Chapter 533 - End of the Yu Family’s Affair

Upon hearing Xiao Cheng’s words, Luo Qiufang’s expression instantly turned furious. There was also a trace of panic that she wasn’t even aware of. She originally wanted to curse loudly, but for some reason, she couldn’t help looking at her husband, Yu Qing.

As for Yu Qing, his complexion was ashen. It looked like he was in a towering rage, but there was hesitation in his eyes.

Unexpectedly — There was hesitancy?

Luo Qiufang’s heart gave a sudden lurch.

Fortunately, in the next moment, Yu Qing spoke with a face full of anguish: “Cheng’er, when all is said and done, Qiufang is your mother. Ze’er is also your younger brother. Do you really want to go so far as to separate our family?”

The ridicule on Xiao Cheng’s face became even more apparent: “Head of the Yu Family, do you still want to be shameless when you say this? Mother? Younger brother? Family? I have said so much before, but you’re still trying to pretend that everything is well and good. Your shamelessness really makes me feel inferior.”

Yu Qing’s face trembled: “Cheng’er, is there no third path? Our Yu Family is willing to pay the price. Properly, goods and supplies, natural resources — You can make the proposal. Everything can be discussed.”

Luo Qiufang’s expression suddenly became gentle and soft, and the gleam in her eyes was so sweet and charming that they seemed to drip with tears, filled with a deep love for Yu Qing. She just felt that all those years scheming for Yu Qing were worth it.

However, Xiao Cheng said: “Impossible! There are only two paths. Yu Family Head, make your choice!”

Yu Qing couldn’t help but take a quick glance at the figure of noble bearing in the sky. Then, he loudly said: “I don’t know which young master this is, but is it possible for us to meet?”

It seemed he felt it was difficult to get through to Xiao Cheng and wanted to find another way. In his heart, he knew very well that the reason why Xiao Cheng was able to compel the Yu Family at this moment was not because of himself. Rather, the armored martial artists who filled the sky were due to the young master who had never revealed his true face!

The Yu Family was a small family in Ten Ultimates City, and it was able to safely survive to this day. Naturally, the Yu Family tried its best to learn as much as possible about Ten Ultimates Sect, the biggest player in this city.

Therefore, Yu Qing easily recognized that these armored martial artists had different shapes. Basically, they were non-human battle slaves. And for anyone capable of possessing this many battle slaves, their position in Ten Ultimates Sect certainly wasn’t low!

Either he was a prodigy — When such a young man joined Ten Ultimates Sect, he would be given a large number of battle slaves in advance to win him over.

Or he was one of those geniuses who had been in business for a long time — The number of battle slaves they received in the beginning was small, but as their strength improved and their contributions to the sect increased, they would receive more battle slaves, too.

No matter which one it was, they were not to be trifled with.

Yu Qing wanted to know who this personage was and how great the other party’s capabilities were.

Indeed, with a thousand-plus battle slaves present, it was incredibly terrifying. Otherwise, his Yu Family wouldn’t have been so polite as to let things go like this. However, if several old ancestors came out, they wouldn’t necessarily be unable to fight back.

It was just that, while his Yu Family had old ancestors here, the other party could casually take out more than a thousand battle slaves. How could this personage only have this much power in hand? Though, he was just taking chances and asking questions out of reluctance.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng spoke in a cold voice: “What kind of thing is your Yu Family? How is it worthy to pay respects to the young master?”

Yu Qing’s complexion sank.

After Xiao Cheng’s mockery, he looked to the young man beside him with a deferential appearance, as though he had an inquiry.

The young man nodded slightly.

Xiao Cheng said to Yu Qing: “Cease your struggle. The young master’s surname is Gongyi. He is Ten Ultimates Sect’s all-star prodigy. Are you still unconvinced?”

Right away, Yu Qing turned deathly pale.

All-star prodigy… Gongyi…

This person’s famous name was like thunder piercing the ears. In the past few years, this was the younger generation who absolutely couldn’t be ignored in Ten Ultimates Sect.

He heard that Gongyi Tianheng came from the Peripheral Continents. His innate skills were outstanding, and within a brief two to three years, his strength also advanced to the Ascendant Realm. Between similar realms, he took action several times, but he was unrivaled and without equal.

Although the number of times this Gongyi Tianheng truly appeared in front of people wasn’t many, every time he showed up, what he accomplished couldn’t be underestimated. Not to mention other things, but during the competition for the qi veins, he subdued his peers in all directions by himself. While he was besieged by several prodigies, he didn’t lose. He also captured a large quantity of qi veins for Ten Ultimates Sect, making enormous contributions.

Furthermore, he participated in the battles of the Prodigy Monument. In the beginning, he sent an incarnation and won first place in the Atomic Realm. Later on, his real body hurried over, swept across all sides, and rushed straight to the top among the Ascendant Realm. In the end, he ranked first place on the Prodigy Monument, practically a suppression for all time!

This kind of personage had actually become Xiao Cheng’s backer?

Yu Qing was extremely flustered.

If he had known earlier that Xiao Cheng was following this all-star prodigy, how could he have dared to keep making small moves in secret?

Under the Sect Offering Academy’s rules, Yu Ze took advantage of the loopholes and caused trouble. When all was said and done, the Sect Offering Academy was not an educational establishment meant for one person. Inevitably, there would be times of neglect and carelessness. Whatever they did under normal circumstances, the academy wouldn’t necessarily do anything on Xiao Cheng’s behalf.

While Xiao Cheng followed a prodigy, for the time being, this prodigy’s capabilities naturally couldn’t compare to that of the Sect Offering Academy. However, so long as he paid attention to Xiao Cheng, no matter what the Yu Family wanted to do, they wouldn’t be able to achieve it easily.

Obviously, after Luo Qiufang heard the identity of Gongyi Tianheng, all the sweetness and peace of mind went up in smoke. Her lips were a little pallid and her eyelids trembled slightly. It wasn’t known what she was thinking.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng’s hateful voice resounded again: “Yu Family Head, what are you still hesitating about? People who practice martial arts have long lifespans. Currently, you have a lifespan of five hundred years, and you still have a hundred-something years left to use. You’re still very young.

“Over the last years, Missus Luo has only given birth to one son for you. Even if this one wife and one son have passed away, you can find another wife and several concubines. With some proper plowing and weeding, don’t tell me you’re afraid that you won’t be able to produce an heir?

“On the contrary, passing down the Yu Family’s inheritance isn’t easy. If you are eliminated, how could you be worthy of your past generations of ancestors? Besides, no matter how beautiful Missus Luo is, you should be tired of looking at her over the years. What’s more, she truly is a jealous and petty woman. She’s not upright and righteous. Instead, she’s envious of the able and virtuous, plotting and killing for wealth and riches…”

Speaking up to here, his voice was suddenly filled with temptation: “It’s not like the Yu Family Head has never done anything like conspiring to kill his wife and child before, so why should you hesitate now?”

When Luo Qiufang heard what Xiao Cheng said, she naturally couldn’t restrain her anger and wanted to shed all pretenses with him without a worry for anything else. But right away, she couldn’t care less about such emotions. This was because Xiao Cheng casually tossed away Yu Ze, whose neck had been squeezed to the point that his air supply was cut off, throwing him to the front of Luo Qiufang.

She hurriedly gathered Yu Ze into her arms, and saw him urgently coughing and gasping for breath. His complexion was incomparably frightened, and the expression in his eyes contained endless resentment and grievance. At once, she was heartbroken, and promptly consoled her son. She took out countless effective cures and miracle medicines, wanting to treat him.

At this moment, an aged voice spread out from the Yu Manor: “Qing’er, as the family head, what are you still hesitating about? Why don’t you quickly agree?”

Yu Qing was jolted with a start: “Third ancestor!”

Then, several other voices that were similarly weathered rang out in succession:

“It’s not easy for my Yu Family to survive, but we can’t become enemies with a prodigy because of one poisonous woman!”

“A strong warrior becomes a grand hero only when his wrist is cut off!”

“Qing’er, those who accomplish great things are never restrained by petty squabbles!”

“It’s just one woman. Renounce her immediately. Our Yu Family must shed its tail to seek survival!”

These voices resounded in Yu Qing’s ears.

Off to the side, Luo Qiufang tightly hugged Yu Ze with an ashen face.

She pinned all of her reputation on Yu Qing. Her temperament was indeed sinister, but she actually didn’t have much means. If Yu Qing gave up on her, she wouldn’t have any bargaining chips whatsoever!

Luo Qiufang looked at Yu Qing with pleading eyes.

However, this time, Yu Qing avoided her gaze. In the end, after his face twitched violently, he slowly nodded towards Xiao Cheng.

Luo Qiufang’s expression immediately fell into despair.

Yu Ze’s face was filled with tears. His trembling voice was laced with fear and dread: “This isn’t real! This isn’t real! Father wouldn’t give up on me and mother — I am the Yu Family’s young lord! The only future heir!”

Seeing their disgraceful situation, Xiao Cheng only felt a wave of disgust, but he still said: “Yu Family Head, it seems that you have made a decision?”

Yu Qing’s face was full of sorrow and grief. He lowered his head to Xiao Cheng: “I…agree to your terms.”

Once these words fell from his lips, Luo Qiufang jumped up almost instantly. She carried her son in her arms and frantically ran away in the other direction.

She opened her mouth, yelling and cursing: “Xiao Cheng, you won’t have a good death! Yu Qing, you hypocrite, you’re harming your wife and son! You won’t have a good death either! None of you in the Yu Family will have good deaths!”

A husband and wife, who had been loving and affectionate for many years and shared countless secrets, turned against each other under the slightest threat. The husband, a cowardly good-for-nothing, actually abandoned his wife and child. How shameful.

Xiao Cheng silently watched this scene, feeling as though his heart was as heavy as water and as cold as ice.

— This was a husband and wife?

Yu Qing, this person, was really a scumbag.

Of course, Xiao Cheng wouldn’t sympathize with Luo Qiufang. This woman had brought disaster and death upon herself. She was a sworn enemy, and they couldn’t live under the same sky. Now, the more hopeless and hard-pressed Luo Qiufang became, the more he felt his mother’s grievances leaving him with each exhale.

As a result, Xiao Cheng softly said: “Yu Family Head, this wife of yours has quite the upbringing. She has only figured it out at the moment of life and death, but she didn’t take you into consideration at all.”

After Yu Qing was verbally abused by Luo Qiufang, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation.

In fact, he didn’t need Xiao Cheng to remind him. He was already taking action in a fury. A palm struck the mere Immortal Realm Luo Qiufang to death! Following that, his second palm was similarly thrown out. Yu Ze, who was still at the Xiantian Realm, naturally could do nothing but perish…

Back then, Yu Qing harmed Xiao Cheng and his mother because of this pair of mother and child. And now, under Xiao Cheng’s threat, this pair of mother and child finally lost their lives in the hands of this fickle and wicked man.

One couldn’t help but say: This was also karmic retribution.

When Xiao Cheng saw that Yu Qing had actually killed the two, the joy of vengeance in his heart unexpectedly diminished greatly.

Yu Qing glanced at the two corpses with an unbearable look on his face. Soon after, he quickly raised his head and said: “This Yu…has committed such a cold and ruthless thing. Ladies and gentlemen, please leave this place and write off the past with a single stroke!”

Xiao Cheng also didn’t want to look at him anymore, and respectfully saluted the young master he followed, Gongyi Tianheng: “Young master, it is done.”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head.

Shortly thereafter, Xiao Cheng said his last words to everyone in the Yu Family: “Those who commit acts of injustice will be punished with their own deaths. From now on, this Xiao won’t have anything to do with the Yu Family. Your Yu Family should take care of yourselves. Don’t make any more mistakes!”

After that, the Yu Family members realized that the seal over the ancestral residence had disappeared. The thousand-plus battle slaves who surrounded the manor’s gates also rapidly withdrew like the tide…
