"You... you dare speak to like that!" The disciple from the Sword Concealnt Manor’s face changed, and he flew into a rage.
"How else do you want to speak to you? Should I sing it?"
Qin Li looked at the man before him as if he were an idiot, shook his head helplessly, and turned to Shangguan Shiyu. "Shiyu, let’s go."
Shangguan Shiyu nodded obediently. She had no fondness for these so-called disciples of great clans and major sects, either.
"Who the hell do you think you are? A little bastard from a family on the verge of being wiped out! Don’t think you can be so arrogant just because you have a bit of strength!" This young disciple from the Sword Concealnt Manor had spent his entire life as the center of attention. He had never suffered such disrespect and began to lash out without thinking.
"Who are you talking about?"
Qin Li’s eyes shot out two cold glints as he stared icily at the Sword Concealnt Manor disciple’s face.
"How dare you!"
Several attendants behind the Sword Concealnt Manor disciple roared angrily and moved to protect their Young Master. They unleashed their auras, all of them unexpectedly possessing the strength of the Celestial Shattering Realm. Two others, who had remained silent and still, appeared even more unfathomably deep.
’This young man’s status is clearly not ordinary,’ Qin Li thought, his heart skipping a beat. ’His guards are this powerful. The others are probably not much different.’
"Hmph! So what if I was talking about you?"
Startled by Qin Li’s icy gaze, the Sword Concealnt Manor disciple had involuntarily taken two steps back. There were no weaklings present, so his movent naturally didn’t escape anyone’s notice. He grew angry from the embarrassnt and pointed a finger at Qin Li, shouting, "You little bastard, if you don’t have the strength to back it up, don’t be so arrogant!"
"Who’s the little bastard talking about?"
"The little bastard is talking about you... Hey! How dare you, you little bastard, insult ? Go! Break his damn legs for !" the Sword Concealnt Manor disciple roared furiously.
He kept calling him "little bastard" over and over, making even the other young n nearby frown. The disciple from the Thousand chanism Sect, who had made it clear from the start that he didn’t want to be enemies with Qin Li, stepped in to smooth things over. "We’re all young here, and there’s no deep-seated hatred between us. Why must things get so tense?"
The young man from the Cui Family, however, just smiled faintly. "I, for one, feel this is rather unjust for Brother Xie of the Sword Concealnt Manor. Since when do we, the people of the Four Great Families and Three Major Sects, need to care what a disciple from so minor family thinks?" He glanced at the young man from the Lin Family beside him and said with a smile, "Fourth Young Master Lin, what do you say?"
The young man from the Lin Family, who radiated a masculine aura, smiled and shrugged slightly. "This has nothing to do with . The man wants to escort his own fiancée away. He doesn’t know us, so why should he have to greet us? Heh, I’m not getting involved in this. Do as you please."
With that, he leaned nonchalantly against the luxurious carriage behind him, a playful expression on his face. The ones putting the most pressure on the Qin Family this ti were none other than the Cold Sword Cui Family and the Sword Concealnt Manor!
Both families currently had mbers stationed long-term in Fengsha City. Before they arrived, they had naturally used their own channels to learn a few things about Qin Li. Though the information wasn’t very detailed, it wasn’t hard to find out that he was a disciple of the Qin Family.
Furthermore, Shangguan Shiyu’s "purple" was unparalleled in the world, and she possessed an Innate Spirit Body. A woman like her was a rare find anywhere. What young prodigy would pass up such an opportunity?
Therefore, making things difficult for this Qin Li was practically a must for them! They had heard from Ye Qianyu, the Elder of the Four Seasons Sect who had already left with her people, that this Qin Li seed to hold a rather high position in the Qin Family. If they could find a breakthrough by targeting him, they might even be rewarded!
At this mont, several n from the Sword Concealnt Manor began to surround Qin Li. Even the two who had remained still were now watching his every move with focused vigilance. The way Qin Li had just coordinated with that Black Gold Divine Leopard to severely injure the old woman in gray had left them all with a deep sense of dread.
"Seize him! I hear the Qin Family of Fengsha City places great importance on this little bastard. Perfect! Since he has provoked , I’ll go demand an explanation from the Qin Family and hold them accountable for their failure to discipline him!"
As the Sword Concealnt Manor disciple said this, his expression was one of pure entitlent. It wasn’t just arrogance; it was more like an inborn sense of superiority that had long since beco ingrained in his very bones.
Qin Li’s mind worked incredibly fast. He instantly deduced from the Sword Concealnt Manor disciple and the other young man that the factions behind them were definitely his enemies!
As for the other two young n who clearly wanted no part in this, the factions behind them likely had little to do with the Qin Family’s current crisis.
Thinking this, Qin Li narrowed his eyes and smiled. The n from the Sword Concealnt Manor, all wearing cautious expressions, slowly closed in on him.
Qin Li’s figure blurred. The n attacked him almost simultaneously, but their vision swam for an instant, and they lost sight of him. Imdiately after, two loud THUDS and a muffled grunt ca from behind them.
The two n who had been still the whole ti unexpectedly possessed the strength of the Celestial Integration Realm. Although Qin Li’s speed was like lightning, the two still reacted extrely quickly, both moving to intercept him.
Qin Li didn’t draw his sword. Instead, one after the other, he threw two heavy punches!
Qin Li wanted to test just how much stronger his body had beco after entering the third level of the Only I am Venerable realm!
These two Celestial Integration Realm experts were the perfect test subjects.
Qin Li himself was at the peak of the Celestial Shattering Realm, and he was clashing head-on with two experts at the Celestial Integration Realm.
BANG! BANG!
After the two loud bangs, Qin Li’s body hadn’t moved an inch. Of the two Celestial Integration Realm Martial Artists, one was thrown back several dozen steps, while the other let out a muffled grunt, clenched his jaw, and swallowed back any further sound. His face, however, instantly turned deathly pale, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.
It turned out that in the punch he threw, Qin Li had used a sliver of Innate Purple Qi to instantly shatter the ridians in his opponent’s palm!
Though the man’s palm showed no outward change, that single blow had essentially crippled his hand. If it wasn’t treated in ti, it would be completely useless.
Even with prompt treatnt, he would still suffer from lingering side effects in the future!
It wasn’t just those two. Everyone else stood there, dumbfounded, their eyes filled with utter shock as they looked at Qin Li.
Only now did they realize that it wasn’t that the Grand Elder of the Four Seasons Sect was weak; it was that the combat technique this young man cultivated was simply too powerful and terrifying.
Two Celestial Integration Realm Martial Artists had not only failed to injure him, but one had been repelled and the other wounded by Qin Li.
The young man from the Sword Concealnt Manor’s mouth hung slightly agape. Before he could even react, his vision blurred, and his throat was already in Qin Li’s grasp.
Qin Li’s eyes shot out a vicious, cold light. His voice was icy, as if seeping out from ten-thousand-year-old ice.
"Speak. Who are you?"
"Kid, don’t be rash! Let him go. We can talk about anything. Otherwise, the Sword Concealnt Manor will not let you off!" the man Qin Li had injured said in a grave voice, watching him intently.
"Sword Concealnt Manor?" Qin Li had just heard Xu Gui ntion the Four Great Families and Three Major Sects, so the na was still fresh in his mind. He frowned slightly.
anwhile, the young man from the Sword Concealnt Manor, whose throat was being squeezed by Qin Li, had a face flushed red. He didn’t dare to resist in the slightest, but inside he was dying of sha and anger. His gaze toward Qin Li was filled with that sa mortification.
’Those two slightly older guys over there might claim they aren’t getting involved, but it’s often their type who are the truly scheming ones,’ Qin Li thought with a private laugh. ’There’s no need to be afraid of offending soone like this Sword Concealnt Manor disciple.’
’He’s just a mangy dog who bullies the weak and fears the strong.’ Thinking this, Qin Li raised his other hand and gently patted the Sword Concealnt Manor disciple’s face, chuckling. "So soft and tender. Xiaohai would probably love to eat you!"
"Kid, don’t do anything reckless!"
The other man who had just exchanged a blow with Qin Li spoke with extre calm. "You’d better not be rash. If you really harm him, the family behind you will face imdiate annihilation!"
The group from the Sword Concealnt Manor now gathered around, completely surrounding Qin Li. The relaxed expressions from before were gone, replaced by extre tension as they watched him.
The Cui Family disciple over there also looked sowhat tense, but a flash of smugness crossed the depths of his eyes. He pointed at Qin Li and said, "Kid, let tell you, the man in your hand is the Fourteenth Young Master of the Sword Concealnt Manor’s Master! And he’s a legitimate heir! If you dare touch him, you’re dead!"
After the young man from the Cui Family finished speaking, Fourth Young Master Lin and the young man from the Thousand chanism Sect both gave a very subtle sneer. ’This kid from the Cui Family is really sothing else,’ they thought. ’Is he trying to save the guy from the Sword Concealnt Manor, or get him killed?’
Hearing this, Qin Li smiled faintly. He then grinned at the young man from the Sword Concealnt Manor, who was glaring at him with a venomous expression, revealing a set of white teeth. Qin Li felt the body of the Fourteenth Young Master of the Sword Concealnt Manor tremble slightly in his grasp.
"So you’re soone important after all."
Qin Li said this with a half-smile, making the people from the Sword Concealnt Manor feel incredibly tense. They were terrified that this kid would snap and crush the Fourteenth Young Master’s throat with a squeeze of his hand.
Qin Li glanced at the Cui Family disciple, then turned to the Fourteenth Young Master of the Sword Concealnt Manor in his hand with a beaming smile. "See? Your friend was so kind as to tell your identity. How about this: you get him to beg to let you go, and I’ll loosen my grip! Otherwise..." Qin Li’s hand on the man’s throat relaxed slightly.
"Don’t, don’t... Don’t kill !"
The Fourteenth Young Master of the Sword Concealnt Manor’s face was completely ashen. This was a classic flower raised in a greenhouse; no matter how beautifully it blood, without weathering any storms, it could never truly hold its own.
"Get him to beg to let you go, and I won’t kill you!" Qin Li said, smiling brightly.
"C-Cui... Brother Cui, you... you have to do your little brother a favor. I... I’ll never forget it!" the Fourteenth Young Master of the Sword Concealnt Manor stamred out.
