Chapter 560: Hong Feng
Upon seeing the arrival of these individuals, Feng Xuan and his companions halted their actions.
Although their auras remained sharp, they had already subtly focused on their opponents.
Su Jingzhen did not recognize any of them.
He calmly looked at Feng Xuan and the others.
Feng Xuan’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed as well.
Even he could only recognize two of them.
The others, with even more impressive auras and transcendent appearances, were completely unknown to him.
However, Feng Xuan’s heart was slightly uneasy.
“Gentlemen, what brings you to the Tuoba Family?
If you want to make a deal, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is the place to go. This is a private residence of the Tuoba family, and the surroundings are not very appropriate, is it?”
An elder standing at the front said this.
His aura was of the Divine Intent Realm. He looked at Su Jingzhen and the others with a smile on his face without any panic.
“This man is Tuoba Zhenxiong, the former head of the Tuoba Clan, who has been retired for a long time. His cultivation might not be weaker than mine.”
As the elder spoke, Feng Xuan’s voice suddenly echoed in Su Jingzhen’s ears.
Su Jingzhen’s heart stirred, and Feng Xuan continued, “Next to him is the current head of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Yanyan, a mere Soul Formation level cultivator, nothing to be feared.
But the aura of the people behind them is even stronger, and I can’t recognize them at all, so we have to be careful.”
Upon hearing Feng Xuan’s warning, Su Jingzhen’s heart became slightly more serious.
He silently transmitted to Bai Suzhen at his waist, “Suzhen, this trip to the Tuoba family might not be so easy.
Keep an eye on me, and lend me your strength if necessary.”
Su Jingzhen always preferred to be prepared.
Since Feng Xuan had warned him, he naturally had to make contingency plans.
Otherwise, if the Tuoba Family had indeed called for reinforcements and they were defeated, it would be too much of a loss.
After all, the Tuoba family was different from other top factions in Qingzhou; they were the family of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
They could contact the Luo River Basin and even the Zhongzhou Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Although the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, like other influential factions, generally did not interfere in local family disputes, there were always those who liked to interfere.
The moment Tuoba Zhenxiong’s words fell, Feng Xuan stepped forward.
“In recent years, the Tuoba family of the Holy City is no longer fit to run the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
My Feng family is willing to take over the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
This visit is for that very reason.”
Feng Xuan’s tone was quite domineering as he spoke.
Obviously, he had no intention of engaging in too much banter with the Tuoba family.
He came straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuntian and the others from the Bai family changed their expressions and suddenly became serious.
They quietly began to circulate their energy, knowing that the Tuoba family had not directly participated in the incident with the Evil Moon Sect and had preserved their strength quite well.
It would be difficult to defeat them with just their current numbers, and they would probably have to pay a price.
They were already prepared for a big battle.
“Hehe, Feng Xuan, coming out of seclusion is a good thing, but have your years of cultivation behind closed doors burned your brain?
How does the strength of the Tuoba Clan compare to that of the Feng Clan? I think you know better than me.
Why put yourself in trouble?
I know you’ve formed an alliance with the Bai family, the Alchemist Association, and the Evil Moon Sect.
But do you really think those factions can dictate to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?
If you insist, then perhaps a messenger from the Luo River Basin will be needed to talk to you.”
As he spoke, Tuoba Zhenxiong pointed at the three elegantly dressed and dignified middle-aged men standing behind him.
Since Feng Xuan did not beat around the bush and directly stated his intentions, Tuoba Zhenxiong naturally had no reason to hesitate.
He revealed his trump card right away.
In fact, the three behind him were from the Luo River Basin Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
As Tuoba Zhenxiong’s words fell, the auras of these three seemed to coordinate and revealed themselves.
Two of them were at the Late Divine Intent stage, and one of them was at the Unity Realm!
When the aura of the Unity Realm cultivator was revealed, the expressions of everyone present became even more solemn.
Even the ordinary cultivators of the Bai family unconsciously took a few steps back.
For these ordinary cultivators of the Bai family, this was the first time they had experienced such overwhelming pressure from a Unity Realm expert.
Many of them started to tremble.
No doubt, a single Unity Realm expert could wipe out all of their allied forces.
Seeing the reactions of the allied cultivators, Tuoba Zhenxiong and Tuoba Yanyan’s lips curled into a contemptuous smile.
They had to admit that relying solely on the Tuoba family, they could not stand up to the current allied forces, not even enough for a direct clash.
However, the weight of the name of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was too great.
Since the headquarters of the Luo River Basin Treasure Gathering Pavilion was willing to send people to support and help the Tuoba family, this was an opportunity for the Tuoba family,
This was an opportunity for the Tuoba family.
If the Feng family wanted to swallow them up, they also had the same ambition towards the Feng family.
At that moment, the Unity Realm cultivator stepped forward.
He smiled coldly.
“I am Hong Feng, an enforcer from the Luo River Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
You are Feng Xuan, right? From this moment on, I declare that the Yunmeng City Treasure Gathering Pavilion, no, the entire Qingzhou Treasure Gathering Pavilion, will be managed by the Tuoba family.
Do you have any objections?”
The middle-aged man named Hong Feng looked at Feng Xuan with a contemptuous smile.
As the enforcer of the Upper Luo River Treasure Gathering Pavilion and a Unity Realm cultivator, he indeed had the authority to make such appointments.
After all, places like Qingzhou were just uncivilized regions for the Luo River Basin.
Whoever ran the Treasure Gathering Pavilion here had little influence over them.
Therefore, no matter how the Tuoba family had managed to contact Hong Feng and his companions, it was indeed a troublesome matter.
Feng Xuan’s eyebrows furrowed as he couldn’t help but look at Su Jingzhen.
If it were just the Feng family, they wouldn’t be able to resist Hong Feng.
But Su Jingzhen was standing behind the Heavenly Dragon Race.
With the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Race, they might not be afraid of the Luo River Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Therefore, there was still hope for the Feng family.
Seeing Feng Xuan’s pleading look, Su Jingzhen also stepped forward.
He looked at Hong Feng.
“What if the Tuoba family is destroyed today?”
Su Jingzhen’s tone was also mocking.
He didn’t want to completely insult the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
After all, the Feng family was still within this system, and the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was too powerful in the cultivation world.
They extended not only to the Luo River, but also to Zhongzhou, all connected by the same lineage.
Internal family disputes might not matter much, but if Hong Feng, the enforcer, was killed here, the Luo River Treasure Gathering Pavilion would probably not let it go.
He dared to test the Heavenly Dragon Race with the Tortoise Sect, but the weight of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was too heavy.
He wasn’t even sure if the Heavenly Dragon Race could afford to provoke them. In his opinion, testing was one thing, but there had to be a limit.
Without harming Hong Feng, the only way to break the stalemate today was to destroy the Tuoba family.
With the support of the Heavenly Dragon Race, he didn’t think that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would hold him responsible for destroying a family in an uncivilized region.
Merchants put profit first, and it made no difference to them whether they supported the Feng family or the Tuoba family.
As long as the Tuoba family was destroyed, they probably wouldn’t incur any additional costs to target Su Jingzhen.
In fact, they might even immediately turn around and support the Feng family and cooperate with Su Jingzhen.
After all, he, Su Jingzhen, represented the Heavenly Dragon Race, and the benefits of such cooperation didn’t need to be calculated in detail.
With this in mind, Su Jingzhen made his decision.
Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Hong Feng sneered again, “I am here, and you must have the strength to do so.
As he spoke, his Unity Realm aura surged once again.
Even though he was only at the early stage of the Unity Realm, he was confident in his ability to suppress everyone present.
However, despite their arrogance, Hong Feng and his companions never stepped outside of the Tuoba Family’s protective aura.
Of course, as merchants, they preferred not to act unless absolutely necessary.
Just as Hong Feng’s words fell, everyone suddenly felt a sharp intent.
Their gazes followed.
A fierce crimson sword light, as if cutting through space, struck the Tuoba Family’s protective array.
At that moment, the array shattered like paper.
Seeing the strength of this sword strike, Su Jingzhen was taken aback.
Then he smiled, “Has my master arrived?”
