Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Patriarch of Feng Family (Part 1)

A gentle breeze fluttered by, lifting the blood-red garment that was bewitchingly enchanting.

Feng Jingtian raised his phoenix eyes toward the pale-faced Feng Xiang, a clear, chilling look in his eyes. It was as though he was not looking at his father but at his nemesis.

“In what capacity are you ordering me?”

Feng Xiang’s complexion drastically changed, his face taut with anger as he bellowed, “I am your father, rebellious son! Is this how you speak to your father?”

“Father?” Feng Jingtian scoffed disdainfully, “I’ve already said that if the Feng Family were to harm her, I would blood-wash the Feng Family! You seem to have not heeded my words.”

He clearly felt the girl in his arms stiffen and couldn’t help but hold her more tightly.

“More than a decade ago, I failed to protect my mother, allowing her to die miserably because of your cowardice, but I promised her that if I ever met a woman I fancied, I would protect her at all costs!”

And this girl… she was the only person he wanted to protect…

“Presumptuous!” Feng Xiang’s face turned livid with rage, his trembling finger pointing at Feng Jingtian, “Rebellious son, you truly infuriate me to death, cough cough…”

After a few words, he couldn’t speak any further. With each cough, fresh blood spurted out, staining the ground in front of him red.

Compared with Mu Ruyue, he too had sustained serious injuries, with fresh blood seeping from a long wound on his chest, even hinting at the sight of the man’s internal organs.

It was clear that he was stubbornly standing here by sheer physical strength alone, or else he would have long since fainted.

Lan Xin watched dazedly as the man she loved held another woman, her charming face turned deathly pale. It was as if her heart had been brutally stabbed, the pain making her tears uncontrollably fall.

What was so good about this woman that Feng Jingtian would rebel against the family for her?

Such deep affection was something neither she nor Lan Yue had ever received.

What broke Lan Xin’s heart even more was that Feng Xiang hadn’t been able to kill this despicable woman! If she had died, perhaps none of this would have happened…

“Feng Jingtian, don’t forget, our Feng Family still has an ancestor who is a Ghost! Your strength is indeed great, but do you think you can compete with the ancestor?”

The ancestor might well have been a ghost, but with his abilities, he could surely find a way to fight for a short period of time. As long as he was willing to make a move, how could it be difficult to deal with a severely injured woman?

And now, only the ancestor could deal with her here…

Feng Jingtian’s eyes grew even darker as he coldly watched Feng Xiang without saying a word.

The ancestor indeed held Mu Ruyue in high regard, but after all, he was the Patriarch of the Feng Family, and whether he would stand on their side was uncertain…

“Haha!” Feng Xiang burst into a maniacal laugh, his smile ferocious and filled with malice, “Jingtian, you are my son, and I will not do anything to you, but this woman must die, and it can only be the ancestor who takes action now!”

Upon hearing these words, Lan Xin and the others’ eyes lit up.

Why would the Lan Family fear the Feng Family within Feng City? It was because of the mysterious ancestor. Although the ancestor had only a Ghost Body, maintaining a Spiritual Body for a thousand years meant he undoubtedly possessed some treasure, and perhaps he could even use that treasure to fight others…

“Bang!”

Feng Xiang took out a Jade Token, fiercely snapping it in two. He swept his cold gaze over the girl in Feng Jingtian’s arms and said viciously, “I don’t know where you come from, but since you have offended my Feng Family, you must be prepared to face death!”

I’ve seen many readers commenting that chapter 280 contained repeated content, and after checking, it indeed does. That day I had network issues and asked a friend to help post it, so I didn’t realize the repetition until now. I wanted to delete the repeated content, but I can’t, and I am truly sorry…
