Chapter 336: Young Master, I Beg You, Don’t Attack

「That morning, before the gates of the Golden Sun Sect.」

Su Mo asked Xiao Zhan and the others, "Father-in-law, Grand Elder, Sweeping Monk, have you destroyed all the families you were assigned?"

"They’re all gone!"

Xiao Zhan said excitedly, "The families I went after were all small and not worth mentioning. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter—they fell apart before we even had to fight."

"It was the same for me and the Sweeping Monk,"

Xiao Feng and Zhuge Su said.

Su Mo said, "Then all that’s left are the Golden Sun Sect, the Hu Family, and the Haoyue Sect. Let’s go. We’ll wipe out the Golden Sun Sect first, then destroy the Hu Family and the Haoyue Sect."

WHOOSH!

The group charged toward the Golden Sun Sect.

Before the mountain gates.

Several Mountain Guardian Stewards turned pale with fright. "Don’t come any closer! If you have business here, tell us first, and we will go report it."

"No need!"

Su Mo refused, summoning a longsword with a flick of his wrist, ready to wipe out the Golden Sun Sect.

Seeing this, the Second Elder shouted urgently, "Quick, stop the Young Master!"

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Everyone lunged at Su Mo at once, pinning him firmly to the ground, unable to move an inch.

The Golden Sun Sect’s Mountain Guardian Stewards were dumbfounded by this scene.

’What’s going on?’

’Could it be that these people are intimidated by our Golden Sun Sect’s immense power? Are they fighting amongst themselves because they’re too scared to offend us?’

"Hahaha, and here I thought they were a big deal. Turns out they’re just a bunch of cowards."

"They scared the shit out of me for a second there."

"Those bastards came at us so aggressively, with those savage looks and killing intent. They nearly gave me a heart attack."

The group of Mountain Guard Disciples and Mountain Guardian Stewards burst into laughter, their faces full of disdain.

Su Mo was just as dumbfounded.

With a dark expression, Su Mo said, "Second Elder, why did you have your men pin me down? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Young Master, please don’t misunderstand. We’re not rebelling," the Second Elder explained.

Su Mo cursed, "And you say you’re not rebelling? You bastards looked like you were trying to kill me! Get off!"

"Hold him! Pin him down tight!"

The Second Elder pointed at Su Mo and said, "Patriarch, you and the Grand Elder go hold him down too. Don’t let the Young Master get up, no matter what."

"Alright!"

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Feng also walked over and pinned Su Mo down.

Su Mo was baffled. "Father-in-law, you’re joining their rebellion too? I haven’t done anything to wrong Qingxue, have I?"

’I’ve only been to the Yihong Courtyard once, and that was right after I transmigrated.’

’Ever since Xiao Zhan personally dragged me back to the Xiao Family, I’ve never gone back to a place like that, nor have I seen Dong Xiaowan again.’

The Second Elder said, "Young Master, promise me one thing, and I’ll have them let you up."

"What is it?"

Su Mo said, "As long as you’re not rebelling, I’ll agree. Not just to one thing, but to a hundred, even a thousand."

The last thing he ever wanted in this life was to see his own clan members killing each other.

The Second Elder said, "Good. Then promise me you won’t attack the Golden Sun Sect."

"Why?" Su Mo asked, confused.

The Second Elder took a deep breath. "Because you’re too strong. I’m afraid you’ll destroy the entire Golden Sun Sect with a single move."

Hearing this, Su Mo grew even more puzzled.

’We came to the Golden Sun Sect for revenge. Isn’t destroying it a good thing?’

The Second Elder explained, "The Golden Sun Sect is a treasure belonging to our Xiao Family. If you destroy the Golden Sun Sect, you’re destroying a part of our Xiao Family."

"Just for that?"

Su Mo was speechless.

The Second Elder said, "So, do you agree or not?"

"I agree!"

Su Mo said, "Now let me up. I’m afraid I’ll instinctively resist, and I might not be able to suppress my power and end up hurting you."

The Second Elder waved his hand. "Let the Young Master go."

RUSTLE!

Only then did everyone let go.

Su Mo said, exasperated, "Next time, say something like this earlier. Don’t pin me down again. I thought you were rebelling and almost attacked you."

’That was too dangerous. If I hadn’t been able to control myself and had attacked, I don’t know how many people from the Xiao Family would still be alive.’

"Evil King, go and challenge them," Su Mo ordered.

The Evil King stepped before the Mountain Guardian Stewards and said, "Hurry up and call out your Grand Elder to offer a formal apology, or else..."

"Well, well. Done fighting amongst yourselves?"

A gray-robed old man sneered, "Our Grand Elder is an extremely busy man. He has no time to deal with trash like you. Now, get lost."

"Trash?"

A slight smile touched the Evil King’s lips as he casually plucked the gray-robed elder’s head from his shoulders.

"Am I still trash?"

The Evil King sneered, his gaze sweeping over the Mountain Guardian Stewards.

In an instant, the remaining Mountain Guardian Stewards broke out in a cold sweat that soaked their backs.

’What happened?’

’Why did this group, who seemed so intimidated by our sect’s power just moments ago, suddenly become so ferocious? They’re killing people at the slightest provocation!’

"One moment, we’ll go get him right now," one of the Mountain Guardian Stewards said, trembling.

BOOM!

The Evil King shattered the Golden Sun Sect’s mountain gate with a single punch, then turned to the Second Elder and said, "Let’s just tear our way inside. Ignore them."

"Right, tear it all down."

"When the fighting starts, everyone control your strength. Don’t damage our Qingyang City’s treasure."

"Yes, yes, yes! The future development of our Qingyang City depends on these treasures."

The Second Elder personally led the demolition team.

Anyone who dared to stand in their way was either sent flying or killed outright. Soon, they had torn through the Golden Sun Sect’s main gate area.

「Meanwhile, inside the Golden Sun Sect.」

Xiong Buyu asked with a grim expression, "Hu the Second, are you certain the Nian Family was annihilated?"

"Absolutely certain!"

Hu the Second, who was sitting opposite him, nodded gravely. "The news came from one of our Hu Family’s Core Disciples. It’s completely reliable."

"This is trouble!"

Xiong Buyu’s face was etched with worry.

Since the enemy could destroy the Nian Family, they also had the power to destroy their Golden Sun Sect and the Hu Family.

Even if their two families joined forces, they probably couldn’t withstand them.

Hu the Second said in a low voice, "What’s more, our people brought back two unbelievable pieces of news."

"What unbelievable news?" Xiong Buyu asked curiously.

Hu the Second said, "All of the Nian Family’s experts at the Martial Monarch realm and above were killed with a single sword strike."

"What?"

Xiong Buyu’s face was a mask of horror.

The Nian Family had at least a thousand experts at the Martial Monarch realm or higher. Even if they were just pigs running wild across the mountains, it would take days to kill them all. How could they all be killed with a single sword strike?

It would be impossible even if they were all standing together.

There’s strength in numbers; enough ants can kill an elephant.

A thousand experts at the Martial Monarch and Martial King Levels, plus the Martial Emperor Level Nian Geng—their combined defense would have been incredibly strong.

Even a Martial Emperor at the Great Perfection stage couldn’t possibly kill them all with one strike.

Unless... they didn’t even try to defend themselves.

Xiong Buyu asked, "And the other piece of news?"

Hu the Second replied, "The Nian Family’s estate was completely dismantled. Everything was carried away. They didn’t even leave the latrines."

"What?"

Xiong Buyu shot to his feet in shock.

’Even bandits wouldn’t do something like that, would they?’

’Just who are these people?’

Hu the Second continued, "I estimate that the families near the Nian Family have also been destroyed by now. It’ll be our Hu Family and your Golden Sun Sect next."

"What are we going to do?"

Xiong Buyu’s face was ashen.

Hu the Second said, "To prevent our own destruction, I suggest you activate your defensive Grand Array immediately. At the same time, set up a Teleportation Array connecting to my Hu Family so we can support each other. I’ve already requested aid from Elder Li Kun of the Haoyue Sect. He should have arrived at my family’s estate by now."
