Wang Zongde gritted his teeth and channeled his inner energy, finally catching up with Ye Feng with all his might, while Lu Hanjian had it much easier than him.

Not long after, the Liu family arrived.

Ye Feng and his two companions stormed directly into the Liu family compound and stood suspended in mid-air.

"Liu Dewang, get out here!"

With a sudden shout from the night wind, people rushed out from the inner courtyard.

Leading the group were Liu Weichen, the head of the Liu family, Liu Ziye, the eldest son of the Liu family, other members of the Liu family, and hundreds of Liu family guards.

And Liu Dewang was among them!

Seeing Ye Feng standing in the air, and Lu Hanjian standing respectfully beside him, Liu Dewang turned pale.

He knew that Lu Hanjian had definitely failed.

"Who are you, daring to trespass into my Liu family's home?" Liu Weichen asked coldly.

At the same time, a series of auras emanated from deep within the Liu family's inner quarters.

Those were all auras released by Liu's guest elders to intimidate Ye Feng.

But Ye Feng didn't take them seriously at all.

Looking coldly at the crowd below, Ye Feng said, "Liu Dewang hired someone to kill me, and now I've come to seek revenge. Is that not allowed?"

"What? Liu Dewang hired someone to kill you?"

Liu Weichen was taken aback and looked toward Liu Dewang in the crowd.

Liu Dewang immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling all over and tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Master, save me! I've done so much for the Liu family, worked so hard for decades, you can't just watch me get killed..." Liu Dewang cried out.

Liu Ziye said, "Father, even if Liu Dewang is wrong, we can't let him be killed. Otherwise, it will damage the reputation of our Liu family..."

Before Liu Ziye could finish speaking, Lu Hanjian coldly said, "Young Master Liu, is your family's reputation more important, or the lives of hundreds of people in your family? You'd better think it through."

"Lu Hanjian, is your Xinyou Hall getting involved too?" Liu Ziye said angrily.

“It’s not that we want to get involved, but Liu Dewang asked me to kill this Young Master Gong. However, Young Master Gong’s strength far surpasses mine, and he was magnanimous enough not to kill me. So, although I was defeated by Young Master Gong, I did not die. I still have the spirit stones that Liu Dewang gave me, as well as some gold and silver ornaments and refining materials used to convert them into spirit stones. These things can all serve as proof. Should I take them all out?” Lu Hanjian said without any politeness.

Liu Ziye's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Liu Weichen pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Feng and said, "Young Master Gong, it was indeed wrong of Liu Dewang to hire someone to kill you, and I apologize on his behalf. However, Liu Dewang was, after all, the steward of our Liu family, and we can't just let you kill him like this. I'm willing to compensate you..."

Before Liu Weichen could finish speaking, Ye Feng suddenly raised his hand and pointed!

Liu Dewang was violently shaken, and his head exploded, splashing bright red blood and milky white brain matter everywhere, covering Liu Ziye and Liu Weichen!

The Liu family members present were also frightened, and they all trembled and dared not breathe loudly.

"I hope our feud can end here."

After saying that, Ye Feng turned and left.

After Ye Feng left with Wang Zongde and Lu Hanjian, Liu Weichen shouted at the surrounding guards, "What are you all doing here? Come and clean up the bodies!"

"yes."

The guards nodded and hurried over to collect the body.

Back in the inner quarters, Liu Weichen sat down angrily and slammed his hand heavily on the table.

Liu Ziye followed in and said, "Father, are we just going to let this go like this? Even if Liu Dewang was in the wrong first, if that guy directly attacked our Liu family and killed Liu Dewang in front of us, wouldn't our family become a laughing stock in Crane King City? How would the other families and forces in Crane King City view us?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Liu Weichen said coldly.

"Kill that guy!" Liu Ziye said without hesitation.

After a pause, Liu Ziye continued, "That person was able to defeat Lu Hanjian, the leader of the four incense masters of Xinyou Hall. He is most likely at the Divine Travel Realm. However, our Liu family has three Divine Travel Realm guest elders and more than ten True Essence Realm guest elders. We are fully capable of killing him!"

Liu Weichen pondered for a moment and said, "No matter how important face is, it's not as important as the stability of our family. Although we can indeed kill that person by gathering the strength of those guest elders, the risk is too great, and we can't take that risk. Don't mention this matter again, and just pretend that Liu Dewang never existed."

After saying that, Liu Weichen waved his hand, signaling Liu Ziye to leave.

As Liu Ziye left Liu Weichen's room, he muttered to himself, "He's getting old, Father. He's really getting old. He's lost all his vigor!"

Just as he returned to his room, a woman dressed flamboyantly, but with red-rimmed eyes, ran in and pounced on Liu Ziye.

"Young Master, has my brother really been killed?"

The woman asked, her face streaked with tears, looking delicate and pitiful.

This woman, Liu Xiaoyue, was Liu Dewang's sister and Liu Ziye's seventh concubine.

Although she was only a concubine, Liu Ziye loved her very much because this woman was very skilled in bed and could always serve him comfortably.

Liu Ziye nodded and said, "Yes, your brother was murdered."

Liu Xiaoyue burst into tears, her face covered in sobs.

"Young Master, you must avenge my brother! As long as you kill that person and avenge my brother, I'll do anything you ask..."

Liu Ziye held Liu Xiaoyue tightly, making up his mind.

"Don't worry, I will definitely kill him to avenge your brother! But that guy is quite strong, I need to come up with a foolproof plan first," Liu Ziye said, his eyes flashing coldly.

Three days have passed.

The Taiyin Mystic Pearl has absorbed all the Yin energy from the spiritual vein.

The first Taiyin Mystic Pearl has been collected. The next step is to find a new spiritual vein containing earth yin energy.

There shouldn't be another spiritual vein containing earthly yin energy in this northern mine, so we'll have to search elsewhere.

Just as Ye Feng was quietly pondering, Wang Zongde strode in.

"Young Master Gong, Lu Hanjian has arrived."

"Bring him here," Ye Feng said.

"yes."

Wang Zongde immediately turned and left, and soon brought Lu Hanjian back.

After Lu Han entered, he first bowed respectfully to Ye Feng, then asked expectantly, "Young Master Gong, my cultivation technique..."

"Would Young Master Gong possibly keep your cultivation techniques a secret?" Wang Zongde said with a sneer.

Lu Hanjian immediately looked embarrassed, rubbing his hands and not knowing what to say.

Ye Feng took the sword-gu technique from his storage ring and handed it to Lu Hanjian, saying, "I've looked at your technique, and there's a big problem with it."
