Boom— The moment it was confirmed to be Xiao Yu, a boundless oppressive might immediately surged out from the warship, sealing off the area around Xiao Yu.
Right after, the Gongsun Family's forces surged out of the warship in massive numbers, surrounding Xiao Yu completely.
"Xiao Yu, you actually dare show your face?"
"Where is Chu Feng? Where is that Chu Feng?!"
"If you don't tell us where Chu Feng is, we will make you wish you were dead!"
The Gongsun Family members didn't attack Xiao Yu directly. Instead, they threatened her viciously. Though it wasn't merely a threat—if Xiao Yu failed to give them a satisfactory answer, they would absolutely follow through on their words.
"Heh…"
Yet in the face of the Gongsun Family's threats, not a trace of fear appeared on Xiao Yu's face. She wasn't afraid at all. In fact, the corner of her lips curved upward into a smile.
That smile was one of sheer contempt.
"How would I know where Chu Feng is?"
"Rather than worrying about Chu Feng, you'd do better to worry about yourselves."
Xiao Yu's words actually carried a hint of a threat.
"Tell me—where is Chu Feng?!!!"
At that moment, a figure stepped out from within the warchariot.
It was the Gongsun Family's Clan Master.
Although the Gongsun Family's Clan Master had long since awakened, he now appeared extremely frail. His visage seemed to have aged by several more decades.
After stepping out of the warchariot, he reached out with his hand and grabbed. Instantly, a tremendous suction force surged forth like a reversing hurricane, hurtling toward Xiao Yu, intending to pull her into his grasp.
His expression was fierce and savage. Should Xiao Yu truly fall into his hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, a bizarre scene unfolded. The overwhelming suction force simply vanished upon approaching Xiao Yu.
As though swallowed by the air itself.
It was completely unable to get near her.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing this, the Gongsun Family realized something was wrong.
Even the Gongsun Family's Clan Master furrowed his brow, sensing that something was amiss.
Xiao Yu's sudden appearance and obstruction of their path had already been suspicious. But consumed by their hatred for Chu Feng and believing Xiao Yu might merely be bluffing, the Gongsun Family had acted anyway.
Yet now that things had come to this, even the densest among the Gongsun Family could tell that Xiao Yu had come fully prepared.
"The Gongsun Family sure talks big, doesn't it?"
Just as the Gongsun Family was growing uneasy, the space beside Xiao Yu rippled, and a withered, ancient figure appeared at her side.
The moment the Gongsun Family members saw this individual, their hearts sank. Their faces drained of color in an instant.
"Greetings, My Lord!!!"
In the next moment, every member of the Gongsun Family present dropped to their knees in unison, performing a full prostration.
Even the Gongsun Family's Clan Master was no exception.
All of them wore expressions of panic, looking as though doomsday itself was about to descend.
"Heh…"
Yet the elder standing beside Xiao Yu merely let out a cold sneer in response to the Gongsun Family's display of deference and fear.
Boom— Immediately after, the void trembled, and a vast, murderous intent swept outward, engulfing every member of the Gongsun Family in an instant.
"My Lord, spare us!"
"We had no idea that My Lord was acquainted with this young hero!"
"Even if you gave us a hundred times the courage, we would never have dared show disrespect to this young friend!"
The Gongsun Family members, feeling that heaven-spanning killing intent press down upon them, didn't even dare to flee. Instead, they all began begging for mercy.
It wasn't that they didn't want to run. They understood this lord's strength all too well—they had no chance of escape whatsoever.
Begging for mercy was their only hope of survival.
"Heh…"
"Even if I were to let you go, others wouldn't do the same, not after you secretly hoarded the Summoning Spirit Jade."
"The Gongsun Family—accept your fate. This is the price of your greed."
() The elder said.
"My Lord, please let me explain. There must be some misunderstanding regarding this young hero. My Gongsun Family..."
