As soon as Li Feng spoke, the faces of a few managers in the Xiang Family slightly changed.

In the end, they actually didn't take Li Feng seriously. If it weren't for Xiang Zhan, this ancestor, Li Feng wouldn't be worth anything.

With the backing of the ancestor, allowing you to leave the Xiang Family's ancestral hall standing is already a great favor, yet Li Feng still pushes further.

"Heh, what do you want then!"

The senior elder Xiang Weiguo coldly sneered at Li Feng, a young man in his twenties, probably unable to see the situation clearly. The clan leader gave you a step to descend gracefully, yet you still dare to talk nonsense here.

Other members of the Xiang Family also looked at Li Feng.

Clearly, they were all holding back a lot of anger.

Under the sharp gazes, Li Feng remained completely composed.

"I, Li Feng, did not come to the Xiang Family to plead for mercy."

The third elder couldn't hold back and looked at Li Feng with disdain: "You're not here to plead for mercy, then are you here to flaunt your power?"

"Would you dare use your status as the descendant of the Medical Saint, the savior of our Xiang Family ancestor, to humiliate the Xiang Family?"

"Hmph, our Xiang Family's ancestral teachings insist on standing tall, breaking rather than bending. No one can make the Xiang Family bow down."

"I do acknowledge your favor to the Xiang Family, but the Xiang Family cannot be insulted."

The third elder exuded an overwhelming presence, his tiger-like eyes staring firmly at Li Feng, clearly not intending to bow to him.

Xiang Zhan frowned but said nothing. He had already given Li Feng a way to retreat, yet this boy seemed unwilling to relent. He now genuinely wanted to see what this descendant of the Medical Saint was planning.

Li Feng looked toward the third elder, who was glaring with a look ready to fight.

"Did I ever say I wanted to insult you? Don't embellish your act unnecessarily."

"We're all men here; let's be reasonable. We can't go around fussing like those women, can we?"

The third elder heard Li Feng and felt that he was being compared to an unreasonable woman.

"Master, please don't take offense. I didn't say you were like a woman."

A vein pulsed on the third elder's forehead, as if he wanted to punch the boy's face.

At this moment, the clan leader Xiang Qian stepped forward and looked at Li Feng: "Li Feng, what exactly do you want? Just spell it out. The Xiang Family repays favors and settles grudges without muddling things."

"Just say what you want, and I, representing the Xiang Family, will definitely give you a satisfactory answer today."

Li Feng shrugged, looking at the already impatient members of the Xiang Family, indeed with the straightforward nature of martial artists.

"Alright, since Clan Leader Xiang has said so, I won't beat around the bush."

"Your Xiang Family members came to kill me; I crippled Xiang Zhuang and broke one of the Xiang Family disciples' legs. You tried to kill me, I counterattacked, so this matter is settled. Is there a problem with that?"

Li Feng looked at Xiang Qian and spoke.

Xiang Qian nodded: "No issue."

His Xiang Family members went to kill Li Feng for interests. Li Feng fought back, injuring Xiang Family disciples, which just shows that those disciples weren't skilled enough. To argue otherwise would be overwhelmingly arrogant.

Of course, this is purely from a rational perspective.

Li Feng smiled and continued: "That reasoning stands, but some might still be unconvinced because Xiang Zhuang and the others have relatives, friends, and close family."

"There is no problem in principle, but emotionally, there are inevitably knots."

Xiang Qian frowned and looked at Li Feng, wondering what this boy was trying to convey.

"When I was young, I came to the Xiang Family once. My grandfather told me that Yan Country's five thousand years of unbroken legacy is because we have ancestors, laws, and heritages."

"Despite the passage of time and changes in dynasties, some ancient families still survive, such as the Huadong Xiang Family."

"My grandfather told me the Xiang Family reveres ancestors, with Xiang Tian, the ancient Overlord, as the ancestor. Their teachings are about integrity and standing tall to be admired by the heavens and become models for posterity."

"When I heard my grandfather talk about this, I was quite moved and admired it immensely."

"Hmph."

The third elder heard such high praise from Li Feng but only snorted secretly, unable to deny it, lest it sound like self-defeat.

"I defeated Xiang Zhuang, and the Xiang Family seems to have many grievances against me, refusing to believe that I have such strength, assuming I employed some deceitful tactics. This leaves doubts among them."

"If I were to leave like this, those knots would definitely remain unsettled. Despite my grandfather saving Xiang Lao, a life-saving favor, but to be disrespectful."

"Once Xiang Lao is no more, if the Xiang Family writhes in suppressed anger and lets me go today on sufferance, they might take revenge sometime later."

"Of course, I speak with the mindset of a petty man, gauging the heart of a gentleman. However, to do things, it's better to deal with petty men first to clarify things."

Xiang Zhan squinted and watched Li Feng, knowing this boy had a sharp tongue and likely some intent behind his words.

Although he was over a hundred years old, living another decade or so wasn't a problem, not to mention Li Feng was a descendant of the Medical Saint.

The Medical Saint was a master healer, his medical skills were extraordinary, and for those practicing the Overlord Technique, the Xiang Family often faced a critical flaw.

The flaw doesn't manifest when the body is strong but becomes apparent as one ages, when the body cannot withstand the dominant internal energy.

This often causes Demon Possession, leading to bleeding from seven orifices and rupturing internal organs, resulting in death. To control this, strong members of the Xiang Family have to disperse their powers at a certain age.

There was once an internal conflict over clan leader decisions that caused injury to an already severely taxed body, leading to internal energy backlash. If not for the Medical Saint, he wouldn't have survived till now.

This is the fate all who reach the Overlord level face, but the Medical Saint offered a temporary solution appealing enough to pique the family's interest.

Xiang Qian, along with three others, were quite old, with the youngest third elder already sixty, with his powers starting to decline.

Xiang Qian himself was sixty-six, even though he reached the King Level, potentially lasting a few extra years, he would eventually have to step down.

If he didn't want to disperse his powers entirely and become a frail old man, he could only rely on the Medical Saint to seal his dominant energy and decelerate the process.

Xiang Qian should know this point, and even when he passes away, this boy need not worry since the Xiang Family seeks his aid. If they knew he was a descendant of the Medical Saint earlier, none of this would have happened.

After all, in this world, who would offend a doctor, especially one with such high medical prowess?

"You've said so much, what exactly are you trying to say?"

The third elder asked impatiently.

Li Feng smiled and replied: "A fight, in broad daylight, a fair and just fight. If I lose, the favor Xiang Family owes will be considered repaid. I'll leave Huadong Town, and if the Xiang Family finds me unpleasant, they can openly attack me, and I won't hold back."

"If we're enemies, let's be straightforward."

"Oh, what if you win?"

Xiang Qian looked at Li Feng and suddenly found the boy somewhat intriguing.
