Chapter 266
After hearing what Ouyang Fei said, Ouyang Dong guffawed with laughter, pointing at Ouyang Fei while said, “Today, I have readied a vast number of people. Aside from killing you, I want to kill the entire next generation and the whole of the Sang Clan members!”
“You merely rely on the strength of others, but do you dare to fight me fair and square?” Ouyang Fei pointed his sword at Ouyang Dong.
“Why should I fight you?” Ouyang Dong sneered, “I have so many people who will move at my command. I have no need to personally move against a person like you at all.”
“You only know how to rely on the strength of others when you want to get things done. You have never thought of strengthening yourself. A person like you will never become strong. You will always be weak, you will always be a coward!”
Ouyang Dong did not flare up in anger against his words, saying, “I wonder whether or not you will still be able to spout these self righteous words and call me a coward, when I’ve exterminated your entire clan in front of your eyes!”
“That will depend on whether or not you have the ability to!” Ouyang Fei laughed coldly.
Ouyang Dong looked at Ouyang Feis’ expression and his heart was shaken. He asked the person beside him, “Why haven’t Sang Lun and the others been brought over?”
“Your Highness, they should normally have arrived by now.” The guard replied.
“Then why haven’t they come? Send men to investigate!” Ouyang Dong was angered.
At this time, a guard stumbled in and came to the bottom of the stage, reporting, “Your Highness, it is bad. They have been kidnapped from the prison!”
“Been kidnapped?” Ouyang Dong immediately stood up, saying, “Weren’t they under heavy guard? How did they get kidnapped?!”
“You Highness, this lowly one does not know! We merely noticed that they hadn’t come out after so long and and sent men to go check, but we only saw the guards sprawled out on the floor. We didn’t see the perpetrators!”
“Useless bunch!” Ouyang Dong cursed, “Go and find them!”
“Yes, Your Highness!” That guard stumbled to his feet and left.
“Ouyang Dong, are you looking for me?” Sang Mu Yu brought the people from the Sang Clan and appeared at the execution site.
“Imperial Concubine?” Many of the people at the courtyard could recognise her, “Wasn’t she imprisoned in the palace? How did she get out?”
Ouyang Dong was also very surprised when he saw Sang Mu Yu. He saw the Sang Clan Members behind her and his face was terrifying frosty, “You actually escaped!”
“That’s right, we escaped.” Sang Mu Yu said, “At that time, you already said it when you locked us away, that we would only be able to come out when you were dead!”
Ouyang Fei turned around and saw Sang Mu Yu. He saw that familiar expression and his lips quivered and his mouth opened and closed, but he could not say a word.
“Dear Fei.” Sang Mu Yu Saw Ouyang Fei and quickly stepped forward and grabbed ahold of him as tears streamed down her face.
“Mother!” Ouyang Fei grabbed onto Sang Mu Yu’s arm and said, “I’ve been so worried about you these few years.”
“You’re actually still alive. Why didn’t you send word earlier?” Sang Mu Yu heavily beat him, but the look on her face revealed care and concern.
“Sorry, Mother. I did not know the circumstances here so I did not dare to reveal my presence.” Ouyang Fei said apologetically. “I initially wanted to come back when I reached Spirit Saint, then it would be more certain.”
“This child, as if it would be so easy to become a Spirit Saint!” Sang Mu Yu said, “Could it be that you planned not to come back if you didn’t reach Spirit Saint?”
“Mother, I have already reached the rank of Spirit Saint. The very latest that I would come would be this year.” Ouyang Fei said.
“What?! You have already become a Spirit Saint?” Sang Mu Yu cried out in surprise.
“Mm.” Ouyang fei nodded.
“Good, good, my son is so strong!” Sang Mu Yu said happily.
Sima You Yue watched the exchange and suddenly kind of missed her own parents. She wondered what would happen when they met.
She pulled Bei Gong Tang’s skirt and said beside her ear, “Stay here. I will go with them to settle the situation with the Nalan Clan.”
“Will it be okay with just the few of you?” Bei Gong Tang asked.
“Don’t forget that we all have Divine Beasts.” Sima You yue said, “I noticed that no Nalan Clansmen are here, but I sensed a thread of aura that isn’t too strong from over there. I think that’s where they are.”
“Then you all should be careful. If you can’t hold on, get Halcyon to go over.” Bei Gong Tang said.
“I know.” Sima You Yue nodded.
She waved her hands at the Sima Clansmen to show that she was leaving the execution ground.
“Fifth Brother, why did we leave?” Sima You Le asked.
“Didn’t you all come because of the Nalan Clansmen? It’s natural for us to go and settle them. Ouyang has no issues here so he doesn’t need us.” Sima You Yue said.
“If they fight like this, the entire capital should be affected.” A disciple of the Sima Clan said, “The royal family has many secret guardians, I wonder who they will protect at this time?”
“Those guardians will not appear.” Sima You Yang said.
“Why? Aren’t those guardians supposed to protect the royal family?” Sima You Le asked.
“Nope.” Sima You Yang shook his head, “Those guardians will only appear when the South Eclipse Kingdom faces danger. They won’t bother about this kind of internal battles.”
“That’s right. Those kinds of guardians don’t care who the one in power is. As long as you are the royal family, they don’t care if you exterminate everyone else. Even if only one person were left, they still wouldn’t appear. However, if others came to try and kill members of the royal family, they would appear.” Sima You Qing explained.
“That suits the phrase survival of the fittest.” Sima You Yue said.
“Fifth Bro, do you know how many Nalan Clansmen came?” Sima You Ming asked.
“Mm, the people who came this time are not weak. There are ten Spirit Saints, ten Spirit Paragons.” Sima You Yue said, “The strongest of whom is Nalan Hong, a fourth ranked Spirit Paragon.”
“Looks like the Nalan Clan didn’t really take the happenings of this place too seriously.” Sima You Yang said.
“Ten Spirit Paragons. If this kind of force isn’t considered strong, then what is?” Sima You Yue asked.
“They just never thought that we would have so many Divine Beasts.” Sima You Ran said.
“Furthermore, Halcyon hasn’t appeared on the continent in two years. They probably thought he went up to the higher realms.” Sima You Lin added on.
At that time, Sima Ke had taken the whole branch of people and escaped. He had told the situation of the Sima Clan to the Nalan Clan, but they did not know too much of the Nalan clan. If it wasn’t because Sima You Yue had tamed so many Divine beasts and even obtained the Scarlet Queen Bee and given everyone Scarlet Honey, they would definitely have been on the losing end of the match this time.
“If we let them see Halcyon, they will definitely regret participating in this.” Sima You Le beamed.
“That’s right, Sima Ke came as well.” Sima You Yue said.
The Sima Clansmen were stunned as Sima You Yang’s expression was no longer jovial. He said, “Grandfather said that, if we met anyone from the traitor line, we were to exact the law.”
“Then we need not be lenient.” Sima You Yue used her two fingers to make a pinching motion and said, “However, I never planned to be lenient in the first place!”
Everyone rolled their eyes. Then what did she even say that for! Wasn’t she just making fun of them!
