Chapter 789: Chapter 789 Beware of Li Zhan [4th Update] Chapter 789: Chapter 789 Beware of Li Zhan [4th Update] The elder intervened to mediate, and Wu Xuan was naturally happy to take this opportunity to back down, immediately snorting, “I’ll give Elder Yuan some face.”

However, Li Zhan seemed as if he hadn’t heard, with the energy in his palm growing stronger and his indifferent expression indicating he wouldn’t rest until Wu Xuan was taken down.

Wu Xuan felt uneasy under his gaze, and seeing this, the elder stepped forward and said, “Li Zhan, do you not even give face to this old man?”

“Normally, I wouldn’t say much to Elder Yuan’s words, but today, I’m afraid I cannot comply,” Li Zhan’s eyes glinted with an ever-increasing murderous intent, and he said, “He threatened the heir of the Li Family in public, how is our heir supposed to conduct himself outside after this? The Sect Master of a prestigious sect, yet threatening a junior of the Li Family, haha, talk about wanting face!”

Wu Xuan’s face turned the color of liver, immediately retorting, “He was disrespectful to me first, I…”

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Elder Yuan, “Enough, there’s no need for more words.”

Elder Yuan’s gaze swept over the two men’s faces and he said, “This old man has seen everything clearly, the rights and wrongs, the merits and faults. Wu Xuan, whether you have been hired by someone to act against Li Xiaoyao or not, I do not care, but I must intervene in this matter. As the Sect Leader of an ancient sect, it is indeed not honorable to act against a junior. You are in the wrong here.”

“Elder Yuan, I…”

“This old man only asks you, do you still wish to harm Li Xiaoyao?” Elder Yuan’s aged and profound eyes landed on him, his voice not loud, yet filled with authority.

Wu Xuan clenched his teeth, his breathing somewhat labored, and after a long while, he nodded, “I will not harm him any further.”

“Hmm,” Elder Yuan then turned to Li Zhan, “Li Zhan, are you satisfied?”

Li Zhan, somewhat reluctantly, shook his head, “Elder Yuan, you’re really… Well, never mind, you’ve looked after me so well, I would seem ungrateful if I persisted. However, I want to put my words out there today, if Wu Xuan dares to harm the heir of my Li Family in any way in the future, my Li Family will mobilize its entire force, and we will not rest until we have settled with the Sect.”

Li Zhan expressed his thoughts and determination, while Wu Xuan’s face darkened. Although Elder Yuan’s intervention prevented an all-out battle, it also resulted in a significant loss of face for him.

“Come on, let’s go, the food here is excellent; I’ve specially invited a chef from a Michelin three-star restaurant, and the ingredients are precious medicinal herbs and demon beasts, very savory, don’t miss out.” Elder Yuan patted them on the shoulders with a chuckle, then turned to walk towards the lakeside.

Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes, giving Li Zhan a vicious look, then turned and left.

Li Zhan simply ignored him, looking to Li Xiaoyao, “Where did you learn the martial arts you used just now?”

Li Xiaoyao knew he would ask this and thus used the prepared excuse, “In forbidden lands.”

Li Zhan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and did not harbor too much suspicion.

After all, the most powerful force Li Xiaoyao could possibly get in touch with was probably only the Ancient Li Family.

He knew the mystery of the forbidden lands, and if he said that the martial arts came from those lands, it was a plausible explanation.

Seeing that Li Zhan believed him, Li Xiaoyao internally breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it was the Mysterious System or the Secret Realm of the Hui Country, both were Li Xiaoyao’s top secrets, ones he must never reveal to anyone, no matter the circumstances—anyone!

He was all too aware of the trouble the secrets of the Mysterious System and what lay beneath the Hui Country Secret Realm would bring him if word got out.

In the span of one year, he had gone from a common man to a Sixth Rank Spirit Condensation Realm powerhouse, a rate of cultivation progress that would drive anyone mad.

Li Xiaoyao’s growth was too rapid, but even at such speed, he still felt unsatisfied.

He had never felt such a strong desire to improve his own strength.

At the Golden Core Realm, he thought he could look down upon most cultivators, and even though many were stronger than him, they were definitely not numerous.

Then he learned about Xuan Country and the Ancient Sects, where any Elder or Sect Leader of a sect casually wielded the cultivation level of Spirit Condensation Realm or Nascent Soul Realm.

The vast disparity in realm made him acutely aware of an intense crisis.

Even after his cultivation level ascended to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he found himself still frail and weak compared to the clan leaders of those ancient sects.

When he learned that all nine predecessors of the Li Family were of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and that he was the tenth generation successor, he didn’t feel happy, excited, or thrilled.

On the contrary, he felt an immense pressure.

The stronger the power, the greater the responsibility.

He wasn’t alone; he had many women, friends, and family members to protect.

If he merely relied on his current cultivation level, the prospect of not being bullied by outsiders was difficult, extremely difficult!

“Xiaoyao, come here, let me introduce you to a few friends,” Liu Chengxiang came over at this moment and said softly, his words also catching Li Zhan’s attention.

“Master Liu?” Li Zhan recognized Liu Chengxiang and knew what special status this old fellow with average cultivation held among the high echelons of Xuan Country.

Liu Chengxiang nodded slightly, saying, “Patriarch Li.”

“You know Xiaoyao?” Li Zhan suddenly realized he didn’t know Li Xiaoyao very well, which made him feel a sense of helplessness that was beyond his control, a rather terrible feeling.

Liu Chengxiang nodded and said, “Xiaoyao is an elder of our Xuan Sect.”

“An elder of Xuan Sect?” Li Zhan was startled, immediately turning to look at Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao gave a faint smile and said, “I have a friendship that transcends age with Sect Leader Jiang.”

“I see,” Li Zhan patted his shoulder and said, “I’ll go ahead, come over when you’re done here.”

“Master Liu, let’s have dinner together tonight,” Li Zhan greeted and then turned to leave.

As soon as Li Zhan left, the smile on Liu Chengxiang’s face receded.

Noticing the change, Li Xiaoyao asked, “What’s with that expression?”

Liu Chengxiang squinted his eyes and stared at Li Zhan’s departing figure for a long time before saying, “Let’s talk somewhere else.”

“Weren’t you going to introduce me to your friends?” Li Xiaoyao always felt that there was something off about Liu Chengxiang’s evasive behavior.

“We will meet them later.” Liu Chengxiang turned and walked away, leaving Li Xiaoyao with no choice but to follow.

The two walked halfway around the lake, and at Liu Chengxiang’s request, Li Xiaoyao cast a soundproofing technique. Seeing him so grave, Li Xiaoyao’s curiosity was successfully piqued.

“What is it exactly?”

Liu Chengxiang furrowed his brows tight, and after a long while, he uttered, “Be wary of Li Zhan.”

“What?” Li Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled. What did he mean by that?

“Your fate is too extraordinary for me to divine, but when that Li Zhan is with you, I have a strong intuition that he harbors nefarious intentions toward you.”

“Towards me?” Li Xiaoyao looked bewildered, truly at a loss as to what he could possibly have that would be coveted by Li Zhan.
