Hao Liyu came back to his senses as soon as he heard Yang Lujiaâs voice. He turned to look at the young man who looked nothing more than ordinary. However, just the presence of Yang Lujia made all the hair on his body stand.
Yang Lujia carried the air of majesty. It was as if he was a mortal human emperor but, at the same time, an immortal emperor. It could even be said that he was like a god in their eyes, one that is blinding even when he was not shining.
One had to know that although Yang Lujia, on the surface, was a mortal, he was standing in midair! That spoke a lot as evidence that he wasnât a mere mortal. If they were idiots, they wouldnât have noticed this.
However, Hao Liyu especially noticed this, and he stopped the thought of attacking the moment he heard Yang Lujiaâs voice and saw him appear in midairâout of nowhere.
âCai Hong,â Yang Lujia called out. âDo not bully people in the future anymore.â
âEh?â Cai Hong was a bit surprised. âHis Highness is actually so benevolent?â
The Dragon Phantom Sect disciples, and even Hao Liyu and their sect master, heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Yang Lujia said. Hao Liyu could sense it. Yang Lujia could possibly kill them all without even blinking.
âYes, do not bully people in the future anymore. You can just beat them up until they are subjugated by you,â Yang Lujia replied.
âEh?!â Cai Hongâs eyes turned wide.
âIsnât that still bullying?â Hao Bufei, who had been silent for a long time, stepped up and questioned Yang Lujiaâs decision.
Everyone actually wanted to ask how beating up another person is not bullying in itself.
However, they didnât receive an answer from Yang Lujia. In fact, he was just joking then. People like the old man did not deserve to be bullied. Others deserve such treatment, nonetheless. It depended on the circumstances the weaker person had experienced once.
Instead, Yang Lujia just looked at the gate to enter the Void Ground. âWhy did I feel something very familiar from this gate?â
Hao Bufei gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Lujia ferociously. He felt very humiliated in front of the other disciples. Who was he? He was the most doted person in the sect? The one whom everyone would treat with the utmost respect and he was actually treated like this?
Yang Lujia temporarily ignored the gate and looked at the people inside the airship. Walking in the air, he gradually stepped his way forward to the Dragon Phantom Sectâs airship.
Hao Liyuâs heart grew cold. âBufei really did not hold back this time! We are doomed! If this person really wanted to kill all of them, he could probably do so.â
His instincts were telling him so.
âDisassemble,â Yang Lujia mumbled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Afterward, it was as though either they became deaf or the entire area became eerily silent, the airship disintegrated itself, its parts separated from one another.
Hao Liyu and the othersâ eyes constricted.
âHoly fuck!â an elder cursed, unable to contain the fear deep within his heart.
âBurn,â Yang Lujia followed.
After seeing all the people safely land on the ground, Yang Lujia started to burn the airshipâs partsâturning them into dust.
Everyoneâs hair stood on end as they looked at Yang Lujia, petrified.
âYou donât all have to be afraid,â Yang Lujiaâs voice rang into everyoneâs ears. Although he was exerting force while talking, he was using the rules of sound to create a channel that would directly enter everyoneâs ears.
However, although he said that, everyone was still afraid of him.
Helpless, he could only shake his head.
âYou know I am strong, right? If I wanted to, I wouldâve burned the airship together with all of you. Why do you think I disassembled it?â
Hao Liyu and the others naturally knew of this. This was the question they posed in their minds earlier.
âI disassembled it to let every person inside the airship out here,â Yang Lujia replied to himself. âNow, I also burned your sectâs airship because I want you to follow me after this. I want you to be under my rule. However, you have to know that I will not restrict you. That said, if you encounter trouble outside and that trouble is something I canât afford to face, then do not mention my name or involve me in such trouble. Do you all understand what I meant?â
Subconsciously, they involuntarily nodded their heads. It was the same for Hao Liyu. Yang Lujiaâs voice was like communicating and comforting their souls, especially for Hao Liyu, who experienced backlash on his mind and soul for using too many weapons.
His turbulent mind and soul were actually getting more peaceful as Yang Lujia talked more.
âJust what is he?â Hao Liyu couldnât help but ask.
After he asked such a question, the other disciples of their sect, even Hao Bufei, broke through to two or three levels, others even crossing a major realm from peak Saint to a Saint King.
âHeâs that powerful?â Hao Liyu began doubting his life, wondering whether he really deserved to be born in this world.
âIf I were not born into that family and instead became the son of this person before us, what wouldâve been my life? I wish I were born in a mortal family instead.â
His family, the Hao Family, although revered by many, was very despicable in its inside matters. Hao Liyu experienced the worst in his time within that family. He was even exiled by them just because they thought he did that thing, despite not trying to seek the truth.
His previous instincts about the peril coming from Yang Lujia vanished into thin air the moment he praised Yang Lujia in his heart. He even looked at him as though he was a son, extremely proud of his father.
