“What’s the matter? Shen Bi has been defeated?”

“Well, it seems so.”

The non spiritual awakeners couldn’t understand what was going on in front of them. In their vision, they only saw Li Xianyu roaring at Shen Bi. Then, he was confused, and then the qi from the sword pierced through his knee. He was then defeated.

In the perception of the spiritual awakeners, Li Xianyu’s roar just now could be described as terrifying. Even the Taoist masters who had refined their spirit of Yin were scared. If they stood in Shen Bi’s position, the horrifying result would be the same.

This person’s spiritual power was so terrible.

“Li Xianyu wins!” the referee announced the result loudly.

Not counting the time they bantered before the contest, the battle lasted only two seconds. The son of the Shen family, who was highly regarded by everyone, was swiftly defeated by Li Xianyu, the Gokudo Path inheritor.

The women could not accept this reality and cried out.

“We won, we won!” The little loli, Tongtong, happily clapped. “It’s all my credit! It’s all my credit.”

When she fed the cat, Thunderbolt Battle Lady grabbed her little face and said, “Say that Li Xianyu would be killed swiftly, and Li Xianyu can’t last for a second.”

The little loli obediently did, and the result was surprising. Li Xianyu actually defeated his opponent swiftly.

However, it had nothing to do with Tongtong. Her power was the ability to curse. Since she was young and awakened too early, something unexpected happened to her power. She turned into a person whose words were toxic. Her curse could only be exerted by saying good words. Anyway, a curse was still a curse, not a blessing buff.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady was elated. “Hey, I haven’t seen him for a month. Li Xianyu has made so much progress?”

Lady Killer sighed. “What’s the matter? What’s with this terrible mental power? Do I feel like I’m in a dream alone?”

Tentacle Demon said, “You’re not alone.”

Their knowledgeable colleagues were really surprised. They were the most aware of Li Xianyu’s skill level.

“Eh, where’s Mother Hua Yang?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady turned around and found that Hua Yang was gone.

“He has horrifying mental power. I don’t know why for the time being. I think he got another cheat code.” Sakurai Yukinako, with keen insight, took out a small book and carefully recorded the details.

She could always see through key issues earlier than others, and insight was her innate talent. Sakurai Tokimasa often said that if she was born in ancient times, she would have been a famous master of swordsmanship.

There was another person with such unique talent in history, that is, Miyamoto Musashi, the swordsman.

Amidst the noise, the Shen family rushed out from the audience’s area, stepped onto the challenge arena, and looked at the situation of Shen Bi. All of them were livid.

“Stop!” a Shen family member shouted.

“Yes?” Li Xianyu paused and looked back expressionlessly.

“You dispelled the primordial spirit of the Shen family’s eldest son, and you want to leave just like that?!” another Shen family member shouted angrily.

As soon as the words came out, the audience was silent. The noise was like thunder.

In the demon descendants’ community, the dispelling of the primordial spirit was equivalent to a person’s soul disintegrating. In the words of the medical community, the person had become a vegetable.

“This madman!” Shentu Junyan got angry and clenched his fist.

“Junyan, calm down,” the old man beside him said lightly.

“How can I calm down, Grandpa? That’s my friend.” Shentu Junyan’s face was full of anger, his teeth were clenched and his chewing muscles were raised.

“I don’t need you to be the avenger. If you want to be angry for your friend, it’s okay to wait. Don’t worry.” The old man laughed. The old man was Shentu Changgong, the current leader of the Shentu family. At his age, he should have retired, but all of his children were mediocre and useless. Shentu Changgong was hesitant to pass over his title to his incompetent offspring. Fortunately, there were several talents in his grandchildren. In addition to the most favored Shentu Junyan, several of his cousins were also good targets.

The next head of the Shentu family was destined to be one of his grandchildren.

Shen Kuo, the head of the Shen family, came here surrounded by many ethnic groups. He was originally spectating in the middle-aged group. Compared to the youth category, the middle-aged group with higher overall quality naturally had a better outlook.

He heard the bad news, which was a bolt from the blue. Hurriedly, he rushed over.

After seeing the condition of his eldest son, he was shaking and turned white. Shen Bi was gifted and was a potential future leader of the family. From the perspective of the head of the family, the family lost an excellent candidate. From the perspective of the father, he lost his beloved son.

A Shen family member whispered in his ear, and Shen Kuo immediately said in a high voice, “Master, he won by unconventional means and broke the rules of the conference.”

In fact, the words were said to the audience. The referee said in a deep voice, “Benefactor Shen, you must have evidence to speak.”

“As we all know, the Li family’s power is not mental power. Li Xianyu is only a 20-year-old boy. How could he have such strong mental power?” Shen Kuo looked at the referee, and then looked at the audience. “This is the evidence. Everyone can judge if what I said was reasonable.”

“That was too despicable.”

“Fuck, if he had the ability, he should fight openly and in an upright manner. Why would he resort to tricks? Despicable person.”

“It’s not necessarily the use of unconventional means. How could I not find that he used unconventional means when so many pairs of eyes were looking at him?”

“What do you know? Do you know the mystery of the Unparalleled War Spirit? You don’t know anything about her. How do you insist that she didn’t collude with him in secret?”

“But the Unparalleled War Spirit is not a spiritual awakener. I still can make this judgment.”

Most people were more inclined towards Shen Kuo. If something went wrong, there must have been a demon. Li Xianyu’s mental power had exceeded their expectations.

The referee frowned. “It’s not up to anyone to speculate. Unless you have evidence that he used unconventional means, Li Xianyu didn’t commit a foul. If you prove that he has fouled, Lianghua temple will never be biased towards him.”

“It’s a deal.” Shen Kuo glanced around and his gaze fell on a beautiful bearded priest. “Elder Changqing, can you lend me the Deity Detection Mirror?”

The Shen family were spiritual awakeners. They were most clear about whether Li Xianyu had cheated. He could hide the truth from others, but not them.

Elder Changqing pondered a little. He took out an octagonal bronze mirror from his arms and passed it to Shen Kuo with his qi from a hundred metres out.

Shen Kuo caught the mirror and said thanks. He didn’t speak any further. He held up the bronze mirror, reversed the mirror and pointed it at Li Xianyu.

“Come on, I’ll call you. You dare to respond?” Seeing this scene, Li Xianyu can’t help but think of this scene in his mind.

Shen Kuo injected qi into the bronze mirror. The simple and unsophisticated bronze mirror shot out an orange ray of light. It swept over Li Xianyu and showed his skeleton. It was as good as the CT machine in the hospital. The difference is that the bronze mirror only reacted to the things with spiritual power. It was mainly used to detect whether Li Xianyu had any external magic weapons.

At this time, thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at Li Xianyu. Their eyes followed the light column, looking at his body from the bottom up. There was a psychic reaction in the pocket, reflecting the shape of the wallet. The mirror light moved upward and fell on his arm. It was a magic glove. It was not allowed to use magic weapons at the conference. It was illegal for Li Xianyu to wear them. However, the agreement between him and Shen Bi was that they would fight based on mental power. Whether he wore the magic gloves or not had no effect.

Finally, the mirror light fell on Li Xianyu’s face. Under the orange golden light, his eyebrows were filled with a black halo, and his golden spirit body mixed with the dark was also illuminated.

“How can a 20-year-old have such strong mental power? He obviously cheated.” Shen Kuo gave a cold snort, and the mirror light suddenly turned into a hot light beam. Li Xianyu’s eyebrows sizzled, as white smoke rose.

Li Xianyu shouted, his brow dislodged and his eyes bled.

“Stop!” With a wave of the referee’s big sleeve, the mirror light was dispersed and the monk was angry. “Is strong mental power unconventional? You, Shen Kuo, have strong mental powers as well. Should I test it for you as well?”

“Master, do you want to be impartial?” Shen Kuo said angrily.

“That’s enough. You will only hurt his primordial spirit. When did strong mental power become unconventional? Li Xianyu didn’t cheat. This is the conclusion of Lianghua temple. If you don’t agree with it, go to find Buddha Head to reason,” the referee said coldly.

Shen Kuo looked at Li Xianyu gloomily, looked around the audience, clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice, “You guys, my son suffered a lot today. He’s incompetent, so he’s to blame for this. However, Li Xianyu killed my family’s eldest son and ignored the rules of the conference. We will not let this go easily. At that time, Li Wuxiang was alone and killed countless elites from various families. Now, his son is more cruel and violent than he himself. A few months ago, my child had a conflict with him. In the process, Li Xianyu was assassinated and his arm was cut off. He couldn’t find the murderer, so he framed him. We, the Shen family, respect the Unparalleled War Spirit and did not pursue the matter. We even avoided them by going abroad.”

“The Shen family only wants to calm things down. Unexpectedly, this yellow haired child is unrelenting and wants to take advantage. Today, in front of everyone, he hurt my eldest son. He has no rules in his eyes and is born rebellious. If I tolerate anymore, how can the Shen family maintain its image within the demon descendants’ community?”

He was worthy of being the head of the family. He averted the blame. In this way, they would pin the blame on Li Xianyu, and dig out old scores that involved his father. He would let the forces here understand that the Shen family and themselves were in the same camp. For this young man, many of you were his enemies.

“Did I kill anyone?” Li Xianyu laughed in anger.

“What’s the difference between Shen Bi being a vegetable and dying?” the Shen family said angrily.

“Was there any killing?” Li Xianyu asked.

“Yellow haired child, don’t play with words. It can’t save you.”

“What do you want?”

“Destroy your own cultivation. We will let this matter go.”

“If I don’t want to?”

“Then I’ll help you.”

The eyes of all the major forces brightened. It was a wonderful proposal. The improvement of Li Xianyu was surprising. Such growth meant that he had the potential to step into the Gokudo Path. Although he was weak now, all of them could guess what would happen in ten years. He would probably turn into another Li Wuxiang.

Once Li Xianyu was crippled, he would be another fish on the chopping board, there for the taking. No one wanted another Li Wuxiang to be born from the Li family. In the end, destroying his cultivation and making sure that he barely live on would be equivalent to testing Unparalleled War Spirit’s limits, but not exceeding her boundaries.

The third generation of the Li family’s descendants was indeed the fish on the chopping board. However, the Unparalleled War Spirit chose to ignore the situation. This was equivalent to telling everyone her bottom line.

Li Xianyu squinted. The Shen family should never have had such confidence. This super family, on the contrary, knew more about current affairs than the small families. When it was time to escape, they would be the fastest. They were proficient in the principle of being wise and protecting themselves. Otherwise, they would not be where they were today.

His eyes swept over the major forces that were in discussion, and it was immediately clear that the current situation was unlike that time where Great-Grandma had held a symposium. At that time, the major forces had only sent representatives, and not all the forces had come.

This time was different. This was the Forum Conference. Almost all the people who could join the party were here. There were at least 10,000 people in the two arenas combined. About one third of the demon descendants’ community’s forces were present.

Again, the conference was a great event amongst the demon descendants’ community, similar to the Olympic Games. In such an occasion, if the Unparalleled War Spirit dared to be domineering and kill people, it would incur the wrath of everyone present. It was like if one hit people and made trouble at the Olympic Games, no one would stand by him. Buddha Head would not let this happen. Last time, he had reason to let things go, but if the conference became a farce, the reputation of Lianghua temple would be completely destroyed.

Naturally, the Shen family was not afraid of Li Xianyu.

“Destroy your own cultivation!” In the audience, a woman suddenly stood up and shouted.

There was a chain reaction immediately. The second, the third and the fourth… Voices of “destroy your own cultivation” were heard in every corner, gradually becoming orderly and grand, converging into a single wave.

Shentu Junyan looked at his grandfather. The old man smiled and nodded as he excitedly called on the people to respond together.

The audience of the middle-aged group next door were all confused. They didn’t know what happened on the other side. The movement was so big.

“The descendant of the Li family is worthy of the public criticism of the Chinese demon descendants’ community, because the relationship between Li Wuxiang and other major forces is not very friendly. Standing on the side of justice can garner more support. Maybe I can take advantage of that.” Sakurai Yukinako diligently took notes.

“Was Wuxiang was forced to die like this that year?” The sad voice of Hua Yang rang in his mind.

“Yes, the whole world was against him.” Li Xianyu gnawed his teeth and said, “Great-Grandma told me that he was driven to desperation, and died of exhaustion.”

In an instant, a feeling of sadness, anger and hatred rose from his heart. That was Hua Yang’s mood, but it affected Li Xianyu, making him feel as if he was choked up with rage.

“In exchange?” Slime said softly.

“What?” Li Xianyu was at a loss. He thought that Slime had used the opportunity to tease him again, but he found that it didn’t seem like it.

Instead, Slime murmured, “Wang Chen, we have a deal?”

It was like that year.

Li Xianyu couldn’t pay attention to it. Hua Yang’s mood had reached a certain peak, and all kinds of negative emotions were surfacing. Li Xianyu had a splitting headache. He roared at the crowd, “Shut up!”

The sound was like thunder, as a strong mental barrage swept across the whole field.

The mentally weak audience were holding their heads in pain and shouting. The experts who were more mentally skilled were shocked as they saw that Li Xianyu had grown a pair of gigantic black wings behind his back.
