Chapter 1385: The Xiao Family's Hidden Danger
It was enough to stop where it was appropriate.
When Ye Zichen mentioned a hundred bolts of tribulation lightning, he trusted Xiao Ting would know what he meant.
Xiao Ting definitely hadn't expected this.
That youth who'd been repeatedly prevented from entering the god realm was him!
Not only had he been reborn from the ashes of tribulation lightning, but he was now standing proudly in front of Xiao Ting as a challenger.
Ye Zichen smiled at Xiao Ting, his gaze indicating he was sending him off. Yang Jian gestured for Xiao Ting to leave. He wanted to personally escort the Lightning Emperor back to the Xiao Family estate, which was only a few dozen meters away.
Xiao Ting's expression shifted, but given his shrewdness, he naturally didn't act unnaturally.
No matter how shocked he was in his heart, he still maintained his composure like a deep pool of water. He didn't say anything. By now, he and Ye Zichen had a tacit understanding. They both knew each other's identities and their future relationship.
Ye Zichen turned indifferently, flicked his sleeves, and left. Yang Jian personally escorted him to the Xiao Family estate.
However, when they arrived at the gates, Xiao Ting didn't shy away from chatting with Yang Jian for a long time. After entering, Xiao Ting's eyes twinkled with amusement. Yang Jian nodded and bowed respectfully as he watched him enter.
"Look at how much of a bootlicker he is. The two of them were definitely up to no good." The Great Sage curled his lips.
The others chuckled and nodded. Before long, Yang Jian ran back, no longer smiling obsequiously. Instead, his eyes brimmed with disdain as he approached Ye Zichen and the others.
"Do you know what that old geezer said to me just now?"
"He saw that you were well-built and wanted to take you in as a concubine?" Ye Zichen didn't know where the Great Sage had learned this from, but his taunting went straight to the point.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" cursed Yang Jian.
"Isn't what I, Ol 'Sun, said? Back in the Heavenly Court, weren't you happy to show off your figure to those fairies? If that's the case, it'd be a good home for you. "
As he listened to the Great Sage's mockery, Ye Zichen couldn't help but think back to when he'd first entered the Heavenly Court …..
At the time, they'd been looking for a general agent. All the immortals had displayed their various divine abilities. Back then, Yang Jian had done aerobics with them, showing off his figure.
Thinking about it this way, the Great Sage was right!
Yang Jian's face turned green, but he couldn't beat this monkey. All he could do was glare at him fiercely and explain.
"Just now, that old guy actually wanted to bribe me to go to his side, but I have to say, that old guy's offer is really tempting!"
"After that, it triggered your restless heart. You must have thought that the other party's offer was too high, so you agreed to stay and be a spy for them. Looking at your fawning manner just now, it's definitely the case! " Before he even finished speaking, the Great Sage took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang. His eyes flashed. "Catch. Let's see if I, Old Sun, will waste your life, you spy."
As he spoke, the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand swung downwards. Yang Jian's eyebrows furrowed and the Erlang Lance appeared in his hand. He blocked with his saber, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang was knocked away. He couldn't take it anymore, so he raised his saber and started fighting the Great Sage.
"Wha …. Why are they fighting?" Pu Jingwan didn't quite understand what was going on.
The two of them were fighting for no reason at all. Anyone could tell that the Great Sage was only half-joking.
How come they'd suddenly started fighting?
"Don't mind them too much. They're always like this." Ye Zichen had known them for a long time, so he didn't take it too seriously.
"Always like this?"
Pu Jingwan sighed in amazement and smiled wryly. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, these two brothers really are special.
Ye Zichen sighed as he watched the two of them fight in the air above Heavenly God City. Quite a few patrolling guards noticed the commotion and hurried over.
However, Yang Jian and the Great Sage were both outstanding Sovereigns, and the ripples of energy released by their battle were enough to cause the Great Sage to tremble violently.
The energy fluctuations they released weren't something the guards could withstand.
Even the rulers of the city fell silent when they sensed their auras. They simply let the two of them fight.
"They're really direct."
As the two brothers fought, Ye Zichen recalled Yang Jian's words and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
"It seems he really underestimated me. Does he think he can poach my people as he pleases? I'm Skyspan Academy's number one excavator. I've always been the one poaching others. This is the first time I've seen someone try to poach my people. "
He wasn't boasting. When Ye Zichen first joined Anti-Upheaval, he'd single-handedly poached the Grizzly Bear Society into a miserable state. That was how the two of them became enemies. However, after Xuan Ji revealed her background, Pang Zheng and Di Long buried the hatchet and made peace.
Xiao Ting was blatantly poaching Ye Zichen. It was clear that he didn't take Ye Zichen seriously at all.
"That's a good thing for you," said Xuan Ji. "He doesn't know you have the Outside's support. He simply thinks you're relying on me and the Yao-Sealing Pagoda to challenge him. That's definitely not a bad thing for you."
"Mm, I know." Ye Zichen nodded.
When Yang Jian returned from the Xiao Family, Xuan Ji and Pu Jingwan had joined forces to lay down seals around them. That's why they dared to talk so openly.
Otherwise, although this seemed like Xuan Ji's territory, it was right next to the Xiao Family's.
The Xiao Family might eavesdrop on their conversation. Even after they finished building their headquarters, Ye Zichen had to hire a formation grandmaster to set up formations around it. That way, the Xiao Family wouldn't be able to spy on them.
Perhaps she was worried that Ye Zichen wouldn't take what she'd just said to heart, so she deliberately deepened his understanding of the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family.
"Don't underestimate the Xiao Family. No matter what, they're a descendant of the Lightning Emperor's clan. Their foundation is far more than what you see. If you want to talk about the God Realm's sacred lands, I don't even need to mention them. They've existed since the beginning of the era, so you can imagine how deep their foundations are. After Zhou Wu ascended to the throne, he supported a few clans. I'm afraid of them as well. Finally, there's the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family. "
"Although I mentioned the Xiao Family last, the way I see it, of all the factions I mentioned, the Xiao Family is the most difficult to deal with. Don't forget, they control the Myriad Realms' Lightning Tribulation. They control heavenly lightning. Even Bi 'an's heavenly lightning came from the Xiao Family. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
How could he not?
What Xuan Ji was trying to say was that if the Xiao Family really wanted to, they could control heavenly lightning through the Lightning Pool. If they fought them, it was entirely possible that they'd be struck by heavenly lightning.
The most worrisome thing was that, if the Xiao Family really did control heavenly lightning, how much could they control?
Ye Zichen, who'd personally experienced heavenly lightning, knew that each bolt was stronger than the last. If the Xiao Family didn't stop sending lightning, not even the God Emperor could withstand it!
