I Am Overlord

Chapter 1524: What Kind of Consequences?

Chapter 1524: What Kind of Consequences?

The one who had spoken was not someone from the Ziling Sect. Rather, it was Huang Tianji, the Dusk Dynasty's third prince. Unknowingly, he had arrived nearby with his people.

"Oh? Has the third prince taken a liking to them? Too bad I won't yield," said Liu Chun.

"Hehe, how would I dare to try anything against them? They are both Xiang Shaoyun's women," said Huang Tianji.

Liu Chun had naturally heard of Xiang Shaoyun, but he didn't really care. There ought to be a limit to how strong an up-and-coming youngster could be. He was a marquis of the Great Han Dynasty. Someone as noble as him was in a completely different league than Xiang Shaoyun.

"Who does Xiang Shaoyun think he is? My marquis can defeat him with a single finger," said the Saint beside Liu Chun with disdain.

Hundreds of people gathered around Liu Chun. They were all the people he had brought to the battlefield, and they included a pseudo-God. Thus, Liu Chun could easily overpower Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and the dozens of people with them.

"Don't forget, Xiang Shaoyun is ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking. Even someone like me has to show some respect before him," Huang Tianji continued provoking Liu Chun.

Naturally, Huang Tianji was only saying so much because he wanted to make use of Liu Chun to create trouble for Xiang Shaoyun.

"A shameless scoundrel who resorts to inciting conflict between others. It is truly unfortunate for the Dusk Dynasty to have a prince like you," said Devil Concubine with disdain.

"If you have a problem with us, just bring it on," said Yu Caidie as her entire body lit up with a raging flame.

Those around her also prepared for battle. People like them were here to fight against the devils and had long prepared for death. They had nothing to fear.

"I am not one to force myself against a woman," said Liu Chun. "However, I am interested in having a talk with that Xiang Shaoyun. I believe he will show me respect."

"Haha, I do hope that you're right," said Huang Tianji as he roared with laughter.

Liu Chun and his people then started forcing Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and the others to return to Xiang Shaoyun's encampment.

Devil Concubine initially wanted to have the celestial darkdevil tree deal with them, but Yu Caidie transmitted to her, "There's no rush. Let's go back. Someone else will naturally deal with these fellows."

Devil Concubine understood her meaning and nodded in agreement. They thus headed back to their encampment. While they were on the way back, a wolf guard returned to report the situation.

Because Xiang Shaoyun had split his attention into two while cultivating, he had improved greatly as of late. This was especially true for his cultivation realm, which had reached mid fourth-stage Heaven Battling Realm.

It hadn't even been that long since he had entered the fourth stage, yet he had taken such a short time to accomplish what others would have taken decades to accomplish. This was all thanks to the two strands of God Realm energy in his body and his physique.

When he heard that someone was trying to steal his women, he sneered and said, "Very well. Let me see who is so daring."

He then stood up and headed outside the encampment. The others also followed him, curious to see the person who dared to provoke their overlord.

"Who dares to force the two young madams to do something against their will?" Devouring Ghost's voice rang out.

Wherever he was, his role as Xiang Shaoyun's daring vanguard would never change.

"Who are you? Can you speak on behalf of Xiang Shaoyun?" asked the Saint beside Liu Chun.

The Saint was called Meng Luo, a tall and sturdy person clad in golden armor. With a mace in hand, he emanated a domineering temperament.

"Where are you from, clown? Is this the place for you to speak?" berated Devouring Ghost.

Just as Meng Luo was about to retort, Liu Chun gazed at the handsome young man ahead of him and said, "You must be Xiang Shaoyun."

Xiang Shaoyun completely ignored Liu Chun. Instead, he waved to Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine and asked, "Are you fine?"

"We're fine," they replied.

"Um. That's good to hear," said Xiang Shaoyun as he held both their hands. The two nestled against him deferentially, instantly causing the surrounding people to gasp in admiration.

Liu Chun was so furious his eyes seemed to be burning. However, he suppressed his fury and stopped himself from attacking.

By his side, Meng Luo, understanding his master well, shouted, "Xiang Shaoyun, my lord is the Great Han Dynasty's Gentle Spring Marquis. If you know what's good for you, hand the two young ladies to my lord. Otherwise, suffer the consequences."

"What kind of consequences?" asked Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.

"Hehe, you might think you have a lot of people here, but before the Great Han Dynasty, you're all bugs," declared Meng Luo arrogantly.

"Slap his mouth," said Xiang Shaoyun with a frown.

At his command, Devouring Ghost dashed forth like a specter and slapped Meng Luo across his face before Meng Luo could even react.

Pa! Pa!

Devouring Ghost was too fast. Before Meng Luo even knew what was happening, he was already bleeding from his face. In fact, the pain was enough to cause him to wail in pain. The other people around Liu Chun had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would attack directly. By the time they reacted, Devouring Ghost had already returned to his previous position.

"Keep running your mouth, and I'll pluck your head from your body. Scram!" shouted Devouring Ghost as a baleful aura erupted from him.

"Marquis, your subordinate is incompetent," said Meng Luo shamefully with his hand on his injured face.

"He is no weaker than me and has even cultivated a footwork technique. It is not surprising that you couldn't react to his attack. Stand down," said Liu Chun. He then spoke to a dwarf beside him and said, "Te Lu, show them your strength. Otherwise, they will think that we're weak."

The dwarf called Te Lu stepped forth with a ruthless look in his eyes. A terrifying pseudo-God aura erupted from his body, forming a gravity field around him. The field pressed down upon Xiang Shaoyun's group, instantly causing the weaker ones among them to cough up blood. The dwarf's actions infuriated Xiang Shaoyun. Liu Chun's group was obviously here to suppress them with force.

"Looks like everyone will think that I can be easily bullied if nobody bleeds today," said Xiang Shaoyun with thick killing intent.

"Xiang Shaoyun, I can spare you out of respect for the lord guardian. Hand over Miss Yu and Miss Concubine and scram," said Liu Chun.

"You should be the one to scram! You dare try to steal my boss's women? You must be tired of living!" a furious voice rang out before Xiang Shaoyun could say anything.
