Chapter 1091: Chapter 1085: Greed

Thank you to "Wang Laoji" and "♂Burial Ai☆Tantalum Arrow♀" for your support; thank you, brothers, for your support, much appreciated!

"No, I can’t back down!" Huo Hongxing gritted his teeth, he had no choice at this point, if he gave up on Li Changlin now, he would definitely have no future in the Huo Family.

Today’s actions have unquestionably offended Huo Honglong to death, although he did not do anything from beginning to end, the debt of the Yan Family’s six brothers, five killed and one crippled, would certainly be counted on his head in the end.

Of course, if Li Changlin could overpower everyone present, there might still be a chance to turn the situation around.

But the elder from that day was not here, and Huo Hongxing had no confidence at all!

He knew that Li Changlin was indeed very powerful, but his Third Uncle was even more so.

After all, Huo Deting was an expert in the Late Stage of Virtual Energy, his cultivation had already surpassed the Power of Two Dragons, reaching a strength of 23,000 jin.

Thinking of this, Huo Hongxing felt extremely chilled to the bone; last time he wasn’t too concerned when Fang Xiaowei killed Huo Dexuan, but now the fact that the Family had specifically arranged his Third Uncle to guard Huo Honglong showed that he was truly abandoned by the upper echelons of the Huo Family like old shoes!

"Second Young Master, this isn’t a situation we can meddle in!" Beside him, Huo Fangming earnestly tried to advise.

Actually, he was also extremely depressed and anxious; the relationship between Huo Fangming and Li Changlin was like two grasshoppers on the same string.

If Li Changlin were killed by Huo Deting today, then without a year passing, his own death would come.

Although Huo Fangming could not be sure if Li Changlin was deceiving him, after enduring the torture of the Life and Death Charm, he did not want to suffer even once more in his life.

"If Li Changlin really dies today, then after a year, I might as well choose suicide!" Huo Fangming silently made a decision in his heart; ultimately, he didn’t hold much hope for Li Changlin.

However much one could say Huo Deting was an expert in the Late Stage of Virtual Energy, Li Changlin, although powerful, was, in Huo Fangming’s opinion, at most at the Early Stage of Virtual Energy or perhaps the peak of the Early Stage, and was no match against an expert like Huo Deting!

To tell the truth, Huo Fangming’s guess was quite accurate; however, he had overlooked the power of the Holy Fruit.

Li Changlin’s realm was at the Early Stage of Virtual Energy, so imagine how many Holy Fruits he must have consumed; with the enhanced strength from the Holy Fruit, how weak could Li Changlin’s strength be!

In fact, this is the so-called ’concern leads to chaos’; if Huo Fangming could be a bit more rational, he wouldn’t have these worries.

But after all, Huo Fangming was still considering everything for Huo Hongxing, his priority was the safety of the Second Young Master; after all, this was the dying request of his old lover, Huo Fangming hadn’t married or had children in his life, and had long treated Huo Hongxing as his own child.

"Stay calm and don’t be rash, Huo Hongxing you and the others step aside for now." Compared to the anxious Huo Hongxing and Huo Fangming, Li Changlin was clearly very composed.

He extended his hand and casually waved it, exuding an air of nonchalance. Then, he lifted his gaze toward Huo Deting and indifferently said, "If you want me to go with you to the Huo Family, you’ll have to show you have the strength to convince me. However, I can tell you one thing—I will definitely visit the Jiangnan Huo Family when the time is right. There’s no need for you to rush; when I feel the need to go, I will go naturally!"

"Hmph, it’s not up to you whether you go or not!" Huo Deting’s face sported an icy smile, his eyes gleaming with covetous brilliance.

How old was Li Changlin, to appear no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, yet already possessing the cultivation of the Boundary of Virtual Energy? This was truly astounding!

Huo Deting, having lived for seventy to eighty years, had long since become wily and crafty. Soon after Li Changlin made his move, Huo Deting had guessed that there must be some secret hidden in him. For someone so young to possess the cultivation of the Boundary of Virtual Energy was extraordinary—even Cheng Hui, the top genius of the younger generation in the Ancient Martial World, paled in comparison and was merely like trash.

Huo Deting felt that as long as he obtained this secret, his cultivation could be elevated to the peak of Virtual Energy in no time.

Even, one day breaking through to Inch Strength was not impossible!

Inch Strength—the threshold for an Ancient Martial Artist. If one is fortunate enough to cross this threshold, one can see further, more breathtaking vistas.

Many Ancient Martial Artists spend their entire lives without taking that step, truly because advancing from Virtual Energy to Inch Strength is too perilous; it’s a transformation from quantitative to qualitative change in the body’s power. Those who endure will naturally not need to be mentioned, but if one fails to withstand it, everything is over.

Many Ancient Martial Artists dare not take that step for a lifetime, ultimately dying old and full of regrets. Yet, there are also many who find the right methods to easily cross that barrier.

However, these methods are in the hands of the Eight Great Families, which, even for their own clan members, are not fully disclosed. As for those not born into the Family, there is no need to speak further.

What Huo Deting never expected was that one day, he would also have the chance to encounter such an opportunity. From the strength displayed by Li Changlin, it was evident he must have mastered a method to rapidly increase power. If he could make this method his own, then from then on, the Jiangnan Huo Family may well leap to become a top-tier force in the world!

Top-tier forces don’t come out of nowhere.

The Capital City Eight Great Aristocratic Families are universally acknowledged as top-tier forces, whereas the Jiangnan Huo Family can only be considered third-rate. Why is this?

The reason is quite simple: a top-tier force is a top-tier force because their Family legacy is abundant and strong.

The legacies mentioned here not only include support from different worlds but also, more importantly, because the Family has many experts!

With higher cultivation realms, naturally, one can live longer. With a greater number of people, the strength is naturally formidable.

Take the Jiangnan Huo Family; they are only a third-rate force because the Family has only one elder of peak Virtual Energy to anchor them, whereas second-rate families have at least five or more, and as for first-rate families, there’s no need to say— they have an unknown number of Inch Force Experts, with no comparison at all.

Huo Deting had grand ambitions. He also hoped that one day the Huo Family could become a first-rate force.

Moreover, he longed for the day when the Huo Family could unify the martial arts world, just like the Pure Yang Hall in the Different World—exalted above all, with a single word deciding others’ life and death. Huo Deting craved this kind of power.

"The Nearly Divine Tycoon goes nowhere against his will. Sir, you can see that many are already paying attention to the commotion here. I suggest we all enter the clubhouse for now and discuss this matter another time, how about it?" To speak the truth, getting into a fight outside the gates of Greater Shanghai was honestly something Li Changlin was somewhat concerned about.
