C333 Attitudinal Shift
When Hsiao Mang and the other elders saw this person, their expressions all changed drastically.
"Patriarch!"
"Chief, you've come out of seclusion —" Hsiao Mang cried out in his heart and quickly bowed.
"Hsiao Mang, you really let me down." Xiao Zhantian looked at Hsiao Mang and swept his gaze across the other five elders.
For a time, no one dared to speak. Everyone quieted down.
Xiao Zhantian's gaze quickly landed on Hsiao Hee and he could not help but frown.
He suddenly felt that the figure in front of him was a little familiar, but he had no idea where he had seen it before.
"This disciple … what is going on?" He also noticed the blood at the corner of Hsiao Hee's mouth.
"To be honest, just now, he had tried to kill his fellow sect members in anger. In order to stop him, the First Elder had accidentally hurt him."
The Sixth Elder was Hsiao Mang's most valued lackey. He quickly stood up to defend him.
"Nonsense!" It is clear that you are trying to sabotage this disciple's competition to add to your crimes! " Hsiao Wujie immediately retorted.
"Third Elder!"
Xiao Zhantian's face darkened as he coldly said, "You are really getting more and more lacking in manners!"
After that, he did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, he looked at Hsiao Hee and said, "Tell me, what is going on?"
Hsiao Hee was relieved to see that Xiao Zhantian did not recognize him. He did not hide anything and told the whole story.
After hearing Hsiao Hee's story, Xiao Zhantian frowned even more.
This was indeed what Hsiao Mang could do.
"Hsiao Mang, do you think it's possible for the disciples of Unrestrained Martial School to kill each other!?" Xiao Zhantian glanced to the side, his eyes blooming with a bright light.
"This is definitely not the case. The First Elder is just following the rules. Moreover, in a competition, death and injury are inevitable. We —" Before the Sixth Elder could finish, he was glared back at by Xiao Zhantian.
"Hsiao Mang, what do you have to say?" Xiao Zhantian looked to the side.
"What this old man doesn't want to say, it's up to the Patriarch to decide." Great Elder Hsiao Mang cupped his hands and did not explain.
"Yes, all of you should return to the viewing gallery first. This matter will be discussed after the Nirvana Ceremony. Do not delay the opening of the Sacred Grounds." Xiao Zhantian said coldly.
"Do you all have any objections?" His eyes looked around, and his tone was filled with an irresistible force.
No one dared to raise their heads, and no one dared to refute.
Hsiao Hee also didn't say anything. He finally understood the power distribution of the Xiao family.
In their eyes, all the branches were nothing more than crumbs.
The six elders were not in harmony with each other, and their struggles were extremely intense.
The only thing that could place this Hsiao family in an invincible position was its powerful strength.
These elders definitely had their own ulterior motives, but how could they all submit under the rule of Hsiao family?
Just by looking at Xiao Zhantian's Jindan Stage Late Phase cultivation, everything was clear.
Xiao Zhantian's gaze finally landed on Hsiao Hee. He still felt that there was someone on Hsiao Hee's body, but he couldn't recall clearly.
"Which main branch's disciple are you?" Xiao Zhantian asked.
"Master, his name is Xiao Qianhe. He is the descendant of Xiao Hantian." Xiao Wugui finally opened his mouth to speak.
Xiao Hantian?
Hearing this name, Xiao Zhantian had a strange expression on his face.
He quickly waved his hand, "Have him stay here and recuperate. All of you can leave, don't affect the Large Competition anymore."
"Yes!"
The group of Elders cupped their hands and saluted. After which, they turned around and left the fighting stage one by one.
Hsiao Hee silently followed behind the two brothers, Xiao Wuyong and Hsiao Wujie, and also heard many interesting things.
"Hmph, I knew it! This little kid is going for that old dog Hsiao Mang!" Hsiao Wujie protested furiously.
"Hsiao Hee, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Wuyong's gaze focused, "Right now, he's the clan head, do you still think it's that brat that was together with mud before?"
"Big Brother, I'm just not willing to give up. They obviously want to suppress us!" Hsiao Wujie said angrily.
Xiao Wugui let out a long sigh, "If Zhentian is still here, how can we be humiliated like this?"
At the mention of the word "Heaven Shaking", the light in Hsiao Wujie's eyes dimmed. It was obvious that something bad had happened.
Although Hsiao Hee followed the two from a distance, he still heard their conversation clearly.
So the person these two brothers were supporting was actually grandpa?
No wonder they were suppressed. In the Xiao family, their grandfather Xiao Zhentian was considered a traitor.
At this point, Hsiao Wujie turned around and looked at Hsiao Hee.
"Qian He, you don't have to worry. Since you're Xiao Han Tian's descendant, I believe the family head won't do anything to you."
"If there's no other way, I'll go find the patriarch and let him make the decision!"
"Absolutely not!" Xiao Wuhou immediately stopped it.
Soon after, he looked at Hsiao Hee, hinting him to go back by himself, then whispered to Hsiao Wujie.
"I heard that the patriarch was attacked and heavily injured last night. He is currently recuperating in seclusion, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see him anymore."
"Oh? "There's actually such a thing!?" Hsiao Wujie was stunned and his expression changed drastically.
"It's true! Furthermore, we have yet to apprehend the person who will barge into the Sacred Grounds and right now, the Patriarch has already ordered a secret sealing of the Taibai Mountain. Xiao Wuwang said.
Hsiao Wujie hurriedly nodded, "Don't worry, Brother, I'm not stupid!"
Hsiao Hee could not help but sneer as he listened to all the conversations.
That old fox is really calculating. He actually feigned to be heavily injured and wants me to let down my guard?
That white-haired old man was clearly a half-step Nascent Soul Stage old monster. Even a missile might not be enough to kill him, yet he was claiming to be seriously injured?
Hsiao Hee shook his head. Right now, he could no longer reveal his identity.
After all, for the father and son of the Patriarch of the Hsiao family, one was half a step into the Nascent Soul Stage, while the other was a late stage Jindan Stage.
If they were to fight, with Hsiao Hee's current level, he would only have the advantage in martial skills. In fact, he wouldn't be able to threaten him at all.
Furthermore, after he saw the method Hsiao Lyi used to take Hsiao Qianling's grandfather's life from a thousand miles away, he decided to conceal his identity.
Jiangbei's Hsiao family was too strong, it was not something he could handle alone.
Moreover, even if he could survive by himself, Su Yun couldn't. She couldn't, nor could anyone from the Su family.
There were still many people he had to protect, and he could not let this matter slip through his hands just because of recklessness.
Hsiao Hee returned to his seat after thinking about it.
Hsiao Qianling saw that Hsiao Hee seemed to have something on his mind, so she asked with concern.
"Are you all right? Are you hurt? "
Hsiao Hee raised his head, but his expression changed.
Not only Hsiao Qianling, even Hsiao Huan and all the other disciples from the main branch all looked at him with excitement.
Hsiao Huan clasped his hands towards Hsiao Hee and said in admiration, "Brother Qianhe, you are a man!"
What he said was right. Under the watchful eyes of Great Elder Hsiao Mang, he was able to break four of his limbs and cripple his cultivation.
Who had the courage to ask such a question?
Completely oppressing Hsiao Sheng, with such strength, who could match up to him?
Thus, at that moment, almost all the disciples from the Second Elder's faction, regardless of whether they were from the main branch or the side branch, looked at Hsiao Hee with admiration.
They were all convinced by Hsiao Hee's fearlessness in the face of Hsiao Mang's criticism.
