Chapter 56

Xu Ziyang walked to the middle between the two groups, just about to speak, when Li Nu suddenly flicked the whip he was playing with towards Xu Ziyang. The tip of the whip whistled sharply, passing by Xu Ziyang’s ear. With Xu Ziyang’s cultivation at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation stage, she naturally knew that Li Nu’s whip could not hit her, so she did not move.

However, Li Nu thought that Xu Ziyang was scared stiff and could not help but laugh loudly. The people around him also burst into laughter. Xu Ziyang was furious, but she still tried to calm her anger and turned to look at Li Nu.

Li Nu sneered, “You, a mere mortal, really have a lot of guts. How can you participate in our conversation at the Qi Condensation stage?”

Seeing Li Nu’s arrogance, Xu Ziyang’s face showed uncontrollable anger. But thinking about the current situation of her family, she still forced herself to suppress her anger. Her mind raced, and based on her experience, she thought that although these people had reached the Qi Condensation stage, they were still just teenagers, and they should be very afraid of their parents. Therefore, she looked at Li Nu and said firmly:

“Do you think your clan leader knows about the trouble you are causing here?”

Sure enough, when Li Nu and his group heard Xu Ziyang’s words, their faces changed. Xu Ziyang secretly smiled to herself, they were still just a bunch of kids!

Li Nu glared at Xu Ziyang with a dark face and sneered, “Even if my father doesn’t know, I don’t think anyone can say anything if I kill a mere mortal like you!”

“Ziyang, come back!”

Hearing Li Nu’s words, Xu Lin was very worried and quickly walked to Xu Ziyang’s side, grabbing her hand and pulling her back.

“Ziyang, you should step back!”

Xu Tianlang, who had appeared beside Xu Ziyang, looked at her coldly and said, “This is not a place for you to speak!”

“Ha ha, is your Xu family short of people, that a mere mortal has to step in?” Li Nu laughed mockingly at Xu Tianlang.

At this moment, Xu Tianlang was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. As the pride of Zhongdu City, when had he ever been ridiculed like this? His face turned dark, and he suppressed his anger, glaring at Xu Ziyang and shouting, “Haven’t you heard me?”

Beside Xu Ziyang, Xu Lin also quietly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Ziyang, you should go back first!”

Seeing Xu Lin’s gentle face and Xu Tianlang’s dark expression, and Li Nu’s mocking look, Xu Ziyang’s heart slowly calmed down. She thought, to stop this fight, should she reveal her true cultivation?

“Let’s do it!”

Xu Ziyang made up her mind, gently freeing herself from Xu Lin’s hand, ignoring Xu Tianlang’s angry eyes, and looking straight at Li Nu, she said coldly, “Our Xu family’s affairs are none of your business! Are you sure you want to conflict with our Xu family?”

Li Nu’s expression changed, then his face turned red with anger. He sneered, “What’s your name?”

“Xu family’s outer hall disciple, Xu Ziyang!” Xu Ziyang’s eyes shone with determination, and her cultivation began to flow slowly.

Li Nu sneered and nodded, playing with the whip in his hand, and said, “Good! Good! Good Xu family’s outer hall disciple, Xu Ziyang! I will remember you! If I don’t strip you and hang you on the city gate today, I won’t be a Li!”

With that, Li Nu took a step forward, and the disciples from the City Lord’s residence, Xiao family, and Wu family also stepped forward.

“Humph!”

Xu Lin and Xu Tianlang both coldly snorted and stepped forward, shielding Xu Ziyang behind them. The Xu family’s disciples also stepped forward without hesitation, glaring at the other side. In an instant, the air was filled with killing intent, rising to the sky. The street was empty of pedestrians, and the nearby houses closed their doors and windows. The wind swept up the snow on the ground, and it began to snow heavily.

Suddenly, a stern voice came from the sky:

“Stop!”

Four figures flashed in the air and landed in the middle of the crowd. Xu Ziyang recognized them and felt relieved, slowly retracting her true essence.

The four people were none other than Li Wanpeng from the City Lord’s residence, Xiao Rugui from the Xiao family, Wu Meng from the Wu family, and her own family’s clan leader, Xu Haoran.

As soon as they landed, they greeted each other with clasped hands:

“Brother Haoran!”

“Brother Wanpeng!”

“Brother Rugui!”

“Brother Wu!”

Then they each turned and scolded their own disciples. Under the scolding of their clan leaders, Xu Tianlang, Li Nu, and the others all lowered their heads.

Xu Haoran was extremely angry, glaring fiercely at Xu Tianlang, Xu Qi, and Xu Lin, and of course, he did not spare Xu Ziyang, who was standing behind Xu Lin and Xu Tianlang. He did not know that Xu Ziyang had come to mediate, thinking she had come to join the fight. He thought, “Aren’t you just making things difficult for me? What’s the situation with the family now? We elders are already in a mess, can’t you young ones be a little more peaceful?”

Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui, and Wu Meng were also extremely frustrated. They thought, “Didn’t we tell you? Don’t reveal your cultivation before the competition, and you still want to fight with the Xu family? Aren’t you ruining our father’s plan? Can’t you be a little more considerate?”

The disciples from all sides began to disperse. Before leaving, Li Nu suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Tianlang, saying, “Xu Tianlang, we’ll see each other at the competition in six months! I will make you, the so-called genius of Zhongdu City, fall in the Trial Valley!”

“Humph! We’ll see!” Xu Tianlang’s face turned red with anger.

Li Nu did not respond to Xu Tianlang but glared at Xu Ziyang and said viciously, “Xu Ziyang, right? In six months, if you have the guts to enter the Trial Valley, I will personally crush you like an ant!” As he spoke, he extended his fingers and pinched them lightly.

“Ant? You’re talking about yourself!” Xu Ziyang glanced at Li Nu coldly, ignoring his changed expression and trembling body, and turned to leave.

Under the scolding of the clan leaders, everyone returned to their respective families. They rushed to the entrance of their family, and Xu Tianlang paused, glanced at Xu Ziyang, and coldly “hmmphed,” then walked in with a dark face.

Xu Qi smiled at Xu Ziyang and said warmly, “Ziyang, you don’t know me yet, I’m Xu Qi, the eldest son of Uncle. Come visit us when you have time!”

Xu Ziyang smiled and said, “I know you are Uncle’s eldest son. I will come to see Uncle when I have time!”

“Mm!”

Xu Qi nodded, reached out, and pulled Xu Lin away. Xu Lin looked at Xu Ziyang, wanting to say something, but opened his mouth and said nothing, his face showing a sad expression, and he turned to follow Xu Qi.

At this moment, it was already past noon, and the entire Xu family was covered in snow, bathed in the cold winter sun. Xu Lin’s figure gradually became blurred in the wind and snow...
