Chapter 607: Engagement Troubles
Because Shen Xiang came from the Mortal Martial World, no one had detailed information about him. They only knew that he was currently living in the City Lord's Mansion and had killed the Second City Lord with brutal means. Not only was he not held accountable by Du Yanyao, he also became Du Yanyao's fiancé.
This caused a lot of speculation among people, and most people classified him as a descendant of a reclusive family.
Because it is now the eve of the Shengdan Conference, many young people from prominent families have gathered in Shengdan City. Anyone who knows Shengdan City will know that a martial arts competition will be held before this to determine the power of Shengdan City and the person to be in charge will be decided through the competition.
The families that have the power to compete are all large families with many industries in Shengdan City.
"Cousin, did you decide on this marriage yourself? You actually got engaged to someone else without the consent of your grandfather and your parents. You are so disrespectful to your elders!"
Shen Xiang came out of the underground secret room and heard a man scolding Du Yanyao in an angry tone outside the hall. This man was Du Yanyao's cousin.
Walking into the hall, Shen Xiang saw a tall and burly middle-aged man wearing a golden and luxurious suit, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard, with a look of indignation on his face.
"At the peak of the Hundred Refining Realm, you're finished to reach this level at this age." Long Xueyi snorted.
Seeing Shen Xiang walk in, Du Yanyao's cousin suddenly turned around and glared at Shen Xiang.
Du Yanyao frowned. Seeing her cousin treating Chen Xiang so rudely, she immediately became angry: "It's not someone else's turn to talk about my marriage. I'm getting married, not someone else's!"
"Please leave the City Lord's Mansion. I don't welcome you. Do you think I don't know that you and Xie Haodong are friends?"
Seeing Du Yanyao getting angry and even wanting to fight, the cousin was slightly surprised. This made him believe even more that Du Yanyao was engaged, because it was the first time he saw Du Yanyao caring so much about a man.
"Hmph, just wait and see!" The cousin stared at Chen Xiang coldly: "Boy, what kind of magic did you use to confuse people..."
"If you slander me again, even if you are Yan Yao's biological brother, I will never let you leave the City Lord's Mansion!" Shen Xiang clenched his fists and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him expressionlessly.
"Shentu Yong, get out of here right now!" Du Yanyao was angry and shouted coldly.
Shen Tu Yong put his hands behind his back and sneered at Du Yanyao: "Cousin, even if you join forces with this kid, I'm afraid you are no match for me! Don't be stubborn and don't fall for this kid's evil spell. Turn back!"
The angry Du Yanyao just wanted to take action, but after taking a few steps, she felt a gust of wind suddenly passing by her, and a deafening and angry tiger roar came. She saw that Shen Tu Yong's tall body was suddenly covered by countless white tiger heads. The incomparable murderous aura surged from Shen Xiang's body, which made people terrified.
Although Shen Xiang was angry, he did not lose his mind. He simply used the Hand of the God of Death and the White Tiger King Fist to attack Shen Tu Yong. Moreover, his every move was a fusion of physical strength and true energy. The power was extremely strong. Thousands of fists burst out in an instant, all containing extremely violent and murderous power. That kind of momentum made people fall into endless fear of death.
Countless fists hit Shentu Yong's body, and suddenly there was a series of popping noises, shaking the small house violently. Most of the furniture inside was shattered by the strong sound waves. This was actually the power to subdue demons!
After being integrated into the Demon-Suppressing Bloodline, the Demon-Subduing Power became even more ferocious, and even Shen Xiang himself was frightened, although he was only using the first level of the Demon-Subduing Power now.
Shen Tu Yong was not knocked away, but was pulled by a suction force, making his body seem to be stuck to Shen Xiang's fist, and was ravaged by Shen Xiang's violent White Tiger King Fist.
Watching those furious white tiger fists roaring and hitting Shen Tu Yong, every time they hit, there was a crisp explosion, which made people's eardrums hurt. The most frightening thing was the fierce murderous aura. This murderous aura made people feel like Shen Xiang was a demon from hell!
All the bones in Shen Tu Yong's lower body were broken, his meridians burst, and his flesh and blood were blurred. He did not expect that Shen Xiang would suddenly attack him, and his attack was so brutal. He was unable to resist in an instant and was seriously injured. Moreover, he used very appropriate force to burn his body, making him suffer a lot of pain.
"I'll spare your life!" Shen Xiang's foot, which was filled with demon-subduing power, kicked Shen Tu Yong in the abdomen. With a loud thunder, Shen Tu Yong vomited blood and flew out, falling at the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
When Shentu Yong's followers saw this, they all chased after them, and Du Yanyao immediately gave orders that if Shentu Yong's men tried to fight back, they should all be arrested!
"You're too cruel!" Du Yanyao sighed softly. Although she said so, she did not mean to blame him. Instead, she praised Shen Xiang's actions.
Chen Xiang laughed and said, "Who made him anger my fiancée?"
Although Du Yanyao found Shen Xiang as a joke, her face still blushed slightly, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
The news that Shen Tu Yong was seriously injured and was carried out of the City Lord's Mansion spread quickly, because it was Du Yanyao's fiancé who beat him. Shen Tu Yong was also somewhat famous. After all, he was a member of the Shen Tu family, and he also knew many children of famous nobles and had a wide network of contacts. But now he was beaten to the point where he could not take care of himself. This was equivalent to a provocation to the Shen Tu family and some of Shen Tu Yong's friends.
Shen Xiang was not afraid of these at all. As long as he could survive the Holy Pill Conference, he would hide in the Poison Fairy Demon Forest to practice. When the time was right, he would return to the Mortal Martial Realm. In the Mortal Realm, even the Immortals could not stand up to him, because the Immortals could not go to that place.
Inside Du Yanyao's house, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing asked, "Where is that guy?"
Du Yanyao stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm in seclusion! Daddy, how come you have time to come?"
"I'm here to help my son-in-law, whom I've never met, clean up the mess. Although some old guys in the family talk about you, saying that you have no respect for your elders and make decisions without informing them, daddy believes in your vision!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Shen Xiang watched all this with his soul traveling in the nine heavens. After he merged with the demon-suppressing bloodline, his soul became much stronger, allowing him to travel a certain distance during the day.
"Du Hai is back, doesn't the Du family know?" Shen Xiang was puzzled. At this moment, he saw the middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Du Hai. He was Du Yanyao's father, Du Kangsheng!
"Daddy, there is a reason for this. He and I are not really engaged..." Du Yanyao carefully recounted the story of how she and Shen Xiang met, but she omitted the part where she was poisoned.
"This guy is the one who single-handedly wiped out the army of the demon world that day. He is indeed not an ordinary person! I don't care what happens between you and him, but you'd better be sensible and don't make yourself sad!" Du Kangsheng knew his daughter very well, and of course he saw something.
