Chapter 636: Sooner or later there will be a battle

Upon hearing, Xiao Hongjie instantly thought of Lin Yang.

He hesitated a moment, then said to the Xiao Clan Ancestor.

"Ancestor, he is a Nascent Soul Elder, but merely a youngster in his twenties."

Upon hearing, the Xiao Clan Ancestor's eyes instantly flashed with sharp light.

He looked at Xiao Hongjie and said with a chuckle.

"Hongjie, are you joking? A Nascent Soul in his twenties?"

"Then what are we?"

"Even someone from that world couldn't become a Nascent Soul in his twenties!"

Hearing this, Xiao Hongjie gave a wry smile and said.

"He is currently in the Xiao Clan; you can go see him."

The Xiao Clan Ancestor fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Fine, I'll go see this Nascent Soul!"

He wore green robes and walked out of the secret chamber.

As he left the secret chamber, Lin Yang, who was sitting in the hall, also sensed something.

His gaze turned downward.

Seeing Lin Yang looking down, Xiao Guowei asked.

"Mr. Lin, did you drop something?"

Lin Yang laughed and shook his head.

"No, I just sensed something."

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Xiao Guowei also glanced at the ground.

In his perception, there was nothing.

After thinking, he said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, did you meet the Jiang Clan Ancestor that day?"

"Yes."

Xiao Guowei immediately asked: "Did you fight him?"

Because, Jiang Hao knelt on the ground before everyone.

Xiao Guowei thought it likely that Lin Yang had defeated the Jiang Clan Ancestor.

If that were true, he would surely seize Lin Yang with all his might!

Upon hearing, Lin Yang chuckled and said to Xiao Guowei.

"We didn't fight; we merely brushed against each other."

"In the end, the Ancient One arrived and prevented us from fighting."

"Otherwise, Yanjing City would have been destroyed."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Xiao Guowei frowned.

They didn't fight; likely the Ancient One intervened.

But in the end Jiang Hao knelt; probably the Ancient One showed bias.

Thus, the Ancient One surely stands behind Lin Yang.

However, the grudge between Lin Yang and the Jiang Clan is likely settled just like that!

Thinking this, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Seeing him shake his head, Lin Yang inquired.

"Xiao Clan Chief, is there something you want to say?"

Xiao Guowei laughed heartily.

"Initially you had us pick sides, but now it seems you and the Jiang Clan have reconciled."

"Indeed, grievances should be resolved, not perpetuated."

Lin Yang looked at him, shook his head, and said.

"No, I and the Jiang Clan can only settle debts with blood!"

"Jiang Hao must die, but the Jiang Clan Ancestor won't agree either; thus, we are bound to fight."

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Xiao Guowei was stunned.

He didn't understand: if a battle is inevitable, why did Jiang Hao kneel that day?

Seeing his doubt, Lin Yang said.

"Because I forced him to kneel."

"Although I cannot kill the Jiang Clan Ancestor, killing Jiang Hao is still easy."

"Just as I could kill someone before your eyes."

Saying this, he glanced at Xiao Zhenjun and Xiao Zhenyu.

Having been glanced at, the two felt a bit afraid.

This is a genuine Nascent Soul Elder; they dare not provoke him.

The two instantly lowered their heads, silent.

Xiao Zhenxing watched them and couldn't help but sneer.

These two were just arrogant a moment ago.

Now they've become so obedient; don't they feel ashamed?

But out of brotherly loyalty, he didn't say it directly.

After hearing Lin Yang's words, Xiao Guowei curiously asked.

So, when are you going to make a move?

We have already agreed to fight three months later in Yan Suburbs.

Upon hearing that there would be a battle three months later, Xiao Guowei began to ponder.

He asked, "How confident are you?"

Before, when Lin Yang declared war on the Jiang Clan, they thought Lin Yang was like an egg striking a stone and did not intend to help.

Only some families, wondering if Lin Yang could defy heaven.

Otherwise, they would have long since joined the Jiang Clan to surround and suppress Lin Yang.

Now, the strength Lin Yang has shown, as well as the ancient one standing behind him, are worthy of their bets.

Lin Yang heard this and laughed heartily.

In the battle three months from now, I will surely win!

Jiang Tianzu will surely be a soul beneath my sword!

Hearing this, Xiao Guowei narrowed his eyes.

Young friend, are you really that confident you can defeat Jiang Tianzu?

An old man in green robes slowly walked over.

The old man looked at Lin Yang, who was in his twenties, and his brows furrowed.

Although Lin Yang was suppressing it, he still felt the aura of Nascent Soul.

On the surface he merely frowned slightly, but inside he was utterly shocked.

Having lived over a hundred years, this was the first time he had seen such a young Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lin Yang looked at him and said with a smile.

Old sir, you must be the ancestor of the Xiao Clan.

You are from the same era as Jiang Tianzu.

The Xiao Clan ancestor nodded.

Not bad, I am from the same era as him.

So I know exactly how strong he is.

Although you are also a Nascent Soul, I think you are no match for him!

Young friend, you are a bit too arrogant.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhenjun and the others also began to clamor.

Have you heard what our ancestor said?

You are too arrogant; sooner or later you will suffer a great loss!

Xiao Zhenyu then said.

You can only bully us; if you ever meet a true big shot, I see you having nothing to do but run.

Lin Yang ignored the two and instead chuckled as he spoke to the Xiao Clan ancestor.

Old sir, your family's upbringing seems to have some problems.

Xiao Zhenyu snorted coldly.

Our family's affairs are none of your business.

Xiao Guowei immediately shouted.

Shut up!

Seeing his father angry, Xiao Zhenyu finally fell silent.

At this moment, the Xiao Clan old man gestured for the two, Xiao Zhenjun, to come over.

Come over, let the ancestor have a look.

The two, upon hearing this, felt delighted in their hearts.

They thought the ancestor was planning to help them vent their anger.

Thus, the two happily ran to stand before the Xiao Clan ancestor.

The Xiao Clan ancestor looked at them and sighed.

Our Xiao Clan fears most the appearance of such a person.

Not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, if I were to go, it would easily bring a deadly disaster upon the Xiao Clan!

Having said that, he fiercely slapped them twice across the face.

After the beating, he then turned his gaze to Xiao Guowei.

From today onward, cancel their funding.

Send them to a remote region to temper themselves for two years!

During this period, they must not reveal their identities; if they do, they will be killed on the spot—do you understand?

The ancestor spoke, and Xiao Guowei dared not disobey.

Yes, sir!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenjun's and the other's faces all changed dramatically.

They still pleaded for mercy, but were taken away.

After they were taken away, the Xiao Clan ancestor looked toward Lin Yang.

Young friend, how about we spar?

Let me see if you have the strength to defeat Jiang Tianzu.
