When dawn had barely broken, Feng Liancheng had already arrived at the southern Guangling County.
He flew through the air and landed outside a large mansion. The mansion covered more than a hundred acres, with eight courtyards front to back, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, its flying eaves and interlocking brackets exuded grandeur.
The entrance was heavily guarded, with dozens of household guards standing firm, each with a cultivation level of no less than Seventh Rank.
Upon seeing Feng Liancheng, they imdiately placed their hands on their weapons, showing signs of alertness and vigilance.
Feng Liancheng lifted his gaze and looked at the plaque above the main gate.
When the words "Pan Mansion" t his eyes, Feng Liancheng knew he had found the right place.
In the next mont, the gate before him, as sturdy as the gates of a city, exploded with a thunderous roar, shattering into pieces.
The guards were instantly filled with a mix of anger and shock.
"How dare you!"
"What miscreant dares to behave lawlessly in front of the Pan Mansion?"
"Kill him!"
"Soone, there’s an intruder!"
Yet in the next instant, all these people spewed crimson and dropped to their knees.
Not only them, but even the house guards and estate sentries felt as if their Primordial Spirits were struck by a heavy blow, blood oozing from their mouths and noses.
Feng Liancheng’s imnse sword pressure covered the entire mansion in an instant, sparing no corner.
At this mont, the protective array in the courtyard also activated, clashing against Feng Liancheng’s Martial Intent.
The defenses here were far stronger than those at the Chu Mansion in West Mountain Town.
Yet Feng Liancheng still leisurely proceeded towards the inner courtyard of the Pan Mansion.
His Martial Intent concentrated, gathering boundless Geng tal Spirit, forming a massive Geng tal Sword high in the sky. The sword tip pointed downward, pressing down on the entire mansion.
As Feng Liancheng walked a hundred steps into the courtyard, he sensed an extrely powerful presence charging toward him like a teor.
Feng Liancheng raised his brow, guessing that it was the Pan Family Master, Pan Yuanhua, one of the few Third Grade martial cultivators in East State.
However, this person’s Third Grade cultivation mostly stemd from the legacy of previous generations of the Pan Family, not through normal promotion.
Pan Yuanhua’s own foundation was too weak, unsightly.
As for the ’Heavenly Elent teor Sword’ he practiced, while a decent swordsmanship, it was rely for show in this person’s hands.
Clank!
A golden and a red sword light clashed in the courtyard, instantly scattering with over twenty razor-sharp, fragnted Sword Qi, sweeping through and shattering large sections of courtyard walls and buildings.
Pan Family Master Pan Yuanhua let out a muffled grunt, retreating over twenty yards in the void before regaining his footing, then gazed with dread and astonishnt at the man who had forcefully entered the Pan Mansion.
And on his right shoulder was a glaring bloodstain! About three inches deep, piercing into the scapula, nearly severing his entire arm.
—If not for the support of the mansion’s array, it wouldn’t have been just his arm, even his life would have been forfeit.
"Who are you?"
Pan Yuanhua had barely uttered this sentence when his heart suddenly twitched, pupils dilating: "You’re Feng Liancheng, the Iron Flag Gang Guardian Minister!"
He had seen this man not long ago at the incense hall assembly.
"Indeed, it’s I, Feng Liancheng. It hasn’t been long since we last t, and Squad Leader Pan already doesn’t recognize ?"
Feng Liancheng coldly smiled, waving a token in front of Pan Yuanhua: "I am here by Flag Leader’s order, temporarily assigned to the Punishnt Hall, to dispose of the Pan family’s fifth and seventh sons. These two have oppressed our gang mbers, wreaked havoc locally, and shown blatant disregard for our gang’s decrees. They should rightly face punishnt. As for the Pan family’s tributes, they ought to be handed over as well."
Pan Yuanhua’s face changed imdiately. He cupped his hands: "Tributes are easy to discuss, I’ll prepare them right away and there will be no shortage. As for those two wretched sons, they’re not at ho and haven’t returned from outside."
Behind him, several sharp-witted servants had already begun running to the backyard, intending to notify the two young masters.
Yet in the next instant, Feng Liancheng raised his hand and with a grab, forcibly pulled two figures from the direction of the mansion’s backyard to stand before him.
"There’s no need to trouble you with this matter."
With his hand on his long sword, Feng Liancheng strutted into the main hall: "Regarding the tributes, the Internal Affairs Hall’s accountant will liaise with you. I advise you not to play any tricks with the accounts or try to conceal assets. The gang rules are rciless; I have no desire to make a return visit."
He was overbearing to the extre, treating all within the Pan family as insignificant, boldly seating himself at the main position.
"May I trouble Squad Leader Pan to gather all Iron Banner Gang mbers within Guangling County to witness the punishnt here!"
Pan Yuanhua’s face was entirely ashen. He glanced at his two beloved sons who lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move, consud with a mix of fury and fear.
"Sir!"
Pan Yuanhua wished he could cut down this scoundrel before him with a single stroke but could only hold back his rage.
From the brief exchange earlier, it was clear that he was absolutely no match for this man.
This Feng Liancheng possessed a Third Grade cultivation, yet his combat prowess was at least mid-tier on the Earthly List.
Pan Yuanhua was utterly perplexed.
Why would soone like him serve the Iron Banner Gang?
If Feng Liancheng wished, he could carve out a kingdom and establish a foundation of his own—why serve soone else?
Could it be that the title ’Infinite Blade Lord, blood revenge of the future,’ was so advantageous?
Pan Yuanhua cupped his hands: "My two unworthy sons indeed acted improperly at tis, yet they are inherently good. May I ask what rules of the gang they violated to warrant punishnt from the Punishnt Hall? And why must the gang mbers be summoned to witness the punishnt? Surely there must be conviction before execution, may I ask for any witnesses or evidence?"
