Chapter 77 Ch 77: Hao Family Is Here
"Grand Elder, our family is left with only one drop of Origin Sea Water. And you are telling us to take it out? And from your words, it seems that you are planning to give this treasure to Ye Xiao."
"Grand Elder, you should know how valuable a single drop of Origin Sea Water is. Even with our current wealth, we won\'t be able to buy a single drop of this treasure. After all, this treasure could not only increase the chances of a warrior breaking through to the Chaos Spirit Realm, it could also expand a warrior\'s Chaos Divine Sea greatly. Most importantly, a drop of Origin Sea Water could increase a person\'s comprehensive ability to the next level. This is a supreme treasure and now, you are planning to give this treasure to a random boy who not only humiliated our family by killing nine Peak Chaos Dust Realm warriors but also kidnapped Third Elder\'s son."
Hao Chuan spoke and was supported by every elder present in the hall. None of them want Grand Elder to take away the last drop of Origin Sea Water and give it to Ye Xiao. Even Third Elder doesn\'t want that.
Hao Lufan sighed and started shaking his head, speaking, "I really don\'t know how you all managed to cultivate to this degree with that kind of mindset. You all could not even see the big picture."
"First of all, even though the drop of Origin Sea Water is a supreme treasure, it is only for people like us. Maybe, the force behind that person called Ye Xiao has many treasures much more valuable than the drop of Origin Sea Water. But this is not the main point here. The reason why I want to give Ye Xiao the last drop of Origin Sea Water is in the hope of making him return the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda back to our family. At the same time, we could also make him release Hao Lin."
"Hao Lin is a genius of our family. He is so young but has already managed to become a Mid Stage Chaos Dust Realm warrior. He has a very high chance of breaking through to Chaos Spirit Realm. Now tell me, is a single drop of Origin Sea Water worth trading for the future Chaos Spirit Realm warrior?"
"Of course, it is."
Elder Hao Lufan\'s words immediately made everyone come back to their senses.
Just as the Grand Elder said, they could not see the big picture. They only prioritize momentary interest over lifelong benefits.
But now, they understood how foolish their train of thought actually was. Grand Elder Hao Lufan is right. Although the drop of Origin Sea Water is valuable, it is not more valuable than a future Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. At the same time, they might also make Ye Xiao return the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda to them.
Although the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda is damaged, it is still the supreme treasure of their family that could suppress countless Chaos Beasts and even Chaos Spirit Realm warriors.
"Grand Elder is right. We were indeed foolish. We will follow Grand Elder\'s command!"
Realizing their mistakes, Hao Chuan and others nodded and agreed to follow Grand Elder. They also hurriedly brought out the last drop of Origin Sea Water and left the Hao Family with Grand Elder for their destination, the Qi Family of Black Gold City.
.....
╠ Black Gold City ╣
After taking down the Lin Family and forcing the other major forces to submit, the Qi Family officially started their reign in the Black Gold City.
A few days ago, the Lin Family was destroyed. Apart from a few collateral descendants who escaped, all the direct descendants of the Lin Family were slaughtered. From then on, the Lin Family became history in the Black Gold City.
In the Qi Family\'s library, Ye Xiao opened his eyes.
In just a few days, he had already read through all the books collected by the Qi Family.
During these days, he had found a few combat skills that attracted his interest. He carefully studied them and created a few combat skills. But none of them were to his liking.
He gave them all to the forces Qi Family had forced to send their books over to him. Those families were also overjoyed to receive such benefits. At the same time, their books were also returned to them.
The strongest combat skill Ye Xiao created during the past few days was called Greater Devastation Fist. He imparted the Greater Devastation Fist Technique to Ren Sheng. Ren Shen valued friendship and loyalty, so Ye Xiao also valued him a lot.
Ren Sheng was naturally very grateful to Ye Xiao.
The only skill Ye Xiao learned from all those books was a movement skill called the Three Shadow Steps.
Ye Xiao did not have a movement skill, so he decided to cultivate this skill. He only took a few hours to master it. It was truly shadow-like. In close combat, the Shadow Steps were simply impossible to guard against, and very terrifying.
"Young Master Hao, you said that the strongest force in the Hao Family is the 500 Death Soldiers?"
Ye Xiao looked up at Young Master Hao and asked.
During this period of time, Young Master Hao had told him everything he knew. Ye Xiao had almost wrung him dry as well. Young Master Hao did not conceal any information about the Hao Family. He did not dare to conceal it because he did not want to die yet. He was already completely terrified by Ye Xiao.
"That\'s right. Once the 500 Death Soldiers deployed, they can even kill Chaos Spirit Realm warriors!" Young Master Hao replied.
"Do you think the Hao Family will send 500 Death Soldiers to deal with me?"
"I\'m not sure, but over the years, the patriarch has actually been very domineering. Moreover, that Phantom is a Peak Chaos Dust Realm beast that could even fight against a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. If nurtured properly, it can become a pillar of support to a family. Hence, my family is very likely to send 500 Death Soldiers."
Ye Xiao nodded. He showed no expression of fear or anything on his face. Instead, he actually showed a little interest in these 500 Death Soldiers.
Just like that, a few more days passed.
One day. Qi Xuan rushed into the library, saying, "Young Master Ye, something\'s come up. A few people from the Hao Family are here!"
Qi Xuan seemed to be slightly panicked.
"Oh? They\'re finally here!"
Ye Xiao opened his eyes. His gaze was as calm as still water, and he was completely unsurprised. This was because he had already been waiting for the Hao Family for many days.
"Young Master Ye, this Hao Family is not simple. Even Phantom seems to feel threatened. It has become extremely cautious and is growling at them constantly."
"Oh? Interesting. Looks like someone powerful has come from the Hao Family. Then, I\'ll go out and take a look." Ye Xiao said with a chuckle.
"And yes, Young Master Hao, you should come too."
Ye Xiao grabbed Young Master Hao. With a slight flash, he disappeared from the library.
…..
Outside the Qi Family\'s door, Ren Sheng, Fang Da, Phantom, and the others all wore solemn expressions as they looked at the dense lineup of tens of people in front of them.
"Father, is that someone from the Hao Family?"
"That\'s right, they\'re from the Hao Family!"
"They sent so many people here. The aura on their bodies is rather terrifying."
"Of course. If I\'m not wrong, then it seems all the upper echelon of the Hao Family are here!"
Fang Da\'s expression was solemn. It is because he could already feel the aura of a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior from the old man leading the group of people from the Hao Family.
It seems rumors were really rumors. The rumor said that the Chaos Spirit Realm warrior of the Hao Family has disappeared somewhere in the distant past, but the Chaos Dust Realm warrior of the Hao City was standing right in front of him.
Although Fang Da was confident in Ye Xiao, at this moment, he could not help but gasp. He looked in the direction of the library behind him. A trace of doubt also appeared in his heart.
Could Ye Xiao resist these people of the Hao Family?
But... Is the Hao Family really here to cause trouble?
After all, after arriving here, they only told Qi Xuan to invite Ye Xiao out. They did not say any arrogant words like destroying the Qi Family if the Qi Family does not give them Ye Xiao or killing Ye Xiao by cutting him into hundreds of pieces.
Instead, they simply started waiting for Ye Xiao to come out obediently.
What the hell is wrong with the Hao Family?
Are they not here to fight?
Then what are they here for?
Wait a minute. Don\'t tell me that they fear Ye Xiao might do something dangerous to Young Master Hao, so they do not dare to flare up for the time being.
