“Di Lin, I haven’t even gone looking for you, yet you’re already delivering yourself to me. If I don’t finish you today, I won’t call myself Xiang Shaoyun anymore,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
He instantly locked his aura on Di Lin and prepared to attack.
“What a boastful person,” said Di Mie as he stood before Di Lin.
Di Lin was now a first-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, but he still seemed weak before someone like Di Mie. Since Di Mie still needed to rely on this underling to deal with Xiang Shaoyun, he would naturally protect Di Lin.
“Scram!” Xiang Shaoyun did not hold back and directly attacked.
Golden Fury!
The moment he attacked, he utilized two energies. This fusion attack was far stronger than a regular single energy attack.
“Nothing special at all,” said Di Mie with disdain as he sent a palm attack forward.
The palm crushed Xiang Shaoyun’s attack, proving that a third-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator was not to be underestimated. However, Xiang Shaoyun’s attack was only bait. He turned into a specter and dashed toward Di Lin. If he didn’t finish off Di Lin, he wouldn’t rest easy.
With wind energy and footwork intent, Xiang Shaoyun moved at a rapid speed faster than even a third-stage Saint. After all, he was someone who had comprehended even the profundity of wind.
Di Mie had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun’s actual target would be someone else. He failed to prevent Xiang Shaoyun from going behind him. However, someone else was faster than Di Mie. Instead of stopping Xiang Shaoyun, that person sent a palm attack at Xiang Shaoyun’s head. The attack arrived with the might to topple mountains and overturn seas. When Xiang Shaoyun’s saint soul sensed the incoming attack, he retreated unhesitatingly. He even used his White Tiger Wings to barely avoid the palm attack.
“You’re quite fast, but you won’t be able to keep escaping me,” said the newcomer.
When Xiang Shaoyun looked over, he saw that the newcomer was none other than Feng Huosuo, who had lost an arm to the wolf guard. This fourth-stage Saint was one of the enemies Xiang Shaoyun wanted to eliminate. Back then, Feng Huosuo, Shadowflash, and Situ Mingyu were the ones who had forced him to leave the Dragon Phoenix Academy. He had not forgotten what they had done to him.
“You again? Since you’re here, don’t even think of leaving,” said Xiang Shaoyun murderously.
“What a boastful kid. Today is your day of judgment. You will forever remain a disgrace of all humans,” a different voice rang out.
Two other people appeared from the void. They were Shadowflash and Situ Mingyu. The sudden appearance of three Dragon Phoenix Academy elders caused the situation to intensify.
“What is going on here? Looks like Xiang Shaoyun has quite a lot of enemies.”
“They are Dragon Phoenix Academy elders. They seem to be here to deal with Xiang Shaoyun. A good show is about to unfold.”
“For an abandoned disciple to receive the attention of so many elders, he should feel proud. I wonder if this abandoned disciple can put up any resistance.”
“Today, the Western Desert’s Devil Hunting Expedition champion is about to be reduced into a joke.”
…
When Xiang Shaoyun saw them appear one after another, he realized that things weren’t as simple as he had thought. Hidden Rat hurriedly returned to Xiang Shaoyun’s side. The three from the Xiang Clan also gathered around Xiang Shaoyun. Yu Caidie wanted to go over as well, but she was suppressed by Yu Huayan. As for Devil Concubine, Ouyang Chuanqi, and Han Chenfei, they were free to gather around Xiang Shaoyun as well.
“I advise all of you to distance yourself from that kid. He is a devil, not a human. If you stand with him and get yourself killed, your death would be completely worthless,” said Feng Huosuo. He looked at the crowd and continued, “I believe all of you are aware that Xiang Shaoyun is our Dragon Phoenix Academy’s abandoned disciple. Do you know why he was expelled from the academy? Because he’s a devil, not a human.”
Feng Huosuo’s declaration caused an uproar among the crowd. The looks in their eyes changed when they looked at Xiang Shaoyun. They all wanted to see if he really was a devil.
“Since your academy knows that he’s a devil, why did you not kill him earlier instead of waiting until now?” asked someone.
“That’s right. If he’s a devil, why did he partake in the Devil Hunting Expedition? That doesn’t make sense,” said someone else.
No matter how they looked at Xiang Shaoyun, he did not look like a devil. Furthermore, he clearly used astral energy. He shouldn’t be a devil.
“Don’t worry. Since we’re here to expose him, we naturally have the evidence,” said Feng Huosuo. He looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, “Xiang Shaoyun, I give you a chance to kill yourself. Otherwise, I will destroy your reputation and make you a public enemy. Think this through.”
“Hehe, come kill me if you can. What’s the point of saying all that?” said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer.
At this point, he knew clearly that they weren’t about to spare him. He transmitted to the people behind him, “Leave and ignore me. Their only target is me. I can easily escape by myself. Devil Concubine, take care of my people. I will remember your favor.”
“With me here, they can’t touch you,” said Devil Concubine.
“Xiang Shaoyun, are you going to remain stubborn? Back then, you had clearly used the Imperial Nether Clan’s Imperial Nether Domain. That is no secret. If you’re not a devil, how can you use that ability? All three of us personally witnessed you using that ability,” said Feng Huosuo.
“Pfft. You’re saying all that because I killed your nephew and old bastard Situ’s granddaughter. If you want revenge, bring it on. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” said Xiang Shaoyun as powerful lightning energy started gathering around him. He was ready for a battle.
“Looks like you’re really going to remain stubborn. Fine, I’ll show everyone that you’re a devil,” said Feng Huosuo as a crystal appeared in his hand. He aimed the crystal at the sky, and a scene started playing before everyone’s eyes.
When Xiang Shaoyun saw the scene being played, his expression sank.
