Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 771 - 772: Seizing People

Now the Gongsun Family's main hall is packed with people. Besides the Wang Family, many clan leaders are gathered here, and they all greatly admire Wang Xiao.

It's known that both of Wang Xiao's sons are extraordinarily talented. His eldest son, Wang Jue, recently became famous by killing a Celestial Realm expert while himself being only at the Earth Level Peak, thereby making him a Gongsun family son-in-law, allowing the Wang Family to climb this great tree.

Although his second son, Wang Cheng, is only eighteen, he is already at the Profound Level Realm Peak; his talent is equally outstanding. When these two sons grow up, their martial arts achievements will surely far surpass those of Wang Xiao.

Therefore, how can such a Wang Family not make others envious?

After Wang Xiao and his group took their seats, the Gongsun patriarch, wearing a longevity robe, waved his hand and said, "Today is my 200th birthday. Thank you all for coming to celebrate. Please, be seated!"

"You're too kind, Senior Gongsun!" Many clan leaders nodded slightly and took their seats.

Gongsun Zhan smiled slightly: "Serve the tea!"

As his words fell, servants of the Gongsun Family brought full cups of tea and placed them in front of each of the clan leaders.

Then, Gongsun Zhan turned to Gongsun Zhi and said, "Why haven't Yan'er and Jue'Er returned yet? I'm still waiting for their birthday gifts!"

As he spoke, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Gongsun Zhan's eyes. Obviously, he was proud to have such granddaughters and grandsons-in-law, especially of Wang Jue's talent, which greatly impressed Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan even had high expectations for Wang Jue. The Emperor Star Academy's enrollment day was only a few days away, and with Wang Jue's talent, he would surely overcome all challenges and pass the assessment to join the academy. At that time, the Gongsun Family's prestige would rise to another level.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi said to Gongsun Zhan, "Dad, these two are newlyweds, and they have been focusing on their cultivation, hardly getting a chance to stroll around. Perhaps they lost track of time, but they should be back soon. If you'd like, I can call them!"

"No need!" Gongsun Zhan waved his hand and smiled slightly, "Young people love to play, and it's normal. Let them be!"

These words revealed Gongsun Zhan's indulgence towards them. Even if it delayed his birthday banquet, he wasn't willing to blame Gongsun Yan or Wang Jue.

This scene also made Wang Xiao deeply gratified. After all, Wang Jue was his son, and that the Gongsun Family valued him so highly was fortuitous for the Wang Family.

"Grandpa, we're back!"

At this moment, a slightly weak voice came from the door. Many eyes quickly turned to look, focusing on two individuals at once. They saw that their clothes were blood-stained and tattered, and they were in a state of extreme disarray, which baffled everyone inside the hall.

These two were none other than Gongsun Yan and Wang Jue.

"What happened?"

Some were bewildered. Who could beat Wang Jue and Gongsun Yan so badly? Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be seriously injured. Didn't their opponent realize they were from the Gongsun Family?

Moreover, who had the capability to defeat Wang Jue?

The more people thought about it, the more puzzled they became. Among their peers, there were very few in the Imperial Capital who could defeat Wang Jue. Could it have been done by someone from the older generation?

In an instant, the Gongsun Family's main hall became tumultuous. Wang Jue and Gongsun Yan undoubtedly became the focal point for everyone.

"Jue'Er, what happened?" Wang Xiao stepped forward, supporting the seriously injured Wang Jue. His eyes held a look of shock as he said, "How did you get injured, and who did this?"

"I don't know!" Wang Jue shook his head.

Don't know?

Upon hearing this, Wang Jue felt dumbfounded. To be seriously injured by someone and not know who did it... Are they trying to fool me? Or is Jue'Er intentionally hiding something?

Then, Wang Xiao turned his gaze to Gongsun Yan and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's going on? Why are you both injured?"

"What Wang Jue said is true. We really don't know the person's name, but he was very strong. All the Gongsun Family guards I brought along were killed. Thankfully, Wang Jue and I had space talismans, or we wouldn't have escaped. As for Wang Cheng..."

"What happened to Cheng'er?" Wang Xiao felt a bad omen.

"Younger brother, he died!" As they spoke, a trace of venomous hatred flashed in Wang Jue's eyes. Today, while rescuing his brother, he was crushed by the opponent, losing all face. It was a disgrace for him.

"What, Cheng'er is dead?"

Clang~

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao nearly passed out. Wang Cheng was his youngest son, as talented as Wang Jue, just born a few years later. He had high expectations for Wang Cheng, who was overly pampered, but seeing his high status, it seemed impossible for anyone to dare kill him in the Eastern Loop Street, yet he was dead now.

Wow~

An overwhelming aura of fury erupted from Wang Xiao; the might of a Saint Heaven Realm Middle Stage pervaded the hall, infused with cold killing intent.

Wang Cheng was dead? This second generation of the Wang Family was killed? And Wang Jue and Gongsun Yan were seriously injured, along with their Saint Heaven Realm guards being killed… who dared to do this?

At this moment, many inside the hall were also shocked. Would someone openly challenge one of the ten great clans, the Gongsun Family? And the key point was, neither Gongsun Yan nor Wang Jue knew who had seriously injured them.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire hall underwent a subtle change, seemingly losing its previous joy, instead filled with an indistinct aura of cold indifference and killing intent.

Especially Gongsun Zhan, seated at the main seat, his expression was extremely gloomy. How many years had it been since anyone dared challenge the Gongsun Family's dignity on their territory, and now someone had seriously injured his most beloved grandchildren and son-in-law? This was simply outrageous.

Bang~

Suddenly, Gongsun Zhan slapped the table with his right hand. With a loud bang, the entire marble tabletop shattered, causing a strong tremor in the hall.

Many were startled. Was the Gongsun Patriarch enraged?

The Gongsun Family Patriarch, Gongsun Zhan, was the only Saint Heaven Realm Peak powerhouse in the Gongsun Family; his prowess was not to be challenged.

"No matter who dares to bully my Gongsun Family, I, Gongsun Zhan, will not let this enmity remain!" Gongsun Zhan's voice was cold and detached. If anyone could trample over the Gongsun Family, how would they stand in the Imperial Capital in the future?

Moreover, if the other nine great families knew, wouldn't they become a laughingstock?

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Gongsun Yan and Wang Jue nodded slightly. As long as the patriarch was there, who would dare act recklessly again? Moreover, they believed that the person who had seriously injured them would certainly not dare come to the Gongsun Family to seize anyone. If he did, it would surely be courting death.

Buzz~

However, at this moment, an extraordinary aura suddenly enveloped the entire Gongsun Family main hall. Everyone raised their eyes, looking from the door towards the ten thousand-step staircase, suddenly seeing a crowd gathered at the bottom of the stairs.
