Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

”No!”

When he heard Xuanyuan Hong utter the words, ”It’s not... out of the question,” the venom in Xuanyuan Qing’s eyes, as he knelt on the ground, was finally and utterly replaced by sheer terror!

He knew his older brother better than anyone!

’He’s a complete madman, a madman!’

Whatever he said he would do, he would do.

’He... he’s really going to kill me!’

In that instant, an overwhelming will to survive suppressed everything else! The King Realm Qi Blood within Xuanyuan Qing’s body erupted, and he shot up from the ground like a spring, struggling to flee into the distance!

However, Xuanyuan Hong just snorted coldly.

He didn’t even turn his head. He just casually reached back and made a grasping motion with one hand.

An invisible yet irresistible force instantly enveloped Xuanyuan Qing.

Xuanyuan Qing, who had just unleashed all his Qi Blood in a desperate attempt to escape, was frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

A King Realm expert like him had not a shred of strength to resist Xuanyuan Hong. He was like a chick seized by the neck by an invisible hand, hoisted forcefully into the air.

”Young Master Hong, stay your hand!”

The expression on Elder Zhao’s face at the side changed drastically. He could no longer remain calm. With a flicker of his figure, he rushed forward to intervene.

No matter what, Xuanyuan Qing was a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan Family, one of the Patriarch’s most favored sons. If he died here, there would be no way for Elder Zhao to explain himself upon his return!

However, Xuanyuan Hong just glanced back at him faintly.

”Hm?”

No extra words, not even an extra expression—just that one simple syllable.

Yet that single sound made Elder Zhao, who was halfway through his charge, freeze stiff. He stopped dead in his tracks, not daring to move an inch closer.

His aged face was filled with conflict and fear. Even though his Cultivation was higher than Xuanyuan Hong’s, he didn’t dare take another step forward!

No one dared to defy the Eldest Young Master of the Xuanyuan Family’s way of doing things. Otherwise...

And just like that, under the horrified gazes of everyone present...

Suspended in mid-air, Xuanyuan Qing let out inhuman, agonizing screams. His body convulsed violently, and the sound of his bones cracking was clearly audible.

The sounds lasted for a good ten seconds before gradually fading away, until all was silent and not a trace of life remained.

Expressionless, Xuanyuan Hong tossed Xuanyuan Qing’s twisted and deformed corpse onto the cold ground as if he were throwing out the trash.

Only after doing all this did he turn around and face Gu Yuexi again.

The face that had been fierce from the act of killing once again became humble and courteous, as if the man who had just strangled his own brother with his bare hands wasn’t him at all.

”Miss Gu, I have done as you asked.”

”With this, will you accept my apology?”

Gu Yuexi’s gaze lingered on the corpse on the ground for a moment before returning to Xuanyuan Hong’s face, her eyes holding a faint, almost imperceptible trace of mockery.

”Whether you’ve done it or not, you know best.”

The smile on Xuanyuan Hong’s face stiffened slightly.

However, Gu Yuexi had already lost interest in speaking another word to him.

Looking at the exhausted Chu Sheng, she couldn’t be bothered to get any more entangled with the man before her. She spoke faintly:

”Take your man and get lost.”

’Get lost?’

The expression on Xuanyuan Hong’s face flickered once more! Within those bottomless eyes, he seemed to be rapidly weighing something, suppressing something.

But in the end, the stiffness on his face melted back into that humble smile.

”In that case, I will take it that Miss Gu has accepted the Xuanyuan Family’s apology.”

”I hope Miss Gu will find an opportunity to visit my Xuanyuan Family.”

”At that time, I, Xuanyuan Hong, will personally welcome you.”

Xuanyuan Hong’s tone sounded like an invitation, but the end of his words carried a subtle, provocative undertone.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a special invitation card shimmering with a faint glow transformed into a streak of light, flying straight toward Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi caught it casually, glanced at it, and put it away.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hong said no more. He turned again and bowed politely to Long Zhanguo in the distance as a sign of farewell.

Next, his icy gaze swept over Zhao Li, who stood to the side with a grim expression.

”Take the body. Let’s go.”

Zhao Li’s body trembled. He hurried forward and picked up Xuanyuan Qing’s corpse from the ground.

He took a single step, then paused as if remembering something. His cloudy old eyes swept over the six Patriarchs in the distance, who were caught in a dilemma.

When the six Patriarchs met this gaze, their hearts sank, and a bad feeling rose within them.

Sure enough, Xuanyuan Hong’s voice boomed, echoing throughout the entire Meridian Gate:

”Oh, right. I forgot to mention something.”

”From this day forward, my Xuanyuan Family withdraws from the competition for the Divine Son position. As for the other families, you can figure it out yourselves. Whatever you do from now on has nothing to do with the Xuanyuan Family.”

After speaking, his figure vanished into thin air, as if he had never been there.

「The next moment, atop a barren mountain hundreds of miles away.」

The figures of Xuanyuan Hong and Elder Zhao, who was holding the corpse, reappeared.

Xuanyuan Hong glanced coldly at the ”corpse,” his tone full of disdain and disgust.

”Useless trash. The moment he gets out, he provokes someone he shouldn’t have.”

Elder Zhao was a little confused and said in a low voice, ”Young Master Hong, is it because of the Military Department? They are powerful, but even if all three of their Emperor Realm masters came out, our Xuanyuan Family wouldn’t necessarily...”

”Shut up!”

Xuanyuan Hong cut him off sharply. ”What do you know! The Xuanyuan Family is at a critical juncture and cannot afford the slightest mistake! Hmph, say no more.”

He glanced at Xuanyuan Qing in his arms, who was completely without breath, his eyes devoid of any sympathy.

”If we go back immediately, we can still save this brat’s life.”

”Let’s go.”

...

「Below the Meridian Gate.」

With Xuanyuan Hong’s departure, the remaining six families were left in an awkward position, completely thrown to the wolves.

They looked at each other, their expressions uglier than if they had just eaten shit.

The Xuanyuan Family’s move of pulling the rug out from under them was too ruthless!

They took all the blame, then nonchalantly announced their withdrawal, leaving the mess and the choice entirely to them.

’Now what?’

’Do we still fight?’

’Are you kidding me? Even the Xuanyuan Family chickened out. What do they have to fight with?’

’Didn’t they see the head of the Military Department, the commanders of the four major war zones, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers radiating killing intent standing right there?’

’Continuing to fight would be pure suicide!’

After a long silence, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family was finally the first to step forward and announce with an ashen face:

”My Zhao Family withdraws from the Divine Son competition.”

With the first one leading the way, the rest was easy.

”The Sun Family withdraws from the Divine Son competition.”

”The Zhou Family withdraws from the Divine Son competition.”

”...”
