Chapter 965 - Chapter 965 Chapter 965 Overseas Magician
Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Overseas Magician! Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Overseas Magician! Upon seeing the members of the Yan Family, Huang Xiaolong knew that the top ten ancient martial arts families of Huaxia had benefited greatly from their trip to the Kunlun secret realm. Although they had lost their family heirs, they had gained ancient martial arts inheritances, and the martial skills of their family members had generally improved significantly, with limitless potential.
“Hmm, not bad,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
“I wonder, Young Master Huang, what brings you to Beijing… if there is… anything you need~~” The man was fawning and obsequious, utterly lacking the pride of a martial practitioner. “Young Master Huang, should you have any commands, just say the word, and our Yan Family will brave fire and water to see it done for you~”
“Hehe~~ that matter, your Yan Family is not yet capable of handling for me~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled awkwardly. “Never mind, I’ll handle it myself.”
The woman’s eyes rolled several times before she whispered, “Young Master Huang, have… have you had dinner yet?”
“Not yet,” Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the man and woman both lit up. They almost simultaneously said, “Then why don’t you, Young Master Huang, join us for a simple meal?”
As they spoke, their expressions were slightly excited, their bodies trembling.
“Hehehe~~” Huang Xiaolong was amused at their transparency, “Are you perhaps looking for my help with something? It seems to me that you have ulterior motives~~”
“No no no, Young Master Huang, we wouldn’t dare,” the man quickly defended.
“Come on, just tell the truth,” Huang Xiaolong said with some impatience.
The two Yan Family members no longer dared to hide the truth, and they told Huang Xiaolong everything that was to happen tonight–
It turns out that in Beijing, a multitude of influential families coexist, and although they did not have open disputes on the surface, there were always undercurrents of competition for the spotlight.
Apart from the Yan Family, there was the Wang Family in Beijing, another colossal force of power and influence.
The Yan Family and the Wang Family liked to suppress each other as well.
Recently, the Wang Family had employed several Guest Elders. These Guest Elders were not minor figures, but sorcerers who had returned from overseas!
It could be said that Huaxia had nearly entered the end of the age of spells, with various magics largely withered and lineages broken, so much so that the disciples of Heavenly Master Zhang, who knew a bit about Taoist magic, could wreak havoc and do as they pleased.
However, throughout the ages, many Taoists had left the central lands to settle overseas, either to establish their own sects, continue their lineages, seek out natural treasures, or build their private retreats.
In other words, the Taoist practices that had dwindled in the central lands might still persist overseas!
Chances are, overseas sorcerers were more formidable than those in the central lands.
Moreover, overseas sorcerers had one defining feature–mystery!
Extreme mystery!
Furthermore, after the Wang Family had taken in these overseas sorcerers, they started showing off in Beijing’s high-society circles and even intimidated the Yan Family.
The Yan Family was an ancient martial arts family, with many outstanding Great Grandmasters among their ranks, but when it came to magic, that was a realm they knew nothing about.
The overseas sorcerers from the Wang Family had put on several convincing shows at the expense of the Yan Family, who spent money to bring in some Taoists to compete in a magic showdown with the Wang Family’s sorcerers, only to suffer humiliating defeats!
Tonight, the Wang Family had set up a banquet and invited some members of the Yan Family, ostensibly for a casual gathering, but the underlying intention was to humiliate them!
The Yan Family was out of options, having spent so much to hire Taoists for appearances, only to be powerless in front of those overseas sorcerers.
Tonight, they were prepared to go along with the humiliation.
Unexpectedly, these Yan Family members happened upon Huang Xiaolong!
Wasn’t this like rain after a long drought?
They believed that as long as they could persuade Huang Xiaolong to take action, not only would the Yan Family avoid being humiliated tonight, they would crush the Wang Family and recover all the face they had lost!
Those sorcerers from overseas were nothing compared to Huang Xiaolong!
However, the Yan Family members were still anxious and fearful that Huang Xiaolong might misunderstand, thinking they were using him as a pawn. Offending Huang Xiaolong was something they couldn’t even begin to contemplate!
“Oh, I see, I understand completely,” Huang Xiaolong nodded with a playful look, his gaze turning to Ma Chuxia and the others, “My little wives, here’s an opportunity to enjoy a free banquet. Are you interested?”
“Pfft~~ Little Long, don’t I know you well enough?” Ma Chuxia smiled charmingly. “You’re not interested in the food; as soon as you heard about overseas sorcerers, you couldn’t wait to test your skills against them, right? …Alright, we’ll accompany you. I’ve never encountered overseas sorcerers either. I only know they’re very mysterious, but I don’t know how their spells compare to those of our central lands’ Taoists.”
Huo Bingyan’s eyes brightened. “Husband, I get it! These sorcerers from overseas must have come for my master’s birthday festivities!”
“Don’t be so full of yourself when you talk,” Huang Xiaolong said with distaste, glaring at Huo Bingyan. “When you meet those overseas sorcerers, keep your yap shut about who you are, got it? Just eat quietly and don’t make trouble.”
“Oh, husband, I know, I know,” Huo Bingyan immediately cuddled up to Huang Xiaolong’s arm obediently.
Huang Xiaolong then glanced at Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Blackie, the three little monsters. “You three better keep a low profile as well.”
After that, Huang Xiaolong said to the two Yan Family members. “Alright, we’ll tag along for some good food.”
“That’s wonderful!” The pair from the Yan Family were practically dancing with joy.
Immediately, they called for several luxury cars to take Huang Xiaolong and the others to the Wang Family.
The Beijing Wang Family!
This Wang Family was located on the outskirts of Beijing, occupying a feng shui treasure land by the mountains and waters, shrouded in an aura of wealth and power.
The villa complex was built alongside the mountain.
In front of the grand main villa, the lights shone brilliantly as a buffet reception was being held.
The Yan Family’s driver, drove the car and brought Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and others directly to the reception site.
They got out of the car.
Huang Xiaolong looked up.
There were about a hundred people attending the reception, all dressed dazzlingly, exuding an impressive aura. From their appearance, they were all people of great wealth and high status.
Among them, those with surging True Qi within their bodies were members of the Yan Family.
Huang Xiaolong also saw several elders with restrained divine light and pervasive vitality; they were from the Yan Family’s Elder Group, and among them was the standout figure of the current Clan Leader of the Yan Family!
The others were members and high-level figures from the Wang Family. Although most had not cultivated ancient martial arts, they naturally exuded noble aura and the authority of high ranking individuals!
“Hehe~~” Huang Xiaolong let out a light, indifferent laugh.
Ma Chuxia and Huo Bingyan were no ordinary people and were not overly constrained by such a scene. As for Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Heimei, being monsters of over a thousand years, they cared even less; whether it was high and mighty nobility or commoners, to them, the difference wasn’t significant.
What caught Huang Xiaolong’s attention, however, was that in a corner of the reception, there were three men in their thirties who seemed extremely out of place, holding their wine glasses and drinking.
They exuded a very peculiar aura of Taoist power.
At the moment, their expressions were extremely arrogant, disdainful, and indifferent, as if they were high-ranking officials who had come to a rural area.
“Little wife, do you see those three standing over there, with the look of smugness on their faces? I guess they must be the so-called overseas magicians,” Huang Xiaolong said with intense interest.
He instantly recognized that the auras of Taoist power on these three overseas magicians were distinctly different from the Taoist powers inherited in the Central Plains (Huaxia)!
Huang Xiaolong almost felt the thrill of the hunt!
At this moment, the younger generation of the Wang Family burst into laughter. “Hahaha~~~ Yan Jun, Yan Yiyi, you’re quite late tonight~~ Huh? Who are these people? Tonight’s buffet reception is an internal gathering of our Wang Family and your Yan Family. Why have you brought some irrelevant people over?”
No sooner had these words fallen than everyone at the buffet reception stopped eating, stopped talking, and turned their gaze toward Huang Xiaolong and Ma Chuxia and the others.
Indeed, looking at the attire of Huang Xiaolong and his group, to the eyes of ordinary people, it absolutely could not be described as shabby, but in the eyes of people from such large families, they might as well have been beggars!
It was clear they were not from the same circle!
Immediately, several members of the Wang Family began to mock coldly and sarcastically–
“Hehe, what sorts of people are these? You Yan Family really aren’t choosy, daring to bring anyone into our Wang Family’s domain.”
“I’m afraid they’re just some people delusional about climbing the social ladder.”
“People of such status coming here has ruined my appetite for dining. It’s a real mood-killer!”
“Where is security? Hurry up and kick these bumpkins out!”
…
Moments later!
All of the Yan Family’s people had their expressions stiffen instantly upon seeing Huang Xiaolong!
Suddenly!
Joy! Ecstasy! Excitement! Fear! Reverence! Astonishment…!
A flood of emotions surged forth!
“Oh, Old Yan, are these people your guests?” the Wang Family’s Clan Leader asked with a light smile, looking toward the Yan Family’s Clan Leader.
“This… this… these are not our guests~~~” The Yan Family’s Clan Leader’s eyes bulged in terror and nervousness, then he walked toward Huang Xiaolong hesitantly and trembling.
Every member of the Yan Family present did the same, cautiously approaching Huang Xiaolong!
Yes, in the eyes of the Yan Family, strictly speaking, Huang Xiaolong was not considered their guest. He was more like–a lifesaver! Master! Leader! King!
Before long, the people of the Yan Family all stood in front of Huang Xiaolong.
“Could it be, these fellows don’t have any deep relationship with the Yan Family and, by coming over rashly, have angered the senior levels of the Yan Family?” someone from the Wang Family remarked, taking pleasure in the others’ misfortune.
Suddenly!
“Young Master Huang! Salutations to Young Master Huang!” Led by the Yan Family’s Clan Leader, all the members of the Yan Family bowed deeply to Huang Xiaolong!
Their attitude could be described as devout!
Bang~~~!!!!
The wine glass in the hands of the Wang Family’s Clan Leader, gripped insecurely, slipped and smashed to the ground!
At the same time, the three unfathomable overseas magicians also turned their gaze toward Huang Xiaolong. Moreover, when they looked at Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Heimei, a strange light flickered in their eyes!
