Chapter 210 The Prodigal Xia Liangchun
How could Xia Liangchun not know that he had bumped into these people? However, he was completely oblivious to it. He had become accustomed to bullying these people, and in his eyes, they were no longer on the same level as him.
Lowly and noble, and he was the noble one, not because of his powerful cultivation, but simply because he was a member of the Xia family.
That's enough, that's enough to oppress these people.
Not far from him, Jin Yejie strolled leisurely through the market as if taking a leisurely walk.
Several months ago, he had just attempted to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, but it was as if he was blocked by an insurmountable chasm. No matter how hard he cultivated, he could not break through that shackle.
As he was about to go out for a walk, he heard that the Xia family was preparing an auction, so he rushed over excitedly, hoping to find a spiritual item at the auction that could help him break through his limits.
However, as he walked, he suddenly smelled a strong odor of alcohol.
Just as he was frowning, trying to figure out where the smell of alcohol was coming from, a person reeking of alcohol, like a headless fly, stumbled right into him.
Xia Liangchun felt as if he had crashed into an indestructible boulder. The intense pain made him rub his shoulder, wincing and contorting his face in agony.
Once the pain subsided slightly, boundless rage erupted like a volcano.
He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, who dares to be so blind as to block my way?"
"You damned thing, didn't you see me, a grown man, walking towards you? Are you blind, you..."
He had barely uttered a few curses when he was enveloped by a chilling killing intent, as cold as winter.
However, this murderous intent only stunned him for a moment. If it were any other day, he would probably have been sobered up by now.
However, today is different; today happens to be the day he receives his monthly salary.
Just then, the Xia family's newly opened restaurant opened, so he couldn't wait to go and have a meal there, drinking two whole jugs of spirit wine.
This spirit wine is not just about enhancing cultivation; its potency is like a surging wave, many times more potent than ordinary wines.
Even for a cultivator, refining it would take a considerable amount of time, so it was impossible for him to sober up in a short period of time.
"You bastard, do you even know where you are? Do you believe I'll kick you right in the chest and kick your guts out?"
Snapped!
The crisp sound of a slap, like a thunderclap, exploded on Xia Liangchun's face.
The sound was so clear and crisp that it instantly drew the attention of everyone around.
Xia Liangchun touched the burning pain on his face, and looked at the mocking and contemptuous eyes of the people around him. Suddenly, a raging fire of anger ignited in his heart.
The next moment, completely ignoring the strange looks from the others, as if they were looking at a monster, he pounced on his prey like a hungry tiger and unleashed the kick he had just mentioned.
However, the next moment, his body was suspended in mid-air like a kite with a broken string, and then he was blasted away by a powerful aura that was like an overwhelming force.
"Ouch."
"what!"
A wail, like that of a pig being slaughtered, suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"Wow."
Xia Liangchun was struck as if by a heavy blow, and he spat out a mouthful of blood like a spring, his drunken state vanishing instantly.
He stared in horror at the cultivator who had injured him, his voice trembling as he cried out, "A Foundation Establishment cultivator?!"
Upon hearing his voice, the people around him immediately erupted in an uproar and involuntarily retreated like a tide. After retreating several meters, they left a large area for the two of them as if avoiding a plague.
Watching the crowd vanish completely in an instant, Xia Liangchun felt a surge of fear, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He scrutinized the cultivator intently, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.
At this moment, Jin Yejie looked at the people around him, his heart was in turmoil. Although the relationship between the Jin family and the Xia family was not irreconcilable, it could be said that they were like fire and water.
He had killed several cultivators from the Xia family a few months ago, which made him instinctively want to slip away.
However, at this moment, Xia Liangchun's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness. He saw something, something that could save his life.
"Have you Jin family members lost your minds? How dare you lay a hand on a member of the Xia family on our territory!"
Xia Liangchun's words were like a thunderclap in the crowd, causing a stir among those around him. Everyone seemed to have caught a whiff of some earth-shattering secret, and they all looked at him with scrutiny.
Jin Yejie followed Xia Liangchun's gaze and saw a jade pendant at his waist with a large gold character engraved on it.
He had carefully hung the token inside his clothes, but after being bumped, a corner of it was knocked out.
At this moment, his mind was in turmoil, and he cursed himself for being so foolish as to expose such an important item.
Xia Liangchun stared at Jin Yejie's rapidly changing expression and instantly understood the situation. He shouted loudly, "What? Does your Jin family despise my Xia family so much that you dare to bully a Xia family cultivator like me? Are you trying to deliberately provoke a war?"
Xia Liangchun was already in a panic, so he could only keep praising the other party, trying to make him back down.
On the other side, Jin Yejie was equally apprehensive. He was a reckless man with a heart as still as a stagnant pool, completely devoid of any cunning.
Faced with this situation, his first thought was to kill the man. However, seeing the growing crowd around him, he had no choice but to forcefully bury this murderous intent deep in his heart.
He shouted in a panic, "What nonsense are you spouting? I never had such a thought! How dare you frame me? You'd better watch out for your life!"
Having just been repeatedly compared to a dog, he was already furious and immediately threatened back.
"Hahaha, well done, so the Jin family dares to threaten a member of the Xia family in Jinling City. Do you really think that the 'Jin' in Jinling Prefecture belongs to your family?"
"I, Xia Liangchun of the Xia family, solemnly tell you today that my Xia family has been rooted in Jinling County for over 700 years and has dominated the area for a full 500 years. What is your Jin family? What right do you have to threaten me, Xia Liangchun!"
Perhaps the effects of the spirit wine hadn't completely worn off, or perhaps his indulgence over the past few years had made him forget his sense of awe; in any case, Xia Liangchun was unusually tough today, and even he himself didn't know where this toughness came from.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yejie was first taken aback, then an endless rage surged from the bottom of his heart, and a single word kept echoing in his mind.
"kill!"
He was about to pounce like a hungry tiger when he was interrupted by a thunderous roar.
"Outrageous! What are you doing!"
In the distance, a middle-aged man with a slick and dignified appearance and a beard, like a dazzling pearl, slowly walked out from the crowd.
This person is Xia Yufei, the seventh son of the Xia family, who is in charge of the Peacock Tower.
