Chapter 0906: The Black Cloud Gang

They had barely landed when they found themselves surrounded.

Yu Shutian seemed to realize what was happening and quickly said politely, "We are students of the Phantom Spirit Academy. We just landed from the sky and haven’t taken anything from here! We didn’t know this was your territory. Our apologies, please forgive us!"

There were dozens of burly men, five of whom were Martial Kings, while the rest were powerful Xuanwu Realm Martial Lords.

Despite being surrounded, Yu Shutian and the other young people showed no fear.

Ai Yuan glanced at the black-armored youth beside her and whispered, "Wu Fugui, aren’t you the grandson of the richest man in Hundred Tower City?"

Tong Qinxin also looked at her boyfriend and said, "Hua Feng, it’s your turn now! Are you really going to let Xiao Tian, a girl, be the only one speaking? How cowardly!"

Ling Xinyun even pushed her boyfriend forward and hissed, "Wei Tianan, isn’t your Wei family the top noble house in Hundred Tower City?"

The three privileged young men acted fearlessly.

Hua Feng said, "I come from the Hua family, and my father is the family head! Please show us some courtesy and let us have this area!"

Wei Tianan also shouted, "I’m from the Wei family! My grandfather is the strongest in the Wei family—a peak-level Emperor Wu! If you don’t want trouble, get out of here now!"

Wu Fugui laughed, "My grandfather is the wealthiest man in Hundred Tower City. You should know what happens when you cross the powerful!"

"Originally, we didn’t want to say anything, but with your attitude, we’ll have to discipline you!" the leading black-clad middle-aged man said coldly.

"You dare offend the families behind us?" Wei Tianan roared. "If you know what’s good for you, get lost now!"

Qin Yun, watching from behind, secretly curled his lips. He had thought these guys had some impressive backgrounds, but they seemed rather ordinary!

"Your insignificant families aren't worth fearing! If we chop you up here, do you think your family elders would ever find out? Besides, do you think we don’t have powerful backers too?" the black-clad man sneered.

These words made the three privileged youths grew uneasy.

Tong Qinxin shouted, "How powerful can your backers be? Do you dare offend their three noble families?"

The black-clad man roared, "Our boss is called Emperor Wu of Black Cloud! We are the Black Cloud Gang! Our gang has ten Emperor Wu-level experts—you must have heard of us! What makes your noble families so special and what about your richest men? Would you dare fight us to the death? You only cower and hide in Hundred Tower City, never daring to face us head-on!"

At the mention of the Black Cloud Gang, Yu Shutian and the others turned pale.

The Black Cloud Gang seemed infamous and terrifying!

Yu Shutian frowned slightly and said, "Respected warriors, we were in the wrong! We truly just landed and haven’t taken anything here. Please spare us inexperienced youths!"

The black-clad man said, "These young men and women just tried to intimidate us! What do you say about that?"

Yu Shutian glanced at them and whispered, "Hurry and apologize to these men!"

The three pairs, fearing the Black Cloud Gang’s notorious reputation, had no choice but to bow their heads and apologize.

"That guy over there, come here and kowtow in apology!" Hua Feng shouted at Qin Yun.

"I didn’t intimidate anyone. Why should I kowtow?" Qin Yun said.

Yu Shutian also said, "Hua Feng, Ah Yun did nothing wrong. He’s merely my page—I can apologize on his behalf!"

Wu Fugui said coldly, "No! We all apologized, but he didn’t. These gentlemen will surely be displeased! Besides, someone must kneel before them!"

Hearing this, Yu Shutian’s face showed clear disgust. She then looked at Tong Qinxin and the others, signaling them to dissuade the three privileged young men.

Wei Tianan also shouted at Qin Yun, "Come over quickly and bow down to apologize to these men!"

Qin Yun looked at the men in black and asked, "Do you think it's necessary for me to bow down and apologize to you?"

The leader of the black-clad men snorted and said, "Of course it's necessary! They've all apologized, but you haven't!"

"I didn't say anything!" Qin Yun retorted.

"But you're in my territory now!" The black-clad man's face darkened. "If you don't bow down and apologize, don't blame me if I get rough!"

Since Wei Tianan and the other two had already apologized, the black-clad man didn't dare to do anything more to them. However, he still wanted to salvage his pride, so he decided to make a servant kneel and apologize.

Yu Shutian quickly stepped in front of Qin Yun and said, "He's just a page. He didn't say anything earlier and hasn't offended you at all! If an apology is needed, I can apologize on his behalf!"

"Missy, if you kneel and apologize to us, that would be acceptable!" The black-clad man laughed loudly.

Yu Shutian gritted her teeth in frustration. Since Qin Yun was brought here by her, she couldn't let him suffer humiliation, so she had no choice but to kneel herself.

Seeing her about to kneel, Qin Yun quickly stepped forward to hold her up and shouted, "I'm not wrong—you don't need to kneel for me! Even if I were wrong, I wouldn't let a woman take the fall for me!"

Hua Feng yelled, "If you're so tough, then hurry up and kneel! Stop running your mouth!"

Qin Yun coldly stared at the black-clad man and said, "I'm not wrong, yet you're forcing me to kneel. You're the one at fault, and you're the one who deserves punishment!"

"Oh, a mere page dares to be so arrogant!" The black-clad man couldn't help but laugh. "This girl was even willing to kneel for you, yet you still want to act tough? Do you have a death wish?"

"You're the one with a death wish!" Qin Yun said. In a flash, his figure appeared behind the black-clad man.

Qin Yun kicked twice in an instant, striking the man's legs, then activated his Super Gravity.

Thud!

The black-clad man suddenly knelt on the ground—facing Yu Shutian!

A short dagger flashed in Qin Yun's hand as he pressed it against the man's head, coldly saying, "If my dagger moves just one more inch, you're dead!"

A stunned silence fell over the entire scene!

No one knew how Qin Yun had moved so fast, nor could they tell what his cultivation level was—yet he had easily overpowered a mid-level Martial King!

Wei Tianan and the other two were also shocked by Qin Yun's strength.

"Now, do you still want me to kneel?" Qin Yun asked the trembling black-clad man.

"You... just you wait! Our Emperor Wu will be here soon! When he arrives, you're all dead men!" the black-clad man bellowed.

Hua Feng angrily shouted at Qin Yun, "This is on you! Once their Emperor Wu arrives, we're all dead!"

Qin Yun said to Yu Shutian, "Miss Yu, you should leave first! I'll clean up here."

Yu Shutian quickly replied, "I won't go! I brought you here, and I must take you back with me!"

"Wait for me at the city gates. I'll make it back!" Qin Yun's voice carried an unshakable command.

Ling Xinyun urged under her breath, "Let's go!"

Her friends stepped forward and tugged at Yu Shutian's arm.

But Yu Shutian dug in her heels!

And those three suckers had already flown far away. The men in black didn't dare to chase them, because their leader was about to be decapitated.

"Lady Yu, I'm fine! You go back first. I have some magic talismans with me for self-defense!" Qin Yun shouted. "If you stay here, you'll only hold me back!"

Yu Shutian gritted her teeth but had no choice but to trust Qin Yun, knowing he had a powerful Master and might indeed possess formidable talismans.

Soon after, Yu Shutian flew away with her beautiful friends.

"Kid, you're done for! You could've dragged those young masters down with you, but you let them escape!"

The big man in black sneered. "You hot-headed fool, standing up for a woman—if you die, those girls will shed a few tears at most and forget you in no time!"

"I defended my honor! You were the ones who tried to force me to kneel! Of course, I'll deal with those three suckers later too!" Qin Yun chuckled. "You're the real fool here—standing at death's door, yet still daring to spout such nonsense!"

"Hahaha... I'm not afraid to die! If you've got the guts, kill me! You won't escape anyway!" the big man in black roared with laughter.

Suddenly, an overwhelming Emperor Wu aura swept over them.

Clearly, these men had already summoned their Black Cloud Gang's Emperor Wu.

A dark figure streaked over from the distance, and a round-faced man descended.

"Greetings, Boss!" The men in black all knelt on one knee, paying respects to the round-faced man.

The round-faced man was stunned when he saw Qin Yun and exclaimed, "Big Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Lei Xiong, you're the boss of the Black Cloud Gang?" Qin Yun frowned.

This round-faced man was none other than the Emperor Wu whom Qin Yun had once embedded with a flying dagger talisman weapon, leading him to offend a Half-Immortal like Old Feitian. Back then, he had nearly met his end, but Qin Yun had incidentally saved him.

The men in black were dumbfounded. They never expected their new boss to address that little devil brat as "Big Brother!"

It was unbelievable, but recalling Qin Yun's earlier display of power, they shuddered in fear, suspecting he might actually be an Emperor Wu.

If he truly was such a young Emperor Wu, that would be utterly astonishing!

"Well, since I came from the Qianfeng Sect, the brothers in the Black Cloud Gang showed me respect and made me their boss!" Lei Xiong laughed.

Qin Yun released the middle-aged man in black.

Lei Xiong thundered at him, "What exactly happened? He's my Big Brother—and yours too!"

"This... Boss, it was our fault!" The middle-aged man in black said with a bitter expression.

"Just a misunderstanding!" Qin Yun dismissed it. "Forget it. Since they're your men, I'll let them go this time."

"Big Brother is truly magnanimous. I'll see them properly punished!" Lei Xiong shot a cold look at the men in black and barked, "Why aren't you all thanking Big Brother Yun for granting you mercy?"

The men in black hastily knelt before Qin Yun, apologizing profusely while expressing their gratitude. They had been trembling in their boots!

Qin Yun took out a magic communication conch and said, "I'll call my friend back. She's very interested in the star shard!"

He quickly sent a message to Yu Shutian, asking her to return.

...

Yu Shutian was soaring through the skies alongside those three cowardly fleeing fools. Upon receiving Qin Yun's message, she said, "Ah Yun wants me to go back. He says the danger has passed!"

"Lady Yu, don't believe him! He might have been tortured and forced to lure you back!" Hua Feng warned.

"If it weren't for you three worthless curs insisting on making him kneel, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Yu Shutian pierced them with an icy glare. "Even if it means death, I'm going back to save him!"

She turned and flew back to the previous location!

Only she returned. Her friends and those three suckers merely remained suspended in midair, watching. Having just escaped danger, they had no intention of sticking their necks out for Qin Yun!
