Chapter 1322: Are You Drunk?

Xiang Shaoyun did not spend too much time at the Xiang Clan, and he went back to the Ziling Sect with Purple Lightning Marquis. Ji Honglei, who had been keeping watch at Xiang Shaoyun's residence within the clan, knew that Xiang Shaoyun had returned. However, his departure without even visiting the residence caused her expression to turn bleak. She gazed into the distance and sighed, "Am I going to remain a widow my entire life?"

She couldn't help but shed tears. After sobbing for a bit, she vowed, "I need to become strong. I don't want to remain a widow. I can still be helpful to him!"

She then resolutely entered the cultivation room in the residence. Xiang Shaoyun was completely unaware of Ji Honglei's thoughts. He was still fully engrossed in his joy of reuniting with Purple Lightning Marquis.

They were able to return to the Ziling Sect through the teleportation portal, which meant that the two teleportation portals had connected successfully. Xiang Shaoyun immediately called Devouring Ghost over. Devouring Ghost had just returned from the Brightflower Chamber with Tuoba Wan'er. He rushed over the moment he heard that Xiang Shaoyun was asking for him.

When he arrived at the grand hall and saw Purple Lightning Marquis, he said, trembling, "Y-you're Big Brother Purple Lightning?"

"Yes, I'm Purple Lightning. But I can't recognize your current appearance," said Purple Lightning Marquis with a sigh.

He had heard from Xiang Shaoyun that Devouring Ghost had changed to a new body. His emotions became complicated upon seeing Devouring Ghost's current look.

"I was too useless," said Devouring Ghost in a guilty manner.

"It's not your fault. I was the only one who had escaped those fellows. It's already good that you could survive. We'll have our revenge before long," said Purple Lightning Marquis with a sinister glint in his eyes.

"That's right! All those bastards from back then will die a terrible death!" said Devouring Ghost furiously.

Sighing, Xiang Shaoyun said, "We'll definitely have our revenge, but not now. Devouring Ghost, Scarlet Flame, and I need to return to our peak strength or become even stronger before we can think of revenge. Otherwise, forget it. We were too egotistical back then, completely unaware of how strong those superpowers were."

"That's right. Apart from cultivating in silence all these years, I have also been observing those organizations. Their strength is beyond our imagination. Without reaching the peak of the Rebirth Realm, we have a slim chance of getting our revenge," said Purple Lightning Marquis.

"Um. Forget about all that for now. Let's go find Scarlet Flame. It's time for us brothers to have a reunion," said Xiang Shaoyun excitedly.

Just as they were about to leave, Purple Lightning Marquis raised his brow and said, "Someone is here looking for trouble."

Sure enough, several figures had appeared from the void outside the Ziling Sect. Since they could travel through space, it was clear they were Heaven Battling Realm cultivators.

Their leader was none other than Yu Youcheng, who had had a conflict with Xiang Shaoyun in the Devil Domain. Also with him were four other Heaven Battling Realm cultivators. They were all in the late-stage Heaven Battling Realm, and one was even a Great Saint. There weren't many of them, but they were each an elite among elites. They had enough strength that numbers no longer mattered.

"Xiang Shaoyun, show yourself, or your Ziling Sect will be flattened," Yu Youcheng's voice rang out.

"Who dares to intrude upon our Ziling Sect?" shouted someone from within the sect.

The sect members wanted to rush out, but Xiang Shaoyun stopped them. "Everyone, remain where you are. I shall personally deal with these people."

He then flew out with Purple Lightning Marquis and Devouring Ghost. In the past, Xiang Shaoyun would have naturally been afraid if his enemies had come knocking. Now that he had Purple Lightning Marquis by his side, even the Di Clan would have to think twice before coming for him.

"Xiang Shaoyun, I only have one question. Are you willing to give up on our holy maiden, Yu Caidie?" questioned Yu Youcheng.

"What if I say no?" said Xiang Shaoyun.

"The Ziling Sect will be flattened," replied Yu Youcheng unyieldingly.

"The Yu Clan is still as cocky as ever. Too bad you guys still haven't learned to use your brains," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.

"You're still so cocky before your death? Die!" shouted Yu Youcheng murderously.

Just as he was about to attack, the Yu Clan's Great Saint said, "There's no rush, Youcheng. Let me talk with them." His gaze landed on Purple Lightning Marquis. "Who is this, if I may ask?"

The Great Saint wasn't blind, after all. People with his strength could still sense how extraordinary Purple Lightning Marquis was. He could see through the cultivation of both Xiang Shaoyun and Devouring Ghost, but Purple Lightning Marquis, who looked like a youngster, was shrouded in mystery. He suspected that Purple Lightning Marquis was a super expert hiding his strength.

"Are you worthy of knowing my name?" replied Purple Lightning Marquis indifferently.

The simple reply caused all the people from the Yu Clan to show unsightly expressions. The Great Saint was the strongest in their group. If even he wasn't worthy, what about the others?

"Kid, you're looking for death!" A different Saint from the Yu Clan ran out of patience. With a roar, he sent a palm attack at Purple Lightning Marquis.

The Great Saint hesitated slightly and decided not to stop the attack. He also wanted to see if the person beside Xiang Shaoyun was really that strong or if he was only putting up an act. Just as the attack was about to land, Purple Lightning Marquis abruptly widened his eyes, and two lightning bolts burst out of his eyes. Before the attacker could even react, his entire body was torched black.

The people from the Yu Clan were shocked. The Great Saint hurriedly grabbed his injured companion. Upon sensing the terrifying remnant energy on his companion's body, he cried out with a trembling voice, "R-rebirth Realm!"

His companions were all stunned by his words. Who would have guessed that a man that young was a Rebirth Realm expert? Immediately, they felt a chill in the depths of their hearts.

"Th-that's not possible, right?" Completely stupefied, Yu Youcheng found it hard to believe that the man was a Rebirth Realm expert.

"Overlord, shall I get rid of them?" asked Purple Lightning Marquis as he licked his lips.

"For Caidie's sake, allow them to scram. I'll personally pay the Yu Clan a visit," said Xiang Shaoyun as he waved his hand.

He disliked the Yu Clan, but he still wished to keep the peace. After all, the Yu Clan also had their own Rebirth Realm expert. They shouldn't be too reckless yet. The visitors hurriedly scrambled off, not daring to say even one extra word.
