Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 834

Chapter 834: When Someone Stands Up To You, You Find It Unpleasant?

"Get rid of her first; sharing the same air with this woman suffocates my heart," one of the women in the group declared, her icy composure momentarily thawed at the mention of the prince. "We need to finish our task swiftly and deliver the items to our lord; there’s no reason to risk angering him."

Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes flared with outrage. It wasn’t merely the slights directed at her that stung; it was their complete disregard for her master’s significance, treating his life as though it were merely a commodity to be carted off.

What made her blood boil was the undeniable connection they shared, her striking white hair and the hue of her eyes mirrored in theirs, a testament to their shared bloodline.

Around her, Shenlian Yinzhu and Shenlian Sheshan joined forces with a group of allies, confronting the twenty figures poised to attack. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily, stifling the breath of even the mightiest among them.

As before, their cloaks billowed like shadows, masks concealing their true forms. Thus, the disdain and murderous intent masked on Shenlian Yinzhu’s and Shenlian Sheshan’s faces went unseen.

Shenlian Yinzhu remained detached. To him, his true family was limited to his father, sister, and uncle. The others were mere strangers, their faces lost to memory.

In stark contrast, Shenlian Sheshan felt rage boiling within him. Having spent an indeterminate time in the secret realm of Congzhu, he was unprepared for the shamelessness exhibited by the younger generation of his clan, a group that displayed such viciousness at such a young age.

These individuals were not the youngest members of the clan; their ages spanned from twenty-two to fifty, still considered youth in the Upper Worlds, yet they possessed an unusual level of maturity beyond their years.

Each possessed cultivation levels that surpassed the Golden Immortal stage, granting them an extended lifespan and an ageless appearance, embodied in their heroic visages. They had established their foundations at a young age. Yet here they stood, ungratefully challenging their kin.

The twenty faces twisted in collective discomfort as they unearthed a troubling realization: they had underestimated the origins of this unexpected faction. Who among the ordinary dared to breach the Demon Realm so carelessly? They exchanged secret messages, scrutinizing Jun Mu Yang and the reactions of their assorted companions.

"Disciple, what brings you here?" Xiong Zi Ying’s pupils narrowed as he instinctively averted his gaze, unwilling to meet the disgust he anticipated in her eyes. His current state resembled a grotesque fusion of human and beast, not the revered Great Ancestor of the Divine Kunlun Sect he once was.

"Master, save your questions," she urged, pressing a healing pill, which she had painstakingly crafted, into his mouth, refusing to allow him the dignity of refusal.

"Are you deaf? Don’t assume your mysterious act will frighten us off. Mind your business; we have no intention of alerting the Demon Emperor to the fact that you humans dare to trespass here," one of them threatened loudly, reopening the drama of threats.

"It seems your Shenlian Clan is rather fond of intimidation tactics. Why not inform the Demon Emperor and let’s see who he takes down first, a group of unknowns wreaking havoc in his territory, or me, a ’weak’ woman posing no threat to him?" she replied. The smile on her lips was cool and unfriendly, mirroring the wicked delight she had observed on Xiao Li’s face during his darker confrontations.

The members of the Shenlian clan stood in shock, disbelief etched on their faces. Here was a woman they deemed weak, yet she dared to confront them with such audacity. When had they ever experienced such insolence?

"What? You’re accustomed to instilling fear in others, and now that someone stands up to you, you find it unpleasant?" She continued to speak, commanding the space with an undeniable authority as she unleashed her pressure upon them.
