Chapter 203: Chapter 183: Five Comets Charging at Demon Country (4200+ Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

Thirty minutes later, in the grand hall of the Xiao Family Mansion, figures gathered.

In the center of the hall, seated in the principal seat, was a middle-aged man with eyebrows sharp as swords, a straight nose, dressed in a dark golden robe, wrapped with a nine-section jade belt, and wearing a jade crown, waiting for news.

This man is the current Family Head Xiao, Xiao Yuanshan, the son of the previous local Colonel, currently at the Heavenly Pass Tao Seed realm.

At this moment, two people walked quickly into the hall, one after the other, immediately attracting the attention of everyone inside.

After the person in front came in, he immediately took hold of the balustrade, bowed to the front and to both sides, and said, "Father, I have inquired about the news. The Government Army has started to lock down the Prefecture, but according to an acquainted Colonel, they have only received the order to lockdown, with no other actions taken, they have only received this command."

As these words fell, the originally tense and solemn atmosphere in the hall slightly relaxed, sighs of relief were heard, followed by scattered whispers.

"That scared me, the sudden movement of the Government Army, I thought the Demons were attacking."

"Yes, but what’s this situation, the Government Army locking down the city gates but not taking any further actions, and there’s no news of any Devil Race movements from the west."

"..."

At this point, Xiao Yuanshan on the principal seat frowned, "Did you not find out any more specific news?"

In front, the Eldest Son of Xiao Family shook his head, "Father, with the incense relationships between the Xiao Family and those few, there is no need to deceive us, they indeed only received this one order."

Upon hearing this, the Family Head Xiao’s eyes flickered, thoughtfully said: "The sudden assembly of the Government Army to seal the city must have a reason; it cannot be aimless, there must be a battle coming, otherwise they wouldn’t do this."

These words fell, and there were low exclamations in the hall.

"Father, what about little sister’s party?" asked the Eldest Son of Xiao Family, seemingly worried.

At this moment, the green-clothed woman came out from behind the screen, bowed to her father and elder brother,

"Father"

"Brother"

"Since it’s like this now, the party should still be canceled. Zhi’er thinks, others probably aren’t in the mood either."

As these words came out, a shadowy figure who entered with the Eldest Son, had a flicker of subtlety in his eyes.

But hearing this, the Xiao Family Head saw his younger daughter, a softness appeared on his tough face, "Zhi’er, ever since your mother passed, we still have to host your birthday, and now that the city is under lockdown, some uncles and cousins probably also want an opportunity to talk, don’t think too much, your father and your brothers will arrange it well for you, just be happy."

Xiao Qingzhi, knowing she could not defy her father’s wishes, nodded her head without saying much.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan’s gaze fell on his elder son, thought for a moment, and said, "There is no need to worry too much, now not only has a Colonel from the Ninth Mountain arrived at Guang’an Prefecture, but disciples from the renowned Shu Mountain Sword Sect have also come to support. Tomorrow go and send invitations to those sect disciples, interacting with these sect disciples is good for your generation. As for Colonel Gou, and that unseen Colonel from the Ninth Mountain, I will personally go."

Though Xiao Yuanshan said this, he knew that these two would definitely not come. Though there was some acquaintance with Colonel Gou, with the current situation, where can they spare time, let alone the Colonel from the Ninth Mountain with whom he had never interacted.

However, matters were matters, attitudes must be shown, maybe some information could be gleaned.

"Yes!"

"I will go down and prepare."

The Eldest Son of Xiao Family complied, turning to leave.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan’s eyes fell on the person following behind, frowning slightly, "Qing Xiong, who is this?"

"This is my good friend Sima Pu, a Loose Cultivator, yet skilled in Martial Arts, already reached the Profound Body Peak realm, has been traveling in the Worldly Society, we met not long ago and hit it off well, his personality matches mine, he has been staying at my mansion these few days, living and eating with me, exchanging martial arts knowledge, benefiting quite a lot."

With these introductions, the people in the hall were somewhat surprised; this young-looking man had already reached the Profound Body Peak.

Could he be aiming to break through the Fourth Heavenly Barrier? They started looking at him with more importance.

This person then bowed to Xiao Yuanshan, "Sima Pu, greets Family Head Xiao."

His voice was devoid of emotion.

Xiao Yuanshan saw a slight gleam in his eyes, sizing up the person casually, and nodded, "Not bad, rare for Qing Xiong to praise someone like this; he is reckless, you need to help him out a bit more."

"I dare not!" The man bowed his head.

While the Eldest Son of Xiao Family was pleased that his friend received praise, he heard his father’s voice beside his ear, "In the future, do not rashly bring outsiders into such settings, I know you want to win this person over, dealing with sincerity, but do not lose sight of propriety."

After these words fell, Xiao Yuanshan, whose expression remained unchanged while talking, said:

"Go!"

"The child has left. Let’s go, Brother Sima!" The Eldest Son of Xiao Family’s face slightly stiffened, clearly troubled by the criticism from his father, and he left with him.

After the two came out from the main hall, they saw that "Sima Pu" noticed that the Eldest Son of Xiao Family’s expression was off, and he spoke:

"Brother Xiao, you seem troubled. Did I, in front of your esteemed father, act improperly in any way?"

"It’s just my nature. If so, I apologize to you, Brother Xiao."

As he said this, he even seriously attempted to bow and apologize.

Xiao Qingxiong quickly supported him, his face showing difficulty, "It’s nothing, just family matters. Some people objected to you coming in, my father whispered something about it, but my father appreciates you, Brother Sima."

He shifted the blame onto others.

"I’m a loose cultivator, unfamiliar with the rules, but Brother Xiao treats me so well, I shall reciprocate in the future." "Sima Pu" said emotionally.

"Brother Sima!" Xiao Qingxiong held Sima Pu’s shoulder, their eyes meeting.

"Brother Xiao!"

....

Thirty minutes later, at the eastern side of Xiao Mansion, a figure transformed into a wisp of black smoke, left Xiao Mansion, and then swiftly moved dozens of miles under the cover of night, entering a dark attic in the Southern City of Guang’an Prefecture.

That black smoke entered a room, revealing a black-robed figure, which was indeed "Sima Pu"!

However, as soon as he landed, his body wobbled, and his face began to change, his nose sharpened, and bone spurs grew on his forehead.

It was precisely the Feiyi from last night.

At this moment, in the darkness, upon its appearance, five bizarre black figures surrounded it.

"Brother Sima!"

A voice sounded.

But upon hearing this title, Feiyi couldn’t help but gulp.

"Plut"

A foul smell spewed out.

The five "people" quickly dodged, strategically retreating.

"Brother Sima, what’s this about?"

But they heard Sima Pu’s voice with a hint of irritation, "Stop calling me that."

"I can’t stand these disgusting Human Clan anymore!"

Sima Pu recalled the gaze of the Eldest Son of Xiao Family just now, felt the demonic energy in his body stirring, a person of Profound Body Realm, yet wanted to win him over with those nauseating tactics, his brow momentary sinister, filled with a murderous intent, then he looked into the darkness at several "people," and said sinisterly:

"Everyone has arrived. It seems you all received the news. Why is the Government Army of Guang’an Prefecture mobilizing, do you have any news?"

"We’ve used our channels to inquire, the Government Army of Guang’an Prefecture only received orders to blockade the city, but neither the Ninth Mountain Army nor those Jianghu Sect disciples have moved."

"Moreover, although we Devil Race are assembling Demon Soldiers, we haven’t yet issued attack orders, otherwise we wouldn’t have been oblivious. This sudden strict guard by the Government Army is indeed strange."

"Things have changed, Brother Sima, should we cancel your plan?"

Several black figures successively expressed their thoughts.

However, Sima Pu’s brow sternly rejected, his eyes shining brightly: "No, this chance is too unique. I just heard that Xiao Family will send invitations to those Sect Disciples who support Guang’an Prefecture. If we can capture them all at once, our credit might be exchanged for a Devil Blood Infusion."

This statement suddenly brightened the eyes of the five in the dark.

"What about those Taoist Soldier Realm powerhouses from the Sky Patrol Department?"

"With the Government Army moving like this, do these people still have the heart to attend the banquet? And Xiao Family doesn’t have that much influence either. The specifics will be known tomorrow."

"Plus, among the six of us, four are Tao Seeds. Even if there are a few Human Clan Heavenly Pass among the invited Clans, paired with Demon Blood Gu, if they don’t die, who will!"

"Haha"

"Good, then we’ll wait for Brother Sima’s news!"

As the covert agents of the Six Mountains plotted, far away a thousand miles from there, five comets hurtled toward the boundless Demon Country!
