Chapter 629: Chapter 628 My Friend
"You bastard, not only did you steal my boyfriend, but you also dare to bully my sister! You’re asking for death!"
Yang Qianqian’s elder sister cursed loudly and suddenly pulled out a short dagger from her bosom.
This dagger was made from a rare material, its blade engraved with various runes and emanating a piercing aura.
Though the dagger wasn’t a Spiritual Artifact, it had reached the level of a magical treasure.
"Be careful, that dagger is the Yang Family’s ancestral treasure and is very powerful!" Chen Feng warned.
"Oh? Ancestral treasure, huh?"
Liu Zheng sneered and with a wave of his right hand, a powerful force swept out, knocking the dagger flying.
"Pfft~~!"
"Pfft!"
After the dagger flew out, it stuck into the ground, piercing it and creating a dull sound.
"How is this possible? How can the power of this dagger be so great!?"
Even with the dagger tip one meter above the ground, it was blown away by Liu Zheng’s palm, and Yang Qianqian’s elder sister was shocked.
Liu Zheng’s strength had far surpassed hers; she wasn’t even able to compete against him.
Not to mention Yang Qianqian.
"Little girl, since you like killing so much, I’ll grant your wish and let you taste the flavor of killing someone."
With a sinister laugh, Liu Zheng walked over to Yang Qianqian, his eyes flashing with a brutal glint, and he kicked her in the abdomen.
"Ah!!!"
Yang Qianqian screamed.
"Haha! Little girl, did you really think you were some precious lady? You’re not even as strong as a dog!"
"Scared now? It’s too late!"
"Slap~!"
Liu Zheng slapped Yang Qianqian’s cheek again.
"Ah!!!!"
Yang Qianqian let out a miserable scream.
Liu Zheng’s power was too terrifying; with one slap, Yang Qianqian only felt a burning pain in her cheek.
"Hmph, this is just the beginning."
Liu Zheng laughed sinisterly.
Yang Qianqian’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at Liu Zheng with resentment and hate.
"What are you doing?!"
Suddenly, a strong female voice came through.
A girl around twenty years old, riding a tall horse, approached from the distance.
"Yang Yuhuan!" Liu Zheng frowned, his least favorite people were those from the Yang Family.
"So it’s Master Liu, what brings you to our Yang Family?" Yang Yuhuan looked coldly at Liu Zheng.
"Nothing much, just wanted to take Qian Qian away from here, that’s all," Liu Zheng said with a cold smile.
"Miss Yang, do you know how much Qian Qian has suffered at school? Now that she’s with me, you can rest assured! I’ll take good care of her," Liu Zheng coldly laughed.
"Take care of her? I think it’s more like protecting her! Hmph! Our Yang Family doesn’t welcome you, please leave!" Yang Yuhuan said coldly.
"You Yang Family not welcoming me is no problem, I was never interested in your Yang Family anyway!" Liu Zheng shrugged, turned to leave, then suddenly stopped, turned his head to stare at Yang Qianqian’s elder sister, and said, "Little girl, you better remember my words, or you’ll be in for it!"
Yang Yuhuan looked at Yang Qianqian’s elder sister.
Yang Qianqian’s elder sister was shaking all over with fear.
Liu Zheng’s strength within the Yang Family was very formidable; even the young lady of the Yang Family wasn’t in his eyes, let alone her.
She knew Liu Zheng wasn’t joking, as she had felt the killing intent in his eyes.
"Little girl, you’re also from the Yang Family, right? You better hurry up and get out of our Yang Family’s territory, or neither of you sisters will survive!" Liu Zheng said coldly as he glanced at them one last time and then turned and left.
"Hmph! Little girl, you’re also from the Yang Family, right? You better hurry up and get out of our Yang Family’s territory, or neither of you sisters will survive!" Liu Zheng said coldly as he glanced at them one last time and then turned and left.
Once Liu Zheng had gone, Yang Qianqian’s elder sister collapsed on the ground.
"Sis! Are you okay?"
"I’m fine, just scared. I’m going to ask the family patriarch for help right now!" Yang Qianqian’s elder sister got up hurriedly and ran towards the family residence.
When Yang Qianqian’s elder sister reached the family residence, she reported the news of Yang Qianqian being beaten to the family patriarch.
Yang Yuhuan’s grandfather, Yang Wanyun, was greatly alarmed upon hearing the news.
This was a matter of life and death for the Yang Family, and no mistakes could be allowed.
"Quick, go and summon my master! His cultivation is even higher than the patriarch’s; he might be able to solve this issue," Yang Yuhuan’s elder sister said.
"Hmm."
Yang Qianqian’s elder sister rushed toward the family’s back mountain.
Yang Qianqian’s grandfather, Yang Wanyun, had already received the news, and he was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the room.
A moment later, an elder with the bearing of an immortal and flowing white beard, dressed in a robe of blue, appeared outside the door.
"I pay my respects to Master!"
Yang Yuhuan’s elder sister knelt to the ground.
"Rise."
The elder walked slowly into the room, approached Yang Qianqian’s bedside, and examined her carefully, a slight frown creasing his brow.
"How is it? Master, is Qianqian’s condition serious? Can you save her?" Yang Wanyun asked anxiously.
"It’s nothing serious, but this matter...we must think in the long term..." the elder spoke at length.
In the end, he made a decision.
"Master, what should we do?"
"Don’t panic, you all return to the clan and wait for my message. Whatever decision I make, I do not wish to see the Yang Family suffer any more losses," said the elder.
"Yes, Master!"
Yang Wanyun nodded, turned, and left the room with Yang Qianqian’s elder sister.
"Ah, this matter is indeed troublesome," the elder sighed and muttered to himself.
...
Meanwhile.
Liu Zheng led his people out of the city’s western district and out of Nanyang City.
"Sigh~~"
Upon reaching the top of a hill in the suburbs, Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
"Brother Liu, you were quite ruthless this time," said Chen Haoxuan indifferently.
"I didn’t want to, but that woman was so disrespectful, she forced me to teach her a lesson," Liu Zheng showed a sullen face, clearly distressed.
Chen Haoxuan cracked a faint smile: "That woman is not someone you should provoke. You’d better leave Nanyang City soon."
"Alas!"
Liu Zheng shook his head and sighed.
He was already less powerful than Yang Qianqian, and for a long time, he had been badly treated by her. If it weren’t for his master’s presence, he would have been crippled by her long ago.
"You guys go back first; I need to meet an old friend," Liu Zheng said.
Chen Haoxuan and Wang Dazhuang exchanged glances, then nodded.
"Alright, Brother Liu, take care of yourself."
Wang Dazhuang advised.
"Sure."
Liu Zheng nodded with a smile.
Chen Haoxuan and Wang Dazhuang turned and sprinted into the distance.
...
On the east side of Nanyang City, within a dilapidated courtyard.
A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a bed, his eyes closed and a slightly pale complexion.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and another middle-aged man walked in.
"Liu Zheng, how did it go? Did that wretched girl from the Yang Family come looking for revenge?" the middle-aged man opened his eyes, filled with a venomous expression.
"Heh, what if she did? What can they do to me?" Liu Zheng sneered.
"Liu Zheng, even though your cultivation is higher than mine, don’t forget who stands behind me," the middle-aged man said.
"Hmph! Of course, I know it’s your Chen Family," Liu Zheng said with a scornful laugh.
The middle-aged man’s face instantly clouded darkly.
"Don’t forget, Liu Zheng, it was thanks to me that you were able to join the Chen Family in the first place," the man said.
Liu Zheng snorted coldly, "If it weren’t for your Chen Family meddling back then, I wouldn’t have ended up like a dog under the Chen old ghost, a dog whose leg was even broken. And you still dare to speak of back then?"
The middle-aged man clenched his teeth in anger.
If it hadn’t been for the Chen Family’s help, he wouldn’t have been forced to join the Chen Family, much less allow Chen Haoxuan to snatch the resources of the Yang Family, nearly causing his daughter’s death.
"Hmph! At least you know your place," the middle-aged man sneered. "But now you are of no use to me. I suggest you obediently hand over what I need, or I don’t mind getting my hands dirty."
Liu Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you really dare to strike at me?"
The middle-aged man looked coldly at Liu Zheng, saying, "Of course I wouldn’t dare, after all, we both share the Yang surname. But if you remain obstinate, I won’t hesitate to let our Yang Family be destroyed."
Liu Zheng’s expression froze.
