Chapter 300: Chapter 244: A Golden Wind Suddenly Rises, the White Tiger Shakes the Mountain City (Part 2)

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone around turned to look at him.

It startled him, and he had no idea what he’d said wrong.

"Reaching Fourth Grade isn’t so easy. The main reason is that for thousands of miles around, besides the Inner City of Ganshan City, there are no known Fourth-Grade Cultivation Techniques," Vice Gang Leader Zhao explained calmly.

The young man had a sudden realization.

Tang Wen, however, had known this for a long time.

It was precisely because the City Lord of Ganshan City was the only Fourth-Grade powerhouse for thousands of miles around.

That was how Ganshan City had the confidence to dominate the region.

Fifth Grade was common, but Fourth Grade was one-of-a-kind.

The chasm between the two was said to be even greater than the one between a Martial Artist and an Extraordinary.

No matter how decrepit their spirit or frail their body, as long as an Extraordinary was still breathing, dealing with a Martial Artist was a sure thing.

And yet, there were still freaks like Tang Wen who, at the Peak of Martial Master, could overpower an Extraordinary.

But when a Fourth-Grade Divine Power Realm expert fought against a Fifth-Grade Divine Martial Realm expert, they didn’t have to worry about running into some freakish genius.

Even numbers didn’t matter.

Meaning, it didn’t matter how many Fifth-Grade experts you had, whether they were at the Peak of Fifth Grade or not. If they all attacked together, a Fourth-Grade Powerhouse wouldn’t need a second move!

Divine Techniques... a single Divine Technique.

Could kill all who came!

Tang Wen had never believed such claims.

It was like how the girls in the brothels of Ganshan City all claimed to adore his good looks, but Tang Wen never believed them.

’Was it all just for my looks?’

’Impossible. Surely my talent has something to do with it, right?’

But a while ago, the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall in the Outer City had revealed its hand.

After lying dormant and accumulating strength for years, nearly ten Fifth-Grade experts revealed themselves to blockade the four city gates.

In one fell swoop, they became a power comparable to the Three Great Families of the Inner City.

On the surface, they even seemed stronger than the Inner City’s Lu Family.

And yet, they showed no intention of challenging the Three Great Families.

’Did they not want to take their place?’

’Everyone strives for better things. How could they not want it?’

Tang Wen felt there was only one answer: without a Fourth-Grade Cultivation Technique, without a Fourth-Grade Powerhouse, they didn’t dare.

The Lu Family, after all, had once produced a City Lord.

’They definitely have the foundation of a Fourth-Grade power...’

Below the city wall, the women seemed to be growing impatient.

The young woman in the center suddenly reached out and threw something. It was a gentle, soft toss, completely devoid of force.

Both on and below the city wall were experts with exceptional eyesight; they saw it was a dusty gray pearl.

The woman’s icy expression didn’t change as her cold voice spread in all directions. "One look, and you’ll know what happened."

The gray pearl flashed in mid-air.

Many people cried out in surprise, because an image had appeared.

A Memory Pearl.

There was no sound, only pictures.

In the projection, a young man dressed as a Huang Family Steward was seen stepping forward to block the White Tiger entourage.

The recording was focused on him, and this Huang Family Steward was completely unaware.

His face was filled with a lecherous expression, his lips moving, though it was impossible to know what he was saying.

But everyone present could guess with their eyes closed that it wasn’t anything good.

On the city wall, the experts from the major powers wore varied expressions.

Their gazes toward the Huang Family were filled with scrutiny and hostility.

As expected!

So it was your family that stirred up this trouble.

Throwing the entire city into turmoil.

Even for a family as shameless as the Huang Family, they couldn’t help but lose face.

Under normal circumstances.

So what if they were shameless?

Huang San and the others would likely feel no shame. They might even have proudly shouted, "It is your good fortune that a disciple of our Huang Family has taken a fancy to you! It is your blessing! How dare you resist? Is there any justice in this world?"

But the group opposite them, humans and tigers included, consisted of a full twelve Fifth-Grade experts, most of whom were at the Peak of Fifth Grade.

And who knew what kind of power stood behind them.

The Huang Family might have had many members present.

But they had fewer Fifth-Grade experts in their prime than this single visiting squad.

What did they have to be so arrogant about?

Below the wall, the Fifth-Grade woman on the White Tiger spoke, "This man opened his mouth to insult our clan’s Saintess. He deserved to die!"

Huang San, representing the Huang Family, turned red in the face but said nothing.

The projection wasn’t over.

Then, two Sixth-Grade members of the Huang Family arrived, and upon seeing the women, their faces showed the exact same lecherous expressions!

Two Sixth-Grade experts trying to harass twelve Fifth-Grade experts... it would have been a miracle if they had survived.

A tall man with a Long Sword on his back sneered, "Truly worthy of the Huang Family’s disciples!"

PFFT!

Many in the crowd couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Huang San glanced at the speaker but made no move.

He only glared fiercely at those who were laughing.

Shui Qianjun dispersed the black mist shrouding them, and Shui Yun quietly explained, "The one who spoke is the Patriarch of the Chen Family. The Long Sword on his back is a family heirloom, one of the Curiosities."

The Chen Family.

One of the Three Great Families of the Inner City.

They kept a low profile, and their family’s signature business was high-end weaponry.

Tang Wen coveted the Long Sword, one of the Curiosities, but he didn’t dare stare at it for long.

The Fifth-Grade expert below spoke again, "My clan came in good faith to discuss a partnership! Who would have thought that before we even entered the city, a Fifth-Grade expert from the Huang Family would attack us! And that Third Master Huang on the wall once threatened to annihilate our entire clan. Well, we’re right here, and there aren’t many of us. Why doesn’t Third Master Huang dare to come down?"

A slap in the face!

They were holding him down and slapping him in the face!

Even though Huang San was famously shameless, his old face alternated between shades of green and white!

He had been careless and underestimated his enemy, receiving a serious injury in their very first exchange.

How could he possibly dare to go down now?

But a shameless person is truly invincible.

Under the mocking gazes of the entire crowd, the great Third Master Huang suddenly turned toward the City Lord, and with a THUD, fell to his knees.

Devoid of all integrity, completely without shame, he began to wail:

"Second Uncle! They have humiliated the Huang Family like this! If we cannot destroy them, my Huang Family’s position will be in grave danger! There are twelve Fifth-Grade experts down there. If you don’t make a move, the family truly cannot withstand them!"

"Fuck! This old man is truly disgusting," countless people cursed under their breath.

Tang Wen cursed as well.

But he was also envious.

’If possible, he’d love to have a Second Uncle like that.’

’A Second Aunt would be fine, too.’

Countless pairs of eyes looked up into the air.

The City Lord, wearing his Iron Crown, looked down at Huang San.

A barely audible sigh escaped.
