Chapter 964: Charging into the Huang Family (5)
But before Huang Xie could take a few steps, there was a line that suddenly appeared in the ground in front of him.
"Take another step and see what happens." This voice rang out after the line appeared.
Huang Xie didn't step forward, but waited to see what would appear.
That was because he could see the way that everyone's expressions changed when this voice rang out. At the same time, he was able to recognize this voice and knew who the owner of this voice was.
This was a voice that he had only heard once before, but he wouldn't forget it since it was the most important person in the Huang Family.
He had once wanted to impress this person and rise up in the ranks of the Huang Family, but now…
"Who do you think you are to charge into our Huang Family's territory like this?"
It was a different voice that spoke, but it was also a voice that Huang Xie recognized.
This was a voice that was very hard for him to forget since it was the one that he wanted to take revenge on the most.
But at one point in time, the owner of this voice was the one that he wanted to impress the most.
That was because the owner of this voice was his biological father.
He was the current head of the Huang Family.
When these voices rang out, the guards looked like they were filled with confidence again and raised their weapons to point at Huang Xie. They were even confident enough to come forward and surround him even after what he had done to their comrades before.
That was how much status this group that came out of the Huang Family manor had.
They were the current head and the previous head of the Huang Family.
The previous head was even the ancestor of the Huang Family who had raised the Huang Family to their current position.
So there was no doubt that he had a high status.
In fact, he was in the Peak Qi Condensation Realm, just a step away from reaching the Golden Core Realm.
This kind of cultivation would be respected in any city.
And the ancestor of the Huang Family was the one that had created that line in the ground.
After coming out, the ancestor of the Huang Family didn't say anything as the current head kept berating Huang Xie. But it seemed that he was interested in Huang Xie with the way that he looked at him.
Then all of a sudden, he said, "You have the aura of our Huang Family on you, that means that you're a part of our Huang Family. Why would you do such a thing to your own family?"
The moment that he said this, everyone was shocked.
After all, not a single person had expected the ancestor of the Huang Family to say something like this.
But there wasn't a single person that doubted him since it was the ancestor of the Huang Family that said this. There was no one that was more qualified to say this than the ancestor.
So they all turned to look at Huang Xie with the same shocked looks that had traces of confusion in it.
Huang Xie didn't say anything at first, but he eventually said, "Do you think that I'm part of the Huang Family?"
There were a few people that couldn't help knitting their brows when they heard this since they thought that this voice was familiar. Though even when they tried to recall who this voice belonged to, they just couldn't think of a name to match this voice.
"You bear the blood of our Huang Family, so how are you not part of the Huang Family?" The ancestor of the Huang Family said in a tone that made it seem natural.
Huang Xie slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but they couldn't see this.
There was a tense silence that lingered in the air as everyone waited for Huang Xie's response. In the end, he spoke in a voice that almost seemed like he was teasing them.
"If I am a part of your Huang Family, why would I be doing something like this? I think it's very clear what the situation is."
"Child, you have been misguided. No matter what grievances you have, we are still family. That is a fact that can't be changed." The ancestor of the Huang Family said in a stern voice.
The way that he spoke to Huang Xie was as if he had set himself as Huang Xie's elder and was reprimanding him like an elder would a naughty junior.
In a sense, it was almost as if he was talking down to Huang Xie.
It was just that Huang Xie wasn't in the mood to entertain the ancestor of the Huang Family.
"This isn't a family, this is nothing more than a den of beasts." Huang Xie responded in a calm voice.
The current head of the Huang Family lost his temper at this as he pointed at Huang Xie and roared, "You unfilial descendant! How dare you talk to the ancestor like this?!"
Once he said this, he turned to the ancestor of the Huang Family and said, "Ancestor, please allow your son to teach this unfilial descendant a lesson."
The ancestor of the Huang Family just gave a simple nod in response.
Though under the surface, he was the one that had given the current head of the Huang Family the order to attack Huang Xie.
The ancestor of the Huang Family could see that his words weren't working, so he had resorted to using force against Huang Xie.
That just went to show what kind of person he was.
That just went to show what kind of family the Huang Family was.

Once he received this nod, the current head of the Huang Family dashed forward and drew his sword.
That sword moved at a speed that was faster than any of the other members of the Huang Family that Huang Xie fought, but in front of Huang Xie's eyes, it was still considered slow.
He just simply raised his hand to stop that slash.
As he did, there was a darker green light that appeared in his palm that was raised to stop this sword.
The moment that the green light made contact with the sword, the sword simply snapped in half as if it had been hit with a strong blow.
The current head of the Huang Family had a shocked look on his face when he saw this.
Only Huang Xie had other things to care about.
That was because the moment that he snapped the sword, there was another sword that came at him. This was the ancestor of the Huang Family who had jumped out the moment that Huang Xie clashed with the current head of the Huang Family.
With how quickly he charged, it seemed that he had already expected the current head of the Huang Family to fail. He had even used the current head of the Huang Family as bait just so he could catch Huang Xie off guard.
That was the kind of person he was.
Huang Xie looked at the ancestor of the Huang Family with disgust as he thought to himself, "There really is nothing good about the Huang Family."
Then with his other hand, he punched at the sword that was coming at him.
The ancestor of the Huang Family saw this and revealed a faint smile.
As he did, there was this faint glow that appeared around the sword.
This was more than enough to show that this sword that he used was some kind of artifact.
Only that didn't matter at all.
"Snap!"
With this sound, the same thing happened to the sword of the ancestor of the Huang Family as the sword of the current head. It was cleanly snapped in half, almost as if it was some kind of toy.
But Huang Xie's fist didn't stop there.
It went right into the chest of the ancestor of the Huang Family, knocking the wind out of him and even making him spit out blood.
When he landed, he grabbed his chest and vomited out even more blood, showing just how seriously he had been injured.
This time, he no longer acted like an elder.
This time, there was a trace of fear that was in the eyes of the ancestor of the Huang Family as he looked at Huang Xie.
"What, what did you do?" The ancestor of the Huang Family said in a shaky voice.
Huang Xie didn't answer the question and instead asked, "You want to betray that empire with just this bit of strength? It really is embarrassing."
Right after saying this, he ignored the current head of the Huang Family and started moving towards the ancestor.
When the ancestor saw Huang Xie stepping towards him, his eyes filled with even more fear.
He completely lost the composure that he had previously and scooted back with his butt on the ground.
Seeing the way that Huang Xie approached him put even more pressure on him which finally made the ancestor of the Huang Family lose it.
"Sir envoy, if you don't step in now, it'll all be over! You have to save my life if you want to do anything!"
The ancestor shouted in a way that completely opposed the dignified appearance that he had before.
It seemed that in the Huang Family, they only cared about their own lives.
But then there was a pressure that fell onto Huang Xie that was completely different from all the others that he felt before.
This was the pressure of a real expert that could threaten him.
