Shen Leyou is also searching for Tang Fei.

Because everyone is aware that the one capable of bringing threat and upheaval to the Shen Family 'Dynasty' is Tang Fei, son of the former Imperial Grand Marshal Tang Li.

As long as he can be found and either captured or killed, it would remove the thorn in the side of the Shen Family.

This is a monumental accomplishment.

Anyone with aspirations for that position wants to hold this achievement in their hands.

Isn't this much better than destroying a Qin Family army?

Tang Fei alone can equal an army.

With Tang Fei dead, the Qin Lu Alliance would crumble without even being attacked.

The remaining remnants of the Tang Family would be like a leaderless ghost, quickly defeated.

However, known to all, Tang Fei has gone to the Old Land, and their reach cannot extend there.

Though several teams were dispatched for a search, they never returned, eventually leaving the futile efforts abandoned.

The Old Land's environment is harsh, resources are scarce, human nature is wicked, and organizations are disorganized. Surviving alone is an extremely difficult task...

Development is impossible.

If Tang Fei wants it, let him have it.

A mountain bandit always remains a mountain bandit, a thief, a rogue, mud that cannot be molded into something presentable.

Once the Shen Family firmly secures the title of New Star's master, they can spare the time to deal with them properly.

Like the Trisolarans descending on Earth, it is a dimensional reduction attack.

Looking everywhere for something precious, only to find it effortlessly.

Oh, a little effort is still needed.

Without effort, if not a small grandmaster, one would likely have had their throat slashed and heart pierced by Tang Fei long ago.

This fellow strikes ruthlessly.

Having identified Tang Fei's identity through his martial arts, Shen Leyou's spirit became both astonished and excited.

Astonished at how Tang Fei breached layers of blockade and vigilance to enter Fengming Palace, even slipping into Dongguo Chenxi's room...

Is he targeting Zhong Tianque, or...

Has he learned somehow about Dongguo Chenxi's secret affair?

In Fengming Palace, besides myself, only Zhong Tianque could manage such feats.

Could he and Zhong Tianque have conspired together?

This is certainly a dangerous signal.

Excited because he is Tang Fei, a living Tang Fei...

If he captures him, kills him, even if it comes to light that he slept with Dongguo Chenxi, with Zhong Tianque's wife, all there would be is merit, not fault.

This little scandal cannot compare to Tang Fei.

Undoubtedly, this is a tragedy for Zhong Tianque and the Zhong Royal Family.

A dragon in shallow waters, mocked by shrimps; a tiger fallen in Pingyang, bullied by dogs.

Once second only to one, the Imperial Crown Prince's current status is inferior to that of the son of a rebellious military leader.

Zhong Daolong in the spirit realm...

Oh, he's not dead yet.

Go back and inform him.

Upon confirming Tang Fei's identity, a strong thought emerged in Shen Leyou's mind:

Keep Tang Fei.

Keep Tang Fei.

For this, he's even willing to 'publicize' his delightful romantic affair with the lady.

"Grandpa is here." Tang Fei grinned.

When he used the "Netherworld Scroll," he knew his identity would be exposed.

The "Netherworld Scroll" is an extremely rare swordsmanship in the world, his good brother Evil God winked eight hundred times, hinting he must take the ancient secret skill and not be polite.

A gentleman does not take what others desire, but gentlemen also elevate the beauty of achievements.

Tang Fei hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately he decided to follow the host's advice:

A brother's possession is one's own.

The "Netherworld Scroll" isn't the educational version of a secret manual traded in cultivation markets; it's a private version.

The educational version refers to a cultivation technique known to the world, owned by the Zhang family and the Li family, everyone can practice it.

Like textbooks distributed under the nine-year compulsory education, everyone's on the same starting line, whoever trains well is the expert.

For example, Tang Fei's "Dragon Elephant Demon Suppressing Skill."

This technique is known by many, yet few are willing to practice it.

Why?

Too much input, too little output.

One might even gain nothing.

Meanwhile, the private version belongs solely to a person, a family, or an entire lineage, such as Tang Fei's "Netherworld Scroll," Xiao Bai's "Broken Sword Style," and Shen Xinglan's "Meteor Sword Technique" and "Great Sun Tathagata Sword Seal"....

Of course, the techniques practiced by Shen Xinglan belong to the entire Shen Family, and the Shen Family's direct lineage can learn them.

It's just that none have Shen Xinglan's monstrous talent for cultivation.

Tang Fei chooses to expose his identity just to execute the 'fatal' sword.

Firstly, because this sword is powerful, unpredictable, and difficult to defend against.

Secondly, his intent is to kill Shen Leyou.

Once a person is dead, they can't know what sword technique was used.

Rounding off equals not using it.

Tang Fei's body lunged at Shen Leyou in a bizarre posture, but the dog-leg knife in his hand vanished without a trace.

Completely hidden in the darkness.

Yes, to create atmosphere for romance, Dongguo Chenxi turned off all the lamps in the room, leaving only a dim yellow desk lamp...

This greatly aids Tang Fei's performance.

Shen Leyou dared not underestimate him; having suffered at Tang Fei's hands earlier, he now naturally fights for his life with all his might.

As he hunted Tang Fei's trajectory, he unleashed the Shen Family's unique movement technique, "Ghostly Despair."

This movement technique is dreamlike and fantastical, akin to nighttime haunting.

Hard to capture, impossible to comprehend.

When Tang Fei first arrived at New Star, he witnessed the wonders of this movement technique on Shen Qingping.

Now seeing Shen Leyou performing it...

Makes one think what Shen Qingping was practicing back then.

With a higher vision and stronger ability, the path walked becomes awkward.

Their bodies simultaneously hidden, yet chasing, fighting in this tight space.

Whsh whsh whsh...

Only the biting cold wind.

Shen Leyou knows Tang Fei is a wild child from the mountains, understands his strong forest survival skills, possessed with seemingly innate crisis awareness...

He's studied his technique, familiar with his movement technique.

He's in no hurry.

Shen Leyou keeps waiting for the moment Tang Fei makes a mistake.

After being punched by himself earlier, his internal organs must be injured, and his Yin Yang Qi blocked.

Any slight flaw, he can strike a fatal blow.

Tang Fei did not know what Shen Leyou was thinking; he fully focused on tracking Shen Leyou's steps.

With his dog-leg knife, he slashed over 180 times, yet hasn't touched the other's clothing.

"Ghostly Despair," Ghostly Despair.

Humans despair too.

Just at this moment, a pained expression crossed Tang Fei's face.

Although fleeting, Shen Leyou noticed it.

Moreover, his moving body paused momentarily, like a game suddenly losing signal.

Now is the moment.

Shen Leyou revealed his form, punching towards Tang Fei's face.

This punch, if struck, would shatter his skull.

No, splatter his brain.

He believes in his strength.

Rumble...

The shadow of the fist flickers.

The silver light is brilliant.

Even the dimly lit living room was lit up.

However, what shocked and scared Shen Leyou was that Tang Fei disappeared.

Scratch!

A chill on his back.

A sharp blade pierced through his chest.

Shen Leyou looked bewilderedly at the tip of the dog-leg knife in his chest.

How did he do it?

"Were you looking for my flaw?" Tang Fei asked cheerfully from behind Shen Leyou, "When you find my flaw, that's when you reveal yours..."
