C771 He Looked at the Sky Speechlessly(1)

Huo Tianxin, a formidable martial artist, had countless women in his life, yet only one son and one daughter. His son, lacking his father's talent for cultivation, led an unremarkable life. Despite Huo Tianxin establishing a vast family business for him, he couldn't escape the inevitability of life and passed away even before his father.

In the next generation, the grandchildren also showed surprisingly poor aptitude for cultivation. Though both grandsons were still alive, they were merely scraping by. The only consolation was his great-grandchildren, Huo Dongsheng and Huo Dongcheng, who showed some promise in their early years.

However, much to Huo Tianxin's dismay, Huo Dongcheng, in his teenage years, fell into a life of indulgence, joining a notorious group that prioritized pleasure above all else. This infuriated Huo Tianxin, leading him to expel Dongcheng from the family.

This left Huo Dongcheng as the sole heir of the Huo lineage. While his talent wasn't as exceptional as Dongsheng's, he still had the potential to reach the Martial King Stage. Yet, Dongcheng was spoiled from a young age, developing an arrogant demeanor, respecting no one but Huo Tianxin. Known as the little tyrant of the Tianxin District, his notorious behavior was no exaggeration.

But who could challenge him? His great-grandfather, Huo Tianxin, was a revered elder of the Wuji Sect. Regardless of Dongcheng's misdeeds, he was destined to control the Huo family and the Tianxin District. No one dared to easily offend him.

When discussing the Huo family, it's impossible not to mention another branch of the family, specifically Huo Tianxin's younger brother, Huo Tianjue.

Huo Tianjue is the youngest of Huo Tianxin's siblings. By the time he was born, Huo Tianxin had already gained significant fame. Despite Huo Tianjue's exceptional talents among the younger generation, he was overshadowed by Huo Tianxin's brilliance.

Over the centuries, only Huo Tianxin and Huo Tianjue remain from their generation. Due to the scarcity of members in Huo Tianxin's branch, even though the title of family head is nominally theirs, all significant matters are managed by Huo Tianjue's branch.

In this generation, Huo Dongsheng has joined the Acacia Sect, and Huo Dongcheng is still young, so Huo Tianjue temporarily holds the position of family head. Most people think this is inevitable, given the limited number of people in Huo Tianxin's branch.

However, Feng Ji knows very well why Huo Dongsheng was so determined to join the Acacia Sect and the reasons behind Huo Dongcheng's arrogance. These are closely tied to the elder, Huo Tianjue.

Huo Tianxin rarely involves himself in worldly affairs, while Huo Tianjue dotes on Huo Dongcheng more than his own branch. Many see this as deep affection, but if you think about it, would Huo Dongcheng have turned out the way he has without such indulgence?

As things continue to unfold, it's inevitable that Huo Dongcheng will stir up trouble. When that happens, it seems like Huo Tianjue will be ready to seize the opportunity. If Huo Dongcheng foolishly provokes that couple and the woman in red, who is at the Sovereign level, ends up killing him, the Huo family would naturally fall into Huo Tianjue's hands.

Even if Feng Ji understands the critical points of the situation, she wouldn't interfere, as it offers her no benefit.

While a storm brews within the Huo family, another group arrives in Limitless City, entering a different district. In a private room of a local tavern, a young man sits leisurely, drinking alone. Behind him stand two menacing middle-aged men. If Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue were here, they would recognize this young man as Sun Mingyuan, whom they encountered on the train.

"Knock, knock..."

The door to the room is gently tapped.

"Come in," Sun Mingyuan says softly, setting down his glass.

A thin, sharp-featured man enters, closing the door behind him with a sly look about him.

"Did you find out what I asked?" Sun Mingyuan inquires.

"Yes, sir. Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue have indeed arrived in Limitless City, but they entered through the main gate of the Tianxin district," the sly-looking man replies.

"Tianxin District? Ha... they sure know how to pick a spot," Sun Mingyuan chuckled.

"Yeah, and from what I've gathered, early this morning, a man and a woman just arrived in Tianxin District and immediately caught Huo Dongcheng's attention. But it seems like they're not from around here because they didn't give Huo Dongcheng any respect. He left in a huff after making some threats. If my guess is right, that man and woman are probably the ones you're looking for."
