Chapter 627: Two Elders [Fourth Update]
In the vast grassland, there were three simple tents erected.
Two elders dressed in plain robes stood outside the tent, their faces grim and solemn.
Opposite them stood a group of at least a dozen tall foreigners, exuding an imposing aura.
"Old fools, if you know what's good for you, scram," one of them said.
"This place isn't for you to have, only our Trastamara family is worthy."
The leader, a young man in his early thirties with long golden hair billowing in the sea breeze, spoke with an air of arrogance.
In the face of the young man's aggressive pressure, the two elders simply said in an even tone, "If you don't want to die, then get lost."
A glint of murderous intent flickered in the young man's eyes as he raised an eyebrow and said, "Old man, are you sure you're talking to me? Do you have any idea who I am?"
"What a nuisance, Tinghai, you deal with it, I'll go check on the cliff," the elder on the left waved his hand impatiently.
"Bullying these youngsters would disgrace my old face," Li Tinghai shook his head reluctantly, "If someone's going to beat you, it's not going to be me."
Seeing the two old men shirking responsibility between them, the other side flew into a rage, "You two old geezers won't escape today, I'll throw all of you into the sea to feed the sharks."
Enraged, the young man waved his hand and ordered, "Break their arms and legs."
"These two old fools are really pathetic, daring to provoke young master Desiwal."
"With the eldest son away, the second son holds authority. Today, these two old men are in for it."
A group of blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners immediately rushed forward, surrounding the two elders.
The commotion caught the attention of many, and various powers were surprised to see these foreigners about to deal with the two elders.
"Have those kids gone mad?"
"Mad indeed, even daring to confront Cultivators from Xuan Country, they're really seeking death."
"What about Xuan Country's Cultivators? They're just two old men."
"You don't know shit. Cultivators in Xuan Country grow stronger with age. Don't look at those two old men as frail; if they really start fighting, you may not find someone more powerful on this entire island."
"For real?"
"Would I lie to you? Look at the territory these two old men occupy, it's the highest spot on the entire island. How many people covet it? Why do these two occupy it? Obviously, because they are powerful. Do you think those who are jealous haven't thought of making a move? I've heard that recently, a few blind fools thought these two looked weak and tried to take over their territory. They ended up getting slapped and sent flying."
"Holy shit, are they that impressive?"
"What's the background of these two old men?"
"I'm not sure of the details, but they're definitely from a top-tier Cultivating family in Xuan Country."
Young master Desiwal let out a sinister chuckle and barked, "Do it!"
"Yes, sir!"
A dozen Spirit Attachers immediately activated the spirits within them, some manipulating flames, others commanding weapons.
The spirits awakened by the Spirit Attachers were incredibly varied, encompassing water, fire, earth, wood, lightning, blades, spears, clubs, staves, and all manner of beasts.
The dozen unleashed their most powerful moves, aiming to kill the two elders with a single strike.
Seeing that their opponents had actually made a move, the two men no longer cared whether it was bullyish to fight with the younger generation or not.
Li Tinghai remained cool and collected, lifting his right foot and gently tapping it on the ground.
"Boom!"
Immediately, everyone felt the ground shake violently under their feet as if an earthquake had struck, and the Spiritual Power they had summoned dispersed in an instant.
"Holy crap!"
"That strong?"
"This is freaking awesome!"
Shouts of astonishment were constantly erupting from the crowd as Master Desiwal himself was shocked by that kick, stumbling back several steps.
Li Tinghai looked indifferent and coldly said, "Get lost!"
Those guys didn't dare to resist at all, let alone plan any sort of revenge. Scrambling up from the ground, they turned and fled.
Desiwal stood at a distance, his face beet red as he glared at Li Tinghai, finally squeezing out, "Just you wait, this isn't over!"
After dropping that threatening line, Desiwal turned and ran.
The onlookers were both shocked by Li Tinghai's terrifying cultivation level and speechless at Desiwal's idiotic behavior.
If it were someone more ruthless, they could strangle him in a minute for uttering such a threat.
When Li Xiaoyao arrived, he witnessed this scene.
Although Li Tinghai had only channeled his strength into his right foot to make the ground shake, Li Xiaoyao was still surprised.
Typically, Spirit Cultivation Realm cultivators could shake the ground with a stomp like Li Tinghai did, since it was just brute force.
But Li Tinghai was different from the others; he could precisely control every muscle in his body to achieve maximum effect with minimal effort.
Li Xiaoyao walked through the crowd, heading towards the two men.
Li Tinghai immediately noticed Li Xiaoyao, his eyes lighting up. He then felt something strange and, frowning in thought, said, "Eh, why does this kid look so familiar? Hey, Li Yunchen, come take a look."
The Great Elder Li Yunchen appeared impatient and said, "Look at what? What's there to see?"
Suddenly, Li Yunchen saw Li Xiaoyao, his remaining words stuck in his throat, sharing the same puzzled look with Li Tinghai.
"This kid... why does he look so much like..."
"Right? You think he looks like him too?" Even though he didn't specify, Li Tinghai knew exactly what he meant.
By now, Li Xiaoyao had walked up to them and stood before the two elders, asking, "Are you two from the Li Family Elders?"
"Kid, you look very familiar," Li Tinghai demanded, staring at him. "What's your relation to Chengfeng?"
"He's my dad."
The two exchanged glances and then said with a smile, "It seems Chengfeng's son is indeed you. A fine young man indeed, not bad at all."
In the crowd, a few people saw Li Xiaoyao and their eyes lit up.
"Elder, it's that kid!" Korr pointed at Li Xiaoyao's figure, his face swollen and covered with ointments, and whispered loudly.
The elders from the Spirit Attachers' Guild immediately looked in the direction of his gesturing finger and indeed saw Li Xiaoyao.
Hatred flickered in Korr's eyes as he said, "This brat even dares to provoke those two powerful cultivators; he's really courting death."
"This is a great opportunity!" An elder's eyes sparkled as he said, "If we deal with this arrogant kid in front of those two strong masters, we can make their acquaintance and possibly foster a good relationship with them."
Another elder, his eyes brightening at the suggestion, said, "Good idea!"
"Let's do it!"
The elders briefly conferred with each other, thrilled at the prospect.
Those were two powerful cultivators from Xuan Country, and befriending them could bring great benefits to their Spirit Attachers' Guild.
