Outside the Linhai Hotel, upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, the two doormen not only didn't get angry but showed mocking smiles, speaking with disdain.
"Smash the place?? Hahaha, young man, had a few drinks? If you're feeling bold, go somewhere quiet to cool off, don't come here to show off, you might lose your life."
"Exactly, haven't you even opened your eyes to see who's hosting the banquet tonight? The Shen family of Linhai! The number one family in Linhai, and you dare to come here to smash the place alone, are you tired of living?"
The two doormen sneered, their gazes filled with contempt as they looked at Li Xiaotian.
Daring to smash the place here was simply courting death!
One must know that the Shen family was the foremost family in Linhai, with immense power. Even during the great changes in heaven and earth, they were the overlords of Linhai City's underworld.
More importantly, after the great changes, the ancient force, the Luohai Sect, occupied Linhai, and the Shen family immediately pledged allegiance to the Luohai Sect, sending their young family disciples to study there.
Of course, if it were only this, the Shen family would at most be a dog raised by the Luohai Sect, without much authority.
But what was unexpected was that the young master of the Shen family, Shen Feiyu, turned out to be a martial arts prodigy. After joining the Luohai Sect, his cultivation speed soared, and he was eventually taken in as a personal disciple by the Sect Master.
From then on, the Shen family became the true rulers of Linhai City! They completely dominated it.
Even though Luohai had now submitted to Daqin, and Linhai City was taken over by Daqin, behind the scenes, all aspects of Linhai City still had to listen to the Shen family.
Therefore, Li Xiaotian's statement of wanting to smash the place was, in the doormen's eyes, equivalent to seeking death.
"Hurry up and leave, brother. You're lucky. We're just hotel doormen. If the Shen family had heard what you said earlier, you would have at least lost a leg by now."
One doorman reminded him kindly, then ignored Li Xiaotian and prepared to return with his companion to welcome incoming guests.
Li Xiaotian, however, remained unmoved. After a pause, he walked towards the hotel entrance.
Linhai! The Shen family! Hmph, if he hadn't been secretly patrolling Daqin's territory during this period, he wouldn't have known that such a small city like Linhai harbored a great crisis!
A crisis that, once it erupted, could cripple or even destroy Daqin!
Fortunately, he discovered it early, and it was still possible to rectify the situation.
"Stop! What's going on with you? Why haven't you left yet? Hurry up and go. Today is the Shen family elder's birthday, and the Shen family highly values this banquet. If the Shen family members find you, you won't be able to leave!"
The doorman who had kindly warned Li Xiaotian spoke again, his face showing impatience. He had made it so clear, yet this person still dared to stay? Did he want to die that badly?
"What's happening? Why the noise? Don't you know it's the master's happy day today? Can you bear the consequences if you upset the master and ruin his mood?"
Just then, a group of men in black suits walked out of the hotel. Leading them was a young man with a cigarette in his mouth, his brow raised as he reprimanded the doormen.
"Young Master Long, why have you come out?"
The doormen at the entrance immediately smiled as they saw the young man, bowing slightly to greet him.
"It's nothing, this person just came to the wrong place. We were just about to have him leave."
The kind-hearted doorman spoke first, while continuously signaling Li Xiaotian with his eyes, urging him to leave quickly.
But there were four doormen at the entrance. While he was kind and afraid Li Xiaotian would get into big trouble, others didn't think that way. They were thinking about how to curry favor with this Young Master Long.
Immediately, someone reported Li Xiaotian's earlier words to Young Master Long.
"Smash the place?! Heh!"
Shen Feilong's brow twitched upon hearing this. He looked down at Li Xiaotian with a cold glint in his eyes.
"You've got quite a lot of guts, aren't you afraid of death! Go and break both his legs. Who does he think he is, daring to come here and smash the place!"
As he finished speaking, two burly bodyguards emerged from behind Shen Feilong, grinning sinisterly, and strode towards Li Xiaotian.
"Take him to a secluded place and deal with him. Don't disturb the guests tonight."
Shen Feilong added, then looked at the doorman who had tried to cover for Li Xiaotian. After sizing him up, he slapped him directly and spoke.
"You dog, you dare to lie in front of me, Young Master? Are you looking for death?!"
"Young Master Long, I was wrong. Please forgive me, Young Master."
The doorman panicked instantly, his face turning pale.
"Wrong?! You expect me to forgive you with just one 'I was wrong'? Do I have such a good temper?"
Shen Feilong sneered. Just as he was about to slap the doorman again, he heard two screams.
"Bang! Bang!"
When Shen Feilong turned back to look, he saw a scene that shocked him.
His two bodyguards, whom he had sent to punish Li Xiaotian, were both lying on the ground, struggling in pain.
"Damn it! You scoundrel! You're looking for death!!!"
Shen Feilong was enraged upon seeing this. He hadn't expected this young man to fight back and injure his subordinates.
"All of you, go up and cripple him for me, make him kneel here and confess!"
With Shen Feilong's command, his bodyguards behind him rushed out, their faces filled with murderous intent as they lunged at Li Xiaotian.
"You blind fool, I originally intended to give you a chance to live and only have your legs broken, but who knew you were so ungrateful and even dared to fight back?! You truly don't want to live!" Shen Feilong said coldly, looking at Li Xiaotian as if he were already dead.
However, he was immediately stunned, his expression frozen.
He saw the group of bodyguards rush towards Li Xiaotian, but before they could even get close, they all stopped in their tracks. Then, as if kicked by someone, they all instantly fell to their knees.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
The muffled sounds were the collision of the bodyguards' knees with the ground. Their faces were flushed red, and they cried out in pain, their eyes filled with terror.
"A strong one!!! At least a King-level or above expert!!!"
The bodyguards thought to themselves. After the great changes, ordinary people's bodies had also been strengthened. For them, each of them possessed the combat power of a War God.
And they understood the power of martial artists. This person in front of them, without even making a move, had forced them all to their knees, meaning his strength was at least King-level!
Shen Feilong stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
The doormen who had previously shown goodwill to Li Xiaotian gaped in astonishment, their eyes filled with shock.
Li Xiaotian calmly walked forward, stood before Shen Feilong, and then spoke in a flat tone.
"You just said you wanted to break me? And make me confess here?"
Shen Feilong snapped back to reality. His face initially showed panic, but then, as if remembering something, he became furious and shouted at Li Xiaotian.
"Presumptuous!!! Do you have any idea who I am? You dare to make them kneel, you are provoking my Shen family! Don't think you can threaten me just because you know some cultivation, you are playing with fire! You are enraging a terrifying family!!!"
