The Shan family's first elder flew up to the roof and shouted, "Who are you? Who told you to come and frame the Shan Family?"
He wanted to blur the focus of the crowd and confuse them. He stretched out his hand, and a water pillar shot out. It quickly turned into a water dragon and headed straight for Shi Letong.
These water columns were not for bathing. They were rapid enough to kill people. Churning water was strong enough to cut through flesh.
"This first elder of the Shan family is too ruthless. He wants to take the young man's life with a single move. That's the signature spell of the Shan Family."
"The young man deliberately came to provoke the Shan Family. Naturally, the first elder has to go for the kill!"
"The Shan family is really ruthless. Then again, their ancestor was called the Great Demon King. As a descendant of the Shan family, they must have inherited the evil character of their ancestor."
"By the way, who exactly is this young man?" Someone asked doubtfully, "He keeps saying that he is here to avenge his mother, but who exactly is his mother? What is her relationship with the Shan family?"
At this moment, someone beside him lowered his head and whispered to him, "Didn't the eldest young master of the Shan family marry a common girl 14 years ago? Later, the girl hooked up with a random man and ran away with Shan Lingfei's child. Based on this youth's age, I believe he's that child."
"Hmm? But that's unconfirmed yet. Wasn't there a rumor that the girl ran away because she was carrying another man's child?"
"Wait. The child isn't Shan Lingfei's at all?"
"That's right! I heard that this matter has heavily impacted Shan Lingfei. He didn't practice anymore and turned to alcohol. Even more unbelievable was the fact that Shan Lingfei started to like men after that! He was kicked out because he flirted with eldest young master Leng, so the latter crippled Shan Lingfei's spirit root."
"Really?" The crowd was surprised.
"But I heard a different version. I heard that Shan Lingfei's wife was framed by the Shan family. After Shan Lingfei learned the truth, he set up a trap. He pretended to destroy his spirit root so that he'd be kicked out of the Shan family. His real purpose was to find his missing wife and child."
"If that's true, the Shan family is really too despicable! Then again, every big family has its own scandals and filth.
"You really can't trust a family's reputation these days. Probably the Shan family did do those horrible things."
...
"You old fart, you actually used a strong water spirit spell on a child like me. You're really too shameless!" When Shi Letong saw the water dragon, he hurriedly dodged and fled. As he fled, he cursed loudly, "Shameless old fart, I'm going to show you what I can do too. Otherwise, people will think I'm afraid of you!"
He channeled a spell. "Water spirit spell!" Then, a water dragon more imposing than the first elder's raged from behind the youth.
"Huh? This young man knows the water spirit technique!"
Both the Shan Family people and the crowd were shocked. The water spirit technique was unique to the Shan family. Only members of the Shan Family would know about it. If they were not members of the Shan Family, even if they possessed the water spirit root, without the technique, the spirit root was equal to trash. Therefore, to master this technique, those with water spirit roots had to join the Shan family and work hard for the Shan family.
This was common in this world. Every large family and sect had exclusivity on certain schools of techniques and spells. If one wanted to learn them, one had to join a sect or clan.
However, this youth could easily cast the water spirit spell.
"Look!"
"Oh my God, the young man's water dragon seems to be swallowing the Shan family's first elder's water dragon!"
"How... How is this possible? How old is this young man? He looks like he's only a teenager. How can he have the ability to swallow the water dragon of an aurous core cultivator? This is too unbelievable!"
"This means that the young man's cultivation level is higher than the first elder!"
"How is this possible?"
"Look. The young man's water dragon devoured the first elder's water dragon, and it's still heading for the first elder. Does the youth want to kill the first elder?"
"How is that possible? The Shan family's great elder is at the peak of the aurous core stage. How could he be killed by a child?"
"Yes. The child might know the water spirit spell, but it doesn't mean he can kill the first elder of the Shan family."
Before these people could finish their words, Shi Letong shouted, "I'll return your spell to you. Enjoy it!" The water dragon surrounded the first elder and it bound tighter and tighter.
The first elder of the Shan family shouted angrily, "Bastard, how dare you!"
When he said this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead because he was simply unable to break free from the water dragon.
What did this mean?
It meant that the youth's cultivation level was higher than his!
This was too terrifying.
If this youth was really the vile spawn in Shi Xiaohe's stomach, then how old was he? Thirteen or fourteen.
He was only 13 or 14 but he was already at the peak of the aurous core stage. It was impossible to even think about it.
But the first elder really couldn't break free from the water dragon.
Shi Letong smiled and said, "Old Bastard, why wouldn't I dare? If you have the ability, then get rid of this water dragon. If you can't, then you're going to experience the taste of drowning. But don't worry. I won't let you die easily. I still want to have more fun!"
The hair of the people in the crowd stood on ends and waves of chills ran down their spines.
This youth was really too terrifying!
The two elders were trapped by Shi Letong's water dragon.
The water dragons bound around them like ropes, but for the time being, the dragons didn't attack. No one knew what the youth was up to.
Shi Letong held a whip and said arrogantly, "Hmph, who else wants to come up and taste the feeling of being trapped by a Water Dragon!"
The first elder was trapped. The other six elders had a lower cultivation level than the first elder. They did not dare to make any reckless moves. They also did not dare to look down on this youth anymore.
The Shan family was shocked by Shi Letong's talent.
He was able to cast the water spirit technique, and he was the bitch, Shi Xiaohe's vile spawn. He was part of the Shan Family.
They were now faintly regretful.
If they had known earlier that this child's talent was so good, they would have kept him back then. If they nurtured him well, he would be better than Shan Lingfei!
The third elder thought for a moment before standing up and speaking very politely, "Child, this is a misunderstanding. We are all one family. We shouldn't be talking about fighting and killing.
"Child, as long as you're willing to return to the Shan family, the Shan family will agree to any request you make, okay?
"You'll return as the most honorable young master of the Shan family, and you'll even be the heir of the Shan family in the future."
Shi Letong tilted his head, crossed his arms with one hand, and rested his chin on the other hand. He seemed to be thinking.
The Shan family members secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This offer seemed to be able to move him.
That was good.
Once the boy entered the Shan family, they could easily control him.
After a moment, Shi Letong said in disdain and anger,
"Misunderstanding? Back then, you bullied my mother, locked her up in the courtyard, and eventually killed my mother. Now, you're telling me that all of this is a misunderstanding?
"Do you have any shame? Don't think that I'm easy to fool just because I'm a child! You bunch of old farts!"
The Shan family, especially the elders, were so angry that their faces turned red and white. They were exceptionally ugly.
The Shan family's second elder had a fiery temper. He pointed angrily at Xiao Tong and cursed loudly, "You vile spawn, I wish that we had kicked you to death when you were in that bitch's stomach. Then, you wouldn't be here to disrespect us!"
Shi Letong placed his hands on his hips and immediately shouted angrily, "Didn't you people do something similar? When I was still in my mother's stomach, you forced her to drink a bowl of abortion medicine. You did want to kill me.
"If not for my mother and my luck, I would be dead already. So I'm here to avenge my mother and me!"
He was furious!
