I Am Overlord - Chapter 72

Chapter 72

Chapter 72: I Am Unhappy!

After sending Xiang Shaoyun back to his residence, the old drunkard was made to leave reluctantly . Gazing at the departing old drunkard, Xiang Shaoyun sighed inwardly, Don't worry, old drunkard . This young master will live well . I will not spare a single one of those traitors .

As of this moment, Xiang Shaoyun greatly longed to have his strength skyrocket instantaneously, but he was also aware that something like that would not happen .

Not enough, still far from enough . I need to grow as quickly as possible! Xiang Shaoyun vowed inwardly . After changing into a new set of clothes, he walked out of his residence .

The moment Xiang Shaoyun walked out, someone noticed him . The overseer cried out in alarm, "I-it’s X-Xiang . . . Y-Young Master Xiang is back . "

The overseer was about to call out Xiang Shaoyun's full name, but he was able to change it to "young master" instead . The new term of address was both respectful and denoted familiarity between them .

Xiang Shaoyun's disappearance had created a large ruckus in the entire Martial Hall Palace . Elder Zhen Peng and the palace master had both personally gotten involved in the incident . How would an overseer dare to show Xiang Shaoyun disrespect? And with the overseer's shout, the news of Xiang Shaoyun's return spread throughout the Martial Hall Palace .

Soon, Elder Zhen Peng, Yang Gaochuan, Qing Xiuhe, Zi Changhe, and the other higher ups of Martial Hall Palace gathered there . Even Li Xuemeng was no exception . When Li Xuemeng saw that Xiang Shaoyun was perfectly fine, his heart thumped madly .  How is this possible? Had Wu Fuxiang released him? Shit, I'm f*cked!

"Young master, are you alright?" Elder Zhen Peng stepped forward and asked .

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said, "I'm fine . My apologies for the trouble I have caused . "

"Shaoyun, can you tell us what happened during the past two days? Elder Zhen Peng and everyone else have been worried sick about you," Zi Changhe asked .

"Hold on, young master, you've reached the fourth stage?" Elder Zhen Peng suddenly cried out in alarm .

"Haha, I got lucky . Nothing happened to me . Thank you for the trouble . I will treat everyone to a feast to thank you all when I get the chance," Xiang Shaoyun said with a cheerful laugh .

Xiang Shaoyun had no intention to tell them the truth . It's not like any of them would believe him if he told them the truth anyway . Since that was the case, he couldn't be bothered to tell them anything more .

Everyone was shocked by his rapid growth of strength, but that was still something they could accept . They merely assumed that Xiang Shaoyun must have eaten some spirit medicine to grow that fast . When they saw that Xiang Shaoyun was fine, they dispersed . Those still outside searching for Xiang Shaoyun were called back as well .

"Thirteenth elder, please wait a moment," Xiang Shaoyun suddenly called out to Li Xuemeng .

Li Xuemeng trembled before turning . "Y-yes?"

He tried his best to calm himself, but he still couldn't avoid feeling fear . The current Xiang Shaoyun was still no threat to him . But with Elder Zhen Peng around, he had to feel fear . If a King Realm expert was angered, their entire Li Clan would be exterminated .

"Please pass your son a message . I'll see him at the arena tomorrow," Xiang Shaoyun said solemnly . When Li Xuemeng heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief . So long as it wasn't about the kidnap, he did not care about anything else .

"Y-Young Master Xiang, there is no need for that, right? I concede on my son's behalf . I'll also tell my children to get out of your way whenever they see you," Li Xuemeng said, lowering himself . He swore that so long as the kidnap remained a secret, he would no longer provoke this kid .

"No . He was too cocky the other day . I am very unhappy . I'll see him in the arena tomorrow . If I don't see him, I will be even more unhappy, and all of you won't have an easy time if that is the case," Xiang Shaoyun rejected the surrender .

"Just do as told," Elder Zhen Peng said .

"Yes, yes . I will tell my son to go and let Young Master Xiang vent his anger," Li Xuemeng quickly promised .

"No need for that . Just tell him to fight me with his full strength . I won't regret it even if I get killed tomorrow . Elder Peng and my senior brother will not do anything if I am killed in the arena tomorrow . Don't worry about it," Xiang Shaoyun promised .

Li Xuemeng did not know from where Xiang Shaoyun got his confidence . He merely nodded and left . Once Li Xuemeng left, Little White growled on Xiang Shaoyun’s shoulder with a vicious expression .

"Was it him?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"Meow!" Little White replied .

At this time, Zi Changhe spoke . "When you went missing, he came out from thirteenth elder's carriage . He also brought us to an abandoned building behind the Wu Estate . Unfortunately, we failed to find you . "

"That's right, then . " Xiang Shaoyun instantly understood everything . Li Xuemeng was the kidnapper who had handed him to Wu Fuxiang at the abandoned building . One could say that the two were the culprits .

"Young master, do you want me to . . . ," Elder Zhen Peng asked as a ruthless glint surfaced in his eyes .

Xiang Shaoyun shook his head . "No, I will personally deal with these trashes one by one . "

He regarded both the Wu Clan or Li Xuemeng as nothing more than his stepping stones . Xiang Shaoyun then asked them about Lu Xiaoqing . When he found that Lu Xiaoqing was safe, he was relieved .

"Elder Zhen Peng, senior brother, please come with me . I have something for you guys," Xiang Shaoyun said before entering his residence . The two were clueless about what he was up to, but they still followed him inside .

Soon, Xiang Shaoyun came out from his room with two items . Both items were covered by black cloth, but from the outlines, it was clear they were weapons . He handed them both items and said, "Take it, I believe they will be useful for you guys . "

Elder Zhen Peng was the first to accept the gift . He removed the black cloth, revealing the sword beneath . Without thinking, he drew out the sword .

Swish!

As the blade left the sheath, a bright radiance shot up into the sky, as if a fiery roc was soaring through the sky .

"T-this is a king weapon!" Elder Zhen Peng cried out, his voice shivering .

"Calm down, Old Peng . Keep it away first to avoid unnecessary troubles," Xiang Shaoyun said indifferently .

"Oh, right, yes . I got too excited . " Elder Zhen Peng quickly kept the sword back in its sheath .

"King weapon? Did I get the same as well?" Zi Changhe cried out in surprise before he removed the black cloth from his gift as well . Similarly, a dazzling radiance shot up into the sky, yet this time, the color of the radiance was different . It was purple .

"T-this is the real Purple Lightning Spear!" Zi Changhe cried out joyfully .

"That's right . One Fire Roc Sword and one Purple Lightning Spear, both are common king weapons, but I suppose they are good enough for now," Xiang Shaoyun said .  

"They aren't ordinary king weapons, right? They are at least mid-tier king weapons! They are high-quality treasures!" Elder Zhen Peng was still rather knowledgeable, after all .

"Yeah, they are too valuable . We can't accept them!" Zi Changhe said .

"Just take them . We can get as many of these ordinary things as we want," Xiang Shaoyun said indifferently .
