The Beast Arena in Lanjiang City doesn't belong to any single power. Instead, it's under the control of a powerful, mysterious organization, which is why even the former City Lord of Lanjiang City wouldn't dare offend them.

We're here!

As soon as Qin Shaofeng saw the massive, circular building in the distance, his eyes lit up slightly. But at that very moment, a voice with a peculiar, mocking tone suddenly rang out.

"Well, well, isn't this the number one genius of our Lanjiang City, Eldest Young Master Qin?"

The voice came so suddenly, and yet it was so familiar.

Zhang Lingyun!

His younger brother?

Without turning around, Qin Shaofeng already knew who it was.

His heart grew cold, a glint of icy light flashing 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!

Qin Shaofeng's attitude had clearly enraged Zhang Lingyun completely. However, upon seeing the two guards by Qin Shaofeng's side, he stopped in his tracks, not daring to step forward.

He naturally recognized the two guards accompanying Qin Shaofeng. They were men who served the Qin family patriarch. Although not Xiantian Martial Masters, they were both peak Houtian Realm cultivators at the tenth level.

It seems that after that incident, that old geezer from the Qin family has become cautious!

"Those Wu brothers, Ah Da and Ah Er, really botched the job. They didn't manage to kill this brat!"

Muttering softly, Zhang Lingyun let out a cold laugh, a hint of disdain in his heart.

"Hmph, so what if he's not dead? Qin Shaofeng is already a good-for-nothing now. My Zhang Family doesn't need to pay attention to a cripple anymore."

"My father said that the Wu brothers have disappeared without a trace, and some of our Zhang Family's hidden businesses have suffered unexpected blows, incurring significant losses. It seems the plot to harm that cripple was exposed, and he told me not to provoke Qin Shaofeng recently. He even forbade my elder brother from leaving the house."

"Honestly, it's ridiculous! As long as my elder brother wins the competition, this Lanjiang City will be ours, the Zhang Family's. What is a mere Qin Family compared to us? Do I need to fear Qin Shaofeng, this cripple?"

Although these were Zhang Lingyun's thoughts, they were his father's orders, and he couldn't disobey them. In the end, he could only endure.

However, thinking about Qin Shaofeng's attitude towards him just now, a knot remained in his heart.

After some thought, Zhang Lingyun's eyes lit up slightly. A cold smile spread across his face, and he followed Qin Shaofeng into the Beast Arena.

"Well, well, what a pleasant surprise today! A rare guest like Eldest Young Master Qin has graced my Beast Arena!"

As Qin Shaofeng stepped through the entrance of the Beast Arena, a middle-aged man in his thirties greeted him.

This middle-aged man was Steward Fang of the Beast Arena. Although Steward Fang appeared ordinary and unremarkable, Qin Shaofeng knew that he was a master at the Houtian Peak.

Qin Shaofeng naturally wouldn't be rash with someone like him.

Smiling slightly, Qin Shaofeng replied, "I've been a bit bored lately, so I came to stroll around Steward Fang's place!"

"Stroll? I think Eldest Young Master Qin has developed a new hobby recently, which is why he's here at the Beast Arena, isn't it?"

A voice laced with sarcasm cut in. Zhang Lingyun had also entered the Beast Arena.

"Steward Fang, you have no idea. Our Eldest Young Master Qin has recently developed a hobby of slaughtering low-level Demonic Beasts! The sight of him unleashing his might upon those barely low-level, first or second-tier beasts is truly spectacular!"

Before Qin Shaofeng could respond, Zhang Lingyun, who had walked over, added another sarcastic jab.

Zhang Lingyun's words made Qin Shaofeng frown.

He had only killed those low-level beasts this morning. At most, an hour had passed since then. Besides Qin Dabao, very few people should have known about it.

Yet, Zhang Lingyun's words now clearly indicated he was aware.

It seems the Zhang Family has planted quite a few spies in my Qin Manor!

A faint smile touched Qin Shaofeng's lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Steward Fang was well aware of the relationship between the Qin and Zhang families in Lanjiang City. Therefore, he didn't react to Zhang Lingyun's words, merely acknowledging him as Second Young Master Zhang, thus greeting him.
