590: Chapter 0590: Soone Provokes 590: Chapter 0590: Soone Provokes Among the won, Gongsun Zhi looked at Long Fei with complex feelings, her eyes revealing a trace of coldness.
Last ti, Long Fei, like her, had used the Five Thunder Sky Gang Righteous thod, and his technique was even more authentic than hers.
Her Gongsun Family had always passed on their teachings internally and never externally.
She suspected that Long Fei’s ancestor was a thief who stole their Gongsun Family’s secret technique.
Among the n, Yan Wuji’s gaze towards Long Fei was filled with the most disdain and resentnt.
Last ti, that guy had touched his goddess Shen Yan’er, and Yan Wuji had held a grudge until now.
He heard that the elders in his family had already negotiated with the Jiang Family to betroth Jiang Yunlan to him.
In the end, it was all foiled by that guy.
His mind was spinning, thinking about ways to embarrass Long Fei.
There was a young master sipping tea, who also found Long Fei unpleasant to look at.
This young man was none other than Zhang Zi’ang, a direct descendant of the Zhang Daoling of Dragon-Tiger Mountain, who always prided himself on representing the orthodox Daoist Sect, unlike those from North Yangtze.
Now, the North Yangtze Daoism Sect had established the Dragon Group, and the South Yangtze Daoism Sect was also planning to set up an organization for young cultivating talents.
Zhang Zi’ang had co here specifically to recruit those cultivator families that hadn’t yet joined the Dragon Group.
His grudge with Long Fei had to be traced back to Sunx Bao’s master, Qiu Yibai.
Originally, with the support from the Zhang Family, Qiu Yibai moved freely in the secular world and could easily take over the Wang Family Ridge Copper Mine in Binhai City.
In the end, Long Fei defeated Qiu Yibai.
Their Zhang Family lost the juicy piece that was almost in their mouth and could only look for another suitable opportunity to re-enter Binhai City.
According to the rules of the Cultivation World, each family had its territory and should not start conflicts arbitrarily.
They couldn’t attack openly but could secretly support secular forces to act.
That’s how things had been done in recent years.
Ma Dazhi from the Ma Family watched Long Fei and Chu Feng with a strange look in his eyes, as their Ma Family had a collateral branch mber, Ma the Fifth.
Due to taking a job in Binhai City, he inexplicably died here.
After the side branch reported up, the family assigned him to investigate.
As a result, the Wuu Family went bankrupt and also made an enemy of the Jiang Family, with Wuu Decai, the head of the Wuu Family, ending up in prison.
In Binhai City, the only people Ma Dazhi could think of capable of killing Ma the Fifth were Long Fei and Chu Feng.
He decided that after today, he would go to the prison to ask Wuu Decai.
If it was confird to be those two, he would have to figure out ways to deal with them.
For now, the two had beco guest Elders of the Jiang Family, forming an alliance with them, so if he wanted to make a move, he’d have to do it secretly.
In the group of young masters, only Tang Shisan of the Tang Family from Guanzhong and Fu Qingzhu of the Fu Family from the Jin Region showed quite a liking for Long Fei.
Long Fei had helped them last ti, and both had remained grateful in their hearts.
Yuann Hua of the Yuann Family from Guanzhong and Li Zongze of the Li Family had a look of indifference as if they had seen through life.
They played with their own divination tools, muttering and calculating the ons.
Yan Wuji, with a cup in hand, went over and sat with Ma Dazhi.
Ma Dazhi had always been at odds with him, and upon seeing him sit down, his face grew longer.
Yan Wuji hurriedly said, “Brother Ma, with such a formidable enemy before us, we mustn’t squabble amongst ourselves any longer.
Beware, lest in the struggle between the snipe and the clam, the fisherman reaps the benefit!”
“What do you an?”
Ma Dazhi furrowed his brow.
Yan Wuji lowered his voice and said, “You don’t know?
I heard that Instructor Shen Feng personally ca to Binhai City to invite these two, asking them to join the Dragon Group as well.
He even said that as long as they’re willing to co over, he’ll imdiately hand over the positions of Dragon Group Captain and Vice-Captain to them.
Tell , if they are not formidable enemies, what are they?”
True to his na, Ma Dazhi was a man of great ambition but limited talent.
Stirred by Yan Wuji’s instigation and after downing a drink, he slapped the table and exclaid, “Outrageous!
We joined the Dragon Group, worked hard for it, and barely managed to build it up.
How can we let others reap the fruits of our labor?”
Yan Wuji concealed his mirth, patting his shoulder and comforting him, “Exactly.
I think it’s the Elder Master Shen who has taken a fancy to that kid nad Long Fei.
That’s why he has his grandson take such good care of him, clearly intending to support his future son-in-law’s rise to power!
Today, we must crush this youngster’s spirit.
As long as we beat him down so he can’t hold his head high, he’ll have no face to join the Dragon Group.
Then, the Dragon Group will still be under our control!”
Ma Dazhi expressed his deep agreent and asked him, “What’s your plan?”
Yan Wuji whispered into his ear, causing Ma Dazhi to nod, his eyes fixed on Long Fei as a smirk tugged at his lips.
Soon, the alliance ceremony was complete.
The hostesses from the Jiang family brought drinks, and Long Fei, Chu Feng, and Jiang Zongcheng picked up daggers, cut their fingers, and made a blood oath.
They each picked up a cup, ready to drink together.
At that mont, Ma Dazhi suddenly stood up and shouted to the altar, “Uncle Jiang, we mustn’t drink this wine just yet!”
The attention of all those present imdiately shifted to him.
Yan Wuji chuckled inwardly with satisfaction, thinking, “Ma Dazhi is such a fool, yet he dares to contend with for the position of Dragon Group Captain.”
With just a few words, he pushed the fool to the front to be used as a pawn.
Jiang Zongcheng naturally recognized Ma Dazhi—the direct heir of the Ma Family and the foremost candidate for the next Family Head.
He asked courteously, “What is the aning of this, Nephew Ma?”
Ma Dazhi, looking arrogantly at Long Fei and Chu Feng, declared, “I believe these two do not deserve to be the honorary elders of your Jiang family!”
The mbers of the Jiang family and the guests present were thrown into chaos, unsure why Ma Dazhi had suddenly jumped out with such an enmity at this ti.
Lin Yingying frowned tightly, glaring at Ma Dazhi’s presumptuous face, itching to slap him.
The nerve of him, daring to challenge her husband, completely spoiling the mood.
Jiang Zongcheng’s face also darkened, as he had personally facilitated the event, considering it an achievent in managing the Jiang family.
Ma Dazhi’s public challenge to Long Fei and Chu Feng was also a direct affront to him!
He said to Ma Dazhi with feigned politeness, “Nephew Ma, whom we Jiang family invite to be our honorary elders is our own family affair, and not sothing for outsiders to dictate.
Please do not make a commotion here and disrupt today’s alliance ceremony.”
Ma Dazhi, always accustod to being overbearing, had little regard for the Jiang family.
He responded with direct mockery, “Your Jiang family is really sothing, aren’t they?
When soone molests your clan mber and breaks your signboard, you don’t try to regain face but instead cowardly provide for them.
If I were you, I’d rather bash my head against the wall and die, than to live and lose face in the world.”
“Ma Dazhi, what do you an by that!”
Jiang Yunyi stood up, pointing at Ma Dazhi as he bellowed.
Although he and Long Fei did not get along and he was dissatisfied with his uncle’s recruitnt policy,
with things having co to this point, Ma Dazhi’s mockery was clearly a slap in the face to the Jiang family.
Ma Dazhi stood with his hands behind his back, looking up in disdain and laughing loudly, “I an nothing special, I’m just telling the truth.
You treat the enemy who molested your sister with courtesy, yet you snap at , your ally?
Is this how the Jiang family conducts themselves?”
