Xichengze is a three-character compound surname that also appeared in Huaxia, but finally disappeared in the vast mist of history. But in Hongmeng Continent, the surname Xichengze not only exists, but is also a big family.
On this day, after eight years of seclusion, the ancestor of Xichengze finally advanced to Taiqing and successfully came out of seclusion. The Xichengze family celebrated with great festivities and called almost the entire family back to their old home. Even married women came back with their husbands and children to celebrate. , not counting servants, there were more than 500 people, and the scene was quite lively.
A strange man suddenly came outside the gate of Xichengze's old house. This man was wearing a bamboo hat, his head was lowered and he said nothing. At first glance, he didn't look like someone from Xichengze's family came back to attend the celebration banquet.
"Excuse me, your Excellency..." The leader of the guard at Xichengze Gate took the initiative to greet him. Today's guard work must not be sloppy, but with so many people coming back from the Xichengze family, it is hard for anyone to say that there are not many weird people among these tribesmen.
This man had no intention of stopping, completely ignored the other party's questions, and walked back to the old house like no one else.
Seeing this situation, all the guards became alert and pulled out their knives.
The leader of the guard who asked the question winked at his men, and two people immediately stepped forward to stop him from moving forward. The next second, all the guards at the gate became disabled, either with no arms or legs, and screams suddenly started.
The cultivation level of these guards is very low. In a world where immortal cultivators roam the streets in Hongmeng Continent, the functions of such guards are mainly to show off the faces of wealthy families and to intimidate ordinary civilians. They have no effect on other immortal cultivators.
But the screams also attracted the attention of the people in the old house. The celebration party had not officially started yet, but everyone was already there. After all, no one dared to show up later than the ancestor.
Almost everyone instinctively looked towards the door, but several figures jumped up and appeared around the uninvited guest wearing a bamboo hat.
Four Qianyuan Realm people surrounded the guests in bamboo hats in the center, and another person appeared directly in front.
The four Qianyuan realms are not the descendants of the Ze family in Xicheng City, but are the real defense force in the old house. They are not comparable to the low-level monks who are responsible for guarding the door.
"Who are you, who dare to cause trouble on the day when my ancestor of the Ze family in Xicheng comes out of seclusion!"
The person who spoke was Xicheng Zehua, one of the sons of the current head of the family. He was in the early stages of the Phaseless Realm and was considered one of the most powerful figures in the Xicheng Ze family.
The person who came didn't talk nonsense at all. He stretched out his palm to Xicheng Zehua and strangled his neck, and then flew deep into the old house. The four guards were shocked and wanted to chase after him. The man in the hat casually waved his hand behind him. A strong force knocked the four people away. Although they were not killed, they were seriously injured.
Hundreds of people from the Xicheng Ze family saw a scene they had never imagined. Xicheng Zehua, who was in the phaseless realm, was hit hard on the ground. With a bang, a big hole was made in the ground. However, the injury was not serious, not only because Xicheng Zehua's physical body could withstand it, but mainly because the man in the hat did not strike hard.
Everyone present was shocked, and the head of the family, Xicheng Zeti, was also shocked. However, he was the head of the family after all. On the surface, he could still maintain his stability. Faced with the unexpected situation, he calmly said: "I don't know whether the senior has anything to do with the Xicheng Ze family." What grudge?"
No matter how stupid you are, you can see that the hat guest's appearance today must not have happened to meet the ancestor coming out of seclusion, but was intentional. In addition, seeing how casually he dealt with the phaseless realm, this person must be too pure in cultivation.
The ancestor of the Xicheng Ze family had just entered the Taiqing Dynasty after leaving seclusion. It could be said that the cultivation level of this man in a hat was still higher than that of his ancestor. Xicheng Zeti's call of "senior" was not unfair at all.
The man with a bamboo hat slowly took off his hat, and everyone was shocked when they saw his face.
"Xun'er?"
The guest in the bamboo hat is named Xicheng Zexun, and calls the head of the family, Xicheng Zeti, grandpa. His grandfather is Xicheng Zeti’s younger brother. Xicheng Zexun's mother is the head wife, and her natal family is also somewhat powerful. Xicheng Zexun's life has been pretty good since he was a child. According to the rules of the Xicheng Ze family, he will also be qualified to succeed the head of the family in the future, but he will only be ranked lower.
Everything has changed dramatically from four years ago.
His grandfather's family got into trouble with a big force. As his son-in-law, his father claimed to be a descendant of the Ze family in Xicheng, so he supported his father-in-law's family. Unexpectedly, the conflict was not resolved, and he himself was hacked to death by the other party. Grandpa Ze Xun’s family in Xicheng City was even more brutally wiped out. The Xichengze family would not risk their entire family for one child, and there was nothing wrong with swallowing their anger. However, in order to please this powerful force, the Xichengze family planned to hand over the three of them, mother and son. Zexun's grandfather in Xicheng City was so angry that he couldn't bear to die when he learned that his son had been killed. When he heard that his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren were also going to be handed over, he was so angry that he died. Once grandpa died, no one could protect the three of them, mother and son.
Wei Shihuan was a servant who had taken care of the Zexun brothers in Xicheng since they were young. The night before he was sent out, Wei Shihuan secretly let the mother and son go. Unfortunately, they were overtaken before they could escape far, and Xicheng Zexun resisted desperately. Unfortunately, the person chasing after him was Xicheng Zefeng, who had a long-standing feud with Xicheng Zexun and his family. He was also the grandson of the family owner and the real future helmsman of the family.
This person was not here to capture anyone, but he was clearly here to kill people, so he immediately ordered the three people to be killed.
Xicheng Zefeng couldn't handle it alone, let alone more than a dozen strong men employed by the family. Xicheng Zexun watched his mother and younger brother die in front of his eyes. At the critical moment, Wei Shihuan arrived to hold Xicheng Zefeng, and Xicheng Zexun Then he escaped with serious injuries and disappeared without a trace, as if this person had never existed in the world.
Four years later, Xicheng Zexun appeared at this time, obviously coming back for revenge.
"Are you really Xun'er?" The head of the family, Xicheng Zeti, said with a trembling voice and a look of disbelief on his face.
"Xicheng Zefeng, his son, and you are going to die. I can let the rest of the Xicheng Ze family go."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Are you going to kill the family head, grandfather and grandson? Xicheng Zexun's tone must have been too loud. But thinking about his previous actions, it made people feel that he was not talking big words.
"Xicheng Zexun! I don't know what fortunes you have had in the past four years, and I don't care what your current level of cultivation is, but as a descendant of the Xicheng Ze family, it would be treason to kill the head of the family!"
An old man who was more senior than the head of the family reprimanded him, speaking righteously and without fear of the power of Xicheng Zexun.
Xicheng Zexun glanced at the old man, "Now let's talk about the truth. When we, mother and son, were chased by Xicheng Zefeng, where were you people?"
When the last word was spoken, Xicheng Zexun slapped him, and the old man was immediately knocked away. He was neither dead nor fainted. He just lay on the ground unable to do anything except gasp.
Everyone in the Xichengze family was shocked. They couldn't imagine that this man dared to take action directly against such a senior elder.
"Whoever dares to say another nonsense, this is what will happen." Xicheng Zexun looked around, no one dared to say another word, and many people did not even have the courage to look at him.
"Xicheng Zexun! I have been looking for you for four years, and now you dare to come back?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person coming was none other than Xicheng Zefeng and his father.
Xicheng Zefeng is a genius in the eyes of the clan. Not only is he highly qualified in cultivation, but he is also experienced in doing things. He is the perfect candidate to be the next head of the family. And his father, the eldest son of the current head of the family, is not outstanding in all aspects, he is timid and has no sense of existence. If he hadn't given birth to a good son, most people in the family would not even be able to remember his name.
"Xicheng Zefeng, the day you killed my mother and brother, I said that as long as I don't die, I will definitely kill you!"
Xicheng Zexun's eyes were stern. Although his expression was calm, the killing intent in his eyes was as if an ancient beast was about to go on a killing spree.
Xicheng Zefeng was not present before. Although he felt from the embarrassed appearance of Xicheng Zehua and the old man that Xicheng Zexun was not easy to deal with now, he never expected that he would be so strong.
When Xicheng Zexun faced his enemy, he didn't intend to say anything at all. The spiritual sword flashed in his hand, and a sword filled with hatred stabbed Xicheng Zefeng's chest like lightning.
The head of the family, Xicheng Zeti, was well prepared. He was also an old man in the martial arts world, and he knew that Xicheng Zexun was ruthless and decisive in his attacks, but even if he tried his best, he couldn't stop the power of this sword.
A figure blocked Xicheng Zefeng at the critical moment. Two powerful spiritual powers clashed together, making a dull explosion.
