Chapter 13

The head of the Liu family was not shocked by his son’s vicious words; what shocked him was how his son could speak the truth.

But that young boy from the Liu family seemed possessed, completely oblivious to the warning looks his father was giving him. He continued to arrogantly glare at Xuanyuan Tianxin, proudly stating, “Your family is just a bunch of outsiders in Daze City. The Liu family can bully whoever we want here. We just threw a stone at that idiot, and you dare to help her? If I don’t avenge this, my name isn’t Liu Hanwu…”

As he spoke, seemingly growing more pleased with himself, he laughed heartily, noticing the sudden grim expressions on the faces of Yu Niang and her family. Then, pointing at Yu Niang, he continued, “What are you so proud of, old woman? Just because you have some strength, do you flaunt it? If you’re capable, then come at me. The Liu family has plenty of people. Even if you’re at the Eighth Stage of the Martial Ancestor Realm, what does it matter? We can send someone to deal with you…”

“Besides you, who else among this bunch of outsiders can compete? Or him?” He pointed at the grim-faced Yufan, smirking, “Even the head of the household can’t control his own wife. Useless!”

“Bang!”

Before he could finish calling her useless, Suifeng stormed out with a grim face and delivered a kick, sending him flying.

Liu Hanwu screamed in agony as Suifeng’s kick sent him flying several meters away.

“Liu family, don’t think you can bully others with impunity! If I hear any more disrespect from you, believe me, I’ll kill you on the spot!”

This time, Suifeng was truly angry, showing no mercy with his kick.

But Liu Biao, seeing his son kicked away, didn’t bother to intervene because he had trouble of his own.

That trouble came from Yu Niang.

Yu Niang was exuding pressure directly focused on him alone. If it weren’t for his own strength at the Sixth Stage of the Martial Ancestor Realm, he might have been flattened by that pressure.

Though he resisted the pressure, it wasn’t easy. Seeing Yu Niang’s fiery gaze, Liu Biao’s face twitched, looking at Xuanyuan Tianxin and gritting his teeth. “You wretched girl, what kind of sorcery did you use to control my son?”

Though Liu Biao didn’t know why his son suddenly spoke the truth in front of everyone, he wasn’t dumb and sensed it had something to do with Xuanyuan Tianxin.

Now, with his son exposing himself like this in front of everyone, it could tarnish their family’s reputation. So, he immediately shifted blame to Xuanyuan Tianxin.

Liu Hanwu’s sudden change occurred right after Xuanyuan Tianxin’s questioning, and her strange words just now were clearly some sort of manipulation.

After Liu Biao’s reminder, the onlookers all turned their gazes towards the seemingly innocent Xuanyuan Tianxin, and many of their expressions changed.

The term “sorcery” wasn’t something to be taken lightly. If this girl was capable of sorcery, wouldn’t she be a demon?

Seeing the sudden fear in the eyes of the crowd, Suifeng quickly shielded Xuanyuan Tianxin behind him and glared at Liu Biao, shouting, “Nonsense! If anyone’s using sorcery here, it’s you! If you dare to slander again, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

“Slander? My son was perfectly fine until this girl came along and questioned him. If she’s not using sorcery, then what is it?”

At this point, Liu Biao didn’t care about anything else. Even if Xuanyuan Tianxin wasn’t using sorcery, he would likely paint her as a demon.

Only Yufan’s gaze flickered slightly when looking at Xuanyuan Tianxin, a hint of surprise fleeting in the depths of his eyes.

Yu Niang, on the other hand, glared at Liu Biao with a furious expression, resembling a lioness ready to pounce on her prey at any moment. “Liu Biao, if you dare to spout nonsense again, believe me, I’ll leave you here for good today!”

“Pah! Yu Qingyan… even if you kill me today, you won’t silence the rumors!” Liu Biao’s eyes narrowed, sneering. “Your family harbors a demon who practices sorcery. Not only will our Liu family not spare you, even the Wuxiang palace won’t let you off!”

Bringing up the Wuxiang Palace was a mistake. Liu Biao’s mention of it caused Yu Niang’s killing intent to skyrocket.

However, amidst the tension, Xuanyuan Tianxin, protected by Suifeng, suddenly chuckled.

Her sudden laughter drew everyone’s gaze back to her.

Liu Biao, for some reason, felt a jolt in his heart.

Xuanyuan Tianxin gently pushed Suifeng aside and walked out from behind him. Seeing her movement, Yufeng’s expression turned anxious. “Xiaowu, don’t worry; we’ll protect you.”

“Big Brother Feng, it’s okay; you don’t need to worry.”

Seeing Suifeng’s worried expression, Xuanyuan Tianxin smiled and shook her head, then looked at Liu Biao and the others below the steps, lightly laughing, “So you think I’m a demon who practices sorcery?”

At her words, Liu Biao squinted but didn’t speak.

Xuanyuan Tianxin chuckled and then suddenly pointed towards a large tree at the door, saying slowly, “Heavenly dao—by the power of speech, let the strength be wielded by me, uproot!”

“Boom!”

As her voice fell, the tree, thick enough to require three people to encircle it, trembled. Then, as if struck by an invisible force, it was actually uprooted.

Seeing the suddenly uprooted tree floating quietly in mid-air, everyone gasped in shock, their gazes towards Xuanyuan Tianxin turning fearful.

She had actually uprooted the tree with just a sentence!?

With a sweet smile, Xuanyuan Tianxin looked at Liu Biao, who was now pale with shock, and asked, “Is this what you call sorcery?”

While Xuanyuan Tianxin’s actions towards Liu Hanwu might have gone unnoticed by many before, this time, everyone saw it clearly.

But because they saw it clearly, the surrounding crowd fell into stunned silence.

Yu Niang, after a moment of astonishment, immediately regained her composure and burst into laughter.

She looked at Liu Biao, whose face had turned pale, with a mocking gaze, saying, “Sorcery? Is the head of the Liu family so shortsighted? Mistaking a prestigious Heavenly Language Master for a demon? Forget about the Wuxiang Palace, even the royal family might hold you accountable!”

The surrounding crowd erupted into murmurs.

What did the title “Heavenly Language” represent in the entire Longhao Empire? Who wouldn’t know?

If martial prowess and spiritual energy were the two pillars, then above spiritual cultivation was a more esteemed profession: the Heavenly Language Master!

Only a Heavenly Language Master possessed such divine abilities, controlling the world with just a word!

If, among a million people, a hundred thousand could cultivate spirituality, then it would be rare to find even ten Heavenly Language masters among ten million.

So, throughout the entire Longhao Empire, the Heavenly Language Master was the most respected existence.

Mistaking a respected Heavenly language master for a demon was a grave accusation that not even the Liu family could afford to bear.
