Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Xiao Tianchen’s Grand Birthday Celebration Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Xiao Tianchen’s Grand Birthday Celebration The news that He Mo was killed by an unknown young man quickly spread from Tianfeng City.

The mysterious young man, with a single palm strike, killed an Eighth Layer Yuandan Realm powerhouse, taking He Mo’s life from the hands of the Zhang family’s young master, with speed and strength both surpassing Zhang Bufan.

The news shocked the Zhang family, Zhang Bufan’s strength is known to everyone in Tianfeng City, a genius among the younger generation.

In the younger generation of Tianfeng City, there are only a handful who can contend with Zhang Bufan, and even among the major powers, he is considered outstanding.

Just who is someone whose strength surpasses that of Zhang Bufan?

The news was shocking and unbelievable, causing a significant stir among the Xiao family and many other major and minor powers.

In Jiuzhou, someone dared to kill the brother of He Tianxiong, and the astonishing news left everyone in disbelief while at the same time they were very curious about who would have such audacity.

Who in Jiuzhou doesn’t know about He Tianxiong? He is a genius Alchemist in Jiuzhou, in his early thirties, with a future destined for great achievements, his master being none other than the Fifth Grade Alchemist known throughout Jiuzhou as the Shen Dan Master.

Although there are quite a few Alchemists in Jiuzhou, only two are on par with the Shen Dan Master, and even Yang Tianxian might barely match the Shen Dan Master in Alchemy skills.

He Tianxiong is the Shen Dan Master’s most proud disciple, so with He Mo’s death, how could the Shen Dan Master just stand by?

Meanwhile, He Tianxiong received the news, and was extremely furious, having already headed to Tianfeng City with a group of powerful followers, eager to assist him due to his influence.

After the news of He Mo’s death reached Zangling Valley, the higher-ups were furiously enraged.

“Just after He Mo sent back news about Feng Wuchen’s arrival in Jiuzhou, he was killed, it must be Feng Wuchen’s doing!” a high-ranking individual said angrily.

An elder with a gloomy face said, “With the prestige of the Shen Dan Master, no one in Jiuzhou would dare to touch He Mo. On one side there’s the Shen Dan Master, and on the other side Zangling Valley. Even the major powers wouldn’t dare to act against He Mo, aside from Feng Wuchen, there can be no one else!”

“To kill He Mo is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Shen Dan Master, Feng Wuchen is surely doomed!”

The higher-ups all guessed it was the work of Feng Wuchen, but what they could not believe was that with Feng Zhengxiong in their hands, Feng Wuchen still dared to kill He Mo, especially since He Mo had the terrifying Shen Dan Master as his backer.

“Enraging the Shen Dan Master, Feng Wuchen is certainly dead without a doubt, but what about the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower? Won’t it end up in the hands of the Shen Dan Master?” a high-ranking individual asked with a frown, explaining that capturing Feng Zhengxiong was all for the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, which could not fall into someone else’s hands.

Valley Master frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly with a flash of ruthless killing intent, and said coldly, “His daring to kill means he is confident. Let him come to Zangling Valley himself! If we can’t get the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, then kill Feng Zhengxiong! Since the youngster wants to play rough, let’s play with him, for killing a member of Zangling Valley, we’ll break one of Feng Zhengxiong’s legs! Pass the message to Feng Wuchen and let’s see how many from Zangling Valley he can kill!”

“I’ll go break one of Feng Zhengxiong’s legs right now! It’ll also serve as an explanation to the Shen Dan Master!” a high-ranking official said viciously, clenching his fists tightly.

Valley Master said coldly, “Hmph, refuse the wine for toasting only to be forced to drink a penalty!”

Meanwhile, He Tianxiong had arrived in Tianfeng City with a dozen or so powerful individuals, and upon seeing the tragically deceased He Mo, his eyes filled with blood, brimming with murderous intent.

“Who exactly was it?” He Tianxiong roared in anger, causing the people on the street to retreat in fear.

Feng Wuchen and his two companions had already left Tianfeng City.

“They are not from Tianfeng City, we don’t know their origins, they have left the city! A man and two women!” someone on the street yelled out.

“Chase them down!” He Tianxiong ordered furiously, with a dozen powerful individuals rushing out immediately.

The dozen or so powerhouses moved with astonishing speed, leaving Tianfeng City in a blink, all of them at the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm or above, with the strongest at the Ninth Level of the Yuandan Realm!

Being able to rally so many powerful individuals as a Third-grade Alchemist shows just how well He Tianxiong has been getting around in Jiuzhou.

“Having offended He Tianxiong, that young man’s fate is likely grim.”

“Grim? I think he is as good as dead! The Shen Dan Master will not sit idly by, he’s really seeking his own death.”

“That being said, the young man’s strength is truly terrifying; even the young master Zhang is no match for him.”

After He Tianxiong left, the people on the street began to talk amongst themselves.

Feng Wuchen and his companions had long since left Tianfeng City, and He Tianxiong now pursuing them would not be able to find them at all.

First, they did not know who the person was, second, they had never seen Feng Wuchen, and third, they did not know which direction Feng Wuchen and his companions had gone.

He Tianxiong was so angry he was fuming, on the verge of exploding.

Tomorrow was also the seventieth birthday of the Xiao Family Head, and both He Tianxiong and the Shen Dan Master were invited. They no longer had time to pursue Feng Wuchen and had to give up the chase for the time being, with no other choice.

Luckily they did not find him, for if He Tianxiong had gone, it would have been a death mission. A mere Third-grade Alchemist and a dozen Yuandan Realm experts were nothing but ants in front of Feng Wuchen.

The next morning, various powers of different sizes in Jiuzhou as well as Loose Cultivator strongmen, anyone who received an invitation, had already started to head to the Xiao family’s estate one after another.

Feng Wuchen and his two companions were also on their way to the Xiao family.

Xiao Qingqing hadn’t returned to the Xiao family for eighteen years, and her current mood was incredibly complex: there was worry, joy, sorrow, anticipation, and also helplessness.

Seeing the complex emotions on Xiao Qingqing’s face, Feng Wuchen said, “Mother, don’t worry, everything still has me.”

Xiao Qingqing nodded, her heart feeling much calmer. Having Feng Wuchen there, she felt much more at ease.

“Mother, the Xiao family is so heartless. This visit to calm relations is purely because they covet my status as an Artifact Refiner and Alchemist,” Feng Wuchen said.

Xiao Qingqing nodded, understanding fully the Xiao family’s intention: they were indeed eyeing Feng Wuchen for his accomplishments in Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

“`

“Mother knows, the Xiao family has indeed disappointed me too much; in their eyes, there’s only interest,” Xiao Qingqing said.

The grand and luxurious Xiao family residence was bustling with life, with strong warriors as numerous as clouds.

“Nangong family has come to offer birthday congratulations!” shouted a guard at the Xiao residence.

The Family Head of the Nangong family and other senior members saluted and gave their well-wishes.

“Nangong Family Head, elders, please come in!” Xiao Family Head, Xiao Tianchen, greeted them politely with a wide smile, looking very amiable.

“Valley Master of Zangling Valley and the three great elders have come to offer birthday congratulations!”

“Sect Master of Fenglan Sect, the protector, and the five great elders are here to offer birthday congratulations!”

“Sect Master of Xiewang Sect, the protector, and the three great elders have come to offer birthday congratulations!”

“Shen Dan Master, He Tianxiong, is here to offer birthday congratulations!”

“…”

Various powers from all over Jiuzhou had successively arrived, and the appearance of the mighty ones from the big powers sparked extreme excitement among the cultivators present, their gazes sweeping across these giants from Jiuzhou and the outstanding figures from each power.

There were dozens of warriors at the Third Layer and Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, and even six or seven at the Fifth Level of the Tianyuan Realm, including two powerful individuals at the Sixth Layer, whose strength was extremely terrifying!

Xiao Tianchen and the upper echelons of the Xiao family politely received and entertained them, smiling broadly, clearly delighted.

It was Xiao Tianchen’s seventieth birthday, and almost all the big powers and strong warriors from Jiuzhou had come, showcasing the high status of the Xiao family in Jiuzhou.

So many cultivators had come to pay their respects that the huge hall and courtyard of the Xiao residence were packed with people, and the birthday gifts alone were enough to make one’s hands cramp.

While Xiao Tianchen and the upper echelons of the Xiao family were happily receiving the mighty ones from the various powers, the shout that came from the guards next changed Xiao Tianchen and the elders’ expressions to a darker hue.

“Madam Feng of the Yanhuo Empire’s Feng family has come to offer birthday congratulations!”

As the guard’s shout rang out, Xiao Tianchen’s brow furrowed, and his smile instantly stiffened.

“Madam Feng of the Yanhuo Empire?” The strong warriors from the various powers looked at each other in confusion. Had the Xiao family even invited people from the Yanhuo Empire?

The perplexed gazes of the crowd turned toward the gate of the Xiao residence, and at that moment, Xiao Qingqing walked in with Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao.

“Is she… Xiao Tianchen’s daughter, Xiao Qingqing?” An elder from the Nangong family suddenly exclaimed, though he seemed somewhat uncertain.

“That’s right! It’s indeed that little girl from back then! I hardly recognize her anymore!”

“Family Head Xiao, what’s going on here? Didn’t you say that you’ve severed relations?”

“It really is Xiao Qingqing! After so many years away, she’s actually come back!”

The strong warriors from the various powers were shocked to see Xiao Qingqing, all feeling quite surprised.

The lively courtyard suddenly fell silent.

“Qingqing pays birthday respects to dad.” Having entered the courtyard, Xiao Qingqing gave her salutations.

Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao remained silent, with Feng Wuchen simply casting a cursory glance over the strong warriors present, and at most, giving Xiao Tianchen an extra look. His face showed a hint of indifference.

However, what surprised Feng Wuchen was that amongst those present were his old friends, including Huangfu Tianba and Huangfu Yunzhong, along with several strong warriors from the Huangfu family!

“It seems the Huangfu family is indeed in Jiuzhou. That old guy at the Fifth Level of the Tianyuan Realm must be the Sect Master of Xiewang Sect!” Feng Wuchen’s cold gaze swept over Huangfu Tianba and the others.

Huangfu Tianba had now broken through to the First Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, his strength undoubtedly terrifying.

“Dad, our chance for revenge has come! I didn’t expect Feng Wuchen to actually be in Jiuzhou!” Huangfu Yunzhong whispered, a flash of vicious killing intent in his eyes.

“It’s really unexpected. Xiao Tianchen turns out to be Feng Wuchen’s grandfather!” Huangfu Tianba furrowed his brows deeply, his expression worried.

The Huangfu clan was not aware of the stiff relationship between the Feng family and the Xiao family.

What Feng Wuchen was particularly concerned about was the two strong warriors at the Sixth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm present, the Family Head of the Nangong family and the Valley Master of Zangling Valley.

“So, you still know to come back!” Xiao Tianchen barked sternly, his face showing a hint of anger as he then looked toward Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao standing behind Xiao Qingqing.

However, after eighteen years without seeing each other, Xiao Tianchen’s heart was also stirring with some emotion.

“Dad, that kid there is Feng Wuchen!” Xiao Qingshan said angrily, his fierce gaze fixed on Feng Wuchen.

Xiao Tianchen nodded, his gaze still on Feng Wuchen as he thought to himself, “This brat has completely concealed his aura; I can’t tell the depth of his cultivation.”

“So, that’s Feng Wuchen?” The Xiao family’s upper echelons’ faces turned instantly dark, each looking as though they wished they could devour Feng Wuchen.

“Family Head, Feng Wuchen is indeed a Fourth Rank Alchemist, and his Soul Power is extremely robust, even more terrifying than mine!” The Great Elder whispered, shocked at the strong Soul Power emanating from Feng Wuchen.

“His Soul Power is stronger than yours?” Xiao Tianchen’s old face showed a trace of shock, his eyes widening as he looked at Feng Wuchen.
