Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 406 Identity Exposed, Verbal Barrage, Say Your Whole Family is Rich!

This child will not be killed.

That wasn't enough to vent the hatred in my heart.

If this child is not eliminated,

This is not enough to save face for the Gongsun family!

Several profound patriarchs exchanged glances, their faces grim, filled with murderous intent.

They never expected that Gongsun Liguang would be caught off guard and suffer a setback!

They were killed right in front of them by a junior, and the killing was swift, so much so that they didn't even have time to retaliate.

But who is this kid?

When did the Du family produce such an outstanding young man?
Or are they, like them, “old young people” who survived from hundreds of years ago?
The group of "old-fashioned" people were puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

"Esteemed Ancestors, this child is named Liu Sheng. He and the eldest daughter of the Du family obtained a predestined connection to immortality at the Qingyuan Cave ruins..."

Just then, a voice answered their question.

The speaker had furrowed brows, an aged face, and distinct features; he was none other than Gongsun Yuezhi, the governor of Youzhou and the current head of the Gongsun family.

Previously, the matter of Liu Sheng and the other two obtaining immortality had caused a great stir and was known throughout the world. Almost all major forces had portraits of the two.

He hadn't taken Liu Sheng seriously before, thinking he was just a hot-blooded and impulsive young man who wouldn't live long.

It wasn't until this moment, when Liu Sheng brutally killed Gongsun Liguang, that he realized what had happened. After examining the situation, he understood the situation.

"Liu Sheng, Qingyuan Cave Ruins, a predestined connection to immortality..."

Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Gongsun clan's eyes gleamed brightly.

Although they had only recently awakened, they were not unfamiliar with the affairs of the world thanks to the Gongsun family's intelligence network, and had naturally heard of the name "Liu Sheng".

Based on his previous feats of splitting a boat with his bronze whip and killing Tongxuan with one arm, a judgment was immediately made—

This child must have a destiny connected to the immortals!

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense. How could a mere novice cultivator possess such terrifying combat power?

"He truly has received a divine favor!"

"The treasures of the world belong to the virtuous! This boy is arrogant, vicious, ruthless, and cruel; he is by no means a virtuous person!"

"Indeed, for the people of the world, the fate of immortality falling into the hands of such people is more of a curse than a blessing."

"Our Gongsun family is a powerful clan in the land, a pillar of Youzhou. For thousands of years, we have cultivated our homeland and protected our people. We should think of the people's needs, eliminate disasters for the country, and nip such calamities in the bud so that they do not poison the world."

……

The group of venerable elders all spoke up, their words sharp and in a few words, they denounced Liu Sheng as a "wicked demon," listing his various "crimes" and making him utterly worthless.

"No, you old fogies, after all that babbling, you just want to seize the immortal opportunity, don't you?"

Liu Sheng picked at his ear, a playful look appearing on his face:
"If you could get benefits just by saying a few words, what would be the point of practicing martial arts?"
I'm right here, and I have this divine destiny with me. Come and take it if you dare!

"Like a bunch of old women, babbling on and on, are you trying to show off how long your tongues are, that you can lick your own assholes?"

These words were blunt and tore apart the hypocrisy of the group of Tongxuan Ancestors, making them so angry that their faces turned red.

In fact, Liu Sheng had a misunderstanding.

It's not that these elders like to ramble on and spout nonsense, but rather it's the process by which their aristocratic clans operate.

It is important to have a "just cause".

When the name is correct, the words will be appropriate.

This allows them to justify violence, robbery, and bullying.

These powerful clans and aristocratic families, who consider themselves to be righteous, believe they must abide by the rules and maintain their reputation. Otherwise, what difference is there between them and bandits, river pirates, or roving marauders?
Otherwise, why would one use the emperor as a puppet to command the feudal lords? Wouldn't it be better to issue commands directly?

This has been the rule of the game for thousands of years.

No matter what you do, you have to have a reason for it. With a reason, you have a legitimacy, and with a legitimacy, you can justify your demands. Of course, whether the reason is right or wrong ultimately depends on how strong your fist is.

Might makes right.

vice versa.

In all matters under heaven, success or failure is the measure of a hero's worth.

Don't you see--

If you work hard at something and others say you're doing it wrong, but you succeed in the end, it's called "perseverance" or "staying true to your original aspiration."

But if things fail, that's called "going south by driving the chariot north" or "being stubborn and self-willed."

Before them, a group of Gongsun clan elders were engaged in a heated verbal battle, their voices so loud that they could be heard clearly for miles around.

This was to justify their killing of Liu Sheng and their attempt to seize the immortal destiny.

Whether you call it a pretext or an excuse, there has to be some explanation.

Liu Sheng didn't understand the "good intentions" of these old men, but he knew that what they were doing was not a good thing.

However, he took the opportunity to activate his innate talent "Bear Scripture" and restore his true energy.

Previously, in order to quickly kill Gongsun Liguang, he had activated many active talents in succession, which consumed a lot of energy and completely depleted his true energy.

If we don't hurry up and recover, we'll have to rely on our physical strength to win the big battle later.

These talents are now at level 5 or 6, while his own cultivation level is only level 4. Even with the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, his true energy is as powerful as that of an ordinary Yellow Court Realm cultivator...

There are more than fifty talents that can be added!

A moderately well-off family with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan can easily support one child, but try supporting fifty?
Liu Sheng is now facing this very predicament.

These talents are all powerful and practical, but they also consume a huge amount of resources, and there are many of them.

Passive types are fine, but active types consume a lot of true energy or health each time they are activated, either depleting mana or health...

Unfortunately, you can't do without them when dealing with these profound ancestors!

Finally, the group of venerable elders finished their verbal attack. In their summary of crimes, Liu Sheng was accused of "colluding with demons, harming his own kind, being ruthless, having a rebellious nature, disrespecting his elders, not adhering to the righteous path, and killing people indiscriminately," and so on.

While not utterly heinous, they were close.

In short, the goal is to thoroughly criticize and discredit him. The fact that the Gongsun clan used their superior strength to attack the weak and their superior numbers to defeat the superior ones is because they were forced into this situation and had no other choice but to do so for the sake of the common people!
"One, two, three, four, five..."

Liu Sheng ignored them, focusing on recovering his inner energy while silently observing his opponent.

There are now five more Tongxuan Ancestors who have revealed their forms.

Judging from the phenomena they manifested, the black and white stone bridges that appeared behind them represent a gateway to the mysteries of breaking through the two bridges of heaven and earth.

The remaining two manifested a five-colored halo, which is the second gate of the Five Elements Converging to the Origin.

Two Five Qi Returning to the Origin, three Heaven and Earth Two Bridges, thankfully none of the Primordial Qi, or the Gate of Life and Death...

Can hit!
But in doing so, we'll have to reveal all our cards today.

However, due to the intense battle earlier, he forgot that he had stored dozens of bottles of "Qi-replenishing pills" and "Zhou Tian Qi-restoring pills" in his storage bag. These were pills for restoring true qi in the Dao Realm and Yellow Court Realm.

The truth is that previous battles were all resolved in a few moves, and I had never used this method before, so I hadn't developed the habit of taking pills to replenish my energy.

Fortunately, he killed enough cultivators, and after picking and choosing the pills he seized, he kept only the best ones, about a hundred or two hundred bottles, which was enough for his needs.

At this moment, the venerable Tongxuan Patriarch loudly rebuked:

"Liu Sheng, what else do you have to say?"

"I'm telling you your whole family is blessed with good fortune!"

Liu Sheng cursed under his breath, then flashed away and charged out.
