5: Who do you think you are to dare to speak such nonsense?

"Family Head, something bad has happened!!"

While the atmosphere in the discussion hall was heavy, as a voice sounded in panic, a middle-aged man also rushed in.

"What's the panic about?!"

Seeing the man in front of them, the Great Elder all looked up sharply and asked with somewhat heavy expressions.

"Something happened at the market!"

Locked on by the gazes of the Great Elder, the man's face was a bit pale, but he still braced himself and replied.

"The Wang Family and Lin Family sent people to blockade our market, not only driving away our guests but even injuring many of our people."

"What?!"

After hearing the man's words.

The expressions of Xiao Zhan and others changed again, and even more terrifying aura erupted from their bodies.

"Damn it, the Wang Family and Lin Family actually kicked us when we were down at this time! Do they really think our Xiao Family is a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will?!"

The Grand Elder, who was always short-tempered, roared with a cold voice, wishing he could kill his way to the Wang Family and Lin Family on the spot.

"Hahaha, old fool, you got it right! Your Xiao Family is indeed a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by anyone now!"

Just as the Grand Elder's voice fell, as an old voice sounded.

In the courtyard in front of the discussion hall, several figures flew out amidst screams.

And from behind, two old men walked out, exuding a terrifying aura from head to toe.

"Wang Xuan?!"

"Lin Hai?!"

"How dare you two trespass into the Xiao Family? Are you declaring war on our Xiao Family?!"

Looking at the two people who had trespassed into the Xiao Family's inner courtyard, the expressions of Xiao Zhan and others were gloomy like water, and the aura on their bodies became increasingly cold.

Wang Xuan, the Wang Family's Second Elder, had a cultivation of the Seventh Level of Core Formation Realm, and had clashed with the Xiao Family several times.

There was even one time he fought fiercely with the Grand Elder, almost causing the Wang Family and Xiao Family to completely fall out.

Lin Hai, the Lin Family's Second Elder, also had a cultivation of the Seventh Level of Core Formation Realm, and had caused trouble for the Xiao Family several times.

Although this guy was not good with words, he was good at scheming behind people's backs.

He once caused the Xiao Family market to lose a batch of goods, and also almost caused the Xiao Family and Lin Family to fall out.

What was important was.

These two guys usually didn't get along, but now they actually joined forces to trespass into the Xiao Family.

It was undoubtedly indicating.

The Wang Family and Lin Family might have temporarily chosen to join forces to deal with the Xiao Family because of some agreement.

"Hehe, declaring war?"

"Your Xiao Family can't even take care of yourselves now, do you still have the ability to deal with our two families?"

Wang Xuan sneered upon hearing this, his voice somewhat mocking.

When the aura of Xiao Zhan and others became increasingly cold, and they looked like they could go berserk at any moment, Wang Xuan also didn't dare to mock too much.

He changed his tone and said grimly.

"But don't worry, we are not here to cause trouble; on the contrary, we are here to help you."

"Heh, do you think we will believe that?!"

As soon as Wang Xuan's voice fell, the Grand Elder sneered.

A weasel paying respects to a chicken for the New Year - how could it have good intentions?

"We both know about your Xiao Family offending the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Tiandu City Lin Family."

Wang Xuan ignored Xiao Mingyi's sneer and continued speaking on his own.

"You should know that one million spirit crystals is not a small sum; it's not that easy to gather."

"Our two great families are willing to help you each contribute one hundred thousand spirit crystals, considering the relationship we've had with your Xiao Family over the years."

"Of course, there are conditions..."

"Your Xiao Family's market in Liuyun City will belong to our two great families from now on..."

After speaking, Wang Xuan and Lin Hai revealed a cold smile on their faces, looking as if they were certain they had Xiao Zhan and the others cornered.

There were three major markets in Liuyun City, each belonging to one of the three great families.

If the Xiao Family were forced to transfer the market to gather money, now was undoubtedly the best opportunity for them to annex the Xiao Family.

Otherwise.

Once the Xiao Family was destroyed, the market would belong to the City Lord's Mansion.

At that time, it would not be so easy for them to obtain these markets from the City Lord's Mansion.

But if they acquired them from the Xiao Family before then.

Even if the Xiao Family was destroyed, the City Lord's Mansion would have no excuse to reclaim these markets.

"Get lost! Our Xiao Family will not transfer the market!"

Before Wang Xuan's words were completely finished, he was interrupted by Xiao Mingyi's furious outburst.

One family contributing one hundred thousand spirit crystals, two families would only be two hundred thousand spirit crystals, which converts to twenty million gold coins.

Just wanting to take all of the Xiao Family's markets, this was simply taking advantage of their misfortune!

"Xiao Mingyi, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Seeing Xiao Mingyi's furious appearance, Lin Hai also spoke at this moment.

"If your Xiao Family cannot produce one million spirit crystals within three days, once the experts from the Tiandu City Lin Family arrive, I'm afraid the Xiao Family's hundreds of years of foundation will turn into nothing."

"Even the hundreds of people in your Xiao Family could lose their lives because of this."

"Rather than letting these markets benefit the City Lord's Mansion, it's better to transfer them to our two great families now."

"Perhaps if our two great families are happy, if the Xiao Family truly encounters misfortune, we can also help take care of your wives and daughters..."

"Enough!"

Before Lin Hai finished speaking, Xiao Zhan also completely erupted.

As he took a step forward, the terrifying aura of the Nine Levels of Revolving Core Realm instantly swept towards the two people.

"Go back and tell your Family Head..."

"Although our Xiao Family is in trouble now, we are not just any stray cats and dogs that can be pounced on and bitten."

"If you want to annex our Xiao Family's market, have your Family Head come and beg on his knees!"

And the Great Elder did not speak at this time, also taking a step forward and releasing their aura, their energy locking onto the two people grimly.

It seemed as if they would all erupt and attack as soon as Xiao Zhan gave the order.

"Hehe, good backbone!"

Locked onto by four Core Formation Realm experts, Wang Xuan and Lin Hai's expressions were extremely ugly, but there was no trace of fear in their demeanor.

"Since your Xiao Family is shameless, don't blame our two families for being unkind!"

"Let's go!"

Although their two great families were not afraid of the Xiao Family when united, if the Xiao Family retaliated desperately, their two great families would also be severely weakened.

"Come when you want, leave when you want, do you really think my Xiao Family wouldn't dare to do anything to you?!"

Just as Wang Xuan and Lin Hai turned around to leave.

As a cold voice echoed, Xiao Chen also walked into the Xiao Family's inner courtyard at this moment.

A grim killing intent also spread out accordingly.

"Xiao Chen?!"

Seeing Xiao Chen walk into the inner courtyard.

Whether it was Xiao Zhan or Xiao Mingyi and others, they all showed expressions of great surprise at this moment.

After Xiao Chen's dantian was crippled and seven or eight of his ribs were broken.

These past two days, he had been like a living corpse, needing a maid to even feed him.

But now...

Not only was Xiao Chen's complexion rosy, but the cultivation aura on his body also made them unable to see through him.

This was simply seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

"Xiao Chen, are your injuries healed?!"

Xiao Zhan rubbed his eyes in disbelief and asked with some ecstasy.

"Little devil of the Xiao Family?"

Wang Xuan and Lin Hai's pupils slightly contracted upon seeing this, and expressions of disbelief also appeared on their faces.

They were well aware of the matter of Xiao Chen being severely injured and near death.

That kind of injury...

Even with Earth Rank spirit medicine to heal, he would still need to lie in bed for several days.

But now this guy actually appeared before them as if nothing had happened. Could it be that the Xiao Family had spent all their fortune to give him some Heaven Rank spirit medicine?

After exchanging a glance.

Both Wang Xuan and Lin Hai felt a sense of unease in their hearts. Then, without paying attention to Xiao Chen and the others, they coldly snorted and were about to walk out of the inner courtyard.

"If you dare to walk out of this courtyard, I can guarantee you will die a miserable death!"

Looking at the actions of Wang Xuan and Lin Hai, Xiao Chen shouted in a cold voice.

"Arrogant brat!"

"Even your Father, Xiao Zhan, wouldn't dare to say such arrogant words!"

"Who do you think you are, to dare to utter such arrogant words?!"

Wang Xuan snorted coldly upon hearing this, turned back, and coldly shouted.

But just as he finished speaking, a terrifying, grim killing intent poured down like a storm.

A figure, both aloof and enchanting, clad in fiery red, also slowly emerged from behind Xiao Chen.
