The man who came out with the doorman had half-white hair, all white sword eyebrows, a majestic face, a stiff expression, and an unsmiling appearance. "Xu Yuan, what are you doing here?" The man walked with his hands in his hands, his eyes were arrogant, revealing a faint disdain.

"Uncle. Xu Yuan said in a low voice.

Xu Han looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, he was his father's uncle?

"Hmph, don't call me uncle, when you insisted on going your own way and didn't listen to the hard advice of your elders, I would have lost your nephew a long time ago!" Xu Yuan's uncle was named Xu Feng, and he was the fifth elder of the Dugu family. "Now it's too late for you to turn back, with your strength, you are not qualified to enter the door of the Dugu family. ”

Xu Yuan said in a deep voice: "I don't think I'm at fault, I'm not here today to enter the door of the Dugu family, I'm here to get back the treasure of my Xu family." ”

"Presumptuous!" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "You don't deserve to have the Heavenly Fire Stone! Don't even think about it!"

Xu Yuan's expression was cold: "I am the patriarch of the Xu family, I am not worthy of the treasure of the Xu family, are you lackeys who have turned their backs on the clansmen and sent people under the fence? Or are those Dugu family members who are not the Xu family worthy?!" Since the other party's attitude was cold and hard, Xu Yuan simply tore his face, and he didn't want to give any good face to these traitors who turned their backs on the clansmen and joined our sect.

"How did you talk to me?!" Xu Feng was furious: "Xu Yuan, don't you even have the least respect?!"

Xu Yuan scoffed: "If it is my second elder of the Xu family, my uncle Xu Feng, who is talking to me, then I will naturally respect it." But if it is the five elders of the Dugu family who are standing in front of me, the traitor of the Xu family, then how can I respect it?"

Xu Feng's face was extremely ugly, and two flames shot out of his eyes: "Xu Yuan, while I haven't changed my mind, you get out of here, get out of the imperial capital, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Xu Yuan's face did not change: "I am here to get back the treasure of my Xu family's town this time, if I don't get it, I won't go back." ”

"You said you wanted it, what are you doing as a Dugu family?!" Xu Feng sneered.

"Do you remember what you said when you snatched the Heavenly Fire Stone?" Xu Yuan raised his head, "You said that it was for the Xu family, and when the strength of the Xu family's children surpassed the children of the Dugu family one day, they would return the Heavenly Fire Stone to my Xu family." ”

Xu Feng looked at Xu Yuan with a smile: "That's right, we said this at the beginning, and we won't regret it now." Come back when the strength of the children of the Xu family surpasses the children of the Dugu family!" "He knows the details of the Xu family very well, without a good mentor, even if the child is talented, he can't dig it well, and the swordsmanship of the Xu family is pitiful, and the swordsman cultivated in this environment cannot be compared with the Dugu family at all.

The corners of Xu Yuan's mouth raised slightly: "What if I say that my Xu family disciples have surpassed the children of the Dugu family?"

Xu Feng vetoed: "Less dreaming, this is impossible!"

At this time, Xu Han spoke: "Uncle, it's impossible, how can you know if you don't try?"

Xu Feng glanced at Xu Han coldly, and said disdainfully: "How can the people of the Xu family surpass the people of the Dugu family?

Xu Yuan shook his head secretly: "Uncle, you also forgot what your surname was." ”

Xu Feng shouted angrily: "Xu Yuan, you are becoming more and more presumptuous!"

"Xu Feng, why are you arguing with them?" A slender old man walked over with a smile on his face, the old man was wearing a moon-white robe, and his beard and hair were all white. When Xu Feng saw him, he restrained his anger and bowed his head slightly: "Big brother." ”

Xu Yuan also whispered: "Uncle." ”

He is the third elder of the Dugu family, Xu Yan.

Xu Yan said with a smile: "Since they want to try, let them try, and it's not too late to leave after trying." ”

Xu Han smiled when he heard this, the meaning of this was clearly that their Xu family was not good, let him try if he wanted to try, anyway, he was not the opponent of the children of the Dugu family, and after being taught a lesson, he would get out of here.

Xu Feng also nodded in agreement: "Okay, since you don't know whether you live or die, let you go to find death." With that, he gestured to the doorman, who got out of the way.

"Let's go, Han'er. Xu Yuan gave him a look, and then strode in.

Xu Han understands that if he wants to get back the treasure of the Zhen clan, this is the only chance, if he loses to the children of the Dugu family, Xu Yuan's face will be lost, and there will be no face to come to the Dugu family to ask for the treasure of the Zhen clan.

The mansion of the Dugu family is as big as a palace, and the patriarch's mansion is located in the center, with a hundred stone stairs in front of the house, which is magnificent. Xu Feng took Xu Yuan's father and son to wait at the foot of the stone ladder, while Xu Yan went to meet the patriarch.

After a long time, Xu Yan walked out with a steady and solemn middle-aged man. Xu Yan stepped forward quickly and reminded Xu Yuan: "This is the patriarch Duguxiong. ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, he clenched his fist at Dugu Xiong, and looked directly at Dugu Xiong: "Xu Yuan, the patriarch of the Xu family in the Northern Underworld City, has seen the Dugu patriarch. The tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but it made Xu Feng frown: "Xu Yuan, this is the Dugu patriarch, why don't you bow your head and salute when you see it?"

Xu Yuan said word by word: "I am the patriarch of the family, and the patriarch of Dugu is also the patriarch of the family, why do you want to salute?"

Dugu Xiong's face showed anger: "Xu Yuan, you are just the patriarch of the small family sect, it is not worth mentioning at all, my Dugu family has a very high status in the imperial capital, why can't you salute me?"

"Xu Yuan, salute quickly!" even Xu Yan hinted.

"No matter how small the sesame seed is, it is also an official, if I bow my head, it will be equivalent to the entire Xu family bowing my head, I can't do it. "Xu Yuan's head is high, and he is resolute and unyielding.

A flash of anger flashed in Dugu Xiong's eyes, but he soon calmed down, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it, the little family sect is not sensible, and I won't bother with them." He took his hands, walked to Xu Han in a few steps and stopped, his eyes shot into the distant sky, and he didn't even look at Xu Han. Xu Han squinted slightly, Duguxiong's score seemed to be too big.

Xu Feng reminded loudly at this time: "Why don't you hurry up and salute the Dugu patriarch?!" Xu Yuan didn't salute, which was already very shameless for Dugu Xiong.

Xu Han smiled, didn't make a sound, and didn't make any moves.

Xu Feng and Xu Yan were both annoyed, and kept looking at Xu Han, but Xu Han still didn't react, just like Duguxiong, he stood motionless.

Finally, Duguxiong looked down at Xu Han and said in a deep voice: "You saw me, why didn't you salute?"

Xu Han smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what kind of etiquette the patriarch said? If it is a polite courtesy, the patriarch didn't give me a little politeness, so naturally I don't need to be polite to the patriarch." "As for etiquette, don't even think about it.

Dugu Xiong smiled, and the smile was creepy: "You, you actually want me to give you politeness?"

"People have to respect each other, patriarch, what do you say?" Xu Han's implication was that Duguxiong didn't know how to respect.

"Presumptuous!" Xu Feng and Xu Yan were furious at the same time, "You are too disproportionate!"

Dugu Xiong waved his hand, and his smile was cold: "Okay, very good! Aren't you two the treasures of the Zhen clan who want to return to the Xu family? ”

Duguxiong brought them to a martial arts stage, and the Dugu family would hold a martial arts meeting on this martial arts platform every year to test the strength of the younger generation. The construction of the martial arts platform is a bit similar to that of the Heavenly Absolute Sect, except that there is only one stand of the Dugu family, and there is only one battle platform, which is smaller than the battle platform of the Heavenly Absolute Sect, and there are nine seats around the battle platform, which are the seats of the patriarch and the eight elders. Then, Dugu Xiong also summoned some of the clansmen of the Dugu family clan to watch the battle.

Xu Yuan and Xu Han sat in their seats, and the discussion was endless, and Xu Han could clearly hear the Dugu patriarch's comments on them.

"I heard that these two are members of the clan of Elder Zun's former family, and they are coming to challenge the masters of the younger generation of the lonely family. ”

"Oh, that one surnamed Xu? I heard that it is a small family sect, and its reputation in the Northern Underworld City is not very loud, and it is not worth mentioning at all in the imperial capital. ”

"Do you want to challenge our Dugu Family Sect? Looking for death, let's not talk about the two talented and perverted sons of the patriarch, just Dugu Yu, the son of the second elder, this year's sword cultivation has reached the third level of the qi realm, and his strength is quite perverted. ”

"How can you let Dugu speak? Just Dugu Mountain, the son of the four elders, also has a two-level sword cultivation in the Qi realm, which is enough to beat them away. I heard that the patriarchs of their family sect only have sword cultivation at the sixth level of the qi realm, and it is estimated that even the two sons of the patriarch can't beat them. ”

"Run away, it's too much to give them face, they should be killed, who let them run around to challenge our lonely family sect without knowing whether they are alive or dead. ”

"That is, even in the imperial capital, our family sect is also ranked eighth among all the family sects, how can they challenge if they want to?

"Silence. Dugu Xiong, who was in the middle seat, stood up and said coldly: "Today, the children of the Xu family sect in the North Underworld City made a special trip to our Dugu family sect to see the strength of the children of my Dugu family sect. After a pause here, Duguxiong continued: "The rules on the battle platform, go all out, life and death. ”

As soon as the words came out, there was a cheer.

"Life and death are fate! Life and death are fate!" The slogan was shouted very loudly.

Xu Yuan's face was gloomy, and Duguxiong's hand was too insidious. They didn't tell them the rules on the battlefield in advance, and when they arrived, they announced in front of everyone, if they retreated at this time, they would definitely be laughed at, and they would never be able to raise their heads in front of the Dugu family again. But if you agree, life and death are fate, Duguxiong clearly wants Xu Han to die.

Xu Han also shook his head secretly, he was the patriarch of the imperial capital, and his actions were not bright at all, and he was full of conspiracy, this kind of villain's face with that majestic figure was really a great contrast.

"This rule, dare to ask if Patriarch Xu Yuan can accept it?" Dugu Xiong's eyes fell on Xu Yuan.
