Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 864 - 838: Straight Talk Saves Trouble

Tangyu said, "We are Outer Sect Disciples of Myriad Saints Valley."

"Oh—"

Upon hearing "Myriad Saints Valley", Xiao Xingzhi and Xiao Xingyan were both slightly surprised. Their gazes towards Tangyu became more serious. Fortunately, they were only Outer Sect Disciples. If they had provoked Inner Sect Disciples, it would have been troublesome. Little did they know that Tangyu and Liang Youshan’s strength had long surpassed the Earthly Realm.

"Hmph, so what if they are Outer Sect Disciples of Myriad Saints Valley? If they dare to stop us today, we’ll kill them without hesitation," Xiao Xingyan thought with dark hatred.

Xiao Xingzhi cupped his hands and said, "So, it’s friends from Myriad Saints Valley. My apologies. To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?"

Tangyu said, "Xiao Xingzhi, let’s not beat around the bush. The fact that I’ve come means I’ve investigated the situation clearly. We are all in the same line of work. Your ancient martial Xiao family is long-renowned and highly respected. I believe there is room for negotiation between us."

Xiao Xingzhi raised an eyebrow and said, "Friend Tangyu, just say what you mean. This guessing game isn’t working for me. Are you here about the opening of those mountain peaks?"

"Exactly," replied Tangyu.

Xiao Xingzhi shook his head and said, "I’m really sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t be of much help. My brother and I were just passing through, stopping by to enjoy some tourism. Coincidentally, our family does have a project here, but we were just checking it out on the way. South City International Group is our family business, but it’s managed by my uncle. I never get involved.

Therefore, friend Tangyu, if you want to discuss this opening project, I really can’t do anything. You’ll have to go to South City and talk with my uncle. He’s fully committed to this project. Once he decides on something, no one can stop him. Besides, I’m just a junior, powerless to intervene."

Xiao Xingzhi’s application of the Tai Chi Method was brilliant, effectively blocking Tangyu’s further arguments.

His manner was quite shrewd.

Tangyu naturally didn’t believe Xiao Xingzhi’s words, smiling lightly he said, "For businessmen, it’s all about profit. The most important aspect of a project is its profitability. I’m not familiar with commerce and have not studied this opening project. So, name your price. I’ll compensate you for your profit. How about selling this project to me?"

Xiao Xingzhi shook his head and said, "Friend Tangyu, you misunderstand. It’s not about money. I really can’t make the decision on this matter. How about this, I’ll put you in touch with my second uncle, and you can talk to him."

"Twenty billion," said Tangyu.

Xiao Xingzhi laughed lightly, "Even if you gave me two hundred billion, I’d say the same thing. Friend Tangyu, why force the issue? It’s rare to meet someone of the same road, shouldn’t we sit down, drink, and chat? Why discuss these unpleasant matters?"

Xiao Xingzhi’s attitude confirmed to Tangyu that the Xiao family had indeed targeted the ancient temple and likely discovered its secrets, prompting them to seize it at all costs.

For an Ancient Martial Artist, a haven like this was priceless. Even two thousand billion wouldn’t compare.

"If we met during leisure, a good drink would be delightful. Unfortunately, I’m currently preoccupied. Since friend Xiao Xingzhi insists on playing dumb, let me be blunt. That ancient temple is not simple. Trying to possess it may not bring good fortune to your Xiao family and might invite disaster," Tangyu said.

Xiao Xingzhi frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He initially thought Tangyu was merely trying to prevent the villagers from the opening, unexpectedly he also discovered the secret of the ancient temple.

The conversation had already become very clear, and pretending ignorance any further wouldn’t be respectable.

Being hot-tempered, Xiao Xingyan slammed the table and glared at Tangyu, "Hmph, it’s easy to speak high-mindedly. In the end, you just want to take it for yourselves. What’s the big deal? Do you think we don’t know the situation? Saying such things, don’t you find yourself shameless? Ridiculous! You think you can snatch from our Xiao family? Now that you’ve been so clear, let me be frank, our Xiao family is determined to seize the ancient temple."

"Do not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If soft words don’t work, I will resort to force. I can’t guarantee what will happen then, but I can warn you responsibly: whoever blocks me—dies!"

Tangyu laughed. Such threats didn’t concern him. Liang Youshan also smirked disdainfully at Xiao Xingyan and said provocatively, "Many have said the same thing to me, but I’m still alive and well. If you have the strength, go ahead and try."

Xiao Xingzhi added, "Three friends, there’s no need for more words. Our Xiao family is determined to acquire the ancient temple. If you wish to seize it from us, let me advise against it. Even if you are disciples of Myriad Saints Valley, the Valley would not condone such actions. Myriad Saints Valley will not support you. So, do not seek trouble for yourselves. My brother has a fiery temper, but I can still be reasonable."

"It is because I don’t want to make things too rigid. If things can be solved peacefully, I prefer to solve them peacefully, even if it costs a bit more money. If things cannot be solved peacefully, then don’t blame me. Within three days, I will take the ancient temple. You should go back and persuade those villagers; if rivers of blood flow, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Tangyu also got angry, coldly staring at Xiao Xing and said: "You can say such things? I thought everyone in the Xiao family was righteous, but you are also ruthless and heartless. It seems you truly intend to stop at nothing?"

"That’s right, stop at nothing," Xiao Xing said.

Tangyu said: "So, it means there’s no room for negotiation?"

"If you cooperate well, then there’s room for negotiation. If you want to snatch food from my hand, then there’s no room for negotiation. The path is entirely up to your choice. Two paths, you choose which one to take. The final deadline of three days, I’m a man of my word. If you remain obstinate, I will flatten Wan Shan Village," Xiao Xing said with a face full of killing intent.

"Humph," Tangyu also angrily laughed coldly: "Then I would like to see what capabilities you have to so recklessly end lives."

After saying that, Tangyu attacked directly.

Xiao Xingyan had been poised to attack, seeing Tangyu move, he suddenly roared furiously: "You still dare to make a move, just courting death; today I will fulfill your wish."

But as soon as Xiao Xingyan attacked, he felt something wrong, sensed a dangerous aura, his face changed immediately.

When Tangyu’s fist collided with Xiao Xingyan’s, his expression changed drastically, he screamed in his heart: "Not good."

But it was too late, like an egg hitting a stone. The powerful force exploding from Tangyu’s fist surged fiercely like overturning seas, directly sending Xiao Xingyan flying backward, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood in midair, hitting the wall heavily, and rolling to the ground, his face extremely pale and ugly.

One hit and he was severely injured, unable to rise.

Xiao Xingyan was only at the sixth layer of the Innate Realm; for his age, he was indeed considered an outstanding talent. Even in the Outer Sect of Myriad Saints Valley, he would be very excellent. This near-arrogant confidence made him suffer a major loss.

Looking at Tangyu, his gaze changed dramatically, turning cold and grim.

Tangyu coldly glanced at Xiao Xingyan still lying on the ground and said: "If I hadn’t held back, you would already be a cripple."

Liang Youshan also disdainfully glanced at Xiao Xingyan, which made Xiao Xingyan’s face even more uncomfortable, burning with unprecedented shame.

Xiao Xing’s face also became extremely serious; from the earlier exchange, it was clear that Tangyu must have the strength of the Earthly Realm. An Earthly Realm expert couldn’t be an Outer Sect disciple of the Myriad Saints Valley but an Inner Sect disciple. Tangyu’s strength greatly exceeded his expectations, making him feel like facing a significant threat.

He was also in the Earthly Realm, not afraid, but now he didn’t dare to underestimate Tangyu at all.

"Tangyu, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to bully my Xiao family, or are you relying on being a disciple of the Myriad Saints Valley to act arrogantly and lawlessly?" Xiao Xing coldly stared at Tangyu, ready to strike at any moment.

Tangyu looked at Xiao Xing and said: "I came here today to sincerely negotiate with you; my intentions should be clear. You are pushing our conversation to a dead end, leaving no room for further discussion. So, I can only use some drastic measures, just like you said, use some means."

"So, you’re determined to tear face and start a war with our Xiao family?" Xiao Xing’s face cold and his eyes flashing with icy light. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Tangyu lightly smiled coldly, directly looking at Xiao Xing: "If you want war, I will accompany you. However, I must reiterate three points: first, the villagers of Wan Shan Village do not want to sell the mountain to you; second, I am not after the ancient temple and won’t touch it; third, I stress again, the situation of the ancient temple is not as simple as you think. If you believe it can be developed into a blessed place, you are gravely mistaken."

"If you insist on not believing me, there’s nothing I can do. But I make it very clear, as long as I am here, I won’t let anyone touch the ancient temple. The consequences are something your Xiao family can’t bear and may even affect the entire Ancient Martial World."

"Don’t think my words are just alarmist talk; I don’t have the leisure to mess around with you. It’s your choice whether to advance or retreat. If you want war, I advise you one more thing: your Xiao family, I truly don’t put in my eyes."
