How could a person who was addressed by the Young Master of the Yan family be ordinary?
Not anyone could be the Young Master of the Yan family.
Besides, Yan Shaoqing wasn't the only one who reposted that post. Even Bai Yusheng and Lu Rao reposted it.
These people were all big shots in their respective circles.
Among the top four wealthy families in Yun Cheng, the Yan, Bai, Gong, and Mo families, two of the heirs had reposted Nameless's Weibo post.
Although the Lu family wasn't considered one of the top four wealthy families, they still held a high position in the medical world.
In terms of social status, they weren't inferior to the big families.
He had just registered his Weibo account today, yet so many big shots were following him and reposting it for him. It was obvious that his status was definitely not lower than Yan Shaoqing's group.
Hence, everyone thought that Gong Zeli was the one who helped Qiao Mianmian settle the rumors and scandals.
Actually, it wasn't?
The person who helped her settle it was this nameless person?
Then, the rumors between her and Gong Zeli were all untrue?
The reason why she was able to get the MC endorsement was that she was this Nameless's girlfriend?
Because the young master of the Gong family had a good relationship with Nameless, he made an exception and gave her the endorsement?
Everyone had all kinds of guesses.
What they guessed the most was who Nameless was.
Internet pal A: "F*ck, this John Doe is too awesome. It hasn't even been a minute since the registration, but the big shots like the Yan family's young master and Bai Yusheng actually followed him at the same time and reposted his Weibo to express their support. Who exactly is he?"
Internet user B: "Unknown. His name is quite low-profile, but his stance is not low-profile at all. This is the first time I've seen Yan Shaoqing show such a flattering side. Yan Shaoqing actually calls him Boss. Could it be that his identity is even more impressive than Yan Shaoqing's?"
Netizen C: "Didn't you guys realize that the Gong family's young master also followed him and reposted his Weibo? Oh my god, among the top four wealthy families in Yun Cheng, the heirs of the three big families have appeared. Who exactly is this Nameless?!"
Less than a minute after this netizen finished exclaiming, the sharp-eyed netizens realized that the Mo Corporation's official Weibo account was also following Nameless.
Then, they reposted his Weibo to show their support.
Mo Corporation V: "Supporting Nameless. The Mo Corporation will assist Nameless and file a lawsuit against anyone who has bad intentions and is trying to smear Nameless's reputation. You can create any rumors you want, but don't even think about escaping if you do. The Mo Corporation's gold medal lawyers are waiting for you."
The netizens: "…"
Even the Mo Corporation's official Weibo account supported him?
He even said he wanted to use the Mo Corporation's top legal team to help him fight the lawsuit?
Could this be considered as the gathering of all four major families in Yun Cheng?
Oh my god, this John Doe was too awesome.
The top four wealthy families had all appeared at the same time to support him. His appearance was too impressive.
Could he be a member of one of the top four wealthy families?
No matter who he was, after this incident, there was no need to doubt his identity.
Nameless's appearance and the support of the successors of a few large families caused those haters who had been too quick with their words to panic. They were afraid. They quickly cleared all the information on Weibo, afraid that the Mo Corporation's lawyers would find them.
Everyone knew how terrifying the Mo Corporation's top lawyers were.


"Hubby, I don't want anymore, I feel terrible..." "Baby, be good, finish up this medicine." 
The handsome man embraces the woman in his arms, coaxing her tenderly as he feeds her the medicine. 
Qiao Mianmian stumbles upon Mo Yesi, the most esteemed scion in all of Yuncheng City, and ends up sleeping with him for the night. After he offers her benefits in exchange for their marriage, the newly appointed Mrs Mo suddenly has the power to have everything she ever wished for. 
"Hubby, I slapped the Movie Queen Cheng Feifei today, was I too much?" 
"Baby, does your hand hurt? Let me rub it for you." 
"Hubby, I maxed out your credit card, are you angry?" 
"Baby, are you happy with your purchase? Let me know when you need more." 
"Hubby, I'm tired today, I don't want to move..."

In the Federation, a war had arrived!
Destroying two families in one night, the Tian family didn't hesitate to fight the remaining six families. This is the horror of both the Tian family and the Zhang family combined! Those world espers who just broke through yesterday showed their might in the war. Their terrifying power was so heart-wrenching.
Three months to destroy the top ten families!
This was the slogan roared by the Tian family. This seemingly ridiculous claim, after they destroyed two families yesterday, no one dared to speak against it.
Fortunately, they halted their march after destroying two families.
Everyone knew they were digesting the fruits of the battles. After fighting all night, they needed to take a break too. As for the other families, it became their breathing space. This was too sudden, who would have thought that after more than ten years of peace, the gradually declining Tian family would suddenly declare war?
No one was prepared!
No matter which family it is, they weren't prepared for such a war. Otherwise, even when the gap in strength is huge, would the battle end in one night? With those two families annihilated, everyone knew that another big battle would break out soon.
They were all preparing.
All members quickly assumed the state of readiness for a huge battle. Those six major families secretly held a meeting, dealing with the declaration of war by both the Tian and Zhang families.
Overnight, the entire atmosphere in the Federation changed drastically.
This was a war between the top ten families. Fortunately, no matter how ferocious the battle is, they didn't involve other forces or any ordinary people.
As for the other forces, they had no plans to intervene.
Although everyone knew of the unification of the six families, it's only a matter of time before the Tian family continued their plan. However, before this, everyone needs to know the result, the result of the war. Are you really sure that the Tian family can beat the other six families? Perhaps both sides will suffer losses instead?
The Tian family had an extreme self-confidence. After assessing the strength of those six families, they declared their confidence to the world!
As for the other forces, they just watched from the sidelines, spectating those top ten families killing each other until both suffer losses. Meanwhile, the Federation and Origin Ability Association had chosen to close one eye. It was said that an elder of Origin Ability Association had made an evaluation of this battle that affects the entire Federation.
The entire Federation is in chaos.
All the top ten families had now entered into a state of readiness.
As for such chaos, it didn't affect Su Hao and the others. They participated in the battle yesterday, but they were just there to fill the numbers. The indignant Tian family sent out six world espers, and under Tian Gang's leadership, they destroyed the enemy with ease.
This was the first move by the Tian family.
Swift like lightning!
They would never rely on this group of unknown espers for such an important battle. The reason why they let Su Hao and the others to follow is to display the Tian family's strength. Shut down any evil desires and truly fight for the Tian family!
In fact, what they did was right!
These rogue espers... oh, no, these self-cultivators, ones who struggle in a time of chaos, even after reaching the peak domain realm, the insecurity in their heart still remained. The Tian family gave them what they lack the most. After destroying a big family overnight, such shock was hard to imagine.
"Damn, the Tian family is so strong." 
"This is our chance. Hehe, look, the other families couldn't even hold a candle against the Tian family. To sign that contract yesterday was simply the right move!" 
"It's a total slaughter!" 
This was the most frequent phrase heard by Su Hao about the battle.
Can you imagine the scene of a group of domain espers gossiping? These famed espers, which people idolized, were not different than those ordinary citizens in Tian City. Obviously, the might of the Tian family and the incomprehensible vanity had made them lose their minds.
For Su Hao, the thing he is concerned about is the distribution of resources.
After the war, in order to encourage them, the Tian family gave rich resources to everyone. 
The post-war Tian family was like a parvenu.
However, these were still not enough for Su Hao!
62%!
Su Hao looked at the energy accumulated into his physical body before sighing. These resources are sufficient for any domain esper to cultivate for a year, yet it only increased his progress by a mere 2%.
"With such speed, I will have to cultivate till old age." Su Hao was a little depressed.
The professional realm is already this hard, what about the domain realm then?
In fact, the middle progress of energy accumulation wasn't his worry. The only thing he is worried about is the accumulation during a bottleneck. If he's to experience the same thing when trying to breakthrough into the world realm after reaching the domain realm...
He could only smile like a fool.
At that time, he could only resort to becoming the enemy of the entire world, plundering energy everywhere. Even if he's to use all the resources in the Federation to breakthrough, would that be enough?
He wasn't sure!
"I hope that mysterious card can bring some pleasant surprises then." Su Hao soon put this matter in the back of his mind.
When the battle began, the big elder did contact him. Su Hao briefly explained the situation of the Tian family to him, and let them handle it. Su Hao felt that it's better to not personally intervene in this matter. His knowledge in this area is close to zero. Apart from creating more chaos, he really didn't know what to do.
Thus, it's more appropriate to hand this over to the big elder.
Of course, the details Su Hao provided regarding the Tian family shocked the big elder for a long time. Of course, Su Hao dare not tell him that he's now in the Tian family. Otherwise, the big elder would have raged. After saying a few mysterious lines, he cut off the communication.
The matter of the Su family was just a small episode.
Su Hao didn't think that he's any better than those old men. Both the Tian and the Zhang family's attack seemed ferocious, but it's mostly on the merit of a surprise attack. After all, who would have imagined that the gradually declining Tian family would go out of control in a night? And to possess such terrifying strength?
In one night, without any guards, those two families were destroyed.
After this news spread, it caused all the other families to be on high alert, it won't be easy for the Tian family to attack anymore, which is why Tian Gang set a three months time limit. Or else, the Tian family could have ended this war in three days, uniting the entire Federation, right?
Su Hao believed that after making preparations, all the families' trump cards would appear one by one. This war is probably going to last longer than one might imagine.
As for the Su family's matters, Su Hao didn't consider it for long.
After considering that the Su family won't face any big issues, Su Hao shifted his attention back to his main concern, energy!
There are still 38% to go!
How much is that?
Su Hao estimated that it should be around the energy he absorbed at the Su family. Obviously, it should be something that a top ten family has. This meant that if Su Hao wanted to breakthrough, he would need to plunder energy from the families defeated yesterday by 50%...
Will the Tian family agree?
Of course not.
Su Hao guessed that if he's to ask for this, he would either be blasted out or killed on the spot as a spy.
"What to do?" 
Su Hao thought hard; the only method he has now is to fish in troubled waters. Only when this water becomes more complex, can he fish happily.
As he pondered, one man came to the camp, causing a commotion.
"Who?" 
"Clan Head is here, quick." 
"Clan Head? Who?" 
Su Hao looked up in astonishment. When he had a quick glance, he smiled. The Clan Head of the Tian family had changed. He's someone Su Hao knew. Who is this acquaintance he can meet in the Tian family?
Tian Zi!
Su Hao didn't expect that after several turns and twists, Tian Zi would become Clan Head!
Looking at his strength, Su Hao felt sorry. Level five domain realm, although that's considered powerful to an average person, it's obviously doesn't match someone like Tian Zi who had been cultivated since young. Su Hao understood how he ended up as a Clan Head.
To simply put it, he's there as a puppet.
"What a poor child." Su Hao sighed.
Apparently, after being defeated by Su Hao many times and that Xiao Die's incident, the past arrogant Tian Zi had been reduced to such a sorry state.
In fact...
The temperament of his entire self had changed.
"Huh?" 
As if noticing Su Hao's gaze, Tian Zi looked over there. Su Hao just nodded with a smile, causing Tian Zi to turn his head uncomfortably.
"Who is that?" Tian Zi frowned and asked someone around him.
Without knowing why, when he saw that big man for the first time, he felt uncomfortable and disgusted from the depth of his bones. That gaze of the big man made him even more in a bad mood. Who is he? The Tian family's Clan Head! Although he knew that his position wasn't high, it's obviously not something a domain esper can look down on! That sympathetic look in the gaze really hurt his self-esteem.
If Su Hao knew this, he would probably smile bitterly.
He just gave a casual look, and that hurt Tian Zi's soul? This proud genius that everyone looked up to in the past, how fragile is his current self-esteem?
"His name is Lin Hu." With a brief introduction from an underling, Tian Zi then understood.
Because of the details done by Lin Hu in Tiankeng, his incomparable, unique talent is enough to have an advantage in many special missions. Tian Gang also paid more attention to this guy named Lin Hu.
"No matter he's so arrogant." Tian Zi smirked, "I thought there was a war preparation mission? Give it to him." 
"This..." The underling hesitated for a moment, "Clan Head, this isn't good. After all, he's under the care of Senior Tian Gang." 
"Who is the Clan Head here? You or me?" Tian Zi said angrily.
"I will arrange for it immediately." The underling said in a hurry. Only then did Tian Zi sneered, but he didn't notice that the underling shook his head while looking at him. It's precisely because of such a temperament that you're just a puppet.


The arrival of origin ability era. Many berserk beasts spawned. Humans with superpowers blooming like mushrooms. Su Hao is just an ordinary 3rd year high school student who had mastered a lowly grade origin ability named “Model analysis”.

However, when he was creating a character model in his mind by analyzing the opposing side’s ability, a crazy idea echoed in his mind. What would happen if he creates a model of the entire world? This would imply that he… would be like a God, controlling the world!

"Young master, you are quite fierce..." Brisa's voice was a little tired but ecstatic. She was lying on Liu Yang's chest with her eyes closed.
"You were amazing too" Liu Yang smoothed the beautiful woman's hair in her arms. He was surprised to feel the pleasures that Brisa gave him.
"Young master, if you want some more services, you can wake me up..." Brisa slept. She was very tired after the long activity session with Liu Yang.
But how did that happen? Liu Yang doesn't normally do this kind of thing without being with his women.
The answer is very simple.
Going back a few hours ago ...
Liu Yang and Brisa were sitting around a table. One on each side, the two were talking about the information Liu Yang bought.
As he wanted to hear some information about the noble families in Crystal City, Brisa stayed in the room with Liu Yang.
Hotel rules say that the chosen maids must stay with guests until they leave.
"Young master, what kind of information would you like to know about noble families?" Brisa waited for Liu Yang to finish reading the information before asking. She didn't disturb him.
"Brisa, I want to know everything you know about them" Liu Yang knows that a big city like Crystal City has many influential and extremely powerful families.
Each of these families has many strong people as subordinates. Liu Yang needs to learn more about them to avoid being killed without knowing what happened.
"Young master, are you not from that region?" Breeze already had a vague idea of ​​this.
Liu Yang asked her to buy maps and information about the surrounding regions and the creatures that live in those regions. This proves that Liu Yang came from another city.
"Yes, I am not from that region. I am traveling across the kingdom to train. This is the first time I have come to Crystal City" Liu Yang did not deny. He understood that it was easy to see that he is not someone from the city.
"Ohh… Young master, which do you prefer to hear about families in? The most influential or the least influential?"
"I would like to hear information about the most influential people first"
As influential families are the most powerful in the region. It is normal for Liu Yang to want to know about them.
"Young master, the top five families in Crystal City are Farmwin, Rootdall, Frucca, Dawnguard, and Westwin. These five families control about eighty percent of the entire city, the other twenty percent are controlled by seven slightly smaller families. The division is this way because the five families have powerful support in the capital of the kingdom. Some members of these families are relatives of the royal family of the Temore Kingdom, because of this, they have great influence in all the cities where they have businesses." Brisa explained about the five families first.
"I see ..." Liu Yang was surprised to find that there was so much difference between the main noble families in the city with the rest.
The difference is very big.
(I never imagined that this city was managed by a small number of families. It shows that these five are quite powerful. I need to remember not to cause problems for them, but if they cause problems for me ... I will have to fight back) Liu Yang was thinking about this.
"Brisa, what parts of the city do these five families control? They must have big business over the city, right? "
"Young master, equipment stores, auction houses, restaurants, shopping malls, and clothing stores. Almost all types of stores belong to these five families, but each family had its specialty.
For example, the Farmwin family has control over almost every restaurant in the city, the cooks who work for the family are mostly people from another world. So their food is very different from ours, it attracts a lot of people. The Dawnguard family are experts in forging weapons, so weapon stores belong to them.
The five families have a tacit non-aggression agreement between them. None of the five families will attempt to steal customers from each other. They will only cause problems for the other seven families and some smaller noble families."
"I see…"
(This is quite interesting ... It seems that people from another world are in great demand in certain segments of society.) Liu Yang understood many things from this short report.
"Young master, do you still want to know about the smaller families?"
"Yes. Could you tell me what these seven noble families are? "
"Young master, the seven minor noble families are Woodlow, Helstsu, Stanner, Watmoon, Claycus, Brideth, and Froughtt. The other dozens of small noble families are irrelevant because they are subordinate to the big families"
"I see… What do these smaller noble families do?"
"Young master, in Crystal City, no one has the courage to compete with the five great noble families in the city. The seven smaller families act as city watchmen, to be more exact they are like spies of the kingdom's government. These seven families fail to match the five large families, but they are still quite influential in some regions outside Crystal City."
"This is a little bit interesting. Are the seven families also members of the royal family?"
"Not. They are just government officials. The members of these seven noble families in Crystal City are just a few low-level influential people. The real power of these families is in other major cities in the kingdom. Like the five families in Crystal City, they can be powerful and very influential in this city, but if they go to another powerful city, they will not be as influential. "
"I see ... So it means that each city has its core of influence" Liu Yang had already seen this several times in the other cities he visited. But he thought it was only in some cities that this kind of thing happens.
Liu Yang never imagined that within the Temore Kingdom there were so many powerful noble families.
Liu Yang's noble family was still quite weak, even though he is from Gold-Miner City. He needs to increase his power and expand his influence within the kingdom.
The problem with doing this is the shock against other noble families.
At the moment, Liu Yang still had no plans to develop his noble family. But eventually, he will have to do this to create a safer place for his lovers.
"Yes, young master. You're right. Each city has a group of noble families that dominate the city. The only city that is governed by just one family is the kingdom capital. The family that rules the capital is the royal family"
"Ohh… Brisa, I appreciate your help. I already learned everything I needed. Here is a little compensation for your time" Liu Yang did not know the rules of the hotel, so he figured it was a problem that he had been with Brisa all this time.
"Young master, I don't need this. But I hope the young master will give me something else"
"What?"
"I want the young master"


After graduating from university, Liu Yang and his group of friends went to drink at a bar. The group drank until they couldn't take it anymore.

Liu Yang was so drunk that he didn't know how to get home, so he intended to rent a hotel room.

The next day, Liu Yang woke up inside a hotel room, beside him was a beautiful naked young woman. They were both naked.

After enjoying the remaining time with the young woman, Liu Yang passed out again. He only woke up several days later, this time, he was in a boat being taken somewhere strange.

The place he was being taken to was called the Dark Continent.

Li Yixiao seemed to be very pleased with his title as Lord, and indicated that it complemented his name. He suddenly put down his pen and asked, "Lu Shu, why were you at the black market?"
"I was selling Chinese chives. We grow Chinese chives at home," Lu Shu said and laughed buoyantly.
"Don't trick me. My two eyes of wisdom have seen through everything." Li Yixiao's eyes were bright and piercing. "Going all the way to the black market to sell Chinese chives? Even changing your appearance? Who are you trying to cheat!"
Lu Shu bit his gums. If no one recognized him, then it would be much easier to explain. But if he was recognized, there would be no way that Lu Shu simply came to sell Chinese chives after carefully changing his appearance and entering the black market.
Li Yixiao did not wait for Lu Shu to reply. He winked and asked, "Did you get a haul of goods from Japan that you want to get off your hands?"
From Li Yixiao's point of view, with Lu Shu's current identity, he could not buy good things off the black market. If he had really wanted to buy something, he should go directly to the Darkness Kingdom. The black markets of the secret practitioners were considered low-end. 
From Li Yixiao's knowledge, a majority of the inherited tools and mythical objects in the country were in the hands of the Heavenly Network and the big families. Furthermore, they were only available in small quantities. It was very hard to find these items in normal black markets. 
Lu Shu was also thinking about his problem. He now had over 90 thousand magical stones. If he converted everything into cash, he would not be able to finish spending it.
Before Lu Shu had encountered Nalan Que and the others, he did not think much of it. But after meeting this big family, Lu Shu suddenly had a thought. Each big family greatly wanted their children to rise in rank within the Heavenly Network. They were willing to spend more resources to support this effort. This was another reason why the respective big families gathered magical stones.
Now, Lu Shu had magical stones. Many families had some tools and mythical objects. Even the Collection of Gods could have objects like Deep Sea White Sand. He did not believe in China, with its vast territory and abundant resources, the big families did not have precious treasures. 
At first, tools and mythical objects were all collectively called tools. But slowly, objects that were near their elemental origin like mystic water and Deep Sea White Sand, as well as tools with weapon spirits like Black Dragon Spear and Xin Ting sword became known as mythical objects. Thus, mythical objects became the term for objects that were of higher level than merely tools.
As for whether there was anything more powerful than mythical objects, at least the Darkness Kingdom had not encountered any. Within the Darkness Kingdom, there were people who said that Coral's Gungnir could be considered a holy object above the existing mythical objects. But till present day, there has been no final conclusion.
Some tried to give the holy objects above mythical objects a definition. There were two kinds of holy objects. The first was that they were able to grow with the strength of its host. In the future, it may become another level of mythical object. The second type was an almighty treasure passed down from the ancient past. 
During the magical era, everyone started searching for many objects from scratch. Thus, these definitions had slowly risen up, but they were not definitive in any way.
This was the best era, as everything in the past had been overthrown and renewed. It was like humans discovering new continents. Whoever reached the new continent first had the right to define the continent.
Lu Shu thought about it and said, "I have magical stones that I want to sell. But I'm afraid that casual clients would not be able to afford them. So I thought of getting into contact with the respective big families."
Li Yixiao gasped in shock. "So many magical stones? Casual clients won't be able to afford them, let alone a few thousand pieces?!"
"Er…" Lu Shu thought about it and cleared his throat. "Ahem, around that amount."
Lu Shu did not dare to say the truth. He was scared that he would shock Li Yixiao… besides, people now were not particular about concealing their wealth. It was not too late even if he only revealed the truth when he was dealing with the big families.
But since it was a cooperation, they had to work out a win-win situation. Li Yixiao said, "I'll take this under my wing. I will help you handle everything, including anything regarding Nie Ting. But it's only a few thousand magical stones. Even if Nie Ting reproaches us, it shouldn't be a big problem. Don't worry. I, Li Yixiao, am very particular about righteousness. I will definitely not hand you over!"
It was great that Li Yixiao was willing to bear this. But Li Yixiao had mistaken the amount of magical stones Lu Shu owned. As for whether Li Yixiao would be able to handle the actual amount of magical stones when the time came, that was another problem…
He could bear a few thousand, but what about tens of thousands…
"Sure. But I have one request. I hope that everyone will be able to exchange their mythical objects for magical stones as much as possible." Lu Shu thought about it and said, "If not, I'm afraid that they will not bring so much cash with them."
Li Yixiao smiled. "Which family cannot bear a small cost of a few billion? They all have good cash flows. Don't worry."
The families within the country were enormous. They could still bear a cost of a few billion, or even tens of billions. Lu Shu thought so too. One should never underestimate the financial groups of these organizations. They were simply for the public to see. Somethings, the things that people exposed to the public eye were simply the tip of the iceberg.
But there was one problem within these big families. The reason why they were so large was because these families better understood that money begets money. They invested their money into industries with big profits. To these people, money was only money. On the other hand, depositing their money into the bank was a foolish decision. To them, the interest from the bank was not considered money.
Under these circumstances, there was probably no family that could take in 90 thousand magical stones in one go. 
"I insist that they bring goods to exchange. If not, the deal will fall through." Lu Shu was thinking that there was no point in him selling so much just for cash. He could sell even a few pieces and get money. It was only wise to get hold of even more training resources in the current situation.
"Okay. I will pass the message to them." Li Yixiao waved. "But even with your own brother, you should keep clear accounts. What do you think about a 5-5 share?"
As he said this, Li Yixiao felt slightly guilty. It was such a large amount, yet all he needed to do was to contact the big families and bear the responsibility for Lu Shu. For this amount of effort, a 5-5 share may be too much.
He carefully looked at Lu Shu. Before Lu Shu could speak, Li Yixiao said: "How about 4-6?"
Lu Shu laughed at looked at Li Yixiao. "No."
"3-7," Li Yixiao seemed to speak with generosity. "3-7! I can't go any lower than this. I'm still doing a self-criticism here. Nie Ting had not stopped me from taking over the Luo City black market, but I'm still facing a lot of pressure here."
Lu Shu did not want to argue with Li Yixiao. Li Yixiao did not know the actual amount, thus he had no way of estimating his predicted profile. But Lu Shu was different. He was very clear of exactly how much value he had in his hands.
"9.9-0.1 share." Lu Shu knew that if he did not open his mouth, Li Yixiao's expectations would never be lowered.
Li Yixiao's face darkened. "Brother, this is my first time seeing decimals in these shares…"
"From Li Yixiao's distress, +999!"


Magical energy has come to this world; Lu Shu could only stare as one powerhouse after another appear.

Looking at his own peculiar ability, he exhaled a breath of cold air.

Dog balls!

...

This is a story of how Lu Shu used poisonous chicken soup to become the Demon King

"Brat, who are you calling a dog?"
Young Master Chen's face was gloomy and he asked in an unfriendly way.
Being insulted by Qingfeng over and over made Young Master Chen very dissatisfied. If it were not for Xue Lin, he would have punished this guy.
"Whoever insulted Young Master Zhang, I'll call him a dog."
"Boy, you are just a small staff member of the Ice Snow Corporation. Believe it or not, I definitely won't let you stay in Eastern Sea City."
"Really? I don't believe you." Qingfeng Li shook his head, his face full of disbelief with a mocking touch.
Young Master Chen's head was really kicked by a donkey. He said he wouldn't let me stay here.I'd say it's you that won't be able to stay here.
Even the mayor of Eastern Sea City didn't dare to speak to Qingfeng Li like that, let alone Young Master Chen.
He was the King of the Wolf Continent, the number one king of the underworld, sharing a similar status to the Wolf Continent's presidents. Young Master Chen didn't even deserve to be his attendant.
"Xue Lin, I suggest you dismiss Qingfeng Li from the company. Otherwise, the Chen Corporation will stop our cooperation with the Ice Snow Corporation." Young Master Chen smiled coldly, turning around and saying to Xue Lin.
He knew that he couldn't beat Qingfeng Li's silver tongue. He could only threaten Xue Lin to fire Qingfeng Li, and make him jobless and have nothing.
"That's right. I agree with Young Master Chen's words. If you don't fire Qingfeng Li, the Wang Corporation will also stop cooperating with the Ice Snow Corporation." Young Master Wang smiled coldly and said loudly.
He had been annoyed by Qingfeng Li. Now Young Master Chen was leading, he certainly wanted to join.
Moreover, he was friends with Young Master Chen so naturally, he would help to insult Qingfeng Li.
"Haha, I agree too. CEO Xue Lin, if you don't fire Qingfeng Li, us Li Family will also be stopping the corporation with your company." Young Master Li laughed as well, issuing a threat to Xue Lin.
The marriage between Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin was very secretive. They didn't hold a wedding banquet, and except for Qingfeng Li's deceased grandpa and his eldest and second eldest uncles, no one knew it in the Li Family.
So Young Master Li didn't know that Qingfeng Li was Xue Lin's husband. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to get her to fire Qingfeng Li.
The three houses among the big four families in Eastern Sea City stood together and threatened Xue Lin, asking her to fire Qingfeng Li.
"F**k, this is the first time I've seen three Young Masters dealing with one person."
"Qingfeng Li is so naïve to offend the three Young Masters. He's doomed."
"Do you bet that Xue Lin will expel Qingfeng Li."
"Of course he will be fired. Only a dumbass will offend the big three families for a small staff member." People around were abuzz, thinking Xue Lin would certainly fire Qingfeng Li.
After all, the three Young Masters represented the three big families in Eastern Sea City and were extremely powerful. They could even merge the Ice Snow Corporation into their own if they wanted.
No one fought against the three families in Eastern Sea City.
"Hey, brother, you stood up for me but I dragged you into trouble." Young Master Zhang walked up, patted on Qingfeng Li's shoulder and said, his face full of guilt.
He knew that to help him out, Qingfeng Li called Young Master Chen a dog, which seriously offended Young Master Chen. Now came the revenge.
"Brother, rest assured. The Zhang Corporation will cooperate with Ice Snow Corporation." To ease the guilt in his heart, Young Master Zhang said.
"Haha, that's ridiculous. Young Master Zhang, you have a useless willy and you're never thought highly of. Your family is in the hands of your father and your younger brother. When was it your turn."
Young Master Chen smiled coldly. A touch of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, Young Master Zhang's face changed drastically. He wanted to flip out, but knowing the opposing party was saying the truth, he couldn't say anything.
Though Young Master Zhang was the eldest son in Zhang's Corporation, because of his disability, his father didn't like him. The real power of the company was in his younger brother's hand.
Even though they could cooperate with the Ice Snow Corporation, it had to be granted by his younger brother. But will his brother offend the big three families just for Qingfeng Li? Obviously not.
"President Xue Lin, say something. Will you fire Qingfeng Li or not?"
Seeing Xue Lin in silence, Young Master Chen frowned and asked coldly.
Seeing Young Master Chen in front him, and two others, her cold beautiful face showed a sarcastic expression.
Am I so stupid that I would fire my husband? Xue Lin was speechless and rolled her eyes.
She now understood, they were assholes in the wolf's skin and could not compare with her husband at all.
These people only threatened her and coveted her beauty. Only her husband treated her with his heart, making soup for her and getting her a platinum card to attend the charity banquet. In Xue Lin's heart, she was with his husband.
"Sorry, Qingfeng Li is the employee of Ice Snow Corporation. I won't fire him."
Xue Lin shook her hand, full of indifference in her cold beautiful face.
"Xue Lin, did you think it over. If you don't fire Qingfeng Li, you're against our three big families. Your Ice Snow Corporation is going to close down by then."
Young Master Chen threatened, face cold.
It never occurred to him that Xue Lin would ignore the warning and threats of the three families for a small staff member.
"I will say it once more, even if the Ice Snow Corporation closes down, I won't fire Qingfeng Li."
Xue Lin's tone was unusually firm, and there was not even the slightest wavering.
Hearing Xue Lin's words, the people around looked at her in surprise. Offending the three big families for a small staff member, was CEO Xue Lin's brain dead?
People called Xue Lin the Business Queen in the past. This time though, they began to doubt her intelligence.
Facing the mocking looks of the crowd, Xue Lin was extremely firm. She decided that no matter how hard it was and how big the threat was, she wouldn't fire Qingfeng Li even if she had to be against the three big families.
"Bro, President Xue Lin is so nice to you."
Young Master Zhang came to Qingfeng Li's side and said, face full of envy.
Qingfeng Li was the only one that was treated like that by the number one beauty in the entire Eastern Sea City.
"Well, yeah she is. "
Qingfeng Li nodded and his heart was a little touched.
In order to defend him, Xue Lin went against the three big families, which left him feeling very complicated.
But these three Young Masters who dared to threaten her wife's company really irritated Qingfeng Li.
"Huh, you three retards. How shameful do you have to be to threaten a woman."
Qingfeng Li smiled and protected Xue Lin behind him, laughing at the three Young Masters.
"You dare to say we are retards. I think you're the retard." Young Master Chen smiled coldly and ridiculed him.
"You have a bed-wetting disorder. You wet your bed every night." Qingfeng Li smiled faintly and said with an inscrutable look on his face.


Qingfeng was known as the Wolf King, a legendary mercenary that had mastered peerless martial arts and the sophisticated art of medicine. He originally wanted to just live a peaceful life, but his arranged wife, who is a CEO, thinks he is a loser and wants a divorce. The cold war between husband and wife began.

　　"Hmm." Roger did not deny the words of the Lan Luo Patriarch.
　　Except for some of the more special wizards, similar to the self-modification of alchemy wizards, or the absolute control of the bloodline wizards, which can change their own physical appearance within a certain range, the external image of most wizards changes with the change of lifespan. .
　　However, the longer the life of the wizard, the less obvious this change.
　　But one thing remains unchanged, that is, when the wizard's life is about to end, from the soul to the body, without exception, they will gradually decay. In addition to appearances, there will be some other signs. The appearance of these signs also means that the life of a wizard is about to come to an end.
　　Roger saw some signs from the Lan Luo Patriarch.
　　"I have lived for almost two hundred years. I dare not say to see through life and death, but I don't have too many regrets. The only regret is that I haven't been able to step up to the next level and see the world that really belongs to the wizard."
　　Lan Luo Patriarch smiled.
　　"However, I am not afraid of death, but I dare not die... The Lanluo family has been passed down for thousands of years. If I can't die by myself, I will die, and I can't look down..."
　　"Patriarch?!" Demon on the side looked at Patriarch Lan Luo in astonishment, not knowing why he said such words.
　　Patriarch Lan Luo ignored Demon, but looked at Roger helplessly and said, "Your Excellency Roger, can you understand my concerns?"
　　"The three families of you seem to be friendly on the surface, but this is based on the fact that they are different from each other... Unless there is a special situation, otherwise, the status quo should be maintained." Roger tapped the arm of the chair lightly with his fingers. , Took a deep look at Patriarch Lan Luo and said: "And Patriarch, if you die, it is one of the special circumstances."
　　"If there are high-level apprentices in each other, even if there is more than one in each house and one less in the other, the problem will not be too big because of mutual restraint... But if there is no high-level apprentice in any house suddenly Now, the other two will not be indifferent, right?"
　　"What?! Lord Roger, do you mean that the Bernard family and the Israel family will attack us after the death of the lord?" Demon stood up in shock.
　　Demon's appearance was not pretended, but he was really shocked!
　　Patriarch Lan Luo was not surprised when he saw Demon's shock, but he felt a bit of indignation and frustration in hating iron and steel. He smiled bitterly and said to Roger: "Thousands of years of comfort have made these younger generations forget the Lan Luo family. Based on this, what is the fundamental reason for not failing for thousands of years..."
 
　　"For thousands of years, external threats like the Ziyan Kingdom are not uncommon. The three major families have always joined hands to resist the enemy. In the eyes of outsiders, the three major families are united."
　　"Isn't it?" Demon didn't understand why Lan Luo Patriarch would suddenly say this.
　　There are few conflicts between the three major families. Even if there are conflicts, the elders of the three major families will try their best to reduce the major issues and the trivial issues. There has never been any irreversible conflict.
　　"When there are foreign enemies, of course the three big families will be in the same spirit. Even if there is no threat from foreign enemies, the three big families do rarely contradict each other, but they are all built on a basis... the forces are equal!" Lan Luo Patriarch It's hard to conceal my worries. "Your Excellency Roger is right. As long as I'm alive, even if the number of senior wizard apprentices owned by the Bernard family and the Israel family is larger than ours, the three are still Forces at one level. None of them risked hurting the enemy by one thousand or harming themselves by eight hundred and rashly attacked us."
　　"But if I die, do you think the Lan Luo family can still be safe?"
　　"Patriarch, is it because you think too much, the three big families have been together for so many years, shouldn't they be so unsympathetic, right?" Demon doubted.
　　"laugh--"
　　Harrison suddenly let out a chuckle from the side. Seeing Demon looking over, Harrison shook his head and sneered: "Demon, you are too naive, right... Love? What is that? I think you stayed at home for too long. Have you forgotten the eternal laws of this world?"
　　"Even in the struggle within the family, you still need to see who has the big fist and who can win. Why do you think other families will talk to you? Where do you think this is, the world of fairy tales?"
　　Harrison made no secret of the irony in his words.
　　In this world of wizards, strength has always determined everything. As for the sentiment and reason, it is only applicable when the strength of each other is similar. In the case of unequal strength, wanting to talk about love and reason is tantamount to whimsical.
　　Demon was shocked when he heard Harrison's sarcasm, his face turned pale.
　　He did not refute, nor paid attention to the tone of Harrison's words, because he suddenly realized...Langlow's Patriarch's concerns, Roger's objective analysis, and Harrison's mockery were the most reasonable, and he was wishful thinking. He thinks that the other two big families will not take action against the Lan Luo family, but it is completely untenable and unreasonable.
 
　　"In other words, once the Patriarch dies, is the disaster for the Lan Luo family coming?"
　　Demon was a little confused.
　　However, he changed his mind. Since the Patriarch had already thought of this possibility, he should have been prepared for it. Thinking of this, he looked at Patriarch Lan Luo as if he had caught a life-saving straw.
　　"Patriarch, you must already have a countermeasure?!"
　　"Countermeasures? What countermeasures can I have, I'm just a dying person..." Patriarch Lan Luo hissed and sighed, "My original plan was to let you secretly take the core children of the family and leave Moder City quietly. Go elsewhere and regain a foothold."
　　"Leaving Mode City?"
　　"Yes, being displaced is better than being uprooted."
　　Demon noticed that Patriarch Lanluo used the original word in his words, and his eyes lit up: "Then Patriarch, do you have a better way?"
　　"I don't know if it will work, but I want to give it a try."
　　Patriarch Lan Luo spoke slowly, turned his gaze to Roger, and groaned: "I also had this idea just when I saw Lord Roger's shot. I just don't know if Lord Roger is willing to help. This one is busy."
　　"Oh?" Roger remained silent, wanting to hear what the Lan Luo Patriarch thought of.
　　"I would like to ask Lord Roger to help me kill all the high-level wizard apprentices of the other two big families, without leaving one! I wonder if Lord Roger is willing to help this, dare you dare to help this?" , Patriarch Lan Luo asked almost every word.
　　As soon as he said this, Harrison's face suddenly changed while sitting next to Roger!
　　Even Demon, who was waiting for Patriarch Lanluo to give a solution, never expected that Patriarch would give such an answer. He trembled and repeated: "Kill all the high-level apprentices of the two major families?"
　　Patriarch Lan Luo stared at Roger closely, as if hoping to get an answer from his face.
　　However, Roger, who heard the words of Lan Luo's Patriarch, still had that calm expression on his face, whether he was happy or angry, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Roger has reached the summit on the path of the knights, but he knows that there is another way to become an unshakable force, the wizard.
Follow Roger on the bloody path of a wizard and, as he unravels the mysteries of the multiverse.

Outside the Celestial Burial Valley, white clouds sparsely dotted the clear and boundless sky. Although hundreds of cultivators gathered outside the valley, it was still quiet.
These people had been sent to spy on Jiang Hongyan's action. They didn't plan to attack her—they didn't have the guts to attack her.
When Liu Jingning arrived, she had taken off her human-skinned mask along with Xu Que and revealed her face. The cultivators had already recognized her identity. As the prestigious Holy Virgin of the Utopia Sect, Liu Jingning was not someone they could mindlessly offend, even if she was not as reputable as Dong Genji.
Moreover, Jiang Hongyan had reached the highest level of the Infant Transformation Stage. None of the cultivators dared attack her.
Liu Jingning and Jiang Hongyan silently watched Xu Que, who was setting up spells at a distance.
After a while, Liu Jingning turned to Jiang Hongyan with a smile. "I didn't expect this little brat to push his every limit for you. It's a pity that tomorrow you'll have to face desperate combat. No matter how many spells he sets up, they can only slow those people down for several breaths!"
Speechless for a short while, Jiang Hongyan eventually shook her head. "He never does something he isn't sure about!"
"After being with him the past few days, I agree with you! However, this time is different. The situation is unavoidable now. Among your opponents, there are over 100 powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. Even the Utopia Sect sent five Elders at the Void Training Stage here. Luckily, my Grandmaster is not here. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay here and protect you!"
After saying that, Liu Jingning helplessly sighed, "But tomorrow I can't stay here anymore!" She was quite clear that nothing would happen if someone saw her staying beside Jiang Hongyan.
However, if she were found here tomorrow, the Utopia Sect would become involved in this issue. According to the style of those big sects and families, they would definitely accuse the Utopia Sect of being partial to Jiang Hongyan!
"Tomorrow you should just leave together with Xu Que. He is quite gifted and deserves a better future. It is unnecessary for him to offend the entire East Continent for me!" Jiang Hongyan said calmly.
Hearing her words, Liu Jingning smiled wryly and shook her head. "Nothing he does matters now. He has offended almost all the families and sects in the East Continent!"
Jiang Hongyan was stunned and her eyebrows furrowed. "What happened?"
Liu Jingning sighed and told her everything Xu Que had done since his arrival in the East Continent.
On the first day, he'd offended the Bright Moon Hotel and killed sovereigns of the Gong Family and the Jiang Family. Then, he'd killed another batch of people in the stone quarry of the Jiang Family. That night, he'd attended the Stone-Cutting Convention and cheated all the families and sects there. Finally, he'd teased the three big families mercilessly. He'd even become the notorious "Lightning Rogue" on his way here.
Hearing that, Jiang Hongyan was totally dumbfounded.
He'd managed to offend all the big families and sects in the East Continent within several days!
However, Jiang Hongyan soon realized the issue. It seemed that every trouble Xu Que had encountered was not caused by him, but by someone else. All these troubles came to him as if they were arranged by an invisible hand!
Jiang Hongyan's eyes dimmed. In a low voice she said, "He is haunted by the misfortune . . . "
"Don't worry. It seems that is the last thing he's afraid of. He broadened the horizons of my beliefs about people the last few days. Ordinary people are always frightened by misfortune. Only this little brat always plans to make trouble. In addition, I get the feeling that he is quite happy after knowing he is haunted by misfortune!" Liu Jingning said this part with a weird expression.
After hearing her words, Jiang Hongyan was surprised and opened her mouth to say something.
Rumble—!
Suddenly, a thunderous bang came in from the sky.
They were surprised and thought the big families and sects were preparing to attack in advance. After looking up, the two of them became stunned at the same time.
They saw an enormous swirl in the sky, which was sweeping Spiritual Qi around it crazily. Even the magnificent Spiritual Qi at the inlet of the Celestial Burial Valley was being sucked up by the swirl like flood water.
A moment later, light bloomed on the ground several hundred meters away from them. After the convergence of the Spiritual Qi, a light screen rose abruptly.
In the blink of an eye, the entire inlet of the Celestial Burial Valley was blocked by the light screen, which separated them from the guys outside. Meanwhile, black flames gushed out from the ground into the sky and were turned into a sea of black flames. Inside it, countless ghosts wrapped by black flames floated and gave off a horribly fervent aura that twisted the void.
These flames were the Mystical Fires added by Xu Que: The Eight Waste Destruction Flame!
"Considering the aura, is it . . . an Expert Spell?" Liu Jingning was completely shocked and her expression immediately changed.
Jiang Hongyan was also totally stunned.
They had noticed Xu Que setting up a spell yesterday. However, they hadn't given it much thought—even Jiang Hongyan knew Xu Que could take extraordinary measures. But they had never expected Xu Que to set up an Expert Spell.
…
Outside the inlet, everyone stared with wide eyes.
"An . . . Expert Spell! Is he insane?"
"My Gosh! The spell used to protect the mountain of our Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect is also an Expert Spell!"
"Now you're talking! Except for the Jiang Family and the Gong Family, who can set up Spiritual Spells, only a few families and sects in the East Continent can afford to set up expert spells!"
"D*mn! This guy is really insane! Why did he set up an Expert Spell here?"
"This is a reckless waste of natural resources. This guy is totally lunatic! Sh*t!"
Hundreds of cultivators sent by the families and sects to spy on Jiang Hongyan were trembling and shouting in surprise. Headed by Dong Genji, people of the Carefree Building were also dumbfounded.
Then, a man beside Dong Genji regretfully said, "That guy is absolutely insane! If I knew he was setting up an Expert Spell, I would have robbed it from him just now!"
Everyone became quiet.
An Expert Spell couldn't be evaluated with Spirit Stones or treasuries. Spell Masters were quite scarce in the East Continent. The Expert Spells were even rarer, which could only be obtained from the large auctions held every few decades.
The spell used to protect the Carefree Building was just an Intermediate Spell.
But now Xu Que had set up an Expert Spell to help Jiang Hongyan in holding the big families and sects off. It was a reckless waste of grain!
"An Expert Spell wasted like this! Alas!" The young girl who had kept staring at Xu Que shook her head and sighed regretfully.
"Where does that guy come from?" someone asked, glancing at Dong Genji.
Dong Genji's face was quite dark and his heart was filled with rage.
He had underestimated Xu Que and lost an Expert Spell, which completely ruined his mood.
"Just now he said he was Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Have you ever heard of this organization?" Dong Genji asked coldly.
People around him were immediately confused. Apparently, they hadn't heard of it before.
One man in white among them started speaking with surprise in his voice. "I heard that during the Stone-Cutting Convention co-hosted by the Jiang Family and the Gong Family several days ago, a guy from the Exploding Heavens Faction made trouble and caused great loss to the three big families. But the name of that guy is Chow Yun-fat!"
"Really?"
"Yes. I heard that Chow Yun-fat of the Exploding Heavens Faction cooked a kind of Smelly Tofu there that could enhance any cultivators' Soul Strength by ten percent!"
"What? How could such a thing exist in this world?"
"Heh-heh, it was nothing! He even took out a miraculous item which could look through the ancient stones. That miraculous item was purchased by the three big families with 5,000,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. However, Jiang Limu of the Jiang Family betrayed the alliance of the three big families by stealing the item. His whereabouts are still a mystery. For this, the Jiang Family suffered great loss by compensating the Gong Family and the Bai Family with three ancient cities!"


I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? 

Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf.
 
The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough!


Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit.

“Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!  

At the thought of the Cao Family, Ling Lie took in a deep breath of air as he sat there solemnly without saying anything.
Evidently, he thought of what happened to the Ling Family 18 years ago when Ling Yun mentioned the tragedy of the Cao Family.
After a long while, Ling Lie finally sighed and shook his head. "Ai, Cao Junxiong has always been incomparably careful and cautious with everything he did. In the end, this still happened to his family…"
Ling Yun recalled that Cao Shanshan mentioned that Chen Jianwei was her cousin.
Since he was her cousin, it meant that the family heads of the Cao Family and Chen Family, Cao Junxiong and Chen Jingtian, were related by marriage of their son and daughter.
Ling Lie looked at Ling Yun and tried to explain. "Cao Junxiong's second daughter is married to Chen Jingtian's third son, Chen Haishan…"
Paternal cousin!
Ling Yun couldn't help but smile in his heart. The Chen Family is indeed vicious enough to eliminate their "relatives" before anyone else!
Ling Lie smiled faintly as if he had figured out what was going through Ling Yun's mind. "Yun Er, this is actually very normal. After what happened to our Ling Family 18 years ago, the Chen Family managed to rise through the ranks to become one of the top three families."
Among the seven big families in Beijing, the rankings were as follows: Long Family, Ye Family, Chen Family, Sun Family, Cao Family, Li Family, and finally, the Ling Family.
However, an election for the leaders of China would occur once every five years. In 18 years, there had been three changes in leadership and numerous thrilling and perilous incidents throughout these changes. 
This was basically the survival of the fittest, and with all the drastic changes in the environment throughout the 18 years, there was naturally the emergence of a few newer clans and families. In order to secure their own place, after representatives of these families were elected, they immediately channeled large amounts of wealth and benefits for their own families. After attaining these benefits, they naturally planned to raise a large army to help grow their family's strength.
Among them, there were also many large families in Beijing that received the support of some ancient families and secluded sects. Besides having a strong foundation and history, the strength that they displayed had already surpassed the Ling Family. This was also why the Ling Family was basically a joke to the rest of the families in Beijing.
What kind of place was Beijing? The political center of China!
Without authority, without money, and without talent… It actually wasn't hard to make a big family collapse in an instant.
It was actually an incredible feat that the Ling Family could hang on for 18 difficult years, maintaining the title of one of the seven big families in Beijing.
Throughout this period, the Long Family's support for the Ling Family definitely played a crucial role. However, there was another hidden factor that couldn't be neglected.
This hidden factor was someone all of the seven big families in Beijing knew, the one who everyone worked hand in hand to force out of the martial world — the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin. 
Back then, the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin was only 19 years old, yet she managed to successfully cultivate the Devil Scheme and reached Xiantian Realm Level Nine. She was outrageously talented in her devilish cultivation.
Back then, the Holy Virgin was nine-months pregnant and wanted to protect the infant in her stomach. She managed to anger the Devil Sect and its enemies, which basically meant that she offended both sides of the world. If it wasn't for her baby, an absolute talent and stubborn character like the Holy Virgin would never be able to watch Ling Xiao waste his own cultivation and marry some other woman like that. 
For 18 years, nobody knew where the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin was hiding or what she had been doing. So, of course, nobody knew what her current cultivation realm was either!
It was true that 18 years ago, the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin was indeed pregnant, but now, she was all alone in the world without anything to worry about!
Once this woman became unwilling to be left out and returned, nobody knew what would happen to Beijing.
Some of the newer families who had no idea what happened back then were naturally more daring. They talked bad about the backbones of the Ling Family, blaming and mocking the Ling Family for wasting the title of the seven big families in Beijing. On the contrary, those who knew what happened 18 years ago were all fearful of this hidden factor of the Ling Family.
Anyone daring enough to push the Ling Family down or kill Ling Xiao would most certainly die. It was almost inevitable that the previous Holy Virgin would fly out in a rage to kill the culprit!
However, it was different for the Cao Family. The Cao Family and the Li Family were originally the last two families of the seven big families in Beijing. There was a direct relationship between their rankings and the strength of their strongest experts.
The Cao Family's old head, Cao Junxiong, was merely at Xiantian Realm Level Four. The new head of the family, Cao Xingchang, was only at Xiantian Realm Level One.
As for the Li Family, it was even worse. There were only one or two Xiantian experts. In fact, the Li Family only managed to squeeze into the seven big families in Beijing because of their robust financial resources.
In terms of financial resources, the Li Family was first without a doubt. This was because their family controlled China's electricity and coal. It was simply hard for them to be poor in a time where such resources were so valuable.
Money could make the devil turn millstones. The Li Family had plenty of money, and their family was never particularly enthusiastic about fighting for power, which was why they managed to maintain a neutral position throughout all the elections. They maintained their good relationships with the other six families and even some of the newer families. Therefore, everything had been smooth-sailing for them.
As for the Cao Family's old family head, Cao Junxiong, he was still the same cautious man. He was never interested in the money and cared more about power and position.
During the Cao Family's most glorious days, they actually had three seats among the nine core leaders in China!
Interests and goals determined the direction of his hard work.
Hence, the people from the Cao Family had always been busy trying to manage their network of connections in search of important talents. They weren't as concerned about their martial arts, which was why Cao Junxiong remained stagnant, especially during the last few years. He had already turned the Cao Family into a connection iron panel but had completely given up on his cultivation. In fact, his cultivation even showed signs of decaying.
Cao Junxiong led his Cao Family like an aircraft carrier, but he had deviated from the planned route. While everything appeared well and fine, it was no longer the case.
The greater the influence the Cao Family had, and the wider their connections, the harder the Cao Family was going to fall due to becoming a true worldly family.
This caught the eye of the ambitious Chen Family, who was impatient to rise up the ranks. On the surface, they pretended to be close with the Cao Family, flattering them while they started planning all kinds of schemes against them in the dark. Eventually, they managed to land a fatal strike.
Why Chen Jianwei? Why the Blood Clan? And why The Embrace?
This was because The Embrace was the only way to have complete control over the two generations of family heads of the Cao Family. This was the only way to get them to listen to everything the Chen Family had to say and wanted them to do!
By holding the feudal overlord, one could control his vassals!
Even after Cui Lao had explained everything that happened to the Cao Family to Ling Lie, Ling Lie still smiled despite his solemn expression. "Among the seven big families in Beijing, the Long Family had always been leading the way. The Ye Family conceals their strength and bides their time. The Sun Family got dirt on their face and was swept clean by you in Qingshui City. As for the Cao Family, they couldn't even withstand a single blow. And there's no need to mention the Li Family and our own family…" 
"Hence, the Chen Family's plan to make use of the transformed Chen Jianwei to attack the Cao Family was undoubtedly an excellent move!
"The Li Family only has money and only cares about money, which means that they are nothing to worry about, while our Ling Family isn't even worth considering. The foundations of the Chen Family coupled with the Cao Family's worldly influence and the support of the Blood Clan and Japanese ninjas… They could have really caused a lot of trouble for the Long Family…
"However, they would merely be able to cause trouble, that's all. Given the power that the Chen Family revealed, it was simply an impossible dream for them to think about taking over the Long Family's throne!
"Chen Jingtian has been outrageously arrogant and conceited over the years. He really hasn't regarded the Long Family highly enough, and an arrogant army is bound to lose!
"In fact, even the Ye Family could easily deal with the current Chen Family, let alone the Long Family!"
Ling Yun was stunned. "Grandpa, are the Long Family and the Ye Family really so strong?"
Ling Lie nodded in a serious manner. "Yun Er, to be honest, you were really fortunate this time. No, incredibly fortunate. Grandpa can't believe that you actually ambushed the Chen Family twice and even killed hundreds of their experts…"
"If Grandpa knew about your plan, I would definitely have stopped you!"
Ling Yun was tongue-tied as he asked, "Why?"
Ling Lie spoke with a certain level of fear as he said, "This is because there are at least three people who can defeat you in the Chen Family. Even if you have plenty of hidden trump cards, if the three of them, or even two of the three, joined hands to take you on, you would definitely lose!"
Ling Yun stood up in shock, refusing to believe it. "What? No way!"
"Grandpa, didn't Cui Lao tell you about this before? Your grandson has a secret technique, and once I execute my Dragon Elephant Divine Force, I can become ten times stronger…"
Naturally, there was no need for Ling Yun to hide this from Ling Lie. He immediately said, "Considering my current level of strength, I don't think I would lose to an expert at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Nine!"
Ling Lie furrowed his brows before shaking his head at Ling Yun. "Yun Er, what kind of expert is your master? Didn't he tell you?"
Ling Yun asked, "Tell me what?"
Ling Yun had no master of any kind, and everything he said was simply based on his own judgment and battle experience.
Ling Lie was astonished. He stood up and looked over at Cui Lao for a moment before turning back to Ling Yun. "Yun Er, didn't your master tell you anything about how everyone below Xiantian Realm Level Seven is considered an ant?" 
Ling Yun was dumbfounded. "This… I did hear this before…"
However, this wasn't told to him by a master. In fact, Ling Yun only heard it from Akamatsu the day before.
Ling Lie sighed as he continued, "Yun Er, given your current strength, and even ten times that… We can't be sure that you would even be able to escape safely from the hands of an expert in the early stages of Xiantian Realm Level Nine…"
"You're really looking down on the ancient martial arts!"


Lingyun's tribulation has failed and he has descended onto Earth in the degenerate age. Step by step, he will rise up against the natural order!
