"Life token shattered?"
"Yuan Hua? The Zheng family?"
The two exchanged a glance. "The small family from the secular world?"
"Yes," the Second Elder nodded.
"What's going on? Are the people from the Zheng family trying to overthrow the heavens?" The Third Elder narrowed his eyes. While Yuan Hua wasn't a particularly important disciple to the sect, he was still an executor for their sect operating outside. His death was a direct insult to the prestige of their Lan Yun Sect!
A mere Zheng family, were they tired of living?!
"I don't think it's the Zheng family's doing, but rather that the Zheng family encountered something," the Second Elder shook his head. He was somewhat clear on the sequence of events. "If I recall correctly, the jade token left with the Zheng family for communication, once activated, signifies that the Zheng family has encountered a matter they cannot resolve themselves, and have chosen to become a subordinate of our Lan Yun Sect."
"Meaning, Yuan Hua was likely killed by someone else."
The Second Elder mused as he spoke. The Zheng family might not be much in their eyes, but he recalled that in the secular world, the Zheng family held a high status, and it would be difficult for anyone from the secular world to threaten them.
"Send a few disciples to investigate. The person who could kill Yuan Hua should possess considerable strength. Let those disciples go. Although they have little hope of entering the inner sect, there is no one in the entire outer sect who can match them," the Third Elder said after a moment of silence.
"Precisely my intention."
The First Elder nodded in agreement. "If that's the case, we should let that ignorant person witness the might of our Lan Yun Sect. Those under our Lan Yun Sect's protection are not to be trifled with by just anyone."
...
After the destruction of the Zheng family, Chu Feng did not leave. He simply stayed put nearby.
He knew very well that if he were to search for those cultivators himself, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
However, he had killed Yuan Hua.
After that, cultivators would inevitably come to investigate the matter.
He only needed to wait for the opportunity, and these people would come to their doom one by one.
From beginning to end, he never worried if he would be a match for these cultivators.
In his eyes, there were no opponents for him in this world; he, Chu Feng, was invincible.
"It's been a day already, are they not planning to come?" Chu Feng rested his hands behind his head, a hint of drowsiness on his face as he lay on the lawn of the Zheng family's former estate.
"Report, all members of the Zheng family have been dealt with," Mo Tianwang walked over to report.
"Good."
Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction. "You've worked hard."
"Boss, do you have any further orders?" Mo Tianwang stood silently nearby. All the hundred prominent families had been eradicated. This series of actions had thoroughly shaken the entire Dragon Country, and those who had been hidden beneath a facade of respectability had all received their due punishment.
In just one day, they had even apprehended over a hundred people from the Special Forces.
These were individuals who had engaged in illicit dealings with these families.
Coincidentally, according to Chu Feng's instructions, some had already been executed.
"Tell the brothers to stay sharp. The opponents we encounter next might have some strength, giving everyone a good fight," Chu Feng said, his gaze suddenly changing. His previously languid demeanor transformed, and his eyes became sharp in an instant. "They're here."
Almost instantaneously, the three Heavenly Kings and ten Divine Generals here all looked up at the sky.
Three people arrived, two women and one man.
These three wore attire that was somewhat archaic, floating in the air.
"Is this the Zheng family?" the person in the middle squinted, looking at the ruins below. It was clear to anyone that the Zheng family had been destroyed. Then, his gaze swept over the young man who had been lying lazily on the ground and had now gotten up, before falling upon the three Heavenly Kings and ten Divine Generals.
"We are disciples of the Lan Yun Sect. We have been ordered by our elders to investigate who killed our Lan Yun Sect executor, Yuan Hua. Tell us the truth," the man to his left announced loudly.
"Lan Yun Sect disciples."
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes. That was correct; he had been waiting for these Lan Yun Sect disciples.
"Judging by your appearance, it seems you are not from the Zheng family."
The woman on the right fiddled with the hairpin on her head. She stared at Chu Feng, who had been the most languid earlier. She was certain that among these people, Chu Feng was the leader.
"You've finally arrived."
Chu Feng tilted his head back and said loudly, "Coincidentally, I have quite a few questions I wish to ask you."
"Of course, before that..."
As Chu Feng spoke, he extended a hand, palm open, aiming at the three in the air: "I dislike looking up to speak; it makes my neck quite uncomfortable."
As his words fell, a powerful suction force erupted from his hand. He clenched his hand into a claw and pulled downwards!
"What's happening?!"
At this moment, the three felt their bodies were completely out of their control. Almost simultaneously, they were pulled down from the air.
"That's more like it."
Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction, looking at the three before him. "Let me guess, Yuan Hua was an outer sect executor of the Lan Yun Sect, and you three are likely just outer sect disciples as well."
"After all, such weakness can only be found among outer sect disciples."
Finishing, Chu Feng shook his head. "I wonder if the three of you will bring me any useful information."
"You!"
Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, the faces of the three changed almost simultaneously. Chu Feng's words were a complete insult to them!
The three of them were being equated to Yuan Hua!
To know that in terms of cultivation, Yuan Hua would never in this lifetime catch up to any one of them!
"Come on, tell me, what did you do when your elders wanted to take disciples, but my Chu family's five members refused to be apprenticed?" Chu Feng stared at the three, not holding much expectation. These three's abilities might even know less than him.
"Who are you?"
The man in the middle stared intently at Chu Feng. "A mere mortal, yet possessing such strength? Impossible... What sect are you from!"
"A mere mortal? Sect?"
Hearing his words, Chu Feng sneered. He extended a finger, pointing at the man's forehead: "Do you know what I hate?"
"I hate people who answer my questions with questions the most."
Saying that, his finger directly pierced into the man's forehead, penetrating his brain.
