The two immediately turned and headed for the Sect of Artifacts' teleportation array without looking back.
Fortunately, the Sect of Artifacts was not far from the Shangguan family's residence, so after boarding the teleportation array, it only took them less than half an hour to disembark.
However, for the final stretch, the two of them quickened their pace and rushed over.
On the teleportation array, Ye Fei had already gained a preliminary understanding of the current situation.
And the cause and effect of the events.
It turned out that the kidnapping of Shangguan Ming and others, as well as the framing of the Shangguan family's medicine shops, were all orchestrated by the Qin family!
More importantly, the death of the Qin family's young master, Qin Xi, had enraged the Qin family, who shifted all the blame onto Shangguan Xueer.
Because Shangguan Xueer had repeatedly rejected Qin Xi's advances, they directed all their anger towards the Shangguan family.
Seizing the opportunity, they launched an attack on the Shangguan family!
The Shangguan family was in peril!
"Quick, faster!"
Ye Fei urged urgently.
"Brother-in-law, I'll follow behind you, don't worry about me!"
Shangguan Ming realized that Ye Fei's movement techniques were far superior to his, so he suggested.
"Alright, then keep close to me!"
"I'll take the lead!"
With a swoosh, Ye Fei disappeared in front of Shangguan Ming.
"I really don't know when I'll be as strong as brother-in-law!"
After sighing, Shangguan Ming also continued to rush forward.
Meanwhile, the Shangguan family had already reached a standoff.
Elder Shangguan, leading a group of Shangguan family guards, stood facing the Qin family's forces.
"Old Shangguan, we've been rivals for so many years, it's time to settle the score!"
"Your Shangguan family has repeatedly opposed my Qin family, and before that, you snatched a lot of our business. Now it's time for you to pay your debts!"
"What do you say?"
The speaker was the patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Batian.
Although his cultivation was not high, only at the early stage of Qi Refining Level Seven, he possessed exceptional talent in poison cultivation.
Ever since he gained renown, even the Four Great Families dared not offend him lightly.
"Hmph, you know better than anyone who initiated the conflict between our two families. Do I need to spell it out?"
"You old scoundrel are the first to cry wolf!"
"All you Qin family members are like this, it runs in your blood!"
"What bad luck!"
Elder Shangguan's sharp tongue infuriated Qin Batian to the point where smoke seemed to be rising from his head.
"Old Shangguan, you're courting death!"
"But today, you can only vent your anger with words!"
"Neither of your sons is here. With only this old man in charge, do you think I can't capture you?"
"Once I apprehend you, I will make you kneel and kowtow to me!"
As if still seething with anger, Qin Batian roared again.
"Your granddaughter is also quite something!"
"My grandson pursued your granddaughter for several years, and she refused him. Now my grandson has met a tragic death, and this is surely connected to your granddaughter!"
"According to the information I have, my grandson disappeared along with your granddaughter. So why is your granddaughter back safely, while my grandson and the two guards he brought are nowhere to be seen, alive or dead?"
Qin Batian's voice turned chilling as he thought of never seeing his most beloved grandson again.
"I'm telling you, old grudges and new ones, we are far from done!"
"Hahaha, I have already notified all the younger generation of your Shangguan family. Today, they will all be slaughtered by my hand!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Shangguan's blood rushed to his head, his eyes about to burst.
"You, you villain!"
"May you die a terrible death!"
"How can you be so wicked!"
Elder Shangguan was also starting to panic. He hurriedly took out a communication jade token, wanting to warn the younger generation not to return.
"Hold it!"
"If you dare to notify them, I will kill these women first!"
Qin Batian's gaze shifted, and Shangguan Xueer's mother and aunt were brought forward.
Their mouths were stuffed with rags, and their hands were bound tightly behind their backs, only able to let out muffled sounds.
In an instant, Elder Shangguan was caught in a dilemma, his heart filled with agony.
He was completely on the defensive.
"Stop!"
Seeing Qin Batian genuinely order his men to cut Shangguan Xueer's mother's throat, Elder Shangguan roared in anger.
"Hahaha, old man, beg me!"
"Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I might let them go?"
Qin Batian said maliciously.
Elder Shangguan endured and endured, his eyes about to spew fire.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will drag you down to hell with me, even if it costs me my life!"
Seeing his opponent of many years finally submit, Qin Batian burst into laughter and said from above.
"Qin Batian keeps his word!"
"As long as you kneel and kowtow to admit your mistake, I will release them immediately!"
"You can start now!"
Elder Shangguan first glanced at the two women. Seeing them shaking their heads and muffling their dissent, clearly not wanting him to suffer such humiliation, he, as the head of the Shangguan family, had a responsibility and obligation to protect his family's safety.
He lifted his robe and was about to kneel.
"Hold!"
"A man's knees are made of gold. Elder, I will save them now!"
Just as Elder Shangguan was about to kneel, Ye Fei arrived in time. He immediately made a move, and with a swoosh, he rescued Shangguan Xueer's mother and aunt, bringing them behind Elder Shangguan.
"Brat, who exactly are you?"
"How dare you ruin my plans!"
Qin Batian was shocked by Ye Fei, whose movement techniques were so strange and who had rescued the two women at the first encounter.
"Who do you think I am?"
"I'll show you with my strength later!"
Ye Fei replied with a murderous look.
"Xiao Fei, why have you returned?"
"Did Xueer and the others notify you?"
"You're being foolish!"
"You shouldn't have come back!"
"My life is insignificant, but if your lives are lost, then my guilt will be immense!"
"I'll create an opening for you now, and you must escape quickly!"
"Do you understand?"
Elder Shangguan said anxiously.
Ye Fei's heart warmed, and his resolve was further strengthened.
He then reassured him.
"Elder, you can rest assured, I value my life above all else and will not easily risk my safety."
"Just rest easy!"
After quickly assessing the combat strength of both sides, he found that the gap was not too large. If he, Shangguan Ming, and the returning Shangguan Xueer were added, they would still have a fighting chance against the opponent.
