"Since they are honored guests, naturally we cannot be negligent. Without solid evidence, it indeed wouldn't be appropriate to make a huge fuss. But I believe Qiu Ci wouldn't lie." Kong Yuehua looked toward Kong Ruozeng's mother.
"Esteemed elders, this matter is of great importance. Qiu Ci would not dare to lie," said Kong Ruozeng's mother.
"Indeed, we watched Qiu Ci grow up. We all know her character — she would never falsely accuse anyone." The elders trusted Kong Ruozeng's mother's character wholeheartedly.
"So this Chu Feng is indeed a suspect. But since the elders cannot easily intervene, let the younger generation handle it."
"The younger generation is young and ignorant. Even if they cause some trouble, outsiders won't say much." At this, Kong Yuehua turned her gaze toward Kong Ruozeng.
"Supreme Elder, you mean… you want Ruozeng to provoke Chu Feng and force him out?" Kong Ruozeng's father caught on immediately.
"Go. If there are any issues, I will back you up," Kong Yuehua said.
"This junior, Kong Ruozeng, will not disappoint the Supreme Elder's expectations." At that moment, a look of vindication appeared on Kong Ruozeng's face.
When he had gone to trouble Chu Feng before, despite having backing, he had always felt somewhat uneasy deep down.
But this time was different. With Supreme Elder Kong Yuehua personally backing him, Kong Ruozeng could do whatever he wanted — no more holding back.
Once the matter was settled, Kong Yuehua personally ordered the Kong Heavenly Clan experts guarding the palace where Chu Feng and Wang Qiang resided to be withdrawn.
After all, even if they wanted this junior Kong Ruozeng to go cause trouble for Chu Feng, they couldn't be too obvious about it. The experts had to be removed so that outsiders would think Kong Ruozeng was simply seizing an opportunity.
Subsequently, Kong Ruozeng went straight to the palace where Chu Feng was staying. This time he didn't shout from outside — he walked right up and smashed the door.
BOOM—
A punch landed, sending ripples in all directions as iron shards flew everywhere.
Kong Ruozeng had actually used a martial art to shatter the palace's front door.
"Chu Feng, get your ass out here!!!" Kong Ruozeng shouted at the top of his lungs as he strode inside. He already knew where Chu Feng was secluding himself, so his purpose in coming was crystal clear.
"The hell is wrong with you." But at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking Kong Ruozeng's path.
This person was, naturally, Wang Qiang.
"You… you motherfucker, how are you so ill-mannered? Not only are you shouting and screaming, you even broke through the damn door."
"Did that medicine punishment from last time give you an addiction? You want another round?" Wang Qiang glared at Kong Ruozeng with great displeasure.
Although he was also a guest here, this was still his residence. Having someone smash his door like this put him in a very foul mood.
"Hmph. Where's Chu Feng? Tell him to get out. Today… I'm going to challenge him no matter what," Kong Ruozeng said.
"Challenge my brother? You… you think you're worthy?" Wang Qiang looked at Kong Ruozeng with a contemptuous smirk — that grin was so infuriatingly smug that even a bystander would feel rage upon seeing it, let alone Kong Ruozeng.
At that moment, Kong Ruozeng's face flushed crimson with fury. Pointing at Wang Qiang, he snarled: "Get out of my way, or… don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Being ruthless to me? Ohoho, little brat, talking big… aren't you afraid of losing your front teeth?"
"With… with someone like you, your Grandpa Wang can beat you till you're rolling on the ground crying for mama — and I'd only need one hand," Wang Qiang said with a shameless grin.
"You really don't know when to quit." As Kong Ruozeng spoke, he raised his arm, ready to strike at Wang Qiang.
BOOM BOOM BOOM—
But at that moment, waves of thunder suddenly rumbled from the depths of the nine heavens.
The sound was so piercing it shook heaven and earth.
Looking up, deep in the sky, dark clouds churned with flashes of lightning.
Though the dark clouds weren't particularly vast, as they roiled and surged, they resembled an army of ten thousand demons intertwined, galloping across the horizon — creating an oppressively painful sensation, a terror that suffocated.
But the lightning flashing within those dark clouds was the true source of dread.
That lightning was far too terrifying — absolutely not ordinary lightning. It was more like a dragon.
A thunder dragon, with boundless power, capable of splitting heaven and earth, capable of annihilating all living things.
"What is that?"
At that moment, Kong Ruozeng — who had been about to attack — quickly hurried out of the palace to gaze at the sky.
In all his years, he had never witnessed such a sight. It was far too horrifying.
"What's going on?"
In fact, it wasn't just Kong Ruozeng. Even the elders of the Kong Heavenly Clan, and even Kong Shunlian and Kong Moyu — two True Immortal powerhouses guarding the entrance of the Sorrow Calamity Mountain Range — showed uneasy expressions as they gazed at the thunderclouds in the sky.
