Chapter 1513: Yes, I'm Here To Kick Up A Fuss
The Yu Clan's inner courtyard was protected by a god-grade formation. Any intruder would be killed by the formation. Thus, an attack coming from outside the inner courtyard had alarmed everyone in the clan.
The first to react were the guards in charge of guarding the entrance as they hurriedly rushed toward the entrance. Each of them was a Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, and their leader was a Sovereign. There were 36 of them in total. Generally, only imperial clans would have such a powerful group of guards.
"Who dares to intrude upon the Yu Clan?" shouted the leader of the guards.
Xiang Shaoyun raised his head and looked at the guard as he said, "I, Xiang Shaoyun, am here to ask for Yu Caidie's hand in marriage. Please inform your patriarch of my arrival."
"You're Xiang Shaoyun?" asked the guard leader in astonishment.
"Yes," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"Audacious! You dare damage our illusionary formation? Kneel down and apologize for what you did! Otherwise, you will suffer when our Saint Realm elders get here," berated the Sovereign. He knew how strong Xiang Shaoyun was, so instead of attacking, he merely threatened him with words.
"I'll give you three seconds. Inform your patriarch or suffer the consequences," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.
The loud explosion earlier was caused by the destruction of the Yu Clan's illusionary formation. An illusionary formation was merely a regular formation, but upon being powered by God Realm energy, it would become extremely powerful. Nevertheless, it was nothing before a formation grandmaster like Xiang Shaoyun.
"Who is this arrogant person who dares to provoke the Yu Clan?" demanded a Yu Clan Saint who had just arrived.
"Greetings, Elder Fu Dan," greeted the guards with a bow.
The newcomer was a third-stage Saint from the Yu Clan. Behind him were two other Saint Realm elders. These three were the butlers of the Yu Clan's inner courtyard.
Xiang Shaoyun raised his head and looked at Fu Dan as he said, "I, Xiang Shaoyun, am here to ask for Yu Caidie's hand in marriage. I don't wish to keep repeating myself."
"Ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking, Xiang Shaoyun?" said Fu Dan in astonishment.
"Since you know who he is, go inform your patriarch. Our overlord is a busy man. We can't afford to have you people waste his time," said Devouring Ghost.
Fu Dan hesitated somewhat before saying, "Young Master Xiang, I suggest that you leave. The Yu Clan is currently too preoccupied to receive any visitors. I'll make the decision to forget about the destruction of our illusionary formation. If the clan decides to make a fuss out of this, things will be troublesome for everyone."
"If that is your answer, don't blame us for what we're about to do," said Xiang Shaoyun. He looked at his companions and said, "Today, we will block their entrance. Nobody else will be allowed to enter their clan."
"Yes, overlord!" answered his companions.
Xiang Shaoyun had Devil Concubine, Devouring Ghost, Despair, Bing Busi, Liu Qingchen, and the 65 wolf guards with him. They made for an extremely powerful group. Even so, they still wouldn't dare to rashly break into the Yu Clan's headquarters, or they would probably die before even knowing what happened.
Instead, they decided to hold a blockade outside the clan, which would be akin to a slap across the Yu Clan's face. A sufficiently big ruckus would be caused, forcing someone important to come out and handle the issue.
"Young Master Xiang, do not force our hand. If you keep pushing us, we will have to be rude," said Fu Dan unhappily.
"How rude can you be?" asked Devouring Ghost as he took a step forward. His peak Heaven Battling Realm aura surged out and rushed toward Fu Dan and the two Saints behind him.
Whoosh!
The three were instantly sent flying away while coughing blood.
"Impudent!" the guards roared.
Unfortunately for them, they were too weak. Right after, all of them were sent flying away with a casual wave of Devouring Ghost's arm. One guard after another smashed onto the ground, looking incomparably sorry.
In fact, Devouring Ghost was already holding back. He would have killed all of them with one move otherwise. Devouring Ghost's attack finally alarmed more people from the Yu Clan. Soon, hundreds of Yu Clan members of different cultivation levels appeared at the entrance.
"Hehe, is this all you have, Yu Clan?" asked Devouring Ghost with a sneer. With another wave of his hand, the newcomers were all sent flying away. They were all piled together, forming a mountain of flesh before he proceeded to seal all of them, creating a rather comedic scene.
"Bastard, you will pay for this!"
"Reinforcements, enemies are attacking!"
The Yu Clan members called for help, filling the entrance with noise.
"Overlord, aren't we making too much of a fuss out of this?" asked Devil Concubine.
"Exactly. I'm here to kick up a fuss," said Xiang Shaoyun.
At this time, about 30 powerful auras started approaching the entrance. They were all Heaven Battling Realm experts, with a few of them being at late-stage Heaven Battling Realm. There were even two peak Heaven Battling Realm cultivators among them.
"Whoever you are, creating trouble here will result in your death!" declared a peak Saint coldly.
Immediately after that declaration, five Saints charged at Devouring Ghost while ten other Saints charged toward the rest of Xiang Shaoyun's group. Despair and Bing Busi were about to move before Xiang Shaoyun stopped them. "It's not the time for you to make a move yet. Devouring Ghost is trying to break through into the Great Saint Realm. Allow him to have a good fight. Perhaps this will help push him straight into the Great Saint Realm."
After many years of hard work, Devouring Ghost had finally achieved full affinity with his new body. He had even cultivated the powers of yin and yang. Despite not having the Yin Yang Physique, he was still able to cultivate the powers of yin and yang to an extremely high level. As he focused on the Yu Clan Saints, he brandished both his arms and formed a spiral of yin and yang before him, sending countless palms flying toward his opponents.
Cycle of Yin and Yang!
The powers of yin and yang formed a storm that tore space apart and caused the surroundings to shake. Devouring Ghost might not be a Great Saint yet, but he already possessed the combat strength of a Great Saint.
The Yu Clan Saints were completely incapable of resisting Devouring Ghost. One after another, they were sent flying.
"Is this all you have? How disappointing," said Devouring Ghost.
"Do not get too cocky! I, Yu Liehu, shall personally end you!" roared a peak Saint as he unleashed a spear with a tiger motif on it upon Devouring Ghost.
Yu Liehu used to be a proud young genius from the Yu Clan. Even now, he still preserved the look of someone about 40 years old. His combat strength was not to be underestimated.
Thick battle intent surged out of Devouring Ghost as the powers of yin and yang revolved around him. A black hole emitting cries of malicious spirits formed in one of his palms while a white radiance of incomparable purity gathered in his other palm. It was as though he was wielding hell in one hand and heaven in his other hand.
