Chapter 252: Exiting the Aristocratic Ranks

owerful attack. He let out a roar as he skyward and then collapsed with no more breath left in him.And the masked man wasn't faring much better, his body covered in dozens of bloody slashes. He was a...[]

Ding dong!

Ling Hao flicked his finger, a gust of strong wind shot out, and Xue Biqian's hairpin fell to the ground with a clang.

"Ling Ling, are you alright" Xue Biqian looked at Ling Hao with tears in her eyes.

Plop!

Xue Zhongrui also arrived at this time, kneeling before Ling Hao, blood still continuously oozing from his mouth.

"Lingling's family, Xue Xue's family is unfortunate, having produced such an unfilial descendant as Xue Zhongkun."

"Xue Xue doesn't ask for anything else, only that Lingling Shuai, in the name of his kindness, spares Qian'er and the rest of the Xue family."

"This matter has nothing to do with Qian'er. She was also used by the sect. Please, Ling Shuai, spare her life."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before his words could even leave his lips, Ling Hao raised his hand and unleashed three gusts of wind, neither too heavy nor too light, into Xue Zhongrui's body.

Wow!

"Don't!" Xue Biqian cried out in pain again: "Dad"

"Your father is deeply poisoned, the toxin is about to attack his heart. If he isn't treated, there is no hope. Big brother is helping your father detoxify!" Xuan Pang explained from the side.

"Ah!" Xue Biqian was slightly taken aback, then kowtowed to Ling Hao again: "Thank you, General Ling, thank you."

"What is the name of your sect" Ling Hao asked.

"In response to Huihui Ling's words, Xue Biqian trembled and replied, 'The heavens shattered.'"

"Broken Sky Sect, not bad!" Ling Hao replied faintly, his pupils condensing into a sharp light.

For ancient martial arts sects to interfere in the secular world is a grave taboo, let alone such a nefarious act. Since the Shattering Heaven Sect dares to do so, they must be prepared to bear all the consequences!

"Those old geezers from the Shattered Heaven Sect are really courting death!" Xuan Pang said in a deep voice. "Big brother, I'll go back to the Xuan Men immediately and bring people to wipe out their entire Shattered Heaven Sect!"

"No need, someone will take care of it!" Ling Hao shook his head.

Then, he took out his phone and sent another message, which was very simple: "Suitian Sect, dismember!"

In a moment, Xue Zhongrui caught his breath and came to Ling Hao's side, kneeling down again.

"Thank you, Xie Lingshuai, for your great kindness. Xue has no way to repay you. From now on, if Lingshuai needs anything, I will do my best, even if it means jumping into boiling water or going through fire."

"Enough with the loyalty act. Just tell me what really happened!" The judge said coldly.

"Alright," Xue Zhongrui took a deep breath and began to speak.

Ten minutes later, he described the whole story in detail, and his guess was close to what Ling Hao had thought.

The Great Xia Dynasty has been passed down for thousands of years, cultivating countless hidden aristocratic families and ancient martial arts sects. To this day, within its borders, there are thousands upon thousands of large and small hidden aristocratic families and sects.

As times change, the weak are eliminated and the strong prevail. Some forces gradually decline while others expand, including some with immense power.

These powerful sects and hidden clans need to constantly expand and develop, which requires a huge amount of resources and wealth. Naturally, many forces will reach out into the mortal world for this.

From a certain perspective, these prominent clans within the territory are vassal families of hidden aristocratic families and sects, continuously providing them with nourishment.

What makes it even more infuriating is that the privileged class, to some extent, is also restricted by national regulations. When the state truly needs them to step forward, they will only need to issue some mandatory directives. Although they may be reluctant deep down, at least on the surface, they will respond.

But hidden families and clans are completely unconstrained by this aspect, they exist outside the rules. When there are benefits, they swarm to them; when the country is in trouble, they vanish without a trace.

So, to talk about national parasites, the forces behind the privileged families are the biggest ones!

The Jianghai Xue clan, backed by the Suitian Sect, has many of its major decisions coming from the sect's instructions.

According to Xue Zhongrui's description, the creation of the Jiang Hai Chamber of Commerce by the four major families in Jiang Hai and the move against the Sihai Group were both ideas from the Suitian Sect. The Xue family was only responsible for carrying them out.

Including this matter today, it was also an order from the Suitian Sect. Xue Zhongrui opposed this matter from the beginning, and for this reason, he had been warned by the Suitian Sect that his position as sect master would be stripped away.

Thereafter, the Suitian Sect approached Xue clan's second-in-command, Zhongkun, who took charge of the whole affair, including Xue Zhunrui's birthday banquet, which was Zhongkun's suggestion.

As for why the Suitian Sect would target Ling Hao, Xue Zhongrui didn't know, he only had a vague guess that it was probably because someone commissioned them to do so.

"The judge is in session!" Ling Hao then spoke.

"Please instruct the marshal!" The judge responded loudly.

The Xue family clan, all individuals related to Xue Zhongkun are to be apprehended and thoroughly investigated. Anyone involved in this matter will be executed! Ling Hao stated solemnly.

"As you wish!" Judge Zheng nodded, then took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Tao.

Ten minutes later, Ling Hao and his companions got into the car and drove toward Yingmen base.

Xue Zhongrui and his daughter's lives were saved, but after this incident, the Xue clan naturally dropped out of the ranks of powerful families. It was difficult enough to keep one-tenth of their family assets.

Just less than two hours after Lin Hao sent out those two messages.

In the eastern territory, amidst a range of towering mountains, a figure in green appeared at the foot of a mountain.

"Suitian Zong!"

Qing Shan raised his head and glanced at the archway a hundred meters away, then spoke softly.

Boom!

The next moment, a sword light shot into the sky, and the archway that had stood for hundreds of years collapsed with a deafening roar.

"Who dared to destroy the gate of my sect!" A roar of anger came from the top of the stone steps.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Next, twenty auras of experts above the Warlord Realm surged into the sky. In the blink of an eye, streaks of afterimages arrived at the gate in a flash.

"Damn you, who are you to run rampant in the Broken Heaven Sect Are you tired of living!" The first person was none other than the sect master of the Broken Heaven Sect.

Half-Step War Emperor!

"From this day forth, the Suitian Sect is removed from the Daxia region!" Qing Shan once again spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Such bold words!" The Sect Master of the Suitian Sect roared, "Then let me see what ability you have to make the Suitian Sect disband!"

"Kill!" The other nineteen warriors of the War Sovereign rank and above roared in unison.

The imposing aura burst forth, instantly shrouding this expanse of nothingness. Countless birds and beasts exploded in death.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

The next second, twenty people simultaneously attacked, their strikes ruthless and aimed at killing their target in one fell swoop.

"A bunch of ants!" Qing Shan spoke again.

The imposing aura on his body surged, his figure flashed, and his wrists kept flipping. A sword energy net covering a radius of one kilometer formed instantly, sweeping everything in its path.

Within the sword's range, all trees and rocks were utterly destroyed. Sand and stones flew everywhere, leaves danced in the wind.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The boundless sword glow was like lightning as it slashed towards the twenty opponents, unstoppable. able to buy this car." Lu Yue followed up and saw Wu Jianqiang give a faint smile."Kid, you better not be too arrogant!" Wu Jianqiang roared, "Push me too far, and I'll definitely kill you all today!...
