Feng Jun truly didn't care about the Zhu Family Ancestor's final strike—if he couldn't defeat you, couldn't he at least dodge?

But after the burst of wrath, he found it rather dull. He initially intended to stand up for Wu Mingrui, but that guy ended up committing suicide.

Why did he commit suicide? Was it because he worried Feng Jun couldn't defeat the Zhu Family and hoped he would flee quickly?

Feng Jun felt that might be the case, but it was also possible that Wu Mingrui feared the Zhu Family would retaliate against the Wu Family after his departure.

If he wanted the Wu Family not to suffer anymore, he could only hope that Feng Jun would wipe out the entire Zhu Family, but that was his wife's clan...

No matter the logic, Wu Mingrui was ultimately dead, leaving behind a daughter.

So Feng Jun decided to give the Zhu Family a chance. For him now, destroying a crippled Golden Core Family wouldn't bring any sense of accomplishment. The key was whether the Zhu Family understood how to conduct themselves.

Sure enough, the Zhu Family Ancestor was taken aback upon hearing this, "What do you mean Master Hanpo has fled?"

If he had the choice, he wouldn't want to make his final attack either.

At present, he relied solely on a breath of forceful will to cling to life. Naturally, he wished to protect his family for another decade. However, this time, Feng Jun's insult to the family was too severe. Not only did he kill a disciple at the Out-of-Dust stage, he even threatened to wipe out the whole Zhu Family Manor.

The Zhu Family Ancestor truly didn't have the confidence to kill the opponent, but inflicting severe damage was possible, allowing the family some time to flee, while he was sure to fall.

He wasn't afraid of sacrifice, but a meaningless sacrifice was best avoided. Not to mention, if the opponent really had a strong trump card, his desperate strike might just anger him more.

Feng Jun wasn't hurried to respond but rather asked with a frown, "Who from the Yinsha Sect came to pick up Hanpo this time, who instructed you to search for me, and what orders were given?"

"I don't know," the Zhu Family Ancestor answered straightforwardly, then looked at Zhu Gaoyang, "Gaoyang, you speak."

Zhu Gaoyang was also frightened by Feng Jun's words—did you mean you chased Master Hanpo around?

He hadn't considered this possibility before, but now thinking about it, considering the sequence of events, this statement might indeed be true—why did Master Hanpo appear suddenly and then disappear quietly?

So he straightforwardly clarified the sequence of events.

It turned out that a few days ago, the Yinsha Sect arrived at the Ginkgo Square Market, visited the places where several families were located, saying they intended to ambush someone. Because the opponent was highly wary of the Yinsha disciples, they hoped to borrow some manpower from several families.

Everyone thought it was a good thing—opportunities to earn favor with the Four Great Sects weren't many.

As to who the ambushed person was, the Yinsha Sect didn't say, and others didn't dare to ask, did they? They just obediently ran errands before and after.

Then one day, Master Hanpo appeared suddenly and told these families, the person we're tracking is called Feng Jun. That guy might not dare to come to Ginkgo, but I still hope you can keep a close eye on this person's whereabouts and report to Yinsha immediately if there's any news.

Zhu Gaoyang also stated that the leading disciple from the Yinsha Sect this time was Master Chengfeng, not a Golden Core.

Feng Jun frowned upon hearing this, "And then... you just inquire about me like this?"

"It's all because of that Master Chaoshen," Zhu Gaoyang couldn't help but exclaim, "He knew Master Chengfeng and claimed the Four Great Sects' dignity couldn't be compromised, voluntarily stating he would capture you."

"Don't talk nonsense with me," Feng Jun impatiently gestured with his hand, staring coldly at him.

"That Master Chaoshen is clearly more cautious than you in his actions. The matter of capturing my in-laws was done by the Zhu Family alone. I don't care if you want to exonerate yourself... I'm not interested in your little intrigues. I only have one request now, I want to hear the truth."

"I'm indeed telling the truth," Zhu Gaoyang spoke solemnly, "Master Chaoshen thought we could do more for Yinsha. If you don't believe it, I can confront him face-to-face."

"You'll have that opportunity!" Feng Jun glanced at him calmly, then flicked his hand to reveal two corpses, "Recognize them?"

The Zhu Family Ancestor in the air was suddenly startled at the sight, "Is this... is this Daoist Ling Bing?"

He was three hundred years older than Ling Bing and had witnessed the rise of this generation's prodigy.

"This one's called Yue Wu," Feng Jun kicked the other corpse, "The two of them... were with Hanpo. I took down two, then chased Hanpo around. Understand?"

"Master Yuewu?" Zhu Gaoyang drew a sharp breath, "Is he the young Array Master from the Yinsha Sect?"

"Why would I need to deceive you?" Feng Jun sneered at him, then turned to look at the Zhu Family Ancestor in the sky, "Now, you can make your final strike... I don't mind you bullying the weak, I can do it too!"

The Ancestor's gaze was a bit wandering, "Fighting here, is that okay?"

"Then you pick a place," Feng Jun replied indifferently, "Or you can call two more Golden Cores. I'll give you a chance."

The Ancestor hesitated, pointing at the two corpses on the ground, "Can I take a look at Daoist Ling Bing?"

"Alright," Feng Jun nodded, and the next moment, a Nine-Tailed White Fox as tall as a person appeared, "If you try any tricks, the chance for your final strike may be lost. I hope you cherish it."

"A demon beast?" The Zhu Family Ancestor gasped, then nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder."

Though his life force was decaying and he was near death, his eyesight remained keen. Feeling the surging life force of the other, he understood very well that this was undeniably a peak demon beast, possibly even half a step into Nascent Soul.

However, he decided not to reveal his insight, knowing that doing so might deliberately expose Feng Jun's trump card.

"What do you mean 'no wonder'?" Feng Jun looked at him displeased, "Let me tell you clearly, I killed Ling Bing, and Yue Wu was killed by it!"

The Zhu Family Ancestor felt another tremor in his heart, daring not to say more. He landed, walked to Ling Bing's corpse, crouched down slowly, and reached out to touch its forehead.

After a long while, he stood up, cupped his hands towards Feng Jun, and spoke with a hint of lament, "To suddenly see an old acquaintance, only to find they are separated forever, it's hard to hold back, I hope Feng Xiaoyou can forgive me."

"No need for such courtesy," Feng Jun waved his hand dismissively, "You'll be reunited soon enough."

Zhu Gaoyang's face turned pale upon hearing this, yet he lacked even the courage to retort.

The Zhu Family Ancestor smiled nonchalantly and bowed deeply, "This bow is my way of thanking Feng Xiaoyou for sparing the Zhu Family."

Sparing the Zhu Family? Zhu Gaoyang was momentarily stunned before realizing: the Ancestor's strongest strike, also the last strike, Feng Jun might sound aggressive but before the final strike, he explicitly mentioned "Master Hanpo."

This was giving the Zhu Family a lifeline!

Of course, if the Zhu Family failed to grasp this lifeline, then they faced inevitable consequences. Fortunately, the Ancestor, with over a thousand years of life, had not lived in vain.

Feng Jun merely smiled faintly, "So, do you still want me to take your final strike?"

"Of course not, I was foolish," the Zhu Family Ancestor chuckled bitterly, knowing his peak strike couldn't defeat that demon beast.

He bowed again, "Thank you, Feng Xiaoyou, for your leniency."

Feng Jun frowned, speaking with an imposing seriousness, "What do you mean by that? Did I say I would spare you?"

"That's certainly not what I meant," the Zhu Family Ancestor chuckled nonchalantly, "We definitely need to do something."

"Then make your decision quickly," Feng Jun said impatiently, "Why not just admit your stupidity? You're being used to stall me, yet you all think it's a good thing."

Zhu Gaoyang blushed with embarrassment, finally understanding Yinsha's intentions — as long as they made a commotion here and caught Feng Jun's attention, the Yinsha members had a clear opportunity to escape.

Yet... had Yinsha truly fallen to this point?

He felt dazed, while the Zhu Family Ancestor, being astute, decisively stated, "Detail the events from start to finish."

Things weren't too complicated and were quickly clarified, including how Feng Jun was invited today.

The Zhu Family Ancestor, being a decisive person, decisively declared, "Kill Wu Mingrui's little brother-in-law! Everyone involved in capturing Wu Mingrui must be killed!"

"Ancestor," Zhu Gaoyang hesitated, "He's Zhu Datong, at the Qi Refining Peak at thirty-eight."

Why was Zhu Datong so eager about this matter? He not only wanted to sever ties but also sought to gain an opportunity for transcendence.

Feng Jun chuckled indifferently, "Thirty-eight years old at Qi Refining Peak? I'm not even thirty-eight yet!"

In Luohua Manor, Zhang Caixin and Yu Qingzhu were very likely to ascend before the age of thirty-five, as was Gu Jiahui.

Of course, Zhu Gaoyang wasn't trying to defend this person; he was merely informing the Ancestor that this is the kind of person he needed to deal with.

The Zhu Family Ancestor spoke expressionlessly, "His cultivation path is wrong; the more talented he is, the more he deserves to die! To dare attack his own brother-in-law, my Zhu Family does not tolerate such rebellious disciples... you must handle it personally."

Feng Jun was somewhat satisfied with the old man's response — he at least understood the priorities, but there were some things Feng Jun wasn't willing to overlook, "Zhu Gaoyang cannot leave; his matters are not yet resolved."

The Zhu Family Ancestor sighed inwardly but maintained a smile.

He nodded, "Alright, the second point is, Wu Mingrui left behind a daughter, who the Zhu Family will take care of. We'll allocate three shops in the Fang Market and one hundred acres of Spirit Fields. The task of recruiting a husband for her when she grows up will be managed by the Zhu Family, and... it must be someone she likes."

"Oh?" Feng Jun looked at him in surprise. For this guy to say the last sentence showed he indeed had some brains, "Being able to consider the child's wishes, not all of the Zhu Family are complete fools."

"When she grows up, I might not even be alive, but Feng Xiaoyou surely will be," the Zhu Family Ancestor said with a smile, "If some fools start eyeing Wu Family's property, wouldn't that bring disaster to the Zhu Family?"
