After the three people from the Misty Cloud Sect retreated in a sorry state, the entire matter of the annulment of the engagement was finally temporarily put to an end. However, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Bieli were both very clear in their hearts that the Misty Cloud Sect would not let this matter rest.
For this reason, Xiao Zhan was a little faintly worried. After all, the Misty Cloud Sect was a colossus that the current Xiao clan could not afford to offend.
Xiao Bieli, however, had a relaxed expression. He did not believe that the tiny Misty Cloud Sect would really dare to risk the world's condemnation and destroy the Xiao clan. After all, the Xiao Clan had preserved one-eighth of the Tou She Ancient God's Jade. Before this one-eighth of the Tou She Ancient God's Jade appeared, the other clans that had coveted it for a long time would probably not sit idly by and watch the Xiao Clan be destroyed.
Compared to the eight ancient clans, the Misty Cloud Sect was not even comparable to an ant. As long as the other party randomly sent a Dou Zun over, the Misty Cloud Sect would be turned into ashes in an instant.
Of course, Xiao Bieli was also very clear that depending on others was not a long-term solution. The most important thing was to raise his own strength. Xiao Bieli was extremely confident about this point. He believed that as long as he was able to break through to the second level of the 'Darknorth sword intent', he would definitely have the strength to fight even if he faced Yun Yun, who was at the Dou Huang level.
But after this battle, Xiao Bieli also saw some hidden dangers that the Xiao Family currently had. If these hidden dangers were not eliminated, the Xiao family's future would be in danger, so he was determined to eliminate these hidden dangers.
"My Xiao clan was originally one of the eight ancient clans. Our former glory was unparalleled. Our ancestor, Xiao Xuan, had exhausted his Dou Di bloodline and declined, resulting in us hiding in a small second-rate city like Wu Tan City. Now that the three great elders had power and self-respect, they gradually divided the prestige of their eldest brother, causing the Xiao family to gradually lose the family's cohesion. In the long run, let alone restoring the Xiao clan's former glory, it would be difficult to even establish a foothold in Wu Tan City. Looks like I have to use some methods!”
With this thought in mind, Xiao Bieli glanced at everyone who had yet to leave the hall. He then pulled out Sunset and stabbed it into the floor in the middle of the hall.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the sword Qi shot out in all directions. Everyone immediately felt the crimson heavy sword exuding a sense of immense pressure. Under this immense pressure, even Xiao Zhan and the three elders, who had the highest cultivation, almost couldn't withstand it. The younger generation with lower cultivation even prostrated themselves on the ground.
Following that, Xiao Bieli said in a clear voice," The reason why my Xiao clan can endure the erosion of the long river of history and survive until today is because of the concerted efforts of the entire clan. From today's matter, it seems that there are no lack of people in the clan who are unfaithful. However, I won't be calculative about these. From now on, if anyone dares to disobey the clan leader's orders, or has second thoughts about the clan, I, Xiao Bieli, will definitely kill them with this sword. If anyone is not convinced, you can come and test the power of my Sunset Heavy Sword.”
Whoosh! The moment Xiao Bieli said this, everyone was in an uproar.
Humans were selfish. Even if they were born in the same family, blood brothers still had to settle scores. Moreover, Xiao Bieli's words had touched on the interests of some people to a large extent.
Sure enough, a Xiao clan disciple who was around thirty years old took the lead and stood out."Why? With just one sentence from you, we have to hand over the power and resources in our hands? What a joke!"
This person was called Xiao Ting. He was thirty-two years old this year and possessed the cultivation of a three star Dou Shi. He was a member of the First Elder's faction.
A moment ago, Xiao Bieli had casually injured the Misty Cloud Sect's expert Ge Ye. He was also one of the witnesses present. He also knew that he was not Xiao Bieli's match. However, he firmly believed that Xiao Bieli wouldn't dare to do anything to him in front of so many clansmen.
Xiao Bieli narrowed his eyes and swept a glance at him. Then, his eyes shot out a sharp light, and a trace of dense killing intent flashed across them.
"Clang!" In the next instant, Xiao Bieli pulled out his Sunset Heavy Sword and slashed at Xiao Ting, who was thirty feet away.
"Tsk!" With a crisp sound, Xiao Ting didn't even have the time to scream when his seven feet body was cut into two halves by the sword aura shot out by the "Setting Sun" heavy sword. Blood from his internal organs flowed all over the ground. His death was extremely terrifying.
"Ah!" This sudden scene caused everyone in the Xiao family to be shocked. Some timid women even fainted on the spot.
From the start, Xiao Zhan knew that Xiao Bieli was trying to establish his prestige, so he didn't stop him. However, he didn't expect Xiao Bieli to kill him so easily.
Xiao Bieli looked at Xiao Ting's corpse and said indifferently,""Why? Just because I'm stronger than you!"
Pausing for a moment, Xiao Bieli shouted again,""If there's anyone else who's not convinced, you can step forward!”
With the previous lesson, Xiao Bieli's shout that contained the supreme Darknorth sword qi instantly caused everyone to be as silent as cicadas in winter. No one dared to stand out and object. Even the three elders were no exception. After all, people were all afraid of death, especially old people like them who had half their bodies buried in the ground.
At this time, Xiao Zhan said," Xiao Li, let's end this matter here. Come with me to the secret room. I have something to say to you."”
"Yes, big brother!"
After a while, Xiao Zhan led Xiao Bieli to his private room.
" Li," Xiao Zhan said," you came back in time today and helped the Xiao family resolve a crisis. This is a blessing. However, there are some things that you have gone a little overboard."”
Xiao Bieli said,"Big brother is referring to offending the Misty Cloud Sect? Or killed Xiao Ting?"
"Both!"
"Actually, big brother, you don't have to worry at all!”Xiao Bieli said," Although the Misty Cloud Sect is the number one sect in the Jia Ma Empire, I doubt that they would dare to do anything to our Xiao clan. I might as well let you know that the foundation of our Xiao clan is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the exact details. Moreover, with my current cultivation, as long as Yun Yun and Yun Shan did not come personally, those so-called experts of the Misty Cloud Sect are merely clay chickens and pottery dogs in my eyes.”
"Eh?" "Could it be that Xiao Li, you are about to advance to the Dou Huang class?" How was this possible? You're only eighteen this year!"
Xiao Bieli said,"I am not very clear about my current cultivation. However, I can kill a so called Misty Cloud Sect expert like Ge Ye with a flip of my hand.”
"Hiss!" Xiao Zhan gasped. That old Ge Ye was two stars stronger than him.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan had to reevaluate his younger cousin.
Xiao Bieli continued," As for the matter of killing Xiao Ting, wasn't I doing it to establish my prestige for you, big brother?”
"However, Xiao Ting is after all a member of the same clan. It is still inappropriate for you to kill him just like that.”Xiao Zhan said.
"Big brother, you are too soft-hearted. It is precisely because of this that your authority as the clan leader is gradually being taken over by those old men who are about to die.”
Xiao Zhan sighed and said,"Maybe you're right, Li!"”
After a pause, Xiao Zhan continued." Li, to be honest, I've been running around for Yan 'er these past few years. I'm starting to feel a little powerless. Why don't I give you the position of clan leader?”
