Chapter 126 Xiao Feng's Methods
Whether it's a Battle King or a Battle Emperor, they are all among the strongest in the Jia Ma Empire. It's extremely difficult to even meet such a powerful person normally, so why would he slander his own son for no reason? And why would Hu specifically slander his own son? The only thing that could make him do such a thing is probably what's written on that piece of paper.
Xiao Yan is Xiao Zhan's son, and it's only natural for a father to side with and trust his son. However, in Xiao Zhan's heart, that trust in Xiao Yan has begun to crumble and shatter. Given this situation, how could he possibly not believe in these things?
He had no idea why his son would do such a thing! To do something so shameless and despicable was an insult to culture and a disgrace to the family!
But now this matter involves not only him and Xiao Yan, but also the reputation of the entire Xiao family. The authenticity of this matter is yet to be evaluated, but once such a thing is spread, even if it is false, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan and even the entire Xiao family!
Therefore, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, even if it means using violence!
Thinking of this, a glint suddenly flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes. Looking at the big tree in front of him, he already had an idea in mind.
Since the chains cannot be broken, surely the tree can be broken? If the tree is broken and its trunk is shattered, perhaps the chains binding Xiao Yan will fall off automatically. Even if they don't fall off, he can still take Xiao Yan away and continue to control the rumors, making the matter disappear quietly.
Actually, he still had some selfish motives. Regardless of the truth of the matter, it would be a huge blow to Xiao Yan's reputation, which was something he naturally didn't want to see. Moreover, Xiao Yan was still in a coma, and he probably wouldn't be able to accept this matter when he woke up.
Immediately, his battle qi surged out wildly, forming a layer of armor around his body. This was the battle qi armor unique to the Great Dou Master realm! As soon as the battle qi armor appeared, Xiao Zhan's aura rose to a peak once again. He took a step forward, his battle qi surging out wildly, and swung his fist at the tree trunk.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of loud noises rang in everyone's ears. Just when everyone thought the tree was about to be broken, a shocking scene unfolded. Under such a violent attack, the tree in front of them was completely unharmed, and not even a single leaf fell. This was very illogical!
You have to understand, Xiao Zhan is a Great Dou Master! His punches carry the force of ten thousand jin. Logically speaking, breaking this tree should only take a few punches. But now, the tree is completely unharmed! This is simply unbelievable!
It was just an ordinary tree in the Xiao family, but now it has suddenly become so sturdy. What happened?
This idea wasn't just on Xiao Zhan's mind; all the members of the Xiao family who witnessed this scene had it too, and they were even more shocked and puzzled than Xiao Zhan.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred. A flash of light appeared, and a line of text suddenly appeared in the air in front of them: "This child's actions are extremely heinous. Therefore, he is hereby suspended and publicly displayed. This notice shall not be changed before 11 PM!"
Seeing the words before him, Xiao Zhan felt a mix of bitterness, anger, and other emotions. It now seemed that both the chains and the trees were the work of that mysterious powerful figure, whose purpose was clear: he disapproved of Xiao Yan's despicable behavior and wanted to punish him.
Therefore, unless one is stronger than him, there is no way to save Xiao Yan; one can only wait until the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) as stipulated by that powerful figure.
These words weren't just seen by Xiao Zhan; all the Xiao clan members watching nearby also saw them. Meanwhile, the Third Elder, standing in the crowd, was secretly delighted, thinking, "Now let's see what kind of authority Xiao Zhan has left!"
They could almost see the day when Xiao Zhan's prestige would be completely shattered, and they would seize the opportunity to become the head of the Xiao family.
Regarding Xiao Yan's situation, the members of the Xiao family were not angry or upset at all. On the contrary, they were filled with relief and joy. This matter was a great thing for them!
The words that floated in the air quickly disappeared with the wind, but their impact had already deeply penetrated people's hearts. All the Xiao clan members who were watching from the sidelines were secretly amazed by this miraculous skill and longed for it, dreaming that one day they could also become strong!
Although the handwriting had disappeared, the message above was still very clear, and Xiao Zhan's mind was in turmoil.
The most important thing now is what to do. It's certain that Xiao Yan can't be rescued, so Xiao Zhan and the others have given up hope and can only wait for the chains to loosen automatically when the time comes. Of course, in the meantime, he also wanted to take down the paper hanging above Xiao Yan, which was filled with his "crimes," but the result was very obvious. Like the chains and trees, they were simply no match for their strength.
Xiao Zhan did consider expelling all the clansmen, but things had already come to this point. The clansmen already knew about Xiao Yan's affairs, and doing so would be futile and self-deceptive. It would also cause resentment and even stir up various rumors, allowing them to spread more quickly. After all, he knew that people have a rebellious streak; the more you forbid me from doing something, the more I want to do it.
Surprisingly, precisely because of this, after their initial curiosity, the tribespeople left to continue with their own affairs. This is quite remarkable, but upon reflection, it makes perfect sense. After all, they already knew about the event, had participated in the excitement, and naturally went back to their own business after the excitement subsided.
However, if Xiao Zhan had not made such a decision at the time, but instead chose to drive away these tribesmen and seal off the place, his actions would undoubtedly have aroused the rebellious mentality and curiosity of these tribesmen, making them even more curious about what had happened, and this matter would have been on their minds.
In fact, Xiao Zhan had considered asking Xiao Feng for help, but he quickly dismissed the idea. This matter was not honorable to begin with, and he was eager to keep it a secret from others. How could he possibly tell Xiao Feng on his own initiative?
