Within Lanjiang City, it was no secret that the Wei Family wanted to swallow up the Wu Family and unify the city. Thus, when word spread that the Wei Family's third master had broken through to the peak of Wu Huang, everyone knew that the Wei Family was about to make a big move.
As expected, a few days later, the Wei Family issued a final ultimatum to the Wu Family: reply within three days.
Everyone knew that no matter how the Wu Family responded, they would not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed up.
"Rumble …"
A series of orderly footsteps rang out as people gathered from all directions. They were all clad in jet-black armor, gleaming with a cold light and emanating a murderous aura that made people's hearts tremble.
It was the City Lord Manor's army.
Just as the people in the city were puzzled, the Wu Family's tightly shut gates opened. With Wu Xiangyun in the lead, a group of Wu Family guards followed behind him, all rushing in the same direction.
"Isn't that where the Wei Family is?"
Some of the people who were watching from the shadows immediately revealed astonished expressions. They did not understand what the Wu Family was trying to do.
"Eh? Why is the City Lord Manor's army going to the Wei Family as well?"
"Hiss … did the City Lord Manor and the Wu Family ally?"
"The Wei Family is too arrogant and despotic. If the Wu Family is destroyed, they will definitely attack the City Lord …"
…
At the entrance of the Wei Family's courtyard, Wei Zheng's face was ashen as he watched the army rushing in from all directions.
He had not expected the City Lord Manor to ally with the Wu Family.
This was the last thing he wanted to see. If the two joined forces, his Wei Family might not be able to withstand it. Even if they did, they would suffer heavy losses.
"Damn it, I should have killed him."
Wei Zheng gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering with malice.
It wasn't that he did not want to kill Gan Taiwen, but he was not confident that he could do so without the news spreading. That was why he had not acted yet.
His Wei Clan was a local overlord in Lanjiang City. However, if they were to publicly murder the City Lord, the Sealed Dark City would definitely send people over. At that time, his Wei Clan would have to bear the consequences.
Finally, Gan Taiwen and Wu Xiangyun were together. This caused the faces of the Wei family's people to darken.
The City Lord Manor had allied with the Wu Family.
"City Lord Gan, what is the meaning of this?"
Wei Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart, narrowed his eyes, and asked in a cold tone.
The city lord's manor could not take the initiative to destroy the factions within the city. If Gan Taiwen did so, even if he eliminated House Wei, he would not be able to keep his position as city lord.
He did not understand why Gan Taiwen was so eager to join forces with the Wu Family to deal with him.
"I don't have any intentions. Your House Wei has brought disaster to this region. As the city lord, I, Gan Taiwen, have the duty and responsibility to maintain the stability of this region. Today, I will uproot you, this malignant tumor, for Lanjiang City."
Gan Taiwen scolded him in a sonorous voice, not giving him any face at all.
Looking at Wei Zheng's enraged appearance, he felt carefree and extremely comfortable in his heart.
All these years, House Wei had never given him any face. This made him rather unhappy and even a little sullen. Now that he had shouted it out loud, how could he not feel good?
"Good, good, Gan Taiwen. I think you don't want to be the city lord anymore. How dare you use the city's army to openly pressure my House Wei? I will go to Sealed Netherworld City to report this matter. You, Gan Taiwen, can wait to be removed from your position."
Wei Zheng's body trembled with anger, his eyes burning with rage.
Gan Taiwen curled his lips disdainfully and cast him a stingy look.
Poor fellow, he still didn't know anything.
Swish, swish.
With two soft sounds, a handsome young man and a simple-looking middle-aged man appeared at Gan Taiwen's side.
"My lord."
Gan Taiwen greeted Fenghao respectfully under the rather startled gazes of the Wei family members when they saw him appear. Wu Xiangyun did the same to the side.
My lord.
The Wei Family members heard it clearly. This form of address immediately cast a shadow over Wei Zheng and the others' hearts.
Logically speaking, Gan Taiwen would never be so impulsive. Moreover, he had decided to ally with the Wu Family without any clues. It was very likely because of this young man who had appeared.
"Who is he?"
The Wei Family members discovered that they had never seen such a person before. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
"Could he be from Sealed Netherworld City?"
Wei Zheng's heart skipped a beat as an ominous premonition spread.
He didn't understand why someone like this would act against his Wei Family.
"Is everyone here?"
Feng Hao swept his gaze across the Wei Family's gate and asked Gan Wentai.
"My lord, all the Wu Huang realm experts of the Wei Family are here …"
Gan Taiwen nodded and replied with a humble look on his face. He then pointed out the location of every Martial Royal Realm expert.
"Yes, remember. Don't let even a fly escape."
Feng Hao didn't ask any questions. He nodded indifferently and headed straight for the Wei Family's gate. A faint pressure spread, bringing with it a seemingly solid undulation, as it pressed towards Wei Zheng and the dozen or so Wu Huang realm experts.
"Bang bang bang …"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone near and far, Wei Zheng and the others who were standing at the very front were immediately sent flying. They smashed through the door and walls behind them and fell into the rubble. The scarlet bloodstains on the ground and the messy scene caused the army from the city lord's residence, the Wu Family guards, and the Wei Family guards to be unable to return to their senses. They blankly stood where they were as if they had been petrified, unable to budge an inch.
Only a few anguished wails rang out from the rubble.
"Hiss …"
Gan Taiwen and Wu Xiangyun involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Although they already knew that this lord was tyrannical, they didn't expect that Wei Zheng and the others would be completely defeated with just his aura alone.
This level of strength was simply unimaginable to them.
"As expected of the geniuses from the Heavenly Academy …"
Gan Taiwen sighed in his heart. A fiery yearning flashed in his eyes.
"Bang bang …"
Two muffled sounds rang out one after another. The rubble exploded and two figures, one on the left and one on the right, rapidly flew in two different directions.
"Heavy Mysterious Domain."
A cold light flashed in Feng Hao's eyes. With a thought, two Heavy Mysterious Domains were formed. Immediately, the two figures directly exploded in mid-air, turning into a bloody mist that sprinkled down.
Even an expert of Wu Neng's level wouldn't be able to withstand the Heavy Mysterious Domain that had already grasped the seventh level of the Phantom Martial Force, let alone the people from the Wei Family.
"I'll leave the rest to you guys."
Fenghao cast a glance at the wailing man lying in the ruins. After leaving these words, he disappeared from the spot.
