"Young Master, the Sect Leaders from the Eight Diagrams Sect and Iron Palm Sect have already set off with their disciples."

Xingyun turned to report the current situation to Lin Changge.

Lin Changge had regained his composure. As the heir of the Ancient Martial Family, he had managed to conceal his weaknesses for over twenty years. Although his skills were lacking, his intellect was undoubtedly sharp.

The reason he stumbled in such an unexpected way was simply due to his lack of understanding of Li Feng. Under normal circumstances, the stronger he was, the more humble the opposition would be, especially once they knew he was the heir of the Ancient Martial Family.

If he didn't act arrogant and overbearing, how would he intimidate others?

Would he rely on being humble?

Only those with real power can afford to be low-key. People are generally afraid of the strong and pick on the weak. Even if you are powerful, if others are unaware of it, they will challenge you.

Therefore, Lin Changge was arrogant and domineering, always putting himself above others, and he could not afford to be humble or low-key.

Lin Changge picked up his glass and took a sip, helping him to remain calm.

"I understand."

Xingyun stood by, his head bowed, and said, "As per your instructions, I've already notified the three families allied with the Lin Family, but gathering manpower will take some time."

"But, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss, Young Master? The first group to go are all martial arts experts. Even if Li Feng had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to withstand them. This isn't a duel ring, nor a one-on-one challenge."

Xingyun had witnessed Li Feng's strength firsthand, yet suggesting that Li Feng could sweep across the Yan Country's martial arts scene was impossible.

Even among this group of contestants, whether Li Feng could reach the top four was another matter.

"Do you think I'm being superfluous?"

Lin Changge asked.

Xingyun quickly lowered his head. "I dare not say, but mobilizing the three families might alarm our main sect."

Lin Changge's mouth curved into a smile.

"I once thought I had seen through Li Feng. For money and power, he was willing to become a live-in son-in-law and cling to women, seemingly having no bottom line in his climb upward."

The intel Lin Changge received was naturally sensationalized. After all, Li Feng used to be part of the Hidden Dragon, keeping a low profile in Huacheng, rarely seen or heard, so little about him was documented.

Most of the available information came from the past year, heavily embellished online, and was presented to Lin Changge after some sorting.

The Li Feng Lin Changge saw in these reports appeared to be someone who debased himself for money, willing to become a live-in son-in-law.

Later, to secure the chairman position at Century Group, he didn't hesitate to cling to women, a character without principles, unscrupulously climbing up.

"I just didn't expect..." Lin Changge recalled how he failed to subdue Li Feng, instead being trampled underfoot by him.

He even doubted whether the Li Feng in the reports was the same person he had encountered. Clearly, the Li Feng he met was reckless and defiant, not at all the scheming, manipulative social climber.

Lin Changge shook his head.

"However, he made a major mistake by kidnapping Wan'er. Though I don't know how he managed to capture her..."

"But, this gives me a justifiable reason to act, considering my sister is my father's precious jewel, the young lady of the Lin Family."

"This Li Feng dared to commit such an unthinkable act against her, then he must face the wrath of our Lin Family."

Lin Changge suddenly let out a cold laugh. Li Feng had dug his own grave. He once had no grounds to kill Li Feng, especially since he could never speak of the humiliation he suffered.

This was his long-held secret.

One could say he had to swallow his pride and endure it.

Now that Li Feng had kidnapped Lin Wan'er, what better, more righteous reason to act than to rescue his sister? No one would doubt his motives, perfectly hitting two birds with one stone.

"Even if my father finds out, it doesn't matter. Li Feng is doomed anyway, but we need to act fast to prevent him from speaking nonsense."

"Quick and decisive action."

Lin Changge's lips curled into an icy smile.

"Xingyun."

Lin Changge suddenly turned his head.

"Present."

"You mentioned before being ambushed by someone with telekinesis who was also involved with Li Feng. They were in league with him."

"Yes."

Xingyun nodded, gritting his teeth a little. "If I hadn't been ambushed and caught off guard, I wouldn't have been defeated, causing the Young Master's plans to fail."

Lin Changge looked at Xingyun.

"I'm giving you a chance for revenge. Go to Sea City, find an opportunity to take out Li Feng and the one who ambushed you...!"

Lin Changge made a slashing gesture.

"Yes, Young Master."

Xingyun gladly accepted the mission. It was the first time he had stumbled like this, resulting in such consequences, and now he was eager to eliminate the one who had ambushed him.

Sea City.

After landing at the airport in Sea City, Li Feng was met by the team led by An Xi, who greeted him inside the airport.

"Young Master."

An Xi glanced at Li Feng as he stepped off the plane, her eyes briefly scanning Lin Wan'er, who stood beside him.

Lin Wan'er was naturally aware of An Xi's gaze and snorted in arrogance.

"Let's get in the car first."

Li Feng immediately led the group into the extended bulletproof limo, and with entourage surrounding them front and back, they left the airport directly.

"Young Master, per your instructions, the New Century Group has given everyone a break, and the entire building is completely cleared."

"The building's security has been taken over by our bodyguards, and four teams of Dragon Guards have been recalled."

"Let anyone who wants to test that wall do so."

Before An Xi could finish speaking, Lin Wan'er scoffed, "This is your confidence? Hiring some bodyguards and thinking you can rest easy?"

An Xi eyed the sneering Lin Wan'er.

"Young Master, is this the Ancient Martial Family's young lady you brought back? She has quite the looks, pure and pretty, a good vase to warm your bed, I suppose."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er was furious.

A vase?

Warm a bed?

"Do you realize who you're speaking to? Seeing your coquettish old woman act is truly disgusting."

"Hah, quite the sharp-tongued one. Want me to knock out your teeth one by one and make you swallow them?"

An Xi's cold smile turned to Lin Wan'er.

"Enough."

Li Feng interrupted the verbal sparring between An Xi and Lin Wan'er and then turned to An Xi.

"We're up against the Ancient Martial World this time, about which we know little. Caution is priority. I intend for everyone I invite to have no way out."

Li Feng brought Lin Wan'er back to plan the next step, using himself as bait to assess the power of the Ancient Martial World.
