God-Slaying Blade

Inside Fengxia Mountain Villa.

Feng Wuji's eyes were bloodshot with rage as he held a wine jar in one hand and poured wine into his mouth.

As a member of the Feng family, he had never felt so humiliated in his life!

He led the Iron Rhino Gang away from the manor in a menacing manner, but not only did he fail to teach the person who killed his woman a lesson, he also completely destroyed the Hundred Treasures Pavilion!

He had planned to return, gather the strongmen of the manor, and then attack Fengzhou City again, but he was severely reprimanded by the old matriarch.

"Damn, this is infuriating!"

Feng Wuji's eyes were frighteningly red, as if he wanted to devour people.

"You, come here and kneel down! I'm furious right now!"

Feng Wuji, like a raging beast, fiercely shouted at the maidservant serving him.

The pretty young maid, who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, trembled with fear and immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, choking back sobs, "Please, Second Master, spare me!"

Feng Wuji, his face contorted with rage, grabbed the maid's hair and snarled, "You lowly servant, it's an honor for you to serve me! If you can't vent my anger today, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

"Waaaaah—"

……

In another courtyard of the villa.

A middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe stood respectfully in the courtyard, facing the direction of the house.

"Mother, what are your orders for summoning me?" Feng Tianying asked respectfully.

"Keep an eye on the second son lately, don't let him do anything stupid." The voice coming from inside the house was surprisingly that of an unusually young woman.

The owner of this voice was none other than the matriarch of Fengxia Manor, Feng Chihua, who was also the biological mother of the manor lord Feng Tianying and the second master Feng Wuji!

Feng Tianying smiled and said, "I will keep an eye on my second brother, but Mother has already instructed him, so I'm sure he won't do anything reckless."

"Hmph, his reckless nature is hard to predict. That Qin family brat is somewhat wicked; the Feng family doesn't need to provoke him again for a lowly woman and a small Hundred Treasures Pavilion. If we absolutely must kill him, we should wait for a suitable opportunity to make our move," Feng Chihua sneered.

Feng Tianying laughed and said, "That's what I think too. This Qin family brat killed Xie Zhen and Xie Cheng, so the Lingshan Sect will definitely not let him off. Let's see if he can survive in the hands of the Lingshan Sect first."

Feng Chihua said, "If he can survive the Lingshan Sect, the Feng family can give him a chance first."

Feng Tianying's expression shifted, and he asked in surprise, "Mother means to have him join our Feng family's team and enter the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm?"

"This kid is quite strong, it's a pity not to use him." Feng Chihua's voice contained a sneer.

Feng Tianying smiled and said, "Your son understands."

"Yes, with you in charge of the Feng family, I'm quite at ease. But you still need to keep an eye on Yaoran's cultivation. He has talent; if he can work a little harder, he can become even more outstanding!"

"Mother, rest assured, I will definitely supervise Yaoran well."

"Yes, you may leave."

"Your son takes his leave."

Feng Yaoran, the third son of Feng Tianying, entered the Grandmaster realm at the age of nineteen and was the undisputed number one on the Fengzhou Prodigy Ranking five years ago!

He is also the most talented martial artist in Fengzhou in nearly a thousand years, and the youngest person to enter the Grandmaster realm!

But when Qin Jue, who had disappeared for five years, reappeared, he alone with his sword overshadowed the brilliance of all the geniuses of Fengzhou!

This orphan of the Qin family is not only a nineteen-year-old Grandmaster at the peak of his level, but also a terrifying prodigy who can kill two Grandmasters with a single strike!

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Fengzhou City has finally returned to peace, and no further incidents have occurred.

But everyone knew that this calm wouldn't last long.

Today, thanks to the repairs by dozens of craftsmen, the Qin Mansion has been completely restored, with no trace of damage.

But Qin Jue still sat cross-legged in front of the altar every day, refining his inner energy.

He was cultivating himself, spending time with his unjustly deceased relatives, and waiting for his enemies.

Unfortunately, his enemies were far more cowardly than he had imagined, and they have yet to show themselves.

"It seems I went too far with the killings a few days ago, making them wary."

Another night passed, and Qin Jue slowly opened his eyes.

"Young Master, Xi'er will help you wash up."

Han tide approached with a smile, carrying a bowl of hot water.

She would come to deliver water at this time every day, and only after serving Qin Jue his washing and breakfast would she go to attend to her other business outside.

Qin Jue got up, washed up, and sat down to eat.

Qin Jue took a sip of bean and rice porridge and asked, "Have you encountered any trouble while you were out there?"

Han tide smiled mischievously: "Xi'er is the young master's person now, who would dare to cause trouble for Xi'er?"

After spending several days together, Han tide became much more lively in front of Qin Jue.

Han tide discovered that when this young master wasn't killing anyone, he was very easy to get along with and didn't have the spoiled and arrogant airs of those from powerful families.

Han tide secretly made a summary of Qin Jue's temper: When calm, he is like a spring breeze; when angry, he turns into thunder!

"That's good." Qin Jue smiled.

Han tide sighed softly, "There's just one thing that's not going well. All the businesses have resumed operations and are doing quite well, but we're still short-staffed. I've already increased the salaries by 30%, but still not many people are willing to come."

Qin Jue smiled faintly and said, "It's not that the conditions aren't tempting enough, but rather that the Qin family's situation is still unstable. They're afraid that if something happens to me one day, it will implicate them."

Han tide pursed her lips and said, "Young Master, how about I go back to the Han family and borrow some manpower from my father?"

Qin Jue waved his hand and said, "No need. Since we can't recruit them, we can just buy them from the brokerage. It'll just cost a little more spirit stones. How about this, I'll go to the brokerage with you in a bit."

Han tide's eyes lit up: "Okay."

For some reason, Han tide felt inexplicably happy when she heard that she could go out with Qin Jue.

"May I ask if Young Master Qin is at home? I am Li Dongming, and I request an audience with Young Master Qin!"

Outside the mansion, an old man's voice suddenly rang out.

"Li Dongming?" Qin Jue raised an eyebrow and looked at Han tide, asking, "Who is this person?"

Han tide said blankly, "Xi'er doesn't know either."

"Open the door and let him in to talk," Qin Jue said calmly to Xiao Qing, who was guarding the door.

"Yes, young master."

Xiaoqing responded and opened the door.

A thin, somewhat lewd-looking old man stood hunched over outside the door.

"Young Master wants you to come in," Xiao Qing said.

"Hehe, thank you for your trouble, young lady." The old man chuckled and bowed to Xiaoqing, which left Xiaoqing bewildered. She was just a maid, when had she ever been treated so politely?

With a smile plastered on his face, Li Dongming walked up to Qin Jue and bowed respectfully, saying, "This old man greets Young Master Qin."

Qin Jue nodded and asked, "What do you want with me?"

Bang.

Li Dongming suddenly knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I was originally a retainer of the Wang family, and now I have control of all the Wang family's businesses. However, I know that this fortune is all thanks to Young Master Qin. Therefore, I dare not sit idly by and enjoy the fruits of his labor. I have come to pay my respects to Young Master Qin as my master and am willing to take 50% of the profits as an annual tribute!"

Qin Jue's lips curled up slightly. This Li Dongming must have heard about the Luo family's affairs and was imitating Liu Changshan.
