In the main hall of the Qi Mansion.
Qi Feng sat proudly at the head of the table. He was about forty years old and had a determined look on his face. His eyes flashed from time to time.
"Congratulations, Grandmaster Qi!"
Countless guests entered the hall and bowed respectfully to Qi Feng. Their faces were full of flattery.
Qi Feng was originally Gan Tingjun's disciple and had a noble status. Now that he had reached the Connate Level, he was intimidating and many people didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Well said!" Qi Feng cupped his fists with a proud look on his face.
He was only forty years old, but he had already reached the Connate Level. He could be called a genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years. Even his master was full of praise for him.
"Grandmaster Qi, I didn't expect you to reach the Connate Level this time. You're not inferior to Grandmaster Yang," someone said respectfully. The people around him couldn't hold him back even if they wanted to.
This person had just arrived from another city and didn't know the situation in the capital.
"Humph!" Qi Feng snorted. His face was full of displeasure.
He hated it when people compared him to Yang Xuan.
He sneered when he thought about how Yang Xuan was rumored to be less than twenty years old.
How was that possible? How could there be such a young Connate Level expert in the world?
Even if there was, they must have taken a Connate Golden Pill to reach the Connate Level.
How could he compare to an expert like him, who had reached the Connate Level with his own willpower and talent?
As for Xuan Wenli?
Humph, Xuan Wenli relied on the Connate Golden Pill to reach the Connate Level. It wasn't surprising that Yang Xuan could defeat him.
Moreover, he heard that Xuan Wenli wasn't even injured.
When he returned to Yan Jing City, he heard that there was a new Grandmaster Yang in the city. He was in the limelight and even had the momentum to surpass his master.
When he asked again, he found out that Grandmaster Yang dared to injure his junior brother in front of everyone. It was intolerable.
When he personally went to the Yang Mansion to test his strength against Yang Xuan, unfortunately, Yang Xuan wasn't there. Instead, an old man spoke rudely.
Connate Level experts couldn't be humiliated.
Long before he entered the Xiantian Realm, he already knew this sentence.
"You dare to jump around in front of me? You're courting death." Qi Feng sneered, disdainful of the Yang Xuan everyone was talking about.
He was just a guy who advanced after eating the Innate Golden Core. If he killed one or two of your subordinates, you wouldn't dare to say anything.
Qi Feng thought to himself.
At this time, in the Qi Residence, guests from various places came to congratulate him. They all brought generous gifts, wanting to use this opportunity to establish a relationship with this newly promoted Xiantian Master.
For a moment, the place was bustling with noise and excitement.
"The head of the Cheng Family has arrived."
"Lord Li from the Ministry of War has arrived."
"Lord Gong from the Ministry of Justice has arrived."
"The head of the Zhang Clan has arrived."
…
The master of ceremonies at the entrance kept singing as he led the guests in one after another.
Qi Feng casually looked around, but his expression gradually darkened.
This time, he used the excuse of celebrating his birthday to invite guests. He wanted to announce his name to the world.
But until now, no one from the Yang Family had come. Could it be that they really didn't put him in their eyes?
"The head of the Yang Family, Yang Qingshan, has arrived." Suddenly, the master of ceremonies' voice came from the entrance.
Following the master of ceremonies' voice, the bustling hall suddenly fell silent. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
All the guests looked at each other in dismay.
Everyone knew that Qi Feng had gone to the Yang Family and killed a Yang Family disciple.
Qi Feng had invited the Yang Family with the intention of humiliating them, but no one expected the Yang Family to really come.
"Could it be that the Yang Family gave in and bowed their heads to Qi Feng?" Someone guessed.
"I think so. Master Yang still doesn't dare to show his face and let the Yang Family be bullied. He must have gone into hiding."
"Thinking about it, Yang Xuan is after all young. How could he dare to offend Master Gan?"
"Master Qi is Master Gan's disciple and has a deep understanding of his teachings. Yang Xuan has just entered the Innate Stage and doesn't have a strong foundation. It's tactful for him to bow his head like this."
"I don't think so. Master Yang was able to defeat Master Xuanwen in front of everyone that day. His cultivation is amazing. Master Qi might not be a match for him."
"So what? Can he be a match for Master Gan? As the saying goes, you have to look at the master before beating a dog. Even if Master Qi isn't a match for him, can he overturn the sky in Master Gan's hands? "
"Ah, you dare to call Master Qi a dog? You're dead meat. "
"F * ck you, I'm just using a metaphor. You're the dog."
Qi Feng was also stunned. Then, he saw Yang Qingshan, who he had injured, walk in with a person. Behind him were four disciples of the Yang Family, carrying a huge box covered in red cloth.
Qi Feng's lips curled into a smile.
Although he didn't know how Yang Qingshan had recovered from his injuries in such a short time, the Yang Family's arrival today had already explained the situation.
"Yang Xuan, at least you know what's good for you!" Qi Feng sneered in his heart. At this moment, his disdain for Yang Xuan reached its peak.
So what if he was the youngest Innate Stage expert? Didn't he still get trampled under my feet? I killed your people and you didn't even dare to fart. You even sent someone to congratulate me on my birthday.
"Master Qi!" Yang Qingshan cupped his fist at Qi Feng with determination in his eyes.
Now that things had come to this point, he had completely let go. He was not just representing himself, but the entire Yang Clan. Most importantly, he was representing Yang Xuan.
"Patriarch Yang, your injuries have healed quite quickly." Qi Feng took two steps forward with a smile on his face. "You must have used some kind of natural treasure."
Yang Qingshan cupped his fist and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Qi. We're here today on the orders of the Grand Elder of the Yang Family to present a birthday gift to Master Qi."
As soon as he said that, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Outsiders might not know that Yang Xuan was the Grand Elder of the Yang Family, but how could the people in Yan Jin not know?
When they heard that it was Yang Xuan who had sent someone to deliver a gift, their hearts skipped a beat.
Yang Xuan really lowered his head.
Many people had the same thought in their minds.
What's more, some people's evaluation of Yang Xuan had plummeted and they even had a trace of disdain.
"I knew it. As expected, Grandmaster Yang still lowered his head."
"That's right. Does he really dare to offend Master Gan? If it were me, I would also take this opportunity to mend my relationship with Master Gan. "
"In the end, it's all because of Master Gan."
"Master Gan is the number one Grandmaster in Yan Country after all. Ordinary Connate Masters wouldn't dare to offend him."
"The Yang Family's business has been suppressed by Master Qi recently. I don't think Yang Xuan is necessarily Master Qi's opponent."
"That's possible. Otherwise, why hasn't he appeared yet?"
Yang Qingshan's words caused a commotion among the crowd. They all looked down on Yang Xuan.
Qi Feng twirled his beard and said coldly, "Why isn't Yang Xuan here?"
He still had some regrets in his heart. If Yang Xuan could come in person and present a gift to him, then his reputation would reach the peak.
The thought of a Connate Master bowing down in front of him gave him an indescribable feeling.
A trace of coldness appeared in Yang Xuan's eyes. This Qi Feng was indeed arrogant. No matter what, Yang Xuan was also a Connate Master. But Qi Feng actually called him by his name without the slightest respect in his tone. He was really arrogant to the extreme.
Anger also appeared on Yang Qingshu's face. Yang Xuan had a high status in the Yang Clan and was respected by all the Yang Clan disciples. But at this time, Qi Feng's tone was frivolous, without the slightest bit of bearing. It was indeed annoying.
"Elder Yang's whereabouts are unknown. We don't know what he is thinking. We are here under orders. Please accept the gift, Master Qi." Yang Qingshan said with a cold face.
"Okay, then let's see what Yang Xuan's gift is," Qi Feng said indifferently, but a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
He was greedy. Before he became a Connate Master, he had already used Gan Tingjun's name to amass wealth. Now that he was a Connate Master, he naturally had no scruples.
But in the capital, the various families had complicated relationships. Every family could implicate famous people. Some even had private properties of Yan Feiyun or Gan Tingjun, so it was not easy to make a move.
Only the Yang Family had just arrived and did not have a deep foundation.
This was also the fundamental reason why he suppressed the Yang Family's properties.
Yang Qingshan and Yang Qingshu looked at each other and then stepped back slightly. Behind them, the four disciples of the Yang Family took two steps forward and placed the huge box on the ground.
"Bang!"
A soft sound was heard. It was obvious that the box was very heavy.
Everyone's gaze fell on the box, quietly watching it.
The red cloth was lifted, and a huge mahogany box was revealed.
Under everyone's gaze, Yang Qingshu went forward and slapped the mahogany box open.
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the mahogany box shattered into countless pieces and cracked open, revealing the item inside.
"Hiss!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and was stunned on the spot.
They saw a huge bell standing quietly on the spot.
