Chapter 2340: Either the Protagonist or the Villain
People with this kind of fate were either the protagonist or the villain.
If they were the protagonist, this background was meant to strengthen their heart. If they were the villain, these kinds of things would surely be enough to twist their mind.
His whole family was gone. What a tough life.
These people talked specifically to poke at Yi Liang’s sore spots. Considering that he was just a young boy, it was already impressive that he was able to endure until now.
“You have until the end of the day to get the hell out of here. This house occupies such a good position, so it’ll be used for business.”
“This is my house. What right do you have to make me move out?” Yi Liang raised his chin and said stubbornly. His body was tense, and it was also trembling as he clenched his fists.
“Do you think that this can be your house just because you say so? Your family just temporarily lived here back then. I never thought that you’d be so shameless and think of it as your own house.”
“This is my house, get out of here!” Yi Liang shouted, pushing those people out of the door.
“Yi Liang, you’ve surely grown some guts. Don’t forget, my great-grandfather is a foundation stage cultivator. If you dare to touch even a single hair on my body, my great-grandfather can make your soul fly away with a single finger.
“My great-grandfather is also in charge of this town. Before you do anything, you should first think about the consequences,” the leading man said triumphantly.
The man was less than twenty years old, and he looked domineering.
Although the foundation stage was only the entry point for cultivation, it already placed its attainers on a level different from ordinary people.
Foundation stage cultivators would already be called immortals by ordinary people since their lifespan was longer than that of the ordinary.
Moreover, there were very few people who could cultivate. Only one in about a hundred thousand people might have a spiritual root.
Yi Liang thought of the great-grandfather that man mentioned and clenched his fists tightly. He endured it, but he was also unwilling to step back. They were thus in a stalemate.
Not only did this world have many sects, but it also had an imperial family. Rumors said that the imperial family had a powerful figure who was in the soul formation stage.
These powerful cultivators were like the nuclear weapons of the imperial family. The country used them to intimidate and deter other countries from attacking.
Indeed, every place was ruled by cultivators with high cultivation levels.
The imperial family allowed the cultivators to rule places because they were afraid of other, troublemaking cultivators.
This town in particular was managed by this man’s great-grandfather.
Hearing his words in the room, Ning Shu couldn’t help but frown.
This was a cruel world. A person would only have the right to speak if they were powerful. This was obviously Yi Liang’s house, and these people were trying to snatch it.
Murders were also commonplace among the cultivators trying to snatch all kinds of cultivation resources from each other.
This was just a remote town, and the situation was already this bad. One could imagine the situation in a more prosperous place, where there’d be more powerful cultivators.
Ning Shu jumped out of the bed, out of the window, and into the kitchen in the flash.
“Brother, I think I just saw something flash past?” a man next to the leading man quickly said to him.
“What’s there?”
The man rubbed his eyes, thinking that he must be dazzled.
“Yi Liang, don’t blame me for not giving you some face. For better or for worse, we are family. When are you moving out?” Yi Xue stretched out his finger and poked Yi Liang’s chest, forcing him to take a couple of steps back.
Yi Liang looked at Yi Xue stubbornly. “I’m not selling the house. This is my house, and I’m going to wait for my parents to come back.”
“Sell? Who said anything about buying? I’m telling you to move out now. This house belongs to the clan. Who do you think you can sell it to? Get out now, or you’ll see how rude I can be to you.” Yi Xue sneered.
“Yi Xue, are you really going to be this cruel?” Yi Liang clenched his fists tightly.
“Cruel? You really have no clue about what’s going on right now, do you? The clan had allowed your family to live in this house, and now you’re taking it for yourself. Do you have any sense of shame? Have you no shame?” Yi Xue patted Yi Liang’s face roughly as he spoke, making harsh and loud slapping sounds.
Yi Xue was deliberately humiliating him.
Yi Liang’s face was ashen. His eyes were fixed on Yi Xue.
