Chapter 65: The Holy Son of Guiyuan with Grass Growing on His Head

“Chu Guiyuan?”

Xiao Yang wasn’t surprised to see the newcomer. The guy had already arrived; he was just hanging around the city gate, enjoying the show.

However, what puzzled Xiao Yang was that Chu Guiyuan hadn’t interfered to save Gui Teng. Instead, he waited until Xiao Yang took care of Gui Teng before showing up.

“Greetings, Holy Son!”

Chu Xiao and the others hurried to pay their respects.

“So, this is the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Chu Guiyuan?”

Everyone was stunned by the sight of the young man dressed in white, elegantly waving his folding fan, exuding charm and refinement.

Guiyuan Martial Sect was the second-largest sect in the northern regions of Yuansha Continent.

Back in the day, the ancestor of Guiyuan used a single volume of the Guiyuan Classic to dominate the north and eventually established the Guiyuan Martial Sect, passing down the Guiyuan Nine Absolute Techniques.

Since then, each generation of Guiyuan Martial Sect produced powerful practitioners.

To this day, their strength was only second to Fuyiao Sword Sect.

The appearance of the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect here was shocking.

Even Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie was somewhat taken aback.

With such a high status, how could the Holy Son deign to come to this little place, Yuanlong City? There must be a motive behind this!

“Greetings, Holy Son!”

Elder Lei Lie didn’t dare to be lax and clasped his hands in greeting.

He felt a bit anxious.

“Don’t mind me, Elder!”

Chu Guiyuan merely nodded in acknowledgment.

At that moment, Xiao Zhenshan and the others felt even more despair.

If Qingyang Sword Sect couldn’t protect them, they regretted coming back to Yuanlong City.

Wasn’t Xiao Zhenshan trying to pull Lei Lie and the others into the mess by arranging for a horse-drawn cart and hoisting the Xiao family’s Tenglong flag on it, targeting the Liu family through their hands?

Elder Lei Lie was not a fool; how could he not see through Xiao Zhenshan’s scheme?

Still, Xiao Zhenshan was the father of Senior Brother Xiao Yang and the adoptive father of Qin Fei, a genius with an Innate Dao Body.

That was why Lei Lie intended to do a small favor for Xiao Zhenshan.

In Lei Lie’s eyes, the tiny Liu family was nothing; he could wipe them out with a flick of his hand.

Who would’ve imagined the Liu family had actually latched onto the leg of Guiyuan Martial Sect, with even the Holy Son making an appearance in Yuanlong City?

Now, Lei Lie was reluctant to get involved in the affairs between the Xiao and Liu families.

Song Qiang, Lin Wangchuan, and the others tensed up.

Jiang Ting couldn’t help but worry about Xiao Yang.

The Senior Brother was too reckless, actually killing Gui Teng.

What if the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect demanded justice?

At this moment, Qin Fei gazed coldly at Xiao Yang.

The Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect was here.

Was Xiao Yang not going to die this time?

He didn’t even need to stir up trouble; Xiao Yang had offended Guiyuan Martial Sect all by himself. This saved him a lot of hassle.

“I killed your sect’s elder, aren’t you mad?”

Xiao Yang looked at Chu Guiyuan with a half-smile.

“Brat, how can you speak to the Holy Son like that? Kneel down and apologize, beg the Holy Son for your life!”

Xiao Zhenshan bellowed at Xiao Yang.

“You want me to kneel and apologize?”

Xiao Yang grinned at Chu Guiyuan.

“Ha ha… Brother Xiao is joking. This Gui fellow overstepped himself and dared to attack Brother Xiao; he deserves to die!”

Chu Guiyuan laughed.

“What?”

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They could hardly believe their ears.

Gui Teng was a law elder of Guiyuan Martial Sect!

Xiao Yang killed Gui Teng, and not only did Chu Guiyuan not seek revenge, he even seemed a bit pleased about it?

“This…”

Elder Lei Lie was equally surprised.

“No way…”

Qin Fei was utterly stunned.

What was the situation?

The elder of Guiyuan Martial Sect had been eliminated, and as the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Chu Guiyuan actually didn’t care?

He thought these two would clash.

Who knew it would turn out like this?

Xiao Yang had been reborn, and no one understood Guiyuan Martial Sect’s current situation better than him.

The Gui family and Chu family both wanted to send their people to the biennial competition, and neither would back down.

Right now, Guiyuan Martial Sect was in turmoil.

The Gui family and Chu family were locked in a constant struggle.

Moreover, Gui Teng had been wielding power and bullying others since arriving in Yuanlong City, which irked Chu Guiyuan quite a bit.

Most importantly, Gui Teng had come to Yuanlong City for the recently discovered Underground Spiritual Vein.

Recently, an Underground Spiritual Vein had been found in the Northern Hill Mine of Yuanlong City; Chu Guiyuan had sealed the news, but the Gui family people still showed up.

This underground vein must have countless cultivation resources.

If the Chu family obtained this vein, their strength would skyrocket.

Since the vein was discovered by the Chu family, why should the Gui family get a share? No way!

Under these circumstances, why would Chu Guiyuan seek revenge for Gui Teng?

Unless he had taken leave of his senses.

Xiao Yang knew that coming back despite knowing Qin Fei had set a big trap for him was partly to pay respects to his grandfather, but mostly because of this Underground Spiritual Vein.

Soon, a major event would take place here, drawing powerful practitioners and various forces into conflict.

No one would expect a little Yuanlong City to lead to an incident that could affect the entire northern situation.

And that underground vein had something he desired.

In his previous life, they didn’t even need to detour to the Heavenly Medical Sect.

That item in the underground vein was ultimately seized by the Demon Sect, ending up in Qin Fei’s hands, the young leader of the Demon Sect.

With that item, Qin Fei advanced rapidly in cultivation, even surpassing Lei Renjie to become the second-best of the younger generation in Qingyang Sword Sect.

Xiao Yang would not let Qin Fei have things go smoothly!

He intended to kill Gui Jianren and Gui Teng not only to eliminate evil but also to take the chance to break free from the Xiao family.

He had become enemies with Guiyuan Martial Sect; the Xiao family would likely expel him to avoid any association.

In this life, he wanted to keep his distance from the people of Qingyang Sword Sect and the Xiao family.

“Son-in-law, save me!”

“Brother-in-law, help us!”

The Liu family father and son, who were begging Xiao Yang for mercy, suddenly came to their senses, urgently turning to Chu Guiyuan for help.

Upon hearing this, Chu Guiyuan frowned.

Xiao Yang understood why Chu Guiyuan wasn’t content to remain on the sidelines any longer.

It turned out he was coming for Liu Xiaotian and Liu Ruhui.

Characters like Liu Xiaotian and Liu Ruhui were easy for Xiao Yang to eliminate.

After all, all the people associated with the Xiao family had been captured by the Liu family and sent to the Northern Hill Mine to work.

Everyone from the Xiao family, except for Xiao Zhenshan’s family who managed to escape, had faced severe torment from the Liu family.

Although Xiao Yang had cut ties with the Xiao family, people as despicable as Liu family father and son deserved to die.

Now, here was Chu Guiyuan trying to protect them.

Liu family’s youngest daughter, Liu Ruxian, had joined Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Xiao Yang looked at Chu Guiyuan, sighing in his heart. This guy had no idea he’d be growing grass on his head in the future.

In his last life, the entangled fate between Chu Guiyuan, Liu Ruxian, and Chu Xiao was quite dramatic.

Chu Guiyuan was a pitiful figure, ultimately ending up with grass on his head and being done in by those two adulterers.

Chu Xiao even rose to become the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect.

This guy was currently sticking his neck out for the Liu family father and son.

Should he give him a nudge?

Xiao Yang hesitated.

“Brother Xiao, this fellow is the brother of my partner; could you give me some face and not hold it against them?”

Chu Guiyuan snapped his fan shut with a “whoosh” and smiled lightly at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang looked at Chu Guiyuan for quite a while.

Chu Guiyuan felt embarrassed under his gaze.

“Alright, I’ll give you this face, but don’t let me see them again, or else, it’ll be a kill without mercy.”

Xiao Yang shot a cold glance at the Liu family father and son, deciding not to provoke Chu Guiyuan until he got what he wanted from the underground vein.

He’d give him this courtesy.

And he had long since anticipated Chu Guiyuan wouldn’t attack him.

Because it was simple: he killed Gui Teng, and naturally, the Gui family would seek revenge, giving him an opportunity to weaken the Gui family’s power.

Chu Guiyuan certainly wouldn’t want to miss that chance.

“Don’t you thank Brother Xiao for sparing you?”

Chu Guiyuan’s attitude was very humble.

Everything was a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.

He didn’t want to get into unnecessary trouble.

All would be discussed after obtaining control of that underground vein.

While they had discovered the underground vein, they still hadn’t determined how big it was or what level it was.

The powerful practitioners from the Chu family hadn’t yet arrived.

The Liu family father and son could only humbly bow and thank Xiao Yang for sparing them.

Their son had been killed, and they not only couldn’t seek revenge but had to kneel and thank their enemy for not killing them. Liu Xiaotian and his son were so frustrated they nearly spat blood.

The Liu family father and son were seething with hatred towards Xiao Yang.

The murder of their son was unforgivable. As soon as they could leave this place, they would make sure the Xiao family faced dire consequences.

Liu Xiaotian gritted his teeth in secret.

Gui Teng had an older brother who was a genuine Divine Martial Realm powerhouse.

Once they could call him in, Xiao Yang would definitely be dead meat.
