Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 275 Not Convinced? Then We'll Fight Until You Are!

"Yang Jin, it's your turn now!"

Xiao Yi's face carried a playful expression as he hooked his finger towards Yang Jin.

Thud thud thud!

Yang Jin subconsciously took three steps back, his complexion paling with each retreat.

If it had been before this moment...

He might have had the confidence to battle Xiao Yi.

But after witnessing how easily Xiao Yi had subdued two powerful sixth-order Beast Kings, that formidable figure had left an indelible mark in his heart, like a nightmare that made it impossible for him to harbor any thoughts of hostility against Xiao Yi. This was the crushing force of absolute power, just like the countless strong individuals in the Great Qian Dynasty felt when facing Xiao Tianjiao, lacking even the courage to fight.

Yang Jin's face alternated between shades of green and white, grinding his teeth with determination, he stiffly said, "Xiao Yi, I admit you're very strong. But don't go too far, I am a noble imperial prince, and also a disciple of the Tianjian Sect. Offending me... In the Great Qian Dynasty, you'll find it hard to make any moves..."

Xiao Yi said with amusement, "So that means... you can represent the imperial family and the Tianjian Sect of the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"That's naturally..." Yang Jin arrogantly replied.

In his view, neither the imperial family nor the Tianjian Sect would ever allow Xiao Yi to challenge their majesty.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes but looked towards Qi, the eunuch at the side, and asked, "Eunuch Qi, may I ask if His Highness Yang Jin can possibly represent the will of Emperor Qian?"

Eunuch Qi glanced at Yang Jin with an almost contemptuous look, seeing him no different from Lou Yi, and said unhurriedly, "Director Xiao, please don't misunderstand. His Majesty holds Director Xiao in high regard. Otherwise, he would not have entrusted the Xiaoshanhe Institute to you."

Although these words did not directly refute Yang Jin, their meaning was self-evident.

Yang Jin's face turned from green to white.

As if he had swallowed a fly, his expression was horribly ugly.

He never expected Eunuch Qi to snub him so publicly, it was a slap in the face!

Xiao Yi smiled playfully, looking at Yang Jin, "It seems you can't represent the imperial family after all!"

"Hmph!"

Yang Jin snorted, "I am a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, I..."

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking.

Yang Jin was already slapped to the ground by Xiao Yi, covering his face, he looked at Xiao Yi in a daze, "You, you, you dare to hit me?"

Snap!

Xiao Yi slapped him across the face again, "The Tianjian Sect is remarkable, huh?"

"You..."

Snap!

"I don't like someone pointing fingers at me!"

"I..."

Snap!

"Your gaze makes me uncomfortable!"

"…"

Snap snap snap!

After a merciless barrage of slaps.

Yang Jin lay limp on the ground like a lump of mud, twitching, his face bruised and swollen, the very picture of misery. He lay there weakly on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and resentment, staring fixedly at Xiao Yi, "Xiao... Xiao Yi... you won't get off easy for offending the Tianjian Sect..."

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?"

A cold and chilling killing intent enveloped Yang Jin.

Darkness, despair, coldness.

As if plunging into an ice cellar of a thousand years.

It was like an invisible hand gripped his throat, forcing the words about to leave his mouth back down.

Sigh!

A sigh suddenly sounded.

Eunuch Qi appeared beside Yang Jin like a ghost, giving a bow towards Xiao Yi, his ambiguous voice said, "Director Xiao, please, for His Majesty's sake, spare his life!"

After all, Yang Jin was an imperial prince.

Though not favored, he was still of imperial blood.

If he were to be killed right in front of him, Eunuch Qi could not escape punishment.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, surveying Eunuch Qi with a slight smirk, "Eunuch Qi jests. After all, he is of the imperial family; how could I possibly harm his life?"

Eunuch Qi was about to express his gratitude.

But Yang Jin behind him suddenly howled with a ferocious face, "Eunuch Qi... this man dares to assault a prince, are you just going to stand there and watch? Don't forget your place. You are nothing but an old dog raised by our royal family! If the master cup doesn't protect me, what use are you?"

Eunuch Qi's face twitched slightly.

"Eunuch Qi, it seems someone does not respect your command!" Xiao Yi said with a laugh.

Eunuch Qi gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Yang Jin roared, "Old dog, I order you to kill him right now..."

"Eunuch Qi, don't trouble yourself; leave it to me!"

Xiao Yi smiled as he walked past Qi and aimed a kick at Yang Jin's mouth.

Bang!

A muffled sound erupted.

Yang Jin's teeth were kicked out root and all, his mouth filling with blood as he wailed in agony. Xiao Yi didn't stop; his fingertip pulsing with vital energy, four streaks of blood shot out as he ruthlessly severed Yang Jin's tendons in both hands and feet. The pain made Yang Jin pass out, eyes rolling back as he lay rigidly in a pool of his own blood.

Seeing Yang Jin lying there like a dead dog, a mocking glint passed across the depths of Qi's eyes. He gave a respectful cupped fist salute to Xiao Yi, "Headmaster Xiao, I must return to the palace to report back to His Majesty. I will take my leave first!"

"Eunuch Qi, safe travels!" Xiao Yi replied with a smile.

Qi promptly ordered his men to carry Yang Jin away and left soaring through the sky.

Nangong Shengtian glanced at Xiao Yi and cupped his fists, "Headmaster Xiao, I acted rashly earlier without knowing your status. Please forgive me. When I'm free someday, I will personally visit to apologize!"

Beitang Feng said, "Headmaster Xiao, please forgive us!"

The surviving Calamity Realm powerhouses from Wendao Villa, Feixue Temple, Liyang Sect, and others came forward one after another, "Headmaster Xiao, we were also provoked by Yang Jin today, please understand!"

Xiao Yi looked at them all with a faint smile and said indifferently, "Do you all intend to leave just like this?"

"Hmm?"

"What do you mean by that, Headmaster Xiao?"

The crowd was momentarily stunned, frowning in confusion.

In their view...

The battle of today had already come to an end.

Xiao Yi surely wouldn't dare to trouble them further!

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "I have never been at odds with any of you, yet on your arrival, you triggered a heavenly tribulation that almost killed my two brothers. After the tribulation, you then joined forces trying to put me in a deadly predicament. Do you really think you can just walk away like that?"

"Headmaster Xiao, we should show some leniency for the sake of future relations. Don't be too harsh!"

"We were also misled by others. How can you blame us?"

"Headmaster Xiao, you are indeed powerful, but we are not pushovers either. Our ten great sects may not have anything else, but we have countless strong individuals. You should think carefully about the consequences of offending us..." the crowd warned threateningly.

Backed by the ten great sects, they were brimming with confidence!

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth turned up slightly as he said, "The ten great sects? That's quite an impressive tone. I just wonder, if I were to kill you all right now, would your respective sects really be willing to take a stand against me for a bunch of dead men?"

The complexion of the crowd changed dramatically.

Indeed, as Xiao Yi had said...

If they died here, would their respective forces really engage in a deadly struggle with Xiao Yi over them?

The answer, clearly, was no!

Let alone the fact that they had been in the wrong to begin with, just the power Xiao Yi had displayed was enough to make the sects behind them wary.

Moreover...

Xiao Yi was the head of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, with the royal family at his back.

One hair affects the whole body.

Troubling Xiao Yi could potentially serve as an excuse for the royal family to reorganize the ten great sects.

Upon this realization,

the faces of the crowd all fell.

The Calamity Realm expert from the Liyang Sect, Ye Zheng, spoke in a deep voice, "Headmaster Xiao, what do you want?"

Xiao Yi replied coolly, "My Shanhe Court needs resources for reconstruction. Each of your sects gives me one hundred billion silver taels, and we can consider the matter settled!"

"What?"

"One hundred billion? You might as well just rob us!"

"Xiao Yi, you are too outrageous!"

The crowd flew into a rage.

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed to slits as he looked at them with a smile, "I am bullying you, and what can you do about it?"

"Do you really think we're afraid of you?"

In the face of these furiously glaring people, Xiao Yi sighed softly, "Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me then!"

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi made his move with the force of thunder.

In an instant...

All these Calamity Realm powerhouses were flipped onto the ground by Xiao Yi. Not satisfied? Then he would just beat them until they were!

Looking coldly at the bruised faces before him, Xiao Yi said, "Pay up or use your lives as collateral, the choice is yours!"

"We... we don't have that much money..." the crowd said with mournful faces.

Xiao Yi replied indifferently, "Then, write a debt acknowledgment."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Several debt acknowledgments appeared before the crowd, who looked at each other helplessly and ultimately signed their names.

Xiao Yi collected the acknowledgments, clapping his hands in satisfaction, "On behalf of the disciples of the Shanhe Court, I thank you all for your generous donations!"
