Tong Qiang was still in the air as he grabbed while still a good dozen meters away from Gao Peng. In an instant, the air around Gao Peng seemed to have been drawn out like a vacuum and compressed around him. The air condensed into the shape of a giant palm and wrapped around him like an adult closing their palm around a chick.

Divine power, only someone who had reached the Divine Power Realm could do this.

“Peng… peng…” Gao Peng switched up his steps many times in an instant as his body was repeatedly dealt with blows. With just a raise of his hands he had made a hundred over flicks with his fingers, all aimed at the gigantic Divine Power Palm that was grabbing at him.

Even though the flicks caused many explosions, the effect was mediocre as it only slightly delayed the palm but did not allow him to escape from it, much less destroy the Divine Power Palm.

How powerful indeed, this Tong Qiang was the captain of Ren Tianxing’s personal guards and had reached the Divine Power Realm many years ago. Now, he might even be beyond level-six and was much more powerful than any of the elders of the Ren family. If this was just any other Divine Power Realm he would be able to break his way out, but if he were to do so with Tong Qiang, then he would reveal his true powers and…

Gao Peng had not expected this. Ren Jie and Gao Ren had been muttering to themselves and when Tong Qiang arrived, he did not say anything and simply asked him to capture him, and in such a place too. Tong Qiang and the rest did not care what about it and simply heeded the command, paying no regard to where they were at. In only an instant, the people behind Tong Qiang had surrounded him and the Gaos had not even arrived yet. Even if he were to force his way out, he would still reveal his true abilities.

Gao Peng’s heart sank as his power was unleashed, reaching the peak of the level-right of the True Qi Realm.

“BOOM!” The power at the peak of the level-eight of the True Qi Realm was astonishing, but due to Tong Qiang’s suppression, it instantly vanished, but the collision of the two forces still caused the surrounding stones to explode and turn into powder.

“Peng… argh…” Gao Peng was suppressed by Tong Qiang’s strength, and when he landed he was immediately grabbed by Tong Qiang. Due to his violent resistance, he vomited blood.

F*ck, that was fierce. How could he immediately order them to strike!

Gao Ren was unhappy with what Gao Peng said and wanted to help Ren Jie retaliate by speaking ill of Gao Peng, but he did not think that Ren Jie would heed his advice and have someone strike. How cool was that! He had not realized that Ren Jie had the guts in the past, could it be that they had been spending too much time together and Ren Jie was influenced by him?

When he heard Ren Jie said to get into action, Tie Ta had already taken a step forward and a fierce aura poured off of him. With the appearance of that aura, the muscles on his body also expanded and looked like blocks of stone. Even though he was only at level-nine of the Body Refinement Realm, those of the True Qi Realm still looked on in shock.

What’s going on? Wen Zihao was stunned. While he had seen all kinds of brawls between the wealthy sons in the Jade Capital… they were in front of the palace! They were here for the imperial feast!

“Ren family head, this is not the Ren’s residence.” The Second Prince was tasked to welcome the guests. Seeing that Ren Jie had ordered people to attack with no regard to his presence, he frowned lightly.

“I would have knocked out his teeth and broke his leg if we were at the Ren’s residence. This is none of your business, so stand aside. He was just spouting nonsense and challenging me earlier, why didn’t you say something then? The hell are you doing trying to show off your authority now.” Ren Jie threw the Second Prince a look of disdain before he headed towards Gao Peng who was still under Tong Qiang’s control.

What… what did he say? The Second Prince thought he had heard wrongly and stood there stunned.

He blinked a few times but still had yet to come back to his senses. Was he talking to me?

He was a member of the most upper class of the Clear Jade Dynasty, a prince. Nobody had dared speak to him like that ever since he was young.

He’s crazy, this fellow is crazy. Wen Zihao and Fang Yan were also stunned as they listened at the side. He was already crazy enough to order someone to capture Gao Peng, how dare he speak to the Second Prince like that…

“Fang Yan…” The Second Prince was livid and turned to Fang Yan, intending to have the Imperial Front Guard interfere.

“The Gaos are here, let them see to it themselves. I believe His Majesty would wish for you to handle it like this too.” Just then, Fang Yan’s voice appeared in the Second Prince’s mind.

The Second Prince immediately halted his words, but his expression was still sour as this was the first time he was chided by someone apart from his father. Moreover, this was done in front of so many people. If it had been someone else, he would have…

“Ergh…” There was blood in Gao Peng’s throat as he coughed heavily and spat out a lot of blood before turning up to look at Ren Jie, who walked over to him then.
