Chapter 108 – The Qiu Family Arrives

Xiao Yun had obtained this Flaming Lion Seal from one of the Scarlet Fire Gang’s elders. After obtaining this magic seal, Xiao Yun knew that that elder had not completely comprehended the profoundness of this magic seal, and so was not able to completely release its might.

Since he had obtained this Martial Skill, he naturally wanted to completely master it and be able to use it to its potential. As such, he continuously practiced, and started to attentively mull over its profoundness.

“The characteristics of a lion – its berserk characteristics?” Xiao Yun wondered to himself.

“But why berserk?” Xiao Yun thought as he created the magic seal.

After creating it a few times, Xiao Yun still felt that something was missing.

“Maybe it’s not the berserk characteristic of a lion? What if it’s the wildness of a lion – the wildness of a lion’s pursuit of prey?” Xiao Yun suddenly realised something. “That’s right, this sort of wildness is a fearless wildness, one that commits everything to the fight, and uses an absolute might to suppress the enemy, striking fear into their heart.”

After he thought about this, Xiao Yun started to create the magic seal again. As he did this, his eyes seemed to burn with fire as he stared ahead of him, as if he was about to destroy his prey with a single strike.

An indescribable might started to slowly be fused into the magic seal.

Before, the seal made of fire only bore some semblance to a lion, but now, it even seemed to give off the aura of a true lion.

Boom!

The magic seal shot forwards, obliterating a part of the fake mountain. A monstrous shockwave was sent throughout the entire courtyard, but Xiao Yun did not pay it much mind, and once again thought to himself.

“It’s still not enough,” Xiao Yun thought as he shook his head, feeling that the magic seal was still missing something. However, Xiao Yun did not feel discouraged, and continued to try to comprehend this magic seal.

Just as Xiao Yun was diligently trying to comprehend his Flaming Lion Seal, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the Yuan residence. Within the Yuan family’s guest hall, a few elders were seated together and the atmosphere seemed quite cold.

“Brother Yuan, that Xiao Yun killed my Qiu family’s people; please hand him over.” This was an elder in his 50s. He had incredibly bright and expressive eyes, and he stroked his short beard as he stared with a malicious look in his eyes, and spoke to the Eldest Patriarch.

This was one of the Qiu family’s elders called Qiu Xuan Chong, who was half a step away from the Essence Core realm.

Beside Qiu Xuan Chong were a few True Essence realm cultivators. All of their gazes were cold and sharp, as if they were here to sentence the Yuan family to a crime. However, facing the Yuan family’s might, these people did not dare to be arrogant, and spoke relatively courteously. However, from their expressions, the Yuan family could tell that they had not come with good intentions.

However, the Yuan family’s elders did not rashly speak. After all, they were representing their entire family.

“Brother Xuan Chong, I’ll have to refuse,” Yuan Lin said calmly, a formless might spreading out from him. He glanced at the Qiu family’s cultivators as he said, “Xiao Yun is our Yuan family’s guest; how could we hand him over to you? This hatred is between your family and him, and we shouldn’t interfere. However, you sent people to try to kill him in our Cloudsea Merchant Alliance, which was uncalled for. If anyone heard about this, they would think that anyone could kill as they wished within our Cloudsea Merchant Alliance.” The Yuan family’s Eldest Patriarch’s tone was severe, and had an air of reproach, causing the Qiu family’s people to deeply frown.

Qiu Xuan Chong frowned, then said, “I deeply apologise about that matter. It’s just that you should know that this Xiao Yun killed my grandnephew Yu Chen – he was a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect, and had an extraordinary status. If you are determined to protect Xiao Yun, it’s best that you carefully think about it.”

The meaning behind these words were evident – it served to remind the Yuan family that this matter concerned the Heaven Origin Sect.

The Eldest Patriarch replied, “You don’t need to concern yourselves with this. No matter what, since Xiao Yun is our Yuan family’s guest, we won’t allow you to do anything to him. If you want to settle your enmity, why not just wait?”

“Looks like your Yuan family is determined to oppose our Qiu family,” Qiu Xuan Chong said with a cold gaze.

“Brother Qiu’s words are a bit extreme.” The Yuan family’s Eldest Patriarch’s expression also became cold, and he released his aura, not seeming like he would back down.

The Qiu family’s expressions darkened.

“Alright, since you’re determined about this, I won’t say anymore. However, our Qiu family is determined to take Xiao Yun’s life. Let’s see how long you can protect him for. Hmph, this matter has long since been reported to the Heaven Origin Sect, and our family’s experts will arrive at any time,” Qiu Xuan Chong said with a sinister gaze. He then stood up and said, “Let’s go.” He flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

“You can see yourself out.” The Yuan family’s Eldest Patriarch glared at them coldly. As an Essence Core realm expert, how could he be threatened so easily?

“Hmph.” Qiu Xuan Chong coldly harrumphed and led his family’s people out.

“What are you so arrogant about? Isn’t it just because you have a Pill Master? Once our family’s genius enters the Mysterious Essence Battlefield then enters the Heavenly Capital Domain, our Qiu family’s status will skyrocket. When that time comes, we’ll crush your Yuan family.” The Qiu family’s elders coldly looked at the Yuan family’s Eldest Patriarch and coldly harrumphed as they left.

As the Qiu family’s people angrily left, different expressions appeared on the Yuan family’s elder’s faces.

“Eldest Patriarch, refusing the Qiu family in such a way probably was not for the best,” one of the elders said.

Another elder agreed, “That’s right! The Qiu family’s strength is not much weaker than our Yuan family, and it’s said that the Qiu family has a genius within the Heaven Origin Sect. He’s extraordinarily talented, and is quite prominent even within the Heaven Origin Sect, and even might have an opportunity to go to the Mysterious Essence Battlefield. If he obtains some sort of legacy there and steps into the Heavenly Capital Domain, their status will be greatly improved!”

The other elders all frowned.

Apart from Yuan Cheng and his brothers, the rest of these people were elders of the Yuan family, and held important positions.

“What do you want to do then?” Yuan Lin narrowed his eyes, calmly looking at the elders who had spoken. However, his calmness gave off an imposing might.

“I think there’s no reason to burn our bridges with the Qiu family over an outsider,” one elder said.

Someone else agreed, “That’s right, this youth is just an outsider. Why must we do this?”

None of these people wanted to enter into conflict with the Qiu family – after all, they were both powerful families in the Moonwind Kingdom, so why did they have to make matters so difficult?

“Old Third, what do you say?” Yuan Lin turned to look at the Third Patriarch.

“I don’t think we need to give in,” Yuan Cheng said as he looked around. “Our Cloudsea Merchant Alliance is present throughout the Moonwind Kingdom, and controls more than half of the Moonwind Kingdom’s medicinal ingredient trades. We have many allies and a powerful foundation; how can that Qiu family compare to us? Furthermore, if it’s known that our Cloudsea Merchant Alliance threw out a friend and allowed others to kill him, who would be willing to work with us? What makes us successful isn’t just ‘trustworthiness’, but ‘righteousness’. Only then will others be willing to work with us.”

“Well said.” Yuan Lin nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

“But that Qiu family…” There were still people frowning, feeling that they shouldn’t do such a thing for Xiao Yun.

“The Qiu family?” Yuan Lin’s gaze darkened and he looked around as he coldly harrumphed, “So what if the Qiu family has an extraordinary genius? Over the past hundreds of years, many large sects have sent people into the Mysterious Essence Battlefield, but how many of them were able to successfully enter the Heavenly Capital Domain? How many of our Yuan family’s geniuses have fallen at the Mysterious Essence Battlefield? If we were all as timid as you, how could our Yuan family stand up in this world?”

The Third Patriarch nodded and said, “Exactly. The Qiu family has geniuses; does our Yuan family not have any geniuses?”

Since these 2 brothers were agreeing with each other and staring down everyone else, none of the elders dared to say anything.

“Meeting adjourned.” Yuan Lin looked around coldly, and a powerful aura swept out from his body. “Do not bring up this matter in future.”

When they saw Yuan Lin so resolute, the elders shook their heads but did not dare to say anything. After all, the Yuan family only had so many Essence Core realm cultivators. Not only was Yuan Lin an Essence Core realm cultivator, even his father, the Yuan family’s old patriarch, was at the complete stage of the Essence Core realm, and had been in closed-door training the entire time. With the father and son present, very few people in the Yuan family dared to oppose them.

Unless the family faced a life or death situation, the other 2 old Essence Core realm cultivators would not come out either.

“I hope Xiao Yun will not let us down.” After the elders left, Yuan Lin and Yuan Cheng looked at each other. If this youth was just someone ordinary, destroying their relations.h.i.+p with the Qiu family definitely would not be worth it. As such, they could only watch and wait.

In one of the Yuan family’s courtyards, Xiao Yun was still continuously pondering about the Flaming Lion Seal.

“Use my heart to create the seal, and imagine myself to be a wild lion, pouring that intent into the magic seal. Only then will I be able to release the full power of this magic seal,” Xiao Yun muttered to himself. He started to form the seal with his hands, and poured all of his mind into the seal formed with violet flames.

The magic seal condensed and took shape, and Xiao Yun’s hands guided it to leap forwards.

Roar!!!

A loud roar sounded out, and one could almost see a violet lion leaping forwards. It was as if this wild lion had a life of its own.

That lion raised its head to the heavens and gave a ferocious roar.

Boom!

The area in front of him trembled, and a large crater appeared. A nearby wall trembled, then collapsed. These shockwaves caused some people nearby to run over.

After seeing that Xiao Yun was training, they left with their hearts at ease.

“This Xiao Yun is so strong!”

“Perhaps only True Essence realm cultivators will be able to unleash such shockwaves!”

The Yuan family’s people quietly discussed, “No wonder why the Eldest Patriarch is willing to be at odds with the Qiu family for him. Looks like he really is a genius!”

“I’ve finally mastered this Flaming Lion Seal.” Xiao Yun stopped training, feeling delighted. This magic seal was an Earth grade Martial Skill that was quite hard to master. For him to grasp its essence and comprehend its profoundness in such a short period of time could be said to be a miracle.

Back then, even that elder of the Scarlet Fire Gang had not even come close to Xiao Yun’s understanding of it! It was evident how monstrous Xiao Yun’s talent was.

“The Qiu family came?” Xiao Yun sent out his spirit energy, hearing those sounds of discussions.

“Looks like the Yuan family didn’t let me down.” Xiao Yun shook his head and returned to his room to rest.

After continuously using his flames, Xiao Yun had used up much of the Violet Flame Martial Spirit’s energy. Luckily he had the Fire essence liquid from Yiyi’s cauldron – otherwise, it would be difficult for his Violet Flame Martial Spirit to recover unless he found a Fire Vein and continuously absorbed Fire Essence Qi from there.
