The Biggest Ones Finally Show Up! [I]

The Body Condensation realm expert had finally come out! 

Mu Shen took a deep breath and tried to calm his nerves. Although this was not the first time he had faced an expert who had reached the Body Condensation realm, the gap between these two realms was far from small. 

But Mu Shen was certain that this aura that enclosed him would not belong to an expert of the body condensation early stage.... 

Although it was not at all to boast about, Mu Shen had recently battled with an expert of the body condensation early stage and they had been evenly matched... he could even claim that he had the slight advantage over the enemy. 

Mu Shen's momentum increased by several levels, with his aura covering Hu Wenxin and the others from getting injured. 

Then, Mu Shen turned his gaze towards a man of at least about 40 years old wearing a rather luxurious and flashy golden robe, with an arrogant and proud bearing as if he were the emperor of the kingdom himself. 

Behind this man, three old men with appearances of over 80 years old followed him calmly, with one of them expelling his aura that had imprisoned Mu Shen precisely. 

Mu Shen saw one of the old men keeping him locked up with his aura, realizing that he could not see his cultivation level and his intuition was intensely alerting him that this old man could easily kill him. 

"He should be above early stage, maybe middle or late stage..." Mu Shen gritted his teeth, confirming his earlier thoughts. 

"Patriarch!" 

"Greetings Patriarch!" 

"Chief!" 

"Greetings to the family ancestors!" 

"Ancestors, forgive the mess of the place!" 

Once the man in his 40s appeared, the elders and members of the Guiyan family were shocked and without a moment's hesitation cupped their fists and paid their respects, bowing in respect and awe at the sight of him. 

When they recognized that the old men behind the Guiyan family patriarch were the ancestors, they kowtowed even more on the floors, feeling fear and dread at the thought that they might disturb these ancestors. 

"It is a disgrace that even all of you together cannot subdue a mere boy!" The patriarch of the Guiyan family, Guiyan Han, snorted coldly as his gaze swept over all the family members. 

"F-father!" 

The young master Guiyan was even more excited to see his father appear on the scene, and without hesitation he said, "Father! Your son has been hurt by that bastard! He even came to rob one of my maidservants again and has destroyed several buildings of the family residence! He has no respect for us, for the great Guiyan family!" 

With the current patriarch of the Guiyan family, an expert in the body condensation realm, the young master Guiyan did not believe that Mu Shen could still be as arrogant and powerful as before. 

Guiyan Han looked at his son's swollen and bleeding face, but said nothing. He quickly understood that this son of his had been the cause of all this trouble. 

This miserable son of his just drinks and gambles all day long, sleeping with women every day and if he finds any beautiful women he makes use of the family guards to get them, even if those women are married or engaged. 

This incident involving him is not the first one. Probably this problem must have been that his son tried to kidnap a woman again. 

Just because he was the son of his late first wife, Guiyan Han had let all the misdeeds and crimes committed by this son go. If he were anyone else, Guiyan Han would have long since expelled him from the family. 

Ignoring his son's words, Guiyan Han finally looked at Mu Shen. His gaze turned cold as he watched the four women behind him for a brief moment before turning back to Mu Shen. 

"Do you know that by your actions alone you have destroyed much of the Guiyan family's heritage?" Guiyan Han asked coldly. His aura spread powerfully, enclosing Mu Shen as well. 

Mu Shen clenched his teeth tightly as he felt Guiyan Han's aura as well, with two expert auras ruthlessly locking him in. 

Still, Mu Shen did not flinch and glared at Guiyan Han. 

"Blame your family members for getting in my way! Besides, I had requested to talk to you to avoid all this and they just kept interfering!" 

Mu Shen's momentum rose slightly, heavily resisting the coercion that locked him in. 

"Now you have me in front of you, so what are you looking for?" Guiyan Han replied somberly as he shot a glance at the family members again, especially the guards. 

These people could not help but shrug their heads and lower their gazes, not wanting the patriarch of the family to kill them. 

"Your son kidnapped and injured a friend of mine!" Mu Shen pointed to the young master Guiyan and explained in a nutshell, "He abandoned her so that she could become a decoy so that he and the others could escape from the wild beasts." 

They had saved Qin Xuzi from the wild beasts earlier in one of the forests outside the capital, preventing her from being killed. They cared for her and had lived together for several days, learning much from her about her condition and relationship with the Guiyan family. Mu Shen had even given her the medicinal pill that Ling Tian gave him to heal and disappear the large scar on his face, but Mu Shen did not ingest it and instead he gave it to Qin Xuzi to recover her beauty again that had been hidden since she was very young. 

A day later, when she was separated from them as she went to buy supplies in the village they were staying so that she could prepare food and try to repay them for saving her as well as healing her, several of the family members who happened to be passing by that place recognized her and kidnapped her, bringing her to the Guiyan family again. 

Once Mu Shen, Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling heard about it, they did not hesitate and quickly came to come looking for her. 

"Is that true?" Guiyan Han looked at his son faintly. 

The young master Guiyan felt shivers as he saw his father's terrifying look and lowered his head as he shakily nodded, "Y-yes, father! B-but she was one of the house servants you had assigned to me, so when I heard that she had survived I sent people to bring her back home!" 

Although he did not dare to lie to his father, the young master Guiyan still said somewhat annoyed at the sight of Mu Shen, as he did not want to give up Qin Xuzi not without tasting her first. 

Despite being only a servant, Qin Xuzi had a well-developed body despite being only 17 years old. It was just that her face was disfigured and ugly, making her appearance hideous and unwilling to touch. 

But when young master Guiyan learned that not only had she been saved, but her face had healed and Qin Xuzi had become a beauty, young master Guiyan had to savor her body! 

This guy must have some beauty pill or heavenly treasure for beauty! 

As long as he could get the beauty pill that Mu Shen had and gave to Qin Xuzi, then he could make Qin Xuzi ingest it and regain her beauty again so he could enjoy her as he pleased! 

He could also use it for himself and for the women who had a hot and sensual body but didn't have such attractive faces as he liked! 

"What have I told you all this time? Instead of spending your time on women you should be cultivating!" Guiyan Han coldly rebuked his son, surprising even Mu Shen. 

It seems that this patriarch of the Guiyan family was not so impartial to family things after all. 

The young master Guiyan paled and did not dare to say anything, still lowering his head and prostrating himself on the ground. 

"Once you are strong, you can have as many women as you want without explaining yourself to anyone! Even these bitches will look for you even if you don't do anything!" 

However, Guiyan Han quickly added with an arrogant aura. His gaze shifted back to Mu Shen and then behind him, slightly recognizing Qin Xuzi. 

Qin Xuzi couldn't help but tremble in fear as she saw Guiyan Han's gaze fall on her. 

"You must be Qin's daughter..." Guiyan Han frowned slightly and said, "Although your parents died earlier due to contracting deadly diseases, you are still a servant of the Guiyan family!" 

Qin Xuzi paled, her body trembling intensely as terror consumed her completely. 

But Deng Xie and Fu Ling embraced her at once, trying to calm her down as they sensed Qin Xuzi trembling in fear. 

"A family that sacrifices servants and does not give them due respect does not deserve to be a family!" 

Mu Shen exclaimed coldly. 

"These are family matters, where outsiders have no right to intervene!" Guiyan Han replied coldly. 

While he might as well kill these young people, Guiyan Han refrained from doing so and preferred to talk it out. In the distance, Guiyan Han had sensed several spirit senses sneakily observing what was going on here, and if he was not mistaken, these individuals belonged to the members of the Abysmal Tower. 

The Guiyan family and the Abyssal Tower have been fighting in the dark for many decades, so if Guiyan Han started indiscriminately killing these people, the Abyssal Tower would use it as an excuse to fight them and try to eliminate the Guiyan family from the capital forever. 

The Guiyan family and the Abyssal Tower had almost equal strength overall, so outside help from the capital itself would result in the balance of power being lost. 

But a while ago, Guiyan Han learned that one of the Abysmal Tower's oldest ancestors who was about to die due to his life expectancy running out managed to make a small breakthrough thanks to the return of spiritual chi in the world, and even approached the boundary of the realm, managing to take a small step into the Separation and Reunion realm! 

If this ancient ancestor of the Abysmal Tower managed to break through, then he would be the first expert of the separation and reunion realm of the south state, and the Abysmal Tower would be the first force in the capital! 

There would be no chance for the Guiyan family to resist if this ancestor personally made a move! 

Therefore, the Guiyan family has been greatly limiting themselves in their actions, while looking for ways to gain more strength or gain an alliance with another equal or superior force. 

"What are you waiting for? Do you think these people will protect you from me? You think I won't dare to kill all of you if I want to? You have to fulfill your debt! Your destiny is to serve the Guiyan family just like your parents!" 

Guiyan Han looked at Qin Xuzi coldly, causing Qin Xuzi's body to tremble more.

Instantly, Hu Wenxin's figure stood in front of Qin Xuzi, looking at Guiyan Han coldly and preventing him from scaring her any further. 

No matter what, they were not going to let Qin Xuzi return to this place. 

Guiyan Han's expression darkened as he watched Hu Wenxin's actions. 

"S-sisters... b-brother Shen... s-sorry... I-I'm going back with them..." 

Qin Xuzi took a deep breath and tried to get up. In her mind, she had already made up her mind to return to the Guiyan family. If she could save their lives in exchange for her own, then Qin Xuzi would not hesitate to return them the favor for saving her.
