Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Xiao Yi's face carried a serious and curious expression.

Xiao Tianjiao.

This universally recognized number one prodigy of the Great Qian Dynasty, what Dharma Manifestation had he formed?

Yang Zun pondered for a moment, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed as he said in a deep voice, "No one knows what Dharma Manifestation Xiao Tianjiao has formed..."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi was startled.

It had been some time since Xiao Tianjiao reached the Dharma Manifestation Realm, could it be that he never made a move?

Seeming to notice Xiao Yi's confusion, Yang Zun gave a wry smile and said, "That's because all those who have seen him make a move are dead!"

Emperor Qian, who was standing by, shifted his gaze with a solemn expression and said gravely, "I once received intelligence that when Xiao Tianjiao was breaking through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm, an assassin from the Northern Sword Dynasty had taken action; he was an expert at the Third Nirvana Realm. That powerful figure attempted to disrupt Xiao Tianjiao's tribulation, but was instead slaughtered by Xiao Tianjiao with one strike!"

Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly.

He had just broken through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm and was able to slay an expert of the Third Nirvana Realm with one strike?

Although Xiao Yi was currently at the Peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm and had the confidence to fight an expert at the First Nirvana Realm, the certainty of slaying one in a single strike was not something even Xiao Yi had!

Xiao Tianjiao actually managed to slay a Third Nirvana Realm expert with a single strike, despite having just entered the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

This kind of ability to fight across levels truly shook Xiao Yi, but at the same time, it thoroughly ignited the battle fire within him, burning fiercely as he clenched his fists and muttered, "Xiao Tianjiao, I am really looking forward to meeting you more and more!"

Seeing Xiao Tianjiao's strength, don't you feel despair?" Yang Zheng asked curiously.

Several people turned their gaze towards Xiao Yi.

They all knew of Xiao Yi's identity and had some understanding of the grudge between him and the Xiao Family.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Tianjiao were mortal enemies.

In their eyes, upon learning of Xiao Tianjiao's tremendous strength and terror, Xiao Yi should be feeling despair!

But Xiao Yi's face showed no hint of fear, instead, it was filled with excitement and a burning desire to fight.

Xiao Yi looked at the four of them, smiled, and said, "The stronger he is, the more excited I get!"

"Hmm?"

"What kind of logic is that?"

Everyone was somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Yi smiled and did not answer, but instead asked, "May I ask the three Elders and Your Majesty if it would be possible for me to observe the Iron Winged Chilong and the Dragon and Tiger Seal?"

He currently did not have a clear visualization target.

Both the Iron Winged Chilong and the Dragon and Tiger Seal were the strongest demon beast and the strongest magical weapon that could be found by the Great Qian Dynasty, hence Xiao Yi's request.

"This... The Dragon and Tiger Seal is not a problem, but for the Iron Winged Chilong, we will need its consent; you should return first, and we will notify you after we ask the Iron Winged Chilong," Yang Zun thought for a while but did not directly refuse, and said.

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble the Elders!"

Xiao Yi bowed toward the four and said, "Since the Ancestral Worship Ceremony is not far off, Xiao Yi will take his leave now!"

"Hmm!"

"Go ahead!"

"Don't be careless about the Ancestral Worship Ceremony..." They warned him and watched Xiao Yi leave.

Yang Zheng, still puzzled, said, "Do you think… what the kid just said, what did it really mean?"

Everyone looked at each other, unable to guess.

"Xiao Tianjiao, you've always looked down on me from on high, seeing me as nothing but an ant struggling in the dirt, while you are the dragon soaring above the nine heavens. I wonder, when this ant crushes you, the true dragon, underfoot, what your reaction will be..."

Xiao Yi, who was walking toward the outskirts of the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area, slowly unclenched his fists, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth as his eyes brimmed with a surging battle intent, "I'm looking forward to meeting you more and more!"

...

Imperial Dragon Mountain, Xiaoshanhe Institute.

Seven days after returning to the Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yi was astounded to find that Imperial Dragon Mountain was now a chaotic overcrowded scene.

"I used to think that only the top ten sects and the four great families were the sacred places of martial arts in the Great Qian Dynasty. I never expected the Xiaoshanhe Institute to be so strong too!"

"All of this is thanks to the new Dean Xiao Yi. Without him, the Xiaoshanhe Institute would still be the gathering place for the wretched under Chen Shuiwen's leadership. But Dean Xiao is truly daunting; it's said that he's not even twenty years old, yet he almost used his own power to bring down the Nangong Family!"

"It is said that the current Xiaoshanhe Institute is no weaker than the top ten sects. With a genius powerhouse like Dean Xiao, its future is boundless!"

Amidst the bustling noise,

a long line had formed from the foot of the mountain all the way to the front gate.

An ocean of people.

Gathering into a steel tidal wave winding along the mountain paths, the scene could be described as bustling.

If not for the two sixth-order Beast Kings standing at the entrance, guarding with a menacing gaze and scrutinizing the passersby, it is likely that the crowd would swarm in like a breached flood, rushing into the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

The two Beast Kings stood on either side, emanating a heaven-reaching aura, suppressing everyone before them.

They held their chins high, nostrils to the sky, majestic and imposing, their voices stern and solemn, "If you wish to be admitted into our Xiaoshanhe Institute, line up properly. If anyone dares to cut in line and disturb the order, don't blame us for throwing the troublemakers down the mountain!"

These were the equivalent of Dharma Manifestation Realm sixth-order Beast Kings.

Their prestige was like the heavens.

Naturally, none dared to act rashly.

Of course...

This world is never lacking in self-righteous individuals.

At the foot of the mountain,

a young man with a resolute expression walked among the crowd, who avoided him like the plague, "Isn't that Ruan Yunyi? What is this harbinger of doom doing here?"

"It is said that when he was born, he caused the death of his parents, and he was kicked out of the Ruan Family when he was just a month old. Fortunately, an old woman raised him. But when he turned eighteen, even she died because of him... It's rumored that over the years, he's tried to enter the top ten sects and the four great families, and everyone who participated in the assessments with him died, leading all the major powers to shut him out..."

"I definitely don't want to be near someone like this harbinger of doom..."

Hearing the unreserved remarks of the people around him, Ruan Yunyi clenched his fists tightly, his lips pressed firmly together, not saying a word.

He just kept moving forward.

At Ruan Yunyi's side, Xiao Yun, with white hair and beard, leaned on a cane, reassuring him with a smile, "Yunyi, you don't need to care about what others say. Just be true to yourself!" Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

"Mm!"

Ruan Yunyi forced a small smile.

Xiao Yun had appeared beside him a few days ago, knowing everything about him inside out. Ruan Yunyi had never had friends, and Xiao Yun's arrival quickly made them confidants.

With Xiao Yun's encouragement, they had come to the Xiaoshanhe Institute today.

To participate in the disciple assessment!

"Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, Ruan Yunyi was shoved hard by someone, causing Xiao Yun to also stumble and fall to the ground with him.

Bearing a look of contempt, a handsomely dressed, arrogant young man looked down at the two, his gaze filled with disdain and disgust, "A lowly beggar and an old man with one foot in the grave coming to participate in the Xiaoshanhe Institute assessment? Do you really think the Xiaoshanhe Institute is a refuge for trash? If you know what's good for you, get out before I lose my temper, and don't make a spectacle of yourself here..."

As soon as the words fell,

a calm voice emerged from the crowd, "The one making a spectacle is you!"
