Chapter 345: A Kill Plot Targeting Xiao Yang!

The Xiao Family of Yuanlong City was once the ruler, with the family head, Xiao Zhenshan, having declared himself the city lord, having everything under his control.

Members of the Xiao Family were truly living the high life in the city.

However, this situation didn’t last long.

Liu Ruxian came back with a vengeance.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Zhenshan’s family fled Yuanlong City without hesitation.

They all went into hiding in Qingyun City, but Liu Ruxian’s people found and dragged them back to Yuanlong City.

Today, Liu Ruxian was set to perform a blood sacrifice for her late father and brother right before their spirit tablets.

At this moment, the entire city gathered in the square.

In the square, an altar had been constructed.

Xiao Zhenshan, shackled, was dragged out like an animal and pulled onto the altar, forced to kneel before the spirit tablets of Liu Ruxian’s father and brother.

Liu Ruxian stood with her back to Xiao Zhenshan’s family, facing the tablets.

The square was overflowing with people, yet it was utterly silent.

Countless eyes were fixed on the scene atop the altar.

“Liu Ruxian…”

With two burly men holding him, Xiao Zhenshan glared up at Liu Ruxian, his eyes burning with fury.

“Xiao Zhenshan…”

Liu Ruxian slowly turned around, coldly looking down at the kneeling Xiao Zhenshan.

“Xiao Zhenshan, did you ever think you’d end up like this?”

Her gaze was as icy as could be.

The Liu and Xiao families had been feuding in Yuanlong City for decades.

The Liu Family was the top cultivation family, while the Xiao Family was kept under their thumb.

However, since the emergence of Xiao Yang, the Xiao Family soared to new heights.

In just over a decade, the Xiao Family rapidly rose, even defeating the Liu Family in the battle for the Northern Hill Mine, driving them out of Yuanlong City.

But their good fortune was short-lived; Liu Ruxian clung to the leg of the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Chu Guiyuan, becoming his partner.

With the support of Guiyuan Martial Sect, the Liu Family returned to Yuanlong City, forcing the Xiao Family out once again.

Then, the Xiao Family leveraged the Qingyang Sword Sect’s power to reclaim Yuanlong City.

This time, the Liu Family had truly hit a brick wall.

The family head and other Liu members were all dead; only Liu Ruxian managed to escape.

After this incident, the Liu Family in Yuanlong City was completely finished.

Xiao Zhenshan initially thought that even if Xiao Yang left the Xiao Family and Qin Fei ignored them, they could still hold onto their slice of land in Yuanlong City.

Who would have thought Liu Ruxian would suddenly come back?

Moreover, she sent people to drag Xiao Zhenshan’s entire family back from Qingyun City.

“Liu Ruxian, my son is Xiao Yang, my adopted son is Qin Fei; if you dare to touch us, you’re dead!”

Xiao Zhenshan shouted angrily.

“Haha…”

Liu Ruxian couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Haha… this is too funny; who doesn’t know that Xiao Yang has completely severed ties with your Xiao Family? And what about that Qin Fei? You think I don’t know? Qin Fei doesn’t care about you anymore.”

She sneered in disdain.

“You…”

Xiao Zhenshan was both shocked and enraged.

“Big brother, Xiao Yang, please come save your sister!”

Chu Yue cried out in despair.

At that moment, she truly regretted not treating Xiao Yang better; otherwise, they wouldn’t have fallen into such a predicament.

“Yang’er… I regret this so much…” Chen Ruolan sobbed.

But now that they were regretting, it was already too late.

They had bet everything on Qin Fei; who would’ve thought he’d turn his back on them?

Qin Fei was nothing but an ingrate.

If they had just treated Xiao Yang a little better, they would have surely avoided this fate.

“Alas!”

Xiao Zhenshan felt like slapping himself.

“Are you regretting it now? Haha, you should be! Today, no one will come to save you. I will perform a blood sacrifice for my father and brother, haha…”

Liu Ruxian laughed maniacally.

Xiao Zhenshan was in despair.

Chen Ruolan and Chu Yue also despaired.

In fact, all the Xiao family members who hadn’t escaped had already been captured and killed by Liu Ruxian.

The hatred between the Liu and Xiao families was irreconcilable.

It’s either you die or I die.

All the people in the city were clearly aware of the grievances between the Xiao and Liu families.

However, Liu Ruxian was stirring up such a big scene, intending to perform a blood sacrifice for Xiao Zhenshan’s family before the entire city.

That was just plain ruthless.

“Alright, the time has come; it’s time for you all to go.”

As Liu Ruxian said this, she slowly drew her sword.

Throwing the scabbard aside, she raised the sword high with both hands.

A burly man stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Zhenshan by the hair, yanking it.

Xiao Zhenshan’s neck was exposed.

The crowd held their breath, anxiously watching the scene unfolding on the altar.

Xiao Zhenshan closed his eyes and awaited his fate.

“Dad, big brother, I’ll send this old dog Xiao Zhenshan down to you for your disposal!”

Liu Ruxian said as she plunged the sword down viciously.

Just as it seemed Xiao Zhenshan was about to meet his end, a cold light suddenly shot out from the crowd, slamming right into the blade.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal meeting metal reverberated. Liu Ruxian felt her hand tremble, and the sword was knocked from her grip, flying out of her hands.

“What…”

Liu Ruxian was taken aback.

At her feet, a metal ball rolled around.

The entire square was in shock.

Someone had actually intervened to save Xiao Zhenshan?

At this time, the area where the flying sword had come from erupted into a panic as people scattered.

A figure then emerged before everyone’s eyes.

It was a tall and sturdy youth.

“Who are you, daring to ruin my plans?”

On the altar, Liu Ruxian glared down at the young man and gritted her teeth.

“Hmph!”

The young man scoffed, then flicked his finger.

“Whoosh!”

A sharp sound cut through the air, and the next moment, a blood flower exploded on Liu Ruxian’s left shoulder as it was pierced by a cold light.

She screamed, her entire body flying back, crashing right through the tablets of spirits set on the altar.

The one who made this move was Zhao Fan.

He was a Five Elements Dominator, and the strength of his body was extraordinary.

Just a flick of a metal bead was enough to send Liu Ruxian flying.

Zhao Fan’s action astonished everyone present.

“Dare to injure someone from Guiyuan Martial Sect?”

At that moment, a middle-aged man dashed out from a tower beside the square, landing directly on the altar.

“Indeed…”

Zhao Fan glanced at the middle-aged man on the altar and then scanned the surrounding towers in the square.

This was definitely a setup.

A murder plot aimed at his master Xiao Yang.

But so what?

These guys dared to set up a kill plot against his master; they truly had a death wish!
