The Great Elder of the Shangguan Family frowned imdiately upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, "Young one, you better watch your tongue. I know where your anger cos from. Is it not because of the girl by your side? But her issues seem to have nothing to do with our Junior Sect Leader!"
"Nothing to do with him? He instigated Murong Gang to insult Xia Xue. Although he did not succeed in the end, Xia Xue closed her heart and showed no signs of awakening for twelve years because of that. Are you saying this has nothing to do with Shangguan Mingshang?" Lin Fei retorted.
The Great Elder sneered, "You just said it yourself that the girl was hard by Murong Gang. You should be going after the Murong Family, not us, the Shangguan Family. Or are you afraid of the Murong Family, so you ca after us who are weaker than the Murong Family?"
Lin Fei did not expect an old man to be so shaless to such an extent. Lin Fei was speechless, "So, you Shangguan Family consider yourself weaker than the Murong Family?"
Upon hearing this, mbers of the Shangguan Family showed complex expressions. This was not just their belief; it was the plain truth.
In their eyes, Lin Fei clearly knew this fact but still said it out loud, as if deliberately slapping them in the face, which made the Great Elder sowhat intolerable. In anger, he said, "Brat, stop talking nonsense!"
"Nonsense? Clearly, it’s what you said yourself. You claid that I ca to take down a family weaker than the Murong Family, implying that you see yourselves as beneath them. I didn’t say anything else." Lin Fei chuckled, not afraid to anger the Great Elder.
The Great Elder was furious. Lin Fei babbling nonsense here imdiately pointed at Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, I advise you to release our Junior Sect Leader at once, or don’t bla us, the Shangguan Family, for bullying the few with many."
Lin Fei chuckled at this. He was not afraid of their numbers. He had enough of the old man from the Shangguan Family, and he wished to settle this feud presently.
"Your outdated stubbornness only brings disgrace! Bring out your real Family Head. I will negotiate with him." Lin Fei spoke, knowing that the one in charge is rely an elder, that the true family head holds the decision power. Lin Fei wanted to know what the Shangguan Family’s stance was.
If the Family Head held the sa attitude, Lin Fei would have no reason to hold back!
"Our Family Head is in seclusion. You can’t just et him at your leisure!" the Great Elder replied icily, infuriated by Lin Fei’s accusation of outdated thinking.
"Kids these days lack manners, looks like you need to be taught a lesson!"
"Then there’s nothing more to discuss. Co at together, and at worst, I’ll wipe out the Shangguan Family today!"
At this mont, Lin Fei had that very thought. The Family Head was in seclusion, leaving a Great Elder to manage affairs, plus the Junior Sect Leader was just like Shangguan Mingshang, Lin Fei could trample three of the likes of him and still not be satisfied, hence his disdain for the Shangguan Family had deepened.
"Arrogant! Ignorant child, today I will show you what’s beyond the sky and who reigns beyond n!" the Great Elder retorted, commanding the Shangguan Family’s high-ranking mbers to charge at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei let out a cold laugh. Amidst the overwhelming attacks, the dazzling Primordial Energy shimred in the air, beautiful yet perilous.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Fei was swiftly enveloped by a Defense Cover, protecting him from the attacks pouring down like rain, causing him hardly any harm.
Standing within the Defense Cover, Lin Fei watched their attacks conclude, then released the shield, saying, "Now that your attacks are over, let return the favor."
Having said that, Lin Fei pointed his finger—shhh, shhh, shhh!
A number of small flas appeared around Lin Fei corresponding to the number of high-ranking mbers of the Shangguan Family. The black flas exuded invisible pressure, making them cautious.
"Go."
Lin Fei commanded, sending out the flas condensed from the Dead Fire. The high-ranking mbers of the Shangguan Family, seeing Lin Fei’s attack, displayed mixed reactions; so dodged disrespectfully while others defended, but they all undermined Lin Fei’s attack.
However, once the Dead Fire landed on them, they realized just how painful it was!
The Dead Fire seed to consu their Heaven and Earth Qi, making it impossible to extinguish. Moreover, the flas Lin Fei launched attached precisely to their bodies, enveloping all the Shangguan Family’s high-ranking mbers in a layer of black Dead Fire.
The crowd below was shocked, witnessing their high-ranking mbers howling in agony from just a single fla of Lin Fei’s, disbelief written all over their faces.
Even the Great Elder suffered the sa fate. The more they encountered the Dead Fire, the more they attempted to extinguish it. However, using their habitual Heaven and Earth Qi only strengthened the flas, leading inevitably to their demise.
Watching the high-ranking mbers of the Shangguan Family rolling on the ground, Lin Fei remained indifferent.
At last, a voice called out, "Brother Lin Fei, it’s been a while!"
"Family Head Shangguan?"
"It’s indeed ."
Lin Fei smiled, "I heard you were in seclusion, so why have you co out?"
Family Head Shangguan smiled, "Just in seclusion, and with such a ruckus outside, how could I quietly stay secluded?"
Lin Fei chuckled softly, "It’s fine. Soon enough, they’ll quiet down completely and never make a sound again, so let them indulge for now."
Hearing Lin Fei’s calm words, Family Head Shangguan’s face froze, his expression turning awkward with a forced smile, "Brother, despite everything, they are high-ranking mbers of our Shangguan Family. Could you spare them for my sake?"
"For Family Head Shangguan’s sake, I, Lin Fei, shall oblige." Lin Fei chuckled, extending his hand. A force surged, drawing back the Dead Fire along with the Heaven and Earth Qi.
Witnessing this scene, the Shangguan Family’s head sighed with relief, but Lin Fei’s subsequent words made him tense once more.
"Family Head Shangguan, since I have given you face, won’t you return the favor?" Lin Fei smiled as he looked at Family Head Shangguan.
Hearing Lin Fei’s words, Family Head Shangguan realized, it wouldn’t be easy to resolve this matter.
