Chen Hao then followed Li Xiuxiu.
He thought she had some urgent matter, but as it turned out, she only wanted him to help her hold a parrot.
This parrot could mimic the speech of humans.
However, for some reason, it could not do so when it reached here.
Since the demon bull was afraid of Chen Hao previously, perhaps this parrot was scared of Chen Hao as well. Thus, she thought of letting Chen Hao hold it.
Chen Hao simply shook his head in annoyance.
He was worried that Li Xiuxiu would continue pestering him, so he nodded his head and agreed to her request.
âI did not expect you to be so cunning. That is the Qin Family, isnât it? I would have never expected you to be able to get acquainted with them. Anyway, you should be thanking me, Chen Hao. Hmph.
Actually, asking you to hold this parrot for me was only part of the reason I pulled you overâ¦â
After Li Xiuxiu had brought Chen Hao to the Underground Level, she slowly explained herself.
âWhat do you mean?â
Feeling curious, Chen Hao let out a chuckle.
âYou probably donât know that the Qin Family has a grudge against the Wan Family. If the Wan Family sees you hanging around with the Qin Family when you go in later, youâll be in deep trouble!â Li Xiuxiu sounded displeased.
âOh, I get what youâre trying to say. Haha, very well. Thank you then!â Chen Hao gave her a smile.
âXiuxiu, what are you doing hanging around with this loser? Surely, youâve not caught feelings for him, have you?â
A few of the girls beside Li Xiuxiu covered their mouths as they started teasing her.
âNo way, stop with your nonsense. Why would I fall for him?â Li Xiuxiu was speechless.
However, truth to be told, Li Xiuxiu did have some good feelings for Chen Hao.
She felt that Chen Hao was a great guy who had a kind heart.
Due to their acquaintance with the Wan Family, Li Xiuxiu and the rest of them were able to move freely within the whole compound of the Salvaged Dragon Villa.
After finding a nice spot, they took their seats.
With Chen Hao tagging along, he had gotten himself a place in the front seats thanks to Li Xiuxiuâs influence.
Chen Hao wanted to leave but eventually decided against it because firstly, Li Xiuxiu told him she had called him over for his own benefit.
The second reason he stayed was because he would be able to have a good view of the experts who would be joining the fight later.
After all, it was his first time witnessing fights between the true cultivators.
Thus, Chen Hao devoted all of his attention to the ceremony.
It was a grand, circular hall with a fighting ring at the centre.
More than 30 families who joined the fight were seated outside the fighting ring.
The families looked like they had the utmost respect for the Wan Family but actually, they had other intentions.
Everyone was aware of the significance of this ceremony. Hence, all of them were secretly competing with each other.
However, from Chen Haoâs quiet observation, he noticed that the Wan Family and the Li Family were the only families which possessed actual capabilities among all those families.
The remaining families had cultivators by their side, but their strengths still did not surpass Li Shaozongâs because after they went up on stage, Li Shaozong defeated them in just a few bouts without mercy.
However, even Wan Yaozong was puzzled at how Li Shaozongâs strength had been enhanced so quickly.
Wan Yaozong knew Li Shaozong quite wellâthe latter was just a First Tier Cultivator, so how could he defeat so many other First Tier Cultivators that easily?
Could it be that he had transcended the first tier and was no longer a First Tier Cultivator?
Wan Yaozong was appalled.
Slam!
In the blink of an eye, another elderly cultivator had been defeated in the ring.
âYou have surpassed your own master. I shall willingly accept my defeat!â
After giving Li Shaozong a deep bow, the elderly man turned around and left.
Everyone at the scene had fixed their gazes on this young man.
He was strong! He was really strong!
After witnessing the fall of another expert from the families, Wan Yaozong started to get anxious.
âWould this yearâs power to be in charge inevitably fall into the Li Familyâs hands?â he muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Wan Xue glanced at Li Shaozong with a look of admiration.
It was at this moment did she truly understand this man.
Just like what the fortune-teller had predicted previously, his martial arts skills were unparalleled; it was something common people could not emulate.
âAlthough Li Shaozong is an arrogant person, he is very handsome! No wonder Wan Xue fancies him!â
said Xiuxiu.
At the same time, she looked at Chen Hao mockingly.
âHaha, are you jealous after hearing what I said? I know you love Wan Xue, but itâs a pity the person she loves is not you, but the man in the center of all attention, Li Shaozong!â said Xiuxiu.
âOh!â
Chen Hao nodded.
He was waiting and observing the scene.
He was trying to see if there were still any more people who were stronger than Li Shaozong there.
This is such a grand ceremony. It canât be that only the First, Second and Third Tier Cultivators came, right? There are surely other formidable people, Chen Hao thought to himself.
This was why he decided against showing himself for the moment.
âLooks like the power to be in charge is going to fall into the hands of the Li Family!â
At this moment, Wan Yaozong could only chuckle helplessly.
âThis is really worrying. Where did Master go? Why hasnât he appeared yet? This ceremony is coming to an end soon!â Qin Yong was so anxious he kept scratching his head.
He became even more exasperated, especially after looking at Li Shaozong standing in the ring with his eyes shut and arms crossed.
Damn it, this guy is so full of himself. He does not have any respect for anyone but what a pity that nobody has the capability to teach him a lesson.
âWhat, the Qin Family does not have anyone else that is capable enough? Are you guys here to watch the show only? Have you guys joined any fight since you arrived?â Wan Yaozong looked at the Qin Family, mocking them.
âBastard, I think itâs the Wan Family that is incapable. Wan Yaozong, weâll be able to settle some of our grudges very soon!â Qin Xuanfeng snorted.
âHahaha, very well. I would like to see for myself how the Qin Family is planning on doing that!â Wan Yaozong burst into laughter.
Seeing that no one dared to challenge Li Shaozong at this moment, Wan Yaozong declared loudly, âThe Wan Family has been defeated. I wonder if thereâs anyone else who would like to challenge my nephew, Shaozong. If thereâs no objection, this yearâs right to lead will fall into my nephew, Shaozongâs hands.â
After quite some time, there was still no response after Wan Yaozongâs announcement.
âHahahaâ¦â
Just then, there was suddenly a boisterous laughter from the crowd.
The laughter was so thunderous the whole venue shook and cracks appeared around the place.
A lot of people nearly passed out from the deafening sound; even covering their ears proved to be futile.
Li Xiuxiu and the other girls also started shrieking in pain.
Fortunately, Chen Hao managed to seal their blood vessels in time, thus allowing them to return to normal.
However, this personâs laughter sounded familiar to Chen Hao.
Who else would have this laughter other than Xiao Cangsheng?
âWan Yaozong, you bastard. Since when have you been so generous that youâre willing to let this right to lead fall into another personâs hands? You must be up to no good, arenât you?â
He started laughing again in a mocking way.
Wan Yaozongâs expression hardened in an instant.
âWho is that?â he shouted out furiously.
Slap!
What followed next was a violent slap across his face.
Wan Yaozong could not even dodge it at all as he took the slap right across his face.
He collapsed to the ground; half of his face had swollen up.
âWhat? You donât even recognize your own grandfather anymore?â
With that, an old man could be seen descending from above the air and landing on the stageâ¦
