Xiao Yutang also took this opportunity to introduce Gu Qingxi to them, but these teenagers were not very old, and most of them had been practicing hard in various famous mountains and rivers in recent years, so they had never heard of Gu Qingxi's name.
Of course, they did not dare to be rude to Xiao Yutang's friends, and they were still polite and close to each other.
As they were talking, the group came to the door.
Several middle-aged men with burly figures and murderous faces, who were particularly in line with the image of the devil cultivators in Di Feixue's mouth, were guarding the door. When they saw Xiao Yutang and others coming, they did not show a smile on their faces.
After looking at a few people, Xiao Yutang frowned slightly: he didn't know any of these guards.
"Stop, the Xiao family's important place, outsiders are not allowed to enter without notification." Seeing Xiao Yutang and others walking straight in, the middle-aged guard in the lead stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture, saying expressionlessly.
"What do you mean by outsiders? Look carefully, are we outsiders?"
"Who hired this guard? Don't they even know us?"
"Get out of here! You dare to act so arrogantly in front of us? Are you tired of living?" Hearing this, Xiao Yutang frowned even more, and the group of teenagers were furious. No matter how
young they are, they are all magic cultivators. They have been taught since childhood that magic cultivators will chop down injustices with a knife. It would be strange if they didn't get angry when they were blocked at the door by their own servants.
"If you are a member of the Xiao family, please show your family token. If you cause trouble without reason, you will be punished by family law!" The guards were not moved at all, and said coldly in unison.
"What did you say, punishment by family law?"
"What a big dog's guts, we have to show our token when we go back to our own home, what kind of rule is this!"
"You don't want to get out, right? Then don't blame us for being rude!" Hearing their words, a group of young men in their prime were even more angry, and those with bad tempers had already drawn their long swords and were ready to chop.
"This is the rule set by the eldest son, and the head of the family has no objection. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the eldest son or the head of the family to argue." At this time, an old man with a gloomy face came over and said to everyone with a cold snort.
"Third elder!" A group of young men who were originally aggressive suddenly lost their temper.
The old man who came was Xiao Ningli, the third elder of the Xiao family.
In an ancient family with strict rules like the Xiao family, it is a serious crime to commit crimes. If you disrespect your elders for no reason, being beaten is the least of the punishment. You will be directly abolished and expelled from the family without any reason.
"Aren't you dissatisfied? Do you want me to take you to see the eldest son and argue with him face to face?" Xiao Ningli's eyes swept across the faces of a group of young people, and his expression became even colder.
Under his stare, Xiao Yuhua and others lowered their heads one after another, without even the courage to look at him.
"This is my family token." A young man honestly took out the token and handed it to the middle-aged guard in the lead.
The guard checked and confirmed that it was the Xiao family token. He did not say anything, but stepped aside to make way.
Then, other young men also showed their tokens. After getting permission, they entered the gate with some unspeakable grievances.
"Third elder, do I need to show my token too?" Xiao Yutang did not take out the token, but put his hands behind his back and said indifferently to Xiao Ningli.
It would be fine if the elders or guardians were standing at the door to check the identity, but it was a few guards who had never been seen before. As a member of the Xiao family, he had to have his identity checked by servants from outside. This was clearly a great humiliation.
Xiao Yuhua and others were still young and could endure such humiliation, but he could not.
If he could even endure such humiliation, what qualifications did he have to stand up straight and be a man, and what qualifications did he have to compete for the position of young master or even master of the family?
"Second Young Master, you don't need to show your token, but the family competition is a once-in-a-century event for our Xiao family. In order to prevent someone from harming our Xiao family with ill intentions, the eldest young master has established this new rule.
Besides, the head of the family has no objection to this. We can't break the rules for you alone, right?" Xiao Ningli said indifferently.
The words were polite, but there was obviously no intention of giving in.
What rules? In the final analysis, isn't it just to give Xiao Yutang a warning and undermine his prestige in the Xiao family? Gu Qingxi curled her lips secretly.
She didn't expect that Xiao Yujin would use such a shameful method to compete for the position of head of the family. Although she hadn't met Xiao Yutang, her cousin, yet, Gu Qingxi had already developed a bit of disgust in her heart.
It's not that this method itself is so despicable. In order to fight for power and profit, all the wealthy families will do everything they can, and she has seen more despicable methods.
But the problem is that your Xiao family is a family of demon cultivators. If you want to compete for the position of the head of the family, you can fight and kill openly, even if you sneak attack and plot secretly, you can also hit with clubs and stab with black knives. Why do you have such a conspiracy?
Do you think you are a famous and upright family, a family of immortals?
Gu Qingxi's cultivation method does not distinguish between immortals and demons, or it can be said that immortals and demons account for half and half. Of course, she hates such unpromising demon disciples.
But this is the family affair of the Xiao family after all. She can't intervene no matter how much she dislikes it. Besides, Xiao Yutang hasn't made a move yet, so she has no reason to intervene.
I don't know how Xiao Yutang will respond to such a naked provocation from his cousin? Gu Qingxi put away the disgust for Xiao Yujin in her heart and looked at Xiao Yutang with interest.
Xiao Yutang performed well and did not disappoint him.
Looking at the weird smile of the third elder Xiao Ningli, Xiao Yutang said nothing, but slowly drew out his sword.
Although the spiritual power had not yet been injected, the cold light on the sword had already revealed a chilling murderous intent.
"Xiao Yutang, what are you going to do?" Xiao Ningli did not expect Xiao Yutang to be so ruthless and he cried out subconsciously.
"The Xiao family is the Xiao family of the Xiao family, not the Xiao family of outsiders. I want to see who dares to stop me, Xiao Yutang, from returning to my own home!" Xiao Yutang smiled coldly, holding a long sword, and walked straight inside.
The middle-aged guards finally changed their expressions and drew their long swords.
"Do you really want to stop me?" Xiao Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face became a little thicker, but also a little colder.
Although the guards remained calm on the surface, they were horrified in their hearts: What's going on? He clearly hasn't used his spiritual power yet, but why is his aura so cold, and how can the murderous intent be so strong?
Of course, they didn't know that Xiao Yutang's murderous intent came not only from himself, but also from Shen Mengli, a generation of heavenly monarch.
Back then, Shen Mengli had killed countless demons by herself. The murderous aura she exuded was so strong that it was beyond the imagination of later cultivators.
Although Xiao Yutang had only been in the Mengli Cave for three days, he relied on the spirit left by Shen Mengli in the sword technique to integrate a trace of killing intent into himself.
Don't underestimate this trace of killing intent. In today's cultivation world, many powerful people who have passed the tribulation may not have such a strong killing intent. And don't forget that there are basically no powerful people who have passed the tribulation in the Tiancang Continent today.
How can a few guards resist such killing intent? They held their swords tightly, and their palms were sweating coldly. They didn't have the slightest desire to fight.
"Stop!" Just when several guards were about to lose their strength and were about to throw away their swords, Xiao Ningli shouted.
Not only a few guards, but even he was about to lose his strength.
