Chapter 305: 171, 172. Secretly Control Dashang, No One Can Rival Shou (Seeking Subscriptions)

Nothing could describe the emotions of the Head of the Xiao Family at this moment; if one must put it into words, it was like "sitting safely at home watching TV with all your security doors locked tight, but just then, your TV screen starts flickering with black and white static, and following that, Sadako crawls out and invades your home"...

Xiao Cibei stared intently at the Mysterious Turtle, and then at the spiritual tablet and family genealogy, where "Song Cheng" was placed in the first position.

The head of the family had changed.

From now on, the head of the Xiao Family would be Song Cheng.

And the Mysterious Turtle in front of him immediately reminded him of the True Martial Emperor Monarch, who had instantaneously killed the Saint Heavenly Buddha.

Indeed, Song Cheng was exceptionally gifted, and there indeed was a massive force behind him... but he had never imagined that this force could be so terrifying.

Now, he had nowhere to run.

Facing a being who could easily enter the Yin Residence, facing a new family head who could summon him at any moment... how could he escape?

"Emperor."

Xiao Cibei stood up and bowed respectfully.

There was no choice; some realities had to be accepted, and one must bow their head when it’s appropriate.

"Submit?"

The Mysterious Turtle spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Cibei replied, "Henceforth, I shall only follow the Emperor’s lead..."

Song Cheng looked at him. He hadn’t expected this man, strong and robust with thick brows, to be someone who understood the times. Therefore, he continued in a deep voice, "The people who fought with me that day escaped, three of them. You should know their whereabouts, shouldn’t you?

If you don’t know, then you’ve lost the opportunity to prove your loyalty. From now on, you will be sealed directly in this Yin Residence."

Xiao Cibei:...

At this moment, his thoughts raced like lightning, almost wanting to argue with "I... really don’t know," but seeing the cold eyes of the Mysterious Turtle opposite him, he closed his mouth again.

He didn’t know if he could still see tomorrow’s sun once he uttered the words "don’t know."

As the head of the Xiao Family, who controlled the Jiangnan region, coveted the world, and had survived the Reappear Calamity as the mastermind behind the scenes, where had Xiao Cibei ever suffered such humiliation? But in the world of power, that was the harsh reality...

Xiao Cibei sighed deeply, "I am willing to cooperate fully with the Emperor... Among those three, one must be the Demon-subduing Arhat, the other two being the Sword Immortal and the Emperor. I can only vaguely pinpoint the whereabouts of the Demon-subduing Arhat; as for the other two... perhaps, after capturing the Demon-subduing Arhat, we could trace down from there."

Song Cheng asked again, "Song Cheng is a junior of my Immortal Tower, who was left in the Human World. You took him into the Xiao Family merely because you saw the military potential in him to help the Xiao Family compete in the Central Plains. But why do you seek to compete in the Central Plains?"

Immortal Tower?

Xiao Cibei was stunned for a moment, then said, "Could it be that Mysterious Lady is also..."

Without waiting for a response, he murmured, "No wonder, no wonder..."

It was only at this moment that Xiao Cibei truly decided to go all in; after all, the other party was also an immensely powerful force. Thus, he said, "The grand trend of the world, as it has long been said: separated for long must unite, united for long must separate, the grand trend, is Yang.

When Yang gathers, Yin gathers; when Yang disperses, Yin disperses... Only with the dispersing of Yin, can the Ghost River remain ungathered.

Then channeling it by conduits, drawing the water of a hundred rivers, summoning the ghosts of a hundred lands, gathering them together, and channeling them into the Blue Sea.

Thus, this land may remain unharmed."

Song Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Nonsense, the more people die, the more ghosts there will be. In a place without people, there would be no Yang Qi to counterbalance the Yin Qi."

Xiao Cibei forced a smile and said, "I previously heard from Saint... Saint... "

"Saint Heavenly Buddha," Song Cheng helped him finish.

Xiao Cibei continued, "Yes, yes, the Saint Heavenly Buddha said that Yin Qi comes from Taiyin and does not change with the increase or decrease of people but changes with the movements of Yin and Yang... I didn’t expect that to be false."

"Where is the Saint Heavenly Buddha now?" Song Cheng asked again.

Xiao Cibei said tremulously, "He has been slain by the Emperor in the Imperial Capital."

In the eyes of this head of the Xiao Family, the enormous Mysterious Turtle seemed to remember for a moment, before speaking in a deep voice, "That little monk, he dared to claim to be a Buddha?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

Xiao Cibei laughed dryly, "Yes, yes, what the Emperor says is right."

Meanwhile, Song Cheng was somewhat reassured on his side.

If he had indeed consumed the Saint Heavenly Buddha, it seemed he could indeed start moving around this land.

"Then take me to find the Demon-subduing Arhat."

"Yes, Emperor. But I only know the possible location, I cannot... be entirely certain. I will try my best," Xiao Cibei replied, anxious and fearful.

Song Cheng thought for a moment and then said, "Have your men set out to fetch Song Cheng yet?"

"I’ll send him—" before he could finish speaking, Xiao Cibei suddenly realized he couldn’t summon his subordinates anymore.

No sooner had he spoken than he realized Song Cheng had disappeared.

Song Cheng had made his way outside the Xiao Family, but found that as long as he was in the high tower, members of the noble family could not be forcibly expelled, so he returned, saying, "This is easy, I’ll summon them for you, you... you just pretend you’re still the head of the family."

"Yes..."

...

...

Meanwhile...

Xiao Bi and Xiao Yan, who were preparing to head north to "invite" Song Cheng back, received baffling instructions and had no choice but to return...

Xiao Bi asked why, and received a barrage of angry words from Xiao Cibei.

...

...

Days later.

In a certain part of Jiangnan, a "Xuanwu Taoist Temple" was established with a giant turtle painting hanging inside.

...

...

A few days more.

Deep underground in a certain part of Jiangnan, in a cellar-like depth, a monk’s coffin was dragged out, and as his Divine Soul was about to escape, it was swallowed whole by a dark-golden Mysterious Turtle.

Inside, the Divine Soul of the Demon-subduing Arhat was swirling like a leaf in a vortex, constantly spinning.

During the spin, the power on his body, even the ghostly color, seemed to be endlessly carved away...

Xiao Cibei stood by, staring blankly.

He had thought the battle would be earth-shatteringly spectacular.

But... it was just a matter of a single bite.

Song Cheng, seeing that the Demon-subduing Arhat was nearly half dead, dragged him into the Xiao Family’s Yin Residence, where the Mysterious Turtle slightly loosened its huge mouth, allowing the Arhat’s arm to stretch out from between its sharp teeth.
