The Gate Between Two Realms, from Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit to Fox Spirit Matchmaker
Chapter 16: The Dao Alliance, the Xiao Family
. . . . . .
One day later, at the Xiao family in Tianxian City of the Dao Alliance.
Xiao Tianhao, the young master of the Xiao family, was sitting in his study, reading letters that had been sent to the Xiao family from all over the country.
Among them were connections with some important aristocratic families.
But most importantly, there were messages coming from the various branches of the Xiao family.
One of the caravans transporting demons was hijacked by a cat demon.
"Where did this cat demon come from, daring to attack the Xiao family?"
"Moreover, how could a demon possibly possess such powerful sword energy?"
"Is it a lie by Xiao Wu and others, or is there another family involved behind this?"
As Xiao Tianhao read the words in the letter, his expression became somewhat solemn.
No force is afraid of open enemies; what it fears are those who plot against you from behind.
At this moment, Xiao Tianhao's mind also began to quickly scan through a series of names.
The Xiao family has extensive connections and is well-informed. There aren't many families or cultivators within the Dao Alliance who use swords as their weapon, let alone those whose strength surpasses that of a Demon King, making the range very small.
He simply didn't believe that a mere cat demon could be as powerful as described in the letter.
Just as Xiao Tianhao was agonizing over this, his father Xiao Wancheng's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Hao'er, how did things go?"
As soon as Xiao Wancheng entered, Xiao Tianhao immediately stood up and gave his seat to Xiao Wancheng.
"Father, there's a tricky matter I need your help with."
Xiao Tianhao handed over the letter in his hand.
Seeing that someone dared to attack the Xiao family's demon-catching team, Xiao Wancheng frowned.
"Father, do you think it's someone from the Wang Quan family or the Zhang family?"
"Besides the Wangquan Sword and the Zhang Family Sword, it seems that there are few people in the Dao Alliance who have such powerful sword qi cultivation."
Xiao Tianhao was unsure whether his guess was correct.
All he knew was that the only two families in the entire Dao Alliance that could possibly be involved were these two.
As the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Tianhao had a very good grasp of the situation of various forces in the Dao Alliance.
This is why Xiao Wancheng was so at ease with her despite her young age.
"No, it's impossible for the Wang Quan family. The Xiao family has nothing to offend them about."
"They're not the kind of people who would do something like this for a few minor monsters."
"As for the Zhang family, that's unlikely too. The Zhang family's sword is far more dangerous than you imagine."
"The letter also mentioned a spell that induces sleep, which should have been created by the demon race."
"The only strange thing is, does that cat demon really possess such formidable swordsmanship?"
Xiao Wancheng frowned slightly, and his expression became somewhat strange.
He believed what Xiao Wu and the others had said: there was no one in the entire Dao Alliance who could interfere with the Xiao family's business.
Most of the other prominent families had business dealings with the Xiao family, so they wouldn't disrupt the Xiao family's business.
"Father, but that's a cat demon."
"According to what Xiao Wu wrote in his letter, the cat demon's swordsmanship was astonishing, sharp and scorching."
"How could there be such a monster among the demon race?"
Xiao Tianhao didn't think things would turn out that way, since the possibility was too low.
But Xiao Wancheng shook his head at this moment.
"No, it's possible."
"Quickly send messages to all parts of the Xiao family. If they encounter any demons wielding swords, immediately notify the inspectors in each area."
"That cat demon is definitely still within the Dao Alliance's territory. Have all towns and cities increase their guard."
"In addition, other caravans should also send more people to escort them, so that no more trouble can occur."
Xiao Wancheng's personality perfectly embodies the saying "old ginger is spicier."
He immediately realized that this matter was not simple.
It was immediately determined that the person acting must be a demon, and possibly a demon who wields a sword.
This conjecture may seem bold, but it is actually highly probable.
"Dad, are you serious?"
"How could there be such a guy among the demon race?"
"And they even dare to cause trouble on our turf."
Xiao Tianhao was still somewhat incredulous, because logically speaking, it was truly hard for anyone to believe.
After all, Xiao Wancheng's guess needs to meet two conditions: firstly, it may possess the strength of a demon king and dare to roam and cause trouble within the territory of the Dao Alliance.
Secondly, this demon race possesses superb swordsmanship, even comparable to the top swordsmanship cultivators of the Dao Alliance.
In Xiao Tianhao's view, the conditions were too harsh and almost impossible to meet.
"Whether it's the demon race or other forces, if they are truly targeting our Xiao family..."
"They will definitely choose to take action again."
"Otherwise, it can only be what I'm guessing."
"It's better to waste time searching than to do nothing and wait for the other side to deal with us."
"Don't forget, many businesses in Celestial City rely on demon-catching teams."
"If the demon-catching team runs into trouble, it will be difficult for our Xiao family to explain."
Xiao Wancheng's expression gradually turned ugly, and he began to explain to Xiao Tianhao bit by bit.
However, Xiao Tianhao did not understand that the demon-catching team was clearly established by the Xiao family.
If something goes wrong, why should the Xiao family be the one to explain?
Even now, he has begun to handle most of the Xiao family's affairs.
However, he never had the right to know about the Xiao family's truly core and more secretive affairs.
"Understood, Father."
"I'll send someone to deliver the message right away."
Xiao Tianhao nodded and then immediately went out to take care of it.
"Hopefully it's just some ignorant little monster causing trouble."
"After all, this way the other routes won't have any problems."
"Otherwise, those old guys over there will definitely take their anger out on the Xiao family."
Xiao Wancheng rubbed his forehead, feeling a terrible headache.
On the surface, the Xiao family is currently enjoying immense power and influence, controlling all the wealth of Tianxian City.
But that was only on the surface. Xiao Wancheng was well aware that the Xiao family's strength was far from sufficient.
Within the Dao Alliance, they may seem to possess great supernatural powers, but in reality, they can only be considered a second-rate family.
. . . . . .
Four days later.
Five days have passed since Rainbow Cat arrived here through the inner light gate.
Since he broke through the mental cultivation method two days ago and reached the fifth level of the Flying Rainbow Mental Cultivation, where his heart and flame were united, he has been in a state of enlightenment.
Over the course of a few days, he also made several moves within the territory of the Dao Alliance.
Every journey from one town to another involves encountering some injustices.
There were incidents of demons disturbing civilians, as well as duels between Dao Alliance cultivators and demons.
There have also been cases of demon women being enslaved.
The frequency of these occurrences made Rainbow Cat realize that something was amiss.
It's as if these things happened intentionally.
Or perhaps, the Dao Alliance's territory is inherently such a chaotic place.
Five days later, in a suburb within the territory of the Dao Alliance.
Rainbow Cat and his two companions were resting by a stream in the suburbs.
Having just experienced a great battle with the demon race, Rainbow Cat was also somewhat exhausted.
Although they were all minor characters, what he saw every day even made Rainbow Cat have some doubts.
