Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353: Killing in Fury (3rd Update)
“Oh? Could it be that Lord Long, you encountered the person who just recklessly released their perception?” Zhu Chengzhou asked.
“Exactly!” House Holder Long said indignantly, “This person is at the Core Formation Mid-Stage with Earth Cultivation. I initially wanted to persuade him to repent and come with me to see the chief. However, he pretended to agree but secretly launched a sneak attack and then fled!”
“Long Wei, you might be overestimating yourself too much!” A hearty laugh suddenly sounded from behind several people.
“Long Xiaotian, what do you mean?” Upon hearing the voice, Long Wei realized it was his old rival Long Xiaotian and immediately shouted.
“What do I mean? Surely you know yourself? With your mere strength, how could you possibly be a match for that person just now?” Long Xiaotian said disdainfully.
“Nonsense! I am at the Core Formation Late Stage, how could I not defeat a junior at the Core Formation Mid-Stage?” Long Wei’s face was somewhat unnatural, but he still gritted his teeth and said.
“I remember you said the same to me back then, didn’t you?” Long Xiaotian said with a half-smile.
“You…” Long Wei’s old face immediately turned red, but he didn’t know how to respond.
Back then, when Long Xiaotian was at the Core Formation Mid-Stage, he did say that. Later, when they really fought with swords, Long Xiaotian at the Core Formation Mid-Stage completely defeated him.
It was precisely because of this that Long Wei held a grudge against Long Xiaotian over the years.
Everyone present were old timers of the Imperial Capital, and naturally knew about this incident. Hearing Long Xiaotian’s words, they all chuckled awkwardly.
“Ahem~” Zhu Chengzhou gave a dry cough, slightly alleviating the awkward atmosphere, then asked Long Xiaotian, “Brother Long, from your tone, you know this person?”
“To be honest, this person’s name is Ye Haochuan, and he’s considered one of my younger relatives!” Long Xiaotian said with an awkward smile.
As he spoke, he cursed inwardly, “I don’t know what kind of madness this brat is on, making me humble myself to clean up after him. If he can’t give a good explanation later, I’ll definitely beat him up!”
“Oh? You say his name is Ye Haochuan?” Zhu Chengzhou asked thoughtfully.
He had already heard Ye Haochuan’s name countless times from Zhu Wenjing, who had been saved by him several times.
Later, when he arranged for Zhu Wenjing to enter the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, Zhu Wenjing refused to go regardless. Later it was said that it was Ye Haochuan who persuaded him, and then Zhu Wenjing reluctantly accepted his arrangement.
Therefore, Zhu Chengzhou always had some gratitude and even curiosity towards Ye Haochuan.
He just didn’t expect to encounter Ye Haochuan under such circumstances.
Long Xiaotian nodded in acknowledgment, then quickly explained, “He is usually very well-behaved; it must be that something urgent happened this time that made him act so recklessly. I implore my older brother to consider his youth and not pursue his rashness!”
Just as Long Xiaotian finished speaking, before Zhu Chengzhou could reply, a sinister voice suddenly rang out, “Lord Long, you can’t cover up for him just because he’s your relative, can you?”
Everyone turned towards the voice and found it was Yang Quan. Standing beside him was the House Holder of the Yang Family in the Imperial Capital, but the House Holder was standing behind Yang Quan with a look of deference.
Others weren’t surprised, as Yang Quan was the favorite grandson of Yang Sen, naturally holding more status than a mere House Holder in the Imperial Capital.
“Young Master Yang, there must be some misunderstanding!” Long Xiaotian’s old face flushed, but he insisted.
“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? Ye Haochuan openly used perception to spy on the entire city, already violating Xuanmen’s laws. Even if he had the best reasons, he should still be punished!” Yang Quan said with a cold snort.
“This…” Long Xiaotian was momentarily speechless.
Though he was reluctant to admit it, he couldn’t deny that Yang Quan had a point.
Xuanmen had initially set the rule that cultivators should not release perception on a large scale without reason to prevent cultivators from discovering too many secrets and effectively guard against spies from the Evil Sect.
Especially after the recent war with the Evil Sect, this law had been highlighted.
Hearing this, Zhu Chengzhou frowned and said, “Young Master Yang is right, the law is still the law. We should go and see; if Ye Haochuan truly released perception without reason, he must be convicted!”
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Long Xiaotian gave Zhu Chengzhou a meaningful look.
Listening to Zhu Chengzhou, it seemed like he intended to help Ye Haochuan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said “without reason”.
If Zhu Chengzhou was really willing to help, there might be hope for Ye Haochuan.
Understanding this point, Long Xiaotian’s mood slightly relaxed.
Just as this group of people chased forward, Ye Haochuan had already reached the location where Tong Xiangxiu and Su Yingxue were at top speed.
This place was already in the suburbs, and Ye Haochuan finally understood why he hadn’t caught up with them. Those Foundation Establishment cultivators were evidently prepared and changed direction from west to east after flying a while.
Although he successfully found his mother and lover, Ye Haochuan’s face did not show the slightest sign of relief; instead, he appeared as if he could burst into flames through his eyes at any moment.
At this moment, Su Yingxue was lying against the wall, blood gushing from her head, her life unclear. And Tong Xiangxiu was crouched beside Su Yingxue, crying in despair and utterly at a loss.
But the next moment, two Foundation Establishment cultivators rushed over and lifted Tong Xiangxiu, tearing at her clothes.
Tong Xiangxiu struggled fiercely, but as a mortal, how could she free herself from the cultivators?
Just as the lewd light shone in the eyes of the cultivators, Ye Haochuan’s fist had already come crashing down.
The few Foundation Establishment cultivators hadn’t even sensed Ye Haochuan’s arrival, and with this punch, they had no time to dodge.
Ye Haochuan swiftly swung two fists, hitting the heads of the two cultivators who held his mother. The heads of these two cultivators were instantly smashed into their bodies.
On a usual day, Ye Haochuan would certainly consider Tong Xiangxiu and not let her witness such a bloody scene.
But today, he did not do so. Fueled by rage, he only wanted to tear the people before him to shreds; he thought of nothing else.
And Tong Xiangxiu, at this moment, was too distraught to care about the gore. Once Ye Haochuan rescued her, she clung to his arm urgently saying, “Haochuan, please save Yingxue!”
In truth, without Tong Xiangxiu’s urging, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t delay for a second. Infusing spiritual energy to maintain Su Yingxue’s vitality, he swiftly examined her injuries.
Fortunately, though the injuries on her head seemed gruesome, for the current Ye Haochuan, they were not difficult to treat.
Ye Haochuan quickly fed Su Yingxue a low-level healing pill and then used the Silver Needle with spiritual energy to swiftly treat her.
The remaining three Foundation Establishment cultivators were already scared out of their wits by Ye Haochuan’s methods, almost wetting their pants. Seeing Ye Haochuan attending to Su Yingxue’s treatment, as if sensing their final chance to escape, they turned to flee.
But the next moment, a red sword light flashed by, quickly slicing through their bodies several times. In an instant, they were cut into hundreds of pieces.
