Chapter 87

After returning to the Xiao family, Su Han gave a series of instructions.

Lian Yuzhe and the Xiao family's younger generations who went to the Beast Mountain Range for training had already been confirmed to become disciples of the God Slaying Pavilion in the future.

Su Han left a large amount of beast crystals and spiritual items, and then had Lian Yuzhe take a full one hundred million gold coins to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to purchase the materials needed for refining artifacts and alchemy.

In fact, after this trip to the Beast Mountain Range, he already had a large amount of materials, such as beast crystals and those spiritual items.

If it were another alchemist, the amount of materials required for the sect's mission might not be enough.

But Su Han was different. He had reached a level of perfection in alchemy and artifact refinement, and with his cultivation now reaching the limit of 108 meridians, the success rate for alchemy below the Gold level could be 100%.

The reason why the professions of alchemists and artifact refiners were so costly was mainly due to their low success rates.

Of course, even so, these two professions were still extremely popular in the Dragon Martial Continent.

At this moment, the beast crystals were gathered, and the gold coins were available; only the elixirs and those weapons were missing.

As for Liu Qingyao's matter...

While Su Han was grieving, he also felt a surge of joy.

Because long ago, he thought Liu Qingyao had already died, lying in that black coffin for ten thousand years.

But this time, Su Han felt that Liu Qingyao was still alive.

Or perhaps, due to some events, Liu Qingyao was revived by the super powerful being who created the world within a world!

Although he was mourning, as long as Liu Qingyao was still alive, he had a great motivation.

...

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

One day, someone visited the Xiao family.

"The first guest of the Liang family actually came to our Xiao family, truly making our humble abode shine!" In the main hall of the Xiao family, Xiao Hengshan looked at the middle-aged man with a somewhat unhappy expression and said politely.

However, it was not all politeness. If one were to compare strength, the Liang family was much stronger than the Xiao family. If not for Xiao Yuhui becoming a personal disciple of the Cold Cloud Sect's sect master, the Liang family would not have taken the Xiao family seriously.

The one who came to the Xiao family this time was the first guest of the Liang family, an early-stage Dragon Core Realm powerhouse, Zhen Pu.

Accompanying him were two peak Dragon Spirit Realm powerhouses, as well as several early and mid-stage Dragon Spirit Realm members of the Liang family.

From these people alone, one could see the strength of the Liang family.

Xiao Hengshan, as the head of the Xiao family and currently the strongest person in the Xiao family, was only at the peak Dragon Spirit Realm, lower than the Liang family's guest, let alone compared to the Liang family's head.

With the strength and cultivation of the Liang family's head, he could have founded his own sect, but the Liang family did not do so.

Because founding a sect was extremely costly, and without absolute strength to protect the sect from being destroyed, few would attempt to found a sect.

Besides Zhen Pu and others, the three from the Su family in Yuan Mountain County, Su Yunchen, Su Yunpeng, and Su Yunlie, also came to the Xiao family.

"May I ask why you have come to the Xiao family this time?" Xiao Hengshan asked.

"Do you not know why we have come?" Zhen Pu's expression turned cold.

Xiao Hengshan's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained unchanged, and he still smiled. "I really don't know why. According to the Liang family's status, they should not bother with our Xiao family."

"Humph!"

Zhen Pu coldly snorted and said, "A few months ago, the young master of the Liang family, Liang Shaohui, came to Yuan Mountain County, originally planning to participate in the Cold Cloud Sect's assessment. However, he disappeared before the assessment. Our Liang family sent people to investigate and found that the last place the young master visited before disappearing was your Xiao family."

"How could that be?"

Xiao Hengshan's eyes widened. "Zhen Pu, you can't just say that. Liang Shaohui did indeed come to our Xiao family, and he came with the younger generations of the Su family. But they soon left, and even refused my offer to have dinner with them."

"Is that so?"

Zhen Pu glanced at Xiao Hengshan, emitting a powerful aura, seemingly trying to pressure him.

There was a significant difference between the Dragon Core Realm and the Dragon Spirit Realm, almost a qualitative change.

Even though Xiao Hengshan was at the peak Dragon Spirit Realm, if Zhen Pu were to attack, he could quickly kill Xiao Hengshan.

"What did the young master come to the Xiao family for?" Zhen Pu asked again.

"He seemed to have heard that my daughter was extremely beautiful, so he wanted to propose to her. But Yuran refused him, and he was extremely angry, storming off in a rage."

After saying this, Xiao Hengshan seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, right, before leaving, Liang Shaohui threatened me, saying that if I did not marry my daughter to him, he would exterminate the Xiao family. Although our Xiao family is not as strong as the Liang family, I kindly remind you to keep an eye on your young master."

"Do we need you to teach us how to handle our young master?" Zhen Pu's expression turned cold.

Xiao Hengshan shook his head and then crossed his arms, with a look that said, "Do whatever you want."

In the past, Xiao Hengshan would not have dared to speak to the Liang family like this.

But now, things were different. The Cold Cloud Sect had advanced to an eighth-rate sect, the sect master had broken through to the Dragon God Realm, his eldest daughter was a personal disciple of the sect master, and his second son-in-law was a prodigy, almost a monster.

Just now, the Liang family did not dare to do anything to the Xiao family, let alone after his second son-in-law grew up, who would be even more terrifying.

"What are you here for?" Xiao Hengshan suddenly turned his gaze to Su Yunchen and others.

He was still polite to the Liang family, but not to Su Yunchen and others.

"Are you asking this on purpose?"

Su Yunchen secretly cursed and said, "I came for the same reason as Zhen Senior. I heard that the last place the rebellious son visited before disappearing was the Xiao family, so I came to ask the head of the Xiao family what happened."

"Are you, Su Yunchen, daring to question me?"

Xiao Hengshan's eyes widened, and he said impatiently, as if shooing away flies, "Go away, go away, don't bother me here. If you can't find your son, you come to ask me? If others can't find their sons, should they all come to ask me? Should I just help you find your sons all day?"

"You!"

Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng's faces turned red, but they dared not speak out.

Zhen Pu could speak to Xiao Hengshan like that, but they could not.

Although Su Yunlie's adopted son had entered the Cold Cloud Sect, giving him some support, compared to Xiao Yuhui, he was far behind, even if given eight legs.

"What?"

Xiao Hengshan looked at Su Yunchen and said coldly, "Do you think that just because you are now the head of the Su family, I have to speak politely to you? Your status is not enough."

...
