Chapter 54

I have to work during the day, so I can only write at night. I've been working really hard, everyone, after you finish reading, don't forget to recommend it, and if you haven't collected it yet, please do so!

In the dim light of a single candle, Xu Haoran's room flickered with a faint glow. Xu Haobo sat in the shadow of the candlelight, his low voice slowly rising:

"Brother, in six months, it will be the capital city's grand competition, which takes place every five years. Do you think they will use this grand competition to take action against our family?"

Xu Haoran frowned deeply, pondered, and nodded, saying, "It's very likely! The grand competition is a contest of strength at three levels: the elder level, the inner hall level, and the outer hall level! In the outer hall, we have Xu Gan, Xu Wen, and Xu Tianxiao, so we won't be at a disadvantage. In the inner hall, we have Old Nine's son, Tianlang. I think he should be able to break through to the third level of the Qi Condensation stage in six months. Moreover, Lin'er has given us a pleasant surprise. With Lin'er and Tianlang, I don't think there will be anyone in the capital city's young generation who can pose a threat to them. Even though Qier is not as strong as Tianlang and Lin'er, he has also reached the second level of the Qi Condensation stage.

As for our elder level, Old Nine's cultivation should be enough to deal with the three families. The three families don't have any Foundation Establishment stage experts among their elders. I can't think of what tricks they might have up their sleeves."

At the City Lord's residence.

Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui, and Wu Meng sat around a table.

"This beast tide has affected our plans. Our three families' disciples have suffered much greater losses than the Xu family!" Wu Meng said dejectedly.

"Yes, we should reconsider our plans!" Xiao Rugui turned his gaze to Li Wanpeng.

Li Wanpeng curved his fingers and lightly tapped the table, pondering, "Why don't we set the date for the grand competition in six months?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Rugui and Wu Meng suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"Our four families' grand competition every five years takes place in the Trial Valley. The entire valley is a large formation set up by our four families. Once it is activated, there is no communication between the inside and outside, and only after seven days can the people inside come out."

At this point, Li Wanpeng smiled grimly, "The Xu family doesn't know that we discovered an ancient cave four years ago. Although the gains were not great, the elixirs inside have greatly increased our three families' strength.

The Xu family's old ancestor has been in a closed retreat for years, trying to break through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage, but he hasn't emerged yet, so he hasn't broken through. Our three families' old ancestors, although they haven't broken through to the late sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage in recent years, have benefited from the elixirs from the ancient cave and have reached the peak of the middle sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. If the three of them join forces, they should be able to kill the Xu family's old ancestor, who is at the peak of the late sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Xu Haoran's father was at the early fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage when he went into retreat, and Xu Haoliang's father was at the peak of the late fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage when he went into retreat. Our three fathers, due to the power of those elixirs, have all reached the peak of the late fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, the same level as Xu Haoliang's father. I am now at the peak of the late third level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

In this way, my father and I can join forces to deal with Xu Haoliang's father, who is only at the peak of the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and we can definitely kill him. You two and your fathers can join forces to deal with Xu Haoran's father, who is at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if you can't kill him, you can hold him off. Once my father and I kill Xu Haoliang's father, the six of us can join forces to definitely kill Xu Haoran's father.

Now, Brother Xiao and Brother Wu, you two have also reached the peak of the late second level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Our three younger brothers have benefited from the ancient elixirs and have all broken through to the peak of the middle second level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Although most of our talented disciples died in this beast tide, as long as we still have those ancient elixirs, in six months, the disciples in our families with good cultivation will definitely break through and comprehensively suppress the Xu family's disciples. The Xu family's most outstanding disciple is only Xu Tianlang, and killing him will be as easy as turning over one's hand.

On the day of the grand competition, our three families' old ancestors and our fathers will lie in wait around the Xu family, waiting for our signal. The three of us will go to the Trial Valley with Xu Haoran and the family's elders and disciples. Once the participants enter the Trial Valley, the three of us will join forces to kill Xu Haoran, and I will immediately return to the Xu family to join forces in the massacre, seizing the Xu family's assets.

As for the Trial Valley, our three families' outer hall and inner hall disciples will comprehensively suppress the Xu family's disciples. Our three younger brothers can join forces to kill Xu Haoliang, who is at the peak of the late second level of the Foundation Establishment stage. In this way, we will definitely wipe out all the Xu family's participants in the trial."

At this point, Li Wanpeng, who had been growing more and more smug, suddenly became serious and said, "Now, the most important thing is that the Xu family must not know our strength. Fortunately, we spent a lot of money two years ago to buy a large number of concealment talismans from the market to hide our cultivation. But we must be careful not to let the Xu family become suspicious!"

Xu Ziyun and her parents returned to the courtyard and chatted until late at night. Xu Ziyun still decided to return to her residence in the outer hall. On one hand, she was used to living there and found it convenient for cultivation. On the other hand, she had too many secrets and didn't want her parents to know.

Xu Ziyun's mother was very reluctant, but her father, who was very serious, agreed to Xu Ziyun's request and instructed her to cultivate well and strive to serve the family as soon as possible. Xu Ziyun didn't tell her parents and the clan leader her true cultivation level. With her experience, she deeply understood that it was necessary to keep some capital in reserve.

After returning to her residence, Xu Ziyun adjusted her breathing for a while and then went to bed. She had been exhausted these days, both physically and mentally. Now that she had relaxed, she slept until noon.

Xu Ziyun got out of bed under the midday sun, washed up carefully, and then walked out the door. Seeing the quiet surroundings, she thought everyone must be very tired and decided not to disturb anyone. After some thought, she walked out of the family's gate and began to wander the streets, wanting to relax.

She bought some snacks and enjoyed the surroundings while eating. At this moment, Xu Ziyun felt that she was gradually integrating into this world. Just as she was in a good mood, she suddenly heard intense arguments not far ahead. Following the sound, she saw two groups of people standing in clear opposition in front of a tavern.

Xu Ziyun walked over lightly and found that all the people on her side were disciples of the Xu family, about dozens of them, with Xu Tianlang and Xu Lin at the front. On the opposite side, there were also dozens of people, and more people were still joining both sides, with the numbers about to exceed a hundred!
