"Whoosh!"
However, just as Wang Yufeng thought he was about to succeed, Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and a small stone shot out rapidly, hitting Wang Yufeng's knee, causing him to stumble forward awkwardly.
"Who is it?" Wang Yufeng angrily shouted in pain. However, seeing the maid holding Yang Meng'er running away in panic, he couldn't afford to worry too much. He quickly got up and chased after them, yelling, "Stop right there!"
The sudden fight in the marketplace scared the cultivators on the street, leaving only a few at the Bigu stage watching the excitement from the sidelines.
"Wang Yufeng, you brought this on yourself! Hmph!" Xiao Chen coldly snorted in his heart, his icy gaze sweeping over the five Wang family disciples attacking the Yang family expert.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With a cold glance, Xiao Chen made his move again, flicking out five stones simultaneously. They hit the five Wang family disciples instantly, causing them to cry out in pain and collapse to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Yang Changfeng was suddenly shocked. Seeing the small stones on the ground made him even more astonished. Using just five small stones to defeat five Bigu stage experts, this person's cultivation was definitely terrifying!
"Thank you for your help!" Knowing that someone was assisting him in the dark, Yang Changfeng cupped his hands in gratitude and quickly chased after Yang Meng'er.
"Xiao Chen, hurry! Let's go check it out too!" The ancient white tiger urged anxiously through a voice transmission.
"Alright! This time, Wang Yufeng is going to suffer!" Xiao Chen sneered, quickly rushing in the direction where Wang Yufeng fled.
Yang Changfeng, being an expert at the late stage of the Bigu realm, was much faster than Wang Yufeng and quickly caught up.
Wang Yufeng, seeing he was about to catch the maid, showed a smug sneer. However, the next moment, his smug smile stiffened, replaced by excruciating pain.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen quickly flicked his finger, sending a small stone crashing into Wang Yufeng's knee again, in the same spot, causing him to scream in pain. Due to his fast forward momentum, he lost balance and rolled forward several times.
"Who is helping in the dark?" Seeing Wang Yufeng suddenly fall, Yang Changfeng guessed it was the work of the mysterious helper, but he was also puzzled about why this person was helping him.
Yang Changfeng quickly reached the maid and asked anxiously, "Miss, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Yang Meng'er, looking frightened, shook her head, "No, I'm fine."
"That's good!" Yang Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned his gaze to Wang Yufeng, who was disguised, and with a flash of intense killing intent, he coldly asked, "Who are you? Why did you try to kidnap the miss? Speak quickly, or I'll kill you!"
Yang Changfeng swiftly drew his sword, pointing it at the half-lying Wang Yufeng, who hurriedly said, "Wait! I meant no harm, I just wanted to test Brother Changfeng's strength."
"You are Wang Yufeng! I recognize your voice! The Wang family is truly despicable, daring to kidnap our Yang family's young miss in broad daylight. The Wang family's audacity is growing!" Yang Changfeng angrily shouted, recognizing Wang Yufeng's voice.
"What?" Hearing this, Wang Yufeng's face turned pale with fear.
"Wang Yufeng, you're unlucky to fall into my hands today! Your Wang family has gone too far and is too despicable! I will kill you today!" Yang Changfeng shouted angrily, his killing intent locking onto Wang Yufeng, making the latter even more terrified.
"Stop! Take him back to the Yang family immediately and let my father deal with him!" Yang Meng'er said.
"Yes, miss!" Yang Changfeng nodded, sheathing his sword, and escorted Wang Yufeng back to the Yang family.
"Xiao Chen, mission accomplished! This time, Yang Zhengxiong won't go easy on him!" The ancient white tiger transmitted with a laugh.
"Hmph! Wang Yufeng is doomed this time. The Wang family dared to target the Yang family's young miss, Yang Zhengxiong will personally kill Wang Yufeng and use harsher methods to deal with the Wang family." Xiao Chen coldly snorted, then vanished.
As expected!
When Yang Changfeng returned to the Yang family with Yang Meng'er and recounted the events, Yang Zhengxiong was furious. Without a word, he killed Wang Yufeng on the spot with a palm strike!
"Outrageous! The Wang family is getting more and more excessive! How dare they target Meng'er!" Madame Yang angrily said, "Send the order! Anyone who sees a Wang family member in Fengyue City, kill them!"
"Wait! Killing them is too easy! They dared to target Meng'er, I, Yang Zhengxiong, will make them regret ever being born!" Yang Zhengxiong shouted angrily. He was completely furious, his face full of killing intent, looking extremely terrifying.
Yang Meng'er was his precious daughter, and now that the Wang family almost captured her, Yang Zhengxiong was naturally enraged.
Feeling Yang Zhengxiong's anger and killing intent, no one in the hall dared to speak. Even Madame Yang, who usually never gave Yang Zhengxiong face, didn't dare to intervene, and the third-grade alchemist Liu Jiangyun didn't dare to be presumptuous either.
"Since the Wang family dared to target Meng'er, we can target Wang Xuan. Send the order, if there's a chance to kill Wang Xuan, don't miss it! Leave the others alive, I'll make them live in fear forever! Hang Wang Yufeng's body in the marketplace! Also, spread the word, anyone who dares to buy from the Wang family's shop is an enemy of the Yang family!" Yang Zhengxiong shouted angrily, his facial muscles twitching with rage.
"Yes, master!" Yang family disciple Yang Tian quickly took Wang Yufeng's body away.
"Master, why don't we just destroy the Wang family directly?" Second Elder Yang Chongshan asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Yang Zhengxiong angrily said, "I want to cut off all their sources of income, trap them in the Wang family, and make them so terrified they won't dare to step outside! Killing them is too easy, but this is too lenient!"
At this point, Yang Zhengxiong looked at Yang Changfeng and asked, "Changfeng, you said someone helped you from the dark. Do you know who it is? Since Meng'er returned safely, we must thank him regardless of his motives."
Yang Changfeng quickly replied, "Master, this person is mysterious. With my cultivation, I couldn't find him. Moreover, he easily subdued five Bigu stage experts, which shows his cultivation is above the Golden Core stage. Without his help, I couldn't have brought the miss back safely."
"Who is this person? Why so mysterious?" Yang Qing asked curiously.
"Changfeng, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself," Yang Zhengxiong waved his hand and said.
"Just as I thought, if my guess is correct, this person is the same one who saved Alchemist Liu last time! But who could he be, helping our Yang family so much?" Madame Yang speculated, curious about the mysterious helper.
Yang Zhengxiong shook his head, "I can't guess either. Who in Fengyue City has such cultivation? Could it be him? It shouldn't be possible."
...
Wang Yufeng's death quickly spread throughout Fengyue City. Upon learning the cause, the cultivators in the city were even more disgusted with the Wang family. Such despicable acts made everyone angry.
Although the Wang family couldn't swallow this bitter pill, they didn't dare confront the Yang family directly. A direct confrontation would lead to their destruction, as the Wang family had already angered the cultivators in Fengyue City, so they had to bottle up their anger.
Over the next month, under the Yang family's intense suppression, most cultivators in Fengyue City didn't dare to patronize the Wang family's shop. Only a few, attracted by low prices, visited, as did passersby with cultivation, making business increasingly sluggish.
The Wang family fell to the bottom, even worse than the Xiao family, and it seemed almost impossible for them to recover unless they found a way to threaten the Yang family.
In this month, the cultivation of Xiao family disciples progressed rapidly, making them much stronger than two months ago. As the Wang family declined, the Xiao family disciples began to reappear in the eyes of the cultivators in Fengyue City.
Because of this, everyone in the Xiao family was overjoyed, seeing the light of hope and feeling awe and admiration for Xiao Chen.
In the Xiao family hall, Xiao Changfeng happily said, "Chen'er, the Xiao family can overcome this crisis all thanks to you. We all witnessed it. As your father, I'm proud of you. This time, the Wang family got what they deserved!"
"Indeed! It's our turn to deal with the Wang family. Brother Xiao Chen's Tianling Wine is amazing! After cultivating for just over two months, I broke through to the mid-stage of Bigu!" Xiao Kui excitedly said but quickly lowered his head, realizing something.
"Hehe, Father, it's my duty to contribute to the Xiao family," Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.
"Brother Xiao Chen, when will our Xiao family start selling the Heavenly Spirit Wine?" Xiao Ling asked, tilting her head.
Xiao Yuntian also spoke up, "Now that the Wang family has completely fallen, being relentlessly suppressed by the Yang family, they no longer have the time to deal with us. Xiao Chen, we should be able to start selling it now."
Xiao Chen smiled lightly and said, "In a few days. First, send someone to clean up the Xiao family's shop."
"Great! Our Xiao family will regain its former glory! The Heavenly Spirit Wine will definitely replace all the pills in Fengyue City! Haha!" Xiao Changfeng said happily, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
...
At the auction house, Gu Yan said excitedly, "Great, the Xiao family has finally emerged. Just as I predicted, this time the Wang family is completely defeated. With Xiao Chen stepping in, the Wang family has no way out!"
"Gu Yan, do you really have to be so happy about it?" Yaoyao said sullenly, rolling her eyes at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan laughed and said, "Yaoyao, just wait and see. This time the Xiao family's resurgence is not going to be simple! I'm really looking forward to seeing how Xiao Chen saves the Xiao family!"
