"Greetings, Patriarch!"

"Greetings, Patriarch!"

In the hall of the Liu Family, an old man wearing a cyan robe with the air of a transcendent being slowly walked in. Seeing the old man, all the disciples of the Liu Family had serious expressions on their faces. They all greeted the old man.

"Eh? Could this be the Liu Family's Liu San?" City Lord Xu Jin frowned slightly as he stared at Old Man Liu with a rather gloomy expression.

"Greetings City Lord!" Old Man Liu smiled lightly, glancing at the Mayor Xu Jin as he cupped his hands and said.

"Hehe, so it's Old Man Liu. I've heard about him for a long time!" Xu Jin gave a fake smile and slightly nodded towards Old Man Liu.

"Mayor, regarding the matter of injuring a daughter, my Liu Family will naturally give you an explanation!" However, the fight between the three Families is imminent, and Wu Hen happens to be a competitor of the Liu Family's younger generation. "How about this, please grant Master a few days' time. After the fight ends, the Liu Family will give Master a satisfactory answer!" Old Man Liu had a carefree expression on his face as he leisurely sipped on a cup of tea.

"Hehe, Old Man Liu's words are really light!" Mayor Xu Jin laughed coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he shook his long sleeves.

A hurricane descended from the sky and strangely enveloped Old Man Liu. The people in the hall looked at the terrifying hurricane whistling in the wind, but didn't feel the slightest bit of threat from the mystical Qi. They couldn't help but admire Xu Jin's brilliant methods while secretly sweating for Old Man Liu!

"Haha, Mayor, don't worry. I said I would satisfy you, so you will!" A wave of faint laughter rang out, and a green light flashed within the terrifying hurricane. Soon after, a vigorous surge of vitality filled the entire hall, and the terrifying howling hurricane gradually vanished into thin air!

"Yi, he actually broke through my hurricane. So this old man has actually reached the Soul Fusion stage!" He stared at the green-robed figure in front of him, which was gradually becoming clearer, and quietly pondered as he spoke!

"Hehe, I wonder what's your opinion on this matter, City Lord?" The vigorous aura of life gradually dissipated from Old Man Liu's body. He still looked at the Mayor Xu Jin and asked calmly.

"Hehe, then we'll do as you say. "After the battle is over, I will await your explanation!" Xu Jin nodded with a fake smile on his face. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he got up and ran out of the Liu Family Mansion with big steps.

Seeing this, the soldiers that had filed in on both sides all turned around and left the Liu Family Mansion in unison.

"Greetings to the City Lord!" Old Man Liu bowed slightly and called out to the mayor's back. No response came. As the footsteps got further and further away, the Liu Family Mansion regained its former tranquility.

"Ancestor, this …" The Patriarch, Liu Zongyi, had a worried expression as he tried to question Old Man Liu.

"No one is allowed to mention what happened today. Those who violated this rules are expelled from the Liu Family. As for Wu Hen, don't meddle in his affairs, this old man has his own plans! " Old Man Liu cast a glance at Liu Zongyi, as his authoritative voice resounded clearly in the ears of everyone present.

"As you command, Patriarch!"

Seeing this, the Liu Family warriors did not dare to say anything else. They quickly bowed and complied.

A cool breeze blew in, causing Old Man Liu's figure to suddenly move. Old Man Liu, who had been sitting in the great hall just a moment ago, had disappeared into thin air before the eyes of the crowd.

After this turmoil, the Liu Family members became more low-profile. However, Wu Hen did not know about the cause of this incident. He was still furiously cultivating the Eternal Heaven Art that Demon Lord Huo Xiao had imparted to him!

Boom boom boom boom. A series of profound energy fluctuations emerged. A wave of turmoil once again came from Wu Hen's small courtyard. Since Wu Hen went into closed-door cultivation, this was the first time there were such loud noises. People of the Liu Family who were used to this were still doing whatever they were doing on their own.

"Whew." As he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, Wu Hen, who was on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. Two rays of light shot out, and Wu Hen's entire demeanor changed.

Wu Hen's entire body was covered with a layer of faint yellow mist, and his entire body seemed to be made of bronze. He looked even more yellow and burly than before, and when paired with his handsome face that had no traces of lines on it, he gave off a feeling of maturity and stability.

"Ai, I failed again!" It's just that I'm short by a tiny bit. Otherwise, I would have reached the late stage of Soul Transformation! " Wu Hen sighed softly. Looking at his tightly clenched fists, his sharp eyes were filled with indignation!

"Hehe, speed makes waste. In just half a month, all of the profound energy in your body has been turned into primordial chaos. I believe that as long as you reach the late stage of the Soul Transformation stage, this primal chaos energy will be completely used up by you, nourishing your body! At that time, even an ordinary early stage Soul Building martial practitioner would not be able to pose a fatal threat to you! " The Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao smiled, as an illusory silhouette appeared beside Wu Hen.

"Old demon, how long did I train this time?" Wu Hen nodded his head lightly. Feeling the vigorous profound energy surging in his body, he believed in the Demon Lord's words even more.

"Hehe, in less than half a month. "You just so happened to have finished your training. Tomorrow is the day of the competition!" Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao said in satisfaction as he looked at Wu Hen, who was brimming with fighting spirit.

"Oh, there's still one more day?" The corners of Wu Hen's mouth lifted slightly as he unconsciously touched the jade belt left behind by the flexible sword at his waist. Haha, tomorrow! Let me, this trash, properly teach the genius disciple of Tranquil East City a lesson! " A wave of faint laughter emerged, and the room Wu Hen was in once again surged with a thick aura of profound energy.

On the military field outside Tranquil East City, the three great families were competing with their disciples for the rest of their lives.

The entire military arena had been surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, so many that not even a drop of water could trickle through. The soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion all held long spears in their hands as they stood at the outermost perimeter of the military ground, maintaining order.

The disciples of Yu, Shi, Liu, and the three great families were divided into three groups: west, south, north, and south. The Patriarchs of the various families, the branches of the other families, and some of the influential figures in the smaller families were all in attendance. Directly to the east was the position personally overseen by the City Lord Xu Jin. The aide-de-camp, deputy general, and general were all majestically divided into two sides.

Next to the city governor, Xu Jin, sat a young, beautiful woman. It was the city governor's daughter, Xu Yining. Xu Yining's face was gloomy, and there was a sinister look in his eyes. His eyes were wandering back and forth in the formation of the Liu Family disciples, as if he was looking for something.

Dong dong dong, dong dong dong …

A loud and passionate gong resounded through the military arena like a deafening thunderclap. The banners fluttered in the wind, and the entire military arena instantly became quiet.

"Whew." A strange gust of cold wind blew, startling the citizens who were watching from below the military arena and causing them to shudder involuntarily. Soon after, a figure appeared out of nowhere on the high platform in the middle of the military field.

"Hehe, I am Shangguan Yunton of the Spiritual Treasure sect. Greetings, everyone!" On the high platform, a big and burly man stroked the beard on both sides of his temples charmingly. The voice that was filled with words caused the goosebumps on the bodies of the spectators below the stage to fall to the ground.

"Hehe, it is my honor to be the judge of the three great families' young disciples' fight today. If anything is amiss, please forgive me, patriarchs and lords! " The androgynous Shangguan Yun smiled and cupped his hands in a greeting towards the three noble families.

"Haha, Mr. Shangguan is too polite. It would be fair for you to preside over this battle!" The Yu Family Clan's Yu Kui hurriedly stood up and politely smiled at Shangguan Yun.

"Thank you for your troubles, Mr. Shangguan. Our Shi family has no objections!" The leader of the Shi family shook his sturdy frame and cupped his fist towards Shangguan Yun.

"We, the Liu Family, are all at Mr. Shangguan's disposal!" Liu Zongyi maintained a smile on his face the entire time as he politely spoke to Shangguan Yun.

"Haha, since the three great clans have no objections …" "Then Mr. Shangguan, let's start!" City Lord Xu Jin laughed out loud and raised his hand to signal to the officials on the high platform.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I won't be polite! Yu, Shi, Liu and the other young disciples of the three families, quickly go up the stage! " Shangguan Yun suddenly gripped his waist and glanced around the stage arrogantly before shouting out loud.

Shua, shua, Shangguan Yunton's voice had just faded, when two figures could be seen dashing out from the respective teams of Yu, Shi and the other two. Two strong gusts of wind blew across the military arena, and the figures of two youths suddenly appeared beside Shangguan Yun who was standing on the high platform.

"Yu family's Yu Ding Yi greets Mister Shangguan!"

"Shi Family, Shi Lei, greetings to Mr. Shangguan!"

Yu Ding Yi, who was wearing a golden yellow robe, and Shi Lei, who was wearing a grey robe, saluted Shangguan Yun respectfully.

"Hey, where are the Liu Family?" Shangguan Yun glanced at the two of them and asked the audience with a displeased tone.

"Cough cough, you're here, you're here, you're here!" A burst of hurried shouts slowly sounded out from afar. He saw a handsome young man wearing a green robe running to the bottom of the high platform. Soon after, the green-robed youth forcefully poked his hands out and grabbed the long stairs that led to the stage. He leaped up, and climbed up the ladder in front of him, all the way to the platform that was tens of meters high.

"Damn, is this brat messing with me?" On the high platform, Shangguan Yun ruthlessly rolled his eyes as he cursed in his heart while staring at the figure that was gradually becoming clearer.

"Haha, is this guy really a martial artist?"

"Haha, are the Liu Family members here to make a joke?"

"Haha, boy, go down, go down!"

Laughter was heard from below the stage, and the commoners who were watching the show in the training field started to laugh and scold loudly. Everyone in the Yu, Shi, and Liu Families looked at them with disdain. The Liu Family disciples felt their faces burning and lowered their heads.

"Brat, what are you doing?" The voice of Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao echoed in Wu Hen's mind.

"Damn. Old demon, didn't you tell me to keep a low profile?" "What do you think? This young master has kept a low profile!" The corner of Wu Hen's mouth raised slightly as he climbed even more arduously than before! The sunlight shone down in an oblique angle onto Wu Hen's bronze colored skin, adding a masculine charm to his handsome appearance.
