At this moment, Li Changfeng was awakened by the noise. He barely stood up, quickly searched the five people, found five storage bags, and then slowly walked towards them.
Li Changfeng appeared extremely weak, his face as pale as paper, and every step he took caused him excruciating pain. However, no one dared to challenge Li Changfeng authority, and instead, they all held him in high esteem.
Seeing this, Wang Jiao's face was filled with despair. Suddenly, his eyes fell sharply on the Viper. "Father! Now is the perfect opportunity! Quick! Kill him!"
Wang Jiao's voice startled everyone present. They hadn't expected that Wang Jiao would be so persistent and ambitious, still wanting to take the opportunity to kill Li Changfeng.
Unfortunately, the Viper didn't react at all. Instead, it glared at Wang Jiao with a disgusted expression, saying, "You beast! You are utterly unforgivable!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Viper struck his son viciously, slamming a palm into Wang Jiao's lower abdomen. The True Qi Seed within his body was instantly shattered, and his cultivation vanished on the spot.
Wang Jiao was suddenly struck and coughed up a mouthful of thick blood, staring at the Viper in disbelief. "Father! You... you actually crippled me!!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper's face contorted in pain, several strands of his hair turned white, and he looked more than ten years older. "Do you even have any respect for me as your father? You even wanted to kill me! I crippled you... and that was too lenient!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao burst into despair and laughed, "Hahaha! I'm crippled! I'm crippled! I never imagined that my exceptional talent would be wasted by my father. It's truly a cruel twist of fate!"
Princess Minmin said with a mocking smile, "Your talent is nothing special. There are plenty of those in the sect. You're too narrow-minded!"
Wang Jiao didn't believe her at all. He sat on the ground, laughing maniacally with a self-deprecating expression. Everyone who saw this curled their lips. "What an arrogant guy. Does he really think he's a genius? A real genius is someone like Hall Master Li. You? You're nothing!"
The crowd's words struck a chord with Wang Jiao. He had to admit that what they said made sense, and he felt so ashamed that he wanted to disappear.
When Li Changfeng came to him, he gritted his teeth and looked at Li Changfeng with hatred. This was the man who had taken everything from him, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
Li Changfeng glanced at him indifferently, "Viper! Your son deserves to die for what he did! You Blackheart, go ahead and do it!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper sighed deeply. "My lord! It is indeed my fault for failing to raise my son properly, raising such an ungrateful wretch. I have no objection to your judgment, Brother Blackheart! Then... then I will trouble you!"
Blackheart sighed upon hearing this, and patted him on the shoulder, "Viper! Take it easy! I'm quick, there won't be any pain, so don't worry!"
Upon hearing this, the Viper nodded and turned around immediately. He couldn't bear to watch his son die in front of him. Although he had killed his father, his son was still his son, and he still felt a little reluctant to do so!
Blackheart slowly walked up to Wang Jiao, who was immediately terrified. "Uncle Blackheart! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Don't kill me, I'm a cripple now, and I won't be a threat to you anymore!"
Blackheart Xin sighed upon hearing this, "Nephew Wang! What you did was terribly wrong, utterly unforgivable. You can only blame yourself for being so utterly erroneous. Rest in peace!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Blackheart hand struck down with a crack, shattering Wang Jiao's skull and instantly destroying his brain. Wang Jiao collapsed to the ground, his life extinguished.
Upon hearing this, the Viper's face was filled with grief. He slowly bowed to Li Changfeng, saying, "My lord! Please allow me to give him a proper burial..."
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng sighed and said, "Alright! Go ahead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Viper picked up Wang Jiao's body and slowly flew away into the distance. Seeing this, Li Changfeng said to Blackheart, "Take some time to appease him!"
"Yes, sir! I will!"
Li Changfeng cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, saying, "I apologize for this gathering! I never expected such a traitor to appear. Fortunately, no one was injured. I will hold another gathering later to properly apologize to everyone!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Hall Master Li! This is nothing. Nobody expected something like this to happen. Besides, Hall Master Li gave us a spectacular battle. I admire you greatly!"
"Yes! A nobody like me would never have the chance to witness such a great battle. I never expected that Hall Master Li would give us such a feast for the eyes. It makes our admiration for you flow like the Yellow River, unstoppable!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This time, establishing authority has been a complete success!"
"Alright everyone! I need to go back and recover from my injuries. I'll invite you all to my conference again later!"
Everyone immediately understood Li Changfeng's intention to see them off, so they bowed to each other and left. After everyone had left, Li Changfeng could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.
Princess Minmin was slightly taken aback upon seeing this. "This kid is really something! He's so badly injured, yet he's endured it until now. He's really something!"
Upon seeing this, the two men in Ziyi and green robes were immediately alarmed and shouted, "Someone! Help the Grand Master back to recover from his injuries!"
"Also! Take out a piece of the century-old Snow Ginseng and give it to the hall master to heal his injuries!"
The two guards quickly helped Li Changfeng up and respectfully said, "We obey your orders!"
Three days later.
After taking three pieces of century-old Snow Ginseng, Li Changfeng's injuries finally stabilized. The powerful qi and blood slowly healed his injuries, and within a week, he was fully recovered.
Li Changfeng's eyes trembled slightly as he slowly opened them, finding himself lying on his own bed. Xiao Qing, who was serving him, quickly helped Li Changfeng up and asked worriedly, "Big brother! You're awake! How are you feeling now?"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, and said hoarsely, "No... it's nothing, just... bring me a glass of water!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing quickly brought over a glass of water. Li Changfeng took it and drank it down in one gulp. His throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire, and drinking the water made him feel a little better.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing quickly brought over the entire teapot and poured water for Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng drank the whole pot and felt much better.
At this moment, a boy about the same age as Xiao Qing walked over. "Li Changfeng! You're awake! Quick! Teach me swordsmanship!"
Seeing that this man exuded an air of nobility and was full of arrogance, Li Changfeng vaguely felt that he resembled someone else and asked in confusion, "Who are you, kid?"
