Chapter 28: Heaven's Will

  Frosty wind icy cave.

  Two guards knelt down respectfully, their voices low: "Master!"

  Peng Feng nodded and floated into the depths of the icy cave, behind him was Pang Jing, the master of Liang City. Peng Yue'er followed closely with a group of clan members, their faces gloomy.

  "Whoosh!"

  The heavy iron gate opened, and suddenly bright lights appeared before his eyes, with countless torches connected into a piece.

  Ye Yang slightly raised his head, gazing at the distant figures, and suddenly felt a tremble in his heart. He thought to himself: "This vicious Peng Feng, could he have already decided to personally come and finish me off?"

  But the next moment, Ye Yang changed his mind, because he saw a smile on Peng Feng's face, but it was so sinister, as if the smile had been squeezed out by someone's hand.

  "Crack!"

  Peng Feng raised his hand, and the flame true energy brushed past him, the heavy iron chain that bound Ye Yang suddenly melted and broke apart in an instant. Peng Feng's profound cultivation could be seen from this, the iron chain that Ye Yang had struggled to break free from for a long time was cut off by Peng Feng with such ease.

  "Bang..."

  A golden token fell in front of Ye Yang, and Peng Feng said lightly: "Ye Yang, this is your token, take it back home, don't let your father wait anxiously."

  "Hmmph!"

  Ye Yang picked up the token, took a look at it, and was secretly shocked. The token had the words "Guo Shi" (National Scholar) carved on it. But Peng Feng had thrown this token to himself, what did this mean?

  But he didn't ask much, Ye Yang was a clever person, put the token into his arms, then stood up, looking at Peng Feng with pride, saying: "Tribe leader, what is my crime?"

  "You're not at fault, go..." Peng Feng suddenly sighed.

  Ye Yang nodded slightly, his face calm as he walked out of the crowd and into the cold wind. As he brushed past Peng Yue'er, however, he noticed that the beautiful girl's eyes had lost a hint of hatred and gained a hint of surprise instead.

  Looking at Ye Yang's receding back, Pang Jing clenched her fists and said in a low voice: "Master Peng Zong, is this matter just going to be settled like this?"

  Peng Feng's eyes flashed with endless venom as he coldly laughed and said, "Let this little brat go first. As long as I can avoid being seen by Zong Yuan, I have many ways to get rid of him!"

  "Hey, what you need to think about now is not these things!" Pang Jing said calmly: "But think about it, General Wang Duan died in the Huo Shen clan. How do you explain this? If you can't come up with a suitable idea, as the lord of one city, I can only report to the provincial government that General Wang Duan died in Pengfu, and the cause of death is unknown."

  "You!"

  Peng Feng was slightly angry and had never thought that Pang Jing would push all the blame onto his own head.

  However, Peng Feng's expression changed quickly to a smile, his eyes gleaming with depth as he gazed westward and said: "General Wang Duan is leading the great army on an expedition against Chen Sheng Wu Guang in the Great Marsh, all we need to do is spend some silver to buy off several of General Wang's officers, and everything will become clear!"

  "Oh, really?" Pang Jing asked with a sarcastic smile.

  Peng Feng nodded: "Just last night, General Wang Dian personally led the Imperial Guard to observe the enemy situation in the mountains in front of Daze Township. Unfortunately, they encountered a high-level demon beast that was wandering out of the Qingyun Mountains. As a result, General Wang Dian died miserably under the beast's sharp teeth, and his head was carried away, sacrificing himself for the country!"

  "What? General Wang Dian is invincible in battle, how could he die at the hands of a demon beast? At the edge of the Qingyun Mountains, it's impossible for a Star-level demon beast to appear!"

  Peng Feng smiled slightly and said faintly, "Lord Pang, to be honest with you, I've traveled extensively throughout the years and collected countless treasures. Among them, the two White Jade Fruits are the most precious to me. These fruits can strengthen one's meridians and increase their cultivation. My daughter, Peng Yue'er, ate one of them and advanced two levels. There is still one White Jade Fruit left. I heard that your young master was injured in a duel with someone and his cultivation greatly decreased. This White Jade Fruit should be able to help him recover quickly and even improve his cultivation."

  Pang Jing was stunned, secretly thinking: Good you Peng Feng, actually knowing my weakness. I, Pang Jing, have been through a lot in my life, and the only thing I care about is that lonely Pang Nan. Bai Yu Guo is a treasure of the world, even with millions of wealth, it can't be bought. Now this Peng Feng is willing to transfer?

  Forget it, forget it, everything is fate!

  Pang Jing nodded and said, "So, General Wang Dian's body will be sent back to Xianyang by my men. In addition, the Liangcheng clan will send a hundred riders to hunt down the demon beast in the Qingyun Mountains. I hope the sect master can dispatch some of the family's elite!"

  "Alright, thank you, Lord Pong, for taking charge of the Peng family's affairs!"

  Peng Feng bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude, which made Pang Jing quite pleased. A strong man of the ninth level of the Great Land would have such a low attitude, this is the effect of power!

  After sending off Pang Jing, Peng Feng called the family manager and said: "You personally send Bai Yu Guo to the city master's mansion. Also, dispatch 50 of the best men in the clan to go to the city master's mansion for orders. You can go now, don't make any mistakes!"

  "Yes, sir!"

  The boss drifted away.

  Peng Yue'er stepped forward and said, "Father, are you really going to give the White Jade Fruits to them? Those two White Jade Fruits were exchanged for your life!"

  Peng Feng smiled slightly: "Yue Er, you also saw the strength of Zeng Xuan. This time, the Peng family really has to admit defeat."

  "What about Ye Yang? Are you just going to let him off that easily? Father, don't forget, Ye Yang not only angered you, but also severely injured Peng Cheng. This is simply a humiliation for the Peng family by the Ye family!"

  "Don't worry, I won't let him off so easily!"

  Peng Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of venom as he said, "The foundation of the Ye family's foothold in Liang City is the Ye family's smelting workshop. Now that we have their treasured Rock-Cutting Knife, Ye Beiqiu has been severely injured, and the Ye family's smelting workshop will inevitably suffer a blow to its reputation in Liang City. Perhaps, without us lifting a finger, the Ye family will disappear on its own!"

  Peng Yue'er nodded and said, "I'll run a few more times to the Peng family's smelting workshop in the next few days. Also, the goods purchased from Handan, Linzi, Shangqiu and other cities have arrived, which are some 9th and 8th grade blades, all of which will be placed in the Peng family's smelting workshop as a town's defensive weapon?"

  "Hmm!" Peng Feng's face showed a hint of delight, and he said: "Put all these weapons into the Peng family's smelting workshop, along with the three major merchant guilds. Make sure that within a year, the Ye family's smelting workshop can't even do half a business!

  "Good!"

  The father and daughter were secretly plotting to squeeze out Ye's Refinery at the same time, while Ye Yang was already on his way home.

  ……

  Under the moonlight, Ye Yang walked on Liangcheng Avenue with his clothes fluttering in the wind. It was already dawn, but he only saw torches swaying in front of him. Suddenly, Ye Yang felt a jolt, as if someone was approaching to meet him head-on.

  The next moment, a familiar scene appeared before his eyes. He saw Ye Nantian's stout figure lightly and nimbly moving forward with just a few strides, followed by a group of armed warriors, all of whom were the Ye family's guards and house servants.

  Ye Nantian saw Ye Yang's disheveled appearance and was shocked: "Zi Yu! You... you're back?"

  Ye Yang nodded and smiled: "Dad..."

  Ye Nantian looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, and was so overjoyed that he fainted. A group of servants rushed to support him, and they returned to the Ye estate by the original route.

  ……

  Everything seems to have settled down, but in reality, undercurrents are surging and all the struggles are far from over.
