Chapter 1308 I Am No Longer a Member of the Kyoto Su Family
Tian Hai Dan's expression turned ruthless, and she produced a dagger from nowhere, stabbing towards Chen Xuan's chest!
"Pay with your son's life!"
The dagger struck Chen Xuan's chest, sounding like it hit metal or stone with a clang.
However, it didn't harm Chen Xuan in the slightest. Instead, the dagger in Tian Hai Dan's hand snapped in response.
"This..."
Seeing this, Tian Hai Dan's eyes trembled.
When she looked up and saw Chen Xuan's fierce gaze, she immediately shivered all over.
This guy was too terrifying!
"Scram!"
Chen Xuan's voice boomed like thunder, and a cold glint shot from his eyes.
Tian Hai Dan, terrified, fell to the ground with a plop.
Chen Xuan scoffed, then turned to Su Yunxi, his gaze becoming incredibly gentle. He said softly, "Yunxi, let's go."
Su Yunxi nodded silently, linking her arm with Chen Xuan's, and they walked out.
Perhaps witnessing Chen Xuan's prowess, they felt as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats and dared not say another word.
They hadn't walked far when a shout rang out: "Madam Jiang! Elder Su! Miss Yunxi!"
Looking up, they saw Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo rushing towards them.
Yang Zi Luo's ample bosom heaved, creating a ripple even more spectacular than the rainwater in the courtyard.
"Uncle Qingyang, Aunt Zi Luo, what happened?"
Su Yunxi frowned as she saw their anxious expressions.
"Clan Head Su Tianhuang is waiting for you ahead, and he's brought martial arts experts. You'd better not come this way; hurry and take the small path," Su Qingyang said urgently.
"Then let's quickly go through the back door. If we run into Su Tianhuang, this matter might take an unexpected turn," Elder Su said gravely.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, Chen Xuan said, "We might not have a chance to take the small path."
Everyone was startled for a moment, then followed Chen Xuan's gaze.
A guard ran over quickly, scanned the people of the Vermilion Bird lineage with a blank expression and imposing authority, and said, "The Clan Head has invited you. All disciples of the Su family from the Vermilion Bird lineage are requested to attend!"
Silence fell. The people of the Vermilion Bird lineage looked at each other, unsure how to respond.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan spoke, "Lead the way!"
The guard was momentarily surprised by Chen Xuan's cheerful agreement.
After all, Su Tianhuang had given him orders that if the Vermilion Bird lineage refused to see him, they were to be forcibly brought back.
"Alright! Follow me!"
The guard immediately turned and led the way.
"Chen Xuan, should we really go? What if Su Tianhuang has some scheme?" Jiang Biyun asked nervously.
Elder Su also looked anxious.
Su Qingyang said grimly, "Our Clan Head Su Tianhuang is definitely not someone to be trifled with. We must be careful."
All eyes were on Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi, waiting for them to make a decision.
Chen Xuan didn't take Su Tianhuang seriously at all. He smiled faintly and said, "Su Tianhuang's goal is nothing more than to covet the assets of the Vermilion Bird lineage. But does he really think he'll succeed? Don't worry, I still have a trump card. I guarantee it can ruin him!"
After speaking, Chen Xuan strode forward.
The others glanced at Chen Xuan's confident back, exchanged looks, and though filled with doubt, they followed Chen Xuan with large strides.
Soon, they arrived at a grand hall.
There were no doors or windows here. Normally, only the old, weak, women, and children rested here. Today, it was raining heavily, and the wind howled. Moreover, this was a windward spot, with fierce gusts that made people shiver.
In the center of the hall, Su Tianhuang sat in a Grand Tutor's chair. Behind him stood the esteemed elders of the Kyoto Su family, their powerful figures radiating immense aura, including martial arts experts who had brushed against the threshold beyond the Martial Venerable realm.
On both sides of Su Tianhuang were guards of the Kyoto Su family.
Around them, a large number of Kyoto Su family members had gathered, including the master of the Jia lineage, who viewed the Kyoto Su family as a thorn in their side. Tian Hai Dan and Su Yong Nian were also present.
Upon seeing Chen Xuan and the others, their expressions turned ferocious, as if they were about to devour the people of the Vermilion Bird lineage alive.
Su Yunxi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Su Tianhuang, may I know what you require us to attend for?"
Su Tianhuang's gaze fell upon Su Yunxi. "Yunxi, since your Vermilion Bird lineage arrived at the Kyoto Su family, has your Clan Head ever wronged you?"
Su Yunxi remained silent, then shook her head.
It had to be said that since the Vermilion Bird lineage's arrival in Kyoto, Su Tianhuang had indeed shown some favoritism towards them in handling various matters.
"Has Su Tianhuang ever made things difficult for your Vermilion Bird lineage?"
"No, not really."
"Should the Vermilion Bird lineage, upon returning to the Kyoto Su family, integrate its assets into the Kyoto Su family?"
"Logically... yes."
After a slight hesitation, Su Yunxi resolutely shook her head.
"Then why did your Vermilion Bird lineage refuse to integrate its assets into the Kyoto Su family and decide to leave the Kyoto Su family?"
"Because..."
Su Yunxi glanced at Chen Xuan.
"Is it because I disagreed with holding a funeral for him? But you've seen that our Kyoto Su family is not as strong as the Ge family of Kyoto. The Ge family has made demands, and for the sake of the family, I absolutely cannot do such a thing," Su Tianhuang said, trying to persuade her earnestly.
Su Yunxi remained silent.
Su Tianhuang, thinking Su Yunxi was swayed, quickly added fuel to the fire. "Yunxi, as long as you integrate the assets of the Vermilion Bird lineage into the Kyoto Su family now, I will decide not to pursue this matter further and will allow your Vermilion Bird lineage to return to the Kyoto Su family."
Su Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Clan Head, there's one more thing you haven't said, isn't there?"
Su Tianhuang was taken aback. "Indeed, there is one more thing. That is, Chen Xuan must bear the responsibility for this matter, otherwise the Kyoto Su family will face utter ruin!"
"I'm sorry, I won't agree to that! And don't even think about such a good thing."
Su Yunxi shook her head decisively.
Chen Xuan's importance in her heart was too great.
"Chen Xuan, let's go!"
With that, Su Yunxi took Chen Xuan's arm and turned to leave.
Su Tianhuang's face instantly turned icy, and he said coldly, "Stop!"
Before he finished speaking, two martial artists quickly leaped out, blocking Su Yunxi and the others' path.
"Are your ears deaf? The Family Head told you to stop!"
One of the martial artists said coldly, his gaze lecherously sweeping over Su Yunxi's figure.
"Get lost!"
Su Yunxi was very assertive and cursed.
The two martial artists' expressions turned fierce, and they were about to make a move, but Su Tianhuang stopped them. He continued, "Su Yunxi, I'm not discussing this with you; I'm commanding you in my capacity as Family Head!"
"I'm sorry, I am no longer a member of the Kyoto Su family."
Upon hearing this reply, Su Tianhuang's expression turned incredibly cold. "Since that's the case, then don't blame the Kyoto Su family for being heartless. None of you will be able to leave today, unless you hand over the assets of the Vermilion Bird lineage and Chen Xuan!"
Swish, swish, swish!
In the next moment, the martial artists moved like lightning, instantly surrounding the people of the Vermilion Bird lineage. Their killing intent was palpable, and the oppressive aura made the faces of the Vermilion Bird lineage members turn ashen!
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became extremely tense!
