Chapter 2085: Chapter 2090: Competition
The appearance of Qi Bai undoubtedly sent a tremor through the gathered cultivators.
The head of a top-tier family in the Myriad Realms!
Usually, such a person is like a Heavenly God hanging on the Firmament.
How could ordinary people glimpse his true visage!
Yet, unexpectedly, today.
Such a fearsome character descended upon Luodong City!
Evidently, Xia Liu’s potential is so great that it stirs even the top powers of the Myriad Realms to move.
Even if they cannot recruit him, they must strive to befriend him.
Building a relationship with such a young cultivator with limitless prospects.
Will have no drawbacks!
"Young Friend Xia, today I represent the Qi Family to lend you a helping hand!"
When Qi Bai descended, his eyes were only on Xia Liu.
Only someone like Xia Liu, with such top-tier talent, would warrant his presence.
"Many thanks for your arrival, Senior Qi! I, Xia Liu, dare not forget!"
Xia Liu now realizes refusing the help of the Qi Family and the Cultivation Alliance seems impossible.
In Dandong City, Xia Liu had thoughts of gambling.
He wanted to see how much the Qi Family and the Cultivation Alliance valued him.
Now he sees.
The Qi Family and the Alliance, full of sincerity, regardless of Su Mu, the Southern Protector, or Qi Bai.
They are all at the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
Yet they show him respect, conversing as if among friends.
At this age, to receive such treatment, surely not one in an eternity has experienced it.
"Young Friend Xia, previously, without your consent, we let it be known you are a Guest Elder of the Qi Family; I hope for your understanding."
"Senior Qi, you shouldn’t say that. To bear this title, I, Xia, have the luck of three lifetimes!"
Xia Liu feels quite awkward.
The head of a top-tier family actually apologizing to him.
This surely would shake the world!
Just as he thought.
The cultivators within hundreds of miles trembled in awe.
After today, Xia Liu’s name is bound to resonate across the Myriad Realms!
Even a figure like Qi Bai converses genially with him.
Almost as if bowing half a head.
Xia Liu truly is perplexing!
"Family Head Qi, this is somewhat improper of you; a dignified head of a top-tier family should not act like this!"
The Southern Protector speaks, patting Xia Liu on the shoulder.
"Young Friend, do not feel any burden; what the Qi Family can offer you, the Alliance can as well, and the Alliance is the central presence of the Central Continent and even the Four Realms!"
The Southern Protector may not have expressed recruitment words directly.
But his analysis of conditions was quite clear-cut.
Join the Alliance, become renowned across the Four Realms, and in the future, shock the Central Continent!
"Ahem, Southern Protector, your Alliance’s sincerity is lacking; if the protectors of the martial world all came forth, perhaps some sincerity could be shown."
Qi Bai said bluntly.
Recruiting Xia Liu right in front of him.
Relying on just one protector may not temporarily match the Family Head of the Qi Family!
This point, the surrounding cultivators all smiled wryly.
Initially, it was Xia Liu’s paramount showdown against the Zhuang Family.
With the appearance of the Cultivation Alliance and Qi Family cultivators, it transformed into a scene where everyone vies for Xia Liu.
Though there was no thrilling confrontation against powerful figures.
Being able to see so many eminent personalities, the onlookers were satisfied!
Of course, they could perceive as well.
Since Qi Bai appeared, the Alliance’s sincerity has diminished somewhat.
Just as Qi Bai mentioned.
Only if the Four Protectors of the Alliance came might it match the presence of the Qi Family’s head.
Qi Bai truly is shrewd, revealing this directly before Xia Liu.
It shows the Qi Family is determined to win Xia Liu’s favor!
"Family Head Qi, you’re so straightforward, truly confident indeed."
Suddenly, Su Mu, who had been silent this whole time, spoke.
Before everyone, he lifted his black robe.
The kind face full of smiles appeared, making every cultivator present gasp for breath.
"Chairman Su!"
Qi Bai reacted first.
He was nearly dumbfounded.
He indeed underestimated the Alliance’s sincerity towards Xia Liu.
Even the chairman made a move!
This time, as the Qi Family head, he felt inferior.
"Chairman?"
Xia Liu looked at Su Mu with confusion.
Could this old man be the chairman of the Northern Realm Cultivation Alliance branch?
"Young Friend Xia, there was no time to inform you; I am Su Mu, the chairman of the Northern Realm Alliance branch."
Wow!
As Su Mu announced his identity.
The cultivators present were further shocked sevenfold!
Too terrifying!
The Cultivation Alliance Chairman!
The Family Head of the Qi Family!
These two are renowned top-tier cultivators of the Myriad Realms!
Today, for the sake of one youth, they appeared simultaneously, with countless Nascent Soul experts supporting!
Such a scale.
A bit stronger and it might rival the Immortal Ascension Gathering!
Everyone looked at Xia Liu with envy.
To stir such a storm, he truly is the new star of the Myriad Realms!
Truly a monster unseen through eternity!
After today, Xia Liu’s name is destined to shock the Myriad Realms!
"Ahem, Chairman Su, your involvement in this might be imprudent?"
Suddenly, Qi Bai changed tack.
Revealing the Cultivation Alliance’s situation.
The Alliance represents the ironclad rules, with every move watched by the world.
Now, for the sake of one cultivator, they undertake a grand operation, seemingly protecting their own.
Qi Bai sought to use this to deter Su Mu.
So that Xia Liu would only accept the Qi Family’s assistance!
Thus, he could naturally bring him into the Qi Family.
Even if Xia Liu disregards any title or position from the Qi Family.
The Qi Family only needs to extend enough favor to him.
"If it was before, the Alliance indeed would find it difficult to intervene, but today is different. The Zhuang Family caused too much commotion, plus the Alliance holds plenty of evidence, so today, it is not simply Xia Liu visiting the Zhuang Family, but the beginning of the Alliance’s official enforcement of justice!"
...
Su Mu’s words evoked enthusiasm among the cultivators.
Because, among them, this also involved their interests!
"Chairman Su, please explain it in detail."
"In recent years, the Alliance has been collecting evidence, and has received countless complaints from Daoist fellows. The Zhuang Family, relying on its control over the Xishan Mountain Realm’s Teleportation Formation, deliberately overcharges, and the Zhuang Family is also connected to a massacre thirty years ago..."
Regarding the Zhuang Family’s numerous malicious deeds, Su Mu did not reveal all.
Just these two matters warrant the Alliance taking action!
With impartial force, to deter the heroes!
To safeguard the Alliance’s reputation!
"Chairman Su truly understands righteousness!"
"Months ago I returned from the Xishan Mountain Realm Teleportation Formation and was indeed overcharged by the Heavenly Sect! That was my hard-earned money!"
"It’s just right! The Zhuang Family has expanded immensely in recent years! Whenever they can exploit someone, they do not hesitate!"
"Indeed! Last time, I accidentally brushed against the arm of a Zhuang Family maid, and they made me compensate three hundred pieces of Supreme Grade Spirit Stone! Utterly tyrannical!"
...
Su Mu’s words elicited reactions from the cultivators present.
Previously they did not delve into why the Alliance came to aid Xia Liu against the Zhuang Family.
It was because they all experienced oppression and exploitation from the Zhuang Family.
Now they know the Alliance is here to hold the Zhuang Family accountable, their emotions were immediately stirred.
The Zhuang Family should indeed be punished!
Xia Liu silently observed all this, realizing that the Zhuang Family had reached the point where everyone desires their downfall; it seems that after today, among the second-tier top families of the Myriad Realms, the Zhuang Family will no longer be included...
