Stepping through the Xu Family's main gate and into the sunlight, Liu Wuxie took a deep breath.
As a dignified Immortal Emperor, he wasn't going to lower himself to the level of a bunch of servants.
Canglan City was vast, home to several million people. Besides the Four Great Families, the most powerful entity was the Canglan City Lord.
The city's streets crisscrossed, lined with shops. The Great Yan Dynasty was enormous, and Canglan City was merely one of its cities.
The place Liu Wuxie was headed to was called Danbao Pavilion, the largest supplier of medicinal herbs and seller of elixirs in Canglan City. It didn't belong to any Family, nor was it under the jurisdiction of the City Lord. It was an entity detached from the world, rumored to be backed by the immensely powerful Tianbao Sect.
Xumai Dan (Meridian Restoration Pill) was quite rare. Although its grade wasn't high, it was extremely difficult to refine.
Three large characters, shining with golden light, hung over the entrance of Danbao Pavilion. They could be seen clearly from afar. Many Martial Artists were entering and exiting.
Following the flow of people, Liu Wuxie walked in. What greeted his eyes was a massive hall, divided into several areas: elixir sales, medicinal herb sales, and so on.
There were also some Demon Beast hides and cores. Separated by the counter, the fragrance emanating from the elixirs and the fierce Aura released by the Demon Beast cores could not be concealed.
"May I ask what Gongzi needs?"
A Qingyi attendant quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly, but a hint of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes. Compared to the others, Liu Wuxie was dressed too ordinarily; his Qing Shan was washed until it was faded.
"I need to see your Steward. Please inform him."
Liu Wuxie saw the disdain in the other party's eyes clearly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Our Steward is very busy and has no time to see idlers. If you're not buying medicine, get out."
The Qingyi attendant was impolite and tried to shove him, but couldn't move him. A trace of Killing Intent flashed and disappeared from Liu Wuxie's eyes.
Their actions attracted the attention of many people, who stopped to watch and look at them.
"Isn't he the Xu Family's son-in-law? Why did he come to Danbao Pavilion?"
The matter of the Xu Family's son-in-law had already spread throughout Canglan City; everyone knew about it, especially the scene from last night, which was even more widely known.
Hearing "Xu Family's son-in-law," a trace of mockery flashed across the Qingyi attendant's Face, along with a cold smile and a look of disgust.
"Get lost! Our Danbao Pavilion doesn't do business with you."
The attendant's Face showed a fierce look, wanting Liu Wuxie to leave quickly and not step foot in Danbao Pavilion. What arrogant words!
Danbao Pavilion was not under the jurisdiction of any power, causing these Qingyi attendants to be arrogant and look down on everything. Martial Artists who came in usually had expressions of flattery.
Even a small Qingyi attendant in Danbao Pavilion was not someone ordinary people could afford to offend. One could imagine how lofty the status of Danbao Pavilion was.
"Are you sure you want to miss this business? Don't blame me for not warning you; if you miss this business, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Liu Wuxie's eyes turned cold, enveloped in chilliness, scaring the Qingyi attendant into a stumble.
"Damn it! You waste dare to threaten me! If you won't leave, I'll beat you to death and throw you out."
As he spoke, he attacked. The attendants of Danbao Pavilion were not weak. A punch came towards Liu Wuxie's Face, incredibly fast. The punch wind whistled, creating a vortex that lifted the hair at Liu Wuxie's temples.
If it were an ordinary person, the Qingyi attendant wouldn't dare to attack, but the Xu Family's son-in-law had long become like a rat crossing the street, everyone wanting to beat him. Attacking him had no pressure.
"Bang!"
Before the punch wind could get close, Liu Wuxie lifted his leg and kicked the Qingyi attendant hard in the abdomen. His body was thrown high into the air, crashing onto the counter. The sturdy counter shattered into pieces, and the medicinal herbs inside scattered all over the Ground.
The sudden kick caught everyone off guard. The crowd automatically cleared a large space to avoid getting into trouble. Offending Danbao Pavilion meant they wouldn't be able to survive in Canglan City anymore.
"Cough, cough..."
The Qingyi attendant coughed up blood on the Ground. From several other directions, more than a dozen attendants suddenly rushed over. Two of them were holding weapons and surrounded Liu Wuxie.
"You are too presumptuous! How dare you injure someone in our Danbao Pavilion! Take him down!"
One of them was wearing a purple robe and seemed to be a small supervisor. At his command, more than a dozen attendants attacked together with overwhelming momentum.
The resulting airwave pressed directly towards Liu Wuxie.
Each of them was skilled, and the Purple-robed man had even reached Afterheaven fifth level, with immense strength. The ruler in his hand slashed towards the back of Liu Wuxie's head, a killing move.
At this point, Liu Wuxie had no choice. If he didn't act, he would die at their hands. Stepping with the Seven Star Steps, he easily avoided the killing move and appeared behind them.
Like a ghost, the attacks of the dozen people all missed their mark.
Turning his palm into a fist, he smashed down from the air. Turning around, he threw a punch. His movements were fluid, without any obstruction. This simple boxing technique, in Liu Wuxie's hands, could turn decay into wonder.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Five attendants were sent flying, also crashing into the counter and lying on the Ground wailing. These attendants were not weak; the ones who were sent flying had reached Afterheaven third level.
The Purple-robed man roared like a fierce eagle, suddenly descending with a violent Aura that stirred up the medicinal herbs on the Ground. As expected of an Afterheaven fifth level, his strength was several levels higher than the third level. Liu Wuxie did not meet his attack head-on but sidestepped to avoid it.
His current combat power was more than enough to deal with Afterheaven fifth level, but he didn't want to expose his strength too early. He hadn't found the person secretly trying to kill him yet, so he would hide himself first.
Stepping on the Seven Stars, he easily avoided the attack. The Purple-robed man missed his strike and roared with anger.
The sounds of fighting in the hall alarmed the entire Danbao Pavilion. An attendant hurriedly ran into the inner hall to get reinforcements.
"Stop!"
A cold shout interrupted them. Liu Wuxie stood still, quietly in the center. There wasn't even a scratch on his body, but on the Ground, eight or nine people lay scattered, injured by Liu Wuxie.
A burly Old Man strode quickly into the hall. Seeing the medicinal herbs scattered everywhere, he was furious. His eyes, like eagle eyes, fell on Liu Wuxie. A terrifying Aura pressed down from the air.
Innate Realm!
The burly Old Man was a master. Everyone present was silent, no one daring to speak, retreating to a distance. Liu Wuxie was isolated, standing alone quietly in place.
"Why did you attack and injure people in Danbao Pavilion?"
The burly Old Man was in charge of this area of the Danbao Pavilion hall. His name was Lei Tao, and he had been a Steward in Danbao Pavilion for over thirty years. He had never encountered anyone who dared to injure people in Danbao Pavilion. Liu Wuxie was the first.
"I have something important to see the Steward here about. This person not only refused to introduce me but also used foul language. He attacked me first; I was merely defending myself."
Liu Wuxie originally didn't want to explain, but to smoothly obtain the medicinal herbs, he briefly recounted what had just happened.
"What do you think our Danbao Pavilion is? You can see whoever you want? Reporting to Steward Lei, I suggest killing this person to serve as a warning."
The Purple-robed man's Face was filled with Killing Intent, wanting to quickly kill Liu Wuxie. The ruler in his hand flickered in and out of sight, revealing it was a lethal weapon.
The other attendants nodded, urging Steward Lei to kill him quickly.
Lei Tao knew a little about Liu Wuxie's information. He had already learned Liu Wuxie's identity from others just now. For the sake of the Xu Family, he temporarily held back and did not kill him.
"I am the Steward here. What do you need me for?"
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he would find the Xu Family for the losses here and have Xu Yilin compensate. The reputation of Danbao Pavilion could not suffer losses.
"There are too many people here, it's inconvenient to talk. Can we find a quieter place?"
Liu Wuxie frowned. There were some things he didn't want to mention in front of too many people. From beginning to end, his gaze was calm. Facing the pressure of Lei Tao's Aura, he still appeared very indifferent, giving people the illusion that he truly didn't put the people in front of him in his eyes.
"What kind of thing are you? You still want to find a quieter place? I think you're here to cause trouble. I suggest breaking his legs and letting him know the consequences of offending our Danbao Pavilion."
The Purple-robed man was relentless, his body itching to move. As long as Lei Tao said the word, he would pounce at any moment. He had been holding back a belly full of anger from being avoided by Liu Wuxie just now.
"Slap..."
A loud slap echoed in Danbao Pavilion. The Purple-robed man's body flew backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily into the corner of the wall.
"Noisy!"
