Using the Liu Family to Pressure Me? Then Try Me, See If I Dare Kill You!

Qin Tianlong looked at Zhang Jianye, who was speaking up for Ye Haipeng, and sneered, "Zhang Jianye, why are you everywhere?"

"What? Nothing better to do with your time?"

Zhang Jianye curled his lip and shrugged. "As fellow prominent families in Haicheng, our Zhang Family and the Ye Family share a deep friendship; naturally, we stand together against our enemies."

"What? You, a mere prisoner, think you can turn the world upside down?"

After speaking, he paused and said to Ye Haipeng, "Haipeng, you didn't know, did you?"

"This brat standing across from you is named Ye Wudao, and he can be considered to have the bloodline of your Ye Family."

He paused again, looked at Ye Wudao, and said with contempt, "Though, his bloodline might not be that pure. He's just a bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wudao was instantly consumed by rage and shouted, "You old mongrel, what did you say? Say that again if you have the guts!"

Zhang Jianye frowned, stared at Ye Wudao, and said in a deep voice, "Brat, you have the guts to say that again?"

Ye Wudao narrowed his eyes and spat out each word, "Old mongrel! Old bastard! You son of a bitch who was born to a mother but never taught by a father!"

Qin Tianlong quickly held Ye Wudao back and laughed, "Wudao, you're too honest. It's not good to speak such hard truths!"

Watching the master and disciple singing in harmony, Zhang Jianye growled, "You are courting death!"

Seeing Zhang Jianye's fury, Ye Haipeng hurriedly pulled Ye Mingyuan back.

This was no longer a matter between Ye Mingyuan and Ye Wudao; it was a grudge between Zhang Jianye and Qin Tianlong.

Who in all of Haicheng didn't know that the Azure Dragon Gang had been wiped out by Zhang Jianye?

Now that two Xiantian Realm experts were about to clash, even he, at the peak of the Houtian Realm, dared not stay here, let alone Ye Mingyuan, who was only at the minor success stage of Body Tempering.

He pulled Ye Mingyuan to his side and whispered, "Is this Ye Wudao the illegitimate son your father mentioned?"

Ye Mingyuan nodded and replied, "Grandfather, that's him!"

"And this Qin Tianlong is the former leader of the Azure Dragon Gang?"

Ye Haipeng nodded and said, "Qin Tianlong was outplayed back then, beaten into a serious injury by Zhang Jianye, and forced to hide in Haicheng First Prison."

"It seems now that Qin Tianlong's injuries have mostly recovered, and he might even have made further progress."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to challenge Zhang Jianye."

Ye Mingyuan stared fixedly at Ye Wudao and said in a low voice, "This bastard is truly lucky. Even after going to prison, he managed to take a Xiantian Realm expert as his master."

He paused, looked at Ye Haipeng, and asked softly, "Grandfather! Qin Tianlong won't help Ye Wudao deal with our Ye Family, will he?"

Ye Haipeng frowned slightly, looked at Qin Tianlong, who was confronting Zhang Jianye, and shook his head. "He shouldn't!"

"If Qin Tianlong leaves the prison, Zhang Jianye will be the first to refuse to let him go."

"Don't worry about this matter. Focus on your cultivation and strive to enter the Houtian Realm as soon as possible."

Ye Mingyuan nodded. "I understand, Grandfather!"

While the two were talking, Zhang Jianye took a few steps forward, arrived in front of Qin Tianlong, and said in a deep voice, "Qin Tianlong, hand over this foul-mouthed brat, and I can choose not to hold you accountable."

"Otherwise, today will be the burial ground for both of you."

Qin Tianlong's lips curled into a cold sneer. "If you were absolutely certain you could beat me, you wouldn't be standing here wasting your breath."

He narrowed his eyes, his Xiantian True Qi erupted violently, and he growled, "Zhang Jianye, I said it before: the day I leave this prison will be your death day!"

Zhang Jianye's eyes widened, and he roared, "Fine! Then today, I will send both master and disciple on your way!"

As he finished speaking, he drew a long staff from behind his back and barked, "Come, let me see if your Overlord Spear has improved after ten years!"

Qin Tianlong narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Hankuang nearby. Zhang Hankuang immediately understood, threw a black spear from not far away, and shouted, "Elder Qin, catch!"

Qin Tianlong reached out, caught the black spear firmly, and growled, "Since you want to test it, then let's test it!"

"Ten years have passed, and I wonder if your Bodhisattva Staff Technique has made any progress!"

Both sides took their starting stances, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Are you two going a bit too far?"

"I brought you here today to harvest the Spirit Rhino Grass, not to settle your personal grudges."

Just then, a voice filled with dissatisfaction came from above.

Wang Pengwen hovered in the air, watching the two of them quietly.

Seeing Wang Pengwen appear, Qin Tianlong put away his stance and bowed to him. "Uncle Wang!"

Wang Pengwen nodded slightly and sighed, "Tianlong, I didn't expect that after fifteen years, your Qin Family would fall to this state!"

"Sigh! To think that back then, your father was only one step away from the Grandmaster Realm!"

"I never expected him to pass away at that age!"

"The world is truly unpredictable!"

Qin Tianlong pursed his lips and replied, "My father had too many hidden injuries, and he forced a breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, so..."

He left the rest unsaid, trusting that Wang Pengwen knew what he meant.

At this moment, Zhang Jianye, standing to the side, frowned deeply as he heard Qin Tianlong and Wang Pengwen chatting about family matters.

He looked at Wang Pengwen and said softly, "Grandmaster Wang, this brat named Ye Wudao has no respect for his elders and is spewing filth."

"Today, I must make him give me an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Wang Pengwen frowned and asked, "An explanation? What kind of explanation?"

"I already said, if you have private grievances, do not settle them here!"

"I know who is backing you, but that is not capital for you to bargain with me."

Zhang Jianye's brows furrowed slightly. He could see it now: Wang Pengwen was determined to protect Qin Tianlong and Ye Wudao today.

In fact, from the aura that had erupted from Qin Tianlong just moments ago, he could sense that while Qin Tianlong had not yet reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm, he was not far off.

Today might have been his only chance.

If he let Qin Tianlong go today, it would truly become a disaster once Qin Tianlong reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm!

He looked at Wang Pengwen again and said, "Grandmaster Wang, do you mean that as long as we don't fight inside this cave, it is fine, right?"

Wang Pengwen's brows knit together; Zhang Jianye was pushing his luck.

His stance had already been made clear: he intended to protect Qin Tianlong.

Yet, Zhang Jianye was challenging his bottom line again and again.

He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "Zhang Jianye, do you really think I dare not touch you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jianye's attitude shifted, and he said in an icy tone, "If you want to touch me, you had better ask if the two from the Liu Family will allow it!"

Wang Pengwen burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Ha!"

"Don't try to pressure me with Liu Shaosong and Liu Shaobai. Even if I kill you today, do you think they would avenge a dead man?"

Zhang Jianye chuckled, "Grandmaster Wang, don't speak so absolutely!"

"Perhaps you don't know yet! Grandmaster Liu Shaobai is currently in seclusion and is about to advance to the minor completion of the Grandmaster Realm."

"Furthermore, my Zhang Family is fortunate; my great-granddaughter has caught the eye of the Fourth Young Master of the Liu Family and is about to marry into the Liu Family."

"So I advise you to think carefully before you speak. As a beginner Grandmaster, can you afford to offend the Liu Family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire cave fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked at Zhang Jianye, feeling that he had lost his mind.

Daring to go against a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse in front of so many people—was he truly suicidal, or did he really have such confidence?

Wang Pengwen narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Oh? Then try me and see if I dare to kill you!"

Zhang Jianye froze upon hearing this!

Was there something wrong with Wang Pengwen's brain, or was he truly not afraid of the Liu Family?

He speculated inwardly: Could it be that Wang Pengwen had another backer?

Logically speaking, after he had said all that, the least Wang Pengwen could do was stay out of the matter.

After all, as long as they didn't fight inside the cave, it was outside Wang Pengwen's jurisdiction.

But looking at Wang Pengwen's attitude, he was clearly going to see this through to the end.

An average beginner Grandmaster would not have the guts to confront the Liu Family.

The Magic Capital's Liu Family was currently a top-tier family within the Blue Star Federation; once Liu Shaobai advanced to the minor completion of the Grandmaster Realm, the Liu Family would truly reach the pinnacle.

By then, aside from those few at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, who would dare to oppose them?

He remained silent for a long time, ultimately unsure whether Wang Pengwen was trying to scare him or if he was truly fearless.

He looked at Qin Tianlong and snorted, "Hmph! You're lucky today; I'll give Grandmaster Wang this face!"

"Don't think that just because you are hiding in the First Prison, I can't do anything to you!"

"We shall see!"

After throwing out this threat, he turned and left.

He did not care about offending Wang Pengwen today.

Wang Pengwen was merely a beginner Grandmaster and would not dare to openly target his Ye Family, as the Ye Family had the Liu Family standing behind them.

What truly unsettled him was Qin Tianlong!

Qin Tianlong was a lone wolf; once he reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm, he would definitely seek revenge on the Zhang Family.

By then, with Qin Tianlong in the shadows and his Zhang Family in the light, it would be difficult to strike back.

Moreover, he had investigated Ye Wudao and knew that Ye Wudao had only been assigned to Cell No. 1 because the other cells were full.

But strangely, Ye Wudao had been a mere mortal before entering the prison, yet within a few short days, he had gained martial cultivation and even entered the Rift World to hunt monsters.

He suspected that Ye Wudao possessed immense martial talent; otherwise, someone as arrogant as Qin Tianlong would never have taken him as a disciple. It was just that those fools in the Ye Family didn't know it!

If Ye Wudao were allowed to grow, it would truly be troublesome.

This was why he would rather offend a Grandmaster than let Qin Tianlong and Ye Wudao leave here alive today.

It was just a pity that Wang Pengwen had intervened, causing his plans to fall through.

After Zhang Jianye left, Qin Tianlong approached Wang Pengwen and cupped his hands, saying, "Many thanks for your help, Uncle Wang!"

Wang Pengwen glanced at Qin Tianlong and sighed, "Alas! I can protect you for a moment, but I cannot protect you for a lifetime."

"I have looked into the matters between your family and the Zhang Family, and this Liu Family is truly not someone you can afford to offend."

"You had better be careful lately! Once Liu Shaobai breaks through to the Minor Accomplishment of the Grandmaster realm, this Zhang Jianye might actually dare to go to the First Prison to kill you."

Qin Tianlong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for the warning, Uncle Wang!"

Wang Pengwen took one last look at Qin Tianlong, nodded, and then slowly flew into the air to begin patrolling the entire cave.
