Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 896 No Leaving!

Despite that, no one of the Star Sect really comes forward and offers Wu You a pair of underpants.

The people around all pinch their noses and hide far away, staring at Wu You with disdain.

Xie Fangyou heaves a sigh and says to Lu Qing, “Wu Suishan of the Wu Family is a competent cultivator indeed. It’s even fair enough to call him the cream of the crop. Yet, his descendant is really intolerable to the eye! Even without these things, I’m afraid that the Wu Family won’t be able to last long.”

Lu Qing shakes his head and says, “Actually, not only the Wu Family but also any sect can sustain for several centuries or even more than a thousand years while very few ancient martial arts families can remain more than one hundred years. In the final analysis, when a family becomes too strong, the descendants will fall into a comfort zone and thus be barely trained. Over time, the family will be trapped in a predicament where each generation is worse than the last one.”

Xie Fangyou nods gently as if lost in thought, “I suppose it is also what the Xie Family is facing for now.”

Xie Teng aside is embarrassed. Somehow, he feels that his great-grandpa is implying something.

“Great-grandpa, actually, I think the current Xie Family is quite good,” Xie Zhuolian says with a smile.

Xie Fangyou takes a look at her and smiles bitterly, saying, “If there is still anything worth mentioning about our family, I can only say we’ve still got you.”

Xie Teng’s face darkens even more.

Xie Zhuolian is a bit surprised.

Lu Qing looks a bit taken aback.

He is a bit confused.

Others can say something like that but Xie Fangyou shouldn’t.

Even Lu Qing can say that.

Only Xie Fangyou can’t.

Xie Fangyou is the patriarch of the Xie Family so every word and action of his is watched by all the people of the Xie Family.

What he has just said will be spread throughout the whole Xie Family soon.

What consequences will it incur?

Undoubtedly, Xie Zhuolian will become the thorn of the whole Xie Family’s flesh. She will be a target of all. It’s like a compassionate person suddenly appearing in a bandits’ den, who won’t fit in at all. Even if he does nothing wrong, he will be isolated anyway.

Lu Qing knows that Xie Fangyou loves Xie Zhuolian deep in his heart and won’t treat her differently because she is a girl. As such, he feels very confused. In this case, why does Xie Fangyou make her the target of all the young people of the Xie Family?

Very quickly, something occurs to Lu Qing. Just because he thinks of something, he can’t help turning to look at Xie Fangyou in surprise.

Xie Fangyou just takes a glance at him with a smile. They’ve known each other for years. At the moment, he doesn’t need to say much.

Lu Qing only heaves a sigh resignedly.

He feels there’s nothing wrong with Xie Fangyou’s decision.

Yet, he is still worried more or less.

Xie Zhuolian is not very strong but she excels at medicine and also works hard.

That’s probably why Xie Zhuolian can be appreciated by Xie Fangyou.

However...

When they return to the Xie Family, will Xie Zhuolian really be able to confront the young people of the Xie Family?

...

Wu You is completely stupefied.

This is the first time he has faced such a scene.

Xia Shengtang strikes his sword again and again, which goes through Wu You’s father.

He wants to stand up and stop Xia Shengtang but he doesn’t even have the strength to stand up.

His legs have become limp.

He is frightened.

What terrifies Wu You is that his father is still alive despite the severely scarred and battered body.

Besides, every time Xia Shengtang strikes his sword, he will exert his aura to seal Wu Wangzhi’s injury to enable the latter to keep screaming in pain.

What on earth does Xia Shengtang want to do?

The other cultivators are all frightened to see the scene.

Although they know that Xia Shengtang is eccentric, they didn’t expect that he was eccentric to this extent.

Does he know what he is doing?

“Alas. Xia Shengtang’s cultivation is high indeed but he is too inhuman. Even though this is his opponent, why doesn’t Xia Shengtang just kill him? Why does Xia Shengtang have to torture him like this?” A young rogue cultivator says with annoyance.

“Shut up! You idiot!” A middle-aged man curses and says, “Since you’re ignorant and simple-minded, just stay at home and don’t step forward to make a fool of yourself!”

“What did you say?” The young rogue cultivator who has been insulted is burning with anger but when he finds that the middle-aged man is a disciple of some sect, he hastens to quiet down.

The middle-aged man doesn’t seem to niggle over this with that young man.

He can’t help it.

Under the current circumstance, how can he dare to put on airs?

He is a member of some sect indeed.

Yet, he is only a disciple of a second-class sect. Even if he is from a first-class sect, so what?

Right here, even the people from the blessed spots are not a big deal.

There are so many competent cultivators around.

“Young man, I won’t pursue the matter with you. However, you must be aware of this. These are all the people of the Wu Family. Now, Wu Pobing of the Wu Family is still fighting with Sovereign Gao tensely. If Director Xia doesn’t disturb the Wu Family’s elders’ minds in this way, do you know what the situation will become? If you were him, wouldn’t you do that?”

After hearing him out, the young rogue cultivator instantly blushes with shame and hastens to hide among the crowd. Within a blink of an eye, he can’t be found.

“Xia Shengtang, just kill me if you dare!” A middle-aged man next to Wu Wangzhi shouts through gritted teeth.

“Okay.” Xia Shengtang sneers with a shimmer of killing intent flashing across his eyes. His sword flies out with a streak of sword light. When it comes back, the middle-aged man who is at the realm of Master has been killed.

“I’m always ready to help.” Xia Shengtang snorts. Actually, the middle-aged man is quite tough. For example, he treats Wu Wangzhi in the same way and the latter keeps screaming. On the contrary, the middle-aged man didn’t even groan. Besides, although they are both at the realm of Master, the dead middle-aged man was a lot stronger than Wu Wangzhi.

Yet, this middle-aged man was Xia Shengtang’s enemy.

Xia Shengtang doesn’t like enemies who are too tough.

Another bang comes. A cultivator at the realm of Grand Master brought here by Shao Shuai is injured.

“Young Master, the guy holding the lantern is not simple...”

Shao Shuai hastens to rush to him, helps him up, takes out an elixir and puts it into his mouth. Then, Shao Shuai turns around to stare with a frown at the staggering Elder Lotus.

“It seems that I’ve underestimated you,” Shao Shuai says with a sneer.

“Release us. We’ll leave now,” Elder Lotus thinks for a moment and then says.

“You want to leave?” Xia Shengtang strikes his sword at him, “Do you think you can come to the Star Sect and leave at will? Go to hell!”

A streak of sword light crackles through the sky with a sword momentum rising like a mountain.
