Battle Through the Heavens: He possesses extraordinary comprehension and is born a Battle Emperor!

Chapter 23: Anxiety and Silence, True Growth Begins!

"Second Elder, what are you yelling about!"

"They're just some herbs; you can burn them all!"

Hearing that the Second Elder was concerned about the condition of the pile of herbs immediately, Xiao Zhan felt annoyed.

Can these worthless herbs be compared to the safety of our Xiao family's two geniuses and the clan leader's wife?

That old man doesn't feel any pity at all when he hears that the victims aren't his own descendants!

However, the Second Elder also retorted.

"Clan leader, just these spiritual herbs piled up here are almost enough to buy most of the Xiao family."

"Are you sure you want to burn it?"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, after confirming that the clan leader's wife, as well as Xiao Chong and Xiao Yan, were indeed unharmed.

The group of people gathered there also looked at the spiritual herbs piled up in the corner, and after taking one look, they were stunned on the spot.

If you said that Xiao Chong could kill Jia Lie Tian without anyone noticing, then everyone would believe it.

After all, even if Xiao Chong is only in the mind of an infant, he is still a genuine Dou Huang.

But where do these elixirs come from?

With so many spiritual herbs, almost all of them are over a hundred years old. If this were taken out, it would be enough to buy most of the Xiao family's assets!

Faced with this strange situation, everyone naturally turned their attention to Xiao Chong.

Although they didn't subconsciously realize that these elixirs were conjured up by Xiao Chong.

But... they couldn't find a more reasonable reason than this.

Just as the people from the Xiao family who had gathered there wanted to get to the bottom of things, they discovered that Xiao Chong had fallen asleep sometime earlier.

I don't know if this kid did it on purpose or not!

However, the Xiao family soon found a convincing reason.

At the scene of the battle, the Xiao family members did indeed find the shattered fragments of the storage ring.

It seems that Jia Lie Tian was also carrying a storage ring, but because he died from his body exploding, the storage ring he was carrying was also shattered.

Considering all these factors, the Xiao family members offered a reasonable explanation.

As the ancestor of the Jialie family, Jialietian must have been on the verge of death long ago, so he naturally needed a lot of precious spiritual medicines to prolong his life.

The story about the two geniuses of the Xiao family needing life-saving herbs is false, but this old guy is definitely telling the truth!

After he self-destructed, these spiritual herbs fell out of his storage ring and landed right here.

This reason is obviously much more reasonable than the reason that these medicinal herbs were conjured up by Xiao Chong!

The second elder also quickly ordered people to store these spiritual herbs to prevent further squandering of spiritual energy.

Xiao Zhan also came over to check on Xiao Chong a few more times. After confirming that Xiao Chong and his mother were alright, he got up and left.

After all, the patriarch of the Galley family had been sent to carry out an assassination, so they naturally had to respond in some way.

Soon, after all the medicinal herbs were moved out, only Xiao Chong, Xiao Yan, and Gu Xue remained in the room.

"Hmph, you're sleeping so soundly. But Mom knows you just saved me."

"Thank you so much, you saved my life again."

The last time he was saved was naturally when Xiao Chong was still in his mother's womb.

Gu Xue hummed a little tune and gently kissed Xiao Chong's head. Her eyes were filled with a mother's doting love as she looked at Xiao Chong. He couldn't feel that kind of love.

However, Xiao Chong was asleep.

After all, there is a mature soul inside this baby's body, and he would also feel embarrassed.

So he decided that sleep would solve all his problems!

……

Inside the Xiao family hall, the patriarch and a group of elders gathered once again to discuss the assassination attempt.

"Clan chief, the Galley family is going too far!"

"Send their ancestor to assassinate us on our Xiao family's territory!"

"Chieftain, I cannot swallow this insult."

"But this is not a wise move. The Jialie family may indeed have some trump cards. They have existed in Wutan City for longer than our Xiao family. Besides, who knows if the Opa family is involved in this operation!"

"What's there to be afraid of? My nephew Xiao Chong possesses the power of a Dou Huang!"

"You're letting a baby lead the way? Have you no shame! At least wait until he's older!"

Inside the hall, the elders were also arguing fiercely.

People who practice martial arts are often hot-tempered, so most of the elders agreed to roll up their sleeves and get to work!

However, some people disagreed, saying that Utan City is currently still in a three-way balance of power, and if you take the initiative to put pressure on the Galley family, who knows the other family's stance.

Even if Xiao Chong could handle everything, is it really the right thing to do?

On one hand, they really couldn't afford to lose face. No matter how talented Xiao Chong was, he was still just a baby. Asking him to take the initiative was really going too far...

Now, the one who truly makes the final decision is Xiao Zhan.

If it were the Xiao Zhan of the past, he might have gotten carried away with his passion and slammed his fist on the table, declaring, "Let's do it!"

But now, he has other ideas.

Judging from this situation, Xiao Zhan knew that the news of Xiao Chong's "serious illness" was indeed very beneficial to the Xiao family at present.

If the Jia Lie family knew that Xiao Chong was actually fine, they would never have dared to come and attempt an assassination, even if Xiao Chong was just a child.

The Xiao family had been looking for a suitable reason to attack the Jialie family, and now the Jialie family had been directly handed over as their trump card.

They also brought so many medicinal herbs.

So, this assassination attempt failed, and the Jia Lie family must be in a state of extreme panic, after all, their ancestor is no longer alive.

Letting them live in fear and shadow is the best thing for the Xiao family right now!

Furthermore, keeping the Jia Lie family living in fear and shadow can effectively conceal the Xiao family's true strength and purpose.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Zhan slammed his hand on the table and said.

"For at least ten years, our Xiao family must adopt an attitude of keeping quiet, not compromising, not being afraid of death, and not actively causing trouble when dealing with outsiders."

"This is the current principle of the Xiao family: to give our Xiao family's geniuses ample time to grow!"

"It's a pity that old bastard Jia Lietian died from his body exploding. If we had just sent his head back, it might have been more effective."

This decision was met with nods of approval from everyone in the council hall.

However, several of the highest-ranking elders, including the Grand Elder, also glanced at Xiao Zhan a few more times.

Since Xiao Chong came into the picture, this clan leader has become more and more like a true clan leader.

Having a genius son can really change a father.

But why don't they have such a genius son?
