Chapter 274: God-Binding Rope
In the oppressive atmosphere, Mr. Yun suddenly laughed. "Patriarch Huo, silence won't do. I'll just take that as your tacit agreement."
"You'd best prepare yourself to face the wrath of my Xuanwu Tribe!"
"You!"
The experts of the Huo family were both shocked and furious.
Huo Qiguang's eyes narrowed, and his fists slowly clenched.
He was growing angered by Mr. Yun's brazen attitude.
"Father..." Huo Susu looked at Huo Qiguang's hesitant expression, her jade-like hands quietly clenching.
No one had expected things to escalate to this point.
Someone from the Xuanwu Tribe had suddenly appeared, threatening to take Ye Chen away.
This made the Huo family, who had been protecting Ye Chen all along, feel a deep sense of unease.
Meanwhile, the Cyan Ape Tribe, the Yu family, the Xiao family, and others wore mocking expressions, looking at the Huo family with schadenfreude.
Just then, Mo Tianyun spoke.
"The Xuanwu Tribe, is it?"
"If my Demon Exorcism Institute also intends to protect this boy, are you still planning to take him by force?"
Mo Tianyun stood with his hands behind his back, his words filled with dominance.
Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe stood firmly by Mo Tianyun's side.
The old man tucked his hands into his long sleeves, standing to the side with a blank expression.
Everyone present looked at each other, their hearts in turmoil!
The people from the Demon Exorcism Institute had also spoken out!
If the Demon Exorcism Institute also intervened to protect Ye Chen, would the Xuanwu Tribe dare to remain as aggressive as before?
The members of the Huo family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They finally didn't have to face the Xuanwu Tribe alone, which undoubtedly relieved a great deal of pressure.
"The Great Hong Demon Exorcism Institute?"
Mr. Yun looked at Mo Tianyun with great interest, his expression surprisingly calm. "Although you're an official institution of the Great Hong Dynasty, it seems your jurisdiction doesn't extend to our Black Triangle Region, does it?"
He wasn't wrong about that.
After all, the Black Triangle Zone was located between the Great Hong Dynasty and two other dynasties, considered a lawless no-man's-land.
"It's true, we don't have jurisdiction over you."
"But Little Friend Ye Chen has rendered meritorious service in exorcising demons, a great help to our Demon Exorcism Institute! Besides, he is also a citizen of our Great Hong Dynasty."
"We may not have jurisdiction over you, but we intend to protect him. There's no problem with that, is there?"
Mo Tianyun said with a slow, unhurried smile.
"I see. That does make things a bit difficult..."
Mr. Yun frowned, but his brow quickly smoothed out. A pair of unsettling, eerie eyes glinted with a sharp, cold light.
"In that case, we'll just have to use force!"
As he spoke, a vast, mountain-like aura erupted from his body!
This was, shockingly, an expert at the Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
He was even a notch stronger than Mo Tianyun, who was at the Ninth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!
Everyone's expression changed, stunned by Mr. Yun's power.
Mo Tianyun's brow furrowed deeply as he said in a low voice, "Are you truly intending to make an enemy of our Great Hong Demon Exorcism Institute?"
"So what if I am?"
"We carry the will of the ancient divine beast, the Xuanwu. Why should we fear a mere dynastic institution like yours?"
Mr. Yun's smile was taunting, like a cat toying with a mouse.
Clearly, all the apprehension he had shown earlier was just an act!
At the side, Yu Hongjue couldn't help but clap and cheer. "HAHAHA, did you really think Mr. Yun was afraid of you? You're far too naive!"
The expressions of the four from the Demon Exorcism Institute turned ugly.
This Mr. Yun from the Xuanwu Tribe was far too arrogant, daring to show such disrespect even to their Demon Exorcism Institute!
"If you want a fight, then I'll see it through to the end!"
As a great steward of the Demon Exorcism Institute, Mo Tianyun naturally couldn't afford to lose face for the Institute at a time like this.
Even though the sheer vastness of his opponent's aura made him wary, he still stepped forward and unleashed his cultivation.
Tyrannical waves of Spiritual Power surged forth, confronting Mr. Yun from a distance!
"That secret treasure of your Yu family... you brought it, I assume?"
Mr. Yun ignored Mo Tianyun, instead looking toward Yu Hongjue at the side.
"As per Mr. Yun's instructions, this old man has naturally brought it." Yu Hongjue nodded respectfully.
"Good."
"I'll leave these fellows from the Demon Exorcism Institute for you to hold off."
"Once I've captured that brat, I'll take you with me when I leave this place."
"I'm only after one thing on that brat. Once I have it, whether he lives or dies will have nothing to do with me. You can dispose of him as you see fit then."
Mr. Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his tone revealing immense confidence and conviction.
"Excellent!" A cruel smile spread across Yu Hongjue's face.
If he had come alone to face the combined forces of the Huo family and the Demon Exorcism Institute, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything to Ye Chen.
But now with Mr. Yun's help, everything had become much simpler!
"You dared to kill my grandson! Today, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!!!"
Yu Hongjue's eyes were sharp and fierce, overflowing with killing intent!
A sliver of his will, a spiritual clone, had once been attached to his grandson, Yu Qingqi, and had crossed paths with Ye Chen.
At that time, he had begged Ye Chen to spare his grandson's life, but Ye Chen chose to fight the Yu family to the bitter end rather than let his grandson go!
Utterly enraged by Ye Chen, Yu Hongjue had come all the way from the Black Triangle to take this arrogant youth back and torture him properly!
Mr. Yun hesitated no longer. He transformed into a streak of light and shot toward Ye Chen.
"If you want to touch him, you'll have to get past me first!" Huo Qiguang blocked Ye Chen's path, his expression resolute.
"With your strength, you're not enough to stop me!"
"Get out of my way, and I'll let you suffer a little less!" Mr. Yun glanced at Huo Qiguang and shook his head dismissively.
"In your dreams!"
Huo Qiguang frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.
At the same time, Mo Tianyun also stepped forward, intending to intercept Mr. Yun.
"Truly courting death!"
"These guys are all yours!"
Mr. Yun ordered Yu Hongjue in an indifferent tone.
"Of course!"
Yu Hongjue's aura flared. With a wave of his arm, a chain suddenly shot out from his sleeve, blocking the path of Huo Qiguang and Mo Tianyun.
"Is that... the Yu family's God-Binding Rope?!"
"That old bastard actually brought such a world-shocking secret treasure with him?"
Stunned by the aura fluctuating around the chain, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
And while Huo Qiguang and Mo Tianyun were blocked, Mr. Yun had already arrived in front of Ye Chen, his large hand reaching straight for him.
"Don't you dare touch him!" Luo Rou summoned her precious sword, its light sharp and fierce as she fearlessly charged at Mr. Yun!
"Senior Sister, be careful!" Jiang Yuzhe's face went pale with fright.
That was a Peak Divinity Transformation Realm expert whom even Steward Mo was wary of. What was the difference between Luo Rou's actions and committing suicide?
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot. Utterly foolish!"
Mr. Yun didn't even spare Luo Rou a glance. With a flick of his sleeve, a surging wave of power billowed out in all directions, sweeping directly toward her.
