"Thud"
In a courtyard, a middle-aged man fell to the ground in a state of utter disarray, his face covered in blood.
"Aoling, you are disrespecting the authority of the head of the Aojia family!"
The middle-aged man wiped the blood from his face and shouted angrily at the girl in front of him.
This middle-aged man was Aotian's father, Aojia family head Aotian, and standing before Aotian was none other than Aoling.
Without the obstruction of the Masked Individuals, Aoling's speed had undoubtedly increased significantly. Upon arriving at Aojia, she specifically demanded to see Aotian. However, upon learning that Aotian was not at Aojia but had gone out to travel, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Encouraged by her father Ao Gong and her two younger brothers Ao Yu and Aofeng, Aoling directly confronted Aotian, forcing him to step down and hand over the position of family head to Ao Gong.
Naturally, Aotian would not allow this, and a battle became inevitable. Although Aoling's cultivation level was not as high as Aotian's due to limited training time, the members she brought from Azure Cloud Sect were all elites. In particular, Liu Yue was a genuine Spirit Realm Martial Artist.
Aotian, who was only at Half-Step Human Spirit Realm, was no match for Liu Yue. With a single palm strike from Liu Yue, he was sent flying, resulting in him falling to the ground and continuously spitting blood.
Upon hearing Aotian's furious roar, a sarcastic smile spread across Aoling's face as she coldly replied:
"Disrespect your authority? If you do not relinquish the position of head of the Aojia family today, I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!"
Hearing Aoling's words caused the anger within Aotian to surge uncontrollably. He bellowed:
"I'll fight you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aotian lunged at Aoling like a swift leopard, gathering powerful Mystical Energy in his palm.
Seeing Aotian's fierce attack, Aoling remained unmoved, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Fight? What qualifications do you have to compete with us, you worthless trash?!"
Liu Yue appeared in front of Aoling and calmly said to Aotian.
Then, with a single palm strike, Liu Yue unleashed an astonishing wave of Mystical Energy towards Aotian.
In an instant, a long-lasting force surged through the air and struck Aotian fiercely. Aotian was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing into the nearby courtyard wall.
Outside the courtyard wall stood a dense crowd of Aojia members. Ao Gong, Ao Yu, and Aofeng were prominently positioned at the forefront.
However, when these Aojia members looked at the twitching Aotian, none of them stepped forward to help; instead, they only mocked him, seemingly ridiculing the head of the Aojia for his arrogance.
In contrast, when the Aojia members gazed at Aoling, their eyes were filled with admiration, as if she were the female king of hell controlling their lives.
Even her father, Ao Gong, was held in awe by them. In their minds, it seemed that there was no longer a head of the family named Aotian; only Ao Gong remained.
Aotian looked at those who used to flatter him but now dared not move, feeling a deep sense of desolation.
"Ah, how fickle is the world..." Aotian glanced at the crowd and murmured.
"Aotian 'Uncle,' you should just hand over the position of head of the family. You wouldn't want to risk your life for it, would you?"
Aoling slowly approached Aotian and spoke from a position of superiority.
Aotian looked at his "niece" and felt a wave of powerlessness, but he still firmly replied:
"No! Your family has ill intentions. If Aojia is handed over to you, it will surely decline!"
Aoling's Liu Mei couldn't help but frown slightly, clearly surprised by Aotian's stubbornness. Then, as if she thought of something, a mysterious smile appeared on her lips as she arrogantly said:
"Don't worry. As long as you hand over the position of head of the family to my father, the Azure Cloud Sect will be a solid backing for Aojia; no one will be able to touch it!"
The surrounding members of Aojia clearly heard Aoling's words and immediately erupted in an uproar. They understood very well what it would mean for them if Azure Cloud Sect truly became Aojia's backing.
Azure Cloud Sect is the foremost power within Fengyun Nation, and almost no one dares to openly provoke it. If Azure Cloud Sect becomes Aojia's support, it undoubtedly signifies a tremendous rise in Aojia's status.
The other two families in Ning City would likely have to show utmost respect upon seeing the members of Aojia.
Instantly, the members of Aojia were stirred, with some even calling out to Aotian:
“Aotian, you should step down; the position of family head is no longer suitable for you!”
“That's right, Aotian, you should yield the position to someone more capable. If Second Master (Ao Gong) becomes the family head, Aojia will surely reach new heights!”
“Indeed, with Second Master as the head, Aojia will not decline but instead grow stronger…”
More and more members of Aojia began urging Aotian to step down.
Upon hearing this, Aotian's face darkened increasingly, and despair gradually filled his heart.
“Aotian, you should step down; I will lead Aojia to greater heights, while you are merely holding back its development!”
Ao Gong stepped forward and shouted at Aotian, his face filled with arrogance, exuding a sense of triumph typical of a petty person who has gained an advantage.
The Ao Yu brothers also wore smug expressions, as if they were the best in the world:
“Aotian, you and your son are a disgrace to Aojia. You can't even protect your own woman; what qualifications do you have to be the family head?!”
The Ao Yu brothers clearly looked down on Aotian, directly calling him by name, which was undoubtedly a great disrespect. However, with their older sister backing them up, they indeed had some grounds for their arrogance.
Moreover, the words of the Ao Yu brothers struck Aotian like a heavy hammer, causing his eyes to redden with emotion.
Years ago, when his wife was forcibly taken away by someone named Willow Demon, Aotian was heartbroken, and this incident undoubtedly left a scar in his heart. Now, the Ao Yu brothers are using this matter to attack Aotian, striking at the deepest pain within him.
"Aotian, we have been blood brothers for decades; today I won't make it difficult for you! Take your things and get out of Aojia, and don't let me see you again!" Ao Gong coldly shouted at Aotian.
"Hmph, the Azure Cloud Sect has become increasingly overbearing in recent years, even meddling in other people's family affairs?" Suddenly, a cold laugh echoed through the courtyard.
Upon hearing this voice, the members of Aojia were instantly in an uproar. Clearly, they did not expect that someone in Fengyun Nation would dare to provoke the Azure Cloud Sect.
Everyone's gaze slowly shifted toward the source of the voice.
They saw a middle-aged man standing there holding a little girl's hand, and that voice had come from him.
Behind the middle-aged man stood nearly a hundred burly men, each with a wolf head emblem wrapped around their arms.
They were the Adventure Team, and that wolf head represented the Wolf Fang Adventure Team.
Indeed, the middle-aged man who spoke was Xiao Ya, the captain of the Wolf Fang Adventure Team. The little girl he was holding was none other than his daughter, Xiao Hong'er.
"It’s you?"
When Aoling saw Xiao Ya's face, she immediately spoke coldly.
Xiao Ya was not unfamiliar to the members of Aojia. During the Aotian Family Annual Meeting, he had offended the Azure Cloud Sect to protect Aotian, which made him memorable to all members of Aojia.
Of course, some remembered Xiao Ya out of gratitude, some out of resentment, and others out of curiosity.
Aoling undoubtedly remembered Xiao Ya out of resentment.
"Aoling, treating Aotian like this, aren't you afraid he will come back to trouble you?!" Xiao Ya glanced at the rather miserable-looking Aotian, anger flashing in his eyes as he shouted at Aoling.
The two brothers laughed heartily after hearing Xiao Ya's words, not waiting for Aoling to speak.
"That useless person better never come back; otherwise, we will make his end a hundred times more miserable than Aotian's! A thousand times!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian immediately shouted at Xiao Ya, "Brother Xiao Ya, please go find Aotian and ensure he never returns to Aojia!"
Ao Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he kicked Aotian on the shoulder.
With a crack, the sound of a bone breaking echoed. Soon after, Aotian's piercing scream resonated in everyone's ears.
"Stop!" Xiao Ya roared, a powerful wave of Mystical Energy surged from his body.
Ao Yu intended to continue kicking Aotian but halted when he sensed the overwhelming Mystical Energy emanating from Xiao Ya. He could feel the chilling killing intent radiating from Xiao Ya; if he truly kicked down, he would likely face a storm-like attack from this Wolf Fang Adventure Team leader.
He had no confidence in being able to withstand such an attack, so he retracted his foot.
"Wow! A small Ning City actually has a Half-Step Human Spirit Realm warrior; interesting!" Liu Yue remarked softly after sensing Xiao Ya's powerful Mystical Energy.
Clearly, since returning from the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range, Xiao Ya had made significant progress in his cultivation, advancing from Innate Peak to Half-Step Human Spirit Realm.
"Aunt Yue, this person is annoying me; let's take care of him!"
Aoling lightly frowned at Liu Mei and said coldly.
Liu Yue nodded in response, then waved his sleeve. A powerful Mystical Energy shot from his sleeve towards Xiao Ya's chest.
In an instant, a strong sense of danger enveloped Xiao Ya. He felt the hair on his body stand on end; although the Mystical Energy directed at him was not overwhelming, it instilled an unparalleled sense of crisis.
He could not retreat; Hong'er was right beside him. If he retreated, it could potentially harm Hong'er!
Xiao Ya glanced at Xiao Hong'er beside him and quickly pushed her aside.
Then, he faced the dangerous Mystical Energy head-on.
"Boom!"
Liu Yue's Mystical Energy struck Xiao Ya's arm, and immediately, Xiao Ya felt a surge of blood and energy churning within him.
A mouthful of bright red blood violently erupted from Xiao Ya's mouth...
