Chapter 377: 259: Do You Take Me Seriously?



Xu Yang asked, “Wang Lin, what’s the background of the Li Clan from Longxi?”

“The Longxi Li Clan is one of the most powerful ancient martial clans in our Da Xia.”

Wang Lin said, “Longxi was an ancient county, which includes the present-day Tianshui and Lanzhou regions, and was an important part of the ancient Silk Road. The Li Clan originated from Longxi and has been passed down from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Their strength and heritage cannot be underestimated.”

“Historically, Li Chong, Li Bai, Li Yuan, and Li Guang all came from Longxi.”

When it comes to the Longxi Li Clan, not many people may know about them.

But when it comes to the “Five Clans and Seven Families” in Central Plains of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it’s a well-known fact.

The Longxi Li Clan is one of the “Five Clans”, along with the Fan Yang Lu Clan, the Qing He Cui Clan, the Xing Yang Zheng Clan, and the Taiyuan Wang Clan.

Xu Yang frowned and asked, “Have these ancient families all survived to the present day?”

“Not exactly.”

Wang Lin said, “Some families have gradually declined during the changing of dynasties. However, some new families have emerged. In our Da Xia, there are six families at the same level as the Longxi Li Clan. These families have thousands of years of heritage, rich resources, and their own secret realms. In each clan, there are powerful individuals.”

“These families have a long history, extensive global businesses, and complicated relationships. In short, they are difficult to deal with!”

As they were talking,

the two had exited the teaching building’s main entrance and arrived at the playground.

It was already four o’clock in the afternoon.

The scorching sun overhead made the temperature soar.

But the number of students and parents lining up on the playground for registration and assessment had not decreased since the morning.

At the moment, the center of the playground was in chaos, with many students and parents attracted and surrounded by layers of people, making it impassable.

“Make way, make way.”

Wang Lin led the way, clearing a path through the crowd.

As a martial artist, he used his strength to separate the crowd. Some people recognized Xu Yang and stepped back voluntarily.

In the center of the crowd were Chen Jingzhou, Feng Zhaoqing, and Luan Haiping.

Standing opposite them were three young men and a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing black traditional Tang clothes, with a pair of black lead beads spinning in his right hand, producing a squeaky, teeth-gritting sound as they rubbed against each other. The three young men were around 24 or 25 years old and dressed in casual summer clothes.

“Director Chen, Director Feng, Mr. Li…”

“Let’s all calm down.”

“If we have any issues, we can talk privately. We are all respectable figures. There’s no need to argue here.”

Luan Haiping spoke, trying to mediate the situation.

As an elder of the Maoshan Sect, even the Li Clan from Longxi had to give him some respect. The middle-aged man in Tang clothes softened his expression, cupped his hands and said, “Master Luan, we’ve come to Wu City today just to take Sun Yuting away. This Sun Yuting is originally from Longxi, it’s just that Director Chen and Director Feng are not giving us face.”

His gaze swept over Chen Jingzhou and Feng Zhaoqing, and he smiled, “Director Feng, Director Chen, it’s a good thing for our country to establish martial arts academies. Our Longxi Li Clan has also contributed several Daoist Arts, showing our support for the establishment of martial arts academies. However, if these academies feast on their success, they should at least leave some share for our families and clans, right?”

Since the establishment of martial arts academies, the biggest opposition has come from these families and clans!

That’s why this matter had been delayed until Wang Hou broke through to the realm of “Land Immortal” before being implemented!

And after his breakthrough, he specifically “visited” these families and clans, “borrowing” some Daoist Arts from them.

Once the martial arts academies were established and opened to the public for enrollment, most talented individuals would be recruited by these academies, making it difficult for these families and clans to recruit people!

How can they not oppose it?

Feng Zhaoqing was about to rebut, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xu Yang. He immediately turned around and said, “Director Xu has arrived?”

“Director Xu.”

Chen Jingzhou also looked over.

Xu Yang nodded and looked at the four members of the Longxi Li Clan.

The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered, and he quickly bowed, “Li Chengqian from the Longxi Li Clan pays his respects to Master Xu.”

The three young men also bowed, showing their martial artists’ etiquette.

Nowadays, Xu Yang is the most renowned figure in the martial world of Da Xia. The Longxi Li Clan had long been aware of his grievances and conflicts with the Lu Shan Sect, as well as the video of his sword practice at Hukou Waterfall!

They had a rough estimate of Xu Yang’s strength, at least…

He was not someone they could afford to offend.

Of course,

In the depths of Li Chengqian’s heart, he somewhat looked down on Wang Hou and Xu Yang.

They were just upstarts who had reached their current status by luck and opportunity. What was there to be arrogant about?

Since ancient times, countless talented individuals like Wang Hou and Xu Yang had emerged in the martial world, relying on luck and opportunity. But where are they now?

And the Longxi Li Clan, which had been passed down since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, how could they be compared to those who relied on luck?

Xu Yang wasn’t aware of Li Chengqian’s thoughts.

He didn’t care to find out either. He cut to the chase and asked, “Mr. Li, what brings you to my Wu City? And what’s this about sharing the soup that you just mentioned?”

“……”Li Chengqian opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“What the hell do you mean? I was just making a metaphor!”

However, as much as he looked down on Xu Yang internally, he still had to give some face on the surface, so he explained, “Supreme Sage Xu… An elder of our Longxi Li Clan found a girl on his travels who was very compatible with our cultivation methods. He intended to take her as a disciple, but something delayed him in our clan… By the time the Li Clan went to find her, she was already in Wu City.”

The rest of the story, of course, didn’t need to be said.

Xu Yang asked, “Where is the girl?”

“It’s me.”

A young girl stepped out from the crowd.

She had her hair in a ponytail, wore white sneakers, black cropped pants, and a half-sleeved shirt with a cartoon print. She was not particularly pretty but not ugly either. She looked ordinary, but there was a lively aura about her.

At first glance, she seemed like a clever and quick-witted girl.

His divine sense swept over her, and Xu Yang’s eyes flickered as a hint of realization flashed across his face. He turned back to Li Chengqian and said, “Mr. Li, I apologize… This girl has already been recruited by our Wu City Martial Arts Academy.”

Li Chengqian: “… …”

He paused for a moment, then said with a deep voice, “Supreme Sage Xu, when I arrived, Sun Yuting was still in line… She hadn’t even registered at your Wu City Martial Arts Academy!”

Xu Yang said, “I am the director of the Wu City Martial Arts Academy. Can’t I give her special admission?”

“Supreme Sage Xu!”

Li Chengqian became anxious: “In addition to being the director of Wu City Martial Arts Academy, you are also the sect leader of Jingming Sect. We are all part of the martial world. I hope you can give some face to our Longxi Li Clan… To be honest, this girl has caught the eye of an ancestor of my Li Clan!”

Xu Yang sneered and said, “Mr. Li, I’ve already made my position clear, and it’s already giving face to your Longxi Li Clan that I didn’t drive you all away. Are you really going to force me to speak up?”

With a flash of his divine sense just now, Xu Yang had discovered something special about Sun Yuting.

This girl had an extraordinary physique, and if she were to cultivate, she would indeed progress faster than most people… However, her most unique attribute was not this!

It was…

People of this physique were the ideal cauldrons for possession!

As soon as Li Chengqian mentioned the “Li Clan ancestor,” Xu Yang had roughly guessed… It was probably one of the Li Clan’s ancestors whose end was approaching, wanting to cultivate this girl into a cauldron and possess her in the future.

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, Li Chengqian’s eyes darkened involuntarily.

He gave Xu Yang a deep look, and said unwillingly, “Supreme Sage Xu, I think it’s best if Sun Yuting decides for herself… Sun Yuting, you’re from Longxi, and you should know the influence of our Longxi Li Clan. I’ve also looked into it, your parents have lost quite a bit of money in their business over the years, and they even have high-interest debt!”

“If you join our Li Clan, we’ll help pay off your parents’ debts and give you a lot of money!”

Sun Yuting’s parents were also present.

Upon hearing this, they were moved and began discussing in a low voice with Sun Yuting.

Li Chengqian saw the change in the expressions of Sun Yuting’s parents and continued, “You came to Wu City from Longxi simply because of Supreme Sage Xu’s reputation on the internet… However, you should know that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond the heavens. Our Li Clan has a history of 1,700 years with many masters.”

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

“Mr. Li.”

“I’ve given you the face you wanted, and I’ve given face to your Longxi Li Clan… But your arrogant behavior leaves me no choice!”

Xu Yang’s voice turned cold.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Li Chengqian, raising and waving his palm.

Li Chengqian’s pupils contracted violently, and facing Xu Yang’s slap, he felt as if the sky was collapsing and was unable to avoid it. With a “slap”, he was sent flying backward.

Xu Yang’s slap was well-controlled in terms of power.

It sent Li Chengqian soaring over the onlookers before he landed and slid more than thirty meters on the playground track, before finally tilting his head and passing out.

“Uncle Qian!”

Three young people from the Longxi Li Clan wailed.

Two of them lunged forward.

The remaining one stared at Xu Yang with gritted teeth, saying, “Fine… Very well… Xu Yang, the Li Clan will remember this grudge!”

Slap!

Xu Yang flicked his wrist, and another slap sent the young man flying, falling next to Li Chengqian. He said coldly, “A dog-like thing like you is not even worthy of calling my name.”

“Someone…”

“Get these four dogs from the Li Clan out of here!”

Feng Zhaoqing, Chen Jingzhou, and Luan Haiping exchanged glances, then immediately sent their subordinates from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau to escort the four Longxi Li Clan members out of the Martial Arts Academy.

Media were present at today’s enrollment event.

As soon as the media reporter rushed over, Feng Zhaoqing and Chen Jingzhou wanted to stop them, but Xu Yang waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, let them come.”

Before the media reporter could ask questions, Xu Yang took the initiative to say, “I know you want to ask why I hurt people… First of all, this is Wu City Martial Arts Academy, and I am the director. They came to my turf to snatch people. Don’t they have any respect for me?”

“Secondly, Li Chengqian was babbling in front of me, saying something about people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens, what bullshit is he talking about?”

“Finally… The most important point!”

Xu Yang looked at Sun Yuting and said, “Sun Yuting has a unique physique, and the people of the Li Clan wanted to recruit her so they could cultivate her into a cauldron and possess her when their Li Clan ancestor’s time is up… How can I, Xu Yang, stand by and let this happen?”

“Master Xu!”

At this remark, Feng Zhaoqing, Chen Jingzhou, and Luan Haiping’s expressions changed drastically. They changed their address to “Master Xu” and simultaneously said through secret messages, “Master Xu, don’t reveal too much… Otherwise, the Longxi Li Clan won’t let it go!”
