At this moment, upon hearing Shi Feng's ice-cold voice brimming with endless killing intent, even Jian Ran seemed to experience an illusion, as if all the enemies blocking this man's path could be smashed with a single punch. However, this illusion only surfaced in Jian Ran's mind for a fleeting moment before disappearing, and she secretly shook her head, dismissing that thought.
She had told him several times not to regard the martial artists of the Inner Wilderness as the same as those of the Wilderness Outer World, especially not one of the five ancient powers, the Jian Family!
But it seemed that in his subconscious, he still regarded the True God Second Heaven of the Jian Family as the same as that Second Layer Heaven Alien Race from the Heavenly Desolation Divine Hall.
Seeing him like this, Jian Ran didn't bother to explain further. She already knew that some perceptions were ingrained in one's mind and could not be changed, no matter what others said. He might only understand when he faces them himself.
Jian Ran thought to herself, especially someone like him, so arrogant and dismissive of the martial artists of this world.
Inside the Flower Viewing Pavilion, there was a moment of silence as Shi Feng and Jian Ran said nothing.
After a while, Shi Feng finally opened his mouth to ask Jian Ran, "Am I residing here next?"
Because of that woman, Shi Feng was uncertain if this was his residence at the moment.
Jian Ran, who had been lost in thought, was brought back by Shi Feng's words. Looking at that youthful and handsome face again, she slowly nodded and said:
"Yes!
You can stay here without worry. During these days, no one will come to disturb you, not even my uncle."
Originally, Jian Ran intended to pay respects to her mother, but now, she decided to immediately report the matters here to her father, Jian Yu, after leaving here.
As long as her father steps in and informs everyone in the Jian Family of Shi Feng's extraordinary talent and the impending duel, even her uncle would not act recklessly during this period.
Hearing Jian Ran's words, Shi Feng nodded, and then Jian Ran heard something that changed her expression.
"Let's hope no one comes courting death!"
"You!" Though she knew this person was arrogant, Jian Ran couldn't help but show slight anger on her beautiful, fair face upon hearing this.
After that, Jian Ran calmed her anger and said to Shi Feng, "Alright, rest easy here, I take my leave!"
"Hmm!"
Then Jian Ran left the Flower Viewing Pavilion, and as she departed, the two wide-open doors slowly closed.
Shi Feng was now the only one left in the Flower Viewing Pavilion.
There were still over ten days left until the martial arts duel with the Jian Family that he had agreed to. With more than ten days left, Shi Feng decided to begin his cultivation in the Flower Viewing Pavilion, gaining insights into a new level of martial arts!
Currently, his Martial Arts Realm is at the Nine-star Demigod level, and naturally, he needed to step into a higher realm.
He didn't pay much heed to the True God Second Heaven, but he wouldn't forget that Jian Ran had told him that the world had beings at the True God Third Heaven.
For instance, in this Jian Family, since it is considered one of the five ancient powers of the Inner Wilderness, it surely has such a super-existence!
And he wouldn't forget that Jian Ran had informed him of another of the five ancient powers, the Ying Family, whose third young master he had killed!
...
Sword City!
"Jian Yu! Come out! Get out here, Jian Yu! Bring the slut Jian Ran and that lackey out to die!"
At this moment, an extremely arrogant, loud, and furious roar erupted over Sword City.
"Who is it? Who dares utter such arrogant words in our Sword City? This... this is treason, this person must be executed!"
"Who? Who exactly is it?"
"Who is so bold? He seeks to die a death without a burial place!"
...
Hearing the rebellious roars, people in Sword City raised their heads, looking toward the sky.
At this moment, they saw countless figures appearing densely in the sky, each exuding aggressive intent and aura, numbering in the thousands at a glance.
"This... these are Ying Family's people?" In Sword City, someone recognized the figures hovering in the sky and exclaimed in shock.
No one expected that the Ying Family, also one of the five ancient powers, would descend with thousands of strong warriors to provoke the Jian Family.
"That... that is... if I'm not mistaken, that's the Ying Family Patriarch, Ying Teng!"
"Ying Teng?"
"Ying Teng!"
"Ying Teng!"
...
Following that, Sword City echoed with waves of exclamations, almost like a chain reaction, one after another!
No one expected that middle-aged man with an angry face shouting at the Jian Family to be Ying Teng of the Ying Family! A super-powerful figure in the Martial Arts Realm, at the True God Second Heaven.
...
The roars from the sky naturally startled everyone in the Jian Family.
"Ying Teng!" At this moment, hearing the roars from above the sky, even Jian Yu frowned tightly and said, "That madman, what does he want?"
At the moment, Jian Ran was standing in front of Jian Yu, explaining what happened between Shi Feng and Jian Qiong, and upon hearing this, her expression also shifted. She thought to herself, Ying Teng had come so quickly.
Then Jian Yu looked at Jian Ran and asked, "What's going on? What exactly happened?"
Besides shouting at Jian Yu, Ying Teng also called Jian Ran a slut.
Jian Ran answered Jian Yu honestly, "Ying Teng's third son, Ying Kai, was killed by him in White Leaf City."
"What! He killed Ying Teng's son!" At this moment, not only did Jian Yu show a shocked expression, but even the elderly Fengg and Yun beside them were visibly shaken.
They naturally knew who the "he" Jian Ran referred to was! Who else could it be!
That arrogant young man had provoked the two of them upon arriving at the Jian Family, and Jian Ran just mentioned he had beaten the grand uncle's daughter, Jian Qiong. Yet it was unexpected that before coming to the Jian Family, he also killed Ying Teng's son!
This... truly, he doesn't put anyone in his eyes.
"As for the incident, it was entirely Ying Kai who provoked it first!" Jian Ran said.
Then she recounted what happened in White Leaf City, where Ying Kai provoked her and was ultimately killed by that person, retelling it to Jian Yu.
After hearing Jian Ran's account, Jian Yu said, "No matter what Ying Teng's son was like, you couldn't have killed him! Ying Teng is a madman!"
"At that time, he had just entered our Small World and didn't know about our five major forces, so..." To her surprise, Jian Ran began to explain for "him" to Jian Yu.
Seeing his daughter act this way, Jian Yu became more convinced that Jian Ran truly had feelings for that person.
"How should we handle this matter?" Following that, Jian Yu's brow furrowed.
"Jian Yu, get out here!" That arrogant, domineering, and furious voice continued to echo within Sword City.
