Chapter 71: The He Family's Chaos (Part 1)

After letting out a "hmm," Zhou Yue continued to Wang Yi, "If our great-grandfather were here, he wouldn't be afraid of this peak Imperial Warrior. As long as our great-grandfather uses that strange treasure, he wouldn't even know how he died, just like what he said to He Yong earlier..."

Zhou Yue let out another disdainful "hmm," glanced at Wang Yi, and continued, "Elder Wang, you should tell our family's old ancestor about all aspects of today's incident as soon as possible. I still have a few pills upstairs that need organizing, so I won't leave for now..."

After giving these instructions, Zhou Yue narrowed her eyes and said to Wang Yi, "Elder Wang, when you speak to the old ancestor, add one more thing: say that this strong person bullied me when he entered the 'Myriad Fragrance Hall.'"

"Hmm, hmm... hmm?"

Wang Yi, who had been nodding continuously to show he was listening to Zhou Yue, suddenly froze when he heard the word "bullied" in Zhou Yue's soft voice.

"Miss, this, this... bullied? How should I say it? You should say it yourself... Ah, Miss, the situation is getting serious. I need to go back and inform the family head quickly."

Seeing that the guards of the capital's center, marked with the emblem of the Crimson Fire Army, were already rushing here and continuously dispatching more people to the scene of the He Family's bodies, dispersing the crowd and setting up a perimeter, Wang Yi quickly said this after retracting his gaze.

He then immediately flew out of the "Myriad Fragrance Hall" to avoid Zhou Yue saying anything unexpected. He landed on the ground below the steps of the "Myriad Fragrance Hall."

After all, the capital's center had a rule: no martial cultivators were allowed to fly over the capital's center! Otherwise, the Crimson Fire Army, as the guard, would apprehend them!

"Elder Wang, just now..."

A middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a commanding presence, dressed in armor, stepped out from the Crimson Fire Army that had arrived directly from the Zhou Family.

This middle-aged man, upon seeing Wang Yi, asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Wang Yi looked up and recognized him. He was a general of the Crimson Fire Army, the direct military force of the Wu Kingdom, named Wang Yong, who was on par with Xiao Feng, the famous general of the Heavenly Dragon Army of the Xiao Family. Together, they were known as the "Feng and Yong Generals" in the Wu Kingdom. They had fought each other many times without ever determining a winner.

"That person was an unknown peak Imperial Warrior," Wang Yi replied. Wang Yong, though rough in appearance, was a wise general like Xiao Feng. Upon hearing Wang Yi's words, his face changed. He was covered in cold sweat, realizing that the person who had flown away was not just any Imperial Warrior, but a peak one. He was secretly relieved that he hadn't pursued him, or he would have been killed.

"Elder Wang, that... peak Imperial Warrior?"

Wang Yong's face changed, and he subconsciously gripped his spear, looking at Wang Yi for help.

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry. This isn't your fault. The person was too powerful. I will explain this to the family head. What you're doing now is good. Seal off the entire street, and remember, don't touch any of the He Family's bodies. Send someone to inform the He Family as quickly as possible, so they can come and clean up and investigate the scene. I need to return to the Zhou Family Manor to discuss this with the family head."

"Alright, Elder Wang, I'll send someone right away. By the way, Elder Wang, what about Miss?" Wang Yong nodded, turned his head, and looked at the "Myriad Fragrance Hall" tower, asking Wang Yi.

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Miss is fine. Don't worry. But the Xiao Family is currently in the 'Myriad Fragrance Hall.' Keep an eye on them."

With that, Wang Yi didn't wait any longer. Although he couldn't fly, he could accelerate on the ground. Using his Lord Warrior strength, his figure became blurry, moving at a speed that no one around could detect, heading towards the Zhou Family Manor.

Wang Yong, sensing Wang Yi's distant figure, sighed inwardly. He knew that following Wang Yi's instructions was the best course of action. After all, the death of a Lord Warrior, over a dozen innate experts, and a precious He Yong from the He Family was a huge matter. This incident would undoubtedly damage the relationship between the He Family and the Zhou Family, especially since the Zhou Family and the Xiao Family were at odds, and the He Family had ties with the Xiao Family. The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became. Wang Yong stopped thinking and immediately called a deputy to send a message to the He Family Manor.

...

When Xiao Bei took to the air, he was well aware that the capital of the Wu Kingdom had a law prohibiting flying over the center of the capital.

However, Xiao Bei did this because, when he killed He Yong and He Ling, he decided that since the matter had already escalated, he might as well make it even bigger. He wanted to expose and eliminate all those who were secretly colluding with the Zhou Family within the He Family!

As for the spies who hadn't been uncovered from Xiao Lie and Xiao Bing, and those who would attack the Xiao Family on behalf of the Zhou Family, they would have to be dealt with according to the original plan. When the Zhou Family launched their attack on the Xiao Family, he would eliminate them all at once, ensuring no one was left to cause trouble later!

This was Xiao Bei's grand plan to protect the Xiao Family from destruction!

His goal was not to remain low-key in the Xiao Family, occasionally shining brightly for his mother and Jiang Yuan. That was not his ultimate aim!

Xiao Bei's goal was to strike decisively and eliminate all threats to his family and himself. He would root out any potential dangers!

After all, caution was paramount. Only by ensuring no mistakes were made could the Xiao Family's safety be guaranteed. Even a single mistake could alert the Zhou Family or other allied forces, allowing some观望者 to act later and cause a resurgence.

Cut the grass, and remove the roots!

Xiao Bei intended to cut off all roots, and to do so, he would rely on his strength and meticulous planning!

"He Family, He Family... Today, I, Xiao Bei, will deal you a severe blow, leaving you weakened. I hope that Wang Yi of the 'Myriad Fragrance Hall' will pass this message to the Zhou Family's so-called old ancestor, prompting the Zhou Family to act soon... Zhou Family, this time, you should mobilize all your forces before I go to the Fragrant College. This will allow me to follow my plan and eliminate you completely..."
