Chapter 1236: Ouyang Patriarch

Ouyang Stone, outside of the Yuan family in Thousand Dragon City, is the head of the second-ranked family among the other nine families. He oversees a thousand cultivation experts from the Ouyang family and more than ten cultivation sects within the boundaries of Thousand Dragon City. He could be said to be a pivotal figure in the city's affairs.

Since last night at the City Lord's Mansion, after Yuan Zheng's two sons were successively injured by Lin Fei, a death order was issued to find Lin Fei at any cost.

Ouyang Stone also dispatched numerous experts to search for Lin Fei.

At this moment, Ouyang Stone was in his study, alone, sipping tea while reclining in a rattan chair.

In the soft light of the study, his hair was visibly grey at the temples, yet his eyes were like a fierce eagle in the night, exuding an aura that commanded respect.

A black Tang suit-wearing old man, looking very plain and with a restrained aura, stood silently to the side.

Ouyang Stone, while sipping his tea, casually said, "Old Xu, what do you make of this Lin Fei? How dare he break into the City Lord's Mansion at night, severely injuring the two young masters and even seizing Yuan Chun's Golden Thread Sword?"

"Patriarch, I've already instructed the sects under our Ouyang family's influence to search for information about Lin Fei within the territory of Thousand Dragon City," the old man in the black Tang suit said.

"Hmm. Find out his background as soon as possible." Ouyang Stone, his gaze deep, said, "If I am not mistaken, last night at the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Zheng's two sons had their martial abilities crippled by Lin Fei."

"Especially that Yuan Hong, who was the strongest Saint Heir in Thousand Dragon City and was expected to be the future City Lord. However, now that his martial prowess has been crippled, and Yuan Zheng's other son, Yuan Long, has also been crippled, the rest of the Yuan family's young generation is hardly noteworthy, unlikely to achieve much."

"Patriarch, both of Yuan Zheng's biological sons have had their martial skills crippled by Lin Fei. This must be a significant blow to Yuan Zheng." Old Xu showed a smile on his face.

Old Xu, who had been the Ouyang family's steward for many years, was a trusted confidant of Ouyang Stone and held a high status in the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Stone nodded, "That's right. Yuan Zheng may be unable to recover from such a blow. We must hurry to find Lin Fei, as his power should not be underestimated, enough to cause the Yuan family a headache."

At this point, a glint of ambition flashed in Ouyang Stone's eyes, "It would be ideal if we could use Lin Fei for our Ouyang family, let him bring down the Yuan family, and then, claiming to avenge the Yuan family, unite with other families to eliminate Lin Fei."

Old Xu's eyes lit up, "The Patriarch's idea is to secretly win over Lin Fei, let him help us remove the Yuan family, and then under the guise of avenging the Yuan family, unite with other families and finally eliminate Lin Fei. In this way, the position of City Lord of Thousand Dragon City will naturally belong to our Ouyang family."

Ouyang Stone's face, wrinkled and resembling that of a schemer, immediately broke into a smile, "Exactly. I've already instructed our experts to keep a close watch on the people of other families. As soon as they find Lin Fei, we can use means to secretly bring him in.

In any case, we cannot let people from other families capture Lin Fei; keeping him could be of great use."

"The Patriarch is wise!" Old Xu quickly said.

"Master Ouyang, it's truly an honor that you hold someone like me in such regard." Just then, a voice speaking with a slight smile echoed in the study.

"Who?" Ouyang Stone and Old Xu nearly shouted at the same time.

Ouyang Stone's expression instantly turned as rigid as iron, his eyes flashing like lightning as he scanned the entire study.

As the head of the second-ranked family in Thousand Dragon City, Ouyang Stone's power is second only to Yuan Zheng, reaching a remarkable level of the eighth layer of the Saint Sect.

With such power, someone had actually broken into his study without him noticing.

If the other party used a weapon in a sneak attack, he might already be dead.

At this thought, a chill ran down Ouyang Stone's spine.

Just as his gaze swept across the study, a sudden whirlwind appeared in the study.

The airflow of the whirlwind was gentle, and as it appeared, a figure emerged from it.

As the airflow dissipated, Ouyang Stone saw that it was a young man, with a trace of a smile on his face, composed and nonchalant, yet exuding an extraordinary aura.

This young man was none other than Lin Fei.

"Who are you?" Ouyang Stone placed the teacup in his hand on the tea table, his sharp gaze falling on Lin Fei's face.

Lin Fei smiled, "Master Ouyang, you were just discussing with your confidant how to use me to remove the Yuan family and how to have the Ouyang family ascend to the position of City Lord, yet you don't know who I am?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Stone and Old Xu exchanged a glance, surprise evident in their eyes.

Does this mean Lin Fei heard everything they said?

They couldn't help but wonder how long Lin Fei had been there?

But it wasn't until this moment that they realized Lin Fei's presence, indicating that his strength must be astonishing.

Ouyang Stone's heart was suddenly filled with vigilance.

"So Young Master Lin heard everything we said. Well, I, Ouyang Stone, won't shy away and will speak openly." Ouyang Stone, after all, was the head of a grand family. Despite having his plot exposed by Lin Fei, he quickly replaced his expression with a smile.

"Indeed, before Young Master Lin revealed himself, I did consider using him to help us eliminate the Yuan family, but I've changed my mind now."

Lin Fei asked with a smile, "What has Master Ouyang changed his mind about?"

Ouyang Stone said, "I want to truly collaborate with Young Master Lin. Together, we can deal with the Yuan family, and after eliminating them, Young Master Lin can become the City Lord of Thousand Dragon City. I will gladly serve as the Vice City Lord. What does Young Master Lin think?"

"Master Ouyang's idea is quite good." Lin Fei nodded, and Ouyang Stone's face immediately showed a smile. Just as he was about to thank Young Master Lin, Lin Fei suddenly changed his tone and said, "However, Master Ouyang, how can I believe that what you're saying is true?"

"How about this? I'll have you obey me first, that way you won't go back on your word."

After he finished speaking, Lin Fei watched Ouyang Stone with a smiling gaze, which made Ouyang Stone feel as if his entire body was being scrutinized.

"What do you mean?" Ouyang Stone's gaze deepened as he asked Lin Fei.

Lin Fei said, "It's simple, just follow my words and help me deal with the Yuan family."

Ouyang Stone suddenly stood up from the rattan chair, and for a moment, an overwhelming aura surged from him. He stared intently at Lin Fei, "Collaborating with me is already a compliment to you. Do you actually want the Ouyang family to follow your orders and become your servants?"

Lin Fei said indifferently, "Master Ouyang, if you think it's servitude, then it is servitude."

"How arrogant, kid!" At this moment, Old Xu, standing to the side in the black Tang suit, shouted angrily, and his entire person shot forward like a leopard, terrifyingly fast. His fist suddenly displayed a shadow of a fierce leopard's head, with its mouth open wide and fangs menacing.

The terrifying Holy Qi Power almost instantly filled the entire study.

Old Xu's eyes were wide open with anger, his grey hair flying, and the power of this punch was indeed earth-shattering.
