The Huoyan World is much more prosperous than the ordinary cultivation world. After all, this is the Xiao family's home nest, and the Huoyan City where the Xiao family is located is the most prosperous city in the Huoyan World.
"That is to say, Huoyan City is the Xiao family's old nest, otherwise it would not be so peaceful." After strolling around the city, Yang Qi found that Huoyan City seemed to be not much different from the cities in the endless universe. However, he knew that this was just his illusion. Huoyan City was so peaceful because the Xiao family was in charge.
However, those cultivation worlds in the Chaos Star Region that are not ruled by powerful forces, or those cultivation worlds ruled by the lairs of large forces, are far less stable than Huoyan City.
“I’ve heard that the Chaos Star Domain is in chaos, but I didn’t expect that Huoyan City is so orderly and prosperous.” Yang Qi said with emotion.
Xiao Qian, who was standing by, had a hint of pride on his face when he heard this, and then he spoke, "Back then, our Xiao family was just an ordinary Martial Emperor-level cultivation family in the nearby star field, and was often bullied by other cultivation forces. But later, a Martial Emperor was born in the Xiao family. That Martial Emperor not only made our Xiao family take a step forward, but also established family rules for our Xiao family, asking us to treat the cultivators under our command well."
“Although our Xiao family is not the strongest among the nearby star field cultivation forces, the cultivation world near the Huoyan World has the strongest sense of belonging to the Xiao family.”
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but nodded. He had no doubt about this. Otherwise, the Xiao family would not have such a great reputation in the nearby star field.
After all, for those weak creatures, a stable environment for cultivation is what they most urgently need, and the territory controlled by the Xiao family has achieved this, at least in the cultivation world near the Fire Rock World.
"Brother Yang, the banquet will start in a few hours, let's go back first." Xiao Qian looked at Yang Qi and said.
"Okay!"
Yang Qi nodded, and immediately went back to the Xiao family with Xiao Qian to prepare for the next banquet.
Not long after the two of them returned to the Xiao family, Xiao Qian suddenly said, "Brother Yang, I'm sorry, the family has called an emergency meeting, so I'm afraid the banquet will have to be postponed."
Emergency meeting
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, but then he expressed his understanding. After all, when a family holds an emergency meeting, it often means something big is happening, which is naturally more important than a banquet.
After several hours, the banquet time had passed, but Xiao Qian had not returned yet. It was not until more than two hours after the banquet that Xiao Qian came to the courtyard where Yang Qi lived again.
Xiao Qian had a solemn look on his face, but he forced a smile and said to Yang Qi, "Brother Yang, the patriarch wants to see you."
“It seems that something big happened to the Xiao family.”
The solemn look on Xiao Qian's face did not escape Yang Qi's eyes. After realizing this, an idea flashed through Yang Qi's mind.
However, what happened in the Xiao family might involve the family's secrets, so Yang Qi didn't dare to ask further questions. He could only pretend that he had not noticed anything and then came to the banquet under the leadership of Xiao Qian.
As soon as he arrived at the banquet venue, Yang Qi discovered that there were two people in the entire banquet hall. One was Xiao Yue, whom he had met before, and the other was a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level. If nothing unexpected happened, this person was the head of this generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Ning!
"My name is Yang Qi, nice to meet the head of the Xiao family!" Yang Qi bowed slightly towards the cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning quickly said, "Brother Yang, there is no need to be so polite."
Yang Qi saved Xiao Qian and others' lives. If not for something big happening in the family, there would definitely not be just him and Xiao Yue at the banquet today. However, even though something happened in the family, Xiao Ning still didn't forget Yang Qi's kindness to Xiao Qian and others, which is quite rare.
"I was originally planning to treat Brother Yang to a grand banquet, but now something has happened in the family, so we have to keep everything simple. I hope Brother Yang won't mind." Xiao Ning said with a hint of apology.
"I understand."
Yang Qi nodded. He was a little surprised that Xiao Ning did not cancel the banquet, and he understood it quite well.
Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, and even Xiao Ning immediately took the initiative to thank Yang Qi for saving Xiao Qian and the others. They also drank a lot, but Xiao Ning and the other two were obviously a little distracted. After all, something happened to the family, and they must have other things in their minds. How could they completely relax
"This time, we are hosting a banquet for Brother Yang, not only to thank him for saving Xiao Qian and others, but also to say goodbye to him." Xiao Ning looked at Yang Qi and said.
Say goodbye
Yang Qi was stunned. It was Xiao Yue who invited him to the Xiao family before, but now Xiao Ning said goodbye to him, obviously asking him to leave the Xiao family. Taking the initiative to drive the guests away was obviously inappropriate no matter where they were.
"Is it related to the troubles encountered by the Xiao family?" A thought flashed through Yang Qi's mind.
The Xiao family is obviously not an ungrateful family, otherwise Xiao Yue would not have taken the initiative to invite him to the Xiao family as a guest, and Xiao Ning would not have taken the initiative to say that he would invite him to a banquet before, but now Xiao Ning is taking the initiative to drive him away.
There is only one possibility in this situation, that is, if Yang Qi continues to stay in the Xiao family, he will be in danger. Xiao Ning can only drive him away to prevent Yang Qi from being implicated by the Xiao family. This can also explain why Xiao Ning would take the initiative to drive him away!
In the past, Yang Qi only knew about the Xiao family from other practitioners. However, after seeing and hearing these two days in Huoyan City and getting along with Xiao Qian, Yang Qi truly felt that the strength of the Xiao family was completely different from that of the Xieyun Sect, and his favorable impression of the Xiao family increased a lot.
Now that the Xiao family is in trouble, and even their own nest may be in danger, Yang Qi naturally cannot sit idly by!
"Brother Xiao, I wonder what kind of trouble the Xiao family has encountered?" Yang Qi looked at Xiao Ning and said.
After hearing this, Xiao Ning fell silent. After a moment, he said, "Since Brother Yang asked, I will tell you the truth."
"Earlier, Xiao Qian and others discovered that the Xieyun Sect was capturing powerful creatures, so we conducted an in-depth investigation and found that the Xieyun Sect seemed to be using these captured creatures to help their leader break through the Martial Emperor realm, and now the Xieyun Sect has stopped the captures." Xiao Ning said in a deep voice.
Stopped the arrests
Yang Qi's face changed slightly. The Xieyun Cult stopped capturing powerful creatures, not because this action was exposed or their plan was exposed, so they suddenly stopped, but because they no longer needed to continue capturing powerful creatures.
In other words, either the leader of the Xieyun Sect has broken through to the Martial Emperor realm, or they have already collected the things they need to collect and no longer need to capture powerful creatures to collect them. Whatever the case, it is not good news for the Xiao family.
The reason why the nearby star fields can maintain relative stability is that the strength of the cultivation forces in the nearby star fields is similar. Once the Xieyun Sect gives birth to a strong man at the Martial Emperor level, this balance will inevitably be broken. According to the style of the Xieyun Sect, it is likely that they will directly unify the nearby star fields by force at that time. The fate of the Xiao family can be imagined! (To be continued)
