Chapter 213 Master Xiao Huo is back

After Xiao Huo and Zhang Feifei left, Jiang Ming walked in.

Jiang Ming said: "Master, I have something to ask of you."

Lu Yuan looked at Jiang Ming.

Lu Yuan has always been very worry-free about his disciple Jiang Ming. Since he started practicing, he has always been down-to-earth, diligent and hardworking, and has never been lazy.

He may not be very talented, but he can work ten times harder than an average person.

It is said that for a cultivator, three parts rely on talent and seven parts rely on hard work. Jiang Ming, as a mortal, has always been able to keep up with other disciples of Daluo Sect. Even the speed of his strength growth has always been able to consistently rank among the top three disciples in the sect. One can imagine how tenacious this boy is.

He has always been the most down-to-earth one. He usually keeps a low profile, does more work and talks less. But today he suddenly has something to ask for.

Lu Yuan asked, "Disciple, what do you want to say? Just tell me."

A master and his apprentice are like father and son. Jiang Ming is an obedient child under Lu Yuan's tutelage. He is fundamentally different from Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. He can tell them if he has any difficulties.

Jiang Ming said, "Master, I met a fellow villager in Feilong City yesterday. He told me that my uncle had encountered some misfortunes in Qingshan City and his family had suffered misfortune, so I want to go back and take a look. Please allow me, Master."

Lu Yuan said, "If something happens at home, you should go back and take a look. It has been a year since you became my disciple, and now it is almost the New Year. You can go back and take a look. If you have any difficulties, you can send a message to me and I will help you solve them."

Jiang Ming had something going on at home, so Lu Yuan certainly wouldn't force him to stay. Besides, he had nothing else to do in Feilong City recently, so it might be a good idea for him to go back and take a look.

Although it is said that cultivators should cut off worldly ties, Lu Yuan has never thought that cultivators should completely cut off the seven emotions and six desires. If a person has lost these basic emotions, what is the point of becoming an immortal? If one abandons these basic emotions, even if one becomes an immortal, it is just an empty shell. Lu Yuan does not buy that.

Qingshan City is still some distance away from Feilong City, so Jiang Ming and Zhang Feifei can go together. Lu Yuan also lends them the Green Crane, and the two of them can ride the sect's Green Crane to Qingshan City.

Zhang Feifei went to do some work, and Jiang Ming went back to visit his relatives.

Xiao Huo went to visit relatives and do some business.

…

Heitan City, Xiao family, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Feng, sat in the main seat of the clan, and below him were the top leaders from the other two major families in Heitan City.

The three major families in Heitan City have been in a three-way balance of power for thousands of years.

In addition to the Xiao family, there are two other major families in Heitan City: the Murong family and the Zhou family.

At this moment, the top leaders of the three major families gathered in the Xiao family. They came to call for an explanation. The cause of the incident was that after the three-year agreement, Shangguan Huai, the general manager of the Imperial Capital Alchemist Alliance, ordered the withdrawal of the Alchemist Alliance branch in Heitan City overnight.

The Xiao family was banned, and the three major families in Heitan City were also implicated, and they could not buy any medicinal pills.

Now, not only has the Alchemist Alliance withdrawn, but the Murong family and the Zhou family are unable to buy pills from the Alchemist Alliance branches in other nearby cities. The other party won't even let them in.

The two major families blamed everything on the Xiao family, which is of course normal.

After all, the culprit was indeed Xiao Huo from the Xiao family.

Murong Tao cursed: "Xiao Feng, you gave birth to a good son. You can cancel the engagement if you want. Why do you have to make a three-year agreement? I really don't understand why your Xiao family has to fight with the Shangguan family and the Qinglan Sect? Can you beat them? Now, everyone will be buried with you, and no one will have any pills to eat!"

"Your Xiao Huo is quite capable. He was able to win the three-year agreement, but what's the use? If he wins, he will implicate your entire Xiao family. It's fine if he implicates your Xiao family, but he also drags our Zhou family into the water. Who did our Zhou family offend?"

"I don't care. Write a divorce letter and ask Xiao Huo to come back immediately. Go and apologize to Grandpa Shangguan. Maybe there will be a chance to pull us off the blacklist. If my Murong family doesn't have elixirs to eat in the future, I will fight you, Xiao family, to the death!"

"My Zhou family is the same. I will fight with your Xiao family!"

The two family heads almost overturned the table in the Xiao family.

Pills are the foundation of cultivation, and a family of immortal cultivators like theirs is in great need of the support of pills from the Alchemist Alliance.

Without the support of elixirs from the Alchemist Alliance, the three major families will only become weaker and weaker, and may even face a catastrophic disaster. How can they not be anxious?

The only way now is to let Xiao Huo come back quickly, send Miss Shangguan back, and then apologize; there is still time.

Xiao Feng sat in the seat of the Xiao family's patriarch, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

His son had been a good-for-nothing for three years. After breaking off his engagement, he left his hometown and rose strongly. Until recently, he heard that he had defeated Shangguan Yanran in the three-year agreement. The Xiao family was excited, and Xiao Feng, as a father, was even more happy for his son from the bottom of his heart.

But they didn't expect that the Shangguan family was so narrow-minded. They were unwilling to admit defeat and secretly engaged in these shameful activities against their Xiao family and even the entire Heitan City.

If it was just the Xiao family, it would be fine, but the problem is that the Murong and Zhou families are also implicated. Now the two major families are not happy and are causing trouble, which is giving Xiao Feng a headache.

For a moment, he had no good solution.

The more the two families talked, the more excited they became, and they even seemed to be ready to take action.

Seeing the two big families being so rude in the Xiao family, Xiao Feng, the father of Xiao Huo, snorted coldly. The Dragon Subduing Skill in Xiao Feng's body vibrated continuously, and a domineering spiritual energy was released, sweeping the whole place.

His fifth-level foundation-building cultivation shocked the crowd. He took a deep breath and gave an explanation.

"My son, Xiao Huo, was just fulfilling the three-year agreement. Shangguan Yanran was not as skilled as her and was defeated by my son. She should have fulfilled her promise. My son did nothing wrong. It is impossible for him to come back and apologize to the Shangguan family.

As for the elixirs in Heitan City, my Xiao family will give an explanation to the two major families. If it really doesn't work, I will swallow my pride and go to the imperial capital to have a talk with Shangguan Huai. For the sake of our old friendship, even if Shangguan Huai wants to target my Xiao family, I will try my best to let you go.

Now, are you satisfied? If the two families want to cause trouble again, my Xiao family will not be a pushover. I, Xiao Feng, will accompany them to the end."

Xiao Feng's words were a combination of soft and hard tactics. While providing a solution, it also showed that the Xiao family was not afraid of the two major families. If the quarrel continued, the worst that could happen was a fight.

The two major families knew about Xiao Feng's strength. This old fellow was extremely strong in actual combat, and he had the opportunity when he was young to obtain a special fragment of the Dragon Subduing Kung Fu. His spiritual energy and power were extremely domineering, and he had few rivals among his peers in Heitan City.

If he really took action, no one would benefit. At this moment, Xiao Feng had provided a solution. The two families stopped making trouble and their expressions eased.

"Okay, I hope Patriarch Xiao Feng will keep his word. We will wait for your news."

"Goodbye!"

The two major families were about to turn around and leave the Xiao family, but had not yet walked out of the main hall.

Suddenly, a crane's cry was heard in the sky above the Xiao family, and a huge green crane descended on the Xiao family. Outside the Xiao family, a servant immediately came in to report.

"Master, Young Master Xiao Huo is back!"

Xiao Feng stood up from the chair.

"My son is back?" Xiao Feng was overjoyed and hurried out to greet him.

"Master Xiao Huo is back?"

The other elders of the Xiao family also stood up, with different expressions.

Now that the three-year agreement has ended, they did not go to Qinglan Sect to watch the event in person during the three-year agreement, but they also heard the rumors outside.

It is said that Xiao Huo showed great power during the three-year agreement, and his cultivation broke through the Golden Core stage. During the battle, he used a secret method to break through to the eighth or ninth level of the Golden Core stage, almost exerting a combat power close to that of the Nascent Soul stage.

Xiao Huo now has enough strength to crush all of them.

As for these elders of the Xiao family, they were very cold to Xiao Huo when he was in his low period. It was really ordinary.

Now that the positions were reversed and Xiao Huo returned home in glory, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

When the people from the Murong family and the Zhou family heard that Xiao Huo had returned, they also looked unnatural.

Xiao Huo, this guy came back at this time? It's really weird.

I heard that this kid has now broken through the Golden Core stage and defeated Shangguan Yanran, the top inner sect master of Qinglan Sect. He is very popular now.

Today, their two major families came to the Xiao family to force his father. If Xiao Huo knew about it, there would inevitably be trouble.

I'm in trouble.

The people from the two big families suddenly felt a headache.

Jindan cultivators are not so easy to offend.
