Hong Qitian''s heart cried bitterly. As a Master of Inner Force, he was keenly aware of what it meant to press a teacup into the table with just a pair of fleshy palms.

    This power, let alone a Master of Inner Force, even a Huajin Grandmaster would probably not be able to do it, at the very least it would take a higher level High-Level Grandmaster, or even a Martial King.

    No matter what, Hong Qitian couldn''t have imagined that someone who was clearly just a young man in his early twenties, and even wheelchair-bound with disabled legs, could possess such terrifying power and realm.

    This realm could kill him in an instant!

    Luo Keque and Pang Youze, who were standing by, were also stunned on the spot, but soon after, they were overjoyed. They too had seen that this single move was enough to explain everything.

    Ye Feng said with a faint smile, "Master Instructor Hong, how is the taste of my tea?"

    Hong Qitian''s throat was dry, making it impossible for him to answer; his entire body shook uncontrollably like chaff.

    "Ye... Mr. Ye, previously it was I, the scoundrel, who was blind and failed to recognize Mt. Tai, offending Mr. Ye. I hope Mr.

    Ye can show mercy!"

    Hong Qitian couldn''t keep sitting in his chair and stiffly stood up.

    Ye Feng sighed, then asked straight away, "Now, who is in charge of the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan Province?"

    Hong Qitian answered truthfully, "It''s Murong Huangtian. He is currently the Leader of the Martial Alliance."

    "Murong Huangtian from the Gusu Murong clan of the Four Great Families of Southern River Region Jiangnan?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow in inquiry.

    "Yes, indeed. He is the current head of the Gusu Murong, an ancient family. In the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province, this branch is just a fragment. Last year during the election for the Leader of the Martial Alliance, Murong Huangtian dominated his rivals and came out on top as the Alliance Hierarch!" Hong Qitian said, bowing his head.

    Ye Feng nodded slightly and then asked, "What about the Yin Family?"

    Hong Qitian shook his head and said, "The Yin Family of the Four Great Families didn''t vie for the position of Alliance Hierarch. They have been very low-profile these years, seemingly retracting their business ventures."

    "Has anyone from the Yin Family been poisoned with Gu and Poison this time?" Ye Feng asked with a heavy tone.

    Hong Qitian pondered for a while before speaking up, "That... I really do not know. After all, this is not within the jurisdiction of the Martial Alliance. The Divine Doctor Sect should have a clearer picture."

    Throughout the whole process, Hong Qitian''s heart was filled with turmoil. He couldn''t help thinking, what was the background of this young, peerless high-level martial artist in front of him?

    "Get the hell away from me!"

    Hong Qitian swung his arm and pushed the two away, then slowly rose to his feet, gnashing his teeth in a hysterical roar, "Ye, you damn Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, I want you dead, swear you''ll meet a terrible end!"

    The two followers said, "Instructor Hong, regarding what happened today with that guy named Ye, perhaps we should hurry back to report to the alliance, let others know."

    "Tell the others?"

    Hong Qitian suddenly realized the implications, and with a swift kick, knocked the speaker to the ground, bellowing, "I''m telling you, not a word about today''s incident is to be leaked. Anyone who dare to spill, don''t blame me for not being polite!"

    If this incident got out, Hong Qitian would probably become the laughingstock with his current status as a Master of Inner Force unlikely to hold any weight in the Southern River Region Jiangnan anymore.

    "But Instructor, that guy..."

    "None of this ''but'' crap!" Hong Qitian kicked the men to the ground again, raging, "Don''t say I didn''t warn you beforehand—if anyone dares to let slip even half a word, I''ll eradicate your entire families!"

    Finally , the two understood that the head of the Hong Family was indeed harboring murderous intent and dared not utter another word.

    Meanwhile, Ye Feng had caused such a stir that he no longer had much of an appetite, hastily eating some pastries before leaving the Elegant Pavilion.

    "Mr. Ye, where shall we go next? Or rather, do you have any plans after this?" Luo Keque asked.

    Having witnessed the incident with the teacup, Luo Keque''s reverence towards Ye Feng was almost at the point of complete submission.

    Ye Feng thought for a moment, then asked, "Which is closer from here, the Jiang Family or the Divine Doctor Sect?"

    Pang Youze said, "The Jiang Family is closer, about only a twenty-minute drive away. Mr. Ye, you are planning to...?"

    "Let''s go to the Jiang Family first!" Ye Feng declared, waving his hand, and then got into the car with the assistance of Hong Qingyan.

    Pang Youze and Luo Keque exchanged looks; they naturally knew the implications of Ye Feng''s decision to visit the Jiang Family.

    "Keque, are we both supposed to follow?" Pang Youze was somewhat apprehensive after all, it was the Jiang Family they were dealing with, one of the Four Great Families of Southern River Region Jiangnan.

    Luo Keque pondered briefly before assertively saying, "If Mr. Ye dares to make a visit on his own, it means he is absolutely confident. At this critical juncture, we cannot hesitate, or we''ll miss the opportunity."

    "All right, let''s go together. I have a premonition that our Southern River Region Jiangnan Province is about to witness a change of times!"
