Chapter 4567: Life and Death Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Three children, a guard with unremarkable strength, and a Super Sacred Beast as their contracted companion. After careful consideration, the Ruan Family Patriarch decided to bring his men and rush forward personally. If he could capture the children, wouldn’t he be able to deal with that divine beast. If he could transfer the contract, then… The moemnt such a thought stirred in his heart, his blood surged. The South Ridge’s Ruan Family were presented with such an opportunity. Their family had always been seeking wealth and power, so why not take this risk, even if it meant sacrificing some. What if they succeeded? The City Lord’s Manor gates opened, and the sect members emerged. The Sect Master looked at the Ruan Family Patriarch and said, “It’s been a long time, Patriarch Ruan.” “Heh, I didn’t expect you to be here,” The Patriarch replied, glancing at the Sect Master. “If you don’t want to become enemies of the South Ridge’s Ruan Family, you’d best leave.” ... He scanned the group, including the City Lord and the three children, Hao’er, Muchen and Muyue. Seeing the children, he decided capturing them would be more effective than confronting the silver wolf. Then, the silver wolf would have to comply. He signaled to his men, who had spread out, to act accordingly. “Patriarch Ruan, they are our honored guests. I’d advise you to withdraw your family. Otherwise, a conflict will result in significant losses,” the Sect Master reminded him, hoping to avoid bloodshed. “They killed a member of my family. We cannot let this go,” the patriarch said grimly, striking his walking stick on the ground. This was a prearranged signal. His men, hidden among the cultivators, rushed towards the children. The Sect Master and his group prepared to intervene, but Hao’er commanded, “Silver Wolf!” Instantly, Silver Wolf, who had been on the wall, pounced, biting the necks of those who had charged forward. Blood sprayed, and the scent of death filled the air. The suddenness of the attack shocked the sect members. Silver Wolf’s speed was so great they couldn’t react. “Arghhhhhh!” 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 “Hiss! Arghhh!” The cultivators, all Golden Core cultivators, screamed as they were killed. Some were bitten, others were crushed by Silver Wolf’s claws. Hao’er stepped forward, standing beside Silver Wolf. “Do you want to die? Or live?” he asked the Ruan Family Patriarch coldly. Threatened by a ten-year-old, the Patriarch was speechless. He stared at the corpses, their eyes still open, and at the surrounding crowd. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Capture him! Kill him if necessary! And those two little ones, whoever captures one and will receive 10,000 gold coins!”
