Chapter 428: The Players of the Fourth Calamity (Part 8)

Jin Taihua was certain he wasn't mistaken.
That shameless bastard actually beat him to it!
"Xiao Tianyun is also a reincarnated person!"
Although Jin Taihua still had many things he didn't understand, none of that mattered.
He absolutely couldn't let that shameless Xiao Tianyun get there first!
Jin Taihua leaped off the ship.
The Xiao family members, upon seeing Jin Taihua, immediately recognized this legendary young man.
"That's Jin Taihua, the Jin family's unparalleled genius, ranked alongside the young patriarch as one of the Star Alliance's top ten geniuses!"
"He actually came here? Did he come to laugh at our Xiao family?"
"..."
The Xiao family members were ashamed.
The Xiao family head said, "Nephew Jin..."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression turned to astonishment.
Nephew Jin slid in and, together with the young patriarch, knelt down in perfect unison.
Jin Taihua shouted, "Master, I am your most loyal servant, Jin Taihua! Please forgive my lateness!"
Xiao Tianyun was stunned.
The person before him was indeed Jin Taihua!
How could he be here?
The two exchanged a glance.
Xiao Tianyun realized that Jin Taihua, like him, was a reincarnated individual!
But none of that mattered anymore.
Xiao Tianyun said, "Master, I am your most loyal servant!"
Su Chen looked at the two, his face twitching.
These two are truly something else.
The Xiao family members were all dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Were they all dreaming, hallucinating?
His Xiao family's young patriarch had gone mad; could it be that the Jin family's young patriarch had also gone mad?
This scene also left the Xiao family patriarch and many elders bewildered. For a moment, they didn't understand what was happening. They looked at the Jin family elders, who were equally confused.
Although their young master had told them beforehand that they were going to meet a powerful figure to ensure the Jin family's continued wealth and prosperity, their young master hadn't mentioned this particular "meeting" method!
While everyone was still bewildered,
another commotion arose above the Xiao family compound.
"It's the Cao family of the Alliance!"
"Wait!"
"????"
The Cao family's young master, seeing Xiao Tianyun and Jin Taihua below, leaped down, and then... executed a sliding tackle, landing perfectly alongside them.
The Xiao family members were stunned.
The Cao family, another of the Alliance's top ten families, on par with the Xiao and Jin families!
"Again?"
Not long after the Cao family's young master arrived,
multicolored lights appeared above the Xiao family compound, and a stunningly beautiful woman stood on the void.
"It's the goddess of the He family, the most beautiful woman in the alliance!"
"It's said that the goddess of the He family is of noble character and unparalleled talent, in no way inferior to the young patriarch... Such a peerless beauty couldn't possibly..."
The words caught in his throat.
The aloof, elegant goddess, along with Xiao Tianyun, Jin Taihua, and the young master of the Cao family, formed a neat group of four.
Xiao Tianyun, Jin Taihua, and the young master of the Cao family exchanged glances, immediately realizing that the goddess of the He family, like them, was a reincarnated being!
Hiss...
This is not good news!
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman with her alluring posture, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in the hearts of the three.
Su Chen: "......."
These reborn individuals are not only numerous, but something's also off about them.
This isn't over yet!
The turmoil above the Xiao family has numbed its members, causing the family and many elders to question their very existence.
One genius after another arrives, backed by immense power, no less than the Xiao family.
But the first thing these geniuses do upon arrival...
Hmm...
They kneel in a neat row over there.
It's almost like welcoming the Dragon King back.
Just as they begin to waver, the sky above the Xiao family is cleaved open by a sword aura, and a terrifying sword energy pours down through the chasm.
This sacred scene leaves everyone in a daze.
Then they see a ethereal young man riding a divine sword.
"I know who he is!"
"He's Xiaoyaozi of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, hailed as the greatest genius in the Alliance's millennia-long history, even taken as a disciple by a powerful figure in the Federation!"
"That's Xiaoyaozi, the Sword Saint of Xiaoyao! He can't be like the young patriarch and the others, can he?"
The Xiao family members were numb.
However, Xiaoyaozi's status in the Star Alliance was extraordinary. This wasn't just ordinary Emperor-level talent; he possessed Emperor-level Immortal-grade talent, the Alliance's greatest jewel!
Xiaoyaozi landed gracefully, looking at Xiao Tianyun and the others kneeling on the ground with utter disdain: "A bunch of trash!"
He elegantly sheathed his sword, then calmly stepped forward... and knelt on both knees.
Xiao Tianyun and the others: "..."
Xiao Tianyun and the others thought to themselves.
"You're just putting on airs, aren't you? In the end, you'll still have to kneel!"
Facing the stares of Xiao Tianyun and the others, Xiaoyaozi remained unfazed. He respectfully said, "Master, I'm different from these good-for-nothings. They only have ordinary Emperor-level talent, while I possess Immortal-level Emperor-level talent. I will be your most powerful and loyal servant. Please accept me!"
What a joke! Even if he, Xiaoyaozi, were to kneel, he would kneel with the most grace!
Xiao Hongyuan was still bewildered.
These people all seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds.
Now... they were all kneeling down in unison, rushing to beg to become servants to his son?
Good heavens!
Xiao Hongyuan gasped.
He still didn't understand what was going on. If only he could faint!
His heart couldn't take it!
The Xiao family patriarch and the many elders of the Xiao family exchanged glances.
Even Xiaoyaozi knelt.
A series of heavy thuds echoed as everyone hit the ground.
From the patriarch and elders to ordinary clansmen, everyone in the Xiao family knelt at that moment.
"Um...Master, it was just a joke between my son and me. Please, Master, make any requests you may have. Whatever the Xiao family can do, and whatever it cannot, we will do our utmost to fulfill!"
The Xiao family patriarch realized at that moment.
What Xiao Tianyun said seemed to be true.
His Xiao family had just narrowly escaped death.
Now, the Xiao family patriarch only had one thought in his mind: to salvage the situation...otherwise, the Xiao family's 100,000-year-old foundation might have been destroyed in his hands!
Thinking of this, the Xiao family patriarch felt a sense of relief and looked at Xiao Tianyun.
"Truly worthy of being my son, he has foresight. Thanks to Tianyun, otherwise, my entire Xiao family would have been doomed."
He didn't know how terrifying that man was.
But he knew how terrifying those kneeling before that man were.
Xiao Hongyuan stared in silence at the kneeling Xiao family members... Should he also kowtow to his son?
Even the head of the Xiao family was kneeling; it seemed inappropriate for him to remain standing.
Su Chen glanced indifferently at the crowd. Seeing their reaction, he pointed to Xiao Hongyuan beside him, his father in this life, and said, "This is my father. From today onwards, he is the head of the Xiao family. Does anyone have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyuan's legs went weak...
