The dome again turned transparent.
The first thing, which fell into Xia Len and others' sight was still the naked figure of Luo Jian slumped on the ground.
Then, next to him was standing Xia Tian with a gentle smile, while he was looking down at Luo Jian.
*Thud*
Xia Liang fell to the ground, and though he saw knew everything, he was unable to retrain his wrath after witnessing this scene.
He wished to cross the barrier right now, yet he was helpless.
The feeling of helplessness made him kneel on the ground.
'Did he take a liking to that woman?' Long Meihui thought.
Suddenly another three figures approached from behind, they were Long Wanhui, Meng Hui, and Wang Wenshu.
The first one came after listening to the news of her son coming back.
While the second one came after listening to the injured state of the Meng brothers.
The third one arrived in hopes that Xia Ying and Xia Chen had also come back with Xia Tian, though after looking for the bit the woman realized that only Xia Tian was there and no one else, still with hope she approached Xia Shuiyao and others.
"Shui'er what is happening?" Long Wanhui asked startling Xia Shuiyao.
"!?"
All three woman cultivation were far above the other three, therefore none of them were able to notice their arrival.
Long Wanhui stood at peak of the great emperor realm, while Wang Wenshu was already at the overload realm.
Meng Hui was the weakest among the group in the first stage of the great emperor realm.
Seeing the sudden arrival of all three women, Song Yan and Song Yue can't help but tilt their heads in confusion.
'Who are they?' The sisters exchanged glances, both had the same question reflecting over their heads.
Long Meihui on the other hand bowed lightly toward Long Wanhui.
"Greetings, Aunt Wanhui."
The latter also realize her presence, and a small smile appeared on her face.
"Meihui, you are also here?"
She asked but the next moment, she shook her head and asked with a serious look.
"No first tell us what is happening here. Why everyone is gathered around the arena?"
A complicated expression flashed on Long Meihui's face. 'Woman! Your son is the root cause of all this and you are asking me what is happening? He is only eighteen years old but has already turned my whole world upside down. He has brought the patriarch of one of the strongest ancient families to the helpless state. Ugh, he even has a personal immortal at his disposal! What did you exactly eat while giving birth to him?'
The big-breasted woman wanted to scream her mind out, but maintaining a serene look, she forced a smile and pointed her finger towards the center of the arena.
Immediately the three women frowned as an expression of disbelief flashed over their faces.
"Luo Jian!?"
"What happened to her?"
"What is Tian doing there?"
"What is happening exactly?"
A barrage of questions was rained by Long Wanhui.
The other two were relatively calm, but they had also turned towards Long Meihui for answers.
Long Meihui first calmed the three women and explained the situation to all three.
Listening to events, the three women's eyes were opened wide, the Xia Tian they knew can never do something like this.
This was too vicious!
And they can't understand what happened to Luo Jian.
Even if Xia Liang was not respected in the family, he still had 'Xia' in his name, and his wife was now naked in front of everyone, not only that she also dual cultivated with her nephew in front of a whole crowd.
This was a slap!
Not just to the face of Xia Liang but also to Xia Family itself!
If this news spread, it would cause a huge uproar!
Long Meihui can only shake her head, she knew nothing about Luo Jian, but it was clear Xia Tian did something to make her like this.
'Did he blackmail her?' Long Meihui thought, but the next second, she shook her head denying the possibility of Xia Tian forcing Luo Jian.
The other one appeared to be too cooperative.
Long Wanhui and Wang Wenshu soon left for Xia Ling's direction, while Meng Hui moved toward Meng Xun and Meng Cai.
Arriving in front of the Meng Brothers, Meng Hui install started inspecting their bodies and asked.
"What happened Xun?"
Meng Cai and Meng Xun sighed and told their side of the story.
After hearing it, Meng Hui's eyes can't help but turn complicated. 'Xia Tian helped these two? But why?'
A strange glimmer flashed as she looked at Xia Tian in the center of the arena.
Inside the arena.
Xia Tian and Luo Jian were back at the center of the field.
The latter kneeled near the unconscious body of Xia Bao.
"Why he isn't awake yet?"
Luo Jian asked anxiously.
She had already lost too many things, her pride, respect, and her husband.
Luo Jian can feel cold air brushing past her nipples as a tingling sensation hit her whole body making her shiver due to the cold.
Xia Tian could have given her a new set of clothes, be he preferred the woman to walk naked.
While Luo Jian was examining Xia Bao, a secret voice transmission was received by Xia Leng.
[Old man, do you want to kill Xia Liang?]
It was sent by Xia Tian.
Hearing the contents of the transmission, Xia Leng's expression changed.
He peeked and caught a glimpse of Xia Len and Xia Liang.
He would have long been a patriarch if it wasn't for his brother Xia Liang.
It was a good opportunity to remove him.
Then he quickly peeked at the floating figure of Nyx.
'Will he use the immortal to kill him?' Xia Leng thought.
If Xia Tian indeed used the immortal to kill him, it was a risk-free plan.
'But why is he asking me?'
Yes, Xia Leng was bothered that why is Xia Tian asking him. It was clear that his son wasn't asking for his permission but rather something else. But what is it?
"Husband!"
Suddenly, a woman called out from behind him.
Xia Leng turned around, he was slightly surprised at two women standing behind him, they were his wife and first concubine.
It wasn't hard to guess their purpose.
After a casual greeting, he again turned towards the arena.
He also informed Long Wanhui to not worry about Xia Tian, there were already two immortals near him, what can possibly happen to him?
As for Luo Jian, Xia Leng did not care.
'Tsk-Tsk, how did this bastard get these two women?' Long Ping thought with desire reflecting in his eyes, his sight fell on Long Wanhui and Wang Wenshu at the same time.
He did not stare for too long, although both woman's beauties were unrivaled, it was not enough for him to lose his life.
[What's the condition?]
Xia Leng sent the voice transmission back to Xia Tian.
The old man was becoming shrewd day by day, with just slight contemplation he can discern that his son wanted to squeeze his treasury dry using this opportunity.
[I want your best treasure.]
Xia Tian demanded.
He was just troubling the old man, he was going to kill Xia Liang either way, but if he can reap some benefits in the process, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
Xia Leng frowned slightly. 'Is he really my son?'
He was unable to believe his ears...
His son did not want spirit crystals but rather his best treasure.
After thinking for less than a minute, Xia Leng decided to accept the deal.
Giving treasure to his own son to kill Xia Liang was better than paying outsiders.
If Xia Liang was left alive, Xia Leng would have t at least wait for a few thousand years before he can consolidate his position as the absolute ruler of the Xia family.
Xia Leng was truly craft and vicious, he was ready to kill his brother for power.
He had long felt that spending the valuable resources of the family on Xia Liang was a waste. It was better to disown him, but his father never consented to it.
Today was a good opportunity, how can Xia Leng miss it?
But there was one thing that bothered him, how did his son know that he wanted to kill Xia Liang?
The answer was quite easy, it was not just Xia Tian but everyone in the Xia family was faintly aware of it, if not for the rules prohibiting bloodshed, Xia Liang would have been long killed by any other elder of the clan if not by Xia Leng.
Xia Liang was only an emperor still his position was at the great elder level, which was unacceptable to many other clan elders.
According to them, it was something that tarnished the Xia family's reputation.
Once the deal was done, Xia Tian nodded inwardly.
His guess about the old man wasn't wrong!
Although Xia Leng's brain was of an idiot, he still thought rationally.
Luo Jian was beginning to feel uneasy, no matter how much she tried, Xia Bao wasn't reacting at all.
He was still breathing which means he was alive... So why isn't he moving?
"Take this!"
Suddenly a long dagger was passed to her.
She turned around and found Xia Tian holding a dagger while signaling her to grip it.
She narrowed he eyes, but the next moment Xia Tian smiled gently and explained his good intentions.
"Try poking him with this. Maybe he will wake up," Xia Tian said.
The woman did a grave mistake of trusting his words, she gently extended her hands and took the dagger in her palm.
She felt it was quite a strange way.
But still, after thinking for a while, it was indeed a good idea.
There was no water to splash on his face.
And the woman did know any water techniques.
With caution, she gently placed the tip of the danger near Xia Bao's faced and poked him.
"What is he doing?" Xia Shuiyao muttered unable to understand their actions.
At first, she felt the woman was going to kill Xia Bao with the dagger but later she realized that it wasn't the case.
Though she can't understand why Xia Tian is smiling.
Somehow, the cold woman had learned to associate Xia Tian's smile with something ominous.
Long Meihui, Song Yan, and Song Yue were similarly curious about Luo Jian's actions.
"He is alive?" Meng Hui muttered with raised eyebrows.
She wished that Xia Bao was dead, unfortunately, his chest was moving slightly, which means he was still alive.
Suddenly her eyes narrowed as she saw Xia Tian moving.
'What is he trying to do?'
She had goodwill for Xia Tian, but she lost it pretty quickly after knowing that he is just a skirt chaser just like his father.
He fucked his own aunt and spared her son, it was a foolish move in her eyes.
According to her Xia Tian was just inviting trouble.
Even if he wanted Luo Jian, he could have killed Xia Liang and Xia Bao and then gotten her.
Why spare Xia Bao?
What if he grows in the future and comes for revenge?
Suddenly her pupils dilated.
"What!?"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Xia Tian tripped and fell to the ground.
