As soon as the pale white Handprint suspended in the Void began to move, suddenly, the resonant voice of Gangtian, the leader of the Tough rcenary Corps, rang out, urgent and full of vigor, "Wait! Wait a minute!"
The descending pale white Handprint ca to an abrupt halt. At this mont, Gangtian looked forward, his face, full of strength and resoluteness, slowly closed his eyes, revealing an expression of unwillingness and sorrow. Then, with a heavy voice, Gangtian shouted, "I kneel!"
"Ah!" Little Yi, the young girl, let out an extrely shocked cry upon hearing Gangtian’s words. She saw the man who, in her heart and in the hearts of countless mbers of the Tough rcenary Corps, stood firm and resolute—like a steel spear that would rather snap than bend—actually kneel down.
"This!" Little Yi’s heart struggled with the sight. In her eyes, the leader should be the kind of man who would rather die than submit to humiliation! Yet, at this mont, to beg for his life, he had bent his solid knees.
Was this still the leader she admired in her heart? Could this be so long-lost twin brother of the leader?
Shock, coupled with disbelief, was evident on Little Yi’s face.
Imdiately after Gangtian knelt, the other two Vice Commanders, Wenn Sheng and Chu Qing, also bent their knees and fell to the ground.
The three most powerful and authoritative figures of the Tough rcenary Corps, in a bid to save their own lives, kneeled in unison to Shi Feng, amidst the circle of blood-colored flas.
"Uncle Wenn Sheng, Uncle Yue Qing, you too... Ah..." Little Yi sighed deeply.
"Good! Since you have kneeled, stay kneeling until dawn breaks tomorrow, and I will spare your lives. Should you dare to defy my wishes halfway through, then you three, and those of the Tough rcenary Corps, will have no reason to continue existing in this world," said Shi Feng, looking down at the three n amidst the blood-colored flas, with a cold laugh.
Following that, a thought crossed Shi Feng’s mind and the pale white Handprint hovering above the three n imdiately dissipated. The blood-colored Fiery Flas that surrounded them rolled back swiftly towards Shi Feng and were quickly absorbed into his body.
Then, Shi Feng said to Little Bai below, "Little Bai, you shall rest here tonight, and in the anti, keep watch over these three for ."
"Roar! Roar!" Little Bai responded with a low growl, showing a fierce and ferocious expression to the three kneeling figures filled with sorrow.
Next, Shi Feng’s figure flashed, and he disappeared into the ground from where he stood on Little Bai, then turned to the young girl Little Yi and said, "Girl, follow . Tonight, I’ll show you how the Tai Family will completely vanish from Starshine City if they do not submit."
"Ah! You an to say?" Little Yi exclaid with shock upon hearing Shi Feng’s words.
"Yes, I’m now going to pay a visit to that so-called Tai Family!" nodded Shi Feng.
At that mont, not only the young girl but also the three n kneeling on the ground exchanged glances, a look of surprise crossing their faces. Who was this person, who dared to speak of making the Tai Family completely disappear from Starshine City?
And looking at the young man, he did not seem to be joking at all. With such an attitude, he clearly did not consider the Tai Family, ranked second in family power within Starshine City, as worth his attention.
Just how powerful must one be to utter such confident words?
Before this mont, they would have mocked him for overestimating himself, being a frog in the well. But now, was he really that kind of person?
Initially, Gangtian had called this man a frog in the well, overestimating himself, but now they found themselves kneeling in front of this man without any resistance, begging for life. The previous words felt like a slap that had harshly struck back upon their own faces.
Then, Shi Feng’s figure shot up into the Void. Now, after so delays in the forest, the sky that was nearing dusk had darkened, edging into night.
After Shi Feng reached the night sky, he paused there for a while. Shortly afterward, the young girl Little Yi also broke through space to arrive, appearing behind him.
"Who are you, exactly?" At that mont, the young girl’s voice rang out from behind Shi Feng.
Turning to face her, Shi Feng replied, "I co from a very small Empire in the Eastern Domain, known as the Yunlai Empire."
"The Yunlai Empire?" After hearing Shi Feng’s words, Little Yi shook her head and said, "I have never heard of it."
"Whether you’ve heard of it is no longer important; it’s just a very small country. Let’s go! I suspect the Tai Family has been waiting for a long ti." After speaking, Shi Feng turned back around, faced the direction of Starshine City, and with a single motion, shot off towards the distant Starshine City.
"This? Should I really follow him?" Looking at the figure receding into the night sky, Little Yi glanced down at the forest before her, hesitation flickering across her face. After a mont, she too made a move and ultimately decided to follow his trail.
"Ah!" As the figures above departed, down below, Gangtian of the Tough rcenary Corps let out a profound sigh. It had not occurred to him that they had originally co to capture this person, but now, under the force of his power, they had been coerced into kneeling here.
"Big Brother... I..." Next to Gangtian, Wenn Sheng, hearing Gangtian’s sigh, looked guilt-ridden; after all, capturing Shi Feng and delivering him to the Tai Family had been his suggestion.
"Alas, it is what it is now, so let’s say no more," Gangtian waved his hand, stopping Wenn Sheng from continuing.
"At least we are still alive!" At that mont, Yue Qing, the Vice Commander who had remained silent until now, finally spoke his first words.
"Yue Qing is right; at the very least, we are still alive," Gangtian said solemnly.
"Roar!" Just then, Little Bai, who had been assigned to guard them, seeing the n quietly discussing among themselves, once again bared his fearso teeth and let out a ferocious roar at them.
...
To the west of Starshine City, a mansion connected to a vast array of tall buildings was trembling as if an earthquake was occurring.
This mansion belonged to the Tai Family, ranked second among the families of Starshine City, and the trembling originated from the heart of the Tai Mansion. Along with the shaking, waves of furious roars resonated.
Those living close to the Tai Family easily recognized that angry roar as belonging to Tai Cen, the Tai Family Head. Those who heard it knew that sothing major had befallen the Tai Family.
Indeed, the Tai Family was in the midst of crisis; rumors abounded that Tai Ke, the son of Tai Cen and the Second Young Master of the Tai Family, had been killed!
