Xiang Qian led the way as three clan elders followed him into the private room, while the other Xiang Family members could only wait outside.

Fortunately, standing outside, they could still see what was happening inside.

"If any unexpected changes occur, follow the Clan Leader's orders,"

Xiang Tao whispered to those beside him.

"Yes!"

Xiang Liang and Xiang Long could only nod silently, with no room to speak, glancing towards the private room.

With the Clan Leader, a King Level powerhouse, present, even Li Feng couldn't cause much trouble, especially with three clan elders who were top Dominating Level masters, their prowess akin to that of a Great Grandmaster.

Even if Li Feng were extraordinary, he couldn't overturn the heavens.

"Ancestor,"

Xiang Qian stepped into the private room and respectfully saluted Ancestor Xiang Zhan, who was over a hundred years old, being the oldest and most revered of the Xiang Family, the 368th Clan Leader.

He was of Xiang Qian's grandfather's generation.

With the Xiang Family upholding the ancestral legacy, Xiang Qian had to be utterly respectful in front of this ancestor, or else he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as Clan Leader.

"Hmph!"

Xiang Zhan looked at Xiang Qian and snorted, slamming his palm on the table: "Xiang Qian, are you trying to betray your teacher and ancestors?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Qian shuddered, immediately kneeling down: "Ancestor, from where do these words come? I, Xiang Qian, have been diligent for the Xiang Family, never once disrespecting the ancestors!"

The three clan elders, all in their sixties, seemed quite young in front of this ancestor.

The second clan elder kept his head down, saying nothing.

The first clan elder exchanged a glance with the third clan elder from the corner of his eye, then glanced at Li Feng standing in the hall.

The first clan elder knew he had to address this matter since everything stemmed from Li Feng.

Who knew how this young man had twisted facts in front of the ancestor.

"Ancestor, may I speak?"

Xiang Zhan looked up at the first clan elder Xiang Weiguo: "Since you want to speak, let's hear it. This old man isn't so senile that he can't listen."

"Ancestor, your wisdom is unparalleled."

"Ancestor, perhaps it was due to Li Feng's words that there was some misunderstanding between us."

"Continue."

"Ancestor, I admit we have conflicts with Li Feng, but this was also for some of the Xiang Family's interests."

"This Li Feng, known as Hidden Dragon in Huacheng, acts with arrogance and tyranny, treating all local families like mere dogs, and no one dares to speak against him."

"At the beginning of the year, the collapse of Sihai Group and the massacre of the Chen Family caused our Xiang Family to lose billions, with his presence affecting our interests in Huacheng."

"Now in Huacheng, everyone knows only this young upstart, the Hidden Dragon, but no one considers our Xiang Family in Huadong as a threat anymore."

"Ancestor, although our Xiang Family has endured hardships, every Clan Leader has worked diligently, and despite past ups and downs due to changing times, today we are no longer the same, and it's time for us to expand grandly."

"This Li Feng dominates Huacheng, treating it as his personal domain, with no regard for our Xiang Family. Whether for the Xiang Family's interests or its future, this person must not remain."

"Perhaps there was no feud before, but now he is a stumbling block in the path of our Xiang Family's development."

The first clan elder spoke righteously, blocking the Xiang Family's development makes one a stumbling block, and there's no negotiation about getting rid of such a person.

"Ancestor, perhaps we had no feud initially, but this person seriously injured my grandson, Xiang Zhuang, one of the Five Tigers, and brought our Xiang Family members bound to Huadong Town."

"His actions are brazenly arrogant, utterly disregarding our Xiang Family, so both for public and private reasons, this person must die."

The third clan elder stepped forward, shouting for Li Feng's death, as if Li Feng's mere existence was a crime.

"Ancestor, please prioritize the Xiang Family and do not be swayed by an outsider's nonsense, and allow us to take him out."

The third clan elder stepped forward and bowed.

Li Feng squinted at the two Xiang Family elders targeting him, realizing it was them who had a specific agenda against him.

This time he had ventured into the lion's den to find out who in the Xiang Family wanted to deal with him since he had no grievances with them.

But sometimes it was laughable; even if you had no feud, your existence might stand in another's way, giving them every reason to want you dead.

"Elder Xiang, may I have a few words?"

Li Feng turned towards Xiang Zhan with utmost courtesy, respecting the elderly and cherishing the young, especially since Xiang Zhan was the same age as his grandfather, and although the Xiang Family was an enemy, this elder would not be.

For the elder owed his grandfather a debt of life.

A debt of gratitude.

If that meant nothing, how could the Xiang Family possibly have lasted a thousand years?

Xiang Zhan nodded slightly.

Li Feng, granted permission, swiftly turned towards the first and third clan elders who had demanded his death: "I won't bother with introductions."

"You just claimed I obstructed the Xiang Family's development, so you must kill me for its interests. Very well, I have no objections."

"The world is vast, but interest reigns supreme. Eliminating a stumbling block for profit is natural, no objections."

"I do not contest this point."

"But you having people come to kill me is one thing, yet you disallowing me to fight back is unjust."

"Listen to this claim: I severely injured your grandson. Haha, your grandson came with others to eliminate me, yet I couldn't fight back?"

"Since it's a dispute of interests, let abilities decide. You come to kill me; I can kill you. Moreover, I showed mercy and spared your grandson's life, while I merely broke the leg of the others."

"Oh, by the way, you mentioned I was here to provoke, disrespecting the Xiang Family, slapping its face in the dead of night."

"I scoff, as if I had idle time."

"If they weren't surnamed Xiang, I'd have fed them to the fish in the sea already. Truly, think I dare not stain my hands with blood."

"Hmph, only if you dare." The third clan elder coldly eyed Li Feng.

Li Feng curled his lips at the third clan elder: "Heh, my daring doesn't need your validation. I came to Huadong Town not for you, but for Elder Xiang, given my grandfather's ties with him."

"If you disregard these ties, so be it. A single opponent or two makes no difference."

"Yet next time, my restraint will not be so lenient. You should prepare for elders to mourn the young."

Li Feng responded coldly.

Li Feng had never been softhearted towards enemies.

"A mere fledgling dares utter wild words."

The third clan elder's domineering aura surged, causing a gust in the room.

Thunk.

At this moment, Xiang Zhan, seated at the head, slammed his hand on the table: "What are you intending to do, do you even know who he is, and you want to kill him?"

"Then go ahead, start by taking my life."
