Chapter 202 Rule [Part 1]

Tianlan Realm.

This place is completely different from the magnificent paradise of Penglai, where the Ji family has towering waves and islands suspended in the air.

All that meets the eye here is a scene of tranquility.

The sky overhead was so clear it was almost transparent, displaying an extremely deep blue, like a huge glass dome, fitting perfectly over the earth.

The clouds hung low, heavy in the air, casting large patches of gray shadows of varying shades across the vast, verdant plains.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the boundless waves of grass rose and fell, making a soft rustling sound like the tide.

Cattle and sheep were scattered among them, swaying their tails leisurely. This was originally a scene of paradise worthy of being painted, but at this moment it was torn apart by a chilling atmosphere.

In one corner of this plain, a cluster of buildings with sharp lines and a highly modern style rises from the ground.

The cold, hard glass curtain wall clashes with the surrounding pristine pastures, creating a strong sense of incongruity.

This is the true core forbidden area of ​​the Kui family.

The central high-rise building, the top-floor conference room.

The heavy, soundproof doors shut out the outside world, and the huge circular conference table was filled with the most powerful members of the Kui family.

Dozens of gazes were fixed on the woman at the end of the long table, the air thick and oppressive, suffocating.

"You mean the patriarch went alone to intercept and kill that person?"

An elderly man, dressed in fine clothes and with gray hair, tapped his knuckles on the table, making a dull "thump, thump" sound.

His face was ashen at that moment.

"This is utterly absurd! Such a crucial matter, yet the patriarch didn't even consult with us elders. He's playing with the family's future! What will we do if something happens to him?"

"Kui Xiao, even if what you say is true, in terms of seniority, who among you here isn't your elder?"

'

Another middle-aged man smiled and spoke.

"You should relinquish the position of acting head of the family for now. Your foundation is still shallow, and you lack management experience in this area."

"Good, then hand over the family head token."

Such important family artifacts should be jointly supervised by the clan elders.

"Once you've honed your skills and gained experience, then it's not too late to talk about climbing the ranks."

A clamor arose from all sides.

Some questioned why the head of the family didn't inform them before making the decision.

However, what they coveted most was the power and position of the head of the family.

"That's enough!"

Kui Xiao suddenly frowned and shouted coldly.

Her voice instantly pierced through the surrounding noise and chatter.

At this moment, she...

His complexion was slightly pale.

Somehow, it started just now.

It felt like there were countless steel needles churning wildly inside her skull.

The excruciating pain, almost like her head was being torn apart, drove her to the brink of madness.

But these people kept babbling on the sidelines, only adding fuel to the fire.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer.

As she spoke, a strange red glint appeared in her eyes, and her gaze from behind her glasses swept across the room like a hawk's.

Those seemingly respectable elders' faces appeared distorted and terrifying in her eyes.

"Today, my family is ashamed of this calamity. You elders who hold power, instead of thinking about overcoming this difficult time together, are here like hyenas, coveting the position of family head?"

She slowly stood up, and the dark red family head token in her palm, engraved with magical patterns, emitted a chilling light.

"The token was given to me personally by the patriarch. You want it?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Kui Xiao's lips, and her aura exploded without reservation.

A giant, colorful butterfly phantom appeared behind me, then spread its wings and flapped them suddenly.

boom!

A violent aura unique to the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm transformed into a visible white wave that swept across the entire area. The surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows trembled violently at this moment, emitting sharp groans.

"Then come and steal it yourselves! But don't blame me for being ruthless and cleaning house when the time comes!"

A chilling atmosphere filled the entire conference room, and at this moment, Kui Xiao's face was terrifyingly cold.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone froze for a moment.

Those who had spoken earlier, in particular, turned a deep purplish-red.

They never dreamed that Kui Xiao, who was usually the most talkative and respectful to them, and whose seniority was even lower than theirs, would dare to speak to them in such a tone.

Although their strength is indeed inferior to hers.

But they are elders.

Within a clan, seniority is of paramount importance.

In clans bound by blood ties, the importance of seniority goes without saying.

Except for collateral branches, the seniority of core clan members must not be overstepped in the slightest.

"How dare you! Kui Xiao, how dare you speak to your elders like that? Do you have any manners at all?!"

The white-haired old man who had spoken earlier suddenly stood up.

His gaze was fixed on Kui Xiao.

He was only at the Zhuangfu stage.

But he absolutely refused to believe that the other party would actually dare to lay a hand on him.

In terms of seniority, he was her third grandfather!

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking...

The other person was already thrown backwards.

The wall suddenly burst open with a large hole, and rubble exploded everywhere.

A few seconds later, he slammed heavily onto the ground below with a dull thud.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

However, two more people stepped forward, pointing at Kui Xiao and angrily shouting, "What are you doing! Violating clan rules and attacking your own clan!"

"Outrageous! Kui Shan has truly raised a fine daughter, you—"

Bang!Bang!

Two more muffled thuds followed.

Both crashed through the wall, letting out piercing screams in mid-air before falling heavily to the ground.

"Anyone else have any objections? Please stand up and speak up."

Kui Xiao stood still.

The bloodshot light in his eyes not only did not diminish, but burned even more intensely.

For some reason, after attacking those three people, she felt as if she had broken free of an invisible shackle.

My will and body felt an unprecedented sense of clarity.

Like a newborn.

In the past, she followed the rules and regulations, and was tightly bound by them.

She only realized it now.

Setting aside all concerns, it was so exhilarating.

"What kind of bullshit clan rules and seniority are these?"

We are a top clan with a history spanning thousands of years.

"I've survived to this day not because of those outdated, antiquated rules, but because of my own strength."

Kui Xiao spoke softly.

The moment the words fell.

She even felt that her previously solidified cultivation bottleneck had slightly loosened.

She understood.

Only meaning.

Do what you think of.

This is the true meaning of her martial arts.

He governs everything with his own will.

The true essence of martial arts that had stumped her for over a decade was so easily grasped by her.

At this moment, Kui Xiao felt no joy as she had imagined upon comprehending the true meaning of martial arts; only a profound calm.

Because of the lessons learned from the previous three individuals.

The remaining high-ranking members of the Kui family avoided eye contact with Kui Xiao.

Kui Xiao's strength is at the peak of the Blood Exchange stage. Now that three Yuan Dan realm cultivators of the Kui family have died, and the whereabouts of the remaining Yuan Dan realm patriarch are unknown, Kui Xiao's strength is at the peak of the Blood Exchange stage.

Kui Xiao's strength is undoubtedly the best in the Kui family.

Only now did they remember.

This clansman, whom they overlooked, was a genius second only to that Kui Ran.

It's just that he was previously stuck at the point of not being able to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts, which is why he couldn't make any progress.

Now, with the patriarch's token, we have the highest level of access to the Heavenly Realm and its many arrays.

Everyone had no choice but to bow their heads.

Upon seeing this, Kui Xiao let out a cold laugh.

Just as she was about to say something...

suddenly.

She seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look out the window.

Suddenly, a white light appeared on the distant horizon.

This is a sign that the Heavenly Realm is opening.

"Could it be that the patriarch has returned?!"

"Excellent! That person must have been killed by the family head!"

Seeing this scene.

Everyone was startled, then their expressions brightened with joy.

The Kui family is one of the three upper families.

There are four supreme grandmasters who have achieved the Yuan Dan realm by refining blood pills and possessing profound knowledge.

But now, the three people who had previously committed suicide are dead.

Kui Tong is not only the head of the Kui family, but also the last member of the Kui family to reach the Yuan Dan realm.

If it means death.

The Kui family will fall from grace overnight, becoming less than an ordinary upper-class clan.

Even if the enemy is killed.

The Kui family wouldn't dare to go out either.

As one of the top three, its resources are bound to attract countless covetous eyes.

Furthermore, I am unaware of the changes that have occurred.

They naturally placed even greater hope on Kuitong returning alive.

"Acting Patriarch, now that the Patriarch has returned, let's hurry and welcome him!"

At this time.

One of the people standing to the side spoke up.

His voice carried a hint of sarcasm, emphasizing the words "acting head of the family."

This is a man with a buzz cut and wearing a jacket, one of the few Blood Transformation Realm cultivators in the Kui family.

However, they only reached the first level.

He certainly wouldn't have dared to step forward before.

But now that the head of the family has returned, he naturally has nothing to worry about.

As for whether he is the head of the family, no one actually doubts that.

Only the head of the Kui family, Kui Tong, along with a few other Yuan Dan realm cultivators and elders, are capable of opening the Tianlan Realm on their own.

Now that the three Yuan Dan realm cultivators are dead, all the other elders are in Tianlan territory.

Only Kuitong could open the entrance and enter this place; no one else could.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Kui Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

Before she finished speaking, her figure had already disappeared from the spot.

A few meters apart, yet it feels like just a step away.

A muffled thud exploded in the air.

She suddenly appeared in front of the man with the buzz cut, her five fingers spread wide, and went straight for his face.

At his fingertips, fine, hair-like threads of energy pulsed and danced, creating a subtle humming sound as they were pulled through the air.

It was precisely this secret technique, the Thousand Gang Yuan Silk.

The man with the buzz cut suddenly narrowed his pupils.

He was indeed at the Blood Exchange Realm, but he had only just broken through, and his blood and qi were not yet completely stable. His reaction was fast enough, but his body simply couldn't dodge in time.

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere.

No screams were heard.

The man with the buzz cut stood frozen in place, in a backward posture, his head already split into several pieces.

The first stage of the Blood Exchange Realm is the Blood Burning Realm, where the blood and qi in the body are so full that they are almost boiling.

At this moment, his head shattered, and the blood squeezed out of his chest cavity finally found an outlet, gushing out like a crimson fountain gushing from the ground.

The scalding blood mist spread out, drenching everyone present.

"you----"

The others, who had been taking steps, all stopped abruptly.

No one expected that Kui Xiao would directly kill him.

"What, you have a problem with that?"

Kui Xiao's gaze swept over the crowd.

Everyone remained silent, and no one dared to meet her gaze.

In their eyes, Kui Xiao must have gone mad.

Kui Xiao naturally understood what they were thinking. In the past, she definitely wouldn't have done this.

But things are different now.

After comprehending the true meaning of martial arts, she saw her true path and her personality underwent a complete transformation.

She understood.

Even if the head of the family returns, it's unlikely he'll punish her.

A clansman whose potential has been exhausted, now merely an ordinary Blood Exchange Realm Grandmaster.

An unparalleled grandmaster who has already grasped the true meaning of martial arts and has one foot in the Yuan Dan realm.

Which one is more valuable? Even a fool could tell.

"Alright, come with me to greet the patriarch."

Kui Xiao turned around first and walked towards the door.

The remaining group stood there, their robes still stained with steaming drops of blood.

No matter what thoughts were churning in his mind, he could only lower his head and obediently follow behind her.

At this moment, there were still many other core clan members standing outside.

The three fell from a height and crashed into the pit. The crowd was initially stunned, but then an uproar broke out and a commotion erupted.

Of the three, two had already fainted, leaving only the old man barely awake.

He was seriously injured, but the height from which he fell was not enough to seriously injure him.

The injuries were all inflicted by Kui Xiao.

He was just helped out of the pit by his clansmen and stood there covered in dust.

"Elders, what's going on here?"

A member of the clan asked.

"It's all because of that little bitch—"

As the old man spoke, he looked up and saw Kui Xiao walking out of the door at a leisurely pace.

The old man froze, the words of his curse stuck in his throat.

However, Kui Xiao didn't even glance at him.

He then walked straight outside.

"The head of the family has returned."

The old man overheard the whispers and murmurs of his fellow clansmen around him.

He was taken aback at first, then his expression brightened with joy.

"Great! The patriarch is back. That little bitch won't be able to keep up this for long."

With this thought in mind, he quickly dragged his injured leg and limped after them, ready to file a complaint.

"Are all the members of the Kui family here?"

The group had just stepped out of the courtyard.

suddenly.

A voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

next moment.

His expression froze on his face.

Suddenly, a figure appeared to the side.

Its body is extremely tall, standing at 2.5 meters, like an iron tower.

His face was covered by a black rabbit face mask.

What truly made them lose their composure was not the mask.

It was what that person was carrying in their hand.

That was the head of their master, Kuitong.

Blood was still dripping, but strangely, the other person did not seem to be dead, and their eyes were moving.

As for the core members of the Kui family, they had already learned about Hu Long's attire, especially his Rabbit-shaped magic tool.

Seeing it with my own eyes now, my heart is filled with utter horror.

"It's you—"

Someone lost their voice.

However, the next moment...

His head exploded.

Blood mist filled the sky.

However, it was not Hu Long who made the move.

It was Kui Xiao standing to the side.

"What are you doing?"

Hu Long turned his head and looked at Kui Xiao, whose face was splattered with blood, with some surprise.

He sensed a familiar aura emanating from this person.

"I am no match for you."

Kui Xiao shook her head.

"I know the Kui family inside and out. I can help you, but I hope you will spare my life."

Done.

She knelt on one knee.

"Oh?"

Hu Long looked down at him, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

"What's your name? Don't you hate me?"

Since his spiritual talent advanced to the level of spirit perception, his perception has become increasingly acute, and he is extremely accurate in capturing the emotions of others.

But he didn't sense any malice in this person, which was quite interesting.

"My name is Kui Xiao, my lord."

Kui Xiao's voice was very soft.

"We are ashamed of our current predicament, which is entirely our own fault. There is nothing to hate about us."

I just want to survive.

I have just grasped the true meaning of martial arts, and have not yet witnessed the scenery of the Yuan Dan realm. I am unwilling to die like this.

"interesting."

Hu Long chuckled softly.

He could tell that the other person wasn't lying.

Based on his past behavior, he would most likely have killed him outright.

But considering what needs to be done next, the help of a Yuan Dan realm cultivator would indeed be useful.

He had new plans.

immediately.

Hu Long made his move, swiftly and decisively killing several of the Blood Exchange Realm martial artists and reaping their Source Value.

Then they smashed Kuitong's head.

He turned around, his tone indifferent.

"Kill the rest of them, and I might spare your life."

"Yes."

Kui Xiao nodded.

He turned his head without any hesitation.

A long sword appeared in his hand.

Suddenly, he slashed out with his sword.

Blood splattered everywhere.

An elder of the clan collapsed and died.

"You—you dare betray the Kui family!"

"Traitor! I'll haunt you even in death!"

"No—ah—please—please—"

The members of the Kui family went from cursing angrily to screaming miserably, and then to wailing and begging for mercy.

However, faced with all of this...

Kui Xiao's expression remained completely unchanged.

Seeing this scene.

Hu Long's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

His gaze did not linger on the other person for long.

Instead, they looked towards the distant horizon.

"Although we haven't found any trace of the last clan, it's not a big deal. It's time to put my plan into action."

Hu Long's heart stirred slightly.

Now, the Yu family, one of the eight superior clans of the Yu Kingdom, has been wiped out, the Kui family has hidden in this blessed land, and the Si family has disappeared without a trace.

He then took control of the remaining five families: Zhao, Luo, Yi, Jiang, and Ji.

The entire Yu Kingdom has, to some extent, fallen under Hu Long's control.

His previous ideas could be implemented, and once successful, the speed and efficiency of his source value acquisition would greatly increase.

A few days later.

The two messages exploded like thunderclaps, jointly issued by the five superior clans.

First: The National Clan Conference will be held on May 18th.

At that time, all clans, regardless of their status, will set off for Yanjing to attend the meeting.

No clan may be absent or disobey orders.

Second: Within the territory of Yu Kingdom, all civilian martial artists must be registered and put into practice using their real names, effective immediately.

Anyone found violating this rule will be detained and executed on the spot without a second warning.
