183: Chapter 183 Expelling People
Chen Hu used his Spiritual Sense to scan the area and discovered a pair of young man and woman who had been invited into the front courtyard.
Judging by their attire, this pair of young man and woman were not ordinary people.
Moreover, the swords they held were divine weapons, and Intermediate divine weapons at that.
Besides that, they also brought along guards, servants, and maids.
The four guards were all in the Bone Refining Realm, and the servants and maids were also Martial Artists, though their Realm was not high, only in the Flesh Refining Realm.
Eye of Insight activated.
The identity and cultivation information of the two appeared in Chen Hu's mind.
The man was named Feng Chengyu, and the woman was named Feng Wenge.
The former was 23 years old with a cultivation of Early-stage Bone-Refining Realm, and the latter was 19 years old with a cultivation of Mid-stage Bone Refining.
As for their identities.
They were from a Blood Refining family in Lingzhou City.
"Invite them to the Reception Hall; I will be there shortly!"
Before long.
Chen Hu arrived at the Reception Hall.
Upon seeing him, the Feng siblings stood up to greet him: "I am Feng Chengyu, greetings to Gang Leader Chen. This is my younger sister, Feng Wenge!"
"Greetings, Young Master Feng, Young Miss Feng. Please, take a seat!"
Chen Hu responded with a smile and invited the two to sit.
Subsequently, a maid served tea.
"Young Master Feng, may I ask what brings you and your sister here?" Chen Hu pretended not to know, though in reality, he already knew.
Last night's intelligence card had revealed information about a Lingzhou family coming to recruit him.
Unsurprisingly, the Feng siblings were here representing the Feng family to recruit him.
Feng Chengyu smiled and said: "I heard that Gang Leader Chen has ascended to the 22nd place on the hidden dragon ranking, so I came to pay my respects. Indeed, meeting in person is better than hearing of one's reputation."
"Young Master Feng, you flatter me!"
Chen Hu said modestly: "Young Master Feng's strength is also impressive; haven't you also ascended to the hidden dragon ranking?"
"I am far inferior to Gang Leader Chen!" Feng Chengyu shook his head and said.
He had indeed ascended to the hidden dragon ranking, but he was ranked quite low, only at 95th place.
Afterward, the two chatted casually.
They talked about others on the hidden dragon ranking and discussed the various major forces in Lingzhou.
As for Feng Wenge, she listened from the side without the slightest sign of impatience.
This was quite surprising to Chen Hu; it seemed the upbringing in these great families was quite good, as they weren't acting arrogant just because of their noble status.
After chatting for a while.
Feng Chengyu was also preparing to get to the main topic.
But just at this moment.
A guard rushed in to report.
"Gang Leader, there is someone outside claiming to be from the Lingzhou Wu Family. He wants to see you and demands that you go out to welcome him!"
Because Granny Long herself belonged to a major Lingzhou force.
Therefore, Chen Hu had also obtained quite a bit of information from her about the top forces in Lingzhou.
In Lingzhou, there were a total of ten major forces.
Mingjian Villa was one of them.
This top ten forces included Jianghu Schools and Martial Arts Families.
Among these top ten forces, six were Martial Arts Families.
The other four forces were Jianghu Schools.
The six Martial Arts Families were all settled in Lingzhou City: the Feng Family, Mo Family, Liu Family, Zhao Family, Wu Family, and Yuan Family.
Among them, the first four were established Blood Refining families.
The Wu Family and Yuan Family were up-and-comers.
Among them, the Zhao Family had the most formidable strength, because the current head of the Zhao Family, Governor-General Zhao Tianqing, was the Governor-General of Lingzhou, the number one person in military and political affairs; it would not be an exaggeration to call him a powerful regional official.
As for the other four Blood Refining Jianghu forces, they were Mingjian Villa, Wanhua Valley, Medicine King Valley, and Changqing Sect.
"Brother Feng, how much do you know about this Wu Family?"
Chen Hu asked, looking at Feng Chengyu.
Feng Chengyu said: "The Wu Family is a newly risen Blood Refining family; they have not risen for more than twenty years. Before this, the head of the Wu Family, like Brother Chen, was involved in Gangs. If I am not mistaken, the Wu Family also holds the same purpose as our Feng Family—they are both here to recruit Brother Chen.
However, compared to established families like ours, even if the recruitment fails, we can still be friends.
But the Wu Family is different."
Speaking of this, Feng Chengyu paused: "Brother Chen, why don't you go and see the Wu Family's style of conduct first, and then we can continue our discussion?"
"Very well!"
Chen Hu nodded: "Then please wait a moment, Brother Feng and Young Miss Feng. By the way, if you need anything, feel free to order the maids!"
Subsequently, Chen Hu walked out of the Reception Hall.
And arrived in front of the General Hall gate.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage was parked outside the gate.
The faint sound of a woman's laughter could be heard from inside the carriage.
At the same time, there were two teams of knights on both sides of the carriage.
Each of them was wearing leather armor and emitting Evil Qi.
Besides that.
The old man driving the carriage was not simple either.
He appeared unremarkable, but in fact, he was an expert in the Organ Refining Realm.
"Young Lord, the person has arrived!"
The old man driving the carriage glanced indifferently at Chen Hu and then reminded the person inside the carriage.
"Let him wait; this Young Master's interest has been piqued!"
An impatient voice came from inside the carriage.
Immediately after, a discordant sound came from inside the carriage.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hu's face instantly darkened.
This was clearly an intentional humiliation.
"General Zhao Zilong!"
Chen Hu shouted softly.
Suddenly, a figure flashed.
General Zhao Zilong appeared behind Chen Hu: "Brother Hu, please give your orders."
"Drive this bunch of eyesores outside away. If they are unwilling to leave, feel free to attack; I don't care if they live or die!" Chen Hu said coldly.
Originally, he had planned to lie low and develop for a while longer.
But then this damn hidden dragon ranking had to appear.
With this hidden dragon ranking thing, trouble would come in waves.
Simply showing weakness and hiding would only make others think he was weak and easy to bully.
Therefore, the best method was to display some strength, so that the forces wanting to bully him would weigh whether they had the ability to completely wipe him out.
Chen Hu's words also reached the ears of the old man driving the carriage.
Upon hearing this, he glanced at Chen Hu with contempt, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Understood!"
The next moment, General Zhao Zilong held his long spear and stepped out of the Fierce Tiger Gang General Hall gate.
And raised his long spear to point at the old man driving the carriage: "Drive away from here immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Hehe!"
The old man driving the carriage let out a strange laugh and looked at General Zhao Zilong playfully: "Young man, do you know who you are speaking to?"
"I don't care who you are, get lost immediately!"
General Zhao Zilong's voice became a bit more severe.
"Ignorant brat, daring to be disrespectful to Elder Yan, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Li Hu, riding on a horse, found an opportunity to curry favor with the old man driving the carriage and immediately rushed to speak.
As soon as he finished speaking.
He suddenly drew the long saber in his hand, turning into a stream of light, and slashed down at General Zhao Zilong's head.
General Zhao Zilong glanced at him indifferently.
The bright silver spear in his hand whipped out.
"Bang!"
Li Hu, who had just rushed in front of him, was whipped away.
"Good skill!"
Feng Chengyu praised; it was Feng Chengyu who had brought his sister to the gate, and seeing General Zhao Zilong whip Li Hu away with a single strike of his spear, he couldn't help but praise him.
This Li Hu was a vicious tiger under the Wu Family, and his strength was not low, having reached the Mid-stage Marrow Refining Realm.
"It seems I underestimated you. In that case, I will meet you myself!"
A flash of surprise appeared in the eyes of the old man driving the carriage, and then he flicked his fingers repeatedly.
Four black finger strikes, like black lightning, headed straight for General Zhao Zilong's vital points.
General Zhao Zilong spun his long spear and easily shattered the four finger strikes. Subsequently, the long spear in his hand turned into a silver light and thrust toward the old man driving the carriage.
"Puff!"
The next moment, the old man's left shoulder was directly pierced through by the bright silver spear.
"This?"
Seeing this scene, the Feng siblings were stunned, because they all knew who the old man driving the carriage was.
