10: The sword intent of destruction brings congratulations from all directions!

The Wei Family, also one of the three major families.

"Such terrifying Sword Intent!"

Wei Lai, the head of the Wei Family, had a solemn expression.

The Wei Family's strength was at the bottom among the three major families.

Wei Lai himself was no exception, having only a cultivation of Foundation Establishment Layer One.

The pressure he felt from this Sword Intent was extremely intense!

"Someone, prepare a gift! Tomorrow morning, accompany me to the City Lord's Mansion to offer congratulations!"

Wei Lai made a prompt decision.

Previously, the Wei Family had been close to the City Lord's Mansion, all thanks to his tactfulness.

And now that the City Lord's Mansion's strength had reached a new level, the gift must also be grander!

...The Ye Family.

Ye Wudi looked toward the City Lord's Mansion, his face grim.

After Ye Yunfei was killed, he had once forced his way into the Black Shadow Forest and suppressed Zhang Yong. Despite using every means at his disposal, Zhang Yong ultimately maintained that he did not kill Ye Yunfei.

And he had seen for himself that Zhang Yong's strength was indeed no match for Ye Yunfei.

This meant that the murderer of Ye Yunfei was someone else.

Given the Ye Family's current situation, he had no reason not to suspect the City Lord's Mansion!

The Ye Family's strength was already a notch below the City Lord's Mansion.

But now, someone in the City Lord's Mansion had actually comprehended Sword Intent!

This was truly adding insult to injury!

Seeking revenge seemed further away than ever!

This grievance, it seemed, could only be swallowed!

...Outside Wang Ming's courtyard.

Wang Changfu, Wang Changsheng, Wang Tianfeng, Old Hei, and others were all gathered here.

"Sword Intent, it's actually Sword Intent! To comprehend Sword Intent at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Ming'er is indeed a heaven-sent genius!"

Wang Changfu tugged at his beard, grinning from ear to ear.

"This kid, how did he suddenly seem like a different person? Could it be that he's truly enlightened?"

Wang Changsheng had a look of amazement.

"My son Wang Ming has the bearing of a Great Emperor. A mere Sword Intent is just a drop in the bucket. No need for such a fuss!"

Wang Tianfeng straightened his back, trying to act nonchalant, but the corners of his mouth simply wouldn't stay down!

"Young Master is mighty! Ah! Young Master is so incredible!"

Old Hei was so excited he couldn't find the right words, so he had to resort to the lines used by the young girls Wang Ming usually bullied.

Wang Changfu: "..."

Wang Changsheng: "..."

Wang Tianfeng kicked him. "You motherfucker, if you don't know how to speak, then shut up! What kind of scandalous words are those!"

Old Hei chuckled and scratched his head. "I just wanted to make the Young Master happy. He usually loves being praised like this."

Wang Tianfeng's face was covered in black lines.

Any normal man would like to hear such things.

The point is, those damn words should come from a woman's mouth, shouldn't they?

"Grandpa, Third Grand-uncle, Dad, you're all here."

Just then, the Sword Intent in the sky dissipated, and Wang Ming walked out of the room.

Dressed in black, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, he gave off a sense of sharp intensity just by standing there.

Like a peerless sword that had been sealed for ten thousand years and finally unsheathed!

Looking into his eyes, Old Hei actually felt a stinging pain and quickly looked away.

"Foundation Establishment Second Layer! Good lad, another Breakthrough so soon! You're almost catching up to your old man!"

Wang Tianfeng laughed as he stepped forward and gave Wang Ming a bear hug.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "It was just luck."

He finally found a chance to steal the 'lucky guy's' line.

"What kind of Sword Intent did you comprehend?" Wang Changfu and Wang Changsheng approached, full of curiosity.

Wang Ming looked at Wang Tianfeng.

Wang Tianfeng suddenly had a bad feeling. "Why are you looking at me?"

Wang Changfu laughed, immediately understanding Wang Ming's intent.

He commanded, "Tianfeng, go, spar with Ming'er. Let us all see Ming'er's Sword Intent."

Wang Tianfeng's face soured like a bitter melon. "Can I refuse?"

Before, when Wang Ming was at Foundation Establishment Layer One, he could already push him back.

Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer and comprehended Sword Intent, he had no confidence at all.

Wang Changfu sneered. "Of course you can refuse. But when your wife returns, I'll tell her you've hidden over five hundred thousand spirit coins in private savings."

Wang Tianfeng immediately yielded. "I'll spar, I'll spar, okay?"

"Don't look so aggrieved. There's nothing I can do; my wife died early, so no one can control me."

Wang Changfu shrugged. "Otherwise, you could go find a few wives for me. Preferably eighteen years old. While I still have some energy, I might even be able to produce a brother or sister for you."

Wang Ming: "..."

Sure enough, no matter the age, men always love eighteen-year-old women... The next day.

The City Lord's Mansion was bustling like a marketplace.

Any organization in Qingzhou City with even a bit of standing spontaneously brought gifts to offer congratulations.

And the Wei Family, in order to be the first, had even come to wait at the entrance in the middle of the night.

As soon as the City Lord's Mansion opened its doors, Wei Lai led his people inside.

"Congratulations, City Lord, on comprehending Sword Intent!"

"Lord City Lord is truly a heaven-sent genius!"

"Even the prodigies in those Sects find it extremely difficult to comprehend Sword Intent at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Compared to the City Lord, those prodigies are nothing special!"

"..."

Hearing everyone incessantly flattering Wang Tianfeng, Wei Lai snorted coldly.

What kind of garbage flattery is this!

Too low-class! Too moronic!

Wei Lai pushed through the crowd, came before Wang Tianfeng, cupped his hands respectfully, and said, "City Lord, actually, I know a bit of physiognomy. When I first met you, I could see that you had the countenance of a Dragon soaring through the Nine Heavens."

"Now that the City Lord's divine technique has reached Major Achievement, it has indeed come to pass!"

"A long time ago, I also read my own fortune, and it was the countenance of following a Dragon!"

"The City Lord is a True Dragon of the Nine Heavens. I, Wei Lai, am willing to lead the entire Wei Family to follow your lead from now on. Whatever your command, we shall not dare to disobey!"

Everyone around was stunned.

Damn!

They thought their flattery was already natural and seamless, but they didn't expect someone to be even better at it. Whose subordinate is this?!

Wang Ming sat on a nearby chair with his legs crossed, his head slightly tilted and supported by one hand, watching Wei Lai with interest.

This old fellow actually has some potential to be a lackey.

Unfortunately, not only is he old, but he's also a man.

Wang Ming withdrew his gaze and shook his head slightly.

He didn't want to be followed by this stinky old man every day.

Girls are much better, preferably the 'big sister' type!

Sensible!

As soon as you frown, she knows what to... Wang Tianfeng shook his head and smiled. "Little Wei, you might be mistaken. The one who comprehended the Sword Intent wasn't me."

Not the City Lord?!

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

"Not you? Could it be... Old Master Wang?" Wei Lai asked in confusion.

Everyone nodded.

In the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord and his father were the strongest.

If it wasn't the City Lord, then it could only be his father, Wang Changfu!

"Not him either." Wang Tianfeng shook his head mischievously; he was very much looking forward to the reaction of these people once they learned the truth.

"If it's not you, and not Old Master Wang, then who else could it be?"

Wei Lai was completely bewildered for a moment.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Wang Ming, who was sitting nearby. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Could it be Young Master Wang Ming?"

When he asked this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud himself.

Wang Ming?

A playboy? If he could comprehend Sword Intent, then he would do a handstand and shit right on the spot!

And then eat it himself!
