Chapter 84

Just as everyone in the hall was stunned into silence, Shen Lang looked at the third elder and sneered, "Tell this old ghost, is what I'm doing really that arrogant and reckless?"

The third elder held back the fourth elder, who was furious and about to attack, and fiercely scratched the fourth elder's palm, finally stopping the enraged fourth elder.

His expression was very strange, his eyes darting around, and he said with a hint of fear, "Today is the Shen family's year-end martial arts competition. You... why did you come here?"

The crowd was stunned again...

This was not right. The third elder's temper was even more explosive than the fourth elder's. Why did he not only hold back the fourth elder but also seem timid, as if he was afraid of Shen Lang?

Shen Lang had already said so much, even talking about leveling the Shen family. How...

Was this not right?

"I didn't come here to do anything. It's the year-end martial arts competition, so of course I came to participate." Shen Lang smiled faintly. "It was a simple matter, but these废物 made a mess of it. They all couldn't wait to challenge me before the competition. My friend couldn't stand it, so he gave them a slap. That's how it happened."

"A slap..."

The third elder looked at the group of people who hadn't even managed to get up and was speechless.

If anyone else had dared to do this, he would have had them taken down long ago.

But he was facing Shen Lang. Not to mention how powerful Shen Lang was, just based on his connection with the Treasure Pavilion, the Shen family wouldn't dare to touch him...

"Hey, I've said what I needed to say. Are you two old guys done staring? Are you going to move out of the way? If not, I don't mind beating you two up as well." Shen Lang said this with a calm tone, as if he was chatting with a friend.

"Shen Lang, don't you think you're being too arrogant? We two... are at least elders of the Shen family, your seniors..." The third elder himself felt that his words lacked any force or confidence, and his mouth was bitter.

"Seniors? Old bastard, you've done plenty of bullying me and my friends! You were the one who led people to snatch my family's spirit fields! Now you're telling me you're my senior? Go to hell!"

Shen Lang hooked a guy who was groaning on the ground with his right foot and threw him at the third and fourth elders.

"Good boy, you dare!" The fourth elder finally felt something was off.

No one knew the third elder better than he did. They were brothers.

For the third elder to be so afraid that he didn't even dare to say a harsh word, this was not simple.

Moreover, from the beginning until now, Shen Lang's words had become increasingly arrogant, clearly here to cause trouble!

Of course, causing trouble wasn't the issue; the issue was how much strength the person causing trouble had.

Looking at Shen Lang, it was clear he had come with ill intentions!

"Hmph, why not?" Shen Lang looked at the two old men with a sidelong glance, wanting to see if they would really dare to attack.

If they didn't attack, fine. But if they dared to attack, he, Shen Lang, would have to warm up his muscles in advance!

Disrespecting the elderly and being disrespectful to the young.

Not attacking them directly was already giving them face!

"Phew!"

The two old men, as if sharing a telepathic connection, simultaneously extended a hand, and a gust of wind lifted the person being thrown, gently placing him down.

The hundreds of Shen family disciples around felt even more stifled and uneasy. Shen Lang's actions were clearly a challenge to the elders, yet the two elders seemed unaffected...

They just caught the person and did nothing else!

What was going on?

Why did it seem like the elders were afraid of Shen Lang?

"You are a Shen family disciple, so participating in the martial arts competition is fine. But the three people behind you are not invited guests of the Shen family and cannot enter the arena!"

The fourth elder felt stifled. He didn't know how much the third elder was hiding from him or how powerful Shen Lang's background was. He wanted to say something harsh but was afraid of saying the wrong thing and causing more trouble, feeling extremely frustrated. He could only seize on this point.

"Understandable, rules are rules."

What surprised everyone was that Shen Lang actually nodded and walked past the two elders.

Just as the two old men were looking at each other, Shen Lang turned around and said leisurely, "Brothers, and Sister Zui Mo, you've seen it. It's not that I don't want you to come in, it's that they don't want you to come in... But you can try to force your way in, like smashing down the gate or tearing down the wall, and see if you can get in."

As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, the two old men felt something was wrong and saw three figures flash forward.

"Ha ha ha, I like this! It's exhilarating!"

Yin Kuang roared, and a giant axe in his hand sparked with fire, cutting through half of the large wooden gate in one stroke!

"Water Dragon Chant, Dragon in the Field!"

Shui Buyu was different. He was more civilized, but with a cold shout, a water dragon roared out, leaving the wooden gate in shambles.

Zeng Zuimo, more reserved, shyly glanced at the hundreds of Shen family disciples before timidly taking out a golden silk ringed saber and cutting through the not-so-thick wall, creating a huge gap.

"You... you..."

The third elder was almost in tears. He thought Shen Lang was difficult enough to deal with, but these three were even more formidable. Shen Lang just beat people, but these three were here to tear down the house!

His cultivation was much higher than these people, but the key was that he didn't dare to attack.

Although he didn't know the full details of these people, he knew they were classmates Shen Moran had brought back from Jialan Academy, each with extraordinary backgrounds!

"Water Dragon Chant... you... you... are you from the Water family of the Imperial City's Divine Marquis Mansion?"

The fourth elder almost wanted to attack but retracted his foot when he heard Shui Buyu's words.

"Heavenly Dragon Crescent Moon Saber... you are from the Zeng Royal Family..." The third elder looked at the golden silk ringed saber in Zeng Zuimo's hand, his teeth chattering.

Shen Lang, who had just walked in, suddenly turned around and said curiously, "Right, I don't even know the backgrounds of the two brothers and Sister Zui Mo? You're from the royal family? Sister Zui Mo is a princess? Wow, a princess is so wild... cough, one more strike and the wall will collapse."

"Ha ha ha!" Yin Kuang swung his axe again, cutting the remaining wooden beams, standing like an iron tower at the entrance of the arena. "I... cough, my name is Yin Kuang, from the Yin family of the Imperial City!"

"General Yin Tianqiu is..."

"My father, what about it!" Yin Kuang casually said, his voice like thunder.

The other two were much more low-key.

Zeng Zuimo was gently polishing the Heavenly Dragon Crescent Moon Saber, occasionally glancing at the crowd, as if ready to strike at any moment, making the Shen family disciples tremble with fear.

In the midst of the storm, Shui Buyu elegantly fanned himself and said, "Since you recognized the Water Dragon Chant and the Heavenly Dragon Crescent Moon Saber, and guessed our identities, there's no need for us to introduce ourselves, right?"

The third and fourth elders were truly in tears, their old eyes streaming.

Everyone knew Shen Lang was arrogant, but they never expected him to be this arrogant!

To bring three such bodyguards, treating the princess of the royal family, the son of a general, and the young master of the Divine Marquis Mansion as followers!

How could such a thing be possible? Even a prince couldn't do this!

Any one of these people was not someone the Shen family could provoke!

Whether it was the royal family, the general's family, or the Divine Marquis Mansion, although they were not like the Evil Wind Valley, they were all immensely powerful and influential!

Although no one had given them a specific power ranking, most people understood that any one of these three was at least as strong as, if not stronger than, the Evil Wind Valley!

They couldn't provoke any one of them, and now all three at once...

"The names of the two young masters and the princess are like thunder in my ears. I, Shen Haoxuan, failed to welcome you properly, I failed to welcome you properly!" Shen Haoxuan, the head of the Shen family, walked over with several elders, his face full of smiles.

Shui Buyu looked at Shen Haoxuan mockingly and said, "I didn't even introduce myself, and you say my name is like thunder in your ears. Your face is indeed thick! No wonder, with your father seriously ill, you could still ignore the bond and snatch people's spirit fields and resources. Shamelessness is indeed the passport of the shameless."

"Oh, I'm really sorry for tearing down your arena's wall... Why didn't you make the wall thicker? I just lightly tapped it with my saber, and it broke... Oh, what a pity." Zeng Zuimo shook her head repeatedly, cooing.

As they spoke, they walked to Shen Lang's side.

"Ha ha ha, you two are truly witty, indeed, heroes emerge from the young... It's fine, actually, I should thank you three. The gate was already a bit old, and we were discussing how to demolish and rebuild it. I didn't expect you to help us so much upon arrival! I should thank you three. Please sit, please sit, please take the honored seat. Tea, bring tea, bring the best tea!"

Shen Haoxuan was almost bursting with anger, but he had no choice. His heart was bleeding, but his face had to show a mixture of surprise and joy.

At this moment, Shen Lang walked to his side, tilted his head, and whispered, "Damn, you can really endure, I admire you!"

Shen Haoxuan's body stiffened, and then his bitter face forced a smile. "Little Lang, Uncle Three knows that what we did to your family was a bit too much. I've been reflecting on it these past few days. No matter what, we are still family. Uncle Three will definitely apologize to your father! You are a great person, so please give us a little face?"

His voice was low, but those nearby heard it and were shocked.

For the head of a family to say such things to a junior was truly unbelievable.

Shen Lang snorted and said loudly, "No need to apologize... You all call us waste, and I came here today to count how many wastes the Shen family has..."

His voice echoed like thunder over the arena.

The originally noisy arena suddenly fell silent, as if cut off by scissors, eerily quiet and a bit scary.
