This Yu Family's Golden Core also possesses the strength of a Golden Core at the Initial Stage, and the Yu Family's palm technique is exceptional, creating a myriad of falling blossoms that confuses one's vision and blurs the opponent's attack paths.

"A showy display."

Zeng Jingtian sneered coldly, suddenly releasing a surge of Vast Righteous Qi from his body: "Suppress."

Instantly.

As Zeng Jingtian's word-following came forth, a Mount Tai descending appeared, pressing down on the Yu Family's Golden Core attacking from both sides.

"Confucian Dao·Word-following."

The Yu Family's two Golden Cores felt the weight of Mount Tai upon them, completely powerless to resist, while not far away, the Family Head of the Zhu Family swallowed his saliva secretly.

This fourth member of the Zeng Family has actually attained such a mastery, in Ancestor Dragon City, the status of the Three Sects is transcendent, and they have always been strict in accepting disciples. The selection of disciples from Ru Mountain mainly takes place through the three major academies established in Ancestor Dragon City.

The three major academies are open to the public, imparting some Daoist skills of the Confucian Sect, among which word-following requires reaching the Seventh Grade of the Confucian Sect to attain.

The Confucian Sect's cultivation is not akin to others, relying on its own cultivation system, beginning with self-cultivation, then condensing Vast Righteous Qi, and the Seventh Grade requires an ambition, the Sixth Grade Confucian Heart.

Word-following is a skill of the Confucian Sect that can only be achieved through cultivation to the Sixth Grade Confucian Heart Realm.

Zeng Jingtian appeared to utter only a single word, but he actually integrated an entire poem into the word, showcasing it through artistic conception.

"Break."

Zeng Jingtian once again uttered a true word, instantly forming a murderous aura behind him, followed by the emergence of a golden sense of troops and armor, with a weapon swiftly appearing to pierce through the immobilized two Golden Cores.

Instantly, the three Golden Cores of the Yu Family were annihilated.

Zeng Jingtian struck with thunderous means, eliminating the three Golden Cores of the Yu Family, then scanned the heads of several families before him.

"Anyone else considering retreat?"

Gulp.

The Zhu Family swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly, while others nearby were all petrified in silence; is the Zeng Family really so formidable?

Zeng Jingtian glanced at the several families: "Today, Li Feng must die. If he doesn't die, it will be you who perish."

"Now, exert your full strength, select a few to entangle those below, and the rest follow me to kill Li Feng."

"Anyone who dares to trick or shirk, even if you survive afterward, my Zeng Family will not spare you."

Zeng Jingtian issued a warning, and looked towards Li Feng's position, shouting coldly with murderous intent.

"Kill."

"Strike."

Qi Changfeng didn't expect this son-in-law of Zeng Jingtian to act personally, but since the son-in-law has acted, there's no turning back.

"Whoever dares to act in deceit, I will annihilate them first."

"You three families need not confront Li Feng, just keep others occupied and prevent them from aiding Li Feng; as long as Li Feng is slain, the benefits will not be divided less."

"Well, I really didn't expect the Zeng Family to produce such talents; that seventh member, Zeng Batian, had some fortuitous encounter, acquiring the Red Lotus Fire, and unexpectedly this fourth member of the Zeng Family quietly attained the Sixth Grade Confucian Heart Realm."

"At his age, achieving this level makes him eligible for selection into Ru Mountain; once entering Ru Mountain, the Zeng Family is bound to rise with the tide."

Within a window of a tavern, Liu Qing watched with surprise as Zeng Jingtian, who had just taken down three Golden Cores with a Confucian Heart Realm's word-following, truly matched his name.

Three years of silence, suddenly stunning.

Cao Shuang also nodded, faintly smiling at the corner of his mouth: "It's getting more interesting, Li Feng's unexpected actions, the Zeng Family's frequent surprises, and Bai Yi's decent skill; at least, the chess pieces he chose aren't bad."

"What do you plan to do?"

Liu Qing looked at Cao Shuang.

The current situation slightly exceeded their expectations; originally, they intended to be the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the bird behind, with Li Feng merely as the cicada.

Therefore, his life or death did not matter; they just wanted to play the role of the bird, eventually savoring the best piece.

But unexpectedly, Li Feng first broke through the bloodline barriers, displaying unparalleled bloodline power, greatly increasing his value.

This meant not only the Sikong Family desired Li Feng; whoever captured Li Feng would bestow their descendants with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline.

Just by offering a daughter, a family could acquire the Holy Beast Bloodline; who wouldn't want to do this business?

Even the Cao Family, a first-rank family, couldn't resist this temptation.

Who stipulated that the Vermilion Bird Bloodline must belong to the Sikong Family?

As for the three million Golden Spirit Stones, ha, they're just pocket change, irrelevant compared to the family's grand enterprise.

"Do you think prying away this door-to-door son-in-law from the Sikong Family is something difficult?"

Cao Shuang suddenly said.

"You mean, prying him from Sikong Yu's grasp?" Liu Qing rolled his eyes: "That Sikong Yu is among the top ten on the Earth List, despite being a woman, among her contemporaries, she's a standout among women; even among men, she leads them with pride."

"Tough to deal with."

Cao Shuang rubbed his chin: "Hmm, this marriage isn't just about fighting and killing; not necessarily who is stronger, but a woman must be gentle as water to truly win a man's favor. How do you think my sister Cao Ying fares?"

"She's also one of the ten beauties in Ancestor Dragon, surely a hundred times gentler than that violent woman Sikong Yu."

"Eh, Miss Ying?"

Liu Qing looked at Cao Shuang: "Are you sure?"

It wasn't that Liu Qing fancied Cao Ying, but as the Cao family's precious daughter, despite her gentle appearance, her inner core was icy and arrogant, far from the kind capable of lowering herself to accommodate men.

"Hmm, this matter still requires a bit of negotiation with my sister, though she and Sikong Yu have always seen eye-to-eye, overtly contending and covertly competing for years. If she learns that Sikong Yu wants Li Feng as her husband, she might be interested."

"Cough, but that depends on Li Feng surviving today; Zeng Jingtian from the Zeng Family stepped forward, clearly intent on not letting Li Feng leave this Underground Palace City."

"Haha, since he is almost my brother-in-law, I naturally won't let him die."

Cao Shuang said.

"You're not afraid of that Bai Family's Bai Yi?"

"Ha, am I afraid of him? Are you joking, I've been playing alongside him without contention, but it doesn't mean I am scared of him."

Cao Shuang sneered, although Bai Yi of the Bai Family was indeed exceptional, dismissing Cao Shuang as a wine sack and rice bag was unjustified.

"How Mt. Tai looks from Qi and Lu, remains green and unbroken..., reaching the summit allows one to view all lesser mountains."

"Suppress."

Zeng Jingtian invoked the Suppressing Technique, encompassing a poem dreaming of the mountain.

With Zeng Jingtian's word-following, it appeared as though the mountain was transported, briefly formed above Li Feng's head, followed by a direct mountain pressing down.

"I'll suppress him, you all strike with full force; the Vermilion Bird Undying Body has a limit to its endurance, if killing once doesn't work, then do it ten times or a hundred times."
