2090 Jiu Yin Escapes, Maybe There Are Unexpected Gains

"Jiu Yin, what the hell is wrong with you?!" 

Hei Xuan looked at Jiu Yin with the coldest gaze. His dragon aura spread, and it was so fierce that it felt like an erupting volcano.

Jiu Yin had a grim look on his face as well. "He killed my son. He must answer to me."

"What?"

Hei Xuan looked at Chu Kuangren with surprise.

Chu Kuangren nodded. "I killed his son, but his son started it. It's not my fault."

"Oh, I see. In that case, there's nothing wrong with that." Hei Xuan nodded.

Jiu Yin almost exploded with rage when he heard the Black Dragon.

'Nothing wrong? You're not the one who lost a son!'

Jiu Yin was furious. The Grand Dao energy in him surged terrifyingly, but then Yu Yan arrived.

Seeing Yu Yan, he roared, "Yu Yan, you must say something! This human killed my son! You must punish him for me!"

Yu Yan found himself in a difficult position. "I don't think I can make any decisions here."

"What? This is the Black Flame City. If you can't make any decisions, who else can? Yu Yan, are you trying to protect this person!"

"Brother Jiu Yin, this person possesses the Darkness Ruler Amulet. As one of the Darkness Tribe, I must answer to his command, or I will be defying the Ruler's order."

"You…" 

Jiu Yin was anxious. 

He had heard of the Darkness Ruler Amulet before. However, he did not expect his son to die at the hands of someone that complicated. 

His expression shifted.

Then, he heard Chu Kuangren say the most shocking words.

"Darkness Tribe, I order you to eliminate Jiu Yin right away!"

Shocked, Jiu Yin looked at the Darkness Tribe cultivators around him and felt goosebumps all over his body.

If all of them attacked together, even he might not escape alive.

"Brother Chu, is there a misunderstanding? Let's calm down and talk," Yu Yan said.

He was trying to dissolve the conflict. 

Chu Kuangren simply stared at him. "What's wrong? Are you defying my order?"

"I…" Yu Yan hesitated.

Hei Xuan, however, did not hesitate at all. He disliked Jiu Yin from the start, so with the order from Chu Kuangren, he darted out and unleashed his domineering dragon aura.

"Jiu Yin, time to die!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The fight broke out and instantly shadowed the place.

Having been surrounded by the Darkness Tribe, Jiu Yin knew he would slip into a disadvantage as the battle dragged on.

Hence, he pulled a feint and decided to escape the battlefield. 

Before he left, he glared at Chu Kuangren and Yu Yan.

"I won't forget this!" 

Yu Yan knew the situation had gone out of control.

His plan did not only fail to kill Chu Kuangren and seize the Darkness Ruler Amulet, but he even made an enemy out of Jiu Yin.

"Hunt Jiu Yin down!" Yu Yan said coldly. He wanted to lead a team for pursuit.

Chu Kuangren said, "You don't need to go after him."

Yu Yan was aggrieved when he heard the order. 

It was Chu Kuangren who ordered them to kill Jiu Yin, yet now he was stopping them from pursuing.

He must be taking advantage of the Darkness Ruler Amulet.

However, Yu Yan was in no position to defy Chu Kuangren in front of his people.

After Jiu Yin left, the Darkness Tribe cultivators went up to him and asked him how he got the Darkness Ruler Amulet.

Chu Kuangren was asked many times about the Darkness Ruler Amulet.

As he had no interest in answering, he left Hei Xuan in charge of speaking.

In a palace in Black Flame City, Yu Yan sat at his table, aggrieved.

He slammed his hands on the table made out of Immortal Metal, and it was crushed to pieces.

"Damn it. We accidentally offended Jiu Yin and made an enemy. He might be a problem for us in the future."

"It's Chu Kuangren's fault."

"Forget it. I expected this as well. Most importantly, how's Chu Kuangren's strength? What did you find out?"

"I'm almost certain that he has mastered three thousand Daoist laws. He might be an Embodier, but he can fight a Life Mastery Grand Dao cultivator with ease. However, he's no match for a Supreme Spirit Grand Dao like Jiu Yin," Yu Nie told his father what he saw.

Yu Yan nodded. "It's more or less similar to my guess, which means he's not too difficult to deal with."

It was already astonishing for someone at the Embodier Realm to wield the power of a Grand Dao Realm.

Yu Yan dared not imagine what lay beyond either.

Meanwhile, at Chu Kuangren and Hei Xuan's place, Hei Xuan asked about what happened to Jiu Yin.

Chu Kuangren told Hei Xuan honestly about what happened.

"After you left, Yu Nie brought Chi Yun to challenge me, and after I killed him, Jiu Yin came. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Hei Xuan's expression went blank.

He might be foolish, but he was not stupid.

Chu Kuangren fought Jiu Yin for a bit, so he should have noticed the aura when the fight started.

However, Hei Xuan only noticed it after the Darkness Tribe cultivators moved out.

Maybe Yu Yan had done something to veil the commotion, such as adding restriction seals around the palace where they were drinking at. The restriction seals were used to block noise and commotion from outside.

It was to stop him from saving Chu Kuagnren.

If the Darkness Tribe's cultivators did not respond to the Darkness Ruler Amulet, Yu Yan might have caused a catastrophe, and he might not even know it thus far.

"Are you saying Yu Yan has ill agendas?"

"The Dark Demonic Ruler isn't here, but the Darkness Ruler Amulet can command the normal cultivators of the Darkness Tribe. However, Yu Yan is one of the Eight Great Heretics, so I believe he wouldn't submit that easily," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

"The rule regarding the Darkness Amulet was set by the Dark Demonic Ruler himself. Is Yu Yan trying to defy the Dark Demonic Ruler?"

"Ha! The Ruler has been gone for so many years. Even the old Hongmeng Era has passed. How loyal do you think Yu Yan is? Not everyone is as straightforward as you."

"Hahah! Are you calling me loyal?"

Hei Xuan scratched his head, looking happy.

Chu Kuangren rolled his eyes. 

Hei Xuan was just gullible, not extremely loyal.

"Aside from others, if Yu Yan has an ill agenda, I will not spare him," Hei Xuan said coldly.

Even though it was Yu Yan who sent his men to unseal him and he knew Yu Yan well enough to call him a friend, he was loyal only to the Dark Demonic Ruler.

Those who tried to defy the rules set by the Dark Demonic Ruler shall face his wrath.

"Then, why did you kill Chi Yun when you knew it was Yu Yan's plan?" Hei Xuan asked.

If only Chu Kuangren spared Chi Yun, Jiu Yin might not be so angry that he wanted to take Chu Kuangren's life.

"It's simple. He attacked, and I killed him. Besides…" 

Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, was not overly bothered. He wore a grin on his face and said, "I want to play this game with the father and son, and I would like to see what kind of tricks they can pull off."

"Damn. I'll have to give it to you. An Embodier like you going against Jiu Yin and Yu Yan? Aren't you afraid that you might die in the process?" Hei Xuan was doubtful.

"It's more interesting that way, isn't it?" Chu Kuangren smiled.

He had a feeling that Jiu Yin wanted more than the Darkness Ruler Amulet. The man must be planning something.

Maybe Chu Kuangren might be in for a harvest.
