Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

When a Golden Core Realm expert is determined to escape, even another of the Golden Core Realm would find it hard to pursue.

Xiao Yi could only watch helplessly as Jin Ze fled, his gaze falling upon the remaining disciples of the Nine Profound Sect, whose complexions suddenly changed.

Even Jin Ze of the Golden Core Realm had been chased away; how could they dare to contend against Xiao Yi?

Thump, thump!

One after another, the strong members of the Nine Profound Sect knelt on the ground, with faces full of flattery and pleading, "Xiao, spare our lives, ah! We, we have never killed any of the Hu Family!"

"We were just following orders..."

Xiao Yi looked towards Hu Qingbi, "Did any of them lay a hand on you?"

Hu Qingbi and the others pointed out five among them.

Xiao Yi flicked his fingers, and the heads of those five Nine Profound Sect disciples separated from their bodies, terrifying the remaining few even more. Xiao Yi indifferently said, "Go back and tell Jin Ze that if the Nine Profound Sect wants to seek revenge on Xiao Yi, I welcome them anytime!"

"We, we will definitely relay your words to Elder Jin!"

"Xiao, Xiao, can we, we leave now?"

The crowd was visibly nervous.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, "Scram!"

"Thank you, Xiao, for your mercy in sparing our lives!"

The few people hurriedly rolled on the ground and left the martial arts field.

Xiao Yi neutralized the effects of the Muscle-locking Powder on Hu Qingbi and the others. The Hu Family had suffered great losses this time; a third of the senior members had died, but thanks to Xiao Yi's defeat of Jin Ze, the reputation of the Hu Family in Iron Mountain City had risen even higher.

It's no exaggeration to say...

Within Iron Mountain City, definitely no one would dare to oppose the Hu Family again.

As for the Nine Profound Sect.

With the defeat of Jin Ze as a precedent, and with the words brought back by those few, they would inevitably be wary of attacking the Hu Family before taking down Xiao Yi.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although the loss of powerful members in the family was severe, for the Hu Family, the gains were greater than the losses!

"Xiao Yi, thank you for saving us!" Hu Qingbi looked at Xiao Yi earnestly and said, "I don't know how to repay you!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand, smiling, "I owe your father a favor, naturally I need to protect the Hu Family." He paused, then Xiao Yi continued, "I believe the Nine Profound Sect won't trouble you again for a while; during this time, you should concentrate on strengthening your family's power!"

"Don't worry!"

"Rest assured, Xiao, now that my Hu Family is unrivaled in Iron Mountain City, no one can threaten us!"

Everyone said one after another.

With keen insight, Hu Qingbi stared at him, "You... are you leaving?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I have matters to attend to back in the royal capital, but don't worry, I will return after a while. When that time comes, I have a surprise for the Hu Family!"

"Alright, I'll wait for your return..." Hu Qingbi bit her lip and said.

After chatting briefly, Xiao Yi left on his own.

Watching the direction he left in, an elderly woman in the Shentong Realm said to Hu Qingbi by her side, "Miss, since you like Xiao, why not tell him so?"

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I ever say I liked him?"

Hu Qingbi's cheeks tinged with red as she glared fiercely at the old woman, muttering to herself in a voice only she could hear, "Someone like him... how could he possibly be within my reach?"

......

On the royal road leading to the capital.

Xiao Yi rode his steed at a gallop when a young monk appeared in the middle of the road ahead, wearing monk's robes, with his right hand held in a palm shape at his chest and his left hand holding a gray alms bowl.

The monk had his eyes slightly closed, standing still in the middle of the road like a wooden stake.

"Whoa..."

Xiao Yi pulled the reins tight, staring at the monk standing before him.

The young monk opened his eyes, chanting Amitabha Buddha, radiating an august presence, and said with a smile, "Why doesn't benefactor ride over this poor monk?"

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "I bear no grudge against you, why would I ride over you?"

"The poor monk has blocked the benefactor's path!" the young monk said.

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "This road is so wide, if you block here, I can simply pass by the side!"

The young monk smiled and said, "What if someone blocked the path of the benefactor's life?"

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Monk, did you wait here specifically for me?"

Amitabha!

The young monk brought his palms together and said with a smile, "This monk's Dharma name is Dao Yuan. I've had the pleasure of meeting you, Xiao."

"So you really were waiting here for me!"

Xiao Yi shrugged nonchalantly and asked with interest, "Monk Dao Yuan, we have never met before. Why have you stopped me?"

Monk Dao Yuan said, "Xiao, you have yet to answer the question of this poor monk!"

Xiao Yi replied, "The journey of life is so very long, isn't it? Obstacles and obstructors are bound to be encountered. Kick them aside and continue on one's way; that's what one does!"

"What if they are persistent and refuse to let go?"

"Then kill them!"

Amitabha!

Monk Dao Yuan brought his palms together, shook his head, and let out a light sigh, "Xiao, you have committed far too many killings. Better to join this poor monk in traveling to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to study the Buddhist Law and transform the malignant energy within you. Otherwise, you may someday be corrupted by it and become a calamitous devil to the human world!"

"Study the Buddhist Law? I have no fate with your Buddha. Monk, please step aside!" Xiao Yi said with a frown.

"Xiao, you do have a fate with Buddha. I am willing to convert you with Buddhist teachings, come with this poor monk!"

Monk Dao Yuan brought his palms together, chanting the Buddha's name, as Buddhist chants flowed from his mouth. They were like thunder shaking the heavens, as well as Sanskrit enchanting one's surroundings, possessing the power to mesmerize and bewilder.

Those of weak will might find their minds collapsing under its influence, easily swayed this way and that.

Xiao Yi's body shuddered, shaking off the influence of the Buddha's chant and speaking with an icy face, "Monk Dao Yuan, I have no fate with your Buddha. I ask you to let me pass!"

"Amitabha... Xiao, the Evil Qi within you is too strong. If not converted by Buddhist Law, you will fall into a devil's role, bringing calamity to the human world, still..." Monk Dao Yuan continued with a face of righteousness.

"Bullshit!"

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, scoffing, "Devil? Do not say that I cannot become a devil, even if there comes a day that I do, I will make sure there are no Buddhas in this world! Little monk, your Buddha cannot convert me!"

"If you remain so unenlightened, this poor monk has no choice but to act on heaven's behalf!" Monk Dao Yuan brought his palms together and bowed deeply to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was momentarily startled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

He saw that the bowing figure of Monk Dao Yuan suddenly became blurry, it was only an afterimage.

"Buddha saves all living beings!"

Dal Yuan's voice came from above, as a golden palm imbued with Buddha's light descended from the heavens, aiming straight for Xiao Yi's head.

Is this really Buddha saving all living beings?

It's more like sending someone to the Western Paradise!

A cold light flickered in Xiao Yi's eyes, his legs kicked against the stirrups, and his body soared into the air, while his fist smashed into the void, "Vajra Vanquishing Demons!"

Boom!

Fist and palm collided, the thunderous noise was deafening.

Wow!

Monk Dao Yuan spat out blood and flew backward, while Xiao Yi gracefully landed back onto his horse, squinting his eyes and scrutinizing Dao Yuan, "Monk, we have no grudge or grievance. Why did you stop me?"

Amitabha!

Monk Dao Yuan brought his palms together, his face full of regret, "No wonder you were able to kill Zhuge Shuangdao; you truly possess some skill!"

"You've come to avenge Zhuge Shuangdao?" Xiao Yi asked, narrowing his eyes.

Monk Dao Yuan shook his head and spoke with justified words, "This poor monk is only here to convert a devil. It's a pity that my skills are not sophisticated, and my Buddhist teachings are not deep enough to match you. It seems today's attempt at converting you has failed. However, I believe we will meet again soon. At that time, this poor monk will surely convert you with Buddhist teachings properly!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Monk Dao Yuan vanished from sight in a whiff of smoke.

Xiao Yi: "..."

So this guy had come for Zhuge Shuangdao?

Shaking his head.

Xiao Yi did not think further and rode his steed, dashing towards the royal capital.

After Xiao Yi had left, Monk Dao Yuan's figure sprang out from the bushes, watching the direction of his departure and suddenly vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.

Squinting his eyes, there was no longer the solemnity of reciting Buddha's name, but rather a chill so cold it seared, "Brother Ge, it seems I alone am insufficient to avenge you. But rest assured, I've already contacted several senior brothers. With them taking action, we will surely kill this devil to accompany you in death!"
