  For now, Lady Shura and the Han Clan sisters had yet to join any faction. The time for them to wait around was almost up, and if they still remained without a faction after this, trouble would come looking.

  Di Lin headed a faction called the Di Alliance, and this was a faction that had been constantly creating trouble for Lady Shura and the Han Clan sisters. Today, Yi Xuan had arrived at Lady Shura's villa with seven other people from the Di Alliance.

  Yi Xuan had joined the academy as a regular disciple. He had subsequently encountered Di Lin and flattered him enough to become a member of the Di Alliance. It was unknown how he had earned Di Lin's grace, but he was able to quickly become one of Di Lin's trusted aides. With that, his status within the Di Alliance quickly became extraordinary.

  He had long taken a liking to the Han Clan sisters. He wanted to have them for himself, annoying Xiang Shaoyun by making him relive the experience of having his women snatched from him. Of course, the main reason he did this was so he could help vent Di Lin's anger at Xiang Shaoyun.

  Someone with Yi Xuan's status was not supposed to be qualified to enter the residential area of core disciples. But by his side this time was Yue Huangquan, a core disciple ranked higher than Lady Shura on the Serpent Fowl List. He was very close to entering the Jiao Luan List and had a cultivation level of first-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. He was also why the group was able to smoothly arrive before Lady Shura's villa. There, Yi Xuan directly kicked the door open, showing no fear whatsoever.

  "Get out here right this moment, Lady Shura. Today, I am taking the Han Clan girls away with me," shouted Yi Xuan brazenly.

  Chapter 580: The Trouble of Lady Shura and the Han Clan Sisters

  Lady Shura and Han Clan sisters left their rooms after hearing the shout. These days, many factions had come to invite them to join their respective factions. After all, Lady Shura occupied the upper middle ranges in the Serpent Fowl List and possessed decent combat prowess.

  However, she had not agreed to any invitations and had remained unaffiliated with the Han Clan sisters. Yi Xuan was going overboard coming in force to take the Han Clan sisters with him. Lady Shura still wore her same mask, her eyes exuding a captivating splendor, and her hourglass figure was still as enchanting as ever.

  A lot of people were interested in her. If it wasn't for the somewhat irksome mask she wore all the time, there would be a lot of playboys pursuing her already. One could say that her mask had helped her avoid quite a number of troubles.

  Lady Shura looked at the intruders coldly and berated, "You are acting too impudently! Are you ignoring the academy rules?"

  Although personal battles were not prohibited by the academy, intruding upon someone's residence like this was most definitely a taboo. It was not that Yi Xuan and company weren't aware of it, but they had bribed the patrols to temporarily stay away from the area. That was why they were acting so fearlessly.

  "Hmph. It is not your place to decide if we are being impudent. Today, the two Han Clan girls better obediently come with me. If they do, I will let this matter end here. Of course, Lady Shura, you're always welcome to join the Di Alliance as well. That way, we can have your back as well. Choose one between the two options, or I will have no choice but to be a bully today. In any case, the two girls had joined as followers and aren't protected by the academy," said Yi Xuan.

  The expressions of the Han Clan sisters fell. They had initially thought that after joining they would receive the care and guidance of the academy. Unfortunately, they had both been mistaken. Any sort of care, guidance, or resources were reliant upon the person they were following. That person would be the one to fight for all that on their behalf.

  With Xiang Shaoyun nowhere to be seen, they had been in an extremely passive situation. If it wasn't for Lady Shura, they didn't even know what would have happened to them by now. With Yi Xuan so blatantly bullying them, they no longer wanted to swallow the humiliation.

  "Even if we die, we won't go with you!" said Han Qianwei resolutely.

  "At most, we'll leave the academy," said Han Xuewei.

  "Haha, sure, go and die if you want. I won't stop you. But after joining the academy, it won't be so easy to leave," said Yi Xuan as he roared with laughter. "Why are you being so stubborn? Xiang Shaoyun has been banished to the forbidden zone. He won't be able to leave anymore. There is no future in remaining his followers. Only by following me will you two have a chance to accomplish something in the academy. Why are you being stupid together with this woman?"

  "Stop wasting your time. This is unrelated to Lady Shura. We will fight you to the death!" Han Qianwei said.

  She had reached this decision because she did not want to burden Lady Shura. As she spoke, she grabbed her younger sister's hand and started leaving the villa. So long as they left, Yi Xuan and company would not dare to do anything to Lady Shura. After all, she was still a core disciple.

  But right as they were about to leave, Lady Shura stopped them and said indifferently, "Before Shaoyun shows himself, you are not allowed to leave this place."

  "Lady Shura, let us go. We will only bring you trouble," said Han Qianwei.

  "If I'm afraid of trouble, I wouldn't have brought you here in the first place," said Lady Shura. She then drew her weapon and looked at Di Shang's group coldly. "Bring it on. If you don't kill me today, let's see who will be the one to ultimately suffer after I make a big deal out of this."

  Lady Shura was prepared to throw caution to the wind. Thus, she was unafraid of making a big fuss. It was the only way to deter them from creating more trouble for her.

  "Senior Brother Yue, I'll have to trouble you to deal with this girl. Let's end the battle as quickly as possible," said Yi Xuan respectfully.

  The young man beside him had soft facial features, wielded an s-shaped sword, wore snake-skin armor, and exuded a sinister and cold aura. Anyone he focused on would feel extremely unwell, as if that person had been bitten by a viper.

  "Lady Shura, become my lover. I like you," said Yue Huangquan as he scanned Lady Shura's seductive body with a lustful look.

  Unlike others, Yue Huangquan cared less about someone's face. Instead, he liked someone like Lady Shura who was mysterious and seductive. That was why he had been willing to take the risk of bringing Yi Xuan and the others to her residence.

  One could say that both Yi Xuan and Yue Huangquan were here for their own reasons. The only reply Yue Huangquan received was Lady Shura's sword, which was aimed straight at his throat. The moment she attacked, she used her full strength, not worried whatsoever that she would kill him.

  Yue Huangquan was no pushover either. He moved his body to the side and dodged the attack before grabbing at her wrist. She was unable to avoid the grab in time, and her opponent even took the chance to grab at her chest.

  Shura's Battle Projection!

  She activated the Shura's Battle Projection, erupting with a powerful aura as a projection of a shura appeared around her. She forcefully broke free of Yue Huangquan and repeatedly kicked at his lower body.

  However, Yue Huangquan displayed the might of an expert above Lady Shura in the Serpent Fowl List. With snakelike footwork, he avoided the kicks and sent his aura of an Emperor out to suppress Lady Shura. He sent a series of snake-shaped attacks toward the protruding parts of Lady Shura's body. Just based on what he was doing in the midst of battle, this fellow was a pervert through and through.

  Meanwhile, Yi Xuan sneered, "Both of you, come with me obediently."

  He dashed at the sisters and grabbed at their vitals, attempting to subdue them with a single move. He was now a first-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. The sisters were not his match. Before they could even react, he had grabbed both their necks.

  He shouted to Lady Shura, "Lady Shura, su
rrender or I'll kill both of them!"

  His words distracted Lady Shura, allowing Yue Huangquan to strike her stomach, sending her flying and coughing blood.

  "Haha, come with us as well. After doing the deed, you will definitely be willing to become my woman!" said Yue Huangquan after subduing Lady Shura as he laughed joyfully. Right that moment, two figures streaked toward them.

  One of them roared furiously, "You dare to take advantage of this young master's woman? What impudence!"

  Chapter 581: Burning Anger

  The shout came from none other than Xiang Shaoyun. After the grand elders brought him out of the Back Graveyard, they hadn't accepted him as a disciple. Instead, they merely got Xiao Wei to send him to the core disciples' residential area.

  No matter what, Xiang Shaoyun was still a special-recruit disciple. Even if he hadn't been taken as anyone's personal disciple, he still possessed his own villa. In any case, the grand elders all knew that the gravekeeper elder had personally instructed Xiang Shaoyun. They would not dare to recklessly do anything to him after that.

  On the way to the residential area, Xiang Shaoyun had naturally asked about Tang Longfei, Lady Shura, and the others. It had been a year since they joined the academy. He was getting impatient to find out how everyone was doing. He was mostly worried that his issue would implicate them.

  If Xiang Shaoyun had asked about other disciples, Xiao Wei might not know anything. After all, it was not like he could keep tabs on everything going on in the academy. But that was not the case for Tang Longfei, Lady Shura, and company. He had been paying attention to them for Xiang Shaoyun's sake.

  After hearing about Tang Longfei and Lady Shura, and after learning that Lady Shura was residing in the core disciples' residential area, Xiang Shaoyun came over with Xiao Wei. When he was near, he sensed that something had happened at Lady Shura's villa and quickly rushed over with Xiao Wei. He had not expected that the first thing he saw after being released was the sight of his three women being bullied. It made him furious.

  When Xiang Shaoyun's voice rang out, both Yi Xuan and Yue Huangquan looked over. The only thing they felt was a gust of wind blowing at them as a figure suddenly appeared before them. At the sight of the newcomer, their pupils constricted. They had an extremely deep impression of the person before them.

  It was Xiang Shaoyun, the person who had been thrown into the Back Graveyard right after joining the academy. One could say that Xiang Shaoyun had created a record time of how long it took for one to be sent to the Back Graveyard after joining. Everyone believed that Xiang Shaoyun would not be able to leave, and even if he managed to leave, he would be as good as crippled.

  However, Xiang Shaoyun seemed to have left the Back Graveyard intact, and his aura seemed even more impressive than before. The realization caused their confidence to waver. Even so, they weren't actually afraid of him. After all, Xiang Shaoyun was only someone with a great physique. It did not necessarily mean that his current combat prowess was higher than theirs.

  "Move your dirty hands away from them or all of you can die," said Xiang Shaoyun, his eyes filled with rage.

  "What boastful words! Who do you think you are? Shen Jiang, go teach him a lesson. Let him understand how he should behave around us," said Yi Xuan toward a young man beside him.

  That young man was slightly weaker than Yi Xuan, but he was still a War Emperor with a draconic aura 95 percent complete. He was basically almost a Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. Hearing Yi Xuan's command, Shen Jiang wasted no time talking. He directly charged Xiang Shaoyun.

  Torrential River!

  The moment he attacked, Shen Jiang used his full power. A blue radiance shone brightly from his body as he brandished his polearm, sending waves of blue energy crashing down toward Xiang Shaoyun like a torrential river. Not a single person capable of joining the Dragon Phoenix Academy was a pushover.

  Shen Jiang's combat prowess was no weaker than Tang Longfei's from a year ago. In fact, he seemed considerably stronger than that. He was two years younger than Tang Longfei, and that was the main reason why he was still not an Emperor. It could be concluded that Shen Jiang and Tang Longfei were equally matched in terms of talent, and the only gap between the two was the time in which both had cultivated.

  A year ago, such strength was enough to pose a tiny threat to Xiang Shaoyun. But threatening him now with such combat strength was nothing more than a dream. When Shen Jiang's attack was about to land, Xiang Shaoyun's body twisted slightly, and he completely avoided the attack. His hand shot forth like a bolt of lightning and grabbed Shen Jiang's shoulder. His fingers dug deep into Shen Jiang's flesh as he started ripping the arm off.

  "AHHH!"

  Shen Jiang wailed like a pig being slaughtered as his arm was ripped off his shoulder. Blood sprayed everywhere, presenting a dreadful sight. Xiang Shaoyun did not stop at that. He tossed the severed arm away and gave Shen Jiang, who was in massive pain, a kick.

  Like a dog, Shen Jiang was sent flying and crashed heavily far away. Yi Xuan, Yue Huangquan, and the others were greatly shocked. They had not imagined that Shen Jiang would be crippled with a single attack. Sure, they were also capable of that, but they wouldn't dare attack a fellow disciple in the academy so ruthlessly.

  "I will give you a chance to sever one arm each and I will let this matter rest. Otherwise, I will personally take your arms," said Xiang Shaoyun as he coldly swept his eyes over them.

  He had been holding his temper in for an entire year. The only thing he had done was reveal his talent so the academy would pay attention in nurturing him, but he had ended up being thrown into the Back Graveyard instead. He even nearly got himself killed there! Although the gravekeeper elder had appeared to give him some pointers, he was still furious.

  Yi Xuan and Yue Huangquan were basically perfect targets for him to vent his anger. They were simply unlucky. Of course, they wouldn't submit just like that.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, for harming a fellow disciple like that, the enforcers will not spare you! Kneel down and submit. Perhaps we will consider begging for leniency on your behalf then," said Yi Xuan.

  Xiang Shaoyun shot him a glance and without saying anything, vanished into thin air. Yi Xuan cultivated the power of wind and had sharp senses on top of incredible speed. However, he didn't even notice anything before Xiang Shaoyun reappeared behind him. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to do anything. Without hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun landed a heavy punch on his back.

  A first-stage Emperor like Yi Xuan was sent flying and coughing blood. As he was still holding onto the Han Clan sisters, they were dragged along as he flew. However, the Han Clan sisters weren't harmed. They quickly took the chance to break free and retreated to the side. After freeing the sisters, Xiang Shaoyun did not waste any time chasing after Yi Xuan. Instead, he charged Yue Huangquan.

  Overlord's Nine Nether Steps!

  He utilized the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps with the power of wind, reaching a speed that made him seem like an undetectable phantom. Yue Huangquan was a crafty person. He immediately placed a weapon at Lady Shura's throat and threatened, "If you dare touch me, I will kill—"

  Before he could finish his sentence, his arm was assaulted by numbness, and he dropped the sword in his hand. He had been struck by Xiang Shaoyun's Vicious Prison Finger. Instead of approaching Yue Huangquan, Xiang Shaoyun moved to a different position and attacked from a different angle, directly releasing the weapon in Yue Huangquan's hand, ingeniously resolving Lady Shura's crisis.

  Chapter 582: Unfair Enforcement

  The moment Yue Huangquan's weapon left his hand, Lady Shura smashed her elbow into his stomach and grabbed his arm and slammed him onto the ground.

  Bang!

  The impact confused and disoriented Yue Huangquan, and before he could react, a dagger appeared in Lady Shura's hand. She showed no mercy and swept the dagger at his arm.

  "AHHH!"

  Yue Huangquan wasn't given any chance to react. Just like that, he lost an arm.
The pain caused him to wail endlessly. Although he was stronger than Lady Shura, the combination of his carelessness, the close distance between him and Lady Shura, and him not expecting Lady Shura to be so ruthless had caused him to suffer greatly.

  Xiang Shaoyun shot Lady Shura a praising look before shifting his gaze back on Yi Xuan and company. They were greatly frightened. Without any hesitation, they started fleeing the villa. Their confidence had been completely destroyed. They had no courage to stand up against Xiang Shaoyun.

  "Like I said, all of you have to leave behind an arm each today," said Xiang Shaoyun as he flew forward at a rapid speed.

  Overlord's Nine Nether Steps!

  Moving like the wind!

  He stirred the power of wind in his body and displayed a perfect moving like the wind stage of the footwork intent to move at a speed comparable to a fourth-stage Emperor. If it wasn't for the heavy armor he wore, he could move even faster.

  Xiang Shaoyun had his attention on Yi Xuan, who was both the fastest among the intruders and one of the culprits for what had happened. Thus, he couldn't be spared.

  In the blink of an eye, Xiang Shaoyun caught up with Yi Xuan. The Overlord Skyslaying Saber appeared in his hand as he swept the saber forward. The saber streaked through the air, and next, Yi Xuan's wail rang out. One of his arms had been sliced off.

  Done with Yi Xuan, Xiang Shaoyun roared at the others, "Stop right where you are!"

  The shout was powered by the Tiger's Roar ability, and it instantly spread toward the escaping intruders. On top of that, Xiang Shaoyun's filthless soul also started exuding an intense pressure, the combination of the two instantly rooting the intruders to the ground.

  Swoosh! Swoosh!

  Xiang Shaoyun's body flickered about as he swung his saber several times, sending several saber energies flying toward different directions. His mastery over human saber unity, the first stage of saber intent, had basically reached perfection. None of his targets were able to avoid his attack, and several arms flew up into the air.
