Chapter 7:-for-tat
In this cruel continent, there is no strength that is not even as good as that shit, at least no one is willing to step on that shit yet.
In the past few days when Xiao Changkong was still cultivating with peace of mind, there was once again boiling news from the family.
It was not only Xiao Yun, the son of the eldest elder, who returned to the Xiao family to participate in the family coming-of-age ceremony, but also Xiao Ping'er, the daughter of the second elder, and Xiao Zhan, the son of the third elder, who also came back.
Unlike Xiao Yun, Xiao Ping'er apprenticed in Xinglu Academy, and Xiao Zhan apprenticed in the Heavenly Netherworld Sect.
Whether it is the Star Deer Academy or the Heavenly Netherworld Sect, its strength is only stronger than that of the Liuyun Sect.
However, Xiao Changkong didn't know anything about these three people, and he didn't have to know this, how could Xiao Changkong's opponent be an ordinary person.
The next day, the Xiao family's meeting hall.
"Father, my daughter is back."
Xiao Ping'er walked in happily from outside the conference hall and said happily.
"Father, the child has returned."
Then followed by a young man, about seventeen, one meter eighty-five tall, handsome, carrying a long sword, and walking into the conference hall very handsomely.
"Hahaha, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." Xiao Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Ping'er has seen the head of the house." Xiao Ping'er hurriedly bowed to Xiao Xiaotian and said.
Then Xiao Zhan also followed closely and performed a basic etiquette towards Xiao Xiaotian.
"Imperial Spirit Realm Double?"
Xiao Zhongtian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after feeling his daughter's cultivation strength.
"Ping'er's niece is very talented, and she has already reached the second level of cultivation in the Imperial Spirit Realm at the age of sixteen, which is really not easy." Xiao Xiaotian said.
"It's just that it's only the second level of the Imperial Spirit Realm, and I've also reached this realm." Xiao Zhan snorted coldly and said.
"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say that you've reached this realm too? You're a year older than me. Xiao Ping'er sneered.
It seems that the two do not seem to be in harmony, and the competition between them can be clearly seen.
"What if you are a year older, even if you are in the same realm, I can defeat you." Xiao Zhan said coldly.
Looking at Xiao Zhan's appearance, it seems that he is challenging Xiao Ping'er, but the two sides do not have too much grievances, and it is not as serious as a life and death battle book.
In the entire Changxing Continent, all large and small families are able to fight life and death, let alone this kind of ordinary battle, simple fighting, no one will stop it.
"There's a lot of nonsense, when the clan compares, I'll let you know what the talent gap is." Xiao Ping'er said a little angrily.
After speaking, Xiao Ping'er bowed to her father, and then bowed to Xiao Xiaotian and the other two elders, and then didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Zhan, and walked out of the meeting hall.
"Father, the child went down first." Xiao Zhan also owed a debt and said.
After Xiao Zhan's figure gradually disappeared into the meeting hall, Xiao Xiaotian and the three elders looked at each other and smiled.
"Three elders, look at the competition between the juniors in these clans, do you have the demeanor we had back then, hahaha." Xiao Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Alas, the years are unforgiving, and in a blink of an eye, we are old, and we have half a foot in the coffin." Third Elder Xiao Huan said.
"Third child, I don't like to hear what you say, but I still want to hold my great-grandson, how can I be willing to enter the coffin so quickly." Great Elder Xiao Can said.
Immediately, the four of them looked at each other and laughed.
Time passed quietly, and the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony officially kicked off.
"Whew!"
After Xiao Changkong exhaled a long breath of turbidity, the whole person felt energetic, stretched his waist for a long time, put on his family clothes, and walked towards the door.
Today's Xiao family is particularly lively, because this day is the day when the Xiao family holds a coming-of-age ceremony.
"Did you hear the news, this family's coming-of-age ceremony also invited the city lord to visit together."
"The city lord has a lot of opportunities, and he also has time to participate in my Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"You don't know this, the children of the three elders of the clan have returned one after another, they are all under the worship of the big forces, it may be because of this that the city lord is attracted to the Xiao family."
Xiao Changkong walked on the road of the family, and his ears that could hear a hundred miles heard the whispers of the people in the clan.
"The children of the three elders? I want to see who is stronger. ”
In his heart, Xiao Changkong raised his fist, and a strange smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking forward to fighting with him.
The sun was blazing, and it was already noon at this time, and there were hundreds of Xiao family children standing neatly below the Xiao family's martial arts arena.
Above the viewing seat, sitting with Xiao Xiaotian was the city lord of Luotian City, Luo Wanli.
Luo Wanli has been in charge of Luo Tiancheng for more than ten years, and under the control of Luo Wanli, the people of Luo Tiancheng have enough food and clothing, and they do not close their doors at night, but they are thriving.
If you underestimate Luo Wanli's strength because of this, it would be a big mistake.
Luo Wanli has the fivefold cultivation of the Spirit Realm, and his strength is unfathomable.
"Stop, how can the land of the Xiao family allow you to be presumptuous!"
Just as the Xiao family was about to hold a family coming-of-age ceremony, a group of uninvited guests rushed in.
"Thunder Leopard, what do you want to do?"
Xiao Xiaotian looked at the person who broke into the Xiao family, who was the Lei family, the sworn enemy of the Xiao family in Luotian City, and his face suddenly turned bad.
"Xiao Xiaotian, I heard that your Xiao family held a family coming-of-age ceremony today, can't I bring my Lei family juniors to watch the ceremony?" Lei Leopard scoffed.
"Watching the ceremony? My Xiao family didn't invite you, how can you talk about the ceremony, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame my Xiao family for being polite. Great Elder Xiao Can said angrily.
"What? Could it be that your Xiao family is afraid that my Lei family will not succeed, and the junior clan is naturally indispensable to my Lei family. Lei Leopard said coldly.
In Luotian City, in addition to the city lord, there are three major families, among which are the Xiao family, the Lei family and the Ram family.
The Ram family is deeply rooted in Luo Tiancheng, and the Lei family is also close behind, but this Xiao family is relocated from other places, so the background is weaker than the two major families.
The Ram family has always remained neutral in Luo Tiancheng, and did not take the initiative to provoke any party, on the other hand, this Lei family is different, and there are frictions with the Xiao family from time to time, and even a few times the two sides have fought hard, but in the end the war was quelled by the city lord.
Looking at today's situation, the Lei family is obviously not ready to let the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony go on well.
"Afraid of your Lei junior? Hahaha, joke! Xiao Xiaotian said angrily.
"Since you're not afraid, how about we change the way of being at your Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony today?" Lei Leopard said with a smile.
"How to compare?" Xiao Xiaotian said.
"My Lei family junior and your Xiao family junior will compete, if your Xiao family loses, give me the mining rights of the crystal ore in the northwest to my Lei family to mine." Thunder Leopard said coldly.
Xiao Xiaotian's face suddenly sank, it seems that this Thunder Leopard was premeditated, the crystal mine in the northwest is where most of the Xiao family's heritage lies, if it is taken away by the Lei family, then the Xiao family will face the danger of extinction.
"And what if you lose?" Xiao Can said angrily.
"If my Lei family loses, I will also give the mining rights of the crystal mine in the south, with a Beiling Villa." Lei Leopard swore and said.
"Beiling Villa?!"
Xiao Xiaotian and the three elders of the Xiao family exclaimed at the same time, in their opinion, this move of the Lei family was undoubtedly to disrupt the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony with the idea of victory.
Beiling Villa is located in the center of Luotian City, it is an inn, and unlike ordinary inns, this inn was carved by the spirit array master.
Different from Xiao Changkong's Imperial Spirit Essence Array carved with low-grade spars, Beiling Mountain Villa is an adsorption spirit array carved by a four-grade spirit array master with tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, which can absorb the aura of thousands of miles and gather in the mountain villa and provide it to martial artists to practice.
Of course, the people who can enter Beiling Mountain Villa are not ordinary people, and the first condition for entering it is to pay the corresponding high-grade spars, and how many high-grade spirit stones will be paid for as long as they enter.
With Beiling Villa as a source of income, the Lei family's family background is much stronger than the Xiao family, but the reason why the Lei family has not been able to eliminate the Xiao family for a long time is that the city lord is secretly helping the Xiao family.
The three major families of Luo Tiancheng have become full of momentum, if they are dominated by the Lei family, then Luo Tiancheng will not be so easy to govern, and Luo Wanli will not understand.
"What's the matter, is the Xiao family willing to agree?" Lei Leopard glanced at Xiao Xiaotian contemptuously and said coldly.
"Don't worry, patriarch, Ping'er is willing to fight."
Xiao Ping'er was too angry, and when she saw that the patriarch Xiao Xiaotian didn't dare to agree, she took the initiative to ask for help.
