Chapter 409: Chapter 409

"This time, not only will we determine the superior, but we will also split life and death!"

Wang Zihao spoke with extreme confidence.

Xu Hao smiled indifferently, "Interesting. Since you want to play, I'll join in the game. Cao An, take control of this family. After I deal with Wang Zihao, I'll take care of them."

Cao An glanced at Wang Zihao and realized that he didn't care at all about the lives of the middle-aged woman and her family.

He sighed, waved his hand, and had people take control of the middle-aged woman's family. No matter how they shouted, it was useless.

"Hahaha! Good! I've heard that today's feast is hosted by the Qian Family, so after lunch, you and I will fight a life and death battle on top of that Black Turtle Statue!"

Wang Zihao laughed loudly, left those words behind, and leapt away like a swallow, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Qian Jiuyue quickly approached and said, "Young Master Xu, the enemy is indeed strong, but don't worry. My father is a Grandmaster, and Elder Sun has also arrived today; he's a Grandmaster too. With such people present, a Half step Grandmaster like him won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Xu Hao smiled, "Don't worry, he's not my match."

Qian Jiuyue spoke with delight, "Haha! Young Master Xu, you're as confident as ever!"

Qian Changle said worriedly, "The elders from the Wu Family, Zhou Family, and other clans will also be present. They are seniors and will not act against Young Master Xu directly, but if Young Master Xu cannot defeat Wang Zihao and we try to intervene, they will surely step in to stop us."

Xu Hao smiled, "You really don't have to worry. He's not my opponent."

He was also slightly shocked in his heart. These great families indeed had deep foundations; the Family Heads of the Four Great Families were all Grandmaster-level experts!

They also maintained a host of Revered Masters, among whom were numerous powerful individuals!

Although Xu Hao said this, they didn't fully believe him.

Wang Zihao had become a Half Step Grandmaster in less than two months. There had to be a powerful force behind him. With such backing, his strength would surely be substantial. Whether Xu Hao could defeat Wang Zihao was still an unknown.

Qian Jiuyue chuckled, "Since Young Master Xu is full of confidence, we will believe in you! Moreover, thank you for saving my uncle. He and my father are waiting for you at Chang Pavilion. They are of old age and can't stand for long, so I will have someone notify them to come over to greet you."

Xu Hao waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. The two elders are of advanced age; it wouldn't be right to have them come over. After all, I am the junior and should be the one to visit them."

The luxury of Liuguang Manor far exceeded Anna and Jiang Xuezhun's expectations.

The ground was entirely paved with white marble, the railings were carved with lifelike dragons, phoenixes, and other mythological creatures, and right across from the main gate of the manor stood a massive black turtle statue that was over ten meters tall!

This was the statue Wang Zihao had mentioned earlier.

The Black Turtle rested its massive limbs on the earth, with each mighty enough to be embraced by three people, and its vast turtle shell covering its back. Its head stretched out of the shell, gazing upwards towards the sky. Find the source of this chapter at *.

When Xu Hao saw this Black Turtle Statue, his heart stirred slightly.

In Huxiao Villa, right across the main gate, there was a giant statue of the White Tiger War God.

In mythological tales, the Black Turtle and White Tiger represent stillness and movement, respectively, and are not harmonious.

And these two statues seemed to express that disharmony.

For their locations were clashing with each other.

However, statues are but lifeless objects, and even if their positions were in conflict, it wouldn't affect anything, so Xu Hao didn't take it to heart.

Anna spoke at that moment, "I did some research last night. There are photos of that White Tiger War God statue online. Although they are quite blurry, probably taken from a plane in the sky, you can still see that the statue is very majestic."

Qian Jiuyue then said, "Miss Anna is correct. All three estates have their unique attributes, each with a statue—Liuguang Villa has the Black Turtle, Huxiao Villa has the White Tiger, and Yicai Estate has the Vermilion Bird. This shows that the owner here must be very interested in traditional Huaya mythology."

At that moment, Xu Hao asked, "Does Patriarch Qian know who the owners of these estates are?"

Qian Jiuyue shook his head, "I really don't know. Even the older people like my father may not be aware. These three estates are managed by agents, and to my knowledge, the real owners have never appeared."

Xu Hao nodded. These were, after all, things from over a hundred years ago; it was normal that some information couldn't be found.

Elder Qian Qian Shanchuan was sitting in Chang Pavilion, chatting with several old gentlemen. When Xu Hao approached, he instantly stood up, and as he walked over, he declared loudly, "Xu Xiao You, thank you for curing my illness. I'm not fully recovered yet, so I couldn't greet you at the main gate."

The other old men also stood up and approached Xu Hao while continuously observing him and his group.

They were seeing Xu Hao in person for the first time and found that he did not appear as fearsome as the rumors suggested.
