Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Draw a Clear Line Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Draw a Clear Line Xiao Yuanshan, the eldest elder of the Xiao family, was a Fourth Grade Alchemist, and it was not hard for him to notice Feng Wuchen’s robust and overwhelming soul power.

Exactly because he could see it at a glance, Xiao Yuanshan was so shocked.

“This youngster is actually a Fourth Grade Alchemist!”

“This young man’s talent for alchemy is extremely high, and his soul power is immensely potent!”

“It’s hard to believe…”

The Shen Dan Masters, He Tianxiong, and the other alchemists present, one after another showed shocked faces as they all recognized Feng Wuchen’s realm as a Fourth Grade Alchemist. To reach the level of a Fourth Grade Alchemist at such a young age was a testament to his extraordinary alchemy genius!

“That youngster is a Fourth Grade Alchemist?” Upon hearing the Shen Dan Master’s cry of astonishment, the strong figures from the various major forces were taken aback.

“He’s actually a Fourth Grade Alchemist too? How is this possible…” Zhang Bufan, from the Zhang family, was the most shocked of all present. He simply could not believe that Feng Wuchen was also a Fourth Grade Alchemist.

Zhang Bufan, hailed as one of the geniuses of Tianfeng City, thought back to the arrogant words Feng Wuchen had said to him in Tianfeng City and instantly felt as if all his pride and dignity had been brutally trampled upon.

Young in age, with not only powerful cultivation but also a talented alchemist, such astonishing achievements made it impossible for Zhang Bufan to even be mentioned in the same breath as Feng Wuchen.

Seeing Zhang Bufan’s shocked expression, the head of the Zhang family asked, “Bufan, do you know him?”

Zhang Bufan shook his head and said, “I don’t know him, he’s the one who killed He Mo from my hands.”

“What? The one who killed He Mo is him?” The senior members of the Zhang family’s expressions changed drastically.

“That’s right! His strength is terrifying. Although we only exchanged one move, he did not even activate his True Yuan, and his speed was already beyond my perception; his cultivation must be in the Tianyuan Realm!” said Zhang Bufan, frowning more and more as he thought about it, and growing increasingly wary.

While Zhang Bufan was wary, he was also extremely angry inside.

The news of Feng Wuchen killing someone had spread almost throughout Jiuzhou, which was a great blow to his face!

For a moment, the shocked gazes of everyone in the courtyard fell on Feng Wuchen.

What was the background of this young man? What was his relationship with Xiao Qingqing? To think he was a Fourth Grade Alchemist!

People were both puzzled and curious, wondering who exactly this young alchemy prodigy was.

“Sect Master of the Xiewang Sect, that youngster is Feng Wuchen,” Huangfu Tianba whispered.

“Oh? He’s the Wind Wuchen, the Grand Commander of the Yanhuo Empire, the ‘Thought-Forming Instrumentation’ Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner?” The Sect Master of the Xiewang Sect was shocked once again, his eyes widening.

Huangfu Yunzhong’s eyes flickered with a ruthless desire to kill as he said in a deep voice, “That’s him, he has now reached the Tianyuan Realm, his strength is extremely terrifying, and his methods are vicious. The Huangfu family was ruined by his hands!”

“I can’t believe that an eighteen-year-old youngster could be a ‘Thought-Forming Instrumentation’ Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner! And at the same time, a Fourth Grade Alchemist! Plus, his cultivation even broke through to the Tianyuan Realm!” the Sect Master of the Xiewang Sect said in a daze, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, struggling to believe it.

Seeing the easing expression on Xiao Tianchen’s astonished face and the dark countenances of the Xiao family’s high-level members gradually disappearing, Huangfu Tianba frowned and thought to himself, “The relationship between the Feng and Xiao families seems…”

Aside from the Huangfu family, the Xiao family, and those who had just learned of Feng Wuchen’s identity, the others present knew nothing about Feng Wuchen.

They might have heard of Feng Wuchen’s notorious reputation and knew some things about him, but they had never seen Feng Wuchen in person.

“The young man, the beautiful young woman, one man, two women—could it be that they are the ones who killed He Mo?” The Shen Dan Master frowned deeply, staring sharply at Feng Wuchen as if he were confronting a person of remarkable power.

In Jiuzhou, there were not many who dared to kill He Mo, and the three people before them matched the description of He Mo’s killers. Not just the Shen Dan Master, but He Tianxiong and many others present were speculating too.

But without complete certainty, they dared not jump to conclusions, especially since Xiao Qingqing was from the Xiao family, and to some extent, they had to give the Xiao family some face.

Feng Wuchen, who was aware of the situation, calmly glanced at the Shen Dan Master as if he were looking at an ordinary person, and after a brief moment, he shifted his gaze away.

There weren’t many among the many powerful figures present who posed a threat to Feng Wuchen. Apart from the cultivators who were at the Fifth and Sixth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, Feng Wuchen was not worried about the others.

Even the Fifth Grade Alchemists, Feng Wuchen did not take seriously.

There were three Fifth Grade Alchemists present, a few Fourth Grade Alchemists, and Feng Wuchen simply ignored the rest who were Third or Second Grade.

There were also quite a few Artifact Refiners present, but the strongest was only at the Fourth Grade level of Artifact Refining.

To Feng Wuchen, none of these alchemists and Artifact Refiners posed any threat.

How could their child’s play compare to the artifact refining and alchemy of the Evil Dragon God?

“Family Head, do not be enraged. The Xiao family’s desire to grow stronger in Jiuzhou still depends on Feng Wuchen,” Xiao Yuanshan softly reminded.

Hearing this, Xiao Tianchen’s shocked face finally showed a trace of relief, and the unpleasant expressions of the Xiao family’s high-level members gradually faded away.

Xiao Tianchen’s grand birthday celebration gathered various major and minor powers from Jiuzhou as well as many strong individuals. How could he allow the Xiao family to lose face in front of so many powerful figures?

“Qingqing, it’s rare for you to come back from the Flame Empire to celebrate your father’s birthday, your thoughtfulness is appreciated.” Xiao Tianchen nodded, his tone becoming much gentler.

“Father, besides coming back to celebrate your birthday, there’s another matter.” Xiao Qingqing then continued.

Xiao Tianchen’s brows furrowed slightly, as if he had guessed what she wanted to say, then replied, “Whatever it is, let’s talk about it later.”

“Qingqing, today is the Family Head’s grand birthday, we can’t neglect the guests. Whatever it is, it can wait until the celebration is over.” Xiao Yuanshan said kindly with a smile.

“I’ll leave right after I finish speaking!” Xiao Qingqing hastily said, “It won’t delay father’s grand celebration, I hope the seniors won’t take offense.”

“Qingqing!” Xiao Qingshan exclaimed sharply, just as he was about to say something, but he was stopped by Xiao Tianchen.

Focusing his gaze on Xiao Qingqing, Xiao Tianchen said, “Go ahead and speak.”

“Father, it’s been eighteen years. When my brother came to find me, I was so happy, thinking that father had come around. But later, I realized how naive I was. It turns out that for the past eighteen years, it was just me wishfully waiting. Eighteen years is too long, and my affection for the Xiao family has faded. When brother came to find me the second time, I truly understood that I mean nothing to the Xiao family, only of value when useful! Father, your seventieth birthday, your daughter has come to pay her respects, fulfilling her filial duty.” Xiao Qingqing said, holding back her sorrow and shedding two lines of tears.

Hearing Xiao Qingqing’s words, Xiao Tianchen and the high-ranking members of the Xiao family looked extremely disgruntled; Xiao Qingqing was undoubtedly drawing a clear line with the Xiao family.

“Sigh…” Xiao Yuanshan sighed helplessly, having already anticipated such an outcome.

If Xiao Tianchen had not been so ruthless back then, it would not have led to this situation.

It was a pity that everything was too late; the Xiao family only decided to ease relations after seeing Feng Wuchen’s achievements, which was already too late.

Xiao Qingqing knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Tianchen, and after getting up, she declared resolutely, “From now on, I, Xiao Qingqing, am no longer a member of the Xiao family. The Xiao family has no relation whatsoever with the Feng family!”

Xiao Qingqing’s decision was very decisive, without any hesitation. The heartlessness of the Xiao family left her deeply disappointed.

Xiao Qingqing already had her own family, the Xiao family was no longer important to her. What mattered now was the Feng family; as the mother of Feng Wuchen, she would not let the unfeeling Xiao family drag Feng Wuchen into an abyss, nor would she allow the Xiao family to exploit him.

Although this was not the outcome Xiao Qingqing wanted, nothing could be changed now.

“From now on, I, Xiao Qingqing, will never set foot in the Xiao family again!” Xiao Qingqing turned and left, never mentioning Feng Wuchen to the Xiao family from beginning to end.

Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao also did not speak; this was a matter between Xiao Qingqing and the Xiao family, and Feng Wuchen never intended to interfere. They then left the Xiao family amidst the shocked and puzzled looks of everyone.

The Xiao family was left in dead silence.

Xiao Tianchen’s face was extremely somber; their intention to use Feng Wuchen to strengthen the Xiao family had completely failed, and Xiao Qingqing did not give the Xiao family the slightest chance.

“As I suspected.” Huangfu Tianba’s eyes narrowed slightly, putting his heart completely at ease.

Without the backing of the Xiao family, Huangfu Tianba and his group would not fear Feng Wuchen, especially since the power of Xiewang Sect was not weaker than that of the Xiao family.

“Let the birthday feast continue!” After a long silence, Xiao Tianchen spoke, his face seemingly restored to calm, but a nearly imperceptible murderous intent flashed across his old eyes.

Although the crowd didn’t know what was going on, at this moment, they had the sense not to ask, as it was the Xiao family’s affair. Why ask when one should not air another’s dirty laundry?

“Shen Dan Master, the one who killed He Mo is that young man just now.” After Feng Wuchen and the other two had left, Zhang Bufan whispered to the Shen Dan Master.

“Him?” The Shen Dan Master was taken aback for a moment, then furiously said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“Shen Dan Master knows that the Zhang family’s strength is far inferior to the Xiao family’s. How could we dare to offend during the Xiao family head’s grand birthday?” Zhang Bufan replied with a helpless wry smile.

He Tianxiong’s face twisted ferociously, his eyes glinting with intense murderous intent as he gritted his teeth and said, “I will never forgive him! Send someone to keep an eye on that boy immediately!”

“So that young man was Feng Wuchen! He keeps a deep profile and should not be underestimated! Bringing back Feng Zhengxiong seems to have been the right move.” The Valley Master of Zangling Valley frowned, glancing towards a high-ranking member of Zangling Valley, giving a subtle indication, and that member nodded before departing.

The high-ranking members of the Nangong noble family and Fenglan Sect, two great forces, appeared to have sensed something, but remained calm and collected.

Upon leaving the Xiao family, Xiao Qingqing felt as if she had become much younger.

“Mother, do you have any regrets about your decision?” Feng Wuchen asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingqing shook her head and smiled, “After making the decision, the burden in my heart that has persisted for many years has disappeared. Although this is not the outcome I wanted, I have no regrets. Compared to the relentless Xiao family, I care more bout the Feng family because I have you.”

“Having dealt with the Xiao family’s affair, what’s left is father’s matter!” Feng Wuchen nodded, his mind at ease.

“Brother Feng, the major forces must have guessed that it was you who killed He Mo. That Shen Dan Master will not let it go easily, and I also saw Huangfu Tianba and the others. Indeed, the Huangfu family has found a backing, which seems to be Xiewang Sect. Their aura is very evil.” Ling Xiaoxiao said, her expression serious.

“The Huangfu family’s account will be settled sooner or later!” Feng Wuchen said coldly, “How could I fear them when I dare to set foot in Jiuzhou?”
