Chapter 198: Explosion

Tomorrow is the day of the Alchemy Masters’ Conference hosted by the Feng family.Tonight in Yunmeng City, too many people are destined to be sleepless.

In a side hall, Feng Mingyan and several high-level members of the Feng family gathered here.

Even Hong Yi, who had been drinking with him during the day, was present.

“Today, that slut Bai Susu actually dared to walk alongside Feng Qingya, openly taking her side. It’s clear that she’s chosen to stand with her. With the resources in her hands, if she’s determined to help Feng Qingya, there might be unexpected surprises tomorrow.”

Feng Mingyan’s face was gloomy.

He paused, then continued, “Moreover, if Feng Qingya doesn’t have a powerful alchemy master by her side, would she even need Bai Susu’s resources?”

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Feng Baozhao, who was sitting at the head of the table: “Father, is it possible that the ancestors will really make an appearance after the Alchemy Masters’ Conference?”

As soon as he said this, Hong Yi’s expression changed, and he stood up abruptly.

“I have something to say to the Feng family,” he said. “I sent some people to teach those country bumpkins a lesson, but they came back with broken arms and legs. Feng Qingya’s power might not be as weak as we thought.”

Hong Yi was trying to curry favor.

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Feng Mingyan’s response and continued, “I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to. I won’t bother you anymore. Uncle, nephew will take his leave!”

Hong Yi bowed to Feng Baozhao and quickly exited the hall.

This guy might be a bit of a dandy, but he wasn’t a complete fool.

As the conversation continued, many of the Feng family’s secrets would be revealed to him.

Perhaps Feng Mingyan and the others wouldn’t mind sharing the information with him, but he didn’t dare to listen.

Once he heard those secrets, he would be bound to the Feng family.

Hong Yi might not be the brightest, but he was a legitimate member of the Hong family.

The Hong family was a prominent family in Yunmeng City, but they couldn’t compare to the Feng family. He didn’t want to ruin the Hong family’s future because of his own actions.

“Heh, this guy is really cowardly.”

Feng Mingyan sneered as he watched Hong Yi leave.

Feng Baozhao nodded in agreement: “This kid doesn’t have much future in cultivation, but he has a bit of cleverness. Let’s take it slow, and eventually, we’ll be able to control him. If we can use him to get the Hong family’s resources, that would be even better.”

Feng Baozhao spoke calmly, then his expression turned serious as he began to answer Feng Mingyan’s previous question.

“We don’t know if the ancestors will make an appearance or not, but regardless, it’s most important to control the top three spots in the Alchemy Masters’ Conference.”

Before Feng Mingyan and the others could ask more questions, Feng Baozhao continued, “Even a lion must use its full strength to catch a rabbit. Although our elder brother’s lineage only has Feng Qingya left, and she can’t stir up much trouble, I still don’t want any unexpected surprises to occur.”

As soon as he said this, the expressions of all the high-ranking members of the Feng family in the hall changed abruptly.

One of them anxiously asked, “Patriarch, isn’t this plan a bit too risky? If the ancestor knows about it, the consequences might be severe. And what about the Golden Core assassins we sent earlier? Their soul tokens were directly shattered…”

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Baozhao interrupted him, “That’s why I didn’t tell you to launch a full-scale attack on Spirit Sound Inn. I just want to find an opportunity.”

“That guy from earlier didn’t even know who he was following and got killed by Mu Lao. Who can blame anyone but themselves for their own foolishness?”

Feng Baozhao’s tone was severe, and he didn’t seem to care about the failure of the previous day. He even knew about the two assassins sent by Hong Yi.

In his opinion, this was simply stupid.

He also unconsciously attributed all the failures to Mu Lao’s doing.

Then he continued, “And another thing, I’m just the acting patriarch, so please call me acting patriarch! I just hope that after this Alchemy Masters’ Conference, the ‘acting’ part can be removed.”

As he spoke, Feng Baozhao’s tone turned gloomy, and his aura became more intimidating.

The hall fell into silence, and there were no more opposing voices.

Only Feng Mingyan’s excited expression grew even more intense.

“Alright, I think I’ve made myself clear. Time is running out, so let’s get to it.”

…

After finishing their alchemy, Su Jingzhen and Xuening discussed their gains in his room for a long time.

After preparing everything, Xuening smiled and said to Su Jingzhen, “Today, I’ve gained a lot from discussing with you, Master Su. It’s getting late, so let’s rest for a while. We might need to head to the Alchemy Masters’ Conference venue early tomorrow morning.”

“Alright! But I don’t know how many days the Alchemy Masters’ Conference will last, or if Master Su will have a chance to take action tomorrow.”

Su Jingzhen smiled and saw Xuening off at the door.

“Boom!”

But at that moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from within Spirit Sound Inn!

The ground beneath Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s feet began to shake violently.

The powerful energy emanating from the explosion seemed to be destroying the entire inn.

The walls began to crack and crumble.

Xuening, who had just stepped out, quickly retreated back into Su Jingzhen’s room.

Both of their faces turned grave.

“What’s going on? What’s happening?”

“Who’s attacking?”

“Damn it, can’t they let people rest in peace? What’s the point of causing such a commotion in the middle of the night?”

“…”

The entire Spirit Sound Inn was thrown into chaos. Seaʀch* The NôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Panic and curses filled the air.

Not only the inn, but also the surrounding streets, were filled with cultivators rushing out of their homes.

The scene was one of complete chaos.

Su Jingzhen felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Spirit Sound Inn was one of the highest-rated inns in Yunmeng City.

An explosion of this magnitude was no accident; there must be a sinister plot behind it!

And at this moment, he also had a faint feeling that this incident might be targeting them.

“Xuening, stay here with me and don’t go anywhere. Be careful and wait for Mu Lao to come find us!”

Su Jingzhen immediately told Xuening.

At this chaotic moment, only Mu Lao’s arrival could bring them a sense of security.

“Boom!”

Just as he finished speaking, an even more intense explosion rocked the inn.

The violent energy destroyed all the restrictive arrays set up in the inn.

The entire inn began to collapse!
