Chapter 276: A Fire That Burns Through

Since the moment Feng Xuan emerged from seclusion, he had become the sole heaven of the Feng family. No one dared to oppose his word.

After this hunt order was issued, the entire Yunmeng City, though vast, might no longer have a place for Feng Baozhao and his people.

Starting yesterday, the Feng family had become the focus of all forces in Yunmeng City, as well as every wandering cultivator.

At this time, within the Feng family’s mansion, people were being driven out in droves.

These were all the family members of the core members of Feng Baozhao’s lineage, as well as their clan relatives.

“What is the Feng family doing?

These people all seem to come from Feng Baozhao’s lineage.

It seems that after the Feng family’s ancestor emerged from seclusion, Feng Baozhao’s lineage has completely fallen.

And it seems even more cruel than we imagined.”

“It is said that just before, the Feng family had already executed a batch of core members of Feng Baozhao’s lineage.

Even Feng Li, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, was not spared.

The Feng family’s ancestor is truly formidable!”

“But over the years, Feng Baozhao’s lineage had become very powerful within the Feng family. Those who didn’t support Feng Baozhao have been suppressed for years.”

“Wouldn’t the Feng family’s overall strength be reduced by half?”

“Could the Feng family with this level of strength hold onto their current assets and resources?”

“Hehe, there’s no need for everyone to worry about this.

Although the Feng family has lost a lot of its core strength, it has Feng Xuan, who is at the Soul Formation late stage, or even stronger, sitting in command!

Even if those who manage their assets outside are weaker, who would dare to offend the current Feng family? Wouldn’t that be courting death?”

“…”

The pavilions not far from the Feng family’s mansion were already crowded with people, and many were discussing this matter.

As for those Feng family members who were driven out, no force dared to take them in.

After all, even the three major forces had many people imprisoned in the Feng family’s dungeons.

Who would dare to offend Feng Xuan at this time? Those people imprisoned in the dungeons would probably never be released.

No one would doubt the courage of a cultivator at least at the Soul Formation late stage.

After being driven out of the Feng family, these people did not dare to stay in Yunmeng City.

They knew that no force would take them in. The displaced people, miserable and desperate, headed towards the outskirts of Yunmeng City.

There were men, women, old and young, all with a look of bewilderment in their eyes.

They had no idea where to go next.

Many felt a deep sense of injustice, because they didn’t even know what Feng Baozhao’s lineage had done.

But the leaders or family members of their branch had benefited from their dealings with Feng Baozhao, and those benefits had also reached them.

So there was no question of absolute innocence.

Even if Feng Xuan had been more ruthless and directly wiped them out, no one would have spoken up for them.

The departure of these people would inevitably make the Feng family extremely pure.

The Feng family’s resources were redistributed, and positions were constantly changing.

However, all of this was irrelevant to Su Jingzhen and the others.

They had already witnessed everything in the grand hall.

Now, led by Feng Qingya, Su Jingzhen, Xuening, and Mu Lu left the Feng family’s mansion directly.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, Su Jingzhen and the others saw representatives from various forces standing silently at the entrance.

These were representatives of the forces who had come to redeem their people from the Feng family.

They had been there for a long time and had reported many times.

However, following Feng Xuan’s instructions, no one was willing to pay any attention to them.

Of course, none of the remaining core members of the Feng family had the time to deal with them.

When they saw Feng Qingya emerge, these representatives hurried forward, ready to talk to Feng Qingya.

After the fall of Feng Baozhao’s lineage, Feng Qingya naturally shed her former distress and became one of the most respected people in the Feng family.

However, seeing these people approaching, Feng Qingya did not give them any attention.

She took Su Jingzhen and Xuening towards the direction of Mingyan Mansion.

Soon, the four of them stood directly at the entrance of Mingyan Mansion.

Looking at the plaque hanging above, Feng Qingya narrowed her eyes, lost in thought.

Su Jingzhen, on the other hand, felt a tinge of nostalgia, recalling their first arrival in Yunmeng City when they had come here first.

Back then, they hadn’t even been allowed to enter this gate.

In just a few days, it had returned to Feng Qingya’s hands.

However, at this moment, Feng Qingya did not choose to push open the door.

Instead, she made a decision that surprised Su Jingzhen and the others.

“Mu Lao, help me burn this place down!”

At her words, not only Mu Lao was stunned, but Su Jingzhen and Xuening looked at her in bewilderment.

“Feng Mingyan lived here, it’s dirty!”

“Burning it down is a way to completely say goodbye to the past.

From today onwards, a new Qingya Mansion will be built!

It’s also my rebirth!”

Su Jingzhen could notice that there was a hint of liberation in Feng Qingya’s words as she spoke.

Her eyes were even slightly moist.

Hearing her words, Mu Lao no longer hesitated and nodded silently.

Then, he directly flew his artifact into the air and stood above Mingyan Mansion.

He pinched the seal in his hand, and a large fireball instantly fell on Mingyan Mansion.

The flames instantly engulfed the vast Mingyan Mansion completely.

The firelight reflected the rising sun in the sky, bathing the entire Yunmeng City in a crimson glow.

At this time, on a mountain some distance from Yunmeng City,

Five figures stood there.

They watched silently at the intense firelight above Yunmeng City.

“That place should be Mingyan Mansion, it’s truly burned to ashes.

It seems they have dealt with everything.”

These five people were none other than Feng Baozhao and several of the most core members of his lineage.

They had escaped in advance and left Yunmeng City immediately, so they were not caught by Feng Xuan and the others.

As for the ten or so people who had been executed earlier, except for Feng Li, they were all pawns deliberately arranged by Feng Baozhao.

Feng Baozhao knew very well that if these ten pawns remained there, whether it was Feng Xuan or Feng Lie, they would not have pursued them with all their might yesterday.

Of course, those ten people would probably never know until their death that they had been sold out by Feng Baozhao.

As Feng Baozhao was reflecting, an old man beside him had endless resentment in his eyes.

“Patriarch, is this how we end it?

If we continue to lurk back into Yunmeng City and make a move in secret, we might be able to capture that little bitch Feng Qingya.”

At this time, they naturally attributed everything to Feng Qingya.

Hearing this, Feng Baozhao shook his head: “What then? What can we do?

Now that the ancestor has emerged from seclusion and is guarding everything, we have no chance at all.

The only thing I wonder is how that rebellious son of mine arranged it?

Even the four juniors were not intercepted at the ancestor’s seclusion site?

Or maybe that bastard simply didn’t arrange enough manpower.”

At this point, Feng Baozhao and his group were still unaware of Su Jingzhen’s cultivation level, which had reached the Flesh Body Golden Embryo stage.

After all, Su Jingzhen had never revealed his Flesh Body Golden Embryo strength in public.

And naturally, none of the people around him could answer this question. seaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He then asked: “By the way, where is that bastard now? Any news?

Given the current situation, that bastard should have been aware of the fall of those he sent in sooner than us and escaped first.”

As he spoke, Feng Baozhao’s eyes narrowed, and a faint killing intent appeared on his body.

However, no one could answer him.

The few of them watched the firelight for a while longer in silence.

“Patriarch, are we going to Holy City now? Perhaps the Tuoba family can still help us.

After all, they were also supposed to be on our side.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a smile appeared on the corner of Feng Baozhao’s mouth.

“If we were in power, the Tuoba family would naturally be on our side.

After all, a free vassal, who can indirectly control Yunmeng City, they would naturally be happy to accept us.

But now, what are we?

Just stray dogs.

If we go directly to the Tuoba family in Holy City now, I’m afraid they will tie us up and send us back to Feng Xuan.”

After a self-deprecating laugh, Feng Baozhao said: “Let’s go, the cultivation world is so vast, with this level of cultivation, we can make a name for ourselves anywhere.

There’s no need to hang ourselves at Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

When we are powerful, we can return with force.

If we just fade into obscurity, then that’s our fate.”

He paused for a moment, then said: “Also, from now on, don’t call me Patriarch.”

After saying this, Feng Baozhao turned and no longer looked at Yunmeng City.

He flew his artifact towards the distant horizon.

Although Feng Baozhao had failed this time, his failure was mostly due to Feng Mingyan.

The bearing he showed at this moment also had the potential of a great and powerful leader.
