"Senior brother, be careful!" Seeing this, Lu Linxuan shouted anxiously.
However, Li Xingyun, who was under siege, had no time to respond to her, as he was doing his best to deal with the attack from the five Yama Kings.
Seeing Lu Linxuan's anxious face, Shen Ye comforted him, "Xuan'er, don't panic. Your sister Yunji and I are watching. They can't hurt your senior brother."
He then turned back to look at Yang Shuzi and Shangguan Yunque, and shook his head slightly.
……
In fact, Yang Shuzi had long been unable to sit still upon seeing his disciple being besieged by the Five Yama Kings, but he was stopped by Shangguan Yunque beside him as soon as he took a step forward.
"Uncle Yang, don't forget what the commander-in-chief ordered!"
Shangguan Yunque said this, but a look of incomprehension flashed in his eyes. He couldn't understand why the commander-in-chief had told him to stop Uncle Yang from helping Li Xingyun before he left.
Although he didn't understand, he wasn't flustered at all, because there were two people below who were far stronger than him. Regardless of whether Uncle Yang made a move or not, Li Xingyun would be fine.
But Yang Shuzi didn't recognize Shen Ye and the Empress. Seeing Li Xingyun being besieged by the five Yama Kings and already showing signs of defeat, he clenched his fists and walked to the edge of the cliff, ready to jump off at any moment.
"Oh dear, Uncle Yang, are you not even obeying the Commander-in-Chief's orders anymore?" Shangguan Yunque blocked his way again.
"Get out of my way!" Uncle Yang reached out to push Shangguan Yunque, but Shangguan Yunque was at the Middle Heaven level, not at the Lesser Heaven level, so he couldn't push him.
"Don't be angry with me, I already said it was the commander's order." Shangguan Yunque pouted, but seeing the anxious look on Yang Shuzi's face, he added, "Don't worry, Xingyun will be fine, there are still people who haven't made a move yet!"
"What do you mean?" Uncle Yang glanced at him and asked.
Shangguan Yunque turned around, pointed to Shen Ye and the Empress standing with Lu Linxuan, and said, "Do you see them?"
"I'm not blind," Uncle Yang said irritably.
Shangguan Yunque didn't care about his tone and asked again, "Then do you know who they are?"
"You know?" Yang Shuzi asked in return.
Shangguan Yunque nodded and continued, "That woman in palace attire is the Empress of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion, and her strength is at least at the Great Heaven Realm."
"The Empress of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion?" Yang Shuzi was taken aback, then said, "What is she doing here? Is it also for Nebula?"
“No, that’s not it.” Shangguan Yunque pointed to Shen Ye again: “It’s for him.”
"Then who is he?" Uncle Yang frowned. "Moreover, since he didn't come for Xingyun, he definitely won't help Xingyun."
"That's hard to say." Shangguan Yunque's face showed a complicated expression. "That man is called Shen Ye. I don't know where he came from, but he is very powerful, and the Empress of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion is also infatuated with him..."
"Get to the point," Uncle Yang interrupted him impatiently.
"That's the key point I'm making," Shangguan Yunque said. "That guy named Shen Ye is Xingyun's brother. Do you think the Empress of Huanyin Pavilion would help his brother with him around? Besides, he's very strong, much stronger than me."
As he said this, he couldn't help but touch his face, recalling the moment when Shen Ye slapped him.
Uncle Yang didn't notice his actions, but asked in confusion, "Since he's brothers with Xingyun, why hasn't he made a move yet?"
"Who knows?" Shangguan Yunque shrugged, then suddenly remembered something and said to him with a grin, "Speaking of which, I should congratulate you! You're going to have a good son-in-law."
Only someone like Shangguan Yunque would say something like that, considering the relationship between master and disciple is like that between father and son.
But Uncle Yang frowned deeply: "What did you say? I have a son-in-law?"
"Actually, it's not just the Empress of Huanyin Pavilion who's in love with that guy named Shen Ye; your apprentice Lu Linxuan also likes him and is even willing to be his concubine! So don't worry about Xingyun; his brother-in-law will help him," Shangguan Yunque said, but with a hint of stirring things up.
Uncle Yang didn't catch the sarcasm in Shangguan Yunque's words. He stared at Lu Linxuan in disbelief and muttered, "With Xuan'er's temper, she's actually willing to be a concubine?"
……
(Chapter 2 is in urgent need of updates)
Chapter 425! Shameless
……
Others might not know, but he, who was both her master and father, knew Lu Linxuan's personality very well. Although she was cheerful and a bright and sunny girl, she was incredibly stubborn. He couldn't understand why his stubborn disciple would be willing to be someone else's concubine.
After being stunned for a while, Yang Shuzi came to his senses. He looked at Shangguan Yunque with a sly smile and felt a little disbelieving. He said coldly, "Is what you said true?"
Shangguan Yunque covered her mouth and giggled, "Of course it's all true. If you don't believe me, you can ask your two disciples later... Oh, I forgot, the commander-in-chief doesn't allow you to see them."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Yang clenched his fists. An impulse compelled him to see Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan, especially Lu Linxuan. He regarded her as a daughter, and he naturally cared deeply about who she liked. After all, what father doesn't want his children to have a good future?
However, as a member of the Bad People, he could not disobey the commander's orders. He clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, but in the end, he slowly relaxed them and refocused his gaze on the battlefield.
At this moment, Li Xingyun was already covered in wounds from the siege of the five Yama Kings, but he fought with increasing ferocity and his eyes were unusually fierce, making the five Yama Kings who were besieging him more and more frightened and their morale weakened with each battle.
"This kid's eyes... I feel like I've seen them somewhere before." After being forced back by Li Xingyun's palm strike, Jiang Renjie clutched his chest and looked at the other man's fierce eyes, feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
Suddenly, the memory of the night eleven years ago when he killed Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, Li Ye, flashed into his mind. He widened his eyes in shock and thought, "This kid, could he be Emperor Zhaozong Li Ye's son? But the entire Li family has clearly been... Never mind, whether he is or not, I'll take him down first."
Thinking of this, he once again leaped towards Li Xingyun, his Geng metal energy condensing in his palm, and rejoined the battle.
Whether in the original series or now, Li Xingyun's limit is fighting four against one. Moreover, Jiang Zhaoyi is still alive, so he is now fighting five against one. After fighting for so long, he can't take it anymore.
However, in the original story, with his master's fate unknown and his junior sister severely injured and lying on the ground, he would definitely fight these Yama Kings to the bitter end. But now...
"Brother Shen, please help me."
After fighting the five Yama Kings for a while, Li Xingyun, whose physical strength and true energy were completely exhausted, suddenly shouted loudly. At the same time, he tapped his toes and retreated several meters.
"Hmph, it's no use calling anyone."
Seeing Li Xingyun about to run away, Jiang Renjie snorted coldly. Now that he had guessed Li Xingyun's identity, he naturally couldn't let him go and immediately chased after him.
But just as he leaped up, he felt a sudden weight on his shoulder and was pressed back to the spot, unable to move.
"You..." Jiang Renjie looked at the owner of the hand on his shoulder with surprise, "You actually know martial arts?"
"You're just blind and can't see it." Shen Ye looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were full of mockery.
Then, he applied slight pressure with the hand that was pressing on Jiang Renjie's shoulder, and a cracking sound was heard. Jiang Renjie's shoulder was crushed by him.
"Ah!" Jiang Renjie screamed in agony, but having lived for so many years, he was a ruthless man. Even though he was trembling with pain, he still raised his other intact arm and used all his strength to slap Shen Ye's chest.
Then, he screamed again, because with his mere Great Star level power, he couldn't hurt Shen Ye in the slightest. Instead, Shen Ye's protective true energy shattered his other arm, and he was sent flying backward.
"Big brother..."
Seeing Jiang Renjie in such a miserable state, the other four Yama Kings no longer cared about Li Xingyun. The fourth and fifth kings pounced on him, while the second and third kings attacked Shen Ye.
"do not go."
Seeing his brother attack Shen Ye, even though he was seriously injured, Jiang Renjie still endured the pain and shouted to stop him.
However, he spoke up too late. Just as Jiang Chongde and Jiang Xuanli leaped up, the Empress, who had been holding the hilt of her sword, suddenly made her move. A flurry of sword light flashed across the sky, and two large heads rolled to the ground. Their bodies, after losing consciousness, flew another four or five meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Come on."
Seeing his brother being instantly killed by the woman he had previously treated as a decorative object, Jiang Renjie had only one thought in his mind.
As soon as he spoke, the fourth brother Jiang Yuanxin and the fifth brother Jiang Zhaoyi had already helped him up on either side and leaped out of the sword hut.
"Black and White Impermanence, take men and stop them."
At the same time, the fifth brother, Jiang Zhaoyi, didn't forget to call out, ordering the Black and White Impermanence and the Xuanming Cult assassins he brought to stop Shen Ye and the Empress. However, he had no idea that just as Shen Ye made his move, the Black and White Impermanence, sensing the danger, had already made their escape, and the Xuanming Cult assassins, seeing them run away, also fled.
However, their lightness skills were far inferior to those of Yama and the Black and White Impermanence. Ji Ruxue, Lu Linxuan, and the two Holy Maidens Miaoxuan caught up and killed most of them in an instant, with less than thirty people escaping.
"Shen Lang, are you alright?"
The Empress sheathed her sword, not even glancing at the soldiers, but looking at Shen Ye with concern. Although she knew that Jiang Renjie could not harm him, she wanted to take this opportunity to show her concern for her beloved.
Shen Ye knew exactly what the Empress was thinking. He lifted her chin, gently kissed her, and said, "I felt a bit short of blood and qi after taking a slap in the chest. You can rub it for me later!"
Knowing that he was saying it on purpose, the Empress was naturally happy to go along with him.
"Okay!" She nodded, then blushed shyly, thinking to herself that she was shameless.
Shen Ye was about to exchange a few more flirtatious words with the Empress when he suddenly remembered there was something else he hadn't done. So he said to the Empress, "You wait here for them to return. I'm going to find someone."
"Is it Yang Shuzi?" the Empress asked.
"Yeah." Shen Ye nodded.
He then turned to look at Li Xingyun, who was meditating and adjusting his breathing, and seeing that he was alright, he disappeared from the spot.
……
At this moment, on the mountaintop, the people from Tongwen Hall had already withdrawn after Shen Ye and the Empress made their move, since the one who led them there was none other than Zhang Zifan, the young master of Tongwen Hall.
He was also aware of Shen Ye and the Empress's strength. Although he had two Great Heaven Realm experts with him, he did not believe that they could defeat Shen Ye and the Empress together.
Moreover, he still regarded Li Xingyun and Shen Ye as brothers. Although he would definitely be punished by the Holy Lord for returning empty-handed, he was willing to bear it for his brothers.
On the other side of the mountaintop, when Yang Shuzi and Shangguan Yunque saw Shen Ye suddenly disappear, they guessed that he had discovered them. The two did not dare to stay any longer and immediately went down the mountain along the path.
However, they hadn't gone far when they saw a familiar figure standing not far in front of them with his back to them.
"Gentlemen, why the rush?" Shen Ye said, arms crossed, mimicking the tone of a martial arts master from a movie.
……
(Phew, Chapter Two is finally finished!)
