Chapter 996: Chapter 995: Princess, Well Fought
Upon hearing those words, Lin Ruhu scoffed and then said, “Kid, that’s not a very funny joke.”
“Is that so?” Gao Yang replied. “You’ll soon understand that this is no joke.”
“Quit the nonsense,” Xiao Guizi snorted coldly, smashing his long stick straight towards the other party.
“What, did that make you mad?” Gao Yang chuckled lightly.
The wine cup in his hand soared through the air, radiating dazzling light.
Like a round sun, the wine cup blocked Xiao Guizi’s long stick below.
...
But the stick’s force was indeed massive, shattering the round sun, and Gao Yang’s figure also flashed to one side.
“A bit of strength, no wonder you’re so arrogant,” Gao Yang snorted coldly.
“Who are you people, daring to cause trouble here? You must not know who I am.”
The group that was accompanying Gao Yang started to clamor at this point.
“I advise you to apologize, lest you invite great disaster upon yourself.”
“An Inner Sect Elder of the True Martial Holy Sect is hardly worthy,” Xu Zii replied.
“Kid, don’t get too ahead of yourself. Just for your information, my uncle is within Maori City,” Gao Yang responded coldly.
Xu Zii ignored him and glanced at Xiao Guizi.
Understanding his intentions, Xiao Guizi’s long stick whirled fiercely through the air.
The stick shattered the void, accompanied by layers of ripples, crashing down overhead.
With a loud “boom,” Gao Yang stood up to block, his head encased in the scorching sun, but still, he was sent flying by the strike.
“Hope your body is as tough as your mouth,” Xiao Guizi laughed lightly.
He stepped toward Gao Yang, and the onlookers’ gazes beca more intense at this sight.
Soone shouted loudly, “Everyone, protect Gao Yang! Go call for Elder Gao.”
The companions imdiately dispersed, so dashing out of the pavilion, while others blocked Xiao Guizi’s path.
“Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding, gentlen,” the people said with a smile, uninterested in further fighting.
But Xiao Guizi couldn’t be bothered with them, raising his long stick to conjure countless afterimages, buzzing sounds echoing in the void.
He brought the stick down with a thunderous impact.
These were but pampered nobles, devoid of any formidable strength; almost at once, they crumbled under the blow.
Standing tall, Xiao Guizi arrived in front of Gao Yang, and smiled, “I’ll break your limbs first and see if you beg; seems you’ve already figured out your fate.”
“Bang, bang, bang, bang,” four sounds rang out, accompanied by Gao Yang’s cries of agony, leaving him sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud.
He glared resentfully at Xiao Guizi.
“Believe , you’re going to die.”
“You’re still talking tough at a ti like this?” Xiao Guizi chuckled.
And then he kicked at him again.
During this, a group of people entered the void outside of Bright Moon Pavilion, walking on air.
This group, donned in gold-threaded armor and numbering around a dozen, looked mighty and imposing.
Leading them appeared to be a general.
As he entered the Bright Moon Pavilion, he frowned and scanned all those present.
Then, the general’s gaze settled on Old Wei and Wei Ying.
The general approached, his heavy armor clanking with each step.
“A trouble for Pavilion Elder Wei and the princess to accompany ,” the general said with a smile.
Those around, upon hearing this title, were taken aback and turned their gaze to that table.
“Princess?” Xu Zii and Lin Ruhu exchanged looks.
“This so-called ‘princess’ must be a princess of the Purple Sun Empire.”
“We’ve hidden so far, yet you still found us,” Old Wei said with a bitter smile.
“Not even leaving a way out for us.”
“Pavilion Elder Wei and the princess, please co with us,” the general repeated.
“I won’t go back,” Wei Ying turned her head away, snorting coldly.
“If the princess is unwilling, then we’ll have to take you back by force,” the general spoke calmly.
“I can only hope the princess will not make this difficult for us.”
“Nothing but lapdogs for that woman,” Wei Ying scoffed.
As the argunt continued, another group of people entered.
Leading them were two middle-aged n of similar age.
Upon seeing these two n, Gao Yang’s eyes split with rage as he scread with all his might, “Father, save .”
The man on the left, Gao Ru Jin, seeing this scene, changed color and hurried over.
“Gao Yang, what happened to you?” asked Gao Ru Jin.
“It was them, these little brats,” Gao Yang said with hatred.
Gao Ru Jin stood up with spiritual energy implicitly swirling around him.
He gazed at Xu Zii and his group with an unfriendly look.
“Gentlen, haven’t you gone a bit too far?”
anwhile, the general bowed to Gao Ruchu, saying with a smile, “Elder Gao, it is an honor to et you.”
Elder Gao was easily recognizable in his grey robe, distinct attire of the Inner Gate Elders of the True Martial Holy Sect.
Though not old, his hair was already graying.
“So it’s the Town-State General of the Zi Yang Empire,” Elder Gao nodded with a smile.
“Is there an issue that needs our assistance?” asked the general.
“It’s nothing, just a small conflict,” Elder Gao smiled, shaking his head.
Beside him, Gao Ru Jin was still eyeing Xu Zii’s group fiercely.
“Elder brother, it’s not so straightforward,” Elder Gao stepped forward and spoke with a smile.
“Gao Yang had a conflict with others; we must first understand the whole story, determine the truth and fairness before taking action.
Don’t start by questioning others.”
“But Gao Yang has been beaten to such a state,” said Gao Ru Jin angrily.
Then he sensed sothing unusual about his brother.
“Regardless, we must first understand the truth,” Elder Gao insisted.
He gestured to a young man nearby and called him over.
“Tell us, you’re Gao Yang’s friend, don’t take sides, and speak the full truth.”
The youth pointed at Xu Zii and his group, hastily saying, “They were eating without paying here, and our young master stood up for what’s right, chastised them, and they retaliated.”
“People eating without paying here in Bright Moon Pavilion is a matter between them and the shopkeeper.
What has Gao Yang got to do with it?” Elder Gao retorted.
“Our young master is just being righteous and standing up for the truth,” the youth explained.
“That’s called ddling in others’ business when well-fed and unoccupied, is it?” Elder Gao snorted.
“As I see it, this is well-deserved; it would be better if they finished the job.”
Elder Gao continued, “First of all, we are at fault; I think we should apologize to these gentlen.”
“Elder brother, you—” Gao Ru Jin was and confused.
Suddenly, he felt as if he no longer recognized his elder brother.
“Elder brother, you are an Inner Gate…”
