Zhou Yan's eyebrows flicked up, and a terrifying glint suddenly shot from his eyes.
"I will not allow you to insult my friend."
"If you dare to insult my friend, I will destroy your Huangfu family!"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Huangfu Yunhai immediately sneered.
"Hahaha, who do you think you are? You're just a mere ant at the fourth stage of Innate Realm, and you dare to claim you'll destroy my Huangfu family? If you don't want to die, kneel down now and call me grandpa, and perhaps I'll consider sparing your life."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will tear you to pieces and make you die a miserable death!"
Zhou Yan's pupils suddenly constricted, and a murderous intent flashed out.
"Zhou Yan, since you refuse to submit, then do not blame us for being ruthless!"
With that, an elder behind the middle-aged man suddenly darted out and struck at Zhou Yan with his palm.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Yan stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the floor instantly cracked.
"Rumble!"
With a deafening sound, Zhou Yan shot out like a cannonball and crashed heavily against the wall.
"Pfft!"
He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Not only that, but there was also a bloodstain on Zhou Yan's face, and it was clear that one of his teeth had fallen out.
Clearly, this blow had inflicted great damage on Zhou Yan.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan's cheeks were swollen, making him look extremely disheveled.
"Hahahaha, I thought Zhou Yan was so powerful, but it turns out he's just a pig, easily defeated by a few moves from our Huangfu family."
"Indeed, it seems our Huangfu family has truly struck gold."
The surrounding onlookers also mocked him without restraint.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, Zhou Yan could no longer endure the throbbing pain within his body. He involuntarily curled up, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his arms.
However, he seemed oblivious to the pain.
Instead, his face was filled with a mad glint.
"All of you from the Huangfu family deserve to die!"
With that, he fiercely waved his palm, and a surge of scorching flames spewed out, transforming into a raging inferno that swept towards everyone.
This scene instantly caused the faces of the Huangfu family members to turn ashen, and they rapidly retreated.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The power of the inferno was astonishing, and in an instant, it caught up with them.
Everyone resisted, but the temperature of the flames was truly terrifying.
The moment they touched the flames, the disciples of the Huangfu family were sent flying backward.
"Rumble!"
A series of muffled explosions resounded as the disciples of the Huangfu family were sent flying, crashing through houses, falling to the ground, and groaning in pain.
In this brief exchange, the Huangfu family members were routed by Zhou Yan, with over thirty casualties.
The remaining people were so terrified that their livers and gallbladders almost split. They dared not stay any longer and quickly fled from Zhou Yan's courtyard, fearing another encounter.
Watching them flee in panic, Zhou Yan let out a cold snort, swept his gaze around, and then turned to walk towards his house.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Just as he reached the door of the house, it was kicked open, and Huangfu Qingyun's figure walked in.
His eyes were filled with resentment, and he said coldly, "Zhou Yan, I'm warning you, this is your last chance. As long as you kneel before me and kowtow three times to admit your mistake, and hand over your storage ring and spirit stones, I won't kill you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's lips curled into a mocking smile and he said, "Do you really think your Huangfu family can suppress me?"
"Do you think I'm the kind of coward who fears death?"
Hearing this, Huangfu Qingyun's expression turned ugly, and he coldly reprimanded, "Zhou Yan, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I'll give you two seconds to consider. If you still don't agree, then I won't care about your brotherhood anymore."
"One!"
Zhou Yan calmly uttered a single word, his gaze icy as he looked at Huangfu Qingyun.
Seeing Zhou Yan's gaze, Huangfu Qingyun's eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Zhou Yan, I'll give you a chance. You only need to kowtow, admit your mistake, and hand over all your spirit stones, storage rings, and spiritual artifacts, and I'll let you go."
Upon hearing the voice, Huangfu Qingyun's body trembled slightly, and his gaze shifted to the source of the sound.
He saw that in a secluded courtyard of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Yunfeng slowly emerged, his eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flickering within them.
A playful expression appeared on Zhou Yan's face.
He looked at Huangfu Yunfeng and said sarcastically, "Do you think you can represent the Huangfu family? Huangfu Yunfeng, you're truly naive. Don't you know my personality? Do you think I would change my mind just because of a single word from your Huangfu family?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Huangfu Yunfeng frowned slightly.
"Then what exactly do you want?" Huangfu Yunfeng asked.
Zhou Yan looked at him indifferently and said, "You want to kill me, but with your current strength, you probably can't do it, right? I only need one thing from your Huangfu family now."
"Oh? What thing?" Huangfu Yunfeng asked.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "The Ancestral Master Token of the Huangfu family!"
"What?" Hearing these three words, Huangfu Qingyun's expression froze.
The Ancestral Master Token of their Huangfu family represented the highest authority and status within the Huangfu clan.
Throughout the history of the Huangfu family, there had been several families that possessed the Ancestral Master Token.
However, their strength was too weak to protect the Ancestral Master Token, and they eventually degenerated into ordinary noble families.
Now, Zhou Yan was making such a demand, filling Huangfu Yunfeng with confusion.
Who exactly was this Zhou Yan?
Zhou Yan seemed to have guessed Huangfu Yunfeng's thoughts and immediately sneered, saying, "Don't stare at me with such a strange look. The reason I'm making this demand is so that you can help me keep a secret. If your Huangfu family doesn't agree, then I will immediately kill you and destroy the evidence. Even if my father returns, he won't be able to find you. "
"If you agree, then I will return the Ancestral Master Token to you and guarantee that not a single piece of information will be leaked."
"Are you telling the truth?" Hearing this, Huangfu Qingyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
This Ancestral Master Token was the foundation of their Huangfu family, and it absolutely could not be compromised. If anything were to happen, their entire Huangfu family would be in trouble.
