Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 840 - 838 Jin Buhuan

"The Sovereign has arrived!"

The figure within the void moved with such speed that his mere physical crossing through the void caused it to shake, releasing ripples upon ripples into the space around.

A terrifying Evil Qi was so intense it made one's heart skip a beat!

In an instant, a silhouette appeared in the middle of the martial arts arena.

The newcomer was dressed in a golden-yellow robe.

With a proud look on his face, he held a golden abacus in his hand, the beads clashing against each other, emitting a succession of piercing clacks. Upon seeing the face of the newcomer, a murmur swept through the crowd, "Isn't that Mr. Jin Buhuan from the Money Gang? What's he doing here?"

"I think Jin Buhuan's aggressive approach suggests he's got no good intentions!"

"With Xiao Zhenguo's strength, could he possibly be afraid of him?"

Xiao Yi's martial accomplishments had long been known throughout Southern State.

The number of Earth Venerate Realm powerhouses who had died by his hand could be counted on one's fingers, a fearsome record that was enough to deter anyone.

Jin Buhuan was merely at the peak of the Human Venerate Realm, in everyone's eyes, he certainly couldn't pose any threat to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, with hands on the armrests, was squinting his eyes. He smelled a familiar scent on Jin Buhuan. That was clearly Little Lin's scent, which caused Xiao Yi's gaze to sharpen with alertness and caution as he spoke in a deep voice, "So it's the leader of the Money Gang. I've heard much about you!"

"Hahaha..."

With hearty laughter, Jin Buhuan's golden abacus clattered loudly. His mouth curled into a mocking smile as he said, "Xiao Yi, I have come today to bring you a gift!"

"Oh? And what gift might that be?" asked Xiao Yi.

Jin Buhuan grinned.

Clap clap!

With a slap of his hands.

From his storage ring, there suddenly flew out a cold gleam, clanging onto the ground before everyone.

It was a golden-yellow piece of Scale Armor.

The armor shone with a chilly metallic luster, and at the end of this scale was a patch of blood. Clearly, it had just been brutally peeled off, with the bloodstains not even dried yet.

Xiao Yi's pupils constricted suddenly, his body instantly tensing, as an invisible surge of murderous intent enveloped the entire martial arts arena.

This terrible Evil Qi.

Even Nantian Ao and Qiu Yiyun changed complexion drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Glancing at each other, their eyes conveyed an utter seriousness: "Could this man's killing intent be so terrifying?"

"It seems that the piece of scale Jin Buhuan brought with him isn't quite right..."

Jin Buhuan could naturally feel Xiao Yi's chilling murderous aura. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he thought to himself: The esteemed one was right; I never thought that merely a piece of scale armor could make Xiao Yi lose his composure like this!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, the murderous aura arriving swiftly and dissipating just as quickly.

Naturally, he recognized the origin of this piece of scale armor!

It was indeed from Little Lin's chest!

Since the other party had acquired Little Lin's scale, it was clear that Little Lin had fallen into their hands. Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll accept this gift from Mr. Jin, but, I'm far more curious as to where you obtained it?"

"Xiao Yi, you must recognize the origin of this Scale Armor, why pretend otherwise?"

Jin Buhuan replied with a cold smile, and then proceeded to say, "My visit today serves two purposes: first, to congratulate you on so many talented fighters willing to join your Xiaoshanhe Institute, and second, I'd like to discuss a certain transaction with you!"

"What business?"

Now that Little Lin's whereabouts were unknown, his life or death uncertain, Xiao Yi could only wait patiently.

Jin Buhuan cleared his throat and spoke, "I've long heard that three years ago, you were nothing but trash confined and imprisoned by your father and brother, yet in just a short period of three years, you've become a colossus comparable to those in the Earth Venerate Realm. I'm not asking for much—just tell me the secret of how you achieved such success in just three years, and I will return the owner of this Scale Armor to you. Otherwise..."

As he spoke.

Jin Buhuan took out an incense stick from his storage ring, gently placed it on the ground, flicked a flame to light it, and then leisurely said, "If I haven't gone back by the time this incense has burned out, someone else will deliver another part of the gift. Xiao Yi, you have plenty of time to think it over; I'm not in a hurry! Hahaha..."

Whoosh!

Jin Buhuan leaned back, and the dust on the ground whirled up, guided by the innate power, transforming into a Taishi Chair.

He then sat on it with his legs spread wide.

Looking completely at ease, he watched Xiao Yi with self-satisfaction.

Murmurs of quiet whispers rose from the crowd, "It seems that Scale Armor has an extraordinary origin for Jin Buhuan to dare use it to threaten Xiao Yi. But then again, I'm also very curious as to how Xiao Yi did it, achieving such heights in just three years!"

"Not just you. Who here doesn't want to get their hands on Xiao Yi's secret?"

"The Nantian Dynasty, the Nantian sacred lands, the Changsheng Sect... which major power wouldn't want to know this secret? But Xiao Yi's strength is just too formidable, and they don't have the absolute confidence to obtain his secrets, so they dare not act rashly!"

"Do you think Xiao Yi will spill his secrets?"

"If it were me... definitely not!"

On the high platform.

Nantian Ao narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart stirring as well.

He was very clear about Xiao Yi's growth history.

When he saw the information about Xiao Yi given to him by Nantian Wen, he learned that just three years ago, Xiao Yi had been imprisoned for eight years by his father and brother, and in the end, to breed with Tianjiao's mount, he was used as a bargaining chip to become a son-in-law.

Nantian Ao once thought it was a fake report!

Three years!

In just three short years, from having no cultivation at all, straight to the level where he could slay warriors of the Earth Venerate Realm.

That could only be described as a miracle.

Who wouldn't want to know Xiao Yi's secret?

However...

Xiao Yi's battle record was just too terrifying. The number of Earth Venerate Realm experts who had died by his hand was more than can be counted on one hand. Such a fearsome record was enough to make any faction throw a rat to avoid the dishes, hesitant to provoke Xiao Yi carelessly.

Now, with Jin Buhuan's appearance, they saw hope.

"If Jin Buhuan can really obtain the secret of Xiao Yi's rise, obtaining it from him would be much easier than directly questioning Xiao Yi!" thought Nantian Ao as he leaned back in his chair, assuming the air of someone watching a battle from the hill.

Next to him, Qiu Yiyun's eyes were also rapidly turning, making the same decision as Nantian Ao, "The moment Xiao Yi reveals his secret to Jin Buhuan, I'll immediately capture Jin Buhuan. Once we get the secret of Xiao Yi's rise, it'll only be a matter of time before our Nantian holy land becomes the chief among all sacred lands!"

Under the eager and curious gazes of the crowd.

The incense stick had almost completely burned out.

Jin Buhuan brushed off his clothes and squinted, saying, "It seems you're not going to tell me? In that case..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Xiao Yi spoke up, "Wait a moment..."
