Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 761: So What if There are Many Experts!

"Li Deming, do you really have to push our Nangong Family to a dead end?" Nangong He arrived at the entrance of the villa, seeing Li Deming leading the people of the Li Family before him, his heart was suddenly overwhelmed with a torrent of emotions. The four Prominent Families had coexisted for nearly a thousand years, always in a state of balance. Now that Li Deming has broken through, does he really have to swallow up the other three with military force, thinking that it’s better for the Li Family to dominate alone after the others vanish?

Yes, Li Deming is now the foremost person among the four Prominent Families, including himself no one is a match for Li Deming. But even so, that does not justify swallowing the other three. There’s no logic to it at all. Li Deming is very powerful now, but he’s not invincible in the world. Hasn’t Li Deming considered how the Old Monster in the Capital City could possibly let such an event occur? How could centuries-old Prominent Families be so easily shattered?

"Nangong He, it’s useless to talk about anything else. So what if I am indeed pushing your Nangong Clan to a dead end? Are you my opponent? If you’re not my opponent, then stop the pointless talk. Right now, I only care about the outcome for your Nangong Family—agree or not, just give me a straightforward answer."

Li Deming listened to Nangong He’s words with disdain. Now it was only the Nangong Family left among the four. Although the Nangong Family was the strongest among the other three and used to be comparable to the Li Family, he had broken through now. No one in the Nangong Family could match him. What’s wrong with using martial force to compel them? If you’re incapable, then stop making excuses!

The Li Family of today is not as it once was. Today is the day to swallow up the Nangong Family. As long as all of the Nangong Family’s resources are taken over, everything else will be easy. All previous arrangements could be fulfilled. Even then, the Li Family could soar once more, not just as a cultivation clan, but to become the top family of Huaxia! He, the helmsman of the Li Family, hoped even more that under his leadership, the Li Family would achieve unprecedented glory.

Since his breakthrough, Li Deming’s mentality had changed. For him, developing the Li Family into the number one family was his greatest wish. He couldn’t care less how the Nangong Family responded to today’s event. No matter what, they couldn’t escape being swallowed today. This day, he would conquer the Nangong Family with martial power and let everyone recognize what a true S-Class master was like. Let everyone bow at his feet.

"Nangong Ancestor, you see the situation today. All the elites of our Li Family have come. Besides our Ancestor of the Li Family, we have brought three S-Class masters and more than twenty AAA-Class masters. Under such power, the Nangong Family is no match for our Li Family. The wise know when to submit. As long as the Nangong Family agrees to serve the Li Family, and everything is under the dominion of the Li Family, we will ensure that the Nangong Family suffers no casualties. I believe the Nangong Ancestor knows what to do."

Li Litian followed behind Li Deming. After Li Deming finished speaking, he added that today all the elites of the Li Family were present. Faced with such absolute martial power, the Nangong Family, no matter how strong, could only submit obediently. Otherwise, the Nangong Family would not just face being swallowed; many of their elites would suffer today. If they could submit without a fight, it would be a perfect resolution, thereby preserving the elite forces of the Nangong Family, who could be mobilized in the future for any purpose.

Li Litian had a different perspective. He cared even more about conquering these elites of the Nangong Family. If he could recruit all of the Nangong elite, it would be a formidable force. If these Nangong elites were to be lost to casualties during the conquest, that would diminish future strength. This point was what Li Litian valued most. Although these people, once taken over, might not be truly controlled, if handled properly, deploying these strong fighters to handle peripheral affairs could wildly increase the wealth and development of the Li Family, and then the situation would be thoroughly favorable!

In that scenario, all the external masters of the Li Family could be called back to the villa to focus wholeheartedly on cultivation, while members of the other three Prominent Families, replacing their positions, wouldn’t have time or energy left for cultivation. Only through such attrition and growth could the strength of the other three families be thoroughly suppressed over time. A few decades would be enough. Li Litian firmly believed that, by that time, the Li Family would surely become the foremost clan in the Cultivation World, the only legendary Prominent Family!

Nangong He, give it up.

See? Our Li Family is so powerful!

It’s not just the Ancestor who is strong; we are all very powerful!

The other two families have already surrendered. Why is the Nangong Family still wasting words here?

I really don’t understand what the Nangong Family is thinking. Under the leadership of our Ancestor, how could the Nangong Family possibly be a match for the Li Family!

...

Similarly, the other elite members brought by the Li Family now all wore an undeniably arrogant demeanor. It’s no surprise they acted this way. The Ancestor of the Li Family had taken them to both the Yu Family and the Kong Family. As soon as the people from the Yu and Kong Families saw these absolute elites, they immediately gave up their original thoughts and willingly allowed themselves to be annexed by the Li Family. In their eyes, the current strength of the Li Family meant they could essentially do as they pleased within the Cultivation World, with no other force capable of contending with them. This was the power of strength, and under its weight, the Nangong Family would also submit!

"Mingyue, tell them how many elites our Nangong Family has!" Nangong He was already extremely angry upon hearing Li Deming’s words, and today’s posturing made it clear that Li Deming had come to forcibly annex the Nangong Family. After hearing Li Litian’s words, Nangong He grew even more furious. The title of one of the four Prominent Families wasn’t for show. Although the Nangong Family might not compare to the Li Family, their foundation was extraordinarily strong and not much weaker than the Li Family’s. If it really came down to a tough fight, they could bring about mutual destruction with the Li Family rather than let the Li Family get their way.

"Including the Old Ancestor, the Nangong Family has a total of six S-class masters and thirty-one AAA-class masters present!" Nangong Mingyue heard the command of the Old Ancestor, waved her hand, and out of the villa gates came forty-some people, who were none other than the absolute elite of the Nangong Family. This was the Nangong Family’s final trump card. The world knew the Nangong Family to have only three S-class masters, but that was not the case. They had another three S-class masters who had never shown their faces, dedicating themselves to deep cultivation in secret chambers, unknown to the public. This was the Nangong Family’s secret weapon.

Among the AAA-class masters were also ten people of exceptional talent, all of whom were in closed-door cultivation, hoping to breakthrough their bottlenecks and become S-class masters. The reason for this was a strategy arranged by the generations of Old Ancestors of the Nangong Family, fearful of extraordinary circumstances. They wanted to ensure the safety of the Nangong Family while hiding as much strength as possible, to deal with unforeseen emergencies.

Little did they expect that such tactics, passed down for hundreds of years, would really be needed today. With these forces revealing themselves, it wasn’t certain they could withstand the Li Family, but they had the capability to protect themselves in the short term. If it weren’t a critical moment, it would have been absolutely impossible to summon all these people.

"What! How... How is this possible?"

Li Litian was stunned as he watched these individuals emerge from the villa gates. The four Prominent Families all had spies in one another, and so the Li Family knew the Nangong Family inside out. The Nangong Family had never revealed such strength before, three S-class masters and twenty-one AAA-class masters; these were commonly known facts. Today, when he came with the Li Family’s elites without inviting the Kong and Yu Families, he never imagined facing such an unexpected turn of events.

Who could have imagined that the Nangong Clan would be so forbearing, concealing so many powerful experts? How... how could this be happening? How could they possibly have hidden so many strong warriors? Seeing such a scenario, Li Litian couldn’t suppress the shock within his heart any longer. If it weren’t for the Ancestor’s breakthrough, the Nangong Family’s strength would indeed be not much less than the Li Family’s. It seemed that today’s matter wouldn’t be as simple as he’d thought. If he had known this would happen, he would have called for the S-class experts from the Kong and Yu Families...

"What!"

"How can this be possible!"

"The Nangong Family has hidden so many experts?"

...

The elites of the Li Family also didn’t expect that what seemed like an assured victory would undergo such a significant change. The Nangong Family had hidden a third of their strength. With this, the situation was no longer the same; the Nangong Family now had more masters than the Li Family. If a forceful action was to be taken, it would likely lead to a fierce battle. What to do? Is it really necessary to take forceful action? That would definitely lead to heavy losses on both sides...

"What does it matter if you have more masters? As long as I defeat you, the rest aren’t a threat and you are the only one who can face me in battle. I have already surpassed you before, and now I have successfully broken through. You are no different from an ordinary person in my eyes, Nangong He. My words are the same: if the Nangong Family doesn’t submit to the Li Family, today I will still take action."

Li Deming, seeing the Li Family members’ shocked expressions, immediately roared in anger. He couldn’t possibly lose in momentum to the Nangong Family. Moreover, at his level, no one here was his match. He could confidently and quickly take down Nangong He and the many S-class masters of the Nangong Family. It wasn’t an issue of numbers; without someone as strong as him, the Nangong Family was destined to lose today!

"Fine, then I’ll see just how powerful you really are now!" Seeing that Li Deming was unwilling to let up even in this situation, Nangong He accepted that today’s matter could not be resolved peacefully. Since it had come to this, they had to stake it all. Even a clay figurine has a touch of anger, let alone him, the Ancestor of the Nangong Family, who was the guardian of the entire Nangong Family. If he could wound Li Deming in a desperate fight and weaken his strength, then there might still be hope in defeating Li Deming.
