Chương 186: Xuan Wujie

The news of what just happened travelled through the city much faster than Long Feng expected and before long, the Lei clan got wind of it. As expected, the local rulers of the city were overwhelmed with rage and humiliation. Huge numbers of cultivators from the clan were deployed to the restaurant where the incident occurred and the Lei clan went so far as to send a yang realm cultivator to lead the search!

One could see how determined they were to capture the culprits, as there were only three Yang realm masters in the clan. Of course, it was also because according to their intelligence reports, the culprits who was apparently a young man was suspected to have reached the Yang realm. Although it was hard to believe, they still sent a Yang realm master just to be safe. The entire city was suddenly thrown into chaos in a few moments.

Long Feng and the others, unaware of what was happening were currently standing by the gates of the Xuan clan. They only needed a glance to see that the Xuan clan, one of the former five great clans of the city was currently in dire straits. Their territory had shrunk by more than half and a bleak atmosphere covered the whole mansion. Even the guards who stood by the gates looked dispirited and sad. They didn't even notice Long Feng's group until they had walked right over to the large gates.

"Halt! You are in the territory of the Xuan clan. State your purpose!" One of the guards, a peak connate level cultivator spoke. His tone was obviously lacking force. This made the old clan chief to sigh.

"The five great clans have fallen so low?" Long Yuan stepped forward and spoke,"Go and tell your clan chief that Long Yuan, the chief of the Long clan is here" His words made the guards to freeze and they all turned to stare at Long Yuan seriously.

"It really is Lord Long Yuan!" One of the guards who had once seen Long Yuan from afar exclaimed.

"Pardon my disrespect. Please come in. The clan chief will be alerted immediately!" The previous guard spoke with a respectful posture. He was feeling confused though. Were the Long clan unaware of the current situation of the city? Otherwise why would they return? Long Yuan nodded and they all walked past the gates.

It was only now that the guards noticed the others, a peerlessly beautiful young lady that made then unable to think and two young men, the younger looking one who was dragging a person along behind him.

"That guy looks familiar!" One of the guards muttered.

"Of course he looks familiar. He is Long Feng, that genius of the Long clan. But why did he return at this time?" A nearby guard replied. The former was startled and replied,"I wasn't referring to young master Long Feng. I was referring to the one he was dragging along" His word made the latter to pause and inspect the person Long Feng was dragging like a dead dog. He also found him familiar and he soon recognized who it was.

The familiar face and figure stirred up a storm in his heart and he couldn't believe who it was.

"Y-young master Lei Hao!" The guard exclaimed. His exclamation undoubtedly stunned all the guards and and many of them even refuted him, saying that he was blind. But soon, more guards recognized Lei Hao and they all couldn't help but believe that it was truly the young master of the Lei clan.

"It really is young master Lei Hao. What happened to him? And why is Long Feng dragging him this way!" A guard asked curiously.

"Is that what you're bothered about? Can't You tell that regardless of what happened, it is irrefutable that Long Feng dragged the young master of the Lei clan into our Xuan clan. We might not be able to escape annihilation in the rage of the Lei clan! I think this is a plot of the Long clan to wipe us out!" Another guard exclaimed worriedly. His words made all of the guards to turn pale and they quietened down as fear engulfed their hearts.

Long Feng and the others were led into a hall in the center of the mansion where guests were received. They were served tea while they waited for the clan chief of the Xuan clan. A few minutes later, a tall and sturdy looking middle aged man walked into the hall with a smile.

Long Feng instantly recognized him as the clan chief of the Xuan clan as the Xuan clan also took part back then when he revealed his talent and was escorted by the old clan chief to leave the city and the other clans made an alliance to kill him and nip his threat in the bud before he grew. Back then, he was quite weak, barely managing to escape from them. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

Later, when he returned to the city and destroyed the Gong clan, he didn't bother to look for any of the other clans at that time because they posed no threat to him. Nevertheless, he didn't like any of them even though he had no intention of seeking them out. Now though, that the other clans were destroyed and the five great clans existed only in name, he couldn't help but feel melancholic.

"Hahaha! Long Yuan you old thing! You're still alive!"

"Xuan Wujie! You look the same as a few months ago." Long Yuan replied with a smile. Although they were rivals as the clan chiefs of their respective clans, that was only due to their clash of interest and for the future of their clans. In truth, Long Yuan and Xuan Wujie were good friends since they were youths. Long Yuan was naturally happy to see Xuan Wujie again. Xuan Wujie nodded and turned to the old clan chief and bowed respectfully.

"Senior!" It was only right for him to address the old clan chief as senior, because the old clan chief was about the same age as his deceased father. They had even grown up together back then.

"Hm. Xuan boy, it's been a while. Back then, your father was a good friend of this old man. Now, I'm the only one alive among us five back then, and even the five great clans have ceased to exist." The old clan chief sighed. Xuan Wujie's smile froze and his body shook slightly, but he soon sighed and smiled again"Senior shouldn't be bothered much. It is simply the fate of the five great clans to cease to exist someday, and even my Xuan clan was only luck to survive through the gaps."

The old clan chief nodded and kept quiet. Next, Xuan Wujie turned to Long Feng. His gaze upon Long Feng was filled with complicated emotions. This fifteen years old kid who was so weak back then, who they could casually decide to kill at any time was now much stronger than him. This was even based on the last time Long Feng returned and single-handedly destroyed the Gong clan. Now, he was definitely stronger than before. He could have even reached the peak of the yin realm.

How great would it have been if he was from my Xuan clan? Putting these these thoughts aside, Xuan Wujie clasped his fists and bowed. Anyone who didn't know anything would be shocked to see Xuan Wujie, a renowned clan chief bowing respectfully to a kid.

"Young master Long Feng! You still look as handsome and heroic as before." Long Feng smiled.

"Clan chief Xuan is too polite. That you remember this one is already a great honor to me." No matter what happened between them before, right now they were facing a similar enemy in the Lei clan. He couldn't be narrow minded. Xuan Wujie nodded at both Li Yue'er and Yan jian, his eyes pausing on Li Yue'er's face for longer than usual. Even when he looked away, the surprise in his eyes was hard to conceal. He came over and took his seat.

"How was your journey here?"

"It was mostly good. We ran into a lecherous bastard who seemed to have some standing, but Feng'er dealt with him." Xuan Wujie nodded, not bothering to ask more.

"Long Yuan, the Long clan suddenly vanished from the city for months. It was even rumored that the clan was destroyed. Now that you suddenly return, I suppose it is safe to say that the rumors are groundless?" Long Yuan nodded.

"That's right. Somethings came up and the whole clan had to leave. But everyone is fine. We just returned a while ago and hadn't had time to take in the veiw."

"But you should know the current situation in this city. One can enter but one cannot leave. Why did you still come?"

"Don't worry. We have nothing to fear in this city." Long Yuan said. Xuan Wujie took that as a joke.

"You didn't understand the power of the Lei clan. Three Yang realm cultivators! And this is just a branch clan. If they decide to cause trouble for your Long clan, I'm afraid…" he didn't continue. Long Yuan laughed.

"Xuan Wujie, when did you become so long-winded? As for the Lei clan coming to cause trouble for my Long clan, hmph! They can try!" Xuan Wujie was speechless for a moment. Since when did this old fart Long Yuan learn how to boast again?

"Tell me about you. Your Xuan clan doesn't seem to be doing so well here." Long Yuan changed the subject. Xuan Wujie sighed.

"We're still doing well." He was about to say something else when an elder of the Xuan clan rushed into the hall in a fluster, his panic and unease obvious on his face.

"Lord clan chief! This is bad!" Xuan Wujie frowned, feeling embarrassed that an elder of his clan had barged unannounced into his guest hall and interrupted them.

"What it that happened for you to? As an elder of the clan, you can't even control your own emotions?" He snapped.

"Lord clan chief, it's truly very bad. Lord Lei Jun, accompanied by several elites and elders of the lei clan just arrived and are asking to see the clan chief immediately. They are apparently here to ask you to handover a group of people; an old man, a middle aged man, two young men and a beautiful lady." As the elder spoke, his eyes wandered over to Long Feng and the others. He didn't need anyone to tell him that they were the ones the Lei clan was after, as the description fit them like gloves.

Xuan Wujie felt his heart pause for a moment after he listened to the elder. His rage instantly deflated out of his body, replaced by fear.

"Lord Lei Jun is here?" He immediately turned to Long Yuan.

"Long Yuan, it seems like the Lei clan already knows of your arrival and wants to cause trouble for you." He obviously misunderstood what was happening, but he soon frowned.

"That's not right, you said that you just arrived a while ago. The Lei clan couldn't have already dispatched people to come, even a Yang realm cultivator unless you offended them…" Xuan Wujie paused as he recalled something Long Yuan has said earlier. Long Yuan nodded.

"That lecherous bastard I mentioned was apparently from this Lei clan." Xuan Wujie felt a wave if dizziness struck him. What lecherous bastard who seemed to have some standing? That was obviously the young master of the Lei clan, Lei Hao. No one else from the Lei clan fit the description. He was about to ask what exactly had they done to him, when,"Lord clan chief," the elder began.

"Hm?" Xuan Wujie answered.

"We heard some rumors that the young master of the Lei clan apparently offended this group when he saw the lady. He tried to court her and even wanted to use force. In the end, the handsome young man beat up his guards and…" the elder paused hesitantly.

"And what?" Xuan Wujie suddenly had a bad feeling.

"And he castrated the young master of the Lei clan!" Boom! Xuan Wujie felt the world spinning before him and he paled.

"Wow, news travels fast!" Yan jian chuckled, confirming what the elder just said.

"Lord clan chief," the elder began again. Xuan Wujie instantly prepared himself for the worst. This goddamned elder seemed to have become the emissary of misfortune today.

"Also, it is said that they dragged the unconscious young master Lei Hao along with them. Many people in the city spotted them and even the guards recognized the young master" Xuan Wujie almost fainted on the spot. All of this was too much. Beat up the young master, castrated the young master, dragged the young master along to… As this thought passed through his mind, he instinctively looked behind Long Feng. There on the floor was an unconscious figure lying like a dead dog. Who else could it be of not Lei Hao?

"It's over. The Xuan clan is finished!" He thought to himself.

"Lord clan chief, Lord Lei Jun is still waiting…" the elder spoke.

"Lead him in here." Xuan Wujie waved his hand and spoke weakly. He seemed to age by alot all of a sudden. The elder nodded and rushed out.

"They're quite fast" Yan jian suddenly spoke.

"But who is this Lei Jun?" Li Yue'er asked.

"Lei Jun is one of the three Yang realm cultivator of the Lei clan, and he is also the strongest among them. He isn't your ordinary yang realm cultivator but a rank three Yang realm cultivator!" Xuan Wujie explained.

"That's pretty ordinary to me" Long Feng shrugged. Xuan Wujie was speechless. At this moment, a powerful pressure filled the hall, making Xuan Wujie to pale. A tall and muscular man walked into the hall with large strides, his sharp eyes filled with arrogance and rage. Upon seeing this man, Xuan Wujie shook and rose to his feet and bowed.

"Lord Lei Jun!"
