Nominally servants, but in reality soldiers, they showed no fear or hesitation. When facing the strong, they only used swords and blades, and even their breathing was the same, like a cold, dark wind.

The people surrounding the sedan chair pretended not to see it and continued doing their business, but they began to leave enough space for a fight to avoid being accidentally injured.

The two clamoring martial artists, upon seeing the injured guard, began to boo. The martial artist surnamed Mu, who had been shouting at the two Mighty Bull Demon Sect members, also started to grumble, because if he continued to shout, he might actually get stabbed.

"Good tactic."

The guard with the bull-head mask wiped the wounds on his body, and the shallow wounds healed instantly, along with the layer of armor.

He appeared calm but was actually shocked, because the armor could withstand the attacks of a fifth-level martial artist, but it broke in one move. This guy really wanted to kill!

“Good armor, but it’s a pity the person wearing it is not good. Also, no matter if you are from Huai’an, Chuzhou, you will not be able to enter this gate today.”

"Unless you kill me! I, Feng Tianyu, will not let anyone who insults Master Dao get away with it!"

Feng Tianyu activated the Gu worms in his Void Aperture, amplifying the power of his martial arts moves. This was his Wind-based killing move, "Riding the Wind," which greatly enhanced the destructive power of wind-based attacks.

As for other killer moves, there are naturally others. The dual paths of Gu and Wu are not completely conflicting in the early stages. Meridians and acupoints can be superimposed on each other, resulting in a double boost.

"It is only natural for a family to separate from the main family. Those outsiders are nothing but usurpers. You have talent, why should you submit to such a good-for-nothing? Why not follow my young master? He has rare treasures, dragon and tiger medicines, and with the guidance of the Marquis of Wu, you can then hope to become the Marquis of Wu and take on great responsibilities for the world!"

The guard seemed to want to say something, but Feng Tianyu impatiently unfolded the wind swirl in his hand. Instantly, the wind swirl spread across the earth, and the menacing force of the lingering wind spread out.

"Nonsense! Then let me show you the sharpness of my sword!"

The guard drew his sword, and in the dazzling golden light, the phantom of a golden scepter appeared. No matter how many wind blades blew through it, they could not penetrate the towering peak.

"My sword has never been weak!"

"How dare you insult Master Dao! Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

With a swift draw of his longsword, the united servants also stamped their feet in unison, and a thick black mist spread out, giving rise to an aura of decay and corrosion upon the golden phantom.

As Feng Tianyu pointed to the sky, countless wisps of mist gathered at the tip of the sword, transforming into a sharp, all-encompassing sword capable of slicing through everything.

"Wait! There might be a misunderstanding!"

As the blade emerged, a chilling aura of death enveloped the hearts of the opposing side. The two martial artists collapsed to their knees, and even the proud guards became somewhat solemn.

But he wasn't afraid. Instead, he looked at the other silent guards. Who didn't know about formations? As a large family, their knowledge of formations would only be more profound!

But it was at this moment that the person in the sedan chair finally came out, holding a black and gold fan, his whole body exuding wealth and riches, radiating precious light.

He had an ivory-yellow complexion, horns on his forehead, a square face, and wore the long robes of a noble young master. He carried a jade pendant, a sachet, and a ceremonial sword. He raised his hand to signal the people around him to stop.

But Feng Tianyu wouldn't stop. Three years ago, the group of Mou people from the Mighty Bull Demon Sect who were freeloading were despicable, and now the people they brought with them are even more despicable.

The thought that Dao Chengyi's family shared the same origin as such a bunch of insects disgusted him; they were truly unworthy!

This humiliation can only be washed away by killing! Today, he will slaughter these scum on behalf of his lord!

"Stop, Tianyu."

However, just as Feng Tianyu was about to unleash his attack, Dao Chengyi's voice rang out, and he immediately stopped. The sword and mist quickly dissipated, and he sheathed his sword and knelt on one knee behind him.

"Greetings, Master Dao!"

The sound echoed, and whether it was the servants with swords, the gatekeepers who wouldn't yield, or Feng Tianyu, they all knelt down in sincere worship for the only master they recognized.

At this moment, the two were looking at each other from the top and bottom of the steps. For Mu Jihai from Chuzhou, the first time he saw Dao Chengyi, he felt as if he were looking at the head of the Wu King's family.

Majestic, noble, extraordinary, and imposing, it stands like a high mountain, majestic from afar and revealing its full form up close.

Is it a deliberate act of posturing, or a genuine expression of his true nature?

Mu Jihai wanted to kick those self-proclaimed, arrogant Bull Demon Sect members who were nothing but clowns and despicable figures.

The people in the clan are really something else. Although Cheng Yi is exceptionally talented, he hasn't made any progress in martial arts. He's just a pretty face now, and everything is being stabilized by Mu Qingluo.

Is this what you call a show-off? Anyone who can put on such a facade and have people willingly follow them is a useless person!

"Brother Dao, I have long admired your name. I am truly sorry for what happened today. It was all because of the machinations of a villain that I failed to recognize a true hero."

"Lotus and lotus leaves are one family. The main family and the branch family are both Mou, so there is naturally no distinction between the noble and the lowly. Guards, kill these two treacherous people who are sowing discord between the main family and the branch family!"

Mu Jihai decided to play it safe for now, since the treasure given to him by the elder was getting hot, which meant that if things continued, his life would be in danger.

Although he is a young master from a noble family, he is different from his peers who only know how to eat, drink, gamble, and be prostitutes. He has ideals and ambitions!

Following Mu Jihai's orders, the two martial artists, amidst their pleas and curses, were brutally chopped into mincemeat and left on the ground, while the efficient guards cleaned up the mess.

"A guest is a guest, and also a member of the host family. The Qingmang Mou family naturally welcomes you. Please come in."

Mu Hongdie's lineage is not doing well. Not only can they not produce the medicine, but they also don't even have a word when someone comes to visit. Well, a hundred years have passed, and there may be many generations of children. Where would they find the resources to manage all that?

No wonder she said "do whatever you want" and went into seclusion; it turns out she knew that Qingmang and his group had been abandoned.

"Then it would be impolite to refuse, and I've already gone on and on."

With a tentative mindset, Mu Jihai stepped through the door. Feng Tianyu noticed the guard's unfriendly expression but didn't provoke him.

Soon the gates of the Mu family's mansion were closed, and the protector of Magistrate Qin, who had been waiting to watch the show, sighed.

"Why don't you young people have any backbone? Why don't you just fight? What kind of skills does Dao Chengyi have? Do you think he'll back down to you?"

The old man regretted not being able to witness the infighting within the Mu family, but alas, he had no chance. However, it was alright; since the man was intelligent, they could naturally cooperate in the future.

The old man got up and left, deciding there was no need to look at the rest, as it wouldn't lead to anything.

However, after he left, the slowly moving crowd all kept their eyes fixed on the direction he had gone.

Then, the clouds in the sky started to rain again, and soon, the rain fell in large swaths, drizzling over the south of the city.

Just as the old man was about to leave with agile movements, a person blocked his way. From a distance, the person looked like a tree, but up close, he resembled bamboo, upright and resilient.

"I've been waiting for you. You thief who tried to assassinate the magistrate, my name is Qi Shuqing."

"Senior Brother of Fushan Martial Arts School"

Verdant vines grew from his body, and an inexhaustible aura emanated from him, with slight woody textures appearing on his skin.

Then... all the trees rose in spring... from the boundless thicket of trees here.
