According to their estimates, the ancestor should come out of retreat in a month at the earliest, but they didn't expect him to come out so early, and at such a critical moment.
Looking at the Demon Heart Pool with sword marks and gravel all over the ground, they were all secretly worried.
Xiao Yujin was ecstatic and almost laughed out loud in front of all the elders.
The ancestor of the Xiao family was famous for his hot temper in the cultivation world.
Hundreds of years ago, just because a junior of the Yuwen family belittled the Xiao family behind his back, he was chased thousands of miles away. In the end, the head of the Yuwen family apologized and personally punished the junior in front of him, which calmed his anger. He even looked down
on the four major demon cultivation families. You can imagine how hot the temper of the ancestor of the Xiao family is.
If he saw the current state of the Demon Heart Pool, it would be strange if he didn't beat Gu Qingxi into a pulp on the spot.
Once he got angry, no matter how calm and wise the head of the family and the elders were, they couldn't stop him.
Soon, an old man came to the Demon Heart Hall with big strides. The
old man was short with white hair and beard, and every wrinkle on his face was full of traces of time, but he walked with the steps of a dragon and a tiger, and his back was straight, showing the heroism and domineering of the demon cultivator to the fullest.
Hundreds of Xiao family members followed behind, and they didn't surround their elders like the stars around the moon like ordinary family members, but kept a distance of more than ten feet.
They also heard a little about the big thing that happened in the Demon Heart Pool.
With the ancestor's hot temper, he would definitely start a war. They didn't want to be affected by the limited cultivation.
"I am Xiao Yujin, the unworthy descendant, and I pay my respects to the ancestor." As soon as the old man stepped into the hall, Xiao Yujin hurried forward, knelt on his knees and saluted respectfully.
"The unworthy descendant Xiao Ningzhi (Xiao Ningyuan, Xiao Ningli...), pays respect to the ancestor!" The head of the Xiao family and several elders also bowed to salute.
The ancestor of the Xiao family did not even look at them. His eyes slowly swept through the rubble in the hall and finally stopped at Gu Qingxi.
His old eyes gradually narrowed, and his hands began to tremble slightly.
Angry, the ancestor was really angry!
Noticing his trembling fingers, Xiao Yujin was even more ecstatic and almost started shaking.
The head of the Xiao family and Xiao Ningyuan were secretly worried, fearing that the ancestor would not ask questions and slap Gu Qingxi to death in anger. They both stepped forward at the same time and wanted to help Gu Qingxi explain.
"Grandfather, this person is called Gu Qingxi, a disciple of the Immortal Sect. She came to our Xiao family to observe the family competition a few days ago. We treated her with courtesy and specially invited her to the Demon Heart Pool for training.
Who knew that she had evil intentions and actually damaged the Demon Heart Pool into this state while we were away. She also used sweet words to deceive the head of the family and the elders, trying to sow discord and cheat her way through.
Please be wise, Grandfather, and execute this person on the spot as a warning to others!" Xiao Yujin finally found an opportunity to clear his suspicion, so he would not give them a chance to speak. He took another step forward and said with great sorrow.
"What did you say?" The ancestor of the Xiao family took his eyes off Gu Qingxi, as if he had just woken up from his anger, and asked Xiao Yujin.
"Grandfather, I said her name is Gu Qingxi, a disciple of the Immortal Sect..." Xiao Yujin repeated what he had just said, his expression even more distressed and angry.
Listening to his words, the anger in the eyes of the Xiao family ancestor gradually burned, and his tightly clenched fists trembled even more violently. Standing close, one could even hear the crackling sound of his finger bones rubbing against each other.
How angry must he be to be so angry?
Excited, Xiao Yujin was extremely excited.
The Demon Heart Pool had already been severely damaged by Gu Qingxi. When the ancestor took action with anger, not only would Gu Qingxi be dead, but the damage to the Demon Heart Pool would also be more serious.
The traces of his previous destruction of the formation would definitely be wiped out. Even if the head of the family and the elder had doubts about him, they could not find any evidence.
And once Gu Qingxi died, Xiao Yutang would certainly not be able to survive. The position of the head of the Xiao family was ultimately in his pocket.
"Gu Qingxi is so vicious, we must not listen to her one-sided words. I hope the ancestor will see through it and execute her on the spot..." Xiao Yujin's mouth was full of foam, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. In the end, he pointed his finger at Gu Qingxi, and his expression became extremely ferocious.
"Pa!" But this time, before he could finish his words, he saw the ancestor of the Xiao family waved his hand fiercely and slapped him in the face.
"Ah..." Xiao Yujin screamed, spitting out a mouthful of blood with teeth, turning around a few circles on the spot, and fell to the ground.
"Insolent, insolent!" The ancestor of the Xiao family was so angry that his hair and beard stood up, and he pointed at Xiao Yujin and shouted angrily.
Angry, the ancestor who always had a hot temper was indeed angry. But why did this anger not fall on Gu Qingxi, but on himself?
Xiao Yujin covered his rapidly swollen cheek and stared blankly at the furious ancestor, completely stunned by the slap.
Could it be that the ancestor was so angry that he needed to vent his anger, so he accidentally hurt himself? Many people with bad tempers are like this. Once they get angry, they don't care whether they are enemies or friends, they will beat them up first to vent their anger.
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yujin was so resentful and aggrieved that tears welled up in his eyes.
It was not easy for him to suppress the urge to hug the ancestor and cry, and reminded him weakly: "Ancestor, it was not me who damaged the Demon Heart Pool, it was..."
"Pah!" Before he finished speaking, the ancestor of the Xiao family slapped him again.
This time, the blow was heavier, and Xiao Yujin flew into the air. He flew several feet away and hit the wall heavily, and then he slid down softly like a pile of mud.
As soon as he landed, he lay on the ground, spitting out blood in large mouthfuls. There were teeth that were broken into pieces in the blood, and a trace of spiritual power also dissipated from his body.
It was obvious that the slap from the Xiao family ancestor not only broke his teeth, but also cracked his meridians and dantian. Even if he could recover from the injury, his cultivation would be greatly damaged.
After spitting out dozens of mouthfuls of blood, Xiao Yujin finally took a breath, raised his head, and looked at the ancestor in disbelief.
If the ancestor hit the wrong person because of anger the first time, how to explain this time?
All around, the head of the Xiao family and others were also stunned.
They were still worried that the ancestor would be so angry that he would slap Gu Qingxi to death without knowing the truth, but who knew that Gu Qingxi was not hurt at all, but Xiao Yujin was almost beaten to death by the ancestor.
It doesn't make sense. Even if the ancestor is angry and has a hot temper, he shouldn't vent his anger on his younger generation, right?
Not to mention others, even Gu Qingxi was a little confused when she saw the angry face of the Xiao family's ancestor.
"Xiao Changfeng, the seventh-generation descendant of the Xiao family, pays homage to the master!" Just when everyone was confused, the Xiao family's ancestor stepped forward a few steps to Gu Qingxi, knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.
The two flames in his eyes burned more vigorously, and his hands shook more violently.
But at this moment, everyone could see that it was not because of anger, but because of excitement and joy. Even his voice was choked with extreme excitement and joy.
