Chapter 94 Jiangnan Martial King
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today, the Xiao family is decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, creating a festive atmosphere.
Although the wedding of the son of the Xiao family's true dragon and the daughter of the Xia family's heavenly pride was rushed, it was still quite a lively affair.
Xiao Yiyi, along with several members of the Xiao family, stood at the main entrance to greet the guests.
Xiao Yichen led Xia Liuli to greet guests at the banquet.
Xia Liuli remained mostly silent with a cold expression, while Xiao Yichen accepted the guests' blessings and pleasantries.
The other members of the Xiao and Xia families also appeared to be busy, but in reality, everyone was keeping an eye on the doorway.
Today's wedding is for only one person.
After a long time, that person did not appear.
"Is he too scared to come?" someone muttered.
“If that pawn really doesn’t come, we’ll have to redesign the plan…” Xiao Hongyuan frowned.
"He's usually so arrogant, but now he's lost his nerve. I provoked him so much and he still wouldn't come. He's such a coward," He Qin said disdainfully.
Xiao Yichen was very unhappy.
"This is the man you chose? He didn't even dare to come to your wedding. He's just a coward!" he said sarcastically to Xia Liuli.
Xia Liuli's eyes flickered, but she did not respond.
"It's better if he doesn't come..." she thought to herself.
But that complex sense of loss kept surfacing, leaving her feeling empty inside.
"The Jiang family patriarch has arrived!"
"Chairman Zhao of Zhaohe Company has arrived!"
……
There were constant announcements at the entrance, informing them of the arrival of distinguished guests.
Suddenly, the sounds at the door stopped.
"Xiao Chen, the abandoned son of the Xiao family, has arrived!"
A loud shout immediately captured the attention of both families.
"They've finally arrived!" they breathed a sigh of relief, but inwardly they sneered.
Outside the Xiao family compound, Xiao Chen walked slowly alone with a calm expression.
"You've got guts!" Xiao Yiyi stared at Xiao Chen and uttered two words.
"Do I need to be afraid?" Xiao Chen glanced at her indifferently and said.
His tone was flat, but it carried a nonchalant disdain.
That was disdain for the Xiao and Xia families, and even disdain for the Heavenly King Palace.
"Going alone, should I call you fearless, or just ignorant of your own limitations!" Xiao Yiyi frowned and said when she saw that Xiao Chen was all alone.
"Since you're here, come in. This should be the last time you step into the Xiao family in your life," Xiao Yiyi said with a half-smile.
The moment Xiao Chen stepped into the Xiao family home, all eyes were on him.
He saw the sinister intentions hidden within the Xiao and Xia families, the sinister look on Xiao Yichen's face, and the sorrow in Xia Liuli's expression.
Xia Liuli's heart was trembling.
When she saw Xiao Chen appear, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, but it was quickly replaced by bitterness.
She looked at Xiao Chen, as if asking: Why did you come here to die?
Xiao Chen smiled slightly at him, casually found a seat, and glanced at the guests present.
Perhaps, the Yaksha is hiding among them.
"You certainly know how to pick a spot..." Xiao Hongyuan said with a grim expression.
Xiao Chen sat at a table near the front, in the main seat.
"You dare to sit in a place like this? You really don't know your place!" Xiao Hongyuan said sternly.
"Stand up and get to the back! Today in the Xiao family, you're only fit to stand!"
The Xiao family members could only stand during the auction; this was to avenge their humiliation.
Xiao Chen remained calm and sat motionless in place.
"I'll sit right here. If you're so capable of making me get up, you can try," he said calmly.
Xiao Hongyuan frowned and gestured to the butler beside him.
At the butler's command, seven or eight people rushed in quickly.
They wanted to forcibly drive Xiao Chen away.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless and threw down the teacup in his hand.
"Bang bang bang..."
The teacup spun, and anyone who touched it was thrown away as if struck by a heavy hammer.
Everyone was stunned.
How could such a small teacup possess such terrifying power?
This method is beyond the comprehension and imagination of ordinary people.
Every time Xiao Chen made a move, it shocked the Xiao family.
Is this really a discarded child they kicked out?
Xiao Yichen's face was grim.
He could not tolerate the extraordinary qualities of his abandoned son, which made him, the son of a true dragon, seem mediocre.
"What kind of monster is this expendable pawn?!" Xiao Hongyuan said with a grim face, waving his hand, "Take it away!"
The servants scrambled to their feet and rushed forward, intending to lift Xiao Chen away, chair and all.
"Drink up!" But no matter how hard they tried, the chair seemed to be rooted to the ground and they couldn't lift it at all.
Xiao Chen's body only trembled slightly.
"boom!"
It was as if a burst of energy exploded, and all of them were blasted away, some injured and others unconscious.
Everyone looked like they'd seen a ghost.
The abilities Xiao Chen displayed today were somewhat frightening.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! What are you good for?" Xiao Hongyuan cursed angrily.
After a moment, he calmed down and sneered.
"Since you insist on sitting there, then sit down. You'll soon find out that there are some seats you shouldn't sit in."
Xiao Chen didn't care.
This seat was the main seat at the wedding banquet, and he guessed it might be reserved for Yaksha.
Today, a battle is inevitable.
The Xiao family probably felt it wasn't time to completely break ties yet, so they went about their own business, only keeping an eye on Xiao Chen from time to time.
Xiao Chen remained calm and waited with them.
"The King of Jiangnan has arrived!" A loud shout suddenly rang out.
"They've arrived!" The Xiao family members immediately perked up, and Xiao Hongyuan personally led the team to greet them.
Xiao Chen's gaze followed.
A strong and imposing middle-aged man was ushered in.
Xiao Hongyuan and the others bowed and scraped to him, appearing extremely respectful.
Xiao Chen glanced at it, his expression slightly hardening.
This person is no ordinary person...
He exudes a dangerous aura, and possesses extraordinary hidden power.
This person is different from all the people from the Heavenly King's Palace I've encountered before.
This person is much stronger than them, even stronger than a Netherworld Guard of Bai Wu's caliber.
This is a true master.
"Is this Yaksha, one of the Ten Generals of the Heavenly King's Palace?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.
If each of the Ten Generals possesses such strength, then what level of strength does the Heavenly King possess?
"Your Majesty Hongwu, your arrival has brought great honor to my humble abode!" Xiao Hongyuan flattered the visitor, and the guests all rose to greet him.
Hongwu King ignored the crowd and fixed his sharp, hawk-like gaze directly on Xiao Chen.
Two gazes clashed in the air, like flashing swords.
“King Hongwu, a King-level expert!” Xiao Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he made a judgment in his mind.
Society is a melting pot of all walks of life, and while there are many who practice martial arts, only a few can even get started, and even fewer can master it.
Similar to the Seventy-Two Fiends of the Heavenly King's Palace and the Underworld Guards of the Underworld Palace that I encountered before, they are already considered masters in the martial arts world.
The King level, however, represents true powerhouses whose strength surpasses that of ordinary martial artists.
King level, can be called Grandmaster!
“Prince Hongwu, that position was originally prepared for you… but it was forcibly taken by that traitor!” Xiao Hongyuan said angrily.
"Is that so?" Hongwu King said softly, his gaze becoming even sharper.
