Chapter 33: The Contest is Coming
To be honest, whether it was Qi Yu or Li Xing, they didn't take Shen Li in their eyes at all, but when Shen Li really said what he said just now, for some reason, both of them looked stunned for no reason, and they were taken by Shen Li's momentum.
"I hope you'll be able to stand and talk to me like that then. However, Qi Yu is a powerhouse of the ninth rank after all, so he naturally will not be afraid of Shen Li, and said lightly.
"I'll see. Shen Li didn't say much, took a deep look at the two of them, and turned around and left with Lin Wan'er and Shen Qing.
Looking at the back of the group leaving, Qi Yang suddenly spoke: "Big brother, the family asked us to explore the reality of this Shen Li, did you just let him go?"
"Shen Qing is here, he is also a good player in the ninth section, and he became famous early in the morning, I can't help him, naturally I can't move Shen Li, what if I don't let him go?" Qi Yu said.
"After a little fight just now, what does Brother Qi think of this Shen Li? Is it really as evil as rumored?" Li Xing turned his head and asked.
"I can't see it, since he can defeat Jiang Tianluan, he naturally has the true strength of more than seven ranks, but he shouldn't be your opponent. "Qi Yudao.
"Hmph, little Qiduan, I killed you like pinching a little chicken to death, and Jiang Tianluan is also a straw bag, in vain. Li Xing sneered.
"In any case, this time the Shen family's derogation is a foregone conclusion, and no one can stop it, but it is not small to want to take away the foundation of the Shen family, and your Li family has to keep a little heart. "Qi Yudao, the martial arts competition has not yet arrived, and they have already begun to discuss the ownership of the Shen family's property, which shows that the situation of the Shen family is already clear.
"This is natural, but I'm always worried, after all, the head of the Shen family is an innate master of the True Martial Realm, if he fights and stops this, will it be a little troublesome?" Li Xing asked.
"In the martial arts competition, the younger generation will decide the ownership of the noble seats, this is the rule set by the Taibai King, if you give Shen Hongtian two more courage, he will not dare to resist, besides, the heads of my Yang and Qi families are all present to suppress Shen Hongtian, forgive him and dare not act rashly!" Qi Yu said coldly, and in a few words, he analyzed the general situation clearly.
"Li Xing, you don't have to worry about this, you just need to prepare well and use all your strength to overturn this Shen family. Qi Yang also said.
"Hmph, as long as the old man of the Shen family doesn't do it, what ability does his younger generation have to fight against my Li family? Li Xing said with confidence.
"That's good, in the previous martial arts competition, the Shen family has been defeated twice in a row, if it is a defeat this time, no one will let him Shen family hand over this noble seat, but there are a lot of beautiful women in the younger generation of his Shen family, hum when the time comes!" Speaking of this, a trace of silver evil suddenly flashed in Qi Yang's eyes, and he laughed in a low voice.
"But there are some people you can't touch, such as Shen Mengran. Qi Yu suddenly turned around and whispered.
"Yes, yes, yes" Hearing this, Qi Yang suddenly became excited, knowing that there was something wrong with his words, and he inadvertently offended Qi Yu, and he was afraid for a while
With such an episode, Shen Li and the others naturally didn't have the heart to continue shopping, and returned home all the way, and dispersed with their own concerns.
"That Qi Yu is a master of the ninth rank of the First Martial Realm, if I fight hard, I may be able to resist it, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat him. Now that the fall of the family is imminent, I don't have time. ”
Shen Li felt the huge pressure more and more, from Qi Yu's body, and even from people like the Li family who coveted the Shen family's foundation.
"My father and grandfather have raised me for nearly 20 years, and although I have always disappointed him, he still does not give up, and so does my eldest brother, and now that the family is in danger, it is time for me to do something for them. ”
On the back mountain, Shen Li sat cross-legged alone, the exercises were running, the internal strength flowed, and now it was only half a month before the martial arts competition, during this time, Shen Li had to seize all the time to cultivate, only in this way could he win a glimmer of life for the family.
In half a time, although Shen Li spent most of his time on cultivation, he inevitably walked around the family, and the more he went to the back, the more deeply Shen Li felt that everyone's mood was getting more and more depressed day by day, to be precise, it was low.
The martial arts competition is approaching, everyone knows what the family is about to face, up to Shen Hongtian, down to some house slaves, everyone can't lift a trace of high emotions, everyone is walking through the courtyard with their heads down, and a depressing atmosphere envelops the entire Shen family.
Shen Li was very uncomfortable with such a situation, but he was powerless to change it, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
In the end, some house slaves or maids began to leave one after another, and the head of the Shen family was very angry about this situation, but Shen Hongtian just waved his hand weakly, allowing them to leave freely and no longer hinder.
Shen Hongtian knew that the situation facing the Shen family now could be seen clearly by all the people in Jiang Yuancheng, and once the noble seat was lost, the Shen family would inevitably fall into a huge crisis, and these subordinates in the Shen family would naturally be threatened to their own safety.
People want to leave his Shen family for their own safety, and it is understandable in itself, Shen Hongtian naturally doesn't want to obstruct and gossip.
In such a situation, the atmosphere of the Shen family became even heavier, and even shrouded in a gloomy cloud, I don't know how many people no longer work, they can only sit in the courtyard and look at the sky weakly, and even the children who participate in the morning exercise every morning are much less.
Jiang Yuancheng also saw the situation of the Shen family clearly, although many people sighed about the situation of the Shen family, but more of them gloated, especially people like the Li family who coveted the foundation of the Shen family, and they couldn't help but be happy, and they were happy to see that the Shen family was not as good as day by day.
And in such a situation, once every five years, it is also the most grand event in Jiangyuan City, and the family martial arts conference is coming!
The night before the conference, all the families who were preparing to participate in the competition were ready to go, the young children gathered, the head of the family and other high-level leaders all came forward to carry out the last mobilization, and the words were impassioned, and all the young children were excited, and they couldn't wait for the competition to start immediately.
This night, Jiang Yuancheng almost stayed awake all night, and the tense and agitated atmosphere before the start of the game even enveloped the entire Jiang Yuancheng, and almost every household could hear the bursts of chanting from the major families, and the sound was impassioned, breaking through the nine skies.
But the Shen family is an exception, in the huge mansion, there is no passionate atmosphere, no generous statements, there is just a dull atmosphere, when the descendants of the family stand in the courtyard, or look at the ground, or look at the family high-level with blank eyes, they are silent.
Looking at such a situation, Shen Hongtian, Shen Hongyun and others were heartbroken and had the intention to let young people lift their spirits, but they were helpless, because even they themselves were now in a low mood.
"Forget it, do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven! I won't say anything more, just do your best tomorrow, don't have any psychological burden, and everything will be safe for your destiny." ”
After being silent for a long time, Shen Hongtian suddenly let out a long sigh and said softly.
Hearing this, a sigh continued to sound in the courtyard, some from these young people, and some from many adults, they knew that maybe after tomorrow, they were no longer the members of the three major families, and what followed might be a greater crisis.
"Let's Disperse"
Shen Hongtian waved his hand weakly and said in a depressed voice, and with these words, the children of Yiying also dispersed with gloomy expressions, and the adults also walked a lot.
Looking at the gloomy and departing people, Shen Tianxing among them felt a burst of anger for no reason, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails pierced deep into the flesh, but after a while, his fists were weakly released, and he sighed.
For a month, he tried all his methods to break through to the ninth dan, but in the end he failed, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break this barrier, and the tournament came as scheduled, and he didn't know how to meet the impending defeat.
"What about Li'er?" Shen Hongtian's eyes looked around the scene, but he didn't find Shen Li's figure, and suddenly asked.
"Maybe it's cultivating. Shen Tianxing said suddenly: "He has been cultivating in the back mountains for a while, and he rarely comes out, and he also asks people not to bother him." ”
"Hey, this kid knows hard work, but our Shen family can't stand him and can't provide him with a good environment. Shen Hongtian sighed.
"Uncle, don't say that, you have done your best, but the Yang family, the Qi family, and several big forces have jointly attacked my Shen family, and we can't do anything. Shen Ze said.
For Shen Ze's comfort, Shen Hongtian just shook his head dejectedly, Rao is he is an innate powerhouse in the True Martial Realm, and he can't do much in the face of the confrontation of the family, and he can't help but feel a little blamed in his heart.
"Okay, let's disperse, no matter what the result is, at least adjust the state to the best, Tianxing, you don't have to force yourself too much, this matter is not something you can carry alone. Shen Hongtian said.
"Yes" Although Shen Tianxing was unwilling, he could only sigh and disperse with everyone.
The people all dispersed, and in the huge mansion, many people stayed awake all night, and the lights kept on, but this did not bring much warmth to the Shen family, and some were just cold and silent.
And in the back mountain, there is also a person who has not slept all night, Shen Li stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the brilliant lights of Jiang Yuancheng from afar, and looked at the silence in the Shen family's house, silent for a long time.
"It's the last night, no matter what, I have to fight, I'm not going to die, it's time to run, but I have no unparalleled talent, if I can't even protect my own family, why talk about becoming a strong party?"
Shen Li's eyes were bright, and although he hadn't made much progress in his half-month cultivation, the obsession in his heart still made him unwilling to give up, and he sat down cross-legged again to carry out this final cultivation.
