In the City of No Life, even though Woo Zhengyang never initiated a fight, it was inevitable. Through two bouts of violence, the number of cultivators who fell by his hand was close to a thousand. Neither side showed mercy, but it was all orchestrated by unseen forces.

Following these events, the decline of the Fallen Sun Country was unavoidable. Woo Zhengyang had no desire to continue the bloodshed, so he decided to give Quan Feiyan a break, recognizing that he was merely a pawn of the Liu family. As for retaliation, Woo Zhengyang was utterly unafraid.

From Dongjue Country to Cloud Fluttering Country, and now to the Fallen Sun Country, three of the four territories under the Heavenly Martial Sect had enemies of Woo Zhengyang. For someone like him, who had many adversaries, each enemy was just fuel for his rise. He didn't mind having one more powerful family against him.

After Woo Zhengyang spoke, the entire banquet hall fell into an unprecedented silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Arrogant! Overbearing! Yet, his confidence was undeniable.

Not long ago, many thought he was just an abandoned youth, but now he was brimming with boldness. Most importantly, the three slaps he just delivered made many believe he had the audacity to back it up!

"It can't be... My father personally assessed him a few days ago and concluded that this guy was a cripple with severed meridians. Quan, he's definitely bluffing right now. Don't be fooled by him," said Liu Yunyun, though her voice was strangely hoarse and strained.

Quan Feiyan paused, his anger evident as he glanced back at Liu Yunyun and the others. While they might not understand, he knew all too well that Woo Zhengyang's words were likely true. During the recent confrontation, Woo Zhengyang could have easily taken his sword and killed him, yet he chose not to. Instead, he openly admitted to killing Quan Feichen, Feiyan's brother. This could only mean one thing: Woo Zhengyang was absolutely confident he could eliminate Feiyan or even the entire Quan family at any moment.

"Today's events, I, Quan Feiyan, will no longer interfere. Farewell!" With that, Feiyan turned and left without looking back. Although he had sensed Woo Zhengyang was extraordinary, Feiyan's straightforward retreat still surprised everyone.

All eyes then turned to Patriarch Liu, some with amused smiles. How would the Liu family handle this? They had gone to great lengths to find Quan Feiyan as a suitable match for Liu Yunyun, only to discover that the person they intended to discard was a formidable force. He had slapped Quan Feiyan three times and scared him off with just a few words.

"This young man harbors ill intentions and must have been plotting against our family for some time. Old Qian, seize him for me!" Patriarch Liu ordered coldly.

“Hold on!” Han Shanyuan stood up and said loudly, “Patriarch Liu, you first arranged the marriage and then broke the engagement. Are you really going to bully others in front of everyone now?”

“Mr. Han, this is a family matter of the Liu household. Even your father, the mayor, has no right to interfere!”

“I got along with Mr. Zhengyang from the start, and he is a valued guest of the Han family. If you want to take down a guest of the Han family, do you think I have no right to intervene?” Han Shanyuan asserted confidently.

“When did the Han family have a guest in my house? Seize him!” Patriarch Liu ordered, and an old servant behind him leaped forward, rushing toward Woo Zhengyang.

“Stop him!” Han Shanyuan shouted urgently. A middle-aged man who had come with him drew his sword and charged forward.

“Hmph... Who dares to act recklessly in my house!” Patriarch Liu stepped forward and blocked the middle-aged man.

Patriarch Liu was an Advanced Martial Master at the late Reality Condensing Stage, while Han Shanyuan’s follower was only a Middle Rank Martial Master and was no match, quickly being pushed back.

By this time, the old servant had already reached Woo Zhengyang.

“Watch out, Mr. Zhengyang!” Han Shanyuan shouted in frustration, unable to do anything else but warn him.

Seeing the old servant reaching for his shoulder, Woo Zhengyang remained unfazed and even took a moment to reassure Han Shanyuan, “No worries!”

Everyone was taken aback. This old servant was a Middle Rank Martial Master with years of experience in martial arts, yet here was a mere Martial Disciple acting so boldly. But in the next moment, they understood why Woo Zhengyang was so calm.

Just as the old servant was about to grab him, Woo Zhengyang struck out with a punch, the sound of his fist breaking through the air was sharp and clear in the night. Most strikingly, his fist was enveloped in a fiery red glow.

"Innate Spirit Body!" someone exclaimed.

Earlier, when Quan Feiyan had retreated, many were skeptical. But now, no one could doubt it any longer. Just possessing an Innate Spirit Body put Woo Zhengyang leagues ahead of Quan Feiyan, making it no issue for him to directly join the Heavenly Martial Sect.

The Liu family had misjudged, and so had everyone else...

Amidst their shock, the battle between Woo Zhengyang and the old servant continued.
