Thinking about this, everyone fell silent.

We need to use Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ. So: "Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, everyone fell silent."

Seeing them silent, Fu Zhi smiled and said, "You won't still harbor illusions about the Wang family, will you? I tell you, all important members of the Wang family have been taken away; they can no longer turn things around. If you don't believe me, you can inquire—given your abilities, you'll easily get this information."

Translation: Those people hurriedly made phone calls, contacted their connections, to inquire about this matter.

The result shocked them.

We need to use Jiéguǒ and Zhènjīng. So: "Jiéguǒ made them Zhènjīng." Or "Jiéguǒ Zhènjīng them." We'll do: "Jiéguǒ left them Zhènjīng." But we need to keep meaning: "The result shocked them." Using terms: "Jiéguǒ made them Zhènjīng." That is okay.

It actually turned out exactly as Fu Zhi had said.

Translation: It really was exactly as Fu Zhi said.

"Moreover, do you think we really can't do anything about the people behind the Wang family? The reason we haven't acted against them is that we still want to draw out more people; now is the time to close the net."

"Moreover, do you think we really can't do anything about the people behind the Wang family? The reason we haven't acted against them is that we still want to draw out more people; now is the time to close the net."

No wonder Fu Zhi is so domineering; they were actually scheming against the Wang family.

It's not that they didn't take action; they just wanted to draw out more people.

It's not that they didn't Dòngshǒu; they just wanted to draw out more people.

But we need to keep natural English: "It wasn't that they refrained from Dòngshǒu; they merely wanted to draw out more people." We'll do: "It wasn't that they refrained from Dòngshǒu; they merely wanted to draw out more people."

And today, for them, the timing is already sufficient.

Leng Shuai's face turned pale.

Thinking about this, Leng Shuai trembled all over.

Use Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ. So: "Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, Leng Shuai trembled all over."

This is absolutely not something he would want to see.

"Please consider, you can agree to form a chamber of commerce with the Wang family, but that's only because you value the Wang family's backing; the people behind my Fu family will only be stronger than those behind the Wang family."

However, Leng Shuai also knew that now was the time to show loyalty.

"The Feng family martial arts hall."

"'My brother-in-law is trying to help our Fu family find some experts to guard the Fu family; are you worried someone might move against us?'"

Qin Yang shook his head and said: "I'm just looking for some subordinates for you; definitely someone will move against you, but those people, the Feng family can't even stop them."

Fu Zhi sucked in a breath of cold air.

Translation: Fu Zhi sucked in a breath of cold air.

In his view, the Feng family had already become immensely powerful.

The so-called Feng family martial arts hall is actually the king of the entire Xuzhou underground world.

Even the several cities nearby all revere the Feng family.

They merely focus on martial training and are unwilling to expand their territory, which is why they haven't expanded their turf.

Qin Yang actually doesn't think highly of them at all—it's simply unbelievable.

You must absolutely not be careless—the Feng family is still very strong.

Don't worry—even their strongest can't beat Nuan Yue now.

Qin Yang chuckled lightly.

Last night, Su Nuan Yue reached Foundation Establishment.

As a first-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, she is no longer comparable to ordinary martial artists.

Even an ordinary martial artist with exquisite techniques is no match for her—they can't even penetrate her defense.

Fu Zhi looked utterly astonished.

They drove to the Feng family martial arts hall.

Fu Zhi stepped forward and said, "Please inform the hall master—just say that Fu Zhi of the Fu family has come to pay a visit."

Initially, the other side was somewhat dismissive.

But upon hearing Fu Zhi's name, they immediately put away their contemptuous expression; the gatekeeper disciple immediately said, "Please wait a moment, Fu Zong—I'll notify the master right away."

The gatekeeper disciple took out his phone and dialed.

Soon he said to Fu Zhi, "The master said he doesn't want to see guests today; Fu Zong, please come back tomorrow."

Fu Zhi raised his eyebrows.

If it were him, he'd probably just turn and leave.

But now, following Su Nuan Yue and Qin Yang, he naturally cannot leave.

Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, Fu Zhi calmly said, "Please trouble you to pass along once more; I have an urgent matter to discuss with the hall master."

That martial arts hall disciple instantly showed an impatient expression.

"My master said he won't see you, and that's final—what nonsense are you spouting? Get lost quickly."

A cold light flashed in Fu Zhi's eyes; he grew somewhat angry.

Just then, a person appeared, having only one arm.

He said irritably, "Who's making a ruckus here?"

"Senior brother, it's Fu Zhi of the Fu family; he wants to see the master, but the master refuses to see him, he won't leave, and he even wants to cause trouble."

The gatekeeper disciple said.

Feng Yun said impatiently, "If you won't leave, I'll throw you out—don't bother people here."

That disciple was about to Dòngshǒu.

Just then, Qin Yang's voice sounded.

"Your Excellency, you're quite imposing; after not seeing you for a few days, your temper has grown even larger."

Feng Yun felt the other's voice was somewhat familiar.

He turned around to look.

When he saw Qin Yang, Feng Yun trembled all over.

He jogged over to Qin Yang's side and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It turns out to be Qin Yang and Su Nuan Yue; sorry, I just didn't notice you two earlier. Your esteemed status makes visiting our martial arts hall an honor for us; I'll now notify the master to come out and greet you two honored guests."

Qin Yang, however, said, "No need; just take us straight inside."

"Alright, please follow me."

Feng Yun hurriedly said.

The gatekeeper disciple looked bewildered and couldn't help saying, "Senior brother, why are you being so courteous to them?"

Feng Yun slapped him across the face and said Bùmǎn, "Shut your mouth; it's all your fault—you almost made me neglect the guests; go reflect properly."

The gatekeeper disciple instantly dared not speak.
