Big brothers, send some recommendation votes my way!
At the sound, the old family head flew into a rage.
At such a critical moment, someone had actually come to cause trouble.
He discreetly glanced at Wu Bingchong from Spirit Hall.
He was afraid the man would form a bad impression of the Hua Family.
After all, how could anyone other than elders appear at a family meeting like this? It was far too improper.
Others would think that the Hua Family's two family heads had no popular support or authority within the family, which was why something like this had happened.
Wu Bingchong indeed thought the same.
His brow furrowed slightly.
Seeing this, the old family head's fury surged as he barked, "Which junior is outside? Get in here at once!"
The elders below could not help but frown.
They also assumed it was some junior from the family, but judging by the old family head's expression, he was probably about to come down hard on them.
Everyone's eyelids twitched.
They exchanged glances, wondering whether they should plead for mercy later.
"A junior? Heh heh."
A cold laugh rang out, followed by someone walking in.
"It's you?!"
The old family head shot to his feet in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
But terror quickly appeared on his face.
Nearly half the elders below stood up, their eyes wide as they stared at the newcomer in utter disbelief.
The Great Elder's group looked utterly bewildered.
Then he exchanged looks with the three elders beside him.
He muttered, "Isn't that Instructor Si Tingxuan? Do the old family head and the others need to be this shocked at seeing him? It's not like they've never met him before."
"And this atmosphere feels a little off!"
A faint smile appeared on the family head's face.
He had made the right choice!
Though he was not exactly a good person either, he was a clear-headed man. One should never go too far in one's actions.
Especially when dealing with a super genius like Si Tingxuan.
If they succeeded, that was one thing. But if they failed, Spirit Hall would lose at most a few people.
For the vast and powerful Spirit Hall, that was nothing. But for the Hua Family—
It would be a catastrophic disaster!
He glanced at the old family head, his face darkening as he shook his head. "What a pity. Spirit Hall's empty promises have blinded him, and he cannot see this."
At the same time, he was profoundly shocked.
Although he had opposed it, he had learned from the old family head that the one taking action against Si Tingxuan this time was Vice Bishop Qin Haoyuan, who had approached him before.
That was a genuine Soul Douluo!
Yet Si Tingxuan was standing here now.
Had Si Tingxuan successfully escaped from Qin Haoyuan?
Judging by his appearance, he had not suffered any injuries. He must have possessed some special soul skill that Qin Haoyuan could not stop.
As for any other possibility, he had not even considered it!
But even so, Qin Haoyuan was not the only one in trouble. The Hua Family would likely be drenched in blood today as well.
Afterward, he looked again at Wu Bingchong, the Soul Sage from Spirit Hall.
Wu Bingchong no longer had his previous calm, lofty arrogance as he looked down on everyone.
All that remained was immense wariness!
At that moment, Si Tingxuan slowly stepped forward!
Yet his gaze remained fixed on the old family head. "Old family head of the Hua Family. At your age, you should obediently retire and enjoy your old age! Yet you insist on meddling in everything. I could not be bothered to interfere in the first place. After all, it was your Hua Family's own affair. But you should not have dragged Qingluo and me into it."
"Do you think I can no longer lift my sword? Or that my heart is too soft?"
"Or did you think that because Qingluo is my disciple, I would tolerate you joining forces with Spirit Hall to scheme against me?"
By the end, the killing intent around him erupted without concealment, turning into a bone-chilling coldness that instantly swept through the entire room.
Everyone could not help but shudder.
The Great Elder and the others who knew nothing about it wore expressions of utter disbelief.
To them, Si Tingxuan was the Hua Family's benefactor!
If not for Si Tingxuan, whether the Hua Family would even still exist was a question.
Yet the old family head had joined forces with Spirit Hall and stabbed him in the back.
His attitude of endlessly yielding to the Fang Family before had already shown that he was somewhat confused, but they had never expected him to be confused to such an extent.
The old family head of the Fang Family had been dead for who knew how long, yet he still held onto that favor so deeply.
But when it came to Si Tingxuan, he had forgotten the immense kindness of saving the entire Hua Family in the blink of an eye.
Should they say he was loyal and righteous, or ungrateful?
At the same time, they understood that today's matter could not end peacefully.
But for a moment, none of them knew what to do. As members of the Hua Family, when the family faced trouble, they should be the first to step forward.
But the Hua Family had been ungrateful first, so they could not blame others for coming to demand an explanation.
That was why the old family head had not told them about this. Although these four were hot-tempered, they all had proper values.
If they had known beforehand, they definitely would not have agreed.
At this moment, Wu Bingchong stepped forward and stared coldly at Si Tingxuan. "Si Tingxuan, are you truly determined to oppose Spirit Hall to the end?"
His face was cold, but his eyes were filled with wariness!
Perhaps the Hua Family did not know that this man before them had killed three Soul Sages by himself, but Wu Bingchong knew.
"Hahaha!"
Si Tingxuan laughed. He shifted his gaze from the old family head to Wu Bingchong. "I'm opposing Spirit Hall?"
"Are you joking with me?"
"Your Vice Bishop first sent three Soul Sages to ambush me, and I killed them instead. That means I'm opposing Spirit Hall?"
"Now you've joined forces with the Hua Family to deal with me! And that means I'm opposing Spirit Hall too?"
"So if you want to kill me, I should just surrender and let you kill me—that's what counts as not opposing Spirit Hall, right?"
"Since that's the case, then I'll oppose Spirit Hall to the very end!"
As he spoke the final sentence, Si Tingxuan's killing intent surged toward Wu Bingchong like a tidal wave.
"Not good."
Wu Bingchong's expression changed drastically.
He instantly released his martial soul. "Martial Soul Possession!"
A Poaching Fire Lizard appeared behind him.
At the same time, two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings rose from his body.
But at that moment, Si Tingxuan already had both swords in hand. "Ice Flame Two-Word Slash!"
Fire God Palm and Icy Palm circulated their power at the same time!
They empowered the Ice Flame Dual Swords.
Then he held the two swords to his left, forming the character for "two," before swinging them fiercely.
Flame above, ice below—two streaks of Sword Qi shot forth!
Swish!
Too fast!
Skills like Si Tingxuan's, which only required him to release his martial soul, were far beyond what ordinary soul masters could match.
At this moment, Wu Bingchong's Seventh Soul Ring had only just lit up.
Yet he had already been struck by the two streaks of Sword Qi.
Wu Bingchong was instantly hit!
His lower body was frozen by frigid air, while his upper body began burning beneath the flaming Sword Qi.
He got to experience what Ice and Fire Double Heaven truly meant.
