Tan Jun walked in with a proud sneer on his lips, clad in brocade robes. He looked every bit the true noble son.
Indeed, within the entire safety zone, few could rival Tan Jun in the title of "young master."
"Tan Jun?"
Elder Hua frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing, but his anger grew with each passing moment.
"Grandfather, Second Uncle is being too reckless! I've already pledged myself to Ling Feng, how could I possibly marry someone else? This is simply... an insult to me, and an insult to Ling Feng!"
Hua Yuxiao was utterly agitated at this point.
She could tolerate being insulted by Hua Chengfeng, but for Hua Chengfeng to insult Ling Feng was an act that could not be tolerated. It would lead to an unbearable price for the entire Hua family!
"Yuxiao, don't get agitated. And Ling Feng, please don't be angry. I, this old man, was unaware of this matter. I will handle it immediately!"
Elder Hua, seeing this, was filled with remorse. He then stood up and said to Hua Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, please escort Young Master Tan to your personal reception hall. Today is our family banquet..."
"Father! How can you be so dismissive of Young Master Tan for some wild man brought back by Hua Yuxiao? You must know that Young Master Tan is the youngest son of our safety zone's supervisor, Tan Youming! If Hua Yuxiao were to be favored by Young Master Tan, it would be her good fortune for eight lifetimes!"
Hua Chengfeng's emotions were clearly running high. He truly did not expect his father's favoritism towards Hua Yuxiao to reach such a degree.
One must understand that Tan Jun was not someone who could be invited casually.
Moreover, Tan Jun had been quite satisfied with Hua Yuxiao's appearance before, otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped out to cooperate with Hua Chengfeng in staging this scene!
If they were to offend Tan Jun, the consequences would be quite troublesome.
Therefore, even facing his own father, Hua Chengfeng had to adopt a more assertive stance.
"You, you scoundrel..."
Elder Hua was shocked that Hua Chengfeng dared to openly defy him, and even dared to insult Ling Feng so severely. This was practically courting death!
How could Hua Chengfeng possibly comprehend Ling Feng's terrifying power?
Never mind what Ling Feng was doing in the capital now, what achievements he had, or what his background was.
Merely Ling Feng's relationship with the Witch God Hall meant that Ling Feng could walk with impunity throughout the major safety zones of Southern Cloud. Hua Chengfeng was bringing immense trouble upon their Hua family!
However, in his distress, Elder Hua began to experience chest pain, and the rest of his words remained unspoken.
Hua Yuxiao, standing beside him, quickly went to support Elder Hua.
The people around them also became somewhat flustered.
Hua Chengfeng was also taken aback, only then realizing that his words had been a bit too harsh. But surely his father wouldn't be angered to this extent?
As Hua Chengfeng considered stepping forward, he suddenly thought of something.
If Elder Hua were to die of anger here today, wouldn't the Hua family be under his control from then on?
With this thought, a chilling killing intent flashed in Hua Chengfeng's eyes!
However, Hua Chengfeng was unaware that it was precisely this change in his demeanor that Ling Feng completely captured. In that instant, a murderous glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.
And Tan Jun, leaning closer to Hua Chengfeng, said, "Heh heh, Mr. Hua, it seems the old man has quite a temper. But honestly, I am quite taken with Hua Yuxiao, so..."
"Really? Young Master Tan, are you very satisfied with Hua Yuxiao?"
Hua Chengfeng's eyes immediately lit up. This commotion naturally drew everyone's attention.
Elder Hua's eyes widened further, his face flushing red, appearing as if he might spit blood at any moment.
Tan Jun sneered and nodded, "Yes, she's quite good. I've taken a liking to her. Preferably, it could be tonight..."
"Jingang!"
Ling Feng spoke indifferently at this moment.
His voice was not loud, but it made everyone's heart tremble!
"Yes! Your subordinate is here!" Jingang immediately stepped forward, standing by Ling Feng's side, radiating a murderous aura!
Tan Jun on the opposite side shivered all over and quickly shuffled a few steps to the side. "You, what do you want to do?"
Ling Feng, however, spoke a single word with a placid expression: "Dissect!"
"Yes!"
Jingang's eyes widened, and he took a step forward, his twin sabers swiftly slashing out!
Swish, swish, swish!
As the sound of air being cut through erupted.
Tan Jun was already cut into a pile of minced meat, scattering on the ground.
Clatter!
Blood splattered everywhere, drenching the ground!
Tan Jun didn't even let out a single scream before he died on the spot, his soul likely unable to be pieced back together!
The entire process of this happening took less than half a second.
So, before anyone could react, Jingang had already sheathed his sabers and turned to stand by Ling Feng's side!
"Ahhh..."
Instantly, screams erupted from all around.
Those making these sounds were mostly women, truly terrified by the scene before them.
Some even vomited on the spot.
Hua Chengfeng retreated repeatedly in extreme fear, adopting a defensive stance, looking at Ling Feng as if he had seen a ghost!
"You, you're insane! You actually dared to kill Tan Jun! Do you know his father is the supervisor of this safety zone? He's the most powerful person here! That..."
Before Hua Chengfeng could finish his nonsensical rant, Jingang coldly addressed the outside, "Come in and collect the corpse!"
"Yes!"
Several voices responded from outside, and then a group of people quickly rushed in.
Hua Chengfeng and the others were stunned. An old butler also hurried in with the group. xxs1
His movements were the fastest. With quick steps, he dared not even glance at the corpse on the ground.
He arrived before Elder Hua the quickest.
Elder Hua no longer showed signs of his previous chest pain, but his face was still pale as he looked at the scene before him.
This is bad!
Ling Feng has caused trouble!
But before Elder Hua could recover, the old butler quickly bowed to Elder Hua!
"Elder Hua, this... this is the newly appointed safety zone supervisor, Mr. Zhang Ning! These two are deputy supervisors, they are..."
As the old butler introduced the individuals behind him.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Elder Hua looked at the middle-aged man who had walked up to him in disbelief.
It was evident that this middle-aged man possessed an extraordinary aura, though he was desperately suppressing his imposing presence when facing Elder Hua here.
Is this the new safety zone supervisor?
"Elder Hua, hello. I am Zhang Ning. Tan Youming is already dead. His entire family has committed many wicked deeds. We were in the process of apprehending them when we learned that Tan Jun had run here, so we followed. We apologize for any offense, we apologize!"
Zhang Ning quickly bowed and said this, then made a gesture.
Several individuals of considerable status behind him began to collect Tan Jun's corpse.
The surroundings fell into a deathly silence!
