Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Just and Courageous
"Girl, stop bothering Third Grandpa, the Zhu Family won’t fall so easily. Plus, Yang Fei is here today treating your grandpa. If your grandpa can stand up again, what is the Feng Family to us?" Zhu Chengpeng said to Tong Yunshu.
As soon as Tong Yunshu heard that Yang Fei was also at the Zhu Family, she calmed down, "He’s there too? In that case, even without Third Grandpa going there, with you and my eldest uncle, and Yang Fei as well, we should be able to turn danger into safety."
Zhu Chengpeng smiled, "Right, so don’t bother your Third Grandpa."
However, Tong Yunshu said, "No, I still have to inform Third Grandpa. If he could send a word, perhaps the Feng Family wouldn’t dare to act rashly."
After saying this, she hung up the phone.
Zhu Chengpeng was touched, knowing that the girl was worried about the Zhu Family, and thus did not call again to stop her.
At the same time, he was curious to see what Tong Yan’s attitude towards the Zhu Family would be so many years after his father’s fall.
Xuanzhen Temple, after Tong Yan received Tong Yunshu’s call, his brow furrowed immediately, "Feng Tianzong is targeting the Zhu Family?"
"Yes, Third Grandpa, since you know him, could you call him? Our Tong Family and Zhu Family are allied, and by doing this, he is showing disrespect to you," Tong Yunshu said.
Tong Yan couldn’t help but laugh, this girl even schemed against him.
But she was right, Feng Tianzong didn’t even notify him before moving against the Zhu Family, clearly disregarding him.
In the past, he and Zhu Tianshou were close friends. Now, years after Zhu Tianshou fell ill, Zhu Chengyou and Zhu Chengpeng had been impressive, holding significant sway in Jiangbei. Yet now, the Feng Family had abruptly made their move.
If he did nothing, how could he stand in the Martial Arts World in the future?
"Also, Yang Fei is at the Zhu Family, treating my grandfather. I heard this matter started because Yang Fei broke the arm of a young wastrel from the Feng Family. Third Grandpa, you mustn’t let Feng Tianzong harm Yang Fei," Tong Yunshu said.
Tong Yan’s eyes lit up, "Yang Fei is also at the Zhu Family, treating your grandfather?"
"Yes. He checked my grandfather’s condition last time and said it can be cured. I don’t know if it will work this time," Tong Yunshu said.
Tong Yan felt a leap in his heart, "He said your grandfather could be cured?"
"Yes, that’s what he said."
"Alright, I’ll call Feng Tianzong right away." Tong Yan decisively hung up and dialed Feng Tianzong’s number.
People of their level of skill often have each other’s contact information.
Jiangbei, on the way to the Zhu Family, inside a Rolls-Royce, Feng Tianzong was momentarily stunned when his phone suddenly rang.
There weren’t many people who could dial this number, but definitely all of them were significant figures he valued.
He took out his phone, and after seeing the number, he chuckled bitterly to himself, murmuring, "Tong Yan finally reacts."
Feng Yuansi, hearing the name Tong Yan, felt a jump in his heart and said, "Dad, a call from Tong Yan?"
Feng Tianzong didn’t respond but answered, "Hahaha, Brother Tong, what made you think to call me?"
"Feng Tianzong, aren’t you going too far bullying the Zhu Family?" Tong Yan cut to the chase.
Feng Tianzong, seeing the caller addressing him directly by name and the tone carrying a vibe of bringing him to account, was immediately displeased and snorted coldly, "Do you, Tong Yan, also want a hand in this?"
Tong Yan, discerning Feng Tianzong’s determination, coldly said, "Don’t blame me for not warning you, the Zhu Family is my in-laws. Feng Tianzong, if you target the Zhu Family, you’re slapping Tong Yan’s face. Besides, apart from Tong Yan, others are also protecting the Zhu Family. Do you really think you alone can turn the Jiangbei Martial World upside down?"
Feng Tianzong’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, proudly said, "Tong Yan, this is a matter of our Jiangbei Martial World. If you truly want to interfere, come to Jiangbei and fight me, Feng Tianzong. I’m not afraid of you."
After speaking, he hung up the call.
"Dad, is Tong Yan going to intervene in this matter?" Feng Yuansi asked anxiously.
Feng Tianzong snorted coldly, "Humph, if he dares to intervene, I dare to fight him to the death. Besides him, the Tong Family doesn’t have anyone else capable of fighting. I don’t believe he would dare to challenge me."
Feng Yuansi nodded, "That’s right, this is a matter of our Jiangbei Martial World. Today, all the factions of the Jiangbei Martial World have gone to the Zhu Family, the tide has turned, with no National Guardian stepping in, he, Tong Yan, alone can’t suppress this matter."
Feng Tianzong nodded slightly, "Drive faster, I want to settle the Zhu Family earlier."
Xuanzhen Temple, Tong Yan, having his call hung up, was so angry that he puffed his cheeks and glared, "Good for you, Feng Tianzong, daring to hang up on me. I kindly warned you, but since you won’t listen, let’s see how you’ll end up handling this!"
He was far from Jiangbei, and by now, it was too late to rush there.
As for Tong Yunshu worrying about Yang Fei, he was not worried at all.
He had experienced Yang Fei’s strength. Even if Feng Tianzong was stronger than Yang Fei, if Yang Fei was determined to flee for his life, Feng Tianzong couldn’t do anything about him.
He didn’t know that Qin Yanyang was currently with Yang Fei; otherwise, he would have only laughed and cursed Feng Tianzong for courting death.
...
Jiangbei, outside the Zhu Family’s main gate.
Amidst the excited crowd’s fierce shouting, Zhu Chengyou strode out.
His gaze coldly swept across the people, and those who had been shouting, facing his chilling stare, each felt a shudder in their heart, hurriedly avoiding his eyes and bowing their heads.
Many felt ashamed.
The Zhu Family had never oppressed them over the years and had even upheld justice, helping many with weaker power who were bullied.
Yet today, they were instigated by the Feng Family and had no choice but to come and provoke.
To these disorganized masses, Zhu Chengyou merely glanced, then snorted coldly, not taking them seriously.
The crux of today’s peril for the Zhu Family lay with the Feng Family.
At the moment, it was led by Gu Manzhou.
His gaze landed on Gu Manzhou’s face, and he spoke coldly, "Gu Manzhou, I respect you as an elder, but you bullied the younger and even injured my fourth brother. Aren’t you going too far?"
Gu Manzhou said, "I warned him to call for you. Moreover, I came here to demand that the Zhu Family hand over the person who assaulted us."
Zhu Chengyou retorted, "Was it your grandfather who Dr. Yang beat up? Do you really need to show off and demand people?"
Gu Manzhou, not expecting the usually steady and prudent Zhu Chengyou to speak so brazenly—outrageously more than his hot-tempered fourth brother—suddenly trembled with anger, pointing at Zhu Chengyou and saying, "You... you’re outrageous!"
"It’s you who are outrageous, you old thing! Even if my father has fallen ill, I, of the Zhu Family, am not dead yet. How dare you provoke the Zhu Family and injure my fourth brother? I must settle this account with you!" Zhu Chengyou snorted coldly, his figure flashed like a roc descending from the sky, and he suddenly charged towards Gu Manzhou.
That aura, like a matchless, overpowering, and unstoppable wild knife.
Gu Manzhou felt a chill in his heart, sensing that this young man’s momentum was overwhelming and not to be underestimated.
He hurriedly exerted all his strength, meeting the charge.
Both were at the Energy Transformation Seventh Rank, a battle of grandmasters.
Instantly, a wild murderous intent permeated the area, causing everyone’s heart to chill, feeling suffocated and oppressed as they hurriedly retreated to avoid.
"Bang!"
With one move, the Energy Transformation exploded, transforming into invisible energy fragments that surged around, even slashing marks into the concrete ground.
Several unfortunate martial artists caught by the dispersing energy fragments struggled to resist, as if slashed by sharp blades, and blood flowed profusely.
Instantly, everyone’s face turned shocked, again increasing their distance.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
In the arena, the two grandmaster-level experts continually clashed, the rampaging energy wreaked havoc, fighting more than a dozen exchanges in the blink of an eye.
"Bang!"
Another muffled loud noise spread, and the two finally separated.
Gu Manzhou’s face was flushed red, his body flew more than ten meters and he even took three more steps backwards to steady himself.
In contrast, Zhu Chengyou, although also blown back, flew back a much shorter distance and landed with his feet planted firmly on the ground like roots, standing proudly. His entire persona radiated a fighting spirit that only seemed to grow stronger as the battle waged on.
