Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

Hiss!

The death of Mysterious Sword left everyone agape and dumbfounded.

Before this…

Almost no one believed Xiao Yi could have the last laugh, especially after Rain Listening Swordsman Xue Ming's solemn prediction, everyone was convinced that Xiao Yi's death was certain.

The outcome, however,

was a harsh slap in the face for everyone.

Xue Ming, in particular, had his face figuratively swollen from the slap.

His face was filled with cold rage as he glared venomously at Xiao Yi, "You dog-like thing, if it were not for you, how could Xue be so humiliated?"

But he dared not act now.

This was, after all, the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, and the Sword Mountain Manor with a Seventh Layer Golden Core Realm master at its helm, as well as the backing of the royal family, naturally didn't fear the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy.

But he could not afford to be reckless...

He was but a Loose Cultivator.

If he dared to kill Xiao Yi in public, he would inevitably face retribution from the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, and he could only bury this grudge deep in his heart.

Xiao Yi, of course, had no idea why Xue Ming was targeting him out of the blue.

His gaze turned to the people of Sword Mountain Manor, the thirty-or-so strong men of Sword Mountain Manor seemed to freeze under Xiao Yi's stare, cold sweat dripping down, "You, you, what are you going to do?"

"We, we are from Sword Mountain Manor, I... "

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Every strike from Xiao Yi's hairpin took the life of a Sword Mountain Manor strongman, leaving only four trembling and kneeling on the ground, shivering, "Please spare us! Xiao, please spare us!"

Xiao Yi looked at the four indifferently as the hairpin danced on the stele like a dragon or snake.

Clang, clang, clang!

The sound of metal on metal rang out, sparks flying.

To the left of 'Tianlan's Shame,' four more characters were added—Sword Mountain Manor!

"Sword Mountain Manor, Tianlan's Shame!"

"This is a declaration of a fight to the death with Sword Mountain Manor..."

Everyone couldn't help but inhale sharply.

Xiao Yi's gaze was indifferent as he looked at the four and said, "If you don't want to die, carry it into the city from the Vermilion Bird Gate, and go around the city three times. Otherwise, this will be your fate!"

The four glanced at the corpses strewn haphazardly around them, shuddered, and turned deathly pale.

After exchanging looks,

the four gritted their teeth and said, "We, we will carry it!"

Xiao Yi glanced at the Shi Family four brothers and said, "Shi Yaoqian, you and your brothers follow them. If they dare to deceive me in any way, inform me immediately!"

"Don't worry, big brother!"

"We four brothers will definitely not let them skip a single step!"

The Shi Family four brothers had previously been viciously beaten by the strongmen of Sword Mountain Manor and now they had finally found an opportunity for revenge, they used all their might.

Niu Dali was eager to try, "Big brother, what about me?"

Xiao Yi asked, "Are your injuries no problem?"

This guy was covered in sword wounds, most of his clothes soaked red with blood, yet he was still full of vigor, "Keeping an eye on them will be no problem!"

"Then go with them," Xiao Yi waved his hand.

Niu Dali and the Shi Family four brothers, excited, drove the four strongmen of Sword Mountain Manor as they carried the stele inscribed with 'Sword Mountain Manor, Tianlan's Shame' and rushed madly toward the capital.

It was not hard to imagine...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After this event.

Sword Mountain Manor would inevitably be utterly disgraced, and the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy and Sword Mountain Manor would fully tear their faces apart, as incompatible as fire and water.

As the instigator, Xiao Yi was indifferent to all this.

His eyes swept over the crowd, and he said lightly, "The excitement is over, everyone can disperse now!"

The crowd scattered in a commotion.

Daring not to linger.

```

This was the fierce man who killed two Swordsmen of Mingjian Manor with just a flick of his wrist, who would dare to provoke him?

Xiao Yi returned to Fang Qingzhu's side and smiled, "The hairpin is stained with blood, I'll buy you a new one later!"

"No!"

Fang Qingzhu took the hairpin back from Xiao Yi's hand and wore it on her head, smiling as she said, "This hairpin was used by brother Xiao Yi, I have to keep it!"

Xiao Yi, with no choice, lightly scratched her nose and smiled, "Suit yourself!" Then noticing the bloodstains on her arm, he frowned, "Let's go inside and bandage that up!"

"It's unnecessary, it's just a superficial wound..." Fang Qingzhu weakly said.

Xiao Yi, with a stern face, said, "When I say you need a bandage, you need a bandage!"

He took Fang Qingzhu's hand and walked toward the Tianqi Martial Arts Institute.

Fang Qingzhu, looking at Xiao Yi's retreating back, slightly raised the corners of her mouth...

…

The next day.

After fermenting overnight, the news that two great Swordsmen of Mingjian Manor had fallen at Tianqi Martial Arts Academy had already spread throughout the entire capital.

The name Xiao Yi had become the talk of the town.

He was even regarded by some as the foremost among the younger generation.

As the foremost under the Golden Core Realm and so forth!

As for these empty honors, Xiao Yi did not take them to heart. Instead, it was the return of Jiang Tai and Gu Junhe to Tianqi Martial Arts Academy that he found more interesting.

"Headmaster!"

The crowd gathered in the main hall, all turning their eyes toward the head of the table, where Gu Junhe sat holding a wine gourd.

Gu Junhe took a swig of wine, glanced lazily at Xiao Yi, "You did well with Mingjian Manor's affair..." He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone, "You all did well too, and didn't disgrace our Tianqi Martial Arts Academy!"

The crowd wore looks of pride.

"Aside from Xiao Yi and Jiang Tai, everyone else will start cultivating with me from tomorrow!" Gu Junhe took another gulp from his wine gourd and said indifferently, "Xiao Yi and Jiang Tai stay behind, the rest of you may leave!"

Only three people remained in the hall.

Gu Junhe put away his wine gourd and looked intently at Xiao Yi, "Do you know why I have kept the two of you?"

Xiao Yi said, "Is it about the secret realm?"

Gu Junhe nodded and said, "That secret realm is surprisingly vast, and the gains exceed expectations. We've decided to open the secret realm in ten days for you juniors to enter. However, they're only willing to give Tianqi Martial Arts Academy one spot, so which of you two will go?"

Jiang Tai said from the side, "Headmaster, please give it to Xiao. I can secure a spot from the king!"

Gu Junhe looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many spots do the other parties have?"

Gu Junhe's eyes brightened as he glanced at Jiang Tai.

Jiang Tai said gravely, "The royal family has twenty spots, the Royal Martial Arts Academy has twenty spots, Nine Profound Sect and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple have ten spots each, Mingjian Manor has four, and the Loose Cultivators have ten. Additionally, Purple Robe Kingdom from the north has nine spots, and Tianlan Kingdom to the west has ten..."

Xiao Yi asked, "Why does our Tianqi Martial Arts Academy only have one spot?"

Although Tianqi Martial Arts Academy had fallen, with Gu Junhe's strength, getting a few more spots shouldn't be a problem!

Jiang Tai said with a wry smile, "The Headmaster originally secured five spots for us, but they were suppressed by Zhou Yuan, the head of the Royal Martial Arts Academy, in alliance with Nine Profound Sect and the Master of Mingjian Manor. The one spot we have is I got from Purple Robe Kingdom..."

He had gone to the northern border precisely to secure that spot.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, staring at Gu Junhe, and revealed a bright smile, "Brother Jiang, you should take this spot!"

Jiang Tai asked, "What about you?"

Xiao Yi stretched himself and smiled, "The Royal Martial Arts Academy, Nine Profound Sect, Mingjian Manor... they all have quite a few spots, don't they? When the time comes, I'll just make one of them give me a spot!"

Jiang Tai rolled his eyes, "Give?"

He had paid a hefty sum of over a hundred million silvers to get that one spot from Purple Robe Kingdom.

How could they simply give it away?

Xiao Yi said, "If they don't, then I'll fight until they do! But I am a reasonable person, I'll try to prevail with virtue!"

Jiang Tai twitched the corner of his eye: "..."

However, Gu Junhe just laughed heartily, with a casual wave, a jade box fell into Xiao Yi's hand. He said with a beaming smile, "You're right, we should prevail with virtue. Here is a Bodhi Vermilion Fruit — ten days should be enough to assimilate it. To argue, you must have a strong fist!"

"Thank you, Headmaster!"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly.

Jiang Tai glanced back and forth between them, feeling powerless as he massaged his forehead: "..."
