Chapter 239: The Overwhelming Aura of a Half‑step Celestial Being!

Everyone's eyes scanned back and forth between Jiangnan Wang and Jiang Feng, their faces full of curiosity and doubt.

Qin Kuo Hai's heart gave a sudden thump, and he hurried forward quickly.

"Prince, calm down, calm down! I don't know where Mr. Jiang has offended the Prince? If there's something to say, speak properly; it might just be a misunderstanding."

He inwardly complained, Jiang Feng was the person brought by Yitian Pavilion, able to represent Yitian Pavilion in the Wu Zun Ruins exploration, thus must be a Grand Master‑level stronger, and could not be offended lightly.

Although Jiangnan Wang is his prospective son‑in‑law, he is still of noble blood, so he cannot refuse to give face.

Jiangnan Wang stared fixedly at Jiang Feng, his teeth chattering.

"Misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding! This kid and I have an irreconcilable, deep‑seated hatred; today it must be settled!"

He did not mention the loss of several hundred billion and the matter of the Western Frontier Four Demons. Those affairs cannot see the light; if spread, they would damage Jiangnan Wang's face, but he believes Jiang Feng certainly knows the situation!

Before, he had no way to deal with Jiang Feng; now… he feels confident!

This kid Jiang Feng must die!

As soon as those words were spoken, the reception hall erupted in a clamor.

"An irreconcilable, deep‑seated hatred? How great is this grudge, really?"

"Seeing Jiangnan Wang's stance, does he intend to act on the spot?"

"What on earth is Jiang Feng, that he dares to provoke Jiangnan Wang?"

Qin Kuo Hai's expression grew solemn; he hadn't expected the two's feud to have deepened to this extent, making mediation even harder.

He looked at Jiang Feng, his tone carrying a hint of probing.

"Mr. Jiang, regarding the feud the Prince mentioned, I wonder if it's true? If there is any grievance, why not sit down and discuss it slowly?"

Jiang Feng leaned on the chair, a calm expression on his face.

"We indeed have a grudge, but… it's also because he's too stupid."

As those words left his mouth, everyone dropped their jaws in shock.

"After all, he's a proper Prince; how the hell can you speak so arrogantly?"

"Fine! What an arrogant kid! Today this Prince will not let you go! Senior Tiancan…"

As soon as Jiangnan Wang finished speaking, a gaunt figure slowly emerged from the crowd behind him.

It was an elder who looked over seventy, his body thin as firewood.

But when he took his first step, a terrifying aura instantly burst from him, sweeping the entire reception hall in an instant.

This aura was extremely domineering, bearing a majesty that towered over all beings.

All the Grand Masters present had their faces change dramatically, their breaths suddenly becoming rapid, their bodies involuntarily trembling.

"This… what is this aura?"

Long Bad Dao's face turned pale, his voice trembling.

"So strong! Much stronger than my family's Old Master!"

Miao Linfeng's face grew solemn, fists clenched tightly, his inner true qi raging wildly, barely resisting the pressure of this aura.

She could feel that this aura had already surpassed the scope of a Grand Master, faintly carrying a hint of something beyond the mortal.

That is the aura of the Heavenly Realm!

At that moment, the Qin Family Backyard suddenly exhaled a heavy aura, instantly offsetting part of the elder's pressure.

Immediately after, a hoarse and aged voice came from the Backyard, resonating throughout the reception hall.

"Which fellow Daoist has descended upon my Qin Family? I, Old brother Qin Feihong, am honored!"

"Qin Feihong?"

Qin Kuo Hai, hearing the name, his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly knelt on one knee toward the direction of the voice.

"Child, may I present to the Old Ancestor!"

As he moved, Qin Bin, Qin Kuodong and the rest of the Qin clan also reacted in turn.

Regardless of elder or ordinary clan member, all knelt down in unison.

"Welcome, Old Ancestor!"

Long Bad Dao leaned close to Jiang Feng's ear, lowering his voice.

"Old Jiang, good fellow! Even the previous head of the Qin Family has been roused! Qin Feihong is one of the few living Heavenly Being experts of the Qin Family; legend says he sealed himself away decades ago, never expecting to appear today…"

Jiang Feng gave a slight nod, a hint of something flickering in his eyes.

Soon, a figure slowly walked out of the Backyard.

The newcomer was an elderly man with white hair and beard, tall and upright; though he looked very old, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well.

It was the Qin Family's Heavenly Being expert, Qin Feihong.

Qin Feihong walked to the center of the reception hall, his gaze landing on the gaunt elder behind Jiangnan Wang, and he slightly clasped his fists.

"Friend, may I know your full name? Your arrival at the Qin Family today is a great honor."

The gaunt elder slowly lifted his head, a glint of brilliance flashing in his murky eyes.

"I, Old brother Qi Yue Shan, the Tiancan Daoist, have met the Qin Family head."

"What? Tiancan Daoist?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the reception hall fell into dead silence, everyone's faces turning ashen.

"Tiancan Daoist? Could it be the famed Ninth‑rank Grand Master Tiancan Daoist who was renowned in the jianghu years ago?"

"Exactly! It must be him! Legend says Tiancan Daoist reached the Ninth‑rank Grand Master Peak twenty years ago, only one step away from the Heavenly Realm, and was one of the top strongest at the time!"

"I thought he had long sealed himself away, perhaps even attained ascension, but to my surprise he is still alive, and has been recruited by Jiangnan Wang!"

"Jiangnan Wang's influence is immense, to think he could summon such a top‑tier strongman!"

The murmurs surged like a tide, everyone's gaze toward Jiangnan Wang changed.

The Prince's status is ultimately empty, yet having a Half‑step Celestial Being constantly by his side is truly absurd.

Jiangnan Wang looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

He lifted his chin slightly and gave Qin Kuo Hai a slight bow.

"Family Head Qin, this Heavenly Ruin Daoist is the Grand Master I specifically invited this time to join the Wu Zun Ruins exploration."

Qin Kuo Hai hurriedly forced out a trace of Laughter.

"The arrival of the Heavenly Ruin Daoist is our blessing!"

Not to mention the others; even he was astonished by the prospective son‑in‑law's handiwork.

"However, before entering the Wu Zun Ruins, Senior Heavenly Ruin and Mr. Jiang Feng have some personal grudges to settle."

Jiangnan Wang shifted his tone, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Jiang Feng.

The Heavenly Ruin Daoist's eyes were as sharp as a sword, locking onto Jiang Feng.

"Young man, Old brother asks you: did you kill my three weak Disciple?"

His voice was not loud, yet it carried terrifying power, instantly silencing the entire reception hall.

Everyone held their Breath, eyes fixed on Jiang Feng, their hearts filled with shock.

Jiang Feng actually killed the Heavenly Ruin Daoist's Disciple? And three of them?

One must know that the Heavenly Ruin Daoist is a Nine‑rank Grand Master, a Half‑step Celestial Being; how could his Disciple be weak?

Being taken as a Disciple by such a top‑tier powerhouse must mean they are also a Grand Master‑level expert!

Jiang Feng actually killed three Grand Masters, and they were the Heavenly Ruin Daoist's Disciple?

This guy's nerve is way too big! It's like digging on the Grand Duke's head!

The Grand Masters present wore faces of utter horror, their gazes at Jiang Feng like they were looking at a monster.

They are all Grand Masters, naturally aware how hard it is to kill a Grand Master, let alone slay three at once, and they were the Heavenly Ruin Daoist's Disciple.

Just how strong is Jiang Feng's power?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng gave a faint smile.

"Old man, I've killed more people; who are the three weak ones you mentioned?"
