14: Don't worry, my senior brother isn't a reckless person.
“Commander Chen Gang of Yunzhou, has joined Xuan Guang Cave and become one of them!”
Butler Fu said through gritted teeth, which stunned Xiao Qinger, making it somewhat unbelievable.
That refined uncle, with whom she had chatted a few times, would actually do such a thing!
Butler Fu continued, “Then, when the Huang Family saw the Xiao Family arrive, Fourth Master Huang smiled and said to the Commander, ‘What is your Xiao Family doing? Are you rebelling?’”
The Commander was furious, scolding the Xiao Family members and threatening to imprison them all.
At that time, some Xiao Family members were displeased and retorted, saying that they had clearly received the Commander's order, so how did their Xiao Family become clowns?
But unexpectedly, the Huang Family directly attacked. These so-called elites of the Xiao Family were no match for them, and all were severely wounded. If not for the arrival of the Inspector, they might have even lost their lives there.
However, the subsequent conversation between the Inspector and the Huang Family Clan Chief made the Xiao Family even more alarmed.
The Commander had betrayed the Demon Suppression Division and joined Xuan Guang Cave, and was now a revered Elder of the Huang Family. The Inspector accused the Huang Family of colluding with the Yao Race, and Huang Li's corpse was laid out directly. At that moment, the Huang Family Clan Chief went mad, and a great battle erupted.
The Inspector fought one against three, single-handedly battling the Xuan Guang Cave Elder, Huang Family Clan Chief Fourth Master Huang, and Commander Chen Gang. Although he gradually fell into a disadvantage, he ultimately found it difficult to contend against so many. In the end, he could only reluctantly retreat, and during the process, the Demon Suppressing Army safely escorted the Xiao Family members back.
But the Xiao Family knew that the heavens of Yunzhou were about to change. The Commander had betrayed them, the Huang Family colluded with the Yao Race, and Xuan Guang Cave backed them... The Xiao Family was already at odds with the Huang Family and was planning to leave Yunzhou. Butler Fu's current outing was to arrange their departure.
After listening, Xiao Qinger's face changed drastically.
“Butler Fu, how is my father?!”
Butler Fu immediately said, “Young Miss, don't worry, the Clan Chief's life is not in danger…”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Qinger's face immediately darkened, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
His life was not in danger, but his injuries were not mentioned. It seemed... “Young Miss, why don't you bring your Senior Brother back to the Xiao Family first? The Clan Chief will surely be very happy to see you, especially knowing that you have joined an Immortal Sect.” Butler Fu saw Xiao Qinger's expression and worried that she might act impulsively.
Although Xiao Qinger was angry, she hadn't completely lost her mind and nodded.
But suddenly, the white-robed figure beside her moved, strolling in another direction with extreme speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Shen Nian's idea was very simple: first, get rid of the rotten apple.
The Huang Family's collusion with Gray Wolf was basically confirmed, and destroying the Huang Family was something he had to do. As for the rest, he was indeed disgusted by the Huang Family.
“I'll go to the Huang Family first. You go back and wait for me.”
Xiao Qinger was stunned; the white-robed figure was already gone.
What is Senior Brother going to the Huang Family for?
Is he seeking revenge for my Xiao Family?
Butler Fu, who was beside her, was completely dumbfounded.
Huh?
What is he going to do?
“Butler Fu, you go back to the Xiao Family first. I'll be right back.” Xiao Qinger said with solemn determination. How could she let her Senior Brother face danger alone?
Especially when it was because of her!
But just as she was about to move, Butler Fu stopped her with a grave expression: “No!”
“Young Miss, don't you know the current situation? If Fourth Master Huang sees you return…” Butler Fu said earnestly.
Now the Xiao Family and the Huang Family were irreconcilable, and it was no longer possible for them to barely exist in Yunzhou as before. Moreover, the Young Miss had an old grudge with the deceased Young Master of the Huang Family. Wasn't this like a sheep entering a tiger's den?
If the Huang Family forcibly kept Xiao Qinger, who in Yunzhou could protect her?
Relying on that young Senior Brother?
Butler Fu was not dealing with Immortal Sect Disciples for the first time; he knew that these Prodigies were all arrogant and couldn't distinguish between important and unimportant matters. If they were stubborn, it would be over.
Xiao Qinger knew his worries and said, “Don't worry, my Senior Brother is not a reckless person.”
After speaking, her figure nimbly bypassed Butler Fu, exploding with full power to quickly chase after him.
“This…” Butler Fu was shocked and excitedly said, “Young Miss's cultivation… has recovered???”
His expression immediately turned to ecstasy!
If the Xiao Family's talent recovered, then the Xiao Family still had hope!!
The next second!
Butler Fu gritted his teeth and followed. The Young Miss must not get into trouble, even if it cost him his life.
He could only pray now, hoping that the young man was not an impulsive hothead, just as the Young Miss said... At this moment.
Huang Family.
Three corpses were neatly laid out in the main hall, all covered with white cloth. Two of them were cut in half at the waist, and one was uncovered, revealing a bloodless face, with the shock in its eyes still evident.
In front of Huang Li's corpse, a burly middle-aged man in a luxurious robe had a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
This middle-aged man was none other than Huang Four, the current Clan Chief of the Huang Family, and Huang Li's father, a true Golden Core Middle Stage powerhouse. However, today he lacked his usual domineering aura and instead carried a hint of desolation.
Because his most beloved son... was dead!
And he didn't dare to investigate with great fanfare, nor could he.
“Who exactly did this?!”
“Heavenly Sword Sect... or Sunset Valley?”
“No matter which of the Three Sects you are from, I, Huang Four, swear in my heart that I will make you pay with your life for my son!”
“My son, your father is useless.”
“But don't worry, everything will be fine once the Old Ancestor arrives.”
“Father knows you always liked that little girl from the Xiao Family. I will definitely find a way to have her accompany you…” Huang Four knelt down, stroking the dead face with a doting expression, his voice choked with emotion.
He knew very well that there were no more than three Cultivators in the entire Yunzhou capable of killing Venerable Yun Tian: Commander Chen Gang, Inspector Xia Youyue, and Elder Lei Tian of Xuan Guang Cave.
Chen Gang and Lei Tian were absolutely impossible; they had always been with the Huang Family. And Xia Youyue didn't use a sword, so it clearly wasn't her either.
So it could only be someone from the other two sects. Although Sunset Valley also had Sword Cultivators, the Heavenly Sword Sect was the most likely possibility!
Of course, they couldn't make a move now, but the Xiao Family was different. By holding the lives of the entire Xiao Family hostage, he didn't believe that Xiao Qinger wouldn't appear.
“Brother Huang, don't be too sad. With important matters at hand, I hope Brother Huang will prioritize the bigger picture and not cause any further trouble…” The refined man, who had been sitting in the main guest seat, comforted him, but his true feelings were different.
If not for that Nascent Soul Pill, why would I, Chen Gang, associate with scum like you who collude with the Yao Race! After I form my Nascent Soul, the first thing I'll do is eliminate the Huang Family, which would not be in vain for my many years as the Yunzhou Commander… Huang Four slowly stood up, his expression changing quickly as he immediately smiled and said, “Hahaha, to receive such concern from Commander, Huang Four is truly flattered. Two days later, during the encirclement and suppression of Gray Wolf, we will still need Commander's assistance…”
Facing Huang Four's sarcastic remarks, Chen Gang merely smiled indifferently, offered no reply, and quietly began to drink his tea.
Facing Huang Four's Yin and Yang remarks, Chen Gang merely smiled indifferently, offered no reply, and quietly began to drink his tea.
“Hmph, a hypocrite who acts righteous after betraying. Does he think he's being virtuous with me now?”
“Why act so superior?” Huang Four sneered inwardly.
Immediately, he looked towards the white-haired old man who had been sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed, and respectfully bowed, saying, “Elder Lei, thank you for your help last night.”
“It's a small matter.” Lei Tian opened his eyes and said indifferently, “This Venerable received a favor from Senior Huang, and it is only right to repay it…”
“However, your Huang Family is involved with the Yao Race and has now offended the Great Xia. Although my Xuan Guang Cave can protect you for a while, it cannot protect you forever. It's best to keep a low profile and not delay important matters…”
