159: Wanted
🕑 Added 2025-01-17 16:10:18 +0000 UTCAccompanied by an angry shout, Luo Guxie and Luo Shangchen descended from the sky, landing directly in front of them.
Luo Guxie's expression was icy as her sharp gaze swept over the elders encircling Yun Wuji.
The elder struggling under the immense pressure lifted his head with great effort. When his eyes fell upon Luo Guxie, a sense of dread washed over him, and his heart sank.
Why had he foolishly taken the lead in attacking Fei Yang? Now, he was facing the wrath of a Divine Master! Even if Luo Shangchen intervened to save him now, who could say what consequences awaited him in the future?
"Lord Realm King! Fairy Guxie!" The expressions of the other elders changed drastically as they hurriedly bowed, their voices filled with panic and fear.
"We greet the Lord Realm King and Fairy Guxie!" The disciples present immediately knelt on the ground.
Luo Guxie ignored everyone and approached Luo Changsheng. Upon examining him, she confirmed that, despite his injuries appearing severe, they posed no threat to his life and would leave no lasting damage to his body. She gave him a pill and used her profound energy to help him in refining it.
Soon, Luo Changsheng's pale face regained color, and his injuries were stabilized.
Seeing Luo Guxie's actions, the elder who had wanted to attack Yun Wuji earlier pointed at him angrily and said, "Fairy Guxie, this little devil used despicable means to hurt Young Master Changsheng! We need to seek justice for him."
"..." Luo Shangchen glanced at the elder with indifferent eyes. He couldn't help but wonder why such a fool worked for him in the first place. Didn't this elder understand the situation? Was he really so eager to court death?
Bang!
"Ahh!"
Luo Guxie rose from her seat, casting a cold glance at the elder. The moment their eyes met, the man felt the air around him compress into a solid force. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying hundreds of kilometers, blood spewing from his mouth as his body slammed into the ground.
The shockwaves from Luo Guxie's strike sent the remaining elders flying, their bodies crashing through the air for hundreds of meters before slamming into the ground, completely disoriented and struggling to regain their bearings.
However, Yun Wuji, standing in the center, felt nothing from the shockwaves. The only thing affected were his clothes, which were lightly ruffled by the force of the wind.
Luo Guxie cultivated the Law of the Wind, and as a 9th level Divine Master, her control over it was extremely refined.
"Ying'er, are you alright?" Luo Guxie walked over to Yun Wuji and asked.
Yun Wuji lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, and said in a low voice, "Master, I... I'm sorry, I didn't expect..."
Although he wasn’t sure if she was angry with him, it was better to admit his mistake first, even if it wasn’t his fault.
"It's alright, you don't have to blame yourself," Luo Guxie interrupted, gently patting his shoulder. She had foreseen the outcome from the beginning. She could have intervened but chose not to. Therefore, she didn’t hold Fei Yang responsible; the fault lay entirely with Luo Changsheng.
"Haha, Young Fei, it's not your fault. My son made the mistake of overestimating himself," Luo Shangchen said with a laugh as he walked over to him. If it had been anyone else who put his son in this condition, even if he didn't kill them, he wouldn't waste his time speaking to them, let alone speak so warmly.
However, Yun Wuji was his sister's disciple, which meant they were all part of the same family. While it made him feel a bit uncomfortable to see someone surpassing his son, he also felt happy to have a frightening genius like Yun Wuji join his realm.
Even though his sister refused to acknowledge herself as a member of the Holy Eaves Realm, Luo Shangchen believed it was simply because she was still angry with them.
After all, if she truly hated them and still held a grudge against the Holy Eaves Realm, she wouldn't have returned and taken his son as a disciple, right? Because of this, he had always tried to cater to her, hoping to make up for what happened in the past.
He never took her words seriously; after all, women never meant what they said.
"Lord Realm King," Yun Wuji greeted respectfully. He couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for the man, his wife and son had been killed, yet he raised the son of the man he despised as his own. Truly pathetic.
"Ugh, this family's relationship is so complicated," Yun Wuji thought. When he considered how fucked up this family was, he couldn't help but sigh. For a moment, he felt some pity for his sissy senior brother. If there was one person who had been innocently affected by all this, it was Luo Changsheng.
Now that he thought about it, Luo Guxie was truly a madwoman. Why had she used her only son as a tool to take revenge on her brother? There were countless ways to get back at someone, so why choose one that would hurt her son just as much as her brother?
"Luo Shangchen, Changsheng still needs to heal, take him to the medical hall," Luo Guxie suddenly interrupted them. She didn't want Fei Yang to have any close relationship with her bastard of a brother.
She then said to Yun Wuji, "Ying'er, follow me." Without waiting for his reply, she grabbed his shoulder and flew away.
Luo Shangchen watched them leave in silence, then picked up Luo Changsheng and began giving orders before heading out, "...What are you looking at? Quickly help Elder Ling!"
Luo Guxie took Yun Wuji to her place, took out a Profound Imagery Stone, and tossed it to him with a serious look. "Look at this," she said.
Yun Wuji was confused, but he didn't say anything. He silently activated the Profound Imagery Stone, and soon, a picture of a handsome young man bathed in silver light appeared before his eyes.
When Yun Wuji saw the picture, his body froze, and his pupils shrank. This was him in his Invictus state.
"This is?" After recovering from the shock, Yun Wuji looked at Luo Guxie and asked.
"Brahma Monarch God Realm has issued a warrant for this man all over the Eastern Divine Region," Luo Guxie said, staring at him with a complex look. She added with a slight smile, "I didn’t expect you to be so capable of provoking the Brahma Monarch God Realm."
She had seen Yun Wuji's true face when he was unconscious. Even though the man's hair and eyes in the picture were different, she was certain that it was Yun Wuji.
Back then, when he repeatedly told her that his enemies were extremely powerful, she had assumed they were at the King Realm level. But when she confirmed this, she was shocked for a long time.
This guy didn’t provoke the weak Moon God Realm or Star God Realm, but he actually went and made enemies with the strongest King Realm in the Eastern Divine Region, the Brahma Monarch God Realm!
However, even after discovering this, she would never give up on Fei Yang. Not only was he important to her, but his talent alone made him worth the risk!
"Master... now that you know, what... what are you going to do?" Yun Wuji asked hesitantly, his hand clenched around the Profound Imagery Stone.
"Heh, so now you know what fear is? Where was the guy who beat up my beloved disciple earlier, huh?" Luo Guxie said mockingly. Just earlier, he had been domineeringly beating people up and taking money from them, and now he looked so pitiful.
However, her expression quickly turned serious. "You should under no circumstances show your real face to anyone, including your senior brother, understand?!" she warned. "Also, it would be better if you keep your distance from Luo Shangchen. Although your skill is impressive, he is, after all, a Divine Master. Who knows if someday he’ll see through your disguise?"
"Understood, master!" Yun Wuji nodded his head heavily.
He had already expected this move from Qianye Ying'er. That’s also why he had always refused to say anything to Luo Guxie because even if he lied to her, he would be exposed very easily. So, it was better to use this to his advantage and add some drama, to gain some favorability from her.
Just like what he had done earlier, before coming to the Holy Eaves Realm.
Additionally, Yun Wuji didn’t see the wanted poster as a bad thing. With his face exposed to everyone in the Eastern Divine Region, at least a certain Star God would know he had arrived in the God Realm and was in trouble.
Given her personality, she would definitely start looking for him.
'Everything is going as planned... You think you can just run away after what you did... heh,' Yun Wuji thought sinisterly as he held the stone.
He then turned his gaze to look at Luo Guoxi's beautiful face and thought, 'Now all that is left is to give her a small push.'
What would happen if Luo Shangchen knew the truth about his son earlier? He really wanted to see what would happen.
Just thinking of what expression his sissy senior brother would make, he wanted to burst into laughter.
'Wait... why am I acting like a villain?' The thought suddenly struck him.
Luo Guxie noticed the strange look he gave her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"No, I just think you look especially beautiful today, Master," he replied with a bright smile.
"Hmph! So you're saying I wasn't beautiful before?" Luo Guxie crossed her arms over her plump chest and snorted.
"..." Yun Wuji.
