This young master Hou wasn't particularly strong, but he was protected by powerful figures. He had a doting mother who spoiled him rotten. Although he was a spoiled brat, his family's wealth and access to medicinal resources allowed him to develop some cultivation.
However, his cultivation level depended on who he was compared to. He was naturally inferior to most aristocratic scions, and even many geniuses couldn't compare. But within the Hou family's hierarchy, he was only average. The resources available to others could make them ten times stronger.
But there was nothing he could do; his mother's family was incredibly powerful. His mother was very assertive, with a strong background and considerable strength, even the Hou family head had to be wary of her.
With such a tigress backing him, she could handle anything, which fostered his unruly personality.
Now, severely injured from the fall, young master Hou had never suffered such humiliation before. He roared angrily, "Beat him! Beat him to death! No, cripple him! I want him to wish he were dead!"
Just as the Xiao family head was about to make his move,
the Imperial Tutor pulled Xiao Qifeng back and walked over.
"Little beauty, so pretty. Who are you? Want to come with me? I'll make you the most noble woman." Only now did Hou Shao truly realize how beautiful this woman was; even now, he couldn't shake his lustful nature.
"My name is Xiao Qingxuan," the Imperial Tutor said slowly as he walked.
"Xiao Qingxuan, hmm, that name sounds familiar. Are you from the Xiao family? What is Xiao Qifeng to you?" Hou Shao asked疑惑地问道.
"Xiao Qifeng is my father, Hou Shao, do you remember him?" The Imperial Tutor finished speaking and stomped down.
*Crack!
* Hou Shao's leg was instantly crushed. Killing this scum was too lenient.
*Ahhh…*
Hou Shao screamed in agony, his knee crushed. Even a martial artist would find this pain unbearable; the excruciating pain, the pain that pierced to the bone, was truly worse than death.
At this moment, several people attacked the Imperial Tutor. These people were very strong; they were the ones who had been by Hou Shao's side during the events of the past. *
Pfft pfft pfft!*
With a casual strike, the Imperial Tutor caused these men to cough up blood and collapse to the ground, barely breathing. They were beyond saving, but even a divine physician wouldn't be able to save them now.
Xiao Qifeng was stunned. His daughter was so powerful now. He had expected her to be strong, but he hadn't imagined she would be this powerful.
*Crack!*
The Imperial Tutor didn't stop there, crushing Hou Shao's other leg to pieces.
"Ahhh! Don't kill me! Please let me go! I'll give you anything you want!" Hou Shao realized what was happening. He could only stall for time. This was the Hou family's gate; once his family came out, he would definitely torture him to death.
"You can't give me what I want. I'm here to collect a debt. I'm going to take everything from you. Don't worry, I won't kill you now. I want to see who in the Hou family can save you." The Imperial Tutor said, stepping on Hou Shao's dantian.
His cultivation was ruined, his legs shattered, his dantian destroyed—he was utterly crippled. His former reliance on others was now on its last legs. These people, in Hou Shao's eyes, were top-tier experts, renowned throughout the Qing Tian Kingdom.
Their strength, combined with the Hou family's prestige, meant they could practically roam freely in the Qing Tian Kingdom. This was only because Hou Shao's mother doted on him; in other families, spoiled brats wouldn't deserve such people.
Yet, these very people were utterly helpless before this woman.
How strong was this woman? Most importantly, the hatred between them ran deep. After all, it was a blood feud—the murder of his mother, an irreconcilable enmity. Anyone with the ability would seek revenge.
However, this woman was too arrogant. Once his family came out, he would teach her a lesson. If she crippled him, he would make her suffer unspeakable torment, letting her know what hell on earth was like.
A ferocious glint appeared in Hou Shao's eyes; the destruction of his cultivation had driven him mad.
The commotion was significant, and soon many members of the Hou family emerged.
"Ah, you idiot, my son! Who hurt you like this? Who is it? I'll make him die!" A slightly plump, wealthy woman roared.
She was beautiful, still charming, and possessed an innate air of nobility, perhaps cultivated from her high position. She was Hou Shao's mother, the mistress of the Hou family, Madam Hou.
"It's her, it's them!" Hou Shao, having found his anchor, screamed shrilly.
"Xiao Qifeng, you've got some nerve! You've really eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, daring to come to my Hou family and hurt my son! You're tired of living!" Madam Hou stared at Xiao Qifeng.
"I'm here to kill someone today. Hurting people can't quell the hatred in my heart," the Imperial Tutor said softly. "
Who are you? What a boastful tone!" Madam Hou looked at the Imperial Tutor, surprised. He was so beautiful, but she had never heard of him.
"My name is Xiao Qingxuan. What did your son do? Don't you know?" the Imperial Tutor asked.
"Oh, you tell me about your mother? I actually know about that. A lowly woman, dead is dead. Besides, it was your old dog father who killed her. Want revenge? Today I'll see if you have the ability." Madam Hou sneered.
*Slap slap...*
Then a figure flashed, followed by a series of rapid slaps. Madam Hou collapsed to the ground, covered in bruises, her face mangled, all her teeth gone.
*Crack crack crack!
* The Imperial Tutor, radiating a chilling aura, stomped on her repeatedly, his eyes indifferent. Madam Hou fainted from the pain, only to be jolted back to reality.
"You're so powerful, so domineering, you don't value other people's lives. Don't you know when good and evil will be rewarded? You don't deserve to be human," the Imperial Tutor said softly.
Young Master Hou was stunned. This was his mother, a renowned strong woman, a figure who could shake the heavens with a stomp in the Qing Tian Kingdom.
Yet now she was being beaten so badly.
Many members of the Hou family were present, but the changes were so rapid that no one had time to react. By the time they did, things had already escalated to this point.
Xiao Qifeng felt only one thing: his blood was boiling, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched. For so many years, this had been bottled up inside him. If things continued like this, he truly wouldn't be able to bear it and would destroy himself.
"Surround them! Very well, I want to see who has the audacity to run wild in my Hou family."
A powerful voice, carrying an indescribable quality—a metallic quality, yet also possessing the roar of a wild beast—said. "
The Marquis!
" "The Marquis has arrived!"
