The Crazy Son-In-Law

In the forest shrouded by night, a brilliant blue light flickered gently.

At this moment, Xiao Shun exuded an ethereal aura, as if he were a celestial being.

“What is going on?”

Elder Wu’s mouth hung open, his expression one of sheer disbelief.

He could not comprehend the scene before him. What exactly was happening?

It wasn’t just Elder Wu who was baffled; the other elders were equally perplexed, unable to find a reasonable explanation for the current situation.

The temperature of alchemical fire was incredibly high, and the dantian was the most vulnerable part of a cultivator. The consequences of these two coming into contact were unimaginable.

Seeing the stunned expressions on their faces, Xiao Shun’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Suddenly, the blue light surrounding his body intensified.

A wave of scorching heat swept through everyone’s vision, making the air around them unbearably hot.

Abruptly, Xiao Shun moved!

The blue light cut through the air as he transformed into a streak of light, instantly appearing in front of Elder Si’s golden cicada.

A powerful punch drove straight towards the golden insect.

With a loud “bang,” a golden flash exploded in the void. The indestructible golden cicada shattered into dust from the force of the punch.

“Pfft!”

Elder Si spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward as if struck by a heavy blow, crashing into a large tree and losing consciousness.

“Si!”

The other elders were alarmed at this sight.

When someone’s life-bound Gu was killed, the master would suffer a backlash from the Gu technique and be severely injured!

Miao Xiuyun gritted his teeth. Though he was worried about Elder Si’s condition, he knew that capturing Xiao Shun was paramount. He loudly reminded everyone.

“Now is not the time to worry about Si! This kid has merged with alchemical fire; we must give it our all, or none of us will leave here tonight!”

Hearing this, the elders were shocked!

Merging with alchemical fire?

Only ancient powerhouses had such capabilities, using alchemical fire to temper their bodies.

Xiao Shun was merely at Anterior Heaven level; how could he achieve this and rival those ancient cultivators?

Xiao Shun had no intention of answering their doubts.

After dealing with Elder Si and his golden cicada with one punch, he immediately turned and charged towards Elder Wu’s swarm of Gu insects.

As they got closer, the protective membrane around Elder Wu’s Gu insects evaporated under the high temperature, dissipating into thin smoke.

Witnessing this scene, Elder Wu was shaken to his core. He blurted out in disbelief: “How is this possible…”

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Shun thrust out his palm horizontally.

A faint blue ripple spread from his palm and instantly enveloped Elder Wu’s Gu insects.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Countless sounds of shattering echoed in the air; those Gu insects couldn’t withstand even one strike from Xiao Shun!

In an instant, they turned into piles of debris under his flying palm strikes.

Following this, Elder Wu also spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground like Elder Si.

The mountain wind tonight felt so cold!

Elder San trembled slightly, feeling as if his heart was wrapped in ice.

He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Shun approached his Gu insects.

Then everything went black before his eyes, and silence ensued!

In less than a minute, Xiao Shun had dealt with three Gu masters after merging with alchemical fire. Such an achievement would undoubtedly cause an uproar in the world of Gu techniques.

But he did not stop his relentless assault.

With a heavy stomp, Xiao Shun charged towards the last remaining Gu insect. His sword-like fingers pierced through it forcefully.

“Bang!”

A green mist of blood exploded as Elder Er’s life-bound Gu became history. He too suffered severe injuries and fell unconscious.

At this moment, Xiao Shun’s only remaining enemies were Miao Xiuyun and his son Miao Ruohu.

Miao Ruohu was no longer worth considering. Even if he stood still and allowed him to use Gu techniques, nothing would happen to him now.

Thus, Xiao Shun’s gaze remained fixed on Miao Xiuyun alone.

Under Xiao Shun’s intense gaze, Miao Xiuyun felt a sense of dread creeping into his heart. He tightly gripped a black jar, his expression hesitant.

As the leader of Silvermeadows, his strength naturally surpassed that of the other elders. If he released his life-bound Gu now, he wasn’t sure if he could withstand Xiao Shun’s power.

With all four elders severely injured, if something happened to him as well, Silvermeadows would be in grave trouble. Other Meadowfolk tribes would surely seize this opportunity to invade Silvermeadows for its territory and resources.

While Miao Xiuyun pondered deeply,

Xiao Shun’s voice broke through from not far away: “Are you the leader of Silvermeadows?”

Miao Xiuyun did not respond but stared at him warily instead.

Xiao Shun chuckled indifferently at this reaction. “Heh heh, there’s something I’m very curious about.”

Not wanting to provoke Xiao Shun further and risk angering him more than necessary, Miao Xiuyun replied: “What is it?”

Seeing this response made Xiao Shun smile even more broadly. He straightforwardly asked: “Where did you get those raw stones you took to auction at Sundown Bazaar?”

Hearing this question made Miao Xiuyun’s face change drastically.

“That’s a secret of our Silvermeadows clan; I cannot reveal it to an outsider like you!”

“We may be outsiders now but soon we won’t be.”

Xiao Shun smiled meaningfully.

“What do you mean?” Miao Xiuyun asked in confusion.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Casting him a calm glance, Xiao Shun declared firmly: “Both martial cultivators and Gu cultivators are part of cultivation society; my New School Society aims to unite all cultivators across this nation-Meadowfolks included!”

Upon hearing this bold statement,

Miao Xiuyun couldn’t help but laugh out loud despite himself,

No longer caring about Xiao Shun’s threat,

“You’re dreaming! Our mountains have always belonged solely to Meadowfolks since ancient times! Even if you defeat all our top Gu masters here today-you’ll never bring these lands under your control!”

Narrowing his eyes slightly,

Xiao Shun seemed to grasp something important from Miao Xiuyun’s words:

Could it be true as suspected-that Meadowfolks were actually representatives for Gu Clan?

This thought quickly took root within him!

Based on earlier conversations with Xia Li and just now with Miao Xiuyun-it became increasingly clear that there existed another force stronger than Meadowfolks governing them secretly within these mountains;

And apart from “Meadow Ridge,” no other name came close enough;

Thus confirming suspicions further-this journey seeking spiritual veins ahead promised great danger indeed…
