Chapter 436: Chapter 212: I’ve Paid the Money! I Must Have the Goods! (Part 2)

With the annihilation of the Lan family and the Blood Hall, countless people were frantically fighting over territory.

Among them, the most ferocious contender wasn’t actually the Yun family.

The Yun family was certainly quick, but they couldn’t be called ferocious.

The truly ferocious ones were Tianling Hall and Longshan City.

Tianling Hall was one of the four major powers of Dark Crossing, and in terms of strength, it was on par with the Yun family.

As for Longshan City, it hailed from the Dark World and was one of its major powers.

The divine embryo previously destroyed by Chen Xuan was the young master of the Li family from Longshan City.

And the Blood Hall, which Chen Xuan had also wiped out, was a stronghold the Li family of Longshan City had been operating here for many years.

Following the annihilation of the Lan family and the Blood Hall, Tianling Hall and Longshan City went on a rampage, frantically snatching up territory in Dark Crossing. It reached the point where even the Yun family suffered major losses in the scramble.

Not only did they have to spit out all the profits they had previously devoured,

but even their own original territory was being rapidly carved up by others...

As for the other small and medium-sized factions, they all became turncoats, swept up by Tianling Hall and Longshan City and joining them to sink their teeth into the Yun family.

「In just seven or eight days.」

The Yun family’s fortunes had been a veritable roller coaster.

Throughout this process, the Yun family’s Old Ancestor also had to keep a constant eye on Fahong Temple’s movements, terrified they would secretly succeed in refining the medicinal pill. ’He even strongly suspects that Longshan City and Tianling Hall are acting so crazed because Fahong Temple is secretly pulling the strings. Their goal is to leave me stretched too thin, unable to pay attention to the status of the Sheng Yuan Heaven Repairing Pill.’

’But Fahong Temple would never have guessed that I, the Yun family’s Old Ancestor, had already given the Sheng Yuan Heaven Repairing Pill to Chen Xuan.’

The Yun family’s Old Ancestor was now incredibly invested in anything concerning Chen Xuan.

’Even as my family’s territory was being rapidly carved up, I completely ignored it, focusing solely on keeping a death grip watch on Fahong Temple.’

’But now, everything is fine!’

’The pill is almost ready!’

’Yama Chen is coming back!’

’Once Yama Chen arrives, all these plots and schemes will be tossed aside.’

’Tianling Hall, Longshan City... you think you’re so fierce, snatching up territory?’

’Why don’t you try snatching something from Yama Chen, if you have the guts?’

The more the Yun family’s Old Ancestor thought about it, the more delighted he became.

"Old Ancestor, we have news from the Dark World..."

Suddenly, a graceful silhouette appeared from outside. Her face was etched with alarm as she held a small note, rushing inside.

"Is there news about the Sheng Yuan Heaven Repairing Pill?"

A glint flashed in the Yun family’s Old Ancestor’s eyes as he immediately asked.

"No, please, take a look first!"

With a complex expression, Yun Cai’Er handed the note to the Old Ancestor.

The Old Ancestor took the note. As his eyes swept across it, his heart jolted in shock.

"Yama Chen went to the Dark World and carried out a massacre at the City Lord’s Mansion in Qianling City?"

"Yes, just a short while ago!"

said Yun Cai’Er.

"Excellent, excellent! Yama Chen is truly Yama Chen, hahaha..."

The Yun family’s Old Ancestor burst into laughter.

The more ruthless Chen Xuan’s methods were, the happier he became.

’Let all those who are tearing our Yun family apart weep soon! Let them wail!!’

’No!’

’I need to make a move myself. I have to let Yama Chen know that I’ve suffered a great injustice just to keep an eye on the Sheng Yuan Heaven Repairing Pill for him.’

With this in mind, a ruthless look crossed the Old Ancestor’s face. He swung his palm like a blade, chopping down hard on his own left shoulder.

SPLURT!

He had severed his own arm, and blood sprayed everywhere.

"Old Ancestor, what are you doing...?"

Yun Cai’Er’s face paled.

"Remember this. This was done by Tianling Hall. They pushed me too far and cut off my arm!"

the Yun family’s Old Ancestor said through clenched teeth.

’Losing an arm now is no big deal.’

’Later, someone from Tianling Hall will have to die for this!’

’Of course, as for exactly how many will die... that depends on how obedient Tianling Hall decides to be.’

’After all, a severed arm can grow back.’

’But a life, once lost, is gone for good.’

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

Yun Cai’Er immediately nodded, a look of understanding dawning on her face. Gritting her teeth, she didn’t hesitate to copy the Old Ancestor, her own palm striking like a blade.

SPLURT!

She too severed one of her own arms.

"Longshan City did this to me!"

"Excellent, excellent! Cai’Er, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. You’re a woman after my own heart, hahaha..."

The Old Ancestor once again roared with laughter.

Just then,

another figure rushed in from outside, looking flustered. "Old Ancestor, people from Tianling Hall and the Li family of Longshan City have arrived again! They’re in the main hall right now!"

"Oh?"

The Old Ancestor’s eyes lit up. He grinned. "They’re here? Let’s go. We’ll go and meet them..."

Despite his severed arm, he was in high spirits as he strode outside.

Yun Cai’Er followed right behind him.

Luo Ju, who was waiting outside, looked astonished at the pair. He cried out, "Elder Yun, your arm..."

"It’s nothing. A mere arm is not worth mentioning!"

The Old Ancestor gave a savage grin. "Remember this: my arm was cut off by Tianling Hall, and Cai’Er’s was cut off by Longshan City."

He then continued striding outside.

「At this very moment.」

「Inside the Yun family’s main hall.」

The atmosphere was tense and suffocating, the hall crowded with people.

A Yun family elder bustled about, trying his best to entertain the guests.

The Hall Master of Tianling Hall, Yu Zhen, held a teacup, flicking open its lid. He gently blew away the tea dust on the surface, his gaze fixed on the Yun family expert, Yun Xuan, without even lifting his head.

"Yun Xuan, when is your Old Ancestor going to get here?"

"He’ll be here soon. Tributor Luo has already gone to inform him."

Yun Xuan replied, though he sighed inwardly.

’These two major families are here today, most likely for matters of personal gain again.’

’If things go south today, they’ll probably make a direct move against our Yun family.’

’With the Yun family’s current strength, we definitely won’t be able to stop them.’

’Especially the Li family from Longshan City...’

’They’re a behemoth.’

"Fine. Tell him to hurry it up!"

Yu Zhen replied coolly, then gave a slight smile. He turned to the Li family’s representative, Li Zaisan, and said with a grin, "Brother Li, when Yun Yi gets here, leave it to me. Not only will I make that Yun Cai’Er be buried alive with your son, but the Yun family will have to bleed a hefty price as well."
