Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders in response to the words, "I don't want to get involved in this matter, but someone is being too arrogant, and I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!"
"Just you?"
Zhang Feng immediately sneered, his gaze sharply turning to Lu Fan. "Who do you think you are, to dare to say such things? Believe it or not, I can make you disappear without a trace right now!"
"Senior Brother Zhang, if someone really dies in our handyman’s quarters, you might not be able to bear the responsibility!"
Zhao Xiaoyu said coldly, his eyes turning sharp and exuding an aura.
"Are you threatening me?"
Zhang Feng sneered, a cold glint in his eyes. "I hate being threatened the most. Have you ever considered the consequences of speaking to me like this?"
"I am merely stating the truth. If you don't believe me, that's your own business!"
Zhao Xiaoyu spoke plainly, his gaze steady. "And this is definitely not something you can control!"
Following these words, Zhang Feng grabbed Zhao Xiaoyu by the neck. "Never mind him, even if I were to kill the steward of the handyman’s quarters, the gods would not blame me. After all, you people are just ants. Without breaking through to the second level of Rushing Spirit, you will forever remain the most lowly existence!"
Zhao Xiaoyu's face turned ashen. Although the words were extremely harsh, they were also the truth. Failure to break through to the next realm meant they would remain at the first level of Rushing Spirit, with no hope of ever turning their fortunes around.
This was the tragedy of their handyman’s quarters. Every disciple of Yuqing Mountain had spent time in the handyman’s quarters, but most could quickly transition to becoming disciples of Yuqing Mountain. People like them, however, had no such possibility.
This was because after so many years, they had been unable to break through to the second level of Rushing Spirit. This was likely a threshold they could never cross.
"Let him go!"
Lu Fan's eyes were cold, carrying an intent to kill swiftly. The strength displayed by Zhang Feng did not intimidate him. If given the chance, Lu Fan even felt confident he could ensure Zhang Feng met an untimely end.
Although he was only at the first level of Rushing Spirit, the aura surrounding him was not weak. This was enough to prove that he could fight beyond his level. While it would be difficult, it was not impossible if he truly willed it.
"What are you talking about?"
Zhang Feng suddenly looked at Lu Fan, a killing intent on his lips. "You are incredibly audacious to speak to me like this, utterly unaware of the heavens and earth!"
"I'll say it again, let him go!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp, as if everything was within his control.
"Good boy, you have thoroughly angered me!"
Zhang Feng instantly unleashed his aura, accompanied by a killing intent. "Now, kneel down and beg for my forgiveness, and perhaps I'll spare your pathetic life!"
"That depends on whether you have the ability!"
Lu Fan's lips curled slightly. "Do you really think that just because you're at the second level of Rushing Spirit, you can act with impunity?"
Facing these words, Zhang Feng's eyes instantly turned cold, carrying a chilling glint. "What, you don't think I'm worthy?"
"You are indeed not worthy!"
Lu Fan stated coldly. "If we were to fight, you would not be my opponent. I hope you consider this carefully!"
"Hahaha..."
Zhang Feng burst into laughter, a playful tone in his voice. "You certainly have a big mouth. To say such things, you don't really think you can look down on everyone, do you?"
The surrounding disciples also showed cold expressions, particularly towards Lu Fan, with a look of imminent killing intent.
Lu Fan's words were too arrogant, completely disregarding them.
Someone like this was simply not suited for Yuqing Mountain; they were meant to be toyed with. Everyone present was well aware of this.
"He's one of our handyman’s quarters people!"
Zhao Xiaoyu spoke up. "If you have something to say, say it to me!"
"You little wench, trying to act tough?"
Zhang Feng's gaze turned icy. "In my eyes, you are nothing but a plaything. As for this brat, he's destined to die today!"
Liu Dapang and the others stood to the side, filled with apprehension. They had never expected things to escalate to this point, catching them completely off guard.
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Several men beside him spoke, their brows furrowed. This was no trivial matter; if it went wrong, the trouble would be immense.
"He's a direct disciple of Yuqing Mountain. We can't afford to offend him!"
Liu Dapang's brow furrowed with seriousness. "We can't act rashly, or we might be in danger!"
"Boss, you saw it too. If we don't help, Old Ten will be finished!"
Fat Third Brother urged, his gaze heavy. This matter was extraordinary, and they did not want Lu Fan to suffer any harm.
Liu Dapang knitted his brows and looked towards Lu Fan again, his gaze now grave. He was keenly aware that some things were permissible, while others were not. Acting recklessly would only stir up endless trouble.
At that very moment, Liu Dapang stepped forward directly, shielding Lu Fan. "Although we are merely from the handyman’s quarters, Senior Brother Zhang's actions are perhaps too hasty. If you suppress all the people in the handyman’s quarters, and no one is there to serve the gods, then the gods will surely be angered!"
With these words, Zhang Feng's gaze instantly turned sharp, and he looked at Liu Dapang. "How dare you obstruct me!"
"Please, Senior Brother Zhang, show mercy. Everyone can get along!" Liu Dapang said repeatedly. "After all, if things escalate, no one will benefit!"
Zhang Feng's eyes were cold and filled with killing intent. Liu Dapang's stance made him feel extremely disdainful.
At the same time, everyone clearly sensed that Zhang Feng was losing control of his emotions and might very well unleash a slaughter.
"Senior Brother Zhang, perhaps you should just drop it!"
Several men beside him spoke, their brows furrowed. This matter was no small thing.
If it were merely a matter of killing one person from the handyman’s quarters, it would be insignificant. But if the entire handyman’s quarters were wiped out, it would be difficult to account for to the gods.
After all, some matters were not to be trifled with. Although they were disciples of Yuqing Mountain, their overall strength was still too weak, which was not a good thing.
Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and finally turned to leave, his heart filled with unwillingness. After all, in his opinion, things should not have ended up this way, leaving him brimming with dissatisfaction.
At the same time, everyone clearly sensed that some things were permissible, and some things were not to be violated. The situation today was not pleasant, and a slight misstep could lead to chaos.
Seeing Zhang Feng and his group leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions solemn. They dared not say anything more.
