Six Clans Besiege the Xiao Clan!

Buzz!!! Through the void, a young man clad in white robes sped past. He had not taken killing Long Qu to heart in the slightest. He was merely the administrator of Qingyun Continent's Northern Region. Dead was dead. Besides... Upon learning this news, the Lord of Qingyun would probably grin from ear to ear. Shenbao Domain, the Meng clan. Li Guanqi tore through the void and arrived. The Meng clan's patrol guards immediately moved to surround him. Yet as soon as they clearly saw the newcomer's face, they hastily sheathed their weapons and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Young Master Li!" Li Guanqi smiled, cupping his hands in return. "Thank you for your hard work, everyone." As he spoke, Li Guanqi raised his hand and presented each of them with a small bottle of cultivation pills. All of them had been concocted by Sun Miao and were of exceptionally high quality—a modest gesture of goodwill. Seeing this, the patrol guards looked on covetously, yet none dared accept. Only after Li Guanqi pressed the vials into their hands did they finally take them. The captain at their head bowed with a smile. "Then many thanks, Young Master Li. If you ever have need of us in the future, please do not hesitate to speak." Li Guanqi chuckled. "You're too kind. If anything ever happens with the Xiao clan, I would be endlessly grateful if you could lend a helping hand when convenient." The man promptly thumped his chest and promised that whenever they encountered Xiao clan disciples outside, they would help however they could. Li Guanqi inquired softly, "By the way, how has Wanshu been lately?" The man's expression grew solemn, and he answered in a low voice, "Ever since the Saintess returned last time, she has entered secluded cultivation. It seems there was some issue with her cultivation. "However, rest assured, Young Master Li, it is nothing serious." Only then did Li Guanqi feel somewhat relieved. In truth, another question lingered in his heart, though he did not voice it aloud. Within range of his divine sense, he had not detected Meng Jiangchu's aura! *Could Uncle Meng not be in the domain?* Turning around, Li Guanqi frowned slightly. Throughout the entire domain, there was no sign of Meng Jiangchu's presence. He produced a jade slip and sent a message, but received no response at all. "By the way, could you provide me with a map to the Xiao clan?" Hearing this, the man hurriedly took out a blank jade slip, imprinted the Xiao clan's location into it, and handed it to Li Guanqi with both hands. After a moment's thought, Li Guanqi left one of his own jade slips with the man. "If anything comes up in the future, you may contact me." Treating it like a priceless treasure, the man received it with both hands and carefully stowed it away. Once Li Guanqi departed, the group instantly swarmed their captain. "Hahaha, Brother Zhou, Venerable Yanluo actually gave you his personal communication jade slip!" "Brother Zhou, take it out and let us have a look... That's Yanluo Sword Li Guanqi!" The corners of the man's mouth curled upward uncontrollably. Putting on a stern face, he snapped, "What's there to look at? Get lost, all of you. "Go do your patrols properly. I'll let you see it after our shift." After leaving the Meng clan's domain, Li Guanqi looked in all directions and took a deep breath. Yet at this moment, Li Guanqi had no idea that an uninvited group of guests had arrived in the Xiao clan's domain! Xiao Chen sat upon the main seat of the grand hall, his expression grim to the extreme. Beside him sat a somewhat weary middle-aged woman. The woman had a voluptuous figure, with an air of authority between her brows, yet deep in her eyes lay a profound sense of helplessness and exhaustion. Below, six individuals sat divided between the left and right. Each radiated an exceptionally formidable aura. Even as guests of the Xiao clan, they did not conceal their oppressive pressure in the slightest. The middle-aged man at their lead spoke with a sneer. "Kid, it's about time your family moved out today, isn't it? "Remember to leave the spiritual veins behind. After all, that counts as the debt your Xiao clan borrowed from our family back then." Xiao Chen kept his hands tucked in his sleeves. His expression betrayed not the slightest change, and even his eyes showed no ripple of emotion. Yet hearing this, Xiao Chen's mother, Cheng Yun, flew into a furious rage! With a trembling finger, she pointed at the triangular-eyed man and cursed, "Ding Gengyang! Bullshit! "When has our Xiao clan ever borrowed spirit stones from your Ding clan?!" Beside herself with rage, she slammed the table and rose! "You ungrateful wolf! When you broke through to the Soul Formation Realm back then, you knelt like a dog before the grand hall of our Xiao clan, begging Old Xiao for a Soul Formation Pill! "And now you dare bring people to carve up the Xiao clan? Has a dog eaten your conscience?!" The triangular-eyed Ding Gengyang slammed his palm down, violently shattering the table beside him! With a countenance dark to the extreme, he glared at the woman and was just about to speak... Bang!! A blood-colored spear grazed past the corner of the man's mouth out of thin air, its blade darting straight for his throat!! Startled, the man let out a cold snort and raised his hand to slash with a sword. The woman beside Ding Gengyang struck at the same time. Two longswords jabbed violently against the spearhead. The tremendous force compelled both of them, along with the chairs beneath them, to slide backward several zhang! The Blood God Spear was deflected, immediately hurtling back. Sitting upright in his chair, Xiao Chen reached out his right hand and gripped the Blood God Spear tightly in his palm, not retreating half a step! Staring coldly at the pair, Xiao Chen said chillingly, "If you dare utter another insult toward my mother, I will kill you today." The frigid killing intent caused the man's breath to hitch. Beside them, an elegantly dressed woman abruptly stood up. Her chilling spiritual pressure caused the temperature in the hall to plummet. The surrounding torchlight flickered incessantly. The woman narrowed her eyes at Xiao Chen and spoke in an icy tone. "Heh, so the Xiao clan intends to make enemies of us!" The others also rose slowly, and the pressure of six Void Refining Realm experts erupted with a roar!!! Bang!!! The chair beneath Xiao Chen shattered to pieces as terrifying pressure bore down on him like towering mountains. Xiao Chen stepped abruptly in front of his mother, bearing the pressure of all six experts alone with spear in hand! His legs trembled uncontrollably, yet his spine remained straight and tall, even as both feet crushed the bluestone tiles and sank into the floor... Clenching his teeth, veins bulged on Xiao Chen's forehead. Debt, my ass! These people were clearly here to kick them while they were down. The Xiao clan happened to possess six high-grade spirit veins—how could such a thing be a coincidence?! The others sneered as well. "Heh, still too young after all. Too rigid, and you'll easily break!" "Indeed. Kid, can't you see the situation clearly?" "Bow your head, take your clansmen and leave, and you can still keep your lives. Do you really want to put up a stubborn resistance to the end?" "Hahahahaha, this kid couldn't possibly be thinking that someone will still come to help your Xiao clan at a time like this, could he?" Their words were like blades, stabbing into Xiao Chen one by one. The several elders behind him glared in fury, yet at this moment, they could only rely on the young man before them to resist the opposing pressure... An elder with clouded eyes could not help but weep, muttering through his tears, "Could it be... the heavens truly wish to destroy our Xiao clan?!" Suddenly!!! A pressure filled with murderous malice, as if intent on destroying the world itself, abruptly descended!!! In just a single breath, that overwhelming pressure violently shattered the combined aura of the six experts. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!! Six consecutive sounds of shattered bluestone rang out! The six formidable experts who had arrived with such arrogance were now suppressed onto their knees, trembling violently as they struggled against this crushing pressure. A look of sheer terror flashed deep within all of their eyes!
