Chapter 493 Disappointment
Chapter 493 Disappointment
"go to hell!"
The white-robed old man roared and thrust his long sword fiercely towards Xu Ling.
The deafening roar was deafening, and the terrifying sword light slammed into Xu Ling's body, sending him flying.
It crashed violently into the distant mountainside, and another sound of bones breaking echoed, sending a chill down one's spine.
Xu Ling had many gruesome wounds on his body, and he lay in the cave with a deathly pale face.
His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the figure standing in mid-air in the distance.
The white-robed old man walked over step by step, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"You really are disappointing; you're only at this level."
The old man in white robes looked down at Xu Ling and said in a contemptuous tone.
"I..." Xu Ling couldn't utter a single word; his body was trembling violently.
He knew he shouldn't be so weak, but he was facing an invincible being.
"What? You still refuse to submit to me?"
A cold glint flashed in the white-robed old man's eyes. He moved swiftly and appeared in front of Xu Ling.
He raised his hand and grabbed at Xu Ling's head, a strong gust of wind swept past.
The wind blew Xu Ling's hair into a mess, and he wore a broad smile.
Xu Ling's face paled again, and a look of horror flashed across his face.
"Stop!" Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the void.
The old man in white robes suddenly stopped, a look of confusion on his face.
The voice sounded familiar, but it didn't seem to come from anywhere.
"Who is it? Come out here, stop hiding!"
He roared, his eyes searching around.
His eyes scanned the entire forest, but he found no one hiding there, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
He hadn't encountered this situation in a long time.
"You old codger, you really have some nerve to be so disrespectful to the young master of the Xu family."
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from the void.
Upon hearing this, the white-robed elder's expression changed drastically.
He recognized the voice all too well; it belonged to Xu Yao, the head of the Xu family.
"Weren't you in seclusion? How come you woke up so soon?" he asked hurriedly.
"These are minor issues, don't worry about them. You just went a bit too far."
"Since you're so eager to kill him, I can give you that chance, but I hope you'll show mercy!"
"My Xu family has always been known for its benevolence and righteousness!" Xu Yao, the head of the Xu family, said calmly.
The Xu family is a family that places great importance on rules and regulations, and their family precepts have always served as a reminder to them.
Once they break the family rules, even the King of Heaven can't save them.
Xu Ling is Xu Yao's nephew, so how could the head of the Xu family sit idly by?
Although his voice wasn't loud, it was enough to make the white-robed old man's heart skip a beat.
"Patriarch Xu, I know I was wrong about what you said. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him a lesson and this will never happen again."
An embarrassed look appeared on the face of the old man in white robes.
"Since you know you're wrong, then hurry back. I won't see you off!"
The head of the Xu family said calmly.
"Yes!" The white-robed elder nodded, then transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.
Xu Ling slowly opened his eyes. His body was still in pain. He looked in Xu Yao's direction with eyes full of resentment and anger.
"Xu Ling, you should leave now, and I promise I won't chase you down again."
"You no longer need to stay in our Xu family. This is the best choice for you," the Xu family patriarch said indifferently.
"Hmph! I will not leave the Xu family; I will stay here forever."
"I will never let my father bear such a bad reputation again."
Xu Ling clenched his teeth tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
"Suit yourself!" the Xu family patriarch said indifferently, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.
Upon hearing this news, Xu Ling's eyes dimmed considerably.
"Although your aptitude for cultivation is very poor, it's quite good that you've persisted in cultivation until now."
"Our Xu family cannot treat you unfairly. The pills you have cultivated over the years are enough for you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage or even higher."
"Your cultivation has now reached the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and you are only one step away from the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
"During this time, you should focus on seclusion and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible. I will prepare a large number of pills to help you break through."
"You should leave now," the Xu family patriarch said calmly, looking at Xu Ling.
"Thank you, Patriarch," Xu Ling said respectfully, bowing his head before turning and leaving.
Xu Yao watched his departing figure, his brows furrowing slightly as a look of worry appeared on his face.
He didn't know Xu Ling's current condition, only that he was seriously injured.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained unconscious on the ground for so long without waking up.
No matter what, he is still his son, and he would feel bad if something happened to him.
But there was nothing he could do about these things, since Xu Ling no longer belonged to him.
His strength has not yet recovered, so he has no chance against those two mysterious experts, nor can he protect Xu Ling.
Therefore, he can only wait for the Xu family to send someone to the Southern Wilderness Ancient Battlefield to bring Xu Ling back so that he can recuperate properly.
Xu Yao was very clear that he was still lacking in power, and that would be better if he could break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
His strength will increase again, which will allow him to protect the people he wants to protect.
"Patriarch, you don't need to worry about the young master. Just focus on your cultivation. It's not too late to save him after you reach the Nascent Soul stage!"
An aged voice sounded beside Xu Yao; the man was dressed in a black robe.
She turned her head and glanced at him, a serious expression on her face.
He could tell that the old man was also a Nascent Soul realm expert, and his strength was far more unfathomable than Xu Yao's.
"Su Chen, you may leave now," Xu Yao said calmly, waving his hand at Su Chen.
"Yes!" Su Chen nodded quickly, then bowed and retreated.
“Patriarch Xu, I know what your concerns are. I have already advanced to the Nascent Soul realm.”
"If you fight me, I might not be a match for you!"
"But my cultivation resources are very abundant, so you don't need to be afraid of that at all. Just go ahead and make your move!"
With a faint smile on his face, the head of the Xu family spoke to the head of the Xu family.
"I know that Patriarch Xu is extremely powerful, but you probably don't want to see me die, do you?"
"Moreover, Xu Yao, the head of the Xu family, has not yet become the head of the Xu family, so he cannot bring any benefits to the Xu family at all!"
