85: I don't like villains

"W-what are you doing? I'm telling you, don't mess around. Our Family Head is a Martial Venerable. You'd best not cause trouble."

As Two Hundred Death Warriors rushed out of the bus, a few hooligan youths trembled and hastily retreated several meters.

It was evident that the person was stammering, trembling even as he spoke, and his gaze flickered towards the Two Hundred Death Warriors from time to time.

Mainly, the Aura of the Death Warriors was too cold, as cold as the ice and snow of the bitter winter months.

"You guys stand guard. I'll go inform the Family Head."

The leading youth anxiously glanced at Yu Xiu, then whispered, and ran towards Qiusuo Town without looking back.

"Break one leg each. Bring them. We're going into the city."

Yu Xiu smiled faintly, and the Two Hundred Death Warriors swarmed forward, causing the remaining hooligan youths to collapse onto the ground.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones breaking, mixed with screams, echoed outside the city gate.

Yu Xiu merely glanced at them indifferently, then stepped through the city gate.

As for the youths with broken legs, they were dragged forward by several Death Warriors, their legs scraping on the ground.

After entering the city,

passersby seeing this scene scattered in panic, then stopped to watch.

"Those people being dragged look like the Hai Family's lackeys."

"Who are these people? They're really bold to dare offend the Hai Family."

"Didn't you see the Aura of these people? They're clearly not simple."

"It's just that I don't know if these people are Dragons crossing the river or mere mud loaches."

"I hope these people are Dragons crossing the river, to properly deal with the Hai Family. We've been oppressed by them quite a lot over the years."

"I think it's unlikely. The Hai Family Head is a Martial Venerable. Although these people have a terrifying Aura, they're not old. They're probably only at the Grandmaster Realm. How could they be a match for the Hai Family?"

"You're right. No matter how many there are, a Grandmaster is still just a Grandmaster. The gap between a Grandmaster and a Martial Venerable is too vast."

Yu Xiu naturally heard the discussions of the crowd, but it was just idle chatter and didn't concern him.

Instead, the situation in Qiusuo Town caught his attention.

Here, there were stalls everywhere selling spiritual materials on the streets. Although they weren't Advanced spiritual materials, at most they were B-grade.

But compared to outside the Western Region, they were already considered very valuable resources.

Looking further ahead, he found stalls also selling Vicious Beast bones.

It was truly diverse.

Now Yu Xiu finally understood why these people didn't live in the well-conditioned areas outside the Western Region, but instead chose to reside in this harsh environment, without legal protection.

Outside the Western Region belonged to a governed area, but within the Western Region, it was a lawless land.

This place was different from a Secret Realm City, even though both belonged to the Western Region.

However, Secret Realm Cities were established and developed by the authorities, so they naturally had a governing system.

"The Hai Family is here!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed softly, and Yu Xiu also looked up.

The arrivals were a group of youths, led by a middle-aged man at the Great Grandmaster Realm.

He looked quite imposing, with a gloomy expression. The youth accompanying the middle-aged man was the one who had fled earlier.

At this moment, he was walking and pointing towards Yu Xiu's group, speaking in a low voice.

"It's you who refused to pay the entry fee and even insulted my Hai Family?"

The middle-aged man looked towards Yu Xiu's group. Although he also saw the Two Hundred Death Warriors, with his Realm, he couldn't discern their true Realm.

He merely assumed, based on their age, that Yu Xiu and the others were at the Grandmaster Realm, or perhaps below the Grandmaster Realm as Martial Artists.

Moreover,

in his understanding, it was absolutely impossible for so many Great Grandmaster powerhouses to appear, all in their twenties.

Although the Death Warriors' Aura was terrifying, he only thought they were well-trained.

After all, Great Grandmaster-level Death Warriors were not common for someone like him.

Great Grandmaster powerhouses in their twenties, such Prodigies, in his opinion, would absolutely not appear two hundred at once.

After some analysis,

he only assumed that Yu Xiu and the others were at most Grandmasters, and most should be Martial Artists.

As for Yu Xiu, he guessed he might be a young master from some Family, leading a group of subordinates to show off.

It could only be said that

this was a matter of perspective.

And also a matter of social strata.

"Insult the Hai Family?"

Yu Xiu gave a mocking smile, his gaze coldly sweeping over the youth beside the middle-aged man.

Evidently, it was this person who was adding fuel to the fire, but it wasn't a big deal.

What if he insulted them?

What if he didn't?

These were all minor matters.

However, the youth's actions made Yu Xiu quite displeased.

"Grab him."

Yu Xiu looked at the youth expressionlessly, then said in a flat tone.

As soon as he spoke,

a Martial Venerable Death Warrior behind him rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

Before the Hai Family's middle-aged man could even react, the youth was already being held by the neck by the Martial Venerable Death Warrior and thrown in front of Yu Xiu.

"This!!!"

At this moment, the Hai Family's middle-aged man's face finally changed drastically. He himself was a Great Grandmaster powerhouse, but the Death Warrior's speed was so fast that he couldn't even react. From this, it was clear that the Death Warrior's strength was probably much higher than his own.

Could it be a Martial Venerable?

A Martial Venerable in his twenties?

A terrifying thought suddenly popped into his mind, immediately startling him.

His arrogant and gloomy expression also softened, and his gaze flickered at this moment.

"You added fuel to the fire and insulted the Hai Family."

"Actually, to me, this is not a big deal at all, and I don't care."

"What if there was an insult, what if there wasn't? They are all minor matters."

"However, I really don't like despicable people like you, understand?"

"Next life, remember to control your mouth."

As he spoke, Yu Xiu casually waved his hand, and the Martial Venerable Death Warrior immediately raised his hand and violently twisted the youth's neck.

Until his death, the youth was too afraid to utter a single word, and the terrified expression on his face was permanently frozen at that moment.

"K-killed him?"

"They actually killed the Hai Family's lackey right in front of the Hai Family members. Isn't this slapping the Hai Family's face!"

"If you don't understand, shut up!"

"Didn't you see that youth just now, effortlessly taking Hu San from beside Fourth Master Hai, and Fourth Master Hai didn't even react?"

"You should know that Fourth Master Hai is a Seven-Star Great Grandmaster. If even he didn't react, guess for yourself, what was that youth's strength?"

"At least a Nine-Star Grandmaster, or perhaps, perhaps even a Martial Venerable."

"A Martial Venerable? Absolutely impossible. That youth is at most in his twenties. Even if he started cultivating in his mother's womb, he couldn't have reached it so quickly."

"Idiot, do you still not understand? These people are Death Warriors."

"And the leading young man is likely a direct descendant of a prominent Family. Otherwise, there's no way so many Death Warriors would be assigned to protect him. I guess they must be here for the Qiusuo Realm."

"If my guess is correct, these people are absolutely not to be provoked, not even the Hai Family can afford to provoke them."
