Chapter 222: 'The First Genius of Ziyun City'
The elders of the Xiao family, as well as the clansmen.
Already surrounded.
The Sect Master of Xuanhuo Sect and a group of disciples had already stepped into the Xiao family.
On the other side, a city guard army surrounded the Xiao family.
The leader was a middle-aged man, the lord of Ziyun City.
"Xuanhuomen, what's the matter with coming to my Xiao family?" Xiao Lihuo looked at the head of Xuanhuomen coldly.
The sect master of Xuanhuo Sect shrugged and said jokingly, "Why should the first elder of the Xiao family ask him knowingly."
"Ziyun City, there is no longer a place for your Xiao family to stand."
Xiao Lihuo snorted coldly, turned his head, and looked at the other middle-aged man.
"Why did the city lord come here?"
The lord of Ziyun City sneered, "The lord of Xuanhuomen, didn't he already answer you?"
At this moment, a faint voice came.
"It seems that the two of you came today to plot against my Xiao family."
The person who spoke was Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi originally planned to practice, but only then did he slowly stand up.
Whether it is the sect master of Xuanhuo Sect or the city lord of Ziyun City, in his eyes, they are nothing but clowns.
"Who are you?" The head of the Xuanhuo Sect looked at Xiao Yi disdainfully.
"I'm talking to you, the elders of the Xiao family."
"When did you interject as an ordinary child of yours?"
"Presumptuous." Mu Miaomiao and Yu Rulong, who were behind Xiao Yi, gave a cold drink.
"If you dare to be disrespectful to the sword master again, don't blame us for being rude."
"Sword Master?" The Xuanhuo Sect Master was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"What's this name? It sounds quite intimidating."
"You are also children of the Xiao family?"
"Tsk tsk, one of the three major families in Ziyun City back then, the Xiao family."
"It's becoming more and more useless now. The mere two children dare to be so disrespectful."
Beishan County has had no sword masters for hundreds of years.
Except for some big forces, ordinary forces have long been unknown.
Not to mention the small forces in remote places like Ziyun City.
Moreover, the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect has not yet declared the whole county.
"You are courting death." Yu Rulong's expression changed, and he was about to take action.
"A mere hole in a profound cave..."
That's right, the sect master of Xuanhuomen is just a first-level martial artist of Dongxuan.
When Xiao Yi was still in the Xiao family, he was only half a step into Dong Xuan.
Recently, he has just broken through to the first level of Dong Xuan.
And Jade is like a dragon, the chief of the beast hall of the dignified Heavenly Splitting Sword Sect, and the nine-level cultivation base of Dongxuan.
Being provoked by such a weakling, it's no wonder that it doesn't happen.
At this time, Xiao Yi waved his hand and stopped Yu Rulong.
"I would like to ask, what is the enmity between the Xiao family and your Xuanhuomen?"
"I made all of you martial artists come out and come to my Xiao family aggressively."
Xiao Yi looked at the head of Xuanhuomen lightly.
At the same time, the elders of the Xiao family did not speak.
In their hearts, the current Xiao Yi is already the head of the Xiao family.
Furthermore, they had confidence in Xiao Yi's strength.
Therefore, the full power is left to Xiao Yi, and they will not say more.
"And you." Xiao Yi looked at the lord of Ziyun City.
"The owner of a city should maintain order in the city."
"Why did you lead troops to surround and suppress my Xiao family?"
The City Lord of Ziyun City smiled disdainfully, "A yellow-haired boy like you is not qualified for me to answer."
"Xiao Lihuo, is there no one in the Xiao family?"
"How come all the old guys are like tortoises with their heads shrinking."
"I repeat, the Xiao family has not paid taxes for a long time."
"According to the laws of the city, all the Xiao family's property will be confiscated."
"Those who dare to resist will be regarded as flouting the laws of Beishan County."
The city lord glanced coldly at the elders.
"Elders of the Xiao family,
I know you are strong. "
"The weakest are innate eight-level warriors."
"It's just that if you dare to resist, you will be disrespecting the King of Beishan County."
The city lord said, and cupped his hands in the air.
"If you disrespect the prince, just wait for the prince to send someone to destroy you."
"At that time, your Xiao family will die even worse."
"The King of Beishan County sent someone to destroy my Xiao family?" Xiao Yi said lightly to himself.
"Elder, haven't our Xiao family paid taxes for a long time?" Xiao Yi looked at the elder and asked.
In Beishan County, no matter which city, which family, must pay taxes.
Even if this family is stronger than the City Lord's Mansion.
Even if the city lord has no right to speak in the city.
Even if this city is mainly bowing its head in front of these patriarchs and warriors.
Only paying taxes, no family dared to disobey.
Because this was handed over to the King of Beishan County.
Of course, this is a world where martial artists are respected and strength is everything.
The warriors don't care about this little money, let alone the family.
Furthermore, each city must maintain a city guard army to maintain order and stability in the city.
At this time, Xiao Lihuo nodded and said, "It's true that I haven't paid taxes for a long time."
With that said, Xiao Lihuo's face became extremely angry.
"It's not that we don't pay taxes, it's that the city lord unites all forces and targets our Xiao family everywhere."
"Remember when you came back last time, the family members I mentioned were often attacked inexplicably when they went out?"
"Remember." Xiao Yi nodded.
Xiao Lihuo said angrily, "It's their people."
"There are a lot of children, if we elders didn't rescue them in time, their lives would have been lost."
"Even if they were rescued in time, those children were also seriously injured."
"The Xiao family can't even go out to work."
"The family income in the past two years is pitifully small. How to pay taxes."
"So it is." Xiao Yi nodded and looked at the city lord.
"You city lord, you haven't done your job of maintaining order in the city."
"Instead, it helps Zhou to abuse."
"I'm so embarrassed to come to my Xiao family to ask for money?"
"Hmph." The city lord snorted coldly, "You can either not give it, or you can resist."
"King of Beishan County, an order will destroy you, and then you will be courting death yourself."
Xiao Yi shook his head lightly, ignoring him.
Then he looked at the sect master of Xuanhuomen, "You haven't answered me yet."
The Sect Master of Xuanhuo Sect didn't speak, just sneered.
Instead, behind him, a young man came out.
"Little waste, do you still recognize me?"
"You?" Xiao Yi glanced at it lightly and said, "Xiao Ruokuang?"
Yes, the young man is Xiao Ruokuang.
The children of the Xiao family back then, the current Young Master of the Xuanhuo Sect.
"You have good eyesight." Xiao Ruokuang said proudly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen how much your strength has improved, but you have become smarter."
"In the past two years, I have been practicing hard every day at Xuanhuomen."
"Now he is a sixth-level martial artist, and he is the number one genius in Ziyun City."
Saying that, Xiao Ruokuang looked at Xiao Lihuo.
"Today, my strength is not much worse than that of the ordinary elders of your Xiao family."
"In just two years, I have grown to this point."
"Elder, I will prove it to you today."
"That day you helped Xiao Yi and drove me out of the family, because you were short-sighted and didn't know the good or the bad."
"Little waste, let's do it."
Xiao Ruokuang shouted loudly.
Before Xiao Yi could speak, Mu Miaomiao laughed out loud behind him.
"A mere innate sixth-layer, dare to call yourself the first genius?"
Xiao Yi shook his head lightly, looked at Xiao Lihuo again, and asked, "What kind of grievance does this Xuanhuo Sect have with my Xiao family?"
Xiao Lihuo's face became even more angry.
"I told you Yi'er last time too."
"The third elder Xiao wrote a letter to the Xiao family's mines and asked the Xiao family members to return to the family."
"It's because at that time, within the range of Po Xuan City, all the major Saxo Banks were suppressing us."
"And their Xuanhuomen are secretly supporting."
"A long time ago, the Xiao family's ore vein was taken away by their Xuanhuomen."
"This is also one of the reasons why our Xiao family has no family income."
"I see." Xiao Yi nodded and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about these things?"
Xiao Lihuo replied, "The Xiao family is in a troubled season now, and you go out a lot, so I don't have a chance to tell you."
Xiao Yi just wanted to say something.
Xiao Ruokuang shouted, "Little waste, why are you asking so many questions?"
"If you don't do it again, I didn't give you a chance to fix the blame."
"Today, I want to defeat you with my own hands. I want you to watch the Xiao family die."
Xiao Yi said lightly, "No reason, just ask clearly, so as not to kill the wrong person."
"Before killing, let me ask you one more question."
"Who gave you the courage to come to my Xiao family?"
As soon as these words came out, the sect master of Xuanhuo Sect, as well as the city lord, burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, death is imminent, and I still don't know how to die."
"Don't think we don't know about your feud with Beishan Murong's family."
"Now, all the major commercial houses of the Murong family in Beishan have all started to move."
"A large number of strong Murong family members are already on their way to Ziyun City."
"You, you are not far from death."
Back then, it was well known that the Xiao family destroyed the Murong family in Ziyun City.
Naturally, the Xiao family had offended the Beishan Murong family before, and they knew it.
"So it is." Xiao Yi still said indifferently, "You guys want to get a share of the pie in advance and deal with my Xiao family in advance."
"Just, who told you."
"The people from the major business houses of the Murong family in Beishan are here to trouble my Xiao family?"
Xiao Yi's words just fell, and his face that had always been indifferent, instantly turned cold as frost.
He just wanted to clarify.
Now, it's time to get started.
......
......
Second more.
