Son, Put Your Father To The Test (FF)

On this particular day, Minghao City appeared no different from any other.

The sun was shining brightly.

The sky was clear and blue.

Flocks of white birds occasionally flew across the sky, complementing the grand and pristine City Lord's mansion at the center of the city.

This main city was bustling as always, filled with a mix of all kinds of people, both good and bad, with all sorts of events happening constantly.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the sky changed dramatically as clouds began to churn, and strong winds whipped through the air.

Countless people in Minghao City looked up in shock.

They saw five formidable golden lights roaring in from the horizon, with an overwhelming presence, like angry dragons sweeping across the land! "Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

The immense pressure spread like shockwaves, layer after layer, enveloping half of the city.

"Nirvana Realm powerhouses!"

"Five of them?!"

"How could so many Nirvana Realm powerhouses suddenly appear? What on earth has happened?"

At that moment, countless people were thrown into a panic.

Whoosh! At the same time, a golden light shot up from the City Lord's mansion, revealing the figure of Minghao City Lord Bai Chen.

He cupped his hands toward the five figures and greeted them with a smile, "I am Bai Chen, the City Lord of Minghao. May I ask how I should address you all?"

Among the five, the leader was a tall middle-aged man with green hair, dressed in a long green robe, with even his eyebrows the same green hue.

He glanced at Bai Chen and said coldly, "I am Feng Cang, the current head of the Feng family, and these four are elders of our Feng family."

Bai Chen's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

The Feng family!

This was one of the most prestigious families in the dynasty, on the same level as his own Bai family.

And judging by their posture, they were clearly not here for a friendly visit.

He took a deep breath, forcing a smile as he asked, "May I know what brings the Feng family to Minghao City?"

"Hmph! We are here for revenge!!"

Feng Cang snorted, his brows furrowing into a "川" shape, as a murderous aura surged from him.

"Your Minghao City's Qin Zi killed my son Feng Xiao. This hatred is irreconcilable, and I will ensure he dies without a corpse!"

"What?!"

Bai Chen's heart skipped a beat.

That brat actually killed Feng Xiao?!

This was big trouble.

The problem was… Qin Chuan wasn't in the city. He had just said goodbye last night, asking Bai Chen to look after Qin Zi.

What should he do?

Countless thoughts raced through his mind, and finally, he steeled himself, deciding to risk it all!

Immediately, his expression turned stern as he burst into a furious rage, "Outrageous! That Qin Zi dares commit such a heinous act!"

Facing Feng Cang, Bai Chen resolutely pounded his chest and said, "Please, come to the City Lord's mansion for tea. I will personally capture that little brat and hand him over to you!"

"There's no need."

Feng Cang said calmly.

"No need for words, Master Feng! As the City Lord, it is my responsibility to deal with this scum!"

Bai Chen waved his hand firmly, "Please, the five of you, come to the mansion for tea. I'll be back shortly!"

With that, he flew off in a murderous rage toward a particular direction.

At that moment, two Pure Yang Realm experts clad in silver armor flew out from the City Lord's mansion, respectfully making a "please" gesture.

"Master, shall we… rest for a while?" one of the Feng family elders suggested.

Feng Cang pondered briefly.

If they were to storm in, capture Qin Zi, and leave, it might seem… a bit lacking in dignity.

It would be more fitting to sit in the City Lord's mansion, having the City Lord himself run errands for them. That would maintain the image of being in control.

It wouldn't tarnish the Feng family's reputation.

"Very well."

Finally, he nodded and led the four Feng family elders into the City Lord's mansion, preparing to wait for Bai Chen to bring Qin Zi to them.

…

In the courtyard.

Qin Zi was in the midst of his training.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through, and a figure grabbed his hand, pulling him outside.

"Uncle Bai?!"

Qin Zi was startled, then quickly realized that the one dragging him was none other than Bai Chen! "Run! You need to escape!"

Bai Chen urged as they fled.

"What's happening?"

Qin Zi asked, bewildered.

"You killed Feng Xiao, and the Feng family has sent five Nirvana Realm powerhouses to Minghao City to kill you!"

Bai Chen said urgently.

"But I didn't kill Feng Xiao. My horse wasn't fast enough that day, and he got away." Qin Zi responded, still somewhat confused.

"What?"

Bai Chen was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Whether you killed him or not doesn't matter now. They want to kill you! You need to escape quickly. Your father isn't here, and no one in Minghao City can stop them!"

"Alright!"

Qin Zi nodded, then asked with concern, "If I leave, won't they cause trouble for you?"

"I'm a member of the Bai family and the City Lord of a royal city. They wouldn't dare harm me."

Bai Chen reassured him with a smile.

"That's good."

Qin Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know you have a secret technique that allows you to fly temporarily, but you can't fly now—it would make you an easy target. You'll have to take a carriage to leave the city."

Bai Chen said as he led Qin Zi into a merchant guild's premises, swiftly knocking out a few guards who tried to resist. Without time to explain, he used force to persuade the guild master and then shoved Qin Zi into a carriage.

"After you leave the city, put on a black robe and find a secluded place. Wait until you hear news that your father has returned before coming back to Minghao City."

Bai Chen urged with concern.

"Understood."

Qin Zi nodded, feeling a warm current flowing through his heart. He had never met his mother, but this feeling… could it be that…

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion came from above, and the entire roof was blown off, letting sunlight pour in.

"Ah!!"

The guild master and staff screamed in terror, immediately falling to their knees and burying their heads in the ground like ostriches.

Qin Zi and Bai Chen looked up abruptly, seeing five figures bathed in golden light hovering in the sky, looking down at them.

"Hehe, where do you think you're going?"

Feng Cang sneered.

"Run!!"

Bai Chen shouted, grabbing Qin Zi's wrist and hurling him into the air like a discus.

Then, his own body erupted with intense light, like a blazing sun, charging at the five members of the Feng family.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion shook the sky.

As Qin Zi looked back, he saw the five Feng family members shielded by a layer of golden light, unmoved, while Bai Chen's body floated down like a leaf, with a faint smile on his face, reaching out to Qin Zi, "Run… quickly…"

"Uncle Bai!"

Qin Zi's eyes welled up, but he knew that going back would be meaningless—only a dead end awaited him! So, he gritted his teeth, borrowing his master's power to boost his cultivation to the peak of the Pure Yang Realm, and swiftly flew away.

Meanwhile, Feng Cang glanced at the severely injured Bai Chen on the ground, his face filled with murderous intent.

But he held back.

After all, Bai Chen was a member of the Bai family and the City Lord of a royal city. Killing him would bring consequences that even the Feng family couldn't bear! "Hmph, chase him down!!"

He snorted coldly, leading the four Feng family elders in pursuit of Qin Zi.

Run?

You think it'll be that easy?

Today, he would ensure that this person had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, forcing him to experience true despair!!
