Chapter 26
Chapter 26: The Lost Dog
Yi family.
After Lei Yuntian’s death, both sides became entangled in battle, but the situation completely tilted in favor of the Yi family.
Huang Xingchu’s strength is not weak; he is even much stronger than Lei Yuntian, but Yi Danian is also not easy to deal with, making them evenly matched.
However, with Lei Yuntian killed and Yi Qianmo joining, Huang Xingchu’s mindset instantly shattered.
Yi Qianmo swung his sword at Huang Xingchu, and caught off guard, Huang Xingchu was immediately wounded by the strike, completely disrupting the rhythm of the fight.
From a distance, Mr. Hu saw this scene and his face changed dramatically; he pushed Yi Tianyang away and was about to escape, but felt a chill running through his body.
He turned around and saw Yi Qianmo a short distance away, coldly staring at him. Mr. Hu felt a prickling sensation on his back; if he turned and fled at that moment, he would likely be killed by Yi Qianmo.
"I joined the Lei family later as a guest, and I have no deep hatred with your Yi family. As long as you let me go, I am willing to change sides and serve you!"
Mr. Hu held the sword and chose not to run away because there was no escape; the young boy in front of him was much scarier than he had imagined.
At this moment, Huang Xingchu, who had been wounded by a sword, was completely broken. Under Yi Danian’s relentless attacks, being killed was only a matter of time.
As soon as these words were spoken, the two families still fighting fell into despair.
"You Hu, how dare you betray us!"
Huang Lixing shouted angrily.
"What do you mean betray? I’m not a servant of the Lei family; I’m just a guest of the Lei family, receiving their offerings!"
Mr. Hu replied calmly.
At first, his battle with Yi Tianyu was even, and he even had some advantages. But now, distracted, Yi Tianyu seized the opportunity and attacked him, causing him to become flustered.
But just then, a dark figure appeared behind him, raising a sword that pierced his back.
Looking at the sword that pierced through his chest, Huang Lixing couldn’t believe it, "You… traitor…"
Before he could finish, the shadow pulled out the sword, Huang Lixing twitched a few times and then fell down dead on the spot.
"Xing Er!!!"
In the distance, Huang Xingchu’s hair was disheveled, his eyes wide with anger, like a wild beast in a frenzy, but he was held back by Yi Danian and could not move an inch.
"This is my proof of loyalty!"
Mr. Hu held the sword, kneeling on one knee.
Yi Tianyang had originally planned to fight him, but seeing him like this, he stopped and looked at Yi Qianmo, waiting for his decision.
Although he was not the head of the family yet, at this moment, the whole Yi family began to follow him, even Yi Danian did not have such great influence.
Yi Qianmo said nothing but looked at Huang Xingchu, as if he was hesitating about something.
Just then, Huang Xingchu pushed Yi Danian away with his sword and turned to escape from the Yi family. Yi Danian, who had intended to avoid Huang Xingchu’s sharp skills, couldn’t believe it.
A normal person would react by fighting fiercely, but Huang Xingchu only pretended to struggle. After pushing Yi Danian back, he chose to run away.
"This guy… must be eliminated!"
Yi Danian leaped forward and chased after Huang Xingchu’s escaping figure.
"Grandfather, there’s no need to chase him."
Yi Qianmo shouted.
It was only at this moment that Yi Danian realized Yi Qianmo had been standing beside him all along. After that one sword strike, he had not moved again.
"Qianmo, did you… let him go on purpose?"
Yi Danian found it hard to understand. "This old man is a master at the late innate stage. Letting him escape will bring endless trouble, especially since his son died here. If we let him go, the Yi family will never have peace!"
"His son was not killed by us."
Yi Qianmo looked at Mr. Hu not far away.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu’s face suddenly turned pale. At first, he wondered why Yi Qianmo let Huang Xingchu go, but now he understood.
As long as Huang Xingchu is alive, he must serve the Yi family. After all, Huang Xingchu is a master in the late innate stage. Once a person like him chooses to attack without hesitation, even he is not sure he can defend against it.
Looking at Yi Qianmo, Mr. Hu instinctively lowered his head. The young boy was only eighteen years old, yet he could not meet his gaze. In those youthful eyes, he sensed a terrifying power that could easily control him.
"From now on, you will be a guest elder of my Yi family. My Yi family will not treat you poorly, but if you dare to do anything harmful to the Yi family, I promise you will die more miserably than they did!"
Yi Qianmo stared at him and said coldly.
"Thud."
Mr. Hu, who was originally kneeling on one knee, immediately fell to both knees and couldn’t help but tremble.
Seeing this scene, Yi Tianyang finally sighed in relief. He originally disagreed with keeping this Mr. Hu because if he could betray the Lei family, he would surely betray the Yi family too.
But at this moment, seeing his nephew’s skills, he felt much more at ease.
"Compared to my elder brother’s stubbornness, it seems my nephew is a bit deeper!" Yi Tianyang thought to himself.
Not far away, Yi Danian looked very pleased. He knew that from now on, the Yi family could safely trust Yi Qianmo.
Huang Xingchu was injured and escaped, while Huang Lixing was killed, which completely changed the situation. The traitorous guards showed no mercy as they attacked their former comrades.
In less than a moment, outside the Yi family’s hall, dozens of bodies lay on the ground. Nobody expected that the two families who united fiercely to eliminate the Yi family ended up getting wiped out themselves.
This news spread quickly. At first, no one believed it, but as more and more bodies were brought out from the Yi family, people realized it was true.
"I didn’t expect that the Lei family and Huang family, which have been around Green Cloud City for hundreds of years, would face such a huge change. The Yi family really hid well."
"Four innate experts appeared all in one night, as if the Yi family had received help from immortals."
"What divine help? This is just a show put on by the Yu family and the Yi family joining forces. Haven’t you heard? The Yu family has announced that they are relatives of the Yi family. Offending the Yi family means slapping the Yu family’s face. The Lei family and the Huang family went to destroy the Yi family’s home, and right after that, the Yu family sent people to destroy the Lei family and the Huang family! It was a disaster!"
"The Green Cloud City is about to change!"
Everyone in Green Cloud City is talking about this matter. The two major families among the three great families have suddenly vanished without a trace. This is something they never imagined.
"Booming thunder"
With the rumble of thunder, heavy rain suddenly fell from the dark sky.
A figure dressed in black with a straw hat stood atop Green Cloud City, gazing far at the largest mansion in the city, his eyes filled with bloodshot anger. ‘Yu Changqing, you old bastard, just wait for me! I, Huang Xingchu, will not stop until one of us is dead!’
No one expected that the most powerful person in this city, the head of the Huang family, Huang Xingchu, would now be living like a stray dog.
