Chapter 223: Chapter 222: ’The Number One Genius of Purple Cloud City

Xiao Family Elders and clansmen

had already gathered outside.

The Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect and a group of disciples had already set foot in the Xiao Family.

On the other side, a troop of City Guard Army had surrounded the Xiao Family.

Leading them was a middle-aged man, the City Lord of Purple Cloud City.

”Mystic Fire Sect, what brings you to the Xiao Family?” Xiao Lihuo looked coldly at the Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect.

The Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect shrugged and said teasingly, ”Great Elder of the Xiao Family, why ask when you already know?”

”There’s no place for your Xiao Family in Purple Cloud City anymore.”

Xiao Lihuo snorted coldly, turned his head, and looked at another middle-aged man.

”What brings the City Lord here?”

The City Lord of Purple Cloud City sneered, ”Didn’t the Sect Leader of the Mystic Fire Sect just answer you?”

At that moment, a mild voice was heard.

”It seems, both of you came today with the intention to plot against my Xiao Family.”

The speaker was Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, who had been planning to train, now slowly stepped forward.

In his eyes, both the Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect and the City Lord of Purple Cloud City were nothing more than clowns.

”Who are you?” The Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect looked disdainfully at Xiao Yi.

”I was talking to your Xiao Family’s Great Elder.”

”When did it become your turn, a mere family disciple, to interrupt?”

”How presumptuous.” Mu Miaomiao and Yui Rulong, standing behind Xiao Yi, shouted coldly.

”Dare to disrespect the Sword Master again, and don’t blame us for being impolite.”

”Sword Master?” The Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect was initially stunned, then burst into loud laughter.

”What kind of title is that? It sounds quite intimidating.”

”Are you also Xiao Family disciples?”

”Ah, one of the Three Great Families of Purple Cloud City, the Xiao Family.”

”Now it’s becoming more and more useless, just two disciples daring to be so disrespectful.”

In Northern Mountain County, there hasn’t been a Sword Master for hundreds of years.

Apart from some major forces, ordinary forces have long forgotten what that means.

Not to mention in a remote place like Purple Cloud City.

Moreover, the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect hasn’t declared itself across the county yet.

”You’re seeking death.” Yui Rulong’s facial expression changed, ready to make a move.

”Just a mere Mysterious Profundity First Layer...”

Indeed, the Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect was just a Mysterious Profundity First Layer Martial Artist.

Back when Xiao Yi was still with the Xiao Family, he was only at Half-step Cave Profound.

Recently, he had just broken through to the Mysterious Profundity First Layer.

And Yui Rulong was the Chief of the Beast Hall from the powerful Sky-splitting Sword Sect, with a cultivation of Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer.

Being provoked by such a weaker person, it was strange not to react.

At that moment, Xiao Yi waved his hand, stopping Yui Rulong.

”I want to ask, what grudge does the Xiao Family have with your Mystic Fire Sect?”

”That made all your sect’s martial artists come out in such an aggressive manner to my Xiao Family?”

Xiao Yi looked calmly at the Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect.

Meanwhile, the Xiao Family Elders didn’t speak any further.

In their hearts, Xiao Yi was now the Patriarch of the Xiao Family.

Moreover, they were confident in Xiao Yi’s strength.

Therefore, they left everything to Xiao Yi to handle, and they said no more.

”And you,” Xiao Yi turned to the City Lord of Purple Cloud City.

”As a lord of the city, you are supposed to maintain the order within the city.”

”Why, instead, do you lead troops to besiege my Xiao Family?”

The City Lord of Purple Cloud City sneered disdainfully, ”A brat like you is not worthy of my response.”

”Xiao Lihuo, has the Xiao Family run out of people?”

”Why are all the old fellows acting like shrinking turtles?”

”I’ll say it again, the Xiao Family has not paid taxes for a long time.”

”According to the city’s laws, all property of the Xiao Family will be confiscated.”

”Those who dare resist will be considered as showing contempt for the laws of Northern Mountain County.”

The City Lord coldly swept his gaze over the elders.

”Xiao Family Elders, I know you are not weak.”

”The weakest among you is an Innate Eighth Layer Martial Artist.”

”However, if you dare resist, it will be equivalent to defying the Commandery Prince of Northern Mountain County.”

The City Lord said, bowing slightly to the sky.

”Disrespecting the Commandery Prince means waiting for the Commandery Prince himself to send someone to annihilate you.”

”By then, your Xiao Family will die even more miserably.”

”Will the Northern Mountain County King send someone to annihilate my Xiao Family?” Xiao Yi murmured softly.

”Great Elder, has our Xiao Family really not paid taxes for a long time?” Xiao Yi looked towards the Great Elder and asked.

In Northern Mountain County, regardless of which city or family, all must pay taxes.

Even if the family is stronger than the City Lord’s Mansion.

Even if the City Lord has no say in the city.

Even if the City Lord has to bow before these family heads and martial artists.

Only paying taxes; no family dares to defy.

Because, this tax is paid to the Northern Mountain County King.

Of course, in a world where martial artists are revered and strength is everything,

martial artists do not care about this little money, let alone families.

Furthermore, every city must maintain a City Guard Army to keep order and stability within the city.

At that moment, Xiao Lihuo nodded and said, ”Indeed, it has been a long time since we paid taxes.”

As he spoke, Xiao Lihuo’s face became incredibly angry.

”It’s not that we refuse to pay taxes, but the City Lord, allied with various forces, targets our Xiao Family at every turn.”

”Do you remember what I told you last time you were here? Our family’s disciples are often attacked inexplicably when they go out.”

”I remember,” Xiao Yi nodded.

Xiao Lihuo angrily said, ”It’s their people.”

”Many of the disciples would have died if we, the elders, hadn’t timely intervened to save them.”

”Even though they were saved in time, those disciples were still severely injured.”

”The Xiao Family cannot even accomplish tasks outside.”

”Our family’s income these past two years has been pitifully small. How could we pay taxes?”

”I see,” Xiao Yi nodded and looked towards the City Lord.

”You, as the City Lord, have not fulfilled your duty to maintain order within the city.”

”Instead, you worsen the tyranny.”

”And you have the nerve to come to my Xiao Family asking for money?”

”Hmph,” the City Lord snorted coldly, ”You can choose not to give or even resist.”

”Northern Mountain County King could issue an order to destroy you all, then it would be your own doing.”

Xiao Yi shook his head slightly, not bothering with him.

Then he looked at the Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect, ”You haven’t answered me yet.”

The Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect didn’t speak, only sneered coldly.

Instead, a young man stepped forward from behind him.

”Little trash, do you still recognize me?”

”You?” Xiao Yi looked at him indifferently and said, ”Xiao Ruokuang?”

Indeed, the young man was Xiao Ruokuang.

He was once a disciple of the Xiao Family, now the Young Sect Master of Mystic Fire Sect.

”You have good eyesight,” Xiao Ruokuang said proudly, ”Long time no see. Your strength hasn’t improved much, but you’ve become somewhat smarter.”

”These two years, I have been diligently cultivating day and night at Mystic Fire Sect.”

”Now I am an Innate Sixth Layer Martial Artist, even ranked as the number one genius in Purple Cloud City.”

As he spoke, Xiao Ruokuang looked at Xiao Lihuo.

”Now, my strength isn’t much less than that of an ordinary elder of the Xiao Family.”

”In just two short years, I’ve grown to this extent.”

”Great Elder, today I’ll prove it to you.”

”That day you sided with Xiao Yi and drove me out of the family, it was due to your shortsightedness, failing to recognize the good from the bad.”

”Little trash, make your move.”

Xiao Ruokuang roared.

Before Xiao Yi could speak, Mu Miaomiao behind him let out a giggle.

”A mere Innate Sixth Layer dares to claim he’s the top genius?”

Xiao Yi shook his head slightly and again looked at Xiao Lihuo, asking, ”What grievances exactly does our Xiao Family have with Mystic Fire Sect?”

Xiao Lihuo’s face grew even angrier.

”I’ve told you about it last time, haven’t I?”

”Third Elder Xiao Chong sent a letter to Xiao Family’s Mine, asking Xiao Family members to return to the family.”

”It was because at that time, all the major trading companies in Mystic Breakthrough City were suppressing us.”

”And they, the Mystic Fire Sect, were supporting it from the shadows.”

”Long ago, our Xiao Family’s Mine was taken by them, Mystic Fire Sect.”

”This is also one of the reasons why our Xiao Family has almost no family income.”

”I see,” Xiao Yi nodded and asked, ”Why have you delayed telling me about these things?”

Xiao Lihuo replied, ”Our Xiao Family is currently beset with troubles, and you are often away; there was no opportunity to discuss this with you.”

Xiao Yi was just about to say something.

Xiao Ruokuang shouted, ”Little trash, why ask so many questions?”

”If you do not take action now, blame me not for not giving you a chance.”

”Today, I will defeat you personally and let you watch the Xiao Family perish.”

Xiao Yi said indifferently, ”No special reason, just clarifying things to avoid killing the wrong person.”

”Before I proceed, let me ask you one more question.”

”Who gave you the audacity to come to my Xiao Family?”

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader of Mystic Fire Sect, and the City Lord, all burst into laughter.

”Hahaha, facing death and still doesn’t know how.”

”Don’t think we aren’t aware of your feud with the Northern Mountain Murong Family.”

”At this moment, all the major trading companies of the Northern Mountain Murong Family have started acting.”

”A large number of strong members from the Murong Family are already on their way to Purple Cloud City.”

”Your demise is not far.”

Back then, the Xiao Family annihilated the Purple Cloud City Murong Family, which was known to everyone.

Naturally, their past offenses against the Northern Mountain Murong Family were also known to them.

”I see,” Xiao Yi still said indifferently, ”So you wanted to get a piece of the action early and deal with my Xiao Family in advance.”

”But, who told you.”

”That those people from the trading companies of the Northern Mountain Murong Family, are coming to trouble my Xiao Family?”

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, his expression, which had always been indifferent, turned as cold as frost.

He, had only wanted to clarify things a moment ago.

Now, it was time to take action.
