Chapter 1297 - 1298: Xiao Tianyu’s Judgment
At this moment, countless gazes all fell upon the members of the Fang Family. The expressions of the Fang Family’s upper echelon were extremely grim, for they understood well the implications of Yao Cang’s words.
"If that’s the case, then Yao brother, please leave!" Mo Xuan waved his hand, and Yao Cang, along with Demon Heaven and others, left Ice Sea City directly, not even taking the opportunity to cultivate in the Cold Ice Tower.
But it’s no wonder, how could Demon Heaven still have the face to go to the Cold Ice Tower to cultivate?
As soon as the people of Celestial Demon City left, Mo Xuan’s gaze fell towards the Fang Family, making their hearts tense and rendering them speechless.
Then, Mo Xuan’s gaze landed on Xiao Tianyu on the battle stage, announcing, "From now on, Xiao Tianyu will be a disciple of the City Lord’s Mansion. His status is no less than Mo Qingluan’s. In Ice Sea City, I don’t want to see anyone acting against Xiao Tianyu. Otherwise, my wrath, as you know, is not something you would want to face!"
Mo Xuan’s voice reverberated through the void, causing many to tremble with fear.
From now on, Xiao Tianyu, who was first at the Wind and Cloud Feast, belongs to the City Lord’s Mansion. More importantly, his status is no less than Mo Qingluan’s. As such, could his will not represent the City Lord’s Mansion?
Su Mei’Er glanced at Xiao Tianyu with a slightly unsettled expression. Tonight, Xiao Tianyu, claiming first place with Divine Level Seventh Layer, showcasing talent surpassing Mo Qingluan, and Mo Xuan cherishing talent by recruiting Xiao Tianyu into the City Lord’s Mansion, is of course expected. But Xiao Tianyu’s status in the City Lord’s Mansion, which is not weaker than Mo Qingluan’s, is what causes heart tremors.
It’s essential to realize that Mo Qingluan is Mo Xuan’s daughter, supreme in Ice Sea City.
But now, Xiao Tianyu’s status is no less than Mo Qingluan’s, which means his standing in Ice Sea City will be as lofty as Mo Qingluan’s, superior above anyone.
This is almost equivalent to enshrining a Crown Prince, beneath one, above millions.
Some speculate that perhaps the City Lord intends to betroth Mo Qingluan to Xiao Tianyu.
Xiao Tianyu scanned Mo Xuan with a look of surprise.
Of course, Xiao Tianyu also understood that all this honor was brought upon by his ascending to first place. Otherwise, how could someone without background like him garner such attention from Mo Xuan?
At this moment, Xiao Tianyu was once again under the spotlight, especially from the members of the Fang Family, whose expressions were exceedingly dark. They once hoped to leverage Xiao Tianyu to establish ties with the City Lord’s Mansion, but now this opportunity was buried by the Fang Hai siblings, and worse, because Fang Hai showcased Demon God Transformation at the Wind and Cloud Feast, the City Lord branded them as rebels.
The feud between Ice Sea City and Celestial Demon City has existed for a thousand years. Now knowing the Fang Family as traitors, would Mo Xuan let the Fang Family go?
Xiao Tianyu gazed at Mo Xuan, clasped his fists, and spoke, "Thank you, City Lord, but I have one request, hoping the City Lord would oblige!"
"Speak without reservation!" Mo Xuan waved his large hand, quite hearty, yet inwardly cursing, ’I grant you authority, and yet you still have demands, somewhat presumptuous.’
Xiao Tianyu cast his gaze toward Hong Yuan and Hong Yiyi, speaking, "You two, come forward!"
Upon hearing this, the Hong Yuan siblings felt a bit nervous.
Others’ gazes simultaneously fell upon the two, many had seen them at Jade Tower and naturally knew their relationship with Xiao Tianyu.
Some even speculated that these siblings might rise because of Xiao Tianyu.
Shortly, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Hong Yuan and Hong Yiyi arrived at the battle stage.
Xiao Tianyu clasped his fists before Mo Xuan: "These two were the first I met upon arriving in Ice Sea City. Our bond is like siblings. I hope the City Lord will let them join me in the City Lord’s Mansion for cultivation!"
"Is that so?" Mo Xuan spoke with a smile.
From this matter, Mo Xuan also understood Xiao Tianyu as a person who values relationships, then addressing Hong Yiyi, he said: "From now on, this girl is my adopted daughter, and she will cultivate in the City Lord’s Mansion. As for the person beside her, he will also be my disciple!"
"Thanks!" Xiao Tianyu clasped his fists, while the Hong Yiyi siblings hadn’t yet fully reacted; only Mo Xuan continued, "From your earlier words, you’re not originally from Ice Sea City, right?"
"No!" Xiao Tianyu replied straightforwardly, without anything to hide. He continued, "I ascended from the Lower Realm, with no background in the Firmament World!"
Xiao Tianyu’s words shocked many inner hearts; this first place in the Wind and Cloud Feast was actually someone who ascended from the Lower Realm.
Even Mo Xuan and Mo Qingluan were slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Xiao Tianyu to be from the Lower Realm. In this way, isn’t it even better for Mo Xuan?
Mo Xuan said, "If so, you have no identity in the upper realms; henceforth, you’ll be considered a person of Ice Sea City!"
"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.
Mo Xuan spoke, "It’s heard that half a month ago, you had some grievance with the Fang Family. Then the matter of the Fang Family is left for you to resolve. After resolving, come report to the City Lord’s Mansion!"
As the voice faded, Mo Xuan glanced at an elder beside him. Upon understanding, the elder landed beside Xiao Tianyu.
Instantly, Xiao Tianyu felt an overwhelming aura engulf him, clearly from this elder who is a terrifying Divine Separation Stage expert.
Seeing this, the Fang Family’s expressions turned pale; each of their bodies trembled, especially the Fang Hai siblings, whose faces looked even worse. Half a month ago, they knew exactly how they humiliated Xiao Tianyu.
Moreover, at the Wind and Cloud Feast, they commanded Liu Feng to slay Xiao Tianyu.
If Xiao Tianyu had not been strong enough, he would already be dead under Liu Feng’s blade. Therefore, would Xiao Tianyu let them go?
Others looked at the Fang Family, all showing traces of sympathy. The Fang Family, it’s over.
"To treat my life as worthless, to kill as you wish, how much is your life worth?" Xiao Tianyu walked toward the Fang Family siblings. He, Xiao Tianyu, is not a benevolent person. Since Fang Hai siblings sought to put him to death, now that he has the upper hand, why would he spare them?
Xiao Tianyu believes that if he spares them today, the Fang Family siblings will surely use some sinister scheme to kill him in the future. So why not end it once and for all?
"You... what do you want?" Fang Hai’s body kept trembling, especially feeling the cold murderous intent from Xiao Tianyu. He was afraid; as part of the Fang Family’s direct bloodline, high and proud, he had never been this afraid before.
Crash!
Without saying a word, Xiao Tianyu reached out into the void and grabbed, and Fang Hai’s body was lifted, struggling futilely as he shook his head, "No..."
"Taking your life!"
Bang~
As the words left Xiao Tianyu’s mouth, Fang Hai transformed entirely into a mist of blood. The Fang Family members witnessed this, yet none dared step forward to rescue him, knowing clearly that to try would be tantamount to courting death.
