Chapter 186: Make Your Move, Regardless of Life or Death
"Xia Lengchan, immediately call the Tian and Lu Families. If they've kidnapped her, tell them that if Hong Qingyan is missing even a single hair, I will exterminate their entire clan!"
Ye Feng glared furiously, his whole body exuding murderous fury.
Xia Lengchan was taken aback, having followed Ye Feng for such a long time, this was the first time she had seen her own master erupt in anger, and his murderous aura was truly terrifying.
Without any hesitation, she immediately took out her cell phone and dialed the number again.
Ye Feng turned and strode towards the elevator.
Just as the two got into the car, Xia Lengchan's cell phone suddenly rang.
"My Lord, it's a call from the Lu Family," Xia Lengchan said.
"Answer it!" Ye Feng commanded.
As soon as the call connected, the person on the other end spoke in a cold voice, "Let your master answer the phone."
Xia Lengchan had no choice but to hand the phone to Ye Feng, while she herself started the car and roared out of the hotel parking lot.
"So, it's you who killed the members of the Lu Family?" the voice on the phone sneered coldly.
"Who are you? Also, is Hong Qingyan with you?" Ye Feng asked directly.
The person on the phone let out a chuckle and said, "You don't need to know who I am. The person is indeed in my hands, at the Lu Family. You have ten minutes to show up, or you know what the consequences will be!"
After saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Ye Feng's gaze suddenly intensified as he commanded, "To the Lu Family!"
Xia Lengchan turned the steering wheel, then sped along the west side of the Jiang City River.
By this time, the sky had already brightened, and fortunately, there wasn't much traffic on the road. The car raced along, and after half an hour, they arrived at a solitary courtyard in the outskirts.

The courtyard was impressive, covering several dozen acres. There were two vermilion gates flanked by two majestic stone lions. The gate's plaque bore the words 'Lu Mansion'.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Ye Feng had already jumped out.
Xia Lengchan hurriedly got out and said, "My Lord, since they specifically asked for you to come in person, they must have laid a deadly ambush inside. Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others haven't arrived yet. Shouldn't we..."
But before she could finish, Ye Feng had already walked over and kicked open the heavy redwood gates, which burst apart with a loud bang.
"Audacious villain, how dare you intrude upon the Lu Mansion, seeking death!" Four guards immediately rushed out, ready to take action.
At that moment, a cold shouting voice came from inside, "Stand down, let him in!"
Ye Feng marched straight in, passing the screen and walking into the spacious courtyard.
Inside the spacious courtyard, however, there were already countless martial arts practitioners standing densely packed, each one holding weapons such as swords, clubs, and staves.
The most eye-catching among them was a middle-aged man dressed in brand-new military attire, standing upright in the courtyard like a javelin.
This man's aura was stable, with his hands behind his back, staring intently at Ye Feng with his eyes.
Ye Feng was sizing him up as well, and with just a glance, he knew this man was no ordinary individual, the fierce energy he exuded was not something any common person could possess.
"Nine minutes and thirty-eight seconds, you're quite fast. I was actually planning that if you were a minute late, I'd chop off one of her fingers!" the middle-aged man suddenly said with a cold laugh.
Ye Feng stepped forward, stopping three meters in front of him, and said word by word, "You should be thankful you didn't do that, for if she's missing even a single hair, I will indeed exterminate the entire Lu Family!"

"Extirpate my entire clan?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but throw his head back and let out a roaring laugh upon hearing this.
At that moment, a burly man with a thick beard beside him guffawed, "Commander Lu, who the hell is this guy? He's quite arrogant, huh? In all these years, on our turf, we've never seen such a brazen young man!"
Xia Lengchan suddenly strode forward, walked up to Ye Feng, and whispered, "My lord, I've found out who he is. His name is Lu Bentian, and it is said that he has been acting as a Little Commander in the Eastern Border. The people in this courtyard should be the men he has brought back from there."
Ye Feng had naturally heard, having long known about someone from the Lu Family in the Eastern Border, but never expected them to return today. It seemed they must have received the clan's message and rushed back for revenge.
"Where is she?" Ye Feng bellowed angrily.
He wouldn't show the slightest mercy, not for a mere commander from the Eastern Border, nor would he for the Lord of the Eight Ridges, or even the King of the Eastern Border.
That Lu Bentian smirked coldly, "Relax, she's in the back courtyard, safe and sound. Since this is a feud of the Martial Arts World, I'll settle it according to its rules—calamities should not befall the family. The only reason I took her was to make sure you'd come. Now that you're here, she will naturally be released soon!"
An elder from the Lu Family then said, "Young Master Lu, let's not waste words with him. Our lord and Young Master Lu Benlu were killed by him. Let's act now, chop him into mince, and feed him to the dogs!"
Lu Bentian gestured with his hand, "No rush. I've heard that on the night at Yingge, there were several people on their side. Only two have come so far; let's wait for the others before we move."
It seemed he planned to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer. This guy was quite confident in himself, but this time, he was likely kicking an iron plate.
"A bunch of ignorant fools, you're not even worthy of my taking action, lest the old king back in the Eastern Border accuse me of bullying the weak!"
After seeing this, Ye Feng turned his head towards Xia Lengchan and asked, "With just these people here, are you confident you can take them down?"
Xia Lengchan's expression suddenly turned stern, and she said word by word, "I thought I was facing some formidable experts, but who knew they were just a bunch of pathetic Little Commanders from the Eastern Border. Rest assured, my lord, I alone am more than enough!"
"Then go ahead, attack freely, regardless of life or death!" Ye Feng said, then stepped aside with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Dogs and bastards, to actually look down on us, I'll be the one to chop you up first!" A follower by Lu Bentian's side roared and charged out.
Xia Lengchan bit down on her teeth and dashed forward to meet him head-on. In just an encounter, the follower was sent flying by a strike from Xia Lengchan.
Then, like a ferocious tiger or wolf, Xia Lengchan charged left and right relentlessly. Wherever she went, the guards brought from the Eastern Border were knocked down one after another.
"Damn it, turns out to be tough opponent. But do you think you can act so tyrannically? You're seeking death!"
Ultimately, Lu Bentian, furious as thunder, clenched his Fist Edge and sprang forward like a leopard. His speed was fierce; he was clearly a Grandmaster himself.
Ye Feng stood to the side, hands still clasped behind his back; of course, there was no need for him to intervene.
In just three rounds, Lu Bentian was swept away by a kick from Xia Lengchan and slammed heavily to the ground.
"That's it? What a pathetic Eastern Border commander. In recent years, the Eastern Border has become increasingly disgraceful, and the commanders beneath have become so weak, they're no match for anyone!" Xia Lengchan scoffed disdainfully.
Over the years, as the old king grew older, the Eastern Border had become increasingly weak, almost unable to control its territory. Otherwise, powers such as the Jiangzuo Alliance would not have risen unchecked in East of the River.
"You... who exactly are you?" Lu Bentian, lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and asked in anger.
Xia Lengchan snorted, "You don't deserve to know our lord's identity; a mere Little Commander dares to kidnap the Mistress, truly ignorant of how to write the word 'death'!"
Just then, Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, among others, finally arrived. After getting the whole story, the hot-tempered Sima Zhantian roared like thunder, "You bastard, dare to touch our Mistress! My lord, please allow me to act and exterminate the Tian and Lu Full Clan!"
Ye Feng shook his head and remained silent. This man was not only explosive in temper but also far too eager for killing.
Ultimately, it was Xiao Chuanqi, thoughtful and meticulous, who took advantage of the lull to slip into the rear courtyard, and soon after, brought Hong Qingyan out.
