Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 871 - 869: Leaving You an Intact Corpse!

Xiao Yi and his group had just arrived at the imperial city.

This majestic and luxurious building in the Southern State, divided into eight city districts and one central imperial city district, covered vast territories, with each district's population exceeding a hundred times that of Daqian Dynasty's capital city.

To enter the central imperial city, they still needed to pass through the outer city.

This time, they were entering from the southern outer city.

They had not yet landed.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and gazed down with a slight smile on his face, "I did not expect to meet them here!"

"Hmm?"

Nantian Ao was taken aback and asked, "Xiao, do you know people in the Nantian Dynasty?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Little Lin, standing nearby, also noticed Chai Hu and Master Xun below, recalling when they were hiding their identities in Giant Peak City, and how Xiao Yi had become the Chai Family's nine-star Supreme Venerable guest!

Little Lin smiled and said, "I didn't expect Chai Hu and Master Xun to be here, boss, let's go greet them!"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, we should greet them."

Setting aside the fact he still carried the title of the Chai Family's nine-star Supreme Venerable guest, the ore distribution map they provided alone had given him much assistance.

Moreover...

He had been using a hidden identity.

Up to now, the Chai Family had no idea that their nine-star Supreme Venerable guest was none other than Xiao Yi, the recently famous Daqian Dynasty's General Xiao Yi!

However...

Just when Xiao Yi was preparing to descend, his smile suddenly froze and his eyes flashed with a hint of chill.

This chill made Nantian Ao shudder, feeling a sense of despair as if the surrounding air had become extremely oppressive, dropping in temperature by dozens of degrees. As his heart trembled, he glanced toward the ground, nearly fainting from the sight.

Before the imperial city,

Chai Hu and Master Xun looked disheveled.

When they had displayed the "Mother of Geng Metal" at the banquet, they claimed it was borrowed from Xiao Yi, but he had actually gifted it to the Chai family. Over the years, they had discreetly developed their power, and the Giant Peak City Chai Family had significantly strengthened their standing.

The ancestor of the Giant Peak City Chai Family had even used this opportunity to advance into the Earth Venerate Realm.

But...

There are no walls that prevent all leaks.

The news that a branch of the Giant Peak City Chai Family held an extraordinarily precious "Mother of Geng Metal" eventually reached the main Chai Household.

Half a month ago,

The main house, under the pretext of ancestral offerings, deceitfully called the Giant Peak City Chai Family ancestor back to the imperial city.

But after an entire half-month, the Chai Family ancestor had not returned.

With no options left, the Chai family could only send Chai Hu and Master Xun to investigate the situation in the imperial city, but before they could even enter, they encountered a formidable individual arranged by the main Chai Household.

At this moment...

Chai Hu and Master Xun were being aggressively pinned to the ground, their faces bruised and in pitiable states.

Chai Hua was stepping fiercely on Chai Hu's face, pressing his head hard against the ground and moving his heel back and forth, creating a grating noise as it rubbed against his face. Chai Hua coldly laughed, "The Third Young Master had already anticipated that you would send someone, and you indeed came!"

Chai Hu looked desperate, "Chai Hua, we are all members of the Chai family, and we have done no wrong. What right do you have to treat us this way?"

"What right? Because you people from the Chai family are ungrateful!"

Chai Hua sneered, bending over so fiercely that it was like he was trying to bury Chai Hu's head entirely into the ground, "No matter how much the Third Young Master pressed, that old man Chai Guang stubbornly refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Mother of Geng Metal. The Third Young Master, worried that making a big show would leak the information, had no choice but to wait here for you, and as expected, you came..."

In the Chai main household, the younger generation consists of five extraordinarily talented inheritors.

But his status as the heir had never been confirmed.

Chai Hua, mentioned by Mr. Chai, was one of them.

The news that Giant Peak City's Chai Family controlled a massive mother lode of Geng Metal was also accidentally discovered by Chai Yao; he orchestrated everything himself. To monopolize the mother lode, Chai Yao kept it a secret. After imprisoning Chai Guang, he appointed Chai Hua to lie in wait at the city before the Imperial City, monitoring the Chai Family members in Giant Peak City.

Chai Hu's face suddenly changed, realizing that his family elder truly was in grave danger, and he roared angrily, "Chai Hua, what exactly have you done to our elder ancestor?"

"The stubborn old man has always refused to confess and refused to pledge allegiance to the Third Young Master, so naturally, the Third Young Master would not let him off easily. Half a month ago, he destroyed his cultivation, and now he is locked in the dungeon, waiting to die!"

Chai Hua, with a look of smug satisfaction, spoke in a low voice tinged with iciness, "Chai Hu, if you don't want to end up like that old man, then obediently hand over the mother lode of Geng Metal! Otherwise, this will be your fate..."

Chai Hua glanced at the two powerful men guarding Master Xun.

The two nodded.

One of them drew a long knife with a clang, the cold gleam flashing on the blade's surface, carrying a hint of chill.

"No..."

Chai Hu yelled in despair.

Master Xun was deathly pale but stubbornly spoke, "Young Master Chai Hu, you must not tell them... Once they get the mother lode of Geng Metal, they will definitely not spare us..."

Just as Chai Hu was about to speak, his face suddenly stiffened.

"Damned old man, daring to sabotage my important affairs at the brink of death? Kill him!" Chai Hua's face changed dramatically as he bellowed hysterically.

Swish!

The long knife, emitting a cold gleam, drew a graceful arc, and was about to slash off Master Xun's head.

At this critical moment.

Swish!

A subtle whoosh sound suddenly came from the void, and the long knife, still spewing cold light, abruptly broke into two pieces, with one half remaining in the powerful man's hand. The other half, however, broke off and embedded itself in the strong man's chest, with blood dripping down the blade's tip.

Hiss...

Chai Hua gasped sharply, cold sweat rolling down, and yelled angrily, "Who? Who dares to kill a member of my Chai Family?"

"It's me!"

Xiao Yi's voice suddenly resounded.

As his figure appeared, the Chai Family powerful man holding Master Xun also screamed and flew back, exploding mid-air after flying a hundred meters, his body completely destroyed.

Chai Hua shivered, "..."

Master Xun and Chai Hu both were stunned for a moment and then looked up, only to see Xiao Yi appearing before them. Their faces couldn't help but reveal immense joy, "Lord Xiao..."

Little Lin stepped forward to help Master Xun up.

Xiao Yi glanced towards Chai Hua and said indifferently, "Let him go!"

Chai Hua came back to his senses, grabbed Chai Hu by the neck, using him as a shield, and watched Xiao Yi warily. Just Xiao Yi's ability to silently kill two men proved he was not someone Chai Hua could contend with, "I don't care who you are, this is a matter within my Chai Family, you best not interfere. Otherwise, the consequences will be beyond what you can bear..."

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Release him, and you can keep a whole corpse."

Chai Hua, furious to the point of laughter, exclaimed, "Keep my whole corpse? If you dare to make a move, I'll ensure we die together..."

"With me here, you won't be able to touch a single hair on him!"

The moment his words fell.

Xiao Yi's figure suddenly flashed, and Chai Hua's face dramatically changed. Just as he was about to react, he saw his own arm flying high. Before the intense pain could register, he saw his headless body slowly collapsing on the ground.

And his head, soaring high, tumbled through the air and crashed to the ground with a thud...
