As Zuo Feng spoke, he secretly glanced at Xiang Wantang's expression out of the corner of his eye, his heart filled with fear and unease.

He tried to pin all the blame on Zuo Jingwen so that he could escape unscathed from the crisis.

Back then, he doted on Zuo Jingwen to the extreme.

He would give Zuo Jingwen whatever he wanted, even rare items that he had treasured for many years and regarded as priceless treasures. He would take them out without hesitation as long as Zuo Jingwen asked.

Take, for example, that rare Creation Pill that was obtained with great difficulty from the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect. It is a treasure that countless people dream of, capable of greatly improving cultivation and enhancing strength.

But when Zuo Jingwen asked for it, he gave it to him without hesitation, hoping that Zuo Jingwen could achieve something and support the Zuo family in the future.

However, when his life was at stake, Zuo Feng's mind tipped instantly.

In his view, his own life was far more important than Zuo Jingwen's. In order to survive, he did not hesitate to sacrifice Zuo Jingwen, pushing Zuo Jingwen into the eye of the storm.

Upon hearing Zuo Feng's words, Zuo Jingwen and the other experts from the Zuo family all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had heard the most absurd thing in the world.

In their eyes, Zuo Jingwen was the future successor of the Zuo family and the hope of the family. How could they allow Xiang Wantang to say that she wanted to kill or torture him?

This is an insult to the Zuo family!

Moreover, although the middle-aged man in the blue robe in front of him has an extraordinary temperament, he may not be the real Xiang Wantang. He may just be a fraudster impersonating him.

"Zuo Feng, you're really not a decent grandfather!"

Before Xiang Wantang could speak, Fang Han couldn't help but laugh.

His eyes were full of mockery as he looked at Zuo Feng and said, "If Zuo Jingwen hadn't offended your grandmaster, Sect Master Xiang Wantang, you probably would have killed the person who clashed with Zuo Jingwen without saying a word. Why would you push Zuo Jingwen out as a scapegoat and use his severe punishment, or even his death, to save your own life?"

Upon hearing Fang Han's words, Zuo Feng's body jolted violently, as if struck by lightning, and he trembled even more intensely.

He lowered his head, not daring to look Fang Han in the eye, his heart filled with shame and fear.

He knew that this young man was no ordinary person, and Xiang Wantang called him "brother," so he dared not retort.

Zuo Jingwen also understood the deeper meaning in Fang Han's words. He felt that Zuo Feng was going to give up on him, and he was immediately furious. His eyes widened as if they were about to spit fire.

He pointed at Zuo Feng's nose and roared, "You old codger, are you really that afraid of these two? I don't think this guy is any old sect leader at all! There's not a trace of true essence on him; he's probably just a fraud who looks like Xiang Wantang! And that young man, on the other hand, has the strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage. If you don't fight him to the death and instead just watch me get killed by them, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

His voice was filled with anger and resentment, and there was no longer a trace of the respect he once had for Zuo Feng.

In his view, Zuo Feng's actions at this moment were simply cowardly, incompetent, and extremely selfish.

"You caused this mess yourself, so of course you have to bear the consequences. What does it have to do with me? Even if it's the father's fault for not raising his children properly, it's still your parents' fault! I only see you a few times a year, and you're already an adult. You should be responsible for your own actions!"

Zuo Feng was also furious. His face turned red, and he roared at Zuo Jingwen.

He was very worried that if Zuo Jingwen continued to speak so recklessly, he would get himself involved as well.

If he angers Xiang Wantang, she might be able to kill him in one move.

Xiang Wantang's face darkened, and a shadow seemed to fall over her brows.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Alright, stop tearing each other apart like mad dogs here. What kind of behavior is this! Zuo Feng, you can deal with Zuo Jingwen as you see fit. After you've dealt with this wretch, I'll settle our accounts carefully."

He had long seen through Zuo Feng's schemes, and now his disappointment in Zuo Feng was like a burst dam, impossible to reverse.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng quickly stood up, his eyes filled with determination and ruthlessness, and slowly turned his gaze to Zuo Jingwen.

At this moment, Zuo Jingwen's face flushed red with anger, and he suddenly stood up to meet Zuo Feng's gaze.

He keenly sensed the undisguised killing intent in Zuo Feng's eyes, and his heart tightened. Fear and anger intertwined, and he glared at Zuo Feng, roaring, "Old man, you're not really going to kill me, are you?"

Zuo Feng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Zuo Jingwen, how dare you! You flirted with Miss Qiao Yue and even tried to harm Senior Qiao Qianshan, the old sect leader, and this Mr. Fang! Such behavior is utterly heinous and deserves to die!"

He was actually a little hesitant about taking action against Zuo Jingwen, after all, Zuo Jingwen was his grandson and the only bloodline of the Zuo family in this generation.

However, upon seeing Zuo Jingwen's disgusting and repulsive appearance, his hesitation vanished instantly, and he felt that Zuo Jingwen was truly deserving of death.

"Sacrificing family for the greater good? Old man, you are incredibly foolish. You've been completely fooled by these two without even realizing it."

A mocking smile played on Zuo Jingwen's lips.

Just then, a high-ranking martial master from the Zuo family, seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, became extremely anxious and hurriedly pleaded with Zuo Feng, "Grand Uncle, you must not kill Zuo Feng! In my opinion, this person is not the old sect master Xiang Wantang at all. Don't be fooled by them."
