Chapter 595 Slap in the Face, Yao Yao's Birthday [1st Update]
Despite being a master of ancient martial arts, he secretly entered and exited the ancient martial arts world and even dared to carry out large-scale operations in O Continent.
It allowed so many people to witness the wonders of ancient martial arts, and it was filmed.
Each of these actions violates the rules of the court of justice and is punishable by death.
Of course, this video was only circulated on the NOK forum, the four major conglomerates of O Continent, and the ancient martial arts community.
Such supernatural events are not something that can be tolerated internationally.
That would really cause riots.
“That’s right, let’s go take a look first.” The Third Elder nodded as well. “If Ying isn’t here, then he is definitely Devil, the number one assassin on the assassin list. I’m 90% sure of it.”
As he spoke, his gaze turned cold and ruthless: "When the time comes, we'll just ask our ancestor to take action and kill him!"
No matter how powerful Ying is, can he possibly surpass the Xie family's ancestor?
Shadow's talent is too high; no one knows how terrifying he will grow to in the future.
The Xie family had long wanted to get rid of Ying.
It's just missing one reason.
The Xie family does not allow any younger generation to be better than their own descendants.
Now, Ying has delivered this reason directly to them.
As long as they can get Shadow out of the Judicial Hall, they can do whatever they want.
"Third brother, inviting the ancestor is a waste of talent." The second elder waved his hand, "Any ancestor with more than two hundred years of ancient martial arts cultivation would be enough."
The Xie family ancestor had been practicing ancient martial arts for nearly four hundred years, and there were only three people in the ancient martial arts world who could rival him.
However, in terms of combat power, the Xie family's ancestor was naturally the strongest due to the Xie family's ruthless and insidious techniques.
The Xie family has over a hundred ancestors with cultivation levels exceeding two hundred years.
The Lin, Xie, and Yue families suppress other families with absolute military force, and this is not just empty talk.
Even in the court of law, if the Xie family had a suitable reason to silence the gossip, they could be wiped out at will.
“I will go with the two elders to see,” the Xie family head said respectfully. “According to the activity on the NOK forum, Devil himself is still in O Continent. There is absolutely no way he could have returned so quickly.”
The three men, accompanied by a guard, quickly arrived at the courthouse.
The Xie family head stepped forward and smiled, "We've come to pay our respects to Lord Ying."
"The three of you have arrived at a very opportune time," the guard said. "Lord Ying happens to be inside the Court of Justice. Please come in."
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder frowned.
The shadow is actually there?
His expression changed, and he immediately followed the guards into the courtroom.
The man at the head of the table wore a wooden mask; he was tall and slender, with a restrained air about him.
He ignored the Xie family members as they entered, and simply continued reading the book in his hand.
The Second Elder frowned even more deeply and suddenly said, "Lord Ying, I recently learned some new moves and would like to ask you for some pointers."
He sneered inwardly.
Since the shadow hasn't revealed its true face, anyone can easily impersonate it.
His cultivation level and skills are undeniable; it's impossible for him to impersonate someone else.
Ying remained silent.
"Second Elder Xie," a voice rang out, "if you're looking for guidance, your Xie family has many ancestors. What are you doing here at the Judicial Hall?"
The Second Elder turned his head and recognized that this was the newly appointed retainer of the Judicial Hall.
This spot originally belonged to the Xie family.
Therefore, the Second Elder showed no kindness towards Wen Fengmian.
"Third Elder, don't think we don't know you're in cahoots with Shadow." He sneered. "I just wanted to see if he really was Shadow. Why are you suddenly saying such things? Are you feeling guilty?"
"You're overthinking it." Wen Fengmian smiled slightly. "Fighting is not allowed in the Judicial Hall, but if you provoke us, we can take action. We're just afraid you'll get hurt."
"The Third Elder has nothing to worry about," the Second Elder said coldly. "I'm provoking you today, so what?"
How dare a mere cultivator with just over fifty years of cultivation question him?
The Second Elder raised his hand and grabbed Wen Fengmian's shoulder.
He didn't hold back; this grab could cripple Wen Fengmian's shoulder bone.
At this moment, Ying, who was seated at the head of the table, finally spoke.
His voice was slow and cold: "As if I were dead?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly flew down and raised his hand to meet the Second Elder.
"Bang!"
The hall trembled slightly.
They only exchanged one palm strike!
The Second Elder took more than ten steps back, while Ying stood still, not even a strand of her hair was disheveled.
Standing to the side, the Xie family head was shocked.
This attack method is undoubtedly that of a shadow.
How is that possible?
If the shadow is here, who is that guy from O Continent?!
The Second Elder was equally shocked: "You..."
"I think the Xie family doesn't want to stay in the Court of Justice anymore." Ying glanced indifferently at the Left Protector who had just entered and smiled, "Left Protector, you're over a hundred years old, don't you care about your descendants?"
"If things continue like this, how can you maintain your reputation in your later years?"
The Left Protector's face darkened.
Ying's age is indeed a mystery in the court of justice.
However, he is indeed very young.
The Left Protector was highly respected and embarrassed to be reprimanded in public by a junior.
However, according to the rules set by the court, Ying had every reason.
In the court of justice, the Shadow holds a position equivalent to the elders and possesses veto power.
The shadow's cultivation level was not as high as his, but his power was greater.
The Left Protector was completely humiliated; he clenched his fists so tightly that his bones cracked.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Xie's family head across the face.
The Xie family head wasn't even a master of ancient martial arts, yet he was instantly sent flying by a slap.
He rolled a few times on the ground and then slammed into a pillar with a "thud".
His face turned pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Third Elder helped the Second Elder stand aside, knowing he was in the wrong, and remained silent.
"Get out of here, all of you!" The Left Protector's face was ashen. "If you have no evidence, stop spouting nonsense!"
The Xie family left in a sorry state.
The Left Protector took a deep breath, turned his head, and squeezed out the words through clenched teeth: "Satisfied?"
"Left Protector, your words are quite interesting." Ying chuckled softly, seemingly nonchalant. "Someone has challenged the rules established by the Court of Justice. They should be punished accordingly. What am I satisfied with?"
The Left Protector was so angry that his mentality exploded, and his face was distorted.
He snorted coldly and strode away.
Seeing that things had calmed down, Wen Fengmian nodded slightly to the person in the seat of honor and then left the Judicial Hall.
After everyone left, there was another period of silence.
Ying raised her hand and took off her mask.
It is Fu Xi.
Her gaze was fixed on the blood on the ground, filled with worry.
Her skill level is arguably the best in the field of ancient medicine.
However, in the world of ancient martial arts, it is only considered above average.
Once those patriarchs from the ancient martial arts families come out, she will be completely unable to protect her master and Fu Yunshen.
The time available for practicing ancient martial arts has now become a major obstacle.
Although Ying Zijing didn't say it, Fu Xi could vaguely guess that her master had probably encountered some danger, which meant that she had to start her cultivation all over again.
Medical skills will not be affected. As long as one can cultivate a little internal strength, one can learn ancient medicine.
However, the influence of ancient martial arts is simply too great.
What should I do?
Fu Xi sat quietly for a while, straightened her clothes, and left the courtroom.
**
Ancient medical circles.
The Fu family.
In the courtyard.
Fu Chen lay asleep in the rocking chair as always.
Ever since Ying Zijing taught him how to cultivate internal energy while sleeping, he has no desire to stay awake.
Then, while he was asleep, Fu Xi, who had come back to check his studies, kicked him into the lake.
Fu Chen nearly lost his breath, shivering from the cold, and quickly climbed out of the lake.
He said somewhat aggrievedly, "Ancestor, I'm cultivating."
"I don't care whether you've cultivated or not," Fu Xi said calmly. "All I see is you sleeping."
Fu Chen: "..."
He had no choice but to sit down and pick up the medicinal herbs beside him.
He chatted casually with Fu Xi: "Hey, Ancestor, Grandmaster said she has other disciples, have you met them?"
“Other disciples?” Fu Xi was taken aback and frowned. “I haven’t heard Master mention them.”
However, Fu Xi was indeed reminded, and it was a moment of enlightenment.
More than two hundred years ago, her master's ancient martial arts skills were extremely high.
Let alone the Lin, Xie, and Yue families, Ying Zijing could wipe out the entire ancient martial arts world with a wave of her hand.
If her master also had disciples in the ancient martial arts world, who would they be?
Fu Xi frowned and quickly left for the library.
She went to look at the famous figures in the ancient martial arts world to see which one could be matched with her master's disciple.
**
On the other side.
O Continent.
Ying Zijing received a call from Wen Fengmian: "Yaoyao, just as you expected, the Xie family has come to the court."
Hearing this, she glanced at Fu Yunshen beside her: "Hmm, how is the situation?"
"It's alright," Wen Fengmian said. "The Xie family has already left, and the Lin and Yue families probably won't come."
Ying Zijin nodded slightly.
The Xie family is the most impatient; once they learn of Devil's existence, they will rush to the courthouse immediately.
Having learned from the Xie family's experience, the Lin family will not act rashly.
That's why she had Fu Xi impersonate Fu Yunshen.
Even martial arts techniques can be taught temporarily, with a few moves taught on the spot.
It seems that the Xie family's actions were exactly as she had predicted.
“Dad, please don’t go to the ancient martial arts world for the time being.” Ying Zijing pondered for a moment. “I estimate that things will be chaotic for a while. Right now, the Ji family is still the safest place.”
Wen Fengmian hummed in agreement: "Dad knows what he's doing."
The call has ended.
Fu Yunshen raised his head, his peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly: "The Xie family went to the court of law?"
“Hmm.” Ying Zijing picked up the juice from the table. “Not only did they go, they also got into a fight.”
Fu Yunshen's eyes darkened, and he said in a calm tone, "The Xie family is indeed a problem."
In the ancient martial arts world, there is simply no force capable of completely restraining the Xie family.
Ying Zijing turned her head: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the ingredients and jewelry." Fu Yunshen lightly flicked the paper with his slender hand. "It's your birthday. You'll be nineteen the day after tomorrow. Time flies."
He lifted his eyelids slightly: "No way, Yao Yao, you've forgotten?"
If he hadn't brought it up, Ying Zijing would have indeed forgotten about it.
“I’ve never been one for birthday celebrations.” She paused for a moment. “You know perfectly well that I’ve actually lived quite a long time.”
"So what? You're just a little girl now." Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow. "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Death is also a new life'?"
"Being able to have a new life is something many people envy."
Ying Zijin closed her eyes briefly: "Yes."
She never imagined that she would be able to live again after dying.
"We still need to celebrate my birthday, so we need to prepare properly." Fu Yunshen closed his book. "There's still one year left."
"Um?"
You've reached the legal marriage age.
"..."
Ying Zijing looked at him thoughtfully: "It's not impossible."
Fu Yunshen turned his head, somewhat surprised: "How could your idea change so quickly?"
"Then let's wait until I graduate from university."
"..."
He shouldn't have asked so many questions.
“Okay, I’m going out for a bit.” Fu Yun Shen patted her head gently. “The Patch family was just expelled, so things are still a bit chaotic. Keep an eye on things.”
Ying Zijing nodded: "I'm planning to go out and have some fun."
She also arranged to have dinner with Caesar.
It's great to not have to spend my own money.
At the doorway, Yunwu silently picked up a burlap sack and covered her face.
When others play, they really play.
Miss Ying is playing with their young master?
Someone must be going to suffer.
How miserable.
**
Venus Group headquarters.
In the conference room.
One of them spoke slowly: "This time, the president of the Asia-Pacific region will also be coming."
This sentence caused everyone in the conference room to pause in their tracks.
As fellow executives of the Venus Group, they naturally knew about the president who had mysteriously arrived in the Asia-Pacific region.
Generally speaking, a position of this level would never be given to a Chinese person.
They also inquired about this matter with their superiors.
The answer I received was that Fu Yunshen had saved the CEO's life, and the Asia-Pacific region had just been established when it was given to him.
This answer is not unreasonable.
However, during the past year or so, Venus Group headquarters held several all-hands meetings, but Fu Yunshen did not attend, which made them somewhat at ease.
This proves that Fu Yunshen was not valued.
Why is it coming today?
"Alright, don't be so nervous." Another Westerner laughed. "He's just the president of the Asia-Pacific region, not the CEO. What's there to worry about? He can't compare to the president of our O Alliance region."
The main text should be about three-quarters complete by now, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Thank you for your votes, everyone!
It's almost the end of the month, so if you still have monthly tickets left, please give them to Emperor Ying and Commander Fu!
