Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Nodding slightly towards Liu Qing, Lin Mo followed Liu Yiyi’s steps, leaving the place.

Watching Lin Mo’s figure fade into the distance, Liu Qing clenched his fists slightly and murmured to himself, ”This is the fellow Liu Chun warned me not to provoke recklessly. His strength is indeed decent, but compared to me, he’s still far behind.”

”Brother...”

Liu Cheng and Liu Dong approached Liu Qing, likewise watching Liu Yiyi and Lin Mo walk away, ”Brother, what is Sister up to? Clearly, this is a matter for our Liu Family, but she’s bringing in an outsider, and he’s so arrogant.”

”Brother, you must get revenge for me!” Liu Cheng rubbed his aching backside and complained bitterly.

”Rest assured, when the opportunity arises, I will certainly teach him a lesson and show him how one should behave. The Liu Family is not just any ordinary bunch.” Liu Qing glanced at the two, speaking coldly, his tone filled with frosty intent. In fact, Lin Mo paid little mind to the provocations of Liu Cheng and Liu Dong. These two were only at the Galaxy-level Beginner stage, clearly not his match, and were likely under Liu Qing’s command to deliberately probe his capabilities.

As for who truly disliked him, it was probably Liu Qing in the background. ”Liu Qing is the son of my second uncle, his talent is Lin Yue, and he has already joined Dayan Academy as an inner sect student. Liu Cheng and Liu Dong were likely arranged by him,” Liu Yiyi said calmly. Someone as astute and intelligent as her had naturally seen through such petty tricks long ago.

Evidently, when Liu Cheng provoked Lin Mo, Liu Yiyi did not stop him; instead, she tacitly approved, wanting Lin Mo to showcase his strength to shut the mouths of family juniors, for in any place, strength is the sole hard standard that earns respect.

”My second uncle and my father have always been competing in secret, even we juniors are affected by the previous generation, constantly competing and challenging each other, oh.” Liu Yiyi sighed softly as she spoke. Glancing at Liu Yiyi, Lin Mo smiled and said, ”Liu Qing’s strength should have reached the High-level Galaxy Level, making him likely the strongest among the juniors. Your second uncle should have won over your father, but last time you found the Fire Rat Divine Medicine, which pulled things back a bit. Now, you want me to come along to the Ancient Land to win this round?”

”Mr. Lin, you see clearly,” Liu Yiyi teased with a charming smile.

Regarding the power struggle within the Liu Family, Lin Mo wasn’t interested, but perhaps the Ancient Land held treasures, which piqued Lin Mo’s interest. casually chatting along the way, they soon arrived at the entrance of a dark golden palace. Following Liu Yiyi inside, the hall was extremely spacious, with a hint of chill, and three men were seated on chairs within, led by an elderly man with silver-white hair wearing a dark brocade robe, exuding an aura as heavy and majestic as a mountain.

The middle-aged men seated on either side looked stern, their presence diffusing an equally impressive aura, obviously formidable cultivators.

”Grandfather, Father, Second Uncle...” Liu Yiyi greeted the three respectfully.

The white-haired elder sitting in the lead was likely the current head of the Liu Family, Liu Lifu.

”Mmm.” Liu Lifu nodded slightly, his somewhat kindly eyes then resting on Lin Mo, ”You must be the genius young Lin Mo referred to by Yiyi, the one who helped me acquire the Fire Rat Divine Medicine?”

”Young man, it is an honor to meet Old Man Liu.” Lin Mo made a slight bow, not because of the other’s status as the Liu Family Patriarch but out of respect for a fellow strong cultivator.

Liu Lifu’s strength seemed roughly on par with Su Yuanfan’s, only his aura appeared somewhat weaker than Su Yuanfan’s, presumably due to recent recovery from a serious illness.

”Yiyi should have already told you. Our Liu Family discovered an Ancient Land, but it is not only our Liu Family; the Hong Family and Zhou Family from Qionglong Star also discovered this Ancient Land.” Liu Lifu spoke directly, ”Our Liu Family is large and influential, but both the Hong Family and Zhou Family are powerful forces too. Starting a war over the Ancient Land inevitably leads to a bloody battle, so we plan to send the younger generation to vie for the treasures within the Ancient Land.”

Lin Mo nodded slightly.

This, he understood. For powerful forces like the Liu Family, Hong Family, and Zhou Family, starting a war over an Ancient Land would lead to unimaginable consequences. By sending juniors to compete for the Ancient Land, it prevents a large-scale conflict and also provides an opportunity to train the family’s juniors.

”You managed to help Yiyi find the Fire Rat Divine Medicine in the Spirit Ashes Forbidden Land, showing your considerable skill. This time, we need you to assist Yiyi and Qing’er in the Ancient Land. As long as we secure the treasure, the Liu Family will not treat you unfairly.”

”Senior Sister Liu has already informed me of these matters, and I will give my utmost,” Lin Mo bowed slightly and spoke. At this moment, the middle-aged man seated on the left frowned, pondering, ”Father, it’s fine for Yiyi to invite a skilled helper from the Seven Sects; that’s not the problem. However, the Hong Family and Zhou Family may not agree, because he’s not from our Liu Family.”

This middle-aged man was Liu Chun’s and Liu Qing’s father, also Liu Yiyi’s second uncle, named Liu Shangwu.

”Second Uncle, I’ve seen Mr. Lin’s strength in person; he’s definitely not inferior to Brother Liu Qing. With his help, our Liu Family’s odds will greatly increase,” Liu Yiyi said softly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shangwu gave a slight snort, his gaze showing considerable disdain.

”Father, Yiyi is considering the Liu Family’s best interests. We just need to find a way to silence the Hong Family and Zhou Family.” Another middle-aged man seated on the right spoke, Liu Yiyi’s father, Liu Shangfa.

Listening to the various opinions, Liu Lifu’s white eyebrows furrowed slightly, murmuring, ”There’s only one way to silence others?”

”Grandfather, what way?” Liu Yiyi looked up, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of doubt, a problem she too had considered but could never find a satisfactory solution for.

”Engage you to Lin Mo. If you become his fiancée, then Lin Mo naturally has the qualification to participate in this Ancient Land contest,” Liu Lifu pondered, then with a hint of amusement in his eyes, looked at Liu Yiyi and Lin Mo.

Fiancée?

Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, feeling rather helpless about Liu Lifu’s ’strategy.’

But Liu Yiyi, upon hearing this idea, indeed had a delicate blush on her slightly cool face, softly protesting, ”Grandfather... this won’t work.”

”Why not, it’s merely assigning a title, then the Hong Family and Zhou Family naturally have no grounds to object. After the Ancient Land contest, you can announce the annulment of the engagement.” Liu Lifu spoke resolutely. Seeing the old man so determined, Liu Shangwu and Liu Shangfa both winced slightly, not daring to continue arguing.
