The sounds of the fight had already attracted the attention of other soldiers in the nearby barracks, and a commotion of footsteps could be heard as many people rushed over.
Ling Mo Xie, while making his escape, shouted at the dazed squad leader, "Just wait! The Zheng Family will definitely storm the lord's mansion and capture Feng Yiqin..."
Seeing that the pursuing soldiers were getting closer, Ling Mo Xie signaled to Bai Yunfei. Bai Yunfei quickly grabbed Ling Mo Xie and transformed into a gust of wind, disappearing from the soldiers' sight.
"Haha! Did you see that squad leader's dumbfounded expression? They must be wondering how the Zheng Family has such capable people! You should have used a weaker spell!" After they had left the barracks far behind, Bai Yunfei laughed heartily and said, "But it was really fun! Haha!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a good actor!" Ling Mo Xie shot him a glance and then smirked with a mischievous smile, looking towards the direction of the Zheng Family. "Alright! Now let's call Hong Chi and Luo Yan and go to the Zheng Family to watch the fun!"
In the lord's mansion, Feng Yiqin was having dinner with her family. The table was filled with exquisite delicacies; fourth and fifth-level Spirit Beasts were just another dish on the lord's table.
Just as Feng Yiqin was enjoying these rare treats that couldn't even be bought at the best restaurant in town, a soldier stumbled in. "Reporting to the lord! There's bad news!"
Feng Yiqin's expression darkened immediately. These soldiers really lacked tact, but she still asked with a frown, "What is it? What could possibly warrant such alarm?"
"Lord of the City, the Zheng Family... is planning a rebellion! Their people say they want to storm the lord's mansion and capture..." The soldier noticed the lord's displeasure and hurriedly delivered this shocking news.
"Capture me? Does Zheng Rulin have that kind of audacity? Just earlier I went to the Zheng Family, and he clearly..." As Feng Yiqin spoke, she recalled Zheng Rulin's unusual behavior during her visit to the Zheng Family. Furrowing her brows, she thought that perhaps she had misjudged; after all, Zheng Rulin had been the Patriarch of the Zheng Family for so many years and couldn't possibly lack cunning. It was unlikely he would show such an expression just because of her warning.
"For what reason?" Feng Yiqin asked calmly, hiding her anxiety as she looked down at the soldier who had come to report.
"There were two members of the Zheng Family who attacked the barracks. It is said that our City Guard killed Zheng Family's Second Young Master," the soldier replied respectfully and quickly. He then added urgently, "Moreover, from what they revealed in their conversation, it seems that the Zheng Family has contacted their Zhou Butler at Great Luo Sect, Zheng Rucheng..."
Soldier did not continue, as the recent events involving many Golden Core Stage disciples from the Great Luo Sect in Blazing City were well-known.
"Call the two generals; we are going to the Zheng Family!" Feng Yiqin said coldly, with a fierce expression on her face. This matter must be dealt with quickly.
At the same time, in the Hall of the Zheng Family, Zheng Rulin and Zheng Rucheng were concluding their conversation. Zheng Rucheng sneered and said, "Brother, don't worry! Does the City Lord's Mansion think there is no one in the Zheng Family? I will go find my fellow disciples right away. Even if I have to give up some benefits, I will definitely ask them for help to avenge my nephew!"
The sky had darkened, and the red clouds were gradually fading into a deep blue, almost black sky.
Ling Mo Xie, Bai Yunfei, Luo Yan, and Hong Chi had already arrived at the Zheng Family. In the highest pavilion of the Zheng Family, the Flying Qiong Pavilion, Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei were discussing without any tension, while Hong Chi was focused on eating his candied hawthorn. Only Luo Yan, upon hearing that people from the Great Luo Sect were also involved, displayed a complex mix of anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.
"They're here! What an imposing presence!" Ling Mo Xie said with a smile, shielding his eyes with his hand as he squinted towards the road from the City Lord's Mansion to the Zheng Family.
Accompanying Feng Yiqin were two middle-aged men in bright silver armor, exuding an air of authority; they appeared to be the other two Golden Core Stage experts sent by the Izumo Kingdom to Blazing City.
Behind Feng Yiqin and those two generals followed thousands of soldiers.
Inside the Zheng Manor, just as Zheng Rucheng was preparing to leave to find people from the Great Luo Sect, he sensed an overwhelming pressure approaching the manor. His expression changed as he said, "Brother! What is going on? Did you spread this news?"
"Brother! How could you be so foolish! None of my fellow disciples are without greed. I haven't even made arrangements with them yet; if a fight breaks out, they might not help at all! How could you dare to leak information about dealing with the City Lord's Mansion?"
Zheng Rucheng said angrily to Zheng Rulin.
Zheng Rulin naturally understood how formidable the City Lord's Mansion was; his face turned pale as he stammered, "I... I didn't... leak any information about dealing with the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Boom!" As Zheng Yulin's words fell, a loud sound echoed, followed by Feng Yiqin's roar: "Zheng Dog! Come out here!"
Zheng Yulin was so frightened that he sat down in his chair, muttering, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Zheng Yucheng glanced at him and said, "What else can we do? It's already come to this; we can only fight! I believe my sister-in-law's Golden Core Ancestor will hear the commotion and come to help! For now, we have to call on our father. If we can hold out until the Mo Family Ancestor arrives, who will die is still uncertain. However, it seems we won't be able to stay in the State of Chuyun any longer!"
"What do you mean by that, kid?" Feeling the overwhelming pressure from outside, the Zheng Family Ancestor had already summoned a flying sword and flew out, displeased as he questioned Feng Yiqin.
"Don't act all high and mighty just because you're older! Don't you know what your Zheng family is up to? And now you dare to ask me what's wrong?" Feng Yiqin replied coldly.
He then turned to the two generals beside him and said, "Zhang Kang, Zhen Long, the existence of the Zheng family has seriously threatened the safety of Chiyan City. I now command you to eliminate the Zheng family!"
"Yes!" The two generals responded and looked coldly at the Zheng Family Ancestor, who had gray hair but an ugly wrinkled face, small eyes, and a hawk-like nose, dressed in a golden embroidered dragon robe.
At this moment, Zheng Yucheng also stepped forward and shouted with feigned authority, "What are you trying to do? Are you going to attack the disciples of Da Luo Sect? It's just a mere city lord..."
Feng Yiqin chuckled and replied, "So what? According to the laws of Chuyun State, if sect disciples enter any city without prior notice in large numbers, the city lord has the right to eliminate them. Of course, this law is practically meaningless for those major sects, but your Da Luo Sect... tsk tsk, isn't considered a major sect at all!"
