34: The shock of the Yuncheng clan

“Good, good, good! This old man admits defeat today, but I will report this matter to the Old Ancestor. When that time comes, it will be the Old Ancestor himself who visits your Xu Family!”

Elder He Qing angrily flicked his sleeves, picked up the few boxes on the ground, and led his people out of the hall!

At this moment, in the courtyard, Xu Liang and others were being led in by the butler!

“Scram!”

Elder He Qing unleashed a Protective Aura. He was already frustrated, and seeing Xu Liang and the others blocking his way, he attacked without a word!

Xu Liang frowned, just about to make a move, when Deng Changyun slapped out!

“Bang!”

The force generated instantly shattered the Protective Aura, then sent Elder He Qing flying, heavily smashing him against the wall!

“Pfft~”

“Yuan Ling Realm!!!”

Elder He Qing’s face paled with fright. He was truly unlucky. He originally thought it was just a small Family in Yun City, but he had actually provoked a formidable person!

Ignoring the pain, he quickly stood up and said, “Senior, I am Elder He Qing, an Elder of the He Family in Fengyan County. Regarding my actions just now, I ask for your forgiveness. I am willing to apologize for offending you!”

As he spoke, he painfully took out an Intermediate Spirit Treasure!

Being an Elder of a Clan, he was naturally not a fool. When faced with an irresistible force, one should bow their head. Moreover, he had revealed his identity and apologized, so he thought the other party should not make things difficult for him.

“Hmph! A mere Intermediate Spirit Treasure, trying to fool whom? And you’re trying to use the He Family to pressure this old man? What is the He Family?!” Deng Changyun snorted coldly!

As a former Grand Elder of Xuan Shui Palace, Deng Changyun not only had several Marquis Treasures, let alone Spirit Treasures, but he also possessed a King Weapon!

After pledging allegiance to Xu Qing, the other party did not reclaim these items and even bestowed upon him the Bloodline King Weapon of that Profound King Old Ancestor!

Although it was already damaged, its power was no weaker than an Intermediate King Weapon!

Elder He Qing’s face turned pale. This was the most valuable Spirit Treasure he possessed, and it was only granted to him because he was an Elder!

But now, the other party looked down on it. Most importantly, it seemed the other party was not afraid of their He Family!

“Senior, my He Family’s Old Ancestor is the Third Elder of Black River Sect…”

“Black River Sect? Hmph! Forget Black River Sect, even Qixia Valley must bow before my Xu Family! Scram! Don’t be an eyesore here!”

Deng Changyun impatiently interrupted Elder He Qing. If it were in the past, he would have already killed the other party, but seeing the conflict between the other party and the Yun City Branch, he suppressed his murderous intent!

Elder He Qing’s expression changed upon hearing this!

Qixia Valley is a top Sect in Zixia County, west of Fengyan County. This Sect is one of the nine great golden forces of the Chu Dynasty!

Although Black River Sect is also a golden force, it is far inferior compared to the nine great golden forces, because the ancestors of the nine great golden forces all had King Realm experts, and the Sects possessed King Realm foundations!

Take Qixia Valley, ranked eighth, for example. An expert in the Middle Stage of the Marquis Realm once appeared among its ancestors, leaving behind a King Realm Grand Array and a Bloodline King Weapon for Qixia Valley!

Additionally, there are two Marquis Realm experts within the Sect, one of whom has even reached the Middle Stage of the Marquis Realm, and with the aid of a Bloodline King Weapon, can display the strength of a Marquis Realm Perfection!

Elder He Qing instinctively felt that Deng Changyun was bragging, but given the circumstances, he could only leave dejectedly!

Meanwhile, the Yun City Branch, led by Xu Bin, was already stunned!

They had not met Xu Liang, but they had met one of the middle-aged men among them. Just a month ago, this person visited, claiming to be from the Xu City main branch, sent by the Young Lord to bring them back to the main branch!

At that time, although he was outwardly polite, he was disdainful inwardly. They had long heard about what happened to the main branch a year ago!

And a few months ago, they also knew that the Xu Family’s Young Lord had gained the support of the Marquis Manor and revitalized the Xu Family. But for the other party to want to bring them back to the main branch, wasn’t that laughable?

Over a hundred years had passed, and the main branch had declined. Although a Family with three Yuanhai Realm experts had appeared not long ago, they believed it was due to resources provided by the Marquis Manor!

And although their branch had not grown like the Xuan and Luo branches, five Yuanhai Realm experts had been born within the Clan. How could they return to Xu City and be at the mercy of the main branch?

But today, the other party arrived, and the first person to make a move was a Senior in the Yuan Ling Realm, which caused their worldview to utterly collapse!

After all this, it turned out that among the several branches, their branch was actually the weakest!

“Are you the Clan Chief of the Yun City Branch?” Xu Liang looked at Xu Bin!

“Yes! May I ask which one you are from the main branch?”

Xu Bin saw that Deng Changyun had no intention of speaking, so he looked at Xu Liang. He could feel that Xu Liang’s cultivation was stronger than the Grand Elder of his Clan, so he dared not be negligent!

“Elder of the Ancestral Hall, Xu Liang!” Xu Liang cupped his hands!

Xu Bin’s pupils constricted. The intelligence was severely inaccurate. Wasn’t it said that Xu Liang and the other two had only just broken through a few months ago?

The other Elders and deacons of the Yun City Branch also looked on with disbelief!

Xu Liang naturally saw through their thoughts and smiled, “Clan Brother Xu Bin, I presume you know the purpose of my visit!”

Upon hearing this, the Yun City Branch members all changed color!

If it were in the past, they would have already issued an eviction notice, but having witnessed Deng Changyun’s methods, none of them dared to speak!

“Clan Brother Xu Liang, our Yun City Branch has lived here for over a hundred years. All our Family assets are here; our roots are already established here!” Xu Bin said tactfully!

“Is that so?” Xu Liang smiled faintly, “Clan Brother, if I’m not mistaken, that Elder He Family just now must have come to cause trouble for you, right?”

Xu Bin and the others’ expressions darkened upon hearing this!

Seeing this, Xu Liang continued, “Although the He Family is just a small Silver Family, it is not something the Yun City Branch can contend with. Moreover, the other party is backed by Black River Sect and acts domineeringly. What happened today, I presume, will not end peacefully!”

“At that time, how will the Yun City Branch manage itself? Or do you want to go through the Xuan City and Luo City branches? Do you think those two branches will offend Black River Sect for your sake?”

“Even if they are willing, would Canghe Valley behind them be willing?”

Xu Bin and the others’ faces turned pale again!

“Hmph! Could it be that by returning to the main branch, you will be able to contend with Black River Sect? Will the Marquis Manor really step in?”

Perhaps being touched on a sore spot by Xu Liang, the Second Elder of the Yun City Branch coldly retorted!

Xu Liang’s eyes turned cold, “Hmph! Why would my Xu Family need to borrow the power of the Marquis Manor? What you see is merely what we want you to see. How much do you truly understand about the main branch?”

Although Xu Liang couldn’t see through his nephew, it didn’t prevent him from showing off in front of these people!

After all, his nephew had said that he was invincible below the Profound King Realm!

Throughout the entire Southern Province, the only ones the Xu Family truly feared were the four great royal families of Chu, Qi, Wei, and Zhao, as well as the Tianxuan Sect of the Wu Dynasty!

After all, these families had all had Heavenly King Realm Old Ancestors appear in their history!

Besides these, his Xu Family did not care about other forces!

Upon hearing this, the Yun City Branch was momentarily stunned!

Could it be… Xu Bin, on the other hand, trembled all over. As Clan Chief, he knew about the matters of the Xu Family’s High Ancestor’s generation; the former Xu Family originated from outside the Southern Province!

“I will not force you! We can make a battle agreement. These people behind me are all geniuses of our Xu Family. The people of your Yun City Branch can challenge them. As long as you can defeat one of them, then our main branch will leave!”

“But if you lose, then you will return to the main branch. Do you dare?” Xu Liang looked at Xu Bin!

“Clan Chief, we cannot let the main branch look down on us!”

“Exactly! Let these so-called main branch people see the strength of our Yun City Branch’s geniuses!”

Although they were shocked by the strength of the Xu Family’s Elders, they were not afraid of the younger generation. After all, Xu City was just a barren, remote place, while their Yun City was a large city with abundant Cultivation resources!

They didn’t believe that the Clan’s geniuses, cultivated since childhood, couldn’t surpass the people of the main branch. Moreover, they still had a Spirit Body, Xu Bingyu’s Spirit Body had already awakened three years ago, and her cultivation had now reached the Late Stage of the Zhenyuan Realm. Such cultivation was enough to enter the top fifty of the Fengyan Ranking!

Xu Bin instinctively felt something was wrong and looked at the few people behind Xu Liang, but found that he could not see through their cultivation!

There were only two reasons for this situation: either their cultivation was higher than his, or they had Cultivated a Qi Concealment Cultivation Technique!

After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement!

Xu Liang smiled upon seeing this. If Xu Bin and the others were unwilling, he would turn around and leave, and then step in to help when the He Family came to deal with them!

But now, it was clearly unnecessary!

From the moment Xu Bin agreed, the outcome was already determined!
