Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa

When he turned around.

Shi Yi saw Shi Hao, the boy with a wronged expression as little pearls of tears kept falling, as well as Qin Yining, who was three parts unfamiliar, six parts aggrieved, and one part hopeful.

"Mother, Aunt, little brother, I've only just returned and don't yet know what happened at home. Sit down first, then tell me everything properly."

Shi Yi gently patted the back of the woman in bright red robes in his arms, soothing her emotions. He then signaled to Shi Yi and Qin Yining with his eyes, telling them to sit down and have a proper talk.

"Yi Gege, I'm sorry. It was all my—"

Shi Yi directly interrupted Shi Hao. "A real man shouldn't keep saying sorry. Wait until I understand what happened before we talk."

"Nephew, if, after learning the truth, someone truly has to leave Martial King Manor, Aunt hopes it won't be Hao'er. He really doesn't know anything."

Qin Yining bit her red lips, her eyes filled with pleading.

As a mother.

She could suffer on her own, but she did not want her child to suffer.

"Is it that serious?"

Shi Yi realized that an unimaginable upheaval must have occurred in Martial King Manor after he left. Otherwise, his beautiful Aunt would not have said something so resolute.

"Yi'er! My Yi'er! Mother missed you so much!"

Yu Yuexian clung tightly to Shi Yi. She could hear nothing and see no one. Her world contained only Shi Yi, and he was the only one she cared about, even more important than her own life.

Shi Yi was the candlelight in her heart. During the days he was gone, she felt that the whole world had gone dark. More than once, she had tried to run alone into the Great Wilderness, only to be dragged back each time.

"Rest assured, Mother. Yi'er will never leave again!"

Shi Yi did not know what else to say and could only continue comforting his mother, Yu Yuexian. There was nothing to be done about it—he had ended up with a mother who doted on her son to an extreme.

Just then.

A teenage girl stared at Shi Yi with a face full of delight.

"Young Master Yi has returned?"

She was Shi Yi's personal Maid. During the years Shi Yi had left Martial King Manor and suffered in the Great Wilderness, she had remained by Shi Hao's Aunt's side, Shi Yi's mother Yu Yuexian.

"A Man, prepare some tea. Your Young Master traveled alone through the Great Wilderness for countless miles and hasn't even had a sip of water with any flavor!"

Although Shi Yi had been away from home for five years, he did not feel timid upon returning. He naturally began directing his personal Maid.

"Yes, Young Master Yi."

A Man was not stunningly beautiful, but she possessed an indescribable beauty. It was not the seductive beauty of a vixen, but a gentle beauty that seeped into one's heart.

In this world where the strong preyed upon the weak, if Shi Yi had to name someone with beauty of the soul, the first person he would think of was probably his personal Maid, A Man.

Of course, that was not to say she was ugly. A Man's features were quite proper. She was the sort of woman who seemed ordinary at first glance, but became more and more captivating the longer one looked at her.

About half an hour later.

From his mother Yu Yuexian, Shi Yi learned what had happened so far.

The situation was far from optimistic.

Martial King Manor, the Rain Clan, and Demon Spirit Lake had all suffered devastating losses among their top-tier forces because of this matter. Several Venerable Realm experts had fallen, including the Martial King, the Rain King, and even the master behind Demon Spirit Lake.

The cause of it all.

Naturally, was Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian. At the Battlefield of Hundred Clans, he had hunted a young Pixiu and seized its true blood, intending to bring it back to cleanse Shi Hao's body.

Humans killed beasts, and beasts killed humans. There was nothing to say about that. But Shi Hao's grandfather, Shi Ziling's father, Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian, had never expected so many things to happen afterward.

First, Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian was hunted down by an Adult Pixiu. Several times, he nearly ended up swallowed in a single bite.

Avenging one's child was only natural.

By both emotion and reason, it was perfectly normal.

It was then.

That the couple Shi Ziling and Qin Yining discovered that their father and father-in-law was being hunted by the Adult Pixiu. Unable to save him themselves, they chose to return to Martial King Manor for aid.

As one of the Old Ancestors of Martial King Manor, Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian was a blood brother to the other Old Ancestors of Martial King Manor, including the Martial King. The same blood flowed through their veins.

For this reason.

Through the Martial King's efforts, Martial King Manor successfully joined forces with two allies, the Rain Clan and Demon Spirit Lake.

Martial King Manor, the Rain Clan, and Demon Spirit Lake decided to send two Venerable Realm experts each to support Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian.

Martial King Manor sent the Martial King and Old Eleventh. The Rain Clan sent the Rain King and a clan elder. Demon Spirit Lake sent Shi Ziling's cousin, Shi Ziteng's master, and one of Demon Spirit Lake's clan elders.

Six Venerables moved out together. Judging by their apparent strength, there should have been no issue rescuing Shi Ziling's father, Shi Zhongtian, from the jaws of an Adult Pixiu, an adult Pure-Blooded Ferocious Beast.

There truly would have been no issue.

But the problem was human greed. They were not satisfied with merely saving Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian. They even wanted to slaughter the Adult Pixiu and divide its true blood and precious bones among the three factions.

Did humans need a reason to kill ferocious beasts?

Did they not?

Did they?

Perhaps they did not.

So at the beginning.

The six great Venerables from Martial King Manor, the Rain Clan, and Demon Spirit Lake beat the Adult Pixiu half to death.

After nursing his wounds for a while, Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian also joined the siege against the Adult Pixiu.

Saving someone?

That had long been forgotten.

That battle darkened the heavens and blotted out the earth.

If nothing unexpected had happened.

The Adult Pixiu would have been killed just like the young Pixiu, its belly cut open, its true blood extracted, and its precious bones stripped away. That was the standard law of the jungle.

But people had friends, allies, and relatives. A Pure-Blooded Lifeform at the Adult Pixiu's level also had its own friends, allies, and relatives.

Just as the Adult Pixiu was at death's door, Bi An and Ya Zi, said to be two of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, appeared.

Bi An and Ya Zi both carried true dragon blood in their bodies, and were far stronger than the Adult Pixiu.

Though they were within the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, they came from beyond the Wild Domain.

The Eight Regions of the Lower Realm: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, Cosmos, Universe, Flood, and Wild.

Bi An and Ya Zi both came from the Heaven Domain. They were close friends of the Adult Pixiu, and upon learning of Little Pi Xiu's death, they hurried from the most distant Heaven Domain to the Wild Domain.

At first, they could not find the Adult Pixiu. But it was being besieged in a battle that darkened the heavens and blotted out the earth, so they quickly located it.

When they discovered yet another shameless human ambush.

Bi An and Ya Zi were truly enraged.

Sure enough.

No matter how much time passed, humans would always be this shameless.

With Bi An and Ya Zi joining the battle, the Adult Pixiu's certain death was overturned. Seeing that things had turned bad, several Venerables from the Rain Clan and Demon Spirit Lake tried to flee.

But just as the Adult Pixiu had been unable to escape while surrounded, Bi An and Ya Zi naturally had no intention of letting these Venerable Realm blood meals go.

No matter how many mortals they ate, it could not compare to a Venerable.

The first Venerables to fall were the two from Demon Spirit Lake, including Shi Yi's father Shi Ziteng's master.

At that point, the rout had become unavoidable. They were merely allies, after all; when disaster struck, each fled for themselves.

The Adult Pixiu, alone, went after the chief culprit, Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian. After all, its only child had died at Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian's hands.

Shi Ziling, who had led the way, and Shi Ziteng, who had come to help, became burdens to Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian at that moment.

There was no need to mention Shi Ziteng, his nephew, for now. He could not abandon his own son, Shi Ziling, and flee for his life. He could only fight the Adult Pixiu to the death.

In the end.

Naturally, he could not win. Not only was he buried in the beast's jaws, but Shi Ziling and Shi Ziteng also failed to escape. The Adult Pixiu caught up with them, bit them to death, and swallowed them whole.

How could there be so many miracles in this world? As the saying went, humans needed no reason to kill ferocious beasts, and ferocious beasts naturally needed no reason to kill humans. It was very fair.

Meanwhile.

Bi An and Ya Zi, who were hunting down Martial King Manor and the Rain Clan, each killed a Venerable as well. But they were in no hurry to kill everyone. Instead, they waited for them to call for help.

It was then that the two Shi Clan Old Ancestors of Martial King Manor who had been guarding outside Stone Village did not even have time to bid Shi Yi farewell before rushing off to save their blood brothers.

Whether it was the Martial King, Great Demon King Shi Zhongtian, or the other Shi Clan Old Ancestors of Martial King Manor, they were all blood brothers.

The same was true for the Rain Clan and Demon Spirit Lake. Their several Old Ancestors were all relatives, so naturally they could not just stand by and watch.

In short.

It was Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa—one after another went to their deaths, and in the end, the entire force was wiped out.

Two years passed.

Demon Spirit Lake had already been destroyed by Bi An and Ya Zi. In order to survive, the remaining members of the Rain Clan had no choice but to merge into the Shi Clan, namely Martial King Manor.

In theory, Shi Yi, being the eldest and the eldest legitimate grandson, had become the foremost person in Martial King Manor, holding the highest status and position.

"So much happened in just two years!"
