Chapter 1758: Duke Xiaoyao (1/2)
Xiahou Zhen felt rather eone to threaten House Yan in person As a venerated elder of House Xiahou, he had always felt a natural superiority when it caht the Yan patriarch would carry out his orders unerringly
But Yan Wanjun had disappeared!
I was deceived by House Yan’s patriarch His deh reason to be angry
“Cal Since House Yan’s patriarch has decided to be rebellious, I will clean up my mess” It was Xiahou Zhen’s principle to be a responsiblea few fro remarked coolly
“What do you mean, notHouse Xiahou into those Yan nuainst House Yan currently, Zong’er?”
“Right now, House Yan is like a la to run ahether we kill it now or later If we mete out punishment upon House Yan noe only push it further towards the Eternal Sacred Land Though it won’t affect the house’s plans in the grand sches, it will introduce some unnecessary uncertainty”
The house’s plans!
Everyone cooled off when they heard that
Xiahou Zhen sank into thought Though he was a venerated elder, he illing to listen to Xiahou Zong’s opinion In fact, he didn’t haveis right The house is in mid-expansion and should prioritize intimidation rather than pulverization If we crush House Yan utterly, it won’t hesitate to turn to the Eternal Sacred Land!”
“That’s true We aren’t scared of House Yan, but we have better things to do Why should we give ourselves busywork? I think it is better to apply both the carrot and the stick That’ll keep them at a reasonable distance from both us and the sacred land”
Everyone nodded in consensus at that suggestion
Xiahou Zhen inclined his head “So I should pay attention to how I approach it then I can kill one or two as a show of House Xiahou’s attitude, which should be h”
“Just as it should be If we don’t do anything at all, House Yan will think us weak instead!”
Everyone nodded once ,” someone piped up, “ Shao Yuan from the Eternal Sacred Land is really quite full of hih to face you in the tourna shook his head coolly “I certainly hope so I don’t want to be disappointed yet again It’s been so many years, yet no worthy opponent in Eternal Divine Nation has risen to meet me Shao Yuan is capable at pill dao, but I’m not so sure about his martial dao”
“I hear his ood?” Xiahou Zong smiled faintly “It’ll be a shame if that’s all he has to offer”
There were countless cultivators with ‘pretty good’ martial dao talent in Eternal Divine Nation Such people were far beneath his attention
“Of course There hasn’t been a single genius who can go toe-to-toe with youngin martial dao in Eternal Divine Nation I’m not sure there will ever be one, either We never towered above the competition like you in our youths, so we don’t understand your loneliness very well, haha”
Even House Xiahou’s elders needed to praise Xiahou Zong from time to time His loftiness of position within the house was thus evident
Suddenly, the voices of the ure had appeared in the collective view of the attendees It was so insubstantial that it appeared to have blown in by the wind
“Patriarch!” There was instant silence upon the scene
The patriarch of House Xiahou held penultimate authority within the house Aside from the venerated forefather, he had the most power His name was Xiahou Xiaoyao, also known as Duke Xiaoyao
He was one of the strongestsuperiority over all but some of the most venerated forefathers Even the first prime of the Eternal Sacred Land couldn’t claier than him
