At that moment, Qin Yu quickly regained her composure and slowly walked to the seat of honor, offering a smile to the people below.
“I imagine none of you know me. My name is Qin Yu, from the Beijiang Qin Family. The reason I’ve asked you all here is twofold, the first is to get acquainted. The second is to inform everyone that from now on, the territory of the Xie Family will belong to our Qin Family!”
These domineering words made the people in the hall pause for a moment, before they erupted into a commotion.
“Miss Qin, isn’t your Beijiang Qin Family reaching too far?” someone sneered.
“Exactly, Beijiang and our provincial city have always kept to themselves. Suddenly, you strike and even annihilate the Xie Family. What does your Qin Family mean by this?”
These murmuring voices nearly drowned out Qin Yu.
A flicker of panic passed through Qin Yu’s eyes, but she still bit her lip and said, “We are all part of Huaxia, what do you mean our hand has reached too far?”
“No, this matter isn’t that simple!”
The crowd below began to clamor.
The Feng Family had been silent because they were waiting for the Shi Family’s reaction.
To their surprise, Shi Dong was calmly drinking tea, seemingly unmoved.
Feng Qi frowned. What was Shi Dong really planning?
At this moment, Feng Chaosi couldn’t hold back any longer.
He stood up with a playful smile, “Miss Qin, I think that a beautiful lady like you should be dining and drinking with me, and then finding a hotel to spend the night. You shouldn’t be getting involved in these matters.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many in the hall laughed.
Qin Yu’s expression gradually darkened.
“Please show some respect!”
Feng Chaosi chuckled then slowly toyed with the prayer beads in his hand, “If you want the Feng Family to respect you, that’s fine. We’ll take half of the Xie Family’s assets!”
This proposal made many faces in the crowd turn sour.
Everyone had their eye on the big piece of the pie that was the Xie Family’s legacy.
Now the Feng Family proposed to slice off half first, which meant others would get less.
Qin Yu laughed out of sheer anger, “What? Can your Feng Family be so domineering?”
“Whether it’s domineering or not isn’t for me to say, nor is it for you to say, but your Qin Family wiped out the Xie Family with a single strike and then forcefully took over the provincial city. Have you not heard the saying, ‘Even a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake’?” retorted Feng Chaosi coldly.
As his words fell, dozens of people stood up, with only Feng Qi and the seated Feng Chaochou in the back still not moving.
The atmosphere tensed up.
The Shi Family’s side was also showing signs of unrest.
Shi Hao’s second uncle leaned in towards Shi Dong and whispered, “Big brother, looking at the situation, this Qin Family girl is still green. Cornered step by step by the Feng Family, if we don’t make a stand now, we won’t have a share of the benefit later!”
Doubt showed on Shi Dong’s face.
But just then, a nonchalant voice came from the staircase.
“Indeed, a strong dragon does not oppress local snakes, but it depends on what kind of dragon and what kind of snake!”
All eyes turned to look.
They saw a man dressed plainly, yet with handsome and exceptional features and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, slowly walking down the stairs.
His appearance brought relief to the young lady of the Qin Family, who quickly approached and bowed respectfully, calling out.
“Mr. Xue!”
Mr. Xue!
He was Mr. Xue?
All were shocked.
There had always been rumors that this Mr. Xue possessed unfathomable Divine Skills.
The downfall of the Xie Family was also his doing.
But seeing him now, he didn’t appear to be anything special.
Many dismissed the rumors as exaggerated in their hearts.
Only Feng Chaochou and Shi Hao both shuddered simultaneously, terror flashing in their eyes.
Only they knew the terror of Xue An.
At this time, Feng Chaosi let out a slight sneer.
“Then do tell, what kind of dragon, what kind of snake?”
Xue An replied calmly, “If it were a Nine Heavens Divine Dragon facing a local grass snake, who do you think would win?”
Feng Chaosi’s face turned extremely unsightly, “Are you saying our Feng Family is that grass snake?”
This eerie scene
left everyone in the hall utterly terrified.
Shi Dong, who was already silently regretting, now turned stark white with horror.
What kind of nefarious technique was this?
At this moment, Xue An had already approached the Feng Family’s crowd.
He had taken a total of seven steps,
and beneath those seven steps, all the experts who had attacked him fell dead, not one survived.
Now Xue An stood in front of Feng Chaosi, smiling faintly.
“Now… are you convinced?”
Feng Chaosi felt a chill rise from his bones.
The scenario he had envisioned had not occurred.
Feng Chaosi had thought that these experts, even if they couldn’t beat Xue An, would at least injure him severely. Then, it would be his turn to defeat Xue An, and perhaps the significant share of the Xie Family’s bounty could be claimed solely by the Feng Family!
But in no way had he expected this man, without even lifting a finger, to turn all these experts to dust and smoke.
Feng Chaosi was at a loss for words, his mouth agape, clueless about what to say.
At this time, Feng Qi stood up, his demeanor shifting from arrogance to respect.
“Mr. Xue, my son is young and naive, please do not take offense at his words…”
Xue An didn’t even bother to lift his head, but simply raised his hand.
Slap!
After a slap, Feng Qi’s head was blown apart.
Brain tissue mixed with blood scattered on the ground, and his dead body collapsed with a thud.
“Did I allow you to speak?” Xue An said indifferently.
The scene left many people so astonished that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The proud head of the Feng Family, just because he spoke out of turn, was slapped to death?
This man… was ruthless!
