724: Chapter 713: Kill Ning Fan, The Plot Begins 724: Chapter 713: Kill Ning Fan, The Plot Begins On the third day after Teng Huayang and Teng Dong were captured, the Yunteng family in Zang City realized that they had lost contact with the two men, who seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
Consequently, certain people began to worry.
When Shangguan Tanglong of Jiangcheng was asked where the two had gone, he immediately informed the Yunteng family about the overnight rush of the two men to Zhonghai.
Upon learning that his son Teng Huayang had gone to Zhonghai and then disappeared, Teng Zhuhai’s expression turned exceptionally grim as he sat in his study, the entire atmosphere chilling as if the temperature in the room had dropped significantly.
Teng Huayang was his beloved son and the next Family Head.
Teng Zhuhai had high expectations for this son.
He had agreed to let Teng Huayang go out as a form of training, for the saying goes, a sharp sword becomes sharper with grinding.
In Zang City, no one dared to provoke Teng Huayang, who was prospering smoothly in his growth.
“Missing in Zhonghai—Teng Zhong, any news from Teng Dong?”
Teng Zhuhai narrowed his eyes and asked Teng Zhong, who was standing by the study’s doorway.
The Yunteng family’s five great masters corresponded to the five directions: east, south, west, north, and center, each possessing the strength of the Object-Manipulating Realm’s Intermediate Stage.
To ensure Teng Huayang’s safety this time, Teng Zhuhai had specifically placed Teng Dong by Teng Huayang’s side to prevent any danger from befalling him.
Unexpectedly, only a few days had passed, and there was already no news of his son Teng Huayang.
Teng Zhong respectfully walked up to the desk, his expression somewhat awkward as he replied, “Master, there’s also no news from Teng Dong!”
With neither person having any news, both Teng Huayang and Teng Dong disappeared after going to Zhonghai.
“With Teng Dong’s strength, what do you think has happened to them?”
Teng Zhuhai asked, his eyes gleaming with a harsh light.
The questioned Teng Zhong pondered for a moment before responding, “Zhonghai is where Ning Fan is located.
It’s possible that the young master and Teng Dong have encountered him!”
This trip, besides dealing with the Shangguan Family’s issue in Jiangcheng, Teng Huayang and Teng Dong were also tasked to investigate Ning Fan.
Now that both have disappeared in Zhonghai, which is Ning Fan’s location, they had every reason to suspect that they might have run into Ning Fan.
“Ning Fan?” Teng Zhuhai’s curiosity regarding this name transformed into a deep intent to kill.
If it really was Ning Fan who had acted against Teng Huayang and Teng Dong, then this matter would escalate to a feud between the Yunteng family and Ning Fan, and would no longer concern the Shangguan family.
“Daring to strike against my Yunteng family, this Ning Fan really is interesting!”
Teng Zhuhai said with a grin that did not reach his eyes, chuckling as he looked at Teng Zhong.
Watching Teng Zhuhai’s smirk, Teng Zhong sweated coldly behind his back.
Having served Teng Zhuhai for so long, he was certainly aware of how furious Teng Zhuhai was feeling inside.
Teng Huayang was the Young Master of the Yunteng family and the biological son of the man before him.
Now that Teng Huayang was facing dangers in Zhonghai, it was only through restraint that Teng Zhuhai had not immediately rushed there to wreak havoc.
“I originally thought that Shangguan Tanglong was deceiving me, but it turns out that this Ning Fan is indeed incredibly arrogant—just not sure if he has the strength or if he’s simply ignorant of our Yunteng family, arrogantly presumptuous.
Hmph!”
Teng Zhuhai’s eyes flashed with cold brilliance, his face contorting into a menacing grimace.
A wave of dominance surged, making the atmosphere in the study extremely tense.
Even Teng Zhong, who was at the Intermediate Stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm, felt uneasy in the presence of Teng Zhuhai’s dominance.
Teng Zhong stood obediently in front of the desk, not daring to speak out of turn for fear of mispeaking and inciting Teng Zhuhai’s wrath.
Every servant in the Yunteng Family knew one thing: their Family Head, Teng Zhuhai, was incredibly cruel.
Enamored with Evil Gu, Teng Zhuhai was fickle, sometimes appearing happy only to strike with a slap the next moment.
Many servants died because they couldn’t foresee Teng Zhuhai’s thoughts, ultimately perishing miserably under the Gu Insects, their marrow sucked dry on the spot.
“You will go to Zhonghai with Teng Xi; you must bring back Huayang and Teng Dong.
I will deal with Teng Dong personally!”
Teng Zhuhai’s face changed, his eyes wide as lanterns, showcasing just how furious he was.
Now that Teng Huayang and Teng Dong were missing in Zhonghai, it was highly possible that they had fallen into Ning Fan’s hands.
And since Teng Zhuhai knew very little about Ning Fan, he was also uncertain if Ning Fan would disregard Yunteng Family’s stature and directly endanger Teng Huayang’s life, so at this moment, Teng Zhuhai, as a father, was extremely anxious.
Teng Zhong bowed with clasped hands and then asked, “What about Ning Fan?”
Mentioning Ning Fan worsened Teng Zhuhai’s mood; his expression gradually steadied as if he was considering something.
After a moment, Teng Zhuhai finally spoke to Teng Zhong, “If you have the ability, then bring back that Ning Fan’s head.”
Since Ning Fan dared to anger the Yunteng Family, he must pay the price.
According to Shangguan Tanglong, Ning Fan had the strength of the Intermediate Stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm.
Therefore, Teng Zhuhai didn’t believe he couldn’t capture this Ning Fan with the talents of Teng Zhong and Teng Xi, who were also at the Intermediate Stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm.
However, just as Teng Zhuhai had finished speaking, he recalled something else Shangguan Tanglong said: initially, Ning Fan alone had infiltrated the Shangguan Family, incapacitated many of its experts, including Shangguan Tenglong, and even defeated Shangguan Tanglong.
This narrative gave Teng Zhuhai some reservations.
If Ning Fan truly managed all this with the strength of the Intermediate Stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm, then this person was indeed extraordinarily demonic.
Teng Zhuhai grew worried.
What if Teng Zhong and Teng Xi couldn’t handle Ning Fan?
What then?
After thinking it over, Teng Zhuhai added, “The safety of Huayang is paramount.
When you go to Zhonghai this time, you must bring back Huayang.
As for Ning Fan…
forget it.
If you can kill him, then do it; if not, just bring Huayang back directly!”
Having already lost Teng Dong in Zhonghai, he didn’t want Teng Zhong and Teng Xi to suffer the same fate.
Teng Zhuhai now didn’t dare underestimate Ning Fan’s strength.
Teng Zhong looked up, wanting to say something, but after noticing Teng Zhuhai’s gaze, he ultimately swallowed his words.
Just as Teng Zhong was about to retreat, the door to the study was suddenly pushed open, and a tall young woman walked in.
“Father, let me go to Zhonghai.
I will bring back our brother!”
Teng Feiyue rushed in, already informed of Teng Huayang’s situation.
She was immensely worried about Teng Huayang and eager to rescue him.
Seeing his daughter come in and speak of it, Teng Zhuhai’s face changed, and he immediately yelled, “Nonsense!”
It seemed Teng Zhuhai didn’t want his daughter to go because, with the precedents of Teng Huayang and Teng Zhong, he didn’t feel secure about letting Teng Feiyue go to Zhonghai either.
