Chapter 706: Three more on the enemy list

Mu Ting, standing beside Yue Moli, pursed her lips slightly, thinking to herself that the eldest daughter of the Yun family had a straightforward personality, lacked guile, and couldn't keep a secret. If she were to learn the truth, she would likely be unable to restrain herself from going to settle scores with the fake at the Yun family immediately.

The reason her Lady said this was also to ensure the safety of Young Master Mufeng.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that brat for now. Do you know that the sissy has returned?" Yun Shuying changed the subject.

"Hmm," Yue Moli responded.

"Sister-in-law, I have something I need your help with." Yun Shuying licked her lips. "Write a challenge letter for me; I want to challenge him to a duel!"

"For something like a duel, it's better if you go find him yourself," Yue Moli shook her head. "And I've been very busy lately; I don't have time to go find him."

"What, do you look down on me?" Yun Shuying raised her eyebrows in displeasure. "Do you think I'm not qualified to duel him?"

"I didn't say anything of the sort." Yue Moli's bright face revealed a formulaic smile. "Miss Yun, please don't misunderstand."

"Forget it, there's one more thing." Yun Shuying didn't dwell on it. "Do you know that Thorn has re-emerged in the world recently?"

"Thorn?" Yue Moli's expression changed slightly, a hint of seriousness appearing in her eyes.

Thorn was once a powerful force active on Wuji Island. At its peak, its influence even overshadowed the Wuji Martial Arts Association, and it had dealt heavy blows to the association repeatedly during their conflicts.

However, although Thorn's strength was unfathomable, its hardline style of operation had offended many forces and families.

Major forces, unwilling to let Thorn dominate alone, sent people to crusade against it, and the Azure Wolf Hall was one of them.

What followed was a long, chaotic war among the major forces. The final result was that Thorn's leader, the Emperor, went missing, and Thorn's internal momentum was greatly reduced, eventually disappearing from the dark forces and making no more noise.

"I received reliable information that the Emperor, who has been missing for many years, has returned." Yun Shuying restrained the smile on her face, her tone rarely grave.

"That Emperor?" Yue Moli was thoughtful. "I am quite interested in him."

Mu Ting, beside her, couldn't help but tremble.

That Emperor was once a figure like a hellish Asura among the dark forces. Anyone

who had dealt with him was left with deep psychological shadows.

If the Emperor were still around that year, Thorn would definitely not have exited the historical stage so rashly.

Now that the Emperor had returned, Thorn would soon become a nightmare for the major forces again.

And the first to bear the brunt of this would be the Azure Wolf Hall, which had formed a grudge with Thorn back then.

If one were to name the force with the biggest grudge against Thorn, besides the Wuji Martial Arts Association that had been at loggerheads with it, it would be the Azure Wolf Hall led by the Wolf King.

If the Emperor truly wanted to take crazy revenge, then how would Young Master Mufeng, who had just returned to the Azure Wolf Hall with an unstable foundation, cope?

Xu Tian sat in the Wolf King's office, flipping through documents with a calm and composed demeanor.

And the little girl Zhong Yu, who was also in his office, was sitting on pins and needles.

"Brother Yi..." The little girl blinked, staring at Xu Tian, wanting to speak several times but stopping.

"Speak your mind." Xu Tian glanced at her indifferently. "Or do you want to go out and play again?"

"No, how could I have the heart to play now!" Zhong Yu looked at Xu Tian resentfully. "Brother Yi, I received some news, very, very bad news!"

"What news?" Xu Tian put down the documents in his hand and looked up.

He was truly curious about news that could make this fearless little girl anxious.

"I heard that Thorn's Emperor has returned." Zhong Yu leaned toward Xu Tian mysteriously. "Brother Yi, you must remember the Emperor, right?"

"Thorn's Emperor..."

Xu Tian naturally knew of this person.

Since sneaking into the Azure Wolf Hall, he had used his authority to read quite a bit of information and now had a preliminary understanding of the various forces on Wuji Island.

He had also done his homework regarding the organization Thorn.

However, because this organization and its leader were extremely mysterious, he couldn't find much information.

Legend had it that Thorn's Emperor was a very brutal ruler and was mysterious; to this day, the world didn't even know his real name or gender, and very few people had even seen his true appearance.

There was even a legend that anyone who saw the true face of Thorn's Emperor was already dead.

This showed the level of terror this mysterious monarch inspired.

"Didn't the organization Thorn disappear long ago?" Xu Tian asked.

"Yes, I thought it had disappeared too, but with the Emperor's sudden return, they probably have nothing to fear again," Zhong Yu sighed lightly.

"So?" Xu Tian raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Yi, aren't you worried at all?" Zhong Yu said with admiration. "As expected of my brother, calm in the face of danger at a critical moment!"

Xu Tian's mouth twitched; what kind of messy vocabulary was this?

"Brother Yi, you haven't forgotten that our Azure Wolf Hall was the vanguard in the siege of Thorn, right? If Thorn's Emperor were to pick the person he hates the most, you would definitely be in first place."

Xu Tian:...

He didn't want such an honor.

He had indeed found in the documents that many forces participated in the siege of Thorn back then, but he didn't expect the Wolf King to be among them, and even at the very front line.

Ever since he impersonated the Wolf King and returned to the Azure Wolf Hall, his understanding was being refreshed every day.

From the sissy who had no equal in the world to the tyrant of the dark forces, how many untouchable forces had that brat provoked?

"Forget about Thorn or Rose, anyway, my Brother Yi is definitely not afraid. Let alone a dark organization, even the three great families on Wuji Island and the richest man, the Lu family, you don't take them seriously..."

"Wait..." Xu Tian interrupted her. "You said the three great families..."

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yu scratched her head. "You haven't forgotten about sending people to fight for territory with the three great families before, have you?"

"I haven't forgotten..." Xu Tian's expression was somewhat complex.

Very well, three more on the enemy list.

"And fighting for business with the Lu family, and..."

"Stop talking." Xu Tian rubbed his brow, feeling a headache. "Those small characters aren't worth my effort."

It didn't matter; none of these enemies were ones he could handle.

"I know, Brother Yi, you're just too lazy to bother with them," Zhong Yu smiled knowingly. "However, during the time you left Wuji Island, they were quite well-behaved and didn't come to cause us trouble. Those family heads still have good judgment."

Xu Tian:...

Whether they didn't want to cause trouble or they were simply too lazy to bother with the mad dog Wolf King, it was hard to say.

If he hadn't suddenly gone missing, all the forces on Wuji Island would probably have been offended by him at least once. ===== CHAPTER 707 =====

If not for his sudden disappearance, he likely would have offended every single faction on Wuji Island.
