The situation was beyond Qin Shaofeng's expectations. Sensing his grandfather's genuine anger, Qin Shaofeng quickly called out, "Grandpa, this isn't some evil technique! It's a true righteous cultivation method. If you don't believe me, check it yourself!"
Not an evil technique?
Old Master Qin was skeptical, but after repeatedly examining the Inner Qi within Qin Shaofeng's body several times, he finally began to believe him.
It really isn't an evil technique!
Although it was just Inner Qi, Old Master Qin could clearly feel that the Inner Qi within Qin Shaofeng's body was extremely pure, without the slightest trace of malevolence.
This is only natural!
The Yi Jin Jing is a genuine Buddhist cultivation method, created by Old Ancestor Bodhidharma. If it were mistaken for an evil technique, wouldn't that be a huge joke?
Having confirmed that Qin Shaofeng was not cultivating any evil techniques, Old Master Qin was relieved. After a brief conversation with Qin Shaofeng, he let him leave.
However, Old Master Qin also told Qin Shaofeng that he would no longer interfere with him in the future.
Of course, upon hearing Qin Shaofeng say that he was absolutely confident he could handle the City Lord Competition a month later, his grandfather was also overjoyed.
After returning to his room, it wasn't long before Qin Shaofeng heard people from the Beast Arena arrive.
And along with them came over three hundred low-level Demonic Beasts.
One day later, the Qin Manor released news: in three days, the Qin Manor would hold a grand beast banquet, and everyone was welcome to attend and savor the rare delicacy of Demonic Beasts.
For a time, the entire Lanjiang City was abuzz with this news.
But at the same time, a subtle, oppressive aura emanated from the Zhang Family.
In the Zhang Family's main hall, the Patriarch, Zhang Chongshan, was glaring furiously at Zhang Lingyun, scolding him repeatedly.
"Are you an idiot, or just stupid? I told you not to provoke the Qin Family for a while, did you just take my words as wind?"
"And a Beast Arena bet? With such high stakes? Who gave you the guts?"
"Twenty thousand taels! That's twenty thousand taels of gold, not silver, do you understand?"
The Zhang Family's annual income was only around a hundred thousand taels of gold.
Giving away twenty to thirty percent of their annual income, how could he not be heartbroken?
"Father, please don't blame my younger brother. Blame Qin Shaofeng instead!"
Just as Zhang Lingyun was being thoroughly berated by Zhang Chongshan, a young man who bore some resemblance to Zhang Lingyun suddenly spoke up to mediate.
This young man was Zhang Lingyun's elder brother, Zhang Lingtian.
Zhang Lingtian was eighteen years old and one of Lanjiang City's three great geniuses. Although not as formidable as Qin Shaofeng had been previously, he was still quite capable. Now, at eighteen, he was already a Houtian Third Level martial artist.
The one who had personally crippled Qin Shaofeng's Dantian before was this Zhang Lingtian.
Although Zhang Lingtian's face was covered by black cloth at the time, Qin Shaofeng knew it was him.
"Hmph, such a cunning brat. Even as a cripple, he still doesn't let people rest easy. It seems the Qin Family cannot be allowed to remain!" Zhang Chongshan snorted coldly, his face filled with rage.
"However, this is good too!" As if remembering something, Zhang Chongshan turned to Zhang Lingtian and asked, "Have there been any messages from that side?"
"Yes, there have!" Zhang Lingtian nodded, a hint of joy appearing on his face. "They have agreed to our request, and the news will arrive soon."
"Excellent!" Zhang Chongshan nodded with a smile, his expression turning somewhat ferocious. "Even though that little bastard has been crippled, to avoid any future complications, the position of City Lord should be secured sooner rather than later!"
With that, Zhang Chongshan finally let out a pleased laugh.
At this moment, seeing his father's mood, Zhang Lingyun hurriedly spoke, "Father, when the time comes, please let me deal with that little bastard. I will surely get my revenge."
"Alright, I agree. But you'd best not cause any more trouble in the next few days!"
As Zhang Chongshan agreed, Zhang Lingyun's heart leaped with joy, his expression becoming extremely sinister.
Qin Shaofeng, just you wait. You won't live much longer!
Just as the Zhang Family was plotting something, in a backyard of the Qin Manor, Qin Shaofeng was brimming with excitement!
This backyard had been set aside by Old Master Qin and housed the over three hundred Demonic Beasts delivered from the Beast Arena.
This was so Qin Shaofeng would have a place to kill the Demonic Beasts.
Although Old Master Qin no longer doubted the cultivation method Qin Shaofeng was practicing, absorbing the life force of Demonic Beasts still made him feel somewhat uneasy. Moreover, such a situation could not be known to outsiders, so Old Master Qin simply set aside a place for Qin Shaofeng and had it guarded.
This also put Qin Shaofeng at ease, allowing him to slaughter monsters and level up without restraint.
Gazing at the Demonic Beasts in their cages before him, Qin Shaofeng tightened the sharp sword he had obtained from Old Master Qin, his eyes burning with fervor!
