Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 140 The Xiao Family's Upheaval, The White Tiger's Spirit Descends

Rewind to half an hour earlier.

Gama Empire - Utan City.

In recent years, the Xiao family has developed rapidly, not only establishing a close relationship with the Mittel Auction House, but also seemingly having an unclear connection with the Blood Moon Tower, the underground king of several surrounding cities.

Over the years, the three parties have secretly joined forces and developed their influence, which has now covered several major cities in the surrounding area, gradually growing into a dominant force in these cities near the edge of the Monster Mountain Range.

of course,

Much of the credit goes to Xiao Yue for sending letters to Wutan City from time to time.

While sending the letter, she also had some medicinal pills that would help with cultivation sent to the Xiao family. She personally selected the delivery person, so there were no unexpected incidents during the process.

After all, he had so many pills that he couldn't use them all, so he sent them home.

As the head of the family, Xiao Zhan naturally had his own way of distributing these pills. People cannot always expect to gain without working for them; otherwise, their hearts will eventually run into problems. Xiao's father had been in power for so many years, so he naturally understood this principle.

Therefore, under the new reward and punishment system reformed by Xiao's father in recent years, the Xiao family has been thriving and its overall strength has also risen to a higher level. With the influx of resources, he himself has also broken through to the Dou Ling realm.

However, as the team grew, the workload naturally became more demanding. Today, Mr. Xiao took some rare time to spend with his beloved wife.

At this moment, in the vast courtyard of the Xiao family mansion, Mr. Xiao, who rarely had any free time today, accompanied his wife to admire the flowers in the pavilion by the riverbank.

A gentle spring breeze caressed their faces, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The couple sat in the pavilion, sipping tea, sometimes whispering to each other, sometimes smiling at each other, enjoying the rare moment of tranquility.

"Come to think of it, today should be the day Yan'er goes up Yunlan Mountain. I wonder how he's been lately. I hope the relationship between the two families won't get too strained," Father Xiao sighed softly.

Madam Xiao nodded silently upon hearing this, still feeling a little guilty, so she didn't say anything.

"The letter Xiaoyue sent a few days ago has arrived. She also sent back some pills. I heard that she has now arrived at Canaan Academy and has become a Heavenly Rank Instructor. Her future is limitless." Seeing that she still seemed a little down about this matter, Xiao's father changed the subject and said this.

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother's mood improved considerably, and she took the opportunity to ask.

And at this moment,
A strange laugh suddenly echoed through the once tranquil courtyard.

"Hehehe~ Is this the Xiao family?"

"Hehe, they seem so weak. Why didn't they just send a few low-level Soul Envoys? There's no need for us to take action. The Protector is really cautious!"

As the sound fell,

A dozen or so dark figures suddenly leaped out from all directions of Wutan City and instantly floated above the Xiao Mansion. They were all dressed in black robes, wore ferocious masks, and exuded a sinister aura.

The couple's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately realized that these uninvited guests had ill intentions.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Xiao residence!" Father Xiao shouted sternly. He stepped forward to protect his wife behind him, while secretly mobilizing his internal fighting spirit, ready to strike at any moment.

however,
The men in black seemed to ignore Xiao's father's warning and instead began to mock him.

"The Xiao family? Hmph, after today, the Xiao family will cease to exist in this world!" a man in black robes sneered.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly launched an attack, and a sharp, sinister iron chain whistled towards Xiao's father and wife.

"It's you!! I didn't expect you to come knocking on my door again!" Upon seeing the iron chains shrouded in black mist, Xiao Zhan seemed to remember something. His expression changed slightly, and a surge of mad hatred and killing intent welled up in his heart.

then,

Xiao's father's metal-elemental battle qi erupted instantly, and the Xuan-rank technique, Mad Lion's Fury, was activated to its limit, forming a golden lion shield in front of him, roaring as it met the iron chains.

"Oh!"

Xiao's father was knocked away.

These people were almost all at the level of a Battle King, and he simply couldn't contend with them.

"Brother Zhan!"

Madam Xiao covered her red lips and exclaimed in surprise. She tried to run over to help her father up, but he pushed her away.

"Iron Guard, take the lady and leave first!"

"That's what Mr. Xiao said in a hoarse voice."

A dozen lithe black figures suddenly darted out of the courtyard, their strength ranging from Dou Shi to Great Dou Shi. They were the armed forces that Xiao's father had secretly cultivated over the years.

"Yes!"

More than a dozen guards responded in unison and quickly surrounded Madam Xiao, preparing to break through the encirclement.

However, the black-robed figures in the sky merely smiled coldly, showing no intention of stopping them.

"Hmph, trying to run? None of you will escape!"

The leader of the black-robed men gave a sinister smile and swung his hand sharply again.

"Wow——!"

Suddenly, several thicker iron chains shot out from all directions, piercing through the bodies of several guards in a single exchange and pinning them to the ground.

Screams echoed all around. Madam Xiao's face was deathly pale. Lacking any cultivation, she could only helplessly watch as her guards died one after another.

"Enemy attack!"

The Xiao family guards who rushed over were horrified when they saw this scene!
The vast Xiao mansion was now in complete chaos.

The usual tranquility was shattered as figures emerged from all parts of the Xiao residence. They were all members of the Xiao family and their guards, armed with weapons and looking warily at the black-robed figures shrouded in a thick black mist in the sky.

"Quickly, protect the lady and the head of the family!"

A guard captain shouted loudly, and he quickly directed everyone to form a defensive formation, protecting Xiao's father and mother in the middle.

However, the men in black robes seemed to disregard them, continuing to launch attacks with cold smiles.

Eerie iron chains flew through the air, leaving a trail of blood and carnage in their wake.

"what--!"

A young member of the Xiao family had his body pierced by iron chains. He let out a shrill scream and then fell heavily to the ground. Seeing this, Xiao's father and mother were heartbroken.

"Xiao Yi, you take the younger members and women of the clan and retreat first. Elders, stay behind with me to cover the rear!" Xiao's father took a deep breath and commanded in a deep voice.

He then took out a strange, round, blood-red pill, a resolute glint in his eyes. This was left to him by Old Master Xiao, and it was his greatest trump card. The old master had said that it should not be taken unless there was a crisis of extinction for the clan!

However, at this moment, the Xiao family mansion was already a river of blood. If he did not take action, the entire Xiao family would be destroyed.

Without much hesitation, a fierce glint flashed in Xiao's father's eyes as he tilted his head back and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

As soon as the pill entered his body, Xiao's father's aura surged instantly, and a powerful energy surged within him. In a short moment, his cultivation level broke through from the initial stage of Dou Ling to the advanced stage of Dou Wang!
"This is……?"

The black-robed man in the sky was slightly surprised to see this. From a low-level Dou Ling to a high-level Dou Wang, there was probably no secret technique in the world that could achieve such an effect.

"Life-Devouring Pill? Hmph, so what? With such a fragile cultivation level, it's just a death throes. If Xiao Lin, who was only a half-step Dou Huang back then, were here, it would be more like it!" The black-robed leader sneered, clearly not afraid of Xiao's father's breakthrough.

He swung the iron chain in his hand again, and a black mist chain, even thicker than before, roared out, heading straight for Xiao's father's head.

A resolute glint flashed in Xiao's father's eyes. His fighting spirit surged wildly within him, and he raised his hand to condense a golden lion-shaped seal several meters in size, which he then smashed fiercely towards the iron chain.

"Boom—!" The two collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

The black-robed man at the head of the group staggered back a few steps, while Xiao's father was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a wall, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not back down at all. He struggled to his feet and continued to charge towards the men in black robes.

"Brother Zhan!"

Madam Xiao cried out and tried to rush over, but was stopped by a guard.

"Madam, you can't go there, it's too dangerous!" the guard beside her said in a deep voice.

At this moment, the Xiao family members fought back with all their might, but the huge difference in strength made them unable to withstand the black-robed man's attack.

Many people have already fallen in pools of blood!
"Something's happened to the Xiao family!"

The various factions in Wutan City were not blind; upon seeing the large patch of black mist and dark clouds enveloping the Xiao residence, they were all filled with fear and panic.

Upon seeing this, Master Nico of the Mittel Auction House's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and uncertainty. Then, he raised his sword, gritted his teeth, and said, "Guards, come with me!"

...

at this time,

Above the vast Xiao mansion,
Xiao's father had already led a group of elders into battle against the men in black robes.

Although his cultivation had improved, he still seemed somewhat powerless against those powerful black-robed figures.

"go!"

The guard knocked Madam Xiao unconscious with a single blow and then tried to retreat, but some black-robed figures still swooped down from the sky.

but,

Just as the man in black robes was about to approach, the Soul Envoy's expression changed, and he quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding a blood-red spear that was hurtling towards him.

"Cover the Xiao family members' evacuation!"

A graceful, blood-red figure flashed across the sky above the Xiao residence, and she coldly shouted.

At Canyue's command, dozens of figures shrouded in blood robes leaped up from the high walls surrounding the Xiao residence. Blood mist filled the air, and their imposing aura was like that of the messengers of death, blocking the way for the Soul Palace envoys.

Then Nicol arrived in a hurry with his men.

"This tiny Wutan City has quite a few ants!" the Soul Hall envoy sneered.

With a swift movement of his hands, he opened and closed his palms, forming a hand seal in a lightning-fast motion. He then gave a low shout, and a large swath of black mist suddenly appeared in front of him. With a wave of his hand, the black mist swept across the sky and shot towards the Blood Guards in front of him, instantly turning several of them into nothingness.

"Zheng——!"

Seeing this, Canyue's eyes grew even colder and angrier. She grabbed the sharp, blood-red spear and swung it in the air, unleashing a fierce and incomparable red mist of killing intent as she charged towards the black-robed man.

"Oh!"

A powerful surge of dark battle aura suddenly erupted from the man in black robes, forming a massive black mist whirlwind that even lifted the blue bricks within dozens of meters of the courtyard.

After a fierce battle, Canyue coughed up blood and retreated.

...

"Please, Your Majesty, descend to guide my soul!"

The crescent moon retreated to a rockery. Looking at the devastation around her, she took a deep breath, then slowly closed her eyes and began to form hand seals. Instantly, the surrounding blood mist surged into her body.

"Hehe~ Your soul, you ant, is rather strange. I'll capture you and study you properly!" The black-robed man chuckled coldly, then reached out a withered, ghostly hand to grab at the crescent moon.

But at this moment,
Canyue's aura suddenly changed, and then a vast aura surged into the sky!

"Shh!"

'Crescent Moon' opened her eyes, and her pupils changed, turning into a noble blood color!
Those cold and merciless eyes sent a chill down the spine of the approaching Soul Palace envoy. It was as if, under the gaze of those blood-red eyes, even heaven and earth bowed to that cold indifference!
"Buzz!"

The Soul Palace envoy was instantly immobilized, while 'Crescent Moon' reached out her jade hand and directly clamped it around the neck, crushing its soul on the spot!
After Xiao Yue's spirit descended, it temporarily took over Can Yue's body. She looked around and, seeing the current miserable state of the Xiao family, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"Now, who is the ant?"

Xiao Yue's voice was extremely cold, and this time she made no attempt to hide her killing intent.

She slightly raised her hand, and the surrounding blood mist surged, as if it had been given life, slowly gathering in her palm to form dozens of blood-red iron chains.

"Zheng——!"

The blood chains, like long snakes slicing through the air, shot straight towards the black-robed figures with a sharp whooshing sound. Instantly, blood mist filled the air, enveloping all the Soul Palace envoys within it.

The men in black robes were horrified; they finally understood what fear was.

"Zizzi-"

Countless blood chains bound them tightly, and the sounds of hot irons emanating from the chains caused the Soul Palace envoys to scream and wail in agony. Clearly, the black-robed men were being subjected to inhuman torture.

"Who...who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Soul Palace!" The leader of the black-robed men raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Xiao Yue.

You don't need to know so much!

Xiao Yue was too lazy to waste words with him.

As she spoke, she flashed and appeared in front of the man in black robes, slapping his head hard and instantly obliterating his soul.

Seeing this, the other men in black robes were terrified and tried to run away, but Xiao Yue gave them no chance. She flashed around, and every time she appeared, one of the men in black robes was killed instantly.

quickly,

She killed all the men in black robes, and the Xiao mansion returned to peace once more.

Everyone in the Xiao family was stunned by this sudden turn of events!
The situation reversed too quickly!
Those Soul Hall envoys who were just swaggering around the Xiao family are now like clay chickens and earthen dogs, being slapped one by one as easily as swatting mosquitoes, all of them were killed on the spot!

The entire reversal took only a few dozen breaths! The entire attacking Soul Palace envoy was annihilated by a single avatar descended by Xiao Yue!

"Yue... Yue'er?"

Blood trickled from the corner of Xiao's father's mouth. He was pale as he clutched his chest and said something uncertainly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue slowly turned around and looked at her father, her cold, blood-red pupils gradually returning to normal.

"Dad, what's going on?"

After everything was settled, Xiao Yue stepped forward to help him up and then asked.

The Xiao family was doing well in Wutan City, so how did they get involved with the Soul Hall? Could it be because of her?

“Those people must have come for that thing. Your grandfather died at their hands back then,” Xiao’s father sighed.

Xiao Yue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Before she could ask for the specific reasons, Xiao's father suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, "Oh no! Yan'er is still in the capital. They must have people there too. The Xiao family has been exposed, and Yan'er is probably being watched as well!"
