Zhang Fan made no attempt to hide his murderous intent, causing the atmosphere in the hall to falter slightly, becoming rather subdued.
At this moment, the head of the Fengyun Hall didn't dare to breathe heavily. In front of this Master Zhang, who had slaughtered a group of even divine realm experts, their Hongmen seemed rather insignificant.
After all, the most powerful ancestor of their Hongmen had only just stepped into the peak of the Saint Domain, still a considerable distance from the divine realm.
As for ordinary divine realm experts, escaping from Master Zhang would be extremely difficult.
Regarding the Dark Emperor of the Dark Organization, Zhang Fan had met him several times. He was almost certain that the Dark Emperor cultivated a pure immortal cultivation method.
However, the Dark Emperor's lineage was not passed down from the Half-Moon Immortal. Therefore, Zhang Fan suspected that there were other immortal cultivators from the depths of space lurking on Earth.
"Since I am certain to die, why should I answer your questions?" Hearing Zhang Fan's definitive words, Long Cheng could not help but sneer. With death on all sides, why should he listen to Zhang Fan?
"If you have this attitude, perhaps death will be a luxury for you." Zhang Fan smiled, shaking his head, finding Long Cheng too young.
He thought that not fearing death meant he could be stubborn? That was truly too naive.
"Long Cheng, you had better answer Master Zhang's questions properly. As for your family after you're gone, our Hongmen will take good care of them," Hong Tiansheng said.
Upon hearing this, Long Cheng's expression changed slightly. Although Hong Tiansheng's words seemed well-intentioned, who present couldn't hear the implied threat within them?
Hong Tiancheng acted this way out of helplessness. He feared Long Cheng's defiance would displease Zhang Fan and damage the relationship between Zhang Fan and the Hongmen, which would be an extremely fatal matter for the Hongmen.
A master at the intermediate Xiantian stage was a vital combat force for the Hongmen. But at this moment, if forced to choose, Hong Tiancheng would undoubtedly give up Long Cheng without hesitation.
As a Xiantian Grandmaster, and backed by the Hongmen, how glorious was Long Cheng once?
But now, he couldn't even die peacefully. Long Cheng felt extremely aggrieved and despondent. He glanced at his hall master, only to see him with his head lowered, not daring to acknowledge him.
"It's the Fang family, Fang Mingzhe. Everything I did before was at his request." Isolated and unable to even die in peace, Long Cheng instantly lost his spirit and his eyes became hollow.
"Fang Mingzhe of the Fang family? Hmph." Hearing this name, a cold arc curled up at the corner of Zhang Fan's lips.
Seeing Zhang Fan's reaction, the members of the Hongmen silently offered three seconds of mourning for Fang Mingzhe in their hearts.
Finally, Zhang Fan and Zhang Xing'an left the Hongmen, and Long Cheng was also gone.
Watching the retreating figures of Zhang Fan and Zhang Xing'an, the numerous hall masters of the Hongmen deeply exhaled, as if they had been holding their breath for a long time.
The pressure Zhang Fan brought upon them was too immense. This Master Zhang, whose strength rivaled that of a peak divine realm expert, could exert immense pressure on them with just a glance, even without intentionally revealing it.
...
Zhang Fan returned to the Su family and informed Su Yun of the outcome of the matter. Su Yun was greatly startled.
"Didn't they say the Hongmen is very powerful? Didn't the Hongmen cause you any trouble?" Su Yun asked curiously.
From the words of the Su family members, she had learned about the power of the Hongmen. Even the Xu family, known as a great family ruling a province, was nothing compared to the Hongmen.
"Heh heh, let alone a mere Long Cheng. Even if your son had taken down the great hall masters of the Hongmen, the Hongmen leader could only tolerate it," Zhang Xing'an said with a smile, brimming with pride.
"Is what the old man is saying true?" Su Yun fixed her gaze on Zhang Fan and asked.
"It's true," Zhang Fan nodded.
"Would I lie to you?" Zhang Xing'an said indignantly when Su Yun seemed unconvinced.
"That's still my son," Zhang Xing'an retorted.
"That's also my son, and he's my biological son. Whether he's yours is not necessarily true," Su Yun said with a cold laugh.
Hearing this, Zhang Xing'an immediately retreated, not daring to respond.
Listening from the side, Zhang Fan could only shake his head with a wry smile. Being a casualty of his parents' arguments was not the first time for him.
...
According to sources within the industry, the Hongmen internal affairs are harmonious, with no major movements recently.
As for the Su family, it is also peaceful. The Su family does not have the sense of impending crisis that others might expect. Instead, on the very next day, Huamao held a groundbreaking ceremony for the land at Tianxiu Lake, officially commencing construction.
The Hongmen and the Su family became the focus of everyone's attention. In contrast, Long Cheng, who had stirred up this matter, was forgotten in the midst of it all. No one knew where he was.
Within the Hongmen, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning him again.
...
"Damn it." In a luxurious presidential suite, Fang Mingzhe, clad in a snow-white bathrobe, was in a foul mood.
This was not only because the Su family's power had exceeded his expectations, but also because on the second day after Long Cheng returned to the Hongmen, he had become unreachable.
However, any observant person could see that the Hongmen had no intention of attacking the Su family. Coupled with Long Cheng's loss of contact, Fang Mingzhe felt a sense of extreme unease.
But he couldn't figure it out. Who exactly could have overturned such a situation?
