Armipotent

Chapter 2152: Chaos

The moment Yan Xueyi mentioned the Thousand Vows Pavilion, the hostility in the Murim Alliance turned into greed. That meant Tang Shaoyang had the Grandmaster Codex, the most priceless treasure that contained all kinds of techniques that had been developed by the Thousand Vows Pavilion’s Grandmasters and experts.

The technique itself was valuable, but there was one more thing that was more valuable than the technique. The insight behind the technique would help them to develop their own technique further. Perfecting their technique was more important than learning a new technique, especially for someone like them who had reached the True God Realm.

The first one to make a move was the Ximen Family. The Ximen Family Head, Ximen Qiwen, stood up from the chair, "Not only did you kill the Ximen Family’s members, but you also tried to kidnap Spear God’s disciple! You must take responsibility for your sin, Tang Shaoyang!"

The group to the Ximen Family’s right also stood up, "As an orthodox faction, it’s our call to uphold justice!"

Tang Shaoyang figured out what these people wanted. He didn’t tell Yan Xueyi to keep the Thousand Vows Pavilion. Not because he forgot about it, but because it didn’t really matter anymore since the Ice Pavilion wanted to say their farewell to the Alliance Leader.

However, he didn’t expect that the Thousand Vows Pavilion’s name would affect the major faction’s response. These people were no different than the Heaven Founder who tried to take the Grandmaster Codex. On top of that, he gave them the justification to make a move against them.

They tried to act in the name of justice, while their aim was clear: the Grandmaster Codex. The other two families also stood up, sheathing their weapons. They were waiting for the signal from their Family Heads.

Yan Xueyi didn’t know what happened and flinched as the killing intent from the four Great Families overwhelmed her. Her complexion paled instantly, but the pressure instantly lifted from her. As if there was a barrier that protected her from those intense killing intentions.

Bing Ruohan quickly shielded Yan Xueyi and pulled her veil, "Don’t fight him, Alliance Leader Zhong! You—" Her face lost its color as an overwhelming force forced her to her knees.

Her whole body became stiff and heavy just because of a hand on her shoulder. Her body was freezing cold; that bone-chilling sensation went through to her bones. Then a cold voice entered her ears, "I have warned you, Bing Ruohan! The moment you join us, your action should benefit him, not be a hindrance, let alone helping his enemy!"

Bing Ruohan breathed raggedly, her feet frozen, including the blood inside. She could no longer feel her feet. It happened in less than a minute. It shocked her because with her cultivation technique, she should not be frozen so easily.

Avyn’s words rang in her mind. She was being reminded about their hidden goal for this visit. Yan Xueyi might not know anything, but she was briefed. Tang Shaoyang wanted to fight and hurt the Alliance Leader, then used the Alliance Leader as bait to lure the Heaven Founder.

She knew that Tang Shaoyang didn’t have the intention to destroy the Murim Alliance. However, she still acted out because the Alliance Leader Zhong had been kind and helped the Ice Palace a lot.

Avyn looked toward Yan Xueyi, "Close your eyes, kid!"

Yan Xueyi didn’t dare to disobey everything that happened to her. Especially when she met those cold gazes. She closed her eyes and heard a scream, and she recognized the voice. It was Sister Ruohan’s voice. She wanted to open her eyes, but then she recalled those cold eyes.

Avyn plucked off Bing Ruohan’s entire right arm from the shoulder. It was not even frozen as blood spurted out. Bing Ruohan screamed in pain as her body fell forward.

Her mind told her to fight back, but her heart told her to stay still. She didn’t expect such a strong reaction from Avyn, but then Avyn’s cold voice entered her ear.

Then her hand dropped right before her eyes. She didn’t expect that Avyn would go this far. It felt like she was so close to death’s door.

"Next time will be uglier than this, Bing Ruohan, but I hope this is the last time I have to do this!"

Tang Shaoyang took out a regeneration potion and threw the vial at Avyn, who caught it without looking. Meanwhile, Bing Lianxin quickly came over to stop the bleeding and preserve the hand.

"Don’t worry about her hand! Give this to her! Or she can live with one hand, so she will think twice before doing something."

Bing Lianxin caught the vial and didn’t understand what Avyn meant. Preserving the hand right away would increase the chance of re-attaching the hand. She thought Avyn wanted Ruohan to live with one hand, but the next sentence didn’t make sense.

She was confused but listened to the order. Bing Ruohan really could not think of anything right now aside from the pain and the fear that kept growing inside her. The realization of how Avyn easily handled her terrified her. She felt like she would not be able to do anything even if she tried to fight back there.

She drank the liquid inside the vial with Bing Lianxin’s help. Her whole body was still heavy and still. She was at her limit not to collapse.

Avyn took action because she knew that Tang Shaoyang would not do anything to her, even though Bing Ruohan went against his order. That was not limited to Bing Ruohan, but also the other women. The same happened with Ouyang Biya, and it was Zara who stepped up back then.

This time, she would be the one who acted on behalf of Tang Shaoyang. He had a soft spot for a woman. As long as they didn’t cross too far beyond the line, he would not do anything but just scold them.

That was when everyone in the hall witnessed the miracle as they saw Bing Ruohan’s right hand grow back. Bing Lianxin and Bing Ruohan were shocked as well. Regrowing the hand was a miracle work, but for the hand to grow back so fast was beyond shock for them.
