Chapter 32

Jiang Feng stood in his place, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

It was now the afternoon, the sunlight was bright, and the road was clearly visible. He wasn't blind, so how could he not see the person on the other side?

He suddenly felt that perhaps he had disappeared from everyone else's world.

He subconsciously walked to the water's edge, looked down, and saw his face wavering on the surface. Although it was a bit blurry, it was still clearly visible.

Jiang Feng became even more puzzled. After a moment of thought, he gritted his teeth, no longer hiding his figure, and strode out.

Sure enough, along the way, he encountered some guards or maids. They occasionally conversed with each other, but when they passed by him, they never looked back, as if he didn't exist at all.

Once, he even caught a koi fish from the lake right in front of a guard. The expensive golden koi fish struggled in his hand and, once released, splashed back into the lake, diving under the lotus leaves—yet the guard didn't even glance at him, as if he were both blind and deaf.

This bizarre situation made Jiang Feng feel a bit uneasy.

He no longer lingered and chose a direction to leave, eager to get out of there.

The more he walked, the more amazed he became.

This garden had winding paths leading to secluded spots, with a new scene at every step, clearly designed by a master and meticulously maintained.

Most importantly, there were countless rare flowers and plants that did not belong to Taowu Mountain. Jiang Feng had only seen them in books before. They thrived in this garden, blooming and bearing fruit out of season.

Just the transplanting and maintenance alone were worth a fortune!

This mysterious garden near Chaixi Peak could be said to have the word "money" written in every corner.

Jiang Feng didn't see the owner of the garden, only some servants and maids moving around, and guards patrolling in an orderly manner.

Was this luxurious estate real, or just an illusion? And what was going on with the people inside?

Jiang Feng finally found a way out, passing through two large residences and reaching the garden's entrance.

Seeing the red gate ahead, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He could finally leave this bizarre place!

The garden was well-guarded, but the main gate had no defenses, which was strange.

Jiang Feng muttered to himself, just as he took a step, a sharp voice called out: "Jiang Feng, you're really here!"

Jiang Feng looked up, his face darkening.

A group of people approached, led by a tall and robust man with a mustache and a bright gaze. The man beside him was slightly younger, with a yellowish complexion and no beard.

There were six more people with them, all young members of the Jiang family. The one who had just called out was wrapped in white bandages, but Jiang Feng recognized the voice as Jiang Huaixiao's.

The situation in this estate was too strange. Everyone ignored Jiang Feng, which distracted him. He was so focused on leaving that he had momentarily forgotten about the pursuers. And coincidentally, he ran into them right at the entrance!

This was not good...

The young man with the yellowish complexion seemed to be surnamed Li, and the one next to him was probably their hired instructor.

No, that's not right.

Jiang Feng calmly looked around.

The young members of the Jiang family present had indeed fused with the Mingxin Seed, but they weren't the best of the Jiang family, in other words, not the ones Jiang Tengqing had high hopes for.

So, the man surnamed Li and the small-mustached man were probably brought by the instructor. The instructor was responsible for the key few, and the rest were left to his disciples as a supplement.

Jiang Huaixiao's scream made Li Feng immediately size up Jiang Feng, pointing at him and saying, "Senior Brother, it's this kid!"

The small-mustached man didn't look at Jiang Feng but cautiously looked deeper into the estate, asking in a low voice, "What is this place, do you know?"

The young members of the Jiang family all shook their heads, curiously looking around. They had lived in this area all their lives but had never known there was an estate here!

Jiang Huaixiao, burned to the point of peeling skin, relied on a bottle of medicine from Li Feng to reduce his pain and heal slightly, allowing him to move. His entire body still felt like it was on fire, but it was the extreme anger and hatred for Jiang Feng that allowed him to stand there.

He gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, then stopped, and screeched, "Jiang Feng is right there, kill him quickly!"

The small-mustached man was still hesitant, and Jiang Huaixiao shouted, "What are you afraid of! This is Taowu Mountain, where else are there powerful figures besides the Jiang family! Whatever happens, my father will take care of it, hurry up, go, kill him!"

Li Feng whispered, "Yes, we heard before we came that although the Jiang family has declined, they still have a strong presence in this area..."

The hatred for Jiang Feng made Jiang Huaixiao's mind work better than usual. He pointed at Jiang Feng and shouted, "And this kid has been eating the Jiang family's food since he was young, later becoming Jiang Chen's lover, and has never traveled far! He's just a good-for-nothing who relies on others, and he can come and go freely here without anyone stopping him. What do you, the disciples of the Li family, have to fear?!"

He stood at the entrance, shouting loudly, and without realizing it, he had convinced himself, completely forgetting how he had been burned. He took two more steps forward, and suddenly, a person flashed in front of him, and a hand grabbed his neck, throwing him heavily into the estate's gate!

Jiang Feng, holding his neck, pressed him to the ground, and said coldly, "Those who insult the young miss should die!"

Jiang Huaixiao, who always bullied the weak and feared the strong, saw Jiang Feng as the easiest to bully. He couldn't even catch his breath but still dared to shout, "I'll curse, what can you do? Jiang Chen, that cheap woman, deserves to be ridden by a thousand men..."

Before he could finish, there was a crack, and Jiang Huaixiao's head tilted to one side, and he instantly died.

Jiang Feng's hand exerted force, and he actually snapped his neck!

"Jiang Feng, you dare!"

Who among the young members of the Jiang family didn't know Jiang Feng? At least half of them had beaten him up with Jiang Huaixiao.

They were already very surprised to hear that the person they were chasing was Jiang Feng. They never expected that Jiang Feng would dare to kill Jiang Huaixiao, the son of the clan leader, right in front of them!

Jiang Feng stood up, looking at them coldly. It was his first time killing someone, and his fingers were still trembling slightly, but his eyes were like ice, exuding a killing aura.

He said slowly, "Those who insult the young miss should die!"

Under his gaze, the young members of the Jiang family all involuntarily took a step back.

They quickly regained their senses and screamed one after another, "Jiang Feng killed Young Master Huaixiao! Catch him quickly!"

The small-mustached man and Li Feng exchanged a glance and simultaneously rushed forward!

Although Jiang Huaixiao's death was not a great loss, as the young men shouted, he was the son of the Jiang clan leader. They had to act to catch the killer and hand him over to Jiang Tengqing for punishment.

Jiang Feng gave them a cold look, turned, and ran, retreating into the estate.

The small-mustached man and Li Feng were both beyond the Dawn Realm, far more powerful than Jiang Feng.

As soon as they moved, they were as swift as lightning, almost instantly crossing the estate's gate and chasing after Jiang Feng.

In this short time, Jiang Feng's hands had stopped trembling, but his heart was slightly heavy.

Behind him were two Dawn Realm experts, and he wasn't a match for even one of them, let alone both.

However, he suddenly turned around.

Since he couldn't escape, he wouldn't run! Even if he died, he would take a bite out of them!

As soon as he turned, something strange happened.

"Bang, bang" two sounds, the small-mustached man and Li Feng, as soon as they entered the gate, were thrown back as if they had hit an invisible wall, landing heavily on the ground!

The impact was severe, and both of them spat blood, struggling for a while before getting up.

The small-mustached man's eyes were full of shock, and he trembled, "Who? Who!"

A shadow in the gate slowly revealed a person, an old man.

He was of medium height, with an ordinary face, simple clothing, and neatly combed gray hair. His steps were measured, and there was nothing special about him. But as he walked out, no one could take their eyes off him.

As soon as he appeared, two green-robed guards stepped back. They were the ones who had just thrown the two men out.

The old man's gaze swept around, and he bowed, saying, "Please forgive us, this is the private garden of the Zhou family. Without the owner's permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Only then did everyone realize that this old man was just the steward of this private garden—a servant, yet he had such an aura!

The Zhou family's private garden? Which Zhou family?

As if they had thought of something, the small-mustached man and Li Feng's faces changed simultaneously.

At this moment, Jiang Feng was still standing inside the gate, with a very strange expression.

He was clearly an "outsider" and had entered the estate earlier and deeper than they had, but no one had paid attention to him.

Even now, after the two Dawn Realm cultivators were injured and thrown out, he was still standing there, ignored!

He couldn't help but take a few steps to the side and waved in front of the green-robed guards, but they didn't even blink.

A young member of the Jiang family immediately shouted, "This kid is also an outsider, why don't you do anything about him?"

The old man turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Feng, and asked indifferently, "Oh? Is there someone here?"

The green-robed guard said solemnly, "Apart from these intruders, there is no one else."

The old man nodded, his gaze suddenly falling on something, and his brows furrowed. He said calmly, "These people have intruded into the Zhou family's private garden and damaged property. According to the Zhou family's rules, how should they be dealt with?"

The green-robed guard answered without hesitation, "Intruders must die!"

The old man nodded again and waved his hand lightly, "Then deal with them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the young members of the Jiang family were all incredulous, while the small-mustached man and Li Feng's faces turned pale.

The small-mustached man, holding his chest, struggled to sit up, "Sir, I am a disciple of Li..."

Before he could finish, a head spun high into the air, followed by a spray of blood.

Li Feng, shocked, took two steps back, screaming, "I am a disciple of Li Ming, you can't..."

Another head flew up, and a jet of blood spurted out.

At this moment, the young members of the Jiang family finally realized what was happening and screamed, turning to run.

Their screams barely formed in their throats before they were cut off. Moments later, all the young men were on the ground, their heads separated from their bodies!

In an instant, all seven people were dead, not a single one left!

————————————————————

I suddenly realized it's already 100,000 words. (⊙_⊙)

I feel a bit down.

I'm still in the top 40 of the new book list, but I can't seem to move up.

I know many of you are waiting for the story to grow before reading, but the new book period is very important. If I can't get higher on the new book list, it will affect the future.

Feeling down and positive can bring very different emotions, so I hope you all support me, and we can work together to move forward!
