"Why hasn't he co yet?"
anwhile, in another restaurant's windowed room, Ji Feixue was looking out the window, clearly growing a bit impatient from waiting, knowing that sneaking out this ti ans the longer she stays out, the more likely she'll be discovered.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At this mont, the door to the private room was knocked.
"Co in."
Without turning her head, Ji Feixue muttered, "That bastard wouldn't have bailed, would he? If you dare to stand up, hmph."
"Who did you have an appointnt with?"
At this point, a deep voice ca from the doorway, and Ji Feixue turned around to see the tall figure of Ji Wuyang walking in: "Brother, how did you know I was here?"
Ji Wuyang snorted: "I went to your room to find you, and Qinghe said you weren't feeling well, but I wanted to check on you. Qinghe tried to stop , but that girl can't lie, so I naturally found out your whereabouts."
Ji Feixue jumped up from the chair and flew to Ji Wuyang's side, grabbing his arm: "Brother, I'm just too bored at ho, so I heard there was sothing exciting going on and ca out to relieve my boredom."
"Brother, you aren't going to drag back, are you?"
"Hmph, don't you know things have been tense lately? Especially with changes at the Xuanwu Sacred Land, the fools from the Ten Demon Hall not only sent people to kidnap you but also arranged for soone to impersonate the Ji Family's wedding procession to sneak into the Xuanwu Sacred Land."
"Although this matter has always been sealed, it's significant. The fact that the Ten Demon Hall dares to act with impunity clearly indicates that the Demon Alliance has been restless after over two hundred years of silence."
"Brother, I'm still inside Ancestor Dragon City, not going anywhere else. Besides, sneaking out this ti ensures no one will know."
Ji Feixue stuck out her tongue while speaking.
Ji Wuyang watched Ji Feixue acting spoiled and hmd: "Who told you Ancestor Dragon City is necessarily safe? The Ten Demon Hall is lurking here too, hidden deeply, and no one knows if the people around them might be from the Ten Demon Hall."
"Brother, now that you're here, I don't believe anyone can catch under your nose. Plus, those people want to target the Xuanwu Sacred Land, and their goal has already been achieved. What good would catching do now?"
Ji Feixue shook Ji Wuyang's arm, causing him to relent, "Fine, just stay for a while."
"Brother, you're the best."
"By the way, who were you talking about standing you up? Who did you have an appointnt with?"
"No one, just my best friend."
Ji Feixue evaded the question, when suddenly there was a commotion in the square outside, causing her to turn her head in that direction.
"He's here, he's here."
"Is that Li Feng?"
Although Li Feng arrived alone, the Zeng Family had arranged for people to escort him from front to back, and seeing this scene, everyone naturally knew this lone arrival was the one challenging the Zeng Family single-handedly, Li Feng.
At Martial Saint Square, there is a duel platform in front of the enormous Guan Gong statue, where challenges from the Lower Three Rings to the Sixth Ring families have traditionally taken place.
Li Feng walked to the center of the crowd, directly leaping onto the duel platform. The Zeng Family didn't wait here beforehand. It wasn't until Li Feng stood under the sun for half an hour that the Zeng Family appeared in Martial Saint Square, dressed in finery with angry horses.
"The Zeng Family is here."
"Tsk, the Zeng Family is making a big scene this ti, practically mobilizing everyone, including the Family Head and eight Golden Core mbers, not to ntion five Tributes and those from the Foundation Establishnt."
Even a minor, obscure family in Ancestor Dragon City has a large population, so unless there's low offspring count, a family that lasts a hundred years is generally four generations under one roof. If there are Golden Cores, a family with seven or eight generations under one roof isn't unheard of.
Are all the previous generations of Golden Cores in the Zeng Family dead?
That's clearly impossible; Golden Cores have a lifespan of two hundred years, and as long as the individual doesn't ss up, they hardly die. So these people are likely in seclusion, trying to reach a higher realm.
"Deploying double-digit Golden Core mbers; the Zeng Family is using a sledgehamr to crack a nut."
"It's true; this battle leaves Li Feng with almost no chance of victory—challenging a whole family alone, it's sheer folly. Now let's see how many Golden Core mbers Li Feng can defeat."
"Hmmm, difficult. It's said Li Feng only recently broke into the Golden Core realm, and his Condensation Realm isn't stable. The Zeng Family's young generation's Golden Core mbers probably have more stable realms, considering their resources compared to the Zeng Family."
Looking at this lineup, soone shook their head, as no one seed optimistic about Li Feng's dragon-slaying endeavor.
"Is it him?"
Ji Wuyang looked down, sowhat surprised to see Li Feng.
"Brother, you know him?"
Ji Wuyang nodded: "I was pulled along by Liu Mang and the others to the Lower Three Rings to attend the Flowers Pavilion's competition; he was there too."
"He even forced Sikong Lie to use the Vermilion Bird Transformation, ultimately suffering a backlash."
"Sikong Lie mastered the Vermilion Bird Transformation?" Ji Feixue was a bit surprised, as the Vermilion Bird Transformation is a signature of the Sikong family and can only be triggered by activating one's Bloodline Power, which is very strong.
"Does that an he defeated Sikong Lie who had activated his Bloodline Power?"
"Hmm, not really defeated; Sikong Lie just hadn't fully mastered the second tier of Bloodline Power and was ultimately self-afflicted."
Ji Wuyang wanted to clarify, as his friend being defeated by a no-na character didn't make him look good.
Ji Feixue, however, smirked: "A win is a win, a loss is a loss; why make excuses? Brother, this isn't like you."
Ji Wuyang looked at Ji Feixue: "Why are you speaking for outsiders? Sikong Lie treats you well."
Ji Feixue stuck out her tongue without saying more, afraid that any more would attract her brother's attention. She hadn't ntioned Li Feng since her return to Ancestor Dragon City.
This was also Li Feng's request, although Ji Feixue didn't know why he demanded this. Perhaps he feared facing the Ji family behind her.
Li Feng watched the Zeng Family enter, with at least a hundred people deployed from the Zeng Family, while he stood alone.
Yet Li Feng had no fear of the Zeng Family, taking a deep breath and then looking across at them.
"Today, I, Li Feng, challenge the Zeng Family. Whether single or group fight, co on then."
Li Feng drew out the King Sword, pointing it at the Zeng Family, not a bit verbose, inviting them to co at him.
"Wow, this guy is so arrogant, daring to be so bold in front of the Zeng Family; where does he get his courage from?"
The onlookers outside the platform heard Li Feng's provocative words and responded with exclamations. Was Li Feng truly reckless?
"Single or group fight?"
"Li Feng isn't dumb; this is deliberately provoking the Zeng Family. If they have any pride, they'll surely send soone up to a single duel. Otherwise, how could the honorable Zeng Family hit one person all at once and save face?"
