Chapter 3236 Lesser Fullness (I've offended them terribly)
Hu Xiaoman called out to Yang Rui and Hua Nian, "Fourth Senior Brother, Xiao Nian, come up here quickly!"
The wind carried her voice through the clouds, and Yang Rui immediately gripped Hua Nian's small hand, suppressing a cough in his throat as he sped towards the three golden crows, riding the stream of light.
The two of them had this intention earlier, but it was delayed by the Fifth Junior Sister's interruption.
The two did not hesitate for a moment.
The cultivators of the Ghost Clan finally came to their senses and drew their swords to stop them, but were frozen in place by Hu Xiaoman's sudden gaze.
His eyes were as cold as an icy blade as he said, each word distinct and deliberate: "If you dare take even half a step forward, I'll strangle him!"
Hu Xiaoman grabbed Mei Qianxiao by the neck and pushed him forward.
Before the words were even finished, everyone took several steps back in unison, their faces full of fear.
Young Master Mei is the family's precious treasure; we can't afford to see him suffer even the slightest loss!
But these people dared to beat the young master into this state. We must not let this matter rest!
Ning Shuang helped Hua Nian leap onto the back of the three golden crows, with Yang Rui following closely behind.
Zhou Wenlun lightly touched the ground with his toes, his figure floating like a willow catkin to Hu Xiaoman's side, his face still bearing that gentle and just-right smile, as if the pursuers behind him were nothing more than ordinary scenery.
The Ghost Ancestor stared at the three golden crows streaking across the sky, his eyes burning with fury.
He was the pillar of the Ghost Clan, dominating the border cities of the Ghost Realm for hundreds of years. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"All Ghost Clan members, follow me!" he roared, his voice echoing across the land. "And bring out those three old fogies who are in seclusion too!"
The Ghost Clan has always been arrogant and domineering in the Ghost Realm Border City, but today they have been humiliated by a few young brats. They will not be satisfied until they are torn to pieces!
At his command, countless beams of light shot into the sky from within the city.
Golden Core cultivators rode on their Spirit Light Umbrellas, Nascent Soul elders rode on their Xuan Iron Flying Boats, and even the Nascent Soul stage ancestors unleashed their natal magic treasures. Black demonic energy intertwined with various colored spiritual lights, and they surged forward in pursuit of the three-headed golden crows.
Its overwhelming power caused the city below to tremble.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the Ghost Realm Border City, causing an uproar among the people:
Someone actually dared to provoke the Ghost Clan, and even the Ghost Ancestor couldn't save his precious grandson?
How could we miss such a wonderful event!
In an instant, cultivators from various families, along with their relatives and friends, followed the pursuers in their flying magical artifacts.
The fire of the Eight Trigrams burned fiercely, even more enthusiastically than that of the Ghost Clan.
Inside the Ning family's council hall, the imposing and dignified head of the Ning family was listening to his subordinates' reports.
Upon hearing the news that Mei Qianxiao had been poisoned and that the Ghost Ancestor was furious, he slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, "Good! Well done!"
He stroked his beard, his eyes full of satisfaction. "I've long disliked that Mei Qianxiao. She's been acting arrogantly and domineeringly because she has the backing of the Ghost Ancestor."
"Finally, someone has managed to subdue him!"
The Ning family and the Guimei family were already bitter enemies because of Ningxue and Meiqianxiao's marriage.
The Ning family head had long been fed up with Mei Qianxiao's usual disrespect towards Ningxue.
An elder with white hair stroked his beard and laughed, "These people must be quite extraordinary to have made the Ghost Ancestor suffer such a setback."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a subordinate rushed in, his voice trembling: "Master, something terrible has happened!"
"Second Miss... it seems that the Second Miss is friends with those people, and she is currently with them on the Three-Headed Golden Crow!"
The smile on the Ning family head's face froze instantly. He jumped up from his seat and roared, "What?!"
"Has Ning Shuang gone mad? How dare she get mixed up with them!"
His heart skipped a beat, and his scalp tingled.
Disliking Mei Qianxiao is one thing, but letting the Ning family confront the Guimei family head-on is another!
Even their own ancestor was defeated by the Ghostly Ancestor back then, and the gap between the disciples of this generation is even greater.
"quick!"
With a wave of his sleeve, the Ning family head said urgently, "Summon all disciples and elders above the Golden Core stage and come with me to the Blood Demon Cave!"
Even though Ning Shuang is seen as a useless second young lady by everyone, she is still his precious daughter whom he cherishes.
We must not allow the ghost clan to harm her in the slightest.
Meanwhile, the Lei and Feng families also took action upon hearing the news.
The head of the Lei family was a burly man with a fiery temper. Upon hearing that there was a show to watch, he immediately waved his hand and led the family's elites in a lightning-fast flying boat with thunder patterns, rushing towards the Blood Demon Cave.
The head of the Feng family was a man with a delicate appearance and a meticulous mind. He felt that there was more to the story than met the eye, so he quietly followed behind with his Feng family disciples to observe the situation.
In an instant, the sky above the Ghost Realm Border City was filled with swirling clouds and countless streaks of light intertwined into a net, rushing mightily towards the Blood Demon Cave.
……
The three golden crows carried Hu Xiaoman and his group, drawing a dazzling golden arc across the sky at an astonishing speed.
Its outstretched wings, bathed in sunlight, resembled burning flames. Each flap stirred up a powerful airflow, leaving a long white trail behind it, like a silver ribbon slicing through the sky.
Hu Xiaoman sat cross-legged on the broad back of the golden crow, the fierce wind whipping her bright red clothes, making them flutter loudly.
She gazed calmly at the mountains and rivers rushing past below, but dared not relax for a moment.
Half of her consciousness sank into Man Zhou Shi Kong, and she swiftly wielded the talisman brush in her hand.
One after another, talismans imbued with spiritual power took shape at the tip of the brush, shimmering with a faint golden light;
Little Peach had already woken up, and the ice shards on her body had disappeared without a trace. At this moment, she was squatting not far from Hu Xiaoman, her little hands skillfully arranging various array flags, and she was hurriedly setting up a defensive array.
Ning Shuang sat down next to Hu Xiaoman, glanced back at the densely packed pursuers behind them, who looked like dark clouds pressing down on them, and couldn't help but shrink back.
She whispered to Yang Rui on the other side, "Fourth Senior Brother, we've really offended the Ghostly Clan this time."
"That Ghost Ancestor is notoriously protective of his own, and his strength is unfathomable. He has probably reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or even the half-step Tribulation Transcending stage!"
Yang Rui coughed lightly a few times, his gaze falling on the composed Zhou Wenlun, and reassured her, "Fifth Junior Sister, don't worry, with Young Master Zhou here, we'll be fine."
Ning Shuang still had a sour look on her face, and said with a drooping mouth, "You will leave Ghost Domain Border City after you rescue Master, but it's different for me!"
“My home is here. Even if I leave with you temporarily, I will come back sooner or later.”
Yang Rui glanced at his fearless fifth junior sister and teased, "Fifth junior sister, you're the second young lady of the Ning family, do you think you're afraid the Ghostly Clan will kill you?"
"I won't kill you,"
"If they kill me, our Ning family will fight them to the death!"
She knew that she was a good-for-nothing in other people's eyes, but her ancestors and father always doted on her.
My father once said that even if she was a good-for-nothing in her life, he would support her for the rest of her life.
