Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 872 - 870: The Nemesis of Evil

Chai Hua's head fell to the ground, a dismembered death!

Among those present, except for Little Lin and Nantian Ao, none had seen how Xiao Yi made his move.

Master Xun and Chai Hu looked completely bewildered.

Then...

They showed an ecstatic expression.

Both knelt toward Xiao Yi and exclaimed, "Thank you, Xiao, for saving our lives..."

Xiao Yi, with a flick of his palm, helped them up and, seeing the excitement on their faces, he shook his head slightly and said, "What exactly is going on here? Aren't you all from the Chai Family? How did you end up in such a state?"

Master Xun's face changed slightly and, hesitating, chose not to elaborate.

After all, he was just a Guest Elder of the Chai Family in Giant Peak City, and it was not appropriate for him to speak out about certain matters.

Seeing this, Chai Hu could only smile bitterly and recounted the entire incident, glancing at the corpses of Chai Hua and the others on the ground, he said helplessly, "Now that Chai Hua and the others are dead, the third young master will definitely not let us off, not to mention our ancestor..."

The patriarch of the Chai Family in Giant Peak City, Chai Guang, had provided Chai Hu the opportunity to receive the ore vein distribution map, which came about through the old man's consent.

He was an extremely amiable elder.

Xiao Yi had not expected that the Mother of Pure Gold he left behind would turn out to be the chief culprit of all these problems. Although this matter did not have much to do with him, Xiao Yi did not intend to stand idly by.

He patted Chai Hu on the shoulder lightly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll help you!"

"Xiao, you..."

Chai Hu's eyes lit up, knowing full well the strength of Xiao Yi was formidable, but then he thought of the terrifying foundation and strength of the Chai Family's main household, which even included several formidable beings from the Earth Venerate Realm.

Upon this thought.

The joy on Chai Hu's face faded, and biting his lip lightly, he shook his head and said, "Xiao, I am already immensely grateful that you intervened to save us today. You should not get involved in this matter!"

Seeing the worry and determination in Chai Hu's eyes.

Xiao Yi understood that the man was concerned about the overwhelming power of the Chai Family's main household, which might affect him.

Xiao Yi patted Chai Hu on the shoulder again and said with a smile, "Since I've decided to intervene, I certainly won't stand by idly."

Nantian Ao whispered, "Mr. Xiao, I can…"

If Nantian Ao intervened with his status, not to mention the third young master, even the patriarch of the Chai Family's main household would have to give him face and smooth over the matter directly.

Xiao Yi nodded, "Then I'll trouble you with this."

With his current status, he didn't need to personally handle many issues for them to be resolved.

For Master Xun and Chai Hu, this was a matter of great importance.

But for Xiao Yi, it truly was just a trivial matter!

"You're really too polite, Mr. Xiao!" Nantian Ao grinned smilingly, aware of Xiao Yi's strength and potential, as Nantian Wen had said that Xiao Yi would inevitably become one of the strongest overlords of the Qingtian Realm.

It was precisely for this reason...

That he was willing to act as an emissary mediating between the two nations, frequently traveling between the Daqian Dynasty and the Nantian Dynasty.

He had even stayed in Xiaoshanhe Institute for almost half a month.

All for the sake of building a good relationship with Xiao Yi.

Of course.

The benefits he reaped from this were immense.

He was now on the cusp of reaching the threshold of the Heaven Venerate Realm, and if he could obtain another primeval stone from Xiao Yi's hands, Nantian Ao was confident that he could step into the Heaven Venerate Realm within three years.

The two of them effortlessly resolved the matter.

This left Master Xun and Chai Hu exchanging glances, and while swallowing nervously, Chai Hu tentatively asked, "Xiao, if I may ask, who is this...?"

Xiao Yi said nonchalantly, "His name is Nantian Ao, he will take care of this matter for you!"

Master Xun and Chai Hu were bewildered once again, staring at Nantian Ao with faces full of disbelief. Chai Hu, with a look of unease, asked, "Nan, Nantian? Are you a member of the imperial family?"

"Indeed!"

Nantian Ao grinned and said, "Since Master Xiao entrusted me with this task, I assure you it will be handled perfectly. You two just put your minds at ease!"

"Master... Master Xiao?"

Master Xun repeated the title used by Nantian Ao for Xiao Yi, suddenly widening his eyes in shock as he stared at Xiao Yi, "You... you... you are Xiao Yi, Master Xiao?"

Chai Hu was also agape: "Xiao, you... you..."

They simply couldn't imagine that their Xiao, who they casually referred to as 'Brother Xiao,' was the super genius reigning high in the Qingtian Realm, Xiao Yi?

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Let's go, follow me into the city!"

......

Drunken Fairy Tower.

This was the largest wine house in Nancheng.

The third young master of the Chai Family, Chai Yao, was indulging with two similarly dressed, noble-looking youths, surrounded by chirping and giggling ladies, toasting and flirting, creating quite a lively scene.

In the midst of their drunken revelry,

a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in from outside, whispering in Chai Yao's ear: "Third Young Master, Chai Hua is dead, and his men saw Chai Hu entering the city with Master Xun!"

"Hmm?"

Chai Yao's half-closed eyes shot open, the drunkenness on his face dissipated a bit, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes.

The Mother of Metal Geng was a secret he stumbled upon by chance.

The affairs concerning the Giant Peak City branch of the Chai Family had always been handled in secret.

If Chai Hu found his way to the head of the Chai Family and made a big fuss, allowing the other four brothers to catch wind of the Mother of Metal Geng, then all his efforts during this time would be in vain.

With this thought,

Chai Yao licked his lips with his crimson tongue, a cold look crossing his face.

Next to him...

A youth with a black mole between his eyebrows noticed the change in his expression, held up his wine cup, and burped, "Old Three, what happened? Just say the word if you need your brothers' help, there's no need for courtesy among us siblings!"

Another youth said, "Yeah Old Three, since Big Brother has spoken, what's there to feel embarrassed about?"

The two youths, the elder named Jin Ze and the younger Jin Qi,

were the sons of Jin Shuo, the commander of Nancheng's city defense forces.

Chai Yao's eyes shifted slightly. He had befriended them because of the city defense forces backing them up; feigning helplessness, he said, "What the two of you don't know is that a treasured heirloom of my family has been stolen by a thief, but this thief is from within the family, and such a disgrace should not be publicized. I intended to settle this privately, but unexpectedly, the thief is extremely cunning, not only did he kill the men I sent after him, but he also brazenly entered the city..."

Bang!

Jin Ze slammed his palm and shattered the table in front of him, furiously saying, "What? There's such a brazen villain?"

"Don't worry, Third Brother, I will dispatch a few hundred city defense soldiers immediately to help you capture the criminal!" Jin Qi waved his hand grandiosely, speaking with a breath full of alcohol, and just after he finished talking, he let out a loud burp.

Chai Yao's heart leapt with joy, but he feigned hesitation on his face: "I am deeply grateful for both of your brothers' help. It's just that, mobilizing the city defense forces is no trivial matter..."

"Afraid of what? We're just catching a couple of villains, even if father finds out he would only commend us!"

"Third Brother, where is the thief? Take us to him quickly, so we can catch him and return to our drinks..."

Urged on by the two,

Chai Yao suppressed the excitement in his heart and said solemnly, "Please follow me, you two. They just entered Nancheng not long ago; let's intercept them now!"

"Daring to steal from our Third Brother is a challenge to us!"

"We three brothers are the bane of evil..."

Amidst the alcohol-fueled bravado, a group of people strode out long and tall, heading straight for the location of Xiao Yi and his company: "No matter what kind of backing that villain has, this time they must beg for life and not find death..."
