384: Chapter 384 The Eternal Night Venerable

[Although the Young Master in fine clothes was restrained, he roared angrily:]

["You... you brat!"]

["Do you f*cking know who I am?"]

["Let go of me right now!"]

["Otherwise, when my Old Ancestor arrives, he will definitely... extract your soul and refine your spirit, making you wish you were dead!"]

[This Young Master in fine clothes was named Gu Han.]

[The "Old Ancestor" he spoke of was none other than Venerable Yong Ye, who presided over this Yongye Star; he was a genuine Mahayana Cultivator!]

[Because Yongye Star was located at the border of the Immortals and Demons, the situation was complex and dangerous, requiring such a powerhouse to guard it.]

[Hearing this, Yun Xiaozi increased the force under his foot, and the "creak" of the other's skull could almost be heard.]

[His small face was full of disdain, head held high, his voice crisp and sharp: "You still dare to threaten this Young Master?"]

["With your behavior, I'll definitely skin you alive today!"]

[As he spoke, a streak of crimson-gold spiritual light gathered in his small, free hand, and he was truly about to take action.]

["Xiao'er, stop!" Venerable Cang Xuan walked out slowly, his brows furrowed and his expression serious.]

[Yun Xiaozi paused, turned his head, his face full of reluctance: "Old man! You're going to meddle again?!"]

["The injustices in this world are as numerous as the hairs on an ox; can you manage them all?" Venerable Cang Xuan's voice was calm.]

["Just because I can't manage them all means I shouldn't manage any?!" Yun Xiaozi's small face flushed red as he pointed at the corpses of the grandmother and grandson on the ground, his voice suddenly rising, "This scoundrel tried to kidnap a female Cultivator in broad daylight. When she refused, he dared to kill her!"]

["That old grandmother tried to protect her granddaughter and was also killed by his palm strike!"]

["In broad daylight... er, this broken place doesn't have daylight anyway... regardless, doing such evil deeds in front of everyone, shouldn't he die?!"]

[The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but grind his foot again, causing Gu Han to let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.]

[Venerable Cang Xuan looked at the innocently killed Loose Cultivator grandmother and grandson on the ground, and a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes:]

["Whether he should die or not is for the rules of this city and the cycle of the Heavenly Dao to decide."]

[He paused, his gaze sweeping over the growing crowd of people with various expressions, and lowered his voice slightly:]

["Besides, we are only guests here. A guest should follow the host's convenience. How can we take it upon ourselves to kill someone on the host's territory?"]

[Venerable Cang Xuan had no choice; after all, most Mahayana Cultivators knew each other, and this was Venerable Yong Ye's territory.]

[Think about it from another perspective: what if someone else were to kill an Academy Disciple at the Academy?]

[This was clearly a slap in the face.]

[Furthermore, this Yongye Star was not only special but also had a Mahayana Cultivator presiding over it.]

["Hmph, old man, stop using these broken excuses to fool me!" Yun Xiaozi's small face was full of stubbornness, the force under his foot did not diminish, and his voice was exceptionally clear:]

["You old fellows worry about this and weigh that, not daring to manage this or touch that."]

["Fine!"]

["From now on, I will manage the things you don't dare to! I will kill the people you don't dare to kill!"]

[He spoke these words with great force, carrying the sharp edge of a newborn calf that does not fear the tiger.]

["That's right! This little friend said it well!"]

[In the crowd, a voice with a hint of incitement suddenly rang out.]

[You looked toward the source of the sound; the speaker was a middle-aged man in ordinary Loose Cultivator clothes standing in the front row of the crowd.]

[He looked ordinary, and his aura was well-concealed, but your Divine Sense keenly sensed—]

[This person was actually a Spirit Transformation Cultivator!]

[The words of this Spirit Transformation Cultivator instantly ignited the emotions of many onlookers.]

["Yes! This little Fellow Daoist is doing the right thing!"]

["He should be killed! Kidnapping and murdering in broad daylight, is there no justice? Is there no law?"]

["He should be killed!"]

["Kill him!"]

["Kill him!"]

[The shouts went from sporadic to dense; many people flushed and waved their fists, shouting along.]

[There were those truly indignant, and those who feared the world was not in chaos, taking the opportunity to join the commotion.]

[After the Spirit Transformation Cultivator finished shouting, his gaze seemingly inadvertently swept over Yun Xiaozi, then he lowered his head and shrank back into the crowd, as if he wasn't the one who had spoken.]

[Hearing the louder and louder shouts of "should be killed" around him, Yun Xiaozi felt a surge of hot heroism rush to his head.]

[The "fire of justice" in his heart, which had been repeatedly suppressed by his Master, was now burning fiercely.]

[He lowered his head and glared coldly at the face twisted with fear and anger beneath his foot, no longer hesitating in the slightest.]

["Go to hell, scum!"]

[His childish voice carried a cold killing intent. He raised his small hand, which was gathered with crimson-gold spiritual light, and slammed it down hard onto Gu Han's crown!]

["Bang—!!!"]

[A muffled sound, not earth-shattering, yet it caused all the noisy shouting and discussion to instantly stop.]

[Gu Han's body, like a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer, exploded!]

[Flesh, bone fragments, intestines, and internal organs mixed with viscous liquid splattered outward in a radial pattern.]

[In the air, the thick smell of blood suddenly became several times heavier.]

[All around, there was a deathly silence.]

[Everyone widened their eyes, looking in disbelief at the pile of minced meat still slightly twitching, and then at the small figure standing in the center of the pool of blood with an unchanged expression.]

[Really... killed?]

[In this Eternal Night Immortal City, a descendant of the Gu Family was... just like that... patted into minced meat in the street?]

[This was something that had never happened before!]

[The Gu Family had operated here for tens of thousands of years, with towering power; even if their descendants were arrogant, no one had ever dared to strike such a deadly blow!]

[This was not just killing; it was the most blatant provocation and trampling of the Gu Family's and Venerable Yong Ye's authority!]

[After a brief dead silence, a deeper chill crept up everyone's spine.]

[They truly didn't expect this child would actually dare to kill a descendant of the Gu Family.]

[Immediately after, they suddenly realized—they were the witnesses and instigators of this public execution of a Gu Family descendant!]

[With the Gu Family's style, when the time came to settle accounts, those of them who had joined the commotion would likely not escape either!]

[Panic spread silently through the crowd like a plague.]

[Just then—]

["How bold!!!"]

[A roar, like a clap of thunder, resounded over the entire Eternal Night Immortal City!]

[The terrifying pressure contained in the voice made the Divine Souls of all the Cultivators below tremble; those with lower cultivation levels felt their legs go weak and knelt directly on the ground.]

[A figure, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night, suddenly appeared in mid-air.]

[The newcomer wore a black robe, his face cold as if carved by a knife, and his body exuded a vast aura that caused the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to fall into chaos and submit.]

[He was the Mahayana Cultivator presiding over Yongye Star—Venerable Yong Ye!]
