“I’ve long wanted to experience the soul techniques of the Southern Plains’ Xiao family. As expected, experiencing is better than hearing about it. However, Xiao Chenggan, your level isn’t even half as good as Lian Hua’s. Hehe, I really don’t know what those people are thinking. Why do they have to call you the Xiao family’s heir?”
His Three Godly Fingers pointed out, carrying boundless spiritual power as well as Victor’s incomparably tyrannical soul power, whistling over like a tornado!
Bang!
In an instant, a loud bang rang out, and the entire wine shop was torn apart by this powerful force. Countless customers fled in all directions, and there were even some who were unable to dodge in time and were struck to death by the aftershock on the spot!
Xiao Chenggan, who had blocked this attack, had a change in his expression!
Within this dense spiritual power that was not inferior to his, the soul power within was even a level higher than his? If the two of them were to fight, although he had a 70% chance of taking down Victor, he would definitely suffer a backlash. If this matter affected their plans… The gains would not make up for the losses!
With this thought in mind, Xiao Chenggan did not make another move, he opened his mouth to persuade Victor, “I won’t trouble you to worry about the matters of my Xiao family. Victor, retreat. I can treat it as if nothing happened. Xiao Liyue is after all a member of my Xiao family. You’re obstructing me here as a person who has no name and status. As for that youth’s family matters, I will also give you a satisfactory answer.”
After feeling Victor’s extremely overbearing attack, Xiao Chenggan frowned, and his tone gradually eased.
However, upon hearing this, Victor sneered and signaled Nalan Lengling to leave with Ping An. He scoffed and said, “How do you know that this matter has nothing to do with me? Speaking of which, you should call me brother-in-law.”
“You dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
“Hehe, Victor, if you want to anger me with this kind of thing, I advise you to give up. If Xiao Liyue loses her virginity, her aura will change accordingly. I can see this as the two of us are of the same origin.”
“So what? You were the ones who forced her to leave back then, and now you want her back. Did you ask for my permission?
“Cut the crap, Xiao Chenggan. If you are still a man, then fight me. If you win, I will naturally leave. If you lose, then get lost!”
After saying that, Victor stopped talking nonsense. With a thought, the sword spirit appeared in Victor’s palm. It was like a rainbow, incomparably sharp!
Although Victor had only heard of Xiao Chenggan’s strength, he was a genius on the Northern Plains’ Men’s List. Victor could not be careless!
After all, the person in front of him was known as the number one hero of the four plains excluding the Northern Plains!
He was ranked 11th on the Northern Plains’ Men’s List!
As for the top ten, they were all cultivators from the Northern Plains. Only their names and deeds had been heard of, but they had never appeared before.
As for this Men’s List, it was compiled after the Northern Plains counted the top 100 core formation cultivators in the world. As this was overlooked by that old man Guan Xing, it was extremely reliable!
Above the Men’s List, there was also the Earth List. On the Earth List, they were all nascent soul realm cultivators, and there were also 100 people.
On the Heaven List, there were only 33 people in total. They were all the strongest people in the world, soul formation realm cultivators. Therefore, there was no ranking, just a record of their strength!
The reason why the Eastern Plains was the land abandoned by immortals was because of this.
No one was selected to be on the Earth List.
Even on the Man List, only one person was selected, and that person was Victor.
It could be said that Victor had single-handedly supported the backbone of the Eastern Plains!
As for the reason for being on the list, it was very simple.
A few days ago, Victor had single-handedly caused chaos in the Fire Sect. He had completely caused the fire Sect to decline to a third-rate sect. There was not a single nascent soul in the entire sect. From that day onwards, Victor was ranked 45th on the Men’s List!
To be honest, this ranking was very fair.
The main reason why Victor was ranked 45th was that he did not have any record of killing a nascent soul realm cultivator directly. Killing the sect master of the Fire Sect was counted as a one-time thing. At that time, he had not broken through to the core formation realm.
After breaking through to the core formation realm, Victor rarely fought with nascent soul realm cultivators. Therefore, the 45th place was not wrong.
If Victor had personally killed that nascent soul cultivator in the Fire Sect that day, his ranking would very likely be in the top 20.
Of course, Victor still felt that his ranking was a little low. In the entire five plains, there might not even be any core formation realm cultivators that could be Victor’s match. However, it did not matter. As the saying goes, the highest tree in the forest would be the first to be destroyed by the wind. The 45th place was pretty good too.
As for the battle between him and Xiao Chenggan, at first glance, the 45th ranked person versus the 11th ranked person. One had the cultivation at the intermediate stage of the core formation realm, while the other had the cultivation at the completion stage of the core formation realm. On the surface, he seemed to have no chance of winning at all. However, Xiao Chenggan understood… only when one faced Victor truthfully would one understand how terrifying this monster was!
He could be said to have a monstrous qi and blood power and seemed to have mastered many top cultivation techniques. In addition, it was comparable to Xiao Chenggan’s tough soul. Such a comprehensive person was definitely the most difficult opponent to deal with!
Unless…
“Unless I use that cultivation technique, only then will I be able to kill Victor. However, the result that follows is that this time’s plan will be completely ruined…”
Xiao Chenggan’s brows were tightly knitted, and his heart was constantly struggling.
He wanted to bring Xiao Liyue back. This was his personal matter and his emotions. He could not allow his father’s long-planned plan to be ruined just because of him. As the son of the Xiao family, he did not have the right to be angry for a beauty!
At this thought, Xiao Chenggan sighed and loosened his clenched fists, he said, “Forget it, let her go. I have no reason to investigate the matter between Xiao Liyue and my father. As for you, Victor, I will give you a satisfactory answer regarding your disciple. So, you can scram. Fu’er, send the guest out.”
After saying that, Xiao Chenggan became extremely tired. He turned around and left with the Xiao family. Before he left, he left a hundred thousand spirit stones as compensation.
Seeing this scene, Victor pinched Fu’er’s chest as she walked over with her snake-like waist. He smacked his lips and turned around to leave.
After leaving the tavern, Victor immediately found Lian Hua.
Although it might be an illusion, Lian Hua’s condition just now was clearly not right!
If it were any other time, she would never have said those words.
Unless Lian Hua was forcing herself.
She was forcing herself to sever her relationship with the Xiao family. She was forcing Xiao Chenggan to make a move.
Using his perception ability, Victor finally found Lian Hua in an alley.
She looked just like how she was when he found her in the cave, it made one’s heart ache.
“Reluctant?”
“I don’t know…” Hearing Victor’s voice, Lian Hua slowly raised her head and continued, “I don’t know what’s wrong. I’m just… not in a good mood.”
“Is it because of the Xiao family or because of Xiao Chenggan?”
“I don’t know… I clearly want to sever my relationship with the Xiao family, but… why…”
