Venerable Martial Emperor

"Feng, you've taken the 'Explosive Yuan Pill' before, your bones are damaged, this' Profound Origin Pill 'should be effective if you take one."    

Xu Feng refused, saying that if he needed it in the future, he would ask Shifu to help him refine it. After saying this, he was still worried that Xu Yonghui would not believe him, but Xu Feng even took out that Profound Essence Fruit on his body.    

Apart from being shocked, the only thing Xu Yonghui could do was admire Master Yun. At this moment, he did not have the mood to dig deeper.    

After listening to the report of Xu Feng's trip outside of the city, Xu Yonghui heaved a huge sigh of relief.    

"I didn't expect that Master Yun would be able to refine the Profound Yuan Pill in time at such a critical moment. Furthermore, it was three of them at once! If the heavens didn't kill my Xu family, hahaha! Cough cough..."    

When he spoke of his excitement, Xu Yonghui coughed out blood once again.    

"Father, I have an urgent matter to request an audience."    

At this moment, a voice was heard. Xu Tianci didn't even knock on the door. As he spoke, he pushed open the door and entered.    

Xu Yonghui coughed out blood. He had seen everything.    

"As expected, the old man's injuries have worsened... He coughed due to anger? Xu Feng, let's see how you're going to quibble! You even hid it from me, you really don't treat me as your own son. Then don't blame me for being impolite!"    

Xu Tianci's eyes flickered. His expression was indeterminate as he stared at Xu Yonghui. At the same time, he thought to himself.    

"Cough cough... What's the emergency? Speak!"    

Xu Yonghui asked with a frown.    

"Father, the Hong family has sent a large group of people to control the Xu family's market. They have seized a lot of resources from us. We were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties..."    

Xu Tianci's report made Xu Yonghui realize that the situation was critical.    

"The Hong family has completely shed all pretenses of cordiality! Master, I request that we send out our full force and fight to the death with the Hong family! As long as you can defeat that old fool Hong Annshi again and make him remember, the Xu family's crisis will be resolved."    

Hong Tianci did not ask how Xu Yonghui's injuries were and whether he had the confidence to defeat him again. He directly brought up his idea.    

Xu Yonghui's brows knitted even more tightly. This matter was of utmost importance, and he had to consider it.    

Xu Tianci nodded in agreement, then looked at Xu Feng, beginning to make things difficult for him.    

"Xu Feng, Young Patriarch, in this crisis of our family, the entire Xu family has contributed. Only you... not only have you disappeared for a day and a night, you have not contributed even an inch of your strength. You must have lost Young Patriarch's responsibility, right?"    

Xu Feng could hear the meaning behind Xu Tianci's words.    

"What does the Great Elder want me to do?" Xu Feng asked directly.    

"Your cultivation base is weak, so you won't be of much help. But you still have Young Patriarch's name. Tomorrow, you will go to the market with us and fight against the enemy. Do you have any objections? "    

Logically speaking, although Xu Tianci was the Great Elder, he wouldn't be able to command Xu Feng.    

Furthermore, Xu Tianci was giving orders to Xu Feng in front of the patriarch. This was the same as before, and he did not put Xu Yonghui in his eyes.    

Xu Yonghui's face darkened, and just as he was about to say something, Xu Feng agreed to the order, which was out of Xu Tianci's expectation.    

"Xu Feng, if you don't keep your promise, I will start the meeting of the elders and make sure you don't become this Young Patriarch!"    

Xu Tianci sneered. He half-heartedly cupped his hands and bid farewell to Xu Yonghui before swaggering away.    

"Not a son, not a son! At this moment, you are still thinking about internal strife. You should have crippled his position as Great Elder a long time ago!"    

Xu Yonghui stamped his foot. Xu Tianci's performance had caused his heart to turn cold.    

"Feng, there's no need to wait until tomorrow morning. Before the third hour, you must take your men with you and leave the city. No matter what, you can't let anything happen to you. As long as you are still alive, there is still hope for the Xu family..."    

"Grandfather, Master Yun is about to break through. With these two Profound Rank Restoration Pills, your injuries will surely improve after a period of seclusion. By then, will we still be afraid of the Hong family? It will only take three days. What can happen to me?"    

No matter what, Xu Feng didn't want to be afraid before the battle started, so he immediately retreated.    

Xu Yonghui was still full of worries. He shook his head and said, "The Hong family has been acting strangely lately. I have a bad feeling about this. Even if my injuries are slightly healed, I can still fight Hong Annshi and even defeat him. Perhaps, the crisis of our Xu family won't be resolved. "    

Xu Yonghui and Hong Annshi were old enemies, so he knew his opponent very well. Furthermore, as the patriarch of Xu family, he had been protecting his family for so many years. His' premonition 'was definitely not something that came out of nowhere.    

It was based on various signs and some undetectable clues that he deduced it. It was just that there was no conclusive evidence.    

Xu Feng seemed to be deep in thought, and he agreed with Xu Yonghui's words.    

"Could it be... The Xu family also has a hidden trump card?" Xu Feng said.    

"With Master Yun's help, the crisis of the Xu family will be lessened. But Feng, we have to prepare for the worst. You... If anything happens to you, not only will you disappoint the entire Xu family, and to your mother who made such a great sacrifice for you ten years ago..."    

Xu Feng didn't expect Xu Yonghui to mention his mother at this moment.    

"Grandpa... you are still talking about this at a time like this. If mother knew that I am a heartless and heartless person who doesn't care about family, wouldn't she feel even more ashamed of me if I was born as a human being instead of a son?"    

Xu Feng used the words Xu Yonghui had used to evaluate Xu Tianci to describe himself. It could be said that it was very serious.    

If he didn't become her son, he wouldn't be worthy of being a human being!    

Xu Yonghui finally realized the determination and character in his grandson's heart. He no longer tried to persuade Xu Feng to leave.    

"You have to be careful of your big uncle. During my seclusion, the Second Elder can't control the people of his faction."    

Xu Yonghui reminded and reminded Xu Feng.    

"Grandfather, don't worry. I understand."    

Xu Yonghui told Xu Feng that with these two Profound Rank Restoration Pills, he would at least be able to control his injuries and recover to a stable early Martial Essence Stage.    

Xu Yonghui went into seclusion. Xu Feng, who had not slept for the whole day, returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.    

Martial artists below the Martial Essence Stage still couldn't use meditation to recover their essence, energy, and spirit to replace sleep.    

The next morning, Xu Feng woke up early and went straight to the martial arts field.    

One could not slack off on the road of martial arts.    

Even before he obtained any fortuitous encounters in the mass burial mound, Xu Feng never stopped cultivating secretly outside the heavy medicinal garden every day.    

It was just that he had been suffering from the lack of resources and was suppressed, so his realm had not been able to break through. However, Xu Feng's foundation was extremely good.    

The entire Xu family was in a state of anxiety. Many people were in a state of panic, especially the young disciples who had never experienced many conflicts and life and death battles. How could they still have the mood to cultivate in such a tense moment?    

There were only a few people in the Martial Arts Practice Hall. When they saw Xu Feng, all of them went forward to greet him with a respectful attitude.    

The Xu family had gained a lot from Xu Feng's trip to Ululating Mountain. Besides the death of Xu Lei and the other two elders, the rest of them had returned safely. The one with the most serious injuries was only the flesh wound. And the injury was healed very quickly.    

The people of Xu family who weren't part of the Great Elder's faction had high expectations for Young Patriarch. Among the young disciples, Xu Feng's reputation had quickly surpassed Xu Lei's.    

Most of them were trying to flatter and flatter Xu Lei. They were afraid that Xu Lei's son would be arrogant and domineering because of his father's power. However, the disciples of Xu family were in awe of Xu Feng from the bottom of their hearts.    

With strength and schemes, not only did he not bully his fellow disciples, he even helped them a lot. It was only natural for Young Patriarch to be supported and acknowledged by them.    

There were all kinds of supplementary cultivation equipment in the martial arena. With so many people gathered together, it would be convenient for them to exchange pointers with the seniors of their families.    

An hour later, Xu Feng was drenched in sweat. Just as he was about to return to his residence, a deacon hurriedly came to find him.    

"Young Patriarch, I've finally found you."    

Xu Feng remembered this deacon. He was the second elder, Xu Hongyu. His surname was Lu.    

The Xu family was a big family. Apart from the surname Xu, there were also many people with other surnames. However, their status was lower than the main family's direct line of descent.    

There were people with different surnames who had married into the Xu family, and there were also servants with humble backgrounds who had spread their branches and leaves in the Xu family. Their status had been promoted, and they had become vassals of the branch families.    

"Deacon Lu, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"    

Xu Feng asked when he saw that the newcomer was in a hurry and had an anxious expression on his face.    

"The Second Elder and the Great Elder are having a discussion in the main hall of the family's higher ups. The Great Elder is too strong. Now that the Patriarch is in secluded cultivation, and the enemy is in front of us, the Second Elder would like to invite Young Patriarch over to uphold justice."    

Deacon Lu did not look down on Xu Feng because he was a young man. He was very respectful and humble in front of Xu Feng.    

Xu Feng frowned and did not say anything. He followed Elder Lu to the main hall.    

"As expected, Xu Tianci is causing trouble again. Can't we just wait? Could it be that he is targeting me?"    

Yesterday, he had just said that Xu Feng was going to participate in the battle with Hong family. He couldn't wait to seize power early in the morning. Could it be that Xu Tianci didn't know that if he went too far and the family head got involved, it wouldn't end well for him?    

Or could it be that Xu Tianci was trying to force Xu Yonghui to come out and seize the opportunity to seize the authority of Xu family, and also wanted to disturb Xu Yonghui's seclusion?    

Also, he wanted to get rid of Xu Feng, who was a thorn in his side.    

In the main hall of the Xu family, Xu Tianci sat at the head of the main hall.    

Even Young Patriarch, who was the future heir of the Xu family, had never sat at this position.    

This position was the symbol of the family head's status. Although there was no clear rule in the family, this rule had always been tacitly approved by the generations.    

Xu Tianci dared to sit high in the seat of honor because of the large group of people sitting on the left side of the hall.    

There were elders with white hair, peak Martial Arts Ninth Layer warriors from the Xu family, and elders who controlled the financial and resource allocation of the family.    

All of them were the upper echelons of the Xu family, and they represented the Xu family.    

These people supported Xu Tianci, and he had the confidence to sit high and mighty in the position that he shouldn't have.    

On the right, led by the Second Elder, there were only a few elders. The number of peak combat strength and elders with real power was also much smaller than that of the Great Elder.    

"Xu Tianci, although you are the Great Elder, at such a critical moment, you have to be careful when making a move. Everything should be decided by the Patriarch. Your decision is arbitrary and unreasonable. Forgive us for not obeying your orders!"    

The Second Elder was filled with righteous indignation and refuted Xu Tianci.
