Supreme Martial God of the City

"Bang bang bang~~~"

Before long, the Xu Family's main gate witnessed a dramatic skirmish involving dozens of people, ultimately ending in a miserable defeat for the Bald Man and his group.

"Everyone, I'm under Liu Batian's command, please.... don't be so harsh."

"Paying off debts is only fair!"

The Bald Man touched his swollen, reddened face and said fearfully. He was taken aback when he saw that all those who had just beaten him were Star City's influential figures.

Every one of them was someone he wouldn't dare provoke. Why were they all gathered here so early in the morning, angrily thrashing their group?

"Hmph, we're sparing you only because of Liu Batian. Otherwise, we'd have killed you ignorant fools."

"You even dared to capture Young Master Xu's woman? Tired of living, aren't you?"

A man with a small mustache, slightly plump, dressed in golden silk, sneered.

"Get out of the way, move aside! Who dares to beat Liu Batian's men?" From a distance, a man with a black scorpion tattoo on his right arm, at the Heavenly Rank Seventh Stage, approached like a tank, aggressively pushing through.

"Boss, boss, we're over here." The Bald Man waved his arms, shouting, "We... we brought Old Li here to collect debts, but we didn't expect....."

"Family Head Li, Family Head Yu, and Family Head Lin." Liu Batian, originally storming over in anger, paused when he saw these big shots of Star City, swallowed a bit of saliva, and said.

"Liu Batian, how do you manage your subordinates?" Family Head Li, the plump man, said, "Yeah, do you know who this person is right before your eyes? It's Young Master Xu. You must have a death wish."

"What!! Damn it, who let you mess with Young Master Xu?"

"Get out!!"

Upon hearing Xu Que's name, Liu Batian's legs nearly gave way. Who didn't know that Xu Que had the fourth-ranked Young Martial Venerate on the Kunlun Divine List backing him? Even together, they couldn't match a finger of his.

Liu Batian, like a nimble leopard, approached the Bald Man and others, delivering a slap to each one fiercely.

Li Xiangqin's father stood rooted in place, dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the scene, wondering when this impoverished Xu Que had become a Young Master these big figures were eager to please.

"Young Master Xu, this is a small token from me. My unfilial son told me yesterday."

"This is mine, don't push!"

With that, the Bald Man gave his boss a resentful look and slunk away, while the other family heads crowded around, handing over exquisite gifts one after another.

"Little Xu, Senior Chen seemed to have called you to attend the Star Sect examination yesterday. It's about to start now."

"Hurry up and go."

Li Xiangqin tugged at Xu Que's sleeve, whispering, and Xu Que quickly snapped out of it, patting his head.

He would normally not attend this Star Sect assessment, as he was self-aware enough to know he wouldn't pass. It would be purely a waste of time with no meaning.

"Young Master Xu, take my steed. We'll get to the assessment site quickly."

The Liu Family Master's eyes brightened as he immediately led out a winged white horse. Xu Que nodded and mounted the steed.

Indeed, the horse was incredibly fast, almost matching the full-speed flight of a First-Order Martial Artist.

The Star Sect examination site, though arranged more simply than before, was already swarming with a sea of people. Despite the crowd being densely packed and seemingly endless, no one dared to make a noise.

That's because, although the setup was simple this time, the attendees were all strong people from the Star Sect. Especially noticeable was an old man with flowing white hair in the center, whose imposing aura was just slightly weaker than yesterday's Black Robed Man.

Among the crowd, the most eye-catching group was led by Ning Wei. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

With Ning Wei, Yu Xin, Liu Jie, and others at the helm, a dozen or so people from Star City's younger generation, all recognized with high potential to pass the examination, attracting attention was inevitable.

"Master, there is a genius among the candidates this time, who has comprehended Sword Intent. It's her." The Star Sect Master, Xing Yunzi, stood respectfully beside the old man, pointing at Ning Wei.

"Hmm, not bad, a good seedling. My Sword Dao finally has a successor." The old man smiled at Ning Wei, stroking his white beard and nodding in satisfaction, feeling her Sword Intent was quite solid.

"Flap flap flap~~~"

"Young Master Xu, we've arrived at the assessment site. Let's dismount."

The Liu Family Master gestured for the flying horse to land. Xu Que clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, truly, thank you."

"Hey, no need to be so polite. It's what I should do." The Liu Family Master quickly returned the polite gesture, his face beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum.

This caused quite a stir, considering these figures were all notable figures in Star City. Yet, now they were following behind Xu Que, seemingly eager to win his favor.

"Who is this person?! How does he command such influence?" The Star Sect Master, Xing Yunzi's Master, the Star Sect Old Ancestor, frowned and asked softly, subconsciously taking Xu Que for a profligate son with low cultivation yet surrounded by such subservient strong people.

"Master, this person must not be provoked. Though he lacks Ning Wei's exceptional talent, he has a powerful backer."

"Accepting him into our Star Sect is a blessing."

Xing Yunzi had long received word from Fatty, knowing Xu Que might also attend the Star Sect assessment. He didn't expect Xu Que to actually show up.

"Hmm, Xing Yunzi, you've changed. When did you start currying favor?" The Old Ancestor said blandly, "Go back and reflect in closed seclusion."

"No, Master, Xu Que has the fourth-ranked Young Martial Venerate Chen Beixuan on the Kunlun Divine List behind him."

Xing Yunzi looked bitter, being punished for nothing.

"What!! The Kunlun Divine List has shifted, who is this Chen Beixuan to dare rank fourth?"

Even the Old Ancestor couldn't stay calm, tearing out a tuft of his white beard in shock, his mouth twitching in pain.

"According to the Kunlun Divine List, Chen Beixuan, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, first entered Kunlun and single-handedly turned the tide, slaying five Primordial Martial Ancient Strange Beasts of the Sunset Mountain Range."

"His identity is exceptionally mysterious, and other details are unknown. He is a pinnacle figure of the younger generation in Kunlun."

Xing Yunzi thought of the Kunlun Divine List's description and couldn't believe it. To rank fourth at the age of twenty-three or twenty-four was unbelievable. But the Tianji Pavilion never errs; this was the reality.

"I didn't expect that in my few years of seclusion, Kunlun has birthed such a Heavenly Pride. It's truly Kunlun's blessing!!" The Old Ancestor gazed at the Sunset Mountain Range with a face full of nostalgia, sighing, "We must accept Xu Que."
