276: Chapter 276 The Zheng Family Causes Trouble

Sima Hui was extremely furious; he did not want to see Sima Xiangnan, fearing he might not be able to resist the urge to slap him to death.

"Where are the guards?"

"Here!"

"Drive Sima Xiangnan out of the Sima Family. He is not permitted to take another step into the Sima Family, otherwise, he will be killed without mercy."

"Understood!"

The Patriarch had already spoken, so the guards stepped forward and dragged Sima Xiangnan away.

"Father, no! Please spare me, I really know I was wrong."

Sima Xiangnan continued to beg for mercy, but although Sima Hui felt heartbroken, he did not soften his heart, watching as the guards drove Sima Xiangnan out of the Sima Family.

"Father, I know you wanted to pass the position of Patriarch to me because you wanted to train me, but under the protection of the Sima Family, it is difficult for me to grow. I want to go out and venture with Young Master Xiao." Sima Pingjiang said.

"Pingjiang, your talent is stronger than your father's. I should not have bound you within the Family. Going out to venture is good. You must learn more from Young Master Xiao, and when you encounter danger, you must press forward bravely. Do not bring shame to the Sima Family."

"Rest assured, Father, I know what to do. You must also take care of your health."

After the father and son exchanged some final words of advice, Sima Pingjiang followed Xiao Yuchen and left the Sima Family.

"Young Master Xiao, you saved my father. From now on, my life is yours."

Before this, Sima Pingjiang followed Xiao Yuchen because of his promise, but now, he was following Xiao Yuchen willingly.

"You are much older than me, so you can just call me Yuchen from now on. I won't hide it from you; I also have a Family vendetta to settle. However, the other party is a top-tier Family in the Central Divine Continent, so I urgently need to build a force."

Xiao Yuchen told Sima Pingjiang about his plan, just to let him be mentally prepared in advance.

"A top-tier Family in the Central Divine Continent? They have Undergoing Tribulation experts!" Sima Pingjiang was startled by Xiao Yuchen's words.

"Yes. Are you afraid?" Xiao Yuchen asked with a smile.

"Afraid? I only fear that I won't be able to help. You helped me repair my Dantian, improved my strength, and saved my father. I have no more attachments in my heart. Let alone invading a top-tier Family in the Central Divine Continent, even if it were to storm the Heavenly Court, I would accompany you."

Hearing these words from Sima Pingjiang, Xiao Yuchen smiled and patted Sima Pingjiang on the shoulder, saying: "Haha, it's not that serious. Before I have absolute strength, I will not go to take revenge."

The next morning, the six of them, led by Xiao Yuchen, came to Wuding Street again. Because of the incident with Sima Pingjiang, there were many people here today to watch the excitement.

Xiao Yuchen scanned the crowd. Although the people who came to watch the excitement today were clearly stronger, none met his requirements. Xiao Yuchen was not in a hurry; his reputation had already been established, and someone would eventually come.

After a while, dozens of people arrived from afar and finally stopped in front of Xiao Yuchen and his group of six. The onlookers, upon seeing who had arrived, hurriedly made way because they were people from the Zheng Family, a top-tier Family in Beiliang City, whose strength was on par with the Sima Family.

Yesterday, a core member of the Zheng Family saw Xiao Yuchen treating Sima Pingjiang and helping him break through. After returning, he reported this matter to the Patriarch.

The Patriarch of the Zheng Family felt this was unlikely. After all, someone capable of helping Mahayana Stage experts improve their cultivation would be a guest of honor for major families even in the Dongba Prefecture or the Central Divine Continent; how could they come to the Beixuan Prefecture and set up a street stall?

However, for such matters, it is better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. If it were true, their Zheng Family would strike it rich.

"Kid, can you really help someone at the Great Perfection of the Void Tempering Stage break through to the Mahayana Stage?"

Seeing the arrogant appearance of the person who arrived, Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly. The other party brought so many people, so it certainly wasn't as simple as just wanting to improve cultivation.

"Yes, I can also help Mahayana Stage experts improve their cultivation, but my conditions are very harsh; you might not be able to accept them."

Facing such people, it was necessary for Xiao Yuchen to state his conditions in advance.

"Speak and let me hear them."

"The person I help improve their cultivation must become my subordinate for a period of two years. After two years, they may leave on their own."

"Can't you change the condition? I can use Spirit Stones or Cultivation Techniques to trade for your Medicinal Pill."

"Do you think I lack such things? My conditions will not change. If you agree, I can help you now. If you don't agree, then leave." Xiao Yuchen directly rejected the other party's condition.

"Since we are here, how could we leave? I think this matter can still be discussed. Why don't you accompany me to the Zheng Family, and we can discuss it in detail." The old man still refused to give up.

"No need. My conditions will not change." Xiao Yuchen refused again.

"In Beiliang City, no one has ever been able to refuse the Zheng Family. You had better think clearly." Having been rejected one after another, the old man's tone clearly turned cold.

"Zheng Tong, are you threatening my brother? Others might fear your Zheng Family, but my Sima Family does not."

The Zheng Family and the Sima Family were both top-tier families in Beiliang City. Sima Pingjiang knew Zheng Tong extremely well; such a person was simply not worth trusting.

"You, an outcast of the Sima Family, what qualifications do you have to clamor in front of me? Others might not know the situation of your Sima Family, but do you think I don't know? Your younger brother, Sima Xiangnan, has become the Patriarch of the Sima Family. You are nothing but a stray dog now. If I were to kill you, not only would your brother not blame me, I fear he would even come to my door in person to thank me."

Hearing Zheng Tong's words, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar. So Sima Pingjiang had become an outcast of the Sima Family. It was no wonder he was willing to be someone else's follower; he had nowhere else to go.

"Haha, Patriarch Zheng, your information is outdated. Previously, my Dantian was destroyed, my cultivation was crippled, and it was normal for me to be driven out of the Family. Now that I have repaired my Dantian and successfully broken through to the Mahayana Stage, I returned to the Sima Family just last night. If you don't believe me, I can send a message to my father right now and have him bring people over." Sima Pingjiang took out a sound transmission jade talisman, making a gesture to send a message to Sima Hui.

"This... even if you have returned to the Sima Family, so what? I don't believe your Sima Family would start a war with my Zheng Family for the sake of an outsider."

"You can try it. Now that both my father and I are at the Mahayana Stage, do you think your Zheng Family is a match for my Sima Family?"

Although Zheng Tong was stronger than him, Sima Pingjiang was not afraid in the slightest. This was his promise; he had to defend Xiao Yuchen to the death.

"Then I will capture you first, and your father will have no choice but to surrender."

The Zheng Family had figured it out: as long as they had Xiao Yuchen in their hands, they could Cultivate more Mahayana Stage experts. Even if it meant offending the Sima Family, it didn't matter.

"Leave Sima Pingjiang to me, and you all take those five people back."

Because Xiao Yuchen and his group cultivated the Chaos Yin-Yang Scripture and had Chaos Qi within their Dantians, Zheng Tong could not see their cultivation levels at all. However, Xiao Yuchen and his group were too young, so their strength definitely would not be too high.

"Yes, Patriarch." The group received the order and surrounded the six, including Xiao Yuchen. However, before they could even make a move, a Body Integration Stage expert directly turned into charcoal in full view of everyone.
