The Crazy Son-In-Law

Originally, Xiao Shun thought that after his initial success at the Sundown Bazaar, his journey into the mountains would be smooth.

But now it seemed he had overestimated his luck.

As he pondered, footsteps gradually approached.

Judging by the sound, the distance between them was less than a hundred meters.

“Sigh!”

With a helpless sigh, Xiao Shun slowly stood up and turned to look in a certain direction, appearing calm and composed.

Soon, five figures appeared in the clearing ahead.

These people were dressed in white robes, the unique attire of the Silvermeadows clan.

After glancing at the five people, Xiao Shun smiled and said, “What brings you here so late at night?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Xiuyun stepped forward and questioned sternly.

“What is your purpose here?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Hearing this, Xiao Shun’s smile deepened. “The mountain scenery is beautiful and the air is pleasant. I’m here to enjoy myself.”

Of course, he had no intention of revealing his true purpose for being here. The spiritual vein was too important to let anyone know about it.

Moreover, Xiao Shun still wasn’t sure if the spiritual vein marked by his master was the same place where Silvermeadows and others were mining raw stones.

“Stop playing dumb with us. We came out tonight specifically for you. We initially planned to hand you over to Old School Society in exchange for resources, but now we can’t let you live!” an elder suddenly shouted.

They had originally intended to capture Xiao Shun and trade him with Old School Society. But now suspecting that he knew about the location, these leaders of Silvermeadows decided to kill him instead. The place was more important than any resources because they feared punishment from their “masters.”

Seeing their hostile expressions, Xiao Shun became suspicious. They initially wanted to hand me over to Old School Society, but now they want to kill me. Did something change?

A thought suddenly struck him. Could they have discovered my purpose for entering the mountains and want to kill me to protect the spiritual vein?

Xiao Shun’s mind was always meticulous; he quickly deduced a conclusion from a few clues.

At this moment, Miao Ruohu also arrived. The six experts formed a circle, trapping Xiao Shun in the middle.

Surrounded by six Gu technique masters, each at least at the level of a quasi-master, Xiao Shun felt immense pressure. The situation was more troublesome than facing six Anterior Heaven realm cultivators because Gu technique practitioners were notoriously difficult to deal with.

“No matter what, we must eliminate him tonight!” Miao Xiuyun glanced at the others and quickly formed a hand seal.

His fingers moved incredibly fast. As soon as he finished speaking, a dense black fog began to seep from his body. The fog was even darker than the night itself, looking extremely eerie.

The others didn’t dare delay and quickly used their own techniques. In an instant, Xiao Shun was enveloped in several layers of black fog.

A faint blue glow appeared within the pitch-black poisonous fog as Xiao Shun activated his protective shield and charged towards Miao Ruohu first.

The battle officially began at that moment.

Facing six Gu technique masters, Xiao Shun chose to defeat them one by one. Miao Ruohu was the weakest among them, so he decided to take him out first.

In a flash of movement, Xiao Shun’s slender figure appeared before Miao Ruohu. He swiftly aimed a sword finger at Miao Ruohu’s abdomen.

Seeing this, Miao Ruohu panicked and called for help from a short and stout elder beside him.

“Help me!”

His life Gu had been injured by Xiao Shun’s silver needles last night and hadn’t recovered yet, leaving him unable to protect himself at this critical moment!

The elder wouldn’t just watch their young master get harmed. He threw a jar towards Xiao Shun with a flick of his wrist.

The jar shattered near Xiao Shun, releasing countless Gu insects that flew towards him.

Faced with an overwhelming number of insects, Xiao Shun had no choice but to temporarily abandon Miao Ruohu and strike at the swarm with his palm.

“Buzz!”

Violent energy burst from his palm, scattering the insects. But before he could catch his breath, they regrouped and flew towards him again.

Seeing his surprised expression, the elder laughed.

“Haha! My ‘Ten Thousand Insect Gu’ isn’t afraid of your Arcane Vigor!”

Ignoring his opponent’s taunts, Xiao Shun stepped back to distance himself from the insects. Then he opened his palm, summoning a pale blue flame.

“Dan Fire!”

The elders were surprised but quickly masked their expressions with mockery.

“Haha! Dan Fire might work against ordinary Gu practitioners but not against us Gu masters!”

With that said, the elder’s body shook as he formed hand seals rapidly. The controlled insects emitted poisonous mist forming a protective barrier around them.

Xiao Shun didn’t have time to observe this barrier because he suddenly heard a whistling sound behind him. He dodged just in time as an attack grazed his shoulder and continued forward before turning back towards him again.

Seeing this, an elder with a black headscarf sneered.

“Haha! Once my Golden Cicada locks onto you, you’re doomed!”

With his words echoing in the air, two more powerful Gu insects joined the fray. The other two elders also released their life Gu insects!

Suddenly facing four life Gu insects from four Gu masters simultaneously put Xiao Shun in great danger despite his protective shield. But then he did something unexpected-he removed his shield and pushed Dan Fire into his Dantian!

“Haha! This kid wants to commit suicide!”

“Facing four Gu masters? Suicide seems reasonable!”

“Indeed! Melting one’s Dantian with Dan Fire is quicker than dying from Gu poison.”

“The Old School Society must be incompetent if they were bested by such trash.”

The elders mocked Xiao Shun’s unusual action with disdainful expressions on their faces. After all, who would dare put Dan Fire into their Dantian unless seeking death?

But in the next second-a sudden change occurred!

A scorching wave of energy erupted from within Xiao Shun’s body as he became enveloped in a pale blue light screen.
