“He decides for himself? Patriarch Liu, there is simply no need for this.” Li Feng refused without hesitation. He was not worried that Liu Shichao would choose Dag to stay. He was just stating his own attitude.
“I will not stay.” Liu Shichao said without hesitation. Staying would mean death for him.
“Liu Shichao, as long as you stay, you will be the heir of the family. I only have you as my son. Could I choose someone else?” Liu Dongjian looked at Liu Shichao and said.
“This…” Liu Shichao hesitated a little. Liu Dongjian’s words were correct. Could he really kill himself?
“Liu Shichao, you had better think clearly. Patriarch Liu was just about to kill you. Do you think he was joking? Even if Patriarch Liu does not kill you, do you think Patriarch Zhang will let you go?” Zhu Yuanyang said with a cold laugh.
“I do not want to stay.” Liu Shichao said after a moment of hesitation.
“Liu Shichao, you…” Liu Dongjian obviously did not expect Liu Shichao to make such a choice. His face instantly turned iron blue. He never thought that his own son would not believe him. Did he think he would really kill him?
“Father, I do not want to joke with my own life. You simply cannot protect me.” Liu Shichao said with a cold laugh.
“Patriarch Liu, you see, this is Liu Shichao’s own choice.” Li Feng said with a smile.
“Liu Shichao, you had better think clearly.” Liu Dongjian was still making a final effort.
Liu Shichao gave a cold hum and ignored Liu Dongjian completely.
“Very well, very well, Liu Shichao, I will pretend I never had a son like you.” Liu Dongjian said angrily, his face iron blue, pointing at Liu Shichao and speaking harshly.
Liu Shichao glanced at Liu Dongjian, a cold laugh in his eyes.
“Patriarch Liu, can we leave now?” Li Feng asked.
“You can leave, but the matter between us is not over.” Zhang Yunhao said with a cold laugh.
Li Feng just smiled. The matter between him and the four great families was indeed not over. He did not kill them today only because he did not know if Elder Lu would intervene. After all, Elder Lu’s background was unknown and had nothing to do with him. If he wanted Elder Lu to act but Elder Lu was unwilling, would that not embarrass him?
From the reactions of these people just now, they mistakenly thought Elder Lu was someone by his side. He had no intention of clearing up this misunderstanding. Before his strength was strong enough, pretending to borrow someone else’s prestige was also a strategy. He did not want to expose his relationship with Elder Lu in front of these people.
Moreover, Li Feng felt that revenge should be taken by himself. The Fist King Championship more than a month later was to fight for the Nine Dragon Jade. He believed the four great families would definitely participate. That would be his time for revenge.
The most important thing now was to improve his strength in this period of more than a month. Nothing was more important than his own strength.
“Let’s go.”
Without hesitation, Li Feng led everyone away.
Bang!
As soon as Li Feng and the others left, Liu Dongjian slammed his palm heavily on the coffee table and said coldly, “Damn it, why did the Lord give such an order?”
“The Lord naturally has the Lord’s plans. We only need to do as the Lord says. Why think so much?” Zhang Yunhao saw Liu Dongjian’s iron blue face, a cold laugh flashing deep in his eyes.
The one who suffered the heaviest losses today was Liu Dongjian. Not only did he lose a post-natal peak expert and more than a dozen bodyguard death warriors, but one son died and the other betrayed him. The blow to Liu Dongjian was unprecedented.
The four great families could unite against a common enemy to protect their shared interests, but the conflicts between the four great families were not small either. The ranking competition every few years determined how many resources they could get from the Lord. The weakening of the Liu family was an unexpected joy for the other families. In the upcoming ranking competition, the Liu family would definitely be at the bottom.
“Are we just going to let it go like this?” Liu Dongjian said unwillingly.
“Of course we cannot let it go. The Lord asked us to let Li Feng and the others go, but that does not mean we cannot deal with them.” Zhao Xiu said with a cold laugh.
“Zhao Xiu, there is an innate realm expert by Li Feng’s side. Why did you not say anything?” Liu Dongjian looked at Zhao Xiu coldly and asked. The great situation was ruined because of Zhao Xiu’s concealment. How could Liu Dongjian not be angry?
“Even if I said it, would you believe me?” Zhao Xiu said with a cold laugh.
Liu Dongjian was speechless. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not believe that Li Feng had the protection of an innate realm expert. Even among the four great families, there was no innate realm expert. Who would think that an innate realm expert would disregard his status to? status to protect a young man.
“Brother Liu, it is useless to be angry now. Instead of being angry, you should think about how to deal with Li Feng.” Zhao Xiu’s eyes flashed with cold killing intent. Among these people, apart from Liu Dongjian, he probably wanted to kill Li Feng the most.
Liu Dongjian was silent. He did want to kill Li Feng, but he could not think of a good way for a moment. The key was that there was an innate realm expert protecting Li Feng. The strongest in their four great families were only post-natal peak. Who could be an opponent for an innate realm expert?
“Zhao Xiu, do you have any good ideas?” Qu Xiuwen asked coldly.
“There is a way.” Zhao Xiu replied.
“Is that so? I want to hear what ideas you have. Do you, Zhao Xiu, have the ability to kill that innate realm expert, or to kill Li Feng under the protection of an innate realm expert?” Qu Xiuwen said with a cold laugh.
Zhao Xiu turned back and glanced at Qu Xiuwen, a cold intent flashing in his eyes. “To deal with Li Feng, do we have to deal with that innate realm expert? You idiot.”
“What did you say?” Qu Xiuwen was furious. He did not expect this martial idiot Zhao Xiu to call him an idiot.
“Enough, both of you. What time is it to still be quarrelling?” Zhang Yunhao said coldly.
Then Zhang Yunhao asked, “Zhao Xiu, what is your way to deal with Li Feng?”
“It is very simple to deal with Li Feng.” Zhao Xiu’s mouth curved into a cold laugh as he said, “Li Feng’s strength is actually not strong. A post-natal peak ancient martial artist can kill him, and the innate realm expert by his side cannot protect him all the time. This is our opportunity.”
“That is not bad, but to kill Li Feng, we need to send a post-natal peak expert. Who will provide this post-natal peak expert?” A gleam flashed in Zhang Yunhao’s eyes. Zhao Xiu’s method was undoubtedly a good one, but the post-natal peak expert was the key. If the innate realm expert arrived, he might die. The four great families did not have many post-natal peak experts. Losing one would be a big blow to their family.
“Each family sends one, taking turns to ambush Li Feng.” Zhao Xiu glanced at Zhang Yunhao and the other two and said, “I will personally act for the Zhao family.”
“Our Liu family does not have that many post-natal peak experts.” Liu Dongjian said coldly. The Liu family originally only had two post-natal peak experts. If another died, the Liu family would become the bottom of the four great families. Not only that, they would not be able to rise again for decades.
“Even without post-natal peak experts, those above post-natal seventh level can easily kill Li Feng.” Zhao Xiu said indifferently, glancing at Liu Dongjian. He had fought Li Feng and had a clear understanding of Li Feng’s strength.
“But…” At this point, Zhao Xiu paused.
“But what?” Qu Xiuwen asked coldly.
“But whoever kills Li Feng will get the largest share of resources from the Lord this year.” A gleam flashed in Zhao Xiu’s eyes.
Zhang Yunhao looked deeply at Zhao Xiu. This was to increase the motivation to kill Li Feng, so that post-natal peak experts would not hold back because of the possible arrival of the innate realm expert by Li Feng’s side. At the same time, there was a more important reason: Zhao Xiu wanted that share of resources.
Zhao Xiu was a martial maniac with the highest cultivation talent. He was the youngest post-natal peak expert among the four great families and the most likely to break through to the innate realm. It was said that in recent years, Zhao Xiu had been collecting resources to prepare for his breakthrough to the innate realm. If Zhao Xiu got the largest share of resources, he might break through to the innate realm because of it.
If Zhao Xiu broke through to the innate realm, although the four great families would have an innate realm expert, Zhao Xiu was arrogant and overbearing, which was very unfavourable to the other families.
“What do you think?” Zhao Xiu asked.
“I agree.” Qu Xiuwen was the first to agree because the Qu family also had a post-natal peak expert about to break through to the innate realm. In recent years, the Qu family had spent a lot of effort to find resources for the breakthrough. If they could get more resources this time, it would be very beneficial for the Qu family.
Zhao Xiu looked at Zhang Yunhao.
“I agree too.” Although Zhang Yunhao knew Zhao Xiu’s little scheme, he had no reason to refuse because the largest share of resources this year was originally the Liu family’s. Now that there was a chance to fight for it, why not?
“You…” Liu Dongjian’s face was ugly. Three out of four agreed. What use was his opposition? But Liu Dongjian was unwilling because that share of resources was originally the Liu family’s, and now it had become the prize for killing Li Feng.
Even if he killed Li Feng, he would only get back what was his. This was of no benefit to him at all.
“Brother Liu, do you have a different opinion?” A gleam flashed in Zhao Xiu’s eyes. For a long time, the Zhao family had been suppressed by the Liu family, and he was dissatisfied. Now, seeing Liu Dongjian heartbroken, he was extremely excited.
“Brother Liu, Liu Shijie’s death and Liu Shichao’s betrayal are both related to Li Feng. Do you not want to kill Li Feng? Can you watch Li Feng live freely in Tianhai City? Besides, Zhao Xiu’s plan is good. Without the innate realm expert by his side, the Liu family still has many people who can kill him.” Qu Xiuwen said with a cold laugh.
Liu Dongjian was shaken by these words. He took a deep breath, and bone-deep hatred flashed in his eyes. “Good, I agree. This time, I will cut Li Feng into a thousand pieces and scatter his ashes.”
