Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 33 - 34: Just One Step Away

Chapter 33: Chapter 34: Just One Step Away

This elderly man held a prestigious status, and all the men in suits followed behind him and the middle-aged man.

He moved steadily, his complexion rosy, exuding a strong aura. Surrounded by supporters, he slowly approached from the entrance.

Seeing him, Zhou Hongwei was taken aback, his expression odd.

Mo Yuzong and Fang Mei were similarly moved, both stood up and hurriedly greeted him: "Elder Wu, why have you come?"

"Yes, Elder Wu, it’s just a minor martial arts contest, you didn’t need to come in person," Zhou Hongwei said with a smile.

"Dad."

"Grandpa."

Wu Tao and Wu Jinghua approached with ashamed faces, respectful and hardly daring to breathe.

In the parents’ area, many recognized the identity of the elderly man.

Wu Tingqing, the highest martial arts achiever alive in the Wu Family.

If Wu Jinghua led the Wu Family to its peak, then it was Wu Tingqing who laid the foundation for the Wu Family’s dominance in the Martial Arts World.

In recent years, he had rarely been seen, all family matters being managed by Wu Jinghua.

However, nobody could ignore Wu Tingqing’s presence, as it was precisely because of him that Wu Jinghua had been able to achieve so much.

He had a wide network of connections; the high officials and nobles he made acquaintances with in his youth were countless.

His arrival meant that leaders from both Binhai High School and Binhai University, without exception, all went up to greet him.

"When the younger ones are implicated, the elder ones show up," Gu Tielang said, arms crossed before his chest, his eyes filled with contempt.

"What should we do? I’ve heard of this old man, he has great influence. Should we sneak away?" Chen Yifan suggested.

"Lin Hao, should we leave first?" Lin Shiran also worried about potential trouble.

Lin Hao, as always, remained calm: "Don’t worry, it’s fine."

With Wu Tingqing’s arrival, the scene was formidable. Facing the leaders of both Binhai University and Binhai High School, he showed no pleasant expression: "If I hadn’t come, wouldn’t this place be in chaos?"

He glanced at Wu Tao and Wu Jinghua: "You two, have completely disgraced the Wu Family."

"Sorry." In front of Wu Tingqing, Wu Jinghua didn’t dare to even fart, behaving like a child, and Wu Tao dared not speak another word.

"Elder Wu, today is the enrollment day for Binhai University, can we discuss any grievances later?" Mo Yuzong said with a wry smile, worry evident in his eyes.

However, his worry was not for Lin Hao, but for Wu Tingqing. Given the current situation, even if you are a mighty elder, facing a Cultivator, you can’t stir a ripple.

It would have been better not to come. If any conflict truly arises, whether the Wu Family can still operate in Binhai remains to be seen.

Of course, some things he could not openly discuss.

The world of Cultivators is not something everyone has the privilege to fully understand.

"Principal Mo, I would have respected your wishes in the past, but..." Wu Tingqing’s speech was somewhat hoarse but his presence was uncompromising, "today, it’s not possible. My son and grandson have knelt before others, if I could bear this, how would others view me, how would they view the Wu Family?"

"This..." Mo Yuzong was at a loss for words.

He had said what needed to be said, how the other party chose to act was beyond his control.

Choose correctly.

The Wu Family would be safe.

Choose poorly.

The Wu Family would bear the consequences themselves.

Mo Yuzong spoke no more, giving Zhou Hongwei a look, who also fell silent.

"Interesting." Not far away, Yao Mengchen’s lips curved slightly as she picked up her phone and sent out a text message.

Simultaneously, a kilometer away from Binhai High School, a police squad preparing for deployment suddenly received an order from their superiors.

The order was brief.

"Binhai High School, someone is handling it, no need to go."

As a police officer, the most important thing is to follow the orders from superiors; promptly, the squad leader ordered to stand down.

Binhai High School.

Wu Tingqing had already walked up to Lin Hao.

However, he did not even glance at Lin Hao.

His gaze was fixed on Gu Tielang.

"Is it him who defeated you?" Wu Tingqing asked.

Behind him, Wu Jinghua nodded: "Yes, grandfather."

"You didn’t lose unjustly; he is indeed stronger than you. However... Gu Tielang, you were too ruthless ten years ago. My son lay in bed for a full three years."

"Ten years later, you forced my son to kneel again. Over the years, the Wu Family couldn’t find you, allowing you to escape a calamity. Since you’ve come today... let’s settle the past once and for all."

"Come, I’ll let you attack first, to avoid others saying that I, Wu Tingqing, bully the younger generation."

Wu Tingqing is not tall nor burly, appearing frail like an old man, yet he stands before Gu Tielang unflinchingly.

In fact, his aura has already surpassed Gu Tielang’s.

Gu Tielang ignored him and looked towards Lin Hao.

Lin Hao nodded slightly.

Having received permission, he then turned his head, saying nothing, unwilling to say anything.

In his hand, a knife appeared.

A lethal knife, a killing knife.

"Swish!"

The knife moved, aiming straight for Wu Tingqing’s throat.

He aimed to seal the throat with one strike!

"Nice move, but unfortunately, still too young." Wu Tingqing’s expression remains unchanged, his feet slightly shifted, and the deadly strike easily evaded.

Not even a single strand of his hair was touched.

At the same time, his fist was in motion.

This punch was very strong, even stronger than Wu Jinghua’s!

"Boom!"

Gu Tielang’s abdomen took a direct punch.

A tremendous force emanated from his abdomen.

Gu Tielang grunted, his face suddenly turned pale, he staggered back, and was about to fall to the ground.

"Wow, this old man is so strong!"

"The person who defeated Wu Jinghua with one move has been defeated by him in one move."

"The Wu Family truly lives up to its reputation."

"Today is quite the revelation; I thought it was just a recruitment event, but didn’t expect to watch such a great show!"

Whispers buzzed continuously all around, and Wu Tingqing’s reputation reached its peak in an instant.

As Gu Tielang kept retreating, just as he was about to hit the ground, a strong arm caught his body.

At the same time, the force on his body was easily dissipated by a strange aura.

The often overlooked Lin Hao finally stood out at this moment.

He indifferently said, "Old thing is strong, nearly one step away."

One step away from becoming a cultivator.

Of course, Gu Tielang is no match.

"Let me try again," Gu Tielang gritted his teeth.

"No need, leave him to me," Lin Hao patted his shoulder.

"Yes, master." Gu Tielang stepped back, without uttering another word.

It was only at this moment that Wu Tingqing noticed Lin Hao. From the very beginning, Lin Hao hadn’t caught his attention.

In his eyes, Lin Hao was merely a student.

Whether in martial power, wealth, or authority, he could crush him.

But when he heard Gu Tielang call Lin Hao master, his expression subtly changed, looking at Lin Hao oddly.

The more he looked, the more he couldn’t see through him.

"It seems I was overthinking..." Wu Tingqing sighed internally, just a kid after all, how strong could he possibly be?

"Kid, I advise you to focus on your studies, don’t try to act the hero," Wu Tingqing adopted an instructive tone, "Go back. I only want Gu Tielang to kneel and kowtow three times to my son, and this matter will be done."
