The Zhang Family Father and Son

This situation was beyond Qin Shaofeng's expectations. Sensing his grandfather's genuine anger, Qin Shaofeng quickly shouted, "Grandpa, this isn't some evil technique! It's a true orthodox cultivation method. Check it yourself if you don't believe me!"

Not an evil technique?

Old Master Qin was skeptical. However, after repeatedly examining the Inner Qi within Qin Shaofeng's body several times, he finally began to believe it.

It really wasn'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 any trace of malevolence.

This was only natural!

The Yi Jin Jing was a genuine Buddhist orthodox cultivation method, created by Old Ancestor Bodhidharma. If it were mistaken for some evil technique, wouldn't that be a huge joke?

After confirming that Qin Shaofeng wasn't cultivating any evil techniques, Old Master Qin was relieved. After chatting with Qin Shaofeng for a while, he let Qin Shaofeng leave on his own.

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 in handling the City Lord Competition in a month, his elder was also very happy.

After returning to his room, it wasn't long before Qin Shaofeng heard that people from the Beast Arena had arrived.

And accompanying them were over three hundred low-level Demonic Beasts.

A day later, the Qin Family released news that in three days, they would be holding a Grand Beast Feast, and everyone was welcome to attend and savor the rare delicacy of demonic beasts.

In an instant, 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 family head, Zhang Chongshan, was glaring furiously at Zhang Lingyun, scolding him repeatedly.

"Are you an idiot or what? I told you not to provoke the Qin Family for a while, and you just ignored my words?"

"A beast fight? And such a huge stake? 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 in one go, how could he not be heartbroken?

"Father, please don't blame my younger brother. If you want to blame someone, blame Qin Shaofeng!"

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 was before, he was still quite capable. At eighteen, he was already a martial artist at the Third Layer of the Houtian Realm.

The one who personally crippled Qin Shaofeng's Dantian before was none other than Zhang Lingtian.

Although Zhang Lingtian had his face covered by black cloth at the time, Qin Shaofeng knew it was him.

"Hmph, what a cunning brat. Even as a cripple, he still causes trouble. It seems the Qin Family cannot be kept!" Zhang Chongshan snorted coldly, his face filled with fury.

"However, this might be for the best!" As if recalling something, Zhang Chongshan turned to Zhang Lingtian and asked, "Have there been any messages from over there?"

"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 unforeseen complications, it's best to secure the position of City Lord sooner rather than later!"

Saying this, Zhang Chongshan finally let out a pleased laugh.

At this moment, seeing his father's good mood, Zhang Lingyun hurriedly spoke, "Father, when the time comes, please let me deal with that little bastard. I will definitely get my revenge."

"Alright, I agree. But it's best if you don't cause any more trouble these few days!"

As Zhang Chongshan agreed, Zhang Lingyun's heart leaped with joy, and his expression became extremely sinister.

Qin Shaofeng, just you wait. You won't live much longer!

While the Zhang Family was plotting something, in a backyard of the Qin Residence, Qin Shaofeng was brimming with excitement!

This backyard had been set aside by Old Master Qin and contained the over three hundred demonic beasts delivered by the Beast Arena.

This was meant to be a place for Qin Shaofeng to kill demonic beasts.

Although Old Master Qin no longer doubted the cultivation method Qin Shaofeng was practicing, he still felt somewhat uneasy about absorbing the life force of demonic beasts. Furthermore, such a situation could not be known to outsiders. Therefore, Old Master Qin simply set aside a place for Qin Shaofeng and had people guard it.

This also put Qin Shaofeng at ease, allowing him to kill monsters and level up without restraint.

Looking at the demonic beasts in the iron cages before him, Qin Shaofeng tightened the sharp sword he had obtained from Old Master Qin, his gaze burning with fervor!
