Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

In the middle of the night.

Despite the darkness, the entire Royal Capital was brightly lit, and countless individuals were unable to sleep this night.

Tomorrow was the day of the challenge between Xiao Yi and the Royal Martial Arts Academy.

Whether it was powerful martial artists or ordinary citizens, everyone was eagerly anticipating this moment.

Ever since the decline of the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy five hundred years ago, no one had dared to challenge the authority of the Royal Martial Arts Academy. Xiao Yi's emergence had become the hope to shake this overlord, and many were longing for him to accomplish this feat.

Under that night sky...

A few figures quietly left the Royal Capital, heading straight for the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

The silent Tianqi Martial Arts Academy was filled with the sounds of birds and insects.

A gentle breeze blew through the leaves, accompanied by the rustling noises, it was exceptionally tranquil.

In front of Fang Qingzhu's separate dwelling, Fang Qingzhu, Niu Dali, the Shi Family's four brothers, and the seventh prince Jiang Tai were seated around a bonfire.

Niu Dali stared at the roaring flames before him, the orange-red glow reflecting on his face. Even though it was midnight, he was full of energy: "I just can't fall asleep!"

"Yeah, I've tried counting thousands of sheep while lying in bed, but still can't sleep!" Shi Yaoqian yawned and said with a wry smile.

Jiang Tai looked helplessly at everyone and saw Fang Qingzhu frowning slightly with a touch of worry between her brows. He then smiled and said, "Qingzhu, don't worry too much. The Principal and I will also go there tomorrow. If Xiao runs into any danger, the Principal will definitely take action!"

"Hmm!"

Fang Qingzhu nodded. Just as she was about to speak, the Little Lin in her arms suddenly leapt out.

The small creature was tense, standing upright, staring intently at the pitch-black sky, and hissing anxiously.

"What's going on?"

"Is someone there?"

Jiang Tai and the others' expressions changed. They saw in the space under the starry sky, ten figures shot through the air. Leading them was the Great Prince Jiang Shanhe, clad in brocade robes, his face wore a cold expression: "All here? That saves me the trouble of looking for you all!"

"Jiang Shanhe? What are you doing here?" Jiang Tai's face changed, and he demanded.

Although his cultivation had reached the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, the Jiang Shanhe before him had reached the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover...

The nine people behind him, each one was a strong practitioner of the Golden Core Realm.

All were celestial-level students of the Royal Martial Arts Academy.

In contrast, they only had Jiang Tai and Little Lin with the combat prowess of the Golden Core Realm. Jiang Tai stepped in front of Fang Qingzhu and lowered his voice, "Qingzhu, we'll hold them off. You run to the back mountain immediately."

"Run? None of you are going anywhere!"

Jiang Shanhe sneered, gesturing with his hand, "Leave Jiang Tai to me, take the others back. If they resist, kill them on the spot!"

"Yes!"

The nine Golden Core Realm experts attacked at the same time.

"I'd like to see who dares to touch them!"

Jiang Tai was furiously outraged, standing firm in front of everyone.

Jiang Shanhe snorted, "You piece of garbage thinks you can stop me?"

Hum!

A silver energy swirled uncertainly in the palm of his hand, as the Tenth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm's cultivation burst forth in an instant, a vast surge of energy rolling toward them. With Jiang Shanhe's cultivation and strength far surpassing Jiang Tai's, the latter had no chance to block him at all.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

Jiang Tai was sent flying backward, trampled to the ground under Jiang Shanhe's foot.

At the same time.

The other nine experts also captured Fang Qingzhu and the remaining people. Each one had a lute lock in their hand, piercing through everyone's shoulder blades, sealing their cultivation. Fang Qingzhu's shoulders were drenched in blood as she shouted towards the trembling Little Lin who was facing two Golden Core Realm experts, "Run... Little Lin, you need to run..."

Hiss...

Little Lin looked at Fang Qingzhu anxiously.

As Fang Qingzhu's complexion grew paler, though she had some days of recovery, she was still not fully healed, and she cried out, "Go find Xiao Yi..."

Hiss!

Little Lin swiftly slinked away to the side.

"Think you can escape? Die!"

Great Prince Jiang Shanhe pointed a finger, and his ice-cold elemental power transformed into a massive pillar, which with a booming sound, struck Little Lin. The attack sent Little Lin flying, pieces of its silver Scale Armor sprinkled with blood fell to the ground. After struggling for a moment on the ground, Little Lin vanished into the darkness with a swish.

"Your Highness, the beast has escaped…" a Martial Artist of the Third Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm reported back, his pursuit fruitless.

Jiang Shanhe waved his hand dismissively, "Just a beast; let it run. Take them all back immediately!"

"Yes!"

Nine people flew away, escorting Fang Qingzhu, Niu Dali, and the four brothers of the Shi Family.

"Jiang Shanhe, you're shameless. If you're so brave, go challenge Xiao directly. What kind of man does this make you?" Jiang Tai roared in humiliation and anger.

"My dear brother, in this world, it's survival of the fittest. Mercy is just asking for death!"

With a sneer, Jiang Shanhe leaned forward, patting Jiang Tai's face, "Didn't you put all your hopes on Xiao Yi? Tell him I'll be waiting at the Royal Martial Arts Academy, hahaha…"

Whoosh!

Jiang Shanhe rose into the sky and disappeared into the night. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

"Damn it…"

Jiang Tai struggled to his feet, the suddenness of it all turning his face into an ugly grimace, "This is trouble… With Fang Qingzhu in Jiang Shanhe's hands, Xiao Yi will surely hesitate, what to do now?"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two sharp sounds of breaking through the air suddenly approached.

It was Gu Junhe and Xiao Yi, one after the other, landing in the courtyard.

Seeing the blood on Jiang Tai's mouth and the footprint on his face, as well as the disheveled courtyard, Gu Junhe's brow furrowed, "What exactly happened?"

Xiao Yi, with the blood-covered Little Lin in his arms, urgently asked, "Where are Qingzhu and the others?"

Jiang Tai said with self-reproach, "Headmaster, Xiao... it's my fault for not being able to protect them. Just now, Jiang Shanhe and nine Martial Artists of the Golden Core Realm launched a surprise attack and captured Qingzhu and the others..."

Gu Junhe's expression turned extremely grim, "I apologize, I was busy with my cultivation and didn't anticipate their shameless behavior, failing to save Qingzhu and the others in time..."

"Don't blame yourselves... I'm the only one to blame. I thought that after wiping out the Jia and Yun families along with Xue Yilou, no one would dare lay hands on Qingzhu and the rest... It's all my fault... all my fault…" Xiao Yi said, blaming himself, slapping his head with his hands, his eyes bloodshot.

Boom!

Suddenly, a surge of elemental energy burst forth from Xiao Yi's body.

It turned into a tornado that enveloped his whole body.

Dust was kicked up from the ground.

Auras of Evil Qi swirled around him.

The horrifying intent to kill caused the temperature in the vicinity to drop considerably.

"Rage-driven madness?"

Gu Junhe's expression changed.

Ordinary people, when faced with great upheaval, would go mad, commonly known as going insane!

For Martial Artists caught in such a situation, it is referred to as rage-driven madness.

At best, they would fall into the demonic path and become bloodthirsty demons; at worst, their cultivation would be completely destroyed, leaving them beyond redemption!

Just as Gu Junhe was about to intervene.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

All 45,000 God Sealing Seeds inside Xiao Yi trembled simultaneously, and the figures sealed within the Seeds, including the Reaper Scholar, Bian He, and Sword Demon Dugu, all shone brilliantly.

These radiant lights shrouded Xiao Yi.

His body shook violently.

Hum!

Xiao Yi's cultivation leaped forward, stepping into the Tenth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm.

The fierce and violent aura within the air then finally dispersed.

He had actually used the stimulation of rage to achieve a breakthrough in his realm.

At the Tenth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, the power emanating from 50,000 God Sealing Seeds brought Xiao Yi's combat strength to a higher level!

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and exhaled, his clear eyes reflecting the flames scattered around. Underneath the orange glow of the flames, his lips curled into a subtle, sinister smile as he spoke in a cold and menacing tone, "Very well, Jiang Shanhe, very well, Royal Martial Arts Academy. I, Xiao Yi, swear here that if I do not slaughter every last one of you at the Royal Martial Arts Academy, I shall no longer consider myself human!"
