The Young Clan Leader Is So Fierce

In a relatively flat area amidst the mountains and ridges.

At this moment, a mature woman in a light blue dress stained with blood was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

Standing in front of her was a tall, thin young man who looked unwell, as if he had indulged too much.

The young man lightly touched the woman's smooth chin with his sword, a smug look on his face. "Xiao Xueyu, if you had agreed to be with me back then, why would the Xiao family have suffered such heavy casualties?"

"Cha Yong, spit!"

Despite her severe injuries, Xiao Xueyu spat on Cha Yong's face.

Cha Yong's expression darkened. Just as he was about to say something, a voice interjected, "Young Master, the Xiao family has no more strength to fight. What should we do next?"

Xiao Xueyu's face changed drastically, and she quickly said, "This matter only concerns me. Let them go."

"Hehehe! Xiao Xueyu, do you think I'm stupid? If I let them go, how can I make you obediently surrender?" Cha Yong said with a sinister smile.

Then, he raised his left hand, pointed at the spit on his face, and said, "Xiao Xueyu, if you don't want your clansmen to die, lick it back into your mouth now."

This was a grave insult!

Xiao Xueyu knew that even if she complied, her clansmen would likely still be killed.

But for a sliver of hope, she had to endure it. "Squat down. I can't stand up right now!"

"Hahahaha! Xiao Xueyu, weren't you so noble? Didn't you look down on me? Weren't you so proud? How can you be proud now?" Cha Yong shouted excitedly.

Xiao Xueyu remained silent. To save the lives of the Xiao family members, she could cast aside all her pride and dignity.

Cha Yong squatted down, deliberately bringing his spit-covered face closer to Xiao Xueyu.

Just then, a voice came from the front.

"Xiao family members, how dare you come back... Ah..."

A scream rang out. Cha Yong was confused but still shouted, "The returning Xiao family members are to be killed without mercy!"

The disciples of the Spirit Crane Sect revealed arrogant smiles, as if they no longer needed to hold back in the upcoming battle.

After giving the order, Cha Yong looked at Xiao Xueyu and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and lick!"

Xiao Xueyu's heart began to waver. She didn't know if it was worth it.

The next moment, sounds of "dong dong dong" erupted continuously, and waves of green light rained down.

Three seconds later, there were no more screams around.

Tap!

A faint sound of footsteps. Cha Yong looked up curiously and saw a green lotus.

With a loud "dong," the lotus flower's opening spewed out a green light wave that directly pierced Cha Yong's head.

"Taking it directly to the face, I didn't expect that," Xiao Yao remarked as he spoke.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission: Rescue more Xiao family members. Reward: 10 million Low-grade spirit stones and Cloud-Riding Sword Art promoted to Dao Integration Tier.]

Xiao Xueyu looked up and saw Xiao Yao. She was stunned!

Xiao Yao!

The peerless trash she once thought was unmatched in the Xiao family, both past and future.

Yet, it was he who had saved her now. It was as if heaven was playing a huge joke.

However, after she came out of seclusion, she had indeed heard about the Young Clan Leader possessing the Chaos Body, becoming a disciple of the Lotus Sword Emperor, and defeating the great genius Xiao Ting of the clan.

She hadn't paid much attention at the time, but recalling it now, it didn't seem so hard to accept that Xiao Yao had saved her and her clansmen.

"He wiped out all the cultivators of the Spirit Crane Sect here single-handedly. The Young Clan Leader is so fierce!"

"Is this still the Young Clan Leader I know?"

"It must be. I personally witnessed the Young Clan Leader effortlessly kill Xiao Ting."

Xiao Yao took out a Sea Splitting Tier healing pill and threw it to Xiao Xueyu, who had a cultivation of Sea Opening Realm third layer. "Take it quickly, lest your current injuries turn into difficult-to-treat hidden wounds."

Xiao Xueyu took it with both hands and then paused.

She never thought that one day she would receive a gift from Xiao Yao.

"Young Clan Leader, don't you care about the past ridicule from the clan members?"

Xiao Yao's expression turned somber. "Of course, I care!"

At that moment, the Xiao family members who were healing felt a jolt in their hearts, thinking that something bad was bound to happen next!

"But I am now the helmsman of the Xiao family. If I dwell on such things, wouldn't that make me seem petty?"

The Young Clan Leader has such broad-mindedness!

The Xiao family has such a successor; the future is promising!

The Xiao family members cast admiring glances, and even Xiao Xueyu couldn't help but show a hint of it.

Xiao Yao's lips curved into a faint smile. He had already let Xiao Wei secretly deal with those who had truly treated him poorly!

How could it still be here now?

While the Xiao Family members were healing, Xiao Yao curiously asked Xiao Juan beside him.

"Can you tell me in detail about how the Spirit Crane Sect and you came into contact?"

After recalling for a moment, Xiao Juan described, "At that time, we saw a towering tree that resembled a human infant, shimmering with a dazzling light."

"Sister Xueyu said this was a Dao Fruit Tree of the Dao Beginning Tier. If one consumed a Dao Fruit, they could obtain a Dao in advance, and when it was time to break through into the Initial Dao Realm, there would be no bottlenecks."

"Just then, people from the Spirit Crane Sect, along with a group of black-clothed individuals, arrived! Our numbers and quality were inferior to theirs, so Sister Xueyu decisively gave the order for us to run."

"However, the black-clothed people had the Young Master of the Spirit Crane Sect, Cha Yong, pursue us, not wanting us to escape."

Xiao Yao murmured, "Black-clothed people?"

Currently, the black-clothed people he had seen were Duan Qi from the Dark Palace.

But the Dark Palace had been completely wiped out by the Demonic Path forces belonging to the Ghost Fiend Demon Emperor a week ago.

Therefore, this group of black-clothed people was likely from another force.

[Beep! As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its owner. So many Xiao Family members have died. If the black-clothed people aren't eliminated, this System cannot stand it. Thus, a mission is issued: Eliminate the black-clothed people. Mission time: Within twenty-four hours. The more black-clothed people killed, the better the rewards upon completion.]

[Beep! Friendly reminder: After all the black-clothed people are eliminated, the mission will automatically complete, and there is no need to wait for the mission time to end.]

Xiao Yao inwardly complained, "We don't even know how many black-clothed people there are now. Your friendly reminder isn't very useful."

[Beep! It's better than nothing!]

"That's true!" Xiao Yao silently agreed.

Three minutes later, due to the excellent healing pills Xiao Yao provided, all the Xiao Family members' injuries were healed.

Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Xueyu as she opened her beautiful eyes, and he was indeed slightly amazed.

But having seen his Master's true appearance, beauties of Xiao Xueyu's caliber couldn't tempt him at all.

"Xiao Xueyu, this Young Clan Leader intends to go find that Dao Fruit Tree, so I need someone to be my guide."

Xiao Xueyu recalled the events that had transpired, all the humiliation was due to those black-clothed people, so she volunteered, "Young Clan Leader, I am willing to lead the way!"

"What about these clan members then?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

Xiao Xueyu immediately replied, "We can have them wait in a hidden place first. If we haven't returned after a day, they don't need to wait anymore and can just leave."

"That's a good idea, but it can't fully guarantee the safety of the clan members. So, my opinion is to go together directly. No one can threaten me anyway."

If he only had the initial cultivation of Sea Opening Realm First Tier, Xiao Yao wouldn't have this confidence.

But now he possessed two great visions, the peak cultivation of Sea Opening Realm Second Tier, the Cloud-Riding Sword Art that had advanced to the Dao Beginning Tier without even being used yet, and the many life-saving items and talismans given by his Master.

Within the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, wanting him to die would be ten thousand times harder than a mortal ascending to heaven.

Xiao Xueyu looked at Xiao Yao, whose confidence was almost overflowing from his face. If he hadn't single-handedly annihilated all the cultivators of the Spirit Crane Sect before, she would have truly thought Xiao Yao was bragging.

After thinking for a moment, she looked again at the eager gazes of the clan members who wanted to follow, and said, "No problem!"
