916 Pressure (2/2)
The expression of the three males changed, and killing intent flashed through their eyes as they looked at Zhao Feng. If Zhao Yufei had agreed, then they wouldn't have needed to come here in the first place.
The upper echelon of the Duanmu Family also told Zhao Yufei that they were negotiating with the imperials and saying that they were going to cancel the marriage in order to calm her down, but the main target of the Duanmu Family's upper echelon and the imperials was very obvious – Zhao Feng.
”You don't need to worry about that.” The male from the Grand Duke's Palace spoke in a decisive tone with a disdainful expression. From his point of view, a measly Void God Realm King from a two-star power was definitely unable to clash against the Imperials and the Duanmu Family. A goddess with the Spiritual Race bloodline wasn't something that he could have.
”Zhao Yufei and I come from the same family and we've been friends since we were young. We cultivated together and now have both come to the continent zone. Being her older brother, why can't I worry about it?” Zhao Feng angrily told everyone an unknown truth.
”What?” The hearts of everyone present shook.
Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei came from the same family? Even Duanmu Qing didn't know this.
Although the two were both surnamed Zhao, how many people were there in the world with this name? Everyone thought that this was just a coincidence, but Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei really did come from the same family? This meant that Zhao Feng could be considered Zhao Yufei's older brother.
An elder behind the black-and-golden-robed man revealed a deadly smile and spoke slowly, ”Utterly ridiculous. Do you really think that we'll believe you just because you say your Zhao Yufei's older brother? There are far too many people in the world that have Zhao as their surname. Does that mean that all of them are Zhao Yufei's brothers?”
The black-and-golden-robed male revealed a joyful expression as the elder said that.
”Are you afraid to let Zhao Yufei come out and join the conversation then?” Zhao Feng snickered coldly. He could tell that there was something wrong with the engagement or else it wouldn't be so hard for him to even see Yufei.
”Zhao Yufei is currently in seclusion. She isn't someone you can see just because you want to!” the male roared and was obviously impatiently.
”Junior, get out of here!” the square-faced elder roared as his Sacred Lord aura crushed over like a tsunami.
Zhao Feng was caught off guard and took half a step back as the True Yuan and blood within his body tossed and turned. The other three people revealed a smug and cold smile.
Duanmu Qing felt that something was wrong since the upper echelon of the Grand Duke's Palace and the Duanmu Family were both here. If Zhao Feng stayed, the situation might become even worse.
”Zhao Feng, leave first. If there's a chance, I'll let you see Junior Martial Sister Yufei,” Duanmu Qing messaged.
Zhao Feng gazed coldly toward the square-faced elder and the other three people. The three imperials felt their souls shake when Zhao Feng's golden eye looked at them. It was as if all of their secrets had been exposed. Unknown fear spread across their bodies, and they started to sweat coldly.
”Master, this disciple will be leaving then.” Zhao Feng bowed and immediately left. It was impossible for him to see Yufei even if he stayed.
Since Duanmu Qing was from the Duanmu Family, it wasn't good for him to protect Zhao Feng. The three imperials were all cunning and couldn't be killed; if Zhao Feng took action against them, it would only make him more infamous and give them an genuine reason to attack him.
However, where should Zhao Feng go now? He took out the map he bought while they were travelling.
”The Duanmu Family is based in the Yun Province, and I'm currently in range of Long Rainbow City. Let's go there for now.”
His Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the 8th level – the Fire of Wind Lightning – but Zhao Feng didn't have any fire elemental resources and needed to purchase some.
Within the hall of the Duanmu Family:
”Grand Elder, leave this to us.” The male in black-and-golden robes revealed a wicked smile.
”Nine Darkness Palace doesn't know about Zhao Feng's whereabouts right now, but we'll tell them.” An elder from the imperials planned.
”Why don't we just do it ourselves?” The other elder was impatient.
”Hmph. Zhao Feng still has one more God Slaying Arrow. However, a Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace was killed by Zhao Feng, so they won't let him off so easily.” The black-and-golden-robed male revealed a cunning expression.
”Hehe, true. We'll let those from Nine Darkness Palace go first then.”
”He only has one more God Slaying Arrow remaining. Zhao Feng can't escape.”
Four of the Duanmu Family's upper echelon members nearby had unwilling expressions, but they had to do so for the family.
”Grand Elder, don't worry. Once Zhao Feng dies, the marriage will be much easier. The Thirteenth Prince is extremely favored right now. If he becomes the Crown Prince and then becomes the Sacred Emperor… hehehe.” The black-and-golden-robed male had an excited expression, and the expressions of the Duanmu Family's upper echelon became decisive.
Everything was going forward just like how the black-and-golden-robed male said it would. The Duanmu Family would soon be able to rise again and return to its peak. It might even become one of the best among the Eight Big Families.
