Suddenly, a luxurious carriage escorted by guards came over. The curtains on the carriage were lifted slightly. A pale-faced youth looked outside and asked, “Guard Yu, is everything done?”
“A pair of siblings suddenly interrupted us,” said the black-robed man softly.
“Siblings?” The pale-faced youth looked over and his eyes lit up when he saw Meng You. As Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue’s daughter, Meng You had inherited their extraordinary looks. She had been nurtured since she was young, and she had a robust Godfiend foundation. Her eyes held a spirited look.
“What a stunning little beauty.” The pale-faced youth instructed, “Be careful. Don’t damage her flesh. Send this little beauty to my place. Let’s go!” He lowered the curtain after he spoke.
Chapter 250 - Cloud State’s Wang Family and Jiang State’s Xiao Family
Send this little beauty to my place? Meng You and Meng An’s expressions turned colder.
The siblings looked at each other and made their decision. They had to investigate this Young Master Wang properly. They couldn’t let him off so easily!
A group of guards escorted the luxurious carriage away. At the same time, an elderly guard stayed behind, and indifferently said, “Brother Yu, hurry up and quickly do what the Young Master has ordered.”
“Don’t worry,” replied the black-robed man with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at his subordinates and instructed, “Catch them all, especially this young lady. Don’t hurt her.”
“Are you all that bold in Jiang State Capital?” Meng You’s voice turned colder. “You can capture anybody you wish?”.
“Young lady, our Young Master has taken a fancy to you. If you obediently submit, riches and comfort might await you. If you don’t submit… I’m afraid there will be another corpse in one of the stinky drains in Jiang State Capital tomorrow,” said the black-robed man indifferently. “Jiang State Capital is a place with all kinds of people-good and bad. Countless people die every day. Young lady, I advise you to be wise.”
Meng You and Meng An were alarmed when they heard that. Although they had heard of Jiang State Capital having all kinds of people and how there was a lot of hidden bloodshed, they had never truly seen it before.
Every day, they would be at home or at the Dao Academy!
Now that they had encountered such things, although he was furious, he wasn’t afraid at all. Meng An shouted angrily, “Do you still even fear the law? What happened to the rules of Archean Mountain?”
“Haha…” Those people had mocking looks in their eyes.
The black-robed man’s voice turned cold. “Since you aren’t submitting to us, we can only be rough.”
“No need. I’ll leave with you,” said Meng You coldly.
The black-robed man and the old guard both revealed smiles.
“Sis?” Meng An looked at Meng You.
“You are not to harm Junior Sister Ning and her family,” said Meng You. “You are also not to hurt my brother at all.”
“Don’t worry. You are someone who caught Young Master’s fancy. Of course, we will take your requests into consideration.” The man in black immediately waved his hand. Soon, an ordinary carriage came over. Meng You, Meng An, and Ning Donggu’s family of three entered the carriage.
“Hurry up.” The elderly guard personally followed the carriage and left.
Inside the carriage.
“Senior Sister Méng! Senior Brother Méng! It’s all my fault for implicating you!” Junior Sister Ning wept.
“I told you to stay away from that Young Master Wang, but you insisted on doing business with him. What should we do now?” The woman was extremely pained.
Ning Donggu knelt in the carriage and kowtowed to Meng You and Meng An.
“No, there’s no need for that.” Meng An hurriedly helped him up. Ning Donggu sighed. “I have implicated the two of you.”
“We were just dealing with injustice, yet they dared to capture us as they pleased. From this, one can tell how reckless they usually are,” said Meng You. “It’s not your fault, Uncle Ning.” Ning Donggu sighed softly. “Young Master Wang’s name is Wang Cong. He’s a descendant of the Wang family, a Regis Godfiend family.” “Cloud State’s Wang family?” Meng You was surprised.
Meng You and Meng An were very familiar with the strongest family clans in the Great Zhou region—the royal family, the Qin family, and the ten Regis Godfiend family clans.
“Yes, Cloud State’s Wang family.” Ning Donggu was very surprised by the siblings’ extensive knowledge. “The Wang family mainly resides in Cloud State. Due to the demon monarchs, the Wang family had a family branch migrate to Jiang State Capital. This branch has hundreds of Wang family clansmen. Leading them is an Indestructible Godfiend, Wang Fanchou. Wang Cong is Wang Fanchou’s grandson.”
“There are plenty of descendants from Jiang State Capital’s Regis Godfiend, Marquis Godfiend, and ordinary Godfiend family clans.” Ning Donggu sighed softly. “One can’t do business here without backing. Since I met Young Master Wang by chance, I wanted to cozy up to him. I was willing to be his goon and give him more than half of the money I earned. All I wanted was a stable business. Who would have thought that Young Master Wang would snatch my family assets and not give me a chance to live?” Ning Donggu’s eyes were filled with hatred.
The woman beside him sighed.
Junior Sister Ning was also crying softly. Their future was dark. No matter how hard the family struggled, there was no hope. Meng You and Meng An exchanged looks.
“We’re here.” The ordinary carriage stopped at an inconspicuous side door of a large manor. Meng You, Meng An, and Junior Sister Ning’s family got off the carriage.
“Lock their entire family in the dungeon.” The elderly guard waved his hand as his subordinates immediately grabbed Junior Sister Ning’s family and entered the side door.
“Please follow me.” The elderly guard smiled as he led Meng You and his sister. At the same time, he said softly, “Young lady, if you do not wish for your brother to encounter any mishaps, you have to be more obedient later.”
Meng You did not say a word.
The elderly guard smiled. He had seen too many similar situations.
In the main hall of the large manor, a group of Godfiend descendants was in a drunken stupor. A group of dancers dressed in thin clothes were dancing barefoot. Their alluring bodies were faintly discernible under the thin clothes, making the Godfiend descendants even more excited.
“Brother Xiao, this is a batch of dancers that Windsay Hall has just nurtured. They are nearly the same height and weight. They cultivate the same cultivation formula, and all of them are virgins.” The pale-faced Wang Cong sat beside a white-robed youth and whispered with a fawning smile, “Brother Xiao, are you interested? You can bring them all back.”
“Look at them.” The young master of the Xiao family scanned his surroundings. “Everyone is watching. If I were to take them all, wouldn’t I spoil everyone’s mood?”
“Brother Xiao, it’s more important that you are happy. I have ways to deal with them.” Wang Cong chuckled.
Young Master Xiao shook his head. “There’s no need.”
“Yes, yes, yes. These are still too pedestrian.” Wang Cong nodded with a smile. The Wang family clansmen that had migrated from Cloud State were only a branch of the family. Thus, they needed to have a good relationship with the local head honcho, the Xiao family.
The Xiao family was Jiang State Capital’s number one Godfiend family clan! It was also one of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s top ten Regis Godfiend family clans. It had long been entrenched in Jiang State Capital.
Young Master Xiao was the only son of the Xiao family’s fifth Elder. He was definitely one of the top Godfiend descendants in Jiang State Capital with a large influence. Wang Cong paled in comparison. “Young Master.” The elderly guard silently appeared in a corner and sent a voice transmission to Wang Cong. “That pair of siblings know better than to resist. They have already bee
n sent to the backyard.”
Wang Cong’s eyes lit up as he nodded at the elderly guard in the corner. Suddenly, Wang Cong’s heart stirred. “One has to take risks to reap the rewards.” Wang Cong was reluctant, but he gritted his teeth and approached Young Master Xiao.
“Hmm?” Young Master Xiao looked at him.
“I have a little beauty here. She slightly resembles Miss Peony that Hundred Flowers Brothel has been promoting recently, but she’s even more outstanding. Miss Peony is still a little pedestrian, while this beauty’s temperament is much better. Young Master Xiao, are you interested?” Wang Cong asked quietly. “Better than Miss Peony?” Young Master Xiao’s eyes lit up.
“I saw her with my own eyes. It can’t be wrong.” Wang Cong smiled mysteriously.
“Yes.” Young Master Xiao nodded slightly. “Brother Wang, thank you.”
“I’ll arrange it for you, Brother Xiao. I’ll invite you over later,” said Wang Cong with a smile. “Please excuse me.”
“Go on.” Young Master Xiao was filled with anticipation.
Wang Cong quietly led the elderly guard to the backyard. “Have you investigated her background?” Wang Cong asked. “They live near the Ning family and come from an ordinary family. The elder sister’s name is Méng You, and the younger brother’s name is Méng An. There’s an old servant at home, a woman who does the groceries and cooking, and an old servant named Uncle Hua who occasionally follows the siblings. Their father, Méng Ning, is not famous in Jiang State Capital. He’s only an ordinary Impervious realm expert,” said the elderly guard. “However, these siblings are considered genius disciples in Green Elm Dao Academy.” “Méng? There’s no one with the surname Méng in Jiang State Capital that I can’t afford to offend.” Wang Cong scoffed. He soon arrived at an independent courtyard.
There were guards in the yard. The door was open, and the siblings could be seen inside.
Chapter 251 - Keep Him for the New Year?
In the quiet yard, Meng You and Meng An sat there as they watched Wang Cong enter with the elderly guard.
“Little beauty, I’m not harming you. I’m helping you.” Young Master Wang Cong walked in and smiled. “Do you know about Jiang State Capital’s Xiao family?”
“Xiao family?” Meng You and Meng An exchanged looks.
They obviously knew about the Xiao family. The Xiao family’s newly-advanced Marquis Godfiend-Xiao Yunyue—had a very good relationship with their parents. When Xiao Yunyue returned to Jiang State Capital, she would specially visit Meng Chuan and his wife. She had also brought gifts for the two children. Although the couple kept it a secret and didn’t allow their children to meet outsiders, they still handed Meng You and Meng An the gifts from Xiao Yunyue.
Meng You and Meng An remembered this Aunt Xiao.
The war was cruel. Over the past ten years, many elite Godfiend teams from Archean Mountain had died. However, six Marquis Godfiends had also risen. Yan Chitong and Xiao Yunyue were two of them.
“Young Master Xiao has taken a fancy to you.” Wang Cong’s pale face smiled. “If you follow him, you will enjoy wealth and prosperity. Even your younger brother and your parents will be able to enjoy such a life.”
“Follow him,” said Meng You coldly, “and be his plaything?”
“It’s not wrong for you to think that way. Yes, a plaything,” said Wang Cong with a smile. “It’s unknown how many people want to be Young Master Xiao’s plaything, but lack the opportunity to do so.”
“And if I refuse?” asked Meng You.
“Refuse?” Wang Cong’s eyes turned cold as he indifferently asked the elderly guard, “What did you do to the last stubborn girl who rejected me?”
The elderly guard’s eyes had a hint of ferociousness. “I made over ten men accompany her. When she was extremely exhausted in the middle of the night, I fed her to the dogs.”
Wang Cong smiled at Meng You. “Do you want to be fed to the dogs?” Wang Cong’s smile appeared ferocious in the dark night. It made Meng You and Meng An’s hearts burn with endless rage.
“You deserve to die!” Meng An roared angrily. He picked up his spear and charged forward.
Meng You’s face was filled with coldness as she unsheathed her sword.
Originally, they wanted to investigate this Young Master Wang before deciding how to punish him. However, the siblings currently only had one thought-Wang Cong deserved death!
“How dare you!” shouted the elderly guard as he protected his young master. As for the five guards standing outside the yard, they immediately rushed in and attacked Meng You and Meng An.
Wang Cong was, after all, the grandson of Wang Fanchou-an elder of Cloud Sate’s Wang family. The five ordinary guards were all at the Impervious realm, but Meng An and Meng You had robust Godfiend foundations. Meng Chuan had also painstakingly taught them for years.
Meng An brandished his spear, and Meng You swung her sharp sword, instantly producing spear shadows and sword flashes. It left the five guards alarmed.
“What a powerful spear art.”
“This sword art is so dazzling.” The five guards were unable to do anything to them.
Wang Cong frowned when he saw this. He glanced at the elderly guard beside him, who nodded slightly before stepping forward.
Pfft.
A fast, mirage-like sword thrust forward but was caught between two of the elderly guard’s fingers.
“What?” Meng You was shocked. The elder exerted strength with his fingers.
Bam!
Meng You felt a terrifying force pass through the sword. She could no longer hold the sword as it flew out of her hands.
“Sis.” Meng An was alarmed as he rushed over to protect his sister.
“You really don’t know your place.” The elderly guard sneered. He was an old servant who followed the young scion. He was an expert at the Core Condensation realm, and his strength completely crushed the siblings.
He moved and struck Meng An’s chest with one hand. Meng An had no time to defend himself.
Suddenly,
An invisible force enveloped the small courtyard. Wang Cong, the five ordinary guards, and the elderly guard’s expressions changed.
“What’s this?” The elderly guard felt an invisible force surrounding him. He could no longer press down with his palm. He could not even move as his eyes filled with horror.
The five guards and Wang Cong also felt a terrifying force surrounding them. It horrified them.
Godfiend!
They could only associate such strength with Godfiends! This was a power that far exceeded mortals.
Whoosh.
A multi-colored little bird slowly descended from the sky.
“A small bird?” Wang Cong, the elderly guard, and the five ordinary guards felt the suffocating force around them, but the little bird did not seem to notice it at all. It landed very easily. When it approached the ground, they were dumbfounded to discover that the multi-colored bird had transformed into a white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder coldly scanned Wang Cong and company before flicking his sleeve.
A terrifying force swept over.
Unable to resist at all, the seven of them were sent flying backward and landed in a corner.
“De-Demon… Demon monarch!” Wang Cong was astonished.
“It’s a demon monarch.” The elder and guards were alarmed as well. Mortals were unable to resist demon monarchs.
The white-haired elder hunched his back and respectfully came to Meng You and Meng An’s side. “Young Master, Young Mistress.” Meng You said, “Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Hua.”
“This is what an old servant like me should do,” said Uncle Hua with a chuckle. He was absolutely loyal to Meng Chuan and his wife, so he naturally protected Meng You and Meng An.
Pa!
Wang Cong snapped out of his daze and silently crushed a jade talisman on his chest to seek help. At the same time, he lowered his voice and asked the elderly guard beside him, “Is he
the Uncle Hua you mentioned?”
The elderly guard found it unbelievable as well. He whispered, “It’s all information from the subordinates. They say he’s an ordinary old servant.”
Uncle Hua glanced at Wang Cong but did not care.
“A demon monarch as a servant? This demon monarch’s aura is even more terrifying than my grandfather’s.” Wang Cong’s face turned pale. His grandfather was an Indestructible Godfiend.
“To have a demon monarch as a servant. They have been living incognito in our human world all this while… They must be plotting something big. We actually discovered their whereabouts.” Wang Cong was alarmed. “I’m doomed. I’m doomed.”
Uncle Hua shot a glance at Wang Cong and continued respectfully, “Young Master, Young Mistress, you can’t expose your identities. We can’t let a single one of them off since they have seen me attack. My suggestion is to capture them and let Master decide on their punishments.”
Humph.
However, Meng An suddenly rushed out and stabbed Wang Cong with his spear.
Wang Cong was just about to dodge when Uncle Hua lifted his eyelids and looked at Wang Cong coldly. An invisible force surrounded Wang Cong, immobilizing him completely.
Pfft.
Wang Cong could only watch helplessly as the spear impaled him. His eyes widened as he looked at his chest.
Following that, Meng An suddenly pulled out his spear.
Blood spurted out.
“You,” Wang Cong clutched his chest as blood kept gushing out. He collapsed to the ground weakly and looked at Meng An in disbelief.
Weren’t they just capturing a young beauty?
How did he end up like this? Wang Cong died. “Such trash needs to be killed. Are we going to keep him for the new year?” Meng An’s eyes were filled with anger.
“Nice kill.” Meng You was first shocked before cheering her brother on. She also looked angrily at Wang Cong’s corpse.
