Bane Starfire also had a Level 4 expert supporting it, so Zhong He'an naturally didn't dare to go too far.

The four servants accompanying Zhong He'an sneered as they approached Feng Yuan, their eyes filled with murderous intent. Feng Yuan's gaze turned cold, and a trace of impatience flashed across his face. His good mood for the day had been completely ruined.

With a wave of his hand, it felt as if the air itself was being compressed. The four servants were crushed instantly, their blood spurting like fountains. In an instant, the four of them were killed!

Immediately after, Feng Yuan picked up a chopstick and threw it. The chopstick pierced straight through Zhong He'an's throat.

"Bang!"

Zhong He'an fell to his knees, his pupils dilating. He clutched his throat, disbelief written all over his face.

What just happened?!

"You dare... kill me? The Zhong family won't let you go,"

Zhong He'an struggled to speak, his voice filled with difficulty.

Feng Yuan didn't respond. To him, people like Zhong He'an weren't even worth paying attention to.

Moments later, Zhong He'an couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed straight to the ground, blood pouring from his throat. His eyes were filled with despair and regret, as well as... remorse.

Why did I provoke him?!

Unfortunately, there were no regrets in this world, and even if the Zhong family sought revenge, what did it matter to Feng Yuan? Death meant everything was over.

As Zhong He'an was killed, Baixiang Residence fell into dead silence. The patrons who were coming and going were filled with fear.

He actually killed Zhong He'an? Wasn't he afraid of the Zhong family's retaliation?

Feng Yuan's ruthless methods left them too scared to even breathe loudly.

He's terrifying!

Even Yang Jing Rou was shocked. She hadn't expected Feng Yuan to kill Zhong He'an so directly.

At the same time, a ripple of emotion surfaced in her beautiful eyes. If only I could marry Feng Yuan... Even as a concubine, I wouldn't mind.

With such strength and high status, what woman wouldn't want him?

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura descended upon Baixiang Residence.

A Level 4 expert!

The hearts of everyone present trembled. Had a Level 4 cultivator arrived so quickly?

The person who arrived was a slightly plump middle-aged man, his face filled with urgency. When he saw Feng Yuan sitting in the corner, he hurried over and respectfully bowed.

"I am Dong Zhi, the manager of Bane Starfire. Greetings, Young Master Feng."

Dong Zhi's face was filled with anxiety, fearing that Feng Yuan might take his life as well.

The others didn't recognize Feng Yuan, but how could a Level 4 stage expert like Dong Zhi not know the young master of the Feng family? The rumors had been spreading all over the city in recent days—Feng Yuan had killed the late-stage Level 4 cultivator, from the Li family. Dong Zhi, who was only at the mid-layer Level 4 level, knew he wasn't Feng Yuan's match, especially with the entire Feng family standing behind him.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

What?!

Seeing Dong Zhi bow to Feng Yuan, the patrons of Bane Starfire were shocked.

Young Master Feng... Wait!

Could he be...?

So young, and even a Level 4 expert would bow to him. He could only be Feng Yuan, the young master of the Feng family!

My god, Zhong He'an had kicked a steel plate!

Of all the people to provoke, he had to provoke Feng Yuan, and even tried to flirt with his servant girl.

Feng Yuan's indifference towards Yang Jing Rou now made complete sense. As one of the top beauties of Ancient revival city , she and the others would likely line up to marry him if he asked. Why would he care about Yang Jing Rou?

Feng Yuan glanced at Dong Zhi indifferently, stood up slowly, and turned to leave.

"This is truly boring. Little Han, let's go home."

With that, the two of them left Bane Starfire.

Watching them walk away, Dong Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Feng Yuan wasn't angry with him, that was the best outcome.

On the high stage of Bane Starfire, Yang Jing Rou bit her lip in frustration, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Damn it, Zhong He'an! If you hadn't messed things up, I could have at least had a meal with him today.

After Feng Yuan left, the patrons of Bane Starfire were finally able to breathe again. The restaurant remained quiet for a while before returning to its lively and noisy atmosphere.

...

The Wang Family.

"Master, the situation is even better than you anticipated."

When Wang Ming heard this, his eyebrows raised in surprise, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

The Wang family steward immediately explained, "Master, the Feng family's shops have all closed. Not a single one is open."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming's lips curled into a smile.

The Feng family, trying to compete with me? You're still too inexperienced!

Once I get my hands on the Spirit Essence Jade, wiping out the Feng family will be just a matter of time.

But just then, Wang Ming's brow furrowed, and he gestured for the steward to leave.

"You can go."

The steward bowed respectfully and left.

Shortly after, a figure in a black robe jumped in through the window, his face concealed. His identity was unrecognizable.

The man bowed to Wang Ming and spoke in a solemn tone.

"There has been an unexpected development today. Feng Yuan gave Feng Qingtian a space ring. I don't know what was inside, but they seem to have found a way to resolve their crisis."

Wang Ming's eyes narrowed. "Can you be more specific?"

The man shook his head. "I can't. Feng Qingtian and Feng Yuan were communicating through voice transmission, so I couldn't overhear their conversation. But when Feng Qingtian ordered the shops to close afterward, he seemed confident. You should be careful."

With that, the man turned and disappeared into the night.

Wang Ming took a sip of tea, pondering for a long time before sneering.

"Feng Qingtian , stop pretending."

"I know more about the Feng family than you do, Feng Qingtian . If you manage to solve this problem, I'll eat my own hat."

Wang Ming was confident that the Feng family had no way to resolve their current predicament. At most, they could temporarily alleviate the situation.

But deep down, he was still a bit uneasy. Feng Yuan's talent was too terrifying. If he broke through to the Level 5 , he would become a major threat.

Once I get the Spirit Essence Jade, I need to act fast.

...

The Feng Family.

Feng Yuan had just returned to his courtyard when Feng He rushed in, his face full of anxiety.

"Yuan, come with me quickly."

Seeing Feng He's serious expression, Feng Yuan immediately stood up.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Su Yuanba's face darkened as he replied, "The old master has woken up, and he specifically named you and the other juniors."

The old master?!

Feng Yuan was stunned. Could it be that he was still alive?

Feng Yuan released his divine sense and quickly detected a strong but weak presence in the Feng family.

It was half-layer level 6, Feng!

As a mid-layer level 10 expert, nothing within the Feng family could escape Feng Yuan's detection. He had just never bothered to investigate before.

Soon, they reached the main courtyard, then passed through a few more paths, eventually entering a hidden underground passage.

Ordinarily, such a passage would be cold and damp.

But this one was warm and dry, making it surprisingly comfortable.

At the deepest part of the passage sat an elderly man on a clean meditation mat. His face was haggard, his eyes dim and lifeless, and he appeared to be on the verge of death.

Standing before him were the direct descendants of the family, including the elders and their children. There were only twenty-three of them in total.

When Feng QingTian saw Feng Yuan approach, he immediately called out, "Yuan, come and pay your respects to your grandfather."

Feng Yuan hurried forward, respectfully bowing.

"Grandson pays his respects to grandfather.
