Chapter 1022: He Is Too Handsome
Chapter 1022: He Is Too Handsome
When everyone saw how easily Xiang Shaoyun defeated the two Emperors, they started wondering who the young man was. Quite a lot of Cloud Margin Pavilion members had seen Xiang Shaoyun before. Many of them had deep impressions of him.
After all, Xiang Shaoyun was someone who had trashed Lightning Kid, Chen Zilong, Xie Sanqian, and the other young geniuses, becoming the pavilion’s most illustrious youth. Eventually, some terrifying Emperors had come to kill him and nearly destroyed the entire Cloud Margin Pavilion.
Who would have thought that Xiang Shaoyun would reappear before them in such a manner? Even the Cloud Margin Pavilion’s higher-ups were filled with disbelief. How many years had it been? He had already reached that height? He was wiping the ground with Emperors like they were some bugs. It was way too shocking.
“The young are truly to be feared,” lamented Chen Jiayan.
People like Murong Qing, Yue Yuze, and the others felt the same. They even had a feeling like they had wasted all the years they had been living.
Hua Cheng was the only one who wasn’t paying that much attention to Xiang Shaoyun. Rather, her gaze had landed on a different man who similarly looked heroic.
“Big Brother Du,” Hua Cheng shouted, her voice filled with emotions.
When Du Xuanhao saw Hua Cheng, a gentle smile appeared on his face. Without any hesitation, he dove down from the sky toward her.
“Hua Cheng,” he called out gently when he reached her.
Instead of saying anything, she jumped into his arms. She had long fallen for him, and she had made it known many times. However, he had been avoiding her, and it hurt her greatly. Now that Du Xuanhao was letting a trace of his feelings show on his face, she finally knew that he felt the same about her as well.
Du Xuanhao still had some unresolved issues in his heart. The woman he had loved had died because of him, and he had yet to avenge her. Therefore, he had been avoiding Hua Cheng. But over the years he had spent fighting in the Devil Domain, he had hovered on the edge of life and death many times. He started occasionally recalling the gentle Hua Cheng, and only then did he realize that he had feelings for her as well.
He was already a Soul Foundation Realm expert, and his chances of getting his revenge were much higher than before. Because of that, the wall in his heart was slowly being removed.
Xiang Shaoyun felt like he was dirtying his legs just by stepping on Lin Ha and Xu Ziyang. He looked at Gong Qinyin and Zi Changhe before asking, “Qinyin, senior brother, how do you want to deal with them?”
With a sharp gaze, Gong Qinyin said, “People like them deserve death.”
Zi Changhe said, “We should just release them. Otherwise, things will be troublesome if the Dragon Society decides to pursue this incident.”
Zi Changhe clearly had more worries in his mind, but his worries were worth considering.
Lin Ha hurriedly said, “That’s right. If you kill us, the Dragon Society will level the entire Cloud Margin Pavilion.”
“Hehe, you overestimate yourself,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer before stomping Lin Ha’s neck.
Crack!
Lin Ha only felt a sharp pain before descending into eternal darkness.
Even at his death, he couldn’t believe that Xiang Shaoyun really dared to kill him. The surrounding people felt a chill creep up their spines, and they shuddered involuntarily. Xu Ziyang was so frightened his entire body trembled. He wanted to break free, but Xiang Shaoyun’s leg felt like a mountain that was keeping him completely rooted.
He was still in disbelief over the terrifying combat prowess the young man had. Was this young man actually a Soul Foundation Realm expert? He shouldn’t have been able to defeat the both of them so easily otherwise.
“Stop struggling, and don’t worry. I’m not killing you. I still need you to go back and mislead the Dragon Society for me,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.
He then chanted and sent numerous ancient symbols toward Xu Ziyang’s head. Soon, Xu Ziyang fell under his complete control. Nobody could see the symbols, and the only thing they saw was Xiang Shaoyun staring at Xu Ziyang for a bit before releasing him.
“You know what to say after returning, right?” asked Xiang Shaoyun calmly.
“Yes, master. Lin Ha was killed by bandits. His death has nothing to do with you and the Cloud Margin Pavilion,” said Xu Ziyang deferentially.
In the past, Xiang Shaoyun had needed to exert great effort to instill subservience in his puppets, but he no longer needed to in this case. His soul power was far beyond Xu Ziyang’s. As Xu Ziyang was now under Xiang Shaoyun’s control, he wouldn’t dare to think of betrayal, or he wouldn’t be able to escape death.
“Um. Return obediently. You may keep your life,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he patted Xu Ziyang’s shoulder like he was talking to his servant.
After giving Xiang Shaoyun a respectful bow, Xu Ziyang left. Everyone was dumbfounded. They had no idea what had happened to Xu Ziyang, who was still so arrogant just a short while ago. Had he submitted to Xiang Shaoyun out of pure fear? That did not seem possible, and it was also unlikely that Xiang Shaoyun would actually release him so easily.
Unfortunately, the people present were too weak to see what had actually happened. They would never have guessed that Xu Ziyang had fallen under Xiang Shaoyun’s control so quickly. Their confusion did not stop them from greatly admiring Xiang Shaoyun. That was especially true for the younger disciples who were now viewing Xiang Shaoyun as their idol.
They loved that domineering feeling he exuded, and they wished to be as powerful as him. Only with such strength would they be able to suppress all opponents and capture the hearts of the ones they loved. Many of the Cloud Margin Pavilion’s female disciples were completely infatuated with Xiang Shaoyun.
“He is too handsome and is much better than that egoistical Lin Ha. No wonder Senior Sister Qinyin waited so long for him. He is a perfect man, and I love him.”
“You’re right, but too bad the gap between us and him is too wide. We can only watch on as a perfect man like him brushes past us.”
“Wu, wu, I really like him. I am losing control over myself, and I’m scared that I won’t get to see him anymore after this. I’m also scared that I will compare him to every other man I meet in the future. He is too domineering.”
“He is like the son of heaven. Regular women like us won’t be able to have him. Only an extraordinary woman like Senior Sister Qinyin is worthy of standing alongside him. Let’s just wish them happiness.”
…
At a certain corner, an incredibly beautiful woman was watching on as everything happened. Tears dripped down her eyes as she turned and walked away while whispering, “I wish you happiness.”
