Chapter 165: I Said, Shut Up
Among the crowd at Yin Yang Valley, Tang Rao saw Bai Lian and Fang Yanran, still wearing her veil.
They were both Foundation Establishment Cultivators; naturally, they would appear when Yin Yang Valley was attacked by the Wangu Sect.
Tang Rao quietly approached the crowd and stood behind a disciple of Yin Yang Valley, with Fang Yanran directly in front of that disciple.
"Should I apologize at this time?" Tang Rao muttered to himself.
Although the timing wasn't quite right, it was still an opportunity.
It's better to apologize sooner rather than later.
Tang Rao felt very conflicted.
...
"Chu Xiong, it seems your Wangu Sect is getting a bit restless," Valley Master Fang spoke coldly at the forefront of the Yin Yang Valley group. Although Yin Yang Valley and Wangu Sect were like fire and water, it was the first time the Wangu Sect had directly attacked in full force.
The leader from the Wangu Sect side was an old man in his sixties or seventies, looking withered.
He bore a fifty to sixty percent resemblance to Chu Lisen.
Tang Rao felt that this matter was ninety percent as he suspected.
Wangu Sect had tracked his location, and he just happened to be in Yin Yang Valley. Naturally, Wangu Sect concluded that someone from Yin Yang Valley had killed Chu Lisen and came for revenge.
"Valley Master Fang, I am here not to declare an all-out war with Yin Yang Valley. Just hand over the murderer of my son, and I will leave immediately," Chu Xiong said with gloomy eyes.
Chu Lisen was his only son, gifted and surely able to make a great achievement in time.
Yet, he was killed.
According to the mark left by his son before his death, they located Yin Yang Valley.
The people of Yin Yang Valley, they deserve death.
Not seeking revenge would leave him restless...
But Chu Xiong also knew that if they started a full-fledged war with Yin Yang Valley, they might not gain much.
So, he only demanded the murderer who killed Chu Lisen.
"Ridiculous!" Fang Rujing burst into an angry laugh, "You all from Wangu Sect know your own conduct. Killing innocents, committing all kinds of evil acts. Even if it was Yin Yang Valley that killed your son, I would only applaud."
"Fang Rujing, there's no need to deny it. You should know of the Wangu Sect's Blood Seal. My son emitted a Blood Seal before his death, and now that Blood Seal bearer is in your Yin Yang Valley!" Chu Xiong pointed at Fang Rujing, looking fierce and malevolent.
"Hand him over!" As soon as Chu Xiong's words fell, the hundred men from Wangu Sect behind him roared in unison.
And the Gu Worms of these Wangu Sect people also shrieked sharply.
In terms of momentum, Yin Yang Valley really couldn't compare.
"Chu Xiong, you scoundrel, how dare you be so presumptuous! Those of Yin Yang Valley, draw your swords!" Fang Rujing was certainly not afraid of the Wangu Sect, although dealing with those hundred people and hundred Gu Worms was difficult indeed.
Clang clang!
Hundreds of Yin Yang Valley people drew their swords simultaneously, all bursting with Spiritual Energy, surging powerfully.
Both sides were sharply opposed, ready to erupt into battle.
...
"Um, better to apologize first." In the midst of the crowd, Tang Rao finally made up his mind at this moment.
Completely ignoring the tense atmosphere around him, he stepped forward.
Walking up to Fang Yanran, he stopped in front of her, his expression stern and sincere.
"Er, Yan Ran, I think I must apologize to you," Tang Rao said loudly, completely ignoring the wide eyes beneath Fang Yanran's veil.
"About yesterday, it was my fault. I shouldn't have done that without your consent, I am very regretful now, I feel very sad, and I feel my life has become gloomy because of it. So, I want to apologize to you, very seriously, I hope you can forgive my reckless actions," Tang Rao blurted out.
Since there was absolutely no other sound on the scene, Tang Rao's words reached everyone's ears.
Forced that way?
Fuck, what the hell is this about? Did we stumble upon something we shouldn't have known?
Holy shit, Tang Rao you're such a beast, did you do that thing with Fang Yanran? That's way too much!
And what's worse, you actually talked about it in public.
Also, we are about to fight the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, couldn't you have picked a different time to say this!
"Tang Rao, get lost." Fang Yanran gritted her teeth, the hilt of her sword creaking in her tight grip.
"I won't leave unless you forgive me first." Tang Rao continued with his melodramatic act.
"I said get lost! We'll talk about this later." Fang Yanran hissed angrily, why can't you read the room, you asshole?
This is not the time for apologies, okay?
"I..."
"It's him!" Chu Xiong suddenly roared from within the Ten Thousand Gu Sect's ranks, sensing the Blood Seal on Tang Rao.
The feelings that Tang Rao had just mustered shattered with that bellow.
Do you know how long it took me to build up those feelings? Do you know how hard it was for me?
Tang Rao was furious.
"You! Shut up!" Tang Rao turned sharply, pointing at Chu Xiong with a glare fiercer than anyone from Ten Thousand Gu Sect.
Chu Xiong was confused; this brat actually told him to shut up? Damn! He deserves to be torn to pieces.
"Yan Ran, I really didn't..."
"The Blood Seal is on you!" Chu Xiong roared again, interrupting Tang Rao once more.
"Alright, Tang Rao, we'll talk after this matter. You, step aside." Fang Yanran reached out to push Tang Rao aside.
Snap!
Tang Rao grabbed Fang Yanran's hand and then slowly let go.
For a moment, Fang Yanran looked at Tang Rao in fear, as his face had completely changed.
It became fierce, enraged, like a provoked fierce beast.
Tang Rao slowly turned around, an indescribably intimidating aura emanating from him.
His eyes fixed on Chu Xiong, his body shuddering with anger.
"I… said… shut… up!" In a flash, Tang Rao roared furiously, his mighty presence bursting forth!
Boom!
With Tang Rao as the center, dust flew and his presence swirled around.
Though there was no trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuations, it was intimidating enough to make one want to kneel.
The scariest part was, the hundred Gu Worms controlled by the Ten Thousand Gu Sect all cowered on the ground, trembling, not daring to even glance at Tang Rao.
Despite their masters yelling commands, these Gu Worms dared not make a move.
Joking aside, Tang Rao had devoured the soul of a giant dragon; his explosion of power naturally carried the Dragon Power! And with the Netherworld King Seal, although it couldn't work directly on these Gu Worms, the Netherworld is the absolute dominion of the Abyssal Worms, terrifyingly high-ranking.
How could these lowly Gu Worms match against these two types of beastly dominion?
It was already good enough that they hadn't fled in terror.
"Say one more word, and I'll cripple you!" Tang Rao extended his hand, pointing aggressively at Chu Xiong.
Chu Xiong was indeed frightened, his nearby Gu Worm was at the peak of Foundation Establishment strength.
But under Tang Rao's roar, it too didn't dare to move.
What on earth is this kid's background!
