Chapter 383

The great tribulation of the ages that he had been single-mindedly trying to prevent all these years.

His own son had actually played a part in it!

"This... this...."

For a moment,

Xiao Sanxiao was dumbfounded.

Even though his cultivation had long stood at the very peak of the Nine Provinces,

at this moment he was still struck hard by this news.

At the same time,

an endless surge of shame welled up in his heart.

The whole man also seemed to age considerably in that instant.

"They are nothing more than chess pieces."

"The true source still lies in You Dongying."

Taking in his reaction,

Ximen Wudi could not help but offer a word of comfort.

The expression on his face remained calm all the while.

Even though in this comprehensive martial arts world,

martial arts masters from You Dongying kept emerging one after another,

he had never once taken them to heart.

It was not contempt,

but a bone-deep disdain!

Because—

this was the comprehensive martial arts world!!

Even if he did not lift a finger, his Qinglong Society alone

would be enough to sweep through them at will!

Moreover,

the three great imperial dynasties—Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang—were no pushovers either!

If they truly wished to act,

any one of these three great imperial dynasties would be enough to annihilate them with the greatest of ease!

Without the slightest effort!!

And the Monk Sovereign's prophecy back then

had only been aimed at Yunzhou alone.

Compared with the Nine Provinces of today,

the gap between the two could well be imagined!

"Many thanks to the Great Dragon Head for informing me."

"For this kindness, Xiao will bear it firmly in mind!"

Bowing deeply,

Xiao Sanxiao said with sincere gratitude on his face.

This bow

was not submission born of martial might,

but the gratitude of a father weighed down by guilt.

One could well imagine—

had there been no such conversation today,

when the time came to gather enough hands to face the great tribulation of the ages head-on,

and he discovered his own son was among them,

how would he have faced himself then?

And how would he have faced the many experts?!

"It was merely each taking what he needed."

"Of course, this seat must still offer you one reminder."

"When a child won't listen, a beating will do the trick; if once is not enough, then two."

"If you approach him with nothing but a guilty heart seeking to make amends, the result will only be the opposite of what you desire!"

"I trust you will act accordingly!"

Ximen Wudi waved his hand, his face the picture of casual ease.

When it came to the latter few sentences,

a rather meaningful glint entered his eyes.

"Many thanks to the Great Dragon Head for the admonition."

Hearing these words,

Xiao Sanxiao's spirit gave a sudden jolt.

A glint of resolve flashed through his eyes, and he bowed once more.

The thought of making amends born of guilt

was forcibly suppressed in an instant.

Having lived this long.

On this point, he naturally understood it clearly.

It was just that, having concerned himself moments ago, he had forgotten it for the time being.

"Enough, go attend to your private matters first."

"When there is need, Benzuozi Society will send someone to contact you."

"Also, regarding You Dongying, Benzuo Society will send someone to go with you at that time."

As if knowing his urgency.

Ximen Wudi did not say more.

With a sweep of his wide sleeves, he made the arrangement thus.

"Yes, this subordinate takes his leave."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sanxiao nodded.

Then, without hesitation.

With a face full of respect, he cupped his fists, rose, and withdrew.

In his heart.

An endless sense of relief welled up.

Fortunately.

Fortunately he had made this trip.

Otherwise.

The consequences would truly be unimaginable!!

Thinking of this.

He immediately thought again of his two sons.

A flash of guilt passed through his eyes.

Darkening his old face, he gave a heavy snort.

Having made up his mind.

This time.

He would teach them a proper lesson!!.
