Chapter 3043 - 3044: Unleashing a Big Move

Chapter 3043: Chapter 3044: Unleashing a Big Move

"Great!" Tu Ying laughed happily.

She chatted joyfully with Bai Ruozhu, completely ignoring the intense battle occurring inside. Unfortunately, they hadn’t said much before the Zhong clan elders arrived with their entourage.

With a loud clang, the Main Gate was opened. A group of people stared at Bai Ruozhu fiercely, as if she were a fugitive.

Ao Song had been immobilized at his acupoint, the Astrologer protected him and angrily said, "Release Ao Song, she has held back her strength out of family loyalty. Do not go too far."

This time, the sixth clan elder came, a bad-tempered and skinny old man. He had been the hardliner when the clan elders discussed matters concerning Bai Ruozhu and her companions before.

"Shut up!" the sixth clan elder shouted sternly, "A newcomer who just entered the door doesn’t know the rules and dares to incite the wife master to make trouble. Who do you think you are?"

"Sixth Grandpa!" Ao Song shouted in anger, "He’s my husband, not here to be humiliated by you. I’m married to him, not some wife master."

The Astrologer’s face turned particularly grim. He, the prestigious first Yin Yang Master in Fusang and the Patriarch of the Astrologer Family, had been called a hanger-on. Any man would find it embarrassing, let alone such a proud first Yin Yang Master.

"Tu Ying, you and Ao Qi should return to the City first and wait for us. Things here might take a few more days to resolve." Bai Ruozhu sighed lightly. The Zhong Family was vast and powerful with many affairs. She didn’t want Tu Ying and Ao Qi to be caught up in this.

"We won’t leave. We came here under the orders of the king. No matter how arrogant the Zhong Family is, they should give some respect to the King of Western Regions, right?" Tu Ying said stubbornly and even glared at the sixth clan elder at the Main Gate.

The old man had a hostile tone upon appearing, irritating Tu Ying’s discontent.

"Hmph, even the King of Western Regions won’t interfere in our Zhong Family’s internal affairs." The sixth clan elder snorted disdainfully, then turned to Bai Ruozhu, "Bai Ruozhu, are you trying to escape?"

"I haven’t stolen or robbed, and I’m not your prisoner, so why talk of escape?" Bai Ruozhu glared back, their eyes meeting in the air, sparks flying.

Jiang Yichun stepped forward and blocked his wife, directly confronting the sixth clan elder. His cold demeanor, coupled with having been once affected by Evil Energy, gave his glare an intensity that even the bad-tempered sixth clan elder couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

His heart tightened. How could someone in their twenties project such presence?

"Zhong Family, don’t cross the line. Do you insist on turning against us?" Jiang Yichun said coldly.

"Sixth Grandpa, you’d better stop there. They are my and the Astrologer’s lifesavers. If you continue to treat my friends like this, don’t blame me for severing ties." Ao Song said angrily.

The sixth clan elder, however, snickered, "Sever ties? I’d like to see how you plan to do that."

In an instant, Ao Song’s expression turned terribly grim, his voice almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.

"You’re forcing my hand."

Bai Ruozhu’s heart skipped. Was Ao Song about to make a big move? She didn’t want Ao Song’s position to become awkward; she attempted to speak up to prevent it but was already too late.

Immobilized at his acupuncture points and unable to move, Ao Song suddenly focused ahead fiercely, "Suck!"

A terrifying power emerged from his body, a sudden whirlwind arose, and the sixth clan elder’s complexion turned a mix of pale and flushed.

"Zhong Ao Song, you’re actually resorting to this against your own family!" the sixth clan elder shouted in rage, but fear gleamed at the bottom of his eyes, clearly a facade of courage over insecurity.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly recalled Ao Song’s unique ability. She remembered Xiaoxiao mentioned that Ao Song shared the same ability, most closely matching him, so when Xiaoxiao got hurt, Ao Song would suffer backlash.
