Capítulo 1379: Chapter 1398: Xiao Residence
“Sir, what did you say?” The young boy, unaware and innocent, asked upon hearing Ye Xuan’s mutter.
“Nothing!”
“Since I’ve promised to heal your mother, let’s not delay any further. Let’s go!” Ye Xuan said calmly.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the boy nodded vigorously and then hurriedly headed toward the Xiao Family.
anwhile, his uncle, Xiao Changhe, had a furrowed brow. He couldn’t explain why, but his spirit was constantly tense. Ever since he encountered Ye Xuan, he had an uneasy feeling, as if sothing terrifying was about to happen.
The three of them quickly headed to the Xiao Family, which drew the attention of the city’s onlookers. Observing Ye Xuan’s thin clothing, the crowd showed expressions of wonder and reverence, a reflection of their respect for strength.
It’s important to know that the cold in the Beichen Star Domain isn’t just ordinary cold, but rather a chill that perates Heaven and Earth. This chill seeps into the bones, making it difficult for mortals to survive in the Northern Territory without practicing so powerful blood and energy techniques.
That Ye Xuan was dressed in a single garnt was also indirect proof of his powerful cultivation.
As ti passed, the crowds on the streets gradually thinned out, and the jade-white pavilions that stretched to the horizon ca into Ye Xuan’s view.
The ten-zhang high black jade gates were flanked by two statues of guardian beasts, and there were two cultivators with sharp gazes watching over the gates. On a black and white gold plaque were inscribed two large characters — Xiao Residence.
“Sir, this is the Xiao Family. My mother is in the side courtyard.”
The boy spoke softly, his lips slightly clenched, a hint of blood appearing. The words “Xiao Family” and “side courtyard” were spoken heavily, clearly indicating so hidden aning.
“Xiao Yun, entering the residence, do not show such emotion. If soone reports this to the elders, both you and I will be punished,” Xiao Changhe sternly reminded him.
“Yes, uncle.”
Realizing his emotional turmoil, the boy bowed and took the order, suppressing his resentnt toward the family deep in his heart.
“His na is not Xiao Yun; his na is Ye Xuanmo. I’ll forgive you this mistake once, but do not repeat it,” Ye Xuan said casually, giving Xiao Changhe a fleeting glance that made him shudder internally. He could only nod stiffly, for even though Ye Xuan did not release any aura, a re glance was enough to terrify him to his core.
“Let’s go. Show your mother and fulfill your last wish.” Ye Xuan spoke calmly as he walked toward the main gate.
Ye Xuan’s action imdiately startled the uncle and nephew. They realized they had forgotten an important thing—they hadn’t told Ye Xuan.
The main gate of the Xiao Residence was reserved for distinguished guests or for the clan leader and elders. Everyone else was supposed to use the side gate. In their focus on the issue of the boy’s mother, they had neglected to inform Ye Xuan.
“Sir, the main…main gate is for honored guests…we need to enter through the side gate.” The boy spoke with embarrassnt, not daring to et Ye Xuan’s gaze.
Upon hearing the boy’s words, Ye Xuan paused for a mont and then calmly replied, “If I am not considered an honored guest, then who in the world would be?”
It was not arrogance but rather that Ye Xuan indeed had such standing. What did a re Xiao Residence count for in his eyes?
Not to ntion that he was now embarking on the path of Wendao, rely having killed the Lord of Extre Demon had already made him known throughout Chaos. A single flick of his finger could reduce such an aristocratic family to dust.
If Ye Xuan still had to enter by the side gate, wouldn’t such news beco a laughingstock if it got out?
Ye Xuan was not interested in the Xiao Family, but his true interest was the boy. Otherwise, why would he ever set foot there?
Ye Xuan strolled toward the Xiao Residence gate, a hint of amusent flashing in his eyes, as an intriguing scene was about to unfold.
The actions of the three had long caught the attention of the gatekeeping cultivators. Upon seeing the uncle and nephew return, the two guards were surprised, especially when they saw the stranger, Ye Xuan, wanting to enter through the main gate. Could this person be mad?
This was the Xiao Residence in Ice River City; not just anyone could be presumptuous here.
“Halt!”
The two guards shouted in unison, their long swords drawn, presenting a formidable sight.
“Two… two cousins, please hold your hands.”
Just returning to the Xiao Family, the uncle and nephew hadn’t expected this situation. Along the way, Ye Xuan seed increasingly mysterious in their eyes. Yet, even so, the uncle and nephew did not believe Ye Xuan could contend with the Xiao Family. No one understood the terror of the Xiao Family better than they did.
“Cousins?”
“Xiao Yun, you are just a re mortal. What right do you have to call us cousins?” one of the guards spoke disdainfully, his gaze toward the boy full of contempt.
The boy’s eyes flashed with humiliation, and Xiao Changhe’s expression darkened further. Although his cultivation was much higher than that of the two guards, they represented the Xiao Family’s facade, and he couldn’t offend them.
“If I were you two, I would quickly inform the Family Head that an honored guest has arrived,” Ye Xuan said calmly.
“Sir, you…” The boy, Xiao Yun, looked anxiously at Ye Xuan.
“Inform the Family Head? An honored guest?”
“Haha!”
The two guards burst into laughter, looking at Ye Xuan as if he were a fool.
Hiss!
Suddenly, the two guards swung their long swords, hacking ferociously toward Ye Xuan, their expressions grim as they shouted, “Boy, rember, there are places where you cannot act recklessly in your next life!”
Without further words, the two guards, who were fairly strong and represented the Xiao Residence’s facade, would surely cut down anyone who dared act presumptuously at the Xiao Family as a deterrent.
“Hold your hands.”
This scene prompted the uncle and nephew to exclaim in alarm, their eyes full of fear—not out of fear for Ye Xuan being killed by the sword, but out of fear that these two guards might die at Ye Xuan’s hands.
Unfortunately, to the two guards, it seed like the uncle and nephew were pleading for rcy for Ye Xuan, which made them smile cruelly, and they swung their blades at Ye Xuan even more viciously.
“Boy, rember, when facing an enemy, you must be rciless to carve out a world of your own.”
Ye Xuan turned back to look at the boy, without any movent other than a slight flicker in his eyes, and the surrounding space instantly twisted.
Bang! Bang!
The void exploded, flesh and blood bursting forth, as the two long swords turned into bubbles, and the two guards bizarrely shattered into two masses of flesh, staining the ground scarlet and bloody.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Xuan acted as if he had done sothing casual, strolling into the Xiao Residence without a glance at the two piles of flesh on the ground.
“Hiss!”
A single disagreent leading to murder, the uncle and nephew gasped, their bodies shaking intensely.
The two exchanged glances, worry etched in their eyes, but having reached this point, it was too late to turn back. They could only follow Ye Xuan quickly into the Xiao Family.
Inside the Xiao Residence.
Ye Xuan walked with his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery within, while the uncle and nephew, faces clouded with worry, led the way in silence.
“Yun… Xuanmo, once the senior has healed your mother, you should leave with him and never return,” Xiao Changhe sent a secret ssage to the boy, his face heavy with an extre gravity.
