Skywing was Devil Blade?
This was a secluded garden hidden in the busy streets of the White Horse Constellation. There were pavilions and waterside pavilions, rockeries, and strange rocks. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and countless pink cherry blossoms were in full bloom. These genetically modified cherry blossoms would never wither, adding a touch of beauty to the garden no matter the season.
The White Horse Constellation was the headquarters of humanity in the Law Realm. Including the Nine Great Clans, countless rich and powerful clans resided there. This courtyard was rather famous in the area, and everyone knew that it was the outer residence of the Yue Clan's patriarch, Cherry Garden.
The rich and powerful clans had a long history, and almost every one of them had their own unique characteristics. For example, the Berserk Wolf Clan and the Withered Wood Clan were known as the Stubborn Ones. The members of their clans were stubborn and extremely protective of their own. The Snowdrift Clan and the Glacier Clan were aloof from the mortal world. Though they resided in the White Horse Constellation, they rarely interacted with outsiders. Their clansmen were all cold and aloof, and the Snowdrift Clan was made up entirely of females.
Meanwhile, the Nine Fans Clan and the Yue Clan were known as the two clans with the most romantic temperament among the Nine Great Clans. Other than Cherry Garden, the Xiang Clan also had an even more famous Plum Garden, which occupied thousands of hectares of land. The fragrance of plum blossoms permeated the air, and tens of thousands of the clan's elites resided there.
The Law Realm was a cruel world where everyone ate each other, and who knew how many shady deals were hidden behind its prosperity. The Yue Clan's romance was false, and their sinister nature was the real deal. At this moment, three shadows entered through a dark tunnel under Cherry Garden.
The tunnel was narrow, cold, and damp, a stark contrast to the spring scenery on the surface. If one was not familiar with the Yue Clan's inner workings, no one would have imagined that such a dark corner existed in the flourishing Cherry Garden.
After a few turns, the passageway began to go up, and the light became more abundant. One could tell that the newcomer was Yuhua. He was led by two guards of the Xiang Family, one at the front and one at the back, into an inconspicuous residence in the Cherry Garden.
Two old men were already waiting for him. These two were dressed in casual clothes, and one was sitting at the head of the hall while the other stood by his side. They seemed to be master and servant.
Yu Hua was extremely respectful. After saluting them, he told them everything that had happened in the Yu Family's ancestral hall. The two elders didn't say a word and just listened.
Yuhua grew more and more agitated as he spoke, his face turning pale. Xia Fei's slap was truly ruthless, sending Yuhua straight from heaven to hell.
After all, Yu Hua was only 0.01 millimeters away from inheriting the throne of the Patriarch that he had always dreamed of, but he couldn't even cross that little bit of distance. How could Yu Hua be willing to give up?
The expressions of the two old men on the platform grew more and more solemn. When Yu Hua finished speaking, the other man looked at each other and nodded. The old man sitting in the seat of honor waved his hand, and the two guards immediately brought Yu Hua back the way they came.
Without receiving a clear answer, Yu Hua felt uncertain. However, he didn't dare to go against the wishes of these important figures, so he could only sigh and enter the dark passageway once more, leaving with a heavy heart.
There was no one else in the room except for the two old men.
Xiang Bai got up from his seat and strode toward his beloved cherry garden. His personal butler, Xiang Bocheng, followed closely behind.
Xiang Bai's age was unknown, but it was said that he was an old monster over five hundred years old. Because his father's surname was Xiang and his mother's surname was Bai, he was named Xiang Bai. He was the current patriarch of the Moon Clan, a powerful and influential figure in the White Horse Constellation.
His butler, Xiang Bocheng, was not much younger than him, and he was also an old monster of the Moon Clan. Because he was not a direct descendant, Xiang Bocheng did not have the qualifications to enter the Elder Council or hold an important position in the family, so he had become Xiang Bai's personal butler.
In truth, with Xiang Bocheng's wisdom and breadth of mind, he was more than qualified to lead the Elder Council. Being Xiang Bai's butler was a bit of a waste of his talent, but Xiang Bai had always treated Xiang Bocheng well, no less than anyone else in the family. Xiang Bocheng also reciprocated the patriarch's kindness, so the two got along quite well.
Pushing open the door, Xiang Bai was immediately in a good mood as he entered the garden filled with cherry blossoms. Smiling, he asked Xiang Bai, "Bocheng, what do you think?"
Xiang Bocheng replied, "Yuhua has been tricked by that young man called Xia Fei. I'm afraid that he won't be able to get past this hurdle. He's no longer of any value to us."
Xiang Bai nodded and walked along the stone path toward the pavilion in the center of the lake.
"I think that Yuhua isn't the only one who's been tricked. We've been tricked as well. Since they had evidence, they didn't bring it out, waiting until this critical juncture to spread it, causing a huge uproar. Now, we won't be able to stop it even if we wanted to."
"We really shouldn't have listened to Yuhua's side of the story and pushed him to the position of patriarch of the Yu family. Now, things have gotten out of hand. After all, he didn't even get the Nine Night Plum that we wanted. How unlucky," Xiang Bai said, his eyebrows knitted together.
Xiang Bocheng shook his head. "Patriarch, you can't say that. We can't completely blame Yuhua for not getting the Nine Night Plum. Who could have known that that young man called Xia Fei would cause trouble and even have the ability to break through the law restriction?"
Xiang Bai nodded. "I've always been curious about this, so I'll instruct my subordinates to gather more information. We need to find out how Xia Fei was able to break through the law restriction as soon as possible and what kind of strange power he possesses."
"That's only natural, but Xia Fei has already hidden himself. He's in the dark while we're out in the open. It won't be that easy to find him," Xiang Bocheng helplessly said.
Xiang Bai sighed. "If we can't find him, we'll take our time. As for Yuhua, I think we should just get rid of him. There are also those two good brothers of his, Yu Jin and Yu Peng. They know too much, and it won't be good for us."
"Patriarch, I'm afraid that we can't do that."
"Why?" Xiang Bai was taken aback, asking in confusion.
"Yuhua betrayed the family for you, even killing his own patriarch. This is a very serious matter in the Law Realm. Even if he didn't help us get the Nine Night Plum, he still did a lot of hard work, even if he didn't get any credit for it. If we were to abandon Yuhua as a pawn, those smaller clans that have attached themselves to us would probably be bitterly disappointed. Back then, when Yuhua failed to complete his mission, we still kept our promise and pushed him to the position of patriarch. Wasn't that all for the sake of winning the hearts of the people? Getting rid of Yuhua isn't difficult, but getting rid of him will make us lose the hearts of the people," Xiang Bocheng methodically analyzed.
Large clans had many roots, and aside from themselves, there were countless smaller clans that attached themselves to the large tree that was the Xiang family. Their every move often involved too many benefits, and Xiang Bocheng's analysis was not without reason. The hearts of the people were not like leeks that could be harvested over and over again. Once a large clan broke their promise, it would be very difficult to regain their reputation.
Xiang Bai was somewhat dissatisfied. "We're in a dilemma. Do we have to wait until Yuhua bites us out? If that happens, the losses to the clan's interests will be even greater. "
Xiang Bocheng laughed. "Patriarch, you're worrying too much. The Law Realm is very large, and with your strength, it won't be hard for you to arrange a place for Yuhua to settle down. Killing him is easy, and keeping him safe is equally easy."
Xiang Bai looked at the surface of the lake, and after several minutes of thought, he finally said, "Let's do as you say. Send Yuhua far away from the Law Realm. Anyone who has anything to do with him must disappear today. After everything is done, we'll vindicate that young man called Xia Fei and push everything onto Yuhua. Once the storm has calmed down, we'll think of a way to get rid of him."
Xiang Bocheng was startled, but he firmly said, "Patriarch, Xia Fei can't be left alive."
"What's the reason? You've seen it for yourself. That young man isn't a fool. His video has been edited, purposely not showing Xiang Wucheng, all so that we can let him go. We'll beat him at his own game, first stabilizing him, then finding a chance to get rid of him. Isn't that a good idea? " Xiang Bai was confused. Usually, his opinion was the same as Xiang Bocheng's, but today, there seemed to be a lot of disagreement. Xiang Bocheng would not let him kill Yuhua, and he could not even stabilize Xia Fei. Just what was going on?
Xiang Bocheng unhurriedly said, "I know. Patriarch wants Xia Fei to stay, and aside from the fact that he's smart enough to not openly challenge you, the most important reason is his ability to break through the Law Realm's restriction. You really want to know how he did it.
"That's right. I'm indeed very curious about that supreme technique of his that can restrain law energy. Such a technique is very important to our Xiang family, to any family in the Law Realm. Besides, he's just a nobody, and we can take his life at any time. Though he's on good terms with a few of the scions of the aristocratic families in the circle and can mobilize the strength of the younger generation in the Law Realm, that's nothing to be afraid of."
Xiang Bocheng sighed. "Xia Fei's thoughts are meticulous, and his methods are vicious. Leaving him alive will only bring us endless trouble. Once he matures, he'll be a great threat to our Xiang family. However, none of that matters. What matters is that Xia Fei has the Skywing bloodline! "
"Skywing … bloodline!" At this moment, Xiang Bai's eyes were wide open, as if he had eaten a fly. His face turned green on the spot!
"I dare you to say that again!" Xiang Bai grabbed Xiang Bocheng by the collar, unable to restrain his anger. His previous demeanor was nowhere to be seen, and all that was left was a manic rage!
* Thump! *
Xiang Bocheng immediately got on his knees, begging the patriarch for forgiveness. "Yuhua told me long ago that Xia Fei has the Skywing bloodline, but I hid it from you, hoping to get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble. The bounty of one million grade 4 Origin Crystals in the underworld was also set by me on my own initiative."
"Very well!" Xiang Bai was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His mouth was agape, but he could not find the words to say. "Xiang Bocheng, you're truly capable! You hid it from me so badly! Our Xiang family might very well end up dead because of you! "
Xiang Bocheng knew that he was in the wrong, so he knelt on the ground and pleaded in a low voice, "The fewer people who know about this, the better. If you knew about this, you'd surely have some misgivings and wouldn't be willing to kill Xia Fei. I hid it from you for the sake of the family. Now that things have come to this, Bocheng is willing to accept punishment."
"Punishment, my ass!" Xiang Bai did not care about what he said, even going so far as to curse. It was enough to show just how much the two words Skywing had intimidated him.
"You should know that Skywing is a blade! It's a demonic blade that the God Race uses to kill! No one dares to touch this demonic blade, not even our Nine Great Clans! If this matter gets out, the demonic blade will be unsheathed! Our Xiang family will be in big trouble! "Xiang Bai was so agitated that he was sweating all over, his back drenched.
"Let's go!" Xiang Bai turned and left, using his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"Where to?" Xiang Bocheng softly asked.
