Chapter 1925: Chapter 1924: The Word “Kill” Resolves All Matters

“Send your brother over when the time comes, and I’ll teach him.”

A few people were chatting when suddenly a group of people broke in from outside.

“Grandfather, it’s him.”

A young man pointed at He Shitou, speaking somberly.

“The noon before my father died, he came to see He Shitou.

He also checked on the thin horse he had fostered here.”

He Shitou turned his head and recognized the group of people.

The leader was a clan elder of the Heavenly Being clan and also the father of Blade Guest Xu, Xu Yang.

That young man was Blade Guest Xu’s son, named Xu Chen.

When he attempted to assassinate Blade Guest Xu last night, Xu Chen wasn’t home.

Or rather, Xu Chen often hung out all night with a bunch of troublemakers and rarely came home.

Blade Guest Xu also indulged and pampered him.

“What do you all want with me?” He Shitou frowned and asked.

“Tell me, is my father’s death related to you?” Xu Chen shouted.

Whether it was related or not, he came in strong, shifting the blame onto He Shitou.

Especially when Xu Chen saw Meng Yuqing in He Shitou’s house, his jealousy flared up even more.

“He Shitou must die,” Xu Chen thought to himself.

Although saddened by his father’s death, he could accept it.

After all, with his grandfather around, his position in the clan would remain unchanged.

However, Meng Yuqing had been delaying her acceptance to marry him, and Xu Chen didn’t want to postpone it any longer.

He decided to use He Shitou’s safety as a threat against Meng Yuqing.

After all, he had done such things before.

“Don’t spout baseless accusations,” He Shitou wasn’t a fool.

Explaining, “I have no grudge with Blade Guest Xu, why would I kill him?

Besides, with Blade Guest Xu’s level of cultivation, how could I possibly kill him?”

Upon hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.

He Shitou’s words made sense.

But Xu Chen’s eyes fell on Xu Zimei beside him.

He obviously had a plan in mind.

Taking advantage of his father’s murder, he could frame others and eliminate He Shitou as well.

This way, nobody could control him, and he could eliminate a rival, killing two birds with one stone.

“Who is he?”

Xu Chen pointed at Xu Zimei, shouting.

“This isn’t one of our Heavenly Being clan, clearly an outsider.

Our Heavenly Being clan was fine before, and suddenly, an outsider appeared, and my father died.

Can you say it’s unrelated?”

“Brother Xu is severely injured and has been recuperating; he wouldn’t have the energy to kill your father,” He Shitou quickly said.

“Whether or not it is, a proper interrogation will reveal the truth; how can we rely solely on your word?”

As Xu Chen spoke, he turned to look at the old man beside him.

He said, “Grandfather, I think we should arrest these people and interrogate them slowly.

To prevent them from fleeing.”

“Who gave you the right to kill people at will?” He Shitou shouted.

“I’m going to the clan leader to file a complaint.”

“This is a family matter, the clan leader won’t intervene,” Xu Chen sneered.

Once they were caught, things would become easy to handle.

How hard could it be to deal with a mere Meng Yuqing?

“Seize them,” Xu Yang ordered.

A few people behind him started to step forward.

“This is outrageous,” He Shitou’s face turned livid, prepared to resist.

But Xu Zimei’s voice suppressed him.

“Alright, if someone wants you dead, reasoning won’t work.”

Xu Zimei spoke, drawing everyone’s attention to him.

“Kid, you’re somewhat self-aware.”

Xu Chen sneered.

“As an outsider, you shouldn’t have come to our Heavenly Being clan.”

Xu Zimei said nothing, only waved his hand.

Instantly, endless Blade Qi expanded around them.

The Blade Qi seemed like a sharp knife hovering in the firmament, ready to fall at any moment.

Everyone even felt a chill around their necks.

As if the blade would cut their throats.

“Arrogant fool,” Xu Yang shouted.

A stronger aura erupted from his body.

It was a level beyond the peak of Returning Void, but in Xu Zimei’s eyes, still as weak as an insect.

“Slash!”

As if his words were law.

With a “boom,”

The Blade Qi hovering in the firmament descended.

Directly severing Xu Yang’s defensive Spiritual Energy, it decapitated him.

When blood spurted from the headless neck, everyone finally regained their senses.

“You…”

Xu Chen looked at Xu Zimei, too frightened to speak.

Those who had followed Xu Yang reacted the fastest and directly knelt down.

“Noble Immortal, we were blind to your greatness and offended you. Please forgive us this once.

We are willing to build a shrine in your honor and worship you for generations.”

“Killing you is as easy as squashing an ant,” Xu Zimei said blandly.

“So, these petty conspiracies, I disdain thinking about them with you insects.

Let your clan leader come to see me.”

Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

They all ran to call the clan leader.

……

Meng Yuqing and He Shitou never expected Xu Zimei to be so decisive and ruthless.

Both were so frightened they couldn’t speak.

“Do you think I’m too harsh?” Xu Zimei asked.

He Shitou quickly shook his head.

“Brother Xu killed on my behalf; I have no right to say anything.”

“He who kills must be prepared to be killed, remember that,” Xu Zimei said.

“I am not a kind person.

Kind people won’t survive long in this dog-eat-dog world.

I will remain in the Heavenly Being clan for a while.

Once I leave, your affairs will no longer be my concern.”

Meng Yuqing turned around quickly and said, “Brother Xu, I’ll bring my brother, Man, over.”

Knowing that Xu Zimei might leave soon, Meng Yuqing couldn’t care about anything else.

She hoped her brother could seize this rare opportunity.

……

Shortly thereafter,

The clan leader of the Heavenly Being clan arrived at He Shitou’s courtyard, accompanied by many.

“Noble Immortal, forgive us for not properly receiving you,”

The clan leader of the Heavenly Being clan was an elder named Wang You.

When Xu Zimei was comatose on the mountain, the elder had merely glanced at him and left.

Because he thought Xu Zimei wouldn’t survive his injuries.

Unexpectedly, he had underestimated; an Immortal transcends common sense.

“How do you plan to handle this matter?” Xu Zimei asked with interest.

“Since we have offended an Immortal, it is only right that we deserve death,” Wang You said sincerely, daring not to show any dissatisfaction.

Despite having ant-like cultivation, Wang You wasn’t foolish in his actions, hence his position as the Heavenly Being clan leader.

“Let Xu Chen take his own life, everyone else can leave,” Xu Zimei waved his hand and said.

Since Xu Chen had offended him, he naturally couldn’t be spared.

At that moment, everyone in the Heavenly Being clan looked at Xu Chen, some eager to personally see to it.

Xu Chen was almost petrified with fear.
