Chapter 329: The Number One in Huaibei!
Just as everyone was in shock, Fang Yu walked towards the crowd.
Someone took the lead, and all the representatives of martial arts families bowed to Fang Yu!
“We, we welcome Master Fang!” everyone shouted in unison.
Fang Yu was stunned, ignoring them, and walked straight to the dazed Qin Lang.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Lang snapped out of his trance, his body jolting, and immediately replied, “Yes, yes!”
Then, the two walked out from the crowd, heading outside the Zheng family compound.
After taking a few steps, a voice suddenly came from behind.
“Master Fang, please wait!”
Fang Yu stopped and turned around to see Han Qi walking out.
“What is it?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.
Han Qi stepped forward, respectfully cupping his fists, and said, “Master Fang, your single-handed defeat of the Zheng family will certainly shock the entire Nine Provinces Nation. I represent the Han family, and from now on, we are willing to respect you as our superior and follow your orders…”
As soon as he spoke, the other family representatives behind him also became restless.
They had all witnessed Fang Yu’s terrifying strength.
After taking down the Zheng family, Fang Yu was now the number one figure in Huaibei’s martial arts world!
Now was the perfect time to declare their stance!
As long as they stood with Fang Yu, they would be safe!
Just as the various family representatives were about to speak, Fang Yu frowned and said, “I have no interest in getting involved in affairs between your families.”
“The reason I came to the Zheng family was because they provoked me first.”
“Also, regarding today’s events, just keep what you saw to yourselves, don’t spread it around. If you cause me trouble, I’ll come looking for you, understand?”
Fang Yu’s final words sent a shiver through all the family representatives.
They had all witnessed the Zheng family’s tragic fate.
They certainly didn’t want to follow the same path!
“Rest assured, Master Fang, if you don’t want too much publicity, all the major families present will work together to minimize the impact of today’s incident,” said Han Qi.
“Yes, yes, Master Fang, please don’t worry…” the representatives of other families chimed in.
Fang Yu glanced at Han Qi, then turned and left.
Han Qi watched Fang Yu’s departing figure, his eyes hiding excitement.
He had deliberately stepped forward to say those words to Fang Yu to test his attitude.
Now, he knew that Fang Yu had no interest in getting involved in the power struggles among Huaibei’s major families.
This was excellent news for the Han family.
Previously, the powerful Zheng family had been like a mountain, pressing down on the Han family until they could barely breathe.
But after today, with the Zheng family’s collapse, the landscape of Huaibei’s martial arts world would undergo major changes!
If the Han family seized this opportunity, they could rise to the top!
Only after Fang Yu and Qin Lang had disappeared from sight did the various family representatives finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The pressure Fang Yu exerted on them was simply too strong.
“What should we… do now?” one family head asked somewhat confusedly.
“Do whatever you need to do, but let’s leave this place first,” another family head said.
Then, all the family representatives departed from the Zheng family compound.
At the entrance of the Zheng family estate, Han Qi happened to meet Chen Nansheng, the head of the Chen family.
Chen Nansheng looked at Han Qi, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
Han Qi, on the other hand, walked up with a smile and asked, “Family Head Chen, we’ve rarely seen Young Master Chen Luo lately. May I ask where he is?”
Chen Nansheng’s expression changed slightly.
“None of your business. Why are you asking so many questions? Is Chen Luo that close to you?” Chen Yi impatiently interjected from the side.
Before Han Qi could respond, Han Tianyu, standing beside him, stepped forward, glaring angrily at Chen Yi, and said, “Chen Yi, you dare speak to my brother like that?”
The two were about to start arguing.
At this moment, Han Qi patted Han Tianyu’s shoulder and said, “It’s just a greeting, no need to argue.”
Then, Han Qi looked at Chen Nansheng and smiled, “Family Head Chen, I have important matters to discuss with Chen Luo. Could you please relay this message to him?”
Chen Nansheng narrowed his eyes at Han Qi, remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “No problem. Chen Luo is currently handling some affairs out of town and will need some time. When he returns, I’ll have him find you.”
“Good, thank you, Family Head Chen. We’ll be leaving now,” Han Qi smiled, pulling Han Tianyu away.
Chen Nansheng watched Han Qi’s retreating figure, his expression grave.
After the Zheng family’s collapse, the Han family was now the Chen family’s only rival.
And the confidence on Han Qi’s face puzzled him.
“Damn, that sissy is really disgusting, always wearing that fake smile…” Chen Yi cursed from the side.
Chen Nansheng glanced at Chen Yi and frowned, “Let’s go back. We need to hold a family meeting tonight.”
…
Han Qi sat back in the car, deep in thought.
Beside him, Han Tianyu was breathing heavily.
Recalling Fang Yu’s skills during the fight with Zheng Yan, Han Tianyu felt a chill of fear.
Back at Frost Cold Palace, if he had been a bit more arrogant, the consequences would have been unimaginable…
“Brother, did you know Master Fang before?” Han Tianyu turned to Han Qi and asked.
Han Qi’s thoughts were interrupted, his expression not looking good, and he replied, “I’ve only met him twice.”
“If we could get Master Fang’s help, we would definitely secure the top position! Should we go find Master Fang again…” Han Tianyu said excitedly.
“No, it’s better for us if Fang Yu doesn’t get involved,” Han Qi said firmly.
“Why?” Han Tianyu asked, puzzled.
“We can seek cooperation with Fang Yu, but so can the Chen family and all the other major families. In the end, it would come down to who can offer more benefits… whoever gets Fang Yu’s help would dominate Huaibei’s martial arts world,” Han Qi looked at Han Tianyu and calmly said, “Fang Yu is an existence that disrupts the balance.”
“With Fang Yu not involved, in the entire Huaibei martial arts world, we only have one opponent, the Chen family. Once we defeat the Chen family, our Han family can rise to the top.”
Han Tianyu nodded, seeming to understand but not fully, then thought of something else and said, “What if we don’t approach Fang Yu, but the Chen family does?”
Han Qi smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry, from what I know of Fang Yu, he’s not someone who pursues profit. He won’t align himself with any family.”
…
About twenty kilometers away from the Zheng family estate, in the presidential suite on the top floor of a five-star hotel in the city center.
In the center of the living room floated a square mirror.
This mirror was surrounded by a faint, wave-like energy.
In front of the mirror was a sofa, on which sat a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl and a slightly balding man.
These two were Zhi’er and Wu Neng from the Order organization.
Zhi’er held a cushion in her arms and had a lollipop in her mouth, but her eyes were filled with shock.
Beside her, Wu Neng’s expression was even more exaggerated, his mouth hanging open!
At this moment, the two were looking at the mirror.
The content in the mirror showed the current situation at the Zheng family compound!
The mirror’s perspective was from high above, looking down.
The massive ground depression caused by Fang Yu and Zheng Yan’s battle was particularly shocking from this angle!
A crater hundreds of meters in diameter!
How powerful must one be to create such a huge crater!?
It was simply unimaginable!
“How… how was this done?” Wu Neng swallowed and muttered in disbelief.
Zhi’er didn’t speak but turned her head to glare angrily at Wu Neng, scolding in a sweet voice, “It’s all your fault! If you had woken me up earlier, I could have seen them fighting!”
Hearing this, Wu Neng turned his head, exasperated, and said, “You have the nerve to blame me? I told you not to take a nap! You didn’t listen! If you hadn’t napped, we could have activated the Spirit Mirror two hours ago!”
“Girls must take naps! Otherwise, they’ll become ugly. You don’t even understand this simple principle, no wonder you’re in your thirties and still can’t find a wife!” Zhi’er crossed her arms, pouting angrily.
“You!” Wu Neng was so angry he stood up, pointing at Zhi’er, his body trembling.
He’d had enough!
Every time they argued, Zhi’er would launch personal attacks! And each time, she would hit right at his sore spot!
“Wait! Stop arguing!”
At this moment, Zhi’er’s expression suddenly changed, her eyes fixed on the Spirit Mirror.
“What’s wrong?”
Wu Neng followed Zhi’er’s gaze toward the Spirit Mirror.
The perspective of the Spirit Mirror hadn’t changed, still high in the air.
Wu Neng squinted, looking, but couldn’t see anything unusual.
