Chapter 1054: Chapter 1016: Duanmu Qingruo? (Please Subscribe)_1
Xu Sheng smiled as he asked, "No more talking? Didn't you just say the Feng Family could produce anything? What, are you playing me?"
Seeing the tone of his speech and the smiling expression on his face, the man's cheeks involuntarily displayed a deep color of fear...
He immediately knelt down on his own accord, pleading, "No... I dare not, sir, please spare us. Our Feng Family is just a small clan! We really can't produce anything significant!"
What the Feng Family considered treasures might be seen as trash in the eyes of the other party!
As for what the other party had said about taking over the entire Feng Family, if the Family Head were to find out, wouldn't he have him killed!
Xu Sheng gazed at the man's forehead, wet with beads of sweat, and said indifferently, "Alright, it was just a little joke! What do I want with your little Feng Family!"
Upon hearing these words, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank... Thank you, sir, for sparing my life!!"
Standing to the side, Zhou Qingruo spoke coldly, "You're like an ant!"
To someone who had so decisively thrown away their dignity, they did not even have the right to be killed by her!
Meanwhile, Duanmu Lian swept these people of the Feng Family with her beautiful eyes and said coldly, "From today forward, your Feng Family will immediately leave this place. If anyone asks, say it was Duanmu Lian's word!"
Upon hearing the name "Duanmu," the men kneeling on the ground felt a tightening in their chests and exclaimed with alarm, "Duan... Duanmu Lian?? Are you a member of the Duanmu Clan??"
"Duanmu Lian... Duanmu Lian, isn't this the name of the Immortal Monarch-level expert from the Duanmu Clan! How could she still be so young!!"
"How could it be, she's actually a member of the Duanmu Clan!! Then aren't we courting trouble on their turf???"
In an instant, everyone's face turned the color of death, who could have thought that this woman was from the Duanmu Clan!
Most importantly, this Duanmu Lian was an Immortal Monarch-level expert of the Duanmu Clan, and since she had spoken, it meant that the Feng Family's chances of continuing to prosper here were now impossible!
The man leading them clenched his teeth and said, "Yes... We will definitely report your words to the Family Head and leave this place as soon as possible!"
After they had spoken, Xu Sheng barked sternly, "Get lost!"
A massive shockwave erupted instantaneously from him, blasting towards the front...
The disciples of the Feng Family were scattered and smashed onto the ground, a truly pitiful sight!
Duanmu Lian glanced at the Feng Family disciples sprawled on the ground and said to Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo, "Let's go, Xu Sheng, Qingruo, no need to bother with them!"
After speaking, she turned around, ready to leave...
Upon hearing this, the two uttered a soft "Hmm!" and followed her pace...
...
Soon, Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo followed Duanmu Lian to the outskirts of the Duanmu Family residence...
To the naked eye, it was clear that the actual size of the Duanmu Family's dwelling wasn't overly exaggerated, but it was still incredibly vast!
At the very least, it was much larger than the average sect! This also indirectly showed the strength of the Duanmu Clan in the Cultivation World!
Xu Sheng quietly released his spiritual power to sense the entire Duanmu Family, and after a few seconds, a palpable excitement surged within him...
He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "There are very strong spirit force fluctuations inside! Even stronger than Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian!"
Without a doubt, this person had to be the Elder Family Head of the Duanmu Family, an expert whose cultivation level had transcended the Immortal Monarch Realm!
Duanmu Lian chuckled, "Let's go inside"
Having said that, she pushed open the grand doors of the Duanmu Family estate and walked in first...
The Duanmu Family disciples who were cultivating, upon seeing Duanmu Lian enter, immediately recognized her...
Whispers burst forth, "Elder Lian has returned! Quickly, inform the Sect Master!"
"It's truly Elder Lian, almost ten thousand years old and yet still so beautiful and captivating! If I could find a companion like Elder Lian, that would be wonderful!"
"Yes! Unfortunately, Elder Lian prefers women."
Zhou Qingruo and Xu Sheng, who had just entered the Duanmu family estate, happened to overhear this remark and glanced dubiously towards Duanmu Lian!
Especially the former, whose eyes were filled with a hint of vigilance!
Duanmu Lian coughed twice, "Ahem... ahem..."
She hurriedly explained, "Qingruo, Xu Sheng, don't look at me with that kind of gaze; it's just that being nearly ten thousand years old without a partner, everyone in the Duanmu Clan thinks I like women!"
After saying this, her eyes covertly swept over Zhou Qingruo...
Xu Sheng, as if deep in thought, said, "Is that so? When I heard it just now, I thought it was true. Otherwise, why would you come looking for Qingruo?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo was taken aback...
Her exquisite cheeks turned blazing hot in seconds, revealing a soft blush...
Feeling somewhat embarrassed inside, she thought, "Xu Sheng is calling me 'Qingruo' so intimately?? This... this..."
Could it be that Xu Sheng also harbored such feelings for her?
Duanmu Lian commented with a smacking of her lips, "Tsk tsk tsk, Xu Sheng, you've even said such intimate words to Qingruo. Are you ready to take on a man's responsibility for her?"
Xu Sheng simply replied with a smile, "No, we've known each other for so long. Calling Miss Qingruo would be too distant!"
While the three of them were talking, the Duanmu Family Disciples also noticed that there were others beside Duanmu Lian!
A curious Duanmu Family Disciple asked, "Why are there other people with Elder Lian? Are they her friends?"
Another disciple squinted their eyes and exclaimed, "Wait... that woman... looks like Duanmu Qingruo!!"
"Hiss... Duanmu Qingruo? Isn't she the Elder who betrayed our Duanmu family? Why has she come back? Doesn't she know that our Duanmu Clan does not welcome her?"
"Why has Elder Lian brought her back? If the Family Head sees this, it will be troublesome!"
"We in the Duanmu Family do not welcome traitors back, not even if they were once an Elder!"
Hearing these words, Xu Sheng looked questioningly at Zhou Qingruo...
The fleeting blush that had decorated her cheeks had disappeared, replaced by a cold sternness...
She explained to Xu Sheng, "Just as you guessed, I was indeed once one of the Elders of the Duanmu Clan, but I severed ties with the Duanmu Clan over some unpleasant matters."
Xu Sheng simply nodded without further inquiry. Although she spoke lightly, these matters were certainly not so simple!
Duanmu Lian, worried, said, "Qingruo, are you alright?"
Somewhere in her heart, she doubted if she had made a mistake bringing her back to the Duanmu Clan...
Zhou Qingruo shook her head and said to Xu Sheng, "I'm fine. Let's leave this place, Xu Sheng. Of course, if you choose to stay, I won't force you."
Having said that, without waiting for Xu Sheng's response, she turned to leave...
However, at that very moment, a voice suddenly resonated through the surrounding space...
"Now that you are here, where do you think you are going?"
