Xiang Shaoyun wanted to leave, but he was immediately surrounded by the governor’s people. With one command from the governor, they would all attack.
Leng Yuelou waved his hand and said, “My apologies to everyone. Icecross City is incapable of exterminating this devil. Let him go.”
Leng Yuelou had seen a lot of things in Xiang Shaoyun’s eyes. He hoped that his guesses were right. With the governor’s people not doing anything to Xiang Shaoyun, nobody else bothered him for now.
Leng Yuelou’s strength was clear for all to see. If even he failed to defeat Xiang Shaoyun, the others would have to think it through before making a move. It was not that there weren’t any Saints in Icecross City. In fact, they were currently located near an influential clan, the Yu Clan, which was a tier-7 organization with seven Saints in their ranks.
Their ancestor was a peak Saint who had been in seclusion for 100 years. It was rumored that he was trying to enter the Great Saint Realm. The moment he became a Great Saint, the Yu Clan would have a chance to advance and become a tier-8 organization.
As for their current clan leader, Yu Cangsheng, he was a fifth-stage Saint and the third strongest member of the Yu Clan. When he heard of Leng Yuelou’s defeat, he started getting impatient to make a move himself.
This was Icecross City, and the Yu Clan was the number one clan within the city. If they did not take part in the devil extermination event, the masses would start suspecting their intentions.
At the Yu Clan’s main hall, Yu Cangsheng asked, “Uncle Lai, are Qing’er and Ling’er back?”
A respectful old man was standing before him. The old man stepped forth and answered, “News just came that they have arrived outside the city.”
“They sure know to pick the perfect time to return,” muttered Yu Cangsheng. He said, “Let’s go and meet the devil. We shall take a look at whether he has truly lost his cultivation.”
“Clan leader, just let someone else go on behalf of our clan. There is no need for you to go personally,” advised the old man.
“It’s fine. I saw his fight with Leng Yuelou. At most, he’s as strong as a regular Saint. With my strength, I can easily capture him,” said Yu Cangsheng.
He then left the main hall and headed toward Xiang Shaoyun’s location. Instead of leaving the city, Xiang Shaoyun continued strolling around the streets. However, wherever he reached, all shops would shut their doors while the pedestrians would all run far away, leaving only an empty street for him.
Xiang Shaoyun could see the fear in their eyes. That felt hurtful. He rubbed his face and muttered, “Do I look like a devil?”
At this time, a group of people entered the city.
Xiang Shaoyun looked over and found that the newcomers were the same group he met near the lake, the group led by Yu Qing and Yu Ling.
The siblings instantly saw Xiang Shaoyun’s bleak figure. Yu Qing hurriedly called out, “Master!”
The ice hawk accelerated and brought Yu Qing before Xiang Shaoyun. He hurriedly jumped off the hawk and saluted Xiang Shaoyun.
However, he was unable to complete his bow as some sort of power rippled out of Xiang Shaoyun’s body and stopped him. Xiang Shaoyun said, “I’m not your master. I’m a devil. Don’t get yourself the wrong master.”
“Master, there’s no need for you to be like this. Even if you don’t want to take me as your disciple, you don’t have to claim that you’re a devil,” said Yu Qing as he laughed dryly.
“I’m serious. Can’t you see that everyone on the street has hidden themselves? They’re all afraid of me,” said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
“They must be mistaken. Let us deal with this. Our Yu Clan still has some prestige in the city. With my words, they will believe that you’re not a devil,” said Yu Qing. He then started speaking loudly on behalf of Xiang Shaoyun. Standing beside Yu Qing, Yu Ling grabbed Yu Qing’s sleeve and said, “Big brother, he’s speaking the truth.”
“What truth?” Yu Qing asked blankly. His expression then changed as he exclaimed, “Y-you’re saying that he’s really a devil?”
He was aware of his sister’s special ability. Thus, he had always believed her words. Yu Ling nodded and looked at Xiang Shaoyun in fear, not daring to say anything else.
Yu Qing hurriedly retreated with Yu Ling, as though he was faced with the greatest enemy in his life. Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, “You’re afraid now? Good, leave if you’re afraid. Don’t let people think that you’re with me.”
Yu Qing had an awkward look when he heard those words. No matter how he looked at Xiang Shaoyun, Xiang Shaoyun did not look like a devil. Furthermore, they had just offended him not long ago, yet he had spared them all. Was this really a devil?
“Impudent devil! Don’t dream of harming my children!” Yu Cangsheng’s voice rang out. A massive palm slammed down toward Xiang Shaoyun while a different palm hurriedly dragged the Yu siblings far away.
Sensing the might of the incoming palm, Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to take it on. He immediately dodged aside. Yu Cangsheng had perfect control over the palm and was able to stop before hitting the ground. Otherwise, half the city would collapse under that one attack.
“Father,” the siblings called out in surprise when they saw the newcomer.
Yu Cangsheng nimbly landed on the ground and looked at the two genially as he said, “You sure picked the perfect time to return.” He looked at the old man beside him and said, “Uncle Lai, take them back.”
“Father, what are you doing?” asked Yu Qing anxiously.
“Exterminating a devil,” said Yu Cangsheng.
“Father, that big brother…is a kind person!” said Yu Ling softly.
“What do you know? Return. Your father will be back soon,” berated Yu Cangsheng. He then locked his aura onto Xiang Shaoyun, who hadn’t even bothered to escape, and shouted, “Fight in the sky!”
He then wrapped his aura around Xiang Shaoyun and tried to drag Xiang Shaoyun into the sky. He did not want to fight in the city. As Saints, their fight could destroy the entire city.
“Since you want to fight, so be it,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
Next, Xiang Shaoyun soared into the sky. As of this moment, his entire body was shrouded in thick devilish energy, making him look like the prince of devils. The people in the city saw that and exclaimed in surprise.
“Look! He’s emitting devilish energy! He’s really a devil!”
“The Yu Clan leader is personally exterminating this devil. He won’t allow this devil to escape.”
“I heard this devil had killed even Great Saints before. Can the Yu Clan leader defeat him?”
“That’s right. I heard that a God had crippled him. Why is he still alive? He must have a trump card if he dares to act so arrogantly!”
…
The siblings paled when they heard the sounds of discussion.
“Uncle Lai, go help my father!” Yu Qing said.
“Young master, young miss, let me escort you back first,” said the old man.
