Xiao Family Rectification

Chapter 26: Xiao Family Rectification

However, just as Obake's figure had moved about two meters away, a nonchalant voice suddenly came from in front of him:

"Obake, do you really think you can come and go from my Xiao Family Marketplace as you please?"

As the words fell, a cold smile bloomed on Xiao Zhan's face. Battle Qi surged from his arm, condensing into a massive, red lion's head.

Seeing Xiao Zhan blocking his path, Obake's heart sank. He stopped and frowned, saying:

"Clan Leader Xiao Zhan, show mercy where mercy can be shown. Spare this old man, and I will be eternally grateful!"

This time, their Oba Family had suffered a crushing defeat. The only way forward was to preserve himself.

Seeing the cornered Obake beg for mercy, Xiao Zhan let out a cold laugh and said, "Obake, today your entire Oba Family came to annihilate my Xiao Clan. Did you ever imagine this outcome?"

Hearing this, Obake stood frozen, unsure how to respond. Just as Xiao Zhan said, he had never expected that the Xiao Clan would have a formidable figure like Xiao Tian guarding it. This time, they had truly kicked a steel plate and suffered heavy losses.

Yet, his instinct for self-preservation still made Obake cling to the hope that Xiao Zhan would let him go.

However, Xiao Zhan remained unmoved by Obake's plea. The Battle Qi around him surged even more powerfully, and the red lion's head condensed on his arm became even more imposing and dominant.

"Lion Mountain Split!!"

In an instant, the red lion's head exuded an astonishing aura and fiercely attacked Obake's chest.

Seeing this, Obake's eyelids twitched wildly. He knew he was no match for Xiao Zhan. Though he was prepared to die, he did not resign himself to fate.

"Extreme Tyrant Great Demon Slash!!"

With a furious roar, terrifying blue Battle Qi surged from Obake's body. He then violently swung his palm, creating an extremely sharp gust of wind that directly cleaved towards the incoming lion's head.

This was Obake's strongest killing move, a Mysterious Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique called Extreme Tyrant Great Demon Slash, known for its ferocity. Once unleashed, it could easily crush opponents of the same level.

"Boom..."

The next moment, an explosion erupted. Xiao Zhan's Lion Mountain Split collided with Obake's attack, sending terrifying energy splashing outwards.

With almost no suspense, Obake, with his strength as a five-star Dou Grandmaster, was no match. The Lion Mountain Split's attack directly shattered his Extreme Tyrant Great Demon Slash and, with lightning speed, continued towards his chest.

"Bang!!!"

A dull thud echoed out, and then Obake was sent flying backward by a terrifying force, spewing blood in mid-air as all the bones in his body shattered.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out as Obake slammed heavily onto the ground, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth, his appearance utterly disheveled.

Before he could even get up, several young men and women from the Xiao Clan rushed forward and began kicking and punching him relentlessly. Obake cried out in agony, groaning in pain, and soon lost all signs of life.

At the same time, the Xiao Clan members who had been fighting Obake's subordinates also finished off their respective opponents and plundered all their wealth.

This time, the members of the Oba Family were completely annihilated, not a single one left.

"Xiao Tian, we really have you to thank for dealing with that Dou Spirit expert. Otherwise, our Xiao Clan would probably..." Not long after, as the clansmen were clearing the battlefield, the First Elder hesitated for a moment before approaching Xiao Tian with a complex expression.

For so many years, he and the other elders had looked down on Xiao Tian the most within the Xiao Clan. A good-for-nothing who couldn't even cultivate Dou Qi was destined for a life of mediocrity, never to receive the clan's support.

But now, everything was different. After spending time together recently, the First Elder felt genuine reverence for Xiao Tian. His past prejudices had long since vanished, replaced by deep guilt and apology, and of course, strong admiration.

"Xiao Tian, thank you for saving Xiao Mei. I spoke too harshly to you before, please forgive me. I promise such a thing will never happen again." At this moment, the Third Elder, who was not far away, also hesitated before walking up and sighing.

His attitude was extremely sincere, even bordering on pleading. This was the first time in his life he had shown such a demeanor to a junior.

"First Elder, Third Elder, you are too kind. Since I bear the Xiao bloodline, it is my duty to help. Moreover, aren't we family?" Xiao Tian smiled faintly, seemingly unbothered by their change in attitude.

Because, this world was simply like this.

If you are strong, I respect you!

If you are weak, I trample you!

There were no rationalizations, only the cruel law of the strong ruling the weak.

Just like when Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement, in Xiao Tian's eyes, Nalan Yanran had no major fault. She was merely a proud little princess who didn't want her future husband to be a ridiculed waste, and thus chose to break the engagement. If he were Nalan Yanran, he would have made the same choice.

Besides, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's marriage was arranged by the older generation, and there was no affection between them. If you don't like it, be direct; there's no need to waste each other's time.

However, Nalan Yanran's breaking of the engagement did not consider the dignity of Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan.

Of course, with the strength of the Misty Cloud Sect, they had no need to care about the feelings of a mere Xiao Family.

And this was the benefit of having powerful strength. In any world, powerful strength always held absolute dominance.

This was an eternal law.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, the First Elder and Third Elder were both moved to tears, filled with emotion. Xiao Tian's words made them, the elders, feel deeply ashamed.

Time flowed by quietly. Three days passed, and the rectification of the Xiao Family concluded.

During these three days, the Xiao Family's business not only soared but also expanded its industries considerably.

The demise of the Gale Family and the Oba Family plunged Wutan City into a brief period of chaos. During this time, the Xiao Family seized the opportunity to rise and annex the industries of the two families, becoming the overlord of the entire Wutan City!

In a courtyard within the Xiao Family.

Xiao Tian lay on his bed, contemplating when to leave Wutan City and head to more prosperous regions to sign in and receive even richer rewards.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open, and a tall, beautiful woman in blue attire barged in, looking furious.

The young woman wore a blue academy uniform, a jade-green longsword hanging from her waist. Her dark hair was tied back, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons, her nose delicate and upturned, and her exquisite features seemed carved by a master's hand, full of heroic spirit. However, what drew the most attention were her snow-white, slender, jade-like legs, straight and shapely, radiating allure.

"Xiao Yu?"

Seeing the beautiful young woman who had suddenly burst in, Xiao Tian couldn't help but freeze, a flicker of confusion crossing his mind.

He clearly remembered Xiao Yu going to Jia Nan Academy for advanced studies. Why had she suddenly returned?
