Hearing Cui Beiye’s words, Cui Fenglang nodded seriously.
Their trip to Zhefengdu Divine City this time was not as simple as merely attending the Qi family’s birthday banquet.
They had come with a mission!
So naturally, the family mission had to take priority above everything else.
Still, Cui Fenglang memorized Ye Yu’s appearance, intending to find him again if an opportunity arose.
He wanted to ask exactly how the man knew him.
Although... for some reason, that man had suddenly felt somewhat familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before.
Before Cui Fenglang could think further, a violent shockwave swept over him, forcing him back a hundred steps.
Qi Renjia had suddenly erupted into action, intending to personally kill his own son, Qi Jiang.
That scene did not surprise too many people.
Qi Jiang had exposed far too many secrets, instantly pushing Qi Renjia into the eye of the storm.
If he wanted to silence public opinion, he first had to kill Qi Jiang.
Afterward, he could simply announce to the world that all of this had been fabricated by Qi Jiang in an attempt to seize power.
Whether people believed it or not did not matter.
An explanation was necessary regardless!
The powerful shockwaves from the battle between the two instantly reduced the Qi family estate to ruins.
The God Clan members who had come to celebrate the birthday all sensed the danger and hurriedly retreated far away.
This was the Qi family’s internal affair. Naturally, it was best left for the Qi family themselves to handle!
As for the Qi family’s own God Clan members, they fell into hesitation.
On one side stood the family head.
On the other stood the future heir of the Qi family, Young Master Qi Jiang.
Logically speaking, Qi Jiang was not yet the family head, so they should stand beside Qi Renjia.
But what if?
What if everything Qi Jiang said was true? What if all those missing Qi family members had truly died at the hands of the family head?
If that were the case, was such a family head still worthy of their loyalty?
So when it came to actually helping either side, none of them could make up their minds for the moment.
Unfortunately, they were not given much time to think!
Very soon, four masked men dressed in black robes appeared in the four cardinal directions.
They were dead soldiers raised by Qi Renjia himself, loyal only to the family head’s commands.
The moment the four appeared, they immediately released their Dao seals. A blue barrier enveloped both Qi Renjia and Qi Jiang within it.
Then they turned toward everyone present and coldly shouted, “All God Clan members present, regardless of whether you belong to the Qi family or not, retreat one hundred li away immediately. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!”
Hearing this, the Qi family members and the remaining God Clan cultivators exchanged glances.
In the end, however, they obediently left.
There was no denying that this was an enormous scandal in the Qi family’s history. Naturally, they did not want outsiders learning too much.
Including members of the Qi family themselves.
Some people obeyed.
Not everyone did.
Ye Yu and Han Yuexi had already sensed that something was wrong from the very beginning and had withdrawn over a hundred meters away beforehand.
But now these four men wanted everyone to retreat a full hundred li?
How could that work?
They had remained here specifically to wait for Han Qianzhang to appear.
If they withdrew a hundred li away, then what exactly would they still be waiting for?
So even after all the surrounding God Clan members had departed, Ye Yu and Han Yuexi did not move a single step.
The four Qi family dead soldiers all shifted their gazes onto them.
Murderous intent surged from their bodies as they coldly declared, “Leave, or die!”
In an instant, the pressure of four Ancient God Realm experts crashed down upon them!
Han Yuexi’s expression stiffened.
With only Golden God Realm cultivation, she truly was insignificant before four Ancient God Realm powerhouses!
Ye Yu immediately stepped in front of her and forcefully endured the pressure. Just as he was about to speak—
a figure suddenly appeared and instantly killed the dead soldier positioned in the west!
The newcomer was none other than the long absent Han Qianzhang!
At this moment, his posture stood straight and tall, while fluctuations of early stage Ancient God Realm divine power radiated from his body.
One had to know that Han Gu had only met with him a few days earlier.
At that time, Han Qianzhang had still been in the Golden God Realm.
Yet in such a short period of time, he had already stepped into the Ancient God Realm.
It was simply unbelievable!
After killing one dead soldier, Han Qianzhang did not stop moving. Instead, he charged toward the dead soldier in the south!
Very quickly, the two sides clashed fiercely together.
Seeing this, Han Yuexi could not help stepping forward, wanting to take him away immediately!
But Ye Yu stopped her.
“Don’t go over there yet. Han Qianzhang is very dangerous right now.”
From Han Qianzhang’s body, Ye Yu could clearly sense an aura that was not unfamiliar.
Ancient violent energy!
Why did Han Qianzhang possess such an aura?
Could it be that whoever was controlling his mind was also trying to cultivate him into a violent slaughtering dead soldier?
Very soon, in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, all four Qi family dead soldiers had died at Han Qianzhang’s hands.
And the price he paid amounted to nothing more than several insignificant wounds.
Without the dead soldiers maintaining the divine power stabilizing it, the blue barrier slowly dissipated.
A blood covered figure was thrown out from inside!
That person was Qi Jiang!
Han Qianzhang merely watched as Qi Jiang crashed heavily to the ground at his feet, showing not the slightest intention of catching him.
He only observed coldly in silence.
Qi Renjia, standing in the distance, was not in good condition either. His entire right arm had vanished, and his face was deathly pale.
“Madman. You’re truly a madman! Wouldn’t it have been fine to obediently become the heir of the Qi family? Why did you insist on tearing apart this peaceful life?
If my reputation is destroyed, what benefit does that bring to you or the Qi family?”
Qi Jiang struggled to his feet and said in a trembling voice, “You used our clansmen to preserve your own life. I could tolerate that.
But you should never, under any circumstances, have laid a hand on my mother!
Do you know how deeply she loved you?
To avenge her, even if I have to drag the entire Qi family down with me, I won’t hesitate!”
“You?” Qi Renjia sneered. “And you think you’re worthy? Once I kill you, the Qi family will still remain the same Qi family. Nothing will change!”
Qi Renjia took out a Divine Pill and swallowed it. His complexion immediately improved significantly.
Qi Jiang smiled bitterly and raised his hand to point at Han Qianzhang.
“I know I’m not your opponent, so I found outside help. He was sent by Duan Nianzhi. You should know very well that Duan Nianzhi has always coveted that item of our Qi family!”
Qi Renjia’s expression changed instantly.
“You’ve gone mad. You truly have gone mad! Cooperating with a tiger for its skin—how dare you?”
Before he could even finish speaking, Han Qianzhang transformed into a streak of light and shot toward him!
The shockwaves produced by their clash instantly caused Qi Jiang to cough up blood violently!
Clearly, the life of this young master of the Qi family was already nearing its end.
Ye Yu slightly raised his hand and dragged Qi Jiang back toward himself.
This was not some sudden burst of compassion to save Qi Jiang’s life.
He intended to make a deal!
Ye Yu took out a Divine Pill and placed it before Qi Jiang.
“Tell me how to control Han Qianzhang. If you speak, I’ll heal your injuries right now and help you kill that cold blooded father of yours. How about it?”
Hearing this, Qi Jiang shook his head.
“I have no way to control Han Qianzhang. The reason he works for me is mainly because Duan Nianzhi is controlling him. I already told you—if you want him to recover his sanity, you must find Duan Nianzhi!”
Ye Yu said helplessly, “And where exactly am I supposed to find Duan Nianzhi?”
Qi Jiang opened his mouth, just about to speak—
when he suddenly died.
The corners of Ye Yu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Did he really have to die that suddenly?
