As Xiao Qing's uncles and Xiao Chen's uncles, the five elders all knelt down in front of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen naturally couldn't ignore this and personally helped the five elders up. Xiao Chen said with a complicated expression, "Granduncle, what are you doing?"
After being helped up by Xiao Chen, the first elder looked at Xiao Chen and said with a serious expression, "Chen 'er, the Xiao family can't do without you. Moreover, this will always be your home. You can't leave."
The first elder knew very well what Xiao Chen's departure meant to the Xiao family. Hearing the first elder's words, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Seeing this, the first elder relaxed.
In the end, Xiao Chen didn't leave the Xiao family. Everyone in the Xiao family was naturally very excited about this. Only Xiao Mu, Xiao Feng, and the others had ashen expressions. How could they not know that everything was over?
Xiao Chen calmly looked at Xiao Mu, Xiao Feng, and the others. From the beginning, he didn't put them in his eyes. They were just two clowns. To be honest, as long as Xiao Chen was still alive, no one would be able to take away the Xiao family's patriarch's position. It was such a simple logic, but it was laughable that these two couldn't understand it.
Since they had chosen to stay in the Xiao family and the Xiao family had realized the importance of Xiao Chen, the following matters were simple.
The Xiao family members who were originally neutral all fell to Xiao Chen's side one by one. They stood firmly on the same side as Xiao Chen. As for the people who were originally loyal to Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng, they were constantly thinking about how to cut ties with the Xiao family.
It could be said that in less than fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen had completely turned the situation around. The current Xiao family could be said to be under Xiao Chen's control. As long as Xiao Chen said a word, the fate of any Xiao family member could be changed, including the five elders.
Xiao Chen calmly looked at Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng. When they felt Xiao Chen's gaze, their hearts tightened. At this critical moment, Xiao Mu reacted first. He immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Chen and pretended to be regretful.
"Chen 'er, Second Uncle knows his mistake …"
Faced with a situation where he had no chance of winning, Xiao Mu chose to admit his mistake. At the same time, seeing Xiao Mu's actions, Xiao Feng and their sons knelt down in front of Xiao Chen, crying and begging.
A look of disdain flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes. Looking at the two crying people, Xiao Chen knew that he could not be soft-hearted. These two were born to be rebellious. If he spared them today, something like this would definitely happen again in the future.
Seeing that Xiao Chen's expression did not change in the slightest because of their crying and begging, Xiao Qing wanted to plead for them, but he could not open his mouth. As a father, he naturally knew what Xiao Chen was thinking.
Everyone thought that Xiao Chen was going to kill the two of them. However, in the end, Xiao Chen gave up on the idea of killing them and said with a sigh.
"Forget it. Father has pleaded for you two many times. No matter what, the two of you are still my blood-related uncles …"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng were delighted. It seemed that Xiao Chen still cared about family at the last moment. But at this moment, Xiao Chen continued.
"However, although you can avoid the death penalty, you can't escape punishment. Everyone in your bloodline will cripple their own cultivation and spend the rest of their lives in the Xiao Family."
He spared the two of them, but he wanted to cripple the cultivation of everyone in their branch and put them under house arrest.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng's faces, which had just recovered a little, instantly turned pale. Not only would they be crippled, but they would also be put under house arrest until they died. In other words, from now on, not only would they have to stay away from the Xiao Family's power center, but they would also be unable to cultivate. They wouldn't even have freedom. Their every move would be under Xiao Chen's supervision.
This was already Xiao Chen's bottom line. Originally, according to Xiao Chen's plan, Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng couldn't be spared. But when he thought of his father's many requests, Xiao Chen finally chose to take a step back. And this was the result of Xiao Chen taking a step back.
He could spare their lives, but Xiao Chen had to ensure that the two of them wouldn't pose any threat to the Xiao Family in the future. So he crippled their cultivation and put them under house arrest forever.
Not only Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng, but the other members of the Xiao Family were also stunned at this moment. They clearly didn't think that Xiao Chen would be so decisive.
Unlike his father, Xiao Chen would never leave the slightest potential threat by his side. Because this was something that only an idiot would do. Since he determined that Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng were threats and couldn't be killed, he could only firmly suppress them under his five fingers.
For a moment, they couldn't accept this result. Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng turned to cry and beg Xiao Qing and the five elders, hoping that they could stand out and plead for mercy.
Unfortunately, their cries didn't have any effect. Whether it was Xiao Qing or the five elders, they all knew that this was Xiao Chen's bottom line. It couldn't be changed, so the six of them remained silent.
"Do you want to do it yourselves, or do you want me to help you?" Without wasting any more time, Xiao Chen said indifferently.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had already made up his mind, Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng immediately went crazy. Crippling their cultivation and putting them under house arrest for the rest of their lives. How could they accept this? Immediately, the two of them exploded and looked at Xiao Chen angrily as they shouted.
"Xiao Chen, the two of us are your uncles. How could you be so ruthless? Today, we'll fight you to the death."
After speaking, the two of them directly charged at Xiao Chen. Right now, only by taking down Xiao Chen would they have a chance to turn things around.
They were going all out. However, in the face of their final madness, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with disdain. At the same time, the moment the two of them exploded, Elder Wu appeared beside Xiao Chen out of thin air. With a slap, he instantly crippled the cultivation of the two of them.
How could he not be prepared? After Elder Wu appeared, Qin Heng also appeared outside the hall with three thousand elite warriors. These people were all arranged by Xiao Chen.
Slowly walking in front of Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng, whose cultivation had been crippled, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I gave you a chance. Unfortunately, you didn't take it. From the moment you made your choice, the result was already decided."
After speaking, Xiao Chen suddenly shouted coldly, "Cripple their cultivation and imprison them in the Western Courtyard. They will never be able to leave."
Following Xiao Chen's order, the three thousand warriors brought by Qin Heng immediately acted. Screams rose and fell in the hall. In just a short time, the cultivation of Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng's people had been crippled. They were all taken to the Western Courtyard with ashen faces. They would never be able to leave.
