Invincible!

Chapter 9 Integration
Li Xian, carrying a knife, calmly walked towards the outside of the Marquis's residence.

As he passed by, all the guards, servants, and maids spontaneously made way for him, watching him cross the courtyard, open the closed gate, and leap over the threshold to leave.

There were still thirty or forty people in the room.

Some servants and maids had also learned a few skills and developed considerable strength, but none of them dared to step forward and stop them in the slightest.

The atmosphere in the arena was deathly silent.

Until Li Xian's figure was completely gone and out of sight, everyone...

Even the eldest wife, Mo Caiying, seemed to have just accepted the fact.

gone.

Mr. Li...

really gone.

They just left like that!?

Upon arriving at their Marquis's residence, he went on a killing spree, subdued everyone, and took the noble Marquis's wife hostage. He demanded eighty taels of silver and then turned and left.
What on earth is he thinking?!

What exactly is he trying to do?!

Mo Caiying's chest heaved as her thoughts churned.

Panic, anger, shame, and humiliation filled her mind, making her wish she could skin Li Xian alive, tear him apart, and grind his bones to dust.

only……

The thought of the coldness of a knife to one's throat, and the suffocating, oppressive feeling of death brought about by Li Xian's indifferent attitude...

She eventually managed to calm herself down quickly.

"lady……"

The personal maid quickly stepped forward and tried to wipe the bloodstains from the neck with the handkerchief she was carrying.

"Go to the inner courtyard."

Mo Caiying kept a cold face and waved her hand at the guards who surrounded her but were of no use at all.

"It's gone."

After saying this, he strode towards the inner courtyard.

As Fang Xin and Tan Zhang watched the First Madam leave, they knew that their performance today must have thoroughly disappointed her. They looked at each other in bewilderment, and in the end, they could only help the wounded and clean up the body of the head steward, Liu Fu, before dispersing one by one.

……

"This matter is not over! No one can humiliate my Marquis Dingfeng's mansion and still remain at large!"

Inside the hospital, Mo Caiying received treatment for her injuries and regained her composure.

The fact that Li Xian didn't kill her proves that he wasn't truly as fearless as he claimed.

He didn't want to kill officials and rebel, which would leave him with nowhere to live and forced him to wander the world.

Of course, it's true that youthful arrogance and reckless behavior are common.

Such hot-blooded youths might not be able to think straight for a moment, and in a fit of rage, they might dare to fight to the death with her.

Therefore, although the matter is not over, we must be 100% certain before we make another move.

"Fang Xin!"

Mo Caiying suddenly called out.

Soon, having cleared away the trivial matters in the outer courtyard, Fang Xin, who was waiting at the gate to apologize, quickly entered the courtyard.

"Where is Zhao Wushi? When will he be back?"

"Sword tournaments often last between ten and a month, sometimes as short as ten days, sometimes as long as a month..."

"Send a message to him, asking him to return immediately!"

"Yes."

Fang Xin quickly responded.

Finally, after some deliberation, he asked, "Should we report this matter to the government office?"

"Report to the government office?"

Mo Caiying gave him a cold look: "Do you think this matter isn't public enough? Besides, what's the use of reporting it to the government? It will only alert them! Once that brat is pushed to the point of being completely desperate, and he comes to the Marquis's mansion in the middle of the night, who can stop him? With your guards?!"

Fang Xin quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

Liu Fudu, who had achieved great success in his studies, is dead.

Although their guards outnumbered them, humans are not animals and cannot recklessly and mindlessly engage in a head-on confrontation.

Li Xian only needs to defeat them one by one, and under the cover of night, he can wipe out their dozens of guards in one night.

"Investigate! Find out exactly what kind of martial arts Li Xian is practicing! How could a weak scholar have undergone such a transformation in just one month! Is he practicing demonic arts or consuming rare and precious herbs? Find out everything!"

"clear."

Fang Xin agreed.

They would find out this without Mo Caiying having to explain it to them.

Li Xian's injury to Zhang Qing could be attributed to his exceptional martial arts talent and unexpected attack. However, today, he actually managed to kill Liu Fu, the Grand Steward, who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Lung Meridian, head-on amidst the encirclement and attack of more than twenty guards. This is beyond what talent can describe.

"Remember to do it secretly, without making a fuss."

As she spoke, Mo Caiying gave Fang Xin and the maid beside her a sharp look: "Everyone be smart. Keep today's events to yourselves. If I find anyone gossiping behind your backs, I will not let them off easily!"

"Yes."

The group quickly responded.

Mo Caiying waved her hand, dismissing Fang Xin, and then turned her gaze to Zhang Yao, who had just been brought over by a maid.

"Husband... Madam..."

Zhang Yao quickly bowed.

Mo Caiying squinted and remained silent.

Only when Zhang Yao seemed a little uneasy did she say, "Don't be nervous, sit down."

He then said, "Your name is Zhang Yao? You spoke up at this crucial moment today, which is commendable. I have already given the order to promote your treatment by three levels and increase your monthly allowance to one tael and four mace."

"what?"

Zhang Yao was both surprised and delighted, and quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam."

"This is what you deserve."

Mo Caiying said.

She was somewhat unsure whether Li Xian's leniency at the crucial moment was due to Zhang Yao's pleas.

But her life was far more precious.

Even the slightest possibility would be enough for her to bestow a favor upon him.

What's more...

During this period, Zhang Yao and Li Xian had the closest relationship, and Zhang Yao knew the most about him.

She then asked, "When did Li Xian start practicing martial arts?"

"Practicing martial arts?" Zhang Yao was taken aback, and quickly replied, "It was a month ago."

After a moment, she seemed to remember something and added, "However, he seemed to have said that he had previously come into contact with martial arts classics, carefully studied them, and achieved a thorough understanding of the theory. It was only because he didn't like martial arts that he hadn't put it into practice until a month ago, after recovering from a serious illness, when he suddenly started practicing martial arts and boxing..."

"A month ago..."

Mo Caiying's expression remained unchanged, but her inner thoughts were turbulent and uncertain.

One month ago...

It seems Li Xian fell into the river? He was brought back and fell ill for several days.

It seems that on that day, Prince Yan sent a carriage to pick up Yanran for the banquet.

What did he see that triggered his decision to abandon literature for martial arts?

Unexpectedly, this child possessed astonishing comprehension, not only with exceptional talent in reading and writing, but also as a martial arts prodigy, a once-in-a-century talent.

In just one month, he has already trained his internal organs?

"Impossible! Unless he was born with the potential to become an immortal, who could achieve such a feat in just one month?! He must have had a miraculous encounter or cultivated demonic arts!"

A celestial seedling!?
The students of Songfeng Academy have all tested it. If Li Xian were a prodigy, he would have been discovered and soared to great heights long ago, instead of waiting until now.

As for the serendipitous encounter...

It seems unlikely that he hasn't left the Marquis's residence for a month.

So that means practicing demonic arts?

"Tell me in detail how Li Xian practiced martial arts over the past month, and what techniques he practiced."

Mo Caiying patiently said, "Don't overlook any detail."

"Yes."

Zhang Yao knew that judging from the tone of the lady's voice, she was clearly not going to let it go. The more information she shared about Li Xian, the more disadvantageous it would be for Li Xian.

For a fleeting moment, she even considered whether she should help Li Xian conceal something, and if that happened, would Li Xian, who had risen to prominence, remember her favor?

but……

She was, after all, a member of the Marquis's household.

From a young age, they were taught to be absolutely loyal to the Marquis's mansion.

A son-in-law who has been with her for less than two months might evoke her sympathy, but it would be difficult to change her mindset.

Finally, when asked by the lady, she answered every single question in great detail.

……

"Even if both are cleared up."

Li Xian left the Dingfeng Marquis's residence with a calm expression.

As for what he meant by "two clearings," nobody knows.

The other party involved may not even be aware of it themselves.

However, this is not important.

Mr. Li...

I only ask that I have a clear conscience.

He looked down at his right hand.

The back of his hand was bright red.

My fingers are swollen.

injured.

Even though he possessed boundless energy and unleashed his inner strength at the crucial moment, his muscles and bones were not yet fully developed. When he directly confronted the grasping technique of a master who had achieved great mastery of internal organs, his right fist, which was clenched at the time, still felt a constant stinging pain, like being pricked by needles.

But this stinging pain didn't make him feel uncomfortable; on the contrary...

It's very novel.

"too long."

Since he achieved the elixir of immortality and tested his fists against the world, he had not experienced the pain of fists colliding with fists, forces clashing with forces, and muscles breaking and bones shattering for a long time.

them……

They're all too weak.

Nine out of ten martial arts masters won't get up until they've thrown a punch worth at least 30,000 yuan.

But right now...

A martial arts master at the fourth level of martial arts could actually injure and cause him pain!
This feeling……

Li raised his hand, admiring the blood-red color between his fingers, his eyes somewhat intoxicated.

"What a wonderful feeling."

It's not a steel knife, and it's not a firearm.

He fought back with his fist against the claws, and was scratched by the claws...

"Wow, he's so strong. If I hadn't achieved the state of primordial unity and formed a pill from my inner energy, I wouldn't have been able to beat him. He's amazing."

Li Xian was overjoyed.

He knew that there were nine levels of martial arts in this world.

Each step reveals a new level.

Right now, even someone at the fourth level of internal energy cultivation could injure him...

Although it was because his strength had not fully recovered, the injury and the needle-like pain clearly told him that it was real.

He had truly arrived in a world teeming with martial artists and powerful figures!

This is how you train your internal organs!

What about blood transfusion and marrow cleansing?

There are also top-tier masters known for their flawless body; sect leaders who have refined their inner energy to achieve true mastery and established their own major sects; and peerless masters whose meridians are fully open and whose energy flows throughout their entire bodies…

And there's that innate master who defied the natural order and lived for over two cycles of sixty years!

"What a wonderful world this is!"

Li first bent his five fingers.

Let the pain in your fingers stimulate your spirit to the fullest.

So that he can experience the world more clearly.

Feel the reality of the whole world!
And let him fully integrate into this world that is now completely real.

At this moment, he wanted to open his arms and sing out loud.

"World, here I come!"

　The signature lines from the short film about a son-in-law: "My X family will surely rise to become a prestigious family!" "Watch me tear your mouth apart!"

　　What other lines are there? Let's brainstorm together.
