Chapter 55

At this moment, on the Xu family's side, Xu Tianlang and Xu Lin were both standing at the front, but they were clearly divided into two camps. Behind Xu Tianlang and Xu Lin stood their respective supporters. The Xu family disciples who kept running over also clearly divided themselves and stood behind the two.

Xu Ziyun glanced in Xu Lin's direction and noticed that there was a young man standing beside Xu Lin, who looked a bit older than Xu Lin. Xu Ziyun knew that this was Xu Qi, the eldest son of the clan leader Xu Haoran.

On the opposite side, the crowd was divided into three camps. In front of each camp stood a tall young man. Looking at their emblems, Xu Ziyun immediately recognized that they belonged to the City Lord's residence, the Xiao family, and the Wu family. At this moment, the young man from the City Lord's residence, who stood in the middle, said in a hoarse voice:

"Hehe, Xu Tianlang, you are the genius of the Xu family's younger generation? Hmm, your cultivation isn't that impressive, still at the second level of the Qi Condensation stage. I wonder when Brother Tianlang plans to break through?"

"Li Nu, with my cultivation at the second level of the Qi Condensation stage, I can still beat you to the ground!" Xu Tianlang said proudly.

"Is that so?" Li Nu sneered, a flash of ferocity in his eyes.

At this moment, Xu Ziyun had already squeezed into the crowd and found Xu Qingsnow and others. She squeezed over to them and asked softly:

"What happened?"

The group turned to look at Xu Ziyun and immediately felt as if they had found a mainstay. Xu Qingsnow, with a sullen face, said nothing, while Xu Li lowered her voice and said:

"It's Xu Tianlang. He and a few disciples from the family wanted to eat in the most luxurious private room at Maple Forest Pavilion, but the City Lord's son had already reserved that room. This wouldn't have been a problem, but just as Senior Brother Tianlang was about to leave, Li Nu happened to come in and started mocking Senior Brother Tianlang. They started arguing, and more and more people gathered, leading to this situation!"

"How do you know so much?" Xu Ziyun asked suspiciously, thinking that with Xu Li's status as an outer hall disciple, it was unlikely she would have been dining with Xu Tianlang.

"I heard it from the inner hall disciples!"

Xu Ziyun looked over to the opposite side and scanned the three young men standing in front. She noticed that all three were only at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage. However, Xu Ziyun felt a slight unease. Given their cultivation, how could they dare to challenge Xu Tianlang, who was at the second level of the Qi Condensation stage, especially with Xu Qi, also at the second level, and Xu Lin, who had just broken through to the third level, standing there?

What puzzled Xu Ziyun the most was the faint disdain and intense fighting spirit in the eyes of the three young men. How was this possible?

Xu Ziyun silently released her spiritual energy, slowly enveloping the three men. She frowned slightly; the feedback still indicated the first level of the Qi Condensation stage. However, what shocked Xu Ziyun was that she faintly sensed the aura of a Concealment Talisman on the three men. If it weren't for her extensive knowledge of talismans, she would never have detected that faint aura.

Xu Ziyun was greatly alarmed. Could the other side be hiding their true cultivation, which was not at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage? What was their purpose in hiding their cultivation? Recalling what her second uncle had mentioned about the alliance between the City Lord's residence, the Xiao family, and the Wu family, Xu Ziyun gradually felt a sense of unease. She immediately made a decision:

"They cannot fight. It's only because of the beast tide that the family has gained a chance to catch its breath. If this fight leads to the injury or death of Xu Qi, Xu Lin, and Xu Tianlang, and if it triggers an early family war, it would be a blow that the Xu family cannot afford."

"Xu Tianlang, how about we practice?" At this moment, Li Nu's mocking voice echoed.

"Practice? Are you ready to die?" Xu Tianlang said coldly.

"Ha ha ha..." Li Nu, playing with a horsewhip in his hand, laughed loudly. "You don't need to worry about that. But don't cry when you're crippled later!"

Xu Ziyun knew she couldn't wait any longer. If she did, the fight would start. She quickly shouted:

"Wait a moment!"

As she said this, she pushed her way forward. Xu Tianlang and Li Nu, who were about to draw their swords, were taken aback and stopped their actions, looking at Xu Ziyun. The other Xu family disciples also turned to look, and when they saw Xu Ziyun, they moved aside, making a path for her.

Although Xu Ziyun's displayed cultivation was only at the tenth level of the Later Heaven stage, she had been praised by the clan leader on the central square as a role model for the younger generation. Therefore, when Xu Ziyun stepped forward, most of the Xu family disciples respectfully moved aside, even those in Xu Tianlang's camp who looked down on her cultivation but admired her bravery in the Mystic Valley.

Xu Ziyun walked through the path in the crowd. Xu Lin's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Ziyun, but then they dimmed. Beside him, Xu Qi's eyes showed admiration, as if praising his younger sister.

Xu Tianlang's gaze was complex, with a hint of admiration but more displeasure. It was hard for him to imagine that someone at the tenth level of the Later Heaven stage would dare to stop two people at the Qi Condensation stage who were about to fight. He felt that this was a disregard for him, Xu Tianlang. When had the Xu family let someone at the Later Heaven stage take charge?

Although Xu Ziyun had made outstanding contributions to the family in the Mystic Valley and had been publicly praised by the clan leader, the Later Heaven stage was still the Later Heaven stage. How could a mere ant think of flying to the sky?

Thinking of this, Xu Tianlang's eyes filled with disdain. A small character was still a small character. Give them a little color, and they start to act up. They think they are someone! However, in front of everyone, Xu Tianlang couldn't scold Xu Ziyun, as she had just been praised by the clan leader. So, he turned his head away with a sullen face.

On the opposite side, Li Nu also heard Xu Ziyun's shout and looked over. Seeing the Xu family disciples quietly moving aside, he was startled, thinking that a high-ranking figure from the Xu family had arrived. But when he saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with only the tenth level of the Later Heaven stage, he couldn't help but laugh.
