You? You Dare to Yell in Front of Me (Third Update, Seeking Collection)

The Xie Family Head turned back to look, only to see a black syringe lying quietly beside that medicinal pill.

The Soul Power in the Xie Family Head's hand slowly dissipated.

The ferocious expression on his face also vanished.

He stared silently at Xie An, and after a long while, he let out a sigh.

That sound held confusion, unwillingness, and a hint of relief that had just welled up from the bottom of his heart.

As the Xie Family Head, he had always wanted to see the Xie family reach higher and further.

This thought was like a Root, deeply embedded in his heart.

Thus, he cooperated with the Spirit Pagoda, and the family's strength could be said to have risen with the tide.

The Xie Family Head suddenly looked up, meeting Xie An's eyes, which were excessively calm, and his thoughts drifted back to ten years ago.

Ten years ago, a young girl who called herself Bell came to the Xie family, wanting to cooperate on experiments.

That female soul master told him that due to special reasons, they needed some "peripheral forces" to undertake certain research projects that were inconvenient to make public.

She always kept her head slightly lowered when she spoke, her voice soft, making people inexplicably want to trust her.

She said that although these experiments were a bit special and required sacrificing some people, these individuals were all heinous criminals, and the Xie family's strength would also increase tremendously.

But now, as he stood before Xie An, and as that black syringe lay quietly beside the medicinal pill, with that familiar aura permeating the air, something in his mind suddenly shattered.

He could not recall the face of that young girl no matter how hard he tried.

He struggled to remember, but only recalled that she always kept her head down, her voice soft yet youthful, her double buns swaying in the air, and her short shirt and skirt looking exceptionally good.

Her features, her hair color, her figure—every detail seemed shrouded in mist, as blurry as a dream.

The only thing he still had an impression of was that the girl's voice was as pleasant as a silver bell.

Could it be that I have been wrong all these years?

As soon as this thought surfaced, it was suppressed by another, more intense emotion.

No, I am not wrong, I cannot be wrong!

I was merely cooperating with that mysterious girl named Bell; although the methods were somewhat inhumane and only sacrificed a portion of criminals, the family's power had truly and solidly increased!

As a member of the family, shouldn't the Temple Master support this vigorously?

Why must he keep harping on it? There are some things the Temple Master cannot do, but I can do them for the Temple Master!

He is right, he is not wrong!

No one was a fool; upon seeing the first pill, they already knew why Xie An had come.

When Xie An threw out the second syringe, it was clear he did not intend to let the matter go and wanted to bring it out into the open.

"Temple Master, you haven't returned home for many years; why not stay for a few more days? I will certainly give you a proper explanation."

The Xie Family Head bowed again, but when he looked up once more, he was still met with Xie An's calm eyes.

Since sitting down, Xie An had not said a single word from beginning to end.

He simply watched the scenes unfolding in the hall calmly, as if watching a ridiculous farce.

"Temple Master, why not speak plainly?"

The Xie Family Head put away his smile and sycophancy, standing with his hands behind his back.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire hall became tense.

Sun Wenxuan felt a bit of fear; what right did he have to witness such a grand scene?

Xie An slowly stood up, threw the syringe and the pill at the Xie Family Head, and said indifferently: "Take me to see it first. If you cooperate regarding the experiments you did with those people, perhaps you might still keep your life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the soul masters present changed drastically.

The soul masters of the Spirit Pagoda had already begun to send messages.

According to their brief descriptions:

The War God Temple Master had returned to the Xie family, carrying an unknown drug to hold the Xie Family Head accountable.

At the same time, the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda Master and the Tang Sect received the news separately.

Spirit Pagoda:

"The War God Temple Master intends to take action against our own?"

"Forget it, this matter is too significant; it is better to report it to Pagoda Master Qiangu."

"What, you say we don't have the authorization to contact Pagoda Master Qiangu? Then contact Vice Pagoda Master Heavenly Phoenix."

Tang Sect:

"A secret agent has urgent business to report."

"Quickly transmit this matter to the Sect Master; yes, be fast."

"Something big is about to happen."

The scene shifts back to the Xie Family in the East Sea.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Xie Family Head. He stared at the slender figure of Xie An, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Temple Master, since we are family, why must we make things so unpleasant?"

"They were merely people who deserved to die; their deaths are of no consequence."

Beside him, Sun Wenxuan was deeply shocked. This was a complete falling out, yet he couldn't understand how the Xie Family Head, a mere Title Douluo, dared to act so arrogantly before the War God Temple Master.

Arrogance requires strength to back it up.

Xie An did not reach the position of War God Temple Master simply by running his mouth.

Xie An withdrew his gaze and, without answering, began to walk out of the room at a leisurely pace.

Sun Wenxuan felt a bit nervous, but he still followed closely behind.

Seeing this.

The Xie Family Head stood with his hands hanging at his sides inside the room, his eyes filled with a growing sense of malice.

He also took a step forward, slowly walking out of the room.

As Xie An walked toward the depths of the Xie residence, he stopped before a rockery and let out a sigh of admiration.

"What a grand scheme; it's actually a small space similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform."

"Since you're doing this right under my nose, will you open it yourself, or shall I do it for you?"

The few Spirit Pagoda spirit masters who had followed them already showed signs of wanting to retreat. It was clear the other party had come prepared, but it was unknown how much this War God Temple Master knew or what information he had gathered.

"Hoo."

The Xie Family Head closed his eyes, and black light erupted from the center of his brow. His cultivation climbed step by step, reaching an astonishing level 96 Super Douluo!

Three-Word Battle Armor quietly manifested on his body, its intensity faintly reaching that of a level 98.

"This, what is going on?"

Sun Wenxuan and the younger members of the Xie family exclaimed in shock.

"Since I've been discovered, there's nothing left to say. Let's fight!"

The Xie Family Head opened his eyes, and his aged voice rang out: "Do you see this, Xie An? This is the power I obtained through my cooperation with Miss Bell. Ten years—I have used it for ten years to go from a weak Title Douluo to my current height."

"If you hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have been exposed, and we could still be a loving family!"

"It's you! You little Spirit Douluo, sowing discord and ruining my plans!"

A thick, evil black mist erupted from the Xie Family Head and shot toward Sun Wenxuan.

Within that black mist, there were the cries of women, the terrified screams of children, the despair of the elderly before death, and the agony of grown men.

Sun Wenxuan wanted to dodge, but he found that he had been locked onto by a powerful Soul Power and could not move an inch. He could only close his eyes in despair.

"Can you tell me about this Miss Bell you speak of? And is this a secret technique of the Evil Soul Masters?"

"Forget it. Looking at you, you've been controlled; I suppose you wouldn't know anything anyway."

Xie An looked at the Xie Family Head's crazed state and shook his head.

"Tsk, I've always said that the path of an Evil Soul Master cannot be taken—at least not like the Holy Spirit Cult, where their brains rot from their cultivation."

"What makes you think a Super Douluo with such a shaky foundation dares to act so wildly in front of me!"

Xie An's tone shifted from his initial calm to a hint of murderous intent.

Sun Wenxuan realized he wasn't hurt. He opened his eyes and saw Xie An holding out a hand, blocking the mass of black mist.

"If you have any other tricks, use them quickly. I'm in a hurry."

"Impossible! I am infinitely close to a Limit Douluo; how can you be so relaxed!"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

"Ghostly Forest: Nether Myriad Phenomena!"

A mass of purple flames rose up, swirling with multiple hideous ghosts as it spiraled toward Xie An.

The sound was filled with infinite resentment, intent on tearing the War God Temple Master into pieces.

"Sigh, if you aren't at this level, you will never understand my current state."

"You haven't even reached the peak of level 98, so how can you talk about touching the limit?"

As he spoke, Xie An rubbed his ear with one finger and reached out his other hand, grabbing directly at the ghosts.

"You're a bit noisy."

That hand was like solid copper and iron; no matter how the ghosts charged, they could not shake it in the slightest.

"No more moves? Is it my turn now?"

"No, no, this is impossible! This is impossible!"

Xie An raised a finger, and a burst of spear intent erupted from it, piercing directly through the Xie Family Head's temple.

"Hmm, time to see what's inside."

Xie An turned toward the rockery, tore open the space with his hand, and stepped inside.

Sun Wenxuan hurriedly shouted from behind: "Temple Master, wait for me!" Saying this, he followed him in before the space could close.
