"You evil creature, how much trouble have you caused …"
In the middle hall of the Yu branch, Yu Zhaoshi, the wife of the head of the family, Yu Tieling, was trembling with anger. The feather duster in her hand fell to the ground, leaving only a bare pole. All the servants in the room were so scared that they hid to the side. Even the old housekeeper didn't dare to persuade her. In the empty middle hall, only she and the young master, Yu Huairou, were left!
"I didn't do anything wrong!"
The stubborn young master of the Yu family knelt straight in the courtyard, but he still straightened his neck and pouted, "That bastard spouted nonsense in front of everyone, started rumors, and said bad things about Ancestor Fang. I was so angry that I taught him a lesson and broke two of his ribs. He vomited blood in front of everyone, but with his cultivation, his life wouldn't be in danger at all. Hmph, Xiao Zhiyuan is really becoming more and more promising. He actually pretended to be dead. He must have deliberately blackmailed me to come here to see me make a fool of myself …"
"You still say that he's a bastard, you're the bastard!"
Madam Yu was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. The maidservants around her hurriedly rubbed her chest, and after a long time, she scolded hatefully, "He's about to go to the Great Snow Mountain to cultivate, how can he be so rash? His mouth is on his body, if he wants to say something, then let him say it. Your ancestor Fang has been dead for three hundred years, how can he lose a piece of flesh from his words? Besides, how long has it been since the ancestor passed down his spirit to you? Can you control the severity of it? This is great, if he really killed someone, the Xiao family will fight us to the death … "
"Didn't Father go to the Xiao family to investigate? You'll know immediately, that grandson was deliberately scaring people …"
Yu Huairou said nonchalantly, "But Mother, what you said is wrong. With Xiao Zhiyuan's little ability, of course he won't be able to lose a piece of Ancestor Fang's flesh. But he made up rumors out of nothing, it's annoying. Ancestor Fang's spirit in heaven will be angry!"
"Ancestor Fang isn't that petty!"
Madam Yu cursed fiercely, but her heart was also slightly relieved.
She had just received news that the young master of the Xiao Family had been beaten to death by the young master of the Yu Family. This really scared her quite a bit. Huairou's father also rushed over to take a look. However, Yu Huairou's tone was so certain that she was slightly relieved. After all, it was just some gossip and no one had seen it with their own eyes. Maybe it was really an exaggeration by the servants. She had worried for nothing!
"Master is back …"
At this moment, a loud shout was suddenly heard. Everyone raised their heads, only to see a group of family warriors protecting a middle-aged man riding on a flying steed, sweeping over from the sky. When they came near, they directly pressed down on the head of the steed, and directly landed in the courtyard like a celestial soldier or divine general. A family of attendants then trotted out, some leading the horses, some standing on their feet. Even Yu Fu also trotted out, hurriedly supporting the Yu clan leader Yu Tieling's arm, anxiously saying, "Master, what do you say? That Xiao Family's young master … "
"He … he's dead!"
The Yu clan leader, Yu Tieling, took a deep breath and replied solemnly. He turned his head and looked at his son, who was kneeling on the ground, with a complicated expression, and turned to walk towards the central hall. However, the moment he took a step, his legs gave way and he almost fell. Madam Yu hurriedly helped him up, only to discover that on his chest, on the armor, there was actually a charred black palm print, as if he had been beaten by someone …
"Just now, Master took the initiative to fight with the Xiao Family Head. Master endured and was hit by the Xiao Family Head …"
The family warriors at the side reported in a low voice, each of their faces solemn and resentful.
"You … you evil creature, you want to kill your father as well …"
Madam Yu was shocked and anxious. She directly turned around and slapped Yu Huairou's head.
At this moment, Yu Huairou's face was also full of shock. After a while, she shouted, "Impossible, I didn't kill him …"
"Huff …"
Yu Tieling pulled back the hand that was about to hit his son's face and said in a low voice, "At this point, it's useless to say anything else. All of you, come in. This time, the Xiao Family is really furious. I'm afraid this matter won't end so easily …"
A group of people clustered around the head of the Yu family and entered the hall. Madam Yu was about to lose her composure. She was busy taking out medicinal pills to treat the old master's injuries and worrying about her son. She was busy scolding Yu Tieling for a while. When Yu Tieling finally calmed down, she anxiously pulled on his arm and said, "Then what should we do? This vile spawn killed someone. What will the Xiao family say?"
"I didn't, I really didn't kill him!"
Yu Huairou was still stubbornly shouting, but there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.
"The Xiao Family is furious. They insist that Rou 'er will pay with her life …"
Yu Tieling sighed deeply and said in a low voice.
"Pay with her life?"
Madam Yu was scared out of her wits when she heard this. She glared hatefully at her equally stunned son, and her tone suddenly hardened, "Why? Our Yu Clan has been in the Bohai Nation for over three hundred years. Our ancestor even fought against the God Race on the battlefield. Who in the Heavenly South doesn't respect us? That Xiao Family is only relying on the fact that they have a second master who entered the Philosophers Dao Temple a hundred years ago. Now they've become so insolent. They want my son to pay with his life? How dare they … "
"Their second master has returned from the Philosophers Dao Temple …"
Yu Tieling only sighed deeply and said one sentence.
Madam Yu's face immediately turned ashen, and she didn't speak for a long time.
"The Xiao Family's second master has returned …"
This sentence was like a curse that cast a shadow over the heads of the Yu Clan!
Everyone knew what the Philosophers Dao Temple represented. It was a supreme existence in Tian Yuan. The Xiao Clan was originally only a small clan in the Heavenly South, and their ancestor was only a Seventh Transformation Golden Core cultivator. But because the Xiao Family's second master entered the Philosophers Dao Temple a hundred years ago, their foundation immediately grew. In just a hundred years, they rose to become a colossus that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yu Clan of the Bohai Nation. In many matters, even the Yu Clan, which had dominated the Bohai Nation for three hundred years, had to concede …
Of course, the Xiao Clan alone didn't have the right to demand the Yu Clan's Daoist, Yu Huairou, pay with her life …
But what if the Xiao Family's second master gave the order?
Who in the entire Heavenly South would dare disobey the Xiao Family's second master?
"Hurry, hurry up and report to the ancestor …"
Madam Yu's heart trembled with fear as she hurriedly spoke.
"Hehe, I knew it long ago …"
Before he finished speaking, a light sigh sounded out from the back mountain of the clan hall. Then, everyone saw the ancestor of the Yu Clan slowly riding a cloud over from the back of the mountain. This legendary number one expert of the Southern Sky Region, the ancestor of the Yu Clan, who was half a step into the Nascent Soul Stage, looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His figure was plump, and he wore a green Daoist robe. His big belly was very conspicuous, and beside him, there was a wild boar with grizzled skin. He slowly floated down and stepped into the hall …
"Ancestor …"
The young master of the Yu family had long since gone up to hug the ancestor's leg in grievance. He cried out with a sobbing tone, "I really didn't kill anyone!"
"Alright, alright, child, don't cry. The ancestor already knew what was going on just now …"
The ancestor smiled and rubbed Yu Huairou's head. He said warmly, "The ancestor believes you. In the past three hundred years, there hasn't been a coward who doesn't dare to do anything. If you say you didn't kill him, then you definitely didn't kill him. Moreover, so what if you did kill him?"
At this point, the ancestor's voice turned cold. He said coldly, "That descendant of the Xiao Clan is spouting nonsense. He deserves to be killed!"
When the Yu Clan's Patriarch and Madam heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The ancestor's good temper was famous. He had been kind to others for three hundred years and had a good reputation. Who would have thought that when it came to the matter of the ancestor, he would show a rare violent side. This made Madam Yu, who had just scolded her son, feel a little embarrassed …
"Ancestor, the Xiao Clan insists that they want Rou 'er to pay with her life. I'm afraid this matter won't end well!"
Yu Tieling's expression was also somewhat solemn. He took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice, "Just now, the Xiao Clan's second master even wanted to detain me. On the other hand, the Xiao Clan's ancestor said that he didn't want to shed all pretense of cordiality and only expelled me. However, the Xiao Clan's second master just gave me a death order. He said that if our Yu family doesn't immediately send Huairou to the Xiao Clan, he will …"
The Yu Clan's ancestor's expression was slightly cold. He said indifferently, "What does he want?"
"Then the Xiao Clan's second master said …"
Yu Tieling hesitated for a moment, but still said it out loud, "He wants to fight his way to the door to snatch her away!"
"Hmph, this Xiao Clan has such big words!"
When the Yu Clan's ancestor heard this, his expression became somewhat angry. "Didn't they ask clearly? This matter, whether it was done by Rou 'er or not, and they want to come to the door to snatch her away? What do they think the Yu Clan is? "
"Sigh, regardless of whether it was Rou 'er who killed him or not, the matter has already been stirred up. Too many people saw Rou' er and the Xiao Clan's young master fight. I'm afraid there's no other way to explain this matter. I tried my best to explain just now, saying that there might be some misunderstanding, but the Xiao Clan's second master said that just because Rou 'er fought with Zhiyuan, she needs to pay with her life. If there really are other misunderstandings, the Xiao Clan will naturally investigate. But no matter what, the Xiao Clan's young master can't die in vain. The Yu Clan's Daoist should pay with his life, and that's barely enough!"
When Yu Tieling said this, his expression was somewhat ugly. It was obvious that he, who had a good temper, was also quite angry!
"Bastard! Bastard! This Xiao Clan is bullying our Yu Clan! "
The Yu Clan's ancestor was so angry that the fat on his face was trembling!
"Ancestor, should we … inform the Hundred Beasts Sect?"
Yu Tieling asked carefully.
"There's no need. The Hundred Beasts Sect can't deal with the Xiao Clan's second master. They'll just be humiliated for nothing!"
The Yu Clan's ancestor lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then resolutely made a decision. "Now, immediately take my letter and send Rou 'er to the Northern Snow Mountain. Ask the elders of the Great Snow Mountain to protect her. Hmph, no matter how rampant the Xiao Clan's second master is, he definitely won't dare to go to the Great Snow Mountain to ask for her. As for the rest, this old man will wait here and see if the Xiao Clan dares to fight their way to the Great Snow Mountain …"
When such powerful words were spoken, Yu Tieling and his wife were both stunned and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Not good … the Xiao Clan, the Xiao Clan has come to fight …"
But at this moment, they suddenly heard the shouts of the clan guards outside the door as they stumbled into the ancestral hall.
Everyone in the hall was slightly shocked. They rushed out of the hall and jumped into the air to take a look. With one look, they were immediately shocked and furious. At this moment, with the Yu Clan's ancestral hall as the center, in the surrounding void, dark clouds rolled over. It was as if the dark clouds were rushing towards a city. Dark clouds surged in all directions, and within them, there were hidden soldiers and cultivators. No one knew how many people were hidden. And in front of the main gate of the Yu Clan, there was also a group of cultivators holding a large flag with the word "Xiao" on it. They appeared eerily in front of the main gate of the Yu Clan!
"Xiao Yueting, how dare you surround my Yu Clan. What's the meaning of this?"
The Yu Clan's master saw the green-robed Xiao Clan's master among the group of cultivators in front of the main gate and shouted loudly.
"What's the meaning of this?"
The Xiao Clan's master also shouted loudly, "A life for a life, it's only right and proper. Yu Tieling, hand over your son!"
"They came so quickly …"
The Yu Clan's master's face was livid. His mind was racing, and he shouted, "Brother Xiao, I've already asked Rou 'er. He only exchanged a few blows with Zhiyuan, and it ended in a draw. He definitely didn't kill Zhiyuan. At that time, Zhiyuan left the restaurant unscathed, and everyone saw it. Since Zhiyuan was killed, someone must have secretly instigated it. We have to investigate this matter clearly …"
"Secretly instigated it?"
Hearing this, the Xiao Clan's master was enraged to the extreme. He shouted loudly, "At that time, my son was seriously injured by your good son and vomited blood. Everyone saw it. In the blink of an eye, his neck was crushed in a dark alley. What else is there to refute? Humph, I've already asked someone. My son spoke ill of that devil in front of everyone in the restaurant. Even if it's not pleasant to hear, it's the truth. Your Yu Clan has gone too far. Are you going to kill him because of this? Maybe it wasn't your son who did it, but you did it yourself … "
"This … this is absolutely impossible. There must be a misunderstanding!"
Yu Tieling hurriedly explained, but he already had a feeling that he couldn't explain himself.
"Cut the crap. Hand over your son, and we'll know after the interrogation!"
The Xiao Clan's master shouted with a ferocious expression. He was really overbearing to the extreme!
But just as he shouted and was about to wave his hand to give the order to attack the Yu Clan, his face suddenly froze.
In the air in front of him, above the ancestral hall of the Yu Clan, a fat figure suddenly appeared, with his hands behind his back, looking at him coldly. It was the Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan. He looked at the Xiao Clan's master coldly without saying a word, but his eyes were full of killing intent!
"Elder … Elder Yu!"
Even the Xiao Clan's master couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw this legendary figure of Bohai Country. He bowed to greet him.
"You want to pay with my great-grandson's life?"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan said coldly, with a chill in his voice.
The Xiao Clan's master's heart sank, but he gritted his teeth and said, "He killed my son Xiao Zhiyuan …"
"Why did he kill him?"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan interrupted him and asked coldly.
The Xiao Clan's master was stunned again, but he still answered, "It's just that the two kids quarreled over some trivial matters …"
"What trivial matters?"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan pressed on, unwilling to let it go.
The Xiao Clan's master said in a low voice, "It's naturally because of the demon from 300 years ago. My son just said a few words of truth …"
"Bullsh * t!"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan suddenly shouted coldly and sternly, "My Junior Brother Fang is a great hero of indomitable spirit, and also a great meritorious minister of Tian Yuan. If it weren't for him, would there be a day of peace in Tian Yuan? How could Tian Yuan gain the slightest advantage in the war against the 33 Heavens? You turned a blind eye to such meritorious deeds, and even slandered him behind his back. Shouldn't your son be killed? "
"You …"
These words made the Xiao Clan's master's face change dramatically. He was full of anger, but he didn't know how to respond.
"I have a total of 23 great-grandchildren and 15 great-great-granddaughters. She is the one I dote on the most, for no other reason than that she is the most similar to my Junior Brother Fang. This time, whether your son was killed by him or not is still uncertain. Even if he really killed your son, so what? Can't the descendants of the Yu Clan kill a kid who dares to talk nonsense to our ancestors? "
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan shouted sternly and raised his hand to point, "I'm right here. If the Xiao Clan is really capable, come and attack!"
"I …"
The Xiao Clan's master was furious, but facing the furious Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This was the Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan, who had dominated the Bohai Kingdom for more than three hundred years. It was said that he was once a fellow disciple of the Demon Fang, and had a close relationship with the golden generation from three hundred years ago. Back then, he had gathered all the forces of the Hundred Beasts Clan to fight against the Shen Clan. After the chaos of the Shen Clan, most of the older generation of cultivators of Tian Yuan fell on the battlefield, and the remaining ones mostly entered the starry sky. Now, above Tian Yuan, the Elder Ancestor in front of him was a top-notch elder …
In terms of status, seniority, and even cultivation, it was rare to see him. How could the Xiao Clan's master not be afraid when he was angry?
Not only the Xiao Clan's master, but even the Xiao Clan's guards and guests invited by the Xiao Clan were frightened and didn't dare to make a sound!
"Haha, who's farting over there?"
But just at this moment, a cold laugh rang out. Everyone was startled and turned their heads to look.
In the far east, a black-robed man with a sword on his back was riding a cloud. The man was young and didn't seem to have a long lifespan. However, his aura was ethereal and difficult to determine. He was already at the Nascent Soul realm and was even stronger than the Yu family's ancestor, who was at the Golden Core Nine Refinement Stage. He sneered and flew closer to the Yu family's ancestor. He looked down at the Yu family's ancestor and spoke in an unfriendly tone!
"It's the Second Elder Ancestor of the Xiao Clan …"
Someone whispered, and their eyes were full of awe!
The Second Elder Ancestor of the Xiao Clan was the number one genius in Tiannan. After a hundred years of cultivation, he had reached the Yuanying Realm and entered the Philosophers Taoist Temple!
If there was one person present who dared to be disrespectful to the Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan, it was probably someone of his status …
"You're Xiao Jianzhi?"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan saw him and asked in a low voice, his eyes cold.
"So what if I am?"
The Second Elder Ancestor of the Xiao Clan sneered and said proudly.
"That is to say, the nonsense that the kid of the Xiao Clan said in the restaurant was taught by you?"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan asked indifferently without batting an eyelid.
"Haha, of course it was taught by me. That devil is heartless and has done all kinds of evil things. He betrayed Tianyuan Continent and sold out his friends for glory. This kind of trash is clearly a villain that everyone has the right to punish. Calling him a devil is flattering him. It's just a pity that the Elders of the Heavenly Alliance held the right to speak and even the Nine Saints were deceived. They actually described him as a hero who endured humiliation. How ridiculous. Although I've never met him, I've heard about him from the Elders of the Immortal Alliance. What's wrong with telling the truth?"
The Second Elder Ancestor of the Xiao Clan sneered and circled in the air. His voice was loud and clear, and it spread all over the place. Finally, he turned back, looked coldly at the Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan, and shouted, "Don't think that I don't know that your Yu Clan is still worshiping that bastard's memorial tablet. You're always putting in a good word for him. This time, not only am I going to tell the truth, I'm also going to tear down the memorial tablet that your Yu Clan has erected for him. What can you do about it?"
"Oh, I was wondering why you're distorting the truth here. It turns out that you want to climb up through the Immortal Alliance's path …"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan sneered, and his face was full of murderous intent. He said in a cold voice, "Junior, I'm not trying to scare you. I can assure you that with what you've said today, you won't be able to keep your identity in the Philosophers Taoist Rite, let alone climb up …"
"You … you're trying to scare me?"
An imperceptible sneer appeared on the Second Elder Ancestor of the Xiao Clan's face, but he immediately shouted, "With my Master, Beiming Ao, backing me up, do you think I'll be afraid of your revenge? Besides, with your little ability, I, Xiao Jianzhi, have nothing to fear even if you want to retaliate secretly. Men, break into the Yu Clan for me. I'm going to tear down that devil's memorial tablet. Let's see what you have to say! "
"Clatter …"
As soon as he said that, countless cultivators immediately attacked the Yu Clan with the momentum of tigers and wolves.
"If you think of the Yu Clan as a pushover, then you've made a mistake!"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan sneered without the slightest fear on his face. He waved his sleeve and moved.
"Please calm down, Elder Ancestor, don't fight him …"
The Yu Clan's Patriarch and all the elders made an appearance at this moment, and they tried their best to persuade him. They knew that while the Yu Clan's Ancestor was quite senior, he hadn't formed his Nascent Soul after all. So, if he were to really fight, then how could he possibly be a match for the Xiao Clan's Second Master?
"Who said I'm going to fight?"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan was startled. He waved his robe and shook them to the side. He sneered, "I'm going to call for help!"
As he spoke, he took out a paper talisman and waved it in his hand. The talisman turned into a beam of spiritual light and quietly flew away!
"Call for help?"
The Yu Clan Master and the Elders were stunned. "Even if the Elders of the Hundred Beasts Sect come, it'll be useless. The Great Snow Mountain is far away in the Chu North. It's impossible for them to get here in a short time. Elder Ancestor, if you want to call for help, who can you ask?"
The Elder Ancestor of the Yu Clan sneered and said proudly, "I have a junior who is now cultivating in the South Sea. With her cultivation, it won't take long for her to get to the Bohai Kingdom. Hmph, the Xiao Clan is getting more and more insolent and ambitious, especially that Xiao Jianzhi. How dare he say such things. When my junior gets here, let alone Xiao Jianzhi, even the Xiao Clan won't be able to protect him!"
