Chapter 2261: Chapter 2266: You’ve Taken It Too Far

"Dragon Pattern Atlas!"

"Golden-purple dragon pattern! He’s the Young Sect Master of the Imperial Dragon Sect!"

"Haha! This show just got interesting!"

"So it’s the Young Sect Master of the Imperial Dragon Sect! I can’t believe some ignorant fool dared to provoke him."

"Fascinating! Today’s trip was truly worthwhile!"

...

After discovering Liu Jian’s identity, many people began to chuckle.

However, Xia Liu, draped in a black robe, exuded an air of mystery, leaving everyone puzzled and even more curious about his true identity.

The Dragon Pattern Atlas on the outskirts of Heavenly God Village is something everyone understands the significance of.

To have figured out Liu Jian’s identity, yet still daring to stand against him.

This itself is talent.

"Kid! You’ve really blown things up!"

The crowd gathering around naturally made Liu Jian displeased.

Moreover, due to the matter of face.

Today, this matter couldn’t possibly end so easily.

That’s why Liu Jian said Xia Liu had blown things up!

"Blown up? I don’t quite think so. Are you planning to engage in combat within Annihilation City?"

To be honest, Xia Liu indeed hoped Liu Jian would cast a spell.

It would give him a reason to fight back.

Just a mere Golden Pill Cultivator, aside from having the Imperial Dragon Sect backing him.

What’s so amazing about Liu Jian?

Another ignorant cultivator ruined by backing.

"Tsk tsk! Do you think you can provoke me? I won’t fight in Annihilation City, but outside the city, you!"

Liu Jian did not continue speaking.

It’s something everyone understands without needing it to be said aloud.

Even if nothing happens, the Young Sect Master of the Imperial Dragon Sect has already regained some face today.

He’s not too worried either.

Unless Xia Liu insists on seeking death.

"What are you implying? Killing me outside the city?"

Xia Liu asked with confusion.

Liu Jian didn’t respond, suppressing the urge to kill Xia Liu immediately.

"But the small Imperial Dragon Sect, not even part of the Imperial Pavilion, you really have some nerve."

Xia Liu bluntly mocked.

"Kid! I must remind you, words of disaster cause trouble, don’t die without even knowing the reason!"

The old man following Liu Jian couldn’t stand it any longer.

The grudge between Xia Liu and Liu Jian.

He could still be forgiven.

But provoking the Imperial Dragon Sect like this.

He feared he was simply tired of living!

"Tsk, tsk, young man, I advise you to calm down a bit, mind your words."

"Exactly, exactly, the Imperial Dragon Sect is the first great power of the outskirts, what makes you qualified to mock?"

"I really don’t know which sect you’re from, speaking so thoughtlessly, truly interesting!"

...

The surrounding crowd couldn’t help but speak out.

Xia Liu made them understand what true foolishness is!

"Under the Empress’s rule, do you Imperial Dragon Sect really dare kill me?"

Xia Liu couldn’t help but laugh.

If the Imperial Dragon Sect truly dared, then the Empress in this Heavenly God Village would be a joke.

Perhaps that is indeed the reality.

After all, Xia Liu knew very well how the Empress rose to power back in the day.

As a force under the Empress.

Their conduct was indeed evident.

"Haha!"

Liu Jian and the old man exchanged a smile.

Indeed, ignorance is ignorance.

They initially thought Xia Liu had some powerful background.

Now it appears he’s still stuck in the mindset of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

The Empress did lay down rules, that’s true.

But whether anyone enforces them and who supervises is the real crux.

Everyone around the outskirts of Heavenly God Village understands this, they just don’t say it out loud.

"Young Master Liu! I didn’t expect you’d grace my shop, I returned a bit late, my sincerest apologies!"

Just as Xia Liu was about to speak, an anxious voice came from the shop’s entrance.

Soon after, an Early-Stage Golden Pill Cultivator rushed into the shop.

"Manager, you’re finally back."

The shop assistant was almost tearful seeing the manager return.

She had been worried sick just now.

If Xia Liu and Liu Jian had engaged in combat inside the shop because of her.

She would surely lose her position.

Moreover, she might have been held accountable by the Imperial Pavilion.

The future might never have freedom again.

The manager didn’t pay attention to the assistant’s telepathic thoughts, but instead, cautiously served Liu Jian.

First, he moved a chair for him, then offered him tea and the like.

His servility made nearby people shake their heads.

Yet from this matter, it’s not difficult to see the connections Liu Jian and the Imperial Dragon Sect have in Annihilation City.

Understanding the situation, Manager Ge immediately shouted, "Xiaohua, why are you standing there? Quickly bring the map for Young Master Liu!"

"Ah! This..."

Xiaohua thought Manager Ge could be a bit more tactful.

Perhaps saying the map had already been reserved by Liu Jian earlier, and she, being new, was unaware of the details.

But the manager made no pretense or excuse, directly ordering her to hand the map to Liu Jian.

Doesn’t this clearly show all cultivators present the relationship between the shop and the Imperial Dragon Sect?

Xiaohua’s concern wasn’t unfounded.

Many had already developed a distaste for Manager Ge.

Looking down on such a person for life.

"Xiaohua, what are you thinking? Hurry up, come on!"

Manager Ge urged.

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

Just as Xiaohua left the counter, Xia Liu reached out to stop her.

"Kid, do you know what you’re doing!"

Manager Ge immediately scolded.

"I certainly know, but let me ask you, as a manager representing a shop under the Imperial Pavilion, do you know what you’re doing right now?"

"Hmph! I certainly understand! Young Master Liu is the future heir of the Imperial Dragon Sect! The things he desires, how could you compete for them!"

Manager Ge spoke bluntly.

In the end, he was nothing more than an opportunist.

Today, by leveraging his position as manager to build a good relationship with Liu Jian, once the Imperial Dragon Sect becomes part of the Imperial Pavilion.

He’d naturally enjoy some benefits.

He also managed to climb to the position of manager through his wit, if he doesn’t find a strong backer, how could he possibly rise to the top of the Imperial Pavilion in the future?

"Haha! By doing this, do the managers of Seven Stars Shop know? Does the Imperial Pavilion know you’re bootlicking?"

Xia Liu laughed.

That saying is truly accurate: wherever there are people, there’s the Jianghu World.

Even if in Annihilation City they don’t allow fighting.

Even if it’s an industry under the Imperial Pavilion, when someone with a strong background comes here, they can still enjoy preferential treatment ordinary people cannot obtain.

"What’s it to you, let me remind you, if you don’t leave, you will pay the price!"

Manager Ge wasn’t someone easily provoked either.

As long as he maintained good relations with Liu Jian.

With his current position as a manager of Seven Stars Shop, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn’t dare to touch him.

Within Annihilation City, as someone within the Imperial Pavilion’s industry, he indeed had some significant resources at his disposal!

Ultimately, to teach Xia Liu a lesson, it was simply a breeze.

"Pay the price? Really, in a big forest, all kinds of birds exist, you can’t stick to being a good manager, but prefer being someone else’s lackey, you’re truly foolish!"

The last thing Xia Liu feared was a threat.

Two Golden Pill Cultivators, could they defy the heavens?

Even if it’s the Imperial Dragon Sect, so what?

Still not a member of the Imperial Pavilion, where does this much confidence to dominate the outskirts of Heavenly God Village come from?

"I tell you, today you’re definitely dead!"
