Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1778 - 1728: The Jia Family’s Doomsday

Xuanyuan Tianpeng looked utterly dejected.

Looking at the completely empty Xuanyuan Pavilion, it was bustling with noise and packed just moments ago.

Now, it was completely deserted.

This happened in just a matter of dozens of breaths.

Such a huge disparity was hard for him to accept.

"Third Elder, do you think... should we still proceed with the auction as all the guests have left?" a Heaven Venerate Realm expert from the Xuanyuan Clan tentatively asked.

There was only half an incense worth of time left before the auction was supposed to start.

Thinking back on tens of thousands of years.

When has the auction at Xuanyuan Pavilion ever been delayed?

Not even once!

But now...

This record of shame was likely to be born under his watch.

"No way, I absolutely cannot let the auction be delayed..." Xuanyuan Tianpeng gritted his teeth fiercely.

He coldly glanced at the Heaven Venerate Realm expert and said in a deep voice, "Continue, why not continue?" Pausing, he looked at the empty auction hall and said in a deep voice, "Immediately follow me outside to invite the guests back!"

"..."

The Heaven Venerate Realm expert opened his mouth, wanting to say that the guests were unlikely to return.

But upon seeing Xuanyuan Tianpeng’s face as dark as coal, he could only grit his teeth and swallow back his words, following closely behind Xuanyuan Tianpeng as they headed outside Xuanyuan Pavilion.

A moment later.

They arrived outside Xuanyuan Pavilion.

At this moment.

The area around the platform was already packed with people.

Qin Hongtu, the head of the Qin Family, was beaming, his Qi-Blood surging like a rainbow, as he respectfully saluted Xiao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the platform, "Thank you for your guidance, benefactor. If there’s ever anything you need from Qin, just say the word, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Below the platform.

Someone urged, "Master Qin, please come down quickly, we’re all waiting!"

"Yes, we all are eager to challenge the benefactor!"

"Come down quickly!"

Qin Hongtu gave an embarrassed smile, saluted Xiao Yi once more, and then stepped down from the platform.

But he wasn’t in a hurry to return to Xuanyuan Pavilion.

Since he had already broken through the realm shackles that had trapped him for a thousand years, and the auction happens once in a century anyway, there was no rush to go inside.

Didn’t you see Li Changsheng and several other strong individuals who also benefited and broke through their cultivation realms standing by the platform?

Xiao Yi didn’t make any demands of them.

But having cultivated to such a realm, who among them would be a fool?

They naturally understood the reason Xiao Yi set up the platform.

Wasn’t it just to give face to Xuanyuan Pavilion?

Now that they had just gained immense benefits from Xiao Yi, how could they possibly turn around and ally with the enemy?

And thus...

As more and more people flocked to the challenge,

one after another also succeeded in breaking through their realms.

Even those who had just broken through their cultivation realms with no bottleneck still received pointers and improvements in other areas.

Some were stuck in alchemy bottlenecks, but Xiao Yi’s casual advice enlightened them.

Some couldn’t grasp martial techniques and secret techniques until Xiao Yi’s guidance suddenly made everything click.

Others had long been perplexed by Formation mysteries, and Xiao Yi revealed the secrets with a word.

In the eyes of the crowd, Xiao Yi at this moment seemed like a deity.

Incomparably high and mighty.

Mysterious beyond measure.

Even more importantly...

In martial arts, alchemy, formations, martial techniques, and secret techniques, Xiao Yi excelled at them all.

With just a few casual words, he dismantled the obstacles that troubled them alive.

Such methods.

Could be called divine intervention!

Even Xuanyuan Tianpeng, who had just arrived outside Xuanyuan Pavilion and witnessed just three or five people rapidly progressing under Xiao Yi’s guidance, was astounded. His eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at the figure in the center of the platform, "Can such a terrifying existence truly exist in the world? It seems there is nothing in the world he does not know..."

As he spoke,

a Peak of Heaven Venerate Realm expert spoke, "Indeed, he is truly terrifying, like a deity!"

"Yes!"

Xuanyuan Tianpeng instinctively nodded, then suddenly fixed his gaze, incredulously looking at the person who interrupted him, "You, you, you..."

Xuanyuan Tianpeng was so shocked he couldn’t speak.

This person was Xuanyuan Ming’en, who was one of the Heaven Venerate Realm experts guarding Xuanyuan Pavilion’s gate earlier.

But Xuanyuan Tianpeng clearly remembered that this person was merely at the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Venerate Realm earlier.

Now how had he reached the Peak of Heaven Venerate Realm?

Xuanyuan Ming’en also realized this, awkwardly, "Third, Third Elder, I just thought to test his authenticity, so I went up to the platform, but I didn’t expect..."

Xuanyuan Tianpeng was furious, seething with rage.

Yet he didn’t know how to express it.

Cultivation is not easy.

When someone spots an opportunity for a breakthrough, would you have him miss it with open eyes?

Moreover...

Indeed, he had stepped from the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Venerate Realm directly to the Peak of Heaven Venerate Realm under Xiao Yi’s guidance!

On the other side.

The other Heaven Venerate Realm expert who had also been guarding the Xuanyuan Pavilion entrance alongside Xuanyuan Ming’en was beating his chest in regret, full of remorse, "No wonder you had me go in to announce first; you devious person..."

Xuanyuan Ming’en’s face was awkward. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

But the other person, no longer concerned with anything else, sprinted directly toward the platform.

One after another, experts ascended the platform.

They were not seeking to challenge but rather stepping up one by one, asking for guidance and then not even engaging Xiao Yi but instead practicing on the side and then conceding automatically.

Xiao Yi would then offer guidance based on their exposed cultivation issues during practice.

Everyone came away treasured as if they had acquired a priceless treasure.

Until Jia Sidao appeared...

With embarrassment on his face, Jia Sidao smiled at Xiao Yi, "Please, please offer your guidance..."

Xiao Yi glanced at him, "Scram!"

"You..."

Jia Sidao’s face turned pale with anger, clenching his teeth as he said, "You said anyone could challenge, why can’t I?"

Xiao Yi said playfully, "Are you sure you want to challenge? Don’t forget, there’s no rule on the platform that says you can’t kill..."

Dark fire danced on his fingertips.

"..."

Jia Sidao looked utterly hopeless, deeply unwilling yet having no choice but to jump off the platform.

In the crowd.

Li Changsheng stroked his chin, "It seems like Jia Sidao has some unresolved issues with the benefactor?"

Qin Hongtu said, "I think I heard that Jia Sidao and his son deliberately made things difficult for the benefactor. It seems my Qin Family will have to sever all ties with the Jia Family going forward!"

"And me!"

"Me too..."

"The Jia Family? Let it be erased from Xuanyuan City altogether!"

In the crowd.

The father and son of the Jia Family heard the words of the people and instantly turned ashen-faced. The Qin Family’s power was already a notch above theirs, not to mention Li Changsheng and other key figures. With all these individuals simultaneously targeting the Jia Family, their demise seemed unavoidable!

The father and son’s desperate eyes turned towards Xuanyuan Tianpeng standing at Xuanyuan Pavilion’s entrance; he was their last shred of hope.

However...

Just as the father and son were about to ask Xuanyuan Tianpeng for help.

They heard Xuanyuan Tianpeng coldly say, "The Jia Family has sowed discord, causing a great misunderstanding between Xuanyuan Pavilion and the distinguished guest. On behalf of the Xuanyuan Clan, I hereby declare that we will exert full pressure on the Jia Family, with no room for reconciliation..."

At these words.

The father and son of the Jia Family collapsed hopelessly to the ground, fainting on the spot.

They could have never imagined that merely having a rude word with Xiao Yi would invite an apocalyptic storm of destruction upon their family...

In contrast, Xuanyuan Tianpeng appeared tranquil, naturally doing this to ingratiate himself with Xiao Yi.

He hoped to ease the conflict between himself and Xiao Yi by sacrificing the Jia Family.

However...

Faced with Xuanyuan Tianpeng’s olive branch, Xiao Yi only slightly lifted the corner of his mouth in a cold smile and said, "Don’t forget what I said; if you want to appease my anger, come to me with three kneels and nine kowtows!"
