Chapter 103: Arrival at the Ren Family, A Fateful Encounter

Riding his Void Sky realm steed, Tian Gou took the lead while Leng Yanran and Li Yourong followed at a leisurely pace.

"Fairy, allow me to offer a word of advice. The Ren Family is not to be trifled with! The Ren Family has a Divinity Separation Realm Ancestor and wields significant influence in the Eastern Region. Please, don't mess with them!"

Throughout their journey, Tian Gou attempted to persuade them multiple times, though his words seemed to fall on deaf ears. Leng Yanran obviously didn't take it to heart.

As for the Ren Family's Divinity Separation Realm Ancestor, hehe, he has already become fertilizer and is probably cultivating tea tree at this point!

Naturally, Leng Yanran had no intention of explaining herself to Tian Gou. Instead, she occasionally pointed a finger towards his steed, urging it to move faster.

…

Xuantian City, City Lord's Residence.

"What! You say my son has been abducted? Who dares to be so audacious as to kidnap my son? And where are they headed? Why haven't you chased them immediately?"

The city lord erupted in anger upon hearing the steward Zhang's report.

"City Lord… The young master went of his own accord, and it was he who sent this old servant away. As for the other party, they are likely on their way to the Ren Family," the steward explained.

"Ah…" The city lord's anger seemed to subside slightly upon hearing the mention of the Ren Family.

If the Ren Family was indeed involved, then this situation had escalated far beyond what he had anticipated. That troublesome youngster – how dare he provoke even the Ren Family?

"It's not...," the steward quickly clarified, succinctly recounting everything he knew to the city lord.

"Hmm… This city is temporarily entrusted to you!"

After listening, the City Lord left only a word of advice before disappearing directly from the residence, heading towards the direction of the Ren Family.

The fact that the other party was causing trouble at the Ren Family and had taken his son along meant that no matter the outcome, the Ren Family would inevitably blame Xuantian City. He wasn't sure of the identities of the two who had abducted his son, but one thing was certain: Xuantian City couldn't afford to provoke the Ren Family.

"I hope I can make it in time!"

The City Lord pushed himself to the limit, his heart filled with unease. The main reason for his anxiety was that the Ren Family was too close to Xuantian City!

Moreover, Xuantian City is actually one of the subsidiary cities under the Ren Family's control!

...…

The Ren Family's main headquarters alone encompasses an entire city! And now, Leng Yanran and others stood before the Ren Family's city gates.

"Fairy, we've arrived!"

Tian Gou looked at the Ren Family, which was just within arm's reach, his voice tinged with trepidation. Meanwhile, the exhausted horse beneath him collapsed to the ground, unwilling to rise again.

"So, this is the Ren Family." Leng Yanran gazed at the grandeur of the Ren Family's structures, her heart unperturbed.

"Ants of the Ren Family, I give you the span of an incense stick, and those who swear to leave the family will live. After that, there will be no mercy for any Ren Family member!"

Leng Yanran rose into the air, her gaze condescending upon the expanse of the Ren Family's buildings. Before the Ren Family guards could retort or question her motives, she directly diffused her voice with spiritual energy, ensuring her words reached every individual's ears.

"Ants of the Ren Family, I grant you the span of an incense stick to come out and face retribution!"

Witnessing this, Li Yourong followed suit, coming to Leng Yanran's side and mimicking her posture. After delivering her statement, she even turned to gaze at Tian Gou, who was attempting to slip away discreetly.

"It's your turn, don't be shy!"

Li Yourong's eyes were filled with encouragement as she motioned for him to speak. But these words landed in Tian Gou's ears, causing him to stumble and sit directly on the ground.

"Fairy, please spare me…"

If he had known these two fairies were so formidable, he would have already regretted provoking them. He had initially thought they were merely here to cause some trouble, but the Ice-cold fairy had unexpectedly declared her intention to flatten the Ren Family after the incense stick burned out.

What was this? Furthermore, not only was he coerced into staying, but now he was also being forced to speak up? How could he possibly dare?

"Coward!"

Seeing his reaction, Li Yourong muttered under her breath, not pushing him any further.

Ren family.

After hearing the call, there was a panic at first. Although the outside world does not know the current situation of their Ren family, but they themselves were very clear.

On that day, Patriarch Ren, the clan head and even the four elders all went to the Northern Region. But once they went, they never came back and the soul card was broken too.

These days, the Ren family has been concealing this news, trying to delay as much as possible. But today, someone knocked at the door. If the other party came prepared and knew about the situation of the Ren family, it would be a disaster!

"Patriarch, there is no way for us to hide, why don't we go and have a look! If it's really a disaster, with our Ren family's formation, it will be enough to last for a while. No matter how grave the situation will be, we can use that trump card to survive this crisis."

Several temporary elders at the Boundless Realm and the Annihilation Realm came to the new Patriarch to report.

And the new head of the Ren family was only in the Boundless realm.

In the Eastern Territory, although he could be considered strong, he was far from being able to regain the peak of the Ren family!

"Let's Go!"

Following the Patriarch's order, all the current strongest members of the Ren family, three of the Boundless Realm and more than a dozen experts of the Annihilation Realm, appeared one after another.

If the other party was unaware of the Ren Family's situation, they might as well put on a show!

However, as the crowd saw the challengers outside the gates, they were somewhat dumbfounded.

"One in the Profound Realm and one in the Unity Realm?"

"Seriously?"

"Damn, we thought it was some powerful faction coming to our doorstep. Turns out it's just two insignificant youngsters. How laughable!"

As the onlookers grasped the strength of Leng Yanran and others, not only did their worries dissipate, but a tinge of indignation emerged. Little did they expect that two mere juniors could make the mighty Ren Family feel threatened, almost making them burst into laughter!

"Hold on! Patriarch, that individual in the Profound Sky Realm seems to be one of the Holy Maidens from the Holy Mountain. Although she rarely descends the mountain, I happened to cross paths with her during a visit to the Holy Mountain!"

Suddenly, an elder turned to Li Yourong after a moment of bewilderment. Given Li Yourong's distinctive features, once seen, they were hard to forget.

"Hmm? Are you saying that person is from the Holy Mountain? But the Holy Mountain has never meddled in the affairs of the Eastern Domain. How could they target our Ren Family?" The head of the Ren Family was momentarily puzzled.

Upon learning of the ancestral elder's fall, the Ren Family had immediately sent a significant amount of heavenly treasures to the Holy Mountain, as well as lavish offerings to the Wang family and Xiaoyao Palace, all in the hopes of concealing the news of their ancestor's demise.

"Seems like no one is backing down. In that case, everyone, let's proceed."

Leng Yanran's gaze swept over the dozen or so powerful figures from the Ren Family. Although the lowest cultivation realm among them was in the Annihilation Realm, she felt no pressure whatsoever.

As her words trailed off, she deftly retrieved the God Slaying Spear bestowed by her master and, like a wolf among sheep, dashed forward, instantly launching an attack!
