Among the mountains, the highest peak is called Xiaoshan by the outside world.
Xiaoshan, one of the twelve aristocratic families in the ancient martial arts world, where the Xiao family is located.
A group of ancient buildings are located in the lush greenery, looming.
The smoke curls up like a fairyland.
Below Xiaoshan, there are many buildings and even a small town-like existence.
They all belong to the Xiao family, have existed here for generations, and depend on the Xiao family for their lives.
It is no exaggeration to say that within this area, the Xiao family... is the sky!
However, with the development of society, the Xiao family is not completely hidden from the world. The people living here are also aware of the outside world.
Although the clothing and grooming are still somewhat different from those of the outside world, they are not like those of the ancients.
Except for a few hidden forces with independent spaces, most forces in the ancient martial arts world are unable to completely cut off ties with the secular world!
This is also what the Chinese court requires. Even powerful families such as the Xiao family do not dare to be completely independent!
The top of Xiaoshan, the meeting hall.
More than a dozen people were discussing something in the meeting hall.
Xiao Lin, known as the ‘Qilin son of the Xiao family’, was also there.
At this moment, he was glaring angrily at an old man opposite him, with a cold aura exuding from his whole body.
The old man ignored Xiao Lin's anger, took a sip of tea, and continued what he had just said: "Even though Xiao Chen is now unparalleled in the ancient martial arts world and is called the 'unparalleled genius', he has no respect for his elders and is daring to destroy the old man.
Four of them... no matter how good they are, they should not let him return to the Xiao family!"
Hearing the old man's words, not far away, another old man's face flashed with a look of cruelty and resentment: "Yes, this son is evil-hearted, how can he still have my Xiao family in his heart... Whoever dares to let this son return, that is me
enemy!"
He resolutely went to Longhai to find Xiao Chen, but Xiao Wei was destroyed by Xiao Chen!
"I don't recommend letting Xiao Chen return to the Xiao family. He has no feelings for the Xiao family at all. He is full of hatred... You can see this from the fact that he abolished my fourth uncle and me."
Next to Xiao Wei is a fat man, Xiao Lian, who went to Longhai with Xiao Wei last time.
When he went to Longhai with Xiao Wei, he thought he could take over the Xiao family of Longhai as his own... Even if he was preparing for the birth of the Xiao family, it should be controlled by their lineage!
But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Chen would be so powerful that even Xiao Wei was no match for him!
And he and Xiao Wei both had their Dantian destroyed and became cripples!
If they weren't direct descendants of the Xiao family, they would have no status at all and their lives would be extremely difficult if they became useless!
He hated Xiao Chen so much that he gritted his teeth!
Especially recently, I have been hearing news about Xiao Chen. How powerful he is in the island country. He is called the "Peerless Twins", and some even say that he can suppress an entire era!
Hearing this, Xiao Lian hated him even more!
How could he be a loser back then and be where he is today!
At the beginning, he could kill the trash with one hand, but now he has been destroyed!
He hates it!
Therefore, his purpose in today's discussion is to prevent Xiao Chen from returning to the Xiao family!
Their lineage...all have this idea.
Xiao Chen cannot return!
Once Xiao Chen returns, their lineage may not have a good life.
"fart!"
Upon hearing Xiao Lian's words, Xiao Lin was furious and slammed the table.
"You know what you did in Long Hai... If you tell Xiao Chen properly, can he destroy you?"
"presumptuous!"
Xiao Wei shouted angrily.
"Xiao Lin, are you talking about me?"
"..."
Xiao Lin stared at Xiao Wei and gritted his teeth. This old guy... was suppressing him because of his seniority!
"What's the fuss about?"
A faint voice sounded, and an older-looking old man spoke.
He has a higher seniority, one generation higher than Xiao Wei and the others, and he is also one of the elders of the Xiao family.
He is of the same generation as the half-step innate, and has great influence in the Xiao family.
"I won't mention what happened back then. I don't need to talk about Xiao Chen's status in the ancient martial arts world now, right? A peerless genius, how long has it been since our Xiao family has produced such an influential figure?"
The old man glanced at everyone and said slowly.
Xiao Lin frowned, this old guy is from Xiao Wei's side, will he speak for Xiao Chen?
probably not!
Sure enough, I heard the old man continue to say: "I don't deny Xiao Chen's excellence, but if he is full of hatred for the Xiao family, the better he is, the more dangerous the Xiao family will be... It is rumored that he has already achieved the perfection of transformation.
With the strength of the great perfection of transformation in his twenties, looking at the ancient martial arts world, how many people there are? It’s a pity that they can’t be used by my Xiao family..."
"What does Third Patriarch mean?"
Xiao Lin couldn't wait any longer and asked directly.
The old man looked at Xiao Lin and chuckled: "Since what I mean cannot be used by me and may even become an enemy of my Xiao family, I should destroy it when it is still young!"
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Lin trembled, and then his face turned pale.
It turns out...their lineage has such an idea!
Not only did they not allow Xiao Chen to return to the Xiao family, but in order to prevent Xiao Chen from finding them to settle the matter of the past, they even wanted to kill Xiao Chen!
Are they afraid?
Yes, they are afraid!
Xiao Chen grew up so fast that it scared them all!
"Third brother, it's not like that, right? Even if he doesn't return to the Xiao family, he still has the blood of my Xiao family flowing in his bones... Don't you think it's too much to destroy him?"
At the top of the list, another old man spoke. He was also one of the clan elders and was not from the same lineage as Xiao Wei and the others.
"Destroy him, or let him destroy the Xiao family, which one do you choose?"
The old man who spoke just now said calmly.
"Also, you say that he has the blood of my Xiao family, how can you prove it?"
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man sitting at the top suddenly clenched his fists with his hands under the table, and the veins on his forehead jumped a few times.
He is Xiao Sheng, the head of the Xiao family, and also Xiao Chen’s father!
"Third Ancestor, have you said this?"
Xiao Sheng looked at the old man and said in a deep voice.
"I can confirm that the blood flowing in Xiao Chen's body is the blood of my Xiao family."
The old man looked at Xiao Sheng, and his eyes flashed. Could it be that he couldn't hold it any longer? It seemed that he really had to kill Xiao Chen as soon as possible, otherwise... their lineage might really be destroyed!
"Even if he is of the blood of my Xiao family, but he doesn't admit it, so what? First Xiao Yunhong and Xiao Jiang, then Xiao Wei and Xiao Lian, he even destroyed many people in my Xiao family, but did he ever regard himself as a member of the Xiao family?
Member?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and the old man said slowly.
"To put it aside, he got the Xuanyuan Sword, but he didn't give it to the Xiao family... We gave him a chance, but he didn't know how to cherish it! Also, the Xiao family wants to join the world, let him merge the Xiao family of Longhai
Enter, he also refused!"
"Yes, this child cannot be kept."
Xiao Wei nodded.
"I agree with what Third Uncle said."
"Deserves to be killed!"
Xiao Yunhong, who had been silent until now, suddenly said coldly.
Although his Dantian was not destroyed, one hand was.
Even if Xiao Lin took action, he still blamed Xiao Chen for this matter!
"These are troubled times, and the Xiao family is also in trouble... I think that at this time, we should not create extraneous matters. We should find someone to contact Xiao Chen again to see what he means!"
Another ancestor spoke.
Back then, Xiao Chen was unable to practice, and after a series of incidents, he was kicked out... He didn't care too much.
At that time, Xiao Chen was indeed a waste and not worthy of the attention of the ancestor of the Xiao family.
But things are different now. Xiao Chen is famous in the ancient martial arts world and is called the 'unparalleled genius'. The return of the Xiao family is in the interest of the Xiao family and even more in line with the interests of their lineage!
"I go!"
Xiao Lin hurriedly spoke.
"I'll go find Xiao Chen and I will definitely persuade him to return to the Xiao family... I promise that he will not be hostile to the Xiao family again!"
"How can you guarantee that?"
Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Lin with gloomy eyes.
"If he really takes your seventh uncle seriously, he should have returned long ago instead of waiting until now."
"..."
Xiao Lin stared at Xiao Wei, this old guy... deserves to be destroyed!
"Okay, let's not talk about Xiao Chen's matter for now, let me think about it for a while."
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, there was no movement in the meeting hall.
The person speaking is the most powerful person in the Xiao family today, the half-step innate Xiao Mian that Xiao Lin told Xiao Chen before.
Now that he has spoken, even a few ancestors will not say any more.
In the ancient martial arts world, strength is respected, and the same is true in the family.
If the innate ancestor does not come out of seclusion, he will be the strongest!
Even Xiao Sheng, the head of the Xiao family, did not dare to ignore his words.
"We need to solve the current trouble first. Xiao Sheng, are you ready for all the preparations that need to be made?"
Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Sheng and asked.
"I'm ready to go back to my ancestors, but... I'm not sure."
Xiao Sheng replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Xiao Mian frowned: "Do you really want them to bully me, the Xiao family?"
"..."
Xiao Sheng couldn't answer.
Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Sheng and then at Xiao Lin: "What about you? Are you sure?"
"Back to my ancestors, I have no problem here, but the next generation..."
Xiao Lin didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very clear.
Xiao Mian didn't speak again for a long time, and other ancestors and people of the older generation also frowned.
Although the Xiao family is divided into three branches, each with its own interests, one thing everyone understands is... if the Xiao family is good, they will be better!
Without the Xiao family, they are nothing!
Now, the Xiao family is in some trouble, but they don't have much thought.
"Ancestor, I... have an idea."
Suddenly, Xiao Lin spoke.
"you say."
Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Lin and nodded.
"If Xiao Chen can return, then all problems will no longer be a problem..."
Xiao Lin said seriously.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Xiao Wei and others changed, and their hearts sank slightly.
Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Lin and seemed to be a little moved, but when he glanced at Xiao Wei and others, he still did not express his position: "Let's not mention him for now."
Xiao Lin was a little disappointed. If Xiao Mian agreed, things might change.
Now...it's difficult if Xiao Mian doesn't stand on their side!
He wanted to say something more, but noticed Xiao Sheng shook his head slightly, but held back.
Just as they were discussing, a sound of footsteps came: "Reporting to the master of the family... there is a visitor down the mountain who wants to go up the mountain!"
"who?"
Xiao Sheng frowned, who would come to Xiao's house at this time.
"Xiao Chen, the head of the Xiao family in Longhai, came to pay a visit to the Xiao family in Guwu!"
