"I'm getting old, and my heart isn't doing well. If I accidentally die, I won't be able to answer some of the questions that Xiaoying wants to know."
"Grandpa, tell me first, where did I give myself away?" Xia Xiang asked curiously.
"I was bluffing you, but you couldn't hold back and gave yourself away," Yehenara Xiongba laughed. "There must have been some arrangement that even Grandpa couldn't reverse the decline, so you just confidently exposed yourself?"
"What arrangements could I possibly make? I'm just a pitiful little thing, all I rely on is my grandfather's trust and indulgence," Xia Xiang said innocently. "You're my own grandfather, would I ever harm you?"
"It's your second uncle who wants to kill you~"
“Oh~” Yehenara Xiong Ba raised an eyebrow. “How come I didn’t know he had that ability?”
"Of course you don't know," Xia Xiang said innocently. "I had someone instigate it. He's very good at stirring things up. He can handle your trusted team, and the rest will be my people."
"Grandpa is really getting old, you've outsmarted me." Yehenara Xiongba sighed, looking quite troubled. "Actually, you don't need to go to such lengths. Everything that belongs to Grandpa is yours. You don't need to risk your life."
Xia Xiang shook her head with a smile, "You've threatened my life quite a few times over the years, haven't you? You shameless old man, how dare you say it out loud."
Before Yehenara Xiongba could say anything more, a commotion arose outside. Yehenara Sisi and her men surrounded the people in the banquet hall.
"Everyone, the sect leader insists on making this member of the righteous Xia Lanxingde family the future sect leader of the Yehenara family. I, Yehenara Sisi, have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure in order to protect the Yehenara family's thousand-year foundation. I hope you will all join me in pleading with the sect leader to kill this member of the Xia Lanxingde family," Yehenara Sisi said righteously.
The people in the hall were silent for a moment, but since neither Yehenara Xiong Ba nor Xia Xiang spoke, the crowd began to stir.
The girl who was chosen as the successor is currently enjoying great popularity. Although her appearance was rather sudden, she was indeed approved by the current sect leader.
No one told them that this girl was from the legitimate world, and that she was the young master's daughter.
"Pfft~" Xia Xiang laughed out loud, "So Second Uncle is trying to force the emperor to abdicate, huh? Look how capable you are."
The previously restless crowd moved in unison behind Yehenara Xiong Ba and Xia Xiang, creating a clear dividing line in the hall.
"Lanling King" Xia Xiang shouted directly
"Yes," Lanling Wang walked to Xia Xiang's side.
"What happens to those who usurp the throne?" Xia Xiang asked casually, fiddling with the Supreme Ring on her hand.
The Prince of Lanling replied respectfully, "The usurper shall be executed by slow slicing, and all those involved shall have their entire clan exterminated."
“Yes, kill them.” Xia Xiang took two steps back to the side of Yehenara Xiong Ba, who remained motionless.
Lanling Wang immediately engaged Yehenara Xiong Ba's remaining guards in a fierce battle with Yehenara Sisi.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa," Xia Xiang whispered in Yehenara Xiong Ba's ear.
"I forgot that your second uncle poisoned you, but don't worry. This poison won't damage your soul, but it will paralyze it, so you might not be able to use your Soul Travel Technique for the time being."
"After all, you must value your life, right?"
"How did you know?" Yehenara Xiongba asked.
"You mean the Soul Travel Technique?" Xia Xiang asked. "Dad let it slip."
The interaction between Xia Xiang and Yehenara Xiong Ba appeared to everyone like a granddaughter comforting her grandfather, which did not arouse any suspicion.
Before long, the rebellion in the hall was quelled by Lanling Wang, and Yehenara Sisi was naturally brought under control.
Before anyone could even breathe a sigh of relief, that guy led the Iron Guard into the hall and surrounded it menacingly.
Xia Xiang took out a white pen-like object from her chest pocket, enlarged it in her hand, and inserted it directly into the center of the hall.
White light began to spread from the center point, forming intricate patterns that quickly expanded to every corner of the hall.
Everyone in the hall felt a sudden weakness, and some with weaker abilities collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
This is a portable demon-slaying array. The array patterns are pre-drawn, and it can trap a large group of demonized humans or demons in the simplest way. However, the user's energy must be strong enough. Xia Xiang can usually hold out for 10 to 20 minutes without any problem.
As if he had expected all of this, Lanling Wang put away the blood-stained Lanling Blade and stood obediently beside Xia Xiang.
The leader of the Iron Guards was a haggard-looking Jiu Wu, his eyes red as he strode toward Xia Xiang.
The city guards from all directions suppressed their curiosity and went about their own business: those who needed to be detained were detained, and those who needed to be executed on the spot were executed on the spot. Only Ah Kou pretended to be slacking off, with a look of detached amusement on his face.
At this moment, everyone in the hall realized that the person who seemed to be from the righteous path had actually done such a dark thing.
"Little fatty! I'll settle the score with you later!"
Xia Xiang thought Jiu Wu was going to hug her, so she opened her arms, but her face was suddenly pinched.
"Let go! Don't I have any dignity?" Xia Xiang easily slapped Jiu Wu's hand away and complained.
Jiu Wu glared at her fiercely, but he looked very haggard and had no intimidating presence.
"Hahaha," Yehenara Xiong Ba laughed out loud, "Xiao Ying, you truly live up to your reputation as a member of the Yehenara family. You've even managed to keep this scoundrel under your control."
Of course, the Iron Guards, who had their ears perked up, heard this.
"Don't try to claim kinship with me. This little fat boy is my family's," Jiu Wu said coldly.
“Jiu Wu, it’s alright.” Xia Xiang pulled Jiu Wu and shook her head. “Grandpa, just because I have half the blood of the Yehenara family flowing in my veins, it’s more appropriate for me to put you in prison, isn’t it?”
As Xia Xiang spoke, she took out handcuffs specially made by Bamo Island and directly handcuffed Yehenara Xiong Ba.
"Xiao Ying, whatever you want, whether it's the Yehenara family or anything else, Grandpa will give it to you."
"But Grandpa still has to put up a fight. I can't let you win too easily. You understand, right?"
After Yehenara Xiong Ba finished speaking, before Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu could react, he shouted, "Activate Stone Heart!"
Xia Xiang froze on the spot—
This isn't that low-level version of Illusion Eye; it doesn't need to take that long.
"Kill Jiuwu!" Yehenara Xiongba ordered Xia Xiang, his eyes full of amusement as he looked at Jiuwu.
The next second, Xia Xiang's hand grabbed Jiu Wu's neck.
