So I Am A Demon Descendent!
chapter-234

“Your family leader?” Li Xianyu looked at him. He was dressed as a standard bodyguard. Saying that was actually a compliment. In ancient times, he was a servant. All the senior figures in demon descendant families were experts, and they acted as cannon fodder in case of any danger.

“Chen family!” said the middle-aged man in a suit.

Li Xianyu was sure that he had nothing to do with the Chen family, but he was not surprised by the invitation. It seemed that some people couldn’t help but covet him after seeing his double awakening in the challenge arena during the day.

“Thank the Chen family leader for me. I’ll attend with Great-Grandma someday when I’m free.” In his opinion, the timing of the other party’s selection was just right. When Great-Grandma went out to fool around, they found him quietly.

This section was just like the male lead going out in a TV play. The villain took advantage of the emptiness of the house and swindled the heroine out of the house to plot mischief.

A smart heroine should stay at home and not go out.

“Mister Li, you worry too much.” The middle-aged man smiled. “This is Lianghua temple. Who dares to make trouble? It’s just that there are some words that are inconvenient to say in front of the Unparalleled War Spirit. So please, go and have a talk.”

Li Xianyu pondered for a moment, and thoughts that his words were not unreasonable. There was a saying that blocking was better than sparring. If he were to hide and not show himself, the other party’s suspicions towards him would increase, and they would plot something against him.

Why don’t I take advantage of the environment of the Forum Conference? In the territory of Lianghua temple, there’s Buddha Head holding the fort. Would the rest of the people do something to me?

The Chen family’s reputation was okay, at least better than the Shen family’s reputation.

“Lead the way!” Li Xianyu said.

He was a stupid heroine. He had been cheated out after all. He hoped that the ending would not be “all men”.

When he came to a courtyard with black bricks and white tiles, he saw that the banquet was placed under the patio. There was a big round table with a light bulb hanging from the corner of the eaves. There were twelve elders sitting beside the round table.

The middle-aged man in suit didn’t go in. He stopped at the door and invited Li Xianyu inside.

A cluster of eyes looked towards him. Li Xianyu stood outside the arched courtyard as his face stiffened.

Fuck, it was really “all men”.

Other than the Shen family and Wu family, the heads of the other five families should all be here. In addition, there were also Taoist and Buddhist elders, Elder Ling Bao and Elder Hua Yu. In addition, there were two benevolent-looking old monks. Li Xianyu couldn’t call them famous.

“We meet again,” said Elder Hua Yu with a gentle and dignified smile. “Please take a seat, Benefactor Li.”

“Li Xianyu, come and sit next to me.” A thin and elegant middle-aged man waved with a smile on his face.

Li Xianyu glanced at him. There was a vacancy around the elegant man’s seat. He thought it was a place reserved for him.

“Hello everyone.” Li Xianyu’s brain spasmed as he muttered a sentence in inaccurate Cantonese.

Everyone nodded.

“Everyone’s here. I’m the host today. Let’s drink tea instead of wine.” The thin and elegant man raised the tea cup.

Li Xianyu’s mind thought about the information related to the elegant man. He was the Chen family leader, Chen Taiji. He was Chen Yu’s cousin, and his cousin Chen Yu was ranked 42nd in the demon descendants’ list. He was good at the 108 flying swords, which harnessed a whole new level of power amongst the ability of wind.

Despite the brilliance of Chen Yu, Chen Taiji trumped him. Chen Taiji had an average talent in abilities, but he was a super first-class talent in the field of qi. He loved Taiji ever since he was a child in Wudang. He had a strong hand in Taiji, and he even changed his name to Chen Taiji.

Influenced by Taoism, he was a warm and orthodox person.

The table was full of vegetables, no wine and no meat. In fact, the monks in the temple wouldn’t say anything even if they were to secretly eat fish and meat. The reputation of Buddha Head could be seen. Of course, it could also be related to the four Taoist and Buddhist leaders sitting here.

Although it was a vegetarian feast, the chef was obviously better than the chef in the kitchen of Lianghua temple. The full table of vegetables made Li Xianyu crave meat.

You elders are trash, you killed my father. I will not eat your food even if I die… Not.

At the dinner party, the atmosphere was a bit quiet. There was no flashiness, no hearty chatter. First of all, they were seniors in charge. Li Xianyu was not qualified to let them lower their statuses. Dan Chenzi and Jie Se were not qualified as well.

Secondly, the identity and positions of both sides were a little awkward. They were more or less involved in the attack on Li Wuxiang as they coveted his treasures.

Chen Taiji coughed. “Li Xianyu, congratulations on defeating Miyamoto Hideki and entering the top eight. Uncle will give you a toast.”

Li Xianyu chewed the food, hurriedly put down his chopsticks and held up his tea cup. “Thank you, Uncle Chen.”

After drinking tea and eating for a long time, it was time to get to the point. Chen Taiji put down his cup and said with a smile. “We old guys have upheld the demon descendants’ community, and we have a history of at least 80 years. It’s very gratifying to see this generation of young talents emerge in large numbers. The world is ours and yours, but ultimately, the world is yours.”

“Uncle Chen, don’t say this. There are people who live long everywhere. You elders have potential as well. This world will remain yours… Oh, don’t get me wrong. I meant that you elders are powerful, and will live to a ripe old age,” Li Xianyu replied.

He buried himself in the food.

Chen Taiji looked stunned as he smiled and nodded. “However, while we are not completely old, we want to see a whole new level of glory.”

He pointed to the top of his finger. “Nephew, your double awakening today… Is it your father’s blessing?”

Everyone in the room held their breath and stared at Li Xianyu.

Li Xianyu didn’t seem to hear it, so he ate it.

After a moment of stalemate, a man with a beard hummed, “Li Xianyu, upright people don’t talk behind people’s backs. The treasure that Li Wuxiang said could subvert the world, is it the method of double awakening?”

He was Wang Tiancheng, the leader of the Wang family.

He was the father of Wang Quan, who was part of the gang of seven. He was domineering and didn’t have a good reputation.

Li Xianyu looked at him and continued to eat.

Wang Tiancheng sneered again, “If silence can solve everything, your father would not have had such an ending.”

Li Xianyu’s veins could be seen on his chopstick-wielding hand. He still didn’t speak, like a child who was at a loss under pressure, who could only choose to remain silent.

Elder Hua Yu said softly, “Comrade Wang, Li Wuxiang’s incident was one that no one would would have liked it to happen. In those days, whether or not you were here and no matter whether or not you belong to Buddhism or Taoism, many elites were lost. No one wants that tragedy to happen again.”

Wang Tiancheng said, displeased, “If Li Wuxiang knows the current affairs, who would want to kill him? It’s not good for everyone to kill him. It’s a waste of time.”

The face of Elder Hua Yu looked sullen. “You still say…”

Looking at Li Xianyu, she turned to be gentle. “Don’t be afraid, benefactor Li. We have no bad intentions. We just want to talk to you and ask you something. I hope you’ll let us know.”

Li Xianyu said helplessly, “Elder Hua Yu, I really don’t know anything. When he died, I was still in my mother’s womb. I grew up under your supervision. How much substance do I have? Don’t you know? Besides, my father will not tell me such an important secret. Only when I don’t know anything, can I live well. Isn’t that right? Everyone here, isn’t that right?”

“Li Xianyu, your powers have changed from strengthening to self-healing, and now you have awakened two powers. I don’t know seems forced here,” Shentu Changgong, the oldest family leader here, said deeply.

Li Xianyu looked aggrieved.

Seeing the situation, Chen Taiji poured a cup of tea for Li Xianyu.

“I dare not.” Li Xianyu received the teapot.

Chen Taiji said, “Li Xianyu, your father’s story is more or less related to us. When someone disclosed the news to the demon descendants’ community, that Li Wuxiang entered the Great Deities Palace and came out alive, and got the treasure that could subvert the world. Since ancient times, wealth has aroused people’s hearts. What’s more, it’s the treasure in the Great Deities Palace. After Demonic Priest entered there, when he came out…”

He tapped his fingers on the table. “He dominated an era, the peak of the Gokudo Path. Who doesn’t want to be the second Demonic Priest? Who doesn’t want to look down on the world and be invincible? Good guy, everyone’s crazy. Even if we don’t participate, there will be others involved. We can’t watch the treasure fall into the hands of others, can we?”

“We didn’t mean to kill your father. He was too stubborn and aroused public anger. It’s also the limitation of the times. All good things should be kept as heirlooms. The times are different now. You can sit down and talk about everything. From the development of an enterprise to the survival of a country, it can be negotiated at the negotiation table.”

“As a young man, you are more sensitive and open-minded. Uncle Chen is also reminding you kindly. Today’s performance, how many pairs of eyes saw that? I don’t know how many people are coveting you outside.”

“Amitabha, Benefactor Li, the overall situation is important.” A kind-hearted old monk whispered.

Although the others didn’t speak, the invisible pressure, which was like a big mountain, was on Li Xianyu.

After a moment’s silence, Li Xianyu swallowed the food in his mouth and put down his chopsticks. “I really want to talk with you about some words. When I was a child, I read a novel, which is called the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre. The protagonist’s parents knew the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Sabre, so they were besieged by various schools in the pugilistic world and blocked on Wudang Mountain. Zhang Sanfeng is the best expert in the pugilistic world, but he couldn’t hold it any longer. No matter how strong his personal ability was, he couldn’t compete with the whole world. He could only watch his disciples being forced to die by the major sects.”

The people looked at each other with different expressions.

Li Wuxiang’s encounter was not the same as the bridge in the novel. Buddha Head was Zhang Sanfeng. He was the best master in the world, but he was also the leader of the righteous side, so he couldn’t protect his apprentices.

“The protagonist’s parents died when he was young. He had a very unfortunate and miserable childhood. However, there was no way for him to surpass others. When he was an adult, he not only practiced the Nine Yang magic skill and the Movement of Heaven and Earth, but also became the leader of the demon sect.”

“One of his sentences was unforgettable…” Li Xianyu’s calm eyes suddenly sharpened, as if hiding a knife.

“Shaolin.”

“Emei.”

“Kongtong.”

“Huashan.”

“Kunlun.”

Every time he talked about a sect, his eyes flashed over a big guy and took a deep breath. “I, Zhang Wuji, am back.”

His voice fell and the air seemed to freeze.

The elders looked surprised, or afraid, or cold…

Li Xianyu looked at them fearlessly.

Both sides were in a stalemate. The atmosphere is like a taut string, on the edge of tension at any time.

Suddenly, Li Xianyu laughed. “Hahahaha…”

“Why are you so nervous? I haven’t finished. Later, he became the leader of the demon sect. Instead of taking revenge, he stood up and helped the six sects during their time of disaster. He repaid evil with good. His heart is made of gold.” Li Xianyu gave a thumbs up. “He is my model. I admire him for being a man and want to be as honest as him. I don’t care about what happened in those days, I don’t care about it.”

As soon as the atmosphere on the table relaxed, the elders subconsciously followed and laughed.

The table was full of happiness.

Sharp in mind, a slight frown, and inexplicable feelings were influenced by Li Xianyu.

“Uncle Chen is right. Everything can be settled at the negotiation table. Everything in the world has its price. There is nothing that money can’t buy. If there is, it’s not enough money.” Li Xianyu took a sip of bitter tea. “It’s a civilized society, it’s no longer 20 years ago. There is no need to resort to violence if the matter can be solved peacefully.”

“It’s wonderful that you have such awareness,” Hua Yu said with a smile.

“But…” Li Xianyu’s attitude turned around again.
