Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Even the dogs of Xuanyuan Tomb are stronger than you

Lu Xiao pursed his lips, then nodded: "Oh, had a little breakthrough, I’m at the Fifth Realm now."

As expected of someone from the Transcendent Eighth Layer, his insight is indeed quite sharp.

A chorus of gasps filled the room. He’s at the Fifth Layer now?

Wasn’t he at the Third Level of Transcendence two days ago? This... is just outrageous.

"Truly a genius from Xuanyuan Holy Land, I’m impressed," Qin Huairen bowed slightly to Lu Xiao.

Hearing Qin Huairen pulling strings, Lu Xiao didn’t say anything.

He came by himself, after all. It was reasonable for the other to drop a hint about the Xuanyuan Tomb and bolster the shock value for the onlookers.

Sure enough, after Qin Huairen spoke, the way people looked at Lu Xiao had completely changed. They became wary, more cautious.

"True to the Holy Land."

"The key point is he’s from the Xuanyuan Tomb, terrifying."

"With this kind of connection, Qin Huairen’s position as City Lord is pretty much guaranteed."

Many started whispering among themselves.

For the position of City Lord, there were two other families in Xu Hai City that could have been contenders.

But now, it seemed they didn’t stand a chance at all.

"Mr. Lu, please," Qin Huairen was very happy as Lu Xiao’s appearance had doubtlessly solidified his somewhat shaky position as City Lord.

That’s the Xuanyuan Tomb we’re talking about. Not to mention their Xu Hai City being a minor city on the fringes, even a major city wouldn’t dare to offend the Holy Land.

After three rounds of drinks, Lu Xiao and Qin Huairen had become somewhat more familiar with each other.

Lu Xiao had also roughly figured out Qin Huairen’s character. He might not be a good person, but he wasn’t a bad one either.

"Mr. Lu, since you’ve become Shiguang’s master, we’re practically family now. I might as well speak frankly," said Qin Huairen, his voice growing louder after a few drinks during the meal.

"City Lord Qin, please speak," Lu Xiao replied.

"I think, forget the Sixth Level of Transcendence, even those at the Seventh or Eighth Layers aren’t your match!" Qin Huairen declared loudly.

The room instantly fell somewhat silent.

Some even showed scornful expressions.

Lu Xiao flipping Cui Huai when he was at the Third Level was impressive, but fighting those at the Seventh or Eighth Layer? He must be dreaming!

Even if Lu Xiao was now at the Transcendent Fifth Layer, there’s no way he could be a match for the Seventh or Eighth Layer.

The Transcendent Seventh Layer, that’s a completely different tier.

A person at the Seventh Layer could take on a whole bunch of those at the Sixth Level.

Lu Xiao sipped his wine and didn’t say a word, though deep down, he quite agreed with Qin Huairen’s statement.

The Seventh or Eighth Layer? Even those at the Transcendent Ninth Layer are nothing to him.

But Qin Huairen’s bold claim was probably him wanting to test Lu Xiao’s abilities.

As for that, Lu Xiao didn’t mind at all.

Later on, if someone came challenging, it’d be fine to beat them senseless. Let Qin Huairen clean up the mess.

It wasn’t reasonable for someone to test him and yet expect him to consider their position, right?

"Dad, stop talking nonsense, you’re drunk, drink less."

"Everyone, don’t listen to my father, ah, he likes to spout nonsense when he’s had a few," Qin Shiguang reacted quickly, immediately trying to smooth things over.

Lu Xiao glanced at the somewhat anxious Qin Shiguang. This kid was a lot better than his father.

If it weren’t for Qin Shiguang’s sake, just for that comment Qin Huairen made earlier, Lu Xiao would have given both of them a good punch in the nose.

Being strong is his business. How dare Qin Huairen instigate a test?

Being shouted at by his son, Qin Huairen also finally realized his blunder, looking somewhat vexed. He really couldn’t hold his liquor; his brain stopped working properly with a drink.

His earlier comments, while seemingly praising Lu Xiao, could actually cause trouble for him.

"Mr. Lu, I..."

"Qin Huairen, you sure have the nerve to talk. You think the Seventh and Eighth Layers are a bunch of poultry?" Just as Qin Huairen tried to apologize to Lu Xiao, someone interrupted him mid-sentence.

All eyes were drawn to the interruption.

Recognizing the middle-aged man who stood up to retort, many people showed an expression of anticipation for the drama.

Li Lianhe, the Mansion Master of Li Residence, at the Transcendent Eighth Layer, was known to have a contentious relationship with Qin Huairen.

Many people understood why Li Lianhe suddenly stood up.

Li Lianhe had hopes to become the new City Lord of Xu Hai City, but Lu Xiao’s arrival nearly dashed all such prospects.

Who wouldn’t be incensed?

"Mr. Lu, right," Li Lianhe said before turning his attention to Lu Xiao.

"I acknowledge that the Holy Land is strong, and I acknowledge that you are strong, but I don’t believe you can defeat someone at the Eighth Layer."

"I’ve been through the Transcendent Fifth Layer, and I’ve been through the Transcendent Eighth Layer; I know the gap between the two."

"The real difference can’t be bridged just by being talented."

"Mr. Lu, what do you think?" he asked.

The crowd looked at Lu Xiao.

Li Lianhe’s remarks and question were cunning indeed.

If Lu Xiao answered yes, it would be like slapping his own face; but if Lu Xiao said no, he would have to provide evidence.

The way to present evidence would be to fight someone at the Transcendent Eighth Layer.

At the table, Lu Xiao took another sip of wine and then gave a cheerful smile as he put down his glass, smiling at Li Lianhe once more.

"What, you think I haven’t seen someone from the Transcendent Eighth Layer before?"

"Let me put it bluntly. The dogs at Xuanyuan Tomb are much stronger than you."

"What do I think? I think you’re trash, satisfied?" Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, arrogant and disdainful.

If you want to argue, go argue with Qin Huairen. Why bother me?

Qin Huairen just announced my affiliation with Xuanyuan Holy Land, yet you still push your luck with me? How foolish can you be?
