"What? That Xiao Yan is already a Dou Zhe?!"
Late at night, within the Oba Family, Oba Pa, who had just come out of seclusion, suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Gale Bi opposite him with disbelief.
He didn't want to believe the news, but his reason told him that the other party had no need to lie.
Moreover, if it weren't for a truly major event, the dignified Clan Leader of the Gale Family wouldn't come to him in the middle of the night to discuss matters.
"Absolutely true. This news has already spread throughout the city. You can ask any clansman and you'll know. Only you still have the mood to be in seclusion at this time."
Hearing this, Oba Pa glanced at the steward waiting by the side, who nodded slightly.
In an instant, Oba Pa's face turned gloomy, and he sat back down heavily.
After a moment of silence, Oba Pa looked up at Gale Bi.
"I understand your intention. From now on, our two families will advance and retreat together. Even if that Xiao Yan has astonishing talent, it will take time for him to grow. The Xiao Family wants to dominate alone, it won't be that easy!"
As a Clan Leader, Oba Pa might not be exceptionally intelligent, but he wasn't stupid either. After reluctantly accepting the fact that Xiao Yan had already advanced to Dou Zhe, he immediately guessed why Gale Bi had come.
An eleven-year-old Dou Zhe, it was no exaggeration to say he possessed the potential of a Dou Huang.
Such a genius, let alone in Wu Tan City, even placed in the entire Jia Ma Empire, could be considered top-tier.
With such a genius appearing in the Xiao Family, one could imagine the future situation of the Oba Family and the Gale Family.
Therefore, a united front was imminent!
Even, in the future, they would have to try their best to find a way to make that Xiao Yan die young.
Of course, this would have to wait for the right opportunity.
Gale Bi nodded slightly. Many things could be understood implicitly between them, without needing to be explicitly stated.
Just then, another steward from the Oba Family walked in, bowed apologetically to Gale Bi, and then quickly walked behind Oba Pa, whispering in his ear.
As if hearing something quite surprising, a hint of doubt flashed in Oba Pa's eyes.
The steward nodded gently, indicating that it was absolutely certain.
Witnessing this scene, although Gale Bi was a little curious, he didn't ask too many questions.
"Since your residence has other important matters, this old man will take his leave first. We can meet again another day to discuss the details."
Having gotten the attitude he wanted, Gale Bi's objective had been achieved.
He immediately stood up and cupped his hands slightly, and under Oba Pa's returning salute and gaze, he left with his retinue.
Stepping out of the Oba Family's main gate, Gale Bi saw a handsome young man who looked to be only about ten years old, standing straight at the entrance, allowing the surrounding gazes to size him up without any timidity.
He should be a guest of the Oba Family...
Gale Bi speculated. Seeing the young man look over, he nodded politely and left unhurriedly with his people.
In the living room within the mansion.
Without outsiders present, Oba Pa spoke again to confirm.
"Are you sure the other party is a Da Dou Shi, and is only about ten years old?"
"Clan Leader, Dou Qi Armor Manifestation cannot be faked. I even had a feeling that the Dou Qi armor he manifested was even more impenetrable than yours, Clan Leader."
The steward who had followed him for many years answered truthfully, without the slightest concealment.
Hearing this, Oba Pa became even more confused.
A Da Dou Shi in his teens, this didn't seem like someone who could appear in Wu Tan City. He was likely from outside.
But he thought carefully for a while and couldn't think of any time the Oba Family had intersected with such a person.
"Let him in."
Soon, Oba Pa made a decision.
Now that the Xiao Family had a Xiao Yan, they would undoubtedly flourish in the future.
Perhaps, this young Da Dou Shi who came to visit was the key for the Oba Family to break the deadlock!
The steward bowed slightly and left to carry out the order.
Not long after, he led a handsome young man striding into the living room.
Oba Pa sat in the main seat, observing carefully, and became even more certain that he didn't know the other party.
Knowing that the young man was also a Da Dou Shi, Oba Pa already had sufficient regard for him, but as a Clan Leader, it wasn't good to show too much loss of face.
Immediately, he lightly tapped the armrest with his fingertips.
"This old man shouldn't know you. State your intention. What are you here for?"
The one who stepped into the living room was, without a doubt, Chen Xiao.
Glancing at Oba Pa sitting upright in the main seat, Chen Xiao compared them in his mind.
Whether it was strength or demeanor, Xiao Zhan was indeed slightly better, worthy of being one of the Eight Ancient Clans!
After a brief observation, Chen Xiao lost all interest in Oba Pa and stated his intention concisely.
"To get rid of you."
As the words fell, before Oba Pa could react, Chen Xiao's long saber was already in hand. Ice-blue Dou Qi circulated around his body, and the Mystic High-Rank Dou Skill, "Roar of the Mad Lion," was instantly activated.
The next moment, the ice-blue lion's head let out a soft roar. Under the stunned gaze of the two stewards beside him, it swept over Oba Pa, who was seated, like a whirlwind.
Boom!
The wall collapsed, and shattered wood splattered.
Looking at the place where the main seat had been, there was no trace of Oba Pa left, only scattered pieces of flesh and blood on the ground.
With the crushing difference in cultivation levels, the overwhelming power of the Dou Skill and cultivation method, and the element of surprise, Oba Pa died without any regrets.
"You... you..."
The two stewards who had witnessed the entire scene were panic-stricken. They pointed at the young man in the field with trembling fingers, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Even the Clan Leader, a Da Dou Shi, had been annihilated in a single move. They were merely Dou Shi; what could they do, what could they change?
Chen Xiao glanced at the two of them, having no desire to continue attacking. He flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
Clan Leader Oba Pa was dead. As for the rest, he didn't need to personally intervene.
Leaving the Oba Family, Chen Xiao heard the increasingly chaotic commotion behind him but was not in a hurry to return.
"Congratulations, Brother Chen Xiao, for avenging your great enemy."
From the shadows, the increasingly graceful girl in green walked out.
Chen Xiao shook his head slightly, his heart completely calm.
Perhaps it was because the enemy's strength was limited, or perhaps it was because he knew the original fate of the Oba Family. After killing the main culprit, he didn't feel much joy, only the composure of having fulfilled his duty as a son.
"Xun Er, have you notified Clan Leader Xiao Zhan?"
Before coming here, Chen Xiao had asked Xun Er to give Xiao Zhan a hint, letting Xiao Zhan know that something big would happen to the Oba Family tonight.
This was also the fundamental reason why Chen Xiao didn't continue to attack the other members of the Oba Family.
The Xiao Family would do it for him!
Furthermore, it was also a repayment for the Xiao Family's care over the years.
"I notified him long ago. Uncle Xiao Zhan is probably already gathering people and preparing to come over now."
Xun Er replied with a light smile.
If an ordinary person told Xiao Zhan that something was going to happen to the Oba Family, Xiao Zhan might scoff.
But if Xun Er said it, Xiao Zhan would not have any doubts.
"That's good. Let's just watch from the shadows here."
On the other side.
Gale Bi, who hadn't walked far, also heard the commotion coming from the Oba Family.
"What's going on? Go and take a look."
The attendant following him took the order and quickly flashed back along the original path.
In less than three minutes, the attendant returned.
"Reporting to the Clan Leader, Oba Pa is dead. The Oba Family is in chaos right now. The person who did it is suspected to be the young man we saw when we came out."
Hearing this, Gale Bi was stunned.
Immediately, he suddenly increased his speed and rushed back to the Gale Family.
"Quick, go back and gather people! We absolutely cannot let the Xiao Family get there first!"
A hint of confusion flashed across the young attendant's face. Didn't you just form an alliance with the Oba Family a few minutes ago?
What are you trying to do?
Tonight, the young attendant was taught a lesson.
The entire night, Wu Tan City was in an uproar.
Chen Xiao and Xun Er stayed in the shadows and personally witnessed Xiao Zhan leading the three Great Elders and a group of skilled Xiao Family members rushing over fiercely, charging into the Oba Family with killing intent.
Not long after, Gale Bi did the same.
Even in the end, some less conspicuous families in the city also joined in this plunder.
Morning.
The mansion that had been quite grand last night was now a complete mess.
Walking through it, there was not a single living person to be seen, only corpses all over the ground.
The various families who had benefited would not give the Oba Family any chance of revenge. Their actions were extremely ruthless, almost shaking the egg yolks out of the eggs. Only then could they feel completely at ease.
"What is Brother Chen Xiao thinking about?"
Following behind Chen Xiao, checking for any remaining dangers, Xun Er saw that he was silent and asked with curiosity.
The law of the jungle was the essence of this world. Such tragedies were happening all over the continent every day. Xun Er understood this deeply, and the demise of the Oba Family did not affect her emotions in the slightest.
This was the first time Chen Xiao had experienced something like this, and there was a slight ripple in his heart.
"Nothing, just learning from the experience."
