Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son must avenge him

  Xiao Chen stood calmly on the giant sword, looking at the flattering expressions on the faces of the Xiao family's children, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart!

  "Quickly!" Liu and the others shouted in unison, as the flying sword suddenly soared into the air and rapidly flew off into the distance.

  Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, gazing at the mountains and rivers rushing past beneath him. In his heart, he couldn't help but make a silent vow: one day, he too would become an incredibly powerful cultivator who could soar through the heavens and traverse the earth with ease!

  Xiao City, Xiao Family!

  The half-month period has arrived, and as per last year's convention, regardless of whether they passed or not, the Luoyun Sect will send back all disciples who participated in the test today.

  Xiao family's main hall, Xiao Wenting sat in the first position, although his face was calm and unruffled, but he was a bit nervous inside. That iron essence was something he had obtained by chance, whether it could help Xiao Lin become a disciple of the Luoyun Sect, he didn't have full confidence in his heart either. His eyes scanned over the crowd below, especially when he saw his father, Xiao, in the corner, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. No matter what, his son was the most likely to become a cultivator, if even he couldn't succeed, others naturally had no hope! Especially that Xiao Chen, with a weak body, how could he possibly be favored by the immortal master? Thinking of this, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

  "How come he's still not here? Xiao Lie has some inner strength foundation, but I don't know if he can catch the eye of Master Xian." Xiaojia Liu Ye took two impatient steps and muttered to himself.

  "Haha, it's not easy to say this, but the immortal masters select their disciples based on their spiritual roots. Without that, even if you're the leader of the Wulin Alliance, they won't give you a second glance." A pale-faced old man from the Xiao family chuckled and said.

  "Er Ge's family that little girl, since childhood has been revealing a clever spirit, nimble and quick-witted, I think eight or nine out of ten she has the spiritual root, maybe this time she will be chosen."

  "The little one at Seventh Brother's house is also quite good, with a sturdy and robust physique, I think he has great promise too."

  "In my opinion, among our Xiao family, only Xiao Lin has the most hope of being favored. You think about it, from a young age, he was already the best among our younger generation in the Xiao family. This time, it's also him who will take the lead!"

  "Not bad, not bad, I think so too!"

  "If Xiao Lin is chosen by Luoyun Valley, he will become a cultivator overnight, and the status of our entire Xiao family will also rise greatly!"

  "Not bad, if our Xiao family has a cultivator, how dare the Wu family show off in front of us! Xiao Lin can take them down with just one fireball!"

  Xiao Wenting felt a sense of relief in his heart, and he also humbly said, "All the young masters of our Xiao family are quite capable, any one of them has the possibility of being chosen."

  "The clan leader's words are not bad, but one of them doesn't count as our Xiao family member. In the old lady's time, he was already expelled from the house and swore never to enter this door again. Now, he's standing here with a deadpan expression asking us to send his son to take the Tianshanmen test! Even if we agree, can't he see that his son isn't suitable? He's weak and frail, like a gust of wind could blow him away, with a short-lived appearance. It would be strange if the immortal masters of Luoyun Valley looked at him favorably." Xiao Wenbin glanced at his father, not hiding the sarcasm in his tone, and coldly laughed.

  "Third Brother is right, I think it's a shame that the Clan Leader let Xiao Chen go, it's simply losing face for our Xiao family!"

  "That year, the old lady had already driven them out of the Xiao family, so they were no longer considered members of the Xiao family. This time, Patriarch, you're kind enough to help them out, but in the future, we must draw a clear line with them. Our Xiao family is a respectable and prominent household, how can we let some unscrupulous people enter our doors?"

  "That's enough! I've already admitted my mistakes in front of you, what more do you want?! To be honest with you, if it weren't for the sake of giving Xiao Chen a chance to make something of himself, I, Xiao Wenshan, would rather die than set foot in the Xiao family home again!"

  Xiao Wenbin rolled his eyes and said in a sarcastic tone, "You're still putting on airs here. You didn't come to our house by invitation, if you don't want to stay then get out of here! This is the main hall of the Xiao family, we won't tolerate your arrogance!"

  "Shut up! When my father was alive, he originally intended to pass the position of head of the household to me. But you people banded together to deal with me and my mother! Slap your conscience, if it weren't for your despicable schemes back then, who would be sitting here now?" Xiang's voice was icy cold as he glared at Xiang Wenbin.

  "That's enough!" Xiao Wenting's face turned gloomy, he was very clear about what had happened back then, after all, everything was planned by his mother. "Xiao Wenshan, don't push my patience to the limit, get out of the Xiao family right now, or you will pay the price for this!"

  "Get out! Haha, what makes you think I should get out? If it weren't for you bunch of petty people back then, the one sitting in this position now should be me!" Xiao Chen's matter had already been settled, and Xiao's father had no burden on his mind, so he finally returned to his usual proud self, coldly laughing and scolding.

  "Guards one and two, you two take action, don't be polite, throw him out of the Xiao family gate! You can rest assured that when your little brat comes back, I will drive him away. From now on, don't let me see you again!" Xiao Wenting looked down at Xiao Fu with a superior attitude, as if looking at an ant, his expression calm and detached.

  "Yes, Chief!"

  The two middle-aged men standing behind Xiao Wenting sneered and flew towards Xiao's father.

  The Dark Guards are the most powerful force in the Xiao family. The first and second Dark Guards, as leaders of the Dark Guards, have achieved a level of martial arts that is truly divine. With their internal energy surging, their movements naturally possess great power.

  Xiao Fu, although his martial arts skills were not weak, was no match for the two men as he had cut off one of his arms and his injuries had not yet healed. He was quickly struck in the chest by An Wei's palm and spat out blood onto the ground.

  An Wei One and An Wei Two sneered, just about to take action to capture Xiao Fu's father, when suddenly a piercing, ear-shattering sound of something tearing through the air came out of nowhere!

  Whoosh!

  Xiao Wenting's expression changed, and he suddenly waved his hand: "Get him under control for me, don't rush the immortal master." After adjusting his clothes, he led a group of Xiao family members who were in power to hastily welcome someone.

  "Xiao Chen, this is your home, isn't it? Indeed, the spiritual energy here is quite impressive. No wonder someone like you was born from this place." Along the way, Liu Shixiong and Xiao Chen had also become more familiar with each other, their conversation filled with friendly intentions.

  Xiao Chen heard this and smiled faintly, but it was Xiao Lin and the others behind him who heard this and their faces suddenly turned bright red.

  His eyes scanned the crowd at the Xiao family, and Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed as he didn't see his father among them, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

  "Thank you, Master Xian, for sending the young masters of the Xiao family back. There's no need to rush, take a short rest before leaving." Xiao Wenting's face wore a humble smile, not hiding his flattering intentions.

  "Hehe, Xiaojia's master is being polite. Since that's the case, I'll just drop by." Liu Shixiong's face showed a faint smile, and his attitude was also quite warm.

  It's already three o'clock in the morning!!
