Jia Xingtian Would Surely Regret It, Yan Xiao's Identity Revealed

"I won't stop you?"

Jia Xingtian thought Hai Bodong's words were utterly absurd.

As the head of the Mu Clan and one of the Ten Great Experts of the Jia Ma Empire, Mu Chen holds a pivotal position throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Many members of the Mu Clan hold important positions in the Imperial military.

If Mu Chen dies, the resulting upheaval will be far from good for the Imperial Family.

As a representative of the Imperial Family, he had to consider issues from the perspective of the empire.

Therefore, Mu Chen cannot die.

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian unleashed his aura as a peak Dou Emperor, and said to Hai Bodong, "Ice Emperor, it's better to talk things out. Why bother with fighting?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong immediately understood Jia Xingtian's attitude. He shrugged helplessly and released the Mystic Ice Spear from his hand.

"Old friend, you'll regret this," Hai Bodong said with certainty.

Jia Xingtian shook his head, puzzled, and looked at Mu Chen, asking, "Mu Clan, what exactly happened?"

Mu Chen took out a healing pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it. Feeling his injuries slightly healed, he pointed to the reception room of the Mittal Auction House, at the huge gap in the wall.

Through the gap, one could see Xiao Yan, Ya Fei, and security personnel from the Mittal Auction House standing in the reception room.

Mu Chen's voice was furious. "That masked guy, relying on the Ice Emperor's backing, had someone injure my Mu Clan's outstanding junior Mu Zhan, and even sever his Achilles tendon."

"I only wanted justice, but Hai Bodong tried to attack me. I voluntarily stepped back, only wanting to take Mu Zhan away. But this man wouldn't let it go and even had Mu Zhan's tendons severed and his meridians destroyed!"

"I was so angry that I wanted to take action, but Hai Bodong, relying on his superior cultivation, tried to kill me too... I implore Jia Lao to uphold justice!"

"You!" Hai Bodong's expression turned cold instantly upon hearing Mu Chen's out-of-context and distorted facts, Mystic Ice Spear in his hand condensed once more.

"Ice Emperor." Jia Xingtian released his Dou Qi, shattering Hai Bodong's Mystic Ice Spear, and frowned.

He naturally knew what kind of people Mu Chen and Mu Zhan were, and he believed Mu Chen's words to some extent.

Considering Mu Zhan's neurotic and crazy personality, and the fact that the conflict took place at the Mittal Auction House, he could guess that Mu Zhan had started the trouble first, only this time he had run into a tough nut to crack.

But none of that matters.

Judging solely from the losses, Mu Chen was injured, Mu Zhan was completely crippled, and the Mu Clan lost face. It is no exaggeration to say that the losses were severe.

In contrast, the Mittel Family was already incredibly wealthy, but their power had declined somewhat after Hai Bodong's disappearance, and they had become much more low-key.

Now that Hai Bodong has returned and joined forces with the Xiao Clan, he is truly troubled and wary.

Whether it was to help the Mu Clan or to suppress the Mittel Family, Jia Xingtian, after Jia Xingtian consideration, made what he believed to be the wisest decision.

He said to Hai Bodong, "Ice Emperor, this time it was your Mittel Family's fault. Prepare some treasures for the Mu Clan as compensation."

Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes, his brows furrowing instantly. "Jia Xingtian, as an old friend, I'll give you one last piece of advice: understand the whole story before making a decision."

Jia Xingtian scoffed, "Mu Zhan is the most promising junior in the Mu Clan, and you've already crippled him. Mu Chen was also injured by you and lost face. Even so, it's time to let this go."

Hai Bodong didn't answer, but looked at Xiao Yan, who was standing at the gap in the reception room watching the show, seeking instructions.

Jia Xingtian followed Hai Bodong's gaze and saw that Hai Bodong was actually asking the masked man for instructions, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

suddenly.

At the gap, Xiao Yan's figure flickered slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already moved from the reception room to the outside and stood in front of Mu Chen.

Before Mu Chen could react, he slapped him across the face.

Snap!

The sound of a slap echoed through the suddenly silent street.

Everyone looked over and saw that Mu Chen's cheek was rapidly swelling and reddening, and a bright red handprint was slowly appearing.

"So fast!" Jia Xingtian's pupils contracted, and his gaze towards Xiao Yan instantly became wary.

Mu Chen belatedly realized what was happening, clutching his throbbing cheek, his gaze fixed on Xiao Yan.

"Who are you! How dare you attack a high-ranking official of my Jia Ma Empire? Isn't that too presumptuous!" Jia Xingtian shouted, his vigilance towards Xiao Yan reaching its peak.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "He distorted the truth and deserved to be punished. How can you say he acted arbitrarily?"

Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes, sensing Xiao Yan's aura. He could only sense that Xiao Yan was extremely powerful, seemingly no less than Hai Bodong, but not as powerful as himself.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said with a serious expression, "He has already received the punishment he deserved; let's be lenient."

Xiao Yan moved slowly and calmly, shaking his head. "That's just what you think Jia Lao, but I don't think he received the punishment he deserved."

"Moreover, I have grown from humble beginnings to where I am today not to preach rules, but to set rules."

"How many weak people did he, Mu Zhan, and even the entire Mu Clan bully in the past? I want to include them all now. Does the Jia Lao have any objections?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you have opinions; it won't change my mind."

Jia Xingtian frowned and said, "Nonsense. Although the Mu Clan is arrogant, they don't often attack ordinary people or ordinary Dou Zhe. If they are all considered to be bullying the weak, then there are countless families in the empire that bully the weak, not just the Mu Clan! Are you going to interfere with all of them?"

Xiao Yan looked at Jia Xingtian and suddenly smiled, "Jia Lao certainly has an interesting way of speaking."

"I just made up a reason to attack, and you're going to nitpick my reason?"

"Alright, I'll give you another reason."

Xiao Yan pointed at Mu Chen and slowly said, "I noticed the number of hairs on his head, and it's exactly the number I dislike, so... I want him and the Mu Clan to die. Is there a problem with that?"

Jia Xingtian Xiao Yan's blunt words, "You... this... you... sigh..."

As for Mu Chen, he was so enraged by Xiao Yan's shamelessness that his chest heaved and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Hearing Xiao Yan's frankness, Hai Bodong couldn't help but laugh.

However, unlike Jia Xingtian and the others, he understood why Xiao Yan treated the Mu Clan this way.

To dare to harbor designs on the Xiao Clan was undoubtedly a gracious attack on Xiao Yan, a man who was deeply sentimental at heart.

Hai Bodong was certain that Xiao Yan, though outwardly calm, was most likely already thinking about how to wipe out the Mu Clan before the Mu Zhan even happened.

Mu Zhan's provocation was merely a preemptive move to force Xiao Yan to act.

At that very moment.

In the distance, two more figures arrived late: one was an imposing middle-aged man, and the other was a young girl dressed in a blue dress, looking like a fairy from the mortal world.

The two were none other than Nalan Su and his daughter Nalan Yanran, who had come from the Nalan Family.

We've arrived here.

The two quickly scanned the entire room.

Nalan Su's gaze swept over the three Dou Huang expert, Fama, Fa Ma, Hai Bodong Jia Xingtian, before finally landing on Mu Chen, the head of the Mu Clan, his eyes filled with inquiry and curiosity about what had happened.

On the other hand, Nalan Yanran's gaze was immediately fixed on that familiar figure the moment she arrived.

Looking at Xiao Yan's familiar figure and mask, she couldn't hide her joy. "Master Yan Xiao!"

"Yan Xiao?!"

Before anyone else could react to the name, Fa Fama, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly had a glint in his eyes and stared intently at Xiao Yan: "You're the Master Yan Xiao who refined the Dou Ling Pill in Black Rock City and was certified as Sixth-Rank Alchemist Yan Xiao?!"
