The mental storm even caused a ripple-like storm, sweeping through the auditorium, as the audience’s clothes and hair billowed. Countless people cradled their heads and groaned in pain. Only those who were mental power awakeners could resist this storm, and few who were especially powerful were immune to it.
After they recovered, countless eyes stared at Li Xianyu, and there was complete silence.
What’s going on?
Is that powerful mental power emerging from the Li family descendant’s body?
Why does a twenty-year-old man have so much mental power? Is he a monster?
A lot of people felt like they finally knew the depth of the Li family descendant’s ability at this point. From what he had just revealed, he was comparable to the top masters in the young generation, with the likes of Li Peiyun and Jie Se.
Weren’t there analysis on the Internet saying that the Li family descendant’s ability was far weaker than Li Peiyun and the others? Then who could explain the situation now?
No one dared to shout and jeer again. Many spectators who were just waiting for drama all kept quiet and didn’t dare to ask for trouble.
What are the wings behind him?
There was no lack of masters gifted in mental power who were present. Many people also saw the pair of wings. The insider knows the ropes, but all the insiders couldn’t tell what the wings were. This exceeded their range of knowledge.
After roaring, all the emotions were released and Li Xianyu’s mood was inexplicably happy. However, his head felt more painful, like taking a blow from a hammer to his brain.
Hua Yang used him as a medium to exert the mental storm, which took a toll on Li Xianyu, as it was too much of a strain. It was like a gentle girl holding an AK47 to shoot a rain of bullets with it, and the recoil could shatter her shoulder.
Li Xianyu resisted the sharp pain in his mind and took a deep breath. His glance swept towards the suddenly quiet audience.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I understand the logic behind ‘an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth.’ Thus, I do not wish to dwell with you on what had happened in the past.”
“Three months ago, when I just emerged, the Shen family’s third son, Shen Meng wanted me dead, when I had yet to develop my abilities fully and was not strong enough to protect myself. That night, I fell from the top of a twenty-story building and died once. Do you think I should take revenge?”
“The Shen family has gone overboard. They harmed a person’s life, yet do not allow a person to seek revenge? There is no such reason. The old thief, Shen Kuo actually declared that we should settle this matter in peace.”
“You killed someone and took all the advantages you could get. Do you think you can get away with trying to make peace? I have never seen such a shameless man.”
“All of you here are born from a reputable family or are from a good background. You call yourselves righteous, so you chivalrous men of the righteous path, do you think I should make peace?”
There was silence in the audience. Some looked at each other, while some were deep in contemplation. Some people were simply anticipating drama excitedly, and this matter had nothing to do with them.
They were the small families, and scattered cultivators organizations who did not participate in the siege against Li Wuxiang.
However, that didn’t prevent them from following the trend to shout a few sentences of “Destroy your own cultivation”. Using internet lingo, the Shen family had set the tempo for them and they had been influenced.
“Regarding the rules of the Forum Conference, we are not allowed to kill. Shen Bi is not dead, so I did not break the rules. But the Shen family members are sore losers.”
“They are clearly bullying a poor scattered cultivator like me, using their family background. Fellow scattered cultivators, haven’t you had such experiences before? Don’t you think they’re shameless?”
Suddenly, it turned into a class struggle, but many of the scattered cultivators in the room still felt that he had made a good point and empathized with him.
The Shen family members’ faces were green with fury.
“I know a lot of you are against me, because I am Li Wuxiang’s son. Everyone is clear about what happened in the past. You killed my father and made me an orphan from childhood. I had to grow up in foster care in other people’s homes. Now that I have grown up, you are afraid that I would take revenge.”
“You use all kinds of methods to target me and treat me as an enemy. All of you here are righteous people. Is that how righteous people behave? I’m still a child. Is bullying a child brazenly the ways of you bunch of righteous people?”
“You want the address of the Great Deities Palace and my great-grandmother has compromised. She’s the Unparalleled War Spirit, and she has compromised. When the Great Deities Palace opens, you can enter.
“Be it the Demonic Priest or my father, you too can obtain the item they had obtained from the Great Deities Palace then. What else do you want from me?”
“On the day where the Great Deities Palace opens, we can make a fortune together, it is a win-win cooperation. There’s no need to target me like this. If you push me into a corner, I won’t hesitate to burn bridges.”
Some people were disdainful, while some were expressionless. However, some members of the Buddhist society looked ashamed. Li Xianyu was right in two pints, From the beginning to the end, he was never the one in the wrong. If they pushed him too far, he has the ability to drag them down together.
“I promise that I will no longer pursue my father’s affairs. But in the future, if a family, or a faction of the Buddhist society plays dirty tricks, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Shen Kuo sneered, “An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. The Great Deities Palace is the property of the demon descendants community, and not that of the Li family. It was your family who had occupied the Great Deities Palace, not us who persecuted you.”
Someone immediately agreed, “Yes, Li Wuxiang wouldn’t have ended up in that state if he had handed over the treasure.”
“We just wanted to see what he had taken from the Great Deities Palace, to find the ruins of the Great Deities Palace but he regarded the Great Deities Palace as his own. He was entirely to blame for his fate.”
“What the hell, why are we wasting our breath with this boy? The demon descendants community has always operated on the law of the jungle, this is a rule everyone acknowledges.”
Li Xianyu glanced around. Up to now, those who were still arguing with him, were from the seven major families. Those guys were the main force who killed his dad.
Another faction were the women, who were Shen Bi’s diehard fans who hated Li Xianyu to the core. It had nothing to do with Great Deities Palace or the treasure, but because Li Xianyu had destroyed their oppa. Fortunately, he hadn’t made enemies with everyone present. Li Xianyu beckoned expressionlessly.
Firstly, a figure descended from the sky, crashing to the ground. The impact caused half the ring to collapse. It was a girl with long hair billowing around her.
She was petite and lovely, and there was an eye-catching mole right below her right eye. However, murderous intent surged from her gaze.
The Unparalleled War Spirit! As soon as she appeared, the effect of domination was immediate. Everyone’s shouting suddenly quieted.
Next, a gale of wind raged in the premises. A normal domestic cat rushed towards the ring, as it transformed with every step it took. When it leapt onto the ring, it transformed into a massive five-meter long, colorful tiger. It slowly turned its head, its cold gaze sweeping across the crowd.
“A mountain god?!” A Taoist priest who was gifted in aura detection recognized Cui Hua. These days, mountain gods were extinct, which makes them even rarer than horned salamanders.
Mountain gods were no different from common foreign species to common demon descendants. However, in the eyes of the Taoist clan members, the meaning was entirely different. Strictly speaking, the mountain gods and the Taoist immortals were from the same system.
In ancient times, if there were mountain spirits or beasts who had their own temple, the Taoist clan members were usually courteous and avoided them as much as they could. Killing a mountain god would bring damage to their own fortune, and bring about bad karma.
One after another, many figures landed behind Li Xianyu
All of Baoze’s 20 senior staff members had arrived. Some were smoking a cigarette, some had their hands in their pockets, some were smirking coldly, their eyes narrowed and some were looking upwards in a 45-degree angle. There were all kinds of poses.
San Wu was even more direct. She dragged out of two baskets of bricks from her leather wallet. With her ammunition full, as long as someone speaks out, she will not hesitate to throw a brick over.
The senior staff were the strongest under S-class staff. They were the cornerstone of Baoze. The ten gods of Baoze are not easily dispatched, so the senior staff were basically Baoze’s external strength.
Every single one was a master.
Great-Grandma stood at the front, and behind her was Li Xianyu. Standing behind Li Xianyu was Cui Hua, who looked domineering in her tiger form. Rounding up, was a group of senior staff in the back row. This line-up could dominate everyone, even at the Forum Conference.
The scene grew even quieter.
Lightning King chuckled. “What’s going on? All you people know how to do all day is to make trouble. Haven’t we already settled the matter of the Great Deities Palace during the forum?”
“You seven major families... Oh sorry, it’s six major families now, and the various sect leaders and abbotts of the Taoist and Buddhist factions and clans... Everyone has signed the contract.”
“The Li family descendant will bring you to locate the Great Deities Palace, and you will no longer target him. This is written in black and white, do you think you can change things on a whim?” Lightning King spoke loudly as he was in charge of reconciling the matter.
“Comrade Shen Kuo, I have to criticize you here. Why are you trying to influence everyone here to go along with your tempo, aren’t you kicking up a fuss? Oh, your son lost, and you are a sore loser, so you just pull everybody together to resent the Li family descendant.”
“What kind of tempo are you trying to play here? The families and his Li family are already at odds to begin with.”
“What do you mean kicking up a fuss.” Shen Kuo spat angrily. “My son died for nothing?”
“How is he dead? He’s not dead, isn’t he?” Lightning King clapped his palm on the top of his hand, the sound ringing. “Isn’t he well and alive? At most, he would become bedridden for a period of time.”
“You should know, what’s the difference between that and death? Li Xianyu can kill my son this time, and he can kill the children of other families next time!” Shen Kuo roared. That resonated with the hearts of the major forces.
“Look at you, you are influencing people to go with your tempo again.” Lightning King’s eyes narrowed, his expression gradually changed and his tone grew cold. His voice wasn’t loud, but he channeled energy so that it rang in the air.
“Li Xianyu is a member of Baoze. It’s alright if you are not afraid of the Unparalleled War Spirit, but I think you should understand Baoze’s staff manual.”
Lightning King declared, “If anyone injures our companion, we will do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
All staff said, “A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, pay blood with blood.”
Everyone’s aura immediately changed. This group of senior staff who were usually goofing around, exhibited a murderous aura that only battlefield veterans could condense.
Lightning King looked around the audience “You said that the Great Deities Palace is a common property of the demon descendants community. It does not belong to anyone, and anyone can enter. Baoze uses the principle of helping each other and living in harmony with you.”
“But this does not mean that Baoze has no temper and is a pushover. From the day that Baoze has been founded, we have established branches throughout the country. Till this year, we have 4,000 senior staff and 20,000 middle-ranked staff.”
“Our company is a demon descendants community. We maintain order in the demon descendants community and are never afraid of troublemakers. Whoever feels like he can go head on with Baoze, you are welcome to try.”
“You want to enter the Great Deities Palace, and Baoze has helped you negotiate, mediate, and provided channels. We have fulfilled our part duly. If you continue to push it, I don’t care if you are the Shen family or the Wu family, your name will end up being removed from the demon descendants community.”
Li Xianyu has never seen such a domineering and badass Lightning King before. This was unlike his behavior in the company.
As soon as the official authorities came forward, the onlookers immediately piped down and stopped their commotion. The members of the major demon descendant families, in spite of their anger, dared not speak up.
The forces of the demon descendant community can be divided into three camps, the Buddhist society was a centrist, the demon descendant families were on the right, and Baoze was on the left. Although there were plenty of scattered cultivators forces, they were a bunch of rag-tags and did not pose any threat.
Baoze bullied the demon descendant families, the demon descendant families bullied the scattered cultivators, and the Buddhist society mediated all parties and remained neutral.
Once an evil cult emerged, everyone would bully the cult together.
Lightning King had made his point very clearly, and Shen Kuo did not continue to pursue the matter. If Baoze really struck, the Shen family alone could not withstand Baoze. With a wave, he instructed someone to carry Shen Bi away and gave a lingering glance at Li Xianyu and the Unparalleled War Spirit.
He’s very eloquent and has a way with words. One isn’t afraid of a villain being bitchy, but one should be afraid of an intelligent villain. Sakurai Yukinako thought to herself.
After the end of the storm, the competition continued and the onlookers continued to watch. Occasionally women were seen holding onto tissue and crying, feeling sorry for their Shen Bi oppa.
Some people broadcast the story through a text post online.
#Li family descendant snarks at major families furiously #
# One down from the Seven Young Masters of the demon descendants community #
#Li family descendant KO-ed the Shen family’s Shen Bi in a one move #
They didn’t even have to come up with clickbait titles. Just describing it plainly would make the headlines in the demon descendants community.
After such a show, Li Xianyu wasn’t in the mood to stay. He brought Great-Grandma, Cui Hua, San Wu, and Thunderbolt Battle Lady and left. These women were the appointed members of his harem team. Of course, they themselves might not be willing.
After he developed his harem team, he didn’t even have to strike himself. Where Li Xianyu pointed, his harem army would attack.
However, my harem team is full of dangerous women. Other than the silly girl, San Wu who is easy to support, the rest are all spendthrifts. Great-Grandma herself is both a spendthrift and an energy-sucker. Li Xianyu thought to himself.
If I were to add Ice Shards...
Everyone is a goddamn spendthrift. However, Ice Shards is an ordinary person, she cannot be involved in the demon descendants community.
Besides, with Ice Shard’s character, if she entered the harem team, her first sentence will probably be: “I’m not targeting anyone, but everyone here is garbage,” Li Xianyu thought.
Regarding such matters, Li Xianyu could only imagine. No matter how beautiful his sister was, she was still his sister. There was no such thing as a perverted younger brother who had designs on his elder sister.
As he walked across Daxiong Great Hall, Li Xianyu went to find Buddha Head, and was ready to bootlick him again. Attempting to become the champion of the youth group was too difficult.
He couldn’t withstand Mother Hua Yang’s mental storm again after bearing it once; his brain was about to explode. But she couldn’t show up to fight for him. If he were to cheat too often, he was likely to be disqualified after getting caught.
An ordinary clash of mental power could defeat Shen Bi effortlessly, as he was a weak chicken who couldn’t even enter the top 100 of the demon descendants list. However, Jie Se and Dan Chenzi were incredibly powerful. Both were solid S-class masters.
If he could bootlick Buddha Head enough, maybe he’ll lower his demands.
When Li Xianyu arrived at Daxiong Great Hall, he was stopped by Jie Se at the courtyard gate.
“Master is meeting esteemed guests,” Jie Se said expressionlessly.
“We’ll wait in the yard,” Li Xianyu replied.
Jie Se shook his head.
Great-Grandma suddenly took out her remaining half box of popcorn, and poured them out in front of Jie Se. She then stepped on the white popcorn right, leaving footprints in front of his face.
The corners of Jie Se’s mouth was twitching to begin with. Upon seeing this, the frequency of twitching increased.
He had been bullied by Great-Grandma before and swallowed it down. He then targeted Li Xianyu, “If you cheat again and ask Elder Hua Yang to help you, I will disqualify you.”
It was reasonable for a grandson to pay his great-grandma’s debt.
So you watched my competition secretly, Li Xianyu thought.
“Uncle, don’t be like this. I’m your junior. Don’t you know how to take care of your junior?” Li Xianyu said cheekily.
“Who is your uncle?” Jie Se’s expression changed, and he had goosebumps all over his body.
“Buddha Head is my grandfather, you are his disciple, that is, his son. There’s nothing wrong if I call you uncle.”
He was speechless. I have never seen such a brazen and shameless man, Jie Se thought.
Creak. The lattice door opened, and three Taoist priests wearing their priest robes walked out of the room. The one in the center was wearing a crown shaped like a lotus, and was wearing a black priest robe adorned with golden details. It was magnificent. It also made him look wise.
On the left, was an elderly, white-haired priest. He looked youthful despite his white hair, but looking at his priest robes, it was obvious that he was not as highly-ranked as the Taoist priest in the center.
On the right was a middle-aged Taoist nun. She had a curvaceous and charming figure. She was definitely an absolute beauty when she was young, even now, she was a rare mature beauty.
Before Li Xianyu could fully admire the figure and charm of the beautiful woman, a sharp pain suddenly surged in his mind, disgust, hatred, anger... Many emotions welled up. These were Hua Yang’s emotions. Li Xianyu immediately guessed the identity of the beautiful Taoist nun.
Liuyun Temple, Elder Hua Yu.
Li Xianyu’s temples twitched madly. Hua Yang was leaving the state where her primordial spirit was integrated with Li Xianyu. She was emerging!
