Chapter 89: People from the Chen Family, and Jingting's Thoughts

Openly rebelling?

That doesn't exist.

Luoyue City was never subordinate to any force; it is just that the Seven Spirits have declined, and everyone wants to come and get a piece of the pie.

However, for the successive Sect Masters of the Seven Spirits in recent generations to manage the Seven Spirits into such a state is truly no easy feat; after all, with the existence of the Spirit Cave, to not even be able to cultivate a single Spirit Void Realm expert is quite pathetic.

Yan Xiao glanced at Chen Weilong and said slowly, "Go back and tell your County Governor that Luoyue City has only one City Lord, and his name is Chang Yongsheng. From now on, the Seven Spirits have only one Sect Master, and that is me, Yan Xiao!"

"Get out of Luoxia Mountain."

Hearing such domineering words from Yan Xiao, the people of Luoxia Mountain felt their hearts surge and their morale soar, and they shouted one after another: Get out of Luoxia Mountain.

Chen Weilong's face turned livid; he had always been pampered, and in Liuyun, everyone would give him some face.

He had not expected to lose face today in the tiny Luoxia Mountain.

"A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well, just you wait!"

Chen Weilong gave Yan Xiao a venomous look and turned to leave.

"You should have kept them here."

Tingxue sheathed her sword and spoke slowly.

"What is the background of this Liuyun Chen Family?" Yan Xiao asked.

Luosang glanced at Tingxue and said, "You tell him, I haven't been back in a long time."

It was evident that he was still brooding over the events of that year.

"There are ten great cultivation families in Liuyun County, and the Chen Family ranks second. The family head, Chen Cheng, is a powerhouse at the Spirit Void Peak. Yinmian once attempted to assassinate him but did not succeed.

As far as I know, the Chen Family has a total of 35 Spirit Void Realm cultivators; now there are 34 left."

Did she kill one of them?

"34 Spirit Void Realm experts?"

As expected of the second-ranked family of a county city, their foundation is indeed profound.

"Many forces in Liuyun have their eyes on the cake that is Luoyue City, right?" Yan Xiao looked at Tingxue and asked.

"Yes, various forces had previously openly competed for the ownership of Luoyue City. Yinmian did not know what conditions were used to secure the ownership, so she began planning to assassinate Chang Yongsheng; she did not expect to run into you, falling short at the final hurdle.

Looking at it now, it seems the Chen Family has obtained the qualifications and wants to develop Luoyue City into their second base."

Tingxue explained.

Open competition for ownership? It seems Liuyun did not take Luoyue City and the Seven Spirits seriously at all.

The fact was indeed so; if not for the appearance of Yan Xiao, Yinmian could have easily taken Luoyue City, and there would be no business for Chen Weilong.

Looking at the core disciples of Luoxia Mountain, most were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and even those at the Cave Profound Realm were pitifully few.

To face the retaliation of the Chen Family, the pressure was indeed great.

"Sect Master, what should we do?"

Luohai looked worried; Luoxia Mountain was truly disaster-prone. Having finally survived and being on the verge of rising, another Chen Family had popped up.

Behind the Chen Family, there might be other families like the Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li families eyeing them covetously.

"No need to worry. When soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, cover it with earth. I naturally have a strategy to deal with it."

Yan Xiao said confidently.

"Master is the reincarnation of the Ancient Sword Demon. If that Chen Family dares to come, they will definitely be beaten until they are scurrying away and begging for mercy on their knees by Master himself."

Seeing an opportunity to flatter, how could Wang Dazhu let it pass?

He decisively delivered a dose of flattery, which Yan Xiao found very satisfying.

Because after everyone heard Wang Dazhu's words, their moods were clearly much better, and they seemed not to take the arrival of the Chen Family to heart anymore.

One by one, they looked at Yan Xiao with burning eyes, filled with immense worship.

"Ahem, rest assured, I have many means to deal with them; you all just need to cultivate well."

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Yan Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and brag a bit first.

"Luosang, Tingxue, step forward."

Yan Xiao withdrew his smile and said seriously.

"Subordinate is here."

Luosang and Tingxue cupped their hands in salute simultaneously.

"Tingxue, go to Baixue Mountain; Luosang, go to Qingyun Mountain. You must make them submit and retrieve the Seal of the Sect Master," Yan Xiao ordered.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "It is best not to kill anyone."

He was truly afraid that Tingxue might accidentally slaughter all of Baixue Mountain.

The two received their orders and left.

"Elder Luo Cang, where is Elder Luohai?"

Yan Xiao spoke again.

"Subordinate is here."

Luohai walked out slowly, but Luo Cang was nowhere to be seen.

"Is Elder Luo Cang still practicing the Wind Whisper Curse?" Yan Xiao asked in confusion.

"Yes, Senior Brother said he had gained some insights and has gone into seclusion to comprehend the divine ability," Luohai said awkwardly.

Gained some insights?

Could he have really mastered the Wind Whisper Curse?

Yan Xiao was stunned, but he felt there was little hope.

"Forget it, let him be. You make a trip to the Feng Family Medicine Garden and invite both the medicinal herbs and Jingting back to Luoxia Mountain."

Yan Xiao instructed Luohai.

"I will strictly follow your decree."

Luohai received the order and left.

Calling Feng Jingting back was mainly out of fear that the previous incident might happen again, to take precautions against potential trouble.

"Zhang Ze, send word to Qian Youdao and Ren Jian to hand over the management of their properties to their subordinates and return to Luoxia Mountain immediately to report."

"Send word to the City Lord's Mansion, asking the City Lord to come to Luoxia Mountain for a drink."

"Send word to the Yan Mansion, do not go out as much as possible recently."

Yan Xiao issued order after order, undoubtedly to deal with the Chen Family.

"Sect Master, are you planning to recall all the core disciples to Luoxia Mountain?" Luotian asked with confusion.

This would cause Luoxia Mountain to suffer many losses.

"Yes, to prevent the Chen Family from jumping over the wall like a cornered dog and attacking the core disciples."

Yan Xiao replied.

Luotian stepped back, feeling that this was a sign of the Sect Master lacking confidence, but he could not ask directly, so he had to keep it to himself.

"Master, then what can I do?"

Wang Dazhu chuckled and walked to Yan Xiao's side to ask.

"You? Properly guide your junior apprentice brother in his cultivation, and strive to break through the Qi Refining Realm within half a year."

Yan Xiao rolled his eyes at him and said sternly.

Seeing this, the disciples held back their laughter, looking as if they wanted to laugh but dared not.

"What's so funny? Nangong Erwa, come with me to cultivate!"

Wang Dazhu glared at the crowd and dragged Nangong Erhu away.

"Senior Brother, are we still going to catch crickets?" Nangong Erhu leaned in close to Wang Dazhu and asked in a low voice.

"Shh!"

Wang Dazhu was so startled he shivered, and hurriedly made a gesture to be quiet.

"Wang Dazhu! I told you to guide your junior apprentice brother, and you're teaching him to fight crickets?"

With Yan Xiao's keen hearing, he flew up and kicked Wang Dazhu in the backside, instantly sending him flying.

Nangong Erhu opened his mouth wide, looking at Wang Dazhu's disappearing figure with an apologetic expression.

"If you don't reach the Qi Refining Realm in half a year, I'll kick you along with him next time."

Yan Xiao glared at Nangong Erhu and said sternly.

"Yes, Master. It's all the First Senior Brother's fault; he forced me to accompany him to catch crickets."

Under Yan Xiao's intimidating might, Nangong Erhu very spinelessly betrayed Wang Dazhu.

"Junior Apprentice Brother, you were the one who begged me to take you to catch crickets..."

Wang Dazhu shed tears as bitter as an old father's.

"Bang!"

Just at this moment, a loud explosion came from the Medicine Pavilion.

A figure was blown flying out; it was Liu Yu, who had been painstakingly studying alchemy.

Yan Xiao scratched his head; from the Elders to the disciples, there wasn't a single person on Luoxia Mountain who didn't cause him worry.

After gathering everyone, Yan Xiao began to prepare his next plan.

He took out a mysterious card; this was his trump card for dealing with the Chen Family.

【Five Elements Eight Trigrams Diagram】

This was the name of the card. Just as the name suggested, there was an array on the card. After using the card, it could form a mountain-protecting defensive array with astonishing defensive power, capable of blocking any attack below the Nascent Soul Realm.

This was the only useful magical treasure among the items he had obtained from the lottery last month.

With this array, the Chen Family would have no way to deal with Luoxia Mountain, hum hum hum... hehe...

Thinking of the Chen Family pacing around anxiously outside the array, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Look at that behavior!"

Seeing Yan Xiao's lecherous expression, the System couldn't help but mock him.
