Chapter 849: First Victim Of The Cloud Plane

(Young master POV)

I will definitely find that bastard and kill him! How dare he humiliate me like this?!

My grandfather is the Sect Master of the Sacred Flame Sect! We may not be one of the top five Grand Sects but we are still the top ten! Who the hell does that guy think he is?!

The only reason he got me to this state is the fact that he did a surprise attack on me! If this was a proper fight, I definitely would have stomped him into the ground!

After several hours of being stuck in the ground, my incompetent guards finally dug me out of the ground. It was made slower by the fact that the bastard somehow made the earth around me completely impossible to be manipulated using Techniques, something that I have never heard of anyone doing before.

It must be done using some kind of treasure on him! If I can beat him and get this treasure, I'll even be able to defeat Practitioners above my Realm!

"I'll kill him! I'll definitely kill him!" I swore, stamping my foot in frustration after I got out of the hole.

"Young master... Perhaps it would be a better idea if we just forget about this?" One of my guards suggested.

I turned to him and grabbed him by the collar, "Forget about this? He humiliated me! How can I forget about this?"

"That is... It's clear he's someone powerful to be able to toss us around like that... He may belong to the top five Sects and we can't offend them..."

I shook the guard angrily, "Do you even see his robes?! Does it look like he belongs to any of the top five Sects?! Of course he doesn't! And who doesn't know the big shots in this world?! He most definitely isn't one of them!"

"But... It's still true that he's monstrously strong..."

"So what?! My grandfather is already in the early levels of the Immortal Realm! There's no way someone like him can stand up to my grandfather!"

"I... I understand, young master... But maybe you might want to just reconsider a bit in case he's really a hidden expert? We can befriend him and still get benefits that way."

"Ha?! You're asking me to bow my head to that bastard?! Why do I even need to do that?! Once grandfather gets rid of him, we'll be able to enjoy all the benefits he had! I'll also take those girls and make them mine!"

"Ummm... The girls are also quite strong as well, young master... They managed to overwhelm all of us instantly..."

"Ha, even better! It's obvious they're only following the men after being coerced to! I just need to seduce them with my charm and they'll switch over to my side in an instant!"

"I... I don't think it's that easy, young master..."

I furrowed my brows at this guard in front of me. You are but a mere guard assigned to accompany me by grandfather, who do you think you are to argue with me?! All of your cultivation levels are also not higher than mine!

I threw him on the ground and unsheathed my sword.

Faster than he could react, I swung my sword in an arc and decapitated him, his head flying through the air and landing a short distance away.

Trash will always be trash! Useless!

I turned to the other guards, "Anyone else have any complaints?"

All of them shook their heads.

Hmph, that's how it's supposed to be! Everything would be much more perfect if people could just submit to their betters!

I kicked at the saddlebags, "Well what are you waiting for?! We lost our horses so pick up the bags and let's go! I want to go and catch that bastard and kill him in his sleep!!"

My guards quickly picked up the bags and stored them in their storage rings before following after me. I had to make up for the time they spent slowly digging me out so we had to move fast, otherwise we wouldn't be able to catch that bastard.

Just as the sky darkened, one of my guards called out to me.

"Young master... Shouldn't we rest now? We have been running for half a day already..."

I scowled at him, "Rest? Do you see that bastard anywhere? If we rest now we'll never catch him before he reaches the Royale! And when he does, I'll have to find him when he goes inside the portal and someone else might kill him before I do!"

"But everyone is tired now, young master... Even if we were to catch up with him, we might be too exhausted to fight..."

"Hmph! A little running and you're already tired?! You call yourselves my guards?!"

"That... We also had to dig you out, young master..."

"Ha? That shouldn't even be an excuse! If you're tired, fine! Just go back! I don't need any of your help anyway!"

"But young master, weeeee..."

I frowned at the guard. Why did he suddenly start talking so weirdly? Is he trying to infuriate me? I really should just leave them here and go off on my own! Who knows where that bastard is right now?

Just as I was thinking about that, the guard's head suddenly slid off, followed by the heads of the other guards behind him.

Blood sprayed like a fountain from their decapitated necks before their headless bodies toppled over.

It took me a moment to understand what was going on and I fell over on the ground in shock.

What? What happened? Why did they suddenly lose their heads? Is it a curse? What's going on?! What the hell is happening?!

"Ara, ara? I thought the spoiled brat would start screaming... How boring..." A voice sighed.

I turned behind me to see the girls that were accompanying the bastard standing there casually.

I thought the bastard was here as well but it seems like he was not in the group, neither was the other guy and one of the girls seemed to be missing too.

A smile crossed my face, "Oh! You girls came for me? I knew it! You girls decided I was a better man to follow than that idiot right? No need to worry, I'll take good care of all of you!"

I tried to stand up to welcome them, only to realise I could not feel my legs.

Looking down, two bloody stumps greeted me as my legs were cut off at the knees. What's more... It looks like my arms were also severed as well?

Eh? What's going on? Why?

"Delusional even at this point..." The one with the golden hair muttered while shaking her head. "Just so you know, we're not letting you off easily for insulting our Master like that... And we have the entire night to take our frustrations out on you."

The one with white hair and fox tails behind her stepped towards me, "Kukuku... You'll serve as the perfect specimen for us to test our strength on as well~ I hope you can at least entertain us a little~"

Wait... I don't understand... They're here to pledge themselves to me and become my harem, right?

... Right?
