There were fifteen or sixteen of them. Eight were Martial Masters: two Advanced Martial Masters, two intermediate, and four beginner. The rest were Martial Warriors.
Clearly, this group had formidable top-tier strength. Not only were Martial Masters and Martial Warriors evenly split, but they even had two Advanced Martial Masters.
The Tian Family stopped the visitors, but they also recognized them—the Mi Family of Origin Vast Prefecture.
The Mi Family had risen through trade. Their direct bloodline was about as numerous as the Tian Family's, but as merchants, they had countless subordinate small families and minor factions. Their strength and connections far surpassed the Tian Family's.
The visitors were quite polite. They first asked whether the head belonged to Soul-Seizing Thorn, then requested to see whoever was in charge.
Feng Jun received them and stated bluntly, "My time is tight. If you have business, say it directly."
The Mi Family was equally straightforward. One Advanced Martial Master said that they hoped to take Soul-Seizing Thorn's head and body, and asked Lord Feng to name a price.
Feng Jun immediately looked displeased. His face darkened. "Even now, I still don't know Soul-Seizing Thorn's surname... Could it be Mi?"
The Mi Martial Master realized something was wrong and could only reply vaguely, "The Mi Family has a grudge against Soul-Seizing Thorn. If you have well-informed people around you, you can ask around."
From his attitude, there was likely some private feud between the Mi Family and Soul-Seizing Thorn that they found inconvenient to speak of.
But Feng Jun had no patience for such behavior. He made his position clear. "I don't have that much spare time to look into matters unrelated to me. If you want to speak, then speak. If not... Old Lang!"
Lang Zhen had been injured the day before
