Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

The vast Carefree Pavilion had turned to ruins.

Dust billowed up, and corpses covered the ground.

Before this...

No one knew that the infamous Xue Yilou was hidden within the Carefree Pavilion, and when Xue Chou appeared in front of everyone, they all thought Xiao Yi had kicked an iron plate.

Even Li Qing didn't think Xiao Yi would be a match for Xue Chou.

But now...

Powerful as he was, Xue Chou had already been reduced to scattered pieces of corpse.

Xiao Yi looked at the head of Xue Chou, eyes wide open in fury, lifted his foot, and with a loud 'bang,' he crushed it. Xue Yilou dared to lay hands on Fang Qingzhu, and that was a violation of his inverse scales.

A dragon's inverse scales, touch them and you die!

Xiao Yi's inverse scales, likewise, must not be infringed!

"Xiao, these are the treasures we found in the Carefree Pavilion, and also Xue Chou's storage ring!" Li Qing wiped the blood off the storage ring with the corner of his clothes and presented it to Xiao Yi.

There were a total of five storage rings.

Xiao Yi took them and briefly examined them.

Inside Xue Chou's storage ring, apart from some precious medicinal herbs, elixirs, spirit weapons, and secret manuals, there were also a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, ten middle-grade spirit stones, and one top-grade spirit stone.

As for the other four storage rings, they contained nearly a billion silver, as well as some property deeds and land titles.

These items were of little use to Xiao Yi. He casually tossed the billion silver and the deeds to Li Qing, saying, "Commander Li, you've worked hard. The things inside, distribute them to the brothers!"

"This..."

Li Qing was astonished.

A billion silver, plus property and land deeds, worth no less than two billion, just given away like that?

Xiao Yi waved his hand. "Go on and distribute them!"

Gulp!

Li Qing swallowed hard. Although he was a commander of the Black Dragon Cavalry, he had many expenses for his cultivation and a large family to support, with not much property.

These billions, even if he could only get a portion, would allow his family not to worry about expenses for more than a decade.

"Thank you, Xiao!"

Li Qing gave Xiao Yi a serious fist salute, then shouted to the few hundred Black Dragon Cavalry, "Brothers, Xiao has distributed treasures worth two billion silver to us, shouldn't we thank Xiao?"

Hisss!

All the Black Dragon Cavalry sucked in a breath of cold air.

Grateful glances turned toward Xiao Yi. They could hardly wait to swear loyalty right then and there, "Thank you, Xiao, for your generous reward!"

"Xiao is mighty!"

Everyone shouted one after another.

Xiao Yi smiled, then looked at Li Qing. "Commander Li, I'll leave this place to you; I have other business and must leave now!"

"Rest assured, Xiao, we have this covered!" Li Qing replied.

Li Qing clutched the storage ring tightly in his hand and muttered to himself, "One must never be an enemy of Xiao! Great Prince Jiang Shanhe... you'd better take care of yourself."

...

Xiao Yi made his way to the Treasure Pavilion.

The guards at the entrance, upon seeing Xiao Yi, came forward eagerly, saying warmly, "Xiao, Elder Yan has awakened. He instructed me to wait here. Once you arrive, I will take you to see him!"

"Lead the way!"

Xiao Yi nodded.

A moment later...

He saw Elder Yan in the Treasure Pavilion, lying on a cot covered in medicinal salve. Beside him stood an elder as well as a chubby middle-aged man.

The elder was conversing with Elder Yan, while the middle-aged man stood by with a sycophantic smile on his face.

This middle-aged man was Zhang Kang, who had previously driven Xiao Yi out.

"Why is it him?"

Zhang Kang saw Xiao Yi walking in, frowned, and angrily shouted, "Boy, who gave you the audacity to barge into the Treasure Pavilion? Guards, break this ignorant kid's legs and throw him out!"

He had previously offended Xiao Yi in an attempt to flatter Chen Di.

And lost a batch of spirit weapons.

This affair caused him to be severely reprimanded and he even forfeited a year's salary.

He wished he could slaughter Xiao Yi!

"Scram!"

With a casual slap from Xiao Yi, Zhang Kang cried out in agony as his head slammed hard against the floor.

"How audacious!"

The elder sitting by the bed's face darkened as he bellowed out loudly.

Struggling up from the ground, Zhang Kang, with a face full of blood, pitifully looked at Chen Fu, "Pavilion Master, do you see what this mongrel has done to me? You must seek justice for me..."

Chen Fu nodded indifferently, "Rest assured, I will indeed seek justice for you!"

Zhang Kang looked triumphantly at Xiao Yi, for Chen Fu was at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm Peak and was particularly protective of his own. In Zhang Kang's view, Xiao Yi daring to assault him in front of Chen Fu meant certain death, "Hehe, you mongrel, your doom is sealed!"

However...

Chen Fu's slap landed on his face instead.

Smack!

Zhang Kang was sent tumbling to the ground, his teeth shattered from the blow, and he looked at Chen Fu in stunned confusion, "Pav..., Pavilion Master, you hit the wrong person..."

"It's you I'm hitting! Open your dog eyes and look clearly, this is Xiao Yi, the top warrior of the Teng Long List. How dare you be so disrespectful to him?"

Chen Fu huffed coldly. He had deduced Xiao Yi's identity upon seeing him; Xiao Yi was not just the top warrior of the Teng Long List but also the savior of Yan Mingli.

How could Chen Fu, as Yan Mingli's senior brother, side with Zhang Kang?

"What? The top of the Teng Long List? Xiao... Xiao Yi?"

Zhang Kang's head buzzed dully as he collapsed onto the ground, his face filled with despair.

This was the very same man who had slain the master of Mingjian Manor and defeated the Great Prince Jiang Shanhe!

He was an existence who could crush Zhang Kang like an ant.

And he had foolishly provoked Xiao Yi?

"Please spare me... Young Master Xiao, please spare my life..." Zhang Kang, sobbing bitterly, crawled and rolled over to Xiao Yi.

Chen Fu snorted coldly, "Someone, take Zhang Kang away, investigate if he has engaged in any dereliction of duty during his term. Should anything be uncovered, execute him without hesitation!"

"Yes, sir!"

Two strong men immediately entered, carrying away the limp Zhang Kang.

He had embezzled quite a bit during his time in charge; if that was discovered, there would be no escaping death!

At this moment, Zhang Kang was full of regret.

Why did he provoke such a formidable person?

Alas, there's no medicine for regret in this world...

Chen Fu looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, "Young Master Xiao, are you satisfied with how I've dealt with this?"

"Hmm."

Xiao Yi nodded, then turned to Elder Yan, "How is Elder Yan's injury?"

"Thanks to Young Master Xiao's fortune, the injury didn't affect me fundamentally..." Yan Mingli was speaking as he tried to sit up, but Xiao Yi stopped him.

Xiao Yi said, "Since Elder Yan is alright, I can rest easy. This hundred low-grade spirit stones should help Elder Yan recover sooner!"

"How could I possibly accept this?" Yan Mingli hurriedly refused.

Xiao Yi didn't entertain any discussion and placed the spirit stones into his hands.

Chen Fu nodded slightly on the side, hesitating for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "Young Master Xiao, do you have a battle scheduled with the Royal Martial Arts Academy in seven days?"

"Hmm."

Xiao Yi nodded, looking puzzled at Chen Fu. The news had already spread throughout the Tianqing Kingdom, why would Chen Fu ask something he already knows?

Chen Fu said gravely, "I see Young Master Xiao being so young with such cultivation, and I thought the Royal Martial Arts Academy would have been unable to bother you before. But now, it might not be the case!"

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Chen Fu said seriously, "I have received news that the Great Prince has gotten full support from the Royal Martial Arts Academy and has reached the Tenth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm. Moreover, Zhou Yuan obtained a Martial Dao Divine Fruit from the Tao Tribulation Realm's secret chamber, using it to break through to the Calamity Realm."

Xiao Yi's expression slightly changed.

The Golden Core Realm and the Calamity Realm were completely different concepts!

With Xiao Yi's current strength, if he faced several warriors at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak alone, he would have no fear. However, facing a warrior of the Calamity Realm was problematic.

"It seems I need to hurry up and break through to the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core Realm, or even to the Peak!" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, contemplating to himself.

He had enough spirit stones to support a breakthrough to the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core Realm, but with less than seven days until the battle, there might not be enough time!

Chen Fu wore a smile as if he held a winning hand, "Young Master Xiao, you must be aware of the power behind my Treasure Pavilion! If you join the Treasure Pavilion, with its backing, not even Zhou Yuan would dare to touch you with ten times the courage. What do you think?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Chen Fu and walked over to Yan Mingli, patting him on the shoulder, "Rest well, and come find me once you're healed!"

With that,

Xiao Yi headed straight for the door, "How could a man of honor live at the mercy of others?"

"A good bird chooses a tree to nest in. How can that be considered living at the mercy of others?" Chen Fu hadn't expected Xiao Yi to refuse his proposition and said gravely, "Without the support of the Treasure Pavilion, you are bound for a one-way journey!"

Xiao Yi replied indifferently, "Then it shall be a one-way journey!"
