Hu Hu~~~
Yang Feilong walked out of the house. After assisting Murong Patriarch in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, he no longer needed to stay.
"Feilong, how is it? Did the old man break through?" A formidable aura emanated from the house. Based on their estimations, it was highly likely he had broken through, but they couldn't help but want confirmation.
Everyone held their breath, watching Yang Feilong. They didn't want to get their hopes up for nothing.
"En, I have not failed in my mission." Yang Feilong nodded.
Upon hearing Yang Feilong's affirmative words, smiles bloomed on everyone's faces again, and their anxiety completely dissipated.
Yang Feilong had indeed not disappointed them.
The wait was not long. After Murong Jingyue broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he quickly stabilized his cultivation. He had remained at the peak of the Core Formation realm for too long, and after this breakthrough, it only took a few hours to stabilize his cultivation.
Although his cultivation was stable, his powerful aura could not be concealed for the time being, and he was enveloped by a formidable presence.
"Feilong, thank you so much this time!" Murong Jingyue looked at Yang Feilong, his face filled with excitement and boundless gratitude.
It seemed Yang Feilong's help wasn't immense. He already had the foundation to attempt a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm. However, repeated failures had made both his Core and Nascent souls imperfect, even leaving some hidden injuries. If this continued, he would drift further and further away from the Nascent Soul realm.
He even secretly mused that if he had known Yang Feilong's medical skills were so potent, he should have asked for help earlier. Of course, at that time, Yang Feilong was only at the Innate realm, and even if he wanted to help, he might not have been able to.
Next, he looked towards Murong Qiuyue. It could be said that his family's close relationship with Yang Feilong all stemmed from Murong Qiuyue saving Yang Feilong back then.
As the saying goes, every action has its consequence; destiny is predetermined.
This was Murong Qiuyue's good fortune, and also the good fortune of their Murong family!
"Old Patriarch, there's no need for politeness. As I said before, we are all family." Yang Feilong said with a smile.
Murong Haotian chuckled in agreement, "Feilong is right."
After all, his sister and daughter had become his women. If he didn't care about the Murong family, then he would have to have a serious talk.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard: "Patriarch, Old Ancestor, a group of people have arrived at the gate."
"A group of people? What is their identity?" Murong Haotian frowned.
"Those people are from the Xiao family." the person replied.
"The Xiao family?" Murong Haotian's brow furrowed. Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but look at Yang Feilong.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, they should be here for me!" Yang Feilong said. When he entered the city, he hadn't made any effort to conceal himself. The major powers of Yong'an City must have known.
Among these families, there must be some lackeys of the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family was not a top-tier cultivation family, they were among the best of the second-tier cultivation families. On the surface, they had four or five Nascent Soul realm experts, and who knew how many were hidden.
And the Xiao family was considered the family with the deepest enmity towards Yang Feilong. He had even been cursed by that fellow after killing the third young master of the Xiao family, and then the Xiao family had pursued him throughout the entire Spirit Realm.
During his escape, he had killed countless people from the Xiao family.
Between them, a deadly feud had long been forged.
"Feilong, although the Xiao family is powerful, they wouldn't dare to do anything to our family, because we actually have backing," Murong Jingyue said. He had always concealed the true situation of his family, and only a few core members knew about it. The Xiao family also knew about it.
This was also why the Xiao family hadn't directly stormed their gates.
"Let them in!" Yang Feilong said.
"This... Alright. If they dare to try and seize by force, I will stop them even if it costs me my life!" Murong Jingyue said grimly. Yang Feilong's strength was formidable, but in his opinion, it was still inferior to some of the top Nascent Soul realm experts of the Xiao family.
After all, despite Yang Feilong's great talent, his cultivation years were still too short!
Murong Jingyue said to Murong Haotian, "Then let them in!"
...
Time shifts back slightly.
At the entrance of the Murong family, a group of people arrived. The number was not large, only five. The auras of these five people appeared quite ordinary.
However, those watching from afar, upon seeing these five, were all struck with fear.
"These five people from the Xiao family are truly powerful!"
"Indeed. Among the five, aside from Xiao Gangqiang, who is a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation realm, the other four are all peak Nascent Soul realm experts."
"What are they doing at the Murong family?"
"They've come to the Murong family to force them to hand over Yang Feilong!"
"Yang Feilong? When did he arrive?"
"He arrived this morning. It seems you haven't been paying attention to the Murong family's situation!"
"However, I am curious, why are the Xiao family, who are so powerful, being so polite to the Murong family? This is not the behavior of a second-tier cultivation family like the Xiao family! After all, the Murong family is just an ordinary third-tier cultivation family."
"Who knows? Perhaps the Xiao family members are just more polite, so they are being courteous first before resorting to force?"
"Cough, cough, you're overthinking it. The reason the Xiao family is being courteous first is because the Murong family has an unusual background."
"What's so unusual about the Murong family's background?"
"It's rumored that the Murong family has a connection with the Murong family of Central Continent!"
"Central Continent is full of powerful families, and the Murong family has a connection with that Murong family in Central Continent?"
"Rumor has it they do have a connection, but the specifics are unclear. However, the Xiao family definitely knows something, otherwise, they wouldn't be so deferential!"
"Even if they are being deferential now, coming here is to pressure the Murong family to hand over Yang Feilong. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come directly!"
Of course, these people were communicating through telepathic transmission and from a distance, fearing offending the Xiao family members.
The Xiao family dared not go too far with the Murong family, but these people without any backing, even if killed, their families could only endure in silence and not dare to seek revenge for them.
"Esteemed guests, please come in!" The person who went to report quickly came out and said respectfully to the five Xiao family members.
They had no choice but to be respectful. These were all formidable figures, beings who could kill him with a single breath.
"Let's go!" The leading elder of the Xiao family said calmly.
"Yes!" everyone responded.
Following that, the group entered the Murong family.
"Old Ancestor, we don't really need to show this Murong family any respect," Xiao Gangqiang said. "After all, Tengfei is about to get engaged to the eldest daughter of the Wang family. We also have the Wang family as our backing, and the Wang family is even stronger than the Murong family."
"We don't need to show the Murong family respect, but we must show respect to the Murong family of Central Continent! The Wang family is indeed a bit stronger than the Murong family, but the Murong family of Yong'an City is a direct branch of the Murong family of Central Continent. We are merely in-laws, and the relationship is evident." the Xiao Patriarch said calmly.
Xiao Gangqiang nodded upon hearing this.
"Of course, we only want to capture and kill Yang Feilong. I believe they won't confront us! After all, we've done what we should have done, being courteous first, and we won't kill any Murong family members later. This way, the Murong family of Central Continent won't make a big deal out of it!" the Xiao Patriarch said calmly.
Everyone understood upon hearing this.
If they acted this way, the Murong family of Central Continent would not be able to find fault with them. If they were truly ignorant and caused trouble, their Xiao family believed that the Wang family of Central Continent would definitely not stand by and watch, as they had done nothing wrong, and they were considered in-laws!
