Chapter 315: Three Feet Above the Head, There Are Gods
"Stop." Just at this moment, a thunderous shout came, and immediately after, an old man stepped out, covering over a zhang in a single stride, and quickly arrived in the center.
Hong Chenggang, one of the Six Deacons and Elders of the Qing Sect, held a very high seniority.
"And who are you? Fengling has truly changed; even a decrepit old man now has the qualifications to challenge our Yu Family?" Yu Lingxuan laughed in extreme anger. She pointed at Hong Chenggang and said, "No matter who you are, if you dare to utter another word of nonsense, I will kill your entire family."
"This old man is Hong Chenggang, one of the Six Deacons and Elders of the Qing Sect," Hong Chenggang said in a deep voice.
"Qing Sect?" Yu Lingxuan was shocked. How could she have never heard of the Qing Sect? The Qing Sect, which claimed to have one hundred thousand disciples spread across the world, ranked in the top five among the world's ten major organizations.
Its disciples included overseas Chinese and powerful tycoons, distributed extremely widely. This old man actually claimed to be one of the Six Deacons? How did this bastard Chen Yu get to know so many big shots?
"Madam Yu, I shouldn't have intervened in tonight's matter, but I owe Chen Yu a favor, so I have come forward to mediate. Both sides should stop fighting, what do you think?" Hong Chenggang said.
"What if I don't agree?" Yu Lingxuan stepped forward, attempting to overwhelm Hong Chenggang with her aura. "Chen Yu injured my beloved daughter; this grudge must be avenged."
"If you don't agree, my Qing Sect's one hundred thousand disciples will swarm out. All of the Yu Clan's domestic and overseas assets will suffer a devastating blow, and the Yu Clan will be removed from the Fengling Four Great Families from this moment on. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Elder Hong shouted in a deep voice.
"Who is he? Why do so many of you stand on his side? Why?" Yu Lingxuan was bewildered. Hong Chenggang was not bluffing; the Qing Sect completely had the strength to do this.
"I have looked into your daughter. Her 'princess syndrome' is quite severe: abusing those of the same sex, stirring up jealousy and hiring people to gang-rape her romantic rivals, and gouging out the eyes of passersby just because she didn't like the look of them while walking. She is capable of every evil. The result she faces today is what she deserves, and it is also the consequence of you, Madam Yu, spoiling her," Elder Hong shouted.
"Even if Chen Yu didn't step in to teach her a lesson today, she would have met with retribution sooner or later."
"Fine, fine, you have power, you are tough, but the grudge for my beloved daughter must be avenged. Even if it means the destruction of my Yu Family today, I will fight you to the death." Yu Lingxuan's eyes widened; she was nearly driven mad with rage.
"Big sister." Suddenly, Yu Zu's call came through.
"Little Si, bring people back immediately, I..."
"Big sister, tonight's matter cannot be forced. Take a step back," Yu Zu said in a deep voice.
"Why? My daughter has already been hurt like this, why should I concede?" Yu Lingxuan was startled.
"Because the other party has a Qing Sect Elder backing him. If we really fight, the Yu Family will surely be wiped out," Yu Zu advised. "Retreat for now. I have already contacted Mu Chengcang. Another day, we will ask Mu Chengcang to step in and issue a challenge to Chen Yu; this way, we can avoid his sharp edge."
Yu Lingxuan took a deep breath; her fourth brother's words calmed her down.
Yes, now that she was up against three parties, she had absolutely no chance of winning. Chen Yu could wipe out the Yu Family with a flick of his finger.
It would be better to swallow this anger for now and invite a master of the Martial Ancestor Realm to kill Chen Yu another day; this would avoid a lot of trouble.
But she could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought: why did a mere Chen Yu have such great energy that he could even summon the Qing Sect?
"How about it, Madam Yu, have you considered it?" Elder Hong smiled.
"Fine, fine." Yu Lingxuan's face was livid. "Since the Qing Sect has stepped in, our Yu Family will give you face, but this matter will not end so easily."
"Chen Yu injured my beloved daughter; this grudge must be avenged. Another day, the Yu Family will issue a challenge to Chen Yu, pick a place, and settle it to the death," Yu Lingxuan said indignantly. "Let's go."
"Wait." Chen Yu called her to a stop.
"You surnamed Chen, what else do you want?" Yu Lingxuan was furious. She had already conceded, yet Chen Yu still wouldn't back down.
"She kidnapped my wife and nearly caused a tragedy of two lives lost. I can spare her today, but she owes me an apology," Chen Yu said.
"Don't push your luck. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Yu Lingxuan was incensed.
"Mom, Mom, please stop talking. I'm in so much pain, I apologize, I apologize to him," Sichun cried out. She truly could not endure the pain in her body anymore.
She lowered her noble head: "Chen Yu, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to cause trouble for your wife. I was wrong. I apologize to you."
Sichun cried out. Once upon a time, she was a high-and-mighty young lady; she had never feared anything, but now, facing Chen Yu, she had to lower her head.
"Miss Yu?" Chen Yu leaned close to Sichun: "A word of advice: people act, and Heaven watches. Three feet above your head, there are gods. The people you harmed in the past will turn into vengeful spirits and come to claim your life. Take care of yourself."
A small Talisman Paper had already been stuck onto Sichun's body. With a flash of Spiritual Light, the Talisman Paper vanished into her body, yet she was completely unaware.
"Ah... Mom, I want to leave, take me away quickly, take me away from here, I'm scared..." Sichun shrieked.
Chen Yu's gaze was incomparably cold, as if from the Nine Nether Hell. She felt as if she truly saw the people who had died at her hands in the past coming to claim her life; she screamed and struggled, wanting to flee.
Unfortunately, she was now almost a cripple. She fell to the ground with a thud, crawling on the floor like a dead dog.
"It's okay, Sichun, don't be afraid. Mom is here; no one can hurt you again." Yu Lingxuan hugged her daughter, staring at Chen Yu with hatred. "She has already apologized, why are you still scaring her?"
"Is an apology useful?" Chen Yu sneered. "Your own daughter is a precious jewel, but other people's daughters are just dirt? Ask her yourself, how many girls have been ruined by her over these years?"
"Yu Lingxuan, you think you are loving her? You are destroying her. You had better look out for yourselves," Chen Yu sneered.
Yu Lingxuan said nothing; the hatred in her eyes grew deeper. At this moment, an ambulance arrived, a gurney was pushed in, and a group of doctors and nurses scrambled to carry Sichun away.
After the Yu mother and daughter left, the number of people at the scene immediately dropped by more than half. Fourth Master Huang sighed and said: "Mr. Chen, I'm afraid she won't let this go easily. Next time, if she finds a master to challenge you to a duel, we might not be able to intervene."
"I can have Kaicheng contact someone, and we can also send a master to hold the fort here." Lin Wenfu thought for a moment, then shook his head: "But it will be difficult to invite a master of the Martial Ancestor Realm."
"Thank you, everyone." Chen Yu bowed slightly to the people at the scene: "If he challenges me again next time, I will handle it myself. Chen Yu will keep the kindness you have shown this time in his heart."
"You are too polite, Little Chen. I owe you my life; it is only right that I stand up for you," Hong Chenggang smiled and said. "But the Yu Family is powerful, and Yu Zu's Blood Guard has yet to appear behind the scenes. It is not appropriate to start a major conflict today."
