Chapter 1: Elite Tournament
The cold wind whistled and blew, and the heavy rain outside the house fell madly from the sky, and between the lightning and thunder, it rubbed the earth fiercely, as if the end of the world.
Shushan City, the Yang family's mansion, a tall and mighty middle-aged man, standing solemnly on the main hall, his brows tightly locked, which made the breath in the hall more and more dignified!
"Yang Xiao's six souls are mutilated, congenitally insufficient, and he will not be able to cultivate martial arts for the rest of his life, and the qualification of the family heir must be cancelled, this is a resolution issued by the Council of Elders!" said an old man with a childish face and a brocade robe.
"The arrangement of the heir is the most important thing related to the rise and fall of the family, when will it be your turn to point fingers, do you still have me as the head of the family in your eyes?" The middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily, this man is the head of the Yang family, Yang Batian.
"The head of the house?"
"Can the head of the family cover the sky with one hand? My Yang family has a thousand-year inheritance, known as one of the four major families of the Ice Cloud Star, and it is powerful in the world, how can a waste be the head of the family, not to mention the Elders, I, Yang Xiong, am the first to disagree. The old man in the brocade robe glared at Yang Batian and said, not afraid at all because the other party was the head of the family.
The galaxy where the Yang family is located is called the Holy Dragon Galaxy, and there are only three planets in the galaxy that can be inhabited, the Black Dragon Star, the Ice Cloud Star, and the Ethereal Star, and in the north of the Holy Dragon Galaxy, there is a chaotic and dark nebula, which the world calls the Dark Nebula.
Legend has it that this dark nebula is the place where the gods fell in ancient times, and monsters are rampant, dangerous and abnormal, and people who are not powerful cannot enter. And this Yang family is one of the four major families of Bingyun Star, located in Shushan City, inherited for thousands of years, and is one of the best behemoths on the planet. Martial arts are prevalent in Bingyun Star, everyone practices martial arts, and the people are fierce, and within this Yang family, there are many factions, which are very complicated.
"Okay, the family must have family rules, all the descendants of the Yang family have the right to compete, look at their own performance!" Yang Batian was silent for a moment and said coldly.
"Okay, I'll go and tell the Council of Elders, choose to have an elite competition, and choose the heir of the head of the family. The old man snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Looking at the back of the old man, Yang Batian was very angry in his heart, he was known as one of the best masters of the Yang family, and the son he gave birth to was actually a waste, they all said that the tiger father had no dog, what did he give birth to.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, turned his head to the guards in front of the main hall and shouted, "Call Yang Xiao." ”
Moment......
"Father, are you looking for me? Xiao'er misses her father very much, and you haven't come to accompany Xiao'er recently. A child who was only five or six years old ran into the hall in a hurry, pouting and saying sullenly, this child is Yang Xiao.
Yang Batian glanced at Yang Xiao coldly: "From today on, you will go to live in Xiangyun Pavilion, and I will let Mr. Zhuge accompany you." ”
Yang Xiao looked at his father inexplicably, his little face full of doubts.
"Sir!" As if he didn't see the doubts in Yang Xiao's eyes, Yang Batian turned his head, faced the empty hall, and said with a slight respect.
Suddenly!
A figure slowly appeared in the empty hall, like a ghost.
"Mr. Trouble took Yang Xiao to Xiangyun Pavilion and handed him over to Wang Zhi, as for Mr., where to cultivate in the future. Yang Batian sighed slightly and said to the figure.
"Is this really going to be the case? The figure gradually became clearer, but it was a middle-aged man with a kind face.
"Let's go......" After speaking, Yang Batian turned around and walked outside the main hall.
"Father, don't you want me? I don't want to leave my father, please, I'm not naughty anymore, father, don't leave me, okay?" As long as the five-year-old Yang Xiao, although he doesn't know what happened, but he is sensible, he understands that after today, I am afraid that he will never see his father again, his eyes were instantly filled with tears, holding Yang Batian's hand, begging.
Yang Batian stopped and sighed: "Xiao'er, you have to remember that our Yang family, don't be wasted." ”
With that, he left the empty hall without looking back, leaving only the heart-rending cry of a five-year-old child.
......
On the west side of Shushan, there is a mountain forest of a thousand miles in size, in which the peaks and peaks are undulating, like waves rolling, and the huge waves are emptied. Looking down at the bottom of the mountain, the strange rocks are craggy and the abyss is thousands of feet. This strangeness, beauty, and danger are intertwined to form a beautiful picture.
At this time, on a steep mountain wall, there was a half-grown teenager, calmly looking at the steep mountain forest shrouded in mist opposite, where there was a barren forest, and in the forest there was a manor like a paradise-Xiangyun Pavilion.
This young man is Yang Xiao, who was banished to Xiangyun Pavilion at the beginning, and unconsciously, three years have passed, and he has never returned to Shushan City, let alone seen his biological father......
"For the sake of the dignity of the head of the family, you did not hesitate to throw your own flesh and blood in this barren mountain for three years, you are really ruthless, one day, I will let everyone in the Yang family know that I, Yang Xiao, am not a waste!" The young man shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly, and said in a low voice, a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Suddenly-
At the foot of the mountain road, a black-clothed man galloped over, and when he saw Yang Xiao sitting on the top of the mountain, he said loudly from afar: "Young master, Steward Wang invites you to the cabinet!"
"Hmm. ”
Yang Xiao immediately stood up, walked towards the big man in black, and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”
Looking at the young man's immature face, the big man nodded kindly, and when he turned around, a trace of imperceptible regret flashed in his eyes, and he sighed in his heart: "If the young master can practice martial arts, he won't be driven out by the head of the family...!"
After a while, Yang Xiao followed the black-clothed man back to Xiangyun Pavilion, and finally stopped outside the solemn welcome hall, knocked on the door, and then gently pushed the door in.
The hall is very spacious, and there are a lot of people in it, and the two sitting at the top are Wang Zhi, the housekeeper of Xiangyun Pavilion, and an old man with an indifferent face.
Some puzzled eyes swept over the two of them, the old man was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, full of smiles, full of energy, a pair of small eyes, but it was a flash of fine light, Yang Xiao's gaze moved down slightly, and finally stopped on the old man's chest, his heart suddenly froze, on the old man's chest, there was a blood-colored coat of arms, which was the symbol of the Yang Patriarch's Association.
"Family Elder, could it be that this old man is a member of the Council of Elders?" Yang Xiao was surprised in his heart.
The people who can become the elders of the family, all of them are powerful people, and they are even more powerful in the family, and it is no wonder that Yang Xiao was surprised to see an elder appear in front of him.
"Steward Wang, Elder!" stepped forward quickly, and Yang Xiao bowed respectfully to the two people on the upper position.
"Hehe, Yang Xiao, sit down. Looking at Yang Xiao's arrival, Wang Zhi stopped talking and laughing with the elder, nodded at him, and waved his hand.
Yang Xiao smiled and nodded, turned around and swept through the hall, found a chair at random, and sat down.
"Ahem. The old man in the brocade robe coughed lightly, stood up and arched his hand at Wang Zhi, and said with a smile: "Steward Wang, this time I came here to discuss something with you!"
"Elder Yang Guang, if you have something to say, as long as I can do it, it will be my duty!" For this old man named Yang Guang, Wang Zhi was not easy to offend, and hurriedly said politely, but because he didn't know what the other party was asking for, he didn't dare to say too much.
"Hehe, Steward Wang, today's matter is related to Yang Xiao, and this matter is still a joint resolution of the family elders..." Yang Guang chuckled, and when he mentioned the word elders, the expression on his face was slightly solemn.
His face changed slightly, Wang Zhi also restrained his smile, Yang Xiao's father was oppressed by Elder Yang Xiong, and finally drove Yang Xiao out of the house and banished him to this barren forest.
Thinking of the recent rumors that the Elder Council was going to hold an elite competition, the corners of Wang Zhi's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and he said in a condensed voice: "Elder Yang Guang, please speak!"
"Cough..."Yang Guang's face suddenly appeared a touch of embarrassment, but remembering Yang Xiong's explanation before leaving, he had to grit his teeth and said with a smile: "Steward Wang, this time it is decided by the Council of Elders that in the whole clan, in front of all the teenagers under the age of twelve, an elite competition will be held, and Yang Xiao, as the son of the head of the family, should participate...".
"However, the fists and feet have no eyes, Yang Xiao has no martial arts, if he comes to power, he may be damaged, and the elders will hope... Yang Xiao was able to give up this competition. ”
"Click!" The jade cup in Wang Zhi's hand suddenly turned into a puff of powder, obviously extremely angry.
In the hall, the atmosphere was suddenly a little silent.
"The Council of Elders is also for the sake of Yang Xiao, you have been the steward of the king all these years, you have taken care of Yang Xiao, you can make a decision..."Sighing helplessly, Yang Guang said lightly.
"If this is really the case, Yang Xiao was born unable to practice martial arts, and he has been expelled from the house for many years, but the elders of you family still refuse to let him go, do you still have a surname..."Wang Zhi glared at Yang Guang angrily and said with a roar.
"Hmph, don't forget your identity, I'm just here to inform you, and I didn't ask for your opinion. Hearing this, Yang Guang on the side frowned slightly, and couldn't help but snort coldly, the elder of his dignified family was actually scolded by a little housekeeper, what kind of system.
"You!" Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be even more angry: "I'm just a little housekeeper, but you can't be too lawless, no matter what Yang Xiao says, he is the son of the head of the family." ”
The solemn hall was silent, and Yang Guang's gaze suddenly shifted to Yang Xiao who was sitting in the corner.
Hearing this, Yang Xiao stepped up, first saluted Wang Zhi, then turned to face Elder Yang Guang, took a deep breath, and asked, "Elder Yang Guang, may I ask, am I a child of the Yang family?"
Yang Guang stared at Yang Xiao for a moment, then stood up and said in a flat tone: "Of course you are from my Yang family. ”
"Since I am a member of the Yang family, why can't I participate in the Elite Competition? This Elite Tournament is the rule of my Yang family's inheritance for thousands of years, I think, no one in the family should dare not take the Yang family's family rules in their eyes, right?" Yang Xiao tilted his head slightly and stared at Yang Guang with a sneer.
Being pressed by Yang Xiao's big hat, Yang Guang was suddenly speechless, in the strict family, this kind of crime was enough to make him lose his position as an elder.
"The Council of Elders did not deprive you of the right to participate in the general election, it was just for your sake, there are no eyes in your fists and feet, in case of injury, it will not be good, if you really want to participate, the Council of Elders will give you the title of honorary champion, how about it?" Yang Guang shook his head helplessly and said.
In Yang Guang's mind, since you can't win the championship, why do you still want to participate? Now you will be given the title of honorary champion, it's always okay.
However, how did Yang Guang understand Yang Xiao's thoughts?
The deceit in the family, the tight pressure of the elders, all of this, made Yang Xiao, who was only five years old, banished by his biological father in this Xiangyun Pavilion, how cruel this is for a child.
However, although he is still just a child, years of loneliness have also created Yang Xiao's tenacious surname, but today's Yang Guang's actions have stabbed Yang Xiao's fragile heart.
Could it be that I, Yang Xiao, am just for this championship? Could it be that I, Yang Xiao, am just for this mere fame?
"Elder Yang Guang, it's really calculating!" staring deeply at Yang Guang in front of him, Yang Xiao gritted his teeth and said.
"Yang Xiao, what are you doing!" Wang Zhi, who was sitting next to Yang Guang, appeared beside Yang Xiao in a flash, and shouted in a deep voice. It seemed that Wang Zhi was scolding Yang Xiao, but when he looked closely, he faintly blocked Yang Xiao behind him, obviously worried that Yang Guang would suddenly kill him.
Seeing Wang Zhi's actions, Yang Xiao suddenly woke up, Yang Guang, as an elder of the family, has great powers, how can he be provoked by a powerless child?
Staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, thinking of this, Yang Xiao instantly restrained his emotions and looked at Yang Guang calmly.
"Hmph, at a young age, he is so forbearing, it seems that Elder Yang Xiong is right, if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles..."
"Yang Xiao, the Council of Elders is thinking about you, you... Let's give up!" With a gentle exhale, Yang Guang calmed down the murderous intent in his heart and said in a deep voice.
"Elder Yang Guang, don't worry, the position of the head of the family, I, Yang Xiao, will definitely not participate in the family competition!" Yang Xiao glanced at Yang Guang and said lightly, as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, then I'll go back!" Yang Guang saw Yang Xiao agree, turned around and walked out of the main hall, showing a hideous smile while passing by Yang Xiao.
