Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 800 - 774: Guests at the Liu Family

Wang Wei suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, boss, your mention of it has jogged my memory. Have you ever heard of the Myriad Immortals Conference?"

Tangyu’s brows furrowed slightly, "The Myriad Immortals Conference?"

Liang Youshan seemed not to have heard of it either, "What is the Myriad Immortals Conference?"

Wang Wei explained, "The history of the Myriad Immortals Conference is quite ancient, passed down from the Liu Family’s Holy Land. Now, it is hosted by the Liu Family and takes place only once every five years. In the Ancient Martial Realm, the conference is still quite renowned, although not as much as before. Still, I heard that each Myriad Immortals Conference manages to attract at least dozens of Ancient Martial forces, with the number of participants usually exceeding a hundred. It’s even possible that disciples from the top ten Holy Lands would attend."

Tangyu immediately showed some interest, "Having such influence is not bad at all. What exactly does the Myriad Immortals Conference entail?"

Wang Wei said, "It seems to mainly be a grand trading assembly where any treasures can be brought up for trade, and indeed, some rare treasures might appear there. But most importantly, it’s a gathering for Ancient Martial Artists, an opportunity for young talents from various major forces to interact. There’s also a segment for sparring on the Martial Platform. All in all, it’s like a gathering for the smaller Ancient Martial forces. In the Ancient Martial Realm, it’s not considered a very big event."

It was only then that Tangyu was relieved, "So that’s it, no wonder I haven’t heard of it before."

"If that’s the case, then this Yishao’s real purpose very likely revolves around the Myriad Immortals Conference. This mysterious force has always been covertly targeting major Ancient Martial forces, so it makes sense for them to make a move during such a prime opportunity. Wang Wei, when exactly is this Myriad Immortals Conference?" Tangyu asked.

Wang Wei thought for a moment and said, "It should be in a few days, I believe. I’m not sure about the exact timing, but it’s definitely happening soon."

Tangyu nodded, "It seems so, then. It appears that Yishao’s target is indeed the Myriad Immortals Conference. Since we now have a clear objective, it will be much easier to prepare rather than blindly striking out."

Liang Youshan, uncharacteristically serious, said, "Boss, if Yishao is really targeting the Myriad Immortals Conference, then the forces behind him should not be underestimated. Not to mention others, the Liu Family alone has Ancient Martial Artists who are at the Second Layer of Divine Skills. Although Liucheng has declined, their strength is not weak. Plus, there will be participants from many other forces, the combined power should definitely not be underestimated. If this Yishao is confident enough to take on the Myriad Immortals Conference, their power might be more than we can handle."

Tangyu nodded, "You’re right, this is indeed something we need to consider. But we can’t find anyone to help; we’ll have to handle this on our own. The best method is to first make contact with the Liu Family, explain the situation to them, and seek their help. If we manage that, we won’t be at such a disadvantage. If the Liu Family prepares in advance, things should turn out much better."

"True. The Liu Family, huh? Since we’re not familiar with them, how shall we get in touch? Simply show up at their door?" Liang Youshan nodded in agreement.

Tangyu thought it over and said, "That seems to be the only way, we’ll just have to pay them a visit. They’re about to host the Myriad Immortals Conference, so we can use attending the conference as a pretext. I believe they won’t turn us away."

"Yes, that works. Then let’s set off after we finish eating; the Liu Family does not reside within Liucheng," Liang Youshan said.

After breakfast, Tangyu and Xinyue told the others they had to leave for a bit. Just as the four of them were about to leave, a car pulled up, and a handsome young man in his early twenties stepped out.

Upon exiting the car, the young man’s gaze immediately turned to Tangyu and he said, "Are you Tangyu?"

Tangyu raised an eyebrow, not recognizing the stranger, but he felt the aura of an Ancient Martial Artist coming from him. Since an Ancient Martial Artist had approached him directly, Tangyu also responded, "That’s right."

The young man smiled and said, "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Liu Yan, a disciple of the Liu Family. I am here under orders from my elder brother to invite you to our residence. We would also like to invite you to this Myriad Immortals Conference, would you grace us with your presence?"

"Oh," Tangyu also smiled, finding the situation quite coincidental. Just as he was planning to visit the Liu Family, they had sent someone to invite him. With such a proactive invitation, naturally, it was more than welcome.

Tangyu naturally wouldn’t refuse, "Haha, I have always been quite interested in the Myriad Immortals Conference, so I am definitely willing to attend. Thank you for the invitation."

The young man nodded with a smile and gestured for them to enter the car, "Then please, get in."

Liang Youshan discreetly made a gesture to Tangyu, implying for him to be cautious, wary of any deceit in this rather coincidental encounter.

Tangyu was naturally cautious, but he felt that the man was genuine. Moreover, even if it was a trap, Tangyu was not afraid, considering it a case of a skilled artist being bold. Tangyu signaled to get in the car, and without any further ado, the four boarded quickly.

In the car, Liang Youshan still maintained a degree of vigilance and said, "Liu Yan, your Liu Family is quite well-informed, aren’t they? We have only been in Liucheng for a day and you already found us."

This statement was clearly a probe.

Liu Yan checked the rearview mirror and glanced at Liang Youshan, still with a friendly smile, he said, "It’s not surprising, after all, our Liu Family has rooted in Liucheng for many years. Although we don’t live in Liucheng, nothing big or small there can escape the eyes of our Liu Family. I know you are Outer Sect Disciples from Myriad Saints Valley, and I also know that you have made quite a name for yourselves recently outside of Myriad Saints Valley. And we also know that the incident last night in Liucheng was related to you or, shall I say, was caused by you all. That’s why my elder brother has noticed you and sent me to extend this invitation."

"So your elder brother is really high-handed, knowing everything," Liang Youshan replied with a twist of his mouth.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "I wouldn’t dare say ’high-handed’, but for some matters in Liucheng and Holy Sun Town, those who wish to know surely can."

Liang Youshan nodded and said, "Indeed, it’s easy if one has the intent. But what I’m more curious about is, since you understand the situation in Liucheng so well, you must also know about the recent turmoil there, and you should be aware that a mysterious power has infiltrated Liucheng?"

Liu Yan’s expression became slightly grave as he replied, "Naturally, we know that. However, our Liu Family is weak and has always stayed out of world affairs. Hence, we will not involve ourselves in this matter. Besides, our Liu Family doesn’t have the strength to confront that mysterious power, so it’s better to be detached and entirely uninvolved. Our Liu Family has always been non-contending and hidden from the world."

Liang Youshan pursed his lips; this probing had somewhat lowered his guard, and the other party was undoubtedly a member of the Liu Family.

Liu Yan drove directly out of Liucheng County and headed towards a mountainous area in the west. Liang Youshan recognized that direction; the Liu Family indeed resided there. Just a few dozen miles further there was a large estate called the Liu Family Estate, which to outsiders seemed like a private estate used for planting fruit trees and such. But in reality, it was where the Liu Family lived.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Liu Family Estate, which from a distance looked like a vast estate, resembling a large summer resort. Inside the estate, the scenery was beautiful, with various fruit trees forming woods, giving it the sensation of entering a grand orchard. If used as a tourist spot, it would undoubtedly be very popular.

The car drove straight into the estate and soon came to a stop in front of a detached villa, Liu Yan turned around and said to the four people, including Tangyu, "We’re here, please alight from the car."

Upon alighting, Tangyu and his companions surveyed the surroundings. It was an architectural complex, all styled like traditional Jiangnan water town buildings, with clear grey tile construction. Rows of villas lined the area. Besides that, there was also a large modern high-rise building and a large landscaped villa behind it.

This place could easily be compared to a large summer resort.

Surrounding the buildings, apart from several patches of grass and a hill slope, were all fruit trees, various types bearing abundant fruits, very enticing to look at.

"What a nice place, worthy of the Liu Family. The grounds must cover at least a thousand acres, quite lavish," Liang Youshan remarked with a click of his tongue.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "It’s all just mountain land, not worth much. Usually, we also open this place to the public as a tourist resort. But now there are no tourists, so you all need not worry. I’ve had the villa cleaned up; you can reside here. That over there is a hotel, you can eat anything you want. For now, please go and sit in the villa. I’ll go and report to my elder brother, and he should come to meet you later."

Tangyu nodded and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."

Liu Yan smiled, "Don’t mention it. Please excuse any inadequacies. We in the Liu Family are short on hands this time as we have too many guests. Furthermore, it involved some secrecy, so we had to temporarily send many away."

Tangyu nodded and said, "We naturally understand."

Liu Yan left.

Tangyu and the others entered the villa, which was quite simple but fully equipped and very clean.

They casually sat down in the living room, and Liang Youshan also grinned, saying, "This is really like divine aid, hah hah. Just when we thought about visiting the Liu Family, someone from the Liu Family came personally to invite us, saving us quite a bit of trouble. It’s good this way."

Tangyu nodded, having an invitation was naturally the best.

"It seems that the Myriad Immortals Conference will be held in the next few days. We might as well stay here a few days, using this time to familiarize ourselves with the environment of the Liu Family Estate," Tangyu said.

Liang Youshan nodded.

They had not sat for long when a series of footsteps came, and soon a handsome man around thirty, looking quite similar to Liu Yan and clearly someone of high status and authority within the Liu Family, walked towards them. Seeing the visitor, it seemed that this must be Liu Yan’s elder brother.

Tangyu and the others immediately got up, and Tangyu smiled and greeted the visitor with a bow.

"I presume you must be Tangyu, nice to meet you," the visitor smiled and returned the gesture to Tangyu.
