Chapter 21: The Only Hope
Just as they were talking, a voice suddenly sounded throughout the martial arts arena.
"The competition just now is the best two of your Xue family's younger generation! It's really good! However, this is the end of the show, and everyone here should have seen enough, so let's put on a good show for you!"
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a group of people coming in at the entrance of the martial arts arena. The first one was about fifty years old, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes. Xue Wuxian looked at it without a trace, and the person who came turned out to be the head of the Lei family-Thunderstorm! The person behind Thunderstorm was Lei Tian, who was plotting with Xue Luoshan in the secret room that day!
"Oh yes! It seems that the people of the Xue family are very surprised by our arrival!" Seeing that all of them were looking at their own group of people, Thunderstorm said to Lei Tian behind him in a strange manner. Lei Tian smiled at the thunderstorm's words, but didn't say anything. His eyes kept looking at the person beside Xue Wuxian - Snow Falling Night!
Lei Tian still remembers that in the hunting competition he participated in when he was young, it was this strong appearance of the snowy night that took away his first place. Lei Tian is also a high-minded and arrogant person, how can he be willing to live behind others. This matter has always made Lei Tian linger, but after participating in that competition, Xue Luo went out at night, and finally came back a few years later, but soon left the family for unknown reasons. Therefore, although Lei Tian has always wanted to find Xue Luoye to wash away the shame of the year and prove himself, he has always suffered from no chance. Today I can finally do it, but I have a wish.
"Snow falls, let's have a good fight today!" Lei Tian thought to himself.
Seeing the arrival of everyone in the Lei family, all the high-level members of the Xue family stood up.
"Thunderstorm, what do you want to do when you come to my Xue house so excitedly, and how did you get in?" Great Elder Xue shouted without tears.
"Hehe, nothing, just wanted you to come and see you!As for how we got in, then just ask him!" Thunderstorm said, pointing to one of the men who had followed him.
The eyes of everyone in the Xue family looked at the middle-aged man to whom the thunderstorm was pointed. Everyone was in disbelief, only Xue Wuxian had an indifferent expression, as if he had known it for a long time.
"Why are you, you brought them into the Xue family?" the Great Elder's voice was full of surprise and disbelief.
"Hehe, that's right, I brought them here, how about it, I can't think of it!" Xue Luo Shanyin said to the Great Elder with a smile.
"Why are you doing this?" Xue Wu's tearless expression showed that he was already angry, and asked Snow Falling with a gloomy face.
"Why? Haha! That's a good question, then I'll tell you why, because I'm going to be the head of the Xue family, because I want to control everything in the Xue family. And it is not enough for me to do this alone, so I use half of the Xue family's property to invite the help of the Lei family, in order to eradicate all the stumbling blocks of you old immortals!" Xue Luoshan said viciously and loudly.
When the snow fell on the mountain, it fell on the ears of everyone in the Xue family, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and for the sake of the head of the Xue family, he did not hesitate to promise to give half of the Lei family's property, how stupid it was. Bringing everyone from the Lei family to the Xue family to eradicate the elders of their own family is even more foolish, if all the masters of the Xue family are eliminated by the people brought by the Lei family, then will the Lei family still leave a Xue family that can be destroyed without much effort?
Xue Wuxian just sat there, not saying anything, without any expression. It's just that the teacup he was holding in his hand has disappeared at this moment, leaving only the imprint of a puddle of tea on the ground. Xue Wuxian is really uncomfortable in his heart now, his son, in order to compete for the position of the head of his family, actually let him join forces with the Lei family to eradicate the masters in the family who do not support him, this practice is tantamount to giving away the family business that the Xue family has worked so hard to build. Snow falling down the mountain does this, how can it not make people's teeth cold.
"Old man Snow, you don't seem surprised at all! Could it be that you already knew we were coming?" Could it be that this old man is not angry at all?
"You're right, it's just that I didn't expect you to strike so quickly. I thought you'd wait until the hunting game!" Xue Wuxian said lightly, but no one could feel the depression in his tone.
Snow Without a Trace's last sentence was obviously said to the snow falling on the mountain. The snow falling on the mountain naturally also heard.
"What? you already knew I was going to do it, so why didn't you stop me?" Xue Luoshan was obviously still a little weak when he spoke to Xue Wuji, no matter what, it was his father.
"You are my son, how can I stop you? For the sake of this position of the head of the family, you have even done the thing of killing your father and brother, if I want to stop you, the only way to stop you is to kill you, but you are still my child after all, no matter what, this cannot be changed. Now anyone in the Xue family can kill you, but I can't, because I'm your father, and no matter what you do wrong, I can't do it! I originally had a glimmer of hope for you, hoping that you would be able to turn around and mend your ways, but today, you finally broke this last trace of illusion in me. Xue Wuxi's voice was full of bitterness, and his wrinkled face seemed to have added a bit of vicissitudes.
"So you already knew, hehe! I thought I was secretive enough!" Xue Luoshan didn't have a trace of guilt and repentance on his face, but his expression was a little lost.
"Not only that, do you think I really didn't know about your assassination of your eldest brother before? Your eldest brother didn't want his brothers to kill each other, so he chose to leave the family, but instead of repenting, you even intensified it, and did not hesitate to join forces with our opponent of the Xue family to get rid of the stumbling block, for the position of the head of the family, you really have six relatives who deny it, and I am not the enemy?" Xue Wuxian finally couldn't hold back his anger, stood up from his seat, pointed to the snow falling down the mountain, and asked loudly.
"I don't recognize my six relatives? I don't distinguish between friend and foe? Hehe! I only want rights and interests! I don't distinguish between friend and foe, as long as I can help me gain benefits, I am a friend. Snow Falling Mountain replied loudly. Xue Wuxi's hands were trembling, and his heart was already completely disappointed that the snow had fallen.
"Okay, okay, what are mother-in-law and mother-in-law talking about here, the snow is without a trace, and you only have two roads today. First, give me half of the Xue family's property, and the second way, that is, death!" said Thunderstorm to Xue Wuji. He was no longer interested in caring about the Xue family's family affairs, which had nothing to do with him. He didn't care what Xue Luoshan did, he cared about the Xue family's industry. The rest, he doesn't care. And the purpose of coming to the thunderstorm this time is not to help Xue Luoshan become the head of the Xue family, he will not do such a thing for the general property of the Xue family. He wants all the property of the entire Xue family, not half of the property of the Xue family. As for the snow falling down the mountain, it is just a chess piece that can easily enter the snow family.
"Do you think that no one in the Xue family is your opponent?"
"Hehe! You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!Then let you see my strength!" As he spoke, a majestic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi frantically poured out of the thunderstorm's body, and a powerful coercion instantly swept through the entire martial arts training ground, and the weaker people all felt like there was a boulder in their chests, and they couldn't breathe. Even the elders of the Xue family had a feeling that they were having trouble breathing. Xue Wuxian also felt this powerful coercion, and could only resist it with his own vitality.
The strength of this coercion is completely beyond the possession of people in the Spirit Yuan Realm.
"Thunderstorm, I can't imagine that you have broken through to the Human Yuan Realm, no wonder you have such confidence. Xue Wuxian asked as he resisted the coercion unleashed by the thunderstorm.
"Hahaha! Now I know it's a little late, how about it? Hmph! The strength of the Human Yuan Realm is completely different from the Spirit Yuan Realm, and the ten peaks of the Spirit Yuan Realm will not be my opponent, Xue Wuxi, you might as well be obediently restrained! Maybe I will spare you for the sake of your age!" said Thunderstorm with a wild laugh.
"Dream!" Xue Wuxian already understood that the Xue family could no longer stop the thunderstorm, just like the thunderstorm said, the gap between the Spirit Yuan Realm and the Human Yuan Realm was not just a realm gap at all. The transformation of the Spirit Yuan Realm to the Human Yuan Realm is a qualitative transformation, and it is not something that can be won by quantity alone, so it is not a lie that the ten Spirit Yuan Realm peaks mentioned by Thunderstorm are not his opponents.
Xue Wuxian knew that the Xue family was in a catastrophe this time. His eyes looked at Xue Chen, and said to Xue Luoye: "After a while, I will fight to block the thunderstorm for a while, you leave with Xue Chen immediately, no matter what happens, don't come back, as long as Xue Chen is here, there is still a glimmer of hope for the Xue family." ”
Xue Luoye looked at her father, her lips squirming, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"No, I'm not leaving, I'm also a member of the Xue family, I can't watch the Xue family be destroyed in the hands of the Lei family like this. Xue Chen said to his grandfather.
"Shut up! You stay just to die one more person, the strength of the thunderstorm is no longer something we can fight against! Only if you escape, the Xue family may still have a glimmer of hope, if you also die here, the Xue family really has no hope!" Xue Wuxian said to Xue Chen seriously.
"However, let me watch the Xue family being destroyed, and I ran for my life, I can't do it!"
"Child, you are not running for your life, but you are preserving the last hope of our Xue family. Be obedient, after the battle starts, you will find a chance to leave immediately!" the Great Elder said to Xue Chen. He heard Xue Wuxi's words just now, and he also understood that Xue Chen was now the only hope for the Xue family, and only by protecting him would the Xue family have a future.
Xue Chen was silent, he didn't know what to say. Yes, in the face of such a strong enemy, there is nothing you can do at all, and rushing forward is just sending you to death. Only by saving his life can he take revenge when he has the strength in the future. Thinking of this, Xue Chen lowered his head and said softly, "I know." ”
"Good boy, remember, you are the only hope of our Xue family! The future of the Xue family is in your hands!"
