The Han father and son turned back with fierce expressions.
Then they saw a gray-haired young man, hands behind his back, looking at them calmly.
Han Long's brows furrowed deeply.
He, Han Long, was no small figure in the royal city of Liuyun Kingdom, with connections to many powerful individuals and geniuses from prominent families. Yet, he searched his memory and could not recall ever seeing this person before.
What was this fellow, daring to point fingers at him? Was he tired of living?
As Han Long was contemplating this,
Han Xiaohan, who was usually arrogant and overbearing, lost his patience.
He squinted his eyes.
And looked down contemptuously at the gray-haired young man before him, whose cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Xuan Gang realm.
He let out a cold chuckle.
“Who are you, kid, daring to act tough in front of Young Master Han? What makes you think you’re so special! I don’t care who you are; just for that treasonous remark you made, I’ll count to three. If you’re not kneeling before me by then, I’ll make sure you have nowhere to be buried!”
After speaking, Han Xiaohan crossed his arms and watched the gray-haired young man with an air of leisure.
However, what made his anger surge was that
The gray-haired young man didn't even spare him a glance.
Just as he was about to react,
Suddenly, a terrifying and sharp sword energy erupted from behind the young man.
Pei Nanwei appeared.
Bowing, she asked Ling Fan, “Master, shall I deal with them?”
Pei Nanwei!
The moment they saw Pei Nanwei’s face, Han Long and Han Xiaohan felt a chill shoot up from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads.
Now, the name Pei Nanwei was known by everyone in the royal city of Liuyun Kingdom.
Not just because she was the number one sword genius of the Pei family.
But more so because she was the sword attendant of *that* person!
The monstrous talent who had single-handedly flattened the Pei family!
Could it be…
With this thought, Han Long and Han Xiaohan reluctantly turned their gazes towards the gray-haired young man, whose expression remained devoid of joy or sorrow.
Since Pei Nanwei was here,
And she called this gray-haired young man master,
Did they even need to guess this gray-haired young man’s identity?
It was obvious!
This formidable individual had just forced the Pei family, a colossal power, to bow down and submit.
They were truly unlucky.
*Thump.*
Han Long was instantly chilled to the bone.
He no longer cared about saving face. His knees slammed straight onto the ground.
Then, with his rear end sticking up high, he knelt before the gray-haired young man.
“This humble one, Han family head Han Long, pays his respects to Lord Ling Wang. This humble one was blind and did not recognize your esteemed presence. I have offended you greatly just now; this humble one deserves death! Please forgive me!”
Han Xiaohan was also terrified out of his wits and hurriedly followed his father, kneeling subserviently.
He kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
Jin Yuyao, Jiang Yong, and the others watched Han Long and his son, who had been so imposing moments ago, now cowering like nothing, and found it utterly absurd.
“Miss Jin is my friend. You dared to bully her?”
Ling Fan’s gaze was distant and profound as he looked at Wei Hong, the head of the Wei family, on the Wei Feng Lou.
He didn’t even glance at the Han father and son as he spoke indifferently.
“Ah? This Miss Jin is your friend!”
Han Long’s face was filled with extreme regret.
*Slap, slap, slap!*
He gritted his teeth and fiercely slapped himself on both cheeks repeatedly.
With a mouth full of blood, he apologized, “This humble one truly did not know. If this humble one had known Miss Jin was your friend, I wouldn’t have dared to threaten her even with the courage of a bear! Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter. I will apologize to Miss Jin for my rudeness until she is satisfied…”
Before Han Long could finish speaking,
Pei Nanwei’s expression turned as cold as frost. Sharp, peerless sword energy began to flow from her, and she coldly declared, “You dared to disrespect my master, so you must pay the price for your blindness.”
Han Long was suddenly startled.
From Pei Nanwei, he felt a bone-chilling killing intent and a sense of danger.
He couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Wasn’t Pei Nanwei’s cultivation only at the peak of the Xuan Gang realm?
But the cultivation fluctuations emanating from her now clearly indicated she had entered the Tian Yuan realm!
How was this possible!
He quickly mobilized all his strength, intending to block Pei Nanwei’s sword.
However, a brilliant sword light flashed. Han Long’s meticulously constructed Tian Yuan force defenses shattered instantly. A horrifying sword mark appeared on his body, and the divine light in his eyes rapidly dimmed.
“Father!”
Seeing his father, Han Long, who was in the middle stage of the Tian Yuan realm, being killed by Pei Nanwei’s single sword strike, Han Xiaohan trembled uncontrollably and collapsed onto the ground. A foul odor emanated from beneath him.
He scrambled to escape.
But a sword intent descended directly behind him, instantly annihilating his consciousness.
Han Long and his son.
Were dead…
—–
The commotion here quickly attracted many gazes.
Many people frowned and looked in this direction.
Today was a grand occasion for the Wei family. How dare someone cause trouble and fight at the Wei family’s Fish and Dragon Banquet? Were they tired of living!
It wasn’t just them who noticed.
Some powerful figures from the Wei family also noticed.
But before they could figure out what was happening,
Ling Fan strode forward, his voice like rolling thunder echoing out.
“Husband of Lan Xueyi, Ling Fan of Jiangnan City has arrived. All members of the Wei family, come out and face death!”
*Boom!*
At that moment,
The entire venue fell silent. All the powerhouses seemed to have been struck by heavenly lightning, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
The name Ling Fan seemed to possess a terrifying magic, instantly stirring everyone’s emotions.
Ling Fan!
The same Ling Fan who had just forced the Pei family to bow down and submit…
He had actually come to cause trouble for the Wei family.
And judging by his words, it seemed there was an irreconcilable feud between him and the Wei family.
Now, there would be good entertainment!
Jin Yuyao and Jiang Yong stared blankly at Ling Fan’s back, feeling that this not-so-tall figure seemed to tower as high as the heavens, radiating a majestic power that dared not be looked at directly.
