Chapter 507: Chapter 250: Those Who Offend Me Shall Be Slain

’A tall tree attracts the wind. My title as the number one martial artist of Linji City’s younger generation makes me an easy target for trouble.’

’I’m afraid Su Qiluo and Su Nishang are targeting me this time. As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Great Dao Sect and the Vice Director of the Linji City Demon Suppression Department, I should be fine if I just ignore them.’

’But Xiaowan rarely leaves the house. She’s a total homebody, yet they’ve targeted her too. That’s a very dangerous sign.’

’Putting Xiaowan on the Celestial Pride List... their intentions are truly sinister!’

’The problem is, the Sutra of Ultimate Sect doesn’t operate through open violence. I really have no way to deal with them.’

’If the True Disciples of the Sutra of Ultimate Sect are this difficult to handle, it’ll be even more troublesome if True Disciples from the Taiyi Sect or the Blood Moon Sect arrive in Linji City.’

’Once you’re in the Jianghu, your life is not your own. It’s so damn hard.’

’Ultimately, it’s because I’m not strong enough. That’s why Su Qiluo and Su Nishang dare to target me so brazenly.’

’If I were strong enough to become a True Disciple of the Great Dao Sect, I could use the rule that allows True Disciples from different sects to challenge one another. I’d go right to their doorstep and kill those two vixen!’

’For now, all I can do is improve my combat skills as quickly as possible!’

’So what if they’re True Disciples of a Major Sect? Those who cross me will be cut down!’

Chen Cheng’s body blurred into motion as he began to frantically practice the Tendon-Separating Bone-Crushing Hand!

...

Inner City.

Wang Family Estate.

Humming a little tune, Wang Xiongjie walked into the family’s grand estate and arrived at the assembly hall.

Although Wang Xiongjie was a direct descendant of the Wang Family, his Martial Arts Talent was merely upper-tier. He wasn’t considered outstanding among the family’s younger generation and didn’t receive much attention from the elders.

However, with Wang Xiongzhang’s death, Wang Xiongying’s descent into madness and subsequent imprisonment, and Wang Xiongba’s disappearance, the most outstanding Celestial Prides of the Wang Family’s younger generation were wiped out in one fell swoop.

While there were still many young disciples left in the Wang Family, none of them had the Martial Arts Talent to be considered a Celestial Pride.

As the best of a mediocre bunch, Wang Xiongjie became the most dazzling figure among the remaining Wang disciples.

He began to receive the elders’ attention and a greater share of the family’s resources.

Recently, he had even been placed on the Linji City Celestial Pride List by the two Fairies of the Sutra of Ultimate Immortal Realm, making him an honored guest of the Jasper Pool Immortal Pavilion!

Lately, Wang Xiongjie’s prestige was boundless! He was in exceptionally high spirits!

"Grandfather, you were looking for me?"

Striding into the assembly hall, Wang Xiongjie gave a respectful bow to Wang Tingxuan.

"Hmph!" Seated on the main chair, the Wang Family’s Patriarch, Wang Tingxuan, let out a cold snort, his gaze sinister. He slammed the teacup in his hand heavily onto the table.

Wang Xiongjie jumped in surprise, utterly bewildered.

Just yesterday, Wang Tingxuan had praised him, saying his temperament was steady and that he was the future hope of the Wang Family.

’How could his attitude have taken such a sharp turn after just one day?’

"Grandfather, did I do something wrong?" Wang Xiongjie asked tentatively.

"You have the nerve to ask? Don’t you know what you’ve done?"

Wang Tingxuan’s cold gaze swept over Wang Xiongjie as he spoke in a rage.

Wang Xiongjie carefully retraced his steps from the previous day, but he was more baffled than ever.

’As a disciple the Wang Family is grooming for the future, as the family’s great hope, I’m striving to improve and working as hard as I can! I spend nearly all day cultivating Martial Dao!’

’I haven’t done anything else.’

’The only other thing I did was in the evening, when I took a few of my cousins to the Jasper Pool Immortal Pavilion in the Sutra of Ultimate Immortal Realm. We just sat for a bit, listened to some music, and had a few drinks.’

’I spend the whole day cultivating Martial Dao, and just relax a little in the evening. That’s not so unreasonable, is it?!’

’After all, I didn’t go find some girl from a brothel to spend the night with. It doesn’t interfere with my cultivation, so what could possibly be wrong with it?’

"Grandfather, surely it can’t be because I went to the Sutra of Ultimate Immortal Realm to listen to music? Did I break some taboo?" Wang Xiongjie asked cautiously.

Wang Tingxuan said coldly, "So you knew that going to the Sutra of Ultimate Immortal Realm to listen to music was taboo, yet you went anyway?"

Wang Xiongjie’s heart skipped a beat. He was more confused than ever, completely failing to understand what could be so taboo about listening to music.

’The Sutra of Ultimate Immortal Realm is an establishment under the Sutra of Ultimate Sect, and the two Fairies, Qiluo and Ni Chang, are True Disciples of the Sect. That’s no secret.’

’Getting to listen to music at the Sutra of Ultimate Immortal Realm and meet True Disciples of a Major Sect is the dream of countless talented young men in Linji City. It’s supposed to be a great opportunity, so how could it possibly be taboo?’
