Chapter 920: A Massive Change In The City

In the garden, Li Tianyu sat quietly in the courtyard.

After Li Shaoyuan appeared and promised to stand up for him, his heart truly calmed down.

This time, his silence was different from before. It was a kind of peace that came from the bottom of his heart, and it made his soul calm down.

After seeing the treasures that Ou Yangming took out and the methods he displayed, he finally realized something. Or rather, that was a fact that he was not willing to face before.

With Li Tianyu’s identity, he could naturally do whatever he wanted in Huixun City, but once he left Huixun City and lost Li Shaoyuan’s protection, what would he have left?

Before this, formidable figures had also appeared in Huixun City but each time they appeared, they always kept a high profile such that even Li Shaoyuan had to accompany them. Therefore, Li Tianyu never got to display his side as a fop. This time, it was different. From the moment both sides met, a seed of conflict had been deeply buried between them.

Li Tianyu, who had always been successful, was finally defeated. In particular, the scenes that happened at the auction left a deep impression on him and would never be forgotten.

It was precisely because he suffered such an immense shock that he was so resentful towards Ou Yangming. Nonetheless, this was also a good thing for him because he finally understood himself and began to control his temper and cultivate seriously.

With the abundant resources that the Li family had, as long as Li Tianyu worked hard, perhaps one day, he would be able to achieve the same achievements as his great ancestor.

Just as he was calming down to cultivate, chaotic shouts completely broke his peaceful state of mind.

Li Tianyu frowned. If it was in the past, he might have already exploded. At this moment, a strong sense of unease somehow welled up in his heart.

He quickly got up and rushed toward the direction of the noise.

A moment later, he arrived at a large hall. Here, the most powerful powerhouses of the family had gathered. Even so, what frightened Li Tianyu was that he could no longer see calmness in their eyes anymore.

Everyone including his father—Li Xinyi—had a look of fear and confusion in their eyes.

Li Tianyu’s heart tightened. He grabbed someone and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

That person was a Spiritualist from the side branch of the clan. His cultivation was higher than Li Tianyu, but he would treat the young master with respect every time.

Despite that, the Spiritualist did not seem to recognize him this time. He just turned his head and glanced at Li Tianyu then looked in a direction blankly.

Li Tianyu followed his gaze and saw a corpse at once.

“Boom…”

A loud bang sounded in his head. He did not even manage to catch his breath and fainted just like that.

He vaguely heard someone shouting, but his heart was filled with fear.

‘How could this be, how could this be…

‘Didn’t the Great Ancestor leave to chase after Yu Tianrui? Why did this happen?’

※※※※

In the Wang residence, Wang Weinian and Wang Haobin looked at each other and saw a deep fear in each other’s eyes.

Of course, there was a hint of excitement in their frightened eyes.

Did Li Shaoyuan’s death not mean that the mountain they were most worried about had disappeared?

Having said that, how exactly mighty was the person who made this mountain disappear? The thought of it alone would make people shiver and have goosebumps.

“That, that person… He could actually do this?” Wang Weinian let out a long sigh. There was a hint of bitterness on his face that could not be put into words.

He did not know where Li Shaoyuan went but even if he used his toes to think, he could guess the reason for his death.

The Li family must have gotten the news that Yu Tianrui was about to leave and knew he had a treasure, so they were blinded by greed and made Li Shaoyuan act recklessly to snatch it. However, no one would have thought that Li Shaoyuan, who was one of the Venerable Ones that created Huixun City, would die because of this.

“A Venerable One must be guarding that person in the dark.” Wang Weinian collected his thoughts and remarked, “On top of that, the Venerable One’s much stronger than Li Shaoyuan.”

Even if a Venerable One could not win a battle against another Venerable One, one could still escape.

That said, Li Shaoyuan’s corpse appeared on the flagpole on the city wall, so it could not be faked.

Being able to kill a Venerable One and defeating a Venerable One were 2 entirely different things.

Nonetheless, they did not know that King Kong’s cultivation had increased greatly on Mount Return Sword because of Ou Yangming, which was why it could kill Li Shaoyuan in one strike. Otherwise, even if they worked together, they might not be able to hold Li Shaoyuan back.

Wang Haobin nodded slightly and asked, “What should we do now?”

After pondering for a while, Wang Weinian said in a deep voice, “Since he hung Li Shaoyuan’s corpse on the city gate, he’s giving us a warning. Let the rest know that we mustn’t offend the Wu family in the future. Those who disobey this order will be heavily punished.”

“Yes.” Wang Haobin was unwilling to do it, but he did not dare to disobey the elder in this matter.

He had always thought highly of himself, but the Venerable One’s corpse shattered his pride.

Wang Weinian paused and added, “Since there’s no news from the 2 elders from the Teng family, the Xue family will definitely return to Donglin City soon to take revenge for the extermination of their clan.”

“If Xue Yan isn’t old and muddle-headed, he’ll surely return as soon as possible.” Wang Haobin was very smart. He immediately understood what his father meant and asked, “Are we going to help them?”

“Heh, this is a good opportunity to ease the relationship between us,” Wang Weinian said in a deep voice, “Remember—the previous matter of going against Yu Tianrui was all the Li family’s idea, and we didn’t get involved at all.”

Wang Haobin nodded hard. If he still did not understand the stakes at this point, he would not need to continue to live.

“Also,” A fierce light flashed in Wang Weinian’s eyes with a hint of excitement. “This is a great opportunity, so we… Can’t miss it.”

Wang Haobin was moved. He instantly thought of Li Tianyu, who used to be domineering in the city. He could not help but smile and responded, “Yes, we definitely won’t miss it.”

At this moment, in Huixun City, other than the Li family who was deeply immersed in their grief, the rest of the clans were pleasantly surprised.

In the Wu residence, after Wu Xiaohuang received the news, he was stunned for a long time before he burst into laughter.

He pulled Xue Yan and shouted crazily. He was as thrilled as a child.

After Ou Yangming left, he had been mentally pressured. While he did not think that the Li family would exterminate their clan for entertaining Ou Yangming, given the Li family’s influence, even if they suppressed the Wu family silently, it would be enough trouble.

Wu Xiaohuang originally thought that the Wu family would at least have to keep a low profile, but the entire situation changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.

He was sure that from now on, the Wu family’s reputation would be greater than before. Even if there were no Venerable Ones in their clan, the Wu family would not be inferior to that of the Wang family and the Li family.

Within a few days, the Huixun City became very lively.

Other than the Li family suddenly becoming particularly low-key, the other clans moved about frequently. The city was filled with an unusual atmosphere.

The Wu family had undoubtedly become one of the most important clans.

However, when the masters from the various families visited the Wu family, they specifically wanted to meet Xue Yan and the beautiful young lady—Xue Xuanle—who was rumored to have an extraordinary relationship with Yu Tianrui.

In order to befriend the Xue family, even Wang Weinian humbled himself and visited them. This made Wu Xiaohuang and Xue Yan feel extremely flattered.

After all, the Wang family and the Li family had been in charge of Huixun City for so many years. Their cultivation levels were almost the same, but the Wang family’s patriarch had a much higher status than the 2 of them.

Once the 2 parties met, they chatted happily. When Wang Weinian asked about the Xue family and found out that they had come to Huixun City to take refuge, he was furious. He was filled with righteous indignation and promised to help the Xue family seek justice.

Xue Yan repeatedly declined Wang Wuinian, but he was unable to avoid the Wang family’s overflowing enthusiasm. As a result, he could only bite the bullet and agree to it. He had also guessed the other party’s intentions, but he did not expect the Wang family to become so different.

A Venerable One’s corpse was enough to cause a huge shock to the fragile Huixun City.

After the news spread, more clans came to visit. They expressed their willingness to help the Xue family. After knowing the harmonious relationship between Ou Yangming and Xue Xuanle, they even sent generous gifts and promised to follow the Xue family to Donglin City.

The result snowballed and caused an exceptional sensation in the city.

Even though the Li family was jealous and indignant about this, they had closed their doors and did not dare to stir up any more trouble. This was because no one knew if the person who killed Li Shaoyuan was still here.

After a few days, when Xue Yan swaggered out of Huixun City and brought the members of his clan and helpers to Donglin City, there were already more than 100 powerhouses with him.

These were true masters who were gathered from the various clans in Huixun City on their initiative. Furthermore, the Xue family did not need to pay any price.

Not to mention that the 2 top-grade Spiritualists from the Teng family had already fallen, even if they were still alive, they could only kneel and welcome the people.

On the main road, the sun was bright and beautiful. When the spring breezes blew past, they carried chillness that could make people quiver.

Several figures left Mount Return Sword and went in the opposite direction of Huixun City. The long shadows were stretched out on the ground and slowly disappeared, leaving only their legend, which would be passed down from generation to generation in Huixun City…
