“San-er, no matter whose fault this matter was, you should put down your weapon first. If you kill the Torture Chamber Elder now, no matter how right you were in the beginning, and no matter how many grievances you had suffered since the beginning, you would only be in the wrong at the end! Listen to your Fifth Grandfather’s advice, put down your weapon before this matter takes a permanent turn for the worse! Elder Brother Hai (Clan Master) is not around and the three Grand Elders are in isolation. A-Shan (Yue Shan – First Master) is the acting Clan Leader right now, you wouldn’t be able to go against him with brute force! Listen to your Fifth Grandfather, put down your weapons and wait for me here while I call Elder Brother Hai back…If you feel that you are right and are not afraid of arguing with the others, Fifth Grandfather will support you guys. However, you must not kill the Torture Chamber Elder. He might just be another pawn. You are a smart kid. I think that you should understand what I just said!” The deer-riding elder immediately advised Yue Yang.
(Ignis: Yue Yang is addressed as San-er as he is the Third Young Master. It is a more affectionate way of addressing the younger generations)
“I was once an orphan, as well as trash, bullied by everybody. I had no support and in order to survive, I had to grit my teeth and endure. However, after Fourth Mother took me in, I once again had a mother and a warm little family! Since then, I was determined that if anyone was to harm my home, or my mother, even if he was the Emperor, I will definitely kill him!” Yue Yang’s gaze was ice cold, and continued: “Today, let me, this trashy Third Young Master, tell the world using blood. It’s fine to bully me, so long as your fist is bigger than mine, and you have sufficient reason to do so! But, whoever thinks of harming my family members, I will kill without regard!”
Yue Yang lifted his blood coated Crescent Blade, and with a determined gaze, slashed it downwards.
Fresh blood surged from neck of the Torture Chamber Elder, who had been on the brink of death. The deformed Torture Chamber Elder’s head rolled a few metres away on the ground.
As the Deer-riding old man saw this, he bitterly shut his eyes in grief and shook his head, sighing deeply: “San Er, I know that you feel indignant, but is this really worth the trouble? With this one slash of yours, the situation has become difficult to salvage!”
The demon-like Yue Yang who was soaked with blood from head to toe started laughing maniacally, “As a dignified man, would I still be called a man if I couldn’t even protect my own family? Don’t even mention this Torture Chamber Elder who absolutely deserved his death and is unable to pay for his crimes by dying. Even if it a more powerful person, or the strongest Ranker, I would still have killed him without mercy! Whoever wishes to touch a strand of hair on my family would need to step over my dead body first!”
On hearing what her son said, the beautiful woman was instantly moved and began to cry loudly.
Even the usually obstinate little lady, Yue Bing, hid her face and cried. Tears fell like pearl beads from a broken string, through her fingers.
As the deer-riding elder heard what Yue Yang said, he nodded his head and sighed. It seemed that he felt very vexed. Finally, he steadied his nerves, and advised: “San-er, since you have decided, Fifth Grandfather will not say much. I hope that you will remain here and wait for Elder Brother Hai to return and take charge of the situation. San Er, your temper is like your father’s, but being too aggressive is not good. Back then if he had not… You should all just wait here, and not respond to anyone’s provocation or fall into others’ traps. I will immediately go and find Elder Brother Hai!”
“Thanks. However, what I, this useless Xiao San, wants to do right now is not to await death but to use my strength to tell the Clan to not treat our tolerance as our weakness! Today, the Fourth Branch will not tolerate your tyranny anymore. I want to bring Fourth Mother, Bing-er, and Shuang-er to the Yue Clan Castle! It does not matter if the Yue Clan welcomes us or not, we will still return home and take back the pride that belongs to us… I have said it earlier, regardless of whom it may be, I will treat those that blocked our path as enemies and kill them. Let’s see who has the guts to stop me from bringing Fourth Mother home!” Yue Yang bellowed loudly. The Yue Clan Guards that were watching from a surrounding distance were so frightened that they began to flee in all directions.
“If you are like this, how could you go to the Yue Clan Castle? San-er, did you know that some of the Clan’s members actually desire for you to do so!” The deer-riding elder painstakingly continued to advise Yue Yang.
“It does not matter if it’s against a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, I will still charge! My Fourth Mother was very kind and forbearing, but I, as her son, will not simply stand
