I Am Overlord

Chapter 1297: That's My Nephew

The old woman was obviously requesting the impossible from Xiang Shaoyun.

Before Xiang Shaoyun could say anything, Devil Concubine said, "You act like your Yu Clan is the number one clan in the world. The man that I, Devil Concubine, chose does not care for you."

At this time, an even stronger group approached. They knelt down before Devil Concubine and greeted respectfully, "First young lady."

They were all dressed in the same outfit. It was obvious they belonged to the same organization. There was even a powerful Saint among their ranks. From their attitude, it was clear Devil Concubine had an extraordinary background.

When the old woman saw them, her pupils shrank as she exclaimed, "You're from the Darkdevil Sect?"

The people around them trembled upon hearing that name. Fear filled their eyes when they looked at Devil Concubine. There were countless organizations of different sizes in the dominion, but only a few reigned above all others. The Darkdevil Sect was one such organization.

They were powerful beyond imagination. As a sect that had existed since ancient times, they had an incredibly deep foundation. The Yu Clan might be a powerful ancient clan, but even they feared a giant like the Darkdevil Sect. Devil Concubine's background had always been a mystery, and now it was finally revealed.

Yu Caidie felt a sense of crisis upon learning of her identity. It seemed that Devil Concubine could even freely decide on her own marriage, unlike her.

"Overlord, reveal your contribution points. As someone who had once defeated Dugu Qiubai and snatched first place, I believe you won't disappoint us this time either. Am I right?" said Devil Concubine confidently.

Although Xiang Shaoyun had only increased his cultivation level from third-stage to fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm over the past three years, Devil Concubine could feel that Xiang Shaoyun had become much stronger.

She was convinced that while Xiang Shaoyun was missing, he had gained a large number of contribution points. It shouldn't be hard for him to take first place. She didn't really care about his placement, but she wanted to see him slap the Yu Clan's face and help them sober up.

"Hehe, I want to see how capable he is as well," said the old woman with a sneer.

The moment she said that, someone else laughed and said, "Hehe, many dream of surpassing my young master, but such a person has yet to appear. I do hope that this young man is really capable enough to teach my young master that there is always someone stronger out there."

The person who had spoken was a sturdy middle-aged man. He was dressed in an old-fashioned yet elegant outfit, as though he had come from the past. This was a person shrouded in mystery. For some reason, Xiang Shaoyun could feel a slight sense of hostility coming from the man. The hostility was hidden well, but he had still managed to sense it.

"It's Brother Di Chuan. I was just about to visit you with my young lady," said the old woman politely.

The newcomer was none other than someone from Di Mie's side. From how courteous the Yu Clan was treating him, it was obvious he wasn't a nobody either.

When Xiang Shaoyun heard the man's name, he thought inwardly, Someone from the Di Clan?

If this person was really from the same clan as Di Lin, then the pressure on him would increase. From the amount of respect the Yu Clan was showing them, their strength was apparent. They could probably easily destroy the Ziling Sect if they wanted to. While Xiang Shaoyun was deep in thought, Tang Longfei arrived with his father.

"Lord governor," greeted many people.

Tang Zhan nodded at the surrounding people before walking toward Xiang Shaoyun. He said, "Shaoyun, you're finally back. If you were still missing, Longfei might have had me send someone down there to look for you."

Xiang Shaoyun saluted Tang Zhan and said, "Sorry for making you worried."

"I'm confident you won't die so easily," said Tang Zhan as he patted Xiang Shaoyun's shoulder.

His attitude made it clear he was here to support Xiang Shaoyun. A governor like Tang Zhan might seem unimportant, but there were only four Bloodsin Cities in the entire dominion. Regular governors were incomparable to a governor of one such city. Someone like him definitely had a background nobody could underestimate.

"Governor Tang, is this your nephew?" asked the old woman.

"Yes, this is my nephew. I see him as my own son," said Tang Zhan, making his stance clear.

His words filled Xiang Shaoyun's heart with warmth.

"I see. You better watch over him, then. Make sure he doesn't dream too big. My young lady is not meant for someone like him," said the old woman.

"You really think the women of your Yu Clan are so special? My clan's little ancestor could care less about your clan," an unhappy voice rang out.

Xiang Chenxi appeared from the crowd. Following behind him were True Martial Academy disciples and people from the Xiang Clan.

"Where did this kid come from? You dare disrespect our Yu Clan? Are you seeking death?" berated the old woman furiously.

Her aura erupted and descended upon Xiang Chenxi. But before her aura could reach him, someone from the Xiang Clan stepped forth and roared, "Audacious!"

"Tell me your name! Let me see if you're really someone we can't provoke!" asked the Yu Clan's Saint.

"Hehe. The Xiang Clan," said the Xiang Clan's Saint with a sneer.

"The Xiang Clan that had gone missing?" asked the old woman.

"Hmph!" The Xiang Clan Saint snorted unhappily.

"You actually dare to show yourself publicly? Are you not afraid of being attacked by everyone again?" said the old woman with a sneer.

"Our Xiang Clan was capable of erasing their courage through slaughter. What do we have to fear?" Xiang Shaoyun finally spoke. He then wrapped his arm around Yu Caidie and kissed her.

Yu Caidie did not resist. Instead, she reciprocated warmly. The old woman was infuriated. The Saint from the Di Clan also had an unsightly expression.

"Let's go. I'll show you my contribution points," said Xiang Shaoyun as he took out his contribution plate and approached a certain sleek boulder in the hall.

The boulder was responsible for inspecting and verifying one's contribution points. One only needed to press one's contribution plate against it to check one's points. Everyone waited, curious to see just how many points Xiang Shaoyun had obtained.
