Lanjiang City's Beast Arena did not belong to any family. It belonged to a powerful, mysterious faction, so even the former City Lord of Lanjiang City had never dared offend it.
Here!
When Qin Shaofeng spotted the enormous circular building in the distance, his eyes lit up. But just then, a voice with a strangely mocking lilt rang out.
"Well, well! If it isn't our Lanjiang City's number-one genius, Eldest Young Master Qin!"
The voice came so suddenly, and sounded so familiar.
Zhang Lingyun!
His younger brother?
Without turning around, Qin Shaofeng already knew whose voice it was.
A chill settled in his heart, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. But in the end, Qin Shaofeng didn't stop; he walked straight into the Beast Arena.
He's ignoring me?
That bastard!
Zhang Lingyun was clearly furious at Qin Shaofeng's attitude. But when he saw the two guards beside him, he stopped in his tracks, not daring to approach.
He recognized the two guards at Qin Shaofeng's side. They were men who served the old master of the Qin Family. Though they weren't Xiantian Martial Masters, they were still peak tenth-stage Houtian Realm martial artists.
Looks like that incident made the old Qin family dog cautious!
"Those two Wu brothers, A-Da and A-Er, were utterly useless. They couldn't even finish off that brat!"
After muttering to himself, Zhang Lingyun sneered coldly, his heart full of disdain.
"Hmph, so what if he's still alive? Qin Shaofeng is nothing but a cripple now. There's no reason for the Zhang Family to pay any more attention to a cripple."
"Father even said that the Wu brothers have vanished, and some of the Zhang Family's businesses in the shadows have taken mysterious hits and suffered heavy losses. Apparently, the plot to kill that cripple was exposed, so he told me not to provoke Qin Shaofeng for a while. He even forbade Big Brother from going out."
"If you ask me, it's ridiculous! As long as Big Brother wins the tournament, Lanjiang City will belong to the Zhang Family. What does a mere Qin Family amount to? Why should I fear a cripple like Qin Shaofeng?"
Though Zhang Lingyun thought this way, the order had come from his father, and it wasn't something he could disobey. In the end, he could only swallow his anger.
Still, Qin Shaofeng's attitude toward him just now left a thorn in his heart.
After thinking it over, Zhang Lingyun's eyes suddenly brightened. He smiled coldly, then followed Qin Shaofeng into the Beast Arena.
"Well, well! What a fine day it is! Even a rare guest like Eldest Young Master Qin has come to my Beast Arena!"
As soon as Qin Shaofeng walked through the Beast Arena's entrance, a middle-aged man in his thirties came over to greet him.
The man was Steward Fang of the Beast Arena. He looked plain and unremarkable, but Qin Shaofeng knew he was a peak Houtian Realm expert.
Qin Shaofeng naturally wouldn't act recklessly around someone like him.
With a slight smile, he said, "I've been a little bored lately, so I thought I'd come by and wander around your place, Steward Fang."
"Wander around? I'd say Eldest Young Master Qin's picked up a new hobby lately, and that's why he came to the Beast Arena."
A voice edged with mockery rang out as Zhang Lingyun walked into the Beast Arena.
"Steward Fang, you may not know this, but our Eldest Young Master Qin has recently developed a taste for slaughtering low-level demonic beasts! The way he shows off against livestock that can barely be called first- or second-tier low-level beasts is quite a spectacle!"
Before Qin Shaofeng could respond, Zhang Lingyun came over and taunted him again, looking rather pleased with himself.
Zhang Lingyun's words made Qin Shaofeng frown.
He'd killed those low-level livestock demonic beasts that very morning. At most, an hour had passed, and aside from Qin Dabao, hardly anyone should have known.
Yet Zhang Lingyun had already heard about it.
Looks like the Zhang Family had planted plenty of spies in Qin Manor!
A faint smile crossed Qin Shaofeng's lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Steward Fang knew quite a bit about the relationship between the Qin Family and Zhang Family of Lanjiang City. So, he made no comment in response to Zhang Lingyun's words. He merely addressed him as Second Young Master Zhang, acknowledging him with a greeting.
