There was a problem within the Xiao Clan, and the source of this problem was Xiao Qing's two younger brothers, Xiao Chen's second uncle and third uncle.
Following Xiao Qing's rise, the Xiao Clan's position in Lingfeng Country continued to rise. In front of such great power, there were naturally people who lost their minds.
As blood brothers, Xiao Chen's second and third uncles used to be good friends. But now, as the Xiao Clan grew stronger and stronger, the two of them had the idea of seizing power. Therefore, in the past few years, the two of them had been constantly roping in the members of the Xiao Clan to expand their influence in the clan.
Xiao Qing knew what the two of them were doing and had ways to easily kill the two of them. However, Xiao Qing could not do it in front of his own brothers. The two of them took advantage of this opportunity and became increasingly unscrupulous.
In the current Xiao Clan, Xiao Qing was still the head of the clan and still held great power. However, there were two more rats in the clan, the second and third master of the Xiao Clan.
After many years of fighting, the second master of the Xiao Clan controlled the financial power of the Xiao Clan, while the third master of the Xiao Clan controlled the military power of the Xiao Clan.
In these few years, the Xiao Clan had formed a Xiao Clan Army with a total of thirty thousand people. These thirty thousand people only listened to the third master of the Xiao Clan. Because of this, Xiao Qing could not do anything about the rebellion of the Hao Yue Gang. The third master of the Xiao Clan seemed to have some connection with the Hao Yue Gang, so he was unwilling to send troops to quell the rebellion.
The originally united Xiao Clan gradually cracked because of power. As the head of the clan, Xiao Qing was still unwilling to do anything to his two younger brothers because of their brotherhood.
Seeing that Xiao Qing was still unwilling to do anything to the second master and third master of the Xiao Clan, Qin Lie sighed helplessly. He could not make a decision for Xiao Qing, but if this continued, the Xiao Clan's outcome could be imagined.
Hearing Qin Lie's sigh, Xiao Qing also said helplessly, "Brother Qin, we are all brothers and grew up together. I really can't do it now if you want me to lay my hands on them. However, I will try to talk to them again. I hope that they can rein in the horse before it's too late. After all, the development of the Xiao Family depends on everyone's hard work. Blindly fighting in the open and covert means brothers killing each other.
Xiao Qing still wanted to persuade his two younger brothers to turn back. However, after hearing these words, Qin Lie silently shook his head. How could the two of them, who had already tasted the sweetness of power, listen to advice now? Moreover, Xiao Qing was indeed too soft-hearted in this matter.
Time passed by slowly. One evening, Xiao Chen finally arrived at Lingshan City under the guidance of the Pill Cloud Sovereign.
However, Xiao Chen frowned slightly even though they were still far away. At the city gate, more than ten armored soldiers of the Xiao Clan were gathered in groups of twos and threes, chatting and laughing.
Not only that, they were even drinking without restraint while on duty. They did not check or question anyone who entered or left the city. They were not soldiers guarding the city gate at all. They were just a bunch of hooligans.
They already knew that Ling Mountain prefecture was the territory of the Xiao Clan. It could be said that Ling Mountain prefecture was Xiao Chen's home. It was the Xiao Clan's world. Now that such soldiers had appeared in his own home, Xiao Chen was naturally unhappy.
Xiao Chen and the Pill Cloud Ruler landed slowly and quickly arrived at the city gate. They were already standing in front of the soldiers, but these people continued to drink and chat as if they did not see Xiao Chen. Furthermore, Xiao Chen was even more furious when he heard the content of their conversation.
"Haha, this Widow Wang of the Eastern Street is really something. Her looks and her skills are simply mesmerizing." One of the soldiers said with a lewd smile.
Hearing his words, another soldier added, "It's my turn tonight. Her husband was killed by us together. She's such a beautiful woman. Naturally, I have to have some fun."
"Of course, of course. We worked together, of course we have to enjoy it together."
Xiao Chen listened to the soldiers' conversation quietly. From their words, he quickly understood what they were talking about.
To put it simply, these soldiers had their eyes on a woman. However, the woman was already married, so they worked together to kill her husband and take her for themselves.
They were worse than beasts. How could such people become the guards of Ling Mountain prefecture city? What a joke. From their conversation, Xiao Chen also had some understanding of the Xiao Clan army.
They were directly managed by the Xiao Clan. The generals of the Xiao Clan army were all direct descendants of the Xiao Clan. Furthermore, the treatment of ordinary soldiers in the Xiao Clan army was unparalleled in the entire Ling Mountain prefecture.
They received such generous treatment, yet they did such a heartless thing. Hearing this, Xiao Chen finally opened his mouth and said indifferently, "You are all soldiers of the Xiao Clan army?"
Hearing this, the soldiers only noticed Xiao Chen in front of them. One of them immediately shouted, "Brat, don't court death. If you offend the Xiao Clan army, you won't have a good life. Scram immediately, or we'll kill you."
A mere Foundation Establishment Stage ant actually dared to say that he would kill them? Hearing this, Xiao Chen was so angry that he laughed. At the same time, it could be seen how arrogant the soldiers of the Xiao Clan army were.
They were supposed to be soldiers protecting the country, but now they had become a group of hooligans. Of course, this was also because of the Xiao Clan.
In Ling Mountain prefecture, no one dared to offend them. Even the imperial family did not dare to offend them. With such a backing, the soldiers of the Xiao Clan army naturally had no scruples and their courage grew by the day.
Xiao Chen's gaze calmly swept across the group of people. Without any superfluous words, he pressed down with his hand. A terrifying aura descended from the sky and instantly suppressed the dozen or so people.
They were merely Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and could not even be considered as cultivators. Naturally, they were powerless in front of Xiao Chen. Feeling the terrifying aura, the dozen or so people's faces instantly changed. They knew that they had offended a big shot. However, when they thought of the Xiao Clan's position in Ling Mountain prefecture, they gathered their courage and shouted angrily.
"Brat, do you know who we are? We are the Xiao Clan army. If you dare to offend us in Ling Mountain prefecture, you will definitely die even if you are a cultivator. "
"That's right, let us go. Otherwise, if the Xiao Clan finds out, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings."
They were absolutely arrogant. Faced with these people's angry shouts, the anger in Xiao Chen's heart continued to rise. He even felt a trace of dissatisfaction towards the Xiao Clan. In just a few years, the Xiao Clan had actually turned Ling Mountain prefecture into such a state. Did they think that they could bully the weak just because they were in Ling Mountain prefecture?
Xiao Chen's gaze gradually turned cold. Looking at the dozen or so soldiers in front of him, he said indifferently, "I will give you a chance. Call your leader over."
Xiao Chen wanted to see who the leader of these hooligans was. Who gave these ants the guts to speak to him in such a manner?
