Chapter 93: Huo Family, Retreat!
Misfortune for the family...
Huo Kuang now regretted doting on his granddaughter Huo Wu. He had always turned a blind eye to minor quarrels in the past, but now it had finally turned into a tsunami that submerged the Huo Family.
"Tell me, what do you want in exchange for letting our Huo Family go?"
Huo Kuang staggered to his feet with a bald head, his figure like a swaying duckweed—a breeze could sway his ups and downs. His appearance seemed unchanged, but his eyes instantly aged by a dozen years, and his voice was empty and compromising, no longer so arrogant.
Su Ye said in surprise, with a smile on his face,
"You know that your strength cannot solve the problem, so now you want to negotiate terms, right?
You people in the Huo Family are all of the same character!!"
Faced with the ridicule, Huo Kuang kept silent. Now the situation was pressing, and he could not control it.
Seeing this, Su Ye didn't plan to waste words. He put away his smile and put on a cold face. He said coldly,
"I don't need an apology, and I don't want your insincere apology!
I had an agreement with your granddaughter and the others before. Whoever loses will be a beggar for a day.
If you lose, you have to admit your mistakes. This matter should be resolved here.
It's a pity that the tradition of your Huo family has always been arrogant and insolent."
Su Ye pointed his finger at Huo Qingtian and continued,
"You know, the first thing this guy did when he ran out was to kill me without any reason!
Since your Huo family wants to speak with strength, now that I have won, you tell me—how should this matter be handled according to the rules?"
"...I understand." Huo Kuang smiled miserably. Since he chose to speak with strength, he would naturally bear all the consequences if he lost. Between the two of them, it was no longer a question of reason or not.
Huo Kuang's voice was hesitant, like a slow and weak stream of water,
"Since my Huo family was wrong first, and now it has been defeated, you can do whatever you want."
Ta!
Isn't this quite reasonable?
"This is also simple," Su Ye stopped wasting time, because he sensed that the Tiandou army was approaching, and he did not want to get involved in the affairs of the empire.
"Your Huo family broke the contract first, so it's not just one day of beggars. I need her to be a beggar for a year, and the Huo family cannot protect her during this period.
Of course, you can also refuse. As for the price—"
"I agree!" Huo Wu quickly replied, her throat choking.
"It would have been great if you had this attitude before."
Su Ye looked askance and stepped on her without any hesitation.
"Second!
You have to hand over half of all the property of the Huo family.
As for the reason, there should be no need to repeat what I said before, right?"
Huo Kuang remained silent, just nodded with a depressed look on his face. The reason was simple—he lost.
Su Ye continued,
"As for the third, I want your Huo family to withdraw from Chihuo Academy from now on.
From now on, all affairs of Chihuo Academy will have nothing to do with your Huo family."
Wow!
Huo Kuang suddenly widened his eyes.
"...Do you really want to wipe out the Huo family?"
The low roar was full of anger and unwillingness, and Huo Kuang was extremely excited.
Blazing Academy is the Huo family's greatest support. Since the academy only recruits nobles, there is a huge aristocratic circle inside. As long as there is Blazing Academy, their Huo family will firmly occupy a part of the power of the Tiandou noble circle and will be able to prosper forever.
Once this part of the power is lost, the Huo family will sooner or later fall into desolation, and even fall to the bottom because of an accident, and never recover from it.
This condition is simply cutting off the source of the fire!
Su Ye shook his head slightly. His eyes suddenly turned overbearing and cold,
"I think I need to correct you.
If I want to wipe out the Huo family, I can do it now.
Every drink in the world has its cause and effect.
Your Huo family has prospered so much thanks to Blazing Fire Academy, and your descendants are so overbearing that one day you will be in a situation of no return.
Logically, you should thank me. At least I am not the one who raised the butcher knife to the Huo family in the end.
At least now, the Huo family can retreat safely and decide their own rise and fall."
A little while.
The invisible despair and pressure dissipated with the departure of the young man.
"Grandpa——"
Huo Wu's lips trembled as she supported Huo Kuang, lowered her head and dared not look at him again, tears dripping like beads from a broken string.
Huo Qingtian was also rescued from the high wall. Although his meridians were eroded by the extreme ice and he could not use his strength, his body was fine.
"Father, do we really have to listen to that guy? With the power of the Huo family, we can't do anything..."
Huo Qingtian's face was fierce. With a fiery personality, he was unwilling to accept failure and was ready to fight to the end.
"Enough!!"
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Kuang's sharp voice.
Huo Qingtian wanted to continue persuading, but he was shocked when he noticed the expression on his father Huo Kuang's face.
Blood veins were bulging on Huo Kuang's bald forehead, and his dark eyes were now full of red spider silk. With such a horrifying appearance, Huo Kuang looked like a man-eating devil from hell, tightly grasping the hearts of the people around him.
"Huu..." Huo Kuang sighed. How could he not know that the Huo family still had a chance to fight back—completely sell themselves to the empire and rely on the power of the empire to turn this matter from a big thing to a small thing?
Or they could surrender to the Spirit Hall, which would also eliminate this matter.
But Huo Qingtian would not understand what this meant. But Huo Kuang knew very well—it meant to fight the other party to the end.
A three-ring soul master, whose strength was comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old...
Where would such a person be in the future?
The Huo family could hide for a while, but how long could they hide? If that day came, the Huo family would not even have a chance to retreat unscathed.
The teeth in his mouth were about to break. Huo Kuang and himself were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and finally he slowly opened his mouth.
"I declare by the order of the head of the family, that from now on, the Huo family will retreat!"
After saying this unwillingly, Huo Kuang's body collapsed like a collapsed mountain.
"Grandpa! (Father!)" Huo Wu and the others shouted.
The originally bright soul guide lamp also went out, and the Blazing Academy fell into a brief chaos.

Su Ye could not see all this. After getting rid of the surrounding mental power detection, he had already taken Zhu Zhuqing back to Dugu's house.
In the courtyard, several crystal lamps were on. Although there was still fluorescence emitted by the grass and trees, it was still a little dim.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Su Ye suddenly stop, Zhu Zhuqing frowned and asked, feeling something was wrong.
Su Ye ignored it, staring at a space with determination, and shouted coldly:
"Senior has followed me for so long, and now that you are here, are you still going to hide your head and show your tail?"
Swish!
Zhu Zhuqing's heartstrings tightened. Someone was following them, but she didn't notice it at all.
As Su Ye's voice fell, a circle of ripples suddenly spread in the void.
Two figures emerged from the cracks in space like emerging from the water.
The man looked elegant and graceful. He was dressed in white. He seemed simple and unadorned, but he was wearing jeweled accessories. Even the scepter in his hand was inlaid with huge gems.
As for the old man, his face was haggard and his body was extremely shriveled. His clothes seemed to be completely supported by a skeleton. The pattern of ribs could be seen, giving people an illusion of fragility.
But the whole body—the amazing dull aura—made people feel that there was an indestructible peak in front of them.
