Over the course of several days, the Yutian Boat carrying Lin Xiao had already traversed countless miles and had now entered the territory of the Zi Family.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
While passing through a certain region, bursts of rumbling explosions suddenly reached Lin Xiao’s ears, and in the distant front, patches of brilliant light suddenly flared up.
“There is fighting ahead, let’s go and see.” Lin Xiao immediately said.
The elder controlling the Yutian Boat understood, slowed down the speed, and flew towards the location of the battle ahead.
Soon, a city of considerable size appeared in Lin Xiao’s line of sight, with a plaque on the city walls reading Zi Family City No. 19.
Around the front of the city, up and down, there were thirty or forty people engaged in battle, each with a cultivation at the Martial Monarch realm, including first and second level Martial Monarchs as well as ninth level Martial Monarch powerhouses.
Among them, the most intense fighting in the high sky was between the ninth level Martial Monarch powerhouses, one of whom Lin Xiao recognised, it was the Zi Family’s ninth level Martial Monarch, Elder Zi Mo, who had once assisted him.
At this moment, Zi Mo was being besieged by three unfamiliar ninth level Martial Monarch powerhouses, retreating repeatedly, his body covered in bloodstains.
“Stop!” Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao immediately shouted loudly towards the sky.
Hearing this, the people in the battle all turned their gazes towards them.
Seeing that on the Yutian Boat there were ten people standing, the group could not help but be stunned.
Those eight elders and one youth, they had never seen before, but upon recognising Lin Xiao’s face, the group’s pupils all contracted: “Lin Xiao!”
Lin Xiao’s name had spread throughout the entire Southeast Domain, even if they had not personally witnessed Lin Xiao’s battle at the Lingjian Sect, Lin Xiao’s portrait had spread through every street and alley.
At first glance, they recognised Lin Xiao’s face.
At this point, the group all stopped fighting.
All gazes were now fixed on this Yutian Boat.
“People from the Gunlong Sect.” Zi Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, being besieged by three ninth level Martial Monarchs, it was hard for him to escape, now with Lin Xiao and the ten people from the Gunlong Sect arriving, this crisis could be resolved.
The other Zi Family members also secretly breathed sighs of relief in their hearts.
“Elder Zi Mo, are you alright?” Lin Xiao asked Zi Mo.
The three ninth level Martial Monarch elders besieging Zi Mo all frowned, Lin Xiao actually thought Zi Mo was fine.
“No major issues yet.” Zi Mo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, although he said this, his injuries were not light.
“Lin Xiao, this is a matter between us and the Zi Family, please do not interfere.” At this moment, a ninth level Martial Monarch elder said to Lin Xiao with an ugly expression.
Lin Xiao’s gaze turned to the elder who had spoken, and he asked indifferently: “Who are you people?”
“We are from the Wen Family.” That ninth level Martial Monarch elder’s voice sank slightly as he responded.
“Luo Family.” Another ninth level Martial Monarch elder also said.
“Yin Family.” The elder with a sinister and pale face said in a hoarse voice.
It was clear that the three were intimidating Lin Xiao, they came from three great families, not a single force.
However, Lin Xiao’s expression turned cold, and he threatened the few: “This matter, we are getting involved, if you do not want to die, all get lost!”
The people from the three families all became furious, but the elder from the Yin Family immediately transmitted a message to the group: “Those people are all ninth level Martial Monarch powerhouses, I cannot see through several of them, let’s go!”
Hearing this, the expressions of the group all changed uniformly.
All ninth level Martial Monarch powerhouses, apart from two youths, there were eight ninth level Martial Monarch powerhouses, plus Lin Xiao who also possessed the combat power of a ninth level Martial Monarch, how could they possibly be opponents?
If they stayed, they would probably truly perish here.
“Go!” The ninth level Martial Monarch from the Luo Family and the ninth level Martial Monarch from the Wen Family immediately ordered.
As soon as the words were spoken, the group fled desperately towards the horizon.
Zi Mo’s body moved, wanting to pursue, but due to his injuries, he stopped again, wanting to say something, but held back, in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
In fact, he wanted the people from the Gunlong Sect to capture or even kill all the forces from the three families.
However, after all, they were outsiders, for them to assist and allow them to escape the trap was already a great kindness, to ask the other side to kill three ninth level Martial Monarchs would be excessive.
Seeing Zi Mo’s expression, Lin Xiao frowned slightly, it seemed this matter was not so simple.
But since they had already let them go, pursuing now would probably be too late anyway, so he had to let it be.
“Elder Zi Mo, what is the situation with the Zi Family now?” After calming down, Lin Xiao could not help but ask.
“Very bad.” Zi Mo shook his head, his face showing deep concern: “The Yin Family, Luo Family, and Wen Family have joined forces, a large number of experts from the three great families have already approached the Zi Family headquarters, preparing to launch a total assault, the Zi Family’s forces have basically withdrawn back to the headquarters.”
“However, some Zi Family members have not yet returned to the headquarters, the three great families still have several ninth level Martial Monarchs hunting Martial Monarchs and young geniuses in various Zi Family cities, I and a few elders had no choice but to come out to rescue, who would have thought that at City No. 19, we encountered a joint siege by three ninth level Martial Monarchs.”
Zi Mo said everything in one breath, his face filled with anger, then he also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: “Fortunately, you arrived, otherwise, probably all of us would have been wiped out by the people from the three families.”
Lin Xiao’s expression darkened, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Hunting Martial Monarchs and younger generation geniuses, the three great families had truly torn off all pretences, wanting to completely eradicate the Zi Family’s combat power and future.
No wonder Zi Mo earlier did not want to let the group leave safely.
That group earlier must have been stained with the blood of countless Zi Family members.
Lin Xiao even felt a bit regretful for letting the group go.
Next time he saw them, he would definitely not give those few any chance and kill them directly.
“Elder Zi Mo, this time, our Gunlong Sect has come to assist the Zi Family in breaking the siege.” At this moment, a half-step Martial Emperor elder from the Yutian Boat spoke to Zi Mo.
“Then thank you, senior, thank you, Gunlong Sect.” Zi Mo cupped his hands and thanked.
Although they were all of the older generation, the few on the Yutian Boat were probably a hundred or eighty years older than him, calling them senior was not awkward.
“No need for that, time is pressing, let us hurry back to the Zi Family headquarters, if we are late, it may be too late.” That half-step Martial Emperor elder urged.
“Fellows, the Gunlong Sect coming to assist is a great kindness, the Zi Family will surely remember it, I, Zi Mo, will not say more superfluous words.”
Zi Mo cupped his hands and said: “The Zi Family is indeed in crisis now, Lin Xiao, please trouble you to take the seniors to the Zi Family headquarters, I will now go and rendezvous with the other two elders to deal with the hunting by the three great families, then go to assist later.”
“Do not worry, we also have three ninth level Martial Monarchs, the three great families wanting to besiege us again will probably not be so easy.” Zi Mo added.
“Good, take care, Elder Zi Mo!” Nodding, Lin Xiao then had the Gunlong Sect elder activate the Yutian Boat and dash towards the Zi Family headquarters.
