Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 865 - 839: The Xiao Family’s Dilemma

Although Tangyu’s words sounded extremely arrogant and presumptuous, Tangyu had every confidence to say such things.

What does this mean?

This is a symbol of strength. Only with strength do you have the qualifications and confidence to speak such big words. In the Ancient Martial World, strength is paramount, and everything must be spoken with strength.

Although Tangyu was currently only at the Seventh Layer of the Earthly Realm, with the assistance of Yin Yang Swordsmanship and Langya Sword Art, Tangyu had some confidence to fight against an Eighth Layer master. It was even possible to contend with a Ninth Layer master’s strength for at least a chance to save his life.

Apart from the Nine Heavens Ten Earth forces, other ancient martial forces probably did not have masters of the Eighth and Ninth Layers of the Earthly Realm.

Although the Xiao family had a decent force with a few masters in the Earthly Realm, they probably didn’t have any experts of the Eighth or Ninth Layer. Therefore, Tangyu’s words were quite realistic and had not the slightest hint of boasting.

Xiao Xingzhi’s face remained cold and stern, as he fixed his gaze on Tangyu. In truth, he was somewhat suspicious in his heart, fearing that what Tangyu said was true, that this ancient temple was not simple at all. Otherwise, the people from Qi Wang Cave would not go to such lengths to force the Xiao family to secretly take down the ancient temple, with the apparent purpose of opening it to conceal their true intent. Clearly, they did not want the Ancient Martial World to discover their plans, which is why they were making a show of it.

But Xiao Xingzhi also had his own unspeakable difficulties, and he could only grit his teeth and stay with it to the end.

"Since you insist on obstructing my Xiao family, there’s nothing more to say. Let our skills speak for us. Let me see if you have the right to talk so big," Xiao Xingzhi said no more and struck with a fist as swift as a shooting star.

He was also in the Earthly Realm, and his punch was certainly formidable.

However, Tangyu remained calm and unhurried, his face serene and composed. His palm reached out lightly, and with a thud, Xiao Xingzhi’s fist was firmly grasped by Tangyu and immobilized in the air. The storm that seemed to be on the verge of breaking had suddenly been extinguished.

"Hmph—" Xiao Xingzhi’s brow furrowed deeply and his expression changed slightly, looking at Tangyu with astonished eyes. He couldn’t withdraw his fist. Even with all his strength, he couldn’t budge it. A chill ran through his heart, realizing he had severely underestimated Tangyu. Tangyu’s strength was actually far above his own.

Moreover, it seemed Tangyu was significantly stronger.

Tangyu looked at Xiao Xingzhi and said, "I have said before, your strength is far inferior to mine, so don’t engage in such futile battles. I can tell you have a good heart and should be a civilized person, not one who delights in doing evil. But in this matter, I don’t understand why you won’t back down?"

Xiao Xingzhi replied, "Our paths are different, so we cannot work together."

Tangyu shook his head and released Xiao Xingzhi, saying, "I really don’t want to solve this matter with violence. The ancient temple is my bottom line. I said no one could touch it, and that means no one can touch it. If anyone tries, they have to get my permission first. If the Xiao family insists on its course, don’t blame me for being rude. Give up the ancient temple, and things will calm down. How about that?"

Xiao Xingzhi’s heart was filled with bitterness, and he gave a helpless wry smile. "Giving up is impossible. Unless my Xiao family is destroyed, otherwise the ancient temple is something the Xiao family is determined to obtain."

Tangyu’s brows furrowed deeply again, and anger bubbled within him. Why was it impossible to talk sense into him?

Must he really be forced to start a massacre?

What on earth was the Xiao family thinking?

Liang Youshan’s explosive temper couldn’t hold back any longer. He jumped up and said, "Boss, why bother talking so much with them? These stubborn fools won’t listen. If they don’t submit, we beat them until they do. If they don’t leave, we beat them until they go. You’re kind to them, and they don’t appreciate it at all. I can’t hold back anymore."

With that, Liang Youshan immediately struck at Xiao Xingzhi, aiming a punch right at his chest.

Xiao Xingzhi squinted and gritted his teeth to meet the attack. But he underestimated Liang Youshan’s strength. Although Liang Youshan was only in the Third Layer of the Earthly Realm, he was not someone Xiao Xingzhi, who was in the First Layer, could compare to.

Without much suspense, Liang Youshan’s punch landed heavily on Xiao Xingzhi’s chest, sending him flying backward. Fortunately, it wasn’t as embarrassing as the time with Xiao Xingyan. He merely staggered back a few steps before stabilizing himself with a foot pressed against the wall, his chest aching and almost spitting blood.

Xiao Xingzhi’s heart filled with even more bitterness. How could these two be so strong?

Liang Youshan didn’t stop. He charged again. "Don’t want to stop, huh? I’ll make sure your Xiao family knows no peace. Damn it, nice words don’t work, so it’s time for force."

"Stop!" Xiao Xingyan suddenly roared in anger.

Liang Youshan halted and cast a cold, sneering glance at Xiao Xingyan. "What is it? Ready to back down?"

Xingyan Xiao bit his lip and said, "Do you think our Xiao family wants this? We are also forced into this, we have our difficulties."

"Shut up, Xingyan, enough." Xingzhi Xiao interrupted sternly.

Tangyu frowned immediately, "What do you mean? Speak clearly."

Liang Youshan also looked at Xingyan Xiao with a puzzled expression, wondering if the situation was even more complicated.

Xingyan Xiao ignored Xingzhi Xiao but looked at Tangyu and said, "Since you are so powerful, go deal with the people from Qi Wang Cave. We are forced by them to take this ancient temple. Qi Wang Cave has already given us an ultimatum, if we don’t capture this ancient temple within three days, they will massacre our Xiao family, erasing us. While our Xiao family is not weak, we are not a match for Qi Wang Cave. Don’t forget, Qi Wang Cave is one of the Jingshan Sixteen Caves." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Aren’t you disciples of Myriad Saints Valley? If you want to protect this ancient temple, you should annihilate Qi Wang Cave. Otherwise, even if our Xiao family withdraws, do you think this place will be peaceful? Our Xiao family has always been a reputable and righteous clan. If we were not forced, how could we do such a thing?"

"Oh, is there such a situation?" Liang Youshan was also astonished.

Tangyu was silent for a moment, then said, "What is the strength of Qi Wang Cave?"

Xingyan Xiao said grumpily, "How would I know? In any case, our Xiao family is far inferior to them."

Tangyu looked at Xingzhi Xiao and said, "Since your Xiao family has its difficulties, why didn’t you speak up? Why not seek help from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earthly Forces?"

Xingzhi Xiao laughed sarcastically, shaking his head, "Seek help? We thought about it, but you know the current situation in the Ancient Martial World. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earthly Forces are also overwhelmed, focusing on the Dark World and the Yao Race. How could they have the energy to care about our Ancient Martial World’s request for help? The entire Ancient Martial World is in chaos, there is unrest everywhere, how can the Nine Heavens and Ten Earthly Forces manage? If the request for help succeeds, it’s fine, but what if it doesn’t?"

"Does our Xiao family have any chance of survival? So, for the sake of my family, we had to bear the humiliation and accept it, doing things for Qi Wang Cave. For survival, I had to do some things against my will."

Tangyu thought for a moment and nodded understandingly, "Indeed, with the current chaos in the Ancient Martial World, every force is overwhelmed and everyone is on edge. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earthly Forces indeed might not be able to help you. I apologize, it seems I misunderstood you. From your perspective, you didn’t do anything wrong. But from our perspective, we can’t let you act recklessly. Now that your difficulties are clear, we have a common enemy."

"I said I would take care of this, so I will. I will find a way to deal with Qi Wang Cave. But I also hope your Xiao family can cooperate with me. Only together can we effectively deal with Qi Wang Cave."

Xingyan Xiao laughed mockingly, "Deal with Qi Wang Cave? Just the two of you? Hmph, excuse me for being blunt, but you two are not enough to face Qi Wang Cave."

Liang Youshan pursed his lips in displeasure, "Kid, you look down on us, don’t you? It’s fine if you look down on me, but you can’t look down on my boss. My boss is now at the Seventh Level of the Earthly Realm and has considerable means. He can fight even against someone at the Eighth Layer. Moreover, if we really can’t manage, can’t we call for help? It’s ridiculous, with our network, we can call upon a master at the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm at any time."

"No matter how strong Qi Wang Cave is, can it have a master of the Imaginary Realm?"

Xingyan Xiao was instantly at a loss for words, looking at Tangyu with an incredibly strange gaze. He was really shocked, this guy is at the Seventh Level of the Earthly Realm?

This is terrifying, he looks only a year or two older than me at most.

Xingzhi Xiao was also extremely surprised, looking at Tangyu. A Seventh Level Earthly Realm at such a young age, this is unheard of. If so, his status in Myriad Saints Valley must indeed be high. As an inner sect disciple of Myriad Saints Valley, calling someone to help is indeed quite easy.

Xingzhi Xiao’s heart was moved. If Tangyu could really help with all his might, it’s not impossible to contend with Qi Wang Cave, it’s also a way to survive.

Otherwise, there is no way, we would only sit and wait for certain death. But such a huge matter also makes him cautious.

Tangyu saw Xingzhi Xiao’s anxiety and said, "Don’t worry, we at Myriad Saints Valley are already fully committed to dealing with the Dark World. Since this involves Jingshan Sixteen Caves, it’s our target as well. I said this ancient temple involves significant secrets, it’s not something anyone can covet. We won’t let Qi Wang Cave have its way. If I can’t handle it, I will invite experts to help."

"It’s not impossible to even invite our elders from Myriad Saints Valley to come forward."

Upon hearing Tangyu’s words, Xingzhi Xiao felt reassured as if he had taken a calming pill.

In this way, this gives his Xiao family a glimpse of hope for survival. Otherwise, in this turmoil, their fate would likely be destruction.

"Good, in that case, our Xiao family will fully cooperate with you. If we don’t succeed, we will die trying." Xingzhi Xiao nodded solemnly.

Tangyu smirked slightly, "Rest assured, there will only be success, no dying trying."
