Against The Gods
Chapter 28 – Upheaval Round 7

Xiao Kuangyun was really rude, but within the Xiao Clan, he really deserved to be rude. Not to mention his ear-piercing remark, even if he were to summon the entire Xiao Dog clan, everyone in the Xiao Clan would have to listen obediently. No one would dare to answer. There might even be some who would wag their tails accordingly.

“Before Elder Xiao Zheng died, he remembered the affection for his son and left his last hope. He hopes that we can find the person who has the best talent among the younger generation here to return to the Xiao Sect. “

Xiao Kuangyun took the list that Xiao Yunhai had prepared last night, looked at his surroundings, and then arrogantly said, “Today, I will personally check it out. In a few moments, whoever my name was called came forward and showed profound strength. However, abilities are not decided by the power level of the Profound, but by your foundation and potential! “

“Before I came here, dear father told me to bring Profound Opening Powder. The chosen one would not only be brought back to the Xiao Sect, but would also receive this Profound Opening Powder as a reward! Good medicine can only be enjoyed by people with sufficient talent. It would only be useless if used in the body of the trash! “Saying this, Xiao Kuangyun's gaze tilted towards Xiao Yunhai. “Master Clan, bring Profound Opening Powder. Although this is a gift for the Xiao Clan, you should not have any complaints about giving this to the person who has the best talent as a gift, right? “

No matter how ridiculous Xiao Kuangyun said, Xiao Yunhai still did not dare to protest. However, after hearing his words, Xiao Yunhai's expression suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat erupted on his forehead. He did not move to pick up the Profound Opening Powder, but rather stood there in confusion.

“What happened?” Xiao Kuangyun's expression darkened: “Master Xiao Clan, you don't want to part with Profound Opening Powder?”

“No, no, of course not.” Xiao Yunhai immediately shook his head with a fearful expression: “Only ... only ..”

“What's all?”

With a voice* putong*, Xiao Yunhai immediately knelt down with both hands trembling. He said with a face full of fear: “I .. I deserve to die .. The Profound Opening Powder that Young Master Xiao gave us as a gift, I left it at the Xiao Clan hospital and explained to the people there that they should take care of it. But ... but this morning, the person from the hospital suddenly ran to tell me that the Profound Opening Powder in the Hospital was unexpectedly! “

Hua – The people below are immediately in chaos.

To steal the treasure brought by the Xiao Sect...who has the courage ?!

“Hah?” Xiao Che frowned slightly as there was suspicion appearing in his heart .. Based on the ten-year understanding of Xiao Yunhai, he was a cautious person. Knowing his character, for him to put the treasure that the Xiao Sect had brought in the hospital instead of being brought alone was absurd, who has devoted himself entirely to medicine. He practically had no profound strength, the hospital could be considered the weakest defended area within the Xiao Clan.

Not only that, the Profound Opening Powder was brought by the Xiao Sect. Even if one were to crave it, at the very least they should have waited until the people from the Xiao Sect went to act. Why would they suddenly choose such a dangerous time .. Even if they stole it, would they have the life to use it afterwards?

Xiao Lie's entire body shook. He directly glanced towards Xiao Lingxi, only to find that Xiao Lingxi also had a face full of astonishment. Looking at Xiao Lie who was staring at him, Xiao Lingxi immediately shook her head vigorously to show that she had nothing to do with this. Xiao Lie withdrew his gaze and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

“What ... what !!”

Xiao Kuangyun loudly stood up from his chair as his expression turned dark, his body emitting an infuriating aura. He looked at Xiao Yunhai and said loudly, “You said that ... There is actually someone who will steal the Profound Opening Powder?”

“This humble servant cannot protect her. I ask Young Master Xiao to give a punishment. “Xiao Yunhai lowered his head, a look of shame and fear all over his face.

“This is ridiculous!” Xiao Kuangyun loudly took a breath and his chest lifted. His wrinkle became increasingly dark; he was apparently very angry: “Someone actually dared to steal our gift for the Xiao Clan. Goody! Very nice! I really underestimated this Floating Cloud City! You all are actually ... brave enough! “

The anger and killing intent of Xiao Kuangyun had continued into almost the entire Xiao Clan. This caused everyone to shiver and their hearts jerked. They did not even dare to breathe loudly and were unable to cope with their panic, their heads bowed low for fear that Xiao Kuangyun would see them.

Xiao Che half closed his eyes, his gaze directly staring into Xiao Kuangyun's eyes. A while later, he stabbed Xiao Lie and asked in a small voice: “Grandfather, the clan master did not offend Xiao Kuangyun yesterday, right?”

Xiao Lie was startled, then shook his head: “Xiao Yunhai was always wise. He shouldn't have gone that far. “

“Then it's weird.” Xiao Che rubbed his chin and then said slowly, These “ Xiao Kuangyun anger are completely fake. If the clan master had offended him and he had planned to steal it himself and then blame the clan master, then it would make sense. If that's not the case ... don't say this Xiao Kuangyun is playing a monkey show himself? “

“... Keep your mouth.” Xiao Lie did not understand the meaning of his words and secretly warned him.

Xiao Kuangyun's eyes became cynical and his expression darkened: “Yesterday, when I took out the Profound Opening Powder, there were only members of the Xiao Clan. I don't think that you Xiao Clan people would be foolish enough to let the fact that you guys have obtained a high-grade medicine spread to the ears of an outsider. Moreover, the defensive capabilities of the Xiao Clan could not be considered weak in Floating Cloud City. If one wanted to break it, it wouldn't be easy .. In that case, the thief must be from the Xiao Clan! “

Xiao Kuangyun's words caused the expressions of all the members of the Xiao Clan to change. The sound of whispers is getting louder. Xiao Yunhai also quickly nodded: “True! Young Master Xiao saw clearly. After I knew the Profound Opening Powder had been stolen, I also thought that it was stolen by someone from our Xiao Clan. Xiao Gu who was in the hospital was almost sixty years old and did not care about worldly affairs. He had absolutely no desire for the Profound Opening Powder, so it shouldn't be him who stole it. Everyone should be viewed with suspicion. “

“Hmph! The insignificant Xiao Clan is not worth mentioning in our Xiao Sect! Any lowly person from our Xiao Sect can directly wipe out your entire clan! This time, we came and ventured thousands of li into the Xiao Clan. It gave you great favors and was a great kindness .. But you gave me a big surprise instead! This is a slap to the face of our Xiao Sect! “

A slap to the face of the Xiao Sect ..This strange accusation made Xiao Yunhai's face immediately turn pale.

Xiao Kuangyun's eyes were like a poisonous snake, sweeping from one face to the other. Everyone was touched by his gaze looking down like he was trying to avoid being struck by lightning. No one dared to stare at his face .. However, this did not at all mean that Xiao Kuangyun's eyes had completely penetrated or that his aura was so fierce. It was only because he was supported by the enormous Xiao Sect.

In the two precious memories of Xiao Che's life, especially those from life in the Azure Cloud Continent, he had experienced many good and evil things and crossed the line between life and death several times. The number of people he met was even more innumerable, from the most ordinary people all the way to the rulers of the world. Even practitioners who were hundreds of years old certainly could not compare to the sharpness seen by his eyes.

Xiao Kuangyun once again swept his gaze. His tone suddenly became light: “Forget it, although it was truly regrettable, I couldn't be bothered to be annoyed with the people from this small place. The one who stole the Profound Opening Powder, I will give fifteen seconds to obediently come out and hand over the Profound Opening Powder. I might show mercy for the first offense! If you continue to be stubborn, then don't blame me for being impolite. “

“Xiao Ba, start counting!”

After Xiao Kuangyun finished speaking, he let out a cold snort and sat back down in his chair. The black-clothed man on his left stepped forward and started the countdown in a low voice.

Xiao Yunhai immediately turned around and said in a loud voice: “Hama who stole the Profound Opening Powder, did you hear it ?! Young Master Xiao was generously tolerant of giving way. Admit your actions quickly and apologize! Otherwise, not to mention Young Master Xiao, the entire Xiao Clan will never forgive you !! “

“.... Twelve .. eleven ... ten .... nine ...” The black-clothed man called Xiao Ba keeps counting down.

Everyone in the Xiao Clan turned to look around them, one after another guessing who was careless enough to dare to steal something that the Xiao Sect had brought. Although Xiao Kuangyun's mouth had uttered “rahmat”, from his expression no one believed that they would get his “rahmat “ after voluntarily admitting his mistake.

“.... Four ... three ... two ... one .... time out!”

Xiao Ba's voice came down, and he stepped back. Xiao Kuangyun once again stood up, his gaze dark and cruel as he sneered, “I've given you a chance. Since you don't know a good thing when you see it, don't blame me because I'm ruthless after catching you! Xiao Jiu's! “

“Ya!”

After Xiao Kuangyun shouted, a black-clothed man stepped forward and then directly raised his palm. Whirlpools with profound strength began to condense on his palm.

“Master Clan Xiao, Profound Opening Powder was stolen with that black box right?”

“Yes, they were stolen with the box.” Xiao Yunhai nodded. His face showed a suspicious expression, as if he did not understand why he was asking this question.

“That's great... In the black box containing the Profound Opening Powder there is a unique power mark of our Xiao Sect, Eagle Sign! As long as we use the unique strength of the Xiao Sect, we can quickly determine the whereabouts of every eagle sign around it. “

As soon as Xiao Kungyun finished speaking, Xiao Jiu's hand suddenly dropped and said “ada there”. His body then turned into a storm as he dashed towards his right like lightning. His speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye he disappeared from everyone's sight.

“Chuckle *, looks like we've found it.” Xiao Kuangyun grinned, a deep sense of self-satisfaction flashing in the depths of his eyes.

“Great. As expected of the Xiao Sect, not a single drop of water could leak. “The face of Xiao Yunhai also revealed a happy expression, which then darkened once again. He solemnly said: “Young Master Xiao, the nature of this matter is too heinous. This not only triggered the anger of Young Master Xiao, but also caused the Xiao Clan to lose a bit of face. So no matter who the thief was, even if it was my son, Young Master Xiao would not have to worry. You must punish them severely !! “

“Hmph! Sure oes. No one who has underestimated my Xiao Sect is meeting a good ending! “

At this moment, a strong gust of wind blew fiercely. Xiao Jiu had already rushed back, his hand holding a wooden box. The eagle mark on the wooden box still emitted a ray. This wooden box was really the box that contained the Profound Opening Powder that Xiao Kuangyun gave to Xiao Yunhai yesterday.

“Young master, I found him.” Xiao Jiu handed the wooden box into Xiao Kuangyun's grasp and then stepped back silently.

All whispers stopped. The surroundings became quiet so that even fallen needles could be heard. The atmosphere turned completely cold. Everyone widened their eyes and held their breaths, waiting to see who had enough courage to dare to steal the Profound Opening Powder.

“Xiao Jiu, where did you find this box?” Xiao Kuangyun asked while sneering.

“6th page, under the pillow of its owner.” Xiao Jiu clearly replied with an expressionless face.

Page 66 …

Everyone's gazes converged in one direction at once, disbelievingly staring at the girl who looked like she was terrified.

After hearing the words “page 66”, Xiao Lingxi was stunned on the spot. Seeing the eyes of the people turning towards her, she stepped back and hysterically shook her head, crying involuntarily: “Not me... not me!”
