The discussion hall is located at the very center of the City Lord’s residence, towering over ten meters high, with traces of weathering on the surface, clearly existing for many years.

And at this time.

Around the hall, there are hundreds of guards, all with cultivation between Five Star and Nine-Star War Ancestor.

Each person’s face is full of vigilance.

"Salute to the City Lord."

As soon as Shen Feiyun arrives, these guards bow and salute.

"Stay alert."

Shen Feiyun says coldly, then strides into the discussion hall.

Inside the hall, the lights are bright as if it’s daytime.

Qin Feiyang and his three companions sit separately on chairs, each with a different expression.

Qin Feiyang is expressionless, no one knows what’s on his mind.

Young Master Hao sits with his legs crossed, looking disdainful.

Wang Youer has her head lowered, her gaze flickering continuously, but if observed closely, one would find she occasionally glances at Qin Feiyang.

Regarding Shen Feiyun’s arrival, the three have no particular reaction.

Seeing this scene, the killing intent in Shen Feiyun’s heart undoubtedly grows more intense!

"Salute the lord."

The leading guard bows to Shen Feiyun, then sweeps his gaze at Qin Feiyang and his companions, shouting, "Didn’t you see the City Lord has arrived? Stand up and greet him!"

"Is he qualified?"

Young Master Hao sneers, full of disdain.

"How bold!"

The leading guard gets furious, reaching out to grab Young Master Hao.

"Try touching me if you dare!"

Young Master Hao turns suddenly, staring sharply at the guard.

The leading guard’s pupils shrink, fear forming in his heart.

"He doesn’t dare, but I do!"

Shen Feiyun’s gaze turns cold and reaches to grab Young Master Hao’s head.

"My lord, stop!"

At this moment.

The elderly man in black rushes in hurriedly, grabbing Shen Feiyun’s wrist.

"What are you trying to do? Rebel?"

Shen Feiyun shouts.

"My lord, calm down!"

The elderly man in black pleads worriedly, then looks at the guards and says, "All of you, leave and close the door."

"Yes!"

The group of guards promptly turns and leaves, firmly closing the hall’s doors.

This way.

Inside the hall, only Qin Feiyang and his three companions and Shen Feiyun and the elderly man remain.

The elderly man in black looks at Shen Feiyun, pleading, "My lord, may I ask a few questions first?"

Shen Feiyun clenches his big hand, shaking off the elderly man, coldly saying, "I’ll give you only a hundred breaths of time!"

The elderly man exhales deeply, looking at Qin Feiyang and his companions, asking, "Can you tell the truth? Did the young master poison you?"

Young Master Hao pouts, saying, "If he didn’t poison us, why would we kill him?"

"Where’s the witness?"

"Who saw it?"

Shen Feiyun angrily shouts.

"Alas!"

Wang Youer sighs deeply, regretfully saying, "Brother Shen, I never thought that after so many years, you would become like this."

Shen Feiyun angrily says, "Isn’t this thanks to the General Tower Master and Gongsun Bei?"

"Even now, you haven’t reflected and are still blaming them; you’re truly hopeless!"

Wang Youer speaks with a trace of anger.

"It’s their fault, to begin with!"

Shen Feiyun screams, seemingly recalling past events, his eyes bloodshot, hysterical.

Wang Youer says, "Ask yourself truthfully, is it really their fault?"

Shen Feiyun’s expression shifts uncertainly, impatiently waving saying, "Stop talking rubbish. Since you say Long’er poisoned you first, bring the witness. Otherwise, you won’t leave the City Lord’s residence today!"

"Unreasonable!"

"Do you want evidence?"

Wang Youer snorts coldly, looking at Qin Feiyang, saying, "Show him!"

Qin Feiyang waves his hand, producing the Image Crystal Stone.

Immediately after.

An image unfolds in the hall’s void.

"It was him behind the trick!"

Watching the entire dialogue between Fu Xiong and Fu An-shan, the elderly man’s gaze darkens.

Shen Feiyun is likewise.

Both hands clenched tightly, cracking sound resounds!

The sinister gaze is like wanting to eat people!

"Damn bastard, I, Shen Feiyun, will never rest until you’re dead!"

The image ends.

Shen Feiyun roars, blasting away the hall door, turning into a stream of light and swiftly flying away.

Watching Shen Feiyun’s departing figure, the elderly man sighs long, then looks at Qin Feiyang and companions, saying, "Getting this image must not have been easy, right?"

"Not bad."

Young Master Hao says indifferently.

"Thank you three."

The elderly man bows.

"Why thank us?"

Young Master Hao asks suspiciously.

"Without this evidence, the lord would definitely kill you."

"Then the General Tower Master would be alerted, and the lord’s life would be in danger."

"So, you three saved the lord’s life."

The elderly man sighs.

"You’re quite loyal."

Young Master Hao says in surprise.

"The lord has done me a favor; repaying him is only right."

"I won’t speak much, you three rest for a while. I’ll follow to check."

The elderly man says and then turns to leave the hall, shouting to the guards by the door, "The three inside are the City Lord’s honored guests, entertain them properly."

Before the voice falls, the elderly man launches into the sky, rushing towards Shen Feiyun.

"Honored guests?"

The group of guards is stunned.

What’s going on?

Weren’t they mortal enemies before? How did they suddenly become honored guests?

...

"What about us?"

Inside the hall!

Young Master Hao looked at Qin Feiyang and Wang Youer.

"With a great show underway, of course, we have to check it out."

Qin Feiyang chuckled, stood up, and disappeared with a few strides.

Wang Youer and Young Master Hao exchanged glances, a cold gleam flashing in their eyes as they quickly stood and followed.

...

"Fu Xiong, get out here!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Suddenly.

A furious roar pierced the night sky, alarming countless people.

"Is that the voice of the City Lord?"

"What happened to make him so angry?"

People were bewildered.

At the same time.

Fu Xiong, who was lying on his bed perusing ancient texts, sat up at once, his eyes full of shock and doubt.

Boom!

Before he could react, another terrifying emperor’s might erupted outside.

Fu Xiong felt a deep sense of unease rise immediately in his heart. Without hesitation, he quickly got up and escaped through a window.

Boom!

Crash!

Just as he was leaving, a dazzling Battle Intent struck the Trading Pavilion.

With a thunderous roar, the entire building collapsed, billowing dust rising skyward and obscuring the waning moon!

"This..."

Fu Xiong stood in mid-air, completely dumbfounded by the scene.

Suddenly!

He looked up and saw Shen Feiyun standing high above, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"What are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

Fu Xiong shouted angrily.

"Mad?"

"Yes, not only am I mad, but today I’m going to kill you, you Old Bastard."

"Prepare to die!"

With a roar of fury, Shen Feiyun charged at Fu Xiong, carrying a monstrous killing intent.

"What exactly do you want?"

Fu Xiong’s expression changed as he fled into the sky, shouting without looking back.

The two quickly flew out of the city and into the deep mountains beyond.

Whoosh!!!

At this moment.

The black-clad elder and Qin Feiyang’s trio ascended into the sky, watching Fu Xiong and Shen Feiyun from afar.

Wang Youer furrowed her brows and asked the black-clad elder, "How strong is Fu Xiong?"

"Very strong."

"But compared to the lord, he’s far inferior."

The black-clad elder smiled confidently.

"That’s good."

Wang Youer whispered.

To be honest, she felt some sympathy for Shen Feiyun, because when she was young, Shen Feiyun took care of her like a big brother.

Swoosh!

The four of them moved and pursued as well.

...

Above a towering peak.

Fu Xiong stopped and turned to Shen Feiyun, angrily saying, "Are you out of your mind, attacking me for no reason?"

"You still dare to say it’s for no reason?"

"I’ve always stayed out of your way, but you went and got my son killed. Do you really think I’ve become a mere drunkard?"

Shen Feiyun roared, his fury blazing.

"What?"

Fu Xiong’s gaze trembled—could Shen Feiyun already know?

Impossible!

The dead are dead; there’s no way Shen Feiyun could know.

With this thought.

Fu Xiong calmed a little and shouted angrily, "Your son was killed by Wang Su’s granddaughter, why come after me?"

"It’s true Wang Youer did the killing, but you are the root of it all!"

"Stop trying to dodge the truth!"

"Today, if I don’t slice you into pieces, I, Shen Feiyun, vow to not be human!"

Boom!

Shen Feiyun’s body trembled, Battle Intent surging like waves, transforming into a massive tide, rushing toward Fu Xiong.

The killing intent it emanated was fearsome!

"Damn, how was this leaked?"

Fu Xiong’s mind was in turmoil.

Everything he planned was seamless, and indeed, there was no flaw.

Otherwise, Shen Feiyun wouldn’t have targeted Young Master Hao’s trio earlier today.

But how did Shen Feiyun suddenly know?

No time to think, as that Battle Intent was already upon him.

He quickly raised his hands, his Battle Intent surging, clashing fiercely with Shen Feiyun’s.

Puff!

As expected, just like the black-clad elder said, Fu Xiong’s strength was nowhere near Shen Feiyun’s, leading to him spitting a mouthful of blood, flying out sideways like a meteor, crashing into a mountain behind.

The towering mountain, thousands of feet high, shattered instantly!

Within just one move, Fu Xiong was dealt a fatal blow.

"Though my son is worthless, he’s not someone you can use!"

At this moment, Shen Feiyun was a living god of death, unstoppable.

His Battle Intent was like a waterfall, continuously ascending to the sky, turning night into day.

Boom!

In an instant.

A gigantic hand emerged from thin air, covering the sky and blocking the moon, exuding an apocalyptic aura, destroying everything unyieldingly!

"Join my son in his grave!"

Then.

Shen Feiyun let out a skyward howl, and the gigantic hand, with the ear-piercing sound of thunder and wind, descended from high above, striking toward the ground below!

Boom!

The earth immediately cracked, fissures spreading far and wide.

Mountains collapsed madly, like thunderous echoes resounding through the heavens!

"This is the power of Shen Feiyun!"

In the distant sky.

Qin Feiyang’s pupils constricted, unable to hide his apprehension.

Wang Youer said, "If Shen Feiyun hadn’t been so despondent these past years, his strength now would be far beyond this."

Young Master Hao nodded.
