The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

The City Lord's Mansion has invited strong men from the five major families this time. If the Liu family fails to cope with the situation properly, they will probably be unable to move forward in Beicang City.

"Jiuyou, are you going to attend the banquet this time?" Liu Bai turned to look at the girl who was sitting lazily next to him and asked.

"Not interested." Jiuyou curled his lips and said bluntly.

"Oh, really? I heard that there will be a lot of delicious food at this banquet." Liu Bai continued with a smile and a seductive tone.

Jiuyou rolled his eyes at him when he heard that.

"Do you still think I'm a child? You're using this excuse to fool me... You want me to calm things down for you? If so, just tell me. How can I know what you're thinking if you don't tell me? If you tell me, I'll know..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Big sister, please stop reciting. How come I didn't know that you still have the potential to become Tang Monk, or have you awakened the instinct of the sparrow clan?"

"Who is Tang Monk? And who are you calling a sparrow? We are the Nine Nether Sparrows, and now I am the Nine Nether Sparrow, a top-level divine beast!"

Looking at the girl's straight long legs that had been stretched out, as if she was going to kick him, Liu Bai quickly dodged.

Tsk tsk, if she couldn't defeat him, Liu Bai would have grabbed that long leg and rubbed off a layer of skin on her!

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble. You're going with me today, and you just need to eat. If anything really happens, just look after my dad and the others."

Looking for Jiuyou is just to be on the safe side.

Although Liu Bai also believed that as long as those guys were not stupid, they would not dare to really tear their faces apart, but he was not prepared to show weakness, so in order to prevent the other party from doing something desperate, he still had to make more preparations.

There is no need to worry about the Spiritual Academy intervening in such matters. As they are all forces affiliated with the Beicang Spiritual Academy, it is not uncommon for them to fight with each other, and the academy will never interfere in such matters.

The law of the jungle is the rule of this world. When facing foreign enemies, everyone will naturally share the same hatred and follow the strong to charge into battle.

But if it is an internal conflict, then of course you have to solve it yourself.

When it was night, Liu Bai took Jiuyou, Liu Jingshan and Liu Qingtian to the City Lord's Mansion.

At the same time, many forces in Beicang City, including the five major families, also began to go out.

No one dared to neglect the invitation from the City Lord's Mansion. In addition to the factor of the academy, the strength of Ding Qian, the Lord of Beicang City, was also an important reason.

As far as Liu Bai knew, Ding Qian had already passed the first level of the soul difficulty, and his strength was among the best in the entire Beicang Continent, only second to the Supreme.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Qingtian seemed a little restrained. Even Liu Jingshan looked a little nervous despite his expressionless face.

There was no way. The people in charge of welcoming guests in the City Lord's Mansion were not ordinary people. There were even cultivators in the Rongtian Realm. Although it showed their respect for the guests, it also made the Liu family father and son feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Liu Bai was there, and these people's main target was also on Liu Bai, so Liu Qingtian and his son were able to adapt slowly.

As for Jiuyou, there was no need to worry. There was no one in the entire banquet hall that she could take seriously, so she was just staring blankly out of boredom.

But it has to be said that a girl with such beauty as Jiuyou is the focus there. Not to mention the young people, even the older generation such as the heads of the five major families are attracted by Jiuyou's appearance and temperament. For a moment, she has become the most eye-catching focus of the entire banquet hall.

Obviously, Jiuyou had already gotten used to this, so he simply chose to ignore those glances and continued to immerse himself in his own world, entertaining himself.

Liu Bai couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene. It seemed that this kind of thing was indeed torture for Jiuyou. No wonder this girl was so resistant before.

Soon, as people gradually arrived, Ding Qian, the city lord, appeared and began to host the banquet.

In fact, this kind of banquet is really boring. Apart from eating, drinking and enjoying singing and dancing, the real highlight is the time after dinner.

"Haha, everyone is welcome to attend this banquet. I would like to offer a toast to everyone!"

Ding Qian raised his glass, saluted everyone present from afar, and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency City Lord, you are too kind. It is our honor to be invited here. We would like to toast you!" said an old man in purple robe, raising his glass with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we toast to the Lord City Lord!"

"Respectfully, Lord City Lord!"

"..."

After the old man finished speaking, everyone quickly agreed, and Liu Bai and others also raised their glasses with everyone.

Perhaps Jiuyou was the only one indifferent in the whole place, still staring at the food in front of him with great interest.

Everyone pretended not to notice this.

Which of these old foxes present could not see that the incredibly beautiful woman in front of them was definitely not an ordinary person? When they faced this woman, they only felt like they were facing a volcano that could erupt at any time, as if a random move from the other party could bring doomsday to them.

After finishing this last glass of wine, it's time to get down to business.

Ding Qian glanced around the entire room, finally stopping at the three people from the Liu family.

"This banquet has another purpose, that is, we have new members joining Beicang City, so this is a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other."

"Master Liu, please stand up and get to know everyone."

Hearing this, Liu Qingtian, who had already prepared himself mentally, stood up and said in a calm and composed voice: "I am Liu Qingtian, the Patriarch of the Liu Family. I am honored to join the Northern Cang City and become your neighbor. Please take good care of me."

"Haha, Patriarch Liu, you are too kind. I think the Liu family now has the power of the number one family in Northern Cang City. Patriarch Liu should take care of us more in the future."

A voice with a strange smile suddenly spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Liu Qingtian was shocked, but after learning about the major forces in Beicang City from Liu Bai, he quickly recognized the person who was speaking.

Although there was obvious malice in the other party's words, Liu Qingtian did not want to fall out with these people on the first day, so he chose to swallow his anger for the time being.

"Master Wu, you are too polite. My Liu family is new here, so how can we be called the first family?"

"We have just arrived and have been able to occupy one tenth of Bei Cang City. Doesn't that mean that in a few years, Bei Cang City will belong to the Liu clan?"

This sentence is very straightforward, without any concealment.

Liu Bai couldn't help but frown. Which fool would come out and say such a thing at this time? Even if he looked down on the Liu family, there was still the city lord Ding Qian above them. Aren't they afraid of causing trouble by their words?

Following the direction of the voice, I saw that the person speaking was still among the Wu family's crowd, and the person speaking was a young man in his twenties.

No wonder, probably only this kind of idiot with no experience in dealing with things would be so outspoken... Moreover, this young man is very arrogant, but what is the basis for your arrogance?

"This man is called Wu Miao, and he is the third son of Wu Tong, the head of the Wu family. Wu Xin, the eldest son of the Wu family, was once a monstrous student in the Spirit Academy. He graduated and left the Northern Cang Continent six years ago. It is said that the Wu family received news from Wu Xin some time ago. It is said that he has broken through the Supreme Realm and joined a sect that is not weaker than the Northern Cang Spirit Academy. He is highly regarded..."

Ding Qian's voice rang in Liu Bai's ears, making the latter understand why the Wu family was so blatant.

"Do you have the support of a supreme being?"

If Liu Bai was just an ordinary genius, he might not dare to conflict with the other party.

After all, in the small piece of land of Northern Cang Continent, the Supreme Power is still very intimidating...

Unfortunately, this time they met themselves.

The Supreme Power, he now has...

"Beicang City will always be Beicang City. It will not be named Liu, nor will it be named any other name." Liu Bai said in a low and slow voice.

Hearing the voice, Wu Miao looked over and met Liu Bai's cold eyes. Faintly, Wu Miao seemed to see a flash of golden lightning in the depths of the other's eyes. Then he felt his mind go blank and he fell towards the table.

"Miao'er?!"

Wu Tong, who was standing next to him, was startled and quickly waved his hand to release a spiritual power, which directly held Wu Miao back. This prevented him from falling into the soup and making a fool of himself.

Wu Miao quickly woke up, feeling his body being pulled by his father's spiritual power, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Dad, what are you doing?"

Wu Tong looked a little unhappy. Looking at his silly son, he couldn't help but ask, "You don't remember what happened just now?"

"Just now? What happened just now?"

Hearing his son's answer, Wu Tong immediately turned around and glared at Liu Bai.

Although I don't know what means this guy used just now, it is definitely that he did something to his son, and he may even have directly used some means on his son's soul!

"Liu Bai! What did you just do to my son?" Wu Tong stood up and questioned Liu Bai.

Looking at him, it seems like he's going to start a fight if he disagrees with something.

"What? What did I do? Please tell me frankly, Master Wu." Liu Bai said with a faint smile. "I am so far away from your son, how could I do anything to him? In front of everyone, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."

"You...!!" Wu Tong's heart sank and his face turned red.

There was no way. He really didn't notice what Liu Bai was doing. With so many people present, if Liu Bai took action, it would be impossible to hide it from everyone's eyes!

Chapter 128 Return to the hospital

Seeing that the Wu family actually took the initiative to provoke Liu Bai, the other families immediately chose to stand by and watch.

Even the city lord Ding Qian chose to watch from the sidelines. He knew very well that if the Liu family wanted to gain a foothold in Beicang City, they had to show enough strength, and today was the right occasion. Even if there was any conflict, as long as he was there, he could control everything to a certain extent, and at least it would not develop to an unmanageable level.

At this time, the Liu family is like Ip Man who is about to open a martial arts school. Whether they can open their own martial arts school depends on whether Liu Bai can also “beat ten people” like Ip Man.

"Liu Bai, right? You have such powerful strength at such a young age. You are indeed worthy of being the number one person in Beicang Spiritual Academy." An old voice sounded from the crowd of Wu family members.

"If I am not shortsighted, Brother Liu Bai has already overcome the physical difficulties, right? With your strength, attacking my grandson, isn't it a bit of bullying?"

The crowd dispersed and a figure in a black robe walked out.

"Hey, that's Wu Yong, the ancestor of the Wu family. He's here too, but why did he hide before? It seems that the Wu family has been prepared for this."

In the direction of the Lin family, Lin Tang seemed to be talking to himself.

But his voice happened to be heard by several people from the Liu family nearby.

Liu Bai raised his eyebrows. He didn't care too much about this Wu family ancestor Wu Yong. After all, the other party was not a wise man. Jiu You had already found those old guys in the dark when he first arrived, but he just didn't make it public.

Even the strong man from the Lin family was also among the Lin family’s group. However, what Liu Bai didn’t expect was that Lin Tang would deliberately remind him.

Liu Bai turned his attention back to the Wu family. Looking at the old man named Wu Yong, he said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, your grandson is a few years older than me. Are you sure he's still young?"

Wu Yong frowned, feeling a little angry at Liu Bai for deliberately misinterpreting his meaning.

"I am in no mood to argue with you. I will not pursue the matter of you attacking my grandson just now. But it is impossible for your Liu family to occupy one-tenth of Beicang City. If you are sensible, you should give some to other families in the city so that everyone can live in peace. Otherwise, your Liu family may not be able to live in Beicang City for long..."

"The regional division was stated by Dean Beicang himself. Do you dare to disobey him?" Liu Bai looked at the other party calmly and said indifferently.

"Haha, of course we don't dare. But you don't seem to know that the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy will not interfere in the fights between the forces we are affiliated with. Even if one side destroys the other, it is not a big deal for the Spiritual Academy."

"Although Dean Bei Cang promised your Liu family one-tenth of Bei Cang City, whether you can take control of these places in the future depends entirely on your Liu family's own ability."

"It's just like a domesticated beast. The owner will allocate some food to each beast, but when the owner leaves, the owner doesn't care which beast eats the food..."

Liu Bai rolled his eyes speechlessly. You old man really are good at using metaphors. You directly compare yourself to a beast. But we are not beasts, okay?

Of course, the truth is not as serious as this old man said. If Beicang Spiritual Academy really allows these forces to fight to the death, then why let them stay in Beicang City and bring trouble to themselves?

Although there were conflicts among various forces in Beicang City, most of them were small-scale fights and did not reach the level of genocide. As the city lord, Ding Qian would directly take action to stop them.

The reason why Wu Yong said this was because he took advantage of the Liu family's lack of knowledge of the specific situation in Beicang City and deliberately threatened them. If the Liu family really couldn't withstand the coercion and chose to give in, wouldn't they have made a profit?

After all, this group of people still did not take the Liu family seriously, or rather, they did not take Liu Bai seriously.

The truth is that the latter is too young. Even if he is a real genius, no matter how strong he is, it does not mean that he has a strong character or strong experience in dealing with things. This group of old foxes are confident that they can force this little guy to submit.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated one thing, that is, Liu Bai is not someone who is easily scared. Or in his heart, he knows the final ending of this world, so what else can scare him...

"So that's how it is..." Liu Bai glanced at Wu Yong calmly. "If that's the case, then everything depends on strength?"

"Then what qualifications do you have to yell in front of me, old man!"

Liu Bai's voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears like a thunder.

As the ones who received his special attention, many powerful men of the Wu family who had reached the Tongtian realm felt as if their heads were about to explode under the shocking thunder and fell to the ground in pain.

As for Wu Miao, he is only at the half-step Rongtian realm now, and his cultivation is inferior to that of many freshmen in other academies. Under such thundering sound, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

"You are presumptuous!"

Seeing that Liu Bai dared to attack the Wu family directly, the head of the Wu family, Wu Tong, became instantly furious. The violent spiritual power around him poured into his palms frantically, and then he slapped towards Liu Bai.

hum!

A beam of spiritual light as thick as a wrist suddenly rushed out and exploded towards Liu Bai's chest.

Fortunately, he had not forgotten that he was now in the City Lord's Mansion, so even though he attacked in anger, this palm strike did not cause too much noise, ensuring that it would not affect other people around him.

Liu Bai curled his lips and had no intention of dodging or blocking the attack coming towards him.

The beam of light hit Liu Bai's chest hard, making a dull sound. The rampant spiritual power turned into a strong wind, forcing everyone around to raise their hands to block it.

"Bai'er!"

Liu Jingshan and Liu Qingtian were both shocked. They didn't expect Liu Bai to not fight back...

When the spiritual power storm ended, the Liu family father and son saw the figure standing there motionless. When they touched their foreheads, they found that they were already covered in cold sweat.

After brushing off the non-existent dust on his body, he looked down at his clothes on his chest, which had no trace at all, and nodded with satisfaction. As his cultivation level improved, the defensive power of the Five Elements Divine Light was further enhanced, and it could even completely defend against a blow from the late stage of the Heaven Realm without leaving any trace.

Moreover, Liu Bai found that he had become more adept at using the Five Elements Divine Light. He could even condense divine light of different sizes to defend different positions. Just like he had just condensed the divine light into a heart-protecting mirror, which directly blocked the beam of light.
