Chapter 1252: The Yuan Family Treasury
Yuan Hong was completely unprepared, struck squarely in the face by the sudden punch, sending him flying two or three meters backward, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Two streams of blood instantly flowed out from Yuan Hong's nose.
At the gate, appeared a man, handsome in appearance, with a hint of a smug smile on his face—it was Qiu Qiming.
Qiu Qiming looked at Yuan Hong on the ground with blood flowing from his nose and scolded in a cold voice, "Yuan Hong, quickly hand over Lin Fei's fiancée, Yuan Yuxi, or don't blame me for beating you again!"
In the square, besides Lin Fei and Wan Jingxuan, no one else knew Qiu Qiming.
They were all extremely surprised that Qiu Qiming managed to knock Yuan Hong, the City Lord's Young Master, down, causing his nose to bleed profusely.
They were all very curious as to which powerful family Qiu Qiming belonged to.
Lin Fei never expected Qiu Qiming to come here.
When he set out from Wan Jingxuan's manor, he specifically reminded him not to come to the Yuan family to avoid getting dragged into the mess.
Lin Fei's figure moved, and he appeared in front of Qiu Qiming.
"Young Master Qiu, didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you come?" Lin Fei looked at Qiu Qiming and said.
Qiu Qiming laughed and said, "If I hadn't come, wouldn't I have missed so much excitement? I originally intended to help you fight the villains, but didn't expect your martial arts to be so formidable. If I'd known your skills were so high, I wouldn't have worried about you."
Lin Fei also laughed, knowing that Qiu Qiming must have been hiding around for some time, planning to step in and help if Lin Fei couldn't handle it.
Lin Fei reached out and patted Qiu Qiming's shoulder, saying, "Brother, thank you for worrying!"
Indeed, despite not knowing if Lin Fei could contend against the Yuan family, Qiu Qiming had still come to the Yuan family, making him, in Lin Fei's eyes, a true brother.
"Just kidding, Lin Fei, don't take it seriously." Qiu Qiming laughed out loud.
Then, Qiu Qiming looked at Yuan Hong on the ground and said to Lin Fei, "How should we deal with him?"
Lin Fei's eyes glinted with a cold light and said, "He captured the woman I love and brought her to Holy Dragon Continent, naturally I won't let him off."
Yuan Hong's face changed when he heard this and quickly pleaded to Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, I didn't hurt your fiancée, Yuan Yuxi. I'm willing to take you to see her, please don't kill me."
"Where is Yuxi now?" Lin Fei asked.
"She... she's in an Underground Palace of a hall in the City Lord's Mansion." Yuan Hong stammered.
Anticipating that Lin Fei would come to rescue Yuan Yuxi, the Yuan family had played tricks by locking her in the palace's Underground Palace and using another woman to impersonate Yuxi as the bride.
Lin Fei blankly said, "Then get up and lead the way. If Yuxi has suffered any harm, I will not spare you."
Yuan Hong trembled as he stood up, despite having been punched by Qiu Qiming, it wasn't serious.
Just as Yuan Hong was about to take Lin Fei to the Underground Palace where Yuan Yuxi was held, suddenly there was an uproar in the square, and cries rang out, "Yuan Kun and the others are trying to escape!"
"Don't let him escape!"
"Eight patriarchs, follow me to attack!"
Then, a thunderous boom echoed through the sky, shaking the air, followed by several cries of agony.
Lin Fei looked towards the sound, and saw three figures falling from the sky onto the square, kicking up a dust storm.
As the dust settled, Yuan Kun, Yuan Lu, and Yuan Chun lay in pools of blood, seemingly already dead, but even in death, their eyes were wide open, as if they couldn't die in peace.
Hovering in the air were Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs.
There was no doubt that Yuan Kun and the others, while Lin Fei's attention was on Yuan Hong, attempted to flee, only to be intercepted and killed by the nine patriarchs.
The nine patriarchs, joining Lin Fei in dealing with the Yuan family, naturally wouldn't let them escape, otherwise, they'd leave hidden dangers behind, which is why they hurried to intercept and kill Yuan Kun and the others.
Seeing his three uncles dead, Yuan Hong's face turned ashen, drenched in cold sweat.
Lin Fei looked up at the nine patriarchs in the air and said, "Leave the City Lord's Mansion for the nine patriarchs to supervise temporarily, I will go save my fiancée first."
"Understood, Young Master Lin." The nine patriarchs in the air immediately clasped their fists respectfully towards Lin Fei.
Lin Fei knew, though Yuan Zheng managed to escape and Yuan Kun and the others died, the Yuan family experts were too many to be underestimated, requiring the nine patriarchs to subdue them and sever ties with the Yuan family, only then would the Yuan family be truly destroyed.
"Just tell me the way, I will fly us over there." Lin Fei handed all matters at the City Lord's Mansion to the nine patriarchs, then grabbed Yuan Hong and flew up.
Yuan Hong immediately told Lin Fei where the Palace Underground Palace holding Yuan Yuxi was located, and Lin Fei flew towards that place along with Qiu Qiming close behind.
Swish.
Lin Fei, holding Yuan Hong, landed in front of a palace deep within the City Lord's Mansion, with Qiu Qiming swiftly landing beside him.
"Grandson, is this where Lin Fei's fiancée is being held?" Qiu Qiming glared at Yuan Hong and asked mockingly.
Hearing Qiu Qiming call him grandson, Yuan Hong was infuriated, but now his martial arts had been destroyed, and he was in Lin Fei's grasp, not even as good as a beggar.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything to Qiu Qiming either.
Yet he refused to bow to Qiu Qiming and ignored his question, instead looking at Lin Fei and saying, "Lin Fei, Yuan Yuxi is in this Palace's Underground Palace."
Lin Fei nodded, about to move forward, when suddenly the tightly closed palace gates opened, and two or three dozen cultivation masters spilled out, forming a formation in front of the palace.
"Release our Young Master!" The leading cultivation master shouted angrily at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei remained expressionless, saying to Yuan Hong, "Make them step aside."
Yuan Hong quickly nodded in apprehension, then shouted at the cultivation masters blocking the palace entrance: "All of you, make way!"
The cultivation masters exchanged puzzled glances, evidently not expecting Yuan Hong to order them to let them pass.
They didn't realize the Yuan family had already been finished, but in their eyes, Yuan Hong was still the master, so they obediently made way.
Lin Fei, grasping Yuan Hong's neck, moved forward, with Qiu Qiming closely following.
The three of them entered the palace, and with no orders from Yuan Hong, the cultivation masters dared not follow them inside, merely guarding the entrance.
Yuan Hong led Lin Fei into an antique-style chamber within the palace, then reached out and pushed somewhere on the wall, which opened seamlessly.
A revolving stone door revealed behind it a staircase leading downward, along with an underground passage.
No doubt, it led to the Underground Palace.
Lin Fei pushed Yuan Hong into the underground passage.
The tunnel was equipped with electric lights, making the entire passage extremely bright, with floors and walls made of smooth bricks and concrete.
After weaving through the underground passage, they finally reached a grand Underground Palace, a vast underground space resembling a square, surrounded by rooms.
These stone rooms had signs reading "Pill Room," "Weapon Room," "Vault."
Seeing this, Lin Fei knew this Underground Palace must be the Yuan family's most central area, storing all their rare treasures within these stone rooms.
It was the Yuan family's underground treasure vault.
Yuan Hong led Lin Fei and Qiu Qiming to a stone room without any markings and said to Lin Fei, "Yuan Yuxi is inside this stone room."
