As the sun rose, the shops on both sides of the street opened their doors one by one.
Suddenly, a large group of people walked onto the street. These people were dressed in the same uniform and had unsheathed sharp swords in their hands. Some of them even had shields. As they walked with great fanfare, the shops that had just opened were so frightened that they hurriedly closed their doors.
After these people appeared, the entire street quickly became empty.
However, behind the cracks of the doors and windows, many pairs of eyes were staring at them.
Ning An East City, Wei Family.
The Wei Family controlled all the grain transactions in Ning An East City. At the same time, they were also one of the twelve most powerful families in Ning An East City.
Among the twelve families, other than the Giant Whale of the Xing Family and the Red Sea gang of the Zhu Family, Zhou Fu chose the Wei Family, which controlled the grain.
The Wei Residence's doors were tightly shut.
A white-gold fist howled out. With a boom, the entire gate of the Wei Estate collapsed with a loud rumble.
"Charge in!" Duan Cheng roared. He led the charge and was the first to charge into the Wei Residence.
Hearing the miserable screams coming from inside, Zhou Fu sighed in his heart. He suppressed the unbearable guilt in his heart and his eyes slowly turned cold.
With Zhou Fu holding the line, Duan Cheng and the others fought their way to the Wei Clan's meeting hall like a hot knife through butter.
"Bastard!" A loud voice resounded throughout the Wei Residence. Two glowing figures rushed into the sky from the Wei Residence's backyard.
An earthy yellow palm print and a red blade slashed toward Duan Cheng.
"Break!"
Zhou Fu punched out. With a loud boom, he shattered the two attacks in mid-air.
Then, his figure flashed and left two afterimages in the air.
"Not good!"
The two people in mid-air widened their eyes. After seeing their combined attack shattered, they were shocked. Then, they saw Zhou Fu's figure rushing toward them. In a panic, the two of them gathered all the inner strength in their bodies and attacked Zhou Fu.
"Too weak!"
Zhou Fu sighed. He stretched out his hands and crushed their attacks in front of their frightened eyes. Then, he slapped them on their chests.
Bang bang!
Two black shadows smashed onto the ground, and the bricks and stones on the ground immediately shattered.
At this point, the Wei Clan's guards gave up resisting and fled while screaming.
There were still many people standing in front of the Wei Clan's main hall. They were all looking at Zhou Fu with resentful gazes.
There were also a few old men whose lips were beginning to turn green. They looked like they would die at any moment.
It wasn't that the Wei Clan didn't want to fight back. The two people that Zhou Fu had slapped to the ground were the Wei Clan's strongest fighters. They were two veteran Third Blood Transformation cultivators.
As for the other Blood Transformation experts of the first and second realms, the Wei Clan still had quite a few. However, given the current situation, there was no need for them to jump out and resist.
Their strongest combat power had been crippled by the two of them. If they went up, they would only die. Moreover, no one wanted to court death.
Zhou Fu came to the front of the Wei Clan. Standing at the front was an old man in embroidered clothes. He stared fiercely at Zhou Fu and roared, "Giant Whale's Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, may I know how our Wei Clan has offended you to the point that you would come knocking on our door during our Wei Clan's banquet?!"
Zhou Fu's eyes flashed. With a wave of his hand, several beams of platinum light shot out. A few screams rang out from the crowd of the Wei Clan. Then, tongues of fire shot out, scaring the surrounding people into dodging to the sides.
"Before I have the intention to kill, it's best that your people behave. I just don't want to kill more people. It's not that I don't dare to do it."
Zhou Fu continued to walk forward. The Wei Clan members standing in front of him parted in fear.
He walked into the main hall and sat down on the main seat. Then, he said to Huang Feng beside him, "It's your turn."
Jin Peng bowed to Zhou Fu. Then, he took a stack of papers and walked over to the old man. "Old Man Wei, take it."
The old man took it. However, he didn't look at it. Instead, he looked at Huang Feng and said, "These are the harsh conditions, right?"
"Old Man Wei is wise. However, these aren't harsh conditions. After all, we will be a family in the future."
Huang Feng, who had dealt with similar matters many times, answered very appropriately, which made the old man from the Wei Clan so angry that his whole body trembled. Even some of the people behind the old man wanted to rush over and beat him up.
"Silence!"
The old man from the Wei Clan bellowed when he sensed the commotion behind him. This matter concerned the survival of the Wei Clan. After all, Zhou Fu was backed by the colossal Xing Clan. The Wei Clan was no match for them.
Therefore, personal anger and honor weren't important at this time. The most important thing was to survive.
The old man shook the paper in his hand and asked, "What will happen if the Wei Clan doesn't sign it?"
Huang Feng replied with a question, "Don't you already have an answer in your heart?"
The old man wasn't satisfied with this answer. He continued to ask, "Just say it!"
Huang Feng's expression turned serious. The smile on his face disappeared. He looked straight into the old man's eyes and said, "We will kill the main bloodline first. Then, we will choose a branch bloodline to sign. If the branch bloodline isn't willing, we will continue to kill.
What we need is a shopkeeper, an obedient shopkeeper. "
The old man was silent. Most of the people from the Wei Clan were silent. There were a few people who stared at Huang Feng and Zhou Fu, who was sitting on the main seat, with hatred in their eyes.
"We can't sign it!
If we sign it, the Wei Clan will be no different from dying! "
"Yes, we can't sign it. I have seen those conditions. They are extremely harsh. The Wei Clan will really be reduced to shopkeepers!"
"Let's fight it out with them. Although we can't afford to offend the Xing Clan, the Wei Clan isn't a pushover either!"
When these words reached Elder Wei's ears, his eyes flickered. He looked at a smiling middle-aged man beside him and asked in a respectful tone, "Sir Hou, what do you think?"
The scene quietened down. Everyone looked at the middle-aged man called "Sir Hou."
Sir Hou smiled. It was as if the tense atmosphere in front of him and the blood that stained the ground not far away didn't exist.
He first scanned the people from the Wei Clan. Then, he looked at Zhou Fu and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, this matter of the Hou Clan has nothing to do with me."
When they heard Sir Hou's words, the faces of the people standing around him darkened. Despair also appeared on their faces.
Elder Wei nodded. It was as if he already knew that Sir Hou would say this.
Elder Wei looked up at Zhou Fu and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhou, I will sign this document."
The surrounding people were in an uproar and started arguing.
Huang Feng ignored those agitated people. Instead, he took out the pen that he had prepared. "Elder Wei, I must say that you have good taste. Come, come, come. Sit here. As long as you sign and stamp it, we will be a family in the future."
"No!
Please don't! "
"Clan Elder!
You can't sign it. If you sign it, our Wei Clan will definitely perish. "
Huang Feng's expression didn't change. He waved his hand behind his back.
Duan Cheng, who was standing at the side, received the message and gave a look to the guard beside him.
"Kill!"
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
The blade flashed, and blood splattered everywhere.
The angry crowd immediately howled in grief. The thick smell of blood filled the air!
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 people from the Wei Clan were gone. Those who survived were still retreating in fear and pushing each other crazily.
"Kill!"
The guard withdrew his long blade. Blood dripped down the blade.
He raised his blade and slashed!
"Ahhhhh!"
"Save us!"
After two rounds of killing, there were only about 100 people left in the Wei Clan.
Duan Cheng roared, "Anyone who dares to talk will die!"
With the help of internal strength, the sound waves swept in all directions. Those miserable howls suddenly disappeared.
In the room, Elder Wei stared at Huang Feng with trembling eyes and asked, "Why?!
Why?!
Didn't I agree to sign it?!
Why do you still want to kill? "
Huang Feng smiled. "Those who were killed just now were ingrates. Today, with you here, they still dared to be so arrogant. In the future, won't they turn the world upside down?
I'm doing this for the good of the Wei Clan. "
"You … You …" Elder Wei stared at Huang Feng. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Then, a cold light flashed in Huang Feng's eyes. He said something that almost made Elder Wei die. "Elder Wei, we haven't killed all those people just now. Next, we are going to do something big. Let me, the junior of the Huang Clan, experience the means of the senior."
Elder Wei's body shook violently. He was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
"You … You mean …"
"Elder Wei," Huang Feng reminded, "I respect you as a senior. As a junior, don't disappoint me.
Moreover, to be able to make a fortune here, who has a clean hand?
Don't pretend to be benevolent now. "
Elder Wei was silent. At this moment, he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at his clansmen.
At this moment, Zhou Fu spoke. However, he spoke to the mysterious Lord Hou. "This … How should I address you?" He didn't want to call him 'Lord' whenever he saw him.
"Haha, if Vice Leader Zhou doesn't mind, just call me Brother Hou." Lord Hou laughed very cheerfully. It was obvious that he didn't care about what was happening in the Wei Clan.
Brother Hou?
Looking at the person in front of him who wanted to take advantage of him, Zhou Fu's face sank slightly. A light flashed in his eyes.
Lord Hou's heart suddenly jumped. The muscles on his body stiffened subconsciously. He quickly smiled and said, "I'm just joking. I'm the treasurer of Ning An City, Hou Jianbai."
Treasurer?
Someone from the imperial court?
Zhou Fu sized him up and thought to himself, No wonder the Wei Clan people call him 'Lord'. It turns out that he really is an official.
"So it really is Lord Hou. I was rude just now. I hope you don't blame me."
Zhou Fu's face showed a kind smile. Seeing this, Hou Jianbai's heart twitched and he began to feel afraid.
Just now, Hou Jianbai had been killing people. After hearing him teasing the other party, the heavy pressure made Hou Jianbai unable to recover. Now that he knew that he had an official position, he immediately became amiable.
If it was someone in their thirties or forties, he wouldn't care. However, Zhou Fu didn't look like he was twenty years old.
He was so young, held a high position, and was scheming. He almost had the characteristics of a big shot. Although he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke such a person, it was still necessary to be vigilant.
Hou Jianbai waved his hand and said, "I don't deserve the title 'Lord'. If Vice Leader Zhou doesn't mind, just call me Treasurer Hou."
This title was neither close nor distant. It was just right.
"Treasurer Hou …"
Surname and official position? It was common.
"May I know why Treasurer Hou came to the Wei Clan today?" Zhou Fu asked.
Hou Jianbai smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. A few days ago, there was a disaster in Heyang City. A lot of food in Ning An City was transported there.
Now that winter is approaching, I'm afraid that there won't be enough food in the city. The Wei Clan happens to be a grain merchant in the East City, so I'm here to discuss the issue of food with the Wei Clan. "
So he was here to find a distributor.
"I see." Zhou Fu's eyes turned and said to Huang Feng, "Huang Feng, did you hear that? Lord Hou is here to do something. If you continue to delay, how can Lord Hou let you do something important?"
Huang Feng was stunned and immediately became excited. Zhou Fu was letting Huang Jia replace the Wei Clan. It was a great benefit.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou. I will definitely satisfy Lord Hou. I won't delay the matter." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Elder Wei.
At this moment, Huang Feng no longer had a kind expression on his face. Under the temptation of benefits, his face turned cold.
Cutting off someone's path to wealth was like killing their parents.
Cutting off the future of their clan was like digging up their ancestors' graves.
With such great benefits in front of him, Huang Feng's voice was like the north wind in winter. He turned to look at Elder Wei who was dumbfounded. He reached out his hand and pressed on the unsigned contract, saying, "If Elder Wei thinks it's difficult, then forget it. As a junior, I shouldn't make things difficult for an elder."
As Huang Feng spoke, he was about to take back the contract.
At this moment, Elder Wei suddenly came back to his senses. As if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, he snatched the contract and shouted in panic, "I'll sign it, I'll sign it!"
Huang Feng said coldly, "What else?!"
Tears streamed down Elder Wei's face for a moment. He turned to the Wei Clan and shouted, "Take down those traitors!"
The Wei Clan people were so frightened that they took a step back. They looked at each other in bewilderment and didn't move for a moment.
"Bastards, do you all want to die?
If you don't do it, I'll do it myself!
Men, take them down! "
This group of bastards was still hesitating when their lives were at stake. This made Old Man Wei so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out.
Elder Wei's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Wei Clan guards who had already put down their weapons reacted the fastest. They immediately rushed into the crowd and grabbed more than 20 people amidst the cries and curses.
Looking at the twenty or so Wei Family members who were panicking and cursing, Old Man Wei roared, "Kill them all!"
Pfft pfft pfft!
The front of the Wei Clan's hall was instantly dyed red with blood.
Huang Feng knocked on the table. "What are you standing there for? Sign it!"
Elder Wei hurriedly turned around, grabbed a pen, and wrote his name in a flamboyant style. Then, he took out a seal and stamped it with his eyes closed.
After stamping the seal, blood flowed from the corner of Elder Wei's mouth. He slumped weakly on the chair as if someone had pulled out his spine.
Huang Feng instructed a guard to rush to Huang Jia and tell the family what had happened here.
Taking over the Wei Clan as the largest grain merchant in Ning 'an East City wasn't just a casual remark. There were many things to do. Huang Feng couldn't handle it alone.
"Junior Huang Feng greets Lord Hou."
Hou Jianbai laughed and said, "Good!
Good!
Heroes come from young! "
