Chapter 150 The fish under the water begin to surface
The newcomer was none other than the Liu family patriarch, an old monster in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, a legendary figure often mentioned by the older generation in Qingmu City.
Back in the day, he was a renowned figure in this city; the ground would tremble if he stomped his foot.
For the past twenty years, however, he has vanished as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, hiding in a secluded cave south of Qingmu City, devoting himself entirely to studying profound cultivation techniques, hoping to break through his cultivation bottleneck, and rarely concerning himself with external affairs.
But now, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Liu Sisi is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She stumbles and falls all the way to his cave.
Upon seeing the Liu family patriarch, Liu Sisi knelt down with a thud, sobbing uncontrollably. She cried out breathlessly, "Patriarch, if you don't intervene soon, our Liu family will be completely finished in Qingmu City! The Jade Cauldron Profound Sect and the Liu family are in cahoots, colluding to force the City Lord's Mansion into repeated defeats, and they're on the verge of total annihilation. The foundation our Liu family has built over so many years is about to be uprooted and destroyed!"
That desperate and helpless look was heartbreaking to anyone who saw it.
Upon hearing this, the Liu family patriarch, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them with a "whoosh," his eyes flashing with a cold light. Without saying a word, he transformed into a black streak of light and rushed over at lightning speed.
His appearance instantly silenced the battlefield, making it so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The previously deafening shouts and chaotic scene were as if someone had pressed the mute button.
Everyone was stunned by the overwhelming pressure emanating from him. Their necks stiffened as they turned, and their gazes instantly focused on him.
Then look at the Liu family patriarch, standing proudly in the void, the pressure emanating from his body is like a solidified black fog, pressing down heavily, making people feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
Tuoba Xun'er and the others turned deathly pale in an instant, realizing something was wrong.
Although the three of them were all experts at the Nascent Soul stage, and could roam freely in Qingmu City, compared to the Liu family patriarch at the early stage of the Divine Transformation stage, they were like a small witch meeting a great wizard. It was like a child with no strength fighting against a strong man with the strength to lift a thousand pounds. The difference in strength was like heaven and earth, more than a hundred thousand miles away.
After the Liu family patriarch appeared, he did not rush to make a move. Instead, he coldly swept his eyes over everyone, as if he were looking at a group of insignificant ants that could be crushed at any moment. His gaze was full of disdain and indifference, as if the lives and deaths of these people were not even worth a hair in his eyes.
"Hmph, a greenhorn who hasn't even grown up yet dares to interfere in the affairs of Qingmu City. He really doesn't know what he's getting himself into."
The Liu family patriarch spoke, his voice as cold as an ice blade in the dead of winter, each word sharp and piercing, sending a chill down one's spine.
Tuoba Xun'er gritted her teeth, her face turning red, and retorted in a crisp voice, "Senior, although the three of us are no match for you right now, it doesn't mean that the people behind us can't defeat you!"
She spoke with great confidence. Although she was not confident in dealing with this old man, she had that unapproachable young master backing her up, so what was she afraid of!
The Liu family patriarch seemed not to hear him, and threw his head back and laughed loudly. The laughter shook the surrounding air, like a boulder being thrown into a lake: "I want to see if the people behind you can protect you!"
After laughing, he instantly closed in on Tuoba Xun'er, raised his hand and unleashed a black palm print, striking her chest directly.
The change came too quickly; Tuoba Xun'er had no time to react or dodge, and could only grit her teeth and swing the Futian Silk on her shoulder to defend herself.
With a loud bang, Tuoba Xun'er felt an overwhelming force surge towards her. Like a kite with a broken string, she was sent flying uncontrollably, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her face instantly turned pale, and she became completely listless.
Po Yue, who was watching from the side, suddenly had his eyes turn bloodshot and roared, "Fight him!"
He swung the dragon-patterned staff in his hand, his spiritual power surging wildly, and smashed it fiercely at the Liu family patriarch.
For a moment, the shadows of sticks piled up in layers, looking quite frightening.
But in the eyes of the Liu family patriarch, this was nothing more than a child's game, not worth mentioning at all.
He gently raised his hand, his index and middle fingers lightly pinching together, as elegantly as plucking a flower, and gently touched the Panlong Staff.
With a loud "bang," the Panlong Staff flew out of his hand, cracking the tiger's mouth. The force of the impact sent him staggering backward before he could barely regain his footing.
"That old dog is really something!"
In the next second, Lu Xuefeng thrust forward with his spear, the Soul-Severing Spear in his hand transforming into a black streak of light, carrying an indomitable momentum as it pierced towards the throat of the Liu family patriarch.
The Liu family patriarch snorted coldly, a hint of contempt flashing across his face. He dodged to the side, his movements as light as a willow catkin dancing in the wind, easily avoiding the fierce attack.
Immediately afterwards, he slapped out with his backhand, the speed as fast as lightning and the force as great as a landslide.
Lu Xuefeng was unable to dodge in time and was slapped away, flying to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. He struggled for a few moments but couldn't get up, looking utterly pathetic.
Inside the small courtyard in the south of the city, Han Yi was leisurely sitting there enjoying his tea.
The moment the Liu family patriarch's aura appeared, he seemed to sense it. He sat up straight from his languid recliner, his gaze instantly becoming sharp as an eagle's, as if piercing through layers of walls, looking towards the battlefield.
"Early stage of Nascent Soul! This is getting more and more interesting! The big fish hiding beneath this calm surface is starting to surface."
A slight upturn of his lips revealed a playful smile, as if everything was under his control.
He quietly held the teacup, took a small sip, his movements elegant, and gazed leisurely into the distance, as if he were pondering something.
"If we don't step in soon, the three of them alone won't be able to hold out!" Su Yao couldn't help but remind him from the side.
"I'm a cripple, you wouldn't expect Fairy Su to make me take action, would you?" Han Yi's skin was as thick as a city wall, and he innocently claimed that he was still injured.
"I'm only responsible for protecting your safety; I don't care about anyone else!" Su Yao said decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Is this still the same Fairy Su who cares about the world? Lu Xuefeng is your fellow disciple, don't you even care about the bond between fellow disciples? How heartless!" Han Yi began to mock her, his smile growing brighter, as if he had found something amusing, his eyes gleaming with cunning.
Han Yi's cultivation has now reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Taking advantage of the fact that the Soul-Suppressing Nails sealed most of his cultivation, he took the opportunity to comprehend the essence of the realm. At this moment, he did not want to let some trivial matters disturb his state of mind.
In addition, with that persistent old ghost, the man in the blood robe, he was reluctant to make a move, fearing that he would be targeted by that old man again.
Fortunately, the spirit of the folding fan concealed his true nature, preventing the blood-robed man from tracking him for the time being. The safest approach now is to conceal his aura and safely break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Su Yao rolled her eyes at him. "After all this talk, who's going to deal with that old guy?"
"No need to go, I'll make him come right now!" Han Yi quietly unfolded his folding fan. The words and images on the fan were full of hidden meanings. With a gentle wave, an invisible ripple seemed to spread through the air.
The Liu family patriarch, who was just showing off on the battlefield, was suddenly pulled over by an invisible hand and appeared out of thin air in the courtyard in the south of the city.
He looked at the man and woman in front of him with a wary expression. He couldn't even see their cultivation levels, especially the young man sitting in the recliner, who seemed to be shrouded in a fog, unfathomable.
"Who are you two? What are you doing here, playing tricks on us?" asked the Liu family patriarch.
Upon hearing this, Han Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and he replied softly, "You just hit my people, and I have to get an explanation for them."
With that, Han Yi flicked his wrist, and the Beast Taming Ring flashed with a dazzling light. A giant bear, several tens of feet long, seemed to awaken from its slumber and appeared with a bang in the courtyard.
The moment this giant bear appeared, it was as if a small mountain had suddenly risen from the ground, exuding a powerful aura that chilled people to the bone.
"I won't bully you. You're at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and my pet happens to be of similar strength. Let it fight you!" Han Yi said.
