1581 Clan Crisis (1/2)

Chapter 1581 - Clan Crisis

In a gloomy residence within the city lord's estate, Zhao Balong suddenly opened his eyes. ”Dead?”

The assassin he sent to kill Zhao Feng had actually died? Even if the assassin carelessly exposed himself, Zhao Feng only had Song Tingyu at his side. There was no reason for him to die.

But now that the assassin was dead, Zhao Balong would find it very difficult to find out how exactly the assassin was killed.

”What a pity to lose such a good piece!” Zhao Balong's face chilled. A peak Divine Transformation Realm expert was extremely important to the Zhao Clan.

Zhao Balong assigned the blame for this to Zhao Feng, and he was determined to settle the accounts one day.

After a long while, he savagely smiled. ”It won't be long until I, Zhao Balong, will have complete control over the entire Zhao Clan.”

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Song Tingyu went to the Zhao Clan and departed with Zhao Feng.

”It seems like Feng'er just didn't like his previous teacher. Feng'er is much more diligent now!” Zhao Tianlong saw everything and gave a relieved smile.

Zhao Feng rarely cultivated before, but ever since Song Tingyu had arrived, Zhao Feng would frequently go out with her to cultivate.

But Zhao Tianlong had no idea that Song Tingyu had been made Zhao Feng's disciple and that this was all an act.

”Just who are you?” Song Tingyu asked once they had left the city lord's estate.

Zhao Feng was definitely no ordinary child, and he even managed to hide all his movements from his parents. Not even the city lord, Zhao Tianlong, sensed anything.

”I'm your master!” Zhao Feng loudly declared.

Song Tingyu immediately clenched her teeth. She had failed to do anything to Zhao Feng in this one year. On the contrary, she had suffered setback after setback.

Of course, as Song Tingyu was willing to spend time with Zhao Feng, she had made a decent amount of money. Moreover, Zhao Feng was thinking about opening branch stores, and as the business was prospering more and more, Song Tingyu was not willing to offend Zhao Feng.

They arrived at Star Peak Auction House, where the auctions were proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Now that he had capital, Zhao Feng had hired some experts to run the auction house, with his only duty being to take the money.

However, to ensure that Star Peak Auction House's business only increased, Zhao Feng would take out some of the superb products he had personally created at certain intervals and put them up for auction.

The auction was soon over, and the packed crowd began to slowly disperse.

The upper echelon members of the Star Peak Auction House gathered in the conference hall.

On the surface, the boss of Star Peak Auction House was Huo Qingfeng, with Song Tingyu being his deputy. The other elders present were the upper echelon members responsible for various aspects.

”Our auction house has a resounding reputation, but if we want to get bigger, we have to expand. Do any of you have suggestions?” Huo Qingfeng asked.

The upper echelon members were all extremely experienced people, and there were some that were specifically tasked with gathering information.

”This old man believes that, if Star Peak Auction House wants to expand, Sunharbor City is the best location!” An elder stood up. He wore violet robes with golden embroidery. His expression was calm and his eyes were brimming with confidence and pride.

”Brother Li, why is that? I've heard that Sunharbor City is rather average when it comes to major cities, and the Liu Clan controlling it is far inferior to Southcloud City's Zhao Clan. Is that not the case?” a short elder immediately asked.

Their fortunes were tied to the wax and wane of Star Peak Auction House, so they were all extremely concerned.

The others all looked at the violet-robed elder. Sunharbor City truly wasn't that prosperous, and it was also rather far from Southcloud City.

”None of you get it. Although Sunharbor City isn't as prosperous and the Liu Clan controlling it isn't that strong, the other clan in Sunharbor City has recently been making a name for itself....” Elder Li smugly smiled.

”Give us some more details!” another one of the upper echelon members said.

”Besides the controlling faction, a major city will normally have some other factions, and the Lu Clan of Sunharbor City is second in power only to the Liu Clan. Crucially, two genius daughters have been bom to the Lu Clan, both of peerless beauty and superb talent. This has caused many of the nearby major clans and factions to come with marriage proposals,” Elder Li explained everything in one go.

”This old man has also heard of this matter!”

”I heard that even the royal household of the Azure Net Kingdom has been making some moves!”

The upper echelon members began to converse. If even the royal household had taken notice, these two girls of the Lu Clan were clearly unusual.

Zhao Feng stood on the side, thinking of nothing as he waited for the conference to the end. He had little interest in these two genius girls of the Lu Clan.

”The presence of these two genius girls has greatly boosted the number of people going through Sunharbor City, and the majority of them are nobles and gentlemen. This is definitely the ideal place for a branch of our Star Peak Auction House!”

”Tsk, tsk, who would have imagined that two girls could change the destiny of Sunharbor City?”

”I heard that one of them is extremely talented in the Destiny Dao. Once she matures, she will definitely have an extraordinary career.”

The conversation continued in the conference hall, but the location of the new branch had apparently been decided already.

At this moment, Zhao Feng opened his eyes. ”Destiny Dao...!”

Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin had been reincarnated in the area, and now, two genius girls had appeared, and one of them was even skilled in the Destiny Dao. When all these clues were brought together, Zhao Feng was basically certain.

”Okay, let's make it Sunharbor City!” Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile.

On the side, Elder Li frowned and glanced at Zhao Feng. This was a conference of the upper echelon members of Star Peak Auction House, but each time, this child would be present.

However, Song Tingyu was one of the big bosses of the auction house. If she insisted on bringing her disciple, the others could do nothing. Moreover, Huo Qingfeng had also given his permission.

”Song Tingyu, next time, have your disciple wait outside. This is a secret conference!” Elder Li coldly grunted.

He had a higher status among the upper echelon members, and now that he had provided such important information, his confidence had swelled so much that he wanted to flaunt his power to Song Tingyu.

But Elder Li had just finished speaking when a terrifying energy surged through the secret hall. It was a stifling and oppressive energy that left a prickly pain on one's soul.

”This...” Elder Li looked at Huo Qingfeng in shock.
