The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 110: Household of the Fan family

The two golden-crowned eagles of the Lost Forest were renowned demons which had achieved Petty Consummation of the Qi-Gathering, and even the Chu royal household that controlled the Western Chu Ridge could do nothing about them. The imperial court of Yunyang country had even sent some adepts who had achieved Great Consummation of the Qi-Gathering to deal with the two eagles, but to no avail. In fact, among those in the party, with the lowest skill being a level-nine adept, many of them did not make it back. Since then, the fearsomeness of the two eagles was known all around the Chu royal city.

Now, seeing the young man in white stand on one golden-crowned eagle while being escorted by the other eagle, the group of people who had gathered in the Tang family courtyard was shocked. This time, they were even more amazed than when the Tang family chief had treated the young man so respectfully.

“Our Yang family... has lost a great fortune!” cried Yang Yunji, chief of the grand Yang family. Although he had already been extremely regretful about kicking Yang Zixi out of the family, he had still tried to hide his emotions. But now, his face was filled with regret. The more outstanding that young man, the greater his regret.

“Chief, I am so sorry,” said Ren Qiong, the head elder of the grand Ren family, as he faced Ren Tianhang sadly, his face twitching slightly.

Ren Tianhang, the chief of the grand Ren family, shook his head as he smiled bitterly.

“He... he somehow managed to overcome the golden-crowned eagles?” Head Elder of the tycoon Shi family, Shi Yu, still looked incredulous. It was unbelievable that the young man could somehow defeat the two golden-crowned eagles, the kings of the Lost Forest. “If he really is from the lowly Yunfeng prefecture... then what secret must he be hiding? How valuable must that treasure he received be?” As he thought of that, Shi Yu’s eyes shimmered.

After Zhou Donghuang had left, although the banquet continued, everyone had lost all interest.

Yang Zixi and Fu were treated eagerly by Tang Liunian and only left after their meal.

The elders from the three premier tycoon families left soon after Zhou Donghuang, rushing back to their respective homes to report what they had just seen. The appearance of a young man who had the power to overcome the two golden-crowned eagles of the Lost Forest meant that a great force had come to the Western Chu Ridge... whichever family received that powerful force would surely be able to rise in power!

...

Tianxiu City was as large as the prefecture capital of a typical intermediate-level prefecture and much bigger than the capital of an inferior prefecture. As the city was located at the edge of the central ridge, even though Lu Qinghu was riding a ferghana force without any breaks, he took a full ten days to rush from Tianxiu City to the Chu royal city.

But with the speed of the golden-crowned eagles, and unobstructed flight in the air, Tianxiu City, was in view by the next afternoon.

“We’ve reached?” Seeing the city, Lu Qinghu was stunned. He never imagined that he would reach the city within less than a day. He had taken a full ten days previously on horseback.

“Young Master Donghuang, Freezing Wing, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng have stayed in Tianxiu City to watch the Fan family household and gather information about Madam and Lady Yunlu... shall we meet up with them first?” Seeing the eagles about to reach the skies above the city, Lu Qinghu asked Zhou Donghuang respectfully.

“No need,” replied Zhou Donghuang, shaking his head. “Just find someone and ask where the Fan family household is.”

Zhou Donghuang turned to the other golden-crowned eagle and said in demon tongue, “Little Gold, you find someone and bring him here... be careful, I want him alive.”

“Young Master, you want me to catch someone, but not kill him... that’s too difficult,” Little Gold responded. His talons were so sharp that it would be almost impossible not to grab a person without killing him.

Zhou Donghuang glanced at him and said slowly, “I give you ten breaths, if after that time, I don’t see the person, I’ll cut off a month’s supply of the qi-gathering elixir.”

Whoosh!!

With that, Little Gold streaked away like a black bolt of lightning, straight towards the city.

After seven or eight breaths, Little Gold returned with a teenager within his claws. The teenager was pale and shaking all over. He had been strolling along the street when suddenly, a massive black eagle rushed down from above and took him to the skies.

“Young Master, when I flew down, he was the best dressed in the whole street... he probably knows more, so I grabbed him,” said Little Gold. Thankfully the teenager did not understand its words. Otherwise, he would definitely never take to the streets in fancy clothes again.

“Do you know where the Fan family is?” Zhou Donghuang asked the teenager calmly.

“Ah?” The teenager had yet to recover from his shock.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll get it to drop you,” said Zhou Donghuang.

The teenager’s face turned stone cold as he hurriedly pointed into the distance. “The Fan family household is on the east side of the city, along the eastern border... the biggest house there is the Fan family household.”

“Thanks,” replied Zhou Donghuang as he nodded. He then called to Big Gold and sped towards the East. Before leaving, he instructed Little Gold to release the teenager, then meet them at the Fan family household.

Soon, the teenager was returned to the streets.

...

Seeing Little Gold rise to the skies and fly towards the Fan family household, the teenager was still stunned.

“The black eagle that captured the Hua second young master had a golden crown... it really looked like the mythical golden-crowned eagle of the Lost Forest,” muttered a bystander not far away.

“Now that you mentioned it, it really does look like what the legends said... if that really is a golden-crowned eagle, the Hua second young master is really lucky to be alive!”

“The Hua second young master is really lucky indeed.”

“Although the Hua family is a tycoon family, the two golden-crowned eagles of the Lost Forest are demons with Petty Consummation of the Qi-Gathering. Even if he had been killed, the Hua family would not have the power to avenge his death.”

...

The teenager was none other than the second young master of the tycoon Hua family. As he was not arrogant and treated both the elderly and young kindly, he was well-loved by the residents of Tianxiu City.

“Golden-crowned eagle?” Hearing the commotion, the teenager did a double-take as his eyes widened. “Those two eagles really looked just like the mythical golden-crowned eagles of the Lost Forest.”

But soon, his face changed. “That young man and the middle-aged man standing on the eagle... who were they? The golden-crowned eagle became their stead? And that young man asked for directions to the Fan family household, he doesn’t seem like he’s paying them a friendly visit! Are they seeking trouble?”

...

The Fan family household was much larger than the Tang family household of the Chu royal city. Of course, this was also because this was Tianxiu City, which had more resources and land. As a tycoon family, the Fan family could easily occupy a huge plot of land.

Within the household, there was a small dungeon used to hold disciples who had made mistakes.

Now, within a cell in the dungeon, a small eight or nine-year-old girl was tied to the wall. Her body was bruised and scarred, and her breathing was weak.

The cell door opened with a clang. A mean-looking old lady walked in and squinted at the young girl, asking, “She hasn’t talked yet?”

“Aunty Xin, this girl has kept her mouth shut. Even if we torture her to death, she may not say anything,” replied the middle-aged lady in the cell. In her hands, she held a thick whip that was dripping blood.

“Hmph!” snorted the old lady. “In that case, change our methods... bring the woman that was with her here and torture the woman in front of her. Even if she does not fear death, I want to see if she cares about that woman!” As she spoke, an icy cold glint flashed across her eyes.

“Old lady Xin, if you dare to touch my mother, I, Yun Lu, will not let you off even if I die!!” screamed the young girl. Her originally muted eyes now shone with a murderous glint.

“Oh? Looks like this girl cares about that woman,” said the old lady with a laugh.

The middle-aged lady laughed and said, “Aunty Xin, I will bring the woman here right away.”

“No!!” cried the young girl. Her eyes shone with fury as she screamed, “If you let my mother go, I’ll tell you where it is!”
