C780 Sun Mingyuan Still Didn't Give up(1)

Huo family living room.

Sun Mingyuan sat comfortably on a finely crafted wooden chair, savoring tea from a delicate porcelain bowl. His visit to the Huo family was a decision made after careful consideration. Upon learning that Woo Zhengyang had entered Limitless City and immediately clashed with the Huo family's notorious Huo Dongcheng, Sun Mingyuan planned to watch the conflict unfold and benefit from the outcome.

However, he hadn't anticipated that Huo Dongcheng would be defeated so swiftly and decisively. It was then that Sun Mingyuan realized he had underestimated Woo Zhengyang, who had a powerful ally by his side all along. This revelation made Woo Zhengyang someone Sun Mingyuan couldn't afford to offend.

Yet, Sun Mingyuan was not ready to give up. He believed the Huo family wouldn't either, which is why he found himself here. While he might not gain the upper hand as easily as he hoped, he was eager to see how the drama would play out.

As he pondered, an elderly man, well past his prime, emerged from the back room. What caught Sun Mingyuan's attention was the presence of a stunningly beautiful woman beside him. With a moment's thought, Sun Mingyuan recognized her identity.

"You must be the esteemed head of the Huo family, Mr. Huo Tianjue! And this enchanting lady must be the leader of the Acacia Sect, Miss Feng Ji!" Sun Mingyuan stood and greeted them respectfully.

"Heh, there's no Acacia Sect leader anymore; their entire sect has been wiped out," Feng Ji remarked softly, while Huo Tianjue remained silent.

"Don't be too upset, ma'am. That villain will surely face justice," Sun Mingyuan declared with righteous indignation.

"Oh? You know who the villain is?"

"That's right. Woo Zhengyang hails from my Golden Scale Domain. Even back there, he was causing trouble, stirring up conflict, and angering countless factions. I came here today to deliver news about that scoundrel!"

"Is that so? Then I must thank you, sir. May I ask your name?"

"You're too kind, Miss Feng Ji. I'm Sun Mingyuan, from the Sun family of Golden Scale City."

"The Sun family? Golden Scale City’s Sun family is quite prominent in your domain, with business ties even in Limitless City. But I’m curious, Mr. Sun, why are you helping us? After all, Woo Zhengyang is from your Golden Scale Domain, and we are from the Limitless Domain."

"In my heart, there are no boundaries, only right and wrong. That rogue was a menace in Golden Scale Domain, and now he's causing trouble here, disgracing us all. He doesn't deserve to be called one of ours," Sun Mingyuan said passionately, effectively disowning Woo Zhengyang from the Golden Scale Domain.

"Heh... You sure make it sound nice, but there's something I don't understand," Huo Tianjue finally spoke, though not in the best of moods. "If Woo Zhengyang is causing so much trouble in your Golden Scale Domain, making enemies left and right, why hasn't anyone taken him down?"

Sun Mingyuan gave a sheepish smile and replied helplessly, "You're right, sir. It's not that we don't want to get rid of that scoundrel; it's just that we're powerless against him. He's incredibly strong, not only having a Sovereign-level female servant but also possessing an extremely powerful artifact. Most individuals and groups don't dare to cross him. Even the Golden Scale Domain seems to be on friendly terms with him. We simply lack the strength to do anything about it."

"What did you say? A Sovereign-level female servant?" Huo Tianjue's expression shifted slightly.

He was aware of Woo Zhengyang's powerful artifact and the presence of a woman in red of Sovereign level by his side. However, he had assumed she was a senior or at most a friend of Woo Zhengyang, not his servant. How could a guy at the Shape Gathering Stage manage to subdue a Sovereign?

"Exactly, which is why we don't dare to provoke him lightly."

"What kind of background does Woo Zhengyang have to make a Sovereign bow down to him?" Huo Tianjue was genuinely intrigued now. He certainly didn't want to unknowingly make an enemy of someone so formidable.

In his view, having a Sovereign as a servant suggested that Woo Zhengyang must have an extraordinary background, far from ordinary. Could he be from the Golden Scale Domain? Such a person might hail from one of the prominent families in Central State!

If that's the case, how could the Huo family dare to offend him? They should be trying to befriend him instead. Although the Huo family holds significant power in the Limitless Domain, they are nothing compared to the great families of Central State. A few words from them could easily crush the Huo family and even the Limitless Sect.

Noticing Huo Tianjue's interest, Sun Mingyuan smiled slightly to himself but maintained a puzzled expression as he said, "That's the strangest part. Woo Zhengyang was just a minor relative from a small family. Initially, he joined a small sect and was almost forgotten, nearly leaving the mountains in obscurity."

"But somehow, he underwent a dramatic change, unleashing his true potential, and from there, he became unstoppable..."

Sun Mingyuan eagerly shared the story he had prepared, wanting to reveal Woo Zhengyang's entire life history. He no longer intended to sit back and reap the benefits.

His concern was that once the Huo family realized Woo Zhengyang's strength, they might hesitate to act against him.

Previously, he didn't think much of it, but now, having inexplicably offended Woo Zhengyang, he naturally hoped the Huo family could deal with him. That way, he wouldn't have to live in constant fear. To get the Huo family involved, he needed to lay out all the details about Woo Zhengyang, making it clear that Woo had no powerful connections backing him, so there was no need to tread carefully.

Additionally, he had a significant lure for the Huo family. The Invincible Cannon Car that Woo Zhengyang showcased was already a tempting bait, but it wasn't enough. Being from the Golden Scale Domain, Sun Mingyuan knew that the biggest lure was the secret behind Woo Zhengyang's rise to power. So, he openly shared Woo Zhengyang's journey, believing that a secret capable of transforming an ordinary young man into someone so formidable in just a few years would surely pique interest.

Not just the Huo family, even the Acacia Sect would likely covet such a secret if they knew about it. Therefore, Sun Mingyuan deliberately downplayed Woo Zhengyang's strength while emphasizing the mystery surrounding him to entice Huo Tianjue.

Sure enough, upon learning about the significant secret Woo Zhengyang held, a glint of greed flickered several times in Huo Tianjue's previously dull eyes. Even Feng Ji, standing nearby, clenched her fists a few times.
