Chapter 834: When Someone Stands Up To You, You Find It Unpleasant?
"Get rid of her first; sharing the same air with this woman suffocates my heart," one of the women in the group declared, her icy composure momentarily thawed at the mention of the prince. "We need to finish our task swiftly and deliver the items to our lord; there’s no reason to risk angering him."
Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes flared with outrage. It wasn’t merely the slights directed at her that stung; it was their complete disregard for her master’s significance, treating his life as though it were merely a commodity to be carted off.
What made her blood boil was the undeniable connection they shared, her striking white hair and the hue of her eyes mirrored in theirs, a testament to their shared bloodline.
Around her, Shenlian Yinzhu and Shenlian Sheshan joined forces with a group of allies, confronting the twenty figures poised to attack. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily, stifling the breath of even the mightiest among them.
As before, their cloaks billowed like shadows, masks concealing their true forms. Thus, the disdain and murderous intent masked on Shenlian Yinzhu’s and Shenlian Sheshan’s faces went unseen.
Shenlian Yinzhu remained detached. To him, his true family was limited to his father, sister, and uncle. The others were mere strangers, their faces lost to memory.
In stark contrast, Shenlian Sheshan felt rage boiling within him. Having spent an indeterminate time in the secret realm of Congzhu, he was unprepared for the shamelessness exhibited by the younger generation of his clan, a group that displayed such viciousness at such a young age.
These individuals were not the youngest members of the clan; their ages spanned from twenty-two to fifty, still considered youth in the Upper Worlds, yet they possessed an unusual level of maturity beyond their years.
Each possessed cultivation levels that surpassed the Golden Immortal stage, granting them an extended lifespan and an ageless appearance, embodied in their heroic visages. They had established their foundations at a young age. Yet here they stood, ungratefully challenging their kin.
