Lin Fei had come in person this time not merely to help the Zhan Family resolve its crisis.
As the saying went, a wolf would travel a thousand miles and still eat meat.
Since he had come, he could not let the trip be for nothing.
The Five Hidden Families had invaded Nine Heavens Star. They must have had the Ji Family backing them to dare act this way.
Otherwise, the Five Hidden Families would never have dared invade.
After all, the Zhan Family had once enjoyed a formidable reputation, with three mighty figures in one lineage, reigning supreme over Nine Heavens Star.
If the Five Hidden Families failed to destroy the Zhan Family in this invasion, none of them would likely withstand its retaliation.
Their invasion was indeed an attempt to seize territory, but it was also a probe to determine whether Zhan Honglei was alive or dead.
Once they confirmed that Zhan Honglei was truly dead, the Five Hidden Families would have nothing left to fear.
Coupled with the assurances of the Ji Family's Celestial Immortal ancestor, this filled them with confidence.
Even if Zhan Honglei was alive, as long as they conquered Nine Heavens Star, the Ji Family's Celestial Immortal ancestor would step in to suppress any retaliation from the Zhan Family.
However, if the Python-Sparrow Heavenly Demon intervened, all it needed to do was reveal its heavenly demon aura.
The Five Hidden Families would likely beat a retreat at once, no longer daring to wade into these muddy waters.
The Ji Family's Celestial Immortal ancestor might also back down.
Lin Fei had previously sworn a heavenly dao oath to fight the Ji Family until one side was dead.
Now that the Ji Family was plotting behind this affair, he would certainly have to fulfill that oath.
