The three-day deadline had arrived!
The man in the lead seemed to be delivering a final ultimatum to the Ye Family!
The crowd outside was buzzing with discussion.
Xu Xiao also edged closer, watching with curiosity.
"Brother, could you tell me what's going on here?"
Xu Xiao patted a man standing next to him; he didn't know him anyway, they were all just here to watch the spectacle.
"Brother, you don't know?" the man asked, surprised.
Xu Xiao nodded earnestly: "What? Did the Ye Family kill someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
No sooner had Xu Xiao finished speaking than the man immediately clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Shh, brother, you can't just say things like that." The man kept his hand over Xu Xiao's mouth, glancing cautiously at their surroundings.
Fortunately, everyone nearby was focused on the drama.
"Brother, what is actually going on?" Xu Xiao asked.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wants to annex the Ye Family, and the Ye Family refuses..."
"And so, it's blown up into this."
The man explained it simply.
Having learned what he wanted, Xu Xiao quietly slipped away and moved to the other side.
The Ye Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Xu Xiao truly hadn't expected that it would be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect looking to annex the Ye Family.
Xu Xiao thought about it for a moment and understood; if it were him, he would want to annex the Ye Family too.
"I wonder if there's an opportunity here." Xu Xiao scratched his head, pondering how he might go about annexing the Ye Family himself.
Clearly, Xu Xiao was tempted; with the opportunity laid out right before him, how could he not be moved?
If the meat is delivered to your lips and you don't eat it?
Then you're a fool.
However, Xu Xiao did not act rashly for now, choosing instead to watch the show from the sidelines.
At the entrance of Ye Mansion, the arrogant demeanor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members was truly grating.
"Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot compare to the Clear Sky Sect, your Ye Family is not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan either."
"We have already given you three days."
"..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, an older man opened the gates of Ye Mansion.
The man exuded an air of scholarly elegance, gentle yet dignified.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, heh, you can have this mansion!"
After speaking, the man turned and walked into the residence, immediately beginning to gather the packed belongings to take away.
Four people emerged: the older man from before, two women, and a young boy.
Seeing this, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members scoffed: "Hmph, Ye Family, without the protection of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I will make it impossible for you to take a single step in this Heaven Dou City!"
The man looked at their departing backs with disdain, then scanned the onlookers: "From now on, anyone who dares to help the Ye Family is an enemy of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!!"
With that, the man left in a rage.
The onlookers let out a sigh; they hadn't expected the Ye Family to be so unyielding!
Xu Xiao took all of this in, cast a silent glance at the direction the Ye Family had left in, and slowly followed them.
The man from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was utterly dismissive; before coming, his Sect Master had instructed him that if the Ye Family was uncooperative, he should suppress them.
Let's see how long the Ye Family can hold out.
By then, no one in Heaven Dou City would dare refuse to give face to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He wasn't worried about them being snatched away; the Clear Sky Sect had four subordinate clans. Not to mention whether the Clear Sky Sect would even take an interest, even if they did, those four clans wouldn't just stand by.
That would lead to an outbreak of conflict, and the Clear Sky Sect would naturally have to make a choice.
As for the Blue Lightning? They were barely holding themselves together; they had no energy to spare for others.
The Martial Soul Hall? They were too far away to be a consideration.
The Heaven Dou Empire also had to give face to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so they naturally wouldn't interfere too much.
This was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's method: start with soft tactics, suppress if that fails, and if they still refuse, then resort to unconventional means.
But now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had miscalculated, adding an unpredictable variable. Even without this factor, they hadn't succeeded in the original timeline.
The Ye Family continued to exist later on, and even gained a talented descendant in Ye Lingling.
Xu Xiao ignored the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and followed the four members of the Ye Family alone.
The man, as the head of the Ye Family, easily detected Xu Xiao's trail, but he did not expose him, instead assuming the other party belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Truly like a persistent ghost," the man said coldly, his tone dripping with disdain.
The youth beside the man raised his eyes to look at him: "Father, did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect send someone to follow us?"
The man replied: "Ye Shengxin, there is no need to worry about such things; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does not yet dare to do anything to us."
"After all, I am a Soul Saint!"
The man comforted them, completely unbothered by the actions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Xu Xiao had never intended to keep his presence hidden from the other party; it was clear at a glance that the man's strength was not weak.
He was not a bad person, so there was no need to conceal anything.
At most, he simply didn't want others to discover that he was tailing the Ye Family.
The members of the Ye Family paid him no mind, heading toward a small private residence they had purchased.
Ye Shengxin's father furrowed his brows slightly; they were still following?
The four of them stopped in front of the new residence.
"People from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, do you really think my Ye Family is easy to bully?" The man let out a cold snort.
His Soul Power surged, directed squarely at the trailing Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao paused, relying on his physical body alone to withstand the pressure of the man's Soul Power.
Xu Xiao slowly stepped out, walking forward while bearing the brunt of the pressure.
"Senior, I am not a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!" Xu Xiao stated his position immediately, showing no signs of cowardice.
The man looked Xu Xiao up and down: "Heh, why should I believe you?"
Though he said this, the man was indeed somewhat shocked.
To be able to withstand his Soul Power pressure without begging for mercy?
He had more backbone than those from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, at least.
But he still could not be certain, especially since they were currently on bad terms with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
He had to be on his guard.
"Because I dared to follow you so openly."
"Because I dared to come here alone."
"Does Senior truly believe the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would send only one person?"
Xu Xiao chuckled, not worried in the slightest.
Setting aside whether the other party could actually kill him, even if they could, Xu Xiao could still escape.
After all, the man was merely an auxiliary-type Soul Master.
His combat power was not high; he only possessed a high Soul Power Level.
"Heh, go away; you are not welcome here." The man did not dwell on it further.
Regardless of whether he was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or not, he was unwelcome.
He had too many things to do right now to waste time entertaining a little brat.
"Senior, I have come under the orders of Seven Kill Douluo."
Seven Kill Douluo Chen Jianjun!
Upon hearing this name, the man stopped his steps toward the residence.
For a moment, he could not be sure if this fellow had truly been sent by Chen Jianjun.
If he had, he could not afford to offend him.
If he hadn't, it was unlikely the fellow would dare to invoke such a name.
The man hesitated for a moment before finally sighing.
His strength was still too weak; anyone could step on him...
"You... come in!"
