Conquer the game world

Chapter 72 Zhou Family
Sensing the aura inside, Ye Feng judged that this person was a martial artist at the Spirit Form Realm, just like himself. It seemed that some kind of dispute must have occurred inside. Ye Feng concealed his aura and used stealth to quietly approach, preparing to observe the situation inside.

Right after this aura appeared, another powerful aura emerged from within. Ye Feng recognized this aura; it was the aura of Bei Yan, the head of the Bei family. It seemed that he was ready to confront this person head-on.

"It looks like someone's come to cause trouble for the Bei family," Ye Feng thought to himself, while preparing to secretly lend a hand should anything happen.

At this moment, the other elders of the Bei family also sensed the situation inside the Bei family. They quickly rushed over from outside, passed by Ye Feng, entered the house, and stood behind Bei Yan. At the same time, they also exuded a powerful aura and looked at the unfriendly people who came.

With these people present, Ye Feng felt relieved. The two sides simply looked at each other without making a move, so it seemed that they wouldn't fight for the time being. Ye Feng then obediently chose to continue observing from the outside.

Ye Feng didn't dare to go inside. After sensing that the spirit-type martial artist could detect the opponent's aura, Ye Feng still didn't dare to get too close, lest he be discovered.

The group confronting Bei Yan didn't seem to be pushovers either. After seeing that Bei Yan had brought more people, they didn't show any fear. Instead, they also unleashed the aura of spirit-form martial artists and continued to confront Bei Yan head-on.

Ye Feng was secretly alarmed. He knew that Xingyue City was only a relatively large city in Tianxing Kingdom. Although Xingyue City was much larger than the starting village when Ye Feng came out, it was still much smaller than Xinglin City, the main city of Tianxing Kingdom.

In the game, Star Moon City is not a major city for players, and there are not many strong monsters in it. There are also not many monsters and NPCs that can reach level 30. Therefore, Ye Feng was quite surprised to find so many level 30 spirit warriors gathered here at the same time.

Fortunately, no one noticed Ye Feng hiding outside. After eavesdropping for a while, Ye Feng learned that these people were from the Zhou family in Star City, another city in Tianxing Kingdom. The leader was named Zhou Tianyu, who seemed to have a very high status in the Zhou family. Among this group, Zhou Tianyu was the main person in charge.

The Zhou family came to cause trouble mainly because they wanted an explanation for the Bei family's previous attack on the Xu family. The Zhou family and the Xu family seemed to have an unusual relationship. Initially, the Xu family even planned to have the Zhou family join forces to deal with the Bei family, but this plan was ultimately thwarted because the Bei family struck first.

The Zhou family's current trouble-making is simply an excuse to extort money from the Bei family. It's impossible for the Zhou family to be so concerned about the Xu family. The Zhou family's purpose in coming here is simply to divide up some of the assets left by the Xu family and take this opportunity to expand their family business to Xingyue City.

"Hmph, my Bei family has no need to give you any explanation. You should leave now." Facing the Zhou family's imposing manner, Bei Yan was not afraid at all and did not give them any face whatsoever.

Ye Feng agreed with Bei Yan's attitude. After all, if you lose your momentum at this time, it's like showing weakness to the other side. It's like being weak before the fight even starts, which is very demoralizing. Then people will treat you like a kitten to bully in the future.

Moreover, although the Zhou family members appeared very powerful, judging from their actual strength, Ye Feng, who was hiding in the corner, observed for a while and still felt that the Bei family members were stronger than the Zhou family members. If a fight broke out, even if he didn't intervene, the Zhou family probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

The Zhou family members were clearly aware of this as well. Seeing that Bei Yan showed no respect whatsoever, their faces turned rather grim, with Zhou Tianyu, the leader, looking particularly furious.

"Fine, Bei Yan, you're ruthless. Just you wait." Although Zhou Tianyu's face was grim, clearly showing his anger, he still wisely chose not to confront the Bei family directly. However, even though he didn't intend to clash with the Bei family, he still had to save face, so Zhou Tianyu said a lot of polite things, such as "I'll make your Bei family pay sooner or later."

Zhou Tianyu's words were harsh, and Bei Yan's expression wasn't good either. However, the Zhou family didn't dare to make a move. Although the Bei family was more powerful on the surface, Bei Yan also didn't dare to easily attack these people. These people were representing the Zhou family, and the Zhou family was indeed stronger than the Bei family. Right now, the two sides were just having a simple argument. If they really started fighting, even if the Bei family could gain an advantage this time, they would definitely face endless troubles in the future.

Of course, even if he doesn't take action now, there will probably be a lot of trouble later. However, if they really start fighting, it will definitely be a fight to the death. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Bei Yan doesn't dare to act rashly.

Both sides had their own concerns, and for the time being, they were just in a standoff, with neither daring to make a move easily. Under such circumstances, Bei Yan would definitely not back down to show weakness to the Zhou family.

"You Bei family, just you wait! We're leaving!" Realizing he wouldn't get anything out of this trip, Zhou Tianyu stopped arguing and left with his men.

"Take care, don't bother seeing us off." Bei Yan, standing to the side, did not stop the Zhou family from leaving, but he did not give Zhou Tianyu a friendly look.

Ye Feng, fearing his whereabouts would be discovered, quickly retreated a distance. He saw Zhou Tianyu leading the group out, and at that moment, Ye Feng spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

This person was none other than Cao Mao, an elder of Ye Feng when he was in the Star Dust Sect. Ye Feng was aware of Cao Mao's betrayal of the Star Dust Sect, and on that day, the Star Dust Sect also sent two elders, Mu Jianchao and Lu Qiao, to hunt down Cao Mao.

Ye Feng assumed that Cao Mao must have died long ago due to the pursuit of the two elders. Unexpectedly, he found Cao Mao here and even became a member of the Zhou family. Ye Feng hadn't been able to see clearly before because there were many people in the house. Now, after examining Cao Mao more carefully, he discovered that Cao Mao had also reached the Spirit Form Warrior level. Such a speed of improvement was astonishing.

Seeing Cao Mao startled Ye Feng. Cao Mao's strength had improved so much that it shocked Ye Feng even more. Ye Feng's own rapid improvement was due to the system allowing him to level up simply by gaining experience. However, it was different for a martial artist like Cao Mao. He could not improve without reaching a certain level. Therefore, it seemed that Cao Mao must have had some kind of luck to have such strength today.

Although he didn't quite understand, Ye Feng stopped dwelling on the matter. The Stardust Sect affair was now over, and Cao Mao had become a member of the Zhou family, meaning he had nothing to do with the Stardust Sect anymore.

Ye Feng had no intention of attacking Cao Mao. Firstly, he had nothing to do with the Star Dust Sect anymore, and secondly, the people around Cao Mao were all quite strong. Ye Feng couldn't guarantee that he could defeat them all together. Of course, if he released Gui Liao, Ye Feng was very confident. However, Ye Feng didn't intend to reveal his trump cards casually.

After the Zhou family members left, Ye Feng stopped thinking about the matter and did not follow them. Instead, he returned directly to the main hall. This time, Ye Feng did not use stealth and appeared directly in front of Bei Yan.

"Brother Bei seems to have run into trouble. Those people just now didn't seem to have any good intentions." Ye Feng asked bluntly. Ye Feng didn't intend to pretend that he didn't see the Zhou family. There was no point in doing so. After all, everyone saw the Zhou family swaggering out like that.
