#19 - The destruction of the Xu family?

Inside the Xu family's main hall.

The Xu family's powerful members gathered here.

Everyone's expression was serious.

At first glance, it was clear they were divided into two factions.

Because the Xu family wasn't exactly harmonious.

It was only natural that a ten-thousand-year-old imperial clan as large as the Xu family would be divided into many branches.

However, it was basically dominated by two major branches.

Xu Tianyi and Xu Fengqiu's lineage.

And then there was Xu Buhui's lineage.

Back then, Xu Buhui lost to Xu Tianyi in the competition for the position of Xu family head.

As for how close their blood ties were.

They really weren't that close.

Although they were all members of the Xu family, ten thousand years was a long time, and things had changed greatly.

"This is simply ridiculous!"

Xu Buhui slammed his palm on the table and then looked at Xu Tianyi, saying, "Xu Tianyi, are you just going to let Qiu'er act recklessly?"

A top genius who looked about the same age as Xu Fengqiu sat there, a smirk appearing on his lips as he said in a strange tone:

"These past few days, cousin's behavior has been no different from those arrogant and domineering纨绔 sons of rich families. A dignified Immortal Emperor, going back on his word and even going to the First Heaven to kill Ye Feng and the others, such a loss of face, even completely disregarding the consequences of killing Wang Zhiyin of Misty Peak, I really can't imagine what else he might do in the future."

His name was Xu Chang'an.

In this generation of the Xu family, he was the only genius besides Xu Fengqiu.

And he naturally resented Xu Fengqiu.

Because originally, all the resources, the youngest Immortal Emperor, should have been him, Xu Chang'an.

If it weren't for Xu Fengqiu's father, Xu Tianyi, obtaining the position of family head, the whole continent would be discussing him, Xu Chang'an.

Xu Chang'an: "The most ridiculous thing is that he killed the daughter of a sect leader and even wants Misty Peak to apologize. What is the basis for this? Misty Peak is indeed nothing, but what if the Medicine Emperor Sect and Misty Peak join forces? Medicine God Mountain might also take action. One person's mistake, how many lives from my entire Xu family will be needed to repay?"

An old man said, "Alas, what you say is true. Our Xu family's situation is worrying now."

"The young master's actions these past few days have indeed been disappointing. He has lost not only his own face but also the face of our entire Xu family."

"Before, the world compared him, Xu Fengqiu, with the contemporary Luo Liuli of the continent, Jun Yichen of the Immortal Palace, and others. Our Xu family was once again brought out to be compared with those forces. But now? It's simply a joke, a complete disgrace."

"… …"

Xu Chang'an said: "Esteemed elders, if this battle really breaks out, I fear our Xu family will be destroyed. Even if it's not destroyed, it will suffer a great loss of vitality, and countless will die and be injured. All of this is caused by Xu Fengqiu's foolishness. Why should we pay the price for this? I suggest handing Xu Fengqiu over to Misty Peak. A life for a life, it's a matter of course. He should pay the price for what he has done."

"Enough!"

An old man scolded: "What do you mean 'your Xu family'? The Xu family is also this old man's Xu family. Shrinking back when encountering problems, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world!"

Xu Chang'an clasped his fist: "Supreme Elder, the key is that our Xu family is already being laughed at. Handing over Xu Fengqiu, at least the world will still think that our Xu family is able to distinguish right from wrong, and the family rules are strict. Otherwise, the world will think that the people of our Xu family are all like Xu Fengqiu."

Xu Buhui looked at Xu Tianyi and said, "Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't do such a thing, let alone our ten-thousand-year-old imperial Xu family. Xu Tianyi, you've spoiled your son well! He comes back and hides, not even coming out, letting us clean up his mess? How are you going to resolve this? You tell me."

"Also, this old one wants to remind you that Ye Feng's master, Liu Yunyan, hasn't made a move yet. This time, I fear the Killing Pavilion will also send people. Our Xu family might even face the crisis of annihilation. Can you bear the responsibility?"

Xu Tianyi sat there, rhythmically tapping the table with his right hand, seemingly pondering something.

At this moment, Xu Fengqiu walked in.

"Oh, so lively?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Xu Fengqiu in unison.

Seeing Xu Fengqiu, Xu Chang'an's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly:

"Heh heh heh, cousin, I thought you were going to hide like a tortoise. Just right, since you're here, let's have a chat."

Xu Fengqiu's eyes swept coldly over Xu Chang'an.

"Xu Chang'an, do I need to remind you what you should call me?"

Crack, crack, crack—

Xu Chang'an clenched his fist.

"Young Master." His eyes flashed with gloom as he gritted his teeth and said.

Damn it!

What are you acting arrogant for?

Do you really think you can be the Xu family's young master for a few more days?

Can you even survive this time? He, Xu Chang'an, simply didn't believe it.

Once Xu Fengqiu died, the next Xu family young master would be him, Xu Chang'an.

"Ding… Detected a Child of Destiny."

[Child of Destiny]: Xu Chang'an

[Age]: 29

[Destiny Value]: 1,887,000 (Second-Order Child of Destiny)

[Physique]: Undying Dao Body

[Realm]: First Order of the Heavenly Dao Realm

[Combat Power Score]: 79

[Introduction]: Pure bloodline of the Xu family, a ten-thousand-year-old imperial clan, possesses the Undying Dao Body, and controls the Blood Spirit Pearl.

"Ding… Congratulations, you have triggered the mission [Clear Xu Chang'an's Destiny Value to Zero], Mission Reward: [Destiny Value +500,000], [Peak-Level Sword Intent], [Sealed Dust Sword Art]."

Xu Fengqiu roughly understood the logic behind this system triggering missions.

Those whose character wasn't very good, or who had grudges against him, or who would hinder his progress, were likely to be killed.

And those whose character was good and who were helpful to him were very likely to trigger other missions.

Xiao Li, Luo Liuli, including Chu Ran.

Even if this Xu Chang'an didn't trigger a mission, Xu Fengqiu would definitely kill him.

The reason was very simple.

What was the premise of the Xu Fengqiu from Earth transmigrating into this body?

The original owner died!

A dignified Immortal Emperor died, who was responsible?

Xu Chang'an's family.

As for who poisoned him to death, it was likely a top-level poison on the continent.

Perhaps, when they saw Xu Fengqiu appear unharmed on the wedding day, they were also dumbfounded.

And what Xu Fengqiu wanted to do was that he would definitely unify the Xu family's power.

Xu Buhui sipped his tea and said, "Xu Fengqiu, your arrival is just right. This time, our Xu family faces a disaster of annihilation. For the sake of the entire Xu family, we have discussed that we have no choice but to hand you over."

Xu Fengqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Xu Buhui: "Are you the family head, or is my father the family head? Do you have the authority to decide?"

"You!"

Xu Buhui bit his teeth and snorted coldly: "This old one is only representing the many Xu family experts to make a suggestion."

Xu Fengqiu: "If you're going to make a suggestion, then have the attitude of making a suggestion. People who don't know would think that you're the one who calls the shots in this Xu family."

"Hmph!"

"Also."

Xu Fengqiu glanced at Xu Chang'an and asked: "Xu family high-level meeting, what are you doing sitting here? What is your identity, Xu Chang'an? Xu family young master? Or Immortal Emperor?"

"You!" Xu Chang'an pointed angrily at Xu Fengqiu but was speechless.

"Hmph! I'll see how you resolve this. Farewell." Xu Chang'an flung his sleeves and walked out angrily.

Xu Buhui, including some of the top experts of his lineage, didn't have very good expressions.

"Father, esteemed elders." Xu Fengqiu then bowed to them.

Xu Tianyi, who had been silent all along, nodded: "Yes, Qiu'er, if you have any thoughts, just say them."

Xu Fengqiu sat there, looking at everyone, and said: "Since this matter was done by this emperor, then this emperor naturally has a way to resolve it. Everyone doesn't need to worry about the Xu family. This fire, this emperor guarantees, will not burn the Xu family no matter what. There's no need for everyone to take action. Everyone can do what they need to do."

After speaking, Xu Fengqiu walked out.

The others looked at each other.

"Heh! Won't burn the Xu family? What do you rely on? Relying on your Immortal Emperor First Order cultivation to contend against the Medicine Emperor Sect, Misty Peak, and Liu Yunyan's Killing Pavilion? Ridiculous, Medicine God Mountain doesn't even know if it will take action."

An old man snorted coldly.

"Truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking that just because he has advanced to the Immortal Emperor realm, he can do whatever he wants. Far from it, you think too simply of them."

"Being an Immortal Emperor at a young age, but not being able to reach that state of mind, is not a good thing."

"… …"

Xu Buhui snorted coldly in his heart.

Acting mysterious.

Still saying there's no need for them to take action?

Unless you, Xu Fengqiu, really go to Misty Peak yourself to exchange your life for a life.

Otherwise, what the hell are you relying on to contend against them?

Xu Tianyi also frowned.

To be honest, not needing the Xu family to take action?

What abilities does his son have?

He, as a father, was increasingly unable to understand his son.

"Report!"

A figure ran in.

"Speak." Xu Tianyi said.

"Medicine God Mountain has announced to the world that it will take action together with the Medicine Emperor Sect and Misty Peak."

Hua—

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately became chaotic.

"What? Medicine God Mountain is also going to take action? This?"

"What do we do now? Our Xu family can still fight against Misty Peak and the Medicine Emperor Sect, but adding Medicine God Mountain, and even the Killing Pavilion, the Xu family is doomed!"

"Family Head, hand over the young master, otherwise our ten-thousand-year-old imperial clan will be removed from the continent in this battle."

"This old one suggests that it's best to hand over the young master. Does our Xu family have to atone for the mess he made with everyone's lives?"

"… …"

Xu Tianyi coldly swept a glance at the noisy crowd and said, "Didn't everyone hear what Qiu'er said just now? This fire won't burn you, you can shut your mouths."

After speaking, Xu Tianyi got up and walked away.

Xu Buhui sneered and said in a strange tone:

"The family head is right, everyone don't worry, didn't Xu Fengqiu say that he can resolve it alone? Then let's see how he resolves it."
