Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 735 - Ambush on the Way【Fifth Update】
Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Ambush on the Way【Fifth Update】 Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Ambush on the Way【Fifth Update】 The Sect founding ceremony concluded perfectly, and all disciples who had joined the Xiaoyao Sect remained in the botanical garden, which was being constructed according to Li Xiaoyao’s requests, with more houses and training grounds being built.
All of the buildings were designed in the style of the Tang Dynasty, antique and quaint, fitting Li Xiaoyao’s vision for the Xiaoyao Sect.
“I must return to the Li Family today, Elder Jiang Lichun will assist you in managing the Sect’s affairs.”
“Li Tu, take good care of matters here.”
“Jiuyin, contact me immediately if anything arises.”
“Ling’er, Brother Nangong, let’s go.”
Faced with the somewhat resentful gazes of the women, Li Xiaoyao was also reluctant to leave.
...
But he had to rush back immediately.
Li Chengfeng made numerous phone calls today, all urgently prompting him to return to the Li Family, and this anxious demeanor raised Li Xiaoyao’s suspicions. After persistent questioning, the reason was finally revealed.
People from the Ancient Li Family had arrived, specifically asking to see Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao could guess why the Ancient Li Family had come to the Li Family at this time; it was probably related to participating in the family competition.
“Hum~”
The Seven Star Ancient Sword grew against the wind and settled at Li Xiaoyao’s feet.
A few people boarded the sword, and Li Xiaoyao smiled at the women, then, stepping onto the Ancient Sword, he vanished into thin air.

…
“Big Brother Li, why are you in such a hurry to go back?” Ling’er, with her clever mind, sensed that something was amiss.
Li Xiaoyao casually said, “I’ve been away for too long.”
Nangong Xuan asked, “Could it be that the other Sects have attacked?”
“Attacked?” Li Xiaoyao looked at him quizzically and asked, “Why would they attack?”
Nangong Xuan said, “The news of your treasures from the Secret Realm has already spread far and wide, wasn’t the Rakshasa Sect the first to strike? I can’t believe that the other Sects wouldn’t be tempted.”
Li Xiaoyao laughed and said, “Well, they’d need to have the guts, and besides, my Li Family is not a soft egg that lets others oppress us without fighting back. Among the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, aside from Da Lin Temple, there isn’t a sect that could make my Li Family wary. Even if other ancient families come forth, the two Nascent Soul Realm Venerables of the Li Family are more than capable of handling them.”
Listening to Li Xiaoyao’s well-reasoned analysis, Nangong Xuan found himself without a rebuttal.
After all, the Li Family was truly strong now.
The Ancient Sword moved swiftly forward, and as they flew over a desolate area, Li Xiaoyao suddenly felt a strange sensation.
This feeling was indescribable, as if, as if someone was covertly watching them.
“Ambush!” Li Xiaoyao was startled internally, and a sense of danger surged in that moment. The Seven Star Ancient Sword swerved upwards in the air, and the Nangong siblings, caught off guard, nearly fell off the sword.
“Boom!”
An attack landed where the Ancient Sword had just been, exploding violently.
Seeing this scene, the Nangong siblings couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines.
If Li Xiaoyao had been even a fraction slower, they would have been killed at that moment.
And whoever could launch a surprise attack so stealthily, their cultivation level was likely no lower than the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Who could it be?
At the moment he controlled the Ancient Sword to multiply, Li Xiaoyao released his thoughts and instantly detected two figures.
Li Xiaoyao stepped out from the Ancient Sword, suspended mid-air, while he sent the Ancient Sword flying towards the distance.
The person they wanted to kill was him.
“Su San, come out, sneaking around is not the demeanor of a Nascent Soul Realm Venerable,” Li Xiaoyao said mildly, his face showing no annoyance.
“Hmm?” A slightly surprised voice sounded from somewhere, and Su San’s figure appeared in front of Li Xiaoyao like a ghost, his face smiling, but his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“How did you discover me?” Su San was very curious about this.
This Li Xiaoyao, whose cultivation level was lower than his, yet had such powerful soul sensing abilities.
Li Xiaoyao sneered with disdain, “Trash like you, emitting such stench, even hundreds of meters apart, I can smell it crystal clear.”
Su San’s face darkened, “I hope you can still talk to me in the same tone later.”
“Heh, thinking that finding a helper will allow you to take me down?” Li Xiaoyao shook his head regretfully and looked in another direction, “Birds of a feather flock together, indeed. A Nascent Soul Realm Venerable who likes to scurry around like a mouse, hiding here and there.”
A figure gradually emerged from the cracks of space, a man who appeared to be in his thirties, handsome and dashing in a green robe, with long hair flowing down his back. Judging solely by his appearance, he gave off the air of an elegant and refined scholar.
“Indeed, a sharp-tongued youngster,” the man said with a cold huff, “I hear you crippled Ling Tian?”
“Since you’ve heard, you still dare to provoke me?”
Su San said, “Shi Feng, no need to waste words with him, let’s join hands and kill him!”
“Shi Feng?” Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes; the name was familiar. The number one figure in Chachi City – Shi Feng!
“You know who I am?” Seeing Li Xiaoyao’s expression change, Shi Feng couldn’t help but laugh, “Since you know, you probably also know what your end will be today.”
Li Xiaoyao nodded seriously, “Yes, I’m very clear, you all will die.”
“Two Nascent Soul Realm Venerables joining hands, let alone a cultivator who hasn’t even reached the Nascent Soul Realm, even a Nascent Soul Realm Venerable, when facing us together, can only turn tail and run,” Shi Feng shook his head. Li Xiaoyao was simply too arrogant, daring to boast in front of the two of them.
About a thousand meters away, under a large tree, three young people were watching the scene with binoculars.
“Not good, Shi Feng and Su San are going to make a move on Li Xiaoyao!”
“Xiaorou, contact the Military Governor immediately.”
Wang Xiaorou pouted, and while dialling on her phone, said, “Isn’t that guy full of confidence? Just two Nascent Soul Realm Venerables, pfft, in the end, we from Department One still have to step in and save him. If you don’t have the strength, then don’t act so tough.”
The two young men beside her laughed wryly, “Alright, at a time like this, let’s not hold that against him. Li Xiaoyao is now a candidate for the Xuan Country’s Inspector, we can’t afford any trouble at this juncture.”
However, Wang Xiaorou retorted, “What do you call trouble? Our task is only to observe, to collect his information. What does it matter to us whether he lives or dies?”
The call connected, and Wang Xiaorou quieted down to relay the situation they had found.
After listening, the person on the other side was silent for a long while before responding, “Intervene, we must save him.”
“Military Governor, by doing this, aren’t we interfering too much?” Wang Xiaorou couldn’t understand. Their Department One’s task was only to collect information on the actions of each Inspector during this period, nothing more.
They had never encountered a situation where they needed to intervene before.
“Enough, no more talk, just do as you’re told.”
Wang Xiaorou reluctantly said, “Understood…”
“Boom!”
Before she could finish, battle energy that set hearts racing suddenly erupted in the distant sky.
