Chapter 381: Chapter 375 Saving People

"Heh heh!"

Zhao Ming sneered, "Big brother, I didn’t expect your heart to be so ruthless. Since you don’t care about brotherhood, don’t blame me, Zhao Ming, for also ignoring brotherhood."

"Zheng zheng."

The sword was already out of its sheath, and the sword radiance was overwhelming.

Zhao Ming raised the longsword in his hand and pointed it straight at Zhao Shuo.

"Ha!"

Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly.

"Second brother, it’s not too late to listen to big brother finish speaking before making a move."

A murderous glint flashed in Zhao Ming’s eyes as he coldly said, "There’s nothing left for us to say. If you don’t want others to see us harming each other, then let me go find Yan Rufeng to save Shan’er."

Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "Second brother, I’ll tell you the truth. Even if Shan’er is saved, he will still be a cripple. Why would you beg Yan Rufeng to save a cripple?"

Zhao Ming roared.

"For nothing else than that Zhao Shan is my son. As long as he can live, what does it matter if he’s a cripple or not."

The longsword in Zhao Ming’s hand gradually pressed closer to Zhao Shuo.

"Sigh! Very well!"

Zhao Shuo sighed, "Second brother, I can let you leave, but I must tell you, after you leave, everything you do will have nothing to do with the Zhao family. The Zhao family will no longer acknowledge you, Zhao Ming."

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Ming laughed wildly into the sky.

"Zhao Shuo, you said it yourself. In the future, when the Zhao family faces trouble, don’t expect any help from me, Zhao Ming."

"Fine."

Enraged, Zhao Shuo roared.

"Let Zhao Ming leave..."

Zhao Ming left with Zhao Shan from above the City Lord Mansion, and Zhao Shuo immediately issued another order.

"Everyone listen up, from today onwards, if Zhao Ming appears within the City Lord Mansion’s territory, kill him without mercy!"

"Understood..."

...

A rainbow light descended in front of the Li family courtyard in the south of Feng City.

At the gate of the Li family courtyard, two Li Family members drew their long knives in an instant and shouted sternly, "Who dares to trespass on the Li Mansion, quickly report your name."

The rainbow light dissipated, revealing Zhao Ming holding the dying Zhao Shan, with a faint smile on his face.

"I am Zhao Ming from the Zhao family. I kindly ask you two brothers to inform your patriarch that I have an urgent matter to discuss."

The Li Family members, upon seeing this, retracted their long knives and cupped their hands, saying, "So it’s the Second Master of the Zhao family. Please wait here for a moment, this humble one will inform the patriarch at once."

In just a minute, Patriarch Li, Li Mo, flew over to the courtyard gate.

Li Mo bowed and said, "I didn’t know Second Master was coming, please forgive my lack of welcome."

Seeing Li Mo, the anxious Zhao Ming didn’t bother with formalities and urgently asked, "Patriarch Li, is Emperor Yan in your mansion?"

Li Mo glanced again at Zhao Ming holding Zhao Shan and understood everything.

Li Mo smiled, "Second Master, you have come at an unfortunate time. Emperor Yan has gone to Fengqiao Water with my daughter and has not yet returned..."

Zhao Ming didn’t wait for Li Mo to finish speaking and instantly soared into the sky, disappearing into a rainbow light.

In less than a minute, Zhao Ming had reached the vicinity of Yan Rufeng’s Dragon Boat at Fengqiao Water, which spanned only eight hundred miles in the Immortal World.

On the deck of the Dragon Boat, a tea set was laid out, and Li Xihan sat cross-legged, smiling as she gently plucked the strings of a zither with her delicate hand.

Yan Rufeng was listening to the music, sipping tea, and discussing the future with Qingyue.

"Whizz~"

A rainbow light appeared not far from the bow of the Dragon Boat.

Then, a somewhat hoarse voice reached Yan Rufeng’s ears.

"Emperor Yan, please accept my bow." Zhao Ming’s voice was hoarse and sounded urgent as he kneels in the air, holding someone in his arms.

Following the sound, Yan Rufeng looked and saw Zhao Ming kneeling in the air, holding someone, and the next moment, Yan Rufeng recognized the person in Zhao Ming’s arms as none other than Zhao Shan, whom he had sealed with Sword Qi in his extraordinary meridians a few days ago.

Yan Rufeng put down the teacup and said faintly, "Zhao Ming, come over."

Zhao Ming got up and flew towards the Dragon Boat.

Upon reaching Yan Rufeng, Zhao Ming carefully placed Zhao Shan on the deck, then kneeled again before Yan Rufeng.

"I humbly beg Emperor Yan to save my son, Zhao Shan."

Yan Rufeng raised his arm and grasped the hilt of the Creation Divine Sword suspended behind him. With a gentle pull, he placed it on Zhao Shuo’s chest.

At this moment, the nearly a hundred strands of Sword Qi in Zhao Shuo’s body seemed to be summoned by a deity and instantaneously swarmed out, clinging to the blade of the Creation Divine Sword.

Yan Rufeng released the hilt, and with a "whizz," the Creation Divine Sword flew into the distance. As it drew a perfect arc in the air, it floated back to Yan Rufeng’s back.

Yan Rufeng’s lips curved into a slight smile.

"Zhao Ming, your son Zhao Shan is no longer in danger. You can go back now."

Yan Rufeng’s casual words left Zhao Ming in disbelief, unable to fathom how Zhao Shan could be out of danger so quickly.

"Emperor Yan, are you sure my son Zhao Shan is alright?" Zhao Ming asked in doubt.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly.

"Zhao Ming, if you weren’t so anxious to save your son, he wouldn’t be in this condition. Though he’s now out of danger, his cultivation will take about two years to fully recover."

"Two years?"

Zhao Ming became puzzled again.

"Emperor Yan, didn’t my elder brother say that even if Shan’er were saved, he would be nothing but a cripple?"

"Heh."

Yan Rufeng chuckled.

"Zhao Ming, Zhao Shuo only said that because I told him so."

Zhao Shuo paused and then laughed.

"Heh heh!"

"Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo, deep down, you never intended to ask Emperor Yan to save Shan’er."

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Zhao Ming, if I’m not mistaken, Zhao Shuo has kicked you out of the Zhao family because you came to me for help, right?"

Zhao Ming lowered his head, "To be honest, just as you said, I have no connection to the Zhao family anymore."

Yan Rufeng said faintly, "Do you have any plans?"

"Sigh!"

Zhao Ming sighed, "What plans could I have? Now that Shan’er is alright, I will leave Feng City, find a place to wait for Shan’er to recover his cultivation, then leave Qiming Star and seek refuge elsewhere."

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng delighted, "Zhao Ming, if I ask you to work for me, would you be willing?"

Zhao Shuo placed his hands on the ground, forehead touching the deck.

"To serve Emperor Yan is my greatest honor. I am willing to follow you, to serve with utmost loyalty, and never turn back. If I, Zhao Ming, break this oath, let heaven and earth annihilate me."

Yan Rufeng nodded in satisfaction.

"Zhao Ming, you may rise."

Zhao Ming stood up, respectfully standing before Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng said slowly, "Zhao Ming, now that you’ve left the Zhao family, I command you to return and get your belongings, then come stay at the Li family for a few days while making further plans."

"I obey."

A gleam flashed in Zhao Ming’s eyes, then he looked at Zhao Shan lying on the deck and said, "Emperor Yan, what about Shan’er..."

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Zhao Ming, don’t worry about Zhao Shan. By the time you return from Zhao family, he should have awakened."

Zhao Ming then cupped his hands, "I will return quickly. Please, Emperor Yan, be patient..."
