Into The Sky

A cold wind blew and snow flew everywhere.

At this moment, the Little Heaven Manor of the Northern Lands, the Xu Family, had fallen into winter just like this.

In the main hall of the Xu family, there were seven neatly arranged corpses. The Xu family's patriarch, Xu Liyang, was sitting on top, quietly watching these seven corpses.

These were the last seven elders of the Xu Family. These seven were top experts, and now they had all died. This meant that the Xu Family had begun to decline, not because they were green and weak, but rather because they were weak.

However, all the experts of the Xu family's older generation had died in these eighteen years. The geniuses of the younger generation were not enough to support such a huge family!

The Xu family had exhausted all their energy!

"Patriarch Xu, I said earlier that you would give Xu Chen to us. Have you considered your decision?" In front of the seven corpses stood a white-crowned, white-clothed youth with an extraordinary appearance.

Xu Liyang's face was so dark that water could be seen dripping from it. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he asked, "You want the person?"

"Don't the Four Great Empires want to kill us all?"

"I can only blame myself for being too cautious. If I had discovered this earlier, even if my Xu family had perished, I would have still made things difficult for your four great Heaven Palaces!" Xu Liyang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he angrily smacked the armrest of his chair away with his palm!

"Leader Xu, do not be angry. The elders of the Xu family were not killed by our four Heavenly Palaces. I hope that Patriarch Xu will not misunderstand …" The youth said with a smile.

"Enough, now that things have reached such a stage, what else do you have to hide?" Xu Liyang angrily flicked his sleeves: "The Xu family's elders are all dead, and the Xu family also dares to fight the four heavenly families to the death!"

"Ha ha!" When the youth heard Xu Liyang's words, he laughed heartily with the same expression on his face. He walked over to the window and opened it, letting out a wave of cold air.

The lobby instantly became cool, but no one cared about that.

The youth looked out at the snowy scenery and could not help but sigh. "Today's snowfall is truly beautiful."

"Could it be that Patriarch Xu is going to let the blood flow in rivers in this pure white snow today?"

"The Xu family's master is a Divine Aperture Realm expert. Could it be that the house master will only send me to discuss matters related to the Xu family's master?"

"Does Patriarch Xu think that our four Heavenly Palaces have plotted for so many years just to have the Xu Family become our vassal force and risk becoming enemies with the Xu Family whose connections are spread throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Continent?"

The youth's tongue was like a spring as he explained the fierce relationship in one breath. However, what awaited him was Xu Liyang's decisiveness.

"What does it have to do with me!" Xu Liyang snorted coldly.

"If Patriarch Xu does not wish for the Xu family to become a river of blood and become a vassal force of the Four Great Heavenly Palaces, then I request that you hand Xu Chen over to the Four Great Heavenly Palaces!" After finishing his words in a single breath, the youth threatened Mo Yu, going all out to achieve his goals.

It wasn't hard to tell from his words that what he said was true, and there was no need to question it!

"Humph! You can't take her away, and the Xu Family won't become a vassal of the Four Great Heavenly Palaces!"

"All of you, scram!" As Xu Liyang listened to his words, he thought back to all the tragic deaths of the elders of the Xu Family that had appeared in his mind. The anger in his heart was uncontrollable!

"Go back and tell those people behind you that our Xu Clan will never lower our heads to you. Those who dare to even take half a step into our Xu Clan will be killed without mercy!"

"Do not use the Xu Clan as a decoration, or else you will pay a heavy price!"

"Patriarch Xu, is that really the case?" When the youth saw Xu Liyang's determination, his expression became heavy.

In the eyes of the youth, although Xu Chen had once possessed ten divine meridians, his divine meridians had been destroyed as soon as he was born. He would never be able to cultivate again in his entire life.

Even in these ten years, with Xu Chen's talent, he had built up countless connections for the Xu family in the East Xuan Continent. It could be said that Xu Chen had contributed greatly to the Xu family's success today.

However, he was only eighteen years old this year. Back then, the number one genius doctor of the Eastern Xuan Continent had already declared that he would not live past twenty years. Xu Chen could only live for two years!

If that was the case, why would Xu Chen, who only had a lifespan of two years, be needed to protect the Xu Family? However, the youth had still underestimated the courage of the Xu Family's Patriarch.

"If you can really use me to protect the Xu family, then I'll go with you!" Just as the situation came to a standstill, a maid in a white glass dress came over with the help of a blind youth with a white jade belt tied to his eyes.

He was Xu Chen, the young man with ten Divine Veins who once shook the entire Eastern Xuan Continent. He was a rare genius that only appeared once in a million years!

One must know that in the East Peak Mainland, just one Divine Veins could be cultivated, and four Divine Veins were like the existence of geniuses. A cultivator could only have ten at most, but Xu Chen had once reached his limit on the number of Divine Veins.

If he had not been designed by others to destroy the Divine Veins, Xu Chen would definitely be the person at the peak of the East Xuan Continent in the future!

With one hand covering the sky, no one could defeat him!

Unfortunately, Xu Chen's Divine Veins had been destroyed, his body had been poisoned, and the fire poison had blinded his eyes. In another two years, the fire poison would have broken out …

"Chen'er, what are you doing here?" Xu Liyang did not expect that Xu Chen would come here at this time.

Xu Liyang felt a deep sense of guilt regarding Xu Chen. His birth had been snatched away by someone, so no matter if it was his father or the head of the Xu Family, he had to shoulder the responsibility of losing a genius son.

Moreover, everything he had done for the Xu family all these years was seen by everyone. No matter what, Xu Liyang wanted to protect his son!

"Warm Jade, help me to go over and take a look at the Elders." Xu Chen did not reply, as if he had not heard his father's words. He only lightly patted the maid who was supporting him as he walked towards the seven corpses in the hall.

Although Xu Chen couldn't see, he could still touch that cold and stiff face with his hand. The elders of the Xu family were all very old.

Protecting the Xu Clan for the rest of his life, yet not being able to have a peaceful ending. Xu Chen found it hard to describe how he was currently feeling. Perhaps this was what a clan was like!

However, the four Heavenly Palaces had plotted for him for so many years, killing off all the elders of the Xu family!

Xu Chen's heart was full of guilt, but what could he do? He didn't have the Divine Veins, so what if his talent was great? He was blind, and couldn't even shed tears.

"Father, the elders did not die for the Xu family. They died for me. I want to protect the Xu family on their behalf. That way, they can rest in peace." Xu Chen carefully rearranged the corpses of the elders, covering them one by one.

"Father, I hope you can forgive me. This is also my own wish, and also the last time."

"I won't let them take you away unless I die!" Xu Liyang knew that once Xu Chen went to the four Heaven Palaces, there would be no return. Even if he only had two years left, he would not back down!

He knew that Xu Chen would give the Xu Family a breather, and only after the younger generation rose to prominence would they be able to stabilize the Xu Family's status and continued existence. This was the greatest benefit the Xu Family could reap!

However, now that the four Heavenly Palaces had killed so many of their elders, if they did not seek justice for them, how would the Xu family be able to stand up in the north in the future?

Not to mention that the four Heavenly Palaces wanted Xu Chen by name. Eighteen years ago, he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a family head, nor did he fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

"Then please kill me, father!" Xu Chen raised his head and looked at Xu Liyang.

Although Xu Chen's eyes were blind and he couldn't see anything, Xu Liyang still felt a piercing sensation the moment Xu Chen turned around.

He could deeply feel Xu Chen's determination, and he had no doubt that Xu Chen could really do what he said. He stood there in a daze for a long time.

"Warm jade, go and pack your luggage."

Seeing that his father did not insist, Xu Chen stood up and prepared to leave. Because Xu Chen could not see, the youth from the four Heavenly Palaces wanted to come over to help, but was rejected by Xu Chen.

"Thank you for your good intentions. In the Xu Clan, I will not be wrong." Xu Chen had been blind for eighteen years, and he had already explored every inch of the Xu family.

Perhaps the other members of the Xu family did not know how many steps he had taken. He knew this very well.

He did not stumble, but instead walked straight out. Even as he walked out of the lobby, the cold wind blowing directly at him made his already frail body seem even thinner, but he did not tremble at all.

The moment Xu Chen walked out of the lobby, the Xu Family's courtyard was already filled with the figures of the Xu Family's younger generation. When they saw Xu Chen, they all shouted in unison!

"Second Brother!"

Although Xu Chen couldn't cultivate, because his divine meridians were destroyed, he still had the divine body. After all, he still had the divine body's talent, so any cultivation technique could be comprehended very quickly.

As a result, when the younger generation encountered difficulties in cultivation, he would usually come to ask him and he would answer them all. Thus, in the Xu family, although he was not an expert, he was respected.

Even many experts of the Eastern Xuan Continent had come to consult him. This was the network of people that he had built up for the Xu family!

If it wasn't because Xu Chen didn't want to accept disciples, who knew how many people would want to be a disciple under someone who couldn't cultivate.

This was the Divine Body!
