Chapter 9 Please, let me go!
In the Xiao family hall, several elders sat on both sides, their faces increasingly grim.
The First Elder looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "Clan Chief, Xiao Ze killed Galeo, and the Galeo family must be given an explanation for this."
"How does the Grand Elder intend to explain this?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Hand Xiao Ze over," the Grand Elder said.
Xiao Zhan's face darkened.
"Elder, Xiao Ze is my son," Xiao Zhan said.
"Precisely because Xiao Ze is the patriarch's son, we should give the Jialie family an explanation," the elder said. "Otherwise, if the Jialie family retaliates, our Xiao family cannot afford it."
"The First Elder is right," the Second Elder nodded. "The strength of the Jialie family is no less than that of our Xiao family. It's not worth going to war with the Jialie family for the sake of Xiao Ze."
"How could Xiao Ze, a piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi, kill Galeo?" the Third Elder said. "He must have used some despicable means."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan was furious.
"Third Elder, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Zhan said coldly.
"The clan leader knows what I mean," the Third Elder said. "Who here doesn't know Xiao Ze's strength? He's at the third level of Dou Qi. Could he possibly kill Galeo?"
"Galio has several Dou Zhe-level guards with him," the Second Elder said. "How could Xiao Ze, a piece of trash with only third-stage Dou Qi, possibly kill them?"
"They must have used some underhanded methods," the elder said.
"That's enough," Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice.
The elders looked at Xiao Zhan, but they remained silent.
"Xiao Ze is my son, and I trust him," Xiao Zhan said. "Xiao Ze would never use any despicable means."
"Patriarch, this isn't a matter of belief or disbelief," the First Elder said. "The Jia Lie family has already received the news, and they will definitely come to our Xiao family to demand our people back."
"Since Xiao Ze dared to kill someone, he must bear the responsibility," the Second Elder said.
"We elders have discussed this," the First Elder said. "We'll hand Xiao Ze over to appease the Jia Lie family's anger."
"I disagree," Xiao Zhan said.
"Clan leader..." The elder wanted to say something more.
"I said I disagree, and that's final." Xiao Zhan interrupted the Grand Elder. "Xiao Ze is my son, and no one can hand him over."
The elders exchanged glances, their expressions not looking too good.
Gallie family.
Galebi sat in the hall, his face ashen.
A guard knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"What did you say?" Galebi's voice was icy.
"Young Master...Young Master was killed by Xiao Ze," the guard said in a trembling voice.
Galebi suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table, shattering it with a crash.
"Xiao Ze!" Jia Liebi roared, "How dare this piece of trash from the Xiao family kill my son?"
The members of the Jialie family in the hall all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Galebi clenched his fists, his veins bulging.
"Gather everyone and come with me to the Xiao family," Jia Liebi said.
"Clan leader, should we...?" an elder asked.
"No need," Galebi interrupted the elder. "I want to kill Xiao Ze myself to avenge my son."
Outside the Xiao family gate.
Jia Liebi led the Jia Lie family members, and they arrived at the Xiao family in a grand procession.
Dozens of people stood outside the Xiao family's gate, their faces grim.
Jia Liebi stood at the front, staring at the Xiao family's gate with murderous intent in his eyes.
When the guards of the Xiao family saw this formation, their expressions changed.
A guard rushed in to report.
Xiao Zhan and several elders walked out of the hall.
Xiao Zhan looked at Jialiebi, his brows furrowed.
"Jialebi, what is the meaning of bringing so many people to my Xiao family?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Xiao Zhan, stop playing dumb with me," Jia Liebi said coldly. "Your son Xiao Ze killed my son, and you must give me an explanation today."
"Galebi, about this matter..." Xiao Zhan began.
"I don't care what you say," Jialiebi interrupted Xiao Zhan. "Hand over Xiao Ze. I'm going to kill him to avenge my son."
The eldest elder stepped forward, looked at Jialiebi, and said, "Clan Chief Jialie, regarding this matter, our Xiao family..."
"Shut up."
Jialiebi looked at Xiao Zhan and asked, "Xiao Zhan, I'll ask you one more time, where is Xiao Ze?"
"Jialebi, Xiao Ze is my son," Xiao Zhan said. "If you want to kill Xiao Ze, ask me first if I agree."
"So there's nothing to talk about?" Galebi said.
The elders looked at Xiao Zhan, and their expressions were not good.
The elder walked to Xiao Zhan's side and whispered, "Clan leader, hand Xiao Ze over. It's not worth it for a piece of trash."
Xiao Zhan ignored the Grand Elder.
"Xiao Zhan, have you thought this through?" Jia Liebi said coldly.
"No need to consider it," Xiao Zhan said.
Galebi's face turned completely gloomy.
Just as Jialiebi was about to send his men to storm into the Xiao family's house, a voice came from inside the gate.
Xiao Ze walked out of the Xiao family's gate, followed by Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Xun'er looked at the members of the Jia Lie family outside, her brows furrowing slightly.
When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Ze come out, his expression changed.
"Xiao Ze, what are you doing out here?" Xiao Zhan asked. "Going back."
"Father, this whole thing started because of me," Xiao Ze said. "I'll handle it myself."
Before Xiao Zhan could say anything more, Jialiebi had already spoken.
"You're Xiao Ze?" Jia Liebi stared at Xiao Ze, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Yes," Xiao Ze said.
"You killed my son," Galebi said.
"Galeo deserves to die," Xiao Ze said.
Galebi was furious.
"Go get him! Kill him!" Galebi shouted angrily, pointing at Xiao Ze.
The guards of the Jia Lie family rushed out, and more than a dozen Dou Zhe-level guards pounced on Xiao Ze at the same time.
Xiao Ze watched them rush towards him, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.
Xiao Ze raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
boom!
The guards at the front were sent flying backwards, crashing to the ground and remaining motionless.
Xiao Ze's figure weaved through the crowd, striking down more than a dozen guards with a single palm strike, none of whom could stand up.
Galebi stood there, completely stunned.
Jia Liebi stared wide-eyed at the guards on the ground, then at Xiao Ze.
How is that possible? These guards are all Dou Zhe level experts. How could Xiao Ze, a piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi, kill one of them with a single palm strike?
Xiao Zhan was also stunned.
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Ze, his eyes filled with shock.
This is his son? Third-stage Battle Qi? Impossible, this is not the strength that a third-stage Battle Qi could possess.
The elders were all dumbfounded.
The elder opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.
Wasn't Xiao Ze a good-for-nothing? Wasn't he only at the third level of Dou Qi? How could Xiao Ze be so strong?
When Galebi came to his senses, the anger in his eyes intensified.
"Xiao Ze, you're asking for it."
Galebi's fighting spirit erupted, transforming him into a five-star Great Dou Master.
With a roar, Galebi threw a punch at Xiao Ze. The punch carried terrifying power, tearing the air apart.
Xiao Ze watched as Jialiebi rushed over, but his expression remained calm.
Xiao Ze raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
The two palms clashed.
boom!
Galebi's body flew out and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Ze lifted his foot and stepped on Jia Liebi's leg.
"what!"
Galebi screamed in agony, his voice trembling, the sound of his bones shattering clearly audible.
His face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"You just said you were going to kill me?" Xiao Ze said.
"I...I was wrong..." Jia Liebi pleaded, "If you let me go...the Jia Lie family won't pursue this matter..."
Xiao Ze looked at Jia Liebi, but he didn't say anything.
Xiao Ze said calmly, "Are you finished?"
Jia Liebi was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Ze raised his hand and slapped down.
Galebi's eyes widened, his body twitched, and then he stopped moving.
There was a deathly silence outside the Xiao family's gate.
The members of the Jia Lie family looked at Xiao Ze with fear in their eyes.
They never expected that their clan leader, who personally took action, would be defeated by Xiao Ze with a single palm strike, and without any chance to fight back.
Xiao Zhan stood there, looking at Xiao Ze, without saying a word for a long time.
When did Xiao Zhan's son become so strong?
