NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21: Feng Yuan's Hidden Power Revealed
Feng Yunqian roared, "No, you must come with me!"
"No one is leaving!" Lü Ming sneered coldly, glancing contemptuously at Feng Hongyuan . "Just broke through to Level 6, not enough to be a real threat."
As soon as he spoke, his aura exploded, covering the city like heavenly might. Countless people felt a chill down their spine, their eyes filled with fear. In this world, without strength, you could only hope a stronger being would spare you. There was no other choice.
Power ruled here, and even if a strong person killed a weaker one without reason, everyone would consider it normal.
"I'll handle Feng Hongyuan; you two kill the remaining six targets. Don't let them escape," Lü Ming commanded.
Luo Xingye laughed maliciously, "Don't worry, they won't get away."
In the distance, Feng Yuan shook his head in exasperation. He had thought that after Feng Hongyaun appeared, everything would be resolved, but this unexpected development had caught him off guard.
"I guess I'll have to step in," Feng Yuan muttered as he lifted his hand. A flash of spiritual light tore through the void, heading straight for Luo Xingye.
"Boom!"
Luo Xingye's head exploded instantly, blood splattering everywhere.
What?!
Lü Ming and Pan Huan, both ruthless fighters with vast experience, immediately reacted. Without saying a word, they turned to flee. Whoever had killed Luo Xingye so effortlessly must be far stronger than them, and they had no hope of winning.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two more flashes of light, and their heads followed, exploding into a gory mess. The three Level 6 experts were annihilated in a moment, as easily as stepping on ants. The entire scene was horrifyingly quiet as everyone stood in shock.
What just happened?
Though no one quite understood, seeing three powerful Level 6 experts fall so quickly sent all the members of the four families into a hasty retreat. Seizing the moment,Feng Hongyuan struck out with a powerful blow, instantly killing Wang Ming. Even as a Level 5, Wang Ming stood no chance against Feng Hongyuan .
Feng Hongyuan shouted, "Kill them all!"
The remaining members of the four families were consumed by fear. No matter the outcome, they were doomed. If the Feng family won, the four families would be wiped out. If they lost, the three Level 6 experts who had attacked earlier would surely kill them all to cover their tracks.
Especially He Hongyun , who was filled with regret. He had thought they had a sure win by siding with the Wang family, but now they were all as good as dead.
Very quickly, all the Level 5 members of the four families were slaughtered, leaving only the Feng family members standing. Feng Hongyuan respectfully called out to the heavens, "Thank you, senior, for your assistance."
But there was no reply from the sky, only silence.
Feng Yuan stepped forward, asking, "Master, was it you?"
Suddenly, a vortex of spiritual energy stirred in the heavens, only to vanish a moment later. The Feng family's eyes widened in shock could it really have been Feng Yuan's mysterious master?
They had heard rumors about Feng Yuan's master, but no one had ever seen him. Today's events, however, felt far too real. To easily slay three Level 6 experts, one of them being Level 6 Late layer, was an unimaginable feat.
Seeing the reaction, Feng Yuan bowed once again, "Thank you, Master."
This time, however, there was no response from the heavens.
Feng Hongyuan turned to Feng Yuan, his expression complicated. Who would have thought that their savior would be someone so young?
"Qingtian, perhaps you should step down and let Feng Yuan take over as head of the family. He's clearly more suited for the role. You can support him from behind," Feng Hongyuan suggested.
Feng Qingtian: "..."
Father, where's your tact?
But Feng Qingtian didn't mind. He looked over at Feng Yuan, "What do you think, Feng Yuan? Do you want to be the head of the family?"
"Don't worry, your uncles and I will handle the everyday affairs. You'd only need to make the big decisions," Feng Qingtian added.
Given Feng Yuan's prowess, even without mentioning his terrifying master, the fact that he had fought two Level 5 Mid-Layer experts and held his own was enough to solidify his status as the strongest. The head of the family often acted as a symbol of strength, not necessarily handling the daily minutiae.
Feng Yuan thought for a moment before declining, "Father, you continue as head for now. Let's revisit this in a few years."
Feng Qingtian nodded with a smile, "Alright. I'll hold onto the position for now, but when you're ready, just say the word."
Turning back to Feng Hongyuan , Feng Qingtian asked, "Father, how did you recover and break through?"
Feng Hongyuan answered first, "It was all thanks to Feng Yuan that I could heal and advance."
So it was true!
Feng Qingtian's eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Feng Yuan. His son's secrets seemed to grow by the day. However, he didn't press for details. Everyone was entitled to their own secrets.
Feng Hongyuan commanded, "Second Brother, take care of the spies who were watching earlier. Qingtian, round up the Feng family members and take over the properties of the four families."
"And remember—leave no one alive."
His tone was chilling, fitting for a family with a history of banditry. No one from the four families could be allowed to survive.
With a cold glint in his eye, Feng Qingtian bowed, "Understood."
Soon after, a bloody purge swept through Myriad Demons City as the four great families were eradicated. Not a single soul was left alive. Even the eggs were smashed, and every ant nest drowned in boiling water. It was clear to everyone that the Feng family had won their feud with the four families.
The new rulers had risen, and the city's other powers were trembling with fear, shutting themselves inside their homes to avoid attracting attention. Only after the dust settled would they dare step out again.
Especially those who had once aligned with the four families they were terrified the Feng family might come for them next. Now, aside from the Feng family, there wasn't a single Level 5 expert left in Myriad Demons City.
On that same day, Feng Qingyun used the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid to break through to Level 5.
Back at the Feng family residence, Feng Qingtian had just returned when he was approached by a subordinate who delivered a report. His expression darkened as he coldly ordered, "Bring Elder feng Yi from the branch family."
