Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, Zhao Xue finally returned to Jiangzhou.

That evening, she invited more than a dozen of her close classmates to dinner.

These students were all admitted to the martial arts university. Zhao Xue had previously taken the lead in creating a small group to facilitate communication and contact among them.

Looking back, there were forty or fifty students in my class. Some of them chose liberal arts universities, while others did not continue their studies but chose to go home to start their own businesses or join various organizations.

Because the Great Xia Martial Arts Department and the Ministry of Education have taken measures to keep the information of the new students participating in the competition confidential, only Chen Feng and others knew that they were participating in the competition. Among the classmates, only Zhao Xue and Zhou Ping knew the truth.

Although the classmates knew that Chen Feng had excellent college entrance examination results, they didn't pay too much attention to it. Everyone got along well, and no one deliberately targeted anyone. During the gathering, the classmates talked about their experiences and insights on spiritual practice and trials.

However, when Chen Feng and his group left, someone spotted them nearby. They were several martial artists dressed in tight-fitting clothes, belonging to Qi Fei's Flying Hunting Team.

One of them, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized Chen Feng. His eyes lit up as if he had spotted prey.

"Captain, we just met Chen Feng. He's on vacation and has come back to Jiangzhou."

His voice carried a hint of excitement, but also a touch of nervousness, as if he were worried about missing something important.

Upon hearing this, Qi Fei on the other end of the phone immediately perked up, asking anxiously, "Really? Did you see it clearly?"

"It's absolutely true, Captain, it's Chen Feng. We can't be wrong." The man quickly replied, his eyes fixed on the direction Chen Feng had left in.

Half a year has passed since the college entrance examination, and Chen Feng's popularity in Jiangzhou has long since faded to the point that few people mention him anymore.

However, the Qi family never let their guard down around Chen Feng. They feared that Chen Feng had found a powerful backer who would be detrimental to the Qi family in the future.

For the past six months, they have been trying to find out about Chen Feng, but to no avail.

The Qi family had no way of knowing anything about Tianlang Pass.

What do you think Chen Feng, a freshman, could possibly achieve in such a dangerous place as Tianlang Pass?

At this moment, the martial artists had extremely mixed feelings. They hoped to find some valuable clues from Chen Feng, but they were also worried that they would get into trouble because of it.

Their eyes revealed a sense of vigilance and doubt, as if they were considering how to proceed.

"That kid's finally back. Keep an eye on him, don't let him get away this time." Qi Fei's face was grim, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He quickly turned to his men and whispered the order to them.

At this moment, the Qi family was sitting around the dining table, enjoying a sumptuous dinner. Qi Xiang had also returned from Jiangzhou Martial Arts University. He looked up and asked curiously, "Brother, who is it?"

Qi Fei's face grew increasingly grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, Xiang, one of my men just saw that Chen Feng came back for the New Year. Now that half a year has passed, Chen Feng shouldn't have joined any faction or have any background. It's time to get rid of him."

Qi Zhilin nodded in satisfaction, a resolute look in his eyes: "That's right. When dealing with such a genius, we must nip him in the bud before he rises to prominence, or we will surely suffer the consequences later."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiang immediately became excited. He patted his chest and said, "Brother, I want to go with you when you make your move. I'm already a mid-stage eighth-rank martial artist now. I wonder if Chen Feng's strength has improved much?"

Qi Fei gave him a cold look and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if he improves. I will take care of him personally."

His voice was cold and resolute, as if he could already see Chen Feng being defeated by him, since he had broken through to become a seventh-grade martial artist in the past six months.

Qi Zhilin thought for a moment and said, "We can't be too careless. Chen Feng is a genius after all, and no one knows if he has any opportunities after entering the school. I'll have Lao Zhou go with you. He'll keep an eye on you in secret to prevent any accidents from happening."

Old Zhou was a burly middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face and a cold look in his eyes. He stood silently in the corner, seemingly blending into his surroundings.

Qi Fei nodded. He knew that Old Zhou was extremely powerful, a peak seventh-grade martial artist. With him there, this operation would be foolproof.

On the way back, Chen Feng keenly sensed two figures looming behind him, seemingly following him.

He quietly used his spiritual sense to carefully observe the two people, and a ripple of emotion welled up in his heart—it turned out that these two were the warriors of Qi Fei's hunting team!

Chen Feng's eyes sharpened, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly."

Six months ago, when he was preparing to leave Jiangzhou for the Wilderness Martial Arts University, he meticulously set up a scheme to eliminate the Qi family and the evil god cultists in one fell swoop.

However, to his surprise, the Qi family never showed up, causing his plan to fail.

But now, after half a year, they have resurfaced.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng was secretly delighted: "Since that's the case, let's settle this once and for all."

Chen Feng knew that Qi Zhilin, the core figure of the Qi family, was only a mid-stage sixth-rank martial artist, and with his current strength, he was already capable of defeating or even killing him.

As long as Qi Zhilin can be eliminated, along with the two brothers Qi Fei and Qi Xiang, the Qi family will surely disappear from Jiangzhou.
