Chapter 379: Chapter 261: Divine Soul Differentiation, Flying Sword Kills!
“Strike first and gain the advantage; strike later and suffer calamity!”
“If we really wait until trouble comes knocking, it’ll be too late!”
Thoughts flashed through Xu Yang’s mind.
Only then could he avoid the kind of fear, sleepless nights, and loss of appetite he had experienced when being targeted by the Asura Sect previously!
“These ancient families have been passed down for a long time, and even though dynasties may change, they remain strong. Each of them is ambitious… Master Xu, you’ve humiliated them in front of the media this time. They surely won’t let it go.”
“Not just the Li Clan.”
“I’m afraid even the other families will see you as a thorn in their side.”
Feng Zhaoqing analyzed the situation.
Xu Yang furrowed his brows and said, “I admit that I had some friction with Longxi, but I’ve never met any of the other major families. Why would they hate me?”
Feng Zhaoqing hit the nail on the head and said, “Because you are a peerless genius with limitless potential, and you are too close to Minister Wang.”
What kind of reason is that?
Xu Yang was initially stunned, but he was not a fool. He quickly understood the key point and said, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid that when those old immortals come out of their secret realms in the future, they’ll inevitably cause me trouble!”
“It’s fine as long as Director Xu is aware.”
Feng Zhaoqing stood up and said, “Director Xu, I have to go preside over the examination. I’ll be busy first.”
“Alright.”
Xu Yang nodded and said, “I don’t have much to do at the college every day. So… starting from tomorrow, I won’t come to the college. I’ll come back to work when the enrollment is finished and the new semester officially begins.”
“You take care of the college affairs, and if there’s anything, just call me.”
After sending away Feng Zhaoqing,
Xu Yang contemplated for a moment and began practicing his talisman strokes.
However, words like “Longxi Li Clan” and “ancient martial clan” kept popping up in his mind, making it hard for Xu Yang to calm down. He drew three Wulei Talismans, but only one was successful!
“Longxi Li Clan, you’re pushing it too far!”
Xu Yang slammed the talisman brush on the table.
Damn it!
This Longxi Li Clan hasn’t even started targeting him yet, but they’ve already made him restless. Imagine how much trouble they could cause in the future?
Xu Yang’s face darkened, and he stormed out of his office, the college, and drove his Mercedes-Benz home.
At home, none of the girls were around.
Xu Yang then went to Yue Niang’s house and found that… they were all playing games there!
It turned out that Xiao Miao had spent a fortune to order some computers and game consoles online. A room was specially cleared out in the villa as a gaming room. It was the girls’ first time playing with these things. They were having a great time, even Tu Xiaoyu, who hugged a game console while playing Tetris.
“Husband, why did you come home so early today?”
Seeing Xu Yang, Liu Shishi, who was sitting in front of the computer watching “Furious Speed,” quickly got up and said, “Have you had lunch, Husband? I’ll go cook for you.”
Yang Yin also wanted to get up and help.
Yue Niang went upstairs and laughed, “Master Xu is here? Shishi, don’t cook for yourselves today… My family still has plenty of ingredients left. Just eat here for lunch.”
She wore an apron.
Apparently, she had already started cooking.
“Then, let’s go help Sister Yue Niang.”
Liu Shishi and Yang Yin volunteered to help, and Yue Qiluo, Yuluo, and the others wanted to go as well, but Yue Niang just smiled, “It’s enough with just the three of us.”
Soon enough,
Lunch was ready.
At the dining table, Xu Yang said, “Yue Niang, I’d like to ask you for a favor.”
Yue Niang put down her chopsticks and said, “Master Xu, just say it.”
After briefly introducing his conflict with the Longxi Li Clan, Xu Yang said, “In order to prevent future trouble with the Li Clan, I’ve decided to visit their ancestral home in Longxi and have a good talk with their family head.”
“What’s there to talk about?”
Yun Mengxi slapped the table and said, “I say, just kill them all and be done with it. Is the Longxi Li Clan… be stronger than Lu Shan Sect?”
Xu Yang said, “After all, the Longxi Li Clan is an ancient martial clan with a heritage even more ancient than Lu Shan Sect. They should not be underestimated.”
Yun Mengxi continued, “If you go to visit them and they don’t give you face, what will you do?”
“If they don’t, then fight!”
Xu Yang sneered, “I, Xu Yang, may be afraid of trouble… but that doesn’t mean I’m a coward.”
Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, Yue Qiluo, and the others also wanted to go.
However, Xu Yang refused.
He was going to negotiate.
It might not necessarily end in a fight.
They packed up and went.
After lunch, Xu Yang got in the car, and he and Yue Niang headed towards Ganshire Province.
He had already learned from Feng Zhaoqing that the ancestral home of the Longxi Li Clan was located in Lintao County, Ganshire Province.
This Lintao County, known as “Didao” in ancient times, is located on the western edge of the Longxi Basin and borders the east side of the Tibetan Plateau, in the central part of Ganshire Province. It is adjacent to Xi’an’s Anding District to the east and Lanzhou City to the north.
Leaving Wu City.
They got on the highway.
It wasn’t until nightfall that Xu Yang and Yue Niang finally arrived in Lintao County.
Yue Niang flew into the sky above Lintao County, looking around and quickly located the “Li Manor”.
The Li family’s mansion was not in the county town of Lintao County, it was about 40 minutes’ drive from the town, built by a mountain. The entire mansion was constructed like an imperial palace, all with ancient architectural style.
“The Li Clan of Longxi is truly a prominent ancient martial clan… Amazing, truly amazing!”
Yue Niang landed on the ground and brought Xu Yang to a place not far from the Li family’s mansion. She pointed to the small mountain behind the Li family’s mansion and said, “That mountain is not ordinary. I sensed three dangerous auras in it. The mountain should be the location of Li Clan’s hidden realm established by the cave, and the Li Clan’s experts are hidden within it.”
“Additionally, there are several experts within the Li family’s mansion.”
Those who could be called experts by Yue Niang were at least in the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm.
Xu Yang didn’t dare to use his Heavenly Eye carelessly…
Martial artists were extremely sensitive to the detection of auras. The Longxi Li Clan was skilled in martial arts with many experts in the family. If he looked around recklessly… he would definitely be detected!
At that moment…
Wouldn’t the Li Clan’s people know that he had come?
“Yue Niang.”
“You will hide your figure later, and we will sneak into the Li Manor.”
Xu Yang said, “This time, I just want to talk with the head of the Longxi Li family, and I don’t want to disturb anyone else.”
Yue Niang laughed and said, “I understand… As Master Xu, you are now a well-known figure. Coming to negotiate with others is, after all, not a glamorous matter, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.”
Yue Niang’s figure gradually became illusory and eventually disappeared from sight.
However, Xu Yang could still detect her breath, just two meters away from him.
Xu Yang took out an Invisibility Talisman and attached it to himself, his figure also disappearing, then he used the Earth Escape Skill. When he reappeared, he was already inside the Li family’s mansion.
He looked around, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
He saw an energetic old man wearing Tang-style clothing sitting under a pavilion, drinking tea and listening to music from a radio. The old man seemed to have sensed Xu Yang’s presence. His eyes flashed with a glint, and he looked sharply in Xu Yang’s direction, saying coldly, “What monster dares to come to my Li Manor to cause trouble? Get out of here!”
“Got discovered!”
“He found us!”
Xu Yang was shocked. At this moment, he couldn’t care less about anything else and immediately unleashed his Dream Creation Skill, followed by a sword light flying up from his body!
The day before yesterday, when he had “cultivated enlightenment” for half a day in the Long Flow River Scenic Area, Xu Yang’s cultivation may still be in the early stage of the Divine Transcendence Realm, but time after time “cultivating enlightenment” had made great progress on his primordial spirit, which had now reached the level of “mental differentiation”!
What is “mental differentiation”?
For instance, previously, if Xu Yang wanted to perform “Daoist flying sword”, his primordial spirit had to leave his body.
But once the primordial spirit was out of the body, the body would lose consciousness.
Now it was different.
He could differentiate a wisp of his primordial spirit to control the “Daoist flying sword” while still leaving a wisp of it in his body!
Pu chi!
The old man was cut in the head by the sword, and his head was sent flying high up in the air.
Xu Yang pulled Yue Niang and said, “Yue Niang, let’s go… Let’s get out of here first!”
Once again using the Earth Escape Skill, Xu Yang dug out from the other side of the Li family’s mansion, took a long breath and said, “The Longxi Li Clan is indeed full of hidden experts. I didn’t expect that a random old man would be so powerful. Even using the Invisibility Talisman, he still sensed me!”
Yue Niang’s expression was strange.
That old man…
He was at the pinnacle of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm and was even close to entering the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Such a high-level expert was not even a match for Xu Yang and was instantly killed by him without even being able to resist; yet Xu Yang did not seem the least bit surprised by this!
His Dream Creation Skill has greatly improved since his last practice!
Not to mention Martial Arts Heavenly Beings, even ordinary people in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would be affected if their will of martial arts was not strong enough!
Just now, in that very brief moment, Xu Yang had used his Dream Creation Skill to affect the old man’s mind for half a breath, before swiftly cutting him with the sword!
Yue Niang said, “Master Xu, didn’t you say you came to see the head of the Longxi Li Clan to negotiate? Why are you killing people?”
Xu Yang,” We sneaked in here, and now that we have been discovered, naturally we have to kill to cover our tracks… Let’s hurry and find the head of the Li Clan.”
Yue Niang, “Do you know the head of the Li Clan?”
Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know what he looks like, but I do know that his name is Li Yifeng… To be able to become the head of a clan like the Li Clan, he must be extraordinary, and I think he should not be able to hide from you and me.”
The two, one person and one ghost, with hidden figures, searched the Li family’s mansion thoroughly.
Even…
Xu Yang discovered a man and a woman having an affair.
But they didn’t find “Li Yifeng”.
“Could it be that Li Yifeng is not at home?”
Yue Niang asked softly.
Just then, a sudden burst of commotion sounded in the darkness. Someone shouted loudly, “There’s an assassin! Quick, people, the head of the family has been killed!”
For a moment, the entire Li family mansion was in chaos.
Countless people rushed to the scene, frantically heading towards the small courtyard where the head of the family lived.
“Quick, quickly seal off the mansion!”
“Go to the back mountain, go to the back mountain to pay respects to the ancestors!”
………
In the darkness…
Xu Yang opened his mouth wide.
His face flushed with embarrassment, and he said somewhat sheepishly, “Yue Niang, it seems that Li Yifeng is indeed not at home… Let’s go, we’ll head back to Wu City first and visit the Li Clan another time when we are not busy!”
