Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 714 - Endure Humiliation to Survive

Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Endure Humiliation to Survive? Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Endure Humiliation to Survive? “I’ve never seen Uncle Gui Hai this anxious before,”

“Could something big have happened?”

“What big thing could possibly happen?”

Gui Hai had only been inside for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when the door was pushed open once again. Gui Hai came out and said to the little monks who were quietly discussing below, “The abbot has ordered that all Yuan Ling Elders come to discuss important matters as soon as possible.”

The disciples realized that something big might indeed have happened, and without hesitation or delay, they responded affirmatively and turned to find the Elders.

At the same time, a very similar scene was happening at the Luo Family in Anyang.

In the Council Hall of the Luo Family, all the Elders were present. Clan Leader Luo Xiong had a grave expression, with a flicker of anger in his eyes.

“Li Xiaoyao is still alive!” Luo Xiong apparently had to muster a lot of effort just to get those words out.

...

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Elders below were surprised, but that was all.

“Tough life, he just won’t die.”

“Hehe, it’s good that he’s alive. The humiliation our Luo Family suffered in the Human Realm, we want him to pay it back.”

Luo Xiong gently tapped his finger on the table and said, “It’s said that after Li Xiaoyao came out, he cleaved open the Spirit of Vegetation and took the treasures within.”

“What? The Spirit of Vegetation had treasures inside?”

“Clan Leader, I suggest we go to the Li Family immediately. If we’re too slow, we might get beaten to it by other Sects.”

Luo Xiong ignored them and continued, “A few days ago, Elder Huang Yi of the Rakshasa Sect took people to the Li Family, intending to kill and seize the treasures.”

“Damn it, the Rakshasa Sect is moving so quickly!”

“It’s because we received the news too late. As expected of an Ancient Sect, their information network is really efficient.”

Some regretted that once the Ancient Sect made a move, they could forget about getting any benefits. Not to speak of getting a share, they wouldn’t even leave the leftovers for them.

“Huang Yi was killed, and Li Chengfeng and Li Yunchen made a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.” As Luo Xiong spoke this sentence, the Council Hall suddenly became quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, someone’s voice trembled as they said, “Clan Leader… are you saying Huang Yi is dead?”

“Who would have thought? The Li Family has produced two Nascent Soul Realm Venerables. Huang Yi was just unlucky to have encountered them.” Inside, several people were filled with regret and envy. This Li Family, silently, had gained two more Nascent Soul Realm Venerables. In comparison, their Luo Family instantly seemed inferior.

Luo Xiong raised his eyes slightly, still with that indifferent tone, “The one who killed Huang Yi was Li Xiaoyao.”

“Whoa!”

A murmur of astonishment swept through them, disbelief written all over their faces.

“Impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible!”

“Li Xiaoyao, at best, has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm. How could he possibly kill Huang Yi!”

“That Huang Yi was at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm, extremely powerful, and when casting spells, even an average Nascent Soul Realm Venerable would have to avoid his edge.”

Luo Xiong let out a bitter laugh. When he first heard this news, he had the same reaction they did.

He too had doubts. After all, the news of Huang Yi’s death was deliberately released by the Li Family. Who actually killed Huang Yi was known only to the Li Family.

In other words, the Li Family might very well have purposely released this news to confuse the outside world.

However, when Luo Xiong learned of another incident, he no longer had any doubts about Li Xiaoyao’s strength. Instead, he was filled with fear towards the entire Li Family.

“This morning, Ling Tian’s Dantian was destroyed. He has become disabled,” Luo Xiong suddenly exhaled, and his aura faded somewhat.

“What, Ling Tian has been crippled!”

“Could it be that he fell victim to hostile Spirit Attachers from abroad during battle?”

“What a pity, a Nascent Soul Realm Venerable at the age of forty-eight, this is a heavy loss for our Xuan Country.”

Luo Xiong shook his head and said, “This morning, in Jindu’s training base, Ling Tian fought a great battle with Li Xiaoyao, and afterward, he was crippled by a single finger strike from Li Xiaoyao!”

Silence!

Not a whisper could be heard in the Council Hall.

What had they just heard?

Ling Tian, was he incapacitated by Li Xiaoyao?

What was Li Xiaoyao’s Cultivation Level? How old was he?

How could he possibly do something like this?

This is impossible!

…

In Da Lin Temple, in the abbot’s room, compared to the Luo Family’s shock and disbelief, these Elders seemed much more composed.

“If I’m not mistaken, Ling Tian was at the first rank of the Nascent Soul Realm,” remarked Monk Yuan Li, who had a gourd and a longsword tied to his waist, speaking softly.

“Hmm,” Gui Hai nodded and said, “I had a friendly match with him fifteen years ago, back then he had already reached the Seventh Rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm, and ten years ago, he made a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm. Ten years have passed since then, he must have reached the first rank of the Nascent Soul Realm. He truly was a genius.”

Yuan Wu held a string of beads in his hand, gently turning them as he said, “The Li Family has produced a dragon.”

Yuan Xin chuckled, an ambiguous expression flickering across his aged face, “The Li Family just got lucky, Li Xiaoyao just happened to be born into the Li family.”

The group fell silent, fully aware of what Yuan Xin meant with his words.

Others might not understand Li Xiaoyao’s origins, but they did.

The paintings and calligraphies that hung on the walls of that small room inside Treasure Pavilion, had recorded Li Xiaoyao’s extraordinary birth.

Even if they knew only a fraction, that fraction was enough.

At the very least, they knew Li Xiaoyao was no ordinary person.

Originally, they had planned to capture Li Xiaoyao and study him thoroughly, but now they could only put a hold on this scheme.

The silent abbot finally spoke, “Starting today, there must be no conflict with the Li Family. Gui Hai, pay close attention to the Li Family. The moment Li Xiaoyao returns, notify me immediately; I will personally pay a visit.”

“Eh~”

The Elders, although accepting the miracles surrounding Li Xiaoyao, still felt a certain reluctance to demean themselves for the sake of appeasing Da Lin Temple because of one individual.

…

The Long Family received the news somewhat late. The six Elders and the Clan Leader, Long Zaitian, were now gathered together, worry etched onto each of their faces.

“Even Ling Tian was no match for him, not to mention now that the Li Family has two Nascent Soul Realm Venerables. Our Long Family, even if we join forces with Hehuan Sect and the Luo Family, may not necessarily be a match for the Li Family.”

“Li Xiaoyao is someone who holds grudges and acts upon them. We’ve captured people from the Xuan Sect, and if he gets wind of it, he’ll likely rush over immediately. At that time, our Long Family will undoubtedly be in utter chaos.”

“Indeed,” the others said, sighing as they listened to the logical and clear analysis.

“Then… is there any good solution?” asked one of the Elders.

Upon hearing this, the rest felt a stir of irritation in their hearts.

Since when did the Long Family, one of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, have to bow their heads and search for ways to protect themselves against a young upstart?

If this were to get out, would the Long Family still have any face left?
