This time, the crack on the table instantly spread to half, blood flowing down along the crack.

The head, pulled up once again, did not wait for Bai Kang to speak before being smashed down again.

Bang!!!

With these three smashes on the table, the scene had already become dead silent.

When Bai Kang's head was pulled up again, his eyes had rolled back, he had fallen unconscious, his face bloodied, appearing barely able to breathe in, no longer breathing out.

Lord Hei Ao's violent temper is not to be taken lightly.

Only towards Zuo Lv does he show some tolerance, but towards outsiders, he shows nary a trace of courtesy and directly takes action.

Casually discarding the unconscious Bai Kang, Lord Hei Ao's icy gaze shifted to the next target.

"Giggle giggle!"

At this moment, Zuo Lv covered her mouth and laughed.

"What are you standing around for? Are you waiting for Hei Ao and me to take action ourselves?"

Only then did the people at the table come to their senses, first looking gratefully at Zuo Lv, then one after another, they smashed their heads against the table split in two.

Each headbutt louder and more ferocious than the last, faces bloodied and foreheads torn, yet they continued, even more vigorously.

For a time, the scene turned bizarre.

A group of people headbutting a split table, the noise and bloodiness rising and falling like a grim competition, each one harsher than the last.

Eventually, some fell, others lay on the ground, holding their foreheads, consciousness blurry.

The few who were just discussing how to kill Diao Deyi on the table now lay on the ground like dead dogs, motionless.

The sorry state of these men was evidently satisfying to some.

Lord Hei Ao snorted coldly, leaving behind a sentence before striding away.

"Next time, anyone who dares to touch Diao Deyi will be my enemy!"

Zuo Lv chuckled several times.

"And me, I've backed Diao Deyi, did everyone hear that clearly?"

Without waiting for a response, she lightly tapped her toes and followed after Hei Ao.

The two left, leaving behind a scene of chaos.

"So domineering..."

"This is Lord Hei Ao! His actions have always been like this, today was rather mild!"

"Why provoke Lord Hei Ao with a notorious temper, practically seeking a dead end!"

"Who exactly is Diao Deyi, that he seems to have deep connections with both Lord Hei Ao and Lady Zuo Lv? Could he too be a big shot?"

"Shush! Let's not ask about things concerning big shots; it's better to mind less."

Shan Sichen held his forehead, his consciousness blurry.

Vaguely, he heard low conversations around him, filled with endless regret.

Just because he was working for Bai Kang, he nearly lost his life!

The waters of the Five Great Families are too deep, he, being a small fry, couldn't grasp it!

It's better to just be an ordinary person...

...

Outside the Brewing Pavilion.

Zuo Lv caught up with Hei Ao.

Unexpectedly, it was Hei Ao who spoke first.

"You saved those good-for-nothings' lives."

He had been about to kill him.

Zuo Lv shrugged: "I'm still grounded, causing more trouble might leave me confined for several months."

Hei Ao, uninterested, walked forward.

"They're too weak... I want to face Diao Deyi in combat!"

In Hei Ao's eyes, the fighting spirit blazed.

The sky cleared and the rain stopped, and he felt he was ready.

The Black Phoenix Blood stirring within him gave Hei Ao the sensation of endless power burning inside.

He wanted to become stronger, to prove he was even stronger!

"Right now, you're not necessarily his match."

Hei Ao suddenly stopped, looking at Zuo Lv.

"Are you sure? Have you seen... my full strength!"

Boom!!

Black flames burst forth from Hei Ao, rolling like lava waves.

Zuo Lv's expression gradually turned cold.

Green light shone from her palms, a strange mist enveloping her, creating a hazy and distorted aura around her.

"Have you... seen my full strength?"

Even a good temper has its limits.

At this moment, the two faced each other, each not yielding in momentum!

Although Zuo Lv was more reserved, the resources she obtained had also been truly transformed into strength.

It's just that the Taoist arts don't show such apparent external manifestations.

"Very well, it seems that before facing Diao Deyi, I could have a fight with you!"

Hei Ao's fighting spirit was ignited.

But Zuo Lv merely gathered the mist and headed towards the Zuo Family.

"First, find a way to come over tomorrow, help me lift my confinement, then we talk about other things."

Hei Ao paused, watched Zuo Lv's retreating back, fell silent for a while, then turned and left.

His cultivation of Black Phoenix Blood hadn't reached its peak, he could still... become stronger! Now is the time to seize every moment to become stronger!

As Hei Ao and Zuo Lv left the scene.

At the Brewing Pavilion, top floor.

The five decision-makers representing the Five Great Families had already gathered.

Sitting in the center was a middle-aged man in a black robe with distinct facial features, exuding a dark and gloomy aura.

This man is the current spokesperson for the Hei Family, Eldest Young Master of the Hei Family, Hei Tianlong!

On his left sat a glamorous woman, her long legs indiscordantly strewn across the table, leaning back in her chair and chewing on a long fishbone as if picking her teeth, the table in complete disarray.

Her entire demeanor clashed dramatically with her lavish dress.

The nameplate in front of her revealed her identity.

She was indeed the current head of the Bai Family, the Old Lady of the Bai Family, Bai Wuxia.

Despite her youthful appearance, she was the eldest present.

Next to her, eyes closed as if meditating, was the current Taoist heir of the Zuo Family, Zuo Qianshu.
