Chapter 123: Chapter 121 Xiao Alliance Crisis?

(First update is here, there will be more updates in the afternoon and evening, please cast a few monthly tickets and recommendations, Xiao Bei thanks you!)

(Also, Xiao Bei made a mistake in the previous Chapter, writing Shi Bo and the others as Innate Realm. It has been corrected now, very sorry!)

Wu Daniu punched hard at Xiao Ye, forming a strong punch wind that made Xiao Ye’s robe flutter noisily.

"Is this all you got?" Xiao Ye indifferently stretched out his palm to meet Wu Daniu’s fist.

Bang!

A dull impact sounded, and Wu Daniu felt as if his fist had hit an iron plate, being jolted back several steps before finally sitting down on the ground.

What!

Seeing this scene, the youth members of the Xiao Alliance were full of shock; Xiao Ye actually blocked Wu Daniu’s attack with just one palm.

"Daniu!"

Shi Bo’s face changed slightly, having no time to consider other matters, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Daniu up.

"Humph, what kind of top young generation powerhouse is this, in my opinion, it’s nothing much. You all better come at me together, I can suppress you with just one hand!" With his hands behind his back, Xiao Ye’s attitude was incredibly arrogant.

"Daniu, don’t be careless. This person’s strength is deep and unfathomable, we’ll attack together!" Shi Bo spoke in a deep voice, not getting furious because of this.

"Okay!" Wu Daniu nodded and charged at Xiao Ye together with Shi Bo.

Shi Bo’s long hair was messy, his entire body’s True Qi surged, having obviously reached the Postnatal Realm Seventh Level, significantly higher than Wu Daniu, and he fiercely slapped towards Xiao Ye.

Bang bang bang bang!

Four loud roaring sounds joined into one, rushing out from Shi Bo’s body, the overwhelming force forming a wave of energy rushing towards Xiao Ye.

"Oh?" Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up, Shi Bo’s move was actually his advanced Great Collapse Palm, whose power could rival a Second Grade Combat Skill.

Back then, after he modified the Great Collapse Palm, he deliberately left the palm technique and Heavenly Net Technique at the Xiao Family Village.

"It seems Shi Bo has been cultivating the Heavenly Net Technique." Xiao Ye thought to himself.

It takes great courage to change to a powerful Postnatal Cultivation Method because if your aptitude is not enough, you may never enter the Innate Realm.

Xiao Ye suddenly became very interested, he wanted to see how much power Shi Bo’s advanced Great Collapse Palm might have compared to back in the day.

Bam!

Facing the aggressive Wu Daniu, Xiao Ye did not even look, directly swatting him away with a single palm, then turned to face Shi Bo.

"I heard that Shi Bo aspires to follow the invincible path of Brother Ye, so he resolutely changed his cultivation method and now, indeed, soars high, using the advanced Great Collapse Palm, even veterans of the Xiao Alliance are not his match."

"Yes, Shi Bo, known as the second Brother Ye, will definitely defeat this person!"

Youths around whispered, and when they mentioned "Brother Ye," an incomparable fervor erupted in their eyes.

Xiao Ye in the Xiao Alliance was already a legend.

He rose from his teenage years, crushing peers all the way, creating a Second Grade Combat Skill, solo stormed the Blood Wolf Gang at the age of sixteen, killing the half-step Innate Blood Wolf.

Later, he participated in the Chongyang Sect exam, suppressing many geniuses, becoming the Son of County of Dahong County.

When recalling these deeds, they all make one’s blood boil; from Shi Bo, they could see the shadow of Xiao Ye, so they firmly believe Shi Bo will not lose!

In the field, dust swirled, and Shi Bo fought with Xiao Ye, continuously displaying the advanced Great Collapse Palm, enveloping Xiao Ye’s body, the strong fluctuations made Wu Daniu hesitant to step forward again.

Xiao Ye moved as if in a leisurely walk, quickly passing through Shi Bo’s palm winds, each step landing where Shi Bo’s attacks could not reach—a blind spot or hole in Shi Bo’s palm technique.

"Your palm technique is full of holes, and you still have the nerve to show it off!" Xiao Ye remarked with utter disdain.

Shi Bo’s face changed slightly; this was the first time he realized there were so many gaps in his advanced Great Collapse Palm.

"Could it be because of these holes that I can’t stack the True Qi for the fifth time?" A thought suddenly surged in Shi Bo’s mind.

He had been cultivating the advanced Great Collapse Palm for two years, but had never been able to stack the True Qi five times like Xiao Ye did back then, stuck at four times all along.

Thinking of this, Shi Bo looked deeply at Xiao Ye, feeling uncertain and surprised.

Xiao Ye could find flaws in his palm technique, and of course, easily defeat him, yet the other party did not. It seemed he was intentionally helping him.

"No matter what this person’s purpose is, if I can seize this opportunity, maybe I can break through with the palm technique." Shi Bo discarded distracting thoughts, focusing on amending the flaws in the Thunderclap Palm.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye smiled faintly, it seemed Shi Bo had a decent attitude, if he pointed out others’ shortcomings directly, they would have long been furious out of shame.

With such an attitude from Shi Bo, Xiao Ye was naturally willing to help him.

Bang bang bang bang!

The booms from Shi Bo sounded in succession, each time he patched a flaw, the power of his palm technique increased slightly.

"Sure enough, if I can fix all the flaws, I can add a fifth True Qi stack!" Shi Bo’s heart filled with excitement.

Xiao Ye navigated through Shi Bo’s palm wind, helping Shi Bo improve the shortcomings in his palm technique, but in the eyes of others, it seemed like Xiao Ye was being battered around by Shi Bo.

"Haha, with Commander Shi Bo’s action, this guy really can’t hold up!"

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!

Suddenly, the momentum on Shi Bo’s body surged, the overwhelming palm wind extremely astonishing, like a Gray Dragon roaring.

"Commander Shi Bo’s palm technique broke through!"

"Wow, to break through amidst battle, Commander Shi Bo truly deserves to be the second Brother Ye!"

"Commander Shi Bo, quickly finish this guy off!"

Villagers who emerged from the village shouted excitedly.

"Silence!" Shi Bo shouted harshly, his sharp gaze sweeping over, instantly silencing everyone.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the crowd, Shi Bo bowed to Xiao Ye in the distance, saying, "No matter why you came to our Xiao Alliance, I am very grateful for your help in perfecting my palm technique."

Sss!

Upon hearing Shi Bo’s words, the crowd gasped in shock, looking towards Xiao Ye. Shi Bo’s palm technique breakthrough was because of this person? Who on earth was he?

"Haha! Shi Bo, Daniu, after so many years you two haven’t changed much." Xiao Ye no longer hid his identity, reverting to his original voice, and laughed upwards.

He was very satisfied with the Xiao Alliance’s current martial strength, clearly merging the strongest three villages back then was a very wise decision.

Among the numerous youths present, many had reached the Postnatal Realm, while Shi Bo was even stronger and would definitely advance to the Innate Realm.

From among them, Xiao Ye could already foresee the powerful days of the Xiao Alliance.

Hearing this slightly familiar voice, Shi Bo and Wu Daniu were dumbfounded, while others were puzzled, as they had not interacted much with Xiao Ye back then.

"Who are you? Do you know me?" Wu Daniu scratched his head, full of confusion; he couldn’t remember knowing such a powerful young man.

It had to be said, in these two years, Xiao Ye had changed a lot, so it was normal not to recognize him.

Shi Bo frowned, pondering for a moment, then his body trembled, filled with disbelief.

"Xiao Ye, could it really be you!"

The scene suddenly fell silent as death, everyone stunned, staring at Xiao Ye.

"That’s right, it’s me!" Xiao Ye brushed back his long hair, revealing a handsome and masculine face.

Wow!

The silence in the scene was instantly shattered by clamoring voices.

"It’s Brother Ye, I saw Brother Ye back then!"

"Brother Ye has returned from the Chongyang Sect!"

Many youths looked at Xiao Ye with sparkling eyes full of admiration, seeing the first genius in Xiao Alliance’s history was a huge honor.

The news of Xiao Ye’s return quickly spread back, causing a large group of villagers to flock to the village entrance.

"Ye’er, it really is you, haha, wonderful!" A rugged middle-aged man rushed over, giving Xiao Ye a bear hug.

"Uncle Feng!" Xiao Ye was also full of excitement.

This middle-aged man, named Xiao Feng, was one of the few Postnatal Realm martial artists initially in Xiao Family Village and had always had a good relationship with their family.

"Ye’er!" At this time, a woman rushed out frantically, and when she saw Xiao Ye, her eyes immediately reddened, tears rolling down.

Seeing this woman, Xiao Ye’s eyes also moistened, feeling his soul tremble.

"Mother! Your unfilial son has returned!" Xiao Ye choked up, kneeling towards Tian Luolan.

A traveler son makes his mother worry; having been at the Chongyang Sect for more than two years without returning, it is imaginable how much Tian Luolan missed him.

"Silly child, it’s good to be back!" Tian Luolan quickly helped Xiao Ye up, caressing Xiao Ye’s face with trembling hands, crying and laughing.

"Mother, where is dad?" Xiao Ye scanned the crowd, not finding Xiao Yang, so he asked.

A flash of panic appeared in Tian Luolan’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it, afraid Xiao Ye would notice, she hastily lowered her head, saying, "Your father went out for business."

Xiao Ye nodded, not suspecting.

Because of Xiao Ye’s return, the entire Xiao Alliance was in an uproar. Although the current leader of the Xiao Alliance was actually the three village leaders, the true spiritual leader was Xiao Ye.

Everyone believed Xiao Ye would become an unparalleled powerhouse and lead the Xiao Alliance to prosperity.

In the midst of this, Xiao Ye retrieved all the treasures he exchanged for at the Chongyang Sect, which included powerful Second Grade Combat Skills, precious elixirs, and the Acupoint Charging Skill needed to enter the Innate Realm among others. With these treasures, the Xiao Alliance could soon produce a second Innate Martial Artist.

On this day, the Xiao Alliance was like celebrating the new year, with various wild game delicacies served up, reveling until midnight.

At the same time, Xiao Ye was full of emotions.

Now, the Xiao Alliance had a clear hierarchy, besides the three leaders, there were ten Commanders, each being a Postnatal Realm warrior, with Shi Bo and Wu Daniu being the youngest among them.

Late at night, in Xiao Ye’s house.

"Xiao Ye, you’d better give me an explanation!" Bing Ya’s eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to swallow Xiao Ye whole.

During the day, when everyone saw Bing Ya and Xiao Ye return together, their eyes were filled with implied meaning, and some even laughed.

Had the first genius of the Xiao Alliance finally found his unparalleled beauty?

Xiao Ye deliberately remained silent, allowing everyone to think in that direction.

The happiest of all was Luo Meilan, who warmly held Bing Ya, asking this and that, very pleased with her, wishing for Xiao Ye to marry immediately, making Bing Ya quite embarrassed.

Not surprisingly, Luo Meilan then arranged for the two of them to stay in the same room at night, indicating a move-in-together situation.

Xiao Ye was secretly delighted, apologizing to Bing Ya for half the day.

"You sleep on the floor, I’ll sleep on the bed!" Bing Ya snorted coldly, lying down clothed.

"I wasn’t planning to sleep at all." Xiao Ye’s expression turned somber, looking out the window.

Returning this time, he found too many things amiss.

First, he asked multiple times where Xiao Yang was, and villagers of the Xiao Alliance all dodged and avoided, changing the topic as an excuse.

Secondly, he found that besides Xiao Yang, Xiao Dashan and several villagers also disappeared. More strangely, upon his return, the three village leaders were avoiding him, claiming they were in seclusion.

"The Xiao Alliance, something major must have happened!" Xiao Ye speculated.

Since others wouldn’t say, he could only scout out the village leader’s home at night, he must ask about his father’s whereabouts!
