Ling Xiao didn't expect Old Man Tian to have such a beautiful daughter.
However, he was used to seeing all kinds of beauties. Just based on the looks of his wives and concubines, none of them inferior to Tian Jiayi. Thus, he didn't have any improper thoughts about her.
"No need for formalities. Your father once helped me, so it's only right for me to help him," Ling Xiao hurriedly dodged.
"Palace Lord, if you hadn't saved me back in the mine, I would be a pile of dirt by now, let alone rid myself of that identity. You are my master, and Jiayi is my daughter. She can also be considered your maidservant, so it's only right for her to bow to you!" Old Man Tian replied.
"If you don't mind, I'm willing to follow my father by your side!" Tian Jiayi's expression was resolute.
She saw her father as the heavens and her life. Old Man Tian's words were like an imperial edict that she would carry out unconditionally.
Now that she heard that Ling Xiao had saved her father's life, she felt even more grateful towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was strong, handsome, and gave off a good vibe. Thus, she didn't mind following her father's words and worshipping Ling Xiao as her master.
She knew the meaning of the phrase "femme fatale".
A hundred years ago, she had already harmed her uncle and a few other uncles. Now, she had almost destroyed the Tian family. She might as well follow her father and leave the Tian family with Ling Xiao.
Of course, she didn't want to harm Ling Xiao. She just wanted to leave Jiangshui town and see how wonderful the outside world was.
"Old Tian, you're really something. I told you to return to the family, but now you're making your daughter a maidservant. It's as if I'm forcing a good citizen!"
Ling Xiao sighed and changed the topic. "The Xiao family should be here soon. I'll go meet them myself. If you're worried, just stay here!"
With that, Ling Xiao dashed out of the hall.
Old Man Tian wanted to chase after him, but Tian Youwei pulled him back and asked, "Second brother, who … who is this lord?"
"It's a long story, but since you're confident in taking down the Xiao family, it shouldn't be a problem. Let's go take a look first!" Old Man Tian replied.
…
In another mansion in Jiangshui Town.
This was the home of the Xiao Family, the number one family in Jiangshui Town.
The news of Xiao Zijian being captured by the Tian Family had already quickly spread here.
"Bastard, the Tian Family has eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall. They actually dared to capture Zijian. What the hell is Elder Fa doing? Didn't I tell him to accompany Zijian?" The current head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chao, slammed the table and shouted.
"Reporting to the Lord, Fa … Fa Elder was also … also captured by the Tian Family!" A Saint replied in a trembling voice.
Xiao Chao instantly stood up and looked at his subordinates. "What the hell is going on?
Could it be … could it be that the Tian family still has some old fart? "
Xiao Chao knew the ins and outs of the Tian family very well. He had allowed his son to go to the Tian family because they did not have an intermediate Holy Emperor. However, now that their intermediate Holy Emperor had been left behind, it was certain that the Tian family had something up their sleeves. He could not help but worry.
The Xiao Family had designs on the Tian Family and wanted to take over all of the Tian Family's businesses.
They had spread the news in advance to test the Tian Family's strength. Today, his son had gone to the Tian Family for the same reason.
If the Tian Family compromised, it proved that the Tian Family did not have anything to rely on. Then it would be easy for the Xiao Family to take down the Tian Family. Now it seemed that the Tian Family had something up their sleeves!
The Saint hurriedly reported the news he had received.
"So Second Brother Tian has returned. No wonder he could leave Elder Fa and Zijian behind. Could it be … he has broken through to the advanced Holy Emperor?" Xiao Chao muttered to himself.
"Lord, the one who made a move wasn't Tian Youzhi. It was the young man who returned with him. According to the report, he captured the two elders and the young master by himself," the Saint said.
"It seems that the Tian Family has really found someone to rely on. We must report this to the Old Master!" Xiao Chao's eyes flashed with some worry.
Then, Xiao Chao dashed towards the backyard.
Not long after, several terrifying auras rushed out of the Xiao Family. These people were heading in the direction of the Tian Family.
On the roof of a pavilion in the Tian Family, Ling Xiao stood on the edge of the eaves. A light breeze blew, causing his clothes to flutter. He seemed to be separated from the heavens and the earth, making him seem ethereal like a god.
Old Man Tian stood not far away, watching him like the most loyal servant.
Tian Jiayi stood by her father's side, her beautiful eyes shining with a misty light.
"If he can protect the Tian Family, then I don't mind being your servant for the rest of my life!" Tian Jiayi made up her mind.
Ling Xiao looked at the distant horizon. A few whooshing sounds came from the sky. He smiled and said, "They're finally here!"
At this time, the three Holy Emperors of the Tian Family appeared at the same time.
"Tian Youwei, how dare you capture my young master! Why don't you release him quickly, or your Tian family will be flattened today!" Before he had even arrived, a low level Saint King from the Xiao family roared out in the air above the Tian family. "Tian Youwei, you sure are bold.
"Hmph, your Xiao Family is too much. I can only keep him as a guest here!" Tian Youwei replied coldly.
At this time, the Holy Emperors of the Xiao Family appeared at the same time.
There were six of them in total. One of them was a high-level Holy Emperor, one mid-level Holy Emperor, and four low-level Holy Emperors.
This force was definitely a top-notch force in Jiangshui Town.
No wonder they dared to threaten to destroy the Tian Family. It seemed that they were determined to do so.
When the three Holy Emperors of the Tian Family saw this, they couldn't help but feel afraid. If they all attacked together, the destruction of the Tian Family would only be a matter of time!
They could only pin their hopes on Ling Xiao and hope that Ling Xiao could handle it!
"I'll say it one more time. Hurry up and release the Xiao Family. Otherwise, you should know what will happen to you!" the low-level Holy Emperor who spoke just now said sternly.
"Xiao Wu, you sure talk big. Today, our Palace Lord is here. Let's see who dares to touch the Tian Family!" Old Man Tian rebuked.
Since Ling Xiao had already decided to help the Tian Family, why not directly frighten the Xiao Family and let them know the difficulties and retreat?
"I heard that you, Second Brother Tian, have returned. No wonder your Tian Family is so confident. But do you recognize the person behind me?" the low-level Holy Emperor of the Xiao Family sneered.
Old Man Tian looked at the person beside Xiao Wu, and his eyes exploded with rage. He shouted, "So it's you, you bastard. Today, I will take your dog life to avenge my wife!"
Old Man Tian's anger soared to the heavens, and his rationality was already overshadowed. He actually wanted to kill that person without a care in the world.
"Old Man Tian, you're no match for him. Stop right now. I'm here!" Ling Xiao instantly appeared beside Old Man Tian and pressed down on his shoulder.
"Palace Lord, let me go! I must kill this bastard with my own hands for killing my wife!" Old Man Tian said stubbornly.
"Haha, Second Brother Tian, I didn't expect you to still remember what happened all those years ago. It's a pity that I didn't manage to f * ck your wife in the end. All I did was touch her breasts a few times, and she actually took her own life. What does that have to do with me?" The high-level Holy Emperor laughed proudly. He paused for a moment, then revealed a ruthless glint. "However, I was hunted down by you for three months and almost lost my life. Now it's time to repay the debt!"
Ling Xiao more or less understood why Old Man Tian was so angry.
It turned out that the person before him had once taken liberties with Old Man Tian's woman and even caused her to commit suicide. It was no wonder that Old Man Tian was so furious.
"Damned bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Old Man Tian's eyes emitted a thick, vicious aura.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was being held down by Ling Xiao, he would have charged forward even if he had to die.
However, at this moment, a figure charged towards the high-class Saint King before he did.
"Bastard, give me back my mother's life!" The figure was Tian Jiayi. She had the strength of a Saint.
"Haha, you really look like your mother, and your figure is just as great. I'll touch you and see if you're as voluptuous as your mother!" The high-level Holy Emperor smiled obscenely.
At the same time, he advanced instead of retreating. He met Tian Jiayi head-on. His old hand turned into a claw, and he ignored Tian Jiayi's attack as he tried to grab her breasts.
Tian Jiayi didn't expect him to be so shameless. Her urge to fight him to the death was instantly halved.
Just as the high-level Holy Emperor's hand was about to grab Tian Jiayi, another powerful hand appeared and grabbed the high-level Holy Emperor's hand.
"She's my maidservant. Only I can touch her. It's not your turn to touch her, you old man!" The person who grabbed the high-level Holy Emperor was Ling Xiao.
He had a faint smile on his face as if he wasn't a threat at all.
However, the moment he finished speaking, he suddenly tightened his grip.
Crack!
"Ah!"
The crisp sound of bones breaking and a shriek that sounded like a pig being slaughtered rang out in the sky above the Tian Family.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief.
They looked at Ling Xiao's handsome face, which had a faint smile on it, but it was as if they had seen a demon. It made them feel fear and dread.
"Everyone, let's kill him together!" The low-level Holy Emperor of the Xiao Family exclaimed and took the initiative to attack Ling Xiao.
"Let's kill him first!" Ling Xiao laughed coldly and kicked the high-level Holy Emperor away.
The high-level Holy Emperor's body immediately smashed into the low-level Holy Emperor's powerful attack.
Rumble!
"Damn it! Let's kill him together and destroy the Tian Family!"
The low-level Holy Emperor kept shouting and gathering all the power in his body. He began to brandish the sword in his hand, trying to destroy the Tian Family's territory.
"Do you think you have the chance?" Ling Xiao appeared behind him like a ghost and smashed his Dragon Fist into the back of the Holy Emperor's head.
The Holy Emperor's head exploded and he immediately lost all signs of life.
The other Holy Emperors who were just about to attack were scared out of their wits when they saw this scene. They actually scattered and ran away.
"Since you're here, then stay!"
Ling Xiao nonchalantly replied. The one hundred and eight clones shot off in all directions. Every single one of them possessed extremely terrifying attacks, slaying the fleeing Saint Kings one by one.
