Chapter 203 Invitation to Battle
Everything is quiet!
No one expected that the mysterious new Jin Dan master in their hearts would be the escaped young master of the Li family. Three years ago, Li Liangyu was only in the early stage of foundation building.
At this moment, everyone only sees the young man standing proudly in the air with a crazy momentum. Various thoughts are flashing in his heart, but no one doubts his determination.
There will definitely be a battle between Tao Zhenren and Li Liangyu!
They unconsciously held their breath, waiting for the cultivator's response.
The whole audience was already paying attention to the breakthrough of the new cultivator. They didn't believe that the cultivator wouldn't pay attention.
Not to mention that Li Liangyu just named him. If Master Xiu didn't come out to give a response, it would mean that he had a guilty conscience and weakened his momentum first, which in vain allowed Li Liangyu to stand on the dominant side of public opinion.
Although the Li family has now become the Tao family, and everyone has acquiesced to this fact, no one present knew that the Tao family had swallowed up the Li family's foundation.
Now that the true master is back, the cultivator's situation becomes a bit embarrassing.
This is also true.
…
Tao family.
Master Xiu, who was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, thinking of having someone prepare gifts to visit the newly-minted Master, was now looking ashen.
"Asshole!"
Master Xiu slapped his palm on the tea table in front of him and said angrily:
"Zhong Yun mistaken me!"
It was Zhong Yun who went after Li Liangyu that year, the late-stage foundation-building monk who followed behind.
He was originally a guest of the Li family, but later Xiu Zhen took charge of the Li family. The situation became extremely difficult to control, and his butt inevitably became crooked.
In order for the cultivator to successfully take over the Li family's foundation, he naturally had to win over people's hearts and not use excessive violence, so he was more polite to Zhong Keqing, and even promised to give away treasures such as secret realm tokens in exchange for Zhong Yun's Homecoming.
After all, the county magistrate next to him is still watching with eager eyes, ready to subdue local powerful people like them at any time and let the city lord's family dominate.
The reason why he has been able to replace the Li family with the Tao family so smoothly in these years is also because the county magistrate has put too much pressure on him and others urgently need a Jindan master to carry the banner.
Otherwise, the Li family has been inherited for hundreds of years and has a complicated network of relationships that can all lead to the Xuanyang Sect. How can he, who is not named Jin Dan, just take advantage of it.
Qiufeng County has sent many disciples to Xuanyang Sect over the years.
Among them there are many young disciples who have entered the inner sect, and there are also many Jindan masters who have become elders of the outer sect.
They were born in Qiufeng County and have inextricable connections with local forces.
If he was pushed by local forces, sued, and attracted the attention of the Shangzong, his little golden elixir would mean nothing.
As long as there are rules, you cannot do whatever you want unless you have the strength to overwhelm all opposition.
He obviously does not have this qualification.
Otherwise, he would have simply exterminated all the Li family bloodline to avoid future troubles. There would be no need to spend decades cutting flesh with a blunt knife and weakening the Li family's power bit by bit.
In the end, he had to recruit a group of people to attack others, and in the name of civil strife in the Li family, he asked the Li family who surrendered to him to take action. Only then did the main line of the Li family, where Li Liangyu was born, completely disappear.
To this day, in your family, the surrender faction of the Li family still accounts for only a small part.
However, most of these people are already married to members of the Tao family. In one or two generations, they will regard themselves as members of the Tao family, not the Li family.
So that day when Zhong Yun got back Li Liangyu's belongings and the secret token, he didn't have any doubts.
Even the token of the secret realm was lost. Even if Zhong Yun softened his heart and let him live, the remaining Li Liangyu would not be enough.
How can it be that the golden elixir realm is so easy to break through?
Even if hundreds of years later, Li Liangyu breaks through the golden elixir realm and returns, by then the Tao family has already become a powerful local power.
Li Liangyu is alone.
If he dared to attack him, it would be tantamount to provoking the local forces in Qiufeng County. For the sake of local order, even the county magistrate might have to help him.
Even the Li family bloodline he raised could become his hostage if they changed hands.
Therefore, the old god of Xiuzhen is here and does not care about Li Liangyu's life or death at all.
Who would have thought that only a few years have passed.
Li Liangyu had grown enough to threaten him, completely disrupting his plan.
"Damn it! If I had known this, I shouldn't have cared about other people's opinions back then. I should have taken action to eliminate this scourge myself!"
The confidant butler who was summoned by Master Xiu was looking at his nose, nose and heart at the moment, pretending not to hear.
Just now, the real person was still laughing and discussing the preferences of the new real person with him, to see if he was just passing through, borrowing a place to break through, or if he planned to live there permanently, and if there was any chance to win him over to your house.
As a result, before the gifts were picked, the new real person gave them a big surprise.
But the next moment, he saw his real person instantly restrained his anger and changed into his usual gentle look.
There are very few practitioners who have poor appearance and poor temperament.
Xiu Zhenren is no exception. His current image is that of a mature and handsome man in his thirties, with an elegant face and a bookish air, which makes people very fond of him.
Without this skinny temperament, he would not have been able to get help from noble people many times, and step by step from an ordinary person with a commoner background, he became the Jindan Master he is today.
"Haha, why is Liangyu so angry?
When I heard that you ran away from home, I was quite sad and couldn't eat for a few days. Now I see that you have returned safely and can achieve the golden elixir in just a few years. Even if my ancestors have spirits in heaven, they must also be able to Relieved. "
The cultivator took one step forward, and he was already in the air. He and Li Liangyu looked at each other dozens of miles apart, like a close elder who was teaching them earnestly.
"Liangyu, since you are back, why don't you go home?"
"Home, do I still have a home?"
Li Liangyu laughed heartily, the mad rage in his eyes almost uncontrollable, and he had the urge to go up and fight for his life on the spot.
But reason told him that he was no match for Xiuzhen.
The cultivator has been practicing for nearly two hundred years. When he was young, he helped the Li family expand their territory. He has much more experience in martial arts than him.
Moreover, Xiu Zhen has made a breakthrough in the orthodox Golden elixir realm, and has been consolidating in the Golden elixir realm for decades. Taking charge of the Li family in these years will inevitably mobilize the resources of the Li family to cultivate the Golden elixir supernatural power for himself.
Therefore, even if he only mastered the lower third-grade golden elixir magical power, his strength would be much higher than that of a heretic like him, the golden elixir.
Not to mention that the Li family's ancestral magic weapon has now fallen into the hands of Xiu Zhenren. He went up to fight for it at this moment, but gave him the opportunity to act openly and honestly.
Therefore, the plan the young master gave him was not to make him act impulsively and desperately, but to take advantage of this highly anticipated opportunity to challenge Master Xiu to a fight!
"Old thief of Yuanxiu, I think everyone here is clear about the rights and wrongs. You have occupied my Li family's property for so many years, and it's time to return it!
When your ancestor passed away and you took over the Li family, you promised in the presence of all your uncles that when the Li family's golden elixir appeared, you would abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your throne.
Now that I'm back, is it time for you to fulfill your promise? "
Li Liangyu sneered.
The cultivator immediately felt a thump in his heart.
Back then, he used the power of the golden elixir to force the Li family. In order to prevent the Li family from fighting with him and give them a little hope, he promised that as long as someone in the Li family broke through to the golden elixir realm again, he would abdicate and return the Li family.
But over the years, all the talented children of the Li family have either died young or have moved to the Tao family, doing a lot of dirty work for the Tao family and taking advantage of them.
If not, why would Li Liangyu pretend to be a playboy and confuse others by pretending to have no ambitions?
Seeing that Master Xiu was silent, Li Liangyu choked and said:
"Is it possible that the noble cultivator is so forgetful that he can lick back the saliva he once spit out?
Although I, Li Liangyu, am a junior, I have heard it mentioned by my elders. Nowadays, there are many monks here who have experienced what happened in the past. I would like to ask a few of them to recount the scene that day. "
"No."
Master Xiu stopped pretending and said calmly:
"I did say these words back then, but now and then, the Li family is experiencing civil strife and people's hearts are in turmoil. Changing generals again will only cause the Li family to decline again.
In the past, my ancestors treated me with great kindness. Even though I was subject to some rumors, I still wanted to pass on this family well for him.
Of course, if you can convince the Li family to accept you, then it doesn't matter if I give up my position to you.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t. "
Li Liangyu smiled angrily: "You are so eloquent, no wonder my great-grandmother would rather die than marry you.
Since it’s useless to talk more, let’s see what we can do.
Old thief who cultivates friendship! You and I will fight, life or death! Do you dare to agree? "
The cultivator is naturally moved.
He was confident that his decades of experience in the realm of golden elixirs was not comparable to that of Li Liangyu, a newcomer to the golden elixir realm.
Li Liangyu probably didn't even have time to condense the golden elixir magical power.
Moreover, he had acquired the Li family's inherited skills long ago, and he had already memorized the restraints and flaws in them.
Li Liangyu had almost no chance of winning in a battle with him.
But Li Liangyu couldn't think of the problems he could think of. Since he dared to raise this challenge, he naturally had his confidence.
"Why, Master Xiu is still afraid of a junior like me and doesn't dare to challenge, or is he feeling guilty?"
Li Liangyu said with a sarcastic smile.
But the more Li Liangyu acted like this, the more fearful Xiuzhen felt. But on the surface, his emotions didn't fluctuate much, and he just responded lightly:
"Since Liangyu still wants to misunderstand me, I have no choice but to agree.
However, Liangyu, you have just made a breakthrough and your aura is unstable. I will not take advantage of you, so I will give you a month to consolidate your cultivation.
One month later, you choose the location, and I will fight with you. "
One month was enough for him to investigate some of Li Liangyu's trump cards.
At the same time, he was also worried that Li Liangyu was bluffing, so he deliberately scared him and gave him a month, which was just right.
"good!"
Li Liangyu agreed on the spot, and also extended an invitation to the mountain:
"Magistrate Yan, Liangyu is brave, I wonder if I can ask you to be the notary?"
A heroic laugh came from an elegant manor in the mountains. It was the local magistrate Yan You.
"Haha, I am a political party, and I have never presided over a fight between Jindan real people. Fellow Daoist Li, I agree to this matter."
"This legal battle is a major event in our Qiufeng City. All of you, my comrades, must not be absent when the time comes."
Magistrate Yan was worthy of being a disciple of Xuanyang Sect. He swept his spiritual consciousness into the mountain and instantly suppressed the entire crowd.
The other Qi-training and foundation-building monks could only nod in agreement.
"Yes, what the magistrate said is true. We must go to such a grand event."
"It is also an honor for us to be able to witness real-life martial arts fighting in our lifetime."
"Qiufeng City hasn't been so lively for a long time."
"Let's go together!"
…
Seeing everyone giving face like this, Magistrate Yan's consciousness quickly became silent.
When Li Liangyu landed in the cave and Master Xiu returned to his mansion, the tense atmosphere in the air was suddenly gone.
All that's left is the burning desire for gossip among the melon-eating crowd.
I saw the collision and exchange of spiritual consciousness in the air becoming more intense.
"Li Liangyu, the young master of the Li family, never thought that when the Li family was about to be destroyed, someone like this would appear again. The Li family's luck is still there."
"The cultivators let the tiger return to the mountain. Now that the young tiger has grown up, it's time for a backlash."
"But if I remember correctly, he is the dandy from the Li family. He was jealous of my grandson over a brothel girl, and he was taught a terrible lesson by my grandson's bodyguard."
"..."
Dozens of spiritual consciousnesses instantly became silent.
It took a while before the consciousness made a sound.
"Fellow Taoist can still stand here and speak so calmly, I really admire you."
"I suggest you, Taoist friend, to break away from your grandson as soon as possible."
"By the way, the person who just said that he almost had a conflict with the extraordinary Mr. Yu is also a fellow Taoist."
"Fellow Taoist, I have a grandson who is so capable of causing trouble. He is still alive today. I am very surprised and admired."
An old melon-eating man in the crowd turned dark and was no longer in the mood to talk, so he turned around and left.
As for whether he went home to beat his children, it is unknown.
The remaining people are still talking about Li Liangyu, the new real person.
"A few years ago, Zhenren Li was a playboy in the county town who needed to cover up his self-degradation. In the blink of an eye, he turned into Zhenren Jindan that we look up to.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have just thought it was a dream. "
"Yes, I remember Master Li is less than forty. With such talent, if he could join the Xuanyang Sect, he would have already skyrocketed."
"To be precise, he is thirty-seven years old. Young Master Li escaped from Qiufeng City three years ago and was in the early stage of foundation building."
"hiss……"
"What kind of opportunity does it take for a person in the early stages of foundation building to break through to the golden elixir realm in just three years?"
When Li Liangyu's age and cultivation were revealed in front of everyone, everyone suddenly lost their interest.
This kind of entry cannot be described as a monster.
They seemed to see a whirlpool suddenly appearing behind Li Liangyu, swallowing everyone up.
Some people's eyes flickered, a little more greedy.
If they were allowed to figure out the reason why Li Liangyu entered the realm so quickly, wouldn't it mean that they would also have a chance to break through to the Golden Core realm.
Li Liangyu used it for three years, but they are not nearly as qualified. Thirty years should be enough.
Because a new Jin Dan real person staged the prince's revenge, Qiu Feng City, which had been peaceful for many years, suddenly experienced numerous undercurrents.
…
When Yu Xian walked out of the cave, he was keenly aware that there were a lot of eyes outside, all observing the movements of the cave.
Someone else came out and tried to talk to him pretending to meet him by chance, probably trying to get some information about Li Liangyu from him.
But he just took out his folding fan and paid no attention to anyone. As if he was going his own way, he swaggered down the mountain, went to a teahouse where he usually went, and opened a private room.
When the waiter served the pastries and tea, he bowed and left, closing the door. A formation rose from outside the box, isolating the inside and outside of the box.
"Why did you have to wait a month? Then you killed the cultivator directly. Why did you need to create complications?"
Without outsiders, the real person Wan Beast couldn't wait to appear.
He is the most interested person in Li Liangyu's revenge. Because in a sense, he and Li Liangyu are the same type of people.
Yu Xian calmly took a sip of tea: "Be civilized and don't fight and kill at every turn.
Now is not the time in Shangyang City, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I am the biggest earth emperor, and it doesn't matter who I kill.
But there are so many informants here, I can still kill them all.
The purpose of giving him a month is to see what cards this cultivator has. If he can't afford to offend him, it will be convenient for us to leave.
Although the probability of this is very small, I am still willing to give him a month. "
In the past three years, they have not stopped investigating Xiuzhen, but they have found nothing.
Because his life trajectory is very clear, there is almost no empty time.
Being able to achieve the golden elixir is most likely because he stole the opportunity of the dead Li family's golden elixir seed, rather than joining some mysterious force.
After all, according to the protagonist's usual script, usually after the protagonist takes revenge, he will find out that there is some mysterious organization behind the enemy. It turns out that there is a secret behind the great revenge.
So all the way, no, all the way to investigate, and thus begins the protagonist's magnificent second half of life.
So don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.
Li Liangyu's high-profile appearance served to alert others.
After all, Li Liangyu could break through the golden elixir in three years, so why would Master Xiu risk his own life to bet that Li Liangyu, who had just broken through, could not kill him.
If he has any trump card, he should reveal it.
Now, outside your house, a group of hard-working bees are gathering honey. They are all under the eyes of the queen bee. If there is any trouble in your house, she will not be able to escape her sight.
Master Wan Beast said in astonishment: "What about Li Liangyu's revenge?"
Yu Xian rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I'm not his nanny. I don't care if he dies. I haven't even considered my investment in him.
Do you think the third-level cave house on the mountain is very cheap? The rent is 10,000 yuan a year.
The most important thing is when did I promise to help him get revenge? "
"No?"
"Is there any?"
Master Wan Beast thought carefully and found that there really wasn't.
From the beginning to the end, Yu Xian's words to Li Liangyu were to give him a chance for revenge.
Opportunity means possible success or failure.
"What about my revenge?"
All beasts really have some things that harm their own kind, and they worry about gains and losses.
Yu Xian remembered that Zhenren Wanshou was still useful, and that he had indeed taught him a lot over the years, so he quickly put on a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, you are different from Li Liangyu. He is broke and still owes me a large debt, but you have a lot of money.
I have wronged no one and I cannot treat you wrong.
Don't worry, when I develop well, I will definitely avenge you. "
As for what constitutes good development, only he himself knows.
The real person Wan Beast was not so easy to fool, but said quietly:
"Yu Xian, what if I say that you may offend True Lord Nascent Soul if you take revenge?"
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, took off the Ten Thousand Beast Soul Flag and patted it on the table, sighing:
"Fellow Daoist Yang, this is because you are being dishonest. Since it involves True Lord Nascent Soul, this matter will cost more.
You get what you pay for, you can't let me work for nothing. "
When Master Wan Beast heard what Yu Xian said, not only was he not angry, but he felt warm in his heart.
Because Yu Xian did not reject him directly.
However, there was a wry smile on his face:
"I thought we could have some friendship."
Yu Xian snorted coldly: "Talk about love and hurt money, otherwise you pay more deposit. I remember you still have three third-level demon pills, right?"
Yu Xian was joking casually. The real Wan Beasts valued the last inheritance in his pocket more than anything else. It was his thought and hope.
But this time, Master Wan Beast did not refuse, but said: "If you can answer a question, I can give you a demon pill."
Yu Xian said: "What's the problem?"
Master Wan Beast asked solemnly: "Why do you need other people's heavenly aura?"
