Chapter 1229 1229: The City Lord's Fury

After listening to Yuan Chun's words, Yuan Zheng seemed to remember his son, Yuan Hong, and asked Yuan Chun, "Fourth brother, where is Yuan Hong?"

Yuan Chun looked guilty and pointed to Yuan Hong lying on the ground in the distance, saying, "Big brother, Yuan Hong is there."

Yuan Zheng's figure flashed, and the next moment he was beside Yuan Hong.

"Father..." Seeing his father in front of him, Yuan Hong called to Yuan Zheng in a weak voice.

Yuan Zheng's brow had already furrowed; his son had always been formidable, receiving respect from others.

Never had he seen his son like this, lying on the ground, unable to stand, speaking in a voice as weak as a breeze.

He struggled to calm his turbulent emotions, squatted down, and asked with concern, "Yuan Hong, are you okay?"

As he spoke, he reached out, placed his hand on Yuan Hong's wrist, and his complexion changed instantly as he looked at his son: "Yuan Hong, you..."

But Yuan Zheng didn't say the words, "How come there's no power?" His fingers were placed on Yuan Hong's wrist, originally intending to check his internal injuries.

However, upon investigation, he found no signs of any sacred energy in his son's meridians, and when he urged his sacred energy to probe further, he discovered no trace of sacred energy within Yuan Zheng either.

This indicated that Yuan Hong's powers were completely gone, which was the reason for Yuan Zheng's drastic change in expression.

Nevertheless, Yuan Hong, as the eldest son of the City Lord, being powerless, would not only ruin Yuan Hong's future but also be a huge blow to the Yuan family.

Therefore, Yuan Zheng swallowed those words back.

Tears of grief welled in Yuan Hong's eyes as he looked at his father and said, "Father, you must kill Lin Fei for me, avenge me!"

"Hmm, son, rest assured, I will definitely kill that boy to avenge you, and I'll find a way to heal you," Yuan Zheng said with a determined gaze.

His words carried a double meaning, hinting to his son that he would find a way to restore Yuan Hong's martial skills.

Hope shimmered in Yuan Hong's eyes, "Father, I understand."

Just then, a crowd of guards from the Yuan family, cultivation experts, quickly rushed in through the courtyard gate, led by several Yuan family young masters.

They had rushed over from the dungeon, initially trying to deal with Lin Fei, but Lin Fei had escaped without a trace, leaving them to search in vain.

Until the massive disturbances and distress signals emerged from the Saintess Hall, they realized Lin Fei had come here and hurried over.

"City Lord!" The young masters of the Yuan family saw Yuan Zheng and immediately called out respectfully.

At the City Lord's Mansion, the rule was that when outsiders were present, the juniors and servants had to address him as City Lord, except for Yuan Zheng's children.

But without outsiders present, they could call him by his familial rank.

Yuan Zheng was immersed in the sorrow and anger of his son's severe injuries and the abolition of his martial arts, seemingly oblivious to the juniors' greeting, making no response.

The young masters exchanged a glance and dared not speak further, turning to call to their fathers, Second Master, Third Master, and Fourth Master of the Yuan family: "Father!"

Yuan Kun and the others nodded to their sons.

As the fathers and sons greeted each other, from the other side of the courtyard, another group of Yuan family cultivation experts entered through the round gate.

They supported Yuan Long, who had regained consciousness and appeared a bit weak, along with two elders.

"Father..." Spotting Yuan Zheng, Yuan Long broke away from the experts supporting him, stumbling towards Yuan Zheng.

Yuan Zheng stood up, looking at his extremely weak son, a sense of foreboding arose: could it be...

Thinking this, Yuan Zheng seized Yuan Long's wrist, sacred energy probing into Yuan Long's body, and upon silently investigating Yuan Long's condition inside, Yuan Zheng's eyes filled with horror.

"Father, my martial arts were abolished by Lin Fei..." Before Yuan Zheng could react, Yuan Long tearfully said to him.

Upon this revelation, the family heads of the nine great families and their cultivation experts burst into discussion.

"What, the City Lord's second son's martial arts were abolished?"

"Could it be the same person who injured the City Lord's eldest son and stole Fourth Master's Golden Snake Sword?"

"Who exactly is this Lin Fei?"

Yuan Zheng's face turned extremely ugly; he didn't expect Yuan Long to reveal the abolition of his martial arts in front of the nine families.

This made concealing the matter impossible.

Moreover, Yuan Long's tearfully dramatic display practically humiliated him.

Slap!

Suddenly, Yuan Zheng slapped Yuan Long hard across the face.

The slap stunned Yuan Long and shocked everyone around, puzzled as to why Yuan Zheng hit Yuan Long.

"As my son, not only did you lose to some unknown person, but you also cried like this, which disappoints me greatly." Yuan Zheng coldly reprimanded Yuan Long.

Then, without looking at Yuan Long again, he took a few steps forward, his icy, sharp gaze sweeping over his brothers Yuan Kun, Yuan Lu, Yuan Chun, and the family heads of the nine great families, saying, "Tonight, you will search every inch of Thousand Dragon City and within a hundred-mile radius to find Lin Fei for me. I will tear him apart!"

Yuan Kun and the others could sense the terrifying killing intent and overwhelming fury from Yuan Zheng.

Their faces changed slightly, and they all cupped their fists, saying, "Yes, City Lord (Big Brother)!"

Subsequently, the family heads of the nine families led their cultivation experts out of the courtyard, commencing the search across Thousand Dragon City.

Meanwhile, Yuan Kun and his brothers led many Yuan family cultivation experts, also departing the City Lord's Mansion, starting their search within a hundred-mile radius around Thousand Dragon City.

As the Yuan family forces and the nine-family forces scoured Thousand Dragon City and its vicinity for Lin Fei, Lin Fei and Jin Zongfan had quietly returned to the Wan family's estate in Thousand Dragon City.

Upon returning to the estate, Lin Fei went to the courtyard pavilion where he lived and told Jin Zongfan he needed to rest, heading up to the second floor.

However, full of questions, Jin Zongfan asked Lin Fei, "Master, did something major happen at the City Lord's Mansion tonight?"

Although Lin Fei had remained silent on the way back, Jin Zongfan dared not ask much.

Yet, Jin Zongfan was aware of the massive events at the City Lord's Mansion tonight, such as the distress signals in the sky and the numerous cultivation experts soaring towards the City Lord's Mansion.

This indicated that something significant must have occurred there.

Lin Fei merely said calmly, "Hmm, it seems something did happen at the City Lord's Mansion, but I don't know what. It's late, we should rest. It's best if you don't know what happened at the City Lord's Mansion."

After speaking, Lin Fei continued up to the second floor.

Jin Zongfan watched Lin Fei's back with a face full of questions: What exactly happened at the City Lord's Mansion?

Why does Lin Fei suggest it's better if he doesn't know?
