Xiang Lingyue strode forward, her long legs leaping onto the hood of the off-road vehicle. With another jump, she flipped over the car wall and landed on the main road at the town entrance.
"You scoundrel, let's see where you run to."
Xiang Long followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on Li Feng, who was running toward the Xiang Family ancestral hall tens of meters away, frowning secretly. What on earth was Li Feng trying to do?
Did he think that by entering the town, he could solve his problem?
This Huadong Town was the Xiang Family's old haunt, their home for generations. Almost everyone in the town bore the surname Xiang. If Li Feng ran outside, it could be explained, but running inside...
"Oh my god, Li Feng actually rushed into the ancestral hall."
"What's he trying to do?"
Other Xiang Family members reacted a beat too late, and when they turned around, a figure had already flipped over the wall into the ancestral hall.
And that figure was undoubtedly Li Feng.
The ancestral hall was the core of the Xiang Family, holding supreme significance in the hearts of the Xiang Family members, opened only for important festivals and family events.
According to the Xiang Family rules, only male Xiang Family members listed in the family genealogy were allowed to step over its threshold, and even then, only without any unwarranted interference.
The only ones with free access to the ancestral hall were the Xiang Family clan leader, family elders, and the guardians of the ancestral hall.
Xiang Liang watched Li Feng dash into the ancestral hall but stopped at the entrance. Xiang Lingyue and Xiang Long arrived immediately after.
Xiang Lingyue gritted her teeth at the disappearing figure, turning to Xiang Liang and Xiang Long: "Brother Liang, Brother Long, how could that bastard enter the ancestral hall? What should we do now?"
The ancestral hall must not be trespassed.
"The ancestors are still inside. Wouldn't that bastard dare bind the ancestors?"
Inside the ancestral hall were several elders above a hundred years old, all old ancestors of the Xiang clan.
"If he dares do such a thing, he declares relentless war with the Xiang Family."
Xiang Liang said coldly.
Xiang Long stepped forward, showing more calmness: "Without permission, one must not trespass the ancestral hall. Li Feng vaulted into the ancestral hall, and it's already beyond our control. Now, it's only left to notify the clan leader and several family elders."
Xiang Liang gritted his teeth, but that was the only option.
"Go notify the clan leader and family elders at the ancestral hall."
"Li Feng."
Xiang Liang clenched his fists, his anger flaring.
"Go capture all of Li Feng's men." Xiang Liang thought of the people Li Feng brought to the town entrance. Having entered the ancestral hall, leaving wouldn't be easy for him.
"Yes!"
Someone immediately turned and rushed to the town entrance.
"Surround the ancestral hall tightly; not even a fly shall escape."
"Yes!"
The Xiang Family disciples promptly turned around, forming groups to encircle the ancestral hall.
Li Feng vaulted into the Xiang Family ancestral hall, which was expansive. He moved through layered courtyards, passing through the shadow wall to the front yard, hearing the commotion outside.
Yet, none of the Xiang Family disciples dared to force their way into the ancestral hall.
Li Feng chuckled lightly, seemingly having calculated everything.
At the town entrance, the battle with Xiang Liang had already showcased his strength, catching the attention of the opposition. Continued fighting held no significance toward Li Feng's goals.
Even if he unleashed all eight extraordinary meridians, defeated Xiang Liang and Xiang Long, it would only be a slap in the Xiang Family's face, without further significance.
Besides adding fuel to the Xiang Family's resentment, it offered no benefit, and Li Feng wouldn't engage in such pointlessness.
His trip aimed to meet the Xiang Family spokesperson, and the simplest direct method was to enter the ancestral hall, drawing them out.
As for trespassing into the Xiang Family ancestral hall,
Li Feng stood in the front yard, full of confidence, and respectfully bowed towards the ancestral hall: "Descendant of the Medical Saint, Li Feng is here to visit the Xiang Family ancestor, War God senior, late at night."
As Li Feng's voice fell, a light lit up in the chamber at the front yard. Then, a figure of an elderly man with a bent posture pushed open the door and walked out with a lantern in hand, approaching Li Feng.
"Descendant of the Medical Saint?"
The old man's blurred eyes revealed a shadowy glow as he looked at Li Feng.
"Yes."
"Trespassing the Xiang Family ancestral hall in the dead of night, that is a grave disrespect to the Xiang Family, are you aware of this."
The old man snorted, suddenly reaching out his hand to seize Li Feng's arm. Frail as the old man appeared, thin as a bag of bones, his grip was like iron pincers.
Li Feng didn't resist, yet the War God Power emitted through him, another form of engagement.
The old man uttered an "oh," sensing Li Feng's momentum, and his hunched posture emitted cracking sounds. A domineering force contradicting his appearance erupted, matching Li Feng's War God Power.
"A doctor, yet such a strong killing intent, are you truly a descendant of the Medical Saint?"
Li Feng looked at the old man.
"Twenty years ago ago, in the Xiang Family ancestral hall, the family leader of Xiang was suffering internal injuries close to death. The current Xiang Family leader sought my grandfather, requesting his intervention."
"At that time, my grandfather brought me to the Xiang Family, treating that senior with silver needle sealing acupoint, extending his life. Afterward, my grandfather did not ask for any reward from the Xiang Family, only stating that the Xiang Family owed a favor, to be returned if needed in the future."
"This matter, surely the Xiang Family hasn't forgotten; if they have truly forgotten, then I, Li Feng, shall consider my visit in vain and report this to my grandfather."
The old man's brow furrowed upon hearing Li Feng's composed response.
"Zhengbei."
"Let the boy in."
Not waiting for a reply, a powerful voice rang from the chamber behind him.
"Yes, Third Uncle."
The old man's age had over seventy, yet the one inside belonged to a previous generation, perhaps over a hundred.
In the Xiang Family, the higher the generation level, the more venerated one's position becomes. Even the Xiang Family clan leader showed reverence, with ancestral hall elders having the authority to depose the clan leader.
"Might the senior release me; your grip is hurting."
Li Feng looked at Xiang Zhengbei.
"Hmph."
Xiang Zhengbei snorted coldly, acknowledging the boy having some insight, at least not daring to step forward with a swinging hand, lest he be beaten senseless.
Releasing Li Feng's hand, he turned his body: "Come with me."
Crossing a courtyard, there were more chambers, several rooms now illuminated, where elderly awakened by the commotion gathered, looking at Li Feng.
"Descendant of the Medical Saint?"
"The kid must be that brat beside the Medical Saint back then."
"Twenty years have passed; he's changed quite a bit, but few knew of that incident, unlikely to be an impostor."
Among them were elders present during the past event; however, Li Feng had been merely six or seven years old twenty years past, now vastly changed by time.
"Hmph, daring to crash into our Xiang Family ancestral hall looking for trouble must mean finding life cumbersome."
Listening to the unreserved chatter, Li Feng stepped into the central chamber; sizable, where a emaciated elderly chairing at the head, though aged, emanated gaze of incisive brilliance.
"Step closer, let me take a look."
