After Accidentally Marrying My Sister-in-law, My 10,000x Cultivation Begins

Feng Ming leaned down, his gaze piercing straight into Li Cheng’s eyes like a cold blade, his tone devoid of any warmth. ”You gathered people to surround and block me, and you threatened to harm Shuwan. How could this debt be settled with a mere sixty million Spirit Stones?”

The surrounding air instantly froze. Qin Hu and Guan Rong, who had just finished refining their Medicinal Pills and stood up after adjusting their breathing, felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this. The awe in their eyes as they looked at Feng Ming grew even stronger.

Only now did they truly see clearly that the master they had sworn to follow to the death, though seemingly gentle and steady, was actually decisive and ruthless. He would never waver in his principles because of others’ pleas or enticements.

Jiang Shuwan walked slowly to Feng Ming’s side and gently grasped his wrist. There was no surprise in her eyes, only complete trust and understanding.

She knew Feng Ming too well. Li Cheng had crossed his bottom line, and he would never let this grudge go easily.

Feng Mian slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, ”Good! This is the younger brother I know. I knew you couldn’t be soft-hearted. This scum frightened Shuwan and even dared to bring people to surround you. How could we let him walk out of the Liangzhou Trial alive!”

Li Cheng completely lost his nerve. He slumped on the ground, using both hands and feet to scramble backward, crying out for mercy in a tone full of despair: ”Feng Ming! You’re breaking your word! My father won’t let you off! Our Li family will never let this matter rest!”

”The Li family?” Feng Ming stood up, his tone so indifferent it was almost detached. ”Do you think that after today, the Li family will still be in a position to cause me trouble?”

The moment his voice fell, in a private room of the Hua Clan Merchant House outside the trial grounds, Feng Da received Feng Ming’s message. He looked up at the anxious Father Chen opposite him, a cold, mocking smile curling his lips.

Father Chen was holding a teacup, waiting for a reply. Seeing Feng Da’s expression, his heart sank for some reason. He asked in a deep voice, ”What? Has little friend Feng Ming received the Spirit Stones? When will he release my son?”

”Release?” Feng Da set down his teacup and slowly stood up, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable authority. ”Manager Chen, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood from the very beginning.”

”What my master wants has never been these sixty million Spirit Stones, but an accounting. These Spirit Stones shall serve as an apology for Li Cheng disturbing the Mistress. As for his life, it cannot be spared.”

”What did you say?!” Father Chen slammed the table and stood up, his face ashen. He shouted angrily, ”Feng Ming dares! My Li family has handed over sixty million Spirit Stones, and he still wants to kill my son? Does he really think my Li family is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed at will?”

”Whether you’re a soft persimmon or not, you’ll find out soon enough.” Feng Da’s tone was indifferent as he added, ”Also, let me remind you that the people from the Feng Residence are already waiting outside the Li family estate.”

”You took out sixty million Spirit Stones today, greatly damaging the Li family’s strength. From now on in Liang Province, I’m afraid you’ll no longer have a place to stand.”

Father Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He staggered back two steps and only managed to steady himself by grabbing the edge of the table. He never imagined that Feng Ming not only wanted to kill his son but had even set a trap in advance to take over the Li family.

At this moment, he finally realized that he had misjudged everything from the start.

He thought Feng Ming was just a newcomer who relied on talent to show off, but he didn’t know the other party was meticulous and calculating. From the moment Li Cheng provoked Jiang Shuwan, he had already dug a grave of no return for the Li family.

Inside the trial grounds, Li Cheng’s shouting became increasingly hysterical. Feng Ming didn’t even bother to look at him again, simply nodding his chin toward Qin Hu and saying concisely, ”Handle it.”

Qin Hu responded and stepped forward, his movements clean and efficient without any hesitation. After a moment, Li Cheng’s screams came to an abrupt halt, and he was completely lifeless.

Feng Ming looked around the trial grounds. The hidden gazes that had been watching the commotion instinctively looked away when they met his eyes.
