Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Tragic news has arrived from Wutan City: Xiao Yan, the youngest genius of the Xiao family, has perished!

The news spread rapidly within a few days, quickly reaching the entire city of Utan, and even many forces within the Gama Empire had heard of it.

There are many versions of the rumors about Xiao Yan's demise.

Some say that the other two families secretly assassinated Xiao Yan, leading to his death.

Some say it was because Xiao Yan's fiancée from the Yunlan Sect was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her elders and fought a deadly battle with Xiao Yan, ultimately causing Xiao Yan to be seriously injured and die.

However, regardless of the situation, the ending was remarkably consistent: Xiao Yan really died.

For a time, the entire Xiao family was dressed in mourning clothes. Even the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, was so grief-stricken that he suffered a stroke and was bedridden.

The Xiao family, which was once one of the three great families, seems to have lost its lifeline overnight...

Is the news confirmed to be true?

Inside the Jialie family compound, Jialiebi anxiously questioned the spy who had made contact with the Xiao family's inside man.

"Going home to live is absolutely true. He even personally witnessed Xiao Yan's body being placed into the coffin."

Upon hearing the news, Galebi's lips finally curled into a wide smile: "Dead? Good riddance!"

Xiao Yan's death was like a thorn being pulled out of his heart, and a heavy stone was lifted from his chest.

Now that Xiao Yan is dead, the Xiao family will inevitably suffer a great loss. Although the Xiao family may seem to have only lost a young genius, it has actually cut off the possibility of the Xiao family's rise.

"Patriarch, the Xiao family plans to hold a grand funeral, inviting all the prominent figures in Wutan City. As one of the three major families on par with the Xiao family, our Jialie family will certainly receive an invitation. Should we go or not?"

The scout's words caused Galebi's smile to gradually fade.

As the head of a family, he is certainly not a simple-minded person.

Although the claim that Xiao Yan is dead has been confirmed by an inside source and is highly credible, Xiao Zhan is bedridden, so how could he possibly believe it?

The more the Xiao family shows weakness, the more it suggests that the other side may be secretly accumulating something that will erupt.

If he goes there rashly, he may very well face retaliation from the Xiao family at any cost.

"Where does the Xiao family plan to hold the funeral?" Jia Liebi asked again.

"Go home, Lord. This funeral is being conducted entirely by the Mittel Auction House, and the venue was also selected by the Mittel Auction House."

The Mittel family is one of the three major merchant guilds in the Gama Empire, and its businesses are spread throughout the entire Gama Empire.

The Mittel Auction House is an important business of the Mittel Chamber of Commerce in Utan City, and its head is the chief auctioneer, Ya Fei.

"Such a big matter, why would the Xiao family choose to have the Mittel family handle it? Strange, really strange."

Jia Liebi felt that everything had come too smoothly, or rather, that the Xiao family had collapsed too completely.

"Patriarch, I suspect there's a conspiracy involving the Xiao family. We should stay out of it."

The spies could also sense the conspiracy and offered advice to Galebi.

"You're too naive. If we don't go, it will significantly increase the suspicion against our Jia Lie family. In addition, there are rumors circulating about us assassinating someone. If we don't go, the rumors will only turn in our favor."

After pondering for a while, Jia Liebi finally made a decision: "Not only am I going, but my second and third brothers must also go. In addition, you should contact the head of the Obama family and ask him to come with us. Even if there is a conspiracy, can the three Great Dou Masters of the Xiao family take down our five Great Dou Masters?"

During this time, Jia Liebi would dream about Xiao Yan even when he slept. It was just a pity that such a genius was not his son.

When he thought of his good-for-nothing son, who was only twenty-one and had only become a fighter, Jia Liebi felt a wave of helplessness.

He couldn't rest easy until he saw Xiao Yan buried with his own eyes.

"Yes, patriarch, I will go and inform the Obama family immediately."

The scout respectfully withdrew, leaving only Jialiebi behind.

"Xiao family, whatever your plans are, don't even think about it!"

……

The Xiao family held a funeral for Xiao Yan, and all the major families from Wutan City came to pay their respects.

"Elder Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you. I met Xiao Yan when he was young. I never expected him to die at such a young age. It's truly a tragedy."

Besides the Xiao family, the Jialie family, and the Aoba family, there are many other second-rate forces whose heads are generally at the Dou Shi level, and they also expressed their regret over Xiao Yan's death.

However, most people only scratch the surface; in reality, Xiao Yan's death would only make many families gloat.

Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, has not shown up. The funeral was handled by the eldest elder of the Xiao family.

However, whether these guests were genuinely expressing their feelings or gloating, the First Elder Xiao Lie showed little emotional fluctuation.

The entire funeral was designed to wipe out the top officials of the Garrett and Oba families.

The Xiao family spent 100,000 gold coins to prepare for this funeral. In Xiao Yan's words, no matter the cost, as long as the high-ranking members of the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family can be eliminated.

At that time, the Xiao family will be the only dominant force in Wutan City, and all the money spent will return to the Xiao family.

However, to the surprise of the Xiao family, they had originally planned to spend 300,000 gold coins to hire a Grand Master from the photography studio to assist in the assassination.

Unexpectedly, the photo studio did not charge a single penny and instead sent out two three-star master assassins!

The reason given by the branch owner of the photo studio was that someone had already paid the fee in advance.

The person who could silently pay the fees for hiring two Great Dou Masters must have been Xiao Xun'er, who was usually closest to Xiao Yan.

Hundreds of thousands of gold coins would be a huge sum for the Xiao family, but for Xiao Xun'er, it was just a drop in the ocean.

Those two Grand Dou Master assassins were both Dark Attribute Grand Dou Masters who were skilled at disguising their auras. Unless there was a Dou Spirit expert, even a Nine-Star Grand Dou Master would have difficulty detecting their auras.

However, before they officially took action, even the Xiao family did not know who the person who came was.

The Xiao family's large net has been cast; now all that's left is to wait for the fish to come up.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was lying in an ice coffin. In the sweltering summer, the use of an ice coffin was to prevent the body from decaying, which was perfectly reasonable.

Of course, its main purpose was to let Jia Liebi and Aobapa see clearly that the person lying inside was indeed Xiao Yan.

Xiao Xun'er, dressed in plain clothes, stood guard in front of Xiao Yan's coffin.

Xiao Yan inside is only faking his death; he can wake up at any time as long as you sprinkle special incense on him.

However, seeing her beloved Xiao Yan lying inside, she still felt inexplicably sad.

In any case, she absolutely did not want to see that day actually come.

Just as everything was proceeding according to plan, the main person to be buried at the funeral finally appeared!
