Chapter 151 Beating the Martial Alliance Envoy
When the Martial Alliance's special envoy arrived at the Xiao family, the Xiao family members had no choice but to welcome him.
Xiao Yuanshan led everyone out of the council hall and to the door for a meeting.
"Xiao Yuanshan of the Xiao family in Jiang City welcomes you both," Xiao Yuanshan said, clasping his hands in greeting.
Upon seeing Dongfang Ruyi, everyone couldn't help but show a hint of amazement in their eyes.
That extraordinary temperament is something that ordinary women in the world simply cannot compare to.
Standing at the back of the crowd, Xiao Chen glanced at her and had to admit that the woman was exceptionally beautiful.
With exceptional talent, superior strength, and outstanding intelligence, coupled with such stunning beauty, she truly deserves to be called the pride of the Martial Alliance.
She was a dazzling star among her peers, and countless young talents were captivated by her.
Dongfang Ruyi's demeanor was calm and composed, making it difficult for ordinary people to discern her true nature.
This was certainly no challenge for Xiao Chen.
"The Martial Alliance's top genius is also a King-level expert." He knew this in his mind.
At first glance, it seems that from Nancheng to Jiangshi, I've only ever come into contact with King-level martial artists, making them seem as common and worthless as cabbages...
But this does not affect the status of a King-level martial artist in the martial arts world.
It's just that Xiao Chen's own level is so high that he comes into contact with all kinds of top-tier organizations and forces that ordinary people cannot access.
King-level martial artists are incredibly powerful in the eyes of ordinary people; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are one in ten thousand.
However, the Xia Kingdom has a very large population base, so even with this calculation, there are still some kings.
The King level is equivalent to a top-tier master in the eyes of the world, outstanding and significantly superior to ordinary martial artists.
However, there are still distinctions even at the King level.
First order, second order, third order...
Most are at the first rank, the second rank may only account for one-tenth, and the third rank is extremely rare, belonging to the highest level of figures.
Beyond that, it becomes illusory, as vague and unreal as legend.
Xiao Chen stared at Dongfang Ruyi, who seemed to sense something and looked up at him.
Their gazes met, but Xiao Chen remained expressionless and naturally looked away.
Dongfang Ruyi frowned slightly.
She can usually get a general idea of most people at a glance.
But she couldn't see anything in Xiao Chen.
You could say it's devoid of any distinctive features, but it should be understood more as a kind of profoundness that makes it impossible for her to see through it.
"Old Master Xiao, I've heard so much about you." Dongfang Ruyi gave Xiao Yuanshan a slight bow, showing respect.
"Please come in, both of you." Xiao Jialin welcomed the two in.
"No need," the old man said, waving his hand. "We've come today to investigate some matters with the Xiao family."
"Remember, whatever questions I ask you, you must answer honestly. If you dare to lie in the slightest, you will have to bear the consequences!" He was very impolite and had a very bad attitude.
This caused the Xiao family members to frown and show their displeasure.
"We are here to investigate the case on orders from the Martial Alliance headquarters. We are special envoys, and the headquarters has granted us many privileges. If the Xiao family has really done anything to violate the laws of martial arts, we will show no mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the Xiao family members' expressions turned ugly.
The other party seemed to have already identified the Xiao family as the murderers.
“Special Envoy, even if the Martial Alliance is investigating a case, there are corresponding rules and regulations. Don’t make wild claims without evidence!” Xiao Jialin said coldly.
"If you had evidence, I would have ordered the Xiao family to be surrounded immediately. Why would I waste my breath arguing with you here?" the old man said in a deep voice.
His nitpicking attitude infuriated the Xiao family.
"Are all martial arts alliances this arrogant when investigating cases?" Xiao Chen said with a stern face.
"The Martial Alliance has always acted this way. Does your Xiao family intend to defy orders?" The old man asked, casting a cold gaze over them.
Seeing Xiao Chen's youthful appearance, he snorted coldly.
"Who do you think you are to speak like this? This special envoy is questioning you. Only the head of the Xiao family is qualified to answer. Don't you know the rules?" he scolded with a stern face.
"Special Envoy, you've gone too far!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted in a deep voice, his voice carrying a hidden force that made the old man's expression freeze and his blood surge.
"Hmph!" The special envoy suffered a hidden loss and was not very pleased with himself.
"Make this junior apologize, and I can let bygones be bygones," he said arrogantly.
“Xiao Chen…” The members of the Xiao family looked at Xiao Chen and gave him meaningful glances.
After all, the special envoy represents the Martial Alliance, and they are currently in a precarious situation, so they hope that Xiao Chen can be patient for the time being.
Xiao Chen walked forward expressionlessly.
"Hmph!" The old man snorted coldly, showing his impatience and arrogance.
It seems that letting Xiao Chen apologize and then letting bygones be bygones is already giving him a lot of face.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Chen lightly lifted his right foot, then kicked out with a vengeance.
The Xiao family was shocked when they saw him kick.
The old man's eyes widened in surprise and anger, and he was about to take action.
"boom!"
He was about to block with his hand, but before he could even extend his hand, the foot had already kicked him in the stomach.
In an instant, the old man's face contorted, and with a whoosh, he curled into a ball and flew out of the Xiao family's gate.
Watching him roll around outside like a ball, the Xiao family members had a terrible headache and their faces were full of black lines.
Good heavens, this temper of his is truly uncontrollable...
That was a special envoy from the Martial Alliance. If they kicked him, the other party would use it as an excuse to make trouble, and the Xiao family would face considerable pressure.
Dongfang Ruyi, who had been wearing a cold expression, showed a change in her pretty face, her eyes revealing surprise.
Xiao Chen's actions were truly beyond her expectations.
He'll start a fight at the slightest provocation—what kind of temper is that?
He kicked the Martial Alliance's special envoy.
Isn't he afraid of being investigated by the Martial Alliance?
What concerned Dongfang Ruyi most was the effect of this kick.
It wasn't very powerful, but the elder in charge couldn't defend against it.
He was kicked away...
That wasn't an ordinary martial artist, but a king-level one.
One kick sent a King-level expert flying... and he was about the same age as her. What does that mean?
Dongfang Ruyi frowned, her gaze deep.
Her doubts deepened.
The old man rolled around outside more than ten times before stopping, and when he got up, his face was bruised and swollen.
The injury wasn't serious, but he was so angry his nose was crooked.
"How dare you kick the Martial Alliance envoy! Do you know what crime that is?!" He pointed at Xiao Chen and shouted angrily.
"Can you bear the responsibility? Can the Xiao family bear the responsibility? If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll go too far!"
Shouting and cursing, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up and beat someone up.
"That's enough," Dongfang Ruyi said, stopping them.
"Elder, you are no match for him."
"Bullshit! I was just careless!" the old man shouted indignantly.
"Elder, you have indeed gone too far."
Dongfang Ruyi stared at him seriously, and his tone softened.
"I never imagined that the Xiao family of Jiang City could cultivate such a young prodigy. They truly deserve to be called an ancient martial arts family with a long and distinguished history." She spoke slowly and calmly.
"However, assaulting Martial Alliance law enforcement officers has violated the Martial Law."
“Mr. Xiao Chen, I suspect you are involved in the massacre of the Tan and Zheng families. In accordance with Article 30 of the Martial Arts Code, I am summoning you and hope you will cooperate with our investigation,” Dongfang Ruyi said to Xiao Chen expressionlessly.
