Wu Tian's words were powerful and resounding, making everyone present feel his strength and determination.
Wen Yuan's face instantly lost its color. Although she knew very little about the reputation of the Dragon Capture Hall, she could tell from Qi Yunfeng's solemn expression that the other party had an extraordinary background.
Wu Tian's act of killing the messenger of the Dragon Capture Hall was like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, causing ripples that foreshadowed the coming storm for the Dragon Capture Hall.
She moved gracefully and quietly approached Qi Yunfeng, her voice as soft as a whisper, yet full of earnestness: "Grandpa, could you lend a helping hand and get him out of danger?"
Qi Yunfeng did not utter a word, but gave Wen Yuan a profound and complex response by gently patting the back of her hand.
Every scene of Wu Tian's first encounter with Luo Lie was clearly imprinted in Qi Yunfeng's mind.
He was secretly amazed and full of praise for Wu Tian's performance.
This young man, not yet thirty, completely overwhelmed Luo Lie, the fortune envoy of the Dragon Capture Hall, with his extraordinary aura, demonstrating a composure and decisiveness beyond his years.
When questioned, Luo Lie appeared hesitant and lacked confidence.
In contrast, Wu Tian remained calm and composed, frankly admitting that he was the one who killed the Transmission Master. His courage and sense of responsibility were truly remarkable.
Luo Lie's expression changed slightly, as if he hadn't expected Wu Tian to admit it so bluntly. The provocative tone instantly transformed into a heavy pressure that filled the air.
He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sharp and unwavering as he stared directly at Wu Tian. An undeniable aura of solemnity and power emanated from him, and his deep, powerful voice rang out: "Brother Wu Tian, you truly are a dragon among men. Now that you have admitted to killing someone from the Dragon Capture Hall, have you considered whether you can bear the consequences?"
Wu Tian gently raised his head, his gaze piercing through the intricate carvings and paintings, as if he had already grasped the true meaning of all things in the world.
A faint yet resolute smile appeared on his lips, and his words struck like three thunderclaps, shaking the hearts of everyone present: "Those who harm the Wu family will surely perish; those who obstruct my path of revenge will not escape death; those who provoke Wu Tian will only perish!"
Those three cries of "death" were like the sharpest blade, shattering the tranquility of the reception room and making everyone present feel as if they were in the midst of an invisible death sentence, their hearts shaken like never before.
Wu Tian's words were not merely a declaration of war, but a firm defense of his inner beliefs. There was no retreat in his eyes, only his dedication to justice and his fearlessness in the face of the enemy.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan's eyes flashed with a complex mix of emotions: worry, admiration, and an indescribable pride.
She bit her lower lip, secretly deciding that no matter how treacherous the road ahead, she would stand by Wu Tian's side and face the impending storm together.
Luo Lie's expression was unpredictable. As the Fortune Envoy of the Dragon Capture Hall, if he chose to ignore Wu Tian's blatant provocation, he would surely lose the dignity of the Dragon Capture Hall.
He gritted his teeth, a cold smile curving his lips, and sneered, "Brother Wu Tian, do you perhaps mistakenly believe that the Dragon Capture Hall has no way to deal with you?"
Wu Tian turned around leisurely, his gaze indifferent as ice, lightly sweeping over Luo Lie, his words devoid of any warmth: "The Dragon Capture Hall? Ha, you can even pull off an online bounty stunt, what can you possibly do? Besides, shouldn't those mercenaries be upgraded?"
Luo Lie's expression changed drastically, like a dark cloud before a storm, heavy and oppressive, as if he had suffered an invisible blow.
Faced with Wu Tian's sharp questions, he found himself in a dilemma.
To admit it would be a complete loss of face.
Denying it cannot conceal the truth.
Today's operation to kill Wu Tian was orchestrated by him. He originally wanted to get rid of Wu Tian as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, the mercenary group was wiped out, while Wu Tian was unharmed.
In the silence, the burly man with the crew cut behind Luo Lie could no longer contain his anger and roared, "Who do you think you are? How dare you disrespect the majesty of the Dragon Capture Hall!"
Wu Tian glanced sideways, his eyes calm and his tone serene yet exuding an undeniable authority: "Me? I am an existence that you should not touch, and the Dragon Capture Hall is no exception."
The burly man with the crew cut, like an enraged beast, leaped to the center of the reception room, his voice booming like thunder: "Come here if you dare, let me see what you're made of!"
Wu Tian merely glanced at him indifferently, shook his head slightly, and said with disdain and contempt: "To me, you are nothing but a speck of dust. How could you be qualified to be my opponent?"
"What if I were included?" Scarface, who had been silent all along, asked quietly, his voice low and threatening.
Wu Tian shook his head again, a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Even if the two of you join forces, you are still no match for me. If Envoy Luo is willing to make a move, I can give him a chance!"
After speaking, he slowly turned to Luo Lie, his eyes flashing with a challenging light.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yunfeng, who had not spoken for a long time, gently advised, "Envoy Luo, please calm down. You are an envoy of the Dragon Capture Hall, and your status is extraordinary. Don't lower yourself to his level."
After he finished speaking, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he could hardly hide his cunning.
His words, on the surface, seemed to be trying to mediate a fight, but in reality, they were laced with sarcasm and intended to incite conflict.
He knew that both the Dragon-Capturing Hall and Wu Tian were formidable enemies, and the Qi family was caught in the middle, making their situation extremely delicate.
If the two sides could be brought into direct conflict, the Qi family might be able to remain uninvolved and observe the changing situation.
However, before Luo Lie could respond, the burly man with the crew cut spoke like a thunderclap: "What level are you to deserve Luo Lie's intervention?"
Scarface followed closely behind, his words ringing out: "If you want to challenge Envoy Luo, you'd better ask my brother and me first!"
The two sang in perfect harmony, their performance was so seamless and their presence was truly awe-inspiring.
However, Wu Tian turned around calmly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, his tone both calm and authoritative: "Since that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to eliminate you first, and then challenge Envoy Luo. It just so happens that I didn't intend to let the Qi family live in peace. Since you two are willing to sacrifice your lives, how can I let you down?"
Seeing this, Wen Yuan wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but Qi Yunfeng gently pulled her back and shook his head to signal her.
In his mind, if Wu Tian could clash with Luo Lie's men, it would be a wonderful thing for the Qi family.
Luo Lie did not stop them, but gestured to the crew-cut man and the scarred man with his eyes: "This is Mr. Naiqi's home. You can fight each other, but remember to stop when you've made your move and don't cause any bloodshed."
Flathead and Scarface exchanged a knowing smile, secretly resolving to do everything in their power to kill Wu Tian.
Wu Tian had already leisurely walked up to them, a cold smile playing on his lips: "This isn't a performance, so why talk about stopping short? When I, Wu Tian, make a move, it's always a matter of life or death. Today, someone will definitely pay the price!"
