Panlong City, a magnificent City Lord's Mansion, is situated at the center of the city with millions of people, covering hundreds of thousands of square ters. Its palatial buildings are grand and layered, resembling an imperial city.
Inside and outside the Mansion, masters of cultivation and guards are patrolling everywhere, making the defense extrely tight.
Inside the mansion, in a palace, an old man with white hair wearing a dark red dragon-patterned robe glared angrily, raising his hand to slap Qin Fen and Qin Kai standing before him.
"You two have truly brought disgrace upon our Qin family." The old man said angrily.
Qin Fen and Qin Kai's cheeks imdiately bore two swollen handprints, one side of their faces swelling like buns, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of their mouths.
Despite the unbearable pain, the Qin brothers didn't dare to utter a single groan.
The white-haired elder was their father, the City Lord of Panlong City, Qin Ying.
"Father, don't bla our third and fourth brothers, don't let it harm your health." At this mont, a young handso man with an extraordinary air spoke to the old man.
This extraordinary handso young man was the City Lord's eldest son, Qin Huang.
"Yes, father, the third and fourth brothers must have realized their mistakes after this lesson, give them a chance to and their ways." At the sa ti, another young man with a steady and kind deanor, giving a very amiable impression, also advised the City Lord Qin Ying.
This steady and amiable young man was the City Lord's second son, Qin Jun.
After the two young masters' persuasion, Qin Ying's expression eased sowhat but still seethed with anger, saying, "Knowing full well that Lin Fei is detrintal to the Yuan family, you still aided the villain, causing the Yuan family's disgrace and ultimate downfall. How can I face the Yuan family and the world in the future?"
Second son Qin Jun signaled to Qin Fen with a look, and Qin Fen imdiately understood, promptly kneeling before Qin Ying, with a face full of self-bla and regret: "Father, it was my cowardice that hard the Yuan family. Please punish ; I have no complaints."
Qin Kai also imdiately knelt down, saying, "Please punish us, father!"
"Father, the Yuan family is already destroyed, and Lin Fei's plot succeeded, becoming the City Lord of Thousand Dragon City. Even if you now execute the third and fourth brothers, it won't bring back the dead or restore the Yuan family to its forr state." At this point, second young master Qin Jun reasoned with his father.
"The only course now is to let the third and fourth brothers reform and and their mistakes, and for us to seek justice for the Yuan family, so that both the living and the dead of the Yuan family know that our Qin family did not wrong them."
Qin Ying looked at his sons, a trace of admiration in his eyes. In his view, his second son Qin Jun and eldest son Qin Huang were his pride, whether it be their cultivation talent or handling of affairs — they required little of his worry.
But thinking of Qin Fen and Qin Kai made Qin Ying deeply disappointed.
To recount, aside from Qin Fen's cowardice in exposing the Yuan's cris, further tarnishing their reputation, what vexed Qin Ying the most was that he had sent Qin Fen and Qin Kai to Huaxia originally to find Qin family kin and bring them to the Holy Dragon Continent for mutual cultivation of the Saint Dao, to honor and benefit their clan.
Yet Qin Fen and Qin Kai had kidnapped Qin Zimo and Xiao Xiao and detained them at their private estate in Panlong City.
If not for the fact that the Qin brothers were caught by Lin Fei, requiring the Qin family to trade Qin Zimo, Xiao Xiao, and Qin Yunyue to retrieve Qin Fen, Qin Ying would have been completely unaware of Qin Fen's absurd actions.
Therefore, Qin Ying was greatly disappointed in Qin Fen and Qin Kai.
Moreover, in his view, the future candidate for the City Lord of Panlong City would certainly be chosen between his eldest and second sons.
"Alright then, for the sake of Huanger and Juner, I'll let you off this ti. But from today, you are to stay in the Qin family to reflect on your mistakes for one month." Qin Ying looked at the kneeling Qin Fen and Qin Kai and coldly rebuked.
Qin Fen and Qin Kai could only reply, "Yes, father."
"Co, take the Third and Fourth Young Masters away." Qin Ying commanded towards the outside of the hall.
Imdiately, seven or eight powerful masters of cultivation strode in from outside the hall, answering Qin Ying loudly: "Yes, City Lord."
Then, these seven or eight cultivation masters escorted Qin Fen and Qin Kai out of the hall.
Inside the hall, only Qin Ying and his two sons remained.
Qin Ying's face bore a solemn expression, his gaze subtly flashing with a sharp glint, as he turned to his eldest and second sons: "Tell everything you've gathered about Lin Fei in these few days."
"Yes, father." The two young masters imdiately clasped their fists and replied.
"Father, our spies in Thousand Dragon City have already collected all the information about Lin Fei." Eldest son Qin Huang first reported to his father.
Second son Qin Jun imdiately added, "Besides what the third and fourth brothers know, it can now be confird that Lin Fei is from Huaxia, his strength unknown. Yuan Hong's brothers captured his won, Yuan Yuxi, Wang Yixin, and others in Thousand Dragon City, so he ca from Huaxia to Thousand Dragon City, resulting in the Yuan family's downfall."
"Father, as I've heard, when Yuan Hong's brothers and third and fourth brothers went to Huaxia, wanting to turn so of Lin Fei's extrely beautiful won into their own, Yuan Hong also secretly plotted with the Gongsun brothers, Lu family's eldest son Lu Tiankang, and Xu family's third young master Xu Dong to deal with Lin Fei," Qin Huang said.
Qin Ying looked at Qin Huang and Qin Jun, asking, "How then did this Lin Fei co to the Holy Dragon Continent?"
Qin Huang said, "Initially, Yuan Hong's brothers and our third and fourth brothers believed that the Gongsun brothers, Lu Tiankang, Xu Dong, and others could kill Lin Fei. However, not only did they fail to kill him, but they were instead killed by Lin Fei."
Qin Ying's eyes showed a trace of astonishnt, taking a mont before saying, "This Lin Fei is truly a fierce wolf, killing the sons of the City Lords of the Gongsun, Lu, and Xu families in one go. Including the Yuan family, that makes four families that have suffered heavily at his hands."
But Qin Jun smiled and said, "There's another family that has also suffered at his hands."
"Which other family?" Qin Ying couldn't help but ask.
"The Wan family," Qin Jun said. "I heard from Qin Fen that Lin Fei infiltrated the Yuan family City Lord's Mansion by night, injured Yuan Hong's brothers, and hid in the Wan family's estate in Thousand Dragon City, even controlling second young master Wan Jingxuan for several days. Moreover, on the Yuan family's wedding day, he publicly threw Wan Jingxuan to the ground, disgracing him, so the Wan family must also hold a grudge against Lin Fei."
Just as Qin Jun finished speaking, the sound of footsteps was heard, and three old n entered from outside the hall, their brows furrowed, preoccupied with heavy thoughts.
"Big Brother!" As soon as the three old n entered the hall, they imdiately clasped their fists and addressed Qin Ying.
These three old n were Qin Ying's brothers.
"Third, Fourth, Fifth, do you have sothing to discuss?" Seeing his brothers with unusual expressions, Qin Ying couldn't help but inquire.
Third Master bowed and said, "Big Brother, we've just received a secret ssage from Thousand Dragon City—Second Brother has already died at Lin Fei's hands. Please, Big Brother, seek revenge for Second Brother."
"What? Second Brother was killed by Lin Fei?" Qin Ying was shocked, unable to believe it.
Qin Huang and Qin Jun were also greatly surprised.
"Big Brother, we also couldn't believe this news initially, but it is absolutely true—Second Brother is gone." Third Master was so grief-stricken he couldn't continue.
"Well, well, well, this Lin Fei, now including our Qin family, has offended the families of five City Lords. I must band with the other City Lords to shatter him, ensure he has no resting place!" Qin Ying's eyes glinted with hatred, uttering through gritted teeth.
