My Ares Son-in-Law

How could such an unparalleled expert be easily offended? His original intention was to facilitate a reconciliation between the two sides, but unexpectedly, the situation spiraled out of control in just a moment!
Zhao Bei abruptly shook off Lin Zhenghao's hand, the force of which caused Lin Zhenghao to stagger back two steps.

He pointed at Lin Zhenghao and cursed, "Lin Zhenghao! Are you a member of the Qingyang Sword Sect or this bastard's lackey? I really can't understand why you, a top expert of the Qingyang Sword Sect, would be so obsequious to a mere brat! And Mr. Xiao? Bah!"

Spit flew everywhere, and the contempt and anger in his tone almost turned the hall upside down!
Lin Zhenghao glanced at Xiao Chen, who stood calmly beside him, and his face instantly darkened. A surge of suppressed anger welled up in his eyes as he sternly said to Zhao Bei, "Zhao Bei! I'm doing this for the sake of the Qingyang Sword Sect's century-old foundation! If you continue to speak disrespectfully to Mr. Xiao, don't blame me for disregarding our past camaraderie and drawing my sword!"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting Zhao Bei's fury. He rolled up his sleeves, his inner energy surging, and roared, "Fine! Very well! You actually want to fight me, a fellow disciple, for an outsider? If you want to fight, then fight! I'll accompany you to the end! Today I'll show you who made the rules of the Qingyang Sword Sect!"

At the height of the tension, Zhao Ruixiang, who was sitting at the head of the table, finally spoke, his voice booming like thunder: "All of you, shut up!"

An overwhelming pressure swept across the entire area as if it were a tangible force. The tables and chairs creaked under the weight. Lin Zhenghao and Zhao Bei froze, instantly falling silent, their faces pale as they endured the crushing aura of the sect leader.

Zhao Ruixiang's gaze was like lightning, his sharp eyes piercing Xiao Chen, his tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Young man, excessive rigidity leads to breakage. The feud between the Lü family and the Qingyang Sword Sect all started because of you, and you cannot escape the blame, do you admit it?"

Before he finished speaking, an even more terrifying pressure crashed down on Xiao Chen like a tsunami! It was the full pressure of a Celestial Realm expert, the air was compressed and made to hum, as if it would crush this arrogant youth on the spot!
He wanted to make this arrogant brat kneel down and submit, to let him see the profound foundation of the Qingyang Sword Sect, and to make him understand that the provincial capital was not a place where he could run wild like the ancient city!
Everyone present felt the terrifying pressure and couldn't help but show smug expressions. Zhao Bei even sneered sinisterly. The sect leader was ranked 283rd on the Dragon Kingdom's Heavenly Ranking. Under such pressure, this brat would undoubtedly kneel, and might even have his meridians completely severed!

However, something shocking happened!

Instead of taking a step back, Xiao Chen stepped forward!
Facing the overwhelming pressure, he took a step forward, his clothes fluttering as his divine energy in his dantian suddenly erupted!

"boom,!"

The pale golden divine essence surged out like magma, and the overwhelming baleful aura gathered around him instantly condensed into an invisible sword, tearing through layers of pressure with overwhelming power!
The entire Qingyang Sword Sect hall shook violently, roof tiles fell off in a flurry, fine cracks appeared on the walls, and teacups on the tables shattered, spilling tea everywhere!
The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly, and their pupils shrank to pinpoints!

Seven or eight pairs of eyes were fixed on the young man standing with his hands behind his back in the arena. His eyes were like cold stars, and he was arrogant, as if he could look down on the world. The earth-shattering pressure just now seemed to have never existed!

The hall was deathly silent; not even the sound of breathing could be heard!

Who would have thought that the sect leader's Celestial Realm aura would be broken by this person in one step!
Just one step!
Is this the legendary number one person in the ancient city? Absolutely terrifying!
Zhao Lina's lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and shock. She was about the same age as Xiao Chen, and her cultivation was already among the best of her peers. However, under the pressure of her father, she could only endure it and there was absolutely no way she could break through so easily!

When did such a brilliant and talented person emerge from this ancient city?
Zhao Ruixiang suppressed the turmoil surging within him, his face ashen, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Chen, I admit your strength is extraordinary, and that may be the basis for your arrogance. But you must understand that this matter concerns two of the province's top powers. How can you alone withstand the wrath of the Lü family?" Xiao Chen's expression was calm, his gaze sharp as he swept over the shocked faces in the hall, his tone carrying a chilling arrogance: "Zhao Ruixiang, I'm here today to tell you that I, Xiao Chen, will take full responsibility for the Lü family's affairs! If your Qingyang Sword Sect fears the Lü family, feel free to push everything onto my shoulders; I can handle it!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!

This person dares to address the sect leader by his given name!

They even dared to take on this enormous responsibility, which could destroy the sect, all by themselves!

Does he really think he can contend with the deeply rooted Lü family on his own?
Zhao Bei could no longer contain herself. Pointing at Xiao Chen's nose, she shouted angrily, "Xiao Chen! Who do you think you are? You dare to say you can handle this alone? You're delusional! To be an enemy of the Lü family is like an ant trying to shake a tree—you're courting death! Even if the Lü family tears you to pieces, they'll still take their anger out on the Qingyang Sword Sect. You're dragging us all down to hell!"

Zhao Ruixiang, sitting at the head of the table, could no longer contain himself and slammed his hand on the table, instantly causing it to crack like a spiderweb.

"Xiao Chen! I don't know where you get your confidence from! Even if you are the number one in the ancient city, even if you killed Situ Xiong on the martial arts stage, even if you can break my pressure, so what!"
This is the provincial capital, not your tiny ancient city!

Don't assume that all martial artists in the world are as vulnerable as the ones you encountered in the ancient city!
The provincial capital is the true starting point of martial arts! Before a true master, you are nothing but an ant, easily crushed with a flick of the wrist!

"Stop your arrogance and ignorance, and get out of the Qingyang Sword Sect with Lin Zhenghao, that traitor!"

Having said that, he glared at Lin Zhenghao, his tone icy and chilling: "Lin Zhenghao, this matter arose because of you, so you should bear the consequences! Considering your many years of service to the sect, the Qingyang Sword Sect will spare your life, but from this day forward, you are no longer a member of the Qingyang Sword Sect! Be a good lackey of Xiao Chen, and don't bother coming back!"

This was the decision of the Qingyang Sword Sect Master, and also the Qingyang Sword Sect's final attitude towards this matter: expel Lin Zhenghao, sever ties with him and Xiao Chen, and let him fend for himself!
Lin Zhenghao's face was ashen, and his body swayed slightly. He had long expected this outcome.

With the return of the core members of the Lü family from their main branch in the capital, their strength has increased dramatically, and the provincial capital is bound to undergo a dramatic transformation. The Qingyang Sword Sect's decision to sever ties with them is, in fact, a move to protect themselves.

But is this really a wise move?
He looked at the young man who stood aloof and proud, and the earth-shattering scene on the ancient city's martial arts stage involuntarily appeared in his mind: shattering a sword with two fingers, flying through the air, and killing decisively!
If the Qingyang Sword Sect misses out on Xiao Chen, it will miss out on its only chance to reach the pinnacle of the Dragon Kingdom!

This young man is a hidden dragon in the abyss. Once he takes flight, he will surely stir up the winds and clouds of the nine provinces and rise above all martial arts forces!
When he reaches the pinnacle, all the contempt and expulsion of today will become the most shameful mark on the Qingyang Sword Sect. At that time, they will only be able to look up to the sky and sigh with regret! (End of this chapter)
