Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Kill! [8th Update]
Tang Shiren had his clan members contact them last night, and these three people arrived at the Tang Family early this morning to understand the situation.
“What exactly happened?” Tang Guzhen knew Tang Shiren well and knew that he would only be so anxious to find them if something that could not be resolved had occurred.
Tang Shiren recounted the events of the previous night, and after listening, the three people reacted differently.
Catherine smiled indifferently and said, “Family Head Tang, you are too timid. A young person has scared you to this extent, this is not the demeanor a family head should have.”
“Hmph, the cultivators of today really do not understand the rules, daring to interfere in the affairs of the secular world. It truly is getting more and more unruly.” Tang Guzhen slapped the table somewhat angrily and said, “The cultivator representative of Jindu City has really been neglectful recently, not managing such matters. Do they truly have to wait for an incident to occur before they make a statement?”
Every city has a cultivator representative.
...
Just like Ling City, whose former representative was Yun Feiyang. And after Yun Feiyang was killed by Li Xiaoyao, the representative became Li Xiaoyao.
Each city’s representative may not have the strongest cultivation level, but they are definitely ranked within the top three and possess extremely abundant resources. With one command, they can easily mobilize hundreds of cultivators.
Thus, few people are willing to offend a city representative. Of course, someone like Li Xiaoyao who does not abide by any rules is an exception.
Tang Yuan, who had not yet spoken, tapped the table lightly and said, “This Li Xiaoyao, is he the one who killed Yang Tianren?”
Tang Shiren nodded and said, “That’s him.”
“No wonder then.” Tang Yuan smiled and said, “The old man has heard of this youngster. Young and already possessing quite remarkable cultivation. However, strong cultivation is just that; Yang Tianren was only at the Abstinence Realm, and killing him doesn’t prove anything.”
“A kid from the Abstinence Realm?” Tang Guzhen scoffed, looking at Tang Shiren, “Old Tang, you’re really getting more timid the older you get, a mere Abstinence Realm cultivator has scared you to this degree.”
“Enough, let’s not talk about this.” Tang Yuan spoke in a steady tone, “The clan leader is busy with family affairs on a daily basis and does not interfere with cultivator issues. Even if it’s just a youngster who has just stepped into the Spirit Cultivation Realm, he can still pose a threat to the clan leader. This is indeed our oversight. Once we deal with Li Xiaoyao today, we need to arrange for a few cultivators to protect the clan leader at all times.”
A clan member approached Tang Shiren and whispered, “Clan Leader, Li Xiaoyao has arrived.”
“Let him in.” Tang Shiren straightened his collar and looked at Tang Yuan, “We will have to trouble the three of you shortly.”
“You and I are from the same clan, there’s no trouble to speak of.” Tang Yuan’s eyes were slightly closed, clearly not taking this matter to heart.
After pondering for a few seconds, Tang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tang Guzhen, asking, “Old Fourth, any news about the Hui Country Secret Realm recently?”
“Nothing so far. Big Brother and Second Brother have already gone there; if there is any news, they will notify us immediately.”
Catherine seemed more interested in this topic and asked, “Great Elder, did you leave the country this time to find that Hui Country Secret Realm?”
“Not to find it, but to confirm its location.”
“So, the news about the Hui Country Secret Realm is indeed true?” Catherine’s tone was somewhat excited.
“Of course, it’s true. However, the news about the Hui Country Secret Realm has long been out, and the major powers of Xuan Country have already rushed over. It will not be easy to gain benefits from it.”
“Thump, thump…”
As the sound of footsteps arose, two figures appeared within everyone’s view.
“Eh, only at the Spirit Cultivation Realm?”
“How could someone with such a weak cultivation level have killed Yang Tianren? Could it be, as the rumors say, that he possesses a magical talisman?”
After alighting from his carriage, Li Xiaoyao immediately sensed the presence of these three people through his thoughts, three cultivators in the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
Indeed, the Tang Family was strong, and cultivators in the Spirit Cultivation realm were rare even among their circles. But Tang Shiren had managed to gather three of them in just one night.
Unfortunately, Tang Shiren didn’t realize that even if he had asked for the help of cultivators from the Golden Core Realm, they would still not be able to contend with Li Xiaoyao.
Xiao Ya’s cultivation level was very weak, but she could still feel a frightening aura emanating from the two men and one woman beside Tang Shiren, an aura that made her soul tremble.
Tang Shiren had not prepared seats for the two, and Li Xiaoyao’s face creased with a faint smile as he said, “The share transfer procedures can begin now.”
“Heh, Mr. Li certainly has a sense of humor,” Tang Shiren shook his head and said, “Today, I called you here to have you transfer all of the Xiao Family’s assets to my Tang Family. Of course, you may refuse, but the consequences of refusal, I fear, are something you cannot handle.”
“It seems the Tang Family Head is quite confident,” Li Xiaoyao remarked without anger, his gaze sweeping over the three individuals. “You indeed have some strength, but it’s still too weak.”
“As arrogant as the rumors say.” Tang Guzhen lightly slapped his palm on the armrest of his chair and shouted, “You brat, hand over the Storage Ring, and I will leave you a whole corpse.”
Li Xiaoyao’s chilly eyes flashed with a murderous look as he turned towards Tang Shiren and grinned, “Today, I will make your Tang Family submit to me.”
Tang Yuan furrowed his brows, displeased by Li Xiaoyao’s arrogance, and immediately reprimanded, “You, the fourth one, kill him.”

“Is a minor Qi Refinement Realm lad worthy of my action?” Tang Guzhen seemed to disdain the very notion as he shook his head and slowly stood up, casually lifting his hand and sending a surge of vigor straight toward Li Xiaoyao.
“Pfft~”
The burst of vigor hit the air three feet in front of Li Xiaoyao and suddenly dissipated into spiritual energy, disappearing into the atmosphere. This eerie occurrence surprised everyone present.
“Hmm, he does have some tricks up his sleeve.” Tang Guzhen became somewhat interested. With a swift movement of his feet, his body turned into afterimages darting toward Li Xiaoyao, his right palm breaking through the limitations of space, bringing about a fierce gust of wind, and reaching out to grasp Li Xiaoyao’s neck with both force and precision.
To the others, this strike spelled certain death for Li Xiaoyao.
“Die!” Tang Guzhen shouted as his palm was about to clutch Li Xiaoyao’s throat. All he would need then was a slight exertion of strength to crush his neck into fragments of bone and gristle.
The idea was a beautiful one, but reality was cruel.
A hand as translucent as jade reached out faster than his, grabbing hold of his wrist. Tang Guzhen felt as if his wrist had been clamped by iron pincers, completely unable to exert any strength.
“Presumptuous words of taking my life from a mere cultivator in the Spirit Cultivation Realm?” Li Xiaoyao’s voice, cold and detached, rose next to his ear. The next moment, his hand tightened slightly, and the sound of breaking bones “crack crack” echoed.
“Ah!” The intense pain made Tang Guzhen scream.
Li Xiaoyao’s knee shot out fiercely, generating a hurricane that kicked Tang Guzhen high into the sky.
“Buzz~”
The Seven Star Ancient Sword unsheathed with a “swoosh”!
The Ancient Sword, light and agile, sliced through the void, and with one strike, Tang Guzhen, high in the sky, was severed at the waist. His head plummeted to the ground, landing at the feet of Tang Shiren, causing his body to shake violently.
