Chapter 112
In the courtyard of the Xiao family estate, a man named Xiao Xun was cultivating. As the direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Mountain-Moving Sect, Xiao Xun had reached the early stage of the Sea Observation Realm by the age of thirty.
Although his accomplishments paled in comparison to those of disciples from the great sects, Xiao Xun was regarded as a genius within the Mountain-Moving Sect and most other sects in the world. Over the years, Xiao Xun would occasionally return to Baihe County, where he was treated like an emperor.
Here, he could indulge in whatever pleasures he desired. If anyone dared to oppose him, he could kill them without consequence. Life in Baihe County was nothing short of blissful freedom for him.
The Xiao family also exploited the influence of Xiao Xun’s sect to amass wealth in Baihe County. There was even a saying in the county:
“A single dog of the Xiao family is worth more than the people of Baihe County.”
This stemmed from an incident where someone accidentally kicked the Xiao family’s dog. That person was beaten to death for the offense.

“Son, son!” Xiao Laoye (Old Master), who was over sixty, rushed into the courtyard with a worried expression.
“What is it?” Xiao Xun’s tone carried a hint of irritation.
