Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 1230: Chapter 1216 Choice

Tiance State.

Countless formidable beings flew out from Tian Ce City, surrounding the massive pit a hundred miles away.

One by one, they witnessed the immeasurable depth of the giant pit and felt the space storms and chaotic energy currents raging in the void, even experts as strong as Fang Tianchi dared not approach lightly.

"I always knew Elder Xiao was powerful, but I never expected him to be this strong!"

"With Elder Xiao’s strength, he might even be stronger than the clan leader, wouldn’t he?"

"The battle marks here will probably take at least a thousand years to fully disappear..."

Amidst their whispers.

Suddenly...

A rumbling noise resounded from within the dark pit.

Everyone became alert.

All of a sudden.

Boom!

Crash!

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, followed by a colossal column of molten lava erupting from the ground. This massive lava column soared thousands of meters high, piercing the clouds like a red chain welding the heavens and the earth.

Amidst the sky-full of fire pillars.

A silhouette slowly emerged, with the scalding lava unable to approach him.

As if he were the ruler of this world.

"Elder Xiao?"

"Hahaha, truly worthy of being our Tiance Clan’s Supreme Elder, indeed invincible..."

"Judging by his relaxed demeanor, it seems he won this battle!"

"Where is Zhao Shouyi? He must have been sealed by Elder Xiao, right?"

They exchanged murmurs.

They never imagined that Zhao Shouyi had been drained to a husk by Xiao Yi and incinerated to ashes in the lava.

After all.

He was a bona fide Sacred Venerate Realm expert!

Just like Zhao Heng, Xiao Yi could only seal him, not kill him. One should know that killing a Sacred Venerate Realm expert is extraordinarily difficult, much like Fang Tianchi had reached a cultivation realm of five thousand steps, but if he aimed to kill Fang Tianmiao, who was at two thousand steps, he wouldn’t have absolute confidence.

The vitality of a Sacred Venerate Realm expert is genuinely terrifying!

And also...

When a Sacred Venerate Realm expert is prepared to die, even those with higher cultivation feel dread.

Fang Tianchi laughed heartily as he approached: "Elder Xiao’s divine might, it seems you’ve already defeated Zhao Shouyi. But did you seal him underground? Such a formidable being must be entirely eradicated, or else they remain a lingering threat, ready to break free at any moment!"

"The clan leader is correct!"

Fang Qingyun nodded in agreement, saying profoundly, "Since we’ve already decided to fall out with the Martial Clan, we must show no mercy. Experts like Zhao Shouyi, the fewer, the better for Martial Clan..."

Fang Tianmiao said, "Elder Xiao, please break the seal and let eight of us enter together to annihilate Zhao Shouyi and eliminate future threats!"

Xiao Yi wore a peculiar expression as he looked at them, saying calmly, "He’s already turned to dust!"

"Oh, he’s turned to dust already, then we... wait..."

Fang Tianchi looked bewildered, incredulous, asking, "What did you say? You’ve already killed him?"

"Impossible, isn’t it?"

"How long has it been? Elder Xiao has already killed Zhao Shouyi?"

"Inconceivable, absolutely inconceivable..."

The powerful beings looked at Xiao Yi with awe turned to fear.

One must know...

To have absolute certainty in defeating a Sacred Venerate Realm expert, one needs a thousand-step advantage over them. To kill them requires at least a two-thousand-step advantage. To slay them alone requires a three-thousand-step advantage!

This is only theoretical realm suppression.

In reality...

Every Sacred Venerate Realm expert has their own escape techniques, which can’t be generalized. Truly killing them demands a much greater advantage than theoretical power!

Zhao Shouyi was a Sacred Venerate Realm expert at fifteen hundred steps.

Xiao Yi’s ability to kill him, even theoretically, puts his cultivation realm at four thousand five hundred steps or more.

Moreover.

Xiao Yi annihilated Zhao Shouyi with utmost ease, like reaching into a bag for something.

"Could Elder Xiao already be at the five-thousand-step realm?" Fang Tianchi looked utterly bewildered.

He knew Fang Tianmiao said before, two years ago, that Xiao Yi had just entered the Longevity Secret Realm!

Had he already caught up with an ancient monster like him who had cultivated for over ten thousand years?

Xiao Yi looked at Fang Tianchi, naturally aware of his shock, but he offered no explanation.

If not for using the Divine Sealing Tree, even with his power he could kill Zhao Shouyi, but certainly not so effortlessly, so he changed the subject: "Everyone, now that the Martial Clan nearly dominates the entire Mysterious Realm, the Tiance Clan and Water Tribe are their final targets. The Martial Clan is sure to launch an attack on us soon, so we should discuss how to respond..."

Hearing this.

Everyone was drawn back to attention, Fang Qingyun nodded, sighed, and said, "Elder Xiao is correct, those guys from the Martial Clan are ambitious; we must be on guard against them!"

"The Martial Clan has always been formidable, overpowering the ancient eight clans. Now, with the Sun Tribe, Demon Tribe, and Witch Tribe joining, only us and the Water Tribe remain to resist them!"

"The Water Tribe suggests we go to Water State and use its advantage to ambush them!"

"That’s impossible. Our Tiance Clan relies on the protection of our ancestral lineage in Tiance State. If we go to Water State, we’ll be at a massive disadvantage. If the Water Tribe turns their back on us, we’ll be like fish on their chopping block, at their mercy!"

They all voiced their opinions, speaking freely.

For a moment, it seemed impossible to set a definitive strategy.

Fang Tianchi was also troubled, looking at Xiao Yi: "Elder Xiao, what do you think?"

Everyone turned to Xiao Yi.

After these events and witnessing Xiao Yi’s formidable power, they subtly saw him as a cornerstone.

Xiao Yi spoke in a deep voice: "As you’ve said, the Martial Clan currently holds an absolute advantage. Just us and the Water Tribe resisting them is nearly impossible..." Pausing, he let his gaze sweep over everyone, seeing no objections, he continued, "We now have two options..."

Everyone raised their heads.

As Xiao Yi said, for them Tiance Clan to face the Martial Clan alone, there was a slim chance of holding on.

But with the addition of the Sun Tribe, Demon Tribe, and half the Witch Tribe. noveldrama

It’s almost hopeless!

Fang Tianchi asked: "Elder Xiao, speak freely!"

"Two options? What exactly are they?"

"The first option is to unite with the Water Tribe and fight against the Martial Clan to the end, regardless of life and death..."

Xiao Yi said calmly, and everyone fell silent. This was the worst and most helpless choice. Seeing their silence, Xiao Yi continued, "The second option is to leave the Mysterious Realm!"

"Leave the Mysterious Realm?"

"Is this making us deserters?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Not leaving? Are we truly to fight the Martial Clan to the death with all our clan members?"

For a moment.

The group became polarized.

This was within Xiao Yi’s expectations, he looked at Fang Tianchi: "Clan leader, you are the one in charge of the Tiance Clan, the decision rests with you!"

"I..."

Fang Tianchi’s expression changed slightly, his gaze swept over his kin behind him.

Some were battle-ready, eager to fight to the death, defending the Tiance Clan’s honor!

Some felt hesitant, unwilling to resist pointlessly.

For a moment.

Fang Tianchi also faced a difficult decision.

To advance?

Or to retreat?

To seek life?

Or to seek death?

Fang Tianchi’s expression wavered for a while, then he took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When he reopened them, he had made a decision, declaring solemnly, "I’ve made up my mind..."
