章 73: The rise and fall of Xiao Kuangyun

Cross looked at Qingyue and she said "What do you want?" Cross replied "For you to stop being a cunt." Luna coughed and giggled on the side. Qingyue said "I have no idea what that means." Cross rolled his eyes and said "A bitch, an asshole, an idiot, a moron, whatever you like. Just stop, can I ask you a question? Why are you so arrogant?"

Qingyue didn't say anything and Cross added "Is it because of that... Frozen uhh.. What was the name? Frozen piss sect?" Qingyue grinded her teeth and Luna said "Frozen cloud immortal sect, honey." Cross nodded and said "What she said. Is it because of them? Do yo believe I can make it disappear in one night? Everything, poof! Gone. That would be fun."

Qingyue snorted "As if you could do such a thing." Luna slapped her forehead and said "Honestly, you're provoking him? You must be crazy." Cross grinned and said "When I find that place there will be nothing left after I leave. It's all thanks to you." he chuckled and released his pressure on Qingyue along with his power.

Qingyue couldn't breath at all and it felt like all her bones were being crushed. then she heard his voice "I've been holding back from killing you for Yun Che, but maybe after this you'll kill yourself. That would be fun to watch." Qingyue cried and said "Why are you doing this to me!?"

Cross teleported and picked her up by her neck as he said "Because of you! The laws around you make me angry. They make me seethe with uncontrollable rage! I want to destroy everything when I feel the aura of the laws around your body! You weren't meant to exist and I will fix the oddity!" his eyes had a crazy look in them and Luna immediately saw a problem.

She teleported to Cross' back and kissed his neck as she said softly "Shhh... It's okay... Just calm down... I'm here.." Cross' eyes returned to normal and he threw Qingyue to the side, Luna moved yo his front and hugged his tightly, rubbing his back with her hands.

Cross slowly hugged her and rested his forehead on Luna's as he whispered "Thank you, baby.." Luna kissed him and smiled "We know what the problem is now, eh? What happened, honey?" Cross sighed "Later. Let me take care of this girl first."

He waved his hand and Qingyue flew to his hand, he grabbed her head and said "Obliviate, Ligilimens." He went into her memories and looked at them all, her mother leaving her father and going somewhere else, but he didn't care about those. He found the Frozen moron palace, their location, and everything about them.

He was extremely disappointed, apparently they were a top power in this world and he could still crush them all. He pushed past it and then started changing her memories, she felt so touched by Yun Che's kindness that she fell in love with him and decided to be a good wife.

Cross dropped her to the ground and left with Luna, who just watched silently. Hopefully the girl would be spared from her terrible fate. Cross couldn't care less but Luna sighed at the beautiful girl, healing her before they left.

A while later

Cross and Luna were alone on the mountain side. Cross started "When I touched the barrier on Earth I told you about the Laws." Luna nodded and held his hand, Cross continued "What I didn't tell you is I felt a strange rejection from them, as if they were forcefully stopping me from advancing. I felt extremely angry for no reason, the more we stayed there the angrier I felt."

Luna said "That's why you wanted to leave as soon as possible?" Cross nodded and said "Also why I started smoking, more so to relax than anything. Anyway, when we got here I felt much better, but just being near that girl surrounded by Laws made me feel uncontrollably angry. I can hold myself back but her personality is even worse, I can't stop my anger from rising. Which is why I have been so harsh on her."

Luna leaned her head on his shoulder and said softly "Why didn't you tell me, honey. I can help you." Cross looked away and said "I thought you would be upset so I didn't say anything. You looked so happy all the time, I didn't want to ruin your mood..."

Luna looked up and said "Honey, look at me." Cross turned his head and looked into Luna's eyes, she smiled full of love as she said "I love you. Whether you're a demon or an angel, I will always be with you. Next time tell me if something's wrong and I'll be able to help you, okay? We're a team."

Cross didn't know what to say, his eyes got puffy and his nose started getting itchy as he slowly dripped tears from his ruby eyes. Luna caressed his cheek and softly kissed his lips, Cross hugged her and lied down as he whispered "I love you so much..."

Luna smiled and said "Me too, hubby..." as she fell asleep on his chest. Cross stroked her back softly, feeling peaceful, as he slowly fell asleep on the soft grass.

A few days later

Cross was sitting outside with Yun Che, Luna, Xiao Lie, Lingxi, and that detestable woman. Cross was sitting next to Yun Che, chewing on a piece of grass, watching the people pass by. There was a boy dressed in outrageously flamboyant clothes and the Xiao Clan Master looked to be extremely humble towards him.

Cross muttered "That's the kid?" Yun Che was chewing on a piece of grass as well as he replied "That's the kid." Yun Che then whispered "Did you do something to Qingyue? She's been acting a lot warmer and loving.. It's very strange."

Cross spat out the grass at the name and quickly took out his cigarettes, snapping his finger, lighting a fire on them before lighting his cigarette as he said "Oh, I might have 'suggested' she change her ways." as he let out a mouthful of smoke with a nice sigh.

Yun Che looked at the cigarette and said "What's that?" Cross replied "A cigarette, helps me relax. You want one?" Yun Che said "Uhh... okay." Cross handed him a cigarette and lit it as he said "Oh right, take it slow the first time-" Yun Che almost coughed out a lung, and Cross chuckled as he said "So you can get used to it..."

Yun Che shot him a glance and shook his head. Cross touched his body and said "Huh. Your body is automatically filtering the smoke, that's good." Yun Che said "It's poisonous?" Cross shook his head and replied "Not that kind of poison, but if someone without energy smoked for a long time they could die."

Yun Che was interested and said "Die, how?" Cross pursed his lips and said "If I had to describe it for you to understand it would be uncontrollable cell replication without termination." Yun Che chuckled and said "So Cancer." Cross was stunned and said "You know what Cancer is?! Why didn't you tell me, now I look like an idiot!"

Yun Che started laughing and Cross kept cursing him, everyone else at the event were looking at them, or rather Qingyue and Luna. The outrageously dressed boy that came from the Xiao Sect was drooling looking at the two as he stood on the platform.

The boy coughed and said "My name is Xiao Kuangyun and I am from the Xiao Sect. Regarding the great name of the Xiao Sect, you all should be very clear. In the Blue Wind Empire, there's nothing that my Xiao Sect can't resolve. All of you ought to feel honored and proud because even though you are a bit weak, you can still be said to be related to the Xiao Sect. The founder of the Xiao Clan was the son of one of our Xiao Sect's Elders. However, although your founder was the son of an elder, he was actually born from a female servant. His status was so low it wasn't worth mentioning, and his profound strength was really too lacking. As a piece of trash, he wasn't fit to remain in the Xiao Sect. Your founder was thus banished by that Elder to this place, and that's how your Xiao Clan came into existence."

Instantly offending everyone there.

Cross and Yun Che looked forward with weird looks on their faces the more this guy talked the more stupid he sounded.

Finally Xiao Kuangyun said "Bring the Profound Opening powder!" The clan master knelt and said "This... It was stolen!" Kuangyun was 'shocked' and said "What!?"

Cross muttered "It can't be he was hired for a play?" Yun Che shook his head and added "I don't know but it's not a good one." Cross shook his head and ignored the boy who was spouting nonsense like it was his job.

A man was called to the stage and disappeared before reappearing with a black box and saying "66th courtyard..." everybody looked at Lingxi, who was pale and shook her head saying "It wasn't me!" Yun Che and Cross' eyes narrowed as they looked at Kuangyun.

The clan master made a heartfelt speech about his disappointment then explained that Yun Che was crippled, therefore Lingxi was just trying to cure him so if Kuangyun could give a lenient punishment he would be forever grateful.

A captivating performance but Cross just chuckled coldly, Yun Che was emitting dense killing intent as he whispered to Lingxi "Just leave it to me." Lingxi's heart fluttered at his words and she nodded meekly.

Yun Che stood up and said "Clan master I have a few questions. Since Clan master is so intelligent and has the strongest profound strength of the clan why would you leave such a gift in the infirmary instead of on your person?"

The first elder bellowed "Xiao Che, surely you aren't accusing the clan master?!" Yun Che chuckled and said "Of course not. The clan master is innocent, obviously someone with his righteous nature would never do such a low and dirty thing that the entire world despises! I was just wondering what everyone else was, why would the Clan master not keep it on him but instead leave it in the least guarded place in the entire clan?"

Kuangyun was getting agitated at the three beauties in front of him and he shouted "Enough! I said she's the thief, then she's the thief! Bring her to me!" he looked at the three girls with greed in his eyes, but he failed to notice the massive beast staring back at him.

Yun Che was startled, well now he couldn't argue at all.

Then another voice sounded "And throw this crippled bastard out! He's not even blood related to the Xiao clan!" everyone gasped and Xiao Lie had a painful look in his eyes. Yun Che clenched his fists and said "I'll leave on my own." before walking away towards the gate of the Xiao Clan.

Kuangyun snapped and said "Good! Bring me the thief, the cripple's wife and that servants wife as well." Yun Che stopped and started laughing, Kuangyun shouted "What are you laughing about cripple?!"

Yun Che laughed and said "Maybe you had a hope of leaving this place alive before but now that you want his wife... I can only say that the Xiao Sect may no longer exist after today. HAHHAHA"

Kuangyun was confused before feeling a biting cold feeling wash over him, his neck was grabbed and Cross turned him around as he said "Tell me again. Who's wife did you want?" Kuangyun said "You can't kill me! I'm the Xiao Clan young master!"

Cross chuckled and whistled, a crack formed next to him and Grey flew out before growing as he said "Hmm, this place is different." Cross said "Grey. Sniff this guy, can you find out where he came from?"

Everyone trembled in fear at the giant dragon, while Yun Che was in awe.

Grey sniffed him and said "Should be able to..." Cross searched his memories before sending the location to Grey and saying "I want everything there returned to the earth." Grey gave a toothy grin and said "Not a problem." before flying away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Cross chuckled evilly and said "Funny how your mouth doomed everyone in your family, eh?" Kuangyun lost his soul and was unresponsive. Cross sneered and said "Crucio." Kuangyun screeched in pain before falling limp and drooling like an idiot.

Cross sneered and threw him to the side with a disgusted expression, wiping his hands on a cloth before burning the cloth. He turned around and smiled softly "Loony, let's go. The Frozen Moron is here, she'll take care of the rest."

Luna smiled and walked over, Cross smiled at Xiao Lie and Lingxi as he said "Not really much to do around here, would you two like to come with me?" Lingxi nodded and ran over, hugging Luna with a frightened expression, Xiao Lie sighed and said "I suppose I have no choice now..." as he walked over.

Cross said "Loony, bring them inside." Luna smiled and bright Xiao Lie and Lingxi inside the castle, disappearing from sight. Cross looked up and said "Finished watching the show? You truly disgust me." a woman appeared and looked angry. Cross grabbed the air and she fell from the sky as he said "I don't have a habit of looking up when I speak."

Cross looked down at the woman and smirked as he said "You and that ice palace or whatever, what a bunch of morons. Ice element is only for females who close off their emotions, eh? What's this?"

Cross waved his hand and an ice sculpture of a deer appeared, it was beautiful. Cross smiled and said "Well, what are you waiting for?" the deer sculpture shook and pranced around, leaving a trail of ice and snow.

The woman and Qingyue was absolutely shocked, Cross sneered "You all at that place... There's no other words to describe you other than fools. Whatever, when I find the place you will all pay." he crouched down and grabbed the woman's chin as he said "Not so fucking arrogant anymore huh? Maybe I should cripple you and throw you into an alley naked?"

The woman paled in fear and started crying, Cross sneered and said "If I see you again, I'll kill you. Disgusting ant." he let go of her chin and wiped his hands again as he left the Xiao clan compound, going after Yun Che, who left.

That was the start of a legend, the ruthless and deadly 'Reaper'. Legend says that if you even looked at his wife, you were sentenced to death and if you coveted her, your family would disappear just as the Xiao Sect did.
