"The word 'harm' isn't appropriate. Bai Rong is the harm, and I only counterattacked."
Xiao Xuan said as he looked at Bai Haotang with a smile.
"So you're admitting it?"
Bai Haotang's face grew increasingly dark as he stared at Xiao Xuan. The Genesis Qi in his body was on the verge of erupting.
"I see that you don't intend to deny the fact that you attacked first."
Xiao Xuan mocked with a smile. Bai Haotang's face twitched slightly, and he immediately snorted coldly. His figure abruptly shot towards Xiao Xuan. The space in front of Xiao Xuan rapidly distorted, and a palm met Bai Haotang's attack. When the two attacks collided, Bai Haotang retreated with a grave expression, and Xiao Yuheng's figure appeared in the sky above Xiao City.
"Hua!"
Seeing this scene in the sky, an uproar immediately sounded in the city. In just a moment, several big shots that were rarely seen on normal days had appeared in the sky above Xiao City. It was really surprising!
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for many years. Why is patriarch Bai so angry when we meet?"
Xiao Yuheng withdrew his hand and looked at the person opposite him with a smile. His eyes were rather calm.
"Hmph, less nonsense. Xiao Yuheng, you have also heard it just now. This thief has personally admitted that he killed Bai Rong. Even my son has died in Xiao Yan's hands. Today, no matter how you quibble, you must hand these two people over!"
Bai Haotang's gaze swept past Xiao Yuheng and stared at Xiao Xuan behind him. Xiao Xuan frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said,
"Patriarch Bai, although I don't know the ins and outs of this matter, I know one thing. The central region is vast, and it is inevitable that clansmen will be injured when they go out. If you want the head of the Xiao clan's inner pavilion to pay for the life of an elder of your Bai clan because of a few words from you, isn't that too much?"
Bai Haotang's expression immediately changed when he heard those words. His mind became slightly solemn. He did not know that the person behind Xiao Yuheng actually had such an identity. As the clan leader of the Bai clan, he naturally knew some information about the Xiao clan. Being in charge of the Inner Cabinet, his status was not much lower than the clan leader's. If anyone wanted to touch him, the entire Xiao clan would not let the matter rest.
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Haotang could only gnash his teeth and turn his gaze towards Xiao Yan.
"I can treat the matter of Bai Rong as a result of him not being as skilled as others. However, you must hand Xiao Yan over. Only by doing so will there be some leeway for today's matter to be resolved. Otherwise, do not blame me for not thinking about the friendship of our clan!"
Many of the Xiao clan's older generation members couldn't help but change their expressions. Bai Haotang's threat was very strong. What he meant was that the Xiao clan had to make a choice between handing over Xiao Yan and starting a war with the Bai clan. Once the Xiao clan chose to forcefully protect Xiao Yan, it would be difficult for the two clans to get along in the future!
"Hmph, does Patriarch Bai think that there is no one in the Xiao clan who can match up to him?"
Xiao Yuheng sneered. As his figure flashed, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yuehua appeared at his sides. The three of them stood in a row in front of Bai Haotang. At the same time, two grey-robed elders from the Bai clan frowned slightly and appeared beside Bai Haotang. Immediately, the six Source Venerables faced each other in the air!
"Haha, father's words couldn't be more correct!"
Just as everyone's expressions changed, a group of Xiao clan's juniors flew over from afar. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of everyone. Bai Zijing and the others' gazes immediately fell on the two people leading the group. It was Xiao Yan and Xiao Shaojun.
Xiao Shaojun's gaze swept across the Bai clan's members calmly. Finally, his gaze landed on Bai Haotang as he slowly said,
"Patriarch Bai, although the Xiao clan has been quiet in recent years, it has not reached the point where we can be trampled on by others. If you think that the Xiao clan is easy to bully, then go ahead and start a war. However, if you want to beat someone up in front of their home and demand an apology, you should ask them if they agree!"
Xiao Shaojun let out a loud cry at the end of his words. He waved his hand and angrily pointed at the members of the Xiao clan behind him. Immediately, all the members of the younger generation behind Xiao Yan suddenly let out an explosive cry. A majestic aura suddenly shot to the sky as they stepped forward!
This unyielding attitude caused the surrounding experts of the older generation to become excited. This matter concerned the dignity of their clans, so they would naturally not hesitate. Immediately, they looked at each other and saw a wisp of burning desire in each other's eyes. Soon after …
"Ha!"
Accompanied by a roar, all the Xiao clan's experts stirred the Genesis Qi in their bodies. Pillars of energy soared into the sky as mottled colors converged. Everyone's aura and pressure twisted together, like an invisible giant beast occupying the sky above Xiao City. The terrifying power made everyone's expression change. Even Bai Haotang and the others, who were hovering in the sky, wore grave expressions.
Although the Bai clan and the Xiao clan were on par with each other in the Middle Region, only they knew the true strength of the two clans. Once the Bai clan declared war with the Xiao clan because of this matter, the Bai clan would suffer a great loss regardless of the outcome. At that time, it was likely that others would be able to reap the benefits …
At the same time, Xiao Yan lifted his head to look at the powerful pressure in the sky, and the pressure in his heart lessened significantly. It was only at this moment that he truly felt that he was a member of the Xiao clan.
Seeing that the Xiao clan's experts had made their stance clear, the Bai clan's members were in a dilemma. Bai Haotang's face alternated between green and white. His gaze swept back and forth between Xiao Yan and the three people opposite him as thoughts spun rapidly in his mind.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was already within reach. If he could instantly attack and kill Xiao Yan, the Xiao clan would not easily start a war with the Bai clan over a dead person regardless of how furious they were once Xiao Yan died. However, Xiao Yuheng's group on the other side was currently a problem. Even with his cultivation, it was impossible for him to kill Xiao Yan before they could intercept him …
In this way, the current situation had become a deadlock!
A moment later, while both parties were in a deadlock, Bai Zijing, who had been staring intently at Xiao Yan, finally stepped forward and stood between Bai Haotang and the Xiao clan. His eyes, which were filled with murderous intent, had never left Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, since we can't kill you in the grand scheme of things, let us settle this ourselves!"
A ferocious smile surged onto Bai Zijing's face. His eyes glanced at Xiao City below. After seeing the hopeful eyes of the city, a dark and cold cry suddenly resounded in the sky above the city.
"Xiao Yan from the Xiao clan, you killed my brother and killed an elder of my clan. Today, I, Bai Zijing, as the young clan leader of the Bai clan, will have a decisive battle with you. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
An uproar immediately arose in the city below when these words were spoken. At the same time, the expressions of the experts from both parties in the sky changed. Even Xiao Yan himself couldn't help but be a little stunned at this moment. His eyes exchanged glances with Xiao Shaojun, who had a strange expression on his face. Subsequently, he looked at Bai Zijing opposite him and curled his lips.
"You have invited me to a battle in public. If I don't accept, I'm afraid that I will embarrass the Xiao clan in front of everyone. Since this is the case, your challenge …"
"I accept."
