Ma Liang Had Grown

Zhang Zekui was laughing so hard he peed himself!

Is this woman who's talking crazy?

Is your nephew Ma Liang of the Vast Heaven Sect?

Why don't you just say your nephew is Chu Xinghe of the Vast Heaven Sect?

Can't you even make something up?

If you were to say today that your nephew is a manager in the Vast Heaven Sect... I, Zhang Zekui, might actually believe you...

But you're saying your nephew is Ma Liang of the Vast Heaven Sect? You're not even speaking human language, you know that?

Without saying a word, Zhang Zekui stepped forward and slapped Liu Ying across the face.

Zhang Zekui intended to slap this woman to bring her to her senses.

Just as Zhang Zekui was about to slap Liu Ying's face, a wisp of ghostly energy suddenly emerged, instantly transforming into Ancient Specter. The ghost's eyes flashed with blood-red light, and it slammed its claw directly into Zhang Zekui's chest.

In an instant, Zhang Zekui's chest caved in, and he was blasted backward by the immense force of the Ancient Specter, crashing through the Bai Clan's courtyard wall and landing outside the Bai Clan.

As the dust that had risen from the courtyard wall gradually dissipated... a voice came from outside the Bai Clan.

"Fifteen years have passed since we last met, Aunt... how are you...?"

With this sound, the entire Star City, centered on the Bai Clan, was instantly enveloped by endless ghostly energy.

Countless Ancient Specter emerged from beneath the earth, emitting mournful howls... And among the countless vengeful spirits, an ugly-looking fellow walked step by step toward the Bai Clan.

With each step he took, countless Ancient Specter would fly out from behind him.

Those ghosts exuded a terrifying aura that suppressed the entire Star City!

At this moment, no matter where you are in Star City, you can feel the ghostly aura that almost crushes your soul!

A terrifying storm of ghostly spirits swirled around Ma Liang, and in an instant, all the Heroic Martial Ancestor within the Bai Clan were blasted away by the ghostly spirits, flying out of the Bai Clan's territory.

Not only the Bai Clan, but all the powerful figures in the entire Star City were stunned by the sudden appearance of the ghost.

Countless powerful figures headed towards the Bai Clan, but when they saw Ma Liang, whose body was entangled with Ancient Specter, all the powerful figures in Star City were dumbfounded!

Ma Liang, the Master of Ghost Valley!

This is Ma Liang, the legendary Master of Ghost Valley!

How did he end up in a small place like Star City?

What merit does a small place like Star City possess to have Ma Liang appear here?

Moreover, seeing the anger emanating from Ma Liang, many powerful figures were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe loudly...

After all, Ma Liang had slaughtered countless people in the Great Moon Kingdom, his eyes were dry from killing so many.

Some outsiders even say that Ma Liang was only a follower of Chu Xinghe... otherwise, he would definitely be a supreme figure in the Demonic Sect.

Only someone like Chu Xinghe could make Ma Liang obediently follow his orders...

But who exactly provoked such a terrifying being as Ma Liang today?

Liu Ying had no idea how terrifying Ma Liang was. As Liu Ying watched Ma Liang walk in step by step from outside the door, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Fifteen years ago, after Liu Ying married into the Bai Clan in Jiangnan, she never saw her most beloved nephew again.

Ma Liang's mother died early, and Liu Ying took care of Ma Liang from a young age, wanting Ma Liang to experience more maternal love... Every day, Liu Ying would tell Ma Liang stories about her older sister...

Fifteen years have passed since they parted. Although Liu Ying has never said anything, she misses her nephew Ma Liang very much.

However, Liu Ying did not hold a high position in the Bai Clan, and Liu Ying herself was not a cultivator. Apart from knowing that her nephew had entered the Vast Heaven Sect, she knew nothing else about Liu Ying Ma Liang.

But today, Liu Ying never dreamed... that her nephew was actually the legendary Master of Ghost Valley, Ma Liang!

That name that has been sung countless times!

As Ma Liang stepped into the Bai Clan, everyone in the entire Bai Clan was stunned!

Ma Liang, the Master of Ghost Valley!

The second wife's nephew was actually Ma Liang, the Master of Ghost Valley!

Is this really the second wife we know, the one who's practically invisible in the Bai Clan?

Your nephew is Ma Liang, the Master of Ghost Valley. How do you manage to keep such a low profile?

Bai Wenzheng, the head of the Bai Clan, was a man who had seen the world, but at this moment, looking at the Master of Ghost Valley, Bai Wenzheng felt his legs go weak.

The strongest person Bai Wenzheng had ever met in his life was the sect leader of the Heroic Martial Ancestor. But the person in front of him, let alone the sect leader of the Heroic Martial Ancestor, might not be able to compare with him, even the sect leaders of the Ten Great Sects!

And this person turned out to be his sister-in-law's nephew...

Bai Wenzheng Bai Clan at his wife beside him, whose face had turned pale with fright...

You should know that the eldest wife of the Bai Clan is usually domineering and has often insulted Liu Ying, the second wife... She even occasionally withholds Liu Ying's various supplies...

But the Liu Ying was timid and never said anything...

The First Madam even boasted to Liu Ying more than once about how glorious her family was, and how the Bai Clan's success was all thanks to her family.

At this moment, the First Madam was at a loss for words...

Her own family was at most a steward of the Heavenly Lake Sect... but Liu Ying's nephew was Ma Liang, the Master of Ghost Valley.

Unlike Liu Ying, who was indifferent to outside affairs, the First Madam knew exactly what the name Ma Liang represented.

To put it simply... outsiders say that as long as Chu Xinghe remains in power, no one in the younger generation can suppress Ma Liang!

Although Ma Liang is a permanent outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, it is common knowledge that Ma Liang position as the Future Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect is almost a certainty.

As long as Chu Xinghe doesn't disagree, Ma Liang's position is absolutely unshakeable!

Without a doubt, for the First Madam, someone like Ma Liang was already a legend, someone she might never be able to come into contact with in her lifetime.

But today, Ma Liang has come to the Bai Clan, and it turns out he is the second wife Liu Ying's nephew.

To everyone's astonishment, Ma Liang walked step by step to his aunt and then embraced her, the woman who had loved him most since childhood.

Tears streamed down Ma Liang's face.

Liu Ying hugged Ma Liang, sobbing uncontrollably. Liu Ying didn't care about Ma Liang's status or his Ma Liang success; at that moment, Liu Ying wanted to say was, "Sister, you can rest in peace now... Ma Liang has grown up... He doesn't need me to protect him anymore..."

He can protect himself now...

Taking out a handkerchief to wipe away his aunt's tears, Ma Liang said, "Aunt, you should rest for a bit. I'll deal with these guys first..."

After speaking, Ma Liang turned his gaze toward the Heroic Martial Ancestor.

At this moment, Zhang Zekui had already lost all his breath. Zhang Zekui was only Sixth Rank cultivator, while that Ancient Specter, although not the strongest ghost that Ma Liang could currently control, was still a Ninth Rank Ghost Emperor level existence.

That claw Zhang Zekui would be devastating, even to the likes of Heroic Martial Ancestor, the master of the Qu Yingcheng Sect!

Ma Liang walked step by step toward the Heroic Martial Ancestor, and in an instant, the area where the Heroic Martial Ancestor were located was all wet...

There was no way around it... Ma Liang's aura was too terrifying; the disciples of the Heroic Martial Ancestor were already scared out of their wits!

"You may leave..." Ma Liang looked at the Heroic Martial Ancestor with indifferent eyes, said nothing more, and waved his hand to remove the restrictions on all of them.

However, even though the restriction was lifted, these disciples of the Heroic Martial Ancestor not only did not escape, but instead all collapsed to the ground!

Ma Liang didn't even glance at them, and turned to walk back to the Bai Clan.

The Bai Clan was stunned when they saw Ma Liang simply tell all the Heroic Martial Ancestor to leave...

When Ma Liang appeared, the Bai Clan thought Ma Liang was going to go on a killing spree.

After all, Ma Liang was renowned far and wide; even today, the royal family of the Great Moon Kingdom would wet their pants in fear at the mere mention of Ma Liang name.

Not only the Bai Clan members, but also the many experts from Star City who had come to watch from the Bai Clan surrounding area were all puzzled.

Did Ma Liang just let the disciples of the Heroic Martial Ancestor leave like that?

Was it just killing Zhang Zekui?

Isn't this a bit too lenient?

Given Ma Liang's character, shouldn't the bloodshed have been immense?

But just as the many powerful figures were puzzled, a voice rang out.

"Ma Liang has grown... These disciples of the Heroic Martial Ancestor are just following orders. Killing Zhang Zekui is enough; there's no need to harm the innocent."

The voice came from a young man, and the many powerful figures looked puzzled upon hearing his words.

Someone on the spot said, "Young man... what the hell are you saying?"

This is Ma Liang, the Master of Ghost Valley... Is it appropriate for Ma Liang to cause bloodshed when he takes action?

Besides, even if there isn't a bloodbath, isn't it a bit too merciful to let these Heroic Martial Ancestor leave like this? The Heroic Martial Ancestor has really gone too far in bullying Aunt Ma Liang...

Shouldn't they be punished?

Those around him agreed that what the man said made sense, and that he definitely needed to be punished!

Hearing the surrounding whispers, the young man calmly stated, "That's because your cultivation level is insufficient. Punishment? What merit does the Heroic Martial Ancestor possess to deserve Ma Liang's punishment?"

Ma Liang told them to leave today, but do you think it's over just because the people from Heroic Martial Ancestor left?

Once you reach a certain level, you won't need to punish others at all, because they will know how to punish themselves to satisfy you.

Therefore, Heroic Martial Ancestor will soon send over the results of their self-punishment, and they will give Ma Liang a result that will satisfy Ma Liang even more than Ma Liang had punished himself.

So, Ma Liang has grown up. In the past, he would have done things himself as you all suggested, but now he knows what his position is and what he should do.

He disdained to punish Heroic Martial Ancestor; Heroic Martial Ancestor would punish himself and satisfy Ma Liang!

Hearing the young man's explanation, the group of powerful figures were all dumbfounded...

"What are you saying, young man? What do you mean we're not at a high enough level... Who do you think you are!"

"Yeah! This young man is so young, yet he's so arrogant, Ma Liang has grown up... Do you even know whether Ma Liang has grown up or not? Who do you think you are to say such arrogant things?"

"Please excuse my ignorance, but I do know a little bit about Ma Liang... My name is Chu Xinghe..."

The entire audience. "???????"
