Chapter 256: Coercion
“Feng Family, you need to give us an explanation for this!
Two hours have passed, but Master Su and Miss Xuening have not come out yet.
Does the Feng Family really want to do something so outrageous in front of all the powers of Yunmeng City?”
At this time, the Nascent Soul cultivator leading the Flowing Wind Sword Sect gazed coldly at Feng Baozhao.
This time they had a legitimate reason.
After all, they had already sent out a warning two hours ago.
“Heh heh, two hours have passed.
My Spirit Sound Valley has a connection with Master Su and Miss Xuening, and if they didn’t come out in time,
Spirit Sound Valley will also demand an explanation from Feng Family.”
As soon as the Flowing Wind Sword Sect started to make a move, Spirit Sound Valley immediately stood up.The many onlookers took a step back at this moment, leaving the area open for the few factions.
“At this point, the Feng Family is indeed in the wrong, no matter how vast their treasure vault is or how many treasures are inside.
Two hours are enough time to make a choice.
If the Feng Family wants to detain those alchemists in front of all the powers of Yunmeng City, my Lingxiu Pavilion will not stand idly by.”
At this time, dozens of women also stepped forward.
The Nascent Soul cultivator leading them also spoke up.
At this moment all the three major powers controlling Yunmeng City pointed their spears at Feng Family.
With the three major powers taking the lead, the other powers like the Gao Family and Qi Yun City would naturally not let this opportunity slip by.
After all, they had all suffered losses in the Spirit Sound Inn explosion incident and had long been dissatisfied with Feng Family.
As the saying goes, “when the wall falls, everyone will push.”
Feng Baozhao’s expression turned increasingly tense, and the other direct descendants of Feng Family by his side also looked anxious.
These people from the Feng Family were indeed no match for the major powers.
After all, Feng Family’s main fighting force, including the two elder Nascent Soul cultivators, were still guarding the passage in the treasure vault.
Feng Baozhao, who was maintaining order here, was at most only a Nascent Soul initial stage cultivator.
“Do you really want to go against my Feng Family like this?” Feng Baozhao’s face turned extremely dark.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Tingyun smiled: “When we came, we guaranteed the safety of Master Su and Miss Xuening.
We will definitely protect them, but two hours have passed, and there’s no sign of them.
Two hours is too long.
We have reason to suspect that your Feng Family is plotting against Master Su and the others.”
As soon as Sikong Tingyun spoke, his aura completely locked onto Feng Baozhao.
Sikong Tingyun’s heart was filled with a hint of killing intent, rising to the surface.
Sikong Tingyun, of course, knew that Feng Qingya harbored deep resentment towards Feng Baozhao.
If Feng Baozhao could be taken down, Spirit Sound Valley would definitely gain an advantage in Feng Qingya’s eyes.
At that time, they would have a better chance of winning over Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
Everyone present was a seasoned veteran, and every decision was made after careful consideration.
The main reason was that Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s performance had been too outstanding.
“Heh heh, these guys in Yunmeng City are all hypocrites, fighting each other with cunning and deceit.
But what are those brats doing? Why haven’t they appeared after two hours?”
In the corner, Shen Yifeng watched the scene unfold, a cold smile spreading across his face.
He was indifferent to the Feng Family, but he was still worried about Su Jingzhen.
Shen Yifeng naturally knew that the Feng Family didn’t dare to truly harm Su Jingzhen and the others.
At least Feng Lie wasn’t that foolish.
But he was afraid that there were other hidden dangers within the treasure vault.
“Heh heh, since Feng Family’s master can’t give us an explanation, we can only enter your treasure vault and search for them ourselves.”
Sikong Tingyun said again, his words causing the onlookers to light up with excitement.
They weren’t interested in fighting and killing, but they were extremely interested in entering Feng Family’s treasure vault.
Everyone knew that the Feng Family, as the controller of Yunmeng City’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion, had unfathomable depths.
The treasure vault was said to contain countless good things, and ordinary people couldn’t even imagine what was inside.
“Hahaha, I thank everyone for their concern for those little guys.
But everyone should know that the Feng Family wouldn’t do something so foolish.
Why don’t we give them a bit more time?”
Just as the Flowing Wind Sword Sect’s cultivators were about to make a move, two figures appeared, Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang of the Alchemist Association.
“Flowing Wind Sword Sect, Lingxiu Pavilion, Spirit Sound Valley, could you please give us old bones some face?”
Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng bowed to the crowd, their hands clasped together.
Vice President Ouyang then said, “Perhaps we could push the time back to dawn.
After all, sometimes high-grade medicinal materials do require some time for alchemists to select.”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and the tension was temporarily alleviated.
Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng were both heavyweight figures in the entire Qingzhou region.
Many powers would often seek their help, and their words carried significant weight.
Their words had a calming effect on the crowd, and the atmosphere in the room cooled down significantly.
At this time, Vice President Ouyang was still speaking on behalf of the Feng Family.
If he knew that Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu had almost died in Feng Family’s treasure vault just earlier, it was unknown how he would react.
Just as Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared, standing not far from them.
“Gentlemen, I’m afraid you’re being a bit too aggressive towards my Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”
The speaker was none other than Tuoba Junlin, with a black-robed old man standing behind him.
At this time, the old man’s aura was fully revealed, and he had reached the late Nascent Soul stage!
Tuoba Junlin was directly representing the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and his words carried significant weight.
The Holy City Tuoba family was much stronger than the Feng Family, and they were a top-tier power in the Qingzhou region.
Moreover, they were one of the major families within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and they often worked together with the Feng Family to present a united front to the outside world.
It was not surprising that they would stand up for the Feng Family at this time.
“The Treasure Gathering Pavilion has always maintained absolute neutrality in the cultivation world, not taking sides with anyone, and doing good for all.
But if anyone wants to deceive or harm the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, we will not hesitate to show our fangs!”
Tuoba Junlin’s words were filled with authority.
He repeatedly mentioned the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, without distinguishing between Feng Family and the Tuoba family.
This once again caused all the powers present to furrow their brows.
Meanwhile, Feng Baozhao’s mouth curled up into a slight smile.
His gaze returned to the treasure vault in the lake, and the cold intent in his heart grew even stronger.
He, of course, knew about Feng Mingyan’s plan, since he had handed over the family master token to Feng Mingyan himself.
He knew that things would only get more intense later on, and that the Alchemist Association might even take a stand against them.
But he didn’t care.
He believed that the young man standing in the void could handle everything.
He was willing to help the Tuoba family achieve their ambitions, but the Tuoba family would also need to show some sincerity in return.
Moreover, he believed that the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion had the strength to back up their words.
