"My purpose in coming here is to destroy House Wei."
Feng Hao looked at Gan Taiwen calmly as he spoke indifferently. His tone showed that he didn't care about the overlord faction of Lanjiang City at all.
Both Quan Yong and Gan Taiwen looked at him in astonishment when they heard this.
After a short while, the two of them came to their senses.
Indeed, if there was really a heaven-rank alchemist before them, not just destroying House Wei, but even the great families of Sealed Netherworld City.
"What, do you have a problem with that?"
Seeing that Gan Taiwen didn't speak, Feng Hao raised an eyebrow and his tone grew solemn.
Could the city lord before him also be controlled by House Wei?
A cold glint flashed across his eyes as a biting cold aura spread out.
"No, no …"
Gan Taiwen came to his senses and shook his head repeatedly. His entire body was drenched in sweat as he sensed the aura that could freeze a person's soul, and his face was somewhat pale.
He was certain that although this young man before him looked to be in his twenties, he was definitely not someone he could compare to. He could sense that if Feng Hao wanted to take his life, it would be a piece of cake.
When had House Wei offended such a great god?
He couldn't figure it out, but when his gaze swept past Quan Yong, he seemed to understand something.
"Very good."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be acting strangely, Feng Hao withdrew his aura and said, "Gather all the troops in the city and prepare to take down House Wei in one fell swoop. Understood?"
"This …"
Upon hearing these words, a pained expression appeared on Gan Taiwen's face. When Fenghao's expression turned cold, he explained, "Great master, you might not know this, but according to the rules, our city governor's mansion is not allowed to suppress the factions within the city …"
The various city lord's residences were subtle existences. Their existence could only keep the factions within the city in check and make them compete with each other. At certain times, they could pressure a certain faction to maintain a balance, but they couldn't destroy it unless the faction committed treason.
If not for this reason, Gan Taiwen and the Wu family would have long since destroyed House Wei.
"So that's how it is."
Feng Hao frowned slightly.
After some observation, he was certain that Gan Taiwen was not a member of House Wei. If he was, then House Wu would have been swallowed up long ago. According to Quan Yong, if Gan Taiwen, the city lord, had not kept House Wei in check and not allowed the two families to fight on a large scale, House Wu would have been long gone.
"However, I still feel that a faction like House Wei should not exist. They are like a malignant tumor that must be eradicated. Otherwise, they will only bring harm to everyone."
Feng Hao's tone was as cold as before, filled with dense killing intent. He cast a glance at Gan Taiwen, who still had a troubled expression, and raised his brows. With a flip of his hand, he took out the identity token of the Heavenly Academy and threw it to Gan Taiwen.
"This is …"
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Gan Taiwen's eyes directly widened. His eyes were filled with shock, and the hand holding the jade pendant was trembling, as if the jade pendant weighed thousands of kilograms.
Others might not know what this jade pendant represented, but as the City Lord, how could he not know?
He would never have guessed that the young man in front of him was actually someone from the Heavenly Academy.
The Heavenly Academy ah, that was the highest academy of the human race. All the descendants of the supreme forces and clans were trying their best to enter. However, how many people were able to enter the Heavenly Academy every ten years?
Very, very few. Only the geniuses among geniuses had the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Academy.
And in front of him, there was such a person.
Immediately, his eyes were filled with fire, and his breathing uncontrollably quickened.
The person in front of him was an existence that could become a Great Saint expert. To him, that was already an existence akin to a god.
"Alright, it's good that you understand."
Just when he was about to say something, Feng Hao stopped him and said, "As for the checks and balances that you want, I believe that with your ability, it shouldn't be a problem for you to nurture another force."
"No problem, Lord."
Gan Taiwen lowered his head, the shock in his eyes clearly visible. At the same time, he also changed the way he addressed Ye Xiwen, directly calling him Lord without the slightest hesitation.
The Wei Clan was finished.
"En."
Only then did Feng Hao nod in satisfaction. He swept a glance at Quan Yong, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly. "How about this, in order to reduce some of your burden, go and call the Wu Clan's patriarch over. When the time comes, let the Wu Clan also contribute."
"Understood, Lord."
After Gan Taiwen returned the jade pendant to Feng Hao, he hurriedly walked out of the main hall and headed in the direction of the Wu Clan. He didn't care at all that the Wei Clan's spies were following him.
If it was really only the City Lord's Mansion and the Wu Clan working together, the Wei Clan could still put up a fight. The final result would definitely be a lose-lose situation.
But now, the situation was different.
If the human race was compared to a kingdom, then Lanjiang City was a small town, and the Heavenly Academy was the capital. The students of the Heavenly Academy were considered as the capital's law enforcement team. Not to mention a small Wei Clan, even if Gan Taiwen himself was killed by Feng Hao on the spot, no one would pursue Feng Hao's responsibility.
Now, Gan Taiwen faintly rejoiced in his heart.
Back then, the Wei Clan had used all sorts of methods to make him relent. Fortunately, he had always insisted on his own principles. Otherwise, what awaited him now would be the end of the world.
Although Quan Yong didn't understand what the jade pendant represented, it wasn't hard to tell from Gan Taiwen's expression that Feng Hao's background was definitely extremely astonishing.
Otherwise, how could the originally hesitant Gan Taiwen change his mind so quickly? Moreover, he even called him Lord.
Lord, not Great Master. Generally speaking, Lord was a respectful title for one's superior.
Thinking of this, he was both happy and excited.
Perhaps, he really had hope of reuniting with his lovely wife and family.
Not long after, the Wu Clan's patriarch, Wu Xiangyun, followed Gan Taiwen in.
"Lord, the Wu Clan's patriarch has arrived."
Arriving at the front, Gan Taiwen respectfully cupped his hands towards Feng Hao. He didn't show the slightest disrespect because the latter was only a young man.
"Lord."
Wu Xiangyun was immediately startled when he heard Quan Yong's respectful tone. With a sweep of his eyes, he discovered Quan Yong's existence. His eyes instantly narrowed as a fierce aura suddenly rose and pressed forward. He berated, "Quan Yong, you actually dare to appear in front of me. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
"Wu Xiangyun, don't be rude."
Seeing him suddenly attack, Gan Taiwen was instantly alarmed and hurriedly stopped him. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
He never imagined that Wu Xiangyun would be so reckless.
