115: New Members Ceremony

“Doctor Liu, hand this person over to me. I will make him wish for death but be unable to die, wish for life but be unable to live. He will pay a blood debt for all the people of City 39 he harmed!”

Liu Jiangyi nodded, “Yes, that’s why I brought him here.”

“Liu Jiangyi, I, Ru Yun, only betrayed you once. Why are you doing this to me? May you die a horrible death! A horrible death!!!”

“Ru Yun, why is your memory so bad? Have you forgotten that this isn’t our first meeting?”

Ru Yun was startled.

Then he suddenly remembered something.

“You… you’re that doctor who went to the Shen Family that day!?”

“Heh heh, at least you have some discernment. Enjoy the rest of your life here, Ru Yun… Great Master!”

Ru Yun was dragged into the basement outside the courtyard by Wan Jiang and his wife.

He cried hysterically, his heart already filled with endless regret…

He had always walked on thin ice in this life, never stumbling.

He only stumbled twice, and unexpectedly, both times were at Liu Jiangyi’s hands…

And this second stumble would cost him his dog’s life.

“Ding, mission complete, mission rewards issued.”

Boom!

A torrent of violent Spiritual Qi, like a bursting dam, exploded within his Dantian, rapidly sweeping through his entire body and swiftly elevating Liu Jiangyi’s Realm.

Five minutes later.

As everything returned to calm, Liu Jiangyi’s Realm advanced to the ninth level of Martial Saint!

At the same time, Liu Jiangyi’s various abilities were strengthened.

The Thousand-mile Eye and Wind-following Ear were even enhanced to a range of three thousand meters, terrifyingly powerful!

…

Hantie City Outer City Central Plaza.

The central plaza, spanning a thousand square meters, was already packed with people, a sea of humanity.

Liu Jiangyi once again transformed into Liu Neng, a capable young man in his early twenties, appearing among the crowd.

As for Ya Ya, Liu Jiangyi had her find a hotel and wait for him.

She didn’t have a token and couldn’t participate in the Ceremony, and it was uncertain whether Chen Yuan would come.

If Ya Ya’s identity was exposed, not only would Ya Ya be doomed, but he would also definitely not survive.

“Liu Shan?”

At this moment, a strange man’s voice sounded behind Liu Jiangyi.

Liu Jiangyi initially paid no mind, but the man clapped him on the shoulder.

Liu Jiangyi looked back, only to see a richly dressed Young Master standing behind him.

The Young Master was handsome and dashing, and beside him was a beautiful woman in a black dress.

The Young Master’s Realm was at the third level of Great Grandmaster, while the girl’s strength was slightly weaker, yet also at the first level of Great Grandmaster.

Liu Jiangyi, however, completely suppressed his strength, making it impossible for outsiders to discern.

Secret arts for hiding cultivation were not uncommon, and some Magic Treasures could also achieve it, so it was not a rare thing.

“Liu Shan? Are you mute, you bastard, not saying anything?” the man asked, annoyed.

Liu Jiangyi’s heart trembled.

Clearly, this person in front of him recognized this face.

Was the name of this face Liu Shan?

Judging by the other party’s tone, he seemed to have a grudge against Liu Shan?

Liu Jiangyi was filled with helplessness.

He had intended to keep a low profile, but who would have thought he’d run into an enemy?

What should he do?

Liu Jiangyi didn’t know the person in front of him at all!

However!

Many people around looked over at this moment.

“It’s Young Master Feng and Miss Feng, they actually came too!”

“I heard early on that Young Master Feng and Miss Feng were also coming to participate in this year’s Sermon Ceremony, I didn’t expect it to be true!”

“Damn! I heard that Feng Zhiyuan has already broken through to the third level of Great Grandmaster, and his sister Feng Lu has also reached the terrifying Realm of the first level of Great Grandmaster. If they both participate in the competition, the top two spots will be out of our reach!”

“I’m also speechless. Don’t big Families usually disdain participating in the Immortal Sword Sect’s Sermon Ceremony? Why are they coming to snatch Opportunities from us?”

“You don’t understand, do you? Young Master Feng and Miss Feng have been in seclusion for five years. They just came out and urgently need an Opportunity to make a name for themselves, and then smoothly enter a department with real power!”

“Damn! If I had known, I wouldn’t have spent a fortune buying a spot for this year. Isn’t this just coming along for the ride?”

Everyone complained, which allowed Liu Jiangyi to learn the identities of these two.

Young Master Feng of the Feng Family?

Although Liu Jiangyi didn’t know his own identity, since he was standing opposite them and no one was discussing him, it proved that he was definitely not a big shot.

Moreover, when Liu Jiangyi robbed these two, Liu Shan and his female companion were dressed very simply, not at all like rich people.

However, their temperament was decent, and their origins were also extraordinary.

With this thought, Liu Jiangyi roughly knew what to do.

He sneered, “You’ve been in seclusion for so many years, and you come out to find trouble with me. Are you bored out of your mind?”

“Heh heh, find trouble with you?” Feng Zhiyuan sneered, “Do you think you, an orphan of the Liu Family, a mere Sixth-Rank Martial Artist waste, are worth me, Feng Zhiyuan, specially finding trouble with?”

“I warn you, don’t you dare act arrogant with me. Your Liu Family is ruined, you no longer have any backing. If you dare to oppose me again like when we were kids, I’ll kill you!”

Liu Jiangyi understood the situation even more clearly.

So this Liu Shan also came from an extraordinary background, but unfortunately, his Family declined, and his own talent was also poor.

But when they were young, the Liu Family should not have been inferior to the Feng Family, so Liu Shan and Feng Zhiyuan had some conflicts.

Liu Jiangyi smiled faintly, “Just as you don’t want to bother with me, I’m too lazy to bother with you.”

“Let’s just go our separate ways.”

Liu Jiangyi naturally didn’t want to deal much with Liu Shan’s enemies.

However!

Feng Zhiyuan refused to stop there.

He looked at the token in Liu Jiangyi’s hand and sneered, “Oh, with your strength as a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, you’re still coming to participate in the Sermon Ceremony?”

“This token wouldn’t be something you got by selling all the relics your parents left you, would it?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, truly a fool. With your cultivation, what good will coming do? Make a fool of yourself? Hahahahaha…”

Liu Jiangyi chose to directly ignore Feng Zhiyuan’s words.

He had no enmity with Feng Zhiyuan and didn’t want to cause trouble, so there was no need to pay attention to this idiot.

Seeing that Liu Jiangyi didn’t even retort, Feng Zhiyuan felt bored.

“Kid, you’re not giving up, are you? Then I’ll personally watch how you get eliminated!”

Feng Zhiyuan left this sentence and strode away with Feng Lu.

Feng Lu didn’t say a word the whole time, not even glancing at Liu Jiangyi.

“What an idiot.” Liu Jiangyi sneered inwardly.

Third level of Great Grandmaster?

With that cultivation, he dares to bark in front of a ninth-level Martial Saint like him?

If Liu Jiangyi wanted to, he could easily slap this idiot to death.

…

The crowd in the plaza grew larger and larger.

About ten minutes later.

A group of people dressed in white Daoist robes walked in from the back of the plaza.

They carried two large white stones and more than a dozen blood-red iron cages, placing them in the center of the venue.

Most of these people’s cultivation was at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.

Among them, five people’s cultivation reached the Great Grandmaster Realm.

The young man leading them, however, had reached the first level of Martial Saint cultivation.
