With a series of crackling sounds, early the next morning, a string of firecrackers exploded in front of the old site of Qianlan Pavilion.

However, the old faces are always replaced by new ones, and the plaque hanging on the gate no longer reads "Qianlan Pavilion," but "Dingtian Palace."

Many passersby stopped to watch.

"Huh? Wasn't this Qianlan Pavilion's territory before? That was a force entirely composed of women. How did it become Dingtianque?"

"It seems to be a newly established force. They dare to establish a new force on the old site of Qianlan Pavilion. They have some nerve!"

"Dingtianque? What ambition! Heh, but Kyoto isn't a place where just anyone can get a piece of the pie. Just wait, it probably won't be long before Dingtianque gets smashed up."

"Taking too big a step can lead to disaster. Trying to swallow up the original territory of Qianlan Pavilion right from the start? Aren't you afraid of choking on your own?"

Many people shook their heads with cold smiles, clearly not optimistic about this newly established small force.

Since the Gu family, the Li family, and the Qianlan Pavilion all perished one after another, a gap has appeared in the pie of Kyoto.

Many forces wanted to rise to power and get a share of the pie, but it wasn't that easy.

During this period, countless forces have tried to replace the Gu family, the Li family, and Qianlan Pavilion, and many have fought tooth and nail for it, but none of them have been able to stand out.

Putting aside everything else, how could those established powers possibly allow a new power to stand on equal footing with them?

This is similar to how the son of a nouveau riche finds it difficult to integrate into the circle of real second-generation rich kids; they simply don't include him.

Sure enough, not long after Dingtianque was established, two forces came knocking on its door.

"They are from the Gongsun family and the Gale Society!"

Some people in the crowd recognized the newcomer.

The Gongsun family is an established power, no weaker than the Qianlan Pavilion, while the Liefeng Society is a newly emerging power that has recently risen to prominence with tremendous momentum.

Some say that the Gale Wind Society is actually a force secretly supported by the Gongsun family, but neither the Gongsun family nor the Gale Wind Society admits to this.

"Dingtianque? Ha! People these days, they really don't fear making a fool of themselves when naming things. You people dare to talk about Dingtian?"

The leader of the Gongsun family was a middle-aged man around thirty years old, wearing glasses. Behind the lenses, his eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake, and a smile played on his lips.

His name is Gongsun Qianbai. He holds a high position in the Gongsun family. Many people in the capital are afraid of him because he is vindictive. Once you offend Gongsun Qianbai and fall into his hands, your fate is worse than death.

"Lord Gongsun is right. There are too many people who overestimate themselves these days! It's all because life in the capital is too comfortable. Such people should be sent out to feed the foreign tribes."

The leader of the Gale Gang was a short, burly man. He didn't look tall, but his body was full of incredibly strong muscles, like a landmine. At this moment, he was echoing Gongsun Qianbai.

Although this man was not tall, no one at the scene dared to look down on him.

Because this landmine-egg is named Ge Liefeng, who is the president of the Liefeng Society and also its strongest member.

Based on the momentum of their Gale Wind Society's development, it wouldn't have been long before they were able to gradually erode the original territory of the Thousand Orchid Pavilion. Now, the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Palace is something Ge Gale Wind cannot accept.

"Gentlemen, today is the founding day of my Dingtianque. I do not wish to see bloodshed, so please forgive me. If you are here to offer your congratulations, then we will welcome you in full procession. If you are here to cause trouble, then please leave." Feng Zhizhao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the two men.

To be honest, after the kid changed into a well-tailored outfit, he actually looked quite presentable, Qiao Suinian nodded secretly from behind.

"Hahahaha!" Ge Liefeng burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about that, because your so-called Dingtianque will soon become history!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Ge Liefeng's eyes, and then he slashed at the plaque of Dingtianque with his sword, the blade energy crisscrossing as it flew.

The main gate was smashed on the very first day of its establishment, which means that regardless of whether Dingtianque can continue to exist, it will become a laughing stock in Kyoto.

clang!

Just as Ge Liefeng's slash was about to cleave the plaque, a Tang sword instantly blocked it. The blade and the sword energy collided, producing a metallic clang.

The owner of the Tang sword was none other than Feng Zhizhao!

After being forged by Lin Sanshi, the Tang sword in his hands had undergone tremendous changes.

"Good lad, you actually managed to block one of my blades!" Ge Liefeng narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing something; this person in front of him seemed rather difficult to deal with.

"Stop talking nonsense. Since you're here to cause trouble, then draw your sword!" Feng Zhizhao's eyes turned deep blue, and then lightning power surged from his body, with countless lightning arcs cheering.

After some time away, Feng Zhizhao's control over the Thunder has clearly reached a new level.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Ge Liefeng also had a fiery temper, and was ready to fight after being provoked by Feng Zhizhao.

At this moment, Gongsun Qianbai suddenly stopped him, looked at Feng Zhizhao, and then gave a cold smile.

"Only a brainless brute would resort to violence to solve problems. I can see you're very confident in your abilities, but so what if you can beat Ge Liefeng? What good is being able to fight? In this world, power and background matter. Let me ask you one question: When you established Dingtianque, on the old site of Qianlan Pavilion, did you even consult the opinions of us established forces?"
