Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 404: Kill Him Like Slaughtering Pigs and Dogs!

"However..."

Yang Yuhuan’s lips slightly curved upwards, revealing a trace of chilling intent as he said, "The bet between Xiao Yi and the Nangong Family was made with Nangong Shengtian. Now that Nangong Shengtian is dead, the debt should have died with the person, yet Xiao Yi nearly annihilated the Nangong Family, which is a grudge against their entire clan. I believe that Nangong Shengji would not be willing to just let this matter rest!"

His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of Nangong Shengji.

Emperor Qian’s expression suddenly changed.

He had guessed what Yang Yuhuan was thinking.

Nangong Shengji was also a cunning man, and naturally heard the hidden meaning in Yang Yuhuan’s words. Without waiting for Emperor Qian to speak, he stepped forward.

He bowed solemnly to Emperor Qian and Yang Yuhuan, then with a resolute expression and in a tone filled with righteous indignation, he said, "For a personal vendetta, Xiao Yi destroyed our ancestral home and nearly wiped out my entire clan, which is a deep and immense hatred. I am willing to stake my life and duel Xiao Yi to the death, and I earnestly request the Emperor’s permission!"

"Nonsense, you..."

Emperor Qian scolded with a dark face.

But Yang Yuhuan interrupted his words, saying, "The Nangong Family has made significant contributions to the Great Qian Dynasty for generations, serving as the empire’s strong supporters and mainstay. I beseech Your Majesty to grant the request of the Nangong Family head, lest you chill the hearts of these loyal old ministers!"

Yang Yuhuan glanced towards Nangong Shengji.

Thump!

Nangong Shengji knelt heavily before Emperor Qian, his head repeatedly thudding against the ground making a muffled thud, and he said gravely, "I earnestly beg Your Majesty to grant my wish!"

Rustle!

The remaining powerhouses of the Nangong Family knelt one by one on the ground, their faces filled with sorrow and anger, "We earnestly beg Your Majesty to grant our wish!"

Sun Yao and others also shouted, "Your Majesty..."

The corners of Yang Yuhuan’s mouth slightly lifted as he took a step forward, bowing to Emperor Qian and saying, "I earnestly request Your Majesty to grant this wish!"

"Your Majesty, please grant it!" Your next read awaits at novelbuddy

The crowd cried out loudly.

Emperor Qian’s face was expressionless, but deep within his eyes flowed emotions as unpredictable as the deep and cold waters of a secluded pond. He narrowed his eyes to slits and gently touched his nose, his gaze emanating dangerous glimmers. His eyes then turned to Xiao Yi, "Since this matter is a grudge between you and the head of the Nangong Family, what do you think?"

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes.

The ball was squarely in his court now.

Xiao Yi’s gaze flickered with amusement as it swept over Nangong Shengji and Yang Yuhuan’s figures. His lips slightly curved upwards as he said, "Your Majesty, I am not opposed to settling life and death with the Nangong Family head. However, I have a few conditions!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Qian raised his eyebrows, looking at Nangong Shengji and Yang Yuhuan with a half-smile, "What do the two of you think?"

Yang Yuhuan indifferently said, "Let’s hear what his demands are first!"

All eyes turned towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi spoke, "Lord Yang stated that since Nangong Shengtian is dead, the bet I had with him does not count. So, as Lord Yang says, we will let this bet be dismissed! However, Nangong Shengtian once took away the Treasure Pavilion’s deposit of 100 trillion Silver from Beitang Feng’s hands, and the Nangong Family must return this 100 trillion Silver. If they don’t have the money, then their shops can be used to cover the debts. The day the head of the Nangong Family clears the debt will be the day he and I confront each other!"

Hiss!

Everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

100 trillion Silver?

Given the current situation of the Nangong Family, they would have to use their shops to pay off this debt to Xiao Yi, otherwise, they simply wouldn’t be able to clear it!

Could the Nangong Family afford to give up their shops?

Clearly, they could not!

This was the Nangong Family’s last hope for a resurgence, and even if Yang Yuhuan took in the Nangong Family at this moment, the more than ten thousand shops that were in the hands of the Nangong Family were a significant factor. Even if those shops could no longer sell medicinal pills, they were worth a fortune and could bring in a hefty profit if put to good use.

Nangong Shengji angrily declared, "You want my shops? Impossible!"

Yang Yuhuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao Yi, propose another condition!"

Xiao Yi glanced at him, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Lord Yang, I have already given you face by dismissing my bet with Nangong Shengtian. You still want to reject my terms now; your appetite seems a bit too large, doesn’t it?"

"My appetite is indeed this huge, what can you do to me?" Yang Yuhuan leaned forward slightly, his dangerous aura locking onto Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi looked at Emperor Qian, his tone neither servile nor overbearing, "I ask Your Majesty to decide!"

Emperor Qian’s lips twitched, wishing he could smack Xiao Yi flat on the ground.

Angered by Xiao Yi drawing him into the fray, Emperor Qian, in his vexation, also felt somewhat helpless. He knew this was Xiao Yi’s silent protest at him for watching the fight from the sidelines. With this thought, Emperor Qian spoke gravely, "Let’s do this then; let the Nangong Family first hand over the deeds to those shops to me, and you will have your fight with Xiao Yi. If you win, the deeds will be returned to you, but if you lose, the deeds go to Xiao Yi. How about that?"

This was indeed Emperor Qian playing peacemaker.

Offending no one!

Xiao Yi cursed silently, "Old fox," but he also knew this was the only way to get both parties to agree and said indifferently, "I don’t care!"

Uncertainty flickered across Nangong Shengji’s face.

He wasn’t afraid of losing to Xiao Yi, but he was worried that once the property deeds were handed over to Emperor Qian, he wouldn’t get them back.

As he hesitated...

Yang Yuhuan said softly, "Nangong, rest assured, I am still here!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Nangong Shengji’s heart relaxed, and then he looked at Emperor Qian, "Your Majesty, your servant agrees to your proposal. However, my Nangong Family owns many businesses, and many property deeds are in the hands of the shopkeepers, which cannot be coordinated all at once..."

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Then wait until Master Nangong brings the property deeds to His Majesty, and then come challenge me."

Emperor Qian nodded and said, "It should indeed be so!"

Yang Yuhuan frowned but ultimately said nothing more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your accommodation!"

Nangong Shengji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he raised his head, his eyes were blood-red, and with a fierce glare at Xiao Yi, he said sinisterly, "Xiao Yi, cherish the last few days of your life! When I battle you, it will be time to take your head!"

"I’m waiting!"

Xiao Yi, neither humble nor arrogant, gave him a glance, his fighting spirit no less than that of Nangong Shengji’s.

Shi shi!

Their gazes clashed in the air, sparking fierce flames of battle.

The onlookers’ eyes were all sweeping back and forth between the two men, some with sadness, some with joy, some with pleasure, and some with sorrow...

"Nangong Shengji is at the peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm. Although he’s not as powerful as the War King, he is much stronger than Xiao Yi!"

"This wager, Xiao Yi is sure to lose!"

"It’s not necessarily so..."

Amidst the crowd’s murmurs, Yang Yuhuan led Nangong Shengji and the others away.

Emperor Qian patted Xiao Yi’s shoulder, smiled faintly, and said, "After you’ve settled the matters here, come to the palace. I have something to discuss with you!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Emperor Qian glanced at Qi, and master and servant soared into the sky.

For a moment.

On the vast ruins of the Nangong Family estate, only Xiao Yi, the two from the Treasure Pavilion, and the people from the Xiaoshanhe Institute were left. Everyone fell silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into a violent cheer: "We won, we have won!"

"Hahaha, Xiaoshanhe Institute is invincible!"

A few months ago...

The Xiaoshanhe Institute was still begging the Nangong Family for supplies of medicinal pills, but now, the powerful Nangong Family had been practically leveled by the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

How could they not be excited?

Xiao Yi waved his large hand and declared, "Little Lin, take everyone back and wait for me! Prepare food and drink; tonight, we will not return until we are drunk!"

"Yes!"

Little Lin responded loudly.

"Long live the Institute Head!"

"The Institute Head is invincible..."

The crowd shouted excitedly.

Only Nalan Qianqiu and a few other Dharma Manifestation Realm powerhouses had worried looks, turning to Xiao Yi, "Head Xiao, are you confident in defeating Nangong Shengji?"

"Confidence? If I were to battle him now, I would not be confident. But by the time he has finished coordinating all the businesses, which at the soonest will take a month, by then..."

Xiao Yi’s mouth curved slightly upward, he said faintly, "I will slaughter him like butchering pigs and dogs!"
