The surrounding crowd wore expressions of disbelief, staring blankly at Bai Xin, who lay unconscious on the ground, their shock beyond words.
Bai Xin had been defeated, defeated by Aojia's Young Master Aotian!
This explosive outcome left everyone stunned. After all, Bai Xin was one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun from the Fengyun Nation.
The Four Young Masters of Fengyun were undoubtedly the elite of the younger generation in the Fengyun Nation. Yet today, this elite figure had been bested by a mere youth; how could such a result not be shocking?
As the initial astonishment faded, sympathetic glances turned toward the members of the Zheng Family. Those present understood very well what Bai Xin's defeat meant for them.
Initially, Aotian and Bai Xin had engaged in a wager. If Bai Xin lost, the Ice River Sect would no longer intervene in matters between Zheng Ao and Aojia. This non-intervention would mean that the Zheng Family's strongest support would completely collapse, leaving them vulnerable to slaughter by Aojia!
At this moment, Aojia was gathering immense power; with the Ning Family, Aojia, and Sun Jing joining forces, they could completely uproot the Zheng Family!
The members of the Zheng Family clearly realized this, their faces filled with despair and fear.
In contrast, the members of Aojia were invigorated. As they looked at Aotian's somewhat gaunt figure, their eyes were filled with reverence.
They knew that today this young man had saved the entire Aojia. And at this moment, he had truly conquered the loyalty of all Aojia members!
Aojia faced a situation that seemed almost hopeless today, yet several heavyweight figures had come to their aid out of respect for Aotian.
In the end, this young man turned the tide, utterly defeating Bai Xin and sending the previously dominant Zheng Family straight to hell.
It could be said that at this moment, Aotian had completely become the spiritual leader of Aojia.
Aotian struggled to steady his swaying body and fixed his gaze on the members of the Zheng Family. A murderous smile appeared on his pale face as he said:
"I want to see who can save the Zheng Family today!"
Although Aotian appeared extremely weak at that moment, as if he might faint at any time, no one dared to underestimate him. Especially the members of the Zheng Family; upon hearing Aotian's words, some of them even collapsed to the ground.
They understood that because of Aotian, the Zheng Family was doomed today, and what awaited them next would definitely be Aojia's furious retaliation!
"Ao... Aotian, I... I was just momentarily... momentarily bewitched. Please... please spare me!"
Ao Gong quickly knelt before Aotian, repeatedly bowing his head and trembling as he spoke in a stuttering voice.
At that moment, Ao Gong was truly terrified. He knew that the good days for the Zheng Family were about to come to an end.
Having allied himself with the Zheng Family meant he would face Aojia's storm-like attacks. Therefore, he could only bow his head to Aotian, pleading for forgiveness; only in this way could he hope to survive.
In Ao Gong's heart, he had long since cast aside his dignity. To him, nothing was more important than his own survival.
However, in response to Ao Gong's incessant pleas and bowing, Aotian remained unmoved, his face perpetually cold and icy.
"Ao Gong, what are you doing? You are a dog of the Zheng Family, and now you dare to seek forgiveness from Aojia? Are you planning to betray the Zheng Family?!"
Suddenly, Zheng Kongqiang shouted angrily at Ao Gong.
Upon hearing this, Ao Gong trembled all over and dared not speak further; he simply pressed his head tightly against the ground, shaking uncontrollably.
Neither Aotian nor Zheng Kongqiang were individuals he could provoke. Thus, Ao Gong immediately chose silence, embodying the saying "silence is golden."
"The Zheng Family? After today, there may no longer be this family in Ning City..." Aotian said with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
Zheng Kongqiang's pupils slightly constricted, and then he spoke to Aotian with a fierce tone:
"Aotian, if you dare to act against the Zheng Family today, I will definitely have my master send experts from the Ice River Sect to uproot your family!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Bai Xin was the Young Master of the Ice River Sect, and his words were equivalent to those of the sect leader.
Moreover, many people had heard Bai Xin's promises from their previous gambling match, so Aotian could almost be certain that the Ice River Sect would not dare to act openly against the Aojia.
Because once the Ice River Sect took action, although they could destroy the Aojia, they would also leave behind an image of being untrustworthy. This image would have a significant impact on the Ice River Sect, which was already one of the top forces in Fengyun Nation.
For example, if a martial artist wanted to join both the Ice River Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect and was indecisive about which sect to join, upon hearing rumors of the Ice River Sect's untrustworthiness, it was certain that this martial artist would abandon the Ice River Sect in favor of joining the Azure Cloud Sect.
And if there was one such example, there would be more similar cases.
Therefore, Aotian was convinced that the Ice River Sect would not dare to act openly against the Aojia. Of course, it was still possible for them to create some trouble for the Aojia in secret.
However, as long as the Ice River Sect did not act openly, Aotian truly did not believe that the Aojia could be easily destroyed by them. After all, the strength of the Aojia was not to be underestimated.
Thus, Aotian completely disregarded Zheng Kongqiang's words.
Seeing Aotian's disdainful expression, Zheng Kongqiang's anger surged within him as he shouted:
"Damned bastard, you better know your place; otherwise, I will ensure you have no place to be buried! I think today's matter ends here; let's each return to our own homes and from now on keep our distance!"
Saying this, Zheng Kongqiang turned around, intending to lead the Zheng Family members away. However, Aotian's words made him pause:
"Leave? Heh heh, my Aojia knows how to treat guests well. If you leave like this, won't it make others laugh at my Aojia for not knowing how to host? Come here, surround them!"
As soon as Aotian's words fell, the Aotian Guard Team immediately formed a circle, surrounding the Zheng Family Members within. The soldiers brought by Ning Wen also tightly encircled the Zheng Family Members at Ning Wen's signal.
Zheng Kongqiang slowly turned around, his cold gaze fixed on Aotian as he said in a deep voice, "Are you really forcing me to use the power of the Ice River Sect?!"
Aotian's expression was indifferent, with a chilling look in his eyes as he replied, "Don't keep mentioning the Ice River Sect. Trust me, this time the Ice River Sect will definitely not stand up for you!"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Zheng Kongqiang let out a cold laugh. "Just because my senior brother casually mentioned a bet?"
Aotian's pupils constricted sharply, and he then looked deeply at Zheng Kongqiang. The fact that the latter could say such things indicated to Aotian two possibilities.
The first possibility was that Zheng Kongqiang was merely bluffing; the second was that the Ice River Sect did not care about their reputation.
If it were the first possibility, it would be manageable. However, if it were the second, then Aojia could indeed be in danger.
"Aotian, you'd better not think about making a move against my Zheng Family. Otherwise, within three days, the Ice River Sect will wipe out your Aojia without leaving a trace!" Zheng Kongqiang's voice sounded extremely sinister.
Aotian's expression changed unpredictably upon hearing this, as he seemed to hesitate. In truth, he wanted nothing more than to annihilate the Zheng Family right now and even kill this foul-mouthed Zheng Kongqiang along with them.
But he couldn't act rashly because every move he made now affected the entire Aojia; the survival of Aojia rested entirely on his shoulders.
Rationality told Aotian that now was not the time for impulsive actions.
"Tian'er, stop worrying so much. Let's go destroy the Zheng Family now!"
"Yeah, Boss! What the hell is the Ice River Sect? If they dare to come, I will make sure they don't return!"
"Young Master, I know you're concerned about our safety, but the Zheng Family is too arrogant. If we let them leave like this, what dignity will Aojia have left? Please allow us to settle this with the Zheng Family once and for all!"
"Young Master, give the order!"
"Yes, Young Master, give the order..."
The members of Aojia looked at Aotian with eager expressions, their faces filled with battle intent.
Seeing the hopeful eyes of the Aojia members, Aotian knew that if he truly compromised with Zheng Kongqiang, it would undoubtedly disappoint them.
Most importantly, in Aotian's dictionary, there was no such thing as compromising with enemies!
"Hmph, what of the Ice River Sect? I want to see just how tyrannical you can be!"
Aotian closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them wide, filled with unwavering determination.
"Aotian Guard Team, listen up! Today, the Zheng Family has wronged our Aojia. To uphold our honor, we vow to fight them to the death today—no retreat, no surrender!"
After Aotian spoke these words, he suddenly felt transformed; it was a spiritual metamorphosis and maturity. This would change how Aotian acted in the future.
He understood that sometimes yielding only emboldens enemies and does not solve problems at their root. Defeating and intimidating the enemy is undoubtedly what makes a true winner.
Upon hearing Aotian's words, the Aotian Guard Team immediately charged toward the Zheng Family Members with fierce grins on their faces.
As Ning Wen brought his soldiers, they were not to be outdone. At the moment Aotian spoke, they also charged towards the Zheng Family Members.
"Aotian, you..."
Zheng Kongqiang looked at Aotian in astonishment, clearly not expecting the latter to make such a choice.
"Zheng Kongqiang, you don't need to waste your effort. I tell you, regardless of whether the Ice River Sect intervenes in this matter, I will not spare the Zheng Family!"
Aotian said calmly, but his indifferent tone contained an unwavering determination.
"Damn bastard! Then I will kill you today!"
Seeing his family being pushed back by the combined forces of the Aojia and Ning Family, Zheng Kongqiang roared in anger and charged at Aotian, a fierce Mystical Energy surging from his body towards Aotian.
Aotian's expression changed slightly. After battling Bai Xin, he had already exhausted much of his fighting strength. Now, seeing Zheng Kongqiang's ferocious attack, Aotian wanted to defend himself but felt powerless.
Niu Geng, standing nearby, seemed to sense Aotian's crisis and immediately stepped forward to block Zheng Kongqiang's path, engaging him in battle...
