Chapter 75: Struggle

Upon hearing this, Du Zhen Tian smiled faintly and said, "No matter what changes have occurred in the Xuan You Secret Realm, it seems to be a good thing. After all, the Xuan You Secret Realm is rich in medicinal herbs and has a large number of beast monsters. In the past, due to the outer layer's protection, no one in the city could enter to exploit the resources. From now on, we can probably change this situation."

"Hehe, Lord Du is indeed far-sighted!" Bai An patted his hands, his gaze sweeping the scene with a rather peculiar look before he said calmly, "Although I don't know how much Lord Du knows about this matter, I, Bai An, dislike pretense the most. So, I'll speak plainly!"

"The changes discovered in the Xuan You Secret Realm are certainly because the Xuan You Sect's legacy already has an owner! However... no matter who this owner is, with so many people here today, he can't possibly keep all the benefits to himself, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a cacophony of voices erupted around them.

"Exactly! The Xuan You Sect's legacy belongs to all of us!"

"Exactly! The secret manuals in the legacy should be made public, and everyone should be able to cultivate them!"

"Exactly! Exactly! How can we let him off so easily after robbing us of such a good place as the Xuan You Secret Realm!"

Hearing the noisy voices around him, Du Fei slightly curled his lips. He was very clear that most of the people present probably knew that the Xuan You Sect's legacy had already been taken away by that mysterious black-clothed person... and their current plan was probably the scroll in his hand, right?

Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but sneer. It wouldn't be that easy to target him!

Smiling, he listened to the cacophony of voices around him. After a moment, Du Zhen Tian coughed and said calmly, "Lord Bai is right! No matter who obtained the Xuan You Sect's legacy, today, they must hand it over! For everyone to share! If they don't hand it over, then they will be the public enemy of our Wu Yue City!"

"Oh?" On the other side, Lu Yi waved his fan and smiled lightly, "It seems Lord Du is indeed a great man. Since Lord Du has spoken, I don't think anyone here will disagree. So, please hand over the item, Young Master Du Fei!"

As the last words fell, Lu Yi's gaze shifted slightly and landed on Du Fei.

Almost all the gazes in the room simultaneously fell on Du Fei.

Feeling the various gazes converge on him, Du Fei didn't take it too seriously. He took a deep breath and, after a moment, smiled lightly, "This is Lord Lu, right? I wonder what you mean by that?"

"Ridiculous!" Before Lu Yi could speak, Du Zhen Tian was already frowning, "Fei'er, Lord Lu is a great person! If he says the Xuan You Sect's legacy is in your hands, then it must be in your hands! Why don't you hand it over? If you don't hand it over, even I can't protect you!"

Hearing this, Du Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is Du Zhen Tian really unaware, or is he pretending to be unaware?

Shaking his head slightly, Du Fei smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping the surroundings and then landing on Ba Han, Zhu Le, Bai Yi, and others who had appeared at some point. After a moment, he said lightly, "I think everyone is mistaken! Although I, Du Fei, did break the seal of the Xuan You Sect on Xuan You Peak, at the critical moment when the item fell into my hands, a mysterious black-clothed person appeared and took it away... This can be attested by Young Master Bai Yi, Brother Ba Han, and Brother Zhu Le!"

Hearing this, everyone's gaze instantly fell on the three of them.

Ba Han sighed, looking helpless. After a moment, he nodded slightly, "That item was also in my hands at one point, but it was ultimately taken by a black-clothed person."

After Ba Han spoke, Bai Yi and Zhu Le exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and could only nod slowly.

After all, this was the truth, and no one could refute it. Even if they denied it, with Ba Han's admission, it would be useless.

"So..." Du Fei smiled faintly, "The Xuan You Sect's legacy fell into the hands of that mysterious black-clothed person... If you want it, go find him. But don't blame me, Du Fei, for not warning you beforehand. That black-clothed person is at least a Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor... If you all go, it might be..."

"Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor!"

Hearing this, many people drew a sharp breath. The heads of the major families exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with apprehension.

Although they didn't know where the person came from, a Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor could easily wipe out everyone present without much trouble.

"Since everyone is clear about this, you should understand that the Xuan You Sect's legacy is not in my hands... So, it has nothing to do with me, right?" Du Fei clapped his hands lightly, smiling faintly.

Hearing this, Lian Ji, Lu Yi, Bai An, and others' faces changed slightly, as if they were hearing this for the first time and were not fully aware of it.

Du Zhen Tian also gave Du Fei a peculiar look and, after a moment, smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, I think everyone should disperse."

"Disperse?" Suddenly, a cold laugh sounded, "Du Fei, don't forget! Although the Xuan You Sect's items were taken by the black-clothed person, he also gave you a scroll before leaving! It's hard to say whether the black-clothed person is in cahoots with your Du family!"

"Are you stupid? Are you an idiot? Do you have no brain at all?" Du Fei glanced at Zhu Le and said faintly, "If the black-clothed person was from my Du family, would I have wasted time with you on the mountain top? I could have just had him slap you all to death!"

"Humph! Maybe he was just pretending! He gave you one scroll to divert our attention so he could leave!" Zhu Le's face changed for a moment before he sneered.

"Ha ha ha... Brother Zhu Le, I won't comment on the rest, but your skill at twisting the truth is quite impressive!" Du Fei smiled faintly, "However, we agreed that the Xuan You Sect's legacy must be handed over. But the item that fell into my hands was a gift from the black-clothed person. No matter how you count it, it doesn't count as part of the Xuan You Sect's legacy, right? What does it have to do with you if I got something? Do you want to say that everything in our Du family's cultivation hall must be shared?"

"You..." Zhu Le's face changed, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth, unable to say anything for a while.

However, in the few exchanges, most people had already figured out the intricacies of the situation.

Lian Ji slowly scanned Du Fei and, after a moment, sneered, "Young Master Du Fei, even if you argue, it doesn't change the fact that the item is from the Xuan You Sect... I advise you to hand it over! Otherwise, Du Zhen Tian won't be able to protect you today!"

"Is that so? Then why don't we decide life and death today?" Du Zhen Tian sneered and said calmly, "I already made it clear that whoever it is, they must hand over the Xuan You Sect's legacy. But the item in Fei'er's hands, as he said, is no longer part of the Xuan You Sect's legacy! Anyone who still targets him is making an enemy of our Du family!"

"Such great arrogance! Such great courage!" Lu Yi said sarcastically, "Lord Du, it seems you consider us all as nothing... Although the Du family is very strong, Lord Du should know that the anger of the masses cannot be divided!"

"Ha ha ha!" Du Zhen Tian laughed, "Lu Yi, I, Du Zhen Tian, have never been threatened by anyone. If you want to make a move, go ahead and try! I want to see how many people are willing to make enemies with our Du family!"

Hearing this, Lu Yi's face changed for a moment, but he said nothing more.

He understood that if he fought the Du family, unless everyone present joined forces, there would be no good outcome.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense and somewhat strange.

"Ha ha... Cousin Du Fei, it seems today's matter is quite troublesome... The item falling into your hands has made our Du family the target of everyone's anger, which is not good. But if you hand it over, it's not clear to whom!" Du Han suddenly smiled lightly, looking friendly, "But I, your cousin, have a way to help you handle this matter easily!"

Du Fei also smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what method my cousin has, but please speak freely!"

Du Han smiled strangely and said slowly, "Since the source of the trouble is that scroll, then destroy the scroll. Once the item is gone, everyone will naturally have fewer worries! What do you think, everyone?"

As he spoke, many people's gazes fell on Du Han, and they rolled their eyes.

How foolish would someone have to be to willingly destroy such an item!

"My dear cousin is truly venomous!" Du Fei narrowed his eyes and sneered inwardly.

If it were someone else, they would certainly not do it. But for himself... Du Han, Du Han! You want to cause me trouble! Why don't you try what it's like to have your own plan backfire!

Sneering inwardly, Du Fei's gaze slowly swept the room. After a moment, in the stunned gazes of many people, he lightly tapped his right wrist, and a purple scroll appeared in his palm.

The moment the scroll appeared, many people's eyes flashed with excitement. After all, this item clearly wasn't something ordinary! If they could get it... Even Du Han's face twitched slightly, and after a moment, his eyes flashed with joy. Du Fei was already highly talented, and if he got this item, it would make him even more formidable, making Du Han uneasy.

But if he lost this item...
