Mysterious Invitation Episode 76

  After Yuanshen returned to the room, it was already past midnight. Li Yan couldn't help but furrow his brow as he clearly sensed that there were several people silently guarding the corridor outside the ward, facing him, yet without any intention of forcing their way in.

  But he soon came to his senses, realizing that his primordial spirit had wandered out and obscured his physical body. Beings below the level of a scattered immortal couldn't detect his presence, which is why these people couldn't find him and would linger here, their purpose unfulfilled, yet reluctant to leave.

  "Heh heh" with a smile, Li Yan immediately got up from bed. No matter who these people were, since they came looking for him, he couldn't just ignore them. With his abilities, even if it was the old Daoist Li Lingfeng or the Golden Peng Demon King, both of whom were loose immortals of the strong type, he wasn't afraid in the slightest. Let alone these ordinary people.

  The door to the ward was opened, and a total of seven people entered. Six of them were robust in build, wearing black suits, looking like gangsters with expressionless faces. The leader, however, was a slender young man with an air of superiority, his face clearly showing impatience.

  "What? How did he end up in the hospital room? Old Six, how did you gather this intel!" As soon as they saw the door to the hospital room open and Li Yan walk out from inside, one of the six big men couldn't help but let out a complaint.

  At this moment, the old six was also unable to hold back a burst of astonishment. When he came earlier, he had clearly seen that there were only two people in the ward: an unconscious patient and a young nurse. There was no third person. He was a scout by origin, although he had retired for a long time, but his eyesight hadn't declined to the point where he couldn't see a big living person. Yet now, Li Yan just walked out of the ward, which made him astonished.

  The moment he saw these seven people, a flash of sharp light flickered in Li Yan's eyes, but it was immediately hidden deep within his pupils. He didn't actually want to take action against these ordinary people, but if they were foolish enough to deliver themselves to him, he wouldn't mind taking a few lives either.

  He casually closed the door of the ward, and Li Yan immediately shifted his gaze to the young man who was in charge. This guy seemed to have some skills under his hands, but unfortunately, he had only barely reached the peak of an ordinary person, and even if he was at a distance from the lowest level of martial artist, there was still a significant gap.

  As soon as the young man saw Li Yan, he shifted his feet and came forward to say: "Are you Mr. Li Yan? I am Wang Chun, our lady has some matters she would like to discuss with Mr. Li, please follow us."

  Upon hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but furrow his brow, and responded in a flat tone, "Who is your wife, and why is she looking for me... now?"

  As for Wang Chun's tone, Li Yan felt very displeased. Although the other party used a "please" in their words, it was actually a commanding tone from start to finish. They directly told Li Yan and them to leave without asking for his opinion, nor did they explain who the lady of their house was or why they would invite Li Yan so late at night. It was as if Li Yan were their subordinate. How could someone with Li Daosanxian's status, position, and temperament be pleased after hearing this?

  "Hmph! Who the lady of our house is, it's not convenient for us to reveal. You'll go and naturally know," Wang Chun heard this and couldn't help but let out a cold hum in his mouth, proudly saying: "As for whether it's now or not, nonsense. If it wasn't now, do you think we would wait here for one or two hours?"

  Li Yan's eyebrows flickered with a hint of annoyance, and the resentment in Wang Chun's words seemed to be quite strong. However, after all, they were just small fries, so he didn't take it too seriously. He simply responded calmly, "Oh? Is that so? What a pity, I've troubled you all to wait for so long here. To say the truth, it's my fault. Unfortunately, I'm a straightforward person and don't like to go out with strangers."

  Wang Chun heard this, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Li Yan's arm, saying viciously: "You little brat, stop spouting nonsense! No matter what, you're coming with us today!"

  Li Yan didn't expect that in a public place like the hospital, Wang Chun would still dare to be so presumptuous. Although he wasn't willing to get involved in worldly matters, he had already developed a strong dislike for someone like Wang Chun. He subtly shifted his foot backwards and directly pushed away Wang Chun's hand, saying indifferently: "Sorry, it's late at night and I don't want to run around with a group of strangers. Please go back, everyone. If your wife really needs something from me, she can talk to me tomorrow during the day."

  He's not someone who speaks nicely, this sentence has already been said as a last warning and farewell. If the other party still doesn't let go, then Li Yan won't mind using force to solve this matter. Since his conversation with Jin Peng Yao Wang, he has confirmed that his strength here is perhaps not invincible, but it's definitely among the top masters, qualified to fight against him are probably only the highest levels of the three major alliances and the top-level existences of various foreign cultivation factions.

  As for the others, sorry to say, in the cultivation world, it has always been the strong who are revered. Since Li Yan is a top-notch strongman, he naturally wouldn't consider ordinary people as opponents worthy of his attention. Otherwise, wouldn't that tarnish his reputation as the Great Scatterer Immortal? Of course, not putting them in his sights doesn't mean he won't take action.

  "You stinky brat, you're doing this, aren't you? You don't want to drink the wine of respect, but you want to drink the wine of punishment!" Perhaps because he was used to being high and mighty, Wang Chun couldn't think that his opponent would dare to refuse his invitation. At this moment, a hint of anger flashed across his face, and he coldly shouted, "In Longtan City, there are only a few who dare to refuse our lady's invitation! You little brat, have you eaten the heart of a leopard? Hmph! If you know what's good for you, just follow me honestly. If you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for breaking your legs first and having someone carry you away!"

  "An invitation? Haha... How did you manage to open my eyes, are you usually this kind of person when inviting guests?" As Li Yan spoke, a cold aura flowed around him. Although his mother was ill and he didn't want to stir up trouble, if someone tried to bully him, Li Da San Xian had never been one to back down. With that, he let out a cold snort and said: "I'm really sorry, I've never been very good at recognizing what's appropriate. If you want to break my legs, then just come on and do it."

  "Who?!" Upon hearing this, Wang Chun couldn't help but burst into a rage. However, his wife had only asked him to invite someone over and hadn't given him permission to take action, so he didn't dare actually break Li Yan's legs. Nevertheless, it wasn't in his nature to not teach the other party a lesson, so with a cold laugh, he said: "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" As he spoke, his body shook and his fist flew out like a bow, striking straight at Li Yan's face with a loud whooshing sound.

  This Wang Chun is not an ordinary person, not only tall and strong, but also a true practitioner of martial arts, although he has not yet developed internal energy to become a true warrior. However, among ordinary people, he is already quite formidable. This punch was not only powerful and fierce, but his other hand was also guarding his chest, waiting for Li Yan's reaction, ready to launch an even stronger attack or defense.

  Li Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of disdainful smile flashed across his face. Although this flesh body had just begun to undergo the great tribulation, it had already transcended the level of innate martial artists and reached the realm of liquefaction. If he were facing a true martial arts master, he might be somewhat insufficient, but against such a mediocre opponent, even using only a fraction of his strength would be enough.

  In the blink of an eye, as Wang Chun threw his punch, Li Yan had already judged the trajectory of his attack. Instead of dodging or evading, he raised his hand and countered with a punch, directly meeting the incoming blow head-on.

  At the sight, Wang Chun couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. He had spent over a decade honing his skills in this fist, and with one punch, he could shatter bricks. For an ordinary person to exchange blows with him would be like hitting an egg against a rock. Thus, in an instant, he accelerated his speed, and his fist whizzed through the air, colliding with Li Yan's fist.
