Marvel Superheroes in China

Qin Wu remained calm, simply sipping his tea and chatting with Governor Niu.

"master."

Li Qiushui urged, "If this continues, won't we become a laughing stock?"

Qin Wu chuckled: "Qiu Shui, that's how it is among martial artists. People give us prestige and support. But that's useless. In the martial arts world, reputation isn't given by anyone. It's earned through your own battles."

"These people aren't giving us any face, should we..."

Qin Wu's face turned cold: "If they won't give us face, then we'll beat them until they do!"

After saying that, Qin Wu stood up and said coldly, "Get out and announce the end of the opening ceremony. Everyone go home and find your mothers. My Xingyi Sect is about to officially begin training disciples. Get them all out of here within half an hour."

"what?"

Li Qiushui was speechless.

Governor Niu choked on his tea and coughed, then stood up abruptly, staring at Qin Wu in disbelief.

This...that's it?

Those guests had barely sat down and hadn't even eaten a few bites when they were suddenly told it was over?

Are you... are you trying to kick us out?

This is tantamount to slapping everyone in the face! Slapping the faces of every martial arts sect and family in the entire Southwest Province!

Chapter 53: Confrontation

Five minutes later.

The disciples from various sects, who were sitting in the front courtyard drinking and eating meat, suddenly turned their heads.

Then a person emerged from the inner courtyard, dressed in a long robe and carrying a long sword.

As soon as he stepped out, most of the men's breathing quickened. He was beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. His allure was beyond description.

Li Qiushui looked at them, and they looked at Li Qiushui, a hint of mockery gradually appearing in their eyes.

"Hehe, let's see how Xingyi School can save face this time."

"Which sect in the entire Southwest region hasn't gone through hundreds of years of inheritance to get where it is? How can we allow the Xingyi Sect to act so presumptuously?"

"The situation in the Southwest has stabilized, and resources are limited each year. Now, a new sect has suddenly emerged. How can we tolerate this? Wouldn't they be trying to take away our resources?"

"Hehe, today is destined to make Xingyi School lose face."

"The entire Southwest region's seventy-four sects are united against Xingyi Sect. This time, Xingyi Sect is going to suffer in silence."

"It doesn't matter if we suffer a loss, haha, it's obvious that someone is praising Xingyi School. But we'll be hypocritical and make them lose face. The higher they're praised, the harder they'll fall. We'll make them have no face to live in the Southwest, and no one will give them any face."

"There isn't a single person in the Xingyi School who can fight."

"But if we don't give them face like this, won't that be..."

"No, we can't afford to offend the powerful figures behind us. It's just that Xingyi Sect is weak and incompetent, haha. Besides, the law doesn't punish the masses. With so many sects united, who dares to do anything to us?"

"..."

Some people felt that this was going too far, but most people agreed with it.

Xingyi School? Nobody really takes it seriously.

Li Qiushui coldly swept her gaze across the crowd and loudly proclaimed, "The Xingyi Sect's opening ceremony is now over. My master said that the Xingyi Sect will begin formally instructing its disciples in half an hour. All irrelevant personnel are requested to leave the mountain within half an hour, return to their homes, and find their mothers. No one is allowed to linger on Chunshan Mountain. Anyone who exceeds this time limit will be treated as having sought out the sect's secret techniques and will be executed without exception!"

"..."

Quiet.

silence.

The entire Chunshan Mountain fell into an endless silence.

Everyone stared at Li Qiushui in disbelief.

What? Say it again?

Are you trying to kick people out? So many sects, seventy-four sects have come, and you're going to offend every single sect and force in the entire Southwest Province at once?

You have some nerve.

'Huahuahua'

At this moment, all the ordinary people who had come to participate in the ceremony, who were not martial artists, stood up and left without saying a word.

No ordinary person would dare to risk their life. Everyone could see that Xingyi School was targeting everyone. Among martial artists, a disagreement could easily escalate into a bloodbath; if an ordinary person got involved, being crushed to pieces would be the least of their worries.

In the blink of an eye, only disciples from seventy-four sects remained standing there, unsure whether to leave or not.

At this moment, the eldest disciple of the Qian family in Chang'an suddenly stood up and shouted coldly:

"What does Xingyi Sect mean by this? Are they trying to kick us out? It was supposed to be the opening ceremony, so why isn't your sect leader Qin Wu showing up? The opening ceremony should at least be a little more formal, and have your sect leader come out and speak."

With a 'whoosh,' the longsword was drawn.

Li Qiushui pointed her sword at the Qian family disciple, her voice icy cold: "You think you're worthy to see my master?"

With a loud 'buzz,' the entire Chunshan erupted in chaos, and everyone was stunned.

Instantly, the sounds of various weapons being drawn filled the air.

All the warriors drew their weapons.

There were bursts of exclamations.

The eight hundred people who had just joined Xingyi Sect were immediately terrified and retreated continuously. Everyone knew that... Xingyi Sect was about to offend someone.

Once, he offended seventy-four sects!

Seventy-four sects!

Moreover, a fight is about to break out here. Among martial artists, a single disagreement can lead to bloodshed.

Thinking of this, most of the eight hundred disciples who had not yet formally become apprentices looked uneasy for a moment, and then secretly slipped away. They dared not linger, dared not stay any longer.

That's terrifying;

The Xingyi School, barely established, is already trying to offend all seventy-four other schools in the southwest. Just how powerful are they?

Do they have that ability?

In an instant, five hundred of the eight hundred disciples were gone...

The remaining 280 people, however, all had resolute expressions.

Wang Sicong stood behind Li Qiushui, glaring angrily at the disciples of the seventy-four sects as a disciple of Xingyi Sect.

He was fearless.

Or rather, they don't want to be afraid.

Before I came here, my father told me a sentence: "A warrior must fight for it!"

Whether we win or lose, we must fight. Whether it's to save face, to save dignity, or to gain profit, we must fight!

At this moment, having entered the Xingyi School, as if fulfilling a vow, one is born a member of the Xingyi School, and will die a member of its spirit. So let us remain steadfast!

At the same time, many young disciples, their blood boiling with patriotism, grabbed whatever they could find and stood behind Li Qiushui. They knew they couldn't win, but even if they couldn't, they had to show their stance and stand there!

Even in death, I will stand here like a flagpole!

Of course, only a minority dared to stand behind Li Qiushui and confront the seventy-four families. Nearly two hundred others dared not come forward, nor did they leave…

Meanwhile, in the inner courtyard, Qin Wu lay on a rocking chair, smiling as he looked out the window at the scene outside, and murmured:

"Sister, keep all the people standing behind Li Qiushui. The Xingyi Sect will take them in. The rest can be dismissed."

"understood."

"...".

Chapter 54: How Arrogant!

Meanwhile, in the front yard.

The disciple of the Qian family in Chang'an took out his nine-ringed broadsword and chuckled, "Little wench. Did you think before you said that? Did you get your master's permission before you dared to make enemies for him everywhere?"

Li Qiushui's face darkened. What he hated most was being called effeminate...

Li Qiushui stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

The Qian family disciple laughed again, "Could it be that your master really intends to offend all the sects in the Southwest? Do you think we're all made of clay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Zhao family disciple stood up and said coldly:

"Call your master out. No matter what, you have to call out the person in charge of your sect to speak to us in front of us. Call out your sect leader. I don't believe you really dare to offend so many of us!"

Li Qiushui remained silent.

A member of the Qian family stepped forward, his broadsword dragging on the ground with a clanging sound. As he drew closer, his momentum grew stronger.

Wang Sicong and the others standing behind Li Qiushui turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. But since they had chosen to stand beneath the gates of Xingyi Sect, they had to hold on and not retreat a single step under any circumstances.

"what!"
