"However... since it has already happened, there's no point in me saying more. You've probably guessed why I, Cao Tian, have returned. From now on, I will be the head of the Cao Clan family. You have no choice but to agree!"
When Cao Tian said those words, although his attitude was gentle and he even had a smile on his face, it aroused everyone's anger in the hall.
The anger emanating from Cao Xiang was like a raging fire threatening to engulf the surroundings. He roared, " Cao Tian, I'm only letting you off the hook because you're my elder brother. You can still regret it!"
Old Master Cao Yanjun, his face also full of worry, advised, " Tian'er, I was sorry for what I did to you back then, but please don't make a mistake like this."
Cao Tian chuckled and said, "Ha! That's easy for you to say. Look at your good son, Cao Xiang! He's a Soul King, while you, sir, are only Soul Emperor."
"My son Cao Fei is already a Soul Emperor, and I am even Quasi-Soul Saint. What qualifications does Cao Xiang have to be the head of the Cao Clan family?"
Upon hearing this, the pale young man beside him suddenly perked up, looking at everyone in the hall with an arrogant expression.
"Dad, stop wasting your breath on them. The positions in the Cao Clan family have always been held by the most capable. Cao Xiang should relinquish this position."
However, Cao Tian pretended to scold him, saying, "How dare you speak to your elders like that? You have no manners, get out of here."
"Yes." Cao Fei immediately shut his mouth and stepped aside.
At this moment, Cheng Gang and his group had landed on the ground. The changes that had occurred in the Cao Clan naturally alerted them.
Seeing the aggressive manner of the other party, Xu Tianshui had already summoned a large number of Royal Guard to surround the Cao Clan.
They happened to run into Cao Yu, who was on his way back. A short while later, Tang Ya, Ning Tian, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Jiujiu also arrived.
" Little Yu, what happened at your home?"
"I don't know, let's go in and take a look."
The uninvited guests guarding the courtyard tried to stop them, but upon hearing that they were from the Cao Clan, they immediately let them in.
The guards gave a sinister smile and said, "Heh! Aren't we just walking into a trap?"
The next second, before they could even close the door, the Royal Guard rushed in and pinned them to the ground.
Several of the individuals with the cultivation level of Soul Douluo were easily subdued by the four Guardian Douluo: Xu Tianshui, Cheng Gang, Liu Kongzhu, and Lu Xuanshui.
They were powerless to resist the powerful, and they didn't even have time to use their Soul Tool before being pinned to the ground.
After all, their speed was far too slow in the eyes of Xu Tianshui and his group.
However, before figuring out the situation, they did not take action to cripple these people's cultivation.
" Cheng Gang, you guys stay here. Little Yu and I will go in and take a look," Xu Tianshui instructed them.
Cheng Gang glared at him a few times with a displeased expression, but didn't say anything more.
The Cao Clan was very large, and the entire compound was quite a distance from the council hall, so the commotion that occurred there was not heard by the people inside.
Even if it existed, I didn't take it seriously.
Cao Tian and his son were still busy forcing Cao Xiang to relinquish his position as head of the Cao Clan family.
The naive children were unaware that the people they had brought with them had already been taken into custody.
" Cao Clan, what has happened? Do you need our help?"
At this moment, Xu Tianshui and his group had already entered the hall, and everyone in the living room was taken aback.
Cao Tian only seemed slightly surprised. Clearly, he did not recognize Xu Tianshui in front of him. After all, twenty years ago, the Cao Clan was just a small family and had no right to meet Xu Tianshui, a member of the royal family.
His son, Cao Fei, turned his attention to Tang Ya and the others. Beneath their exquisite appearances lay graceful and charming figures, and he discovered that each of these beauties possessed unique characteristics.
Cao Fei's eyes revealed a burning greed, and his tongue couldn't help but lightly lick his lips, even his pale face began to show a rosy hue.
Cao Yu naturally noticed the unfriendly-looking fellow, and anger welled up within him.
"Senior, this is a family matter of the Cao Clan. Please do not interfere." Out of caution, Cao Tian still warned Xu Tianshui a few times.
"What exactly happened?" Cao Yu asked.
At this moment, the elders of the Cao Clan spoke up, " Little Yu, these scoundrels of the Cao Clan have come back to force your father to abdicate." After saying that, they gestured to Cao Yu with their eyes, then made a gesture across their necks, and the group instantly understood.
"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Heavenly Water." Cao Yu stepped aside, and then saw Xu Tianshui appear in front of Cao Tian and his son in the blink of an eye.
He grabbed them by the neck with one hand each, and before they could resist, their Martial Soul were temporarily imprisoned, rendering them unable to move.
"Let me go! Family matters are none of your business, you outsiders! Are you going to break this rule?" Cao Tian roared angrily as he lay on the ground.
He never expected that the Cao Clan would have such a powerful ally, even though he couldn't see through Xu Tianshui's full strength.
Judging from his actions just now and the current situation, this person's cultivation level must have reached at least the Titled Douluo; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to enter the Cao Clan's gate.
After all, there were several Soul Douluo guarding outside, yet they didn't make a sound when they came in.
Thinking of this, Cao Tian broke out in a cold sweat.
I was careless! I should have inquired about the Cao Clan's situation over the years before coming back. I don't even know when Cao Xiang and his group found a backer.
At this moment, Cao Yu approached Cao Fei, squatted down, and asked in a cold voice, "Where were your dog eyes looking just now? Speak!"
"No... no, I'm blind, I can't see anything." Cao Fei kept her head down, not daring to look him in the eye, trembling the whole time.
Cao Xiang and the old man witnessed this scene, but they didn't say anything. Instead, they sat to the side drinking tea, unwilling to pay any attention.
Their feelings were all mixed at the moment. After all, being pricked by their closest relatives was a bit hard for them to handle, so they decided to let Little Yu handle it.
Anyway, Little Yu didn't have much of a relationship with Cao Tian and his son, so she didn't feel any guilt about dealing with them.
The old man and Cao Xiang thought to themselves.
The next second, a task pop-up appeared in the system window.
[Congratulations, host, you have activated a hidden mission: Choose to kill Cao Tian and his son or spare their lives.]
[Let it go: Receive the mission reward, a Immoral Dog.]
Kill him: Receive quest reward, an invisibility cloak.
Hmm? Just as Cao Yu was wondering how to deal with these two people, he accepted a hidden quest provided by the system.
"But only children make choices, I want them all!" Cao Yu's lips curled up at a 45-degree angle as he smiled smugly.
First, Xu Tianshui destroyed their Martial Soul.
He then claimed his first mission reward, and before he could even close the workbook, he quickly drew his Attractiveness Holy Sword and stabbed it into their heads.
With a "click".
The two of them died! Then, Cao Yu hurriedly claimed the final mission reward at the last second before the task was completed.
System:?? Are you trying to exploit a bug here?
[ps] Day 4 of the diary. The author is going to get vaccinated tomorrow, so there may only be two updates. I haven't gotten my second shot yet.
