Chapter 173 Shangguan Family
Making a fool of herself in front of so many monks obviously made the female monk in red very angry.
She snatched the reins from the monk driving the carriage and kicked him off the carriage. Then, she jumped into the air and tightened the reins. The four lion horses were pulled by the huge force, which restricted their movement space and made them snort in annoyance.
The female cultivator in red was still not satisfied, and suddenly a magic sword appeared in her hand. In the incredulous eyes of the cultivators watching the excitement, she slashed at the four lion horses that were still frightened by the sudden pressure from the ancient mythical beast.
Although the lion horse is a low-level spiritual beast, it is extremely rare because it is extremely docile and only likes to eat the leaves of the thousand-year-old towering tree. Its price has always been high. In the Tianyan Continent, only some large families and major forces have the ability to tame it.
Therefore, some monks without status had no chance to ride in a carriage pulled by lions and horses, let alone a carriage pulled by four lion horses.
Some soft-hearted monks couldn't bear to watch and quietly looked away, including Lin Xia.
Lin Xia's mood was a little complicated at this time. She really didn't expect things to develop to this point. These four lion horses were implicated by Mr. Rat in vain.
The spirit sword fell, a cold light flashed, and the four lion horses neighed in terror. However, the blood-splattering scene that the monks had anticipated did not occur.
A carriage came from the opposite direction at some point, pulled by only a lion horse. Judging from the appearance of the carriage and the very eye-catching emblem of the Shangguan family, the monks in the carriage were still from the ancient family.
At this critical moment, a folding fan flew out from the opposite carriage and easily blocked the spiritual sword that the red-clothed female cultivator was slashing at the four lion horses.
Then, a clear and bright male voice came, "Shangguan Yanxi, it's just a trivial matter, why shout for war?" After a pause, he continued, "Also, if I remember correctly, these four lion horses are family property, not yours personally, right?"
The red-clothed female cultivator, Shangguan Yanxi, was already angry because her spirit sword had been blocked. Upon hearing this, her expression grew even colder, her beautiful eyes burning with anger. "Shangguan Jingyu, stop being so hypocritical. It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs!"
The carriage opposite was silent for a moment, and soon the male voice could be heard again, even with a smile, but it sounded sarcastic. "Haha, yes, you're right. I really can't interfere with your affairs. It's not my place to control someone who can use forbidden techniques on himself!"
"Shangguan Jingyu, you are looking for death!" This sentence seemed to touch Shangguan Yanxi's forbidden zone. Shangguan Yanxi almost roared out in anger, and the whole person flew up. The magic sword in his hand stabbed straight towards the carriage where Shangguan Jingyu was, and he actually had the intention to kill him.
Shangguan Jingyu sensed the movement coming from the other side and sneered: "Oh, if I were you, I would stay in the family and practice hard, and pray devoutly every day to atone for your sins, so as not to go out and embarrass yourself!"
"Bang!" With Shangguan Yanxi's action, the carriage was split into two, revealing a young male cultivator with a face full of sarcasm inside the carriage.
Shangguan Jingyu flicked his folding fan, easily neutralizing the sharp sword thrust from Shangguan Yanxi. He tapped his toes and retreated several feet like a swallow, his eyes filled with mockery.
Shangguan Yanxi's attack missed, and she was furious. With a delicate cry, the spirit sword in her hand shone brightly. In an instant, she swung out several sword beams, which flew towards Shangguan Jingyu like silver snakes. Wherever the sword beams passed, the air seemed to be cut apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The monks around were frightened by the scene and retreated one after another for fear of becoming innocent victims.
Shangguan Jingyu seemed to have not taken Shangguan Yanxi opposite him seriously at all. He waved the folding fan in his hand lightly, forming an invisible barrier to block the incoming sword lights one by one.
Shangguan Yanxi on the opposite side was about to go crazy with rage. Just as she was about to continue to attack, she saw a group of monks wearing uniform green robes quickly walking towards them not far away. The male monk in the lead shouted from a distance: "Miss Yanxi, please stop!"
This team of cultivators is the guard who maintains order in Qionghua City. They belong to the Shangguan family. The leading male cultivator is the leader of this team of guards. His name is Shangguan Xin, and his cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yanxi just turned around and glanced at Shangguan Xin, and the magic sword in his hand had already stabbed towards Shangguan Jingyu.
Shangguan Xin, who was approaching, hurriedly tried to stop him and used his spiritual power to neutralize Shangguan Yanxi's attack.
"Shangguan Xin, get out of here!" Shangguan Yanxi was furious and refused to stop no matter who came.
Shangguan Xin was standing between Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu at the moment. Upon hearing this, he turned around, saluted respectfully, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Yanxi, private fighting is prohibited in Qionghua City." He then looked at Shangguan Jingyu standing aside and said, "I hope Miss Yanxi and Master Jingyu will not make things difficult for us."
Shangguan Jingyu sneered, "Ha!" Then, he looked at Shangguan Yanxi meaningfully and turned away.
Shangguan Yanxi was left standing there, seething with rage. "Shangguan Jingyu, just wait for me! I won't let this go!"
After saying those harsh words, he didn't care about the mess on the ground anymore and just left.
At this time, the male cultivator who was kicked off the carriage by Shangguan Yanxi came out timidly from the crowd, led the lion horse and chased in the direction Shangguan Yanxi left.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Shangguan Xin and the other guards did not stay long. They just evacuated the monks who were watching the excitement and left.
Only then did Lin Xia have the opportunity to ask Wu Qingyu about Shangguan Yanxi's identity. "Fellow Daoist Wu, is this female cultivator in red actually the daughter of the Shangguan family? She's so impressive!"
Ling Cang, who was standing by, also pricked up his ears at this time, and was obviously very interested in Shangguan Yanxi's identity.
Wu Qingyu turned to look in the direction Shangguan Yanxi had left. Seeing that Shangguan Yanxi was no longer visible, he spoke in a low voice, "Yes, this Miss Shangguan is of extremely noble status. She is the granddaughter of Shangguan Xiong, the current head of the Shangguan family."
After he finished speaking, he curled his lips and pointed to the sky. His meaning was self-evident. This person was not someone who could be easily offended. He was not someone to be messed with.
Before Lin Xia could continue, Wu Qingyu continued, "Shangguan Jingyu is also a direct descendant of the Shangguan family, but he is the grandson of Shangguan Lin, the eldest elder of the Shangguan family. I usually look down on that person's behavior the most." As he spoke, he subtly pointed in the direction where Shangguan Yanxi left.
Lin Xia suddenly realized that she had already offended the most powerful next generation of the Shangguan family. Suddenly realizing something, Lin Xia continued, "Does Fellow Daoist Wu know what the forbidden technique Shangguan Jingyu mentioned is?"
"Hush!" Wu Qingyu seemed very flustered and hurriedly stopped Lin Xia from asking any more questions. His voice was filled with a hint of nervousness. "It's better for you and me, casual cultivators, not to be curious about the secrets behind this big family."
