Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 801 - 775: Something Is Not Right

Tangyu said, "Liu Dashao, you are too polite, it is our honor."

Tangyu also secretly observed this Liu Dashao. He had an extraordinary aura, and there was a sharpness between his brows. This person must be very powerful. At the very least, he should be at the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm. Earthly Realm, probably not, unless the other party is hiding very deeply.

A Ninth Layer Innate Realm practitioner should not be underestimated, especially in a small ancient martial arts force like the Liu Family. It is indeed very rare to have such a young talent.

Liu Dashao waved his hand with a smile and said, "My name is Liu Xian, everyone can just call me by name, there’s no need for this ’Liu Dashao’ stuff, it makes me feel embarrassed."

"Alright," Tangyu agreed without being pretentious.

Liu Xian made a please gesture, inviting Tangyu and the other three to sit down in the living room. Liu Xian looked at Tangyu with admiration and said, "Tangyu, you really are impressive. The cholera in Liucheng was resolved by you in less than a day. Just this ability alone is worthy of admiration."

Tangyu smiled lightly and said, "You’re flattering me, these are all small matters, just dealing with some small fish. It’s not worth mentioning to outsiders. The real big fish haven’t been caught yet. By the way, Liu Xian, aren’t you quite familiar with the situation in Liucheng? Do you know the person behind this? Have you heard of someone called Yi Shao?"

"Yi Shao?" Liu Xian shook his head and said, "I’ve really never heard of this person. Although I am quite familiar with the situation in Liucheng, you should know that my Liu Family has never involved itself in worldly matters. We isolate ourselves from the affairs of the Ancient Martial World. I do know a little about this incident, but I haven’t looked into it in detail. So I’m really not clear about the person behind it, nor do I want to know. This is the code of conduct my Liu Family has always adhered to."

"Oh, I see." Tangyu pursed his lips. If he could get some information about Yi Shao from Liu Xian, it would be the best.

After thinking for a moment, Tangyu’s face turned serious and said, "Liu Xian, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say or not."

Liu Xian looked at Tangyu and said, "If there’s something, you should definitely say it. Don’t hesitate."

Tangyu then shared some of his speculations about the cholera in Liucheng, focusing on the possibility that Yi Shao’s target could be the upcoming Myriad Immortals Conference and provided his own reasonable analysis.

This Myriad Immortals Conference is hosted by the Liu Family, so the Liu Family naturally has to take on the responsibility. Moreover, if Yi Shao’s target is indeed the Myriad Immortals Conference, the Liu Family cannot escape the involvement. It can be said that it is closely related to the Liu Family.

After hearing this, Liu Xian frowned deeply, lost in thought. After a long while, he said, "Brother Tangyu, thank you for informing me of this situation. From what you’ve said, this possibility does seem real, and the likelihood is not small. However—my Liu Family has always remained aloof from worldly affairs, as everyone in the Ancient Martial Realm knows. Would Yi Shao really target my Liu Family? Moreover—there will be hundreds of ancient martial artists gathering, and with my Liu Family hosting, does Yi Shao really have the guts?" freewёbnoνel.com

Tangyu shook his head and said, "I don’t know. We don’t even know Yi Shao’s background or his capabilities, or what means he has. But one thing is certain, Yi Shao is coming with a strong force and extraordinary means. No matter what, better safe than sorry. If Yi Shao’s target is not the Myriad Immortals Conference, that would be the best. So I think we should take some preemptive measures, or else we might be caught off guard."

Liu Xian nodded and said, "Yes, better safe than sorry. We must be cautious. Brother Tangyu, don’t worry, I will definitely be on high alert and won’t give Yi Shao any chance to exploit. Unless Yi Shao is strong enough to confront our Myriad Immortals Conference directly. If he truly is that strong, then any preparations we make would be in vain."

"Hmm." Tangyu nodded.

Liu Xian stood up and said, "Brother Tangyu, I won’t entertain you any longer. I’ll go make these arrangements. You can take care of yourselves. This estate has beautiful scenery for you to enjoy. I’ll take my leave now."

"Alright, don’t worry about us," Tangyu nodded.

Liu Xian then directly left.

After sending off Liu Xian, Tangyu didn’t feel relieved; instead, he frowned.

Liang Youshan pursed his lips and said, "Boss, what are you still worried about? Thinking too much now won’t help; we can only take things as they come."

Tangyu shook his head and said, "I have a bad feeling, like something is off. Do any of you have that feeling?"

The three of them were stunned and looked at each other in confusion. Liang Youshan said, "Boss, what exactly do you mean by something being off?"

"Liu Xian," Tangyu said.

Liang Youshan thought for a moment and then said, "Boss, now that you mention it, Liu Xian does seem a bit off, but it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what. It’s just a strange feeling."

Tangyu nodded and said, "Right, it’s very strange. I have this feeling too but can’t pinpoint it. So I’m wondering what it is that makes us feel something’s not right. Liu Xian’s behavior doesn’t have any obvious suspicious points, so why do I still feel something’s off?"

This feeling left Tangyu puzzled, but he always trusted his intuition.

At least, it had never failed him before.

Liang Youshan thought about it seriously for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Oh, I got it, ambition. Yes, that’s right, ambition. Although Liu Xian presents himself as a refined scholar, the feeling he gives me is that he’s a very ambitious person. On the surface, it doesn’t show much, but from the way he speaks and the occasional flash of sharpness in his eyes, you can tell that he’s definitely someone with great ambition. The Liu Family may indeed stay away from worldly affairs, but why does Liu Xian have such great ambition?"

"Moreover, Liu Xian’s strength must be formidable, at least of the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm. Such a person can certainly be considered a talent with extraordinary gifts, a true genius. His arrogance is understandable, but the ambition he inadvertently exudes is somewhat unsettling. So I feel he’s also someone with deep calculations. We should be cautious with his words."

With Liang Youshan’s reminder, Tangyu also realized, "Yes, ambition. I can sense it too; Liu Xian is indeed extremely ambitious. But in front of us, he acts very refined and gentle, which shows his deep calculations. Perhaps that’s why we feel somewhat uneasy. However, given the importance of this matter, I hope Liu Xian will take it to heart. Maybe we’re just overthinking."

Liang Youshan nodded. The cooperation of the Liu Family was indeed of great importance.

"Never mind, let’s not dwell on this for now. Since we’re here, we shouldn’t just stay in the house. Let’s go out and see the other forces’ martial artists," said Tangyu, getting up.

Liang Youshan said, "By the way, Boss, I heard there’s a sacred land within the Liu Family estate, an ancient site left behind. During the Myriad Immortals Conference, this sacred land is open to outsiders, and many have gained significant benefits from it before. I think we should go and check it out."

"A sacred land, then let’s go," Tangyu was quite intrigued.

Unfamiliar with the Liu Family estate, Tangyu and his party planned to ask someone for directions to the sacred land. Suspecting it might be in the back hills, the four of them headed that way.

Reaching the back hills, Tangyu saw two men walking towards the same direction. They smiled friendly as they approached.

One man said, "You guys are heading to the sacred land in the back hills too?"

Tangyu nodded, "Yes, you too? Let’s go together."

"Haha, yes, it’s definitely a place not to be missed. By the way, how should we address you all? We are both from the Thousand Crane Sect; my name is Guan Shanye, and he is Dong Xiangyang," said the man warmly.

Running into fellow martial artists while traveling is indeed a pleasant experience.

After all, martial artists are still relatively rare in this world.

Tangyu introduced himself and his companions, "We are all outer sect disciples of Myriad Saints Valley."

Upon hearing that they were outer sect disciples of Myriad Saints Valley, Guan Shanye and Dong Xiangyang were somewhat surprised and showed respect. Myriad Saints Valley was one of the Nine Great Heavens, standing above any sacred land. Even outer sect disciples from there carried significant status.

"Nice to meet you. It’s an honor to meet disciples from Myriad Saints Valley," said Guan Shanye, bowing slightly.

Tangyu smiled faintly, "You’re too kind. We’re just outer sect disciples, not much to speak of."

"Haha, even outer sect disciples from Myriad Saints Valley stand a cut above the rest just from their status," laughed Guan Shanye.

While conversing, the six of them arrived at the sacred land. Around a hundred people were already gathered there.

Though called a sacred land, it was more like a ruin, with crumbling walls, some carved images on the cliff, and a few broken statues. Nothing much else could be seen.

Without being told it was a sacred land, it would surely be ignored.

Seeing the sacred land in this condition, Tangyu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Liang Youshan curled his lips, showing disappointment, "So this is the sacred land? It’s so dilapidated, quite different from what I imagined."

Guan Shanye smiled, "This is the sacred land. If it weren’t so broken down, the Liu Family wouldn’t just leave it like this, nor would they open it to us. But it is still a sacred land, and there’s always a chance of finding great opportunities."

Tangyu sneered, "Let’s go take a look."

The six entered the ruins, but before Tangyu could observe the sculptures and carvings, a commotion drew their attention. In a clearing, more than half of the martial artists had gathered, watching a fight.
