Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 201
Someone at the doorway shouted. The entire manor turned silent all of a sudden. The sound of music and even the wind seemed to have frozen. That demon… had finally arrived!
Everyone's heartbeat sped up. Those sitting couldn't help but stand up. No matter how much authority they had, no matter how many assets they had, no matter how senior they were, all of them stood up and looked towards the entrance.
Cheng Lingsu's mind was abuzz as well. She had a bad feeling. Crown Prince is plotting to handle you, and you actually walked right into it? What are you thinking? She wanted to shout loudly and warn Jiang Xiu so that he could escape, but she didn't do it in the end and merely gazed at the entrance nervously.
The stream of people entering through the doorway parted to the sides as a figure walked in. The vast, pitch-black night sky lied behind him. It seemed as if he was melting together with the sky. The night seemed to encroach the land along with each of his step. Everyone's breath turned rushed as they found it difficult to breathe. The person's figure became clearer when he entered the area, and everyone stopped breathing for a moment.
There was no sound at all. It became deathly silent.
Jiang Luoxia had arrived!
This man had half of Jiangnan under him. The Tang family and the Jin family who had offended him were eradicated, their entire families put to death, not even a single one was left alive. None of the formidable characters which appeared in Jiangnan in the past were so awful.
This man caused everyone to panic.
"M-Mr. Jiang…"
The entire West Lake Manor was on alert as if they were facing a huge enemy.
This consisted of Crown Prince Ao, the Ji family, the Dong family, the Li family, comprising all the wealthy businessmen, and the other elite families who had long ago formed a powerful alliance. The power this group held was enough to turn over Jiangnan completely. The civil and military power they held was enough to match up to a medium-sized country in Southeast Asia.
These members were the framework of Jiangnan's future over the next decade.
All the big powers of Jiangnan didn't dare to resist due to the backing Crown Prince possessed. Almost all of Jiangnan had paid allegiance to him except for a few families who still supported Jiang Luoxia. The difference was too apparent. If it weren't so, why wouldn't Jiang Luoxia appear for three days?
"Crown Prince Ao has already risen to power!"
An old man standing at a distance sighed deeply.
"If Mr. Jiang had appeared on the first day and made a counterattack, the experts of Jiangnan wouldn't have taken Crown Prince Ao's side. But because Mr. Jiang didn't appear, they believed he was scared of fighting, and Crown Prince Ao used this opportunity to suppress Jiangnan."
"We can't blame Mr. Jiang as well since Ji Wudao's prestige is well-established."
"It's too late now."
Actually, everyone didn't revere Demigods that much as in the modern times, wars were something of the past. Almost everyone had forgotten what's called a massacre. Only when Mr. Jiang appeared did they realized what a Demigod signified. They believed Mr. Jiang was afraid of Ji Wudao and there was even the colossal Imperial City's Jiang family to consider as well.
"Jiang Luoxia is still young in the end. One careless move is enough to lose the game. Since he had endured it till now, he should've kept enduring…"
Li Chengfeng saw Jiang Xiu come over and said, "You…"
Before he could finish, Jiang Xiu's gaze swept across him. He suddenly raised his hand. The air seemed to twist under the lighting as a ripple of energy traveled across the sky. By the time everyone understood what happened, they were already crying out in fear.
Puchi!
Li Chengfeng's head got chopped off.
"H-He murdered him?"
The officials of Jiangnan were stunned. All of them cried out in fear as if the party had suffered a terrorist attack.
"CHENGFENG! CHENGFENG"
Li Muteng screamed, losing control of his emotions after seeing his son die so tragically. He gazed at Jiang Xiu with shock and hate.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Xiu didn't even glance at him and just moved his hand. Li Muteng was cut into pieces as if he were a block of wood put into the dicing machine, getting killed at the scene.
"OH MY GOD!"
Everyone was utterly shocked!
The Li father and son pair were the 2nd most significant pieces of Crown Prince Ao at Jiangnan, yet they were slaughtered like chickens. Crown Prince Ao had already risen in power and suppressed Jiangnan, yet Jiang Luoxia still dared to provoke him by murdering right in front on him.
Does he want to use brute force to solve this?
Crown Prince Ao remained calm after seeing this. It's just that an ominous glint similar to electric sparks flashed inside his eyes.
"You're quite brave!"One of the Ji family's member couldn't restrain his anger, "You dare to kill people from the Li family in front of Crown Prince Ao? What do you take our Ji family for? Do you think we don't dare to kill people?"
The entire West Lake Manor turned silent.
"Brother Chong, bring him over."
All the young masters and ladies stood there, trembling in fear, fearing they, the ordinary people, would become casualties in this fight between immortals.
"Okay!"
Ji Chong walked over towards Jiang Xiu.
"Please come over, Jiang Luoxia!"
Ji Chong made a gesture, indicating Jiang Xiu can pass. This was a clever trick by Jiang Ao to undermine Jiang Luoxia's position and a commonly seen trick. When two leaders meet each other, the difference in who went over to meet and who waited for the person revealed a lot. The one with the upper hand waited for the other person. Ji Chong's actions clearly indicated that Jiang Ao's identity held the upper hand.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Xiu sneered. In a face-off against a real expert, only power mattered. All these dirty tricks were psychological warfare played in politics. He didn't care about it at all.
He walked at his own pace as if he were strolling in his own backyard.
Descend, the nine mythical arts, cleanse the heavens, a thousand years of karma, an artless heart yet romantic. A real expert killed formlessly while chatting, coming and going as one wished in a free, unconstrained manner. Such was the aura exuded by the Demigod ranked as No. 11 of the Demigod Ranking, Jiang Luoxia!
Two old men who stood far away exclaimed in admiration!
It was indeed extraordinary!
Everyone watched Jiang Luoxia with rapt attention.
"Since Jiang Luoxia has arrived, it'll be hard for Ji Yicong and Crown Prince Ao to withstand him unless Ji Wudao shows up."
The old man wore a look of wisdom.
Only those who belonged to his category knew the true meaning of the word, Demigod, and knew how awful Jiang Xiu truly was. It wasn't possible to resist a Demigod rampaging in this world just by relying on family background.
"You're Jiang Luoxia?"
Ji Yicong could feel Jiang Xiu's power, he was definitely an absolute expert. The breath on Jiang Xiu's body vaguely reminded him of his ancestor. When he listened carefully, he could even sense Jiang Xiu's inner breath rumble like thunder.
"This question would've been fine if it was Ji Wudao asking it. You aren't qualified to ask it!" On that day, Jiang Xiu had returned to the Wang family's old residence, which was now the Jiang Mansion, and decided to cultivate as the environment there was quite suitable. He had spent three days cultivating there when he got a call from Lin Shu from his high school. He told him that Cheng Lingsu got captured by Crown Prince Ao. The reason he had come here wasn't that he cared about Cheng Lingsu's life or death, but rather because he wouldn't be able to account it to his mother.
The reason Ji Yicong could sense Jiang Xiu's inner breath was that he was cultivating. If it were during an ordinary situation, it wouldn't have been easy to detect it.
"Audacious!"
Ji Yicong continued, "You believe you're qualified to…"
Jiang Xiu waved his hand before Ji Yicong finished speaking, releasing a bright energy pulse towards him. It traveled a distance of a few meters in the blink of an eye.
Ji Yicong's expression changed immediately. He planned to use his cultivation to block it. He was an outstanding talent of the Ji family, an expert of the Supreme Stage and only a step away from the Demigod Stage, but he never expected that just a casual wave from Jiang Xiu would be so powerful.
He only saw the white light flash across his eyes after which everything went dark. His consciousness had already disappeared. Just like the Li father and son pair, he too got beheaded.
The members of the Ji family were no different from ordinary people to Mr. Jiang.
"Who do you think you are? Even if Ji Wudao stood in front of this Deity, he wouldn't dare to speak like that to me."
"Uncle Co…" Jiang Ao, who believed victory was in his grasp, felt his voice get jammed in his throat. He couldn't remain calm anymore and stood up. His eyes became red and cheeks twitched as he saw his future uncle, Ji Yicong's dead body on the ground.
As for Jiang Xiu, he had already walked past him and took a seat with jazz.
Crown Prince Ao was standing right now and Jiang Xiu sitting. The positions had interchanged.
All the high-up attitude Crown Prince Ao had built up just now had collapsed with only a single hit from Jiang Xiu. Not even trace of it remained. There was even a trace of powerlessness on his face right now.
All the family heads of the influential families of Jiangnan, the elders, the young masters, the young ladies, kept quiet out of fear and bowed their head one after another, not daring to utter a word.
Mr. Jiang was too terrifying!
He had killed 3 people so casually. This made them panic.
"V-Very good."
Crown Prince Ao trembled all over.
