The county town was the center of the entire Taicang County. Although two of the three aristocratic families didn't have their headquarters in the county town, they still had a certain amount of property and businesses in the county town.
In the southern part of the city, on a street filled with rich people, a surprised voice came from a large house. "What did you say? With just one move, he was defeated. "
In the room, a severely injured Xu Yucai was lying on the bed. His face was extremely pale, and his breathing was rather rapid.
There were three men in front of the bed. Other than Xu Yude, there was also Xu Xiangci, whom He Yiming had met before. As for the last person, he looked like he was in his thirties, but his actual age was already over forty.
He had a medium build, and he wore a hollowed-out black striped robe that dragged down to his feet. He had a square face, and his cheekbones were slightly more prominent than normal people's. However, this flaw made his face filled with a strange charm. At this moment, his single-eyelid eyes were quietly looking at Xu Yucai, who was lying on the bed. No one knew what he was thinking.
Although he wasn't tall, when he stood next to Xu Xiangci, who was a head taller than him, it gave people a strange illusion that he was taller than Xu Xiangci.
Xu Xiangci suddenly turned his head and asked, "Fourth Brother, what do you think?"
Although the person in front of him was the youngest in the second generation of the Xu family, Xu Xiangci was undoubtedly the pride of the entire Xu family. He was also the second person in the Xu family who had reached Stage Nine Internal Force after the old man. He was also the most promising candidate to reach the peak of Stage Ten Internal Force.
In front of him, the other brothers in the second generation of the Xu family never put on airs.
Xu Xiangci took a step forward and reached out to stroke Xu Yucai's body a few times. Xu Yucai, who was still unconscious, slowly relaxed his tense body. The pain on his face also eased, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.
"Very powerful." Xu Xiangci said in a deep voice. "Yucai used a top-level combat skill, but he was still injured. He Yiming used an Innate-level combat skill?" Immediately after, he shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The He Clan is different from our Xu Clan. It's impossible for them to possess a secret manual like a Xiantian Battle Skill."
Xu Xiangci nodded and snorted. "How can the He family compare to our Xu family? Don't even think about having a top-tier battle skill, let alone a Xiantian battle skill."
Xu Xiangqian smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, this is also what I can't figure out."
Xu Xiangci's eyes suddenly focused, and he said, "Yude, ever since you guys were defeated at the hands of Hu Bin the last time, Big Brother already made an exception and imparted top-tier combat techniques to you guys. Could it be that the power of a top-tier combat skill is inferior to that of an ordinary combat skill? "
Xu Yude hurriedly bowed and said, "Second Uncle, He Yiming did not use any battle skills."
Xu Xiangci's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly asked, "How did you injure Yu Cai without using any battle skills?"
"He Yiming relied purely on his inner strength to injure Yucai." Xu Yude lowered his head. There was still a trace of shock in his eyes. The scene in the arena was unforgettable.
Xu Xiangqian's expression was extremely grave. He said slowly, "Second Brother, if he can injure Yu Cai to this extent without using any battle skills and with just inner strength, then the He family's young man's inner strength must have reached the peak of the seventh level."
"The peak of the seventh level." Xu Xiangci repeated hatefully and said, "He Yiming is only 14 years old this year, but he has already reached the peak of the seventh level. Is he even human?"
Xu Xiangqian was slightly stunned. He looked at his second brother in surprise and smiled bitterly. "Second Brother, you must be joking. He should be a genius that only appears once in a thousand years. That's why he can do this."
Xu Xiangci suddenly waved his hand and said regretfully, "A year ago, when I was chasing Hu Bin, I met him once. He was only at the sixth level back then, but in just a year, not only did he surpass the sixth level barrier, he even reached the peak of the seventh level. If I had known earlier, I would have killed him on the spot even if we were discovered. "
A hint of displeasure appeared on Xu Xiangqian's face as he said, "Second Brother, this is not a good idea. If the He Clan finds out, then our Xu Clan will really have no place in Taicang County."
Xu Xiangci scoffed angrily and said, "The He family is already flourishing with talents. If He Yiming is allowed to grow, I'm afraid that sooner or later, the entire Taicang County will belong to his family."
"That might not be the case." Xu Xiangqian smiled confidently and said, "Second Brother, as long as the Old Ancestor is alive, no matter how powerful the He family is, they won't dare to go against our Xu family. At most, we'll be suppressed by them for a few decades. I don't believe that the He family will always have such flourishing talents, and our Xu family will never be able to compare to them. "
Xu Xiangci thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Fourth Brother, you're still open-minded." He paused and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Fourth Brother, what do you say we beg the Old Ancestor?"
Xu Xiangqian glared at his second brother and said unhappily, "Second Brother, you're joking, right? If we beg the Old Ancestor for this matter, I'm afraid he'll break our legs. Besides … "He sighed and said," Unless it's a matter of life and death for the family, or if there's a descendant who can advance to the Xiantian Realm, let alone us, even if Father wants to ask to see the Old Ancestor, it's impossible. "
Xu Xiangci was like a deflated balloon, and his expression quickly dimmed.
Xu Xiangqian raised his head and looked in the direction of the He family. His eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Taicang County was not very big, and the news of the battle between the Xu and He family's third generation disciples had spread throughout the city in just one day.
In the Tian Luo Kingdom, where martial arts were prevalent, this was definitely the best topic of conversation. For a moment, the matter of the martial arts competition was the talk of the town, and everyone knew about it.
Especially the young He Yiming, who had sent the Xu family's second son, Yu Cai, flying with just one palm, which was even more amazing.
There were all kinds of guesses about him, and some people even suspected that his cultivation was not below the second generation masters of the three big families.
Of course, most of those who had such knowledge had never cultivated inner strength, or their inner strength was shallow. They only knew how to spread false rumors and jump to conclusions.
However, those who were truly successful in their cultivation would never believe such a thing.
This was because they all knew that the average cultivation of the second generation masters of the three big families was basically at the eighth level of inner strength. Even if He Yiming had inner strength at the peak of the seventh level, it was impossible for him to be on par with the second generation masters.
However, they did not know He Yiming's true strength, so they made the wrong guess.
However, no matter how people discussed it, He Yiming's reputation had spread far and wide. There was no one in the county who did not know about him, and it was quickly spreading to the surrounding areas. Soon, it would spread throughout the entire Taicang County.
Moreover, there was one thing that almost everyone recognized. That was He Yiming's strength. Among all the third generation disciples of the three great clans, he was already firmly seated at the top. Even He Yitian, who was originally at the top, was now inferior to him at this moment.
What was strange was that although the outside world was hyping this matter up, the three big families did not say anything. However, the three great clans maintained their silence at the same time. No one expressed their opinion on this matter.
He Yiming did not leave the house until three days later, when he followed the elders of the family to the Cheng family's birthday celebration.
※ ※ ※
The Cheng family was definitely the family with the most power in Taicang County.
Old Master Cheng was a famous cultivator in Taicang County. Although his inner strength cultivation was only at the ninth level, this did not affect the Cheng family's great prestige in Taicang County.
The Cheng family was a big family with more than a hundred years of history. There were a few people of the same generation as Old Master Cheng Ningsheng, and there were dozens of second generation disciples. They were like old vines coiled around the entire Taicang County and were deeply rooted. In addition, they held the position of Mayor, so no one dared to slight them.
Of course, although the Cheng family had a lot of people, they were far inferior to the other two families in terms of martial strength.
In the entire Cheng family, only Old Master Cheng Ningsheng's inner strength had reached the ninth level. Among the rest of the brothers and second generation disciples, the highest was only at the eighth level, and most of them had not even broken through to the sixth level.
Even so, when it was Old Master Cheng Ningsheng's 80th birthday celebration, there were many guests who came to congratulate him. In front of the Cheng mansion, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him. It was as if everyone in Taicang County had come.
When He Yiming followed a few elders to the front of the Cheng mansion, he was shocked by the lively scene in front of him.
During the battle a few days ago, there were already more than a thousand people crowded together, but compared to the scene in front of the Cheng mansion today, it was like a small child in the presence of a great sorcerer.
However, the people of the Cheng family were obviously prepared. They had arranged everything properly, and all the people who came to congratulate him were arranged in a certain order. Although the carriages in front of the He mansion were lined up to the third street, there was still no disturbance.
He Yiming secretly sighed in his heart. It was no wonder that they were an aristocratic family with more than a hundred years of history. They had too much experience in dealing with such situations. If it was the He Family Village, with so many people suddenly appearing, he was afraid that even if Old Master Cheng personally took action, it would have become a chaotic mess.
At this moment, the only thing in his heart was that martial arts cultivation and the ways of the world were two completely different things.
