Central Continent
The Xie family, one of the four major families
On the day of Xie Tianyi's wedding, the Xie family mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.
Xie Zhenping, the head of the Xie family, has decent aptitude. Relying on the family's resources and his own ambitions, he has now reached the late stage of the Integration Realm.
He sat in the hall with a big smile on his face.
Xie Tianyi, the third son of the Xie family, and Li Feifei, his bride whom he was welcoming back to the mansion today, stood in the center of the hall.
The guests who came to attend the wedding banquet either crowded at the entrance of the hall, waiting to watch the newlyweds pay their respects to heaven and earth, or stood in small groups in the courtyard chatting.
The Xie residence was bustling with excitement and joy.
Just as the newlyweds were about to kowtow to heaven and earth, Xie Aotian descended from the sky and appeared in the courtyard of the Xie family mansion.
Xie Aotian wore a dark red robe, and his hair was tied up high with a dark red hair crown.
Looking at Xie Tianyi, who was full of pride and self-satisfaction, Xie Aotian felt a surge of hatred in his heart.
Xie Tianyi, dressed in red and beaming with joy, was particularly irritating to him.
Xie Aotian's fingers twitched slightly, and before anyone could see what happened, Xie Tianyi, who had been all smiles just a moment ago, was now coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.
The room was completely silent.
Xie Tian'ao originally intended to kill Xie Tianyi, but as he was about to strike, Xie Lanzhi's gentle and refined smile suddenly appeared in his mind.
The force of the blow was involuntarily reduced, and the person who would have been seriously injured to death was only beaten unconscious.
The scene became chaotic for a moment.
Among the crowd, the younger generation from the three major families who came to offer their congratulations—Yu Letian, Nangong Lingyu, and Ji Minghui—exchanged glances. Upon seeing the unfamiliar young man appear in the courtyard, they realized that his cultivation level was far superior to theirs. They stood up and cautiously retreated to the side.
The other guests also distanced themselves from Xie Aotian, scattering to corners to show their unwillingness to get involved in the Xie family feud.
Xie Tianyi's talent is average. After a hundred years of cultivation, he is currently at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, which he achieved by relying on pills. His combat strength is not as good as that of a more powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He is arrogant, domineering, and conceited.
Although he was the third young master of the Xie family, one of the four great families, he had a bad reputation and was not well-liked. Therefore, there were no highly respected cultivators who came to offer their congratulations.
They were either young members of large families who came out of politeness, or members of small sects and families who wanted to establish connections with the Xie family, or they were just some of Xie Tianyi's cronies.
Among the guests present, the highest cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, far from being a match for Xie Aotian. They all remained silent, choosing to protect themselves and stand aside to observe.
Xie Aotian is the second son of the Xie family patriarch in the Central Continent, born out of wedlock. His birth mother is unknown.
Xie Zhenping, the head of the Xie family, went out to explore a secret realm a hundred years ago. He stayed in the secret realm for ten years and brought Xie Aotian, who was only three years old, with him when he came out.
Xie Aotian's mother was a demon, with a fiery personality and a heroic spirit.
However, she is also simple-minded.
When he met the Xie family head, he was already at the late stage of the Mahayana realm, while Xie Zhenping, the Xie family head, was only at the early stage of the Integration realm.
Xie Zhenping was attracted by her charm and showered her with sweet words and tenderness.
Xie Zhenping deliberately approached and flattered her, and the two quickly became acquainted and had a relationship.
A year later, Xie Aotian's mother gave birth to a son for the Xie family head. The Xie family head had high hopes for this child and named him Xie Aotian, hoping that he would be outstanding and stand out from the crowd in the future.
After giving birth to Xie Aotian, Xie Aotian's mother was physically weak and her cultivation was damaged, causing her combat power to drop to only the level of the late stage of the Integration Realm.
Just as they were about to leave the secret realm, not far from the exit, they encountered a demonic beast with the cultivation level of the Mahayana stage.
In order to cover Xie Zhenping and Xie Aotian, who was only three years old at the time, to escape, Xie Aotian's mother fought a desperate battle with the monster.
Ultimately, he perished in the secret realm.
