Ning Yan remained indifferent, glancing at the people standing outside, a sense of helplessness in his heart.
The situation has escalated to this point, and it has essentially entered a vicious cycle with no solution.
The Ning Family is currently weaker than the Yang Family, so they have no choice but to back down in the face of their suppression. If they were to confront them head-on, their fate would be dire.
Yang Shanli looked coldly at the Second Elder and said contemptuously, "What, did I say something wrong? Aren't you just a dog of the Ning Family?"
"This is outrageous!"
The Second Elder was furious, but given the urgency of the situation, he managed to remain calm.
"Yang Shanli, stop pretending. This man bought Pill here yesterday, then immediately switched them with fake Pill, claiming there's something wrong with the Pill from my Hailing Chamber of Commerce of Commerce. He's just a troublemaker."
"If you're just targeting my Hailing Chamber of Commerce, why bother with so many excuses?"
Upon hearing this, many people outside frowned slightly.
Clearly, the Second Elder of the Ning Family's words were more convincing than Yang Shanli's.
The Yang Family has always been extremely domineering, and they are capable of framing and slandering others.
Yang Shanli's eyes were cold. He raised his hand and swung it out, and a powerful force surged from his body, attacking the Second Elder like a tidal wave.
"If the Hailing Chamber of Commerce operates in this way, then there is no need for it to continue existing. Pingyang City has no need for such an unscrupulous chamber of the Trade Association."
This attack was powerful, and Yang Shanli held nothing back. His goal was to kill the Second Elder and destroy the entire Hailing Chamber of Commerce at the same time.
Without the Hailing Chamber of Commerce, the Yang Family's Trade Association could seize more profits in Pingyang City, and the Ning Family would then pose no threat to them at all.
Upon seeing this, a look of panic flashed in the Second Elder's eyes. He had not expected that Yang Shanli would actually try to kill him directly.
You dare!
Ning Yan was furious that Yang Shanli had killed someone right in front of her.
Golden light Mi Man from her body, and she suddenly attacked Yang Shanli. The golden light was extremely sharp and seemed indestructible.
The Saint's inheritance that Ning Yan received was this Gold-element Saint Tier cultivation technique, a Cultivation Method suitable for those with Gold-element Physique.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have Gold-element Physique; otherwise, Ning Yan's combat power would be even more terrifying, at least comparable to the Mid Integration Stage, or even the Late Integration Stage.
Yang Shanli's expression hardened, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
They've taken the bait!
The reason he attacked the Second Elder was to provoke Ning Yan into attacking him, thus giving the Yang Family a sufficient reason to destroy the Ning Family.
If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper; if the words are not proper, things will not be accomplished.
They understand this principle.
Although the Yang Family has two Integration Stage, it still cannot incite public anger. Moreover, this is one of the Five Great Cities. Although there are not many strong individuals in the city, many of its forces have connections with other major powers.
Even the Yang Family cannot be offended.
Therefore, the forces they consolidated almost all lacked a solid foundation.
Yang Shanli immediately changed his offensive and launched a Past against Ning Yan.
"Bang!"
A tremendous explosion rang out, and the combined power of the two experts at the Integration Stage instantly leveled the Hailing Chamber of Commerce to the ground. Countless people were swept up by the gale and thrown into all directions.
"Run!"
Many low-level cultivators turned and ran away without looking back, no longer daring to watch the show.
At the very center of the attack, Yang Shanli retreated seven or eight steps before regaining his balance, while Ning Yan stood still without moving an inch.
Yang Shanli's face showed disbelief.
How is that possible!
Ning Yan actually possesses such strength!
The two had never officially fought before. Although they had had some indirect exchanges in the past, none of them had gone all out like today.
Then, in one of their encounters, he was surprisingly defeated.
Yang Shanli found it hard to believe that Ning Yan, with her Mid Void Refinement Stage Realm strength, could rival Early Integration Stage. This was already incredibly powerful.
It was somewhat unbelievable to him that someone could defeat an old man at the Early Integration Stage.
He was a genuine Nascent Integration Stage, yet he had been defeated by a Mid Void Refinement Stage, which made his face extremely grim.
Hateful!
Yang Shanli unleashed his strongest power, releasing a fierce Astral Wind from his body. The pressure of the Integration Stage erupted, causing many people around him to retreat in fear.
Even the aftershocks of a battle between experts at the Integration Stage can pose a threat to cultivators below the Void Refinement stage.
As for those Nascent Soul Stage or Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, they would likely be instantly killed in the aftershocks if they got too close.
"Damn Yang Shanli!"
Some people cursed inwardly, thinking that such rampant destruction would not only severely damage the surrounding houses, but would also cause some people with Cultivation Level to die a violent death.
These people were extremely dissatisfied, but they dared not show it because of the Yang Family's power.
If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?
Now.
A gigantic lion's head materialized above Yang Shanli, releasing a wild and terrifying aura. He suddenly accelerated, causing the earth to crack and spread inch by inch into the distance, as if some Giant Beast was about to emerge from the ground.
Although the Eastern Domain has risen to prominence, the Integration Stage remains a formidable force.
"Die!"
Yang Shanli roared, and the terrifying force instantly slammed towards Ning Yan.
Ning Yan's eyes narrowed. She assumed a defensive stance, and at the same time, golden sword light condensed in her palm. Her aura began to rise wildly, becoming increasingly terrifying.
"Bang!"
The next moment.
Two terrifying forces collided, and a huge explosion rang out, heard by everyone in Pingyang City. They looked in the direction of the sound with fear on their faces.
"Who is waging a major battle in the city? The Five Great Cities are the territory of the Su Family. Aren't they afraid of offending the Su Family by doing this?"
"Tch, this little battle only damaged some houses, it won't destroy Pingyang City. The Su Family has never bothered with such trivial matters."
Discussions continued to rise.
After the Su Family took control of the Five Great Cities, they did not set strict rules like those in Wangyun City, such as prohibiting combat within the city and requiring combat to take place in the dueling arena.
The other cities controlled by the Su Family are basically left to their own devices; as long as they don't go too far, the Su Family won't intervene.
This is a cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak. If everyone were like Wangyun City, Cultivator would Yuelai courageous.
Danger lurks everywhere; the law of the jungle prevails—this is the Rule survival in the Xuantian Realm.
If everyone is peaceful and harmonious, Cultivator will not strive to cultivate and gain stronger Cultivation Level, which is not a good result for the entire Cultivation World.
The reason why Wangyun City has such strict regulations is because it is the main city of the Su Family and the main city of the entire Eastern Domain.
The Su Family wanted to fill every corner of Wangyun City with the Su Family power, so that everyone who entered Wangyun City would feel the oppressive aura Su Family brought.
