Late at night, after arriving at Weng Village, Song Liandi sealed all the power in Xia Hongyin's body. She was locked in a house with a large yard. There were two rooms in the house, but she was the only one living there. Outside the door, there were two experts who had reached the level of Gang-strength guarding. Usually, these two people would not pose any threat to Xia Hongyin. But now that her power was sealed, things were different.
Xia Hongyin sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to break the seal in her body. But it was in vain.
Xia Hongyin opened her eyes and let out a long sigh. She murmured, "Since this is the case, I will take things as they come. Anyway, I am here to be bait. Even if I can break the seal now, it is not the time to leave. But what does Song Liandi want to do? I am afraid it is not as simple as using me as bait. He also wants to use me to threaten my son. If he really does that, even if my cultivation is sealed, I would rather die than live in dishonor … "
Xia Hongyin's eyes flashed with determination.
The next day, Xiao Bing was still immersed in the book, but the outside world had already caused an uproar. Song Liandi officially announced that he had gone to the human world to find the remnants of Xiao Potian's family. Xia Hongyin was the only one left in Xiao Potian's family and he had already captured her. He challenged Xiao Duantian again. If Xiao Duantian showed up in three days, he would hand Xia Hongyin over to Xiao Duantian regardless of the result of the competition. If Xiao Duantian did not show up in three days, he would directly execute Xia Hongyin on the spot.
After the news was released, Six-Finger and the others immediately went to the library to look for Xiao Bing. But when they learned that Xiao Bing had used such an alternative method to cultivate in seclusion, they did not know what to do. According to the current situation, if they really woke Xiao Bing up, they were afraid that Xiao Bing would go berserk. But if they let Xiao Bing cultivate in seclusion, three days would be up in the blink of an eye. And now that it was related to Xia Hongyin, they were in a dilemma.
In the end, they all came back to discuss their strategy with Ear. After a moment of silence, Ear made up his mind. "Don't call Xiao Bing for the time being. No matter what, we can't let him run the risk of Qigong Deviation. For us, it's better to lose once than to ruin Xiao Bing's future. His talent even surpasses that of the Divine King. If he's still here, we'll have a chance in the future. If he's gone, we'll lose completely."
The astute Yang Heng asked, "Then what should we do now? If Xiao Duantian agrees, the third day will be the day of the deathmatch. "
Now that Xiao Bing wasn't here, everyone had lost their backbone. They were at a loss for what to do.
However, Ear was as calm as ever. He said, "Even if Xiao Bing can't come out now, our strategy has at least worked. If Xiao Duantian doesn't fall for it, it'll be useless even if Xiao Bing comes out. If Xiao Duantian does fall for it, although Xiao Bing is in seclusion now, Song Liandi has been working for him for so many years. He'll have no choice but to fight with Xiao Duantian. After all, this is a rare opportunity for him. Even if Xiao Duantian wins against Song Liandi, he'll still be greatly weakened."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. At the same time, they all let out a long sigh of relief. Previously, they were only thinking that their backbone couldn't come out, but they forgot that the situation was gradually leaning towards their side.
Ear said, "But we can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. If Xiao Duantian wins, we have to think of a way to fight them to the death. Because I'm afraid we won't have another chance like this in the future. If Xiao Duantian loses, we have to save Madam Xia and get rid of Song Liandi. So even if Xiao Bing isn't here, we still have to do what we have to do. From now on, all of you have to listen to me. "
Six Fingers said, "I will listen to General Gu. I won't say no."
The others also expressed that they would follow Ear's lead.
Ear nodded and began to give out orders in an orderly manner. He was strategizing here. Seeing how calm he was, the people around him also calmed down. Leng Ying, who was watching from the side, secretly nodded. Gu Yichuan was indeed Xiao Potian's chief strategist in the past. He truly lived up to his reputation.
At this time, Xiao Sixia had already rushed back home. He already knew about Song Liandi's challenge. This time, he came back to see what choice his father would make.
After he walked into the palace, he saw Luo Tongtian, the chief guard who had reached the False God Realm, walking towards him. Xiao Sixia hurriedly asked, "Where's my father?"
Although Luo Tongtian's strength had reached the False God Realm, he knew that the young master in front of him would surpass him sooner or later. This young master would also become the real master of the entire Shen Clan in the future. So he did not dare to be negligent. He replied respectfully, "Young master, the Divine King is with Madam."
"Okay, I got it!" Xiao Sixia replied and then hurriedly walked out of the hall.
Luo Tongtian said behind her, "If you see the Divine King, it's best to persuade him. You should focus on the bigger picture …"
"Okay, I know what I'm doing." Xiao Sixia hurried to her mother's bedroom.
Along the way, all the servants bowed to her. Xiao Sixia did not even look at them. She walked all the way to the door of the room and heard her mother's sobbing voice, "Xiao Duantian, you really can't let go of that woman?"
Xiao Duantian did not try to hide it at all. He said, "Yes, I can't let go!"
Then, Xiao Sixia's mother cried.
Xiao Sixia could not hold it in anymore. She pushed the door open and walked in. She saw her mother in a red robe crying on the bed. When they saw Xiao Sixia barge in, Xiao Duantian and his wife, Dou Wan 'er, looked at her. Dou Wan' er hurriedly wiped away her tears.
Xiao Duantian's expression darkened. He said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you to study at Skyspan Academy? Why did you come back?"
Xiao Duantian had the untamed and domineering aura of a formidable person. Even in front of his own son, he still carried a terrifying dignity. Xiao Sixia, who had always felt both hatred and respect for her father, quickly said, "Son … Son …" "Yes, Xiao Duantian!"
Xiao Duantian said in a low voice, "Get out and go back to Skyspan Academy! Don't let me see you again before the holidays. "
Dou Wan 'er wiped away her tears. When she saw this, she opened her mouth but did not dare to speak.
When Xiao Sixia was about to retreat to the door, she suddenly stopped. She gathered her courage and looked up at her father. She said, "Father, I hope you won't duel with Song Liandi." Xiao Duantian did not expect his son to oppose him.
Xiao Duantian never thought that his son would dare to oppose him. This was something that Xiao Sixia had never dared to do since he was young. He was about to explode with rage, but for some reason, he managed to hold it in this time. He simply said in a casual tone, "You don't have to worry about these things. Just go back and study properly. There are so many teachers in Skyspan Academy, and there's also the library and the three trials. All of them can help you improve. In these few years of studying in the academy, you need to focus and give it your all. Only then will you be able to inherit my position as the Divine King in the future.
Xiao Sixia clenched her fists and said with determination, "Father, I beg you, don't duel with Song Liandi."
Xiao Duantian's eyes gradually sharpened.
Xiao Sixia gathered a tone that she had not used for many years and said firmly, "Father, the barrier of the God Realm is about to disappear. In less than half a month, the barrier will disappear completely. When that time comes, the God Realm will have to face the entire human race. If you are injured at this time, how great of a loss will it be to the God Realm? Even if Song Liandi is the one who is injured this time, it is not wise for you to hurt yourself! "
Xiao Duantian snorted coldly and said, "Why would I be injured? Song Liandi dared to challenge me, so he should pay the price. If I cannot establish my authority, how can I establish my authority as the Divine King? How can I lead the entire God Realm to rule this world in the future war between the humans and the gods? "
Xiao Sixia asked, "Father, are you really accepting this challenge to establish your authority? Not because of that woman? "
After hearing her son's words, Dou Wan 'er's body trembled. Her eyes were filled with pain. Although she was almost fifty years old, she looked like she was in her forties. From her facial features and fair skin, one could tell that she was definitely a beauty when she was young. Even now, she still retained her beauty. However, that woman had become a thorn in her heart.
A sharp light shot out from Xiao Duantian's eyes. He said sternly, "What did you say?"
The terrifying pressure made Xiao Sixia almost unable to breathe. If it was in the past, he would have retreated a long time ago. However, for some reason, the anger in his chest that had been accumulating for so many years was finally ignited. Xiao Sixia clenched his fists and shouted, "That woman … If it wasn't for that woman, why would I be called Xiao Sixia? If it wasn't for that woman, why would my mother cry just now? Are you sure that your decision to accept the challenge has nothing to do with that woman? "
With a boom, Xiao Sixia felt a terrifying force directly hit his chest. He was sent flying and crashed into the wall. Then, he felt something sweet in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Dou Wan 'er hurriedly ran out of the room and cried out involuntarily. She went to help Xiao Sixia up.
Xiao Duantian walked out from the room one step at a time. He glared at Xiao Sixia as if he could eat her alive and said, "Swallow the words you just said. Who allowed you to say such things in front of me?!"
