Old Man Mi smiled slightly, but his face, which looked like dried orange peel, was particularly eerie when he smiled: "Steward Hong has a good memory. He can even remember a nobody like me in this manor."

Zu An glanced at Chu Tiesheng, who was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open in death, and couldn't help but swallow hard. He had seen Chu Tiesheng's cultivation level before, and if he were to face him, he probably wouldn't be a match for him.

As a result, this sixth-rank expert was actually killed by Old Man Mi with just one finger.

If I were to face him, wouldn't Old Man Mi be able to kill me with just one look?

Hong Zhong tensed up, staring intently at the old man before him: "I never imagined that both Lord Mingyue and I had misjudged the situation, that we were unaware that our mansion was hiding such a master..."

He was speaking when he suddenly moved.

Clearly, he intended to distract Old Man Mi with words and then launch a sneak attack.

It must be said that honest people, once they turn evil, can be more insidious and cunning than ordinary bad people.

"Watch out!" Zu'an hurriedly warned, only to find that Old Man Mi was still standing in the same spot.

At that moment, his thin body seemed to grow taller instantly.

Look at them!

When will I be able to act so pretentious?

Hong Zhong also noticed that Old Man Mi hadn't moved, and he hesitated for a moment. But then he thought that even if the other party's cultivation was higher than his, such arrogance would definitely cost him dearly.

Having cultivated to the seventh rank, he was once considered a genius by those around him, possessing both talent and temperament. Therefore, in a split second, he made the best judgment: to seize this opportunity to fight to the death and, ideally, severely injure his opponent upon arrival.

"Heart-Shattering Fist!"

He roared, and a wisp of light appeared on the surface of his fist. Unlike the punch he threw at Qin Wanru, which turned into a phantom, this punch was a real fist that rapidly expanded. This was because he used all his cultivation power in this punch, with an indomitable spirit, without holding back at all.

Even Zu'an, standing to the side, couldn't help but take several steps back. Even from the side, the powerful force of the opponent's punch made it difficult for him to stand and breathe. He had no idea what kind of pressure the old man Mi was facing.

The powerful punch hurtled toward the thin, hunched old man, as if it would tear him to shreds in the next second.

However, in the blink of an eye, the turbulent atmosphere in the room suddenly quieted down.

Old Man Mi casually raised his left hand and grasped Hong Zhong's fist in his palm.

Hong Zhong's fist, which had just grown to the size of a boulder, had returned to its normal size. He tried his best to pull his fist back, but it wouldn't budge.

His face was flushed red, and his usually meticulously combed slicked-back hair was now somewhat disheveled, making him look utterly disheveled.

"Your cultivation level is already considered quite good in Bright Moon City, but unfortunately, it's nothing compared to the rest of the world." As soon as Old Man Mi finished speaking, he folded his hand upwards.

With a crisp crack, Hong Zhong's wrist was broken, and his fist was twisted in an awkward position.

Zuan gasped, "It looks so damn painful!"

Hong Zhong let out an extremely shrill scream. Old Man Mi frowned, suddenly stretched out his finger, and pointed it directly at Hong Zhong's forehead. Hong Zhong's scream stopped abruptly, his eyes lost their light, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Old Man Mi wiped his fingers and glanced at Zu An indifferently: "It's been resolved. The rest is up to you."

Zu An was still in a daze. You should know that he and Qin Wanru had been worried about this situation before, and they had tried many methods but were not confident that they could quell the rebellion.

As a result, Old Man Mi casually came over and killed the two culprits with just two fingers.

What they considered a difficult task was resolved so easily.

I knew before that this was a cultivation world where strength was paramount, but since I had transmigrated from a civilized world, I hadn't really adapted yet.

It wasn't until this moment that he was completely shocked and realized what strength meant in this world.

Old Man Mi quickly regained his previous shaky, hunched posture and disappeared into the night.

Zu An finally came to his senses, and by then the guards in the mansion had already rushed over upon hearing the news.

Zu An simply carried the corpses of Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng out. Facing the crowd who had drawn their swords and pointed them at him, he said in a deep voice, "Chu Tiesheng colluded with Hong Zhong to commit treason and intended to be disrespectful to the Madam. Now the ringleader has been executed, and the rest have all been deceived and coerced by the traitors. I have received the Madam's instructions to handle this matter entirely. Those who lay down their weapons and surrender now will be forgiven."

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law~" A petite figure ran out crying and threw herself into his arms.

Originally, Chu Huanzhao was confined to her room and could not come out. However, when this incident occurred, many guards rushed over. The guards who were guarding outside her room also ran over, after all, Chu Tiesheng and Hong Zhong were related to their future.

Chu Huanzhao was about to run away when she heard Zu An's voice. The events of the night had filled her with extreme fear and panic, but she had to pretend to be strong. Now that she saw Zu An, she could no longer hold back.

The guards around them looked at each other in bewilderment. A large portion of them were loyal to the main branch of the family, but since there was no one left in the main branch, they could only go with the flow. Now that Zu An had appeared, and the Second Miss was also there, and was still so close to Zu An, most of the previous rumors were probably false. So, they subconsciously believed Zu An's words.

The other group of guards were trusted confidants whom Chu Tiesheng and Hong Zhong had bribed over the years. Although they were willing to rebel, they instantly lost their backbone when they saw that Chu Tiesheng and Hong Zhong were dead.
