Chapter 541: Reentering Wake City
After Jian Chen and his group left Lore City, the Xiao family had all gathered within the halls of their clan compound in Huangge City. The head of the Xiao family sat in the topmost position while several dozen youths kneeled down on the other side. If Jian Chen and Tie Ta were here, they would be able to confirm that these youths were the very same ones that tried to kidnap Qiu Yue from the village.
"A report for the lord. We've made a concise investigation, and these are the ones that offended the fourth master of the Changyang clan." One of the bulkier looking men cupped his hands as he gave his report.
The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yun, stared dangerously at the few men. His frosty eyes made the youths afraid to respond or even look up.
"Your forgiveness, my lord! Please forgive us! We didn't know that they were men from the Changyang clan. We only knew that a female villager was rather pretty, and we wished to have her wed to the young master. We did all of this with the young master in mind!"
"My lord, please spare us! We won't dare do such a thing again..."
"My lord, please give us one more chance, please forgive us this once..."
The youths all knew that they had invited disaster upon themselves. Thus they knelt down and wept for forgiveness.
Snorting, Xiao Yun replied, "Drag them out and break both their legs."
"Yes!" The middle-aged men nearby replied. Then calling for several guards, they dragged out the youths to break their legs.
"Tie them up and prepare them as gifts. We shall head to that village to apologize." Xiao Yun commanded. For the grand and mighty head of the Xiao family to personally come to apologize to a mountain village, showed just how importantly he viewed this matter.
......
The Cross Mountains was the Tian Yuan Continent's largest magical beast mountain range. It traversed across the entire continent, bisecting the continent in two. The mountain range took up a sizeable portion of land.
An endless amount of magical beasts existed within the Cross Mountains. A veritable paradise for magical beasts to congregate at, many of the Class 6 Magical Beasts on the continent lived there. Very few of them lived anywhere else. Furthermore, legend had it that within the depths of the mountains existed several Class 7 Magical Beasts. As a result, the Cross Mountains were designated a forbidden zone for humanity. Any human that tried to enter the Cross Mountains would never find their way back alive.
So, the very depths of the Cross Mountains have existed as a forbidden zone for thousands and thousands of years. Even Heaven Saint Masters were afraid of taking a single step into this land.
At this moment, within the depths of the Cross Mountains, stood a three meter tall middle-aged man. This man had a very stalwart in physique. The veins in his body glowed with a golden color. His copper-like muscles bulged as a sign of well-development, and the only clothes he wore was a single pair of shorts that stopped short of his knees.
Both of the man's hands drooped down as he stood with hesitation in this area. His eyes flickered with an uncertain light as if unsure of something. Right where he was standing was the common boundary between the abyss of the mountains and the outer world itself.
"The entire Cross Mountains have been searched already, but the Winged Tiger God cannot be found. Even Rum Guinness' presence has completely vanished. It appears that she has already brought the Winged Tiger God from Cross Mountains a long time ago and into the territory of man. If we wish to kill the Winged Tiger God, then we will have to step into that territory." The man muttered to himself with knotted eyebrows.
