Chapter 175 Coming to the Door

As soon as the people from the Hunyuan Sect spoke, Zhao Teng immediately gained confidence.

This was one of the top Sects in Liefeng Prefecture, with several Core Formation Realm Cultivators backing it; dealing with a helper invited by the Mei Family would be as easy as turning over a hand.

However, Zhao Teng lived up to his status as the head of the family; after his joy, he quickly calmed down and said tentatively, "Please do not take offense, the three messengers. Since the other party dared to strike against Tong'er, they must have some backing. What if..."

Zhao Teng was just being cautious, but these words caused great dissatisfaction among the three.

"Is Family Head Zhao looking down on our Hunyuan Sect?!"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

"There are no 'justs'! Not to mention it's impossible for this person to be a Core Formation Realm Cultivator, even if he were, so what? Would my Hunyuan Sect be afraid of him?!" the leader said disdainfully.

"Not a Core Formation Realm Cultivator? But my subordinates said..."

"Hmph, didn't you hear them? The other party looks to be less than twenty years old. How could someone succeed in Core Formation at such an age?"

"He might have some skill, but in my view, he's nothing more than a swindler putting on an act."

Hearing this, Zhao Teng suddenly snapped out of it, cursing himself for forgetting such a thing.

How could someone around twenty years old reach Core Formation? Even the number one Prodigy on the hidden dragon ranking, Ye Feng, couldn't achieve that, let alone some young Cultivator of unknown origin.

Zhao Teng suddenly felt like he had been played. In a fit of rage, he brought the three Hunyuan Sect messengers to charge at the door.

This was the perfect excuse to swallow the Mei Family; even if that failed, he would at least tear off a large chunk of flesh.

Upon hearing that people from the Hunyuan Sect had arrived, Mei Changluo's expression instantly turned grim; the thing he feared most had happened.

Mei Changluo had initially worried about the Hunyuan Sect's retaliation, but then he thought that Ye Fan was a Core Formation Realm Cultivator. He had only taught Zhao Tong a lesson, so there was no need for the Zhao Family and the Hunyuan Sect to fall out over it. But now, it seemed he had oversimplified things.

"Young Friend Ye, please wait a moment. I will be right back."

Mei Changluo had intended to deal with it alone, but just as he had settled Ye Fan, the other party had already forced their way into the manor and injured several clansmen and guards. This made Mei Changluo's expression turn extremely ugly.

"Mei, my Zhao Family has always minded our own business, yet you actually conspired with an outsider to harm Tong'er! In front of the three messengers from the Hunyuan Sect, how do you think this should be handled?!"

Zhao Teng acted like a dog relying on its master's power; with the Hunyuan Sect backing him, he didn't care for the Mei Family at all.

Although Mei Changluo was furious, he was helpless. He could only suppress his anger repeatedly and say it was all a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding? Cut the nonsense, Mei! If you're smart, have that kid pretending to be in the Core Formation Realm get out here, or else today will be the day the Mei Family is exterminated!"

The people from the Hunyuan Sect showed no mercy, speaking of slaughter and extermination from the start. Mei Changluo trembled with rage but couldn't lash out.

"Messengers, please listen. Young Friend Ye is indeed a Core Formation Realm Cultivator and is currently resting in the manor. Please do not disturb him," Mei Changluo said, suppressing his anger.

"Heh, even now you're still trying to fool us with a fraud."

"To think you are the head of a family, yet you can't even distinguish a swindler."

"Enough talk! This person injured our Hunyuan Sect's Dao Seed. Have him come out and meet his death quickly, or the entire Mei Family will be buried with him today!"

...

These three were Elders of the Hunyuan Sect, with cultivation levels around the eighth or ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Along with Zhao Teng, the four of them working together were enough to level the Mei Family to the ground.

Mei Changluo wanted to explain further, but the leading Hunyuan Sect Cultivator suddenly struck out with a palm.

Caught off guard, Mei Changluo took a solid hit. His body was sent flying over ten zhang, crashing through a courtyard wall and nearly shattering his internal organs.

Mei Changluo spat out mouthfuls of blood, nearly fainting on the spot. The members of the Mei Family were filled with despair, suspecting for a moment that today was the day of their destruction.

"Father!"

Mei Yinger appeared from nowhere, throwing herself into her father's arms and crying like a fountain.

"You hurt my father! You are bad people! Big Brother Ye Fan won't let you get away with this!" Mei Yinger cried out.

"Ye Fan?"

The group was stunned for a moment before realizing that the Ye Fan she mentioned was the fraud pretending to be in the Core Formation Realm, and they immediately showed expressions of disdain.

"Your father conspired with an outsider to harm our Hunyuan Sect's Dao Seed. That palm strike was merely a lesson for him."

"Tell us where that fraud is quickly, or we will exterminate your entire Mei Family today!"

Mei Yinger was only fifteen years old; she had never seen such a scene before.

Although her face was pale with fear, she didn't reveal a single bit of information about Ye Fan. Her fearful yet stubborn appearance completely infuriated the people from the Hunyuan Sect.

"Stubborn, aren't you? Then I'll start by killing you. Once everyone in the Mei Family is dead, I don't believe I won't be able to find that fraud!"

Just as the Hunyuan Sect person was about to strike, Ye Fan's figure suddenly blocked the way in front of Mei Yinger.

"I didn't expect that after being injured, even my reactions would become so much slower."

Ye Fan looked at Mei Changluo with some apology, then turned his gaze toward the Hunyuan Sect group, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Seeing Ye Fan suddenly appear, the three from the Hunyuan Sect and Zhao Teng were all taken aback, but then they sneered.

"Even we can't see through your cultivation; you indeed have some tricks."

"Heh, he must have used some Magical Artifact to mask his aura."

"Or perhaps he used some Divine Ability."

All three of them couldn't see through Ye Fan's cultivation, but they instantly thought of countless possibilities, yet they never once considered that Ye Fan truly had a Core Formation Realm cultivation.

Zhao Teng was even more of a bully relying on others, but just as he was about to start cursing, Ye Fan suddenly spoke.

"Yinger, close your eyes. No matter what you hear, do not open them."

Although she didn't know why Ye Fan said that, out of her trust in him, Mei Yinger immediately closed her eyes.

"Hmph, still playing tricks even now. I see you..."

"Dragon Sucking Water!"

Before the leader of the Hunyuan Sect could finish his sentence, an invisible suction force erupted like a black hole.

His body flew out uncontrollably; by the time he realized what was happening, his neck was already in Ye Fan's grip, like meat on a chopping board, unable to move at all.

Ye Fan captured him with a casual move. When the man regained his senses and wanted to say something, what followed was a heart-wrenching scream.

Ye Fan applied a bit of force and broke his limbs. The intense pain made the fellow scream like a slaughtered pig before he fainted on the spot.

"Take this trash and get out of the Mei Family manor. If anyone dares to come and cause trouble again, this person will be your example."

Ye Fan threw the Hunyuan Sect Cultivator out like a dead dog. When the other two realized what had happened, they were beyond furious.

"Shameless thief, you actually dared to sneak attack my Senior Brother! Die!"

The two of them felt that Ye Fan had sneak-attacked first, and they both attacked in a rage, intending to take Ye Fan back to the Sect for punishment.

To their surprise, just as they were about to strike, Ye Fan's figure had already appeared silently before them.

"Stubborn fools. Then you two can leave lying down as well."
