Inside the Pin Yue Residence, Liang Hao, carrying the little lackey, went straight to a seat. Ignoring the strange looks around him, he directly roared, "Quickly call out that Ji fellow behind the scenes! I want to have a good chat with him about life."
The little lackey was so frightened that he dropped to his knees in public, crying and begging for mercy, "Sir, you're my master, I beg you to spare me this time. I'm just a nobody, how could I be involved with the Ji Clan?"
"What? You, with no background at all, dare to challenge me? Was it my sister Liang Jingru who gave you the courage? Let me tell you, it's too late to beg for mercy now. If I don't see that Ji fellow kneeling in front of me and kowtowing, then this bullshit Pin Yue Residence of yours won't need to exist anymore."
His arrogant attitude and wild tone instantly caught the attention of everyone in the Pin Yue Residence.
"Hey~~"
Suddenly, a shout rang out. A burly man, who had been fondling two scantily clad women, stood up and pointed at Liang Hao.
"Where did this bumpkin come from? Daring to cause trouble in the Pin Yue Residence. Do you think this is some backwater town?"
Liang Hao cast aside the small fry and sized up the man. He immediately sneered, "Who the hell are you to meddle in my business?
Go back to eating your meal with those two cheap slags, and don't go digging your own grave!"
"How dare you!"
The burly man slammed his hand on the table, furious.
"You brat! You dare speak to me like that? It seems like I need to teach you bumpkins a lesson today, so you know who's in charge in Ju Zhou City."
The surrounding guests, sensing the situation wasn't good, quickly moved away, but they showed no signs of fear. Instead, their eyes were filled with anticipation.
"This kid is finished. He dares to talk to Xiong Wu like that? Doesn't he value his own precious life?"
"Xiong Wu can lift a three-thousand-jin millstone with one hand. Even the strongest weightlifters from England would have to kneel and call him 'Daddy'. Where did this kid get the courage to provoke him?"
"Xiong Wu will display the true demeanor of a cultivator, and his name will surely be spread throughout the streets of Ju Zhou City."
"Xiong Wu, use your mountain-moving, sea-filling strength to teach these ignorant outsiders a lesson!"
Feeling encouraged, Xiong Wu immediately circulated his spiritual energy, instantly revealing his cultivation.
"Spirit Gathering Realm, sixth rank?"
Liang Hao took a careful look at Xiong Wu's cultivation, but his face was full of disdain.
But Xiong Wu didn't notice anything unusual, thinking the other party was too scared to move because of his imposing aura.
"Brat, quickly kneel down and apologize. I might consider letting you off. Otherwise, with this punch of mine, you'll be bedridden for at least half a year."
"Hmph!"
Facing Xiong Wu's threat, Liang Hao didn't even bother to speak, just coldly snorted and looked at him with his hands behind his back and a sideways glance.
"Very good, I admire your courage, but you still can't escape this beating!"
With that, Xiong Wu threw a punch, aiming directly at Liang Hao's face. The powerful force caused the hall to tremble slightly.
"Hmph!"
Liang Hao stood still, allowing the force of the punch to come at him.
The surrounding guests saw this scene and began to whisper amongst themselves again.
"Why isn't this kid dodging, or fighting back?"
"He's probably scared stiff, unable to move."
"People from the countryside are just uncultured. They cause trouble without considering the situation; they deserve this beating."
"I thought I might see the laughable sight of an ant struggling against fate before it dies, but it seems I was expecting too much."
However, in the next moment, everyone shut their mouths.
Just as Xiong Wu's fist was about to land on Liang Hao, the Nirvana Realm's protective true essence was automatically activated.
BANG~~
Just a crisp metallic clang echoed out, and Xiong Wu's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver.
His fist was a mere three inches from Liang Hao, yet it felt as if he had struck a titanium alloy steel plate. His knuckles shattered instantly, and the pain left him drenched in cold sweat.
"Aaaah~~ Did I just punch some high-grade granite? It hurts like hell!"
Finally, Liang Hao spoke, "Is that all? Anyone who didn't know better would think you could wipe out an entire street. A mere ant dares to act tough in front of me? Let me show you what real strength is."
With those words, he casually threw a punch.
With a loud "crack," Xiong Wu's two-hundred-pound frame was sent flying, shattering a table upon landing.
"See? This is the unattainable height of being badass. This is what it means to be respected for your strength, to be at the top of the food chain in a world of the strong preying on the weak."
"Pah!"
Dealing with a Spirit Gathering Realm ant didn't give Liang Hao any sense of accomplishment.
The next moment, he grabbed the little shrimp again and asked, "Where's the guy surnamed Ji? Isn't he here yet? Hurry up and tell him to get out here."
"Hey~"
Before the little shrimp could speak, another roar was heard.
"What lowly scoundrel dares to act wild in the Pin Yue Residence? Quickly kneel down and await your death!"
Liang Hao dropped the little shrimp again and turned to look at the old man with a cane, his face clouded with gloom.
"Oh? Are you the one surnamed Ji?"
"Heh, how can my young master be seen by just anyone? Kid, let me advise you, you've caused a disaster of the heavens."
"If I were you, I'd immediately prepare a generous gift, kneel at the street corner, and kowtow all the way, begging Young Master Ji to go easy on you."
"Bah!"
Liang Hao wasn't afraid at all.
"Old geezer, since you're not from the Ji Clan, why are you out here trying to make a name for yourself?
Do you think your life is too long? You should know that even ants want to live, but you old farts, half-buried in the ground, don't cherish your remaining years."
The old man was enraged upon hearing this: "It seems you're very confident in your strength, but I still have to tell you, the world is much wider than you think."
"You dare to talk about the world? At your age, can't you be a bit more practical?" Liang Hao pointed at the old man's nose and cursed, "I only know that my elder brother is the only one qualified to call himself the heavens.
What right do you cats and dogs have to shout out this profound saying? I advise you to get lost."
"Don't wait until the bloody reality falls on you before you realize you're sitting alone in a corner, weeping."
The old man trembled with rage: "Very good, kid, you've successfully angered me.
I, Liu Dongyun, have lived for over a hundred years, and no one has dared to speak to me like that. Today, I will tear your mouth apart, cripple your cultivation, and then hand you over to Young Master Ji for disposal!"
"Noisy!"
As soon as Liu Dongyun finished speaking, Liang Hao threw a punch.
With a "crack," Liu Dongyun spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and was directly blasted out of the Pin Yue Residence's door.
"You attacked me! Young man, you don't play by the rules!"
"Bah! Lacking the strength to play tough is the biggest taboo in the world. At your age, you still don't understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle?
"I return the same words to you. A frog in a well cannot fathom how vast the sky truly is!"
After dealing with the two men, Liang Hao looked at Shen Zhao, who was sitting at the table watching the show, and cautiously asked, "Big brother, how do you think I did?"
"Not bad. Don't forget the main task."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Then, he shouted, "You, Ji! Get out here at once and kneel down to listen to the Public Arbitration Council's poverty alleviation education!"
"Heh~"
"Are you not going to let it go?"
At the staircase on the second floor, three men and one woman stood.
The two men on the left and right were Su Jinhao and Su Jinyi, respectively. Standing to the right of the couple in the middle was Su Xuejiao, and the young man in white robes on the left was the second young master of the Ji Clan.
"Who are you people!" Liang Hao asked.
"And who are you?" the second young master Ji retorted. "Daring to cause trouble at the Pin Yue Residence, are you not afraid of death?"
"The last two who said that are already lying down in a nice, round heap. Don't tell me you want to join them?
Well, there's no need to trouble yourself. Go lie down yourself, before you get beaten up for nothing later."
Looking at the mess all around, the young master Ji's face turned cold. "You dare to cause trouble at my Pin Yue Residence! What exactly do you want?"
Liang Hao heard this, carefully sized up the second young master Ji, and then revealed an understanding expression. "So you're the young master Ji they were talking about. Excellent, I'm here for you today!"
The second young master Ji narrowed his eyes slightly. "What do you want from me?"
Liang Hao reached out his hand directly and said, "Give it here."
"What is it?"
"To be honest, the patterns on your Storage Pouch look very familiar. If you're smart, hand it over so I can take a look and confirm if it's the one I lost ten years ago."
As soon as he said this, Su Jinyi couldn't help but speak, "How dare you! Who are you, to extort the young master of the Ji Clan?"
"And who are you? Did I ask you? Why are you sticking your neck out?"
"Young Master Ji is my friend, of course I have to speak up for him."
"Very good. Then I declare right now that I also have my eye on your Storage Pouch.
I advise you to hand it over obediently. I'll try to go easy on you later, at least so you can leave with some dignity."
"You…"
Su Jinyi was trembling with rage. As the second son of the Su Clan, second only to the Ji Clan in the city, when had he ever been mocked and threatened like this?
Su Jinhao frowned and said, "Friend, this Pin Yue Residence is not a place where you can run wild. I advise you to leave quickly, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Are you threatening me?" Liang Hao retorted.
"Very well, then leave your Storage Pouch behind as well. Also, let me remind you,
this is not extortion, nor is it blackmail. Instead, it's supporting the precise poverty alleviation work launched by our Public Arbitration Council with practical actions. You should feel honored by this,
and you should be moved to tears when you recall today's contribution in the middle of the night."
Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Su Xuejiao, who was standing beside the young master Ji, finally couldn't help but speak:
"Ji-gege, big brother, second brother, don't stoop to the level of this country bumpkin. We still need to go shopping at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Fighting and killing is so uncouth."
Hearing this, the young master Ji turned his head and gave Su Xuejiao a gentle smile, then said: "
Xuejiao, as you can see, he's the one who sought his own death. Don't blame others. He's just an ant. It won't take me long to deal with him."
Su Jinhao, who was next to him, also said, "Yes, little sister, since he took the initiative to pick a fight, how can we back down? Besides, so many people are watching. If we let him leave like this today, the Ji Clan and Su Clan will become a laughing stock. Father and mother won't agree either."
Su Xuejiao lowered her head and whispered, "Then, don't make a big deal out of it..."
But before she could finish, Liang Hao, with his excellent hearing, spoke directly, "Are you done talking? I just want to ask, are you going to hand over the Storage Pouch directly, or do I have to do it myself!"
Su Xuejiao was about to speak, but Liang Hao interrupted her again, "Can you please stop speaking in that annoying, affected tone?"
"That voice of yours sounds like a mother duck, it's giving me goosebumps. If someone didn't know any better,
they'd think you were some top courtesan with a special fetish,
coming to this dump to put on a passionate show of group play in front of everyone!"
Su Xuejiao was dumbfounded. In her seventeen years, no one had dared to scold her like this.
She was the most beautiful woman in the city, and the number of her admirers could stretch outside the city gates.
Yet, he actually called her a green tea b*tch?
She didn't know what "green tea" meant, but judging from the tone, it was definitely an insult.
Young Master Ji was enraged upon hearing this: "Boy, very good. You dare to insult the woman of Ji Bochang, you've successfully angered me."
Su Jinhao: "I was going to spare your life, but you dared to insult my little sister! There's no way you're getting out of this today!"
Su Jinyi: "Enough talk. Just finish him off and bury him somewhere."
Ji Bochang waved his hand, saying, "No need for you two to intervene. Just protect Xuejiao. I'll handle this brat myself!"
With that, he conjured an Earth Rank, low-grade spirit sword out of thin air and leaped into the air.
"Brat, let me show you the Ji Clan's Four Seasons Swordplay—Falling Winter Snow!"
In an instant, snowflakes filled the hall, and a gale of sword qi condensed, all rushing towards Liang Hao.
"Hmph~"
Liang Hao was neither servile nor overbearing, letting out a soft grunt and showing no regard for Ji Bochang.
"You scared the hell out of me. I thought I'd run into some cheater in this godforsaken backwater.
But it's just a Nascent Yuan Realm, eighth grade. You actually dare to act all high and mighty in front of this future overlord?
Today, I'll use you to test out my newly learned technique. Let's see if your snow is cold or my frost is colder!"
