Chapter 239 Strong
An old man stepped forward, looking furious, and said, "Xiao Jihan, how dare you come back? The patriarch was killed because of your anger."

This man was the second elder of a collateral branch of the Xiao family. These collateral branches usually depended on the Xiao family for survival, but now they have changed their tune.

Xiao Jihan exuded a cold and icy aura. "I caused my grandmother's death by anger. The Second Elder really dares to say that."

Just then, a female stepped forward and said, "Xiao Jihan, how dare you speak to the Second Elder like that?"

"Your grandmother expelled you from the family before she died, so you are no longer a beastman of the Xiao family."

This person is Xiao Tongtong, the younger sister of Xiao Jihan's second uncle.

The second elder said, "That's right, from now on Xiao Tongtong will be the head of the Xiao family."

“Xiao Jihan, if you know what’s good for you, leave. Your grandmother used to love you dearly. Now that she’s dead, do you really want to disturb her peace and make her uneasy?”

Seeing Xiao Jihan's tense body, Su Muyao scoffed, "Why waste time talking nonsense with them? Finding Grandmother is the priority."

As she spoke, Su Muyao activated her supernatural power, and with a fierce flick of her sleeve, countless vines shot towards the people on the roof like hidden weapons, directly tearing away the ambushing guards.

As she worked, Su Muyao pulled Xiao Jihan inside.

This scene shocked everyone in the Xiao family.

"Level 9... Level 9 superpower?"

The second elder staggered back a step, thinking that his level eight strength was strong enough to suppress all sounds.

Including Xiao Jihan.

Even if Xiao Jihan had high talent, he was only at level three.

His wife was an infamous, powerless, and vicious female beast who didn't even have any talent for mental power, making it impossible for her to provide mental comfort to males.

More than two months ago, the Xiao family learned that Su Muyao had been pardoned and would soon be returning to the Beast Emperor City with her beastmen.

They were worried that things might change if they delayed, so they brought the plan forward.

Unexpectedly, after returning to Beast Emperor City, Su Muyao immediately sent a visiting card to the Xiao family, expressing her desire to pay them a visit.

However, they secretly disposed of the visiting card, and the old lady remained unaware of it while in a long coma.

At that time, the old lady was already failing, and they were afraid that something might happen, so they did something drastic.

So the old lady died.

They can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Who would have thought that Xiao Jihan would appear just as the old lady died and was placed in the coffin that had been prepared.

Fortunately, they were prepared and arranged for skilled guards to surround and kill them.

These guards were all at level five or six, more than capable of dealing with Xiao Jihan.

Unexpectedly, not only Xiao Jihan came, but his wife Su Muyao also came.

Several males followed behind them, their appearances and demeanors exuding nobility, reminding the Xiao family members of Su Muyao's several beast husbands.

Isn't it rumored that Su Muyao is ugly and therefore not loved by her beast husband?

The Xiao family has been keeping the news under wraps for the past few days, focusing on internal power struggles for the family headship, and has not noticed the sensational news caused by Su Muyao's return to the Beast Emperor City a few days ago.

In addition, Xiaozhou is some distance away from Beast Emperor City, and the Xiao family is not in Beast Emperor City, so the Xiao family did not know about Su Muyao's crushing defeat of a level 5 expert.

Even so, Su Muyao's appearance and temperament still amazed everyone in the Xiao family.

“Miss Su, this is a matter for the Xiao family. Don’t you dislike Xiao Jihan? Why are you meddling in the Xiao family’s affairs?”

With a flick of her supernatural power, Su Muyao kicked the elder who had been speaking out of the house.

Xiao Tongtong recoiled in fright, crying out, "Help! Someone's killed someone! Someone's broken into the mourning hall! Quickly, find the major families of Xiaozhou for backup..."

Xiao Tongtong thought to herself that she would let everyone see what Xiao Jihan had done, ruin his reputation, and then the position of head of the Xiao family would only be hers.

Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan happened to be passing by, and she slapped them across the air.

"puff……"

Xiao Tongtong's head was twisted by the slap, and she flew backward, crashing hard into the wall. She spat out several mouthfuls of blood and lost several teeth.

She even felt as if her skeleton had shattered after hitting the wall.

This scene caused the servants of the Xiao family to widen their eyes and look at Su Muyao with admiration.

Wow, that's impressive. But what if they really like it?

They used to all obey the head of the family, Madam Xiao, but after Madam Xiao fell seriously ill, the atmosphere within the Xiao family changed.

Especially those servants who were loyal to the head of the family, they were often targeted by the elders and Miss Tongtong's people.

Seeing that Young Master Jihan had returned, and seeing how powerful his wife was, everyone felt very relieved.

Su Muyao led Xiao Jihan directly into the ancestral hall.

At this moment, Xiao Jihan's second uncle was kneeling there, while his second aunt was sleeping on the side. Hearing the noise, she quickly got up.

"What are you going to do?"

"Xiao Jihan, you dare to disturb your grandmother's mourning hall today. You will be cursed by everyone."

"Don't you even care about your reputation anymore?"

Xiao Jihan snorted, "Second Aunt has become a different person now."

Before, my second aunt was extremely filial and submissive in front of my grandmother, but after my grandmother's accident, she became arrogant and domineering.

“It’s you who has changed, not your second aunt. Xiao Jihan, your grandmother has kicked you out. Why don’t you leave now?”

Without saying a word, Xiao Jihan went straight up to open the coffin.

Xiao Jihan's second uncle and aunt were shocked. "Xiao Jihan, what are you doing? Stop..."

"Quickly, someone stop them!"

Even Xiao Jihan's second uncle, disregarding his kneeling in the mourning hall, tried to stop Xiao Jihan.

Su Muyao helped him block these people; she stood there easily, and no one could get close to her.

Su Muyao kicked out all the trusted subordinates they had cultivated.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid the orcs will crawl out alive?"

"We're still afraid we'll see something."

Upon hearing the news, the heads of other families hurriedly led their people over.

The Xiao family has a strong foundation, and given the opportunity, they actually want to annex the Xiao family.

When Madam Xiao was still alive, no one dared to have any other thoughts, but after Madam Xiao died, they dared to.

But when they arrived with their men, Wen Nanxi and his men acted like gatekeepers, blocking their subordinates.

Only the heads of these households were allowed to enter; their subordinates had to remain outside.

The heads of the various families initially intended to use their power to intimidate others, but after Wen Nanxi and his group revealed their aura and strength, they gave up on that idea.

They saw the family totem markings on Mei Qingchen's clothes and realized who these people were.

At this point, they dared not have any other thoughts and could only go in to watch the excitement.

Just then, Xiao Jihan had completely opened the coffin in the mourning hall and saw his grandmother inside, dressed in tattered clothes.

"grandmother!"

Xiao Jihan was so angry that his eyes turned red when he saw that his grandmother was dressed in shabby clothes and didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry.

"That's how they treated my grandmother."

He reached out to touch his grandmother's nose, only to find she wasn't breathing. "Grandma..."

Xiao Jihan's voice was extremely shrill.

Su Muyao went forward to check and found that he was indeed not breathing, but he still had a chance to live.

Just then, the system spoke up: "Host, didn't you pick a Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Herb at the Mei Family Trial Grounds?"

"The old lady of the Xiao family has a special cultivation method. She uses the Turtle Breathing Technique and is still alive with a breath left."

"If you give her that Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Herb, she will immediately regain her vitality and breath."
