The Su family is going to hold a clan meeting.
As soon as the news came out, it spread throughout the Su Mansion, and even several noble families who came to inquire about the news knew about it.
There was no way around it. The morning's commotion was truly massive. Most of the people outside Wuliu City had seen the Demon Rabbit's True Soul floating in mid-air. Even the Su Mansion, as the lord of Wuliu City, couldn't suppress such a thing happening in broad daylight.
But apart from the witnesses who were present at the time, basically no one knows the truth about what happened and who was the culprit.
Afterwards, Su Changyun issued a gag order to the witnesses, and since no one was frightened by the Demon Rabbit's true spirit, they dared to spread the truth.
At night, seven o'clock.
In the clan hall of the lord's mansion, the chairs on both sides were filled with the elders, elders of the Su family, and even the lord's two wives and legitimate children.
As for the seat in the middle, there were only two people sitting there, the lord's first wife, Li Xiangyu, and the lord's illegitimate daughter, Su Yuechen.
Logically speaking, the status of the eldest lady and the illegitimate daughter in the mansion is as different as heaven and earth. One is in heaven and the other is on earth. It is impossible for them to sit together as equals.
But at this time, when the two of them were sitting here, the eldest lady Li Xiangyu no longer had her usual arrogance. Instead, her expression was panicked, her eyes flickered, and from time to time she would glance towards Su Yuechen's position, her eyes also full of fear and disbelief.
The eldest lady was not a forgetful person. As a seventh-ring magician, she had deeply experienced what despair and helplessness were in the morning. The other party suppressed all the magic power in her body with just the fluctuations of his breath. The feeling of having her life and death in the hands of others was simply unheard of.
If Elder Su Changyun had not come to her aid, she might have really died at the hands of Su Yuechen.
"Ah... so boring, when does this meeting start...?"
Compared to Li Xiangyu's panic, Su Yuechen's state was beyond the expectations of everyone present. She just leaned lazily on the chair, yawning from time to time, and didn't even look at the lady in front of her.
Hearing Su Yuechen's blunt voice, the eldest lady's eyes flickered a few times before she whispered, "Su Yuechen, I was indeed wrong this time, but I am your aunt in name only, and also your mother. Do you really want to fight to the death with me? As long as you are willing to reconcile with me, I will agree to any compensation you want!"
"kindness?"
Xu Xianxian, who was resting with her eyes closed, only opened one eye with difficulty when she heard this, and slowly leaned forward. Her frail body was so close to the eldest lady that the fragrance of the two women blended together, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
"Tsk tsk..." She sniffed the fragrance of the eldest lady like a playboy. "Li Xiangyu, you are already in your fifties and the mother of several children. How do you maintain such good health? Su Shiheng usually dotes on you and turns a blind eye to your arrogance. It seems there is a reason. You look so anxious and confused. I feel pity for you!"
Li Xiangyu is a seven-ring magician after all, and her appearance does age slowly, so she is still beautiful and charming. She is considered a beauty, much more beautiful than the body possessed by Xu Xianxian.
"You...what do you mean?" As both women, nominally even mother and daughter, Li Xiangyu should have reacted indifferently. But now, the other party was teasing her like a playboy. This unprecedented situation made her feel uncomfortable all over. "I...I am your aunt, the first wife your father married in a formal ceremony..."
"Hahaha... so what? The compensation I want is simple. It's you..." Xu Xianxian laughed, leaned back in her chair, and moved away from Li Xiangyu. Seeing her expression change drastically and her face flushed red because of her words, she finished the rest of her words: "Your... life."
The last word "life" seemed to condense the murderous intent into substance, causing Li Xiangyu's breathing to stagnate, and then her face turned purple.
"Su Yuechen, if you want to kill me, you'll be going against the entire Su and Li families. If I die in your hands, Shiheng won't let you go, and neither will the Li family! You're going to fight me to the death!"
Li Xiangyu took a deep breath and spoke in a timid tone, looking at Su Yuechen with eyes full of resentment. She had never been so humble to please others as today and endured such abnormal humiliation.
"A fight to the bitter end? You...are you worthy enough?" Xu Xianxian curled her lips, narrowed her eyes, and laughed, like a tiger eyeing its prey. "You know what? If the Su family weren't still useful to me, I wouldn't have turned against you so immediately. Otherwise, even with so many high-ranking members of the Su family and two great mages present, it would still be as easy as crushing an ant for me to crush you. You were so close to me, and with your tiny body, I could kill you with just a breath!"
The range of the Dark True Soul Power is not as large as that of magic. Under normal circumstances, the effective distance is only 500 meters, but it is extremely powerful within 50 meters. Magicians of the same level will not even have time to cast spells before their spells are interrupted and they will be hammered endlessly.
Not to mention it's so close.
Even if Su Changyun joined forces with another great wizard, he would not be able to save Li Xiangyu.
The reason why Xu Xianxian didn't take action immediately was that she wanted to make good use of the Li family's resources. If she killed everyone, she would not only be wanted by the Yuehua Kingdom, but also lose the supply of resources and power network.
"You are absolutely lawless! You have no respect for your elders! I have sent a letter to my father and brother in the provincial capital. They will arrive in Wuliu City soon. With the power of my father and elder brother, you will definitely not be able to kill me."
Li Xiangyu smiled coldly. Now that the relationship had completely fallen out, the fear she had felt before was suppressed a lot, and only anger and resentment remained.
As the eldest lady of the Su family, she was the first lady of the Su family. Everyone in the Su family would greet her with courtesy and goodwill. When would she be judged by this royal family meeting?
It was all Su Yuechen's fault, that lowly slave girl. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she actually pushed her to this point.
"Oh?" Xu Xianxian curled her lips in disdain. "The weak are weak. When something happens, they only ask their elders for help. If you beat the young, the old ones will come. If you beat the old, the even older ones will come. But I want to see how many people in your family are willing to come and die? And how many people can they afford to die?"
If the Li family attacked her, she would fight back and kill them in self-defense, which would not be considered a violation of the kingdom's laws and would not result in her being wanted by the entire country. As for the strong men of the Li family, she did not take them seriously.
Although her Dark True Soul Technique has only reached the tenth level, she still possesses the true spirit of a legendary fairy. Apart from the legendary wizard herself who can pose a fatal threat to her, even a great wizard of the thirteenth or fourteenth rings can only suppress her but cannot kill her.
