Chapter 341: A Bountiful Harvest

Seeing the old man approach, everyone stood up in unison and said respectfully, "Greetings, Third Elder."

"There's no need for formalities."

The Hu Family's Third Elder, Hu Zeng, waved his hand casually and said with a heavy expression, "Hu Hill, go and destroy the Teleportation Array now."

"Yes!"

Hu Hill strode toward the Teleportation Array.

"What about the Second Elder?"

The members of the Hu Family asked, unwilling to accept this.

Hu Zeng sighed. "For the future of our Hu Family, and for all of you to live, the Second Elder must be sacrificed."

As he said this, two tears silently rolled down his cheeks.

That was his second elder brother.

Now, he had to personally cut off their path of retreat, leaving his brother at the Golden Sun Sect to await death.

Hu Zeng declared loudly, "All of you, remember what happened today! It was that man named Su who forced us to abandon the Second Elder. In the future, you must all avenge him! If you can't kill Su, then kill his clansmen!"

"Yes!"

The Hu Family members roared in unison.

Hu Hill reached the Teleportation Array, raised his fist, and prepared to smash it to pieces.

WHAP!

However, his fist was caught.

Hu Hill looked up at Xiao Lang and demanded angrily, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Stopping you from destroying the Teleportation Array!"

Xiao Lang answered truthfully.

What?

Hu Hill glared at Xiao Lang and roared, "Are you insane? Get lost! Otherwise, when that man Su comes for us, he won't just slaughter my Hu Family—you'll die too!"

"I won't die!"

Xiao Lang said, shaking his head.

Hu Hill sneered, "You don't actually think that Su fellow won't kill you, do you?"

Xiao Lang nodded. "That's right. He's the Young Master of my Xiao Family. Why would he kill me?"

"What?"

Hu Hill's eyes widened. "Aren't you a disciple of the Golden Sun Sect? How did you suddenly become a member of the Xiao Family?"

Xiao Lang retorted, "When did I ever say I was from the Golden Sun Sect?"

Hu Hill's expression froze.

'It's true, he never claimed to be from the Golden Sun Sect.'

'It was all our own assumption.'

'No wonder he looked so reluctant when I called him brother and told me to let go of his arm.'

Hu Hill sneered, "So, you're from the Xiao Family. A pity. You're too weak to stop us from destroying the Teleportation Array."

"Try me and find out."

Xiao Lang said with a smile.

BAM!

Hu Hill once again tried to smash the Teleportation Array, but he was still blocked by Xiao Lang, who gripped his hand tightly.

No matter how he struggled, he couldn't move an inch.

Now, Hu Hill was truly shocked. He could only cast a pleading look at the Hu Family's Third Elder, Hu Zeng.

"Allow this old man to teach this brat a lesson."

Hu Zeng walked up to Xiao Lang, his large hand grabbing ruthlessly for Xiao Lang's arm.

'Since Xiao Lang won't let go...'

'Then I'll just have to rip his arm right off!'

"Get lost."

Xiao Lang threw a punch toward Hu Zeng.

Without even lifting his gaze.

BOOM!

Hu Zeng's head exploded into a mist of blood.

Seeing this, every member of the Hu Family was so shocked their jaws dropped.

That was their Third Elder!

A master at Martial King Great Perfection.

And yet, his head had been blown apart by a single punch from someone who hadn't even given him a proper glance.

He was just too powerful.

Xiao Lang scoffed, "A mere Martial King Great Perfection dared to make a move on a big shot like me, a Martial Monarch Perfection. He was simply asking to die."

THUD!

The next second, Hu Hill was sent flying with a kick.

Xiao Lang said to the remaining Hu Family members, "Don't say I'm bullying you. Come at me all at once. I'll finish you all in a single move."

With that, Xiao Lang imitated Su Mo, breaking off a branch from a nearby flowerpot and holding it in his hand.

"How arrogant!"

"Hmph! There are hundreds of us here. No matter how powerful you are, don't even think about defeating us."

"This brat killed our Third Elder! Let's fight him to the death!"

"Right! Even if we die, we'll take him down with us!"

The several hundred people charged madly toward Xiao Lang like a ferocious tidal wave.

True Dragon Supreme Swordsmanship!

SWISH!

Xiao Lang raised his hand and waved it lightly, unleashing a single strand of Sword Qi that sliced everyone present in half at the waist.

The main hall, however, remained completely unscathed.

Xiao Lang glanced around and remarked, "Compared to the Young Master, my Swordsmanship is still too weak. Otherwise, this hall would have been obliterated."

SHIMMER!

Just then, the Teleportation Array lit up with a brilliant glow.

Xiao Dong stepped out of the Teleportation Array. Staring at the bodies covering the floor, he asked in surprise, "Brother Lang, you've already taken care of the Hu Family's experts?"

"Sigh... It's their own fault for being too weak."

Xiao Lang said with mock regret, "I copied the Young Master, gave the branch in my hand a little wave, and they all just died."

The others who had arrived were also completely shocked.

Annihilating an entire clan by oneself.

This was a powerful feat that only Su Mo had been capable of in the past. Now, Xiao Lang could do it too.

His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.

The Second Elder said, "Since Xiao Lang has killed almost everyone, the rest of you can start dismantling the buildings. Don't just stand there gawking."

Soon, the Hu Family estate was completely dismantled.

It only took a quarter of an hour.

Standing on the now-barren mountain, the Second Elder complained, "The Hu Family really is trash. They couldn't even withstand a proper dismantling. We devoured them so quickly."

Beside him, Zhuge Su was rendered speechless.

'What a bunch of freaks!'

'Even the most powerful Sect wouldn't be able to withstand you people dismantling them like this.'

Su Mo said, "First, let's see what Treasure we got."

CLATTER!

The Second Elder poured out all the Treasure, which piled up into several small mountains.

"One hundred fifty Tier Seven Spiritual Soldiers."

"Over thirty-eight thousand Elixir Pills."

"Countless Spiritual Medicines."

"Countless Spirit Stones."

"Building Spiritual Materials, a total of eighteen mountains' worth."

The Second Elder tallied the Treasure with an excited expression, grinning from ear to ear. "Young Master, we've had a massive haul this time!"

Su Mo nodded, a look of disappointment on his face.

'It was a massive haul, but there's no Nine Heavens Green Falling Water.'

'Looks like I'll have to attack the Purple Cloud Palace after all.'

"Huh? There's a letter here."

"Open it and let's see!"

The Second Elder opened the letter and found that it contained no specific message—only a single, profound character: "Palace."

The character for "Palace" also exuded the pressure of a Martial Venerable.

The Second Elder complained, "Who is this letter for? It's just one damn word."

"Let me see!"

Zhuge Su took the letter. After seeing the character "Palace," he said excitedly, "This is the handwriting of the Purple Cloud Palace Master."

"Ah..."

The Second Elder said in astonishment, "The Purple Cloud Palace Master certainly is stingy with his words! Who could possibly understand a letter with just one word?"

"This isn't a letter. It's a voucher to enter Emperor Heaven Valley."

Zhuge Su explained.

Hearing this, Su Mo's eyes lit up. "Is Emperor Heaven Valley about to open?"

"Yes!"

Zhuge Su nodded emphatically.

Su Mo turned to Shi Feng. "Didn't you say Emperor Heaven Valley wouldn't open for another year?"

"This..."

Shi Feng was at a loss for words.

Zhuge Su came to his rescue, explaining, "Based on calculations from the last time it opened, Emperor Heaven Valley was indeed scheduled to open in a year. However, it's possible the Purple Cloud Palace intends to open it early to achieve some goal. This voucher is the proof."

"Excellent!"

Su Mo slapped his thigh, overjoyed. "Since Emperor Heaven Valley is opening early, I won't have to go through the trouble of attacking the Purple Cloud Palace!"
