Bang!

Bang!

The sound of knocking on the door echoed along the long street, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

"The Ling family's Elixir Pavilion is full of shoddy imitations!"

"Pay up!"

The curses echoed for miles, shaking the long street and disturbing the peace of the Ling family.

"What... what's going on with these people?"

"Swearing in the street so early in the morning! This is the Ling family!"

"Hmph, I heard that the pills sold at the Ling family's Pill Pavilion a few days ago were counterfeit. I wonder if that's true or not?"

"That can't be right. I've bought a lot of high-quality pills from the Spirit Pill Pavilion before."

A group of onlookers began to discuss the spectacle, watching the martial artists shouting and making a fuss, somewhat incredulous.

After all, the five major families have deep roots in Thousand Machine City and enjoy extremely high prestige.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed person whispered:

"I remember this guy, isn't he Zhang Laowu? That guy always extorts small shops, how dare he cause trouble at the Ling family this time?"

Not long after, the Ling family's gates were opened.

The next instant, a burst of true energy was unleashed.

In an instant, Zhang Laowu and several others were sent flying.

"What kind of trash dares to act so presumptuously at the Ling family's residence?"

Ling Tailai crossed his arms over his chest, his face cold.

"You bunch of scoundrels, thinking you're so capable that you dare to extort money from the Ling family?"

Ling Tailai's expression was also very unpleasant at this moment. Judging from the situation, how could he not know?

It must have been the Wang family that started it.

Not only are they spreading rumors, but now they are also recruiting people to cause trouble at their homes.

If the Ling family still doesn't react, they might start to suppress them... or even use force.

"Does your Ling family think you can be so arrogant and unreasonable, bullying us ordinary martial artists?"

Suddenly, an old man in the crowd jumped up, pretending to be a victim, and said aggrievedly.

Ling Tailai remained expressionless.

"You old man, don't try to scam me at your age. I won't hold back."

He was startled; this old man was no ordinary ruffian, but a well-known independent cultivator in the city.

He is highly respected and has the authority to intervene.

This undoubtedly led many people to believe it.

At that moment, several more people stepped out from the crowd, including men and women, the elderly and children.

It was there that they began to denounce the crimes of the Ling family.

Some old stories have also begun to resurface.

Clearly, they all came prepared.

"you?"

Ling Tailai's expression changed drastically. These people were all martial artists with considerable strength and some reputation.

They were all won over by the Wang family.

This is……

What do you want to do?

"Our demands are not high. You must compensate us with ten times the amount of pills and apologize to us. Otherwise, we will not let this go."

An old woman chuckled and said coldly.

Ling Tailai frowned, noticing that the people around him were clearly being swayed and had started discussing the matter animatedly.

Many of them were planted by the Wang family, and they began spreading the news among the crowd.

Just as he was about to make his move, a long sigh came from the crowd.

"A bunch of lowlifes, they've lived this long for nothing."

"In this great world of martial arts, do you really think that such a little bit of verbal sparring is of any use?"

From the crowd, a man in blue stepped forward, his eyes sweeping over the people.

"Get out of my way!"

These words were spoken.

These "highly respected" people were about to get angry, but when they saw who it was, they swallowed their words, their faces flushed, and they dared not utter a single word.

The others didn't dare to say anything more and obediently made way. Even some of the onlookers dispersed, fearing they might be implicated.

“Pang Xu…”

Ling Tailai's heart sank.

Those who caused trouble, although they had some reputation, were not very strong. Many of them were from small families and their cultivation was very poor.

But Pang Xu is different. He is a top-tier Martial Saint, a great master who has entered the Celestial Realm. Few members of the Ling family can stop him.

Because Pang Xu was also a master from a powerful family, and the techniques he cultivated were top-notch, in no way inferior to those of the Ling family.

But I heard that this person has some health problems and needs to suppress his lust every day, otherwise he will go crazy. In recent years, he has been frequenting brothels and rarely comes out of seclusion.

How did I manage to be persuaded today?

"Senior Pang, what brings you here?"

Ling Tailai looked apprehensive, and dared not be negligent in front of this person.

"Today, I have come to the Ling family to pay my respects to your ancestor and hope that he can offer some guidance."

Pang Xu made no attempt to hide his intentions and revealed his purpose.

"this……"

"Let him in."

Ling Tailai hesitated for a moment, but after hearing a voice transmission, he stepped aside and did not dare to stop them.

Pang Xu's strength is too high; my Dharma Aspect Martial Saint is no match for him at all.

However, Pang Xu actually had a good reputation. He never forced any respectable women; it was all consensual. In fact, many women would deliberately approach him... just to leave behind a celestial offspring.

Meanwhile, the Ling family was on high alert. Lin Fan followed behind Li Ming, marveling at the situation.

"This person is so arrogant. What gives him the audacity to come to the Ling family alone?"

Li Ming looked at the person with a deep, unfathomable gaze.

Pang Xu

[Cultivation Level]: [Celestial Being Level 3]

[Entry]: [Nine Yang Sacred Body (Crimson), Pure Yang Dao Principle (Red), Lustful Dragon Bloodline (Red), Dragon Transformation (Red), Exceptional Talent (Red), Dragon Bone (Red), Dragon Might (Red), See Through the Mortal World (Red), Attracting the Opposite Sex (Blue), Many Children, Many Blessings (Blue)...Lustful Fire Burning the Body (Gray)]

Before Li Ming could speak, Ling Yongyi beside him answered:

"Pang Xu cultivated the Nine Yang Sacred Body many years ago and was one of the true disciples of the Nine Yang Sect. However, when he broke through to the Celestial Realm, he accidentally activated the Lustful Dragon Bloodline. Although it greatly improved his aptitude, it also produced many side effects."

If he could cultivate normally, he should have made considerable progress in the Celestial Realm.

The Nine Yang Sect is a major sect in the Eastern Region, backed by the Sun Holy Land, and is also an extremely powerful force.

It is no less than the Pavilion of All Souls.

"Although this person's cultivation is difficult to advance, his physical condition has been blessed by misfortune. If this matter can be resolved, his future is promising."

Li Ming was slightly amazed.

Ling Yongyi sighed:

"I didn't expect the Wang family to actually persuade him?"

"This person's purpose doesn't seem so simple."

Li Ming saw things very clearly; he had already sensed Pang Xu's arrival.

However, this person's purpose was not so simple. He was not only driven by the Wang family, but also for someone in the Ling family at this time.

Just as Pang Xu stepped into the Ling family, a powerful aura rose up.

"Senior Brother Pang, let's go back."

A voice rang out from the void, and in an instant, the sky shimmered for ten miles, like a great river stretching across the sky.

This forced Pang Xu to stop.

Meanwhile, many people made way for him, exclaiming and backing away. Clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd experienced something like this, and they had plenty of experience watching such events.

Pang Xu slightly raised his head, looking at the blue-clad youth striding through the air, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"You think I'll go back just because you tell me to?"

He had naturally heard of Shenjiang Sect, whose judgment was as sharp as a god.

But when he rose to fame, this kid wasn't even born yet, so it was impossible to shut him up with a single word.

When Ling Yong saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little worried for Duan Rushen.

Although Duan Rushen possesses exceptional talent, he has only been at the Celestial Realm for a few years.

Pang Xu, on the other hand, was a famous figure decades ago and had long been a celestial being.

It's really hard to say who will win between these two.

Li Ming, however, watched the two fight calmly and said unhurriedly:

"Brother Ling, there's no need to worry too much. Just observe calmly."

"Alright... I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Li."

Ling Yongyi calmed down and realized that he had lost his composure.

Lin Fan nodded in agreement.

"Don't bother with the problem; Senior Li will take care of it when the time comes!"

"hehe."

Ling Yongyi chuckled a few times, assuming that Lin Fan was unaware of the situation.

I didn't pay too much attention to it.

If these powerful beings were to fight, it would be impossible for just one or two Martial Saints at the Enlightenment Realm to participate.
