This is a bit awkward! Hu Sanxiong and Xiao Junyong glanced at Jiang Chen, who appeared relaxed and carefree, as if he were alone in the world. Their hearts trembled, and they dared not think about revenge.
"Brother Feng, my son lost in a martial arts match. According to the rules of martial arts, we cannot seek revenge," Hu Sanxiong said, trying to find an excuse.
"My son brought this upon himself; I never intended to seek revenge," Xiao Junyong quickly added.
"You two..." Feng Laowu was furious, his face turning red with anger. "You are truly cowardly! Fine, since you say so, there's no need for us to form an alliance. When I become the Underground Leader of Huaxia, you will have no standing whatsoever. I hope you do not regret your decision when that day comes." Feng Laowu snorted coldly.
People always prioritize their own safety above all else. Feng Laowu had never witnessed Jiang Chen's true strength, and with his son killed, he was too agitated to think clearly.
However, Xiao Junyong and Hu Sanxiong were different. They had seen Jiang Chen's prowess and felt little confidence facing him now. As for the Corpse Refining Clan, they had yet to see them in action; everything they knew came from Feng Laowu's words. They could not risk their lives on the Corpse Refining Clan.
After much deliberation, Hu Sanxiong and Xiao Junyong decided not to get involved in this matter and to wait and see how things unfolded. Besides, watching from the sidelines was the wisest choice. If the Corpse Refining Clan could defeat Jiang Chen or even eliminate him, it would also be a form of revenge for them. That would be the best outcome.
But if the Corpse Refining Clan could not defeat Jiang Chen, given Jiang Chen's character, Feng Laowu would likely have no way out. By not participating, Jiang Chen would naturally not hold any grudge against them or take it out on them. This was the calculation of Hu Sanxiong and Xiao Junyong: watching from a distance would benefit them regardless of the outcome.
The two Underground Leaders, who had just been willing to form an alliance, showed signs of retreat at such a critical moment. This not only surprised Feng Laowu but also left everyone else astonished.
Feng Laowu's face turned ashen with anger. Seeing that Hu Sanxiong and Xiao Junyong still did not express their stance, he snorted coldly and left them with a warning: "Take care of yourselves," before personally seeking out Li Hai Feng.
"Clan Leader Li, I fear I must trouble you to take action!" Feng Laowu said through gritted teeth while trying to remain polite despite his grief.
"What happened? Elder Feng, hasn't your son returned from the wedding? Is someone blocking him?" Li Hai Feng asked, noticing something was off with Feng Laowu's expression.
Feng Laowu lamented angrily, "Clan Leader Li, my Feng'er went to attend a wedding and was unexpectedly killed. You must help me seek justice!"
"What? Who has such audacity to kill your son Feng Dong? Could it be that someone is playing a joke on you?" Li Hai Feng found it hard to believe upon hearing this.
"This is no joke; it is absolutely true. We even mentioned your name, Clan Leader Li, but that person seemed dismissive. Therefore, I must trouble you to step out—not only to avenge me but also to show everyone how formidable your Corpse Refining Clan truly is!" Feng Laowu said with a mournful expression while also using provocation.
"Alright, I'll go with you. I want to see who is so arrogant as to disregard our Corpse Refining Clan! They will regret crossing paths with me!" At this point, Li Hai Feng had no choice but to believe that Feng Dong had indeed been killed.
