I Am Overlord Chapter 635: You Dare Lay Hands on My Woman?

Chapter 635: You Dare Lay Hands on My Woman?

Since obtaining the white tiger soul's power in the past, Xiang Shaoyun had gotten access to vicious gold energy and was basically immune to the regular variations of vicious energy. With his recent seclusion and his absorbing energy from the vicious mist in the independent space, his vicious gold energy had grown. Now, located amid such thick vicious mist, he could freely study and comprehend what he wanted to.
The power of gold signified absolute sharpness, and the saying "no stronghold is unbreakable" was the best way of describing the essence of the power of gold. It was sharp, violent, tough, and noble. These were its clear characteristics. The vicious mist in the independent space shared all these characteristics, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to slowly immerse himself with them. Of course, it wouldn't be that easy to understand the profundity of the power of gold.
First, Xiang Shaoyun put away all other energies in his body and completely screened them using his gold star's energy. He then adjusted the flow of his gold energy, moving his energy in accordance with the energy within the mist as if he had become one with the mist. He sensed every variation within the mist’s power of gold.
This cultivation session lasted seven days. He seemed to be completely immersed in his cultivation and couldn't pull away from it. In his brain, the Desolation mantra repeatedly rang, like the ancient bell of a monastery. Slowly, his comprehension grew deeper and deeper.
Abruptly, the mist converged around him, turning into an incredibly impressive, golden tornado. If someone else saw it, they would definitely believe a natural disaster was happening.
Xiang Shaoyun stood up, and as he spread his arms, a large amount of vicious mist vanished from the air around him.
The profundities of earth and gold are completely different, but whichever power I try to comprehend, I need to first immerse myself and experience the power’s characteristics before I can exert my control over it and use it as I wish.That is the so-called profundity of elements. It seems simple, but one would only realize how difficult it is when actually attempting it, thought Xiang Shaoyun.
After a bit, he muttered, "The Desolation mantra details that the heaven and earth, the five elements, the yin and yang, and the numerous great daos are part of an all-embracing great dao. The mantra's role is to enlighten one on the comprehension of power, and it is also the reason why I can comprehend the profundity of gold."
The power of earth allowed one to borrow unendingly from the earth below and fight on forever without running out of strength. As for the power of gold, it allowed one to unleash a might capable of crushing everything, making one's attack sharper and harder to block.
With his comprehension of the profundities of both powers, Xiang Shaoyun's combat prowess benefited greatly. Done with comprehending the power of gold, Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to stay. He prepared to leave, but he did not forget to pay Prince Edoli a visit. Unfortunately, he was informed that the prince was in a secluded cultivation session and would not be able to receive any visitors.
Of course, the prince had also told the servants to pass on his sincerest greetings upon Xiang Shaoyun's return. He had even assigned some of them to personally escort Xiang Shaoyun back to the academy's side of the space.
As for Tang Longfei, he was similarly in a secluded cultivation session. He would probably take some time digesting the energy within the vicious steel mist pearl. Thus, instead of bothering him, Xiang Shaoyun left by himself.
After arriving at the border of the two territories, he sent the goldmen escorting him back before continuing on ahead. Prior to this, he had beaten up some people from the Flaming Sun. He wondered if they would do anything about it.
After leaving the Vicious Steel Mist entirely, he did not head into the next cultivation zone. Rather, he returned to his villa. As the leader of the Overlord Legion, he couldn't be missing all the time. A lack of leadership would only result in the departure of his members. When he arrived, he found that a large number of people had gathered at his villa.
Xiang Shaoyun's heart sank, as their gathering gave him a bad feeling. He quickly dashed into the villa and found Shang Jifeng, Zhuge Zhantian, Ma Qihao, and Li Haonan gathered in discussion.
They were overjoyed to see Xiang Shaoyun appear, and they quickly saluted him, "Greetings, Overlord."
"What happened?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.
"Overlord, you're back in time. The Di Alliance sent something here. Take a look," said Zhuge Zhantian as he handed Xiang Shaoyun a letter.
Xiang Shaoyun accepted the letter and opened the envelope. When he saw the contents of the letter, he furrowed his brows tightly. A clump of flame lit up from his hands as he burned the letter to ash.
"What nerves! He dares to lay hands on my woman?" Xiang Shaoyun clenched his teeth in anger.
The letter basically detailed how Lady Shura had been captured. If Xiang Shaoyun did not show himself at the appointed location at an appointed time, Lady Shura would suffer. Of course, the Di Alliance did not admit to being the kidnapper in the letter. Rather, they claimed to have obtained news about her kidnapping through coincidence and were kindly informing Xiang Shaoyun about it.
The words weren't believable at all, but nobody could say otherwise, anyway. After all, there was no proof that the Di Alliance was the culprit. Furthermore, the kidnapping had not happened within academy grounds, so they couldn't even investigate through the academy's surveillance system.
"Overlord, the letter was sent two days ago. We were talking about looking for you, but good thing you're back now. You need to decide what to do about this," said Zhuge Zhantian.
"Overlord, this is most certainly a trap. If you go, you will only face numerous ambushes," said Ma Qihao.
"But we can't ignore Lady Shura. Even if this is a trap, we still have to step on it," said Shang Jifeng.
After thinking about it for a bit, Xiang Shaoyun said, "You guys don't have to get involved. I'm their target."
"What are you saying, Overlord? With the establishment of the Overlord Legion, we are one. Since Lady Shura has encountered trouble, we will naturally help. If you have to do everything yourself, what is the point of establishing the Legion?" Zhuge Zhantian pointed out blatantly.
"That's right. What's the big deal about the Di Alliance? Let's go together. I doubt they can capture or kill all of us," said Ma Qihao, his battle intent surging.
Shang Jifeng and Li Haonan also made it known that they were willing to go as well. Xiang Shaoyun was touched to see them offering help. Only during moments of crisis like this would he know that they were worth recruiting in the first place.
However, he had a feeling it wouldn't be so simple. Otherwise, the Di Alliance wouldn't have bothered kidnapping Lady Shura to lure him out of the academy. Perhaps his display of power had caused the Di Clan to feel threatened, and they could no longer wait to eliminate him.
