Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 37: Chapter 36: What Can You Do to Me?

Within the Meteorite Mountain Range, the mining veins, aside from the large ones controlled by the Three Great Families, all other minor veins were free for the taking, available for anyone to compete over.

Even if the Murong Family disciples had seized eight minor veins, the elders of the Xiao Family couldn’t say much, they could only blame their own disciples for not being skilled enough.

The disciples of the Xiao Family who had come out for training this time were all above the Mortal Realm Fourth Layer, numbering around a hundred or so, each guarding one of ten minor veins.

The Purple Cloud Iron mined would be partially contributed to the family, the rest belonging to the miners themselves.

Of course, now only two remained, the other eight had been seized by the Murong Family.

Moreover, these two were being guarded by Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zimu, and other disciples. The Xiao Family Disciples that originally guarded the other eight veins had already been beaten into severe injuries and were receiving treatment at the Xiao Family’s major vein.

Xiao Yi led the remaining twenty able disciples, quickly heading towards the eight veins that were originally theirs.

”Murong bastards, get the hell out here.”

Xiao Zhuang couldn’t wait to curse out loud.

Within the minor veins, the Murong Family disciples were ardently mining Purple Cloud Iron. Hearing a loud curse, they all became enraged and walked out with an air of arrogance.

”Oh, it’s the Xiao Family’s riffraff again. You actually dare to come back? Looking for death?”

”Eh, isn’t that the useless Xiao Yi? How has he come to the Meteorite Mountain Range?”

The tone of the Murong Family disciples was filled with disdain and mockery.

Xiao Yi’s face turned cold as he immediately made his move.

Boom, boom, boom...

A series of thuds rang out, and in an instant, more than ten Murong Family disciples were sent flying, coughing up blood and fainting on the spot.

”Tie them up and take them away,” Xiao Yi ordered.

The Xiao Family disciples eagerly rubbed their hands together, ready to take their revenge on the Murong Family disciples.

The Murong Family disciples weren’t too numerous, so after being scattered across the different minor veins, there were only around ten guarding each one.

After half a day, Xiao Yi, along with Xiao Zhuang and others, had taken back the original eight minor veins, capturing more than eighty disciples of the Murong Family.

With over eighty people tied up, the scene was quite impressive.

This must have been the most humiliating moment in history for the Murong Family disciples.

”If you Xiao Family trash have any sense, you’ll release us quickly. Otherwise, you’ll pay,” a few stubborn Murong Family disciples cursed angrily.

Xiao Zhuang and the others swung their palms and slapped them, leaving their faces swollen and bruised.

Remembering the other injured Xiao Family disciples, Xiao Zhuang and the rest did not hold back.

On the side, Xiao Yi frowned because among these captured Murong Family disciples, Murong Xuan and others were not seen. Murong Qianjun was also missing, probably at the Murong Family’s vein.

”Let’s go, to the Murong Family’s vein,” Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Zhuang and the others nodded, kicked the Murong Family disciples, and shouted angrily, ”Didn’t you hear our Young Master’s orders? Stand up, all of you, or else you’ll meet the whip.”

The Xiao Family disciples herded the Murong Family people like cattle.

.....

After half an hour, Xiao Yi and his group reached the Murong Family’s vein.

Indeed, Murong Xuan and the others who had escaped were here.

Murong Xuan gasped as he looked at the mighty crowd in front of him, his clan disciples all tied up.

”Xiao, Xiao Yi, what are you doing? Release my clansmen at once,” Murong Xuan shouted angrily.

Xiao Yi couldn’t be bothered to argue, instructing Xiao Zhuang, ”Tie them up too.”

Murong Xuan and the others had already been injured by Xiao Yi and were now no match for Xiao Zhuang and his group.

”Let’s go, onto the next vein.”

...

When they reached the Murong Family’s second small mining vein, without a doubt, Xiao Yi took action. He knocked down more than a dozen Murong Family Disciples guarding the vein and then Xiao Zhuang tied them up.

Looking at the over one hundred Murong Family Disciples before him, Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, walked toward Murong Xuan, and asked coldly, ”How many disciples does your Murong Family actually have in the Meteorite Mountain Range?”

”Hmph.” Murong Xuan glanced at Xiao Yi with a cold stare and disdainfully turned his head away.

With a ’smack’, Xiao Zhuang slapped him across the face, ”Deaf? Didn’t you hear our Young Master asking you a question?”

”Scumbag.” Murong Xuan felt the burning pain on his cheek and immediately cursed loudly.

Murong Xuan had quite a reputation in Purple Cloud City, and now being slapped in public was something that made him furious.

”Xiao Zhuang, you wait. This slap, I, Murong Xuan, will surely return it tenfold one day,” Murong Xuan glared at Xiao Zhuang with venomous eyes.

’Smack’, another slap flew.

But this time, it was Xiao Yi who struck, and he hit even harder.

Murong Xuan, who was quite handsome to begin with, sporting a slick head of hair, now had his handsome face swollen like a pig’s head.

”You...” Murong Xuan’s eyes burst with fire, ”Xiao Yi, don’t push people too far. Doing such excessively vulgar acts to Lady Jiao’er, and now you resort to brute force, attempting retaliation against the Murong Family’s disciples.”

”Hmph, once we untie these ropes, these more than a hundred Murong Family Disciples will grind your bones to dust.”

”Right... Kill Xiao Yi.”

”Turn that little waste into bone dust.”

Murong Xuan was truly malicious, his words igniting the anger of the other Murong Family Disciples, causing the entire place to burst into curses against Xiao Yi.

”Heh,” Xiao Yi ignored them, chuckled faintly, ”Grind my bones to dust? It’s clearly you who spread rumors, framing me unjustly, and having the audacity to accuse the victim first. Well then.”

”Now I’ll tell you openly, Lady Jiao’er was indeed tainted by me, and now I intend to cripple you all, what can you do to me?”

Using his True Qi, Xiao Yi amplified his voice dozens of times, echoing throughout the entire area.

Especially that phrase ’what can you do to me?’ It was like a loud slap, leaving the Murong Family Disciples speechless.

”Hmph, in any case, taking all of you more than a hundred people is nothing but a burden. Xiao Zhuang, if they don’t behave, just bury them on the spot,” Xiao Yi’s voice carried an unhidden murderous intent.

”Right,” Xiao Zhuang was not someone who feared trouble.

”You... you dare to kill us?” Murong Xuan’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe it.

”See if I dare or not,” Xiao Yi replied with a faint smile.

That casually indifferent smile looked ordinary, but in the eyes of Murong Xuan and others, it was more ferocious than a demon’s smirk, colder and more sinister.

”No... don’t...” Murong Xuan panicked immediately.

”I’ll ask you one more time, exactly how many disciples does your Murong Family have in the Meteorite Mountain Range?” Xiao Yi asked coldly.

”About a hundred or so, more or less the same as your Xiao Family,” Murong Xuan quickly answered honestly this time.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi frowned and said, ”So you’re saying, all the Murong Family disciples are now bound by me?”

”Uh, yeah,” although Murong Xuan felt humiliated that all his family’s disciples had been tied up, he answered truthfully.

”What about Murong Qianjun?” Xiao Yi asked.

Xiao Yi had been wondering why he hadn’t seen Murong Qianjun.

”Uh, that... I don’t know,” Murong Xuan said.

”Still dare to lie, hmph, Xiao Zhuang, bury him,” Xiao Yi shouted angrily.

”Alright,” Xiao Zhuang walked over fiercely with a shovel, ready to start digging.

”I... I’m not lying, ah,” Murong Xuan became frantic, ”Brother Qianjun... he... he was still here a few days ago, now I don’t know where he’s gone, I really don’t know, ah.”

Xiao Yi watched Murong Xuan’s expression, which didn’t seem to be lying, and fell into silent doubt.
