Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 512: Chapter 511: Intense Conflict

The magnificent and imposing City Lord’s Mansion.

A young man in black robes sat with his eyes closed, resting on the high main seat.

Numerous tables were laden with Half-Spirit Fruits and fine wine.

But the great hall was completely empty, without a single guest.

Today was Qin Feng’s first day in office. As was customary, the City Lord’s Mansion had sent invitations to the leaders of all the major powers in the city.

However, it was now nearly noon, and not a single leader from any power had arrived.

At the entrance, the three Elders—Qin Qingyun, Qin Qinghong, and Qin Qingyue—frowned, their gazes occasionally shifting to the Sun Dial not far away.

"Not a single person has come?"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Qingyun’s eyes as he stood by the door.

’It seems they’re dead set on opposing the Venerable Lord!’

Outside the gates, the other members of the Qin Family looked grim.

When the master is honored, the servants are honored; when the master is shamed, the servants die!

...

Meanwhile, the leaders of Yunhu City’s Five Great Families—the Qi, Li, Lin, Wang, and Gao Families—were gathered together.

At that moment, the hearty laughter of Wang Yan, the Wang Family Patriarch, echoed from the main hall.

"What kind of expression do you think that little brat is wearing right now? Seeing his little gathering with no guests, he must be absolutely fuming!"

The Gao Family Patriarch, Gao Yanfang, gave a cold smile.

"Who does that little brat think he is? An Inner Sect Disciple of the Star Sect doesn’t mean much on our turf in Yunhu City. As the saying goes, a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake. He tried to make an example of the Three Gangs and Four Sects as soon as he arrived, but he picked the wrong target!"

The backer of the Three Gangs and Four Sects was none other than the Gao Family.

The Lin Family Patriarch nodded. "He’s just a child. So what if he placed in the top three of the Star Martial Arts Assembly? This isn’t the All Stars Academy!"

The Qi Family Patriarch, Qi Kaishan, said faintly, "This kid doesn’t know his place. He should know that our Five Great Families have been running Yunhu City for hundreds of years. We’re not someone he can shake. In the end, Yunhu City belongs to us, the Five Great Families, not some snot-nosed brat!"

"We should all be prepared," the Li Family Patriarch said with a frown. "That Qin Feng is young and hot-headed. After being snubbed by us, I’m afraid he won’t let this go."

SLAM!

The Qi Family Patriarch slammed his hand on the table and shot up from his seat.

He sneered. "I hope he does come. Yunhu City isn’t just any place. It’s not somewhere a mere Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist can run wild. If he doesn’t show up, fine. But if he dares to come here and act presumptuously, we will certainly teach him his place!"

"If he still doesn’t know what’s good for him, it’s a common occurrence for people to disappear in Yunhu City!"

Hearing this, the other patriarchs exchanged glances and shared a sinister smile.

Yunhu City was a juicy piece of meat, but it already had owners.

The Five Great Families were the masters of this land.

Only the Five Great Families were the Dominators of Yunhu City.

There was no need for a City Lord...

...

On the main seat, Qin Feng stood up. He strode down from the throne and appeared at the entrance in just a few steps.

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

With a grim expression, Qin Qingyun asked, "Venerable Lord, what do we do now?"

Qin Feng replied faintly, "Since they won’t come to us, we will naturally go to them. Bring out the list. We’ll pay them a visit, one by one!"

As he said the words "pay them a visit," a cold smirk played on Qin Feng’s lips, and he deliberately emphasized his tone.

Qin Qingyun understood.

"Also, bring the evidence we’ve gathered from the common people about how the Five Great Families have plagued Yunhu City and tyrannized its citizens. We absolutely cannot tolerate these lawless, evil-doing families!"

Qin Qingyun and Qin Qinghong exchanged a look, a flash of understanding in their eyes.

Clearly, the attitude of the Five Great Families had thoroughly enraged their Venerable Lord.

"Venerable Lord, where shall we go first?"

"To catch a thief, first catch the king. Although Yunhu City has many deeply entrenched powers—countless minor families, merchant guilds, prominent households, and gangs—there are only five true leaders: the Five Great Families. As for making an example of someone, the Three Gangs and Four Sects of the West Market are just insignificant clowns. They don’t carry enough weight!"

"This time, we’re going straight for the Five Great Families!"

Half an hour later, at the estate of the Wang Family, one of the Five Great Families.

Carved railings and jade masonry, magnificent and beautiful—the estate was as grand as a royal prince’s mansion.

"What an imposing and magnificent sight!" Qin Qingyun remarked, his eyes wide with surprise as he stared at the mansion before them.

"Yes. I wonder how much of the people’s blood, sweat, and tears they plundered to build it."

With a flicker in his gaze, Qin Feng’s eyes fixed on the main gate.

BOOM!

The main gate shattered with a deafening crash.

"Who is it?! You must have a death wish, eating arsenic on your birthday! How dare you smash the Wang Family’s gate!" A moment later, the sound of frantic, angry footsteps came from within the Wang estate.

Accompanied by several sharp shouts, a few figures appeared outside the gate.

Seeing Qin Feng, the leader of the group shouted, "Who are you?! How dare you trespass on the Wang Family’s estate? Surrender at once!"

With that, he lunged at Qin Feng.

"A bunch of small fry." Shaking his head, Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed, and the attacking figures were instantly frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

The Innate Divine Power of Ocean Control erupted.

CLANG! CLANG! The figures turned into blocks of ice and fell to the ground.

"This is bad! Quick, inform the Elders! The enemy is powerful!"

"He’s broken in!"

"Kill this maniac!"

Shocked expressions appeared one after another. The renowned Wang Family of Yunhu City had actually been invaded.

But more than shock, there was rage and killing intent.

Qin Feng’s expression was calm as he strode into the Wang estate, his Innate Divine Ability of Ocean Control continuously flaring.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

One after another, the ferocious figures who were shouting and charging at him were turned into solid blocks of ice, falling to the ground with a series of THUDS.

Just then, several figures shot out from the shadows, their fierce gusts of power cutting through the air with a whistling sound.

These were experts of the Condensing Vein Realm.

An icy chill condensed in his eyes.

BANG!

In an instant, the figures were transformed into ice and fell.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Three figures rushed out from the inner residence.

They were three middle-aged men, and three waves of Void Power fluctuated around them. These were three Martial Artists of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

With harsh expressions, the three men swept their gazes around, instantly locking onto the black-robed youth who was striding into the courtyard.

The leader, a middle-aged man in green robes who looked like a scholar, shouted with a dark expression, "Who are you, sir, and why have you trespassed in our Wang Family’s estate!"

"My name is Qin Feng, the new City Lord of Yunhu City. I heard that your Wang Family looks down on me, so I’ve come especially to seek your guidance!"

The City Lord of Yunhu City?

The three middle-aged men were stunned and drew in a sharp breath.

Immediately after, a surge of anger rose from the depths of their hearts.

’Damn it, how dare this Qin Feng be so bold! Isn’t he afraid our Wang Family’s ancestor will come out of seclusion and flay him alive?!’

’This little bastard has some nerve!’

’He dares to make a move on our Wang Family! We must show him how formidable we are!’

The leader, Wang Family Grand Elder Wang Qian Nian, looked grim. "City Lord, those are just rumors!"

"Is that so? Then why didn’t you come to the City Lord’s Mansion to pay your respects after receiving my invitation? Isn’t that a clear sign that you look down on me and want to oppose me?"

Qin Feng’s face was dark. He had already condensed his True Soul, and when his aura erupted, it was no weaker than that of some top-tier Martial Arts Giants.

The immense aura caused the clouds above the Wang estate to churn and change color, while thunder rumbled.

Numerous Wang Family disciples rushed out from all directions. Seeing this strange phenomenon, a chill crept into their hearts.

The three leading Elders had grim faces. Wang Qian Nian’s tone grew cold. "Qin Feng, are you truly determined to make an enemy of my Wang Family? You must understand that even though you are the City Lord of Yunhu City, you are ultimately an outsider!"

He sized Qin Feng up, a sneer flashing in his eyes. "A mere Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist might be considered a major figure elsewhere, but you should know that there is always a heaven beyond the heavens, and always someone stronger. For our Five Great Families, dealing with a Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist is as simple as crushing an ant on the ground!"
