Chapter 1177 1178: Sensation Across the City
After speaking, the City Lord Mu Huang swept a glance across the great hall and continued, "All of you come with me to the Xiao Family. I'll raze the Xiao Family to the ground!"
"City Lord!" someone suddenly spoke up. "I don't know if I should say this or not!"
"Speak!"
"I'm afraid this Xiao Tianyu's background is not simple!" That middle-aged man had thought things through more thoroughly. He said, "This person descended from the sky. He is not from Mountain and Sea City, and his talent is terrifying. He might be a heaven's favored son of some power or family outside Mountain and Sea City. If by any chance…"
"If by any chance what?" Mu Huang snorted coldly. "No matter who this boy is, even if he is the son of a Great Emperor, he must pay with his life for my son!"
Mu Huang had clearly gone mad, but it was hard to blame him. He had only one son, and now he was dead. There would be no one to succeed him. How could he not rage?
"Yes!" That man nodded and said no more. He only hoped things wouldn't be as he feared. Otherwise, the Mu Family would likely be doomed for eternity.
Then, above the Mu Family, several Great Demons let out long howls and shot forward, stirring up an endless storm. On the back of each Great Demon sat several terrifying powerhouses. And not only that, these Great Demons were all pulling a Dragon Chariot, crushing the void as they passed.
As for who was sitting inside that Dragon Chariot, there was no need to say more.
"What's going on?"
The entire Mountain and Sea City was in an uproar. Everyone looked at those Great Demons pulling the Dragon Chariot as it crushed its way past and was shaken by the scene before their eyes. Such a formation had never appeared before, unless some great matter had occurred.
Someone couldn't help but cry out, "What earthshaking event has happened in Mountain and Sea City to make the Mu Family move out in full force?"
"Who knows, but looking at this formation, something big must have happened!"
"You still don't know?" someone suddenly opened his mouth. "Today was the day the Young City Lord Mu Xie was to marry the Xiao Family's daughter Xiao Xin. It's said that the ten-plus Martial Kings that Young City Lord Mu Xie brought all died in the Xiao Family, including the Young City Lord himself!"
"What did you say? Mu Xie is dead?"
Many people sighed in amazement. In Mountain and Sea City, there was actually someone who dared to kill Mu Xie. Did they have a death wish?
Also, it was said that in the Xiao Family, the highest Cultivation was only the Ninth Layer of Martial Immortal. How did they kill Immortal Kings?
Immediately, someone said, "How is that possible? I know the Xiao Family's foundation very well. They're just a third-rate family with no threat at all. How did those Immortal Kings die?"
"A few days ago, a youth descended from the sky and left a huge pit outside the city. You must have heard about it!"
"Heard about it? I was actually on the scene back then!" In the crowd, a youth responded, "Wait, you don't mean this has something to do with that youth, do you!"
"Exactly!"
"Let's go take a look!"
After the Mu Family's powerhouses disappeared into the void, many people in Mountain and Sea City began soaring into the air, treading the clouds toward the Xiao Family's direction.
The Young City Lord Mu Xie was dead, and Mountain and Sea City was about to change. They all wanted to see who dared to be so bold as to kill Mu Xie.
Very soon, the boundless void for ten thousand miles was densely packed with figures, stretching across ten miles, endless in number.
Mu Xie was dead, and the Mountain and Sea City Lord was enraged.
With this rage, there would surely be rivers of blood.
...
At this moment, above the Xiao Family compound, the sky was pitch-black. Great Demons one after another blotted out the heavens and covered the sun. Not only that, a terrifying pressure directly enveloped the entire Xiao Family, causing everyone in the Xiao Family to fall into panic in an instant.
"They're here, the people of the City Lord's Mansion, the Mu Family, are here!"
"This time, I'm afraid the hundreds of us in the Xiao Family will all have to be buried with Mu Xie!"
"..."
Feeling the pressure descending from the void, the people of the Xiao Family all turned deathly pale. No matter who killed Mu Xie, in the end he had come here to marry Xiao Xin and died in the Xiao Family.
For the Xiao Family, this was absolutely an unprecedented disaster.
"Xiao Zhenshan, you are truly audacious!" A thunderous shout rolled in from the void, shaking the Xiao Family up and down. Within several hundred li, everyone could feel the shockwaves carried by that voice.
From these words, it was not hard to hear how furious Mu Huang was now.
With his fury, who in the Xiao Family could bear it? This was Mu Huang, the sole sovereign of Mountain and Sea City. The power of life and death over the entire Mountain and Sea City was in his hands. Who could defy his will?
Now his son, Mu Xie, had died in the Xiao Family. The Xiao Family would almost certainly be buried along with him.
At this moment, figure after figure stepped out from the Xiao Family's great hall. Among them were Xiao Zhenshan, the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor, several Elders, and many other members of the Xiao Family. Xiao Feng was among them as well.
Then, the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor took the lead and they all knelt to the ground, calling out in unison, "We pay our respects to Mu Huang!"
Mu Huang still sat upright inside the Dragon Chariot without showing himself. He swept his gaze over the Xiao Family's people, his eyes filled with icy killing intent, making everyone in the Xiao Family feel endless despair.
Beside the Dragon Chariot, an old man in green robes spoke. "My Mu Family's young master, Mu Xie, took a fancy to your Xiao Family's daughter Xiao Xin. That was your Xiao Family's supreme honor. Yet your Xiao Family killed the Mu Family's young master here. From today on, the Xiao Family will be struck from Mountain and Sea City!"
His rolling voice made every member of the Xiao Family below go deathly pale.
The Xiao Family's Old Ancestor looked up toward the Dragon Chariot in the void and said, "Please spare us, Mu Huang. None of this was the Xiao Family's wish, and our Xiao Family was completely willing to marry Xiao Xin off. It's just that an uninvited guest came to the Xiao Family, incomparably arrogant, and it was at his hands that Young City Lord Mu Xie died. Right now, that person is being trapped by us in the Xiao Family, awaiting your judgment, Mu Huang. And on behalf of the Xiao Family, I am willing to hand over Xiao Xin to be dealt with as you see fit. We only ask that you spare the lives of the Xiao Family's people!"
"Yes, Mu Huang, this was not the Xiao Family's wish. We were simply powerless. That Xiao Tianyu is truly too arrogant, disregarding everything. The Xiao Family bears some responsibility, but we really were forced into this!"
"You're despicable!" Xiao Feng swept a cold gaze over the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor and the Third Elder, snorted coldly, and said, "My master couldn't bear to see my sister humiliated and had no choice but to act. If I were strong enough, I would still kill Mu Xie. The people of the Xiao Family must not be humiliated!"
"Silence!" The Xiao Family's Old Ancestor roared, and the next second—"Pa!"
He slapped Xiao Feng and sent him flying.
Then, the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor looked up toward the void and said, "This person is that Xiao Tianyu's newly accepted disciple, a traitor of the Xiao Family. I ask that Mu Huang punish him!"
At these words, Xiao Zhenshan's expression turned extremely ugly. Xiao Feng was the grandson he had personally raised. But so what? Before a powerhouse, he was just an ant. He simply could not change anything.
Then, the Mu Family's people looked down at Xiao Feng. In an instant, Xiao Feng felt a mountain of pressure. The other party was a Martial King; killing him wouldn't take the slightest effort.
This was a world where the strong were revered. Only if you were strong did you have the right to speak.
At this moment, a voice came from within the Dragon Chariot. "Where are that Xiao Tianyu and Xiao Xin?"
"In the rear courtyard!" the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor replied. "All of this began because of that man. He deserves to die a thousand times. We hope Mu Huang can forgive the Xiao Family up and down!"
