The Crazy Son-In-Law

The leader of the Old School Society held a prestigious and influential position among martial artists.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Nie Jiuchong became famous at a young age and then joined the Old School Society. Starting from the lowest ranks, it took him over thirty years to reach his current esteemed status, revered by thousands.

Yet, such a prominent figure who had roamed the martial world for decades met his demise today at the hands of the Meadowfolk, killed by the combined efforts of two master gu (sorcery) practitioners.

Should this news spread, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar and shake the nation’s martial arts community. The duo responsible for poisoning Nie Jiuchong, Miao Aman and Miao Wu, would certainly be resented by the Old School Society.

However, they were not concerned about this at the moment.

“Miao Aman said, ‘Leader Xiao, Bronzemeadows pledges loyalty to you!'”

Miao Wu nodded in agreement, not to be outdone.

“And me from Redmeadows!”

Xiao Shun, without uttering a word, continued to gaze motionlessly at the tragic corpse of Nie Jiuchong.

After a long silence, he sighed helplessly, “Alas, those who live unjustly will ultimately destroy themselves.”

With that, Xiao Shun turned to Miao Aman and Miao Wu, nodding, “The New School Society welcomes your membership!”

Hearing this, the two leaders of the Miao clan breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xiao Shun agreed to their joining, even if the Old School Society sought revenge, the New School Society would stand by and help the gu practitioners fight back.

“You have killed Leader Nie today; the Old School Society will certainly not let this go!” Huang Shan struggled to his feet and roared at Miao Aman.

“Hmph, he brought this upon himself!” retorted Miao Wu. “If it weren’t for my using the ‘Solidifying Gu’ for protection earlier, I might have been the one to die. Since Nie Jiuchong wanted to kill me, he can’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Indeed, initially, Miao Wu had not planned on killing Nie Jiuchong, given his status.

But then again, if Miao Wu hadn’t used the “Seven Extremes Gu” to ambush him, both he and Miao Aman would have died under his blade.

It was a simple choice between their death or his.

Faced with Miao Wu’s rebuttal, Huang Shan was left speechless, merely glancing over the many Meadowfolks with a face full of raging fury.

“Just take Nie Jiuchong’s body and leave,” said Xiao Shun indifferently.

Knowing they were outmatched and that further conflict might lead to their complete defeat today, the elders of the Old School Society, including Huang Shan, swallowed their pride and left Meadowfolk with Nie Jiuchong’s body.

Watching their retreating figures, Xiao Shun knew that the ultimate showdown between the New School Society and the Old School Society was imminent.

Although Nie Jiuchong had not died by his hand today, the furious Old School Society would inevitably direct their wrath toward him, leading to a relentless conflict.

As he pondered, Miao Aman suddenly spoke up, “Leader Xiao, by killing Nie Jiuchong here tonight, the Old School Society will surely seek retribution. We hope for your support then!”

“Now that you are members of the New School Society, I will certainly not stand by as the Old School Society targets you. I will take action when the time comes,” Xiao Shun said slowly.

Relieved by his words, Miao Aman nodded, “With Leader Xiao’s assurance, we are at ease!”

Looking into the dense night, Xiao Shun said to himself, “Tonight, you all should return to your villages first. We will discuss other matters tomorrow.”

Then, Miao Aman, along with a heavily injured Miao Wu and a group of gu practitioners, left.

Xiao Shun then walked back to Silvermeadows.

“Miao Xiuyun approached with a worried expression, “Leader Xiao, such a major incident tonight will likely provoke a swift retaliation from the Old School Society!”

Xiao Shun chuckled lightly, “It’s nothing serious. The conflict between the New School Society and the Old School Society has been ongoing for a long time; it’s about time for it to end!”

“The Old School Society has been developing in this country for a long time and has many talented individuals. But our New School Society is just starting. If a final battle were to erupt at this time, could we win?”

At this, Miao Xiuyun’s face grew increasingly troubled. “Although Leader Xiao is powerful, I’ve heard that the leader of the Old School Society is not an easy opponent. Before he went into seclusion, his cultivation had already reached the Anterior Heaven. If ten years have passed, he might…”

He had met this significant figure a few times and highly recognized his cultivation level. After so many years, the opponent’s current cultivation level must have reached an awe-inspiring stage.

Xiao Shun had heard of this major figure behind the scenes during his time as a hall master in the Old School Society, but he wasn’t overly concerned about it.

“Chief Miao, you need not worry. I will personally handle him when the time comes. As for the remaining three hall masters of the Old School Society, that’s where you Meadowfolks’ chiefs come in!”

After pondering for a while, Miao Xiuyun shook his head, “I’m afraid it won’t work. I can only handle one hall master with my strength, while Miao Aman and Miao Wu must team up to deal with another, and there are still three hall masters left in the Old School Society!”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun smiled, “Hehe, I didn’t say we are going to wage a full-scale war against the Old School Society. We just need to defeat them one by one!”

With the current strength of the New School Society, waging a full-scale war against the Old School Society would be unwise, given the substantial gap between them. The Old School Society has been managing the country’s martial arts realm for many years and commands a strong force.

However, the New School Society has just started making its presence felt, and its overall strength is clearly inferior to its opponent. Thus, the best strategy now is to first defeat the four divisions of the Old School Society one by one, then lead the entire army directly into the heart of the enemy!

“I think the southeastern Old School Society is headless right now. If we strike now, we could easily take over that area!” Miao Xiuyun mused thoughtfully.

“Chief Miao and I think alike. As one of the four major branches, with Nie Jiuchong’s death, the southeastern Old School Society will surely become disorganized. If we choose to attack now, taking this strategic high ground will allow us to contend with the other three major branches!” Xiao Shun’s eyes twinkled.

Miao Xiuyun inquired, “Leader Xiao, when do you plan to act?”

“Tomorrow I will arrange this matter, have ‘Apex Academy’ dispatch people in advance, and then Chief Miao and the other two chiefs will lead a group of Gu art experts to set out and take down the southeastern Old School Society at once!” Xiao Shun stated unequivocally.

Nodding emphatically, Miao Xiuyun’s tone was resolute, “Leader Xiao, you have shown great favor to my Silvermeadows tribe, and we will certainly not let you down. We will do our utmost to help you take down the southeastern Old School Society!”

Since Xiao Shun had lifted the “Taboo Gu Art” from the Silvermeadows tribe, the people of this clan had been immensely grateful, especially Miao Xiuyun, the chief!

Now that he had been assigned a task, he was naturally going to execute it with all his heart.

Moreover, with his strength, leading the other Meadowfolk to take down the leaderless southeastern Old School Society was not too difficult a task.

“It’s getting late; let’s head back and rest!”

Patting Miao Xiuyun’s shoulder, Xiao Shun turned and walked towards a small white house not far away.

Miao Xiuyun did not follow him back to his residence but quickly walked towards Elder Er and others not far away.
