Chapter 728 Taking Action
“Leave and bring your men with you!” Zhao Feng shouted.
Zhao Feng glanced coldly at the person at the end of the line and turned to leave.
Twelve out of the thirteen people present were seriously injured, while the remaining one escaped unscathed.
Of course, the one who was unscathed had deliberately not been touched by Zhao Feng so he could cart away his injured men.
Twenty meters behind Zhao Feng stood the members of the Zi Clan who had blocked the opponents before. At this moment, they were all confused.
They looked at each other, but no one said anything.
“This guy is so violent!” One of them was still in a dazed state when Zhao Feng left, “Oh no! The Lv family will definitely not take their defeat lying down, since they were hurt by Zhao Feng and his companions?”
A shiver ran down everyone’s spines when they heard those words.
However, they were not too worried.
After pondering for a while, they shook their heads in succession, “Forget it. Now that they chose to take action, they must have drawn up a plan. After all, the son-in-law of our Zi Clan is Zhang Hanyang. With him and Emperor Qing around, it will be impossible for the Lv family to air their grievances. Frankly speaking, the members of that clan are excessively arrogant.”
“That’s right. Since the patriarch did not air his views, we do not need to be troubled about such things.”
“...”
They felt relieved after chatting with each other for a while.
In their view, they did not need to be concerned about their safety as those who were stronger than them would throw themselves into the breach.
Seeing what Zhao Feng did, Zhang Guangyou glanced at Zhang Han and nodded in satisfaction, “Great.”
“What does he mean?”
Everyone present was aware that he considered Zhao Feng to be a good man.
It was Zhao Feng who managed all the affairs on Mount New Moon. Apart from being decisive enough while facing enemies, he would always ensure there was a way out at the same time.
Since these badly-wounded people were only minions, a certain amount of martial art resources could help them recover. If he killed them directly, the two parties were bound to grow apart. He, therefore, decided to take action in accordance with the opponents’ attitude.
Zhang Guangyou was a gallant man who was not a coward. Now that the opponents bullied his group, he definitely had to teach them a lesson. However, he deemed that they did not need to die at this point. If they were provoked again in the future, then they would be killed.
Perceiving that Zhao Feng was a careful and decisive man, Zhang Guangyou praised him.
Obviously, he held an optimistic attitude toward his son’s disciple.
“Ouch, I did not expect that he’s really fit for this job. Interesting.”
Wang Xiaowu, who was sitting at the table nearby, grinned.
He looked down upon indecisive people and Zhao Feng left a good impression on him.
In fact, they would absolutely be dumbfounded once they learned of Zhang Han’s way of handling such affairs.
“Alas...” Zi Qiang sighed all of a sudden with annoyance in his eyes. He did not say anything, but raised his glass while shaking his head, “In-law, Old Gai, come on, let’s have a drink.”
“Okay.”
The three of them clinked their glasses.
Gulp...
Gai Xingkong and Zhang Guangyou finished one-hundred-grams of liquor in one go, respectively.
Puff!
Zi Qiang became somewhat confused.
“What is going on?”
“What did I say just now? Have a sip or finish a glass of liquor?”
“They all drained their cups. Ouch, I just proposed a toast, didn’t I?”
“Oh my God!”
“What shall I do?”
Slurp, slurp...
Zi Qiang managed to endure the burning sensation, gulping the liquor down.
“In-law, drink slowly. Old Gai and I can drink a lot, but you don’t have to keep us with us. Just take a sip.” Zhang Guangyou said hurriedly.
Zi Qiang, however, gulped down the first glass of liquor, which made Zi Yan and Xu Xinyu looked on helplessly.
But it did not matter. Once he got drunk, he would no longer be upset.
“It’s okay. I must drink the first cup and I’ll drink slowly then.” Zi Qiang’s face started turning red and a blast of hot air hit him after the burning sensation dissipated. He unbuttoned the collar of his shirt as he spoke.
“Great!”
Zhang Guangyou burst into laughter and gestured to Gai Xingkong, as he finished another cup of liquor.
“What?” Zi Qiang had just unbuttoned his collar and became totally stunned.
“How could they drink such a large amount of liquor, one cup after another?”
“In-law, were those people talking about business matters?” Zhang Guangyou asked.
“Yes, to tell you the truth, their family is indeed powerful. The rapid improvement of our Zi Clan’s capital might have made them envious.” Zi Qiang replied depressedly.
“It’s mainly because of their elder’s return.” Zi Long shook his head slightly and said, “What happened just now has actually stopped us from retreating. Let it go. For Mr. Gai’s sake, they will show respect for us. As for us, we’ll give up what should be given up.”
He also felt helpless, for he did not know how to fight against the experts at the Heaven Realm Stage.
He had no way out in the face of absolute power.
Fortunately, Zhao Feng did not kill them, otherwise Zi Long and Zi Hu would not have been able to stay calm.
A group comprising of Zhang Hanyang, Emperor Qing, Gai Xingkong, the Warlord of Chan Clan who had not come over yet and Ji Wushuang who could offer help, would apparently be terrifying. Although the Lv family was formidable and ran their business in Hua nation, they respected them more or less. For the sake of safety, they were willing to pay more money.
He surmised that Zhang Guangyou was probably a martial artist, but he could not confirm that. Besides, his words also represented what the martial artists of the Zi Clan thought.
But the instant he finished speaking, Zhang Guangyou waved his hand, “Why should you abandon such treasures? They did act like bandits. Rest assured. As your in-law, I will not let anyone bully you!”
“Brother Zhang! It’s so kind of you!”
Zi Qiang was drunk as he spliced the main brace hurriedly. When he heard Zhang Guangyou’s words, he was so touched that he patted his chest and took the lead in raising his glass.
Clang!
They clinked their glasses.
Zi Qiang intended to take a sip and asked them to drink slowly, but...
Gulp!
Both Zhang Guangyou and Gai Xingkong tossed off their drinks in one gulp.
Zi Qiang was completely startled.
“Why did their faces not change color even after drinking three glasses of liquor in a row?”
“Now that they are drinking in this way, can I keep taking small sips?”
He felt a little embarrassed and intended to bite the bullet and start drinking to keep up with them.
However, at this moment, Zhang Han said with a smile, “Father-in-law, my father and Uncle Gai can drink a lot, so you don’t need to drink like them.”
“That’s right, dad. The true meaning of drinking doesn’t lie in the quantity but in the happiness it brings. It’s okay for Uncle Zhang and Uncle Gai to drink a little more, but you’re bad at drinking. Therefore, you should drink less, or in a few minutes...”
“You will get totally drunk and fall flat on your face!”
Zi Yan did not say it aloud initially, because she was convinced that her father knew when to stop.
“Ahem!”
Zi Qiang gave up showing off and put down the glass after taking a sip. Actually, he let out a sigh of relief when he heard their advice.
“I’m embarrassed about this. I’m not capable of drinking a lot, so it’s better that I drink slowly. I’m interested in playing Go at ordinary times and I’ve only met Han’s match in a contest many years ago.”
“Really? I’m good at playing Go as well.” Zhang Guangyou chuckled and said, “Let’s play Go after we finish drinking.”
“Great!” Zi Qiang laughed rejoicingly.
Seeing this, Zi Long and the others shook their heads helplessly. They were drinking merrily even though the problems had not been solved yet. It appeared to be true that the liquor could relieve stress.
They, therefore, did not mention it, hoping not to dampen their moods.
But it was Zhang Guangyou who brought it up first.
Finding that Zi Qiang was not quite drunk yet, he asked,
“In fact, business is not complicated. In-law, I have something to tell you in advance.”
“Okay, go ahead!”
“Yan once told me that your clan used to be in Hua nation. I wonder if you have plans to go back and develop your business.” Zhang Guangyou asked.
“Going back to develop our business? Erm...” Zi Qiang was stunned and did not know how to answer, “I have not decided yet. I’m willing to do so, but our clan is so big that I have to take other people’s feelings into consideration.”
“Actually, I think it’s a good idea. The Lv family is now like a mountain over our heads, so we would be under great pressure if we stay here.” Zi Hu sighed.
Hearing what he said, several martial artists from the Zi Clan nodded.
Lv Kong was able to destroy the whole Zi Clan single-handedly!
Possessing superb strength, he came out top among the martial artists in Singapore and several of his old friends were too formidable to be defeated.
Frankly speaking, as long as they gave an order, the Zi Clan could not survive in Singapore.
They surmised that Zhang Guangyou mentioned the matter in advance on account of its seriousness.
However, that was not the case.
Zhang Guangyou raised his eyebrows at this time, “I’m not worried about the Lv family, for their leader is just at the Heaven Early-stage. Besides, the worldlet is so small that there are neither blessed regions nor peaks. It’s completely of no significance.”
“What?”
Zi Long and Zi Hu froze.
What did he say?
Catching sight of their expressions, Zhang Guangyou shook his head slightly and released a hint of his aura.
Boom!
Like a huge crash of thunder, it hit the two men directly on their chests.
The pressure rendered them breathless.
“And me.”
Wang Xiaowu also let out a hint of his aura.
Boom!
The two of them trembled again.
What an astonishing pressure!
What was going on?
Both of them were a little stunned and looked at Zhang Guangyou in confusion.
In the meantime, all the people around quietened down except Mengmeng, who was enjoying the lunch.
Her bowl was always filled with delicious food.
“I’m from the Heavenly Knights Sect.” Zhang Guangyou said calmly.
Boom!
Zi Long and Zi Hu became dumbfounded again.
The Heavenly Knights Sect?
“To be exact, he is in charge of the Heavenly Knights Sect.” Wang Xiaowu reminded them coldly.
Kaboom!
The two men’s faces turned pale.
They looked at Zhang Guangyou in disbelief.
What they heard came as a total shock to them.
He was from the Heavenly Knights Sect and the Heavenly Knights Sect belonged to him!
“I, I seem to have uncovered a secret!” Zi Long said in a daze.
“So, you don’t have to worry.” Zhang Guangyou got back to the point, “The Lv family is not a big deal.”
The restaurant quietened down again.
After a while, Zi Hu gave a wry smile and said, “Fine, I’m really astonished. It’s so scary.”
“That’s why I offered the proposal before. You should know what I mean, that is, the danger lies in other aspects. If others learn that Han and Yan are going to get married... If...”
Before Zhang Guangyou finished his words, Zi Long quickly replied, “That’s right, this matter should be of concern. Patriarch, I think we’re supposed to plan our schedule.”
The battle between the Heavenly Knights Sect and the Wind Snow School was world-famous. Zi Long was also very clear that Zhang Guangyou enjoyed a high position in the Heavenly Knights Sect judging from what Wang Xiaowu said before. Considering that his son and Zi Yan were about to get married, the Zi Clan would likely be destroyed by some masters once they were targeted.
