Chapter 439: We All Want You Dead

One-Eyed Man had once been a force to be reckoned with.

But somewhere along the way, everything changed.

He hadn't become weaker; the enemies he faced had simply become too strong. Could he truly handle this terrifying figure before him, whose appearance was even more frightening than his own?

He screamed internally, Fan, hurry up, I really can't hold on!

Outwardly, One-Eyed Man said, "So, it's a visit from the Starry Sky Great Clan. We have good relations with many great clans. Perhaps we can talk this over."

He searched for Lin Fan's figure.

Unfortunately, he didn't see him.

Hun Yue sneered, "Spare me the nonsense. Looking at your trembling heart, I know you're afraid. Or are you stalling, waiting for someone to save you? Don't be delusional. None of what you're hoping for will happen."

One-Eyed Man felt a bit embarrassed.

Damn, this guy's gaze is terrifying. His inner thoughts had been completely seen through. Even if he'd been exposed, he absolutely wouldn't admit it.

Master Yongxin whispered, "Where's Lin Fan?"

"Yongxin, this mentality of yours isn't good. We can't rely on Lin Fan for everything. We need to be strong ourselves. What if one day Lin Fan doesn't arrive in time?" One-Eyed Man lectured, seizing the opportunity to showcase his leadership abilities. He needed to make it clear that there was a reason he was the leader.

"Amitabha, Benefactor, don't go too far," Master Yongxin replied calmly.

Hun Yue said, "What are you all whispering about? You're all so insignificant. I could swat a bunch of you dead with a single slap."

His contempt was blatant.

"So arrogant," Lin Daoming, injured and spitting blood, muttered, leaning against the wall and looking up at the sky.

One-Eyed Man was furious.

Indeed, Hun Yue was acting rampant.

But the current situation was awkward. He wanted to rip off Hun Yue's head and kick it around like a ball, but he needed the ability to do so. If they fought, without Lin Fan, it would likely be his own head that got ripped off.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Hun Yue of the Hun Clan, what are you doing here acting so arrogant? Be careful, you're courting disaster," Wu Xingyun said.

He and Wu Sheng approached from afar. They had just arrived and heard Hun Yue's boasting.

Honestly, Wu Xingyun thought Hun Yue wouldn't get far with his arrogance. He hadn't even bothered to understand the situation before causing trouble. The world was so big, there were so many cities, yet he chose Yanhai City. Did he really think the Starry Sky Great Clans were omnipotent and could act with impunity?

He used to believe the Starry Sky Great Clans could sweep across this planet.

But after a few beatings, he no longer held that belief. The ultimate price of arrogance was a severe thrashing.

"Wu Xingyun of the Wu Clan." Hun Yue didn't expect to see someone from the Wu Clan here. "You're actually with these natives? You have no ambition. What? Do you want to interfere?"

He didn't take Wu Xingyun seriously at all. Did he, Hun Yue, need to care about anyone's opinion?

One-Eyed Man breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also a little disappointed. Why wasn't it Lin Fan who appeared? If it were Lin Fan, he could have flaunted his leadership prowess without restraint. But regardless, something was better than nothing. The appearance of the Wu Clan was a good thing; at least it could stabilize the current situation.

Wu Xingyun said, "I'm not trying to interfere, I'm trying to save your life. Believe it or not, I can tell you that if you continue to act so recklessly, you're putting yourself in grave danger. This might very well be your last act of arrogance."

"Insolent! You, an elder of the Wu Clan, dare to speak to me like this?" Hun Yue had fully immersed himself in his role of unrestrained power. Everyone was an ant in his eyes. Anyone who dared to oppose him was courting death. "Do you think you're a match for me?"

The only reason Hun Yue wouldn't take Wu Xingyun seriously was if he could suppress him completely.

Wu Xingyun said, "I'm indeed not your match, but it won't be me who deals with you. Don't think you can be lawless. You're just a frog in a well, ignorant of the true depths. The Hun Clan and the Wu Clan have a decent relationship. I'm kindly reminding you, don't regret it in the end."

His kind advice was falling on deaf ears. He didn't want to say anything more.

Wu Sheng whispered, "Clan Elder, if he wants to die, let him."

"Young Master, you're a bit wicked."

"How am I wicked? I'm just annoyed by his arrogance."

"I'm also quite annoyed."

Hun Yue frowned and snapped, "What are you whispering about?"

He felt like they were talking about him behind his back.

"Nothing," they both replied casually.

Wu Sheng and Wu Xingyun spread their hands, acting nonchalant. Hun Yue, standing in the air, was truly arrogant. The banner in his hand was clearly an evil weapon that stirred up storms and devoured souls. It was very dangerous, and ordinary people couldn't resist it. As long as they were enveloped by it, their souls would be instantly pulled away.

Hun Yue didn't care what the Wu Clan said. He waved the banner again, stirring up gusts of evil wind.

"Souls, come!"

Wu Xingyun raised his hand and struck out with a palm, shattering the light emitted by the banner.

"What are you doing?" Hun Yue roared, his eyes wide, staring straight at Wu Xingyun. "You want to fight me? Fine, I'll let you taste the power of the Soul-Summoning Banner."

"Wait," Wu Xingyun said hurriedly. "I don't want to fight you. I've made it clear, I'm not your match."

"Hmph, since you know you're not my match, then behave yourself."

Hun Yue ultimately didn't attack Wu Xingyun. His purpose here was to absorb souls, nothing else. While Wu Xingyun claimed he wasn't a match for him, if they fought, it would still be troublesome.

These ordinary beings had mostly fled, but it didn't matter. The Soul-Summoning Banner's ability, regardless of how far they ran, as long as they were within its range, even if they hid underground, it could summon them out.

He waved the Soul-Summoning Banner again.

"Souls, come!"

The banner glowed, its power stronger than before, clearly ready for a full harvest.

Just as he was confidently expecting everything to go according to plan, the situation suddenly changed.

Hun Yue glared at Wu Xingyun. "What are you trying to do?"

He was blocked again.

Still by Wu Xingyun.

Wu Xingyun said helplessly, "I really want to save you. I hope you don't do anything you'll regret. Sometimes, your perspective is limited. The Soul-Summoning Banner is indeed a terrifying weapon, but it's also your death warrant. I understand your purpose on this planet. I advise you to go to Changbai Mountain. Perhaps you'll find something there."

"You're courting death," Hun Yue said furiously.

Time and time again… He couldn't tolerate it any longer.

Wu Xingyun said, "You're the one courting death."

He couldn't understand why Hun Yue didn't get it. Couldn't he see that he was repeatedly blocking him for a reason? Why wouldn't he use his brain and think about the implications? Why did he insist on being so stubborn?

Suddenly, Wu Xingyun caught sight of a figure approaching from the distance.

"You're doomed."

At that moment, Lin Fan and the others walked over from afar, carrying fishing gear. Along the way, they saw many ordinary citizens fleeing in panic. They wondered what was going on and stopped a citizen to ask. They learned there was danger ahead and hurried over.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Lin Fan shouted.

When One-Eyed Man saw Lin Fan, he felt like crying. It was like being in deep despair and suddenly seeing a bright light, a very bright light, illuminating everything.

"A powerful enemy came to cause trouble, wanting to wipe out everyone in the city," One-Eyed Man said. He then jumped down from the rooftop, quickly arriving beside Lin Fan. He pointed at Hun Yue in the sky, explaining the situation to Lin Fan.

"So evil?"

"Really evil, and very wicked. Look…" One-Eyed Man stared intently at the sky. "You, a powerful being from the Starry Sky Great Clan, are actually trying to take the souls of everyone in Yanhai City. Do you really want to wipe out an entire city?"

Hun Yue roared, "Hmph, don't think that just because Wu Xingyun is helping you, you're safe. I'll take the souls of this city, and no one can stop me."

"See? That's how evil he is. This kind of villain can't be spared. Otherwise, it's a disaster for all of humanity," One-Eyed Man said, pointing at Hun Yue with a serious expression.

"Yes, you're right," Lin Fan agreed.

Old Zhang hid behind Lin Fan and whispered, "So scary. Little Bao will be in danger."

"My wife will be in danger too," Lin Fan said.

One-Eyed Man was satisfied. This was exactly the effect he wanted. He had no problem with the Starry Sky Great Clans. They could come to their planet to travel or explore, but they couldn't just casually threaten to destroy a city. It was too frightening.

If they didn't have Lin Fan, they really could have been scared to death.

Wu Sheng whispered, "What are they talking about?"

Wu Xingyun said, "What else could they be talking about? In my opinion, this guy is completely finished, with no hope left. He could have asked around and learned the current situation. How can he be so clueless?"

His words were filled with disappointment towards Hun Yue. He had lived to this age, yet his mind was this foolish? Truly frightening.

"Young Master, don't look at Chief Xu's righteous appearance. He's a ruthless schemer," Wu Xingyun commented.

"I can see that." Wu Sheng agreed with the Clan Elder. After so many collaborations, their gains were meager. It was as if an invisible hand was constantly manipulating them. Thinking about it carefully, it was One-Eyed Man who was so cunning, constantly tricking them.

"Hun Yue, I advise you to apologize with a friendly attitude. This person has arrived. Don't be ignorant. If you end up losing your life, you can't blame anyone else," Wu Xingyun said.

"Shut up!" Hun Yue snapped.

Wu Sheng said, "Clan Elder, why not tell him that even the Dragon Clan ancestor has to be polite to him?"

"Young Master, I also want him dead. His Soul-Summoning Banner is a good item, a powerful killing tool. Although it's a bit evil, it's very useful."

"It won't be easy to get. Not that simple."

"Leave Chief Xu to me. Don't worry about anything else."

"Understood."
