Within a gloomy residence in the city lord's estate:
Zhao Balong suddenly opened his eyes. "He's dead?"
The assassin he had sent to assassinate Zhao Feng had actually died.
Even if this assassin had accidentally exposed himself, Zhao Feng only had Song Tingyu by his side. No matter what, he shouldn't have lost his life.
But now that the assassin was dead, Zhao Balong found it very difficult to find out how he had died.
"What a pity! Such a good pawn!"
Zhao Balong's expression turned serious. A peak Divine Transformation Realm expert was extremely important to the Zhao Clan.
Zhao Balong placed this crime on Zhao Feng's shoulders, and he would get his revenge sooner or later.
After a long while, he revealed a sinister smile. "It won't be long before I, Zhao Balong, have the final say in the entire Zhao Clan."
In the blink of an eye, a year passed.
One day, Song Tingyu arrived at the Zhao Clan and left with Zhao Feng.
"It seems that Feng 'er didn't like his previous teacher. Feng' er has become much more diligent in his cultivation!"
Zhao Tianlong saw all of this and revealed a pleased smile.
Previously, Zhao Feng rarely cultivated, but ever since Song Tingyu arrived, Zhao Feng often accompanied her out to cultivate.
However, Zhao Tianlong had no idea that Song Tingyu had already been accepted as Zhao Feng's disciple. All of this was just an act between the two of them.
"Just who are you?"
Song Tingyu asked after leaving the city lord's estate.
Zhao Feng was no ordinary child of the sea. Moreover, he hid all of his actions from his parents. Not even the city lord, Zhao Tianlong, seemed to notice.
"I'm your master!"
Zhao Feng loudly declared.
Song Tingyu immediately clenched her teeth. In this past year, she had been unable to do anything to Zhao Feng. Instead, she had suffered setbacks time and time again at the hands of Zhao Feng.
Of course, Song Tingyu was willing to follow Zhao Feng. At the very least, her recent income was quite good.
Moreover, Zhao Feng was already planning on opening a branch. Seeing that his business was growing, how could Song Tingyu possibly want to offend Zhao Feng at this time?
When he arrived at the Star Peak Auction House, the auction was proceeding in an orderly manner.
After obtaining the funds, Zhao Feng hired a few experts to run the auction house, while he was only responsible for collecting the money.
However, in order to ensure that the business of the Star Peak Auction House continued to grow, Zhao Feng would take out his own refined products from time to time and auction them to ensure the popularity of the auction house.
Soon, the auction ended, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
In the meeting hall of the Star Peak Auction House, several high-level officials gathered together.
On the surface, the person in charge of the Star Peak Auction House was Huo Qingfeng, while Song Yuting was the second in charge. The remaining elders were the upper echelons in charge of other aspects.
"Our auction house is very famous now. If we want to expand, we must expand. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"
Huo Qingfeng asked.
These upper echelons were all experienced people, and some of them were in charge of gathering intelligence.
"This old man believes that if the Star Peak Auction House wants to expand, its next target would be Sunharbor City!"
An elder stood up. He was dressed in violet robes embroidered with faint golden patterns. His expression was calm, but his eyes were brimming with confidence and pride.
"Brother Li, why is that? I heard that Sunharbor City is a relatively large city, and that the Liu Clan in charge is far inferior to the Zhao Clan of Southcloud City? "
The other short old man immediately asked.
The rise and fall of the Star Peak Auction House was related to their interests, so they were extremely concerned.
The others also looked at the violet-robed elder. Sunharbor City truly was not flourishing, and it was rather far from Southcloud City.
"You probably don't understand. Although Sunharbor City isn't flourishing and the Liu Clan in charge isn't very powerful, there's another clan in Sunharbor City that has recently become quite famous …."
The elder surnamed Li faintly smiled, a hint of pride in his voice.
"I would like to hear the details!"
Another member of the upper echelon said.
"A large city usually has other factions besides the one in charge. The Lu Clan in Sunharbor City is second only to the Liu Clan in power. Crucially, the Song Clan has produced two heavenly daughters. Not only are they peerlessly beautiful, but their cultivation talent is also unparalleled. Many of the nearby great clans and factions have gone to propose marriage!"
The elder surnamed Li finished speaking in a single breath.
"This old man has also heard of this matter!"
"I heard that the imperial clan of the Azure Net Kingdom has been stirring recently!"
The crowd began to chatter.
If even the imperial clan had taken notice, it was clear that these two women from the Lu Clan were no ordinary characters.
Zhao Feng stood to the side, not thinking much as he waited for the meeting to conclude.
As for the two heavenly daughters of the Lu Clan, Zhao Feng had no interest in them.
"Because of these two heavenly daughters, Sunharbor City has an unusual flow of people, and the majority of them are nobles. This is definitely the best place to set up a branch of the Star Peak Auction House!"
"Tsk tsk, I didn't think that these two little girls would be able to change the fate of Sunharbor City!"
"I heard that one of them is extremely talented in Fate Dao. When she matures, she will be extraordinary in the future!"
The discussion continued in the meeting room, and the location of the branch seemed to have been decided.
But at this moment, Zhao Feng opened his eyes. "Fate Dao!"
The place where Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin had reincarnated was also nearby. And now, two heavenly daughters had appeared, and one of them was skilled in Fate Dao.
Putting all these clues together, Zhao Feng was basically certain.
"Alright, Sunharbor City it is!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile.
The elder surnamed Li frowned slightly and glanced at Zhao Feng.
This was a meeting of the upper echelons of the Star Peak Auction House, but this child was here every time.
However, Song Tingyu was one of the largest shareholders of the auction house. If she insisted on bringing her disciple in, no one could stop her. Moreover, Huo Qingfeng had allowed it.
"Song Tingyu, have your disciple wait outside next time. This is a confidential meeting!"
The elder surnamed Li said calmly with a cold snort.
Among the other upper echelons, his status was relatively high.
And now that he had contributed such important information, his confidence soared. He wanted to show off to Song Tingyu, wanting to outdo her.
However, just as the elder surnamed Li finished speaking, an astonishing aura immediately surged through the secret hall, stifling everyone and causing their souls and bodies to feel a stabbing pain.
"This …"
Elder Li looked at Huo Qingfeng in surprise.
This oppressive aura had been released by Huo Qingfeng.
The current Huo Qingfeng had once again stepped into the Imperishable Realm. His cultivation was far stronger than anyone else's.
"Do not mention this matter again!"
Huo Qingfeng said coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping across Elder Li. It was as if an invisible sword had pierced into Elder Li's mind.
"Yes!"
Cold sweat broke out on Elder Li's back as he nodded in agreement.
He hadn't expected that his words would cause Huo Qingfeng to be so displeased. Song Tingyu, on the other hand, seemed indifferent.
Looking at the similarly calm and seemingly unconcerned Zhao Feng, he was even more puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
As for the others, they became more cautious and suspicious of Zhao Feng.
Before long, the meeting ended. The location of the branch store was confirmed to be Sunharbor City.
Everyone dispersed after the meeting ended.
"Qingfeng, I'm going to Sunharbor City myself!"
Zhao Feng said seriously.
Whether or not the recently famous geniuses in Sunharbor City were Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin, he had to go and see them to be sure.
These two women had yet to recover their memories. It would be bad if other experts, nobles, or royalty got ahead of him.
"Master, you plan to …"
Huo Qingfeng probed.
"Go and take a look. They might even propose!"
Zhao Feng sighed. It was fortunate that he had opened the auction house and made a lot of money. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have had a betrothal gift.
"What …"
Huo Qingfeng immediately froze in place, his mouth slightly agape.
In his eyes, Zhao Feng had always been an unfathomable and hidden master. He hadn't expected him to be interested in those two geniuses and even propose marriage …
In the afternoon, Zhao Feng returned to the city lord's estate.
"Mm?"
Zhao Feng immediately sensed that something was wrong.
There were far fewer experts in the city lord's estate, and his father was not present.
Upon returning to the estate, Zhao Feng sought out the old steward, an amiable old man with a goatee.
"Steward, where did my father go?"
Zhao Feng asked.
"Master went to the Bloodfiend Sect. I heard that the Bloodfiend Sect intends to negotiate peace with Southcloud City!"
The old steward immediately said.
The Bloodfiend Sect was an evil path faction near Southcloud City. It was no weaker than Southcloud City, and the two sides had a grudge that spanned a thousand years.
If not for the fact that the two sides had exhausted each other, they would have been even stronger.
"Before Master left, he asked me to warn Young Master of one thing!"
The old steward approached Zhao Feng and whispered in his ear.
"Master said …"
But halfway through his words, the old steward's lips curled into a wicked smile, as if his plan had succeeded.
He extended his right hand, condensed his true energy into a blade, and thrust it forward.
But the old man's body suddenly trembled, and his entire body went stiff.
At some point, a small crimson sword had appeared in Zhao Feng's hand, and at this moment, this small sword had stabbed into the old steward's chest.
"Heaven-level top level …"
The old steward's body trembled and withered, his flesh and energy vanishing as he was reduced to a pile of bones.
The old steward was only at the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, but ordinary Imperishable Realm experts did not possess a top-level Heaven-level divine weapon. Even if Zhao Feng had not used the power of this divine weapon, the sharpness and characteristics of the sword would have been enough to instantly obliterate the old steward.
"As expected, something has happened!"
Zhao Feng sighed.
The moment he entered the city lord's estate, he had sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
At this moment, as if someone had given the order, many places in the city lord's estate exploded with powerful auras and killing intent.
In a flash, screams and the stench of blood began to fill the air.
At the same time, the entire city lord's estate began to tremble as a slaughter unfolded.
"Zhao Balong, what is the meaning of this?"
A loud voice resounded from the forbidden ground behind the city lord's estate, and then a white figure flickered out, transforming into a white-haired elder who glared furiously at a certain place.
"Grand Elder!"
"Grand Elder, the clansmen have rebelled!"
Many cries came from within the city lord's estate.
These people's sudden change in attitude and slaughter had caught the Zhao clan off guard.
"Haha, you old fart, the Zhao clan is mine!"
Zhao Balong suddenly charged out of a dark golden palace, a tyrannical aura suffused the air. This aura also contained a chilling fiendish energy.
"You colluded with Bloodfiend Sect?"
Grand Elder's complexion changed as he questioned loudly.
"You realized too late!"
Zhao Balong laughed.
At the same time, a bloody barrier spread out around the city lord's estate, covered in many evil patterns.
"This old man will kill you first, you traitor!"
The Grand Elder immediately charged out, a broad sword appearing in his hand as he swung it.
Zhao Balong stood in the air, unmoving and composed.
"Not good!"
The Grand Elder suddenly sensed danger and retreated. Boom!
Bang!
A sinister blood-red ghost head suddenly charged out of Zhao Balong's residence, howling as it charged at the Grand Elder.
The ghost head was so fast that the Grand Elder was unable to dodge in time, and one of his arms was bitten.
A look of determination appeared on the Grand Elder's face as he severed his arm.
As an Imperishable Realm expert, even if his body was damaged, he could rapidly recover. However, he discovered that a great deal of his energy and blood had been devoured.
Thwish!
A blood-robed, demon-faced elder emerged from Zhao Balong's residence, a wicked smile on his face. "We meet again!"
"Blood Spirit Child!"
The Grand Elder's eyes were dark and murderous.
