"What’s happening? Do you know who it is?" Shangguan Chong’s eyes filled with coldness as his expression changed rapidly. It was clear that his son must have encountered sothing serious.
"Fa-Father! I... I..."
"Smack!!!" Shangguan Chong slapped him hard on the face, angrily berating, "Spit it out now! What are you hesitating for?!"
At this mont, all the Supre Elders and the veteran powerhouses of the Shangguan Family were gathered there.
Shangguan Tianlong dared not utter a word.
"Tell , tell everything you know!" Shangguan Chong was furious. As the head of the family, he had a domineering and forceful personality. Seeing that his son was hiding sothing, his dissatisfaction grew stronger.
"Father, Haoyue is dead!" Shangguan Tianlong knelt on the ground, covered his face, and with blood at the corner of his mouth, he suddenly cried out loudly.
"What!"
"What’s going on?"
"Ah!!! Haoyue is dead?"
"How is this possible! How can my daughter be dead?" A Supre Elder’s eyes widened in anger, stepping forward to grab Shangguan Tianlong by the collar.
He shouted, "What happened to my daughter?"
"Haoyue... Haoyue is already dead!" Shangguan Tianlong said painfully. After returning from Zhonghai, Shangguan Tianlong and Shangguan Man hadn’t ntioned anything about Zhonghai, nor did they report Shangguan Haoyue’s death.
Originally, they thought once their strength improved a bit, or they gathered so friends, they would avenge Shangguan Haoyue in Zhonghai. Who knew, at this mont, Shangguan Man himself got battered in his own family, forcing Shangguan Tianlong to suspect nervously.
"Such a major matter, how could you not tell ? Ah!" The Supre Elder was extrely agitated.
He only had one son and one daughter, and he was completely unaware that his daughter had died! How could he swallow this anger?
"We didn’t intend to, but..."
Smack!!!
Shangguan Chong gave another slap, knocking Shangguan Tianlong to the ground. Seeing the Supre Elder angry, Shangguan Chong was obviously a bit concerned about these elders. Within the family, the status of Supre Elders was not lower than that of the Family Head, so typically, the Family Head would show them so respect.
Seeing the Supre Elder lose his temper, Shangguan Chong wasn’t foolish; to safeguard his son’s life, he tried to placate the Supre Elder’s emotions.
"What nonsense! What exactly happened? How did Haoyue suddenly die? Who was behind it, tell the Supre Elder quickly!"
"It was Lin Zifeng from the Heavenly Gate!" Shangguan Tianlong couldn’t withstand the pressure from so many family elders before him.
"Heavenly Gate? That kid again!" Shangguan Chong’s eyes flashed with coldness, his gaze icy cold, "What exactly happened?"
"..." Seeing that he couldn’t hide it any longer, Shangguan Tianlong disclosed everything about the events in Zhonghai.
......
"It really was him! I guess the person who injured Man today was also him! Last night, there was a riot at the Ouyang Family, this matter undoubtedly has sothing to do with him!"
"Then what are we waiting for! I want to kill him! I want to take his head to console Haoyue’s spirit in heaven!!!"
......
anwhile, on the other side, Lin Zifeng hadn’t stepped out of the Qishi Mansion of the Beiming Family for three whole days and nights.
During these three days, he completely ignored the events happening outside. His primary task now was to improve his cultivation, cultivating, cultivating, and more cultivating! As long as his strength reached a certain realm, he could ignore those family dogs.
However, everything wasn’t as simple as Lin Zifeng imagined.
One night, he slaughtered over a hundred guards from the Ouyang Family, even Ouyang Tian’s son was killed.
The three major families, Shangguan Chong, Ouyang Tian, and Nolan Emperor, allied and demanded Beiming Yu to hand over Lin Zifeng!
That day, after injuring Shangguan Man, Lin Zifeng returned to the Beiming Mansion. Finding out his current location was fairly easy for the Shangguan Family.
"Bang!"
Beiming Yu suddenly stood up from the chair, her cold gaze sweeping across today’s visitors who demanded the Beiming Family to hand over Lin Zifeng.
"Head of the Shangguan Family, acting so forcefully and insistently, have you sought my agreent?"
In the Beiming Mansion, the heads of the three major families, including Shangguan Chong, had personally arrived. Their demand for Beiming Yu to hand over Lin Zifeng made Beiming Yu particularly dissatisfied. However, she was fully aware of the situation as it had developed to this extent.
That very night three days ago, wasn’t it she who indirectly incited Lin Zifeng to cause trouble for the three major families?
"Family Head of the Beiming Family, we’ve spoken all the pleasantries. Whether you hand over this Lin or not, you must not, or else don’t bla our Ouyang Family for tearing our face!" Ouyang Tian’s face was alternately gloomy and indifferent. With a son’s murder, how could this irreconcilable hatred be avenged? If he couldn’t kill his enemy with his own hands, how would he live with his pride? Even his son was killed by others. How could a father not react at all?
"Oh?! You’re threatening ?" Beiming Yu shot a sidelong glance at Ouyang Tian with her charming eyes.
This Ouyang Tian had high cultivation and was notorious for being debauched, with a powerful family. However, they were all just cowards. Beiming Yu didn’t take a liking to this family at all.
"Threatening? Beiming Yu, you’d better think again. Currently, all three of our families have co to condemn you. If you hand over that kid today, we’ll pretend nothing happened. If you stubbornly refuse, don’t bla us old friends for being rciless!"
"Ridiculous! Do you think this is the Xiao Family? The Xiao Clan was tricked and killed by you, and this major scandal was all blad on him. Now you’re here in the Beiming Family causing trouble. Do you think I’m afraid of you?" Beiming Yu’s aura surged, overwhelmingly domineering.
"You..."
Ouyang Tian glared angrily, his facial muscles twitching, just as he was about to speak, Shangguan Chong, standing beside him, held him back with a glance, smiling, "Beiming Yu, for the sake of one young kid, should we let the relationships between our families deteriorate? Is that what you wish for?"
"Indeed, I do not wish that, but don’t push !"
"It’s not us pushing you, rather that kid killed our clan Elder’s daughter, and the son of Ouyang Family Head. This blood feud of killing one’s children is irreconcilable. Beiming Family Head, I believe you understand this principle, right?"
"Have you figured out why he killed the Elder’s daughter, or why he murdered the Ouyang Family Young Master?" Beiming Yu calmly stepped forward, each step graced with elegance, her previously amiable face suddenly turned long and stern.
If today the three Family Heads united against her, she had so reservations. However, if a real fight broke out, who would win or lose was hard to say.
Over the years, the four major families have been in constant strife, everyone sensing the commonality in their hearts, and now, with the Beiming Family developing swiftly, achieving its current status in rely two decades, how could it not make the other three families nervous?
