Pretty Tough Bones

"What, still standing still? You can't even deal with your own people? Do you not like your own subordinates? Should I have someone throw them into the forest outside the city and get rid of them?"

Xiao Tian's calm voice slowly drifted from the high platform.

Ling Quan's eyes flickered slightly, then he took out a large amount of healing medicine and carefully fed it to the Black Annihilation Army members.

Finally, he reluctantly took out a high-grade Sixth Rank healing medicine from Yang Hao.

Except for Yang Hao, everyone else who took the healing medicine recovered and scrambled to Ling Quan's side as soon as they woke up.

Yang Hao was being supported by one of them, and they looked at the people from the Free and Unfettered Hall around them with a mixture of fear and wariness.

After being helped and jostled around, Yang Hao regained consciousness and instinctively tried to circulate his Dou Qi, but was instantly suppressed by a familiar aura.

"What are you doing here? You even forced your way in. Is this how the Black Annihilation Army behaves in the outside world?" Xun'er said to the group of the Black Annihilation Army Black Annihilation Army, who all lowered their heads when she looked at them.

This is utterly shameful. If we go back now, we won't be punished, but we'll definitely be ridiculed.

"Reporting to Miss, the Elder are worried that you might get hurt outside, so they specifically sent us to escort you back to your clan." Yang Hao stepped forward, forcing himself to speak.

"Oh, so you're looking down on us two old men? You think our cultivation is far inferior to yours?" Gu Qing frowned slightly and said bluntly.

"If even we can't protect Miss, what can you do with your meager strength? Are you just going to throw your lives away? Or do you think that all of you combined are stronger than us? If that's the case, how come I didn't see that earlier?"

Gu Feng scoffed and said disdainfully.

Given their strength, their status within the clan was naturally quite high.

"You two are too kind. We are naturally no match for your strength at the moment, but this is the Elder ' order, and we can only obey."

Yang Hao bowed slightly to Qing Feng Two Elders, but he also brought out the Elder of his clan.

"Oh? You mean, the orders you received were to forcibly break into my Free and Unfettered Hall?"

Xiao Tian looked at Yang Hao, Ling Quan, and the others, and his aura instantly erupted.

The members of the Black Annihilation Army instantly felt a powerful pressure. They tried to circulate their Dou Qi to resist, but their pitiful Dou Qi was like paper in front of Xiao Tian and shattered instantly.

Bang! Bang!!

Many members of the Black Annihilation Army were forced to lie flat on the ground by this overwhelming aura, including Ling Quan. The only one who could still stand was Yang Hao, but he was also at his limit, his body trembling constantly, his teeth clenched tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulging.

"Oh, they're quite tough, but their strength is a bit lacking."

Xiao Tian imitated Yun Shan's pretentious manner when he said this, and then slightly increased his aura.

"Snap!"

Yang Hao's legs finally gave way to the terrifying pressure, and he collapsed to his knees, his knees slamming into the stone slabs of the hall with a crisp cracking sound.

His face was ashen, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He frantically circulated his Dou Qi, but he couldn't even muster a shred of resistance.

Yang Hao gritted his teeth, his muscles tensed, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripping from between his fingers. He barely managed to lift his head, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Xiao Tian: "What is your strength? We are the Black Annihilation Army of the Gu Clan, and this is how you treat us?"

"Shut up!!" A cold shout rang out. Xun'er looked at Yang Hao, who had spoken, with an icy expression and no warmth in her eyes.

"Now you want to invoke the name of the Gu Clan? Aren't you ashamed enough? If it weren't for Xiao Tian Gege considering you're my clansmen, you'd all be dead by now."

"Furthermore, is this the discipline of your Black Annihilation Army? Is this what you call an elite gathering place? There's absolutely no discipline. I'd like to ask the Black Annihilation King and the Founding Elder how they manage things."

The Black Annihilation Army soldiers' eyes flickered as they buried their heads in the ground. Yang Hao even looked at Ling Quan, as if asking him how he would lead the team.

Ling Quan's face turned green. The pain he was already in from Xiao Tian's imposing aura was now compounded by panic. Cold sweat poured down his forehead. If this matter were investigated, he would be the one most responsible, and he might even be stripped of his Commander position.

After Xun'er finished speaking, Xiao Tian gently held her hand. Feeling the warmth of Xiao Tian's palm, Xun'er's cold face softened considerably.

Xiao Tian's eyes flashed, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"Treat you like this? What? Just because you're from the Gu Clan's Black Annihilation Army, you think you can just barge into other people's territories? If you're so powerful, why don't you go and storm the Soul Hall? Why don't you go and storm the Soul World? Are you too scared?"

Xiao Tian looked down on the Black Annihilation Army of the Gu Clan, and even most of the Gu Clan members. He believed that the clan members only bullied the weak and were cowardly when faced with the powerful.

Seeing the other person holding Xun'er's hand, a hint of jealousy flashed in Ling Quan and Yang Hao's eyes, but upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, both of them opened their mouths but couldn't utter any rebuttal, which could be considered as tacitly agreeing with Xiao Tian's words.

Xun'er was slightly disappointed to see the Black Annihilation Army like this. She had asked Xiao Tian what he thought of the Gu Clan, since she had seen that Xiao Tian knew so much.

Xiao Tian only commented: so-called "steadiness" and bullying only at home.

Afterwards Xun'er carefully observed the situation within the clan and found that it was indeed as Xiao Tian had said: they were domineering internally and only bullied those they considered weak, but were a bunch of pushovers to outsiders.

"Hmph, trash." Xiao Tian withdrew his aura, snorted lightly, and looked disdainfully at Ling Quan and the group of the Black Annihilation Army below who were like dead dogs.

"Let me guess, you should still be carrying the Blood Jade Token given to you by the Gu Clan Elder. Let me guess, the order is probably to invite my Xiao Clan to the Gu World for a meeting, and then, if necessary, to use force to forcibly take me away. And Yang Hao, you are the one who will carry out this order, right?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Yan Hao disregarded his physical pain, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stared at Xiao Tian in disbelief, as if asking, "How did you know? When the Elder gave this to me, besides myself, it was only the other Elder knew about it."

As Yang Hao pondered, a guess emerged in his mind, which was also what Xiao Tian had deliberately mentioned about the Blood Jade Token to guide him to think this way.

Upon hearing the words "Blood Jade Token" and seeing Yang Hao's expression, Xun'er instantly confirmed that it was exactly as Xiao Tian had said, and her face immediately turned icy cold.

If Xiao Tian didn't have his current strength, it's hard to imagine that Xiao Tian might have been injured or even taken back to the Gu World.

"I didn't expect you to bring even this. It seems you didn't listen to me."

Xun'er spoke in a flat voice, devoid of any emotion, but Xiao Tian, who knew Xun'er well, knew that Xun'er was truly angry this time.
