Chapter 437
In the face of the threat of a strong enemy, Xie Dayu did not immediately disturb his father Xie Yusheng’s cultivation. He was also not stupid enough to disturb Xie Mantang, who was in seclusion at this time. Instead, he launched an internal operation to eliminate the dissidents.
The first to be suppressed and persecuted were the six sons of Xie Xuan and Xie Ren. Without their father’s protection, the fate of the six of them could be foreseen. These six were Xie Dayu’s cousins. Although their strength was not that great, they all had a few sons. As long as they had sons, they were thorns in Xie Dayu’s eyes and would not be happy if they were not eliminated.
Xie Dayu acted decisively and was also very kind. When the news of Xie Xuan and Xie Ren’s death reached the Xie Clan, he immediately ordered Xie Xin to investigate the two elders’ embezzlement and conspiracy to usurp the clan’s throne. Even if there was no evidence, he secretly ordered Xie Xin to forge evidence.
The news of the battle in the Serpentine Grand Canyon reached the Xie Clan in the morning. That night, internal strife broke out in the Xie Clan. The Patriarch, Xie Dayu, ordered the Fourth Elder, Xie Xin, to lead the Xie Clan’s death guards to capture the six sons of Xie Xuan and Xie Ren. Three of them were killed on the spot because of resistance, while the other three were seriously injured and imprisoned.
Xie Dayu did not make a move on Xie Xuan and Xie Ren’s grandchildren, because those young masters did not pose a threat to his position as the Patriarch. Besides, it was impossible for him to kill the Xie Clan’s young masters. Killing the Xie Clan would be the end of the line, and he would not be able to explain it to Xie Yusheng and Xie Mantang.
The dozens of Young Masters and Young Ladies of the Xie Family were all afraid of death. Although they were angry at their Patriarch, they didn’t dare to speak out, and they didn’t dare to use force. They could only watch as their fathers were killed and persecuted. Otherwise, they would all die, and they wouldn’t be able to avenge their fathers.
“Hua!”
Although Xie Dayu had strictly ordered the Xie Clan to suppress the news of the operation, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Paper could not wrap fire. That night, before dawn, the news spread to the Xie Clan and quickly spread throughout the Immortal Jade City, causing an uproar in the city.
“Hiss!”
The wise men of the various big and small clans in the Immortal Jade City linked the battle in the Serpentine Grand Canyon with the Xie Clan’s purge, and all of them sucked in a deep breath of cold air. They all guessed that everything that happened was within Xie Dayu’s expectations and control. In other words, both Xie Xuan and Xie Ren had fallen into Xie Dayu’s scheme. Obviously, Xie Dayu had borrowed the hand of Xiao Chen to kill the two of them, which led to the purge of the Xie Clan.
What a sinister Xie Dayu!
What a vicious method!
The people of the Immortal Jade City did not dare to speak ill of Xie Dayu openly; however, they secretly spread the news of Xie Dayu’s shameful and evil deeds of excluding dissidents and framing his own people. Everyone seemed to have gained a new understanding of their City Master Xie Dayu, and kept a respectful distance from him, fearing that they would fall into Xie Dayu’s schemes.
Xie Dayu’s notoriety suddenly spread throughout the Immortal Jade City, and quickly spread to the entire Full Moon Tribe. His notoriety followed in the footsteps of Xiao Chen, and there was a great hope that he would surpass Xiao Chen. After all, Xiao Chen would never do such a thing as murdering his own people.
… …
Xiao Chen stood on the top of a hill, and looked at the big city in the distance, which was crossed by a winding river. He unfolded the sheepskin map of the Full Moon Tribe that he had obtained from the Magnificent Jade City, and compared it with the map.
“Da Huang, the big city in front is called the Sky Water City, and the next city is the Immortal Jade City. Since the battle in the Serpentine Grand Canyon, the Xie Clan has not sent any powerhouses to stop us. Presumably, they intend to defend the Immortal Jade City and wait for us to attack the city.”
“En, Big Brother, let’s go quickly. After we rob the Sky Water City, we will go to the Immortal Jade City and destroy the Xie Clan. If we cannot destroy the Xie Clan, we will run and escape to the Cold Sky Tribe in the north. The Xie Clan’s powerhouses will not be able to do anything to us!
Ga Ga! ”
The Lion King Da Huang, who was standing beside Xiao Chen, sent a message through his consciousness. He looked very excited, and apparently, he was thinking of robbing the city.
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Chen did not ride the Lion King. Instead, he ran quickly on his own feet. He quickly rushed down the mountain and ran on the flat grassland.
The Lion King easily kept up with Xiao Chen’s running speed.
After an hour, Xiao Chen and Da Huang arrived in front of the Sky Water City’s gate. What surprised them was that there were more than a dozen people standing outside the Sky Water City’s gate. To be exact, there were more than a dozen Blood Bear Realm experts. When these experts saw Xiao Chen and the Lion King, their complexion changed. Their eyes were filled with fear, and their bodies were trembling.
Xiao Chen did not put these experts in his eyes and continued to approach the city gate. He sent a message to the Lion King jokingly in his heart, “Da Huang, what do they want to do?
Does the Sky Water City have to rely on these people to defend the city? ”
“Big Brother, don’t joke around. I guess they are here to welcome us, right?” Da Huang sent a whimsical message.
“Welcome?
Are they that nice? “Xiao Chen heard Da Huang’s words and was slightly surprised. Then, he smiled.
“Hm?”
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming fixed his gaze on one of the martial artists’ right hand and noticed that the martial artist seemed to be holding a stack of purple banknotes, which looked very much like purple-gold banknotes. Ou Yangming could not help but be stunned. After pondering for a moment, an unbelievable thought appeared in his mind, and he transmitted his voice in a strange manner, “Big Yellow, they’re not only here to welcome us, but they’re also waiting at the city gate to give us purple-gold banknotes.
“Giving purple gold bills?”
Da Huang was slightly surprised. Then, he said with satisfaction, “If it is true, then the people of the Sky Water City are quite tactful. Saves me the trouble of killing them!
Gaga! ”
“It should be true. You see, they are all holding purple gold bills!”
As they got closer, Xiao Chen saw that there were more than a dozen people standing at the gate. They were all holding purple gold bills in their hands. It seemed that his guess was correct.
Da Huang’s huge eyes stared coldly at the dozens of people standing ten feet away. He discovered that they were indeed holding purple gold bills in their hands. He couldn’t help but excitedly send a message, “It really is purple gold bills!
Big Brother, let’s go collect the bills!
Haha! ”
“Yes, let’s go.” Xiao Chen said lightly. Then, he no longer spoke and walked straight towards the dozens of people.
“Plop!”
Sure enough, Xiao Chen’s guess was correct. The dozens of martial artists standing at the gate looked at Xiao Chen and the Lion King with awe and fear in their eyes as they walked towards them. They resisted the urge to turn around and run. The dozens of people looked at each other and almost simultaneously knelt down on one knee. Their hands were holding several purple gold bills. The martial artist standing in the middle respectfully said on behalf of the crowd:
“Lord Xiao, Lord Lion King, we have been waiting here for a long time under the orders of our respective Clan Heads. The Purple Gold Banknotes in our hands are a small gift from our Clan Heads to the two Lords. The gift is light, but the thought is heavy. I hope the two Lords will accept it. Furthermore, our Lord City Lord has instructed us many times to invite the two Lords into the Han Residence to rest for a few days to relieve the fatigue of the journey!”
Xiao Chen heard the expected words and signaled Da Huang to stop. He coldly glanced at the dozens of martial artists kneeling five feet away and said, “Your patriarchs have performed well. How about this, you can pile the purple gold bills together and leave.”
“Yes, Lord!”
When the dozens of people heard Xiao Chen’s words, they understood that Xiao Chen didn’t plan to make things difficult for them and Sky Water City. Suddenly, they felt as if they had been pardoned and their hearts finally relaxed.
The man in the middle was very quick-witted, he was the first one to stand up and collect all the purple gold notes from the ten people. He wrapped all the purple gold notes in a clean piece of cloth, then personally delivered it to Xiao Chen. He bowed his head and presented the purple gold notes to Xiao Chen, then said respectfully, “Master Xiao, this purple gold note is worth a total of eighteen million silver taels.
