"Tao Sect Maoshan Peak."

The person nearby listened to the conversation between two young masters behind him and was suddenly shocked. He turned to look at the two young men and greeted them with cupped hands: "Did you just mention Tao Sect Maoshan Peak?"

"Yes."

One of them nodded.

Upon confirmation, everyone nearby gasped, turning to look at the main hall. This time, Li Feng might have met his match.

If Ximen Chengfeng was merely an arrogant young master from the Ximen Family with no real strength, he'd be courting disaster if he encountered a tough opponent. After all, who knows if Li Feng has any powerful connections.

If Li Feng really does have ties to the Sikong family and is relying on his bloodline awakening, he might not fear Ximen Chengfeng. After all, Ximen Chengfeng is merely from a guardian family of the Sikong family, essentially a subordinate relationship.

If Li Feng truly fought Ximen Chengfeng, and it even went to a lawsuit, Ximen Chengfeng would likely come out worse and suffer the consequences.

However, if Ximen Chengfeng had true strength, then it would be a different story. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Li Feng, in essence, has only showcased his Vermilion Bird Bloodline, and the Sikong family hasn't officially recognized him. Li Feng hasn't acknowledged his ancestry, so people are cautious. They worry about the possibility that Li Feng might be someone significant, and without any significant conflict of interest, they prefer to stay out of it.

But if Ximen Chengfeng insists on putting Li Feng in his place and manages to eliminate him, even if the Sikong family holds him accountable later, Ximen Chengfeng wouldn't necessarily lose his life. After all, Ximen Chengfeng's brother-in-law, Sikong Lie, has awakened his bloodline and is a direct descendant of the Sikong family.

Additionally, the Ximen family is a guardian family of the Sikong family. Although theirs is a superior-subordinate relationship, it is not that of master and servant. The Sikong family still has to consider the Ximen family's feelings, so while they might punish him, they wouldn't take his life.

Those present were all from families and understood the intricacies of this dynamic.

No wonder Ximen Chengfeng showed up at the Li Family early in the morning to take action against Li Feng. This might indeed be the perfect opportunity.

"Ah, the Tao Sect, the leader among the ten great sects of Ancestor Dragon City, and any one of the Eight Peaks of Tao Sect can rival any sect under the Buddhist Sect and Confucian Sect."

One person took a deep breath. Just like the external Three Sects and Six Gates, the Tao, Buddhist, and Confucian sects are still the top three sect forces, with others like Sword Control Sect ranking behind them. These Three Sects can even rival the Eight King Level families, having been passed down for thousands of years.

"Indeed, the Three Great Sects: the Tao Sect recruits disciples based on destiny, the Buddhist Sect on one's Buddhist heart, and the Confucian Sect on talent. Any disciple recruited by these Three Sects is one in ten thousand, a true genius."

"Even those on the new talent list might not gain entry to the Three Sects, showing just how high their threshold is."

The person next to him looked at Ximen Chengfeng enviously. Who in Ancestor Dragon City wouldn't want to join the Three Sects? Once in, it's a clear path to success with no lack of prospects.

"Indeed, that would be enough, but Ximen Chengfeng is also a disciple of Maoshan Peak."

When one young master mentioned Maoshan Peak, he wore a serious expression.

The people nearby agreed; Maoshan Peak might not be the strongest among the Tao Sect's Eight Peaks, but it is the most mysterious, as its ace technique is the Soul Summoning and Ghost Control Technique.

In the main hall, before Ximen Chengfeng finished speaking, his hands quickly formed seals, invoking the Maoshan Taoist skill and the Soul Summoning Array.

As Ximen Chengfeng moved, a cold draft swept through the hall, making everyone's spine shiver inexplicably. In front of Ximen Chengfeng, an array formed swiftly.

Li Feng instinctively sensed a chilling aura, and his domineering Purple Flame erupted directly. He used Shadow Shifting to dash to Ximen Chengfeng's front, raising a fist to tear through the space in front of him, intending to interrupt Ximen Chengfeng.

Ximen Chengfeng glanced up with a cold smile. Reacting a half beat slower, his hand completed the final seal. The Soul Summoning Array before him completed just as Li Feng's fist struck the array. Yet, it was as if the fist was hitting a swamp.

Li Feng paused briefly, during which a fierce aura surged from the Soul Summoning Array before him. Instinctively, Li Feng's toes touched the ground, but a figure suddenly shot out from the array, colliding directly with Li Feng.

Sizzling sounds.

A cold black mist emitted a sizzling sound in front of Li Feng. Bearing the impact, he retreated several steps, crashing into the table behind him. Yet, as he retreated, his wrist flicked, and two hidden weapons shot out, piercing the black mist.

However, the hidden weapons seemed to strike iron with no effect.

Li Feng looked up and saw in the main hall a figure enveloped in a black mist standing between him and Ximen Chengfeng.

The person in the black mist was still wrapped in chains. Underneath the mist, his face was obscured, and he did not seem to be alive to Li Feng.

"It's a Maoshan Ghost General."

"Family Head, be careful. This Ghost General is heavily laden with ominous energy, and once it enters the body, it can cause irreversible damage. The Ghost General is impervious to weapons and lacks pain perception, a living dead refined by Maoshan Taoism, absorbing endless corpse energy. Its power is formidable."

Li Batian, from the side, cautioned, never expecting such a genius from the Tao Sect to appear, especially one inheriting from Maoshan Peak. This is a considerable trouble.

"Mother."

Fang Zhoushan, with blood on the corner of his mouth, looked at the Ximen Chengfeng who injured him and unintentionally raised his spirits. The beautiful woman holding Fang Zhoushan also had her eyes fixed ahead, never expecting things to turn out this way.

Ximen Chengfeng's appearance had completely caught her off guard.

"Don't worry, the Vermilion Bird Bloodline's fire can restrain this Ghost General."

Ghost General.

Li Feng heard Li Batian's reminder. Tao Sect Maoshan Peak, summoning and controlling the Ghost General, he looked down at his Protective Gang Qi. A bit of ghostly aura was blocked by his Purple Flame and directly annihilated.

This ghostly aura seemed highly corrosive and invasive, but with his domineering Purple Flame combined with the Vermilion Bird Fire, it should restrain the opponent.

Li Feng flexed his muscles and looked at Ximen Chengfeng: "Is this the basis of your arrogance?"

With that, Li Feng lightly tapped his toe and, like an arrow from a bowstring, instantly shot towards the Ghost General. The sound of thunder emanated from his arched back, followed by a punch that tore through the air with domineering force, directly hitting the Ghost General's face.

It felt like hitting iron, but under his Beng Fist, even if the opponent's skin was copper and bones iron, with no perception of pain, the force still struck hard.

Bang.

The Ghost General was blasted out like a cannonball by Li Feng, flying from the main hall to the outside yard. Its feet skidded on the ground, causing two sparks, yet its body couldn't stop and crashed into the front yard wall, punching a hole through it.

"Seems like it wasn't quite enough."

Li Feng retracted his fist, looking coldly at Ximen Chengfeng: "Will you leave on your own, or shall I help you out?"
