Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Came to the Wrong Place

The crowd looked on, expressing that this person was really asking for trouble.

"Heh heh."

Yan Mo let out a cold laugh and said, "I wondered who it was. Turns out it’s the president of the Martial Arts Association, Zhang Feilong, gracing us with his presence."

"Heh heh."

Zhang Feilong laughed triumphantly, "Then you know what to do. Hand over Yan Rufeng."

"Just you?"

Yan Mo roared, and in the next moment, he appeared in front of Zhang Feilong.

Just as Yan Mo’s fist was about to strike Zhang Feilong’s chest, an invisible shield suddenly enveloped Zhang Feilong.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The ear-splitting sound of spiritual energy clashing echoed.

The crowd gasped, "A Transformation Realm expert."

"Haha..."

A terrifying laugh echoed through the hall.

"I never thought I would encounter a Qi Refinement expert here today. This trip was worth it," said the voice of Hu Qingshan.

"Who is this Hu Qingshan?"

The crowd looked on in confusion.

"My heavens, isn’t Hu Qingshan the former president of the martial arts world?"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "With Hu Qingshan here, it seems today’s not looking good for the Yan Family..."

"I don’t think so. Look here!"

"Hu Qingshan, I heard you’ve retired to the forests. Are you making a comeback today to help the Song Family against me, Yan Mo?" Yan Mo said coldly.

"Hmph."

"A mere junior dares to question me, Hu Qingshan? Seeking death."

"Haha..."

Yan Mo laughed heartily, "Hu Qingshan, don’t be so quick to draw conclusions about who will live or die today. You’ll find out after we fight."

"Just you?" Hu Qingshan sneered.

"What if you add me?"

The crowd turned to see Mu Yang stepping out at some point.

"Qi Refinement Third Level?" Hu Qingshan was extremely shocked.

Hu Qingshan’s cultivation was at the Qi Refining Fourth Level, giving him a strong advantage if he faced Yan Mo alone. However, facing two Qi Refinement Third Level experts at the same time made him hesitant.

Hu Qingshan was rattled. He didn’t want to fight, knowing well that someone of his caliber only struck to kill. Facing Yan Mo and Mu Yang together, he had no chance of winning, and he didn’t want to take that risk.

"Feilong, are you in the wrong place? There’s no Yan Rufeng here."

The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing Hu Qingshan, though they didn’t say anything outright. Inwardly, they thought, "Yan Rufeng is right there on stage watching you. Came to the Yan house looking for trouble, and now your face is slapped."

"Master, we..." Zhang Feilong said, puzzled.

"Feilong, let’s go." Hu Qingshan cut off Zhang Feilong, fearing that he would embarrass himself further.

"Thinking of leaving? Not that easy."

Finally, Yan Rufeng, standing beside Yan Feng and Mu Ru, couldn’t hold back any longer.

Earlier, when Song Wentao caused trouble, Yan Rufeng was ready to release his flying sword to finish him. But his grandfather Yan Mo jumped out first.

"Who might you be, young man?" Hu Qingshan asked with a smile.

Yan Rufeng snorted coldly, "I am Yan Rufeng. Weren’t you looking for me? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Master, he is Yan Rufeng. I want to kill him," Zhang Feilong’s eyes gleamed with red light.

"Slap."

Hu Qingshan slapped Zhang Feilong.

"Feilong, if you can kill Yan Rufeng, then go ahead."

Zhang Feilong was stunned by the slap and Hu Qingshan’s words. Puzzled, he asked, "Master, you promised to help me get revenge. Why the change now?"

"Hmph!"

Hu Qingshan snorted coldly, "Who is your master? Don’t stick gold to your face."

Zhang Feilong’s eyes went blank, filled with despair, "Master, tell me why."

Zhang Feilong, being only a Martial Artist Peak, couldn’t see the situation clearly. Hu Qingshan, who had stepped into the Transformation Realm years ago, knew better. When he released his divine sense to investigate Yan Rufeng, it was instantly repelled, causing him internal injury. A heavier strike from Yan Rufeng would have killed Hu Qingshan instantly.

"Why? Because you nearly got me killed. You think someone like you deserves to be my disciple?" Hu Qingshan said angrily.

"You two, master and disciple, stop this nonsense. Today, none of you are leaving here," Yan Rufeng said as he summoned his flying sword, pointing its tip at Hu Qingshan.

"Sword control!"

Hu Qingshan saw the floating sword in front of Yan Rufeng and despaired. Only those in the Foundation Establishment stage could control swords, meaning Yan Rufeng was already in that stage.

"Spare me, senior."

Hu Qingshan knelt before Yan Rufeng, begging for his life.

Faced with this turnaround, everyone in the hall, including people from various martial arts families, found it unbelievable.

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng laughed coldly, "Ridiculous. If I hadn’t been here today, my Yan family would have perished under the attack from you and the Song family. Why should I spare you? Give me a reason to spare you!"

"Please wait, senior. I’ll do it right away," Hu Qingshan said, standing up.

With an aura of killing intent, Hu Qingshan captured Song Wentao lying on the ground from a distance.

"Snap!"

Song Wentao didn’t even know what hit him before he stopped breathing. He never expected that the man he brought to kill others would end up killing him.

Hu Qingshan didn’t stop and then captured Zhang Feilong from a distance.

Gasping for breath, Zhang Feilong managed to say, "Master, don’t kill me..."

With a snap, Zhang Feilong also lost his breath.

The hall was eerily quiet. No one had ever seen a Transformation Realm expert in action, and today filled everyone with fear. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

"Senior, are you satisfied?" Hu Qingshan asked, bowing.

"I’m not very satisfied," Yan Rufeng said word by word.

"Senior, I know what to do. I’ll report back after the task is done," Hu Qingshan said.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the corpses of Song Wentao and Zhang Feilong vanished.

Yan Rufeng was taken aback, thinking, "The evil cultivator in the Southern Border who reached the Foundation Establishment stage didn’t have a storage bag, yet this guy in the Qi Refinement stage has one. Interesting."

Everyone in the hall was stunned by what they witnessed. No one expected that Hu Qingshan, already in the Transformation Realm, would be so humble in front of Yan Rufeng.

The Xiao Family Master, Xiao Ran, with a fearful face, thought, "The Yan family’s boy, Yan Rufeng, isn’t simple. Hu Qingshan, a senior, not only dared not speak much before him but also appeared fearful. This shows Yan Rufeng’s cultivation is exceptionally high. It’s better to maintain good relations with the Yan family..."

Mu Family Patriarch Mu Zihao, upon seeing this, thought, "I wonder if that Yan family’s boy is married. When I go back, I need to find out..."

Everyone had their own thoughts and began to discuss, making the hall noisy.

The host, who had been scared stiff, was just cured by Yan Rufeng, who also erased his recent memories. Smiling, the host said, "Host, may my parents’ wedding proceed now?"

"Sure, it seemed I fell asleep just now. Sorry about that."

The host composed himself and got into the spirit.

"Friends, family members, honored guests, let us with our sincerest hearts, wish this couple a lifetime of happiness and many children..."

Just as Yan Rufeng’s parents’ wedding concluded, a military jeep pulled up outside the Kyoto Restaurant.

Stepping out was Base General Lu Mingliang. As he entered the hall, he laughed, "Comrade Rufeng."

Yan Rufeng was surprised, "General Lu, what brings you here?"

"General Lu?"

Someone in the crowd whispered.

"Is this person someone important in the military? How does Yan Rufeng know someone from the military?"

"Who knows? Anyway, this Yan Rufeng isn’t simple. The military is in need of people, so his involvement makes sense."

"Heh heh, this Yan Rufeng, starting as a Jade Sculpture Master at the Treasure Pavilion, defeated the martial arts world’s best, crowned as Huaxia’s number one. Now even Transformation Realm experts fear him. I can’t figure him out more and more..."

Lu Mingliang laughed, "I came to congratulate you. Not welcoming me? You didn’t inform me about your parents’ wedding and your grandfather’s birthday. You’re getting me in trouble here."

Yan Rufeng sighed and smiled, "Rejecting extravagance, following orders, being a good comrade."

"Look at you showing off. Today, I’ll not give a gift, just drink. You won’t not invite me, right?" Lu Mingliang joked.

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Please, General Lu, take the seat of honor."

During the feast, Yan Mo and Mu Yang learned from Lu Mingliang that Yan Rufeng was also an instructor of a special unit. They couldn’t be more delighted, and the drinks kept flowing. Seeing the situation, Lu Mingliang had to excuse himself from the scene.

Yan Rufeng followed him out, handed him a cigarette, and asked, "General Lu, is everything fine at the base?"

"With Ji Yun there, what could happen?" Lu Mingliang responded seriously.

Yan Rufeng raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I know the base is fine, but you certainly have a reason for coming here today!"

"Heh heh."

Lu Mingliang chuckled, "You’re right. The Security Bureau has a tricky matter that needs our attention."

"General Lu, just say it, what is it?"

"This isn’t the place to discuss it. Once your grandfather’s birthday is over, I’ll visit you and tell you in detail," Lu Mingliang said earnestly.

"Alright, let’s go back to drinking," Yan Rufeng said, pulling Lu Mingliang back into the private room.

Once the wedding feast ended, Hu Qingshan arrived at the Kyoto Restaurant. He stood outside, not daring to enter until Yan Rufeng appeared. Bowing, he said, "Senior Yan, I have completed the task."

With that, Hu Qingshan pulled out a folder from his storage bag.

Yan Rufeng glanced through it and nodded in satisfaction, "Your life is spared, but you must abolish your cultivation before you can leave."

"Thank you, senior, for sparing my life."

Hu Qingshan, bearing immense pain, abolished his own cultivation and left the Kyoto Restaurant under the strange gazes of everyone.

No one knew what Hu Qingshan had done to be spared by Yan Rufeng.

The next day, the eight hidden martial arts families in the capital were reduced to seven. The Song Family was eradicated overnight. Not only that, but over a hundred Song family members, including Zhang Dafu from Zhongzhou, all disappeared overnight. All the Song family’s assets were transferred to the Yan family, propelling them to the top three families in the capital.
