Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 16 Sunset

"I will obey Your Highness's orders." The Holy Light Sage smiled slightly.

The next moment, three powerful beams of battle aura shot out from his fingertips, then transformed into three indestructible light locks that bound the three figures.

"Whoosh!" Three figures were pulled over directly, without any room for resistance.

Of the three, Xiao Jiande was clearly the first to be implicated.

The other two were naturally the two Dou Huang powerhouses who went to Qiling Village that night to make their move.

Although the two were extremely well concealed, it was useless to hide in front of a Dou Sheng.

"Xiao, Xiao Yan! Spare my life, please spare me!" Xiao Jiande's face showed a look of despair.

He never imagined that Xiao Yan would be the third imperial son of the Xiao clan, and even the Dou Sheng level experts of the Punishment Hall obeyed him.

"Hehe, if I spare you, who will spare those innocent descendants?" Xiao Yan said with a playful smile.

"When you relied on your so-called power and background to wantonly destroy other people's lives, did you ever think that this day would come for you?"

After speaking, his expression returned to calm, and he said with a hint of majesty, "Xiao Jiande, relying on his background, has committed numerous evils, harmed my Xiao clan members, and destroyed the foundation of my Xiao clan."

From this day forward, the practice of fighting is abolished, and those who violate it are demoted to commoners, never to be reinstated in the family genealogy.

After saying that, he unleashed a burst of fighting spirit that struck Xiao Jiande's dantian. Xiao Jiande's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath gradually weakening.

Seeing his grandson crippled, Xiao Jiande's grandfather couldn't help but roar, "Xiao Yan!!"

"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to yell at the Imperial Prince like that?"

The Saint of Light Punishment snorted coldly, and the purple-robed elder spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Old man, do you think you can just run away?" Xiao Yan sneered.

"You have attacked the imperial prince of the Xiao clan, shown disrespect to me, and attempted to protect the criminal. You are sentenced to a hundred years of reformation in the Demon Suppression Tower."

"You!" The old man in purple robes was first angry and then fearful.

What kind of place is the Demon Suppression Tower? It's the prison of the Xiao Clan. It's dark and gloomy inside, and there's a chilling aura that assaults the body. Even a Dou Zun expert would lose a layer of skin if he stayed there for a hundred years.

"Your Highness, Xiao Jiande has made a mistake, and Your Highness should punish him as appropriate. But isn't his grandfather going too far?" Xiao Lu said slowly.

It doesn't matter if an incompetent descendant of a Dou Huang dies, but the purple-robed elder is a Seven-Star Dou Zun, who can be considered a true top-tier power in their lineage.

"If you keep talking nonsense," Xiao Yan coldly turned his head and said, "I'll take you down too!"

Xiao Lu was stunned at first, then his face turned pale and then red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Xiao Lu, do you want to rebel?" The Saint of Light Punishment turned around and gave Xiao Lu a cold look.

His voice was like ice thrown into a raging fire, instantly clearing Xiao Lu's eyes.

Fortunately, the younger generation did not hear their conversation. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and calmed down.

Seeing Xiao Lu's expression, Xiao Yan sneered.

His action just now wasn't simply because he had a bad temper; rather, he wanted to let the two sages of literature and martial arts and the sage of light and punishment behind him know his temper.

Only those with a strong temper can earn the respect of those around them and have the authority to manage subordinates. Otherwise, no matter how noble their status, they will eventually be looked down upon.

In ancient times on Earth, every capable emperor possessed a ruthless temperament, was decisive in killing, and was a man of his word.

As for offending Xiao Lu, it's really nothing.

It's okay to offend an old man who took five hundred years to become a saint. As long as I can become a saint soon, these people will only have awe for me and dare not have the slightest hatred.

"Although you two were not the masterminds, you were responsible for carrying out the plan. You are sentenced to the same punishment as Xiao Jiande. If you have anyone to blame, blame yourself for following the wrong master."

Xiao Yan unleashed two more bursts of Dou Qi, causing the two Dou Huangs behind Xiao Jiande to cough up blood, their auras plummeting like deflated balloons.

"I, the Crown Prince, personally judged the crimes of these three. After demoting them to commoners, anyone who dares to secretly help them will be considered an enemy of me!"

Xiao Yan glanced coldly at the young disciples of Xiao Lu's lineage.

As Xiao Yan's cold gaze swept over them, these people trembled inwardly, and their eyes became even more pitying as they looked at Xiao Jiande.

Having lost his power and background, it's one thing, but even his fighting spirit has been crippled. One can imagine how miserable Xiao Jiande's future will be.

"Elder Guang, the rest is up to your Punishment Hall. I won't get involved. I just hope that the Punishment Hall will strictly follow the clan law," Xiao Yan said with a slight smile.

"Hehe, Your Highness, rest assured, leave this matter to me. I will definitely act in accordance with the rules."

The Saint of Light nodded and smiled.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Elder Guang." After saying this, Xiao Yan transformed into a streak of light and flew back.

After Xiao Yan flew far away, the Light Punishment Saint's smiling face returned to its usual cold and calm expression.

"Brother Guangfa." Xiao Lu, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth.

Even if the Xiao clan has many Dou Sheng, it would be good if they had one or two hundred. Naturally, all the Dou Sheng know each other.

"What's wrong? Do you want to plead for this Dou Zun?" The Light Punishment Saint had already turned around.

"Even if we can't leave the Demon Suppression Tower, it's good to be comfortable inside." Xiao Lu glanced at the purple-robed old man.

"Heh." The Saint of Light Punishment sneered, "Brother Xiao Lu, I really don't know where you've been cultivating all these past few hundred years. We've known each other for a while, so let me give you a piece of advice: don't ruin yourself for a few good-for-nothing juniors."

"If it were one of the other two imperial princes here today, would you still dare to say such things?"

After saying that, he grabbed with his right hand, and the four people, including the purple-robed elder, were caught without any power to resist. Then, with a wave of his hand, the Saint of Light Punishment disappeared from this space.

Xiao Lu stood there, his face changing repeatedly, seemingly lost in thought.

Finally, he glanced coldly at his descendants flying in the sky and said, "Tonight, all elders whose cultivation has reached the Dou Zun level or above will hold a meeting to strictly enforce family rules!"

On the ruins of Qiling Village, Xiao Yan returned once again. He glanced at the white-haired old village chief and said, "Old sir, everything has been resolved. Xiao Jiande and the two who did it have their Dou Qi abolished and have been demoted to commoners."

I didn't execute him outright, but rather wanted him to personally experience the suffering of those he oppressed. Without his fighting spirit and powerful connections, his fate would be even more tragic.

"Thank you, sir!" The old village chief stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Xiao Yan. He had unconsciously changed his address for Xiao Yan from "young master" to "sir".

Behind him, a group of people of Chinese descent also clasped their hands in a gesture of respect and bowed.

"I'm the one who brought this trouble upon you, yet you're the ones thanking me." Xiao Yan smiled as he helped the villagers up, it was hard to tell whether he was laughing at himself or at the world.

"Consider this as a donation for your village reconstruction. I will acquire this basin next. Under my name, no one will dare to mess with you." With a wave of his hand, a jade bottle fell into the hands of each villager.

These jade bottles were filled with only fourth-grade pills, which would be a great fortune for many ordinary villagers.

"Thank you, sir!" The villagers bowed again, clasping their hands in thanks.

Xiao Yan simply smiled and then flapped his Dou Qi wings to leave.

"Little Yanzi, when did you become the Emperor's son? How come I didn't know?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

"you guess?"

"I bet you're a fool!" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes.

Xiao Yan didn't speak again, but instead flew while looking at the sky.

The sky gradually darkened, but unfortunately, the dull Pure Lotus Demon Flame couldn't create a romantic sunset.

Perhaps, busy with his post, he had no time to think about these things.

It's time to step out of the Xiao Realm and see the sunset over the Dou Qi Continent.

With this chapter, the first plot is basically finished. This is actually just my imagination of the prosperity of the Xiao clan after Xiao Xuan became emperor.

This can be considered as fulfilling my speculation about the power of a Dou Di family. In fact, I often feel that my writing skills are not good enough and I have not been able to perfectly express my imagination.

Here, I would like to thank the readers who have followed my updates all along for not minding my poor writing style.

Starting tomorrow, the male lead will truly arrive in the Dou Qi Continent, and the plot will become even more exciting. I hope everyone will support him!
