Chapter 1175 1176: The Weak Make the Strong Apologize
Shock.
Fear.
Despair.
In an instant, the minds of everyone in the Xiao Family were filled with these emotions. Xiao Tianyu really did kill Mu Xie, ignoring Mu Xie's background. He could choose to leave, but what about the Xiao Family? Could they truly pick up and move the entire clan?
Moreover, the Xiao Family has hundreds of members; even if they moved the whole clan, the commotion would be too great. There's no way to escape the eyes and ears of the City Lord, and besides, many outsiders are watching what happens today.
One could say that for the Xiao Family, the only option now is to bury Mu Xie with them.
Of course, outside the Xiao Family, the onlookers witnessed a huge upheaval in their hearts. The son of the City Lord of Mountain and Sea City came today for a wedding proposal to Xiao Xin. He would never have dreamed of dying here, along with everyone he brought.
Recall that just a moment ago, Mu Xie was so arrogant, offering Xiao Tianyu endless cultivation resources if he followed him. At that time, everyone thought this was Xiao Tianyu's great fortune.
Yet Xiao Tianyu straightforwardly refused.
Then Mu Xie claimed he would teach Xiao Tianyu what reverence, fear, and despair meant. But now? The one in despair turned out to be Mu Xie, and he died here.
Mountain and Sea City is about to change drastically, and the reason is that Xiao Tianyu killed the son of the City Lord.
"You killed Mu Xie; you must go to the Mu Family and beg for forgiveness!" At this moment, the ancestor of the Xiao Family couldn't help but shout. Even if Xiao Tianyu went to beg forgiveness, it might not save the Xiao Family, but for the Xiao Family, it's their only hope.
Only if Xiao Tianyu is willing to beg forgiveness, does the Xiao Family have a slim chance of survival.
But is someone as strong as Xiao Tianyu going to listen to the arrangements of the Xiao Family Ancestor?
"Ancestor, what are you saying?" Xiao Xin shouted, "Brother Xiao saved me…"
"Shut up!" the Third Elder coldly shouted, "If it weren't for you, would the Xiao Family be facing this situation? Now Mu Xie is dead, and the entire Xiao Family will be implicated because of you. I think you should be sent to the Mu Family for them to handle!"
The Third Elder didn't dare say to send Xiao Tianyu away, because Xiao Tianyu's cultivation was higher than his own.
"Enough!" Xiao Zhenshan snorted coldly, "For now, I'm still the Clan Leader of the Xiao Family. Anyone who dares to send away my granddaughter will have to deal with me first!"
After speaking, Xiao Zhenshan exuded a sharp aura. Things have reached such a point that he has no choice. He can't bear to send Xiao Xin to her death, for she is his granddaughter whom he raised.
And at this moment, Xiao Tianyu's icy gaze turned toward the Xiao Family Ancestor and said, "What did you say, telling me to go to the Mu Family and beg for forgiveness?"
Upon hearing this, the Xiao Family Ancestor's body trembled suddenly. He was clearly frightened by Xiao Tianyu's words. If Xiao Tianyu lifted a hand to kill him, it would be his bad luck. Yet he still spoke, "Mu Xie is dead now; shouldn't you do this?"
"I killed Mu Xie; what does it have to do with the Xiao Family? Why should I beg for forgiveness? Do you have the right?"
Smack~
As the words fell, the Xiao Family Ancestor was directly slapped away by Xiao Tianyu, spewing blood wildly, even losing two teeth. His body was thrown back three meters before hitting a stone pillar and falling to the ground.
Wow~
Xiao Tianyu stretched out his large hand, directly gripping the throat of the Xiao Family Elder, and coldly said, "Say it again?"
Would Xiao Tianyu listen to the manipulation of the Xiao Family Ancestor and go beg for forgiveness?
These words, you might say, left everyone in the Xiao Family, except Xiao Zhenshan, Xiao Xin, and Xiao Feng, with a pale complexion. Who in the Xiao Family had enough strength, enough qualification, for Xiao Tianyu to beg for forgiveness?
Now, with the Xiao Family Ancestor's throat in Xiao Tianyu's grip, he felt utter despair. He, too, was afraid of being killed by the Mu family's people and courageously had told Xiao Tianyu to beg for forgiveness.
Little did he know, Xiao Tianyu was a hundred times more terrifying than the Mu Family.
Weak, asking the strong to beg for forgiveness—how laughable.
"You…" The Xiao Family Ancestor despaired.
"If you want to die, I can fulfill that wish right now!" Xiao Tianyu's eyes revealed killing intent, and Xiao Xin stepped forward, pleading with Xiao Tianyu, "Brother Xiao, can you spare him?"
After all, the person in Xiao Tianyu's grip was the Xiao Family Ancestor. Xiao Xin, inherently kind-hearted, naturally didn't want to see the ancestor killed by Xiao Tianyu, while the other Xiao family members dared not make a sound.
"Fine!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, loosening his grip, allowing the ancestor to fall to the ground, not even sparing him a glance, showing disdain, a disdain from Xiao Tianyu.
"Tianyu!" At this moment, Xiao Zhenshan addressed Xiao Tianyu, "Before the Mu family realizes Mu Xie is dead, quickly leave the Xiao Family. Take Xiao Xin and Xiao Feng!"
Let Xiao Tianyu leave?
The other members of the Xiao Family fixed their gazes on Xiao Zhenshan, though angry, they did not dare voice their objections.
"I'm not leaving!" Xiao Feng and Xiao Xin spoke together, "We want to live and die with Grandpa!"
After speaking, Xiao Xin looked at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes and continued, "Brother Xiao, listen to my grandpa, go now. The strength of the Mu family is beyond your measure. If there is a next life, I'd still recognize Brother Xiao!"
"Master, my sister is right. You have no relation to the Xiao Family. Now, having killed Mu Xie for my sister, you've been dragged into this…"
"You still call me Master!" Xiao Tianyu interrupted Xiao Feng, tapping his head and saying, "If a master can't protect his disciple, what kind of master would that be, robbing me of dignity?"
"…" With these words, Xiao Xin was speechless, thinking, at such a critical moment, does this guy genuinely have the mood to joke? Does he really want to die here?
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Xin, you two urgently leave with Tianyu; this is my order!" Xiao Zhenshan coldly shouted to the siblings, "Go quickly, or it will be too late!"
"I'm not leaving; this is my fault, and if I leave, what about the Xiao Family?" Xiao Xin showed stubbornness, willing to sacrifice herself, while Xiao Zhenshan shouted, "Do you think your death will save the Xiao Family? Don't be naive; go!"
"No!" Xiao Xin shook her head, and Xiao Zhenshan turned to Xiao Tianyu, "Please look after these two hopeless children in the future, I beg you!"
"I never said I was going to leave!" Xiao Tianyu calmly replied, unwilling to go without resolving the Xiao Family's crisis. Although he's indifferent to the lives of the Xiao Family members, he wouldn't disregard Xiao Xin and Xiao Feng.
Moreover, Xiao Feng is his disciple.
"This…" Xiao Zhenshan was troubled.
"Clan Leader, since Master Xiao isn't willing to leave, let him stay with the Xiao Family!" the Third Elder spoke. Xiao Zhenshan understood the Third Elder's intentions—when the Mu family arrives, the Third Elder would be the first to give up Xiao Tianyu.
The Third Elder's motives were malicious.
