âIt is rumored that the number one beauty of the three big golden clans, who is already over 50, is stillâŠâ
Fat Xue hadnât even finished speaking, when he suddenly felt a power bind his body. Although he was a second-grade martial master, which meant that he wasnât weak by any means, he still couldnât budge.
He felt as if some sort of formless binds were crushing him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Although Ling Yubing and Chu Yuan were startled to see Fat Xue being restricted by this formless pressure, the two of them decided not to speak up.
The telekinetic abilities of a telekinesis master might not be very effective on someone of the same rank, but they were effective against people of a lower rank.
Fat Xue was currently being crushed beyond any doubt.
Teacher Xie, who had naturally sensed this change, turned to glance at Fat Xue, who looked as though he was trapped in a ball as he made threatening gestures. Teacher Xie didnât say a word. He just pretended he hadnât seen a thing and minded his own business.
This plain fellow deserves some punishment.
About half an hour later, Fat Xueâs punishment was over. When Luo Yunyang retracted his mind power, Fat Xue scurried back to his seat and kept his mouth shut.
When they returned to the 13 Eastern Cities, Luo Yunyang and the others received a very warm welcome. However, what made Luo Yunyang really displeased was that the majority of the people welcoming him were women, perhaps due to the news that had spread from the West.
When Fat Xue saw this, he really wanted to remark on his friendâs popularity among girls. However, when he recalled the punishment Luo Yunyang had inflicted on him, he shut his mouth tactfully.
Luo Yunyang was resting quietly in a hotel in Shenâdu, when his communication device started ringing.
âBoss Luo, help!â The message was only three words long, but the sender was Xiong Ben.
Xiong Ben was an outspoken man from the Royal Forest Military. Some time ago, he and Luo Yunyang had crashed their way through Zu Longâs tomb, so he could be considered a fan of Luo Yunyangâs who got along with him really well.
Isnât he from the Royal Forest Military?
âââ
Although Shenâdu was quiet that night, splendid lights were still glowing brightly in the distance, where countless residents were celebrating Luo Yunyang and the other martialistsâ success. Meanwhile, Xiong Ben was lying in a shrubbery.
On his back was a small 12-year-old girl, who was lying on him weakly. The little girlâs face was pale, but although there was pain and discomfort written all over it, the girl still didnât make a sound.
âItâs alright. Let me know if you feel uncomfortable.â The normally carefree Xiong Ben showed a hint of tenderness.
âIâm alright, Uncle Xiong,â the little girl said softly.
âHe he⊠You arenât a Royal Forest crack trooper for no reason, Xiong Ben. You actually managed to escape our numerous tries to kill you.â A black-clothed man with a cold voice appeared mysteriously, stepping in front of a large rock.
Xiong Benâs expression became grave when he saw the man. âQin Tieshou!â
âYou hurt the Koi Guard brothers, yet you still want to run?â Qin Tieshou glared at Xiong Ben as he spoke in an icy tone.
âYes, the Koi Guard is so great!â Xiong Benâs tone was full of fury. âYou people wouldnât even let a little girl live, youâŠâ
âWe canât let this little girl live. Her father betrayed the 13 Eastern Cities. Who knows how much trouble heâs caused us? You must be aware of the value of that item.â
Although Xiong Ben knew that the little girlâs father had already been branded as a criminal, when he heard Qin Tieshouâs words, he felt like his chest was about to explode.
âYou are no fool, Qin Tieshou. Donât tell me that you canât see that this is all a part of a plan? Donât tell me that you donât know who is pulling the strings?â
âDonât get carried away, Xiong Ben. This is just wishful thinking. This matter has already been settled. He will not be able to change anything.â Qin Tieshou pointed his finger at the little girl. âEven though her father is dead, he is still a traitor in other peopleâs eyes! You will become the accomplice of a traitor! People like you are criminals that conspire against the Da Alliance!â
Xiong Benâs spirits dropped to an all-time low. As a military man, Xiong Ben wasnât afraid of death. When he thought that he had actually become a traitor though, he felt extremely indignant.
The word traitor was something Xiong Ben had never imagined would be associated with him. However, the current situation made him sense that there was an extremely high possibility that he would be branded as one.
Qin Tieshou was one of the 10 senior colonels of the Koi Guard, so his words were simplyâŠ
I canât die! Whatever happens, I mustnât die!
Xiong Ben couldnât help but recall a propaganda poster he had seen and the message he had sent out.
The State Scholars had helped the 13 Eastern Cities win a crucial victory. All of this seemed very distant to Xiong Ben, though. All a person like him could do was watch those people from a distance.
Will he come?
âYou are helpless now, Xiong Ben. No one will come and save you. The least I can do is leave your corpse intact!â Qin Tieshouâs voice was chilly.
âWhy wonât anyone come and save him?â Just as Xiong Ben raised his last remaining weapon, which was a short dagger, he suddenly heard a faint voice.
Pure ecstacy dawned on Xiong Benâs face when he heard this familiar voice.
Qin Tieshou snorted. âSir, the Koi Guard is currently apprehending two traitors. It is best that you donât interfere, orâŠâ
âOr what?â Luo Yunyang asked cooly, standing 10 meters away.
Qin Tieshouâs expression became ugly. He had already recognized who Luo Yunyang was. As one of the 10 senior colonels of the Koi Guard, his words usually carried a lot of weight.
However, the man he was facing was no ordinary person.
He was the Rising Dragon Armyâs Ninth Honorary Delegate, an Unparalleled State Scholar, and, based on the information he had just received, he had recently killed a martial grandmaster.
This incident touched upon an unwritten arrangement between the 17 Western Cities and the 13 Eastern Cities, which was why the 17 Western Cities had remained silent on this matter despite suffering a huge loss.
Why is he here?
Shouldnât he be attending a banquet and getting praised and complimented by countless people?
âGreetings, State Scholar Luo.â Qin Tieshou took a deep breath before he walked over to Luo Yunyang quickly and said seriously, âThe Koi Guard is acting on orders. Our superiors have ordered us to handle this case. Please do not make things difficult for us. Otherwise, it will be difficult to report this to the Viceroy!â
âKneel!â Luo Yunyang spat out icily. Qin Tieshouâs expression turned really ugly.
Although he felt that the disparity between him and Luo Yunyang was very big, he had to save his dignity.
How could he not be angry? Luo Yunyang had asked him to kneel as soon as he had arrived. Just as he was about to show him his unyielding spirit, he felt a wave of pressure crush down on his body.
He simply had no way of resisting this force, so he knelt down on the ground right away.
Luo Yunyang was a telekinesis master!
Qin Tieshou suddenly remembered Luo Yunyangâs other identity. He was a telekinesis master who had used the Mindstorm to defeat Alice.
âI never thought that you would really come, Boss Luo!â Xiong Ben was unable to keep his emotions in check anymore.
Luo Yunyang flashed a smile at him before he appeared in front of him in a flash. Before Xiong Ben could react, Luo Yunyangâs fists had smashed hard into his body.
Xiong Benâs huge body was immediately sent flying away and the little girl in his arms landed in Luo Yunyangâs hands.
âYou are a bad person. Why did you hit Uncle Xiong, youâŠâ Although the little girl was crying, she was unable to move.
When she fell into his arms, Luo Yunyangâs face darkened. He could sense that the little girl had many broken bones. Actually, the tendons in her arms and legs had all snapped.
This was even worse than dying.
âHa ha ha⊠Thank you, Boss Luo! Your punch made me recover quite a bit. Damn, I wonder how many people in the Da Alliance would like to receive a beating from you!â
Xiong Ben got to his feet and ran over to Luo Yunyang quickly. He felt much more vigorous and spirited as he stood next to him.
âWho is she?â Luo Yunyangâs expression was chilly. He had a vague idea about the identity of this girl, but he still seeked a confirmation.
Xiong Benâs smile disappeared completely. He fell silent for a bit before he said, âHer name is Xiaoyu. She is Old Liuâs daughter. When I ran into her on the streets, she had already been beaten up.â
Luo Yunyang glared at Qin Tieshou. His dense killing intent made Qin Tieshou feel as if he was about to explode.
âThis girlâs father is a traitor. We were doing our job. You canât just listen to one side of the story!â Qin Tieshou gesticulated frantically as he tried to explain. Before he was done, his body was already sent smashing into a huge tree in the distance.
The tree snapped and Qin Tieshou was left in a daze from the collision.
âWhere is Nie Xin?â Luo Yunyang asked indifferently.
Qin Tieshouâs heart shuddered violently. When Luo Yunyang spat out that name, he realized right away that he already knew the whole story.
âI⊠IâŠâ
âYou only get two chances. You just wasted one. You must know that I donât really need much of a reason to kill you.â Luo Yunyangâs hands were behind his back as he carried the little girl, and his voice was as calm as ever, yet the killing intent in it couldnât be hidden.
What would happen if he got killed by a martial grandmaster? Qin Tieshou didnât dare think about it. Someone like Luo Yunyang, whose future was limitless, could kill a martial grandmaster. However, the people behind him wouldnât dare make Luo Yunyang pay with his life.
Worst-case scenario, he would just be tasked to complete some kind of mission as punishment.
âNie Xin is currently at your celebratory banquet!â As soon as Qin Tieshou said this, he felt like he was about to collapse.

This feeling was partly caused by fear and partly by the pressure on his body, which was dissipating. He suddenly felt as if his entire body had gone soft.
âTrash!â The instant this word entered Qin Tieshouâs mind, he felt as though a violent storm had been brewing in his mind. Something similar to a tornado that completely disintegrated his every thought into fragments.
âLetâs go!â Luo Yunyang, who was carrying Liu Xiaoyu, took the lead and walked forward.
Xiong Ben glanced at the imbecile-like Qin Tieshou and scratched his head before catching up with Luo Yunyang. He suddenly seemed to think of something. âBoss Luo, donât tell me you areâŠâ he blurted out.
Luo Yunyang didnât say anything. He just strode forward without looking back!
