Chapter 37: Stormy Weather Throughout the City

  The Xus' family council hall, more than 20 main male members of the family gathered together.

  Although the Qin family was an insignificant existence in their previous acquaintance, once they threatened their status, every member of the Xu family, old and young, was as agitated as if someone had disturbed their ancestral tomb. Every face was filled with anger, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

  Xu Sanli is the current head of the Xu family. In his previous generation, there were two elder uncles who were also powerful Zhenwu Realm experts, roughly on par with him.

  In his generation, there were six male cousins of the same surname and clan, namely Xu.

  The next generation had seventeen more people.

  Among these twenty-six young men of the Xu family, twelve have entered the realm of True Martial!

  This is also the reason why the Xu family can be listed as one of the four major families in Lujiang County. The powerful Xu family, in Lujiang County, is not a paper tiger, but has strong backing.

  Xu Sanli didn't utter a word, his expression was profound, and his eyes coldly swept across the hall. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.

  "Descendants of the Xu family, I'm sure your blood is boiling at this moment! If you still remember what your surname is, then summon all your spirit!"

  "Roar!"

  All the descendants of the Xu family let out a wolf-like howl, which was their usual way of cheering themselves up.

  "The Xus have been a prominent family for over a hundred years! Having gone through six generations of 'family reputation', their status as a wealthy family has always been as stable as Mount Tai. However, today, the Xus' signboard has already begun to be despised by some people. No matter who the opponent is, the motto of the Xu clan is - go all out, do not spare any effort, and absolutely do not show mercy!"

  Xu Sanli slammed his fist on the chair, a good wooden chair, and it crashed to the ground.

  "Roar!"

  All of Xu's children could feel the anger of their family head, and in fact, they were also angry.

  Standing at the height of the Xu family today, being challenged on "family virtues" has already lost three points in terms of face, regardless of winning or losing.

  Why don't they go challenge the Yuns and the Qians?

  Why did you choose the Xu family? To put it bluntly, isn't it just because among the three major wealthy families, the Xu family is the easiest to bully!

  This challenge is no longer just an insult, but also involves the authority of the aristocratic family.

  The two oldest elders of the Xushi clan, one of whom had only one eye, said coldly: "Clan leader, I must say a few words. This matter is not just a provocation to the dignity of the powerful Xushi clan. We must attach great importance to it and treat it as a matter of life and death."

  Xu Sanli nodded: "Kai Shu's words are reasonable, the duel in the family's ranking, involves the family's status and honor, must be a fight to the death. I hereby declare that all those who participate in this battle, must go all out to kill their opponents. No matter how strong or weak the opponent is, they must make killing them their ultimate goal!"

  That one-eyed man nodded in approval of Xu Sanli's attitude and said nothing more.

  Another elder, Yue, spoke up: "I'm 97 years old this year. In terms of family status, I've experienced four generations. What must be mentioned is that any family that dares to apply for the challenge qualification generally won't do so without a bit of confidence. Family status isn't child's play. Since the Qin family dared to make our Xu family their challenge object, they must have an ace up their sleeve!"

  Xu Sanli was deep in thought, and he had also repeatedly pondered this question. He didn't believe that the Qin family didn't have any trump cards at all. The series of events that occurred when looking at the list that day had a huge impact on him, and to this day, it was still vivid in his mind, making him feel uneasy whenever he thought about it.

  A true martial saint's warrior sends a message to the Qin family. The story behind this is absolutely profound.

  Qin Lianshan is a steady person. Judging from common sense, he would never be reckless enough to challenge the powerful Xushi family without any assurance.

  Unless every single member of the Qin family is fed up with living.

  Undoubtedly, the humble Qin family must have grasped some unknown trump card.

  But what about the Qin family? The only ones who can fight are Qin Lianshan and his son. One is a True Martial First Stage, the other is a Martial Child Seventh Stage. Even if they were to increase their strength by two levels on this basis, it would still be insignificant in the eyes of the Xu family.

  No matter from which angle, the poor Qin family doesn't seem to have the qualifications to challenge the wealthy Xu family. Even if they had connections with the True Martial Sacred Land, in this kind of family-oriented society, one can't fake it and still needs to rely on actual strength to speak.

  "Two uncles of the clan, in your opinion, who will be the one from the Qin family to go to war, Qin Lian Shan or Qin Wu Xiang?"

  Xu Sanli was still puzzled about this matter.

  That elder Yuelong thought for a moment and also shook his head, unable to confirm.

  "That one-eyed old man said, 'No matter who among them takes the field, we must dispatch our strongest lineup. How this lineup is arranged must be carefully designed. Of course, perhaps the Qin family father and son will use smoke bombs to throw off our strategy."

  Yue Chang also said: "That's right, they didn't expect that both father and son would come on stage, but intentionally said one person would fight to the end, so as to interfere with our deployment of troops."

  Xu Sanli nodded and said, "Hmph, no matter how they try to confuse us with their tricks, as long as our own formation remains unbroken, we have nothing to fear. Whatever changes may occur, Chapter 037, in the depths of my bones, I sense that they have other intentions..."

  "Qin Lianshan's daughter?" The old man was taken aback, then firmly shook his head. "A Heng, you must keep a close eye on him, don't even think about getting distracted. If something happens now, it won't just implicate the Da Xi clan, but also the Qin family."

  "I'll warn him!" Daxi Heng dropped a white piece and smiled, "Master Shibo, you've lost this game again, haven't you?"

  The old man was taken aback, staring at the chessboard for a moment, as if he had something to say: "Aheng, you are now the head of the Da Xue family, and you're used to being a winner."
