The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 136: Assaulting the Wei Family
Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Assaulting the Wei Family
The Wei Family, ranked among the top ten family powers in Duyang City, boasts a family mansion that is grand and imposing.
In recent days, the Wei Family Mansion has been abuzz with excitement because the family’s grand martial competition has been underway.
Tens of thousands of Wei family members have gathered within the mansion grounds, which has made it extraordinarily lively.
Both families from Duyang City and Donglin City hold internal competitions every few years. The purpose of these family competitions is to select the best of the family’s young disciples and focus on their cultivation.
This method effectively selects elite disciples, preparing them to become the future pillars of the family, ensuring the family’s continued prosperity.
As one of the top ten families in Duyang City, the Wei Family’s grand competition naturally attracted many high-level figures from other families as guests.
Important individuals from several Duyang City families were seated in the VIP section of the high platform at the Wei Family Martial Arts Arena.
"Clan Leader Wei, congratulations! Your Wei Family has produced an extraordinary talent in recent years!" said a white-haired elder on the VIP seats, speaking to Wei Family Patriarch Wei Jiuhe.
"Indeed, this young fellow named Wei Leng is truly remarkable. He is only eighteen years old and has already reached Half-step Innate! A cause for celebration!" said a woman in a red dress, adding her voice to the conversation, albeit with a hint of jealousy in her tone.
This woman in the red dress was an elder from the Nian Family in Duyang City.
The Nian Family and the Wei Family were both large clans in Duyang City. The Nian Family was ranked higher than the Wei Family. The Nian Family elders were displeased that the Wei Family had an eighteen-year-old at Half-step Innate, especially since the Nian Family had not produced such an outstanding disciple in recent years.
Wei Family Patriarch Wei Jiuhe, hearing the red-dressed woman’s words, smiled faintly. He could clearly detect the jealousy and envy in the Nian Family Elder’s words. However, far from being angry, he felt even more pleased.
"Ha ha ha... Wei Leng is indeed a good child, very good indeed!" Wei Jiuhe laughed heartily, looking extremely pleased.
He was certainly happy! Excited!
Wei Leng, at eighteen, had already reached the Half-step Innate Realm. His talent was so exceptional that he was considered one of the top prodigy martial artists in all of Duyang City.
Unless something unexpected happened, Wei Leng had a great chance of entering the Innate Realm by the age of twenty!
Once Wei Leng entered the Innate Realm, the number of Innate Realm martial artists in the Wei Family would match that of the Nian Family.
Then, the Wei Family’s ranking in Duyang City could, if not outright surpass the Nian Family, at least stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Hmph, the Nian Family? Hmph, the Nian Family will sooner or later be crushed under the Wei Family’s feet!
Wei Jiuhe narrowed his eyes and cast a casual glance at the Nian Family Elder.
Below the high platform, on the vast Martial Arts Arena, the contests between the Wei Family disciples continued heatedly.
Aside from Wei Leng, there were also several noteworthy Wei Family disciples in this year’s competition. These young martial artists were all talented seeds worth cultivating to ensure the future strength and growth of the Wei Family.
It wasn’t just Clan Leader Wei Jiuhe; other Wei Family Elders and high-level figures were also beaming with pride and satisfaction.
"This is terrible! Something bad has happened!"
Just at that moment, a disruptive voice came from afar.
Countless gazes instantly swept toward the source of the voice.
"Hmm?"
Wei Jiuhe’s eyes flashed with anger, and his expression grew cold.
He saw a Wei Family guard rushing over, calling out repeatedly.
"You fool! What’s this undignified shouting about?" Wei Jiuhe roared furiously. His figure also suddenly stood up, and his overwhelming aura rapidly soared.
In the VIP seats, many people’s gazes carried a hint of mockery.
It looked like there was going to be excitement! Most of the people in these VIP seats were not on the same page as the Wei Family. The Wei Family messing up in the family competition was naturally a good thing.
When Wei Jiuhe, the Clan Leader, berated the guard so angrily, the guard trembled all over and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Clan Leader Wei Jiuhe.
"What’s the matter?" Wei Jiuhe took a breath before asking in a low, deep voice.
Disgraceful, so disgraceful!
If it were any other day, it might have been okay. But today was the day of the family competition, when countless influential figures from Duyang City were gathered. A guard causing such a scene was certainly embarrassing.
No wonder Wei Jiuhe was angry.
"Clan Leader, someone has stormed into the family mansion!"
The guard responded cautiously.
"What?"
"How audacious, spouting nonsense!"
Wei Jiuhe, along with some of the Wei Family Elders, scolded.
Someone had broken into the Wei Family?
That was a joke! Who would be so bold and recklessly invade the Wei Family? Especially on the day of the Wei Family’s competition.
Even the first-rate families of Duyang City wouldn’t do such a thing. freewёbnoνel.com
If it were truly a family that had made such a move, it would mean war with the Wei Family. The Wei Family surely could not tolerate such provocation.
"Clan Leader, Elders, really, someone has broken into our family!" The guard’s face turned pale as he spoke with trepidation.
If it weren’t for someone breaking in, why would he have run over in such a panic to deliver the message?
"Hmm?"
Wei Jiuhe’s eyes sharpened—could it be that someone really had the audacity to cause trouble in the Wei Family?
"Are you not going to capture the person who broke into the Wei Family? Hmph, I want to see who dares to do such a thing!" Wei Jiuhe said, bristling with killing intent.
No matter who the intruder was, they could not simply let them off the hook today. Even if it were the scion of a top-tier family of Duyang City, they would have to give an explanation to the Wei Family. Their actions were a slap in the face of the Wei Family, a personal affront to him, Wei Jiuhe, and they could not easily forgive the offender.
Upon hearing Wei Jiuhe’s words, the guard’s face went from white to red.
Capture them?
Damn it, if they could be captured, would I be rushing to report this urgently? They simply couldn’t catch them! The intruder’s strength was too terrifying; at the gates of the Wei Family Mansion, a pair of high-level Martial Artists acting as guards were taken down with a single sword stroke. How could they possibly capture such a formidable Martial Artist?
"Boom!"
Just then, another rather piercing boom echoed.
Countless faces changed at the sound, because it did not come from the Martial Arts Arena, but from another direction. Moreover, the volume of this noise was substantially louder than any of the sounds coming from the bouts in the arena.
Countless eyes turned to look in that direction.
They saw dozens of Wei Family Guards surrounding a young Martial Artist in a green robe, attacking together. However, these guards stood no chance of resistance and were swept away by the young Martial Artist in the green robe.
