C504 The Head of the Ling Family
Furthermore, Zhan Peng himself was a very capable man. He was only in his early thirties, but he was already about to break through to the Astral Martial Stage. He was one of the few among the young generation in the Royal City.
The middle-aged man from the Ling family had just stepped out of his mansion, and he wanted to find out what was going on. However, when he saw Zhan Peng trapped in the underworld, his expression instantly turned cold.
Fighting a Celestial Energy Stage Level One warrior had already caused him to lose face. Furthermore, he had been trapped for a long time, causing him to lose all his face. The guard didn't dare to explain anything to the middle-aged man, as he was afraid that the middle-aged man would get angry.
"Who is this kid?" The middle-aged man asked the tall and thin guard. The guard shivered. Then, he said, "Seventh Master, he called himself Han Feng, but Young Master Zhan Peng thought that he was a fake. He wanted to get closer to the young lady."
"Nonsense!" When the Seventh Master of Ling family heard the guard's words, he immediately shouted angrily. If the opponent was really Han Feng, he wouldn't even have the time to curry favor with him. How could he fight without asking any questions?
"Roar!" The furious roar shook the heaven and earth. Zhan Peng's body released an infinite amount of sharp Qi. A terrifying Celestial Roc was unleashed, as if it was going to hold up the heavens and support the earth. With the might of the King Dao, he finally broke through the world of hell. It broke free.
"I want you to die!" Zhan Peng, who had just broken free, lunged at Han Feng. He was like a divine weapon that was going to pierce through Han Feng.
The eyes of the middle-aged man from the Ling family sparkled. He hastily shouted, "Stop!"
However, Zhan Peng's fury had already reached the sky. How could he listen to the orders of the Seventh Master? A huge illusory Celestial Roc was wrapped around his body, and a sharp aura was unleashed from it, as if it was going to kill Han Feng.
"You don't know what death is." Han Feng smiled coldly in his eyes. After that, the sound of a flowing river could be heard from his body. The bloodline power roared, and his aura kept rising. At this moment, his sword broke through the will of a Level Nine. The power of the sword was all-conquering. As he pointed his finger out, the sword Qi seemed to have pierced through space. It struck Zhan Peng's body.
With a loud rumbling sound, the illusory Celestial Roc on Zhan Peng's body shattered. The sword Qi pierced through his left arm, causing him to fall to the ground from the sky.
Han Feng was about to kill Zhan Peng with another finger attack when he saw a figure walking towards him. The Destiny Spirit was unleashed, and it was a shield that was flickering with profound talisman symbols. It floated in front of Zhan Peng, blocking Han Feng's attack.
"Little friend, can you give me some face and stop the battle?" The Seventh Master of Ling family asked with a smile. He waved his palm and sent Zhan Peng flying back to the direction of Ling family.
A cold light flashed across Han Feng's eyes. This middle-aged man of Ling family would certainly not be able to kill Zhan Peng. He could only wait for the future.
"Senior, can you help me pass on the message to the young lady of your Prefecture? Tell her that Han Feng has something to ask of her." Han Feng spoke again. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of this trip. He couldn't ruin his plan just because of Zhan Peng.
"Are you really Han Feng?" A surprised look emerged in the eyes of the Seventh Master of Ling family. If it was before... He would certainly have some doubts, but after witnessing Han Feng's monstrous combat strength... He faintly believed that this young man could really be the Han Feng who shone brightly in the King's Banquet a few days ago.
"Why do you need to pretend to be him?" Han Feng couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that these people didn't believe his identity. No wonder he had caused so many troubles. This was truly ridiculous.
When the Seventh Master of Ling family saw Han Feng's extraordinary demeanor, he gradually believed in Han Feng's identity. Immediately, he ordered someone to inform Ling Wanqing and invite Han Feng into the Prefecture and to the meeting room.
"Little friend Han Feng, Zhan Peng was rash. Please don't blame him." The Seventh Master of Ling family didn't put on an overbearing attitude, as if he wanted to persuade ___ to resolve the conflict between the two of them.
Han Feng's heart trembled. This Ling family was truly worthy of being able to establish a business of refining pills and forging weapons all over State of Zhao. They were really capable and approachable. Even the elders didn't put on airs.
"Since Seventh Master has said so, I will investigate further. It seemed like I am being narrow-minded, but this kind of thing... Please don't do it again. " Han Feng said with a smile. Judging from the titles of the guards, this man should be the seventh brother of the current patriarch of Ling family. He was called "Seventh Master." He was strong, and wasn't obsessed with martial arts. However, he was good at managing businesses. He managed the properties of Ling family in an orderly manner.
Han Feng knew that Zhan Peng wouldn't be able to kill him in a short period of time. After this battle, Zhan Peng had learned his lesson, so he temporarily put the matter aside. For the sake of one person, it wasn't Han Feng's style to affect the overall situation.
"Little friend Han Feng really has an extraordinary bearing. I am deeply impressed by him." The Seventh Master of Ling family smiled faintly.
"Han Feng!" A clear and melodious voice was heard. Han Feng looked over and saw a graceful and elegant woman walking over. The smile on her face was like a peach blossom in April. It made people feel as if they were bathing in a warm spring breeze.
"Big Miss Ling." Han Feng stood up and slightly cupped his fists. He saw Ling Wanqing pouting a little unhappily, "What, you are still treating me like an outsider?"
"Wanqing, you pay Han Feng a visit and have a good chat. I still have things to do, so I will be leaving first." Ling family's Seventh Master seemed to have the intention of matchmaking Han Feng and Ling Wanqing. He gave Ling Wanqing a look and then stepped out.
"Seventh Uncle!" Ling Wanqing's pretty face was slightly red, but because Han Feng was present, she did not have much to say. She could only smile helplessly. She sat beside Han Feng and asked, "Han Feng, I will take you to see my father."
After saying this, Ling Wanqing seemed to realize that she had said something wrong. Her delicate face became even redder and showed a hint of playfulness.
Han Feng did not care about these details and lightly nodded. "Sorry to trouble Miss Ling."
"It's fine. It just so happens that I have nothing to do. My father also seems to want to see you. It's just that it is very difficult for you to invite him. I heard that the doors of the inn have been broken, but I still can't see you, Young Master Han Feng." Ling Wanqing said with a smile.
Han Feng smiled bitterly, "Miss Ling, don't make fun of me. There are countless people from the Ling family who want to come in, so why are you making fun of me?"
"Today is different from the past. You are the most popular person in Royal City. I just don't know why you didn't join the Divine Seal Palace." Ling Wanqing was curious. A force on the level of the Divine Seal Palace was above the Secular Kingdom. The foundation of the ___ was extremely deep, and she had no idea how many Elemental Martial Stage Expert of Martial Master Stages there were. Even her father admired it, but Han Feng refused to join.
Han Feng shook his head, "You will find out soon enough."
"Hmph, why are you pretending to be mysterious?" Ling Wanqing said discontentedly, but she was also a smart person. Everyone had some secrets in their hearts, and they could not be exposed to outsiders. She naturally would not ask.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a courtyard in the Ling family. This place was elegant and refined, and it seemed out of place with the imposing manner of the other places in the Ling family.
"This is my father's academy. He doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders, so he is resting and cultivating here." Ling Wanqing introduced.
"En, I understand." Han Feng slightly nodded his head. At the level of the Ling family's patriarch, he no longer lacked status, wealth, and wealth. There was no need for him to deliberately curry favor with anyone. His focus was definitely on his own cultivation.
Since it was a place of cultivation, he naturally didn't like to be disturbed by others.
"Is little friend Han Feng here?" Just as Han Feng was about to announce his arrival, a voice came from the courtyard and asked him.
"Junior Han Feng requests an audience with senior." Han Feng said while cupping his hands. Although he hadn't met the person himself, he was still very polite.
"Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew open the door of the courtyard. Han Feng strode in. Ling Wanqing was about to enter as well, but the patriarch of Ling family said with a smile. "I have something to discuss with little friend Han Feng. Wanqing, you can leave first."
"Oh." Ling Wanqing was a little depressed. She did not know what her father and Han Feng were talking about. They were so secretive that even she did not know.
"I will go and find you later." Han Feng said to Ling Wanqing with a smile, which made Ling Wanqing look a little better. She stuck out her tongue. "Ok, I will wait for you outside."
Han Feng responded and entered the courtyard. With a bang, the door of the courtyard closed on its own.
The courtyard was spacious. Other than some flowers and plants, there was only one room. Han Feng pushed the door open and entered the room. The interior of the room was very bright. A middle-aged man looked at him with a faint smile. Clearly, he was the patriarch of the Ling family.
"Greetings, master of Ling family." Han Feng cupped his fists and greeted. The patriarch of Ling family said with a smile, "No need to be so formal. Please take a seat."
Han Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down straight. Only now did he clearly see the face of the master of Ling family. Although he didn't look old, he could still see a trace of wind and frost Qi. Clearly, he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes.
Similar to the Seventh Master of Ling family, the patriarch of Ling family didn't have a high and mighty attitude. On the contrary, he looked very kind, as if he was an old friend who had just reunited after a long time. It made people involuntarily get close to him.
To be able to expand the business to the entire State of Zhao, the people of Ling family had their own unique ways of treating people.
"I heard that little friend Han Feng has obtained the top position in the King's Banquet, but I haven't congratulated him yet. It's really rude of me to do so." The patriarch of Ling family cupped his hands and said, as if he didn't treat Han Feng as a junior, but as a friend of the same generation.
"You are too polite, patriarch of Ling family. I have been wanting to pay you a visit for a long time. However, there are some mundane matters that have been delayed. Please don't blame me, senior." Since the other party had given Han Feng face, Han Feng naturally wouldn't ask for an inch. It was as if he was the number one expert in the King's Banquet, someone who held no regard for anyone. His attitude was... As usual, he was neither servile nor overbearing.
"You are very different." The patriarch of the Ling family looked at Han Feng. There seemed to be a profound meaning in his eyes. It was as if he wanted to see through Han Feng, "No matter who it is, even if it is a junior of Ling family. Other than Wanqing, everyone was trembling with fear when they saw this old man. It is as if there is a sharp sword hidden under my smile. But you are very good and are not afraid of me. I can see that... There's a pride in your bones."
"The Ling family Master should be very familiar with this kind of pride, right?" Han Feng met the eyes of the master of Ling family and seemed to be deep in thought.
