Ancient Sky Fiend - Chapter 57
In the middle of the yard, Yun Shu saw Yun Wanli’s slender figure from behind. With his only arm grabbing the long broom, the old man was having a difficult time sweeping the yard.
This was also because of the heavy set of shackles he was wearing.
The chains clanged every time Yun Wanli moved. Hearing the loud, piercing sound, Yun Shu’s entire body started trembling in pain and anger.
At this time, Yun Wanli slowly turned around. The moment he saw Yun Shu, the old man was instantly shocked. After a while, he asked, his voice trembling, “Is that you, Shu?”
“It’s me, father! What happened?” Yun Shu hurriedly walked to him and asked, pointing at the heavy chains.
“Not a big deal. I’m so glad you’re back! Go back home with me and tell me what happened!” Yun Wanli was beyond excited upon seeing his son standing right in front of him.
Yun Shu wasn’t satisfied with this answer, though. He reached out his hand and gripped the iron chain.
Snap!
The black iron chains, as thick as a baby’s arm, were instantly snapped into pieces by Yun Shu’s Fiend Eagle Claw.
Clang!
The iron pieces fell onto the ground, awaking Yun Wanli from his stupor. “Shu… Your cultivation?”
Breaking an iron chain wasn’t supposed to be within the capability of an ordinary man.
In Yun Wanli’s eyes, Yun Shu was never a cultivator. Yet, several months after they were apart, somehow, his son had become a competitive cultivator. How was this possible?
“Father, I’m able to cultivate and also free now. I’ll explain it to you later. But before that, I want you to tell me who put this on you.” Yun Shu asked coldly.
His father was so poorly treated and bullied. There was no way for him to ignore this.
“I made him wear it. He’s just an old servant but showed no respect to the disciples. I gave him the punishment he deserved!” From some distance away came a glib voice.
Five men were walking in their direction. The man who took the lead was Fan Wen, and the rest of them were his followers.
Yun Shu hated Fan Wen to his very bones. He had been giving Yun Shu a hard time since the past many years. It was also because of him that he was sent to the Valley of Crime.
Also, it was Fan Wen who even ordered Zhang Bao to poison Yun Shu in the valley!
Fan Wen’s name had been included in Yun Shu’s kill list a long time ago. He had been planning to take his revenge on the guy. However, Fan Wen found him first.
A glimmer of cold light flashed in Yun Shu’s eyes. He was ready to finish him for good.
At this time, Yun Wanli pulled Yun Shu’s arm and said, “Shu, don’t. It’s not a big deal. Let it go.”
Yun Wanli was afraid that Yun Shu would get hurt. Although Yun Shu was now a cultivator, he had just started a few months ago. In the father’s eyes, there was no way that his son could defeat Fan Wen.
“Father, don’t worry. They’re just a group of maggots,” said Yun Shu coldly.
Yun Wanli hurriedly shook his head. “Don’t act on your impulse, son! They’re—”
Yun Shu stopped his father. “No worries. It’s gonna be fast.”
At this time, Fan Wen and his men burst into laughter. “It’s gonna be fast? Young Master Yun, spending several months in the valley hasn’t made you retarded, right? You just got lucky with the amnesty, but it seems that you can’t just wait to seek your own death, huh?”
All the disciples in the sect knew about the pardon. Fan Wen, therefore, took it for granted that Yun Shu had just gotten lucky.
What he didn’t know was that Yun Shu was, in fact, the reason for the whole event!
“Go and teach our Young Master Yun a good lesson. A lesson that he’ll remember for the rest of his life!” Fan Wen said in his vile tone.
“Sure!” Fan Wen’s men nodded and walked to Yun Shu in a threatening manner.
“Young Master Yun, if we break your arm or leg later, don’t cry out to other people. It’s just a spar between disciples, after all. However, don’t blame us for bullying the weak because we have more people,” One of them said with a vicious smile.
Yun Shu responded, “I won’t blame you. Bullying the weaker with a greater number of people is also my favorite.”
Then he turned around and said to Feng He and his followers, who had been hiding themselves around from the very beginning, “Did all of you hear that? The several Senior Brothers just said that this is only a conflict between disciples in the same sect. So all of you make your own decision on whether you want to break their arms or legs.”
“No problem!” The eight hundred men suddenly popped out from every direction and exclaimed in a single voice.
Seeing Yun Shu’s men approaching them in an aggressive posture, the four of them were scared out of their pants. They had indeed noticed them earlier. However, it had never occurred to them that they were, in fact, all Yun Shu’s followers.
At Yun Shu’s command, his followers—more than eight hundred of them—made a mad dash for Fan Wen’s men.
Four men versus eight hundred. What kind of fight was that?
“Wait…”
“Wait my ass!”
Of course, Yun Shu’s men wouldn’t wait. Fan Wen’s underlings were immediately besieged.
This was by no means a spar between disciples in the same sect! This was simply a mass brawl!
Seeing that, Fan Wen was absolutely shocked. He couldn’t understand why so many people would listen to Yun Shu’s command.
Standing behind Yun Shu, Yun Wanli almost dropped his chin. Just like others, he couldn’t believe his eyes, either. He couldn’t help wondering what had happened to his son in the Valley of Crime.
The fight had also attracted the attention of other disciples. Many onlookers started gathering at the scene, but they had no idea what was going on.
At this time, a cold voice arrived and scolded the crowd, “Step aside!”
Hearing that, the spectators hurriedly got out of the way. Three seniors were coming in this direction at a fast pace. Fan Wen’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Master! Please save them! They’re gonna be killed!” Fan Wen cried.
Among the three Elders, the one in the lead was Fan Wen’s master, Chen Sheng!
By giving his disciples orders behind the scenes, it was also Chen Sheng who had kept making Yun Shu and his father suffer in the past years. Therefore, seeing him, Yun Shu’s eyes turned even colder.
“Stop!” Chen Sheng yelled at Yun Shu’s followers. However, no one paid any mind to him at all. They kept beating up Fan Wen’s men.
“Stop! Did you hear me?!” Chen Sheng kept hollering. However, he was totally ignored.
“Stop! Right! Now! Are all of you going against my command?!” Chen Sheng tried for the third time but still got the same result.
Seeing that the four men only had one last breath left, Yun Shu snorted and said, “Stop.”
“Yes!”
His men instantly broke off the beating and stepped aside. The audience was all shocked.
Chen Sheng, an Elder of the outer sect, was completely ignored!
Yet, Yun Shu’s followers obeyed their leader’s one single word unconditionally!
What did this mean?
It meant that in those people’s eyes, compared to Yun Shu, an Elder of the outer sect was of no significance at all!
