Chapter 275 Confession
```
This...
Upon hearing Ouyang Xiong's command, the members of Heaven Slaying looked at one another.
Who was Xia Liu? He was the formidable individual who had defeated the Sect Leader of Tianjue.
Without a doubt, he must possess Earth-Rank Cultivation.
Even if there were five hundred disciples of the Taiji Sect on the scene, ganging up on Xia Liu, the likely outcome would still be a complete annihilation.
At that level, victory couldn't be achieved by sheer numbers.
"Old Master Ouyang, Lingtian and I are now good friends, don't you think this is somewhat inappropriate?"
Xia Liu maintained his composure, looking at Ouyang Xiong with a faint smile on his face.
"Hmph! Lingtian is still young, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. After this experience, he'll mature, but you, you've not a shred of righteousness or morality!"
"Old Xiong! You're playing with fire!" Fang Huasheng could not listen any longer.
Xia Liu had defeated Tianjue; his strength was unquestionable.
Moreover, he still vividly remembered the event at the Island Nation a few days ago.
Xia Liu had annihilated the guard squad, destroyed a Ninja Warship, and with a single touch, obliterated five combat helicopters with his bare hands.
If he unleashed such methods, it was probable that Heaven Slaying would cease to exist.
To Xia Liu, killing might be as simple as eating and drinking.
"Huasheng, are you opposing me as well?" Ouyang Xiong fixed his gaze on Fang Huasheng.
Ouyang Xiong was well aware of the alliance formed through marriage between the Ouyang Family and the Fang Family.
This change in his grandson's marriage was a responsibility Fang Huasheng could not shirk.
If it hadn't been for his protection of Xia Liu, how could Fang Fei have so easily come together with Xia Liu?
"Have we not been adversaries for a short time? I just don't want to see you suffer losses."
"Rest assured, the contributions I've made over the years are not to be taken lightly, much important than anyone else's. So you see, the Life-Saving Talisman you applied for him? Useless, don't you know?"
Ouyang Xiong was confident about this, believing that even if he really killed Xia Liu, there would be no serious consequences.
"Ai... you don't understand what I mean. I'm saying that angering Xia Liu will lead to the destruction of Heaven Slaying!"
"What a joke! The person who could pose a threat to Heaven Slaying hasn't been born yet!" Ouyang Xiong laughed. With just Xia Liu, they wouldn't be able to set off any fireworks.
Even if he had some forces at his disposal, should they dare to step foot in Huaxia, what awaited them would be utter annihilation!
"If that's how you want it, then I..."
"Xia Liu!" Just as Xia Liu was about to speak, suddenly a voice came from afar.
Everyone looked and saw Ouyang Lingtian!
"Eh, why are you the only one on the stage?" Ouyang Lingtian didn't care about the gazes of the people around him and quickly climbed onto the stage.
"You're late. I've already swept through them all," Xia Liu shook his head and said with a smile.
"Damn it! I tried my best, barely managed to shake off my mom."
Ouyang Lingtian spoke with a bitter face.
"Eh! Master, why are you standing down there?" As he spoke, Ouyang Lingtian suddenly noticed Tianjue and was immediately puzzled.
Tianjue gave Ouyang Lingtian a slight smile but said nothing.
Because he caught the meaningful look from Xia Liu, indicating he should keep silent.
"Your master was defeated by me, that's why he can't speak."
"What the heck! Really? You're all in one piece, in fine condition, how could you have possibly defeated my master?"
Seeing that Xia Liu's Qi Sea Acupoint was unharmed, Ouyang Lingtian was somewhat baffled.
Could it be Xia Liu had the strength to defeat Earth-Rank Warriors even before his sealing?

"Get off it, right now your grandpa is giving me a hard time, explain yourself quickly," Xia Liu said as he slapped Ouyang Lingtian on the head.
This…
Everyone on the scene was already shocked enough to see Ouyang Lingtian and Xia Liu greeting each other.
Now that Xia Liu actually slapped Ouyang Lingtian on the head, shock no longer seemed an adequate word to describe it.
They had been so thoroughly stunned that they were numb; who exactly was Xia Liu?
This question lingered in everyone's minds.
"Lingtian, you've arrived at just the right time. I don't care what drugs this kid has fed you, snap out of it quickly."
"Grandfather, Xia Liu is my good brother. Fang Fei has liked him from the beginning; this arranged marriage was my obsession," Ouyang Lingtian confessed his true feelings to his grandfather.
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
"You damned kid, as the next Family Head of the Ouyang family, where is your pride? Where is your dominance?"
"Grandfather, you might not know, but this time when I was on a mission in the Island Nation, if it weren't for Xia Liu, I would never have made it back. What use is all our family wealth? What good is high-level martial power? All I know is that he is my life-saving benefactor, someone I owe a lifelong debt of gratitude to; he's my brother!"
Ouyang Lingtian had come this time precisely to persuade his grandfather, and he did not hesitate to declare his allegiance to Xia Liu in front of everyone present.
"Pfft..."
Xia Liu burst out laughing; if Ouyang Lingtian had been a woman, he would happily engage in a verbal sparring match for three days and nights.
The others were also stunned.
In their memories, Ouyang Lingtian hardly spoke and was incredibly aloof.
Yet today, it was as if he had exchanged souls, actually saying such words to another man…
However, when they thought more deeply about the underlying meaning in Ouyang Lingtian's words, they all quietly agreed.
It's rare in life to meet a benefactor, and a life-saving grace is worth more than any other kindness.
A Martial Artist is supposed to stand tall and distinguishes clearly between debts of gratitude and enmity; having received kindness, one should repay it even if it takes a lifetime.
"You... you..." Ouyang Xiong pointed at Ouyang Lingtian, but in the end, he could not utter another word.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the truth was, he could no longer control this grandson.
Fine! He could overlook his grandson's affairs, but Xia Liu's disrespect, having no regard for the Ouyang Family, was an insult to a clan with centuries of inheritance; a warrior could be killed but not humiliated, he couldn't let Xia Liu continue to act recklessly.
"Heaven Slaying commandos, tie up these two for me!" Ouyang Xiong ordered forcefully.
"Who dares!" Ouyang Lingtian spread out his palms and a vast surge of Inner Qi continuously flowed out, imposing no small pressure on everyone below.
"Mysterious Rank Peak!" Tianjue exclaimed in surprise upon feeling Ouyang Lingtian's Inner Qi.
"Mysterious Rank Peak!"
All of the Heaven Slaying were astonished; Ouyang Lingtian had actually advanced to Mysterious Rank Peak!
They all remembered that just a few days ago, this guy was still high-level Mysterious Rank.
Now he had advanced to Mysterious Rank Peak.
Was it because of Xia Liu?
The crowd was surprised but also began to harbor suspicions.
"Hahaha, Lingtian, hold back, I'll handle this," Xia Liu laughed happily; Ouyang Lingtian's advancing to Mysterious Rank Peak was something he had anticipated.
It was just that he hadn't expected that it would happen so quickly, which showed how uncommon his talent was.
"Okay, you handle it," Ouyang Lingtian said with a slight smile and stepped aside.
"Old Master Ouyang, if you keep this up, then I will have no choice but to clear out all the Heaven Slaying members," Xia Liu said.
"Hm? What did you say?" Ouyang Xiong thought he had misheard and asked again for confirmation.
"I said, if you are still unwilling to let go, then I will have to send all the Heaven Slaying members over to Spearhead!"
