Chapter 201: 130, Demons and I cannot coexist under the same sky.
"Senior, could you have mistaken me for someone else?"
Wan Xiaolou, feeling the unfathomable aura of Su Li and the presence of the thirty warriors whose vitality was even stronger than that of Duan Yuerong and others, worried that the other party had mistaken him for someone else, and hurriedly asked.
However, Su Li gently shook his head and took out a silver token.
Seeing the silver token, Wan Xiaolou realized that Su Li was someone sent by his master, and a trace of wild joy immediately appeared in his eyes; he also took out a golden token from his person.
When Su Li saw the golden token, a flash of astonishment passed swiftly across his face.
The identity tokens of the Hou Clan were made using the family's Copper Seal, and the presence of the token could be sensed from a not too distant range. Once Su Li detected the token on Wan Xiaolou and combined it with the information he had received from Second Master while being dispatched to Wanyang County to find someone, he immediately guessed that Wan Xiaolou was the Family Head's disciple.
But the gold token Wan Xiaolou carried was far beyond his expectations.
After the family advanced to an influential status, Fifth Master Hou Yuduan established gold, silver, black, and white four types of family tokens, used to differentiate the ranking order of family martial artists. These tokens not only signified the individual's rank within the family but also related to your monthly stipend, and even the permission to practice the family's martial arts.
Although the white token was the lowest level, one must still possess the cultivation of the Three Levels of Body Opening for the family to confer it, while the minimum cultivation for the black token was the Seventh Level of Body Opening. In total, the clan had issued fewer than 200 such tokens. As for the silver tokens, they were for warriors of the Gang Qi Realm like himself who held positions within the Hou Clan. Those who received silver tokens were already considered the upper echelon of the family, having the right to participate in the family's management.
As for the gold tokens, there were altogether only five in the entire Hou Clan.
He had never imagined that the Family Head would leave a gold token for Wan Xiaolou.
Clearly, in Hou Yuxiao's heart, Wan Xiaolou held a high position.
Realizing this, Su Li's demeanor became even more respectful, and at the same time he thought of something, he turned his head sharply towards the direction of Duan Yuerong and others, with a faint trace of cold light condensing in his eyes.
Right when Duan Yuerong and others had just helped up the person who had been sent flying by Su Li, they noticed Su Li's gaze. Everyone's body trembled, and a hint of fear appeared on their faces.
From the moment Su Li appeared, followed by those thirty people lining up to salute Wan Xiaolou, they had already realized that something was amiss. Perhaps at the beginning, like Wan Xiaolou, they thought Su Li had mistaken someone else and made a blunder, but when they realized that wasn't the case, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
A Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm, plus thirty warriors with a minimum cultivation of the Seventh Level of Body Opening, showing such respect to Wan Xiaolou who had just achieved the Opening of the Four Gates clearly explained the issue.
Among them, the one with the highest birth was Duan Yuerong. Her father, Duan Hu, was a martial artist in the Gangqi Third Realm Bao Dan Period and also served as a Commander in Wanyang County. But even so, her father couldn't possibly afford her such luxurious followers.
Wan Xiaolou had been staying in Wanyang County for several months, and his background was no secret. Duan Yuerong and the others knew that he was just an orphan from Yunye County, who had hit the jackpot and rose to the heavens being noticed by Ren Feng.
That is to say, this group of people before them was here to protect him on behalf of his master...
"Just now I heard, you said that you want my young master to host a banquet to apologize to you. May I ask, how did my young master offend you all?"
As Su Li approached slowly, he spoke in a deep tone. The thirty black-clad people also stood up as if instructed, turning their heads in unison towards everyone.
The warriors from the upper and lower divisions of the Hou Clan were the most elite forces of the Hou Clan, accustomed to battle, each one bloodstained. Su Li himself had risen from the bottom as a ruthless figure, once being the Hall Master of the Flying Eagle Sect, and his body was filled with killing intent.
Add to this the fact that they were already in greater number and superior position; at this movement, an intense sense of oppression instantly emerged.
Duan Yuerong and the others were merely aides to well-born wastrels, mostly only bullying others within Wanyang County. None had ever seen a display like Su Li's, and they immediately showed expressions of fear, not daring even to speak.
"Wan... Young Master, we... we were wrong!"
Finally, under the oppressive aura of Su Li and his Geng Division warriors, someone couldn't hold back their fear and began to beg for mercy with a trembling voice.
"That's right, Young Master Wan, we meant no harm."
"How about today, I host a banquet to apologize to Young Master Wan!"
...
Once one person started, except for Duan Yuerong, the rest quickly began to plead for mercy. Although their words were directed at Wan Xiaolou, without exception, all eyes were on Su Li. It was clearly Su Li's martial power that had subdued them.
In the end, only Duan Yuerong remained silent. Although she appeared fearful when looking at Su Li, she kept her mouth tightly shut, not wanting to bow her head. She had never before faced such a threat, and as Su Li drew closer, she felt more afraid, and her heart welled up with a sense of grievance, to the point where tears almost fell.
Just then, Wan Xiaolou spoke up...
"Su... Brother, let it be. After all, she hasn't really done anything to me."
Hearing Wan Xiaolou's words, a hint of appreciation appeared in the depths of Su Li's eyes. Feigning hesitation for a moment, he snorted coldly again and said to Duan Yuerong and the others, "All of you, get lost! If you dare to trouble the young master again, I won't spare you!"
What do you think?
