Chapter 2047: 2032: Are You Serious? Courting Death!

After the Jian Family offered a True God Second Heaven Spirit Fruit and Jian Yu agreed that Shi Feng and Jian Ran would both participate in the martial arts battle, only then did Ying Teng adopt a temporary stance of backing down. Subsequently, Elder Lao, who had gone with the Great Elder of Jian Family to fetch the Spirit Fruit, returned, his old face covered in a cheerful smile, seemingly satisfied with the Spirit Fruit acquired by the Jian Family.

However, the Jian Family members glared angrily at this Elder Lao with resentment.

When Elder Lao returned to Ying Teng's side and took out the Spirit Fruit for Ying Teng to see, Ying Teng's cold face gradually softened, showing a satisfied nod.

"Let's go!" A low shout was issued from Ying Teng's mouth, echoing in the heavens.

With this shout, the Winning Family members finally began to retreat.

Individuals from Sword City gazed up at the sky as the strong members of the Winning Family broke through the space and departed.

"Winning Family!" In front of the Flower Viewing Pavilion, Shi Feng quietly murmured the two words, his body now exuding an icy killing intent.

Seeing what happened, he naturally understood early on that the Winning Family had come for him.

Originally, Shi Feng thought the Jian Family would hand him over, but he didn't expect that they wouldn't, even after compensating with a True God Second Heaven Rank Spirit Fruit.

"It seems that, for the Jian Family, victory in that martial arts competition is more important than six True God Battle Artifacts, or even a True God Second Heaven Spirit Fruit."

Shi Feng silently mused, naturally disbelieving that the Jian Family didn't hand him over out of some sense of integrity.

After the Winning Family left, Jian Yu addressed the Jian Family members, saying slowly, "Let's head back too!"

"Mmm!" The strong members of the Jian Family nodded in agreement upon hearing Jian Yu's words.

The mood among the Jian Family members was not good at this moment.

And just as the Jian Family was preparing to return to the Heavenly Sword Divine Temple, a cold shout suddenly resonated: "Wait!"

Upon hearing that shout, the Jian Family members immediately halted and turned to look at the person who had issued the command.

The source of the cold shout was none other than Elder Jian Ze, Jian Yu's brother.

Jian Yu also stopped and looked at Jian Ze, his brows deeply furrowed, knowing that nothing good would come from Jian Ze's call to "wait."

"Jian Ze, what more do you want?" Jian Yu asked irritably.

"Hmph!" Jian Ze snorted coldly before saying, "The Family Head had just stated that Jian Ran and Shi Feng must be severely punished!

And today, our Jian Family lost a Spirit Fruit. Most crucially, the top talents of our Jian Family couldn't participate in the martial arts contest—all because of these two. They must indeed be severely punished!"

After hearing Jian Ze's words, no one from the Jian Family spoke up, though many nodded in tacit agreement.

"Jian Ze, are you the Jian Family Master, or am I the Jian Family Head?" Jian Yu sternly questioned Jian Ze.

"Of course, you are the Family Head!" Jian Ze replied.

"Since I am the Family Head, do I need you, Jian Ze, to teach me how to act?" Jian Yu demanded further.

Upon hearing Jian Yu's two questions, Jian Ze's expression also turned cold as he responded icily:

"How dare I teach you! I, Jian Ze, only speak my mind as a member of the Jian Family. I believe that many in our Jian Family think the same! If these two aren't severely punished, how can we educate the Jian Family disciples in the future?"

Jian Yu noticed that many of the strong members of the Jian Family nodded again upon hearing Jian Ze's words.

"Father!" At this moment, Jian Ran called out solemnly to Jian Yu.

At that very moment, Jian Ran clasped her fists together and said to Jian Yu, "All of this started with me, Jian Ran. I caused the family to lose the Spirit Fruit and took up a spot in the martial arts contest. I willingly accept the punishment!"

"Ran'er!" Jian Yu called out these two words.

"And what about the other person?" Jian Ze added, "Because of his stupidity, our Jian Family is in this situation. Where is he? Why hasn't he shown up yet? Has he gone into hiding? Does he think he can escape family law by hiding? What a fool!"

"This incident was entirely started by me, Jian Ran, and I am willing to bear all the responsibility!" Jian Ran replied to Jian Ze.

She feared that something unexpected might happen, so she took all the blame upon herself.

He is not of the Jian Family, and if the Jian Family were to harm him, given his nature, he certainly wouldn't participate in that combat for the Jian Family.

"Bear all the responsibility? You must be severely punished, but that boy can't be let go either!" Jian Ze said.

That boy slapped his precious daughter Jian Qiong, and Jian Ze would certainly not let him go.

"Jian Ran, now bring that boy out!" As Jian Ze issued these words, his tone was filled with an unmistakable command.

Listening to Jian Ze's command and tone, Jian Yu's expression grew ever colder!

This Jian Ze truly considered himself above, showing no respect for his position as head of the family.

Just as Jian Yu was preparing to speak, suddenly, a cold young voice echoed through the world:

"Have you said enough?"

The voice came from below the Heavenly Sword Divine Temple!

Upon hearing that voice, countless people were taken aback, then looked down simultaneously.

They saw a young black-clad figure appearing in their line of sight—a young man with a handsome face, though these Jian Family strong members had never seen him before.

This young man, despite his youth, was already in the Nine-star Demigod Realm. Soon enough, they quickly realized who he was!

Shi Feng! The Jian Family genius who challenged Fengg and Yun beyond his level, the man who killed Ying Teng's son—the very fool Jian Ze just mentioned.

"Him! That's him! Father, that's him, he's the Shi Feng!" At this moment, Jian Qiong spoke up immediately, pointing to Shi Feng, who was rising through the air.

By now, even without Jian Qiong's mention, Jian Ze already knew who the person was. Jian Ze looked at him, his expression icy cold.

He had dared to tell him, "Have you said enough?"

"This person has committed a great wrong, yet he shows no remorse and speaks so disrespectfully and arrogantly. He deserves severe punishment!" Jian Ze also pointed below at Shi Feng and shouted.

"Punish your sister! Courting death!" At this moment, the strong members of the Jian Family heard the young Shi Feng retort with such audacious and arrogant words toward Jian Ze.

Not only were the Jian Family's strong members shocked, but everyone in the Heavenly Sword Divine Temple and Sword City were all stunned by the brazen words.

"Him! Isn't he way too arrogant?" a young member of the Jian Family exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, every time I see the Elder, I feel an invisible pressure, yet he dares to tell the Elder he's courting death!"

"Is he really from our Jian Family? When did we have such a character?" some elder of the Jian Family quietly pondered.
