Chapter 638: How Generous

Zhu Changchuang was rather good at observing people, and he had always suspected that the face Lady Shura was showing was a fake one. Through several days of observation, he was now sure that her current face was fake. That was how he came to the decision of having some fun with her before Xiang Shaoyun’s arrival. He reasoned that both Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura wouldn’t survive, so he might as well enjoy himself first. After all, Lady Shura’s figure was truly too alluring. If it wasn’t for the fake ugly face she had, he would have taken her much sooner.

Lady Shura shut her eyes helplessly, her heart filled with despair. She had left the academy alone to prove that she was capable of achieving something with her own two hands. She was trying to increase her strength with her own efforts to reduce the gap between her and Xiang Shaoyun.

But instead, she was captured. It made her feel extremely powerless. She thought of Xiang Shaoyun, wondering if she would have the courage to face him after being dishonored by a different man. Just as Zhu Changchuang’s hand was about to reach her, something else suddenly happened.

The peak Emperor had suddenly returned, sending a palm thrust toward the back of Zhu Changchuang’s head. Zhu Changchuang had a reaction time that lived up to his reputation as a genius capable of entering the Dragon Phoenix Academy. He crouched down instantly and barely avoided the peak Emperor’s fatal attack. However, the peak Emperor did not stop at that, and he pressed on with a kick.

“AHHH!”

Zhu Changchuang was sent flying far away like a kite with a broken string. Both Winter Frost and Summer Flame noticed the disturbance. They rushed over and shouted at the peak Emperor, “What the hell are you doing?”

“Elders, he was trying to harm the hostage. I was trying to stop him,” said the peak Emperor.

“What’s the big deal about that? You were attacking to kill! How are you going to answer to the ninth young master about this?” questioned Winter Frost with a frown.

“I had attacked in consideration of the ninth young master. If he decides to punish me for it, I’ll accept it,” answered the peak Emperor.

“Watch over the girl properly, then. I’ll go check on that kid to see if he’s dead,” said Summer Flame as he dashed toward Zhu Changchuang.

At this time, the early ninth-stage Emperor returned as well. He had not expected that in the short time they had split, his partner would return and nearly kill Zhu Changchuang. Of course, he did not dare to question his partner. They were all sent here by the Di Clan, and he was the weakest of the lot. It was not his place to question anyone.

However, the incident still filled him with doubt. Earlier, his partner had not bothered stopping Zhu Changchuang. So why would he suddenly return and attack? Zhu Changchuang was still alive, at his final breath, and was successfully rescued by Summer Flame. The Emperor’s attack was something Zhu Changchuang had not seen coming, and he couldn’t even understand the reason no matter how hard he thought about it.

Xiang Shaoyun, who was hiding not far from them, had also learned about what had happened. In truth, the peak Emperor was one of the people who had attacked Xiang Shaoyun at the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range. He was Yu Lin, and he had already fallen under Xiang Shaoyun’s control during the attack. Xiang Shaoyun had only discovered that Yu Lin was also here when he had arrived. Through the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, he started controlling Yu Lin.

How generous of them to send Winter Frost and Summer Flame to deal with me, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

The two old men were Di Batian’s loyal followers. They were considerably powerful, and only an old expert at the level of Duo Ji could be a match for them. Even with the nether prison devil puppet, he would have a hard time dealing with just one of them, not to mention both of them. Although he could ambush them with his invisibility, actually killing them was a pipe dream. He might even cause Lady Shura’s death if he tried anything stupid. His only option was to wait for Shang Jifeng’s reinforcements.

…

The Shang Clan was a well-known and influential clan within the Eastern Pass. Although they weren’t as prestigious as the Yu Clan, they were stronger than tier-7 organizations because the clan was a tier-8 organization. Shang Jifeng was the most outstanding Shang Clan member of his generation. Thus, he was greatly loved by his clan.

More importantly, he also hailed from the main family line, giving him an even higher status. After returning, the first thing Shang Jifeng did was look for his father for reinforcements.

His father, Shang Yuanlan, had not expected to see his son. When he heard about the request for reinforcements, he asked, “What are you doing? You’ve only been in the academy for a bit more than a year, and you’re already declaring wars with others?”

“Father, you misunderstand me. I got myself a boss at the academy. Now that my boss is in trouble at the Nisha Range, I need to help!” Shang Jifeng explained.

Shang Yuanlan had a look of disdain as he said, “It is completely normal for you academy disciples to encounter trouble when training outside. If you guys come back home for help at the first sign of trouble, what’s the point of your training? You might as well abandon that kind of boss.”

“If that’s really what happened, I would never come for help. You see…,” Shang Jifeng explained everything to his father.

“Oh. So his woman was captured, and he knows there’s a trap there waiting for him, and he still walks right into it? What a moron,” said Shang Yuanlan.

“Father, only someone with such loyalty to his people is worth helping!”

“Don’t even dream about it. Someone like that will simply die under some trick sooner or later. You should leave him as soon as possible. I can’t let him turn you into a moron like him!”

“Father, he holds a high-grade nine-star physique, the strongest physique in the academy. You sure you’re not helping?” Shang Jifeng was getting nervous, to the point he even exposed Xiang Shaoyun’s physique.

Sure enough, Shang Yuanlan narrowed his eyes. He blurted, “For real?”

“Why would I lie to you? Only someone with that physique can be my boss,” said Shang Jifeng.

“I see. Then we have to help.” Shang Yuanlan’s attitude immediately took a complete change. “Do you know what kind of experts your enemies have sent this time?”

“A few Sovereigns, I suppose,” guessed Shang Jifeng.

“A few Sovereigns? That is really over the top to deal with a young genius. I’ll get Uncle Chen to pick a few people and have him go with you. If you manage to save him, remember to invite your boss to visit our place,” said Shang Yuanlan.

“Thank you, Father. Will do,” said Shang Jifeng joyfully. And thus, he successfully secured the reinforcements he required.
