Bloody Kyoto

Chapter 82 Six Finger Mountain, Zheng Jiaojiao's Base Camp

Ever since learning that the Yun family's territory had been destroyed, Xiang Yicong has been eager to eliminate the otherworldly beings.

He was confident that the Xiang family could win a direct confrontation with the otherworldly beings, but if they couldn't find the otherworldly beings, it would all be empty talk.

Rather than making a deal with the emperor, he decided to find an ally, and that was the Yun family.

He is currently unsure whether the otherworldly beings are aware of what the Xiang family did in the Huo Yunxia incident.

If you don't know, then you naturally shouldn't reveal it.

So he secretly visited the Yun family in the middle of the night.

As soon as they flew into the Yun family mansion, they were met with force by Ami Ajue.

Instead of revealing his identity and purpose, Xiang Yicong had a good fight with the two men.

In the end, Amitabha and Ajue were defeated.

After the fight, two people emerged from the shadows: Ancestor Yun and the head of the Yun family.

Ancestor Yun glanced at Xiang Yicong and left, while Patriarch Yun gestured for him to follow.

After sitting down inside, Xiang Yicong looked at the Yun family head in front of him and felt a little uneasy.

His appearance at that moment was simply too gloomy.

"The Xiang family head's late-night visit couldn't just be to see me, could it?"

Xiang Yicong withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, clasped his hands in a fist and fist salute, "Patriarch Yun, please forgive me, it was my rudeness."

"Tell me! What's the matter!"

Xiang Yicong organized his thoughts and said, "Patriarch Yun should know what my Xiang family did in the Huo Yunxia incident. We are probably already on the revenge list of the otherworldly beings."

He paused for a moment, and seeing that the other party did not intend to speak, he directly stated his purpose: "I wish to cooperate with Patriarch Yun."

Yun Ze scoffed, his disdainful gaze sweeping over Xiang Yicong. "Patriarch Xiang, your Xiang family has nothing but martial prowess. And speaking of martial prowess, I am far superior."

Therefore, in the eyes of our patriarch, your Xiang family has no merit whatsoever for cooperation.

Xiang Yicong felt a surge of anger, but quickly suppressed it. He noticed one of his remarks and found it strange.

This means: Our family head is stronger.

I have indeed heard that he fought a duel with the head of the Yu family, and the head of the Yu family was eventually sliced into pieces.

When he heard about it, he didn't think he was that strong. After all, the head of the Yu family was just a corpse controller and didn't have much skill in martial arts.

Killing someone like that isn't actually that difficult.

As for being sliced into pieces, it only shows that the Yun family head is ruthless, and has nothing to do with being powerful.

Now that he says he's stronger than him, I just can't believe it.

Thinking it over, he asked, "Is Patriarch Yun proficient in martial arts?"

Yunze chuckled softly, then burst into laughter, before stopping. With a flick of his sleeve, several things that Xiang Yicong couldn't make out who they were whizzed past him.

Then I saw that the tightly closed study door had been reduced to a palm-sized fragment with a clean cut.

He was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He could shatter the door in an instant; he could do that too, even with a sword, he could shatter the door into pieces.

However, without any weapons, it would be impossible to do so in that instant, especially to make a clean cut.

Hmm, an incision?

No, although he couldn't tell what he emitted just now, he was certain that it was not any kind of hidden weapon; it seemed more like an invisible and intangible gas.

He slowly turned his head to look at Yun Ze, who was looking at him mockingly, "Patriarch Yun, what weapon are you using?"

"Weapons?" Yun Ze's lips curled slightly. "Patriarch Xiang, what do you think of the otherworldly beings' ability to control vines?"

Xiang Yicong felt a boom in his head. He realized that what he was using was not martial arts at all, but an ability that only people from other worlds possess.

"You, you're also from another world?" His voice trembled, his muscles tensed, and he was ready to flee at any moment.

Yunze rested his chin on his hand on the table and slowly uttered, "Does Patriarch Xiang not know that the abilities of people from other worlds can be stolen?"

"It's like Huo Yunxia's abilities were taken away."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yicong understood that his abilities had been seized.

But whose possession is it really taking?

He let out a heavy sigh of relief, knowing that his trip today had been in vain; the Yun family indeed did not need to cooperate with the Xiang family.

Thinking about it, he prepared to say goodbye, but before he could speak, Yunze spoke first.

“If your Xiang family is willing to act as bait, we can still cooperate.”

Xiang Yicong clenched his fists tightly. "What do you mean by that, Patriarch Yun?"

"The meaning is very simple: you do or say something that will anger the otherworldly beings and provoke them to take action. The head of the family will be responsible for capturing them."

Xiang Yicong was almost laughing in anger, but he held back. "If Patriarch Yun needs bait, he should have plenty!"

"For example, why would the Fu family, the Grand Princess, or even the Emperor specifically choose our Xiang family as bait?"

Yunze: "Naturally, it's because they have some connections with the head of the family, so it's not appropriate to use them as bait."

This statement is both true and false; the only family they have a real relationship with is the Fu family, and it's only because of Zheng Jiaojiao.

As for the royal family, he didn't want to deal with them for the time being, because Old Ancestor Han was in the palace.

He had heard about the relationship between Old Master Han and the Zhu family, and it could be said that they had a very deep friendship.

Although he believed his wind element was very powerful, the strength of Patriarch Han was a mystery, so he dared not act rashly.

Xiang Yicong could no longer hold back and was genuinely amused by his anger. "This is too much of a bullying of the Xiang family by the Xiang family head!"

"Even if our two families don't have much of a relationship, as reclusive families, there must still be some tacit understanding between us!"

Yun Ze let out a low laugh, "A tacit agreement? Looking at the Yun family now, Patriarch Xiang, can they still be considered a reclusive family?"

A clan is formed when many people of the same surname and bloodline gather together.

The Yun family now consists of only the three of them; they can hardly be considered a clan anymore.

Xiang Yicong was speechless.

Finally, he left the Yun family with only the words, "I will consider it when I get back."

Liuzhi Mountain is located within the territory of Chen Kingdom. Its shape resembles a human hand, except with an extra finger, hence the name Liuzhi Mountain.

This mountain is not as flat and lush as Tree Skull Mountain; on the contrary, it is very steep and barren.

Only the valleys between the mountain peaks have greenery.

Because of the steepness of the mountain, reaching the canyon is very difficult, and only experts can make it up.

Therefore, nearby residents cannot go up at all.

This makes the mountain seem especially mysterious.

After leaving the capital, Zheng Jiaojiao lived in this mountain.

This is her base camp, and the place she knows best.

Inside the Thumb Mountain, there are many passageways, brightly lit, but no one is seen walking.

Only mournful screams could be heard.

"Out-of-world person, I will definitely kill you!"

"Kill you!"

Fu Yanji, who was in a room, heard the voice and a pleased smile appeared on his face.
