"Huo, you must have taken the wrong medicine. Our Three Great Families have always coexisted peacefully. Do you think our families are easy to bully?" One of them, dressed in luxurious clothing, said. With a round belly that made it impossible for him to see his feet while standing, and a face so plump that his neck was completely obscured, he exuded an air of grandeur. Beside him stood a tall and thin figure, looking as if he could be swept away by the wind at any moment, clearly someone agile and capable. The contrast was striking; at first glance, one might think he was weak, but appearances can be deceiving.
They were Mu Family Patriarch Muxiu and Nalan Family Head Nalan Bo.
"Old thief Mu, stop joking around. You and Nalan's brats have done something bad, and I don't believe you don't know about it. Hand over my Feng'er, or don't blame me for getting violent," Huo Lianqing said in a deep voice.
In truth, Huo Lianqing was losing his mind because his son was missing. He knew that either Muxiu or Nalan Bo was on the same level as him.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Bo beside Muxiu was startled. "No wonder Huo Lianqing is so agitated. However, Kang'er and Mu Yu have been with us all along. Who would go after their useless son? If anything, they should target their more capable juniors."
Just as he was about to speak, Muxiu interjected: "Old Huo, who would want to kill your useless son? He might have just gone out to play and been eaten by a magical beast. But more likely, he realized he was useless and committed suicide. Hahaha!" He laughed with a playful expression.
Huo Lianqing had completely lost his sanity; the Origin Force of Network Realm Level Nine erupted from him instantly, his joints cracking loudly as he clenched his fists. Leaning forward, he kicked off the ground and shot towards the two.
"Demon-Slaying Heavy Fist!"
In the blink of an eye, as he approached Muxiu and Nalan Bo, invisible currents appeared around his fists. At the same time, both fists struck out towards Muxiu and Nalan Bo's faces.
"Old man, are you serious? Do you think we are afraid of you? Today we will experience how far your mad dog has come over the years."
Muxiu also took action; having dealt with the Huo Family for so long, he knew their Combat Techniques were primarily aggressive. A light blue water curtain rose around him—this was the Mu Family's defensive Combat Technique "Water Curtain Sphere." However, this alone could not withstand the Huo Family's strongest Combat Technique "Demon-Slaying Heavy Fist." Simultaneously, he formed seals with his hands; a humid airflow rose up and quickly condensed into a spike aimed at Huo Lianqing. Not wanting to underestimate Huo Lianqing's seriousness either, he unleashed his strongest attack "Crystal Spike." At that moment, Nalan Bo's figure became illusory and vanished—this was Nalan Family's movement technique "Phantom Steps."
Seeing Nalan Bo disappear, Huo Lianqing relied on years of combat experience to redirect his fists aimed at them both towards Muxiu instead. As a result, when they collided with Muxiu's Crystal Spike, it began to crumble slowly. Just as his fists were about to penetrate Muxiu's defensive Combat Technique Water Curtain Sphere, a deadly gust of wind came from behind.
"Ghost Shadow Demon Palm!"
Sensing the threat from behind him, Huo Lianqing had no choice but to retract his fists and turn around to point.
"Raging Wind Demon Finger!"
In such a hurried response, he could not compete with the well-prepared Nalan Bo; Huo Lianqing was sent flying back several dozen steps before stabilizing himself, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At that moment, several figures flew over and arrived beside Huo Lianqing. "Patriarch, what happened?" one elder with white hair and beard asked.
Several figures approached from behind Muxiu and Nalan Bo, standing there as if they were worried that their clan leader would suffer losses due to the arrival of help from the opposite side.
At this moment, Nalan Bo stepped forward and said, "Brother Huo, we really did not harm your son. To show our sincerity, we will also send our clan members to help search."
"Stop pretending to be good people. Besides you thieves, who in Nottingham City would dare to touch my son Huo Lianqing? Hmph." He flicked his sleeve.
"Nalan, are you mistaken? Help him? Look at him! Besides, he is our sworn enemy. It would be better if his useless son died; it saves him from losing face," Muxiu said with a surprised and slightly provocative expression.
Huo Lianqing was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring. However, as he slowly recalled the earlier fight, he calmed down a bit, realizing he could not defeat the two of them. With a cold snort, he turned and headed toward the Huo Family. After being the clan leader for so many years, he still had a grasp of the overall situation; he could not let this incident drag down the entire family.
Suddenly, he stopped and said coldly, "If Mingfeng has not returned yet, you will see my wrath. Even if I die, I will peel your skin off." Indeed, in Nottingham City, who else would dare to touch the Huo Family? With that, he called out to a few people behind him and disappeared into the night sky.
"Hmph, let him boast for now. Once we obtain the treasures from the place of inheritance, we will destroy your Huo Family," Nalan Bo thought to himself and then said, "Brother Mu, let's go back and continue our discussion. We shouldn't let this old man ruin our mood."
"Alright." The two flew toward the Mu Family.
In the Huo Family's council hall, Huo Lianqing stood at the entrance looking somewhat fatigued and said, "The First Elder and Second Elder are searching within Nottingham City with a group of people. Four or five of the Six Elders have gone outside the city to look. We need to see people alive or corpses if they are dead. If anything happens, I will make them pay dearly."
At this moment, the Gray-Bearded Elder spoke up: "We must search for everyone without fail. However, I hope you can remain calm. As the clan leader, you need to consider more for the family."
"That's right, Clan Leader. You can't let an useless Huo Feng drag down the entire Huo Family," another elder who looked similar to Huo Lianqing and was about the same age said. At that moment, a powerful aura surged toward this person, causing him to spit blood and fly out of the door. Huo Lianqing instantly chased after him and stepped on his chest saying, "From now on, if I hear anyone speak ill of Feng'er again, I will cripple them."
At this time, others rushed out as well. The First Elder came beside Huo Lianqing and said: "Clan Leader, please calm down. The Six Elders only spoke out of concern for the family's safety; they are worried that you might ruin everything because of Huo Feng. Please think carefully and remain calm; we will arrange for people to search immediately."
"Hmph! Don't let me hear similar words again." He kicked aside the Six Elders and continued: "If I can't find him myself, I will go look for them without involving the entire family. Quickly send people out to search." With that, he vanished before everyone's eyes.
"Is it dark already? Did I oversleep?" Huo Feng murmured as he rubbed his eyes in the surrounding darkness.
Suddenly, everything around him lit up brightly; Huo Feng was blinded by this sudden light and closed his eyes. After a while, he slowly opened them again. Upon seeing his surroundings, he was stunned. "Am I dreaming?" was his first reaction because it was too shocking. He saw nothing but light all around him; it felt like he was standing in mid-air—indeed in mid-air—with nothing beneath his feet. Huo Feng tried to step forward with one foot but felt as if he were firmly grounded. Encouraged by this sensation, he took another step forward and found that he indeed would not fall; thus he grew bolder and began walking in one direction.
After about a quarter of an hour, Huo Feng realized that no matter how he walked, it felt like he was still in place. He stopped; if any other thirteen-year-old child saw this scene, they would surely be terrified. However, after enduring five years of ridicule and various humiliations, his temperament was far beyond that of his peers. At this moment, he sat down quietly reflecting: "I clearly came here after being beaten up on Purple Cloud Mountain and then fell asleep on a giant rock; how could it be like this? Could it be that I died from my injuries?"
"Where is this? Am I dead? Did I just die like this?" Huo Feng murmured with slight panic in his heart. After a while, he relaxed and smiled faintly: "If I'm dead then I'm dead; but where is this? At least it's better than being alive—there aren't so many annoying people here." With that thought in mind, he lay down ready to continue sleeping.
"You're quite open-minded, huh? Well, your temperament is not bad; you're a good candidate." Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed.
"Who?" Huo Feng instinctively sat up and looked around, but found nothing.
"Me? Hmm, let me think about it." The ancient voice sounded again, then fell silent.
"Is there really anything to think about? This person is so strange. Never mind that; maybe this person knows what's going on in this bizarre place. I should just ask him." With that thought, Huo Feng spoke up, "Senior, I have some questions for you."
"You want to ask why there is such a strange place, why you are here, and why I am here, and whether I have any ill intentions towards you, right?" The ancient voice immediately addressed Huo Feng's doubts.
Huo Feng looked around with anticipation, trying to see who this person was and what they looked like. However, he realized the voice seemed to come from all directions, and there was nothing around him. He had no choice but to give up and said, "Well, please guide me, Senior."
"I have appeared to tell you these things. Not only will I tell you this, but I will also provide you with great opportunities. Now I am about to reveal myself; prepare yourself mentally."
"This senior is really strange. If you're going to show yourself, just do it. Why do I need to prepare myself mentally? It wouldn't be dangerous, would it?"
As Huo Feng was thinking this, a chilling sensation washed over him. He felt the air currents around him surge forward in an instant, and he saw the space ahead ripple.
