Chapter 427: Player of the Fourth Scourge (7)

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Young Clan Leader Xiao Tianyun. He was the greatest genius the Xiao family had produced throughout its history. And now he had actually appeared because of this matter.

"Yet... the young clan leader seems somewhat hurried..."

The surrounding law-enforcement officers saw Xiao Tianyun's arrival and no longer paid attention to Su Chen, hurriedly offering their respects.

Nearby, Xiao Song was quite surprised by the young clan leader's appearance.

Yet this was a good thing!

Seeing the smile on the young clan leader's face, Xiao Song also smiled.

"Finally... I made it in time!"

Xiao Tianyun's face was flushed red. In order to change the future fate of being destroyed alongside the Xiao family, he had poured out every ounce of strength, even resorting to a secret art that shortened his lifespan... yet fortunately he had arrived in time.

Su Chen watched the scene. Just as he prepared to slap all these people to death with a single palm,

"Father... great father, please do not act yet!"

Xiao Tianyun did not even pause to catch his breath. Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, he directly slid forward on both knees and dropped before the youth who, apart from being handsome, seemed "utterly ordinary."

"Young... young clan leader, this must not be done!"

Seeing this, Xiao Song felt as though his head had exploded on the spot.

Before that explosion could fully settle, Xiao Tianyun heard the words and the rage in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Fuck your mother, you idiot Xiao Song!"

Xiao Tianyun slapped out and shattered Xiao Song's body, leaving only the spirit soul staring at the scene in terror.

"Interesting... could this be yet another rebirth?"

Su Chen had already grown accustomed to rebirths. Looking at Xiao Tianyun straining to perform and curry favor with him, he set aside his intention to strike and watched the dramatic scene with interest.

To him, this was far more meaningful than simply destroying the Xiao family with a single slap.

After shattering Xiao Song's body with one slap, Xiao Tianyun seized the spirit soul and then prostrated himself before the youth, not daring even to breathe heavily... fortunately, the scene from his memories did not appear. He knew he had secured a slim chance at survival!

What he needed to do now was play the clown performing on stage, straining to entertain that terrifying man so that he could fight for a chance at survival for himself and the Xiao family!

The members of the Xiao family knew nothing of Xiao Tianyun's thoughts.

They saw the young clan leader not only kneeling before a strange man but also striking down a clan steward. They wondered whether the young clan leader had gone mad or been possessed.

Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Xiao Tianyun felt helpless. He knew there was no time for slow explanations... reality simply did not give him the chance.

"As long as I can obtain that person's forgiveness, everything is worth it!"

Face? Was face worth anything?

Xiao Tianyun understood clearly. Although the Xiao family ranked decently within the Starry Sky Alliance, before the entire Federation it was nothing noteworthy, let alone that terrifying man who was an existence capable of overturning the entire Federation!

"Hurry and make way! Do you still intend to obstruct me?"

Xiao Tianyun turned around, his expression changing as he coldly surveyed the crowd with the full authority of a superior.

This caused the numerous Xiao family members and even the law-enforcement guards to instinctively open a path.

Xiao Tianyun grew excited.

At present, as long as that great person's bloodline was restored to the genealogy, it would mean the Xiao family had formally boarded this great ship!

Xiao Tianyun's thoughts were beautiful.

Yet a change occurred.

"Father?"

A middle-aged man of innate authority stood at the far end. At that moment, many elders followed behind him.

The middle-aged man was the patriarch of the Xiao family! How could the commotion in Xiao City have been hidden from him?

"Tianyun! Do you know what you are doing?"

The Xiao family patriarch was deeply disappointed.

Xiao Tianyun had not expected his father to appear here. He gave a bitter smile. "Father, Tianyun knows very clearly what he is doing... this concerns the life and death of our Xiao family. Father, please trust your son once. Tianyun, you have gone mad!"

A tall and thin elder behind the patriarch roared in anger. The young clan leader of the illustrious Xiao family was actually kneeling before an outsider. If word of this spread, how would others view the Xiao family?

"Nephew Tianyun must have had his mind controlled. First capture Nephew Tianyun, then thoroughly interrogate this person on how he controlled him!"

The patriarch said nothing, clearly tacitly approving the decision.

A terrifying force instantly condensed into a great seal that pressed down toward Xiao Tianyun. He roared in fury, "Father... you are pushing the Xiao family into a dead end! All of you will become sinners of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Tianyun fell into despair. He had been reborn and struggled to reach this point. Just as he was about to change the fate of the Xiao family, destiny had played a cruel joke on him... Everything was being destroyed by his own father, the current patriarch of the Xiao family, and the many elders...

Xiao Tianyun forced himself to resist the terrifying restraint and faced that man, kowtowing heavily. He could no longer speak. He could neither argue nor debate. This was the final struggle he was capable of!

This scene only further enraged the current patriarch of the Xiao family. He closed his eyes and declared, "Spare no cost to make the young clan leader awaken!"

The words had barely fallen when a violent roar erupted above the Xiao family continent. A massive rift tore open in the sky, and an extravagant warship swiftly emerged from within.

A banner flew on the warship, its characters strikingly clear.

"Jin"

This was the emblem of the Jin family of the Starry Sky Alliance. The Jin family was likewise a top-tier clan of the Alliance, no weaker than the Xiao family.

A youth in golden robes gazed down at the Xiao family below, his heart surging with excitement.

The youth was named Jin Taihua. He also possessed another identity.

In truth, he was a rebirth.

The first thing he had done upon awakening was learn that the Xiao family had not yet been destroyed. This filled Jin Taihua with great joy.

There was still a chance to remedy everything!

"The Xiao family once offended that terrifying man and thereby invited the Scourge of annihilation."

"Xiao Tianyun had luckily survived and once said that everything had been caused by a lowly member of the Xiao family."

"At the present point in time, the Xiao family has not yet been destroyed, and that man's terror has not yet been exposed... if I act in advance, even a trivial favor would allow my Jin family to dominate the Alliance alone and even become one of the few great powers in the entire Federation!"

Jin Taihua's calculations were excellent. Yet he discovered that something seemed off. He saw the legendary man. And... he seemed to have spotted Xiao Tianyun as well.

"Fuck! Xiao Tianyun, you shameless bastard!"
