Supreme Martial God of the City-Chapter 319 - 315: You Don’t Have (Seeking Monthly Ticket and Subscription)
Chapter 319: Chapter 315: You Don’t Have (Seeking Monthly Ticket and Subscription)
Mu Shui was completely at a loss for words. Compared to the conditions he had just promised Shen Cang, those offered by Sima Yan and Feng Li were utterly disparaging.
Seeing Mu Shui somewhat yielding, Mu Yang felt a slight sense of relief, as this meant that Mu Yunxi might escape from this calamity.
Although the Mu Family appeared strong, this was only relative to families outside the Capital City. In a place where century-old families were as numerous as trees, the Mu Family was merely considered upper-middle class, making it impossible for them to contend with colossal entities like the Sima Family and Feng Family.
"Alas, I can’t tell if it’s good or bad. If this bottle of Spiritual Origin Pills falls into the hands of those two families, another storm will surely arise."
"Can our Mu Family really withstand this?"
Mu Yang glanced at the Spiritual Origin Pill, feeling somewhat sentimental despite his usual disdain for those people’s methods.
But he had to admit that everything they did was for the sake of the Mu Family’s prosperity, devoid of any selfish intentions.
Mu Shui and the others all looked towards Shen Cang, waiting for his decision.
Among them, Feng Li was the most confident. The Feng Family, as a martial arts giant in the Capital City, had thrived for hundreds of years, and they currently had living Grandmasters. Such was their height of power.
Although the conditions offered by Sima Yan were also enticing, the Sima Family didn’t have Grandmaster Martial Artists at Earth-level High Stage, making them inferior to Feng Li.
At this moment, Shen Cang slowly put down his cup, a thin smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he pointed a finger at Feng Li.
"Ha ha, Young Master Shen is indeed a wise man!!"
"Pleasure doing business."
"Sima Yan, you can head home and sleep soundly, ha ha ha."
Seeing Shen Cang point at him, Feng Li laughed heartily, a look of pride all over his face.
Mu Shui flinched hard, his expression darkening. But this result wasn’t unexpected for him; if it were up to him, the Feng Family indeed seemed like the best choice.
However, just as Feng Li was basking in his triumph, Shen Cang shook his head and then pointed at Sima Yan. Sima Yan widened his eyes, considering why Shen Cang chose the Sima Family.
"My choice is - the Mu Family!!"
Shen Cang said calmly, pointing a finger at Uncle Mu Shui from the Mu Family.
"What?!!"
"The Mu Family?? What qualifies them to compete with us?"
Sima Yan and Feng Li simultaneously snapped their heads up, appearing somewhat enraged, as they never took the Mu Family seriously.
"The Mu Family has something you two do not."
"So I choose the Mu Family. You both can leave now!"
Shen Cang said with an air of tranquility and composure.
"Impossible, how could the Mu Family have something we don’t!!"
"What kind of joke is this? The Mu Family, in our eyes, is just a slightly larger ant."
"If none of us can obtain this Spiritual Origin Pill!!"
Feng Li, notorious for being a madman in the Capital City, gave Shen Cang a dangerous glance, his voice low and ominous.
Hearing Feng Li speak in such a manner, Mu Shui was also enraged. Although what he said was true and the Mu Family was indeed inferior to the Feng Family, his face flushed red.
"What, you want to threaten Shen Cang?"
"Mu Shui, I’ll cooperate with the Mu Family."
"I have only one condition, and that is her!!"
Shen Cang lightly tapped the table with his hand, fixing his gaze on Uncle Mu Shui while pointing to Mu Yunxi.
Sima Yan and Feng Li followed Shen Cang’s hand and saw Mu Yunxi, her head lowered and expression dejected.
"Isn’t that..."
Feng Li pointed to Mu Yunxi, scratching his chin in thought. Given his notorious madness, it was normal for him not to recognize Mu Yunxi immediately, but he had seen some of her photos.
"Ha ha ha, Young Master Shen has quite an appetite. Isn’t this the eldest lady of the Mu Family, one of the two great beauties of the Capital City?"
"I heard she was once engaged to the eldest young master of the Long Family!"
"You want her?? Are you deliberately going against the Long Family??"
"Believe me, if I spread the word back in the Capital City, both your Shen Family and the Cangtian Group will be wiped out immediately."
Sima Yan clapped his forehead, smiling playfully as he spoke, for it was normal to not recognize Mu Yunxi instantly given her downcast expression and pale face.
However, upon closer inspection, he quickly recognized her. Few people had regarded the marriage between the Mu Family and the Long Family favorably back then, as the Mu Family’s intentions were clear to everyone.
At that time, the Long Family wasn’t particularly strong, at best comparable to the Feng Family, or even slightly inferior. However, since the Dragon Family Ancestor had a serendipitous encounter and successfully became an Elder of the Heaven Pavilion, the Long Family rose to the second position among the Capital City’s super families, just below the Mo Family.
The Mo Family had Mo Yanjin, a heavenly pride, and the Mo Family Ancestor was also an Elder of the Heaven Pavilion. The Long Family was far from their level and had little hope of surpassing them in this lifetime.
Mu Shui’s heart skipped a beat. Although they initially intended to use Mu Yunxi as a bargaining chip, they hesitated due to the Long Family.
"Oh oh!!!"
"I remember now, she’s the one engaged to the eldest young master of the Long Family!"
"Young Master Shen, you’re quite the brave one!"
"You probably don’t know the identity of the Dragon Family Ancestor!"
"He is an Elder of the Divine Martial Pavilion, virtually standing at the pinnacle of the world. Do you think your insignificant Shen Family can shake the heavens?"
"For a woman, you risk your entire Shen Family being buried with you."
Feng Li’s previous repressed anger cascaded down like a waterfall, making him feel exceedingly satisfied.
"Heh heh."
"A mere Heavenly Rank Martial Artist is nothing but an ant in my master’s eyes."
"If he dares to provoke me, the entire Long Family will be buried instead."
"Now, you can both leave!!"
Shen Cang said fearlessly and calmly.
"Hmph, refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!!"
"Sima Yan, you know how precious this elixir is."
"Since neither of us can get it, why not strike by force and seize control of Young Master Shen."
Feng Li turned to Sima Yan and spoke loudly, without any cover, blatantly threatening.
"Elder Xuan....."
Sima Yan gave Feng Li a deep look, recognizing his madness, then whispered to Elder Xuan beside him.
"Master, it’s worth the risk."
"I don’t sense any martial artist aura from Shen Cang. He’s either at a higher realm than me, or he has no cultivation."
"We’ve already been dragged into this by this madman Feng Li."
"If Shen Cang returns unscathed, the elixir will never be ours."
"It’s worth a try; he probably has no cultivation, given he just returned from abroad. I believe it’s worth the risk."
Elder Xuan spoke with a conspiratorial tone.
For a moment, the entire living room fell silent.
Little did they know, a power within Shen Cang was like a ravenous beast, fixating on the three of them, as if ready to break free and devour them.
"Interesting!!!"
"It’s been a long time since I last fought, and today I shall make you drink blood again."
Shen Cang murmured softly, looking at his slender, pale hands.
