The Crazy Son-In-Law

The attack came from three directions, but the target was only one.

Facing this sudden onslaught, Xiao Shun remained unperturbed.

He first shattered Nie Jiu Zhong’s blade with a punch, then swung backward with a palm strike, using his Arcane Vigor infused with Dan Fire to repel the insects and disperse the poisonous mist.

With just these two moves, the predicament was instantly resolved!

Seeing this, Nie Jiu Zhong’s face changed drastically. He tried to retreat with his blade.

But Xiao Shun didn’t give him the chance and closed in.

“Roar!”

A dragon’s roar echoed as Xiao Shun’s fist glowed with a golden light, smashing towards the panicking Nie Jiu Zhong like a raging dragon emerging from the sea.

Nie Jiu Zhong knew the power of this punch and dared not hesitate. He held his blade horizontally in front of him, trying to block the formidable force.

The golden fist and the golden hilt collided like sparks hitting the earth.

“Bang!”

A loud sound erupted, and sound waves rippled through the air!

In an instant, Nie Jiu Zhong felt a violent surge pass through his body, causing intense pain in his hand holding the blade. He was sent flying.

Xiao Shun stood still, unaffected and unmoved!

Inside the village, Elder Er stroked his beard in admiration. “So talented at such a young age!”

Elder San nodded in agreement. “Following Leader Xiao will definitely bring us more prosperity than staying in these mountains!”

Though leaving their homeland was painful, Xiao Shun had not only solved the eighty-year-old “forbidden Gu technique” problem for their Silvermeadows clan but also promised them a bright future.

Even if they had to leave their home, they were willing.

Moreover, even if Xiao Shun didn’t ask them to follow him to the New School Society, Elder Er and others wouldn’t dare stay here. If they remained, they would surely be discovered by the Gu Clan once they found out their Gu technique had been broken. At that time, there would be no place to hide!

Miao Xiu Yun smiled faintly.

“Hehe, Leader Xiao promised to find us a new place to live.”

Hearing this, Elder Er and others were immediately interested and asked eagerly, “Chief, did Leader Xiao mention where?”

Miao Xiu Yun replied, “Eastbrook, Cliffside.”

“I’ve never heard of it!” Elder Er shook his head.

Patting his shoulder, Elder San said confidently, “No matter what, Meadowfolks prefer living by mountains. Leader Xiao has put much thought into this!”

“It’s more than just thoughtful,” Miao Xiu Yun smiled meaningfully and explained, “Leader Xiao said that Cliffside is where ‘Hanging Flask Inn’ is located. It houses a master and apprentice who are exceptional in Dan Dao and pharmacology. If we settle there, our descendants will surely benefit greatly!”

Witchcraft and medicine have always been intertwined. Although Gu techniques evolved from witchcraft and rely on pharmacology for cultivating Gu insects and herbs. If Silvermeadows could settle at Cliffside, they would complement ‘Hanging Flask Inn’ perfectly.

This was part of Xiao Shun’s initial development plan; he had prepared well in advance.

While Miao Xiu Yun and others were excitedly discussing their new home, Xiao Shun continued his battle.

Nie Jiu Zhong had been knocked away four times by Xiao Shun but still gritted his teeth and fought on with determination not to retreat.

Meanwhile, Miao A Man and Miao Wu desperately attacked Xiao Shun’s back with Gu insects and poisonous mist but achieved little success!

By now, they had realized that Xiao Shun could control Dan Fire.

There was nothing they could do but feel helpless.

As Nie Jiu Zhong launched another attack on Xiao Shun, Miao Wu gave Miao A Man a bitter look.

“Brother, Master Nie is no match for Xiao Shun. Our Gu techniques are ineffective against him. If we continue like this, it won’t end well!”

Miao A Man understood this but had no choice. He shook his head helplessly.

“We are allied with Old School Society. If Master Nie loses, Meadowfolks will fall into New School Society’s hands. Do you want to be controlled?”

Hearing this, Miao Wu voiced his thoughts.

“Silvermeadows has always suppressed us. This is another form of control. Besides, if we join New School Society, Xiao Shun won’t let Silvermeadows dominate. He will mediate and redistribute resources!”

His words made Miao A Man ponder deeply.

Yes! Why didn’t I think of that?

If Xiao Shun wanted to integrate Meadowfolks into New School Society, he would mediate conflicts here.

And mediation means redistributing resources.

This way, they would gain some resources from Silvermeadows without fighting!

The conflicts among Meadowfolks were all about interests.

They had no personal grudges; it was just mutual attacks over the years building some minor feuds.

Now that Xiao Shun wanted Meadowfolks under New School Society’s umbrella, it was an opportunity for resource redistribution.

Realizing this made Miao A Man tempted!

After all, Xiao Shun only wanted Meadowfolks under New School Society’s jurisdiction-not as subordinates!

They would be in a superior-subordinate relationship rather than master-servant relationship.

Thinking this way seemed quite good indeed.

Seeing Miao A Man’s eyes flicker with thoughts, Miao Wu asked eagerly: “Brother, what do you think?”

After nodding heavily several times, Miao A Man spoke up: “Very good! This way Silvermeadows can’t oppress us anymore!”

After a moment of contemplation, Miao Wu reminded: “We should apologize to Xiao Shun now before the fight ends so Silvermeadows can’t criticize us later!”

Without saying anything further, Miao A Man immediately retracted his Gu insects and poisonous mist.

Seeing this gesture from him made Miao Wu follow suit instantly.

Then they both declared loudly: “We are willing to join ‘New School Society’ under Leader Xiao’s leadership!”

Everyone was stunned!

Miao Xiu Yun and Elder Er were caught off guard by their words.

But Xiao Shun wasn’t surprised; he saw it as inevitable!NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

However, Nie Jiu Zhong couldn’t accept such betrayal; he roared furiously: “How dare you betray me?”

Miao A Man glanced indifferently at Nie Jiu Zhong’s contorted face.

“Master Nie, we have no grudge against Leader Xiao or New School Society unlike you Old School Society members do. Aligning ourselves with such powerful allies benefits both our clans.”

Hearing this, Nie Jiu Zhong laughed angrily: “Haha! You’re just cowards afraid of facing Xiao Shun’s strength! Meadowfolks are truly spineless!”

He had traveled thousands of miles from Southeast Old School Society only to be betrayed by allies!

No one could endure such humiliation-especially after losing all elders!
