Chapter 81: Give Me the Cultivation Technique, and I Will Protect the Remaining Members of the He Family

This demon, who had killed so many members of the He family, now told the family’s old patriarch that not only would he not kill the remaining He family members, but he would also protect them from the formidable young man floating in the air, who clearly had the strength of the innate realm, as well as the two imperial-grade martial artists whose auras were similar to the old patriarch’s?

The He family members who had not yet fled, standing not far from the ground, were all thinking about this very question!

They couldn’t believe it!

"How about it? Will you agree or not?"

Xiao Bei paid no attention to the twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old imperial-grade martial artist and the others, but asked He Lian again.

He Lian had long stopped his arrogant laughter. When Xiao Bei said he would protect the remaining members of the He family, He Lian, the old patriarch of the He family, stopped laughing!

His bloodshot eyes met Xiao Bei's gaze head-on.

After a long while, He Lian nodded, "Alright, I will give you the cultivation technique! As long as you protect the remaining members of the He family, I will give you the cultivation technique!"

"But how can I be sure you will keep your promise?"

He Lian asked again.

"You can choose to believe me or not." After saying this, Xiao Bei stood with his hands behind his back.

Turning slightly, Xiao Bei said to the twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old imperial-grade martial artist, "I will protect the remaining members of the He family. How about it?"

The twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old imperial-grade martial artist had already known, when Xiao Bei displayed his formidable martial aura, that even if he and the two imperial-grade martial artists joined forces, they would not be a match for this masked, muscular man... especially after Xiao Bei, in his masked form, had forcefully pushed back the two imperial-grade martial artists with a single palm strike, causing them to still be spitting blood, he realized his life might not be safe.

Thus, how could he dare to have any objections to Xiao Bei's words at this moment?

However, if the top cultivation technique of the family were to be exposed, he would not only have made a wasted trip to Wu Country, but if the news spread, his failure to defend the family's honor at the end would likely result in a sharp decline in his status within the family.

Naturally, the young man, who had already reached the imperial-grade martial artist level at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, had a significant objection to this.

Therefore, he decided to take a chance.

The young man's face showed a bitter smile as he cautiously addressed the masked, muscular man that Xiao Bei had transformed into.

"Senior, there might have been some misunderstanding earlier. Let me apologize on behalf of the Song family, our friendly allies from the Great Qin Kingdom, for what happened just now."

On the surface, it was an apology, but in reality, he was clearly revealing the name of his family.

The young man's words were flawless!

"Senior, you know..."

After speaking, the young man noticed that Xiao Bei's brows did not furrow as they had when the two imperial-grade martial artists had attacked He Lian, the old patriarch of the He family. He felt a surge of joy, thinking that the influence of his family still worked, and that this man must have heard of the Song family's might and power, and was now afraid to provoke him. He wanted to continue speaking.

However, the young man's excitement did not last long. The masked, muscular man in front of him shook his head and directly interrupted him, "You are from the Song family? The Song family of the Great Qin Kingdom?"

"Yes, yes, I am from the Song family..."

The young man replied, picking up where Xiao Bei left off.

"I haven't heard of the Song family, but I understand what you mean by trying to use the Song family to pressure me. However, you might be disappointed... In any case, I will protect the remaining members of the He family, and as for you and the other two..."

Xiao Bei pointed with one hand, "You won't be leaving either!"

Upon hearing this, the hand Xiao Bei had extended suddenly burst with martial aura... Of course, Xiao Bei was not being overly sympathetic. He was not protecting the He family out of pity. In this world, with its countless people, everyone had to rely on themselves to survive!

The reason Xiao Bei wanted to protect the He family was because of the close marriage ties between the He and Xiao families.

Many of the Xiao family's young members, such as Xiao Sa, who was severely injured and forced by Xiao Yun, and Xiao Qing, who could now participate in the trial arena, as well as a few other outstanding young members who had a decent relationship with Xiao Bei... their parents were also members of the He family!

Moreover, according to the list Xiao Bei had obtained from Xiao Bing and Xiao Lie, these people had not participated in the He family's rebellion!

In addition, there was the cultivation technique!

For the sake of the cultivation technique of the broken hand seal!

After considering both factors, protecting the remaining members of the He family was the right thing to do... After all, the complete annihilation of the He family would bring no benefits to the Xiao family!

The remaining members of the He family had not betrayed the Xiao family and were still on the same boat, maintaining a close relationship with the Xiao family!

No one would allow their allies to suffer.

This was Xiao Bei's thinking, the reason why he should do this!

As for the young man, when Xiao Bei said they wouldn't be leaving, his mind immediately filled with thoughts of escape.

The young man's body immediately turned around!

The two imperial-grade martial artists also quickly moved forward in panic, not to flee, but to protect the young man.

"Master, run quickly!"

One of the middle-aged men shouted, then, despite his injuries from Xiao Bei's earlier attack, he charged straight at Xiao Bei!

Indeed, he charged!

The imperial-grade martial artist, with all the martial aura he could muster, charged at Xiao Bei... while the other imperial-grade martial artist moved towards the young man.

At this critical moment, Xiao Bei, of course, would not hold back. There was no need to hide his strength now!

Xiao Bei's extended hand did not fall but instead lifted slightly. As it lifted, the martial aura that had already burst forth suddenly surged like a rolling flood, creating a terrifying tearing sound in the air!

From it, a massive sword-shaped martial aura, summoned by Xiao Bei, whistled towards the young man!

The target remained the young man.

As for the imperial-grade martial artist charging from behind, Xiao Bei's face remained cold. After launching his single-handed attack, he immediately raised his body.

The imperial-grade martial artist's body also changed with Xiao Bei's movement, but to Xiao Bei, he was no threat!

"Boom!"

Xiao Bei did not block. When the imperial-grade martial artist reached Xiao Bei's side, he immediately collided with the martial aura surrounding Xiao Bei!

He was sent flying!

The imperial-grade martial artist, who had secretly rejoiced, thinking he could deal a heavy blow to the masked, black-robed, muscular man, realized he was wrong, terribly wrong!

Then, a powerful force sent his body flying!

"Among the imperial-grade martial artists, I believe there is no one who can match me."

Xiao Bei said calmly, his eyes on the flying imperial-grade martial artist.

But in his calmness, there was boundless confidence!
