More and more martial artists entered the Shanfeng Villa.
Four to five hundred people, no less.
That's right, everyone who came today was from the martial arts world.
In an ordinary city, these people would all be figures who could stand on their own.
They whispered and chattered, some talking and laughing, while others appeared to be facing a great enemy.
There were people of all three generations, old, middle-aged, and young…
Before long, the master of Shanfeng Villa slowly emerged.
Wu Shanfeng!
Dressed in a white Tang suit, his presence was imposing.
Although over seventy, he still looked like he was in his forties or fifties.
Upon seeing everyone, he showed a smile.
"Your presence here today truly gives me, Wu, great face!"
"Thank you!"
Wu Shanfeng said in a feigned manner.
"Heh, one must give face to the Wu family!"
"Exactly!"
"The strength of a hidden aristocratic family should not be underestimated!"
"Who says otherwise!"
"Old Master Wu, let's get straight to the point, how will the Fire Lingzhi be divided?"
"Surely, such a heavenly treasure cannot be monopolized by your Wu family!"
"What are you saying? Is the Wu family the kind of people?"
"Damn…"
All sorts of voices emerged, ceaseless.
Some of the remarks made Wu Shanfeng very angry, but out of consideration for his reputation, he endured it.
"Rest assured, everyone is gathered here today precisely to resolve this matter!"
Wu Shanfeng said with a smile.
"Resolve? How will it be resolved?"
"Indeed, stop just talking!"
"How do we feel that you four major families have other ulterior motives?"
"Gathering us at Shanfeng Villa, you're afraid we'll snatch it, aren't you?"
"Most likely!"
"Who says not? People's hearts are not what they used to be!"
"Besides, we all have the right to compete, why should we listen to the Wu family?"
"Is it simply because they are a hidden aristocratic family? If that's the case, I'm not convinced!"
With so many people, they all spoke at once, saying whatever came to mind.
Wu Shanfeng naturally hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.
It was almost out of control.
After all, people's hearts were not easy to control!
An Ye in the crowd also smiled and muttered, "It seems no one is foolish!"
"They can see through the tricks!"
Chen Fan said with a half-smile, "Let's wait and see!"
Before long, another elder walked out. This elder had fierce eyes and exuded an unkind aura.
"All of you, shut up!"
He roared.
Because his voice contained internal energy, it carried a sense of pressure.
The elder who walked out was Shui Zhuo.
The head of the Shui family, a hidden aristocratic family.
Shui Zhuo immediately continued cursing, "What are you all shouting about? Do you think shouting will get you what you want?"
His attitude was completely different from Wu Shanfeng's.
At this moment, Wu Shanfeng's expression also turned grim. He stared at the crowd around him, and gradually, a hint of murderous intent emerged in his eyes.
However, it was fleeting…
From the crowd, Chen Fan captured it and squinted, "Just now, that old man surnamed Wu showed murderous intent!"
"Murderous intent?"
An Ye frowned and muttered, "You mean, to kill people?"
Chen Fan nodded. "Now, I probably understand why they gathered all of us at Shanfeng Villa!"
An Ye also understood now, and her heart trembled, "Do they really dare?"
Chen Fan responded, "What is there that they don't dare to do? Only the dead will not have competition!"
As the two spoke…
Though the crowd had quieted down, everyone harbored a suppressed anger.
All because of Shui Zhuo's attitude just now, the situation on the field was silently changing…
