Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 575 - 554 Liu Hanye (3/3)

Although Liu Hanye was proud, it depended on whom he was dealing with.

He was not like Lin Caijun, who only knew how to play petty tricks; he understood that there were mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. The Yang family could only throw their weight around in Xihai City; they had to be much more discreet in Xu Immortal City, and if they went to You Immortal City, they would have no advantage at all.

In high-tier Immortal Cities like Nine Immortal City and Eight-Immortal City, they would not even qualify to enter!

Liu Hanye had ambition but also self-awareness; he knew exactly where he stood.

Zhou Heng being able to knock out a Six Wheels Moonlight Sovereign with two slaps—what did that mean? The opponent’s strength was unfathomable!

He could sense that Zhou Heng was a fellow Moonlight Sovereign, but could a Seven Wheels Moonlight Sovereign so thoroughly crush a Six Wheels Moonlight Sovereign? Absolutely not! Therefore, Zhou Heng had to be a monster of his generation, possessing Eight Wheels Moon, maybe even Nine Wheels Moon, or Ten Wheels Moon!

The leap from Seven to Eight was a qualitative leap!

The battle power of an Eight Wheels Moonlight Sovereign could match that of a Moonlight Emperor!

Such a monster was someone even his father would not wish to lightly offend, let alone him.

"Brother Zhou!" Liu Hanye could both lift and let go; he immediately cupped his fists and bowed to Zhou Heng, "It was my lack of discipline. Here I offer my apologies to Brother Zhou, and I hope that Brother Zhou, being magnanimous, won’t take it to heart!"

"As the younger brother hosting, I invite Brother Zhou to be a guest at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion tonight!"

Upon hearing the name of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, those who rushed over to watch the excitement all revealed looks of envy.

The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was not on this mountain but in one of the only nine cities in Xihai City, within the city of Wild Horse City.

To build a city within an Immortal City required not only strength but also the relationships with the higher-tier Immortal Cities. The Meng Family, for instance, could only establish a market. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to build a city, but rather they lacked the qualifications.

— Although the scale of that market could indeed match that of a city.

Building a city would mean staff from Juexian City would be stationed there, responsible for maintaining public order. But how could experts from the Sunshine Realm, even Sublimation Realm, or Creation Realm, bother to come to a low-tier Immortal City?

Therefore, in cities within Hai Immortal City and You Immortal City, Juexian City would delegate the task of maintaining public order to a certain family.

This was an honor and an even higher power!

No one could defy Juexian City, which represented absolute strength, absolute order, and absolute authority. Anyone who even thought of offending it had only the fate of being ruthlessly suppressed!

Wild Horse City was such a city, with Juexian City appointing the Situ Family to be stationed there. It’s a city not just a marketplace, and the distinction is not just in name but because everything that should be there, is there!

The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was not a brothel but a restaurant; however, the girls inside were the most beautiful and alluring in the entire city. Even though their fees were the highest, they still attracted countless men like moths to a flame.

It was unknown who was backing the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, but it wasn’t a place that just anyone with money could enter; one had to have a high status as well. To drink a cup there and listen to a girl sing was a symbol of status. The higher the fees, the more people wanted to get in.

Naturally, the subordinates of the Yang family had no such qualifications, so when they heard Liu Hanye inviting Zhou Heng to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, they naturally showed envious expressions. freewёbnoνel.com

Zhou Heng’s expression was still cold. He said, "The one you need to apologize to is not me, but it!" He reached into the void and pulled the Black Donkey over.

"Zhou, gentle! Be gentle! I am wounded now," the Black Donkey cried out with gritted teeth.

Liu Hanye’s face changed and he said, "Brother Zhou, you want me to apologize to a beast?" He was deeply wary of Zhou Heng, but who was he? If he were to apologize to a beast, where would his face be?

"What, you little pretty face, dare to call your Donkey Master a beast? I’ll spray you with golden showers!" The Black Donkey, enraged, scarcely got up before it wanted to rush at Liu Hanye with its front hooves ready.

Zhou Heng held it down and said, "If you don’t want to apologize, then I’ll beat an apology out of you!"

"Humph, you are bullying too much!" Liu Hanye waved his hand and was about to turn away and leave.

He was indeed fearful of Zhou Heng’s strength; without his father by his side, he simply didn’t have the courage to face Zhou Heng directly.

"When you ordered the attack, did you ever think about an eye for an eye?" Zhou Heng controlled with his right hand, and a terrifying pressure swept over, making Liu Hanye feel as though the air around him had solidified, unable to move at all!

"That despicable donkey brought it upon itself; how is it wrong for me to insult it?" Liu Hanye was still talking tough. He could step back appropriately, but it was absolutely impossible for him to bow his head in front of everyone!

Otherwise, how could he contend for the position of the Family Head in the future?

Which subordinate would follow a master who bowed to a beast?

Slap!

Zhou Heng swung his hand, and a slap landed, making a crisp sound. Liu Hanye’s half face immediately swelled up, not only swelling, but also blood began to run from the corner of his mouth.

"You are stronger than the donkey, so you can insult it! Now I am stronger than you, and I can also insult you!"

Liu Hanye was nearly bursting with anger. What was the Black Donkey, but a beast, and only a Moonlight King at that? What about him, the sole child of the Yang family’s second Family Head, and himself a Moonlight Sovereign? Could he be compared to a mere donkey?

"Zhou Heng, you’ve gone too far! My father is the Yang family’s second Family Head. To insult me is to insult my father, to insult the entire Yang family!" This guy was good with words, pushing Zhou Heng into the position of the Yang family’s public enemy in an instant.

Zhou Heng paid no mind and said to Black Donkey, "Come on, let’s beat him up together!"

Black Donkey naturally agreed with delight, charging forward and striking Liu Hanye violently while saying, "Kid, you should feel honored, letting Donkey Master beat you up even when I’m injured!"

Damn, who would want this kind of "honor"?!

Liu Hanye’s strength was suppressed by Zhou, leaving him utterly incapable of resisting the brutal onslaught from the man and donkey duo, and he cried out in misery.

The others saw what was happening but not a single one dared to step forward.

First, they thought they were no match for Zhou Heng, as the kid was just too vicious. Just before, a Six Wheels Moonlight Sovereign was slapped by him until teeth were broken and blood was spat out, which definitely was power at the level of a Moonlight Emperor! Apart from the two Family Heads, the Yang family had no third person who could oppose him.

Second, although Liu Hanye had a high status, Zhou wasn’t inferior at all, being someone who walked hand-in-hand with the young lady herself and might have the chance to vie for the position of Family Head. Maybe this was just him seizing the opportunity to strike?

Who would be so unwise as to intervene at this time, not fearing that Zhou might remember and make things difficult for them after he became Family Head?

Thus, it’s none of their business, and they just hung back and watched.

Consequently, Liu Hanye continued to cry out from being beaten, while everyone else watched with great interest.

"Stop it, don’t hit him anymore!" Finally, someone came over to break up the fight. It wasn’t anyone else but Yang Lanxin. She didn’t get the news immediately, and by the time she rushed over, this was the scene that greeted her.

What a headache!

Zhou was someone she fancied, not to mention that, even leaving that aside, the guy possessed outstanding talent, an Alchemy Master, and would be treated as an honored guest and lead a prosperous life wherever he went, without having to settle for her modest Yang family.

No matter what, she was on Zhou’s side.

But Liu Hanye was her second uncle’s only son, and before this, he had always treated her well, so she felt obligated to remember their past friendship.

Why did it have to be them who ended up fighting?

Well, to say they were fighting wasn’t exactly accurate; it was entirely Liu Hanye getting beaten up while Zhou and a black donkey were the ones dishing out the violence!

A Demon Beast?

How did Zhou suddenly acquire a Demon Beast?

Black Donkey didn’t recognize Yang Lanxin at all, so naturally, it didn’t listen or pay her any heed, but Zhou did stop. He waved to Yang Lanxin and said, "There’s still a spot open, want to join in for a bit of practice?"

Liu Hanye was both angry and shocked, hastily crying out, "Lanxin, save me! Save me!" Being beaten in front of everyone like this was a severe blow to his dignity.

Yang Lanxin gave Zhou a glare. Why did this guy have to be such a troublemaker? And he was still looking to tease her with his cheeky talk at a time like this!

"Stop it already, for my sake!" She knew Zhou would respond better to a gentle approach, so she spoke to him softly with a rich feminine charm, overflowing with allurement.

Everyone knew the young lady was a beauty, but they had only ever seen her cold and heartless side. Who had ever witnessed her act so coquettishly like a delicate woman?

Oh boy, the young lady has really fallen deep this time!

Zhou, that lucky bastard, is getting all the benefits!

Thinking of the young lady’s charm, thinking of her flirtatiousness, everyone felt as though they had swallowed a jar of vinegar. Clearly it had nothing to do with them, yet they just felt uncomfortable.

Zhou nodded and said, "I’ll do you the favor!" He tugged at Black Donkey and said, "Let’s stop, we are scholarly people, we don’t want to ruin our image!"

"Indeed, I am the Auspicious Omens of Heaven and Earth, how could I let this stinking kid tarnish my image!" Black Donkey also stopped, but couldn’t help giving Liu Hanye a few more kicks with its hind legs.

"Brother Ye, are you alright?" Yang Lanxin originally intended to help Liu Hanye up, but catching Zhou’s displeased look, she knew this master was a jealous one and decided it was better to simply speak without offering a hand.

"Of course I’m not alright!" Liu Hanye got up and quickly moved away from Zhou, then angrily exclaimed once he was at a safe distance.

The beating hurt, sure, but that wasn’t the most important thing to him. What he couldn’t bear was that countless people had seen him being beaten! He had to regain his dignity, or how could he hold his head up high in the Yang family?

"Zhou Heng, remember this, it’s not over!" After throwing out a threatening line, he hurriedly turned and ran, fearing that Zhou might give chase once more.

Zhou wasn’t concerned about him and turned to Yang Lanxin, "Come, I’ll introduce you to a few people!"

Watching Yang Lanxin follow Zhou into the hall, Black Donkey couldn’t help but reveal a sly smile. Poor girl, she’s going to get acquainted with more than just a few people, and one of them is a great devil, a Witch so fearsome even Donkey Master would tremble at the sight!

When Yang Lanxin entered the room and saw the house full of attractive women, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in astonishment—so many beauties! Some were slightly less stunning than her, some on par with her, and a few were even three times more beautiful!

The moment she saw Huo Tian, her breath stopped for an instant.

How could there possibly be such a beautiful woman in this world?

She stared at Huo Tian, spellbound, losing all her thoughts. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
