As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Cheng Xue i’s face changed dramatically.
"Why are you inquiring about the Black Witch Clan?" Cheng Xue i asked solemnly.
"A certain Master Liao of the Black Witch Clan owes sothing and hasn’t returned it for a long ti. I’m stopping by Xiangxi this ti to ask for it back," Ye Tian said with a faint smile.
"I advise you, it’s best not to engage with the Black Witch Clan or the Liao Family. Among the Five Major Families of Xiangxi, the Liao Family is the most bizarre, insidious, and poisonous. They are supporters of the Black Witch Clan, using witchcraft to harm people. In Xiangxi, both the Liao Family and the Black Witch Clan are shunned. Everyone avoids them," Cheng Xue i said seriously.
"If they’re so shunned, why not make them disappear?" Ye Tian asked.
"You’re an outsider and don’t understand Xiangxi. Outsiders only know about Xiangxi’s witchcraft and corpse-driving legends. However, they are unaware that witchcraft can be both good and evil. The good is the White Witch, who saves people and blesses them. The Black Witch, however, is all about harming people and cursing them. It’s simple to harm with a poisonous herb or a Gu Worm, but saving people is difficult. Thus, through the ages, the Black Witch has flourished while the White Witch has declined, and that’s even more true today. The Liao Family is representative of the Black Witch Clan, so they hold great power here in Xiangxi. Offending them rarely ends well. Their thods are hard to guard against, and even other families don’t want to provoke them easily to avoid unnecessary trouble. Over the years, we’ve basically kept to ourselves," Cheng Xue i explained.
Ye Tian didn’t take Cheng Xue i’s words to heart. Killing is easy; saving is hard. So it’s not surprising the White Witch can’t compete with the Black Witch.
But no matter how secretive or powerful the Black Witch Clan is, what are they to Ye Tian?
Seeing Ye Tian’s indifference, Cheng Xue i warned him again with a grave tone.
"I’ve told you so much just to advise you, don’t get involved with the Black Witch Clan or the Liao Family, because you can’t afford to provoke them."
"Not getting involved might not be an option. They owe sothing, and they must pay it back—with interest," Ye Tian replied, his voice relaxed.
"Why won’t you listen to reason? Xiangxi isn’t as simple as you think," Cheng Xue i said anxiously.
Xiangxi, this ancient land, has always been known for its mystery in Huaxia.
Being a native of Xiangxi, Cheng Xue i knows it well. It’s precisely because of her understanding that she has reverence for this land and the clans and forces it nurtures.
No matter how influential Ye Tian is elsewhere, when he arrives in Xiangxi, he must remain low-key. Otherwise, his end won’t be good.
"I just want to reclaim what’s mine. You don’t need to be so nervous; just take to the Liao Family," Ye Tian said.
"Aunt, you should take Brother Ye there," Cheng Guo also said.
"Guoguo, it’s not that Aunt doesn’t want to help, but I don’t want to put your Brother Ye in danger," Cheng Xue i said helplessly.
"Moreover, Guoguo, you shouldn’t have co back this ti. Since the Gu Worm in your body has been cleared, you should have stayed with your sister. Now that you’re back, if the Inspector from the Holy Witch Sect cos, they won’t let you off easily," Cheng Xue i continued, with a hint of worry in her tone.
"Aunt, I had to co back. If I hide out there, it’ll implicate the villagers here. If the Inspector of the Holy Witch Sect cos, I’ll say the Holy Witch Gu inside died on its own. Without the Holy Witch Gu in , they surely won’t take away," Cheng Guo said.
"You’re being too naive. The Holy Witch Sect people are even harder to deal with than those of the Black Witch Clan."
Cheng Xue i shook her head and sighed softly.
Hearing Cheng Xue i’s grave tone, Cheng Guo couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
"How much longer until the Inspector from the Holy Witch Sect arrives?" Ye Tian suddenly asked.
"Probably this week, as usual. Mr. Mo, after a couple of days in Xiangxi, you should return to Shanghai with Guoguo. If people from the Holy Witch Sect learn that you can eliminate their Holy Witch Gu, they won’t spare you," Cheng Xue i advised earnestly.
"You don’t need to worry about . If you don’t want to take to the Liao Family, I’ll go by myself."
Ye Tian smiled slightly.
"Alright, I’ll take you there."
Cheng Xue i had no choice. After hesitating for a mont, she agreed to Ye Tian’s request.
"Let’s go now," Ye Tian said, smiling.
"Now?" Cheng Xue i was taken aback.
Ye Tian nodded confidently, leaving Cheng Xue i with no choice but to agree.
After leaving the hotel, Cheng Xue i drove Ye Tian towards the Liao Family. Along the way, Cheng Xue i continued trying to persuade Ye Tian, but he remained silent.
After half an hour, the van arrived at a mansion.
"We’re here," Cheng Xue i announced.
This is the Liao Family Mansion.
"Wait for for ten minutes," Ye Tian said, then got out of the car and headed straight for the mansion.
The guards at the gate were nothing more than a formality in Ye Tian’s eyes.
Seeing Ye Tian injure the guards and force his way in, Cheng Xue i knew the situation was getting out of control. She quickly parked the car by the roadside, anxiously waiting.
The Liao Family Mansion was luxurious, with gardens, artificial hills, and ponds. Master Liao was currently in the garden, relaxing and chatting with the Liao Family mbers.
Master Liao, whose real na is Liao Huazhong, is the most powerful person in the Liao Family, with a high status within the family.
Since being defeated by Ye Tian in Shanghai, Master Liao had been planning his revenge upon returning to Xiangxi, but he was afraid of Ye Tian’s power and dared not act rashly.
"Uncle, three days have passed, and you haven’t gone to Shanghai. Won’t that person refuse to let it rest and co to Xiangxi to cause you trouble?" said a middle-aged mber of the Liao Family.
The high-ups in the Liao Family were aware of Master Liao’s encounter in Shanghai, and because of their awareness, they were concerned. They knew Master Liao’s capabilities well, being one of the best in witchcraft within the Liao Family and a Black Witch Clan elder. To defeat him, one’s power must be formidable.
"I wish he would co to Xiangxi. If he dares, I’ll make sure he never returns," Master Liao said coldly, holding a wine glass at the stone table and taking a sip.
"That person is formidable, but I doubt he’d dare co to Xiangxi. This land isn’t a place outsiders can tread on at will."
"Exactly. Our Liao Family fears no one. Uncle is right; if he dares co, he’ll never return."
The mbers of the Liao Family all concurred. They were one of the overlords of Xiangxi, arrogant for a long ti. As long as they stayed in Xiangxi, they had enough confidence.
While they were discussing Ye Tian, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by. In the dim distance, a figure slowly walked towards them.
