“Xiao… Oh no, Yun Che…” Xiao Ze’s legs trembled, and he swallowed his saliva and said, “My grandson Chengzhi followed Xiao Kuangyun to the Xiao Sect three years ago, and is now also a member of the Xiao Sect’s main sect. Can you… Can you do this for Chengzhi’s sake…”
To them, Xiao Sect is like a divine palace. Being able to enter Xiao Sect is the greatest honor in life. Xiao Ze wanted to use Xiao Chengzhi who entered Xiao Sect to make Yun Che afraid, but before he could finish, he was stabbed by Yun Che's cold eyes and couldn't say a word: "Xiao Chengzhi? Hey, don't say that after he entered Xiao Sect, he was just the lowest level, not even as good as a gatekeeper. Even if Xiao Juetian, the leader of Xiao Sect, came, I would settle accounts with him today! The debt owed by his son, he, as a father, can't get away with it!"
Yun Che's words were icy and heart-piercing. It was clear that he did not even take Xiao Juetian, the leader of the Xiao Clan, seriously. Everyone's heart trembled as they listened... If he didn't even take Xiao Juetian seriously, then what was Xiao Chengzhi... No no! He was not even a fart at all.
BANG!!
Yun Che kicked Xiao Yunhai away with a flying kick, and Xiao Yunhai's body flew sideways, knocking over a dozen disciples behind him. However, Yun Che did not kill anyone in his several attacks, otherwise, with his current strength, even if he only used a little bit of strength, it would be enough to kill anyone. Xiao Yunhai was able to become the leader of the Xiao Sect, so he was naturally not a complete fool. He also realized this, struggled to straighten his body, and said: "Yun Che, what happened back then... We were sorry for you and the fifth elder... But at that time, we were also forced by the situation. We couldn't afford to offend the people of the Xiao Sect... If we didn't do that, none of us would have a good ending... We drove you out of the Xiao Sect only because you really don't have the blood of the Xiao Sect... But after all, we in the Xiao Sect raised you for sixteen years..."
Xiao Yunhai was naturally not a chaste and steadfast person who would rather die than surrender, otherwise he would not have betrayed and framed his own people in order to please Xiao Kuangyun. So after realizing that Yun Che did not seem to want to kill them, he immediately began to beg.
“Bullshit!” Yun Che frowned and cursed, “Necessarily? Xiao Kuangyun didn’t even see my aunt on the first day he came here, so how could he have any dirty thoughts about her! You guys staged a frame-up on the second day, and you actually had the nerve to say you had no choice? Also, the person who raised me was my grandfather Xiao Lie, not you, the Xiao Clan! All you gave me was condescending disdain, contempt, ridicule, and bullying! I will never forget these.”
As Yun Che spoke, his eyes swept across everyone present. No matter who met his gaze, they all felt cold all over, especially those who had mocked and ridiculed him for being useless time and time again. They all lowered their heads like lightning, trembling all over, not daring to breathe...
If the person standing in front of them was an ordinary strong man, they would never shrink back like this. After all, with so many people from the Xiao Sect united, they could be called the strongest force in Floating Cloud City. But the strength displayed by Yun Che was too terrifying. Xiao Bo, Xiao Yunhai, Xiao Li... these three people who were the strongest in the Xiao Sect at the moment, didn't even have the ability to struggle in his hands. He casually shattered the earth with a sword, and many people's hearts were horrified and shattered on the spot.
Faced with the pressure brought by such strength, they could only feel fear and had no courage to resist.
Xiao Bo's right arm was completely disabled, Xiao Li was nailed to the wall, his screams had become extremely hoarse, the sect leader Xiao Yunhai half-knelt on the ground, his face covered in blood, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Ze's legs and feet were obviously trembling, and they dared not take a step forward... The whole Xiao Sect was filled with an atmosphere of near despair. Looking at Yun Che, who was releasing heavy pressure, resentment and murderous aura from his whole body, they almost regretted it... Yun Che, who is now famous all over the world, is actually Xiao Che who was driven out by their vicious words! If they had not done these insidious and vicious things in order to please Xiao Kuangyun, Yun Che's current glory would benefit their Xiao Sect! The reputation of the Xiao Sect will undoubtedly soar to the sky, and it will even be no less than the branch sect of the Xiao Sect...
The name of the Xiao Clan will become known throughout the world.
They will also be linked to the royal family and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace because of Yun Che.
This was something they had never dared to dream of. It was a million times better than the tiny donation from Xiao Zong three years ago!
However, all that could have been achieved was completely destroyed because of their greed and insidiousness three years ago... What replaced it was Yun Che's hatred and the very likely doom.
For the first time in their lives, Xiao Yunhai and several elders clearly understood how to write the word "regret", but there was no regret medicine in the world, and they could never turn back time. This was also the cause they had sown, and they could not blame anyone else. They had to bear the consequences themselves.
Xiao Cheng said carefully, "Yes... all of this is our fault. We were completely blinded by the prestige of the Xiao Sect at the time, but... but all of this was the idea of the previous Young Sect Master Xiao Yulong! We just... just cooperated with Xiao Yulong, and Xiao Yulong got his retribution afterwards. That night, his eyes were dug out, his nose and ears were cut off, his tongue was cut off, and his tendons in his hands and feet were severed... and... he became a eunuch... and died a few days later... None of this was really our idea!"
The matter of Xiao Yulong had always been a taboo in the Xiao Clan, otherwise Xiao Yunhai would go crazy. But at this moment, in order to save his life, Xiao Cheng had to bring up the matter, and put all the blame on the tragic death of Xiao Yulong. Yun Che looked to the side and sneered, "You are right, these are all retribution... the retribution he deserves! And after you did what you did that day, didn't you ever think that sooner or later you would also get retribution!!"
Yun Che's voice was still in their ears, but his figure had disappeared in an instant. Xiao Cheng and Xiao Ze simultaneously felt a profound force as sharp as a blade and as violent as a tsunami coming towards them.
Bang!
Bang!
The two slaps overlapped and were so loud that they made the eardrums tremble. Xiao Ze and Xiao Cheng were slapped at the same time and flew up, falling far away, and collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time. Blood oozed from the corners of their mouths, and their old faces turned blood red. The side of their faces that was slapped was swollen to two or three times its usual size. They covered their old faces that seemed to be burned by fire and howled in pain.
The figure flashed again, and Yun Che had returned to the position where he stood before. His speed was so fast that no one present could see clearly. Yun Che crossed his arms and sneered, "But don't worry, I won't kill you for the time being, otherwise, you would have been turned into pieces by now. It's not that I don't want to kill you, but my grandfather and my aunt are kind and benevolent by nature, and have never been involved in killing in their lives. In addition, you and my grandfather and my aunt are from the same family after all. If I just kill you all, they will feel that your death is related to them, and thus bear the guilt."
Upon hearing this, the few people who had been in despair were all overjoyed. But then they suddenly thought of something and their faces changed again, becoming even uglier than before.
Xiao Yunhai struggled to get up and said, "Yes... We were the first to offend the Fifth Elder. We deserve the retribution we received today for our big mistake. As long as you... forgive us today, we in the Xiao Sect will follow your lead in the future. As long as it is your reasonable request... no, request, we will definitely comply even if it means risking our lives, just hoping to make up for the mistake we made back then."
Yun Che saw all the changes in their facial expressions. He was slightly suspicious, but he didn’t take it too seriously. He looked at Xiao Yunhai coldly and said, “Xiao Yunhai, you have a good plan. You kicked me out of the Xiao Sect back then, but now you are thinking about getting involved with me? Very good, since you Xiao Sect want to be obedient, then now, I have something for you to do!”
Yun Che’s eyes darkened as he looked at everyone and said coldly, “All of you, go to the Siguo Gorge in the back mountain now, kneel down at the place where my grandfather and my aunt are imprisoned, and beg them to leave the Siguo Gorge! If you beg them to leave, I will consider sparing your lives and let your fate be decided by grandfather. If you can’t beg... then you will kneel down until you die!”
Yun Che is not a kind person, but Xiao Lie is, and so is Xiao Lingxi. Especially Xiao Lie, if he did not value friendship and loyalty, how could he bear the ridicule and criticism of thousands of people, and raise Yun Che, who has a crippled profound vein and is not his biological grandson, with great difficulty. Yun Che knows what the result will be if he leaves the fate of these people to Xiao Lie. Even if they are very sorry to Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie still cannot be cruel to them... Yun Che understands it very well, but he can only choose this way. Otherwise, as he said, it will make his grandfather's heart bear a sense of guilt that is difficult to remove.
But he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, the expression on the face of the Xiao Clan man in front of him was not surprise and relief, but fear that was magnified several times. His brows suddenly tightened, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
“This… this… this…” Although this was a great hope that fell from the sky and was almost like a gift, Xiao Yunhai and the others felt cold all over. Xiao Yunhai half-knelt down, his whole body limp, unable to stand up again. He said in a hoarse voice filled with deep fear: “Fifth…Fifth Elder, and Xiao Lingxi… have… have… have…”
Yun Che’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his entire body suddenly released an icy murderous aura. He rushed to Xiao Yunhai, grabbed his collar, and said with red eyes, “What happened to my grandfather and my aunt? What happened to them... Tell me! Tell me quickly!”
Being grabbed by Yun Che, Xiao Yunhai suffocated for a while, and his face turned pale. Xiao Cheng, who was standing next to him, covered his swollen face and shuddered as he said, "They... they are no longer in the back mountain..."
Yun Che’s head made a buzzing sound, and the world spun violently.
A chilling murderous aura as if from hell made everyone tremble. Xiao Cheng swallowed hard, fearing that Yun Che would suddenly become furious and kill him, and said in a panic: “It’s the Burning Heaven Sect… It’s someone from the Burning Heaven Sect…”
“Three days ago, a group of people from the Burning Heaven Sect suddenly arrived here… They claimed that they wanted to take Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi away… We had no idea why, and they didn’t explain anything to us… We didn’t dare to resist the Burning Heaven Sect’s orders, and could only watch them go to the back mountain… They took away the fifth elder and Xiao Lingxi… They were from the Burning Heaven Sect… It really had nothing to do with us…”
“~!@#¥%…” Something seemed to explode in Yun Che’s brain. Every drop of blood, every nerve, and every bit of soul in his body was completely filled with the sudden surge of anger and resentment.
