311: Chapter 311 Divine Sword Sect

"Is this... am I dreaming? Seeing that the mysterious person didn't appear, I really thought the Xiao Family was finished this time. I didn't expect such a turn of events; not only is the Xiao Family safe, but we can also return to our former glory—no, even greater glory than before."

"Xiao Chen, when Father was still here, he once said that he would pass the position of Family Head to your father in the future. Now that your father's whereabouts are unknown, and as a son should inherit his father's legacy, I will hand the position of Family Head to you. I believe the Xiao Family will reach new heights in your hands."

Hearing Second Uncle Xiao Ting's words, Xiao Yuchen quickly waved his hand and politely refused: "Second Uncle, I am used to being free and unfettered, so I am not suitable to be the Family Head. I can lead the Xiao Family to become stronger, but I'll pass on the position of Family Head."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's refusal, Second Uncle Xiao Ting felt a bit disappointed, but he also knew that the Xiao Family's pond was too small to contain a golden dragon like Xiao Yuchen.

"Xiao Chen, I know you look down on the Xiao Family, but this was Father's dying wish. Although he is no longer with us, I cannot go against his wishes." Second Uncle Xiao Ting insisted repeatedly.

"Second Uncle, please don't misunderstand. How could I look down on the Xiao Family? Great-Grandfather's dying wish was to pass the Xiao Family to my father. Since my father hasn't returned yet, you should be the Family Head. If you truly don't want to be the Family Head, then just wait for my father to return and pass the position to him."

The reason Xiao Yuchen refused was that he truly didn't want to be constrained. Moreover, reaching the position of Immortal Emperor was his ultimate goal. With the help of the System, he believed he would soon be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

"This... very well. Since you don't want to be the Family Head, I won't force you. From now on, just settle down and live in the Xiao Family."

This time, Xiao Yuchen did not refuse. He was a member of the Xiao Family, and it was only right for him to live there. Besides, it made no difference to him.

"That's fine. It's just that I have quite a few people with me, so I'll have to trouble Second Uncle to help arrange their accommodation."

"That's nothing. Although the Xiao Family has declined, we still have plenty of rooms. Fuxing, you handle this matter."

"Understood, Father."

...

Because this was Xiao Yuchen's first time at the Xiao Family, Second Uncle Xiao Ting took him around to look, introducing all the Family members to Xiao Yuchen.

These people had already heard about Xiao Yuchen's strong return and his killing of Sun Zhicheng in an instant. Seeing Xiao Yuchen, everyone was very excited. In their eyes, Xiao Yuchen was a god-like figure.

Although they hadn't seen Xiao Yuchen kill Sun Zhicheng with their own eyes, Xiao Yuchen had killed a Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator in one move, so his cultivation must be at the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage, which made him worthy of their respect.

Now that the Xiao Family had so many Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts sitting in town, even the Four Great Sects did not possess such strength, not to mention that Xiao Yuchen was also a person from the Heavenly Court.

Seeing the Xiao Family members being so enthusiastic toward him, Xiao Yuchen was truly a bit unaccustomed to it. However, the feeling of having a home was really good. Under Xiao Fuxing's arrangements, the people Xiao Yuchen brought were all settled in luxury guest rooms.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yuchen was enjoying his time reuniting with his Family. Just then, dozens of people hurried to the Xiao Family, and the leader was none other than the Divine Sword Sect's Sect Master Wang Shentong.

Ordinarily, given Sect Master Wang Shentong's status, he would never come to a second-rate Family like the Xiao Family. Moreover, he had already reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage and usually never left his Sect, focusing solely on cultivation; he rarely even managed the Sect's affairs.

However, today was different. The Xiao Family had actually produced a Heavenly Court Envoy, and his subordinates had offended the Xiao Family, so he had to come in person to handle this matter.

Therefore, after seeing Zhao Zicheng's token, Sect Master Wang Shentong did not hesitate in the slightest and led the Core Disciples of the Divine Sword Sect to hurry to the Xiao Family.

"Family Head, the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect is here."

Hearing the servant's report, Second Uncle Xiao Ting's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "Quick, invite him in quickly."

Second Uncle Xiao Ting dared not slight Sect Master Wang Shentong and wanted to go out to welcome him personally, but he was stopped by Xiao Yuchen.

"Second Uncle, you don't need to go out to welcome him personally; just wait here."

"But..."

Second Uncle Xiao Ting hesitated a little. That was the Sect Master of one of the Four Great Sects, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage; he really didn't dare to slight him.

"There's no 'but'. Just wait here; leave this matter to me."

Thinking of Xiao Yuchen's status as a Heavenly Court Envoy and his strength to kill a Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator in an instant, Second Uncle Xiao Ting did not refuse and let the servant go to welcome Sect Master Wang Shentong.

Seeing that only a servant had come to welcome him, Sect Master Wang Shentong felt he had lost Face, but considering Xiao Yuchen's status, he didn't say anything and followed the servant to the conference hall.

In the hall, Xiao Yuchen and the elite members of the Xiao Family were all waiting there. However, Xiao Yuchen was not sitting in the main seat, but was sitting below.

Sect Master Wang Shentong scanned the hall. Except for Second Uncle Xiao Ting, everyone else seemed very young, and he really didn't know who the Heavenly Court Envoy was.

"May I ask which one is the Envoy?"

Although Sect Master Wang Shentong was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not show it; he wanted to meet this Heavenly Court Envoy first.

"I am." Xiao Yuchen stood out voluntarily.

"You... you are the Heavenly Court Envoy?"

Sect Master Wang Shentong could not believe it, because Xiao Yuchen was too young; how could he possibly have become a Heavenly Court Envoy?

"It's actually you. You are Xiao Yuchen?"

The one speaking was the Second Elder of the Divine Sword Sect, Luo Nantian, who was at the Mid Tribulation Transcending Stage. He was the one who led the team when participating in the Five Provinces Grand Competition, so he naturally recognized Xiao Yuchen.

"That's right, it's me." Xiao Yuchen did not deny it.

"Second Elder, do you know the Envoy?" Sect Master Wang Shentong said in surprise.

"Sect Master, he is from the Qingyun Sword Sect in Xiyue Prefecture. During the Five Provinces Grand Competition, in order to maintain our first place, we purchased the quota from them." Luo Nantian answered truthfully.

"It's actually him? Is he the one who killed two Demon Generals in the Xuantian Secret Realm?"

"Yes, Elder Zhang Daoquan said so."

Although it was Dongba Prefecture that caused trouble back then, in order to avoid the Central Divine Continent also going to trouble Xiao Yuchen, Zhang Daoquan had specifically notified the Four Great Sects of the Central Divine Continent.

"Many thanks to the Envoy for saving my Divine Sword Sect Disciples. However, I heard that the Envoy is only at the Mahayana Stage. With this kind of cultivation, I'm afraid you aren't qualified to enter the Heavenly Court. Could it be that because of the Xuantian Secret Realm incident, you were specially recruited by the Heavenly Court?" Sect Master Wang Shentong asked curiously.

Seeing Xiao Yuchen, Sect Master Wang Shentong's awe of the Heavenly Court Envoy decreased significantly. He was already standing at the Peak of the Xuantian Continent; he really couldn't bring himself to follow the orders of someone at the Mahayana Stage.

"How I became a Heavenly Court Envoy is not something you need to ask. You just need to know that my identity is real. How does the Divine Sword Sect intend to deal with the Sun Family?"

Xiao Yuchen also saw that Sect Master Wang Shentong looked down on him very much. If it weren't for his status, the other party would not even be willing to speak to him.

"On the Xuantian Continent, strength is respected. Conflicts between families are unavoidable. As for right and wrong, only the strong can judge. If you don't have the strength yourself, it's best not to borrow the power of others to bully, lest you invite trouble upon yourself."

How could Xiao Yuchen not hear the threatening tone in Sect Master Wang Shentong's words? The other party was practically saying his name. However, Xiao Yuchen was not angry. Since the other party emphasized strength, he would let the other party see his own strength. It just so happened that he also wanted to have a battle with someone at the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage to see his true strength.
