Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 209 A Visitor from the Xiao Family!

Great Jin Kingdom, within the capital city.

A month had passed since the Great Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and during this month, Xiao Yi had been staying in the Dragon Vein Spirit Cave within the Great Jin Kingdom's royal palace.

The Tianqing Kingdom would soon relocate its capital here.

Naturally, Xiao Yi could not completely consume the Dragon Vein of this place, but fortunately, the Dragon Vein Spirit Cave of the Great Jin Kingdom stored an enormous amount of heavenly and earthly energy. Over the month of cultivation, Xiao Yi had compressed his Golden Core to only twenty rings, and the number of God Sealing Seeds he possessed had reached eight hundred thousand. Even Little Lin had ascended to a high-level sixth order, comparable to the Seventh Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.

Even so,

only thirty percent of the heavenly and earthly energy in the Dragon Vein Spirit Cave had been consumed.

"Xiao, people from the Xiao Family of the Great Qian Dynasty have come!"

While Xiao Yi was in cultivation, he heard the voice of Yu Huaxian from outside.

Xiao Yi's eyes snapped open. "The Xiao Family?"

Two substantial beams of cold light burst forth from his pupils.

He had thought that it should be the royal family of the Great Qian Dynasty sending people over, but to his surprise, it was the Xiao Family who had come first.

"Have them wait, I'll be over shortly!" Xiao Yi said.

Yu Huaxian bowed respectfully. "Understood!"

"Xiao Zhengde, sending people over at this time, what exactly is your game?" While dressing, Xiao Yi called for Little Lin and left the Dragon Vein Spirit Cave.

Inside the front hall,

General Po Jun, Zhao Ying, and Hai Fu were seated boldly within the hall.

These two were experts left by Xiao Tianjiao at Xiao Zhengde's side. However, Xiao Yi had not seen them much, after all, his movements within the Xiao Family were confined to a secluded small courtyard.

"Greedy Wolf, the reports say that waste only took a year and a half to rise from the Physical Body Realm to the Peak of the Golden Elixir Realm. How much of that do you believe?" General Po Jun asked.

Hai Fu narrowed his eyes, speaking indifferently, "Once we see him, we'll naturally know if it's true or not!"

"That's also true!"

Zhao Ying nodded, his face wearing an odd expression, "It's strange to say, that waste actually managed to come this far!"

As the two conversed,

Xiao Yi's figure appeared in the hall.

"Hmm?"

The two looked at Xiao Yi, their sharp gazes scrutinizing him back and forth. When they realized that Xiao Yi truly was at the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, they couldn't help but exchange glances, "Indeed, he is at the Peak of the Golden Core Realm…"

Both could see the shock in the other's eyes.

A year and a half!

From Physical Body Realm to the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, this rate of cultivation was far superior to even Xiao Tianjiao.

Xiao Yi swept a glance at the two, speaking faintly, "Is this how Xiao Tianjiao teaches his subordinates, not even a greeting when they see me?"

Zhao Ying replied indifferently, "Our master told us, some people deserve respect and therefore ought to be greeted. As for wastes, they need not be bothered with!"

"Heh, that's truly Xiao Tianjiao's style!"

Xiao Yi scoffed, then walked straight to the main seat and sat down, fiddling with the cup on the tea table without a word.

Silence fell over the hall.

Zhao Ying and the other exchanged looks.

Hai Fu took a deep breath, stood up and said, "By the order of Xiao Zhengde, head of the Xiao Family, I have come to read out the family decree, Xiao Yi, will you not kneel to receive the order?"

Xiao Yi still leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and uttered indifferently, "Speak!"

"Hmm?"

Hai Fu's expression darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he stared at him, "I told you to kneel down and receive the order!"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Hai Fu, saying nothing.

Tangible gazes collided in the air.

The piercing eyes that seemed capable of penetrating one's heart made Hai Fu feel somewhat dazzled, his momentum unconsciously weakened. He took a deep breath and said, "The family head has ordered you to secretly transfer control of the Tianqing Kingdom to us. From now on, the Tianqing Kingdom will be secretly controlled by the Xiao Family. At the same time, the family head has heard that you have reached the Golden Core Realm and orders you to present your cultivation technique and breakthrough method to the family. Furthermore, one Xiao Tianjiao in the Xiao Family is enough. You, Xiao Yi, are ordered to cripple your own cultivation. If you defy this, you will be executed without mercy..."

"Ha ha, ha ha ha... Interesting, interesting... Xiao Zhengde, oh Xiao Zhengde, you really have some nerve!"

Xiao Yi laughed in anger.

The order in his palm burst into flames with a bang, turning into ashes that scattered all around.

Xiao Zhengde actually intended to control the Tianqing Kingdom from the shadows and even wanted Xiao Yi to secretly hand over the reins to someone from the Xiao Family.

He was also demanded to hand over his cultivation technique and the secret to his breakthrough...

Even worse...

Xiao Zhengde actually wanted Xiao Yi to cripple his own cultivation!

The underlying reason was simply that he didn't want Xiao Yi to outshine and thus affect Xiao Tianjiao.

Any of these demands alone would be enough to drive Xiao Yi to murder, let alone all three!

Each one was a statement of heart-slashing cruelty.

Sigh!

Xiao Yi exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his icy gaze fixed on the two men in front of him, "Roll back and tell Xiao Zhengde that I, Xiao Yi, am no longer a person of the Xiao Family. His dog-shit family head order has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Ying was furious, "Xiao Yi, are you planning to defy the family head's order?"

Xiao Yi leaned slightly forward, "Are you talking to me?"

"Who else could it be? Even though you have been expelled from the Xiao Family, you still carry the Xiao Family's blood in your veins. All that you have obtained was bestowed upon you by the Xiao Family. You should unconditionally contribute everything back when the family head demands it..."

Zhao Ying didn't finish his words.

A chill suddenly locked onto him, making Hai Fu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and with a thump, his legs gave out, and he knelt rigidly on the ground.

A weight as heavy as a towering mountain seemed to press down on Zhao Ying, preventing even a single thought of resistance—an icy feeling spread throughout his body.

He was at the Fifth Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm!

Xiao Yi had, with a casual gesture, forced him onto his knees, unable to rise; such skill was indeed terrifying.

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "If you refuse to speak standing, then speak kneeling!"

"You..."

Zhao Ying opened his mouth, but under Xiao Yi's dangerous gaze, he could only steel himself and say, "Xiao Yi, do not be obstinate. Offending the Xiao Family, you won't be able to move a step. Only by obeying the family head's orders do you have a path of survival, just, just, just..."

Toward the end, Zhao Ying's voice began to tremble.

He felt the surrounding temperature dropping lower and lower, to the point that his blood seemed about to freeze solid.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi reached out into the air with his right hand, and the order stamped with the Xiao Family head's seal landed in his hand. The contents were exactly as Hai Fu had described. With a flick of his wrist, flames enveloped the letter, burning fiercely in his palm. Xiao Yi squinted at the two men, "Go back and tell Xiao Zhengde, I, Xiao Yi, have debts to settle and vengeance to claim. It won't be long before I visit the Xiao Family to take back what is mine!"

"Xiao Yi, don't be willful!"

"The master has already broken through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm. Once he learns that you dare to defy the family order, he will never let you go!"

The two men Zhao Ying threatened.

"He won't let me go?"

Xiao Yi slowly stood up, his figure suddenly vanishing from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was behind the two men. Hai Fu and his companion were kneeling on the ground, clutching their stomachs. Each had a bloody hole in their lower abdomen, and the Martial Dao Divine Fruit had been taken by Xiao Yi. The icy voice sent a bone-chilling coldness through them, "There's no need for him to look for me. It won't be long before I go looking for him!"
