Chapter 63: Unification of Wutan CityThe banquet was extremely boring. Apart from people constantly toasting Xiao Yun, nothing much happened. The leaders of other forces also dared only to toast him. The difference in strength and status was so great that they didn't even have a chance to flatter him. Time passed by little by little, and the banquet was gradually coming to an end. When everyone was about to finish the dishes on the round table, Xiao Zhan, whose face was flushed from drinking, suddenly stood up and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. While all the forces in Wutan City are here tonight, our Xiao family has something to discuss with you." Xiao Zhan's words instantly made the originally noisy hall quiet down, and the leaders of those forces looked at each other with a bad feeling. Xiao Zhan said loudly: "Although Wutan City is close to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it has never been able to utilize its resources. The reason is that there are too many voices in Wutan City. Therefore, my Xiao family believes that one voice in Wutan City is enough. What do you think?" After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, the leaders of those forces looked at each other in surprise. They did not expect that the Xiao family was so anxious. Xiao Yun had just returned and they were ready to unify Wutan City. "Patriarch Xiao is right. There are too many voices in Wutan City. We only need one voice. I, Qianyaofang, believe that the Xiao family can take on this important task." Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a black robe and with a big belly stood up and was the first to respond to Xiao Zhan's words. "This old fox was actually overtaken." The leaders of other forces came to their senses and quickly responded. The Xiao family has the support of Dou Wang masters, and the unification of Wutan City is unstoppable. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. And if they can board the big ship of the Xiao family, won't they rise with the tide in the future? "Very good! You are all so tactful, it saves me from having to do anything."
A calm voice resounded in the hall. Xiao Yun stood up and said with a smile, "My Xiao family is not an unreasonable family. If you are willing to join us, you will definitely get some benefits." The ring flashed, and two pills appeared in Xiao Yun's hand. He threw one of the pills to the middle-aged man who had just spoken first, and then said: "This is the fourth-grade pill Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, which can improve the cultivation of a Grand Fighter by one star. Just now, Master Xu was the first to respond, so I rewarded him with one pill. The remaining pill will be given according to contribution." "After joining the Xiao family, some tasks will be issued. Among all of you present, the family that completes the most tasks will get this pill." As soon as Xiao Yun said this, everyone's eyes were fixed on Master Xu. They felt envious and jealous, and regretted why they were not the first to respond. After regretting, their eyes were fixed on the pill in Xiao Yun's hand again. When they returned, they would definitely tell everyone in the family to respond to the Xiao family's call and get the pill. "But if anyone dares to disobey the Xiao family, humph, Hai Lao!" As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, a terrifying chill enveloped the leaders of that group of forces. The biting cold seemed to freeze the blood in their bodies. The next moment, an old man with a white beard appeared beside Xiao Yun. "Okay, Hai Lao, take back your aura, otherwise it would be bad if they all froze to death." Following Xiao Yun's words, Hai Bodong withdrew his aura, thus preventing several weaker people from freezing to death in the hall. "Let me introduce you all. This is Hai Lao, Hai Bodong, with Dou Huang cultivation, and he is a guest official of my Xiao family." Although Xiao Yun's voice was very plain, it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears. "Hai Bodong? It's the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong! The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong who was once one of the top ten strongest men in the Gama Empire. I didn't expect that Master Xiao has the strength to invite him." In the hall, some elderly people heard Hai Bodong's name and instantly recalled it and exclaimed. Even the Xiao family members were shocked and surprised. Although they knew that Xiao Yun said he would ask Hai Lao to protect the Xiao family, they did not expect that he would directly become a guest of the Xiao family. Now, even if Xiao Yun went out to explore the world in the future, no one in the Xiao family would dare to provoke him. After saying this, Xiao Yun didn't say anything else. He waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave. After seeing Xiao Yun's instructions, people from various families said goodbye one after another. Their hearts were burning with excitement, and they were ready to go home and plan how to obtain the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill. Soon, the Xiao family and people from the Mitel Auction House were the only ones left in the hall. Tang Xiao, the person in charge of Mitel Auction House, walked tremblingly to Hai Bodong, bowed respectfully and said, "Elder Hai, you are finally back. Elder Tengshan has been missing you all these years." "That good-for-nothing Mittletenshan? What's his current level of cultivation?" Hai Bodong asked indifferently. "The Great Elder is now a Dou Wang strongman, but of course he is still not as good as you." "Haha, Dou Wang, that loser has been able to cultivate to this level, he is quite hardworking. Go back and send him a message, telling him that I, Hai Bodong, will be back to Jia Ma Holy City to find him in a few days."
"Yes, Mr. Hai, I'll take my leave now." Tang Xiao bowed and then ran back to the Mitre Auction House to prepare to send the message. After seeing everyone else leave, Xiao Zhan and the others quickly approached Xiao Yun and asked excitedly, "Does Hai Lao really want to be a guest of our Xiao family?" "Yes, that's right." Xiao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Although Hai Lao will not stay in the Xiao family permanently, if the Xiao family encounters any problems that cannot be solved, they can send people to the Miter Auction House to find him." Hai Bodong is a very loyal person. As a guest official of the Xiao family, I believe he will not sit idly by if the Xiao family encounters any trouble in the future. "That's great, Mr. Hai. The Xiao family will be in your care in the future." After confirming that Hai Bodong really wanted to serve as a guest of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan bowed to Hai Bodong. "It's okay. Master Xiao also gave me some rewards. I will protect the Xiao family well." Hai Bodong nodded and responded because Xiao Zhan was Xiao Yun's uncle. Xiao Yun looked up at the wall clock and saw that it was almost time for his appointment with Yao Lao. "Uncle, it's getting late. I will go back to practice first. You should also go to bed early." "Hahaha, go ahead, go ahead. I still need to have a few more drinks with the elders!" Xiao Zhan laughed and waved, then turned around and pulled the Great Elder and a few others to drink. He was really happy today. His son's health problem was solved, and the family now had a top-level strongman. The burden that he had been carrying on his shoulders could finally be put down.
