After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

Today, Tianxiazhen is very deserted.

It lacks the bustling and prosperous atmosphere of before.

After Gu Xin got off the bus, he saw Tianxiazhen's condition.

The gates remained open, but the welcoming staff were gone, replaced by a group of cold-looking warriors.

This team guards the gate of Tianxiazhen, and every warrior has a cold and stern expression, showing no emotion.

As a result, the atmosphere in front of Tianxia Zhenmen was quite somber.

The people passing by on the street were all trembling with fear, not daring to look directly at them or linger.

The footsteps of those coming and going were all hurried, almost running.

Without a doubt, the world's most precious treasures are now monopolized by the four major clans.

Gu Xin followed Yang Wei to the front of Tianxia Zhenmen, where they were stopped by this group.

Up close, Gu Xin's gaze was intense as he scrutinized all the warriors in the group.

He then raised an eyebrow, unable to contain his surprise.

Because all the warriors in this team actually had the cultivation level of the Blood Strengthening Realm.

Although they were only at the early stage of the Blood Strengthening Realm, the sheer number of a dozen or so was still quite alarming.

The presence of a Blood Might Realm warrior guarding the gate speaks volumes about the strength and resources of the four major clans.

While Gu Xin was secretly surprised, Yang Wei glanced at the group of warriors indifferently.

His emotionless gaze, sharp and piercing, immediately sent chills down the spines of the warriors.

The samurai who had reached out to stop him quickly lowered his arm, took two steps back, and made way for him.

Throughout the entire process, Yang Wei did not emit the slightest aura.

A single glance was enough for them to know that this was a martial arts master.

Today's Tianxia Zhen is a door opened to the martial arts masters of Qingyuan County.

Yang Wei went straight inside, with Gu Xin following behind.

The master and apprentice walked with ease, showing no fear.

Upon entering the main gate of Tianxiazhen, one can see that a large number of people have already gathered in the hall.

These people were all sitting around a large, pieced-together square table.

The square table was covered with red silk, and fruits and tea were placed on it.

Those who arrived early took their seats and chatted with acquaintances.

But the sounds were very faint, clearly being deliberately suppressed.

When Gu Xin and his apprentice entered, they attracted the instinctive sidelong glances of those who had arrived earlier.

The master and apprentice glanced at each other casually and didn't recognize anyone.

Then, without saying a word, he walked to the table and found a seat on the side.

Gu Xin's gaze swept around the table, taking in the faces of all these people.

At the same time, with the help of the cheat system, he could see through the cultivation levels of these people.

Almost all of these people were at the late stage of the Blood Strengthening Realm.

There are only two at the peak of the Bloodline Realm, and one that is beyond comprehension.

"Ma Biao of the Biao Ma Martial Arts School greets Master Yang!"

Just as Gu Xin was observing, the old man among the crowd, whose cultivation level was unfathomable, stood up and greeted Yang Wei with a fist and palm salute.

Although he was called an old man, he actually looked to be only in his fifties, with a lean figure and a gaunt face.

He had a long beard and wore a headscarf.

He greeted us with a warm smile and clasped hands, looking very approachable, like a respected elder from next door.

really!

This is the owner of the Biao Ma Martial Arts School.

Gu Xin was not surprised. At present, his golden finger could not see through the foundation of cultivation, and the only ones qualified to sit here were experts in the Qi Creation Realm.

There are only so many Qi-Creating Realm experts in Qingyuan County. By eliminating them one by one, Gu Xin could easily guess the other party's identity.

"So it's Master Ma! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Yang Wei clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, responding casually.

He wasn't familiar with Ma Biao, so his response was rather stiff.

"So he's Master Yang of Zhenwei Martial Arts School?"

"No wonder he has such an extraordinary temperament, unlike ordinary people."

"Truly, appearances can be deceiving; he actually managed to train a disciple who defeated the Zhou family's martial arts school."

As Ma Biao revealed Yang Wei's identity, the people sitting around him suddenly realized what was going on.

All eyes turned to Yang Wei and Gu Xin.

Some were curious, some were surprised, some were envious, and some were politely bowing.

In an instant, the master and apprentice became the focus of attention.

Gu Xin felt somewhat uncomfortable being scrutinized by so many people.

Having lived two lives, he rarely experienced such a scene.

The sudden intrusion was bound to be awkward.

Moreover, everyone present was over forty years old, except for him, who was very young.

In such a setting, one would inevitably stand out from the crowd, feeling out of place.

Gu Xin looked at Yang Wei, only to find that Yang Wei was calm and composed, showing no signs of discomfort.

Instead, he leisurely picked up two fruits, handed one to Gu Xin, and started eating it.

"Master Yang, what are your thoughts on this banquet?"

While Gu Xin hesitated about whether to eat, Ma Biao across from him spoke again, smiling as he asked his master, Yang Wei.

Yang Wei took a bite of the fruit and then gestured, "Eat while you watch."

"..."

Ma Biao's smile froze for a moment; he hadn't expected such a response.

His intention was to provoke Yang Wei's emotions, hoping that Yang Wei would lead his team to express their stance when the four major clans arrived.

Both were martial arts school owners and had received invitations from the Zhou family martial arts school.

Ma Biao had undoubtedly seen through the intentions of the four major clans long ago.

Deep down, he clearly didn't want to comply.

However, he lacked confidence and had reservations, so he dared not step forward rashly.

So they thought of elevating Yang Wei and having him stand up for them.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wei completely ignored the joke and defused his scheme with a joking tone.

He's smart, but the others aren't stupid either.

Ma Biao was in a dilemma; he didn't know whether to smile or not.

"Master Ma, have a taste! It's delicious!"

Yang Wei picked up a piece of fruit and threw it directly to Ma Biao.

Thank you!

Ma Biao took it casually, thanked him, and sat back down.

Gu Xin glanced at the two of them and sensed that something was wrong.

But he remained silent, quietly munching on his fruit and waiting for the main character to arrive.

Today's main focus is clearly on the four major clans.

The wait didn't last long; after about half a cup of tea's time, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside Tianxiazhen.

A moment later, a cacophony of footsteps came from outside, and figures entered Tianxiazhen.

Gu Xin looked up and recognized the group of people leading the way.

The four wealthy gentlemen, Hu, Qian, Sun, and Tao, walked side by side in the middle.

On either side of the four men were Zhou Feng and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a majestic air.

Gu Xin glanced at the man; he was unfamiliar and rarely seen.

But he didn't need to ask any questions to guess the other party's identity.

Tang Yuan, leader of the Qinglin Gang.

Only those at the Qi Creation Realm are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with the powerful lords of the four great clans.

Those who are Qi Creation Realm experts, but whose status and position are slightly inferior to the four major clans, are even fewer in number.

"Quite a show of force."

As Gu Xin was sizing him up, Yang Wei's pursed lips rang out beside him.

"yes……"

Gu Xin nodded in agreement.

The six experts at the Qi Creation Realm make up nearly half of the total in Qingyuan County.

Without a doubt, today's banquet was not very tasty.

Gu Xin glanced around discreetly and saw that the people who had been whispering and exchanging words had all stopped talking, stood up, and looked at the four major clans that were walking towards them with restraint.

The atmosphere, which was originally somewhat relaxed, visibly became tense.
