"Could we find a weaned baby who can speak properly? Our young lady and son-in-law don't talk to babies who can't even speak clearly; it's beneath their dignity," Xique said, deliberately looking down at Lan Tiangao.
For nearly a thousand years, without the constraints of the Cold Imperial Sect and the Pill Sect, and with the Hidden Sect remaining out of the public eye, the Hidden Sect has been absent from the scene.
With the tacit approval of the Azure Water Sect, the power of the eight great families of the Danling Continent has grown to an unprecedented level.
Within their respective jurisdictions or territories, the members of the eight major families are basically able to act with impunity, as long as they don't provoke the direct descendants of other families.
Lan Tiangao had never seen such an arrogant Foundation Establishment cultivator before. He looked down on even the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators like Shang Xiye, Ji Fengyao, An Zijin, and Lu Yang.
What he feared was the group of people behind Shang Xiye, most of whom were at or above the Great Completion stage.
But as an elder of the Lan family, he was confident that few people on the Danling Continent would dare to provoke him, so he was not intimidated and coldly snorted, "I don't know what kind of identity you country bumpkins have. Why don't you tell me?"
"If you just tell us to speak, wouldn't we lose face? In normal social interactions, shouldn't you first introduce yourself and state the purpose of your visit before politely asking us for advice?" Ji Fengyao said with a smile, waving her small hand.
"Sharp-tongued and quick-witted!"
Lan Tian Gaolang narrowed his eyes and suddenly struck at Xi Que. He wasn't confident he could kill the Nascent Soul Realm girl with a single blow, but he couldn't tolerate that arrogant Foundation Establishment cultivator!
"Disrespectful to elders!"
"Arrogant and conceited!"
Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye acted almost simultaneously, tacitly stepping forward to protect Xique tightly.
The young couple faced Lan Tiangao's palm strikes simultaneously.
Lan Tiangao was secretly delighted to see the two of them come to him of their own accord.
You must understand that he is a mid-stage Great Completion cultivator, while Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye are both at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. There is a whole major level difference between them. Even if the two of them joined forces, this palm strike would surely seriously injure them, if not kill them.
However, a tremendous force suddenly rebounded, and Lan Tiangao, who was secretly delighted, was caught off guard and was instantly blasted back 10 to 20 meters!
He managed to react quickly and regain his balance in mid-air. Even so, his internal organs suffered considerable shock, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Such powerful spiritual energy!
Could it be that they were hiding their strength, and that they weren't actually Nascent Soul Realm cultivators?
"You had better tell me your origins and identities truthfully, otherwise I will have no choice but to classify you as accomplices of the murderers who killed our Lan and Gu families." Lan Tiangao's face was dark, and his cold wolf eyes narrowed dangerously: "No matter who you are, in the Danling Continent, the Biyue Sect and the Eight Great Families are all in cahoots. You can't afford to offend our Lan and Gu families."
“So they are just some of the Lan family’s puppies. No wonder they bark so much.” Ji Fengyao picked at her clean, shiny fingernails and said, “Don’t say that the people who died in your Lan and Gu families have nothing to do with us. Even if they did, you can’t do anything to me.”
Lan Tiangao's facial features tightened, revealing a fierce expression, but he did not rashly launch another attack.
Ji Fengyao's smile grew even brighter: "Tsk, you look so fierce, I'm really scared; what, you want to fight? Then come on! Let's finish this quickly so we can all go home and find our mothers, I'm in a hurry to get on my way."
The Lan family members: "..."
People from the Gu family: "..."
Where did this bunch of bumpkins come from, acting so arrogantly!
