Chapter 574 Revisiting old matters
After the Gu family's hearse arrived in Chaoyang City, the Xue family and the Li family followed.
Xie Qianjue, with his gang of lackeys, roamed around Chaoyang City with impunity, frequently visiting various mansions to chat with the heads of families about their troubles.
Soon, the whole world knew that Xie Yuanchen and his son were planning to assassinate him.
The four family heads had had enough of the Xie family's foolishness.
Jiuhuang was the last to know.
"Ancestor, it wasn't me, I didn't, I really didn't!"
Xie Yuanchen stood before Jiuhuang, his forehead covered in cold sweat, completely unaware of how the news had been leaked.
Could it be that Xie Yinglu, that despicable woman, spread the word?
His expression was fierce, as if he wanted to tear Xie Yinglu and her father to pieces to vent his anger.
Jiuhuang stared at him coldly: "You're too stupid."
"I didn't tell you Xie Qianjue's background because I was afraid you would ruin things."
"I never thought you could cause trouble even though you know nothing."
Xie Yuanchen trembled and knelt down with a thud: "Ancestor, I really don't know, please give me another chance."
Jiuhuang: "Xie Qianjue's origins are unknown. You fool, you have held the position of family head for so many years without ever considering that he is a descendant of the Xie family who went to the outer realms back then?"
Xie Yuanchen's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Does the Ancestor mean that Xie Qianjue is from another region?"
"Ah! That treasure!! The Sun and Moon Shuttle!!"
"He must have used the Sun and Moon Shuttle to return to the Celestial Spirit Realm!"
"But why didn't he say so?"
Jiuhuang glanced at Xie Yuanchen with disgust: "I was just pretending to be friendly with him because I wanted to find out about the Sun and Moon Shuttle."
"Although he is of Xie family blood, he has been in the outer realms for many years, and no one knows his situation."
"Just from the fact that he's hiding something, you can tell that his heart is no longer with the Xie family."
“I can tell you clearly that he is blessed with great fortune and has the approval of the Dragon Pendant. Given time, he will definitely awaken his talent.”
"Don't get any more ideas."
"The development of the flying shuttle has failed over the years."
"Only by finding the Sun and Moon Shuttle can we restore the glory of the Xie family."
"I summoned the other four families here today because I wanted to spread the news about the Sun and Moon Shuttle first, and restore the status of my Xie family. After we find the Sun and Moon Shuttle, I will personally lead a team to the other three regions to avenge our clansmen who died tragically abroad back then."
When they suffered a crushing defeat, they were unaware of the devastation in the outer regions, but overnight, most of the soul lamps of the clan's most outstanding members in the ancestral hall went out.
He will never forget the ceaseless wailing and weeping of his people.
Xie Yuanchen stared blankly, mouth agape. He hadn't expected the truth to be like this.
He said timidly, "Ancestor, our Xie family is now living peacefully in Chaoyang City, and I'm afraid the clansmen won't support us..."
Jiuhuang sneered and slapped Xie Yuanchen away: "As expected of a piece of trash. Do I need your support?"
"Back then, my great cause was not accomplished, and my path to ascension was also thwarted. I will make those foreigners pay for their blood debts."
His voice was cold and sinister, causing Xie Yuanchen, who had fallen to the ground, to spit out a mouthful of turbid blood, which he then swallowed hard.
"Yes."
A flash of light appeared on the dragon pendant in the mist, transmitting the conversation it had overheard to Xie Qianjue word for word.
Xie Qianjue thought to himself, "As expected, even if they don't come to the Heavenly Spirit Domain, the Nine Desolations will still come looking for them."
He drank the wine in his cup and tried to get the message to Yun Yici and the others.
......
The night before the apprenticeship ceremony, Xie Qianjue was forced to take a bath for three hours.
After washing and cleaning up, Xie Qianjue felt like he had shed a layer of skin.
He hasn't bathed in at least a hundred years. With all the dust-removing techniques available, who would still need to take a bath?
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that his storage bag and other belongings had been "packed up" by the Xie family.
Instead, she wore an exquisite and gorgeous black robe.
"Tsk, tsk."
As dawn broke, Xie Qianjue shook out his long robe with a "whoosh" sound.
"It fits."
He refused the beautiful maid who wanted to serve him, changed his clothes in front of the mirror, and styled his hair.
The mirror reflected the young man's spirited face.
Xie Qianjue raised his hand to cover his eyes and whispered, "Hey, if there's anything I should have seen beforehand, let me see it quickly, otherwise it'll be useless if I die later."
He blinked, waited a moment, and the mirror in front of him still showed his reflection.
Saw nothing.
Xie Qianjue's fingertips trembled slightly as he muttered, "What a pity, my dice cup has been taken away."
A maid's gentle voice came from outside: "Is the young master alright? Would you like me to come in and serve you?"
The tightly closed door creaked open from the inside, and a handsome and extraordinary swordsman walked out of the room.
"Okay, let's go."
The swordsman's curved peach blossom eyes made the maid blush.
Oh dear, who exactly said their young master is unreliable?
As Xie Qianjue stepped out of the courtyard, a cold, menacing guard silently appeared behind him: "Young Master, please follow me."
Today's apprenticeship ceremony is not held at the ancestral hall, but in the center of the square in Chaoyang City.
He will become Jiuhuang's disciple in the presence of the five family heads and all the elders of the Xie family.
The fragments of the dragon pendant were also taken away, and he lost all channels of communication with the golden dragon.
Xie Qianjue's eyes crinkled with laughter, and he never hesitated to smile at anyone.
The square in Chaoyang City was filled with joyous celebration as the people of Chaoyang City happily welcomed their young master.
These days, Xie Qianjue has been wandering around the city, and what's rare is that he is never arrogant and is very kind to everyone.
They all liked this approachable young master very much.
On the high platform, Jiu Huang sat at the head of the table, waiting, while Xie Yuanchen stood beside him, head bowed, not daring to speak.
The other four family heads sat on either side, watching Xie Qianjue walk onto the high platform.
Each of them was accompanied by a bodyguard carrying prepared congratulatory gifts.
Xie Qianjue walked steadily up the platform and first bowed to Jiuhuang: "Greetings, Senior Jiuhuang."
"Greetings to all the clan heads."
Jiuhuang gave a strange laugh: "Should I still call you senior? You should call me master."
He waved his hand, signaling Xie Yuanchen beside him to present the congratulatory gift.
It is a sword.
"This was forged from the extinguished soul lamps of my Xie family's sons who perished in the outer realms."
Upon hearing this, the heads of the Xiao, Xue, Gu, and Li families immediately changed color.
"Senior Jiuhuang, what is the meaning of this?"
Back then, when they were growing and expanding in the Heavenly Spirit Domain, the Xie family had the Sun and Moon Shuttle and a talent for foresight, so they volunteered to lead the Xie family to explore the outer regions to investigate the truth.
Their first destination was the Yellow Spirit Domain, where the forces were weak and easily defeated.
They quickly occupied Huangling Domain, forcing its forces to submit.
Because the Xue family and the Xie family were close, the Xue family took over the territory they had acquired first.
Huang Lingyu's victory filled them with joy and hope for the future.
They regrouped and set off once again for the next spiritual realm.
After that, the elites sent by the five major families, along with the Sun and Moon Shuttle, were all left in the outer realm.
