Chapter 182 Go to kill the Spirit Ghost Taoist, to temper Xia Lianghe
Xia Yuhua, standing to the side, remained expressionless and motionless upon witnessing this scene, like a statue. If it hadn't been for Xia Yuhui sending a black talisman that day, Yang Taikong might have truly gotten his wish.
He had thought that Xia Yuhui would severely punish Yang Kongtai after returning, but the die was cast. Yang Kongtai was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he estimated that Xia Yuhui would not punish him severely. Who would have thought it would be so serious?
However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. With Xia Yuhui's current strength, why would he care about a cultivator who has only recently entered the Foundation Establishment stage? If he really wanted to take Yang Kongtai's life, he could probably do so in an instant.
After the farce ended, the rest of the Xia family arrived one after another. As soon as they entered the hall, they bowed respectfully to Xia Yuhui as if he were a star surrounded by the moon!
"Clan leader!"
"Clan leader!"
At this moment, they also noticed Yang Taikong, who was clutching his abdomen tightly and covered in sweat.
However, they seemed to have thought of something in the end, so they kept quiet and took their seats.
"Yu Hui, you bastard, what you did at Panyun Market has already spread like wildfire. You're really audacious!" Xia Guangyao arrived in a flurry.
He had completely shed his former listless appearance. Now that he had achieved Foundation Establishment, he was truly in high spirits and full of energy.
"Uncle Yao, congratulations on reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!" Xia Yuhui was overjoyed, after all, Xia Guangyao had been very kind to him when he was young.
"No need for congratulations. I wasted a golden opportunity for the family and almost caused a disaster. I have not yet atoned for my sins."
That being said, he is now the fourth elder of the Xia family, and he has long since atoned for his sins. Before him lies only a broad and promising road.
After speaking, Xia Guangyao went to his seat and sat down steadily. In front of him, there was only Xia Guangyang standing in the way, and above him was Xia Yuhui.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xia Yuhui carefully handed out the pots of spirit tea that had already been brewed, and then glanced at the people seated below.
Looking at those faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, Xia Yuhui felt a surge of pride and declared loudly, "After today, my Xia family will surely shine like the rising sun, radiating brilliance and prospering forever! Please drink this cup to the brim!"
Before he finished speaking, he picked up the spiritual tea in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, everyone picked up their spirit tea and gulped it down.
Xia Yuhui finished his spiritual tea, put down the teacup, and looked at everyone with sharp eyes. He said in a deep voice, "I have called you here today for two reasons. First, to let you know that I have returned to the family safely. Second, I am summoning you to kill someone."
“This thief has a blood feud with my Xia family. He slaughtered more than 10,000 of my Xia family members. This is an irreconcilable hatred! I have now found his exact location. Eldest brother, second brother, third sister, Yufeng, Lianghe, and Yang Kongtai, the six of you will come with me.”
Upon hearing this, the six men sprang to their feet like arrows released from a bow, shouting in unison, "We obey!"
Afterwards, Xia Yuhui gave Xia Guangchang and Xia Guangyao some instructions, and then, like a gust of wind, led everyone out the door.
After everyone left, those who remained in the hall sighed listlessly, like wilted eggplants. The reason was simple: they were not among the six people. Xia Liangxin, Xia Yuzong, and Xia Liangmu were particularly distraught, as if they had lost their parents.
The group first went to the treasure vault to prepare some things, and then left Lingfeng Mountain without stopping.
Our destination, Xilong County, is the southernmost county of the ancient kingdom, bordering the Chu Kingdom. The Chu Kingdom is ruled by the Ye family, a family of cultivators. The Ye family has three Golden Core cultivators, and its overall strength is exceptionally powerful, several times stronger than that of the ancient kingdom.
Since Longxi County is adjacent to Jinling County, the seven of them traveled at breakneck speed, like shooting stars chasing the moon, and arrived in Longxi County in just half a month.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui stood proudly on Lion Rock Roar like a pine tree, his gaze like that of a hawk, scanning the surrounding environment from time to time, as if he wanted to bring this world under his control.
Behind him, Xia Yuhua and others followed closely, with the only member of the Liang generation, Xia Lianghe, standing close by on Shi Yanhou.
Clearly, Xia Yuhui gave him special treatment.
After a thorough investigation, Xia Yuhui was certain that there was no danger within a 300-mile radius. He then turned to Xia Lianghe and asked, "Lianghe, what level have you reached in your weapon-refining skills?"
Xia Lianghe, who was curiously looking around at his surroundings, immediately replied as if he had been electrocuted upon hearing this: "Clan leader, I can now refine first-grade high-quality magic weapons, but I have only succeeded in refining first-grade high-quality defensive magic weapons a few times by chance. I am still not proficient, so I am currently collecting materials to refine them a few more times to deepen my memory."
"Oh, you truly live up to expectations. You are the number one of the Liang generation, which is well-deserved." Upon hearing the satisfactory answer, Xia Yuhui's face immediately blossomed into a bright smile like spring flowers.
"It was just luck. In the future, Lianghe will definitely work harder and live up to the clan leader's expectations," Xia Lianghe replied with a humble smile.
"Hmm, good. Now that you've reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, how is your combat strength?" Xia Yuhui asked again.
Xia Lianghe was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Xia Yuhui to ask such a question. After a moment's thought, he still said, "I think I'm alright. Although I can't kill cultivators of a higher level than myself, I can handle cultivators of the same level with ease."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui immediately stopped Lion Rock Roar. Seeing Xia Yuhui stop, the Xia family members behind him descended like birds and quickly came to Xia Yuhui's side.
"Yu Hui, what's wrong? We're not here yet!" Xia Yu Hua asked anxiously.
Xia Yuhui did not answer, but smiled mysteriously and turned to Xia Lianghe, saying, "That's quite impressive. In that case, why don't you go ahead and lead the way for us, and scout the area first?"
"Huh?..." Xia Lianghe felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind quickly recalled his words as if they were a movie, and he found that there was nothing wrong with them. He was extremely surprised. What had he done to offend his clan leader that would cause him to do this?
"I told you to go and scout ahead." Xia Yuhui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cunning smile like a fox.
Seeing Xia Yuhui's appearance, Xia Lianghe seemed to understand something and immediately clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.
"Fifth Brother, what kind of trick are you playing?" Xia Yuhua couldn't contain her curiosity after Xia Lianghe left and asked.
"There are three demonic cultivators hiding ahead, all at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Lianghe just dared to spout nonsense in front of me. Today, I'll teach him a lesson." Xia Yuhui chuckled, his smile seemingly mocking Xia Lianghe's overestimation of his abilities.
"Ah, isn't this going too far? How could one possibly win against three?" Xia Yuren was astonished upon hearing this, completely bewildered, and immediately stepped forward.
He was well aware of the prowess of this rising star in the family, but felt that taking on three opponents at once was an impossible task.
“Jade must be carved to become a useful object. If his talent is truly outstanding, then it is worth it for the family to do everything in its power to support him,” Xia Yuhui explained, his voice like a heavy hammer striking everyone’s heart.
