Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1176 1177: Tomb Sovereign

Of course, Xiao Tianyu was naturally aware of the words from the Third Elder, but he didn't take them to heart. Power always reigns supreme, and any schemes are insignificant before absolute power.

Thus, Xiao Tianyu didn't care about the Third Elder's schemes.

Subsequently, Xiao Tianyu spoke to Xiao Feng: "Why aren't you practicing your spear? Must I guide you personally?"

"…" Xiao Feng felt speechless, but since Xiao Tianyu refused to leave, he had no choice but to nod and go practice his spear. Yet seeing the Xiao Family in such dire straits, he had no heart for practice.

Moreover, Xiao Tianyu still refused to leave.

"Third Elder, don't think I don't know what's on your mind!" Xiao Zhenshan snorted coldly at the Third Elder. To keep Xiao Tianyu around was merely to use him as the Xiao Family's shield, wasn't it?

However, the Third Elder did not retort; he wasn't fearful of Xiao Zhenshan, but rather of Xiao Tianyu. After all, how Second Elder Xiao Zhan died and how the Xiao Family's ancestor was taught a lesson by Xiao Tianyu were clear in his mind.

Xiao Tianyu is currently the strongest in the Xiao Family; who dares to offend him lightly?

Even if Xiao Tianyu were to leave now, ignoring the safety of the Xiao Family, who could do anything to him?

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu turned and left the scene, his silhouette carefree, without a care in the world.

Seeing this, Lin Xin followed with graceful steps.

Xiao Family's ancestor signaled to a disciple, evidently instructing them to monitor Xiao Tianyu's movements, fearing that Xiao Tianyu might slip away, for if he left, calamity would befall the Xiao Family.

Mu Xie's death, Mountain and Sea City's City Lord Mu Huang, would definitely not forgive Xiao Tianyu and the Xiao Family. With Xiao Tianyu in the Xiao Family, there might still be a glimmer of hope according to the ancestor.

On the other side.

Xiao Tianyu arrived by a lake in the Xiao Family courtyard, standing there as the breeze rustled his azure robes, his long black hair flowing in the wind, his silhouette from behind appearing exceptionally handsome and dashing.

Looking at Xiao Tianyu's back, Xiao Xin dazed momentarily, though a subtle sadness lingered in her beautiful eyes. The man ahead was about to face life or death with the Xiao Family for her sake; if she could, she would never allow Xiao Tianyu to do this.

Tapping footsteps~

Xiao Xin stepped towards Xiao Tianyu in her boots, soon arriving beside him to stand together.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Xin asked Xiao Tianyu with a gentle smile, to which he responded casually, "Wondering how vast this world truly is. Is there really Nine Heavens?"

Chuckle~

Xiao Xin laughed softly at these words, then reached out her delicate hand to touch Xiao Tianyu's forehead, which caused him to frown: "Why?"

"I wanted to see if you're feverish. No, your body temperature is normal. Why are you talking nonsense?" Xiao Xin said earnestly; Nine Heavens, and Unparalleled Realm—there's no such thing, just a universe, alright.

Xiao Tianyu: "…"

With a more serious demeanor, Xiao Xin said, "Brother Xiao, why don't you leave? The Xiao Family's situation no longer concerns you. I don't want you to perish here for my sake. With your martial arts talent, a grander stage should await you, not this Mountain and Sea City!"

"Do you think I will die?" Xiao Tianyu unexpectedly said.

Lin Xin: "…"

At this point, she truly couldn't fathom where he found his confidence from. Mountain and Sea City's City Lord was a Martial Emperor, the only Emperor in Mountain and Sea City, invincible in her view.

Then Xiao Xin's head gently rested on Xiao Tianyu's shoulder, feeling the breeze on her face, seemingly so beautiful.

She said, "Time frozen, how great would that be, so Brother Xiao wouldn't be burdened. Thank you, Brother Xiao!"

As she spoke, a subtle sadness rose in Xiao Xin's heart; had it not been for Xiao Tianyu, she likely would have been married into the Mu Family by now, becoming someone's plaything, worse than death.

This also completely plunged the Xiao Family into Eternal Hell, additionally dragging Xiao Tianyu along.

"What's the lament about? I am a Martial God, why would I care about a mere Mu Family!" Xiao Tianyu asserted with righteousness.

Chuckle~

Xiao Xin looked at Xiao Tianyu's sharply defined face and laughed; is this guy boasting again? But, he's really adorable!

Thus, Xiao Xin said to Xiao Tianyu, "Yes, yes, yes… with Brother Xiao as the Martial God, what is the Mu Family in Mountain and Sea City anyway? With Brother Xiao protecting, I fear nothing!"

Having said that, Xiao Xin closed her beautiful eyes, taking a deep breath: "This air is really fresh!"

"You believe I am a Martial God?" Xiao Tianyu expressed surprise.

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Xin nodded: "I like the way you boast!"

"…" Xiao Tianyu was speechless, again, when did he start enjoying boasting? He clearly is a Martial God, just too young; speaking honestly, no one believes, accustomed to being misunderstood.

…

Elsewhere, in the City Lord's Hall of Mountain and Sea City, Mu Family.

Three hours had passed since Mu Xie's death, and the news finally reached the Mu Family.

At this moment, all Mu Family high-ranking members assembled in the grand hall, each a terrifying Martial King.

Especially the person seated high on the main seat, eyes cold, exuding boundless murderous intent, showing undisguised icy cold killing intent between the brows.

Instantly, a suppressed atmosphere filled the hall, none of the mighty figures inside dared speak.

They were fully aware that the one on the main seat was furious.

"Mu Xie, dead?"

"My son, dead?"

"Tens of Martial Kings all perished in the Xiao Family?"

Slam~

As these three sentences fell, suddenly a loud sound erupted in the grand hall, as the table before Mu Huang shattered, causing a shiver in the hearts of every mighty figure, watching in horror.

Mu Xie was his only son, the future heir to his position, yet now, dead, due to the Xiao Family. What he couldn't fathom was how could the Xiao Family have an Immortal King-level expert?

Thinking this, Mu Huang shouted coldly: "What exactly happened, do you know?"

"Reporting to City Lord, the Xiao Family in Mountain and Sea City is originally a third-rate family, guarded by Xiao Zhenshan, merely a Ninth Layer Martial Immortal, theoretically insignificant, but…"

"But what, speak!" Mu Huang snorted coldly.

"But today there's an outsider in the Xiao Family, rumored to have descended from the heavens, resting in the Xiao Family for a few days. This person endowed with extraordinary talent, young and already a Martial King, was precisely the one who killed the Young City Lord and numerous Martial Kings!"

"What is this person's name?"

"Rumored to be called Xiao Tianyu!" said a middle-aged person in the hall: "Though he bears the Xiao surname, he is not of the Xiao Family, but seems still within the Xiao Family now, please decide, City Lord!"

"Decide, is decision even needed?" Mu Huang roared suddenly, standing up to speak: "I must see if this Xiao Tianyu has three heads and six arms, daring to kill my son. Today, I will dismember him to soothe my son's spirit!"
