Chapter 1375 - 1372: Such a Huge Appetite (Double Release)
Chapter 1375: Chapter 1372: Such a Huge Appetite (Double Release)
The sound of footsteps echoed from outside.
Judging by the situation, quite a few people have arrived.
The members of the Shangguan family couldn’t help but look at their four Grand Elders.
The four Grand Elders and Shangguan Nishang surprisingly turned their gaze to Lin Xi at this moment.
Lin Xi signaled to them not to worry and to treat the situation normally.
If any conflicts arise or there is a need to take action, he will naturally step in.
Of course, certain younger members like Shangguan Hong had already been sent away by the Shangguan family.
After all, if a fight or some disputes over interests occur later, having children around wouldn’t be good.
The sound of footsteps grew closer.
Soon, everyone saw a group of people arriving from outside.
Yes, led by members of the Shangguan family.
Roughly counted, the group seemed to number around twenty people.
Half of them appeared quite elderly.
Even older than the four Grand Elders of the Shangguan family.
However, their mental state appeared very good.
They epitomized the saying "old but vigorous."
This was the first impression given to ordinary people.
But those with some strength found their expressions turning slightly grim.
Especially the four Innate Elders of the Shangguan family; their faces turned pale almost instantly.
"Where did so many come from?" The Second Elder’s eyes were wide open.
The other three Elders felt the same.
Even Lin Xi showed a trace of surprise on his face, "There aren’t five!"
"There are ten!"
Sitting beside him, Shangguan Nishang revealed a hint of confusion, "What ten?"
Lin Xi glanced at her and replied, "Ten Innate Elders!"
"What?" Shangguan Nishang’s face changed dramatically.
She was just a common person, possessing no strength at all.
Thus, she couldn’t discern the strength of those opposite her.
She was simply suspicious about why so many elders had come.
Could it be that aside from the five Innate, there were some Kings of Soldiers?
Never had she fathomed that they weren’t Kings of Soldiers; all ten elders were Innate.
"How is that possible!" She blurted out, disbelief written all over her face.
But when she looked at her family’s four Elders and noticed their pale, grim expressions, her heart started to affirm it.
It truly was as Lin Xi said!
But how could that be?
Where did so many Innate come from?
Even if she was just a regular person, she had learned about strength levels and Kings of Soldiers and Innate recently.
The status of a King of Soldiers was extremely rare worldwide.
Innate was even rarer.
Almost like an endangered species on the brink of extinction.
Lin Xi didn’t bother replying to her.
After all, the truth was right before them.
The rest of the Shangguan family had also heard Lin Xi’s words.
Their initially grave expressions turned pale in an instant.
Could this be the end for the Shangguan family?
Because with that many Innate, they could easily obliterate the Shangguan family.
The most crucial point was that even if they were wiped out, the Dragon King likely wouldn’t say anything.
After all, the Dragon King wasn’t here.
If he were here, these people wouldn’t dare touch the Shangguan family.
But he wasn’t.
With him absent, if anything outrageous was done and coupled with such a powerful lineup, even the world’s strongest Dragon King wouldn’t dare offend everyone.
Probably so!
In the ancient land of Huaxia.
Nobody could be certain if someone with power similar to or greater than the Dragon King might suddenly appear.
Lin Xi understood this very well.
Even though he didn’t know the extent of the Dragon King’s power, he could still be sure that the old man was definitely stronger than the Dragon King.
Indeed, that was the case.
What Lin Xi didn’t know was, a significant part of the Dragon King’s current achievements was thanks to the fortuitous opportunities casually given by the old man.
It was precisely because of this.
The actions Lin Xi had taken in recent months had actually stirred many people, and he had killed quite a few.
Yet officially, nobody had done anything to him.
This was entirely due to the Dragon King’s influence.
Otherwise, if anyone else acted like Lin Xi, the Dragon Soul Organization would have long marked him as a target.
Even if not strongly suppressed, a warning would still be issued.
After all, social order couldn’t be utterly destroyed.
Moreover, it needs to be protected well.
This is one of the fundamental reasons why overseas is much more chaotic than domestically.
As the Shangguan family was feeling despair, the twenty or so people who came appeared quite calm.
It was possible to vaguely sense their air of superiority.
This probably stemmed from the mindset of a top-tier family spanning hundreds of years.
In reality, but for any single family without Innate mid-stage powerhouses, they wouldn’t be stronger than the Shangguan family in top-tier strength.
Of course, the Shangguan family is only strong at the top level.
Below Innate strength, they still fall far short of these families.
Otherwise, the Shangguan family would merely be a top family in Chuzhou City, rather than the top family across several provinces and cities.
The people who came were from the most prestigious families across a vast region.
They’ve continued for several hundred years, even longer in some instances.
"The Li family from Hong Kong!"
"The Chu family from Sichuan Province!"
"The Yang family from Xiangxi!"
"The Chen family from Northwest!"
"The Xiong family from Northeast!"
"The Wen family from Jinzhong!"
"The Cao family from Yunnan!"
"The He family from Jiangnan!"
"The Cheng family from Northwest!"
"The Lai family from Central Plains!"
These were not spoken by the Shangguan family.
Rather, the group of people started introducing themselves.
The Shangguan family’s Grand Elder’s face was stone-like, without uttering a word.
The Third Elder, however, couldn’t help but say, "No wonder, no wonder!"
