"(Free.) "Season like the wind!" Dong Zhitao knew it was Ji Rufeng from the Season family as soon as he heard his voice. The two had always been arch-enemies and would often engage in a war of words whenever they met, but it never escalated to physical violence."
Both of them knew that once they started fighting, it would be a big war between two families, which was something they could not afford.
"This is none of your business, leave quickly. This is a matter for the Dong family, I hope you can restrain yourself a bit, if something goes wrong, it's not something you can handle." Dong Wujing's face was somewhat unpleasant, before coming, the master Dong Wuchang had also analyzed and basically ruled out the possibility of the Ji family being involved in this matter.
According to the informant from the Dong family's branch in Chijiao City, Ye Feng and his party came from the Barbaric Wilderness and entered the city. They should have come to Chijiao City after exploring the Barbaric Wilderness, and shouldn't have anything to do with the Ji family.
So Dong Wuquan would send someone to capture Ye Feng, otherwise, how could Dong Wuquan so casually dispatch two Yuan Ying period masters? If he found out that the Ji family was also involved, at least he should have made a good plan.
"Haha, joke, this isn't your Dong family's territory either, what makes you think you can come and I can't?" Ji Rufeng was full of confidence, not putting the Dong family's Yuan Ying period master in his eyes at all.
"Kid, I'll give you some advice. This matter has nothing to do with the Ji family. Saying one more word might bring you unnecessary trouble." Dong Wushuang's tone was relatively relaxed, and he didn't directly drive Ji Rufeng away.
"Where did this come from? Do you want to take action against my friend, and I, Ji Rufeng, will pretend not to see it, allowing you to bully my friend? Is there such a thing in the world?" Ji Rufeng looked at the Dong family members.
"Your friend? Who is your friend?" Dong Zhitao asked.
"Of course, you're the ones surrounding us and wanting to harm people." Ji Rufeng pointed at Ye Feng and others and said: "This is my good friend Li Ran, whom I met during my travels in Nanhuang. If you want to move against my friends, first get past me." Ji Rufeng forgot to ask Ye Feng's name and randomly made one up.
"Even if this person is your friend, you must avenge him today." Dong Zhitao would never give up at this time, especially with the appearance of Ji Rufeng, which further ignited Dong Zhitao's hatred.
If this matter is settled like this, I believe it will spread throughout the Red Sparrow City, and people will say that Dong Zhitao was beaten by someone, but after Ji Rufeng appeared, he didn't dare to ask for an explanation from him, so in terms of momentum, his reputation has been weakened.
Two people have been fighting for many years, how can Dong Zhitao be afraid of Ji Rufeng?
"Dong Zhitao, don't give you face and you won't give it to me. I, Ji Rufeng, am not someone to be trifled with either. Today, you dare to touch a hair on my friend's head, I'll make sure you can't swallow your own spit." Ji Rufeng's face was also gloomy, this was the time to put on a real show.
Not only must we attack the Dong family, but also find a good reason, at least one that won't make us lose face, and have some excuse.
"Season, don't think you can bully me just because of your family's influence. Do you want to cause a war between our two families?" Dong Wujing warned Season, it was impossible for the two families to turn against each other completely over such a small matter, that would be no trivial thing, once the two families went to war, the impact would be unimaginable, the entire Red Sparrow City's future situation would be affected by the great war.
Everyone in the Dong family thought that Ji Rufeng would retreat after being warned, after all, such a thing was too shocking, and no one dared to take responsibility.
"I've said it before, Li Ran is my friend, and anyone who dares to touch a single hair on his head will have to get through me first." But Ji Rufeng refused to back down.
The Dong family is now in a precarious situation, if they insist on taking action against Ye Feng, it means that Ji Rufeng will definitely get involved, and the two families may have a fight.
But if they give up like this, the reputation of the Dong family will suffer a great blow. Not only will it spread that the Dong family is afraid of the Ji family, but also that the Dong family is even afraid of an outsider cultivator, which would be unacceptable to the Dong family.
For a moment, the two prenatal masters of the Dong family seemed somewhat hesitant and dared not give orders randomly.
"Hahaha!" Ji Rufeng burst into a fit of mad laughter, seeing that the Dong family had no reaction, he decided to provoke them, "Brother Li, rest assured, as long as I, Ji Rufeng, am in Red Sparrow City, no one will dare touch you."
Ji's words cannot be said to be arrogant, but saying such things in front of everyone obviously degraded the Dong family.
The distant voices all heard Ji Rufeng intentionally raise his voice in a mad speech, and they discussed it in an uproar.
"It seems that this time the Dong family is indeed inferior to the Ji family."
"That's right, Ji Rufeng is calling out to you, if the Dong family doesn't dare say anything, their status in Chijiao City will plummet."
"Hum! The Dong family has lost a lot of face this time."
The gossip of the masters came over, and the face of the Dong family suddenly felt a bit unbearable. What people live for is just a matter of face. Before, Ye Feng publicly broke Dong Zhitao's fingers, which had already made the Dong family lose face. Now, Ji Rufeng was again boasting in public, wasn't this adding insult to injury?
Dong Wujing's face turned red and green, he had lived to be a hundred years old, but had never suffered such humiliation.
"Hum!" Dong Wujing's clothes fluttered without wind, his spiritual energy puffed out his clothes, and his intimidating aura instantly spread over everyone.
Ye Feng suddenly became more vigilant, it seemed that Dong Wuchang was about to make a move. His anger had been completely ignited by Ji Rufeng's words, and if Ji Rufeng added another spark, Dong Wuchang would definitely take action.
"Thanks, Brother Ji. It seems the rumors are true after all, the Ji family is indeed the master of Red Sparrow Castle, and no one dares to not give face to the Ji family." Ye Feng saw that Ji Rufeng was silent, so he started stirring up trouble instead.
"You two young whippersnappers, your fur hasn't even grown in yet and you're already so arrogant. Today I'll teach you a lesson. Since the Ji family doesn't know how to discipline their children, I'll take it upon myself to do it for them."
Dong Wu Qing's palm lifted, a dazzling light ball appeared in his palm, emitting endless pressure, and was about to launch an attack on Ye Feng beside Ji Ru Feng.
In his mind, he still wanted to subdue Ye Feng. As for Ji Rufeng, Dong Wujing was certain that Ji Rufeng would not stand there waiting to accept his attack, and besides, Dong Wujing's attack range did not include Ji Rufeng.
"Dong Wuchang, you old thing, dare to take action against a junior, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the Red Sparrow Castle's Cultivation Realm? You've really lived to be as shameless as a dog." A thunderous shout came from the Guest Come Wine House.
Just as the light ball on Dong Wujing's palm was about to leave his hand and rush towards Ye Feng, a figure quickly ran out of the Kui Lai wine tower, and a green light dissolved the light ball.
"Ji Ziyu! What are you trying to do!" Dong Wuchang's beard stood on end as he glared at the newcomer and shouted.
"Haha, what I want to do, I haven't even asked you what you want to do yet." The newcomer was tall and sturdy, with a fierce appearance.
"I will definitely teach this kid who dares to bully my Dong family a good lesson, so that others won't think that the Dong family is nobody and can be bullied by an outsider in Chi Que City." Dong Wu Jing was furious, it seemed that the Ji family did it on purpose.
"You can teach whoever you want, I don't care, but as for the children of the Ji family, no matter how unimpressive they may be, it's not your turn to interfere, Dong family." Ji Ziyu said.
"Who wants to teach you a lesson, the young master of the Ji family? I don't have that kind of leisure time yet." said Dong Wujing.
"Nonsense, do you think I'm blind? If I hadn't arrived in time just now, Qi Rufeng would have probably been injured by your hands. What's wrong, are you trying to deny it? You were always good at playing tricks back then, and even after advancing to the Yuan Ying stage, you still haven't gotten rid of this stinky habit. Yeah, how can a dog change its nature of eating feces?"
Ji Ziyu and Dong Wuchang's relationship is just like Ji Rufeng and Dong Zhitao, they have been fighting for over a hundred years, neither of them can gain the upper hand, but whenever they meet, they will not let each other go easily, so Ji Ziyu speaks with extreme sarcasm to mock his opponent.
"Alright, alright, old ghost, you're itching for a fight, are you? Well, I'll give you a good scratch then." Dong Wujing's pent-up anger had nowhere to vent, and now that his arch-nemesis had appeared, with comparable cultivation, he could finally have a fierce battle.
"Alright, I'd like to see if your skills have regressed or your realm has decreased over the years. Don't get beaten to tears, no one will comfort you then." What Ji Ziyu said had a story behind it. Back when they were both young children just starting to practice cultivation, they met and Ji Ziyu, with his robust physique, gave the shorter Dong Wujing a good thrashing.
Dong Wujing burst into tears and couldn't stop, this matter was remembered by both of them, every time they met, Ji Ziyu would bring it up to humiliate Dong Wujing.
In front of a crowd of younger generations and the many cultivators of Red Sparrow Castle, Dong Wujing couldn't take this lying down. He gathered all his spiritual energy and flew into the air.
"Ji Ziyu, today you dare to fight me, one of us will not leave until the other is dead." Dong Wuchang stood in mid-air, issuing a challenge to Ji Ziyu.
Ji Ziyu was well-prepared and naturally would not be afraid of Dong Wujing, so he immediately flew up into the high sky.
A battle of this level cannot be conducted on the ground, this is not a wilderness or a high mountain, this is Chi Wu Castle, where there are many monks, dense buildings, and cannot withstand a battle of this level.
The battle between the two Yuan Ying period masters instantly attracted countless cultivators to watch, and everyone looked up at the high sky. The two family elders were fighting fiercely, a rare sight that would not be seen for many years.
Ji family and Dong family are both the largest forces in Red Sparrow City, and they also have a tacit understanding. Generally speaking, there won't be such a high-level battle. Sometimes, conflicts between their children can be resolved without violence, but at most, it is limited to the foundation-building period.
Top masters in the Golden Elixir period will all yield to each other a bit, trying not to conflict with each other. As for top masters in the Embryonic Breath period, everyone is pursuing an even higher state, where do they have the heart and time to fight?
Two infant-stage masters clashed, with intense collisions echoing through the air, almost shattering the sky. It was clear that both were going all out, wanting to defeat their opponent in front of everyone, not only for the honor of their families but also for their own supreme glory.
Ye Feng also observed the battle between the two sides. Ye Feng's current achievements were not solely due to chance encounters and spiritual medicine, but rather his exceptional ability to summarize and learn from others' battles, often gaining useful insights that he would apply in future battles against his enemies.
"Hiss!" A gentle breeze blew by.
"Bang!" A loud crash.
"Despicable and shameless, even a master of the Yuan Ying period would resort to sneak attacks? You really have no face!" Tang Jing Tian cursed loudly. Although he seemed to be paying attention to the battle in the air, his greatest attention was actually on guarding against another Yuan Ying period master from the Dong family, Dong Wu Shuang.
As a loyal subordinate, Tang Jing Tian can be said to have done his best, always keeping Ye Feng's safety in mind. He sensed that there was something unusual on the opposite side and immediately took action to intercept, resolving Dong Wu Shuang's attack.
Ye Feng didn't relax his vigilance against Dong Wushuang either, and in the instant that Dong Wushuang made her move, Ye Feng used his agile and unpredictable footsteps to slip out of Dong Wushuang's attack range.
"Little one, today you will be staying in Red Sparrow City." Dong Wusuo's eyes were fixed on Ye Feng, he didn't consider Tang Jing Tian as an opponent. As a Yuan Ying period cultivator, his realm was already stable, while Tang Jing Tian had only recently advanced to the Yuan Ying period and was still inferior to him in terms of realm.
However, the sneak attack failed and the opportunity was missed. To take down Ye Feng, he must first deal with this Yuan Ying period expert in front of him. Dong Wushuang gathered the spiritual energy in his body and prepared to have a great battle with Tang Jing Tian before dealing with Ye Feng.
"Haha, Dong Wushuang, since you're itching for it, why don't we get a little closer?" As soon as the words left his lips, a figure appeared before everyone.
"It's you, Ji Zicheng!" Dong Wushuang saw that another Yuan Ying period expert had come to the Ji family, and suddenly felt that today's affairs were a bit strange. Even if Ji Ruhai, the young master of the Ji family, was a good friend of Ye Feng, it was impossible for him to mobilize two Yuan Ying period experts for Ye Feng.
Is there some kind of conspiracy behind this?
Before Dong Wushuang could figure out the problem, Ji Zicheng was already standing in mid-air, issuing a challenge to him. "Dong Wushuang, dare you fight me? If you're afraid of death, then hurry up and tuck your tail between your legs and roll back to the Dong family. Never let me see you again."
Ji Zicheng arrived with an order, which must be settled today with Dong Wushuang. Of course, he didn't know who his opponent would be before coming, but the master gave a death order: no matter who the opponent is, as long as there's a corpse!
Dong Wushuang's arrow was drawn on the bowstring and could not be shot, so he leaped into the air and faced Ji Zicheng from a distance, with swords drawn and bows taut, the great battle was about to begin.
