Yang Guang led the Heaven Wave Gang members to retreat like a tide.

And with Yang Guang's shout, Song Zhaoming's face turned ashen.

He remembered, how, how could it be Han Buyan?

How is he still alive?

At that moment, Song Zhaoming shivered inside. He felt that the actions of the three families were a joke, a colossal joke. He didn't even feel the urge for revenge.

That was Han Buyan.

"Patriarch, what should we do?"

"Withdraw."

Song Zhaoming's voice was filled with fear and helplessness. If they really provoked him, they wouldn't even know how they died!

Seeing the other two families retreat so quickly, Cheng Fei realized something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat.

In an instant, the dozens of experts surrounding the Xia Family scattered and retreated like a tide. In moments, they were completely gone, as if they had never been there.

This scene left the other Suhang forces watching around dumbfounded. What was going on?

They had arrived with such momentum, deploying so many people, practically all of their family's power came forth. But why, at this moment, did they retreat so quickly?

That old man came out, said a few words, and in about a minute, the three major families of Suhang all withdrew?

Who the hell would believe that if it were told, a word to retreat thousands of enemies?

Even if they didn't believe it, they had to report back with this news. Soon, the news spread throughout all Suhang.

This incident became the subject of discussion among the various factions in Suhang, turning the actions of the three families into a joke.

A disappointing ending overshadowed by an old man's few words.

The status and reputation of the three families suffered a significant blow, providing other forces with opportunities. But many speculated, who exactly was that old man?

Cheng Fei returned to the Cheng Family and went straight into a room where Cheng was still sitting, his silver hair particularly striking.

"Back?"

"Yes."

Cheng Fei composed himself and then recounted his entire experience.

When he mentioned the old man exposing the Song Family's background, Cheng's previously calm face slightly furrowed. When he mentioned Yang Guang's background being exposed, the rustic teacup in his hand paused, emitting steaming heat.

"Grandpa, when I asked his name at last, he said his surname was Han, given name Buyan."

"What?"

Cheng seemed taken aback, the teacup in his hand slipping and shattering.

Cheng Fei was startled. He had never seen his grandfather so lost in composure.

"He said his name is Han Buyan?"

Cheng stood up with a start, his face full of gravity and disbelief.

"Yes." Cheng Fei nodded.

For a moment, Cheng remained silent, the room filled with stillness once more.

Cheng Fei couldn't hold back and asked, "Grandfather, who is this Han Buyan?"

Cheng was silent for a moment, "He is someone who cannot be mentioned."

Cheng sighed, "I never thought he'd still be alive, much less have ties with the Xia Family. It was indeed an error in judgment. Our Cheng Family must be cautious from now on."

"Grandfather, can you explain a bit more? I'm quite curious now." Cheng Fei's heart was anxious, just who is Han Buyan?

"Fei, remember, restraining curiosity is a prerequisite to achieving great things." Suddenly, Cheng spoke coldly.

Cheng Fei shivered, then respectfully said, "Yes."

Looking at Cheng Fei, the silver-haired Cheng's heart softened, "Alright, Fei, have a seat, and I'll tell you."

"Han Buyan, twenty-four years ago, slashed through a hundred experts with one sword, wiped out twenty families. For a time, blood flowed like a river, and he became famed in Yanjing." Cheng slowly explained, his words shocking Cheng Fei.

"Even though the higher-ups were furious, they couldn't do anything to Han Buyan, for his status was too exalted. Later, Han Buyan left Yanjing and disappeared."

Cheng spoke faintly, and Cheng Fei, curious, held back from speaking further.

With a look of appreciation, Cheng modestly said, "Fei, figures like us can only look up to him. He was once the pinnacle of Huaxia's power; the title of Huaxia Sword God was well-earned."

Cheng Fei took a deep breath, even though his grandfather's words were brief and simple, he could still feel the freedom and boldness of Han Buyan's past heroic deeds.

"Remember, don't provoke the Xia Family. With Han Buyan around, no one dares to touch them. As for your feud with Ren Feng, let it go."

"Yes."

Song Zhaoming also returned to the Song Family, locking himself in the study in anger.

Bang!

Everything on the desk was swept to the floor.

"Why is Han Buyan here?" Song Zhaoming's face twisted with rage, yet the fear in his eyes lingered.

With Han Buyan around, he couldn't move nor even have the thought to move.

Everything in the study was in disarray as Song Zhaoming caught his breath and calmed down.

After a moment of silence, Song Zhaoming's face was only left with unwillingness.

Even if you're Han Buyan, this matter won't be forgotten easily!

...

Meanwhile, Ren Feng watched in curiosity as the others retreated like a tide after the old man said just a few words.

"Old man, what did you say that made them all retreat?"

"Brat, why, interested in learning?" The old man seemed a bit smug.

"Of course," Ren Feng chuckled.

"But I'm not telling you." The old man laughed heartily and went to play chess with Xia Yunlong.

Ren Feng felt frustrated with the old man.

Thus, the matter passed, and peace returned to Suhang. Besides the three families, everyone was speculating whether the Xia Family had allied with a fearsome figure.

After a few calm days, the old man left only a letter and departed from the Xia Family.

He left silently.

When Ren Feng entered the old man's room, he was a bit disgruntled. Why didn't the old man say something before leaving and act so mysteriously?

However, upon seeing the letter on the table, he couldn't help but feel warm.

The old man was still seeking a solution to the Nine Yang Tribulation, showing deep concern for his matters.

Xia Yunlong seemed accustomed to it, only lamenting the loss of a good chess partner.

Just as Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue were planning to leave Suhang that day, Jiang Xiangwen arrived.
