Chapter 2082: Chapter 2087: Daoist Fellow, Are You Mocking Me?
"Daoist Fellow, that’s an interesting question. After obtaining the Ascension Command, it’ll take some time before heading to the Central Continent."
"And then?"
Su Mu grew increasingly interested. It seemed his goodwill at the time had left Xia Liu gravely injured by many.
"Don’t you understand? After Xia Liu obtained the Ascension Command, it resonated through the Northern Realm and then spread to the other three realms, intimidating those Cultivators who obtained the Ascension Command."
The Golden Pill Elder glanced around and continued: "After intimidating them, proving that the Northern Realm has produced a Divine State, then when going to the Central Continent, find an excuse to say Xia Liu cannot come."
"This..."
"Sounds kind of reasonable!"
"If the Northern Realm Alliance’s branch really has this idea, it can certainly be done."
"Indeed, now that Xia Liu is almost notorious, once the Ascension Assembly begins, just buy off some Cultivators and directly snatch the Ascension Command..."
"Hiss..."
Many people gasped.
In that case, Xia Liu might really be a muggle crafted by the Qi Family and the Cultivation Alliance!
"Your ideas are truly naive. During the battle in Dandong City, Xia Liu convinced the master of the Taiwei Evil-Slaying Sword to follow the right path with just one sword. Haven’t you heard?"
Su Mu didn’t even know how to explain anymore.
These people were truly full with nothing better to do.
Xia Liu didn’t just accomplish one major thing, yet they could deny it from every angle.
They just refused to believe Xia Liu was that powerful.
"Who knows if this isn’t a collaboration between Senior Zhuang Sheng and the Alliance? At that time, the Northern Protector spoke for Xia Liu on site."
"That’s right! I also heard about this. When the Alliance Protector returned from guarding the Northern Martial Forest, he directly befriended Xia Liu and even voluntarily helped Xia Liu against the Zhuang Family."
"Truly terrifying upon reflection!"
...
Su Mu almost couldn’t hold back his anger.
What kind of logic is this?
The Northern Protector’s character is quite straightforward, and his Dao is all about natural fate.
When encountering promising Cultivators, as long as they don’t commit evil, he’ll help without hesitation.
Su Mu couldn’t help but remember the Northern Protector.
Poor Northern Protector of the Alliance.
To be slandered to such an extent.
If he heard it, he’d likely chuckle bitterly.
"And this time, do you all think the Zhuang Family and Alliance or Qi Family are also collaborating? To elevate Xia Liu’s status?"
Su Mu diverted the topic to the Zhuang Family.
If they still claimed the Zhuang Family and Alliance collaborated.
That would indeed be miraculous.
"This time is different! Regardless of Xia Liu’s intentions, he killed Zhuang Fei and previously crippled the Young Master Zhuang’s Energy Body. The Zhuang Family has an irreconcilable feud with him!"
This time the Golden Pill Elder was exceedingly firm.
Whether Xia Liu’s true side can be exposed.
Only the Zhuang Family has such power!
"Interesting."
Xia Liu couldn’t help but utter two words.
This is too interesting.
Such strange logic and thoughts.
They must live in fear every day.
After all, common folk wouldn’t think so much.
"Are you mocking me, Daoist Fellow?"
The Golden Pill Elder looked at Xia Liu, his expression indifferent.
All poised to strike at a disagreement.
"Consider it so."
Xia Liu replied openly.
"Hmm! You dare not show your true face, what right do you have to mock me! Reveal yourself now!"
The Golden Pill Elder transformed his palm into a claw, paired with an extreme movement technique, appearing instantly behind Xia Liu.
Just as the claw struck.
A massive aura erupted from Xia Liu’s body.
Dual Polar fiercely attacked here.
The Golden Pill Elder, close by, was stunned.
The next second, he was entirely petrified.
Unable to make any movement.
He discovered everything below his head was frozen.
Within the ice, he felt an immensely strong Flame Power.
He was very sure, with just one thought from the Black Robe man.
The flame would explode from inside out.
In the end, he would burn to death alive!
Too terrifying!
This feeling oppressed his Heart and Soul, cold sweat continuously dripping from his forehead.
"Senior, there’s a misunderstanding! Junior never intended any disrespect towards Xia Liu, just wanted to draw attention, hence fabricating those illogical ideas!"
The Golden Pill Elder connected previous incidents.
Quickly began apologizing.
Even if what he said was true, now it couldn’t be admitted.
Because he suspected, the Black Robed figure before him wasn’t a Qi Family Cultivator, but an Alliance powerhouse!
The surrounding people gazed intently at Xia Liu.
Things happened so quickly, everyone was still processing.
"Advice for you: without any evidence, don’t spread rumors around, or else you might end up crippling your Energy Body because of it!"
Xia Liu said imperiously.
Although he wouldn’t haggle with such people.
The warning was to prevent future careless rumor fabrication.
If he were more ruthless, this old man would be dead in an instant.
Xia Liu doesn’t believe those Nascent Soul Experts have better tempers than himself.
"Yes, yes! Junior will never randomly spread rumors again!"
As the coldness withdrew from his body, the Golden Pill Elder’s face turned blue.
Strong!
So strong!
At that moment, he seemed to sense death’s call!
Luckily, through his wits, he achieved rebirth.
"Senior, what’s your view on Xia Liu and the Qi Family?"
Beside the Golden Pill Elder, a calm middle-aged man asked.
"If the Zhuang Family doesn’t repent, it will fall from the Divine altar of top second-rate forces."
Xia Liu responded casually.
"Hmm! Cursing the Zhuang Family to fall from the altar, do you really think you’re qualified!"
The middle-aged man suddenly sneered, immediately bursting out Nascent Soul stage Energy Body.
Before the surrounding people could respond, the middle-aged man appeared behind Xia Liu.
A dagger wrapped in Primordial Energy suddenly appeared.
Swoosh!
The sound of air bursting echoed for a brief moment, the middle-aged man suddenly got struck flying by a palm.
Within everyone’s view, he slid across the ground for several hundred meters, finally coming to a stop.
This scene stunned the Cultivators present.
No matter what, they never imagined a Nascent Soul Early Stage powerhouse! Would actually attack from behind in a surprise attack!
The cause was nothing but the Black Robe’s curse upon the Zhuang Family.
The identity of the middle-aged man was guessed by all.
Zhuang Family Nascent Soul!
If the Zhuang Family’s tolerance is just this much, it’s not hard to see why they would go all out against Xia Liu.
"Senior, thank you."
Xia Liu clasped his fists towards Su Mu.
Su Mu did not speak, he clearly saw Xia Liu’s Sword Bag loosen behind him, yet until Su Mu acted, Xia Liu never made a move.
To achieve this, there are two reasons.
Xia Liu knew Su Mu would act.
The second is, he’s confident he won’t fall victim to the sneak attack!
As for where this confidence comes from, perhaps that’s his mysterious aspect.
"If the Zhuang Family’s Nascent Soul are all like you, relying on pills for cultivation, I really don’t understand how the Zhuang Family became a top second-rate force in the Northern Realm."
Xia Liu walked step by step towards the middle-aged man several hundred meters away, with killing intent invisibly spreading, shaking the whole venue.
