"Ah?" Fu Donglai instinctively stepped back.

However, Ye Xiao seemed ghostly, following right behind.

"Get lost!"

Fu Donglai shouted in anger, throwing a fist towards Ye Xiao's face. Ye Xiao slightly dodged, avoiding Fu Donglai's fist, then a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

"Young Master!" At this moment, the subordinates around Fu Donglai finally reacted and rushed towards Ye Xiao.

It would have been better if they hadn't approached; as they got close to Ye Xiao, they saw his body spin suddenly like a top, launching into the air.

Flying Kick!

Bam bam bam!

A few dull thuds followed as the four or five people protecting Fu Donglai were all kicked down by Ye Xiao. It should be noted that before Ye Xiao kicked them all down, he hadn't even touched the ground.

Fu Donglai was stunned by Ye Xiao's skills; he did not expect Ye Xiao's prowess to be so formidable. Until now, he hadn't even detected any True Qi emanating from Ye Xiao, while those guards had fully infused their True Qi.

With just one kick, four or five people were all knocked down. What kind of strength was this? Fu Donglai understood that even if he exerted all his potential, he would probably find it difficult to truly contend with the person in front of him.

"What do you want?" Fu Donglai looked at Ye Xiao, his face full of coldness. Clearly, he wanted very much to have a big fight with Ye Xiao, but unfortunately, he admitted to himself that he did not have that kind of strength.

"I don't want to kill anyone, but like I said before, if I can't rescue my brother today, many people in your Han family will die, including you." Ye Xiao sneered as he looked at Fu Donglai in front of him.

Previously, Fu Donglai wouldn't have paid any attention to Ye Xiao at all, but now he didn't dare to do so, because he knew that Ye Xiao's strength was something he couldn't possibly confront.

"Such big words!" Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out.

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Xiao felt a gust of wind rapidly rushing towards him, so fast that it was unmatched by anyone present.

Ye Xiao didn't even get a look at the person before his hands and feet quickly made contact with them. The two jumped from the ground into the air, then back to the ground. Moreover, neither of them used Inner Power True Qi; they only used Inner Power True Qi to protect their bodies.

'Boom!'

After an extremely brief yet incredibly fast skirmish, a contact made them both fly backwards, and after landing, both retreated by two steps.

At this moment, Ye Xiao clearly saw the master who suddenly appeared.

A slightly plump figure with a resolute face, a mustache, and a pair of sharp eagle eyes, somewhat resembling Fu Donglai.

"Father!" Fu Donglai spoke up immediately as he looked at the middle-aged man now standing beside him.

Fu Donglai's father, the current actual controller of the Han family, Fu Hongyi.

Fu Hongyi glanced at Fu Donglai and then looked towards Ye Xiao, saying, "Not bad strength, but suddenly breaking into the Han family and committing violence, you'll have to give me a reason for that."

Upon hearing Fu Donglai address Fu Hongyi as father, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Since you're Fu Donglai's father, you must be a relative of Fu Bin, right?"

"Fu Bin is my second son," Fu Hongyi admitted honestly.

Ye Xiao replied, "I see, so I found the right person. I'd like to ask, the vast Han family, one of the eight major families in Bird City; but I'm very puzzled, why would you still engage in kidnapping? Could it be that your great family is so bored that you play at kidnapping?"

"Kidnapping?" Fu Hongyi heard Ye Xiao's words and was immediately perplexed. He had no idea why this person had come to the Fu family and what grudge he held against them, to dare to storm in and commit crimes.

"I suppose Fu Donglai can explain the situation to you. I just want my four brothers safe and sound. If even one of them has the slightest harm, don't blame me, Ye Xiao, for being at odds with your Fu family." Ye Xiao showed no regard for Fu Hongyi. During his confrontation with him, Ye Xiao already sensed that Fu Hongyi's strength was comparable to his own. Even if Fu Hongyi possessed some deadly moves, they couldn't be stronger than his Mad God Skill.

"You're Ye Xiao." Fu Hongyi, upon hearing Ye Xiao's self-introduction, once again looked at him. It was clear that the name 'Ye Xiao' held significant interest for him, not because he knew much about Ye Xiao outside of Bird City, but because Ye Xiao had castrated Zhao Pu.

The grandson of Old Man Zhao was castrated; this incident was enough to shock all of Bird City. Even Fu Hongyi was taken aback upon hearing about it because he couldn't believe anyone would dare castrate the descendant of the Zhao family, one of the eight prominent families—truly unbelievable.

However, now Fu Hongyi understood. If this person in front of him did it, it wouldn't be surprising. The person before him, Ye Xiao, clearly was someone who feared neither heaven nor earth. Even if the sky fell, it probably wouldn't scare him.

"It's me," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

At that moment, the situation at the Seven-colored Lamp's side had concluded, with more than a dozen people lying on the ground, their condition unknown—either dead or unconscious.

"Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation!" Fu Hongyi looked at Wang Luoxin and the others and said, "Looks like you're from the Seven-colored Lamp."

Wang Luoxin chuckled and said, "Sorry to have startled Mr. Fu."

"Not at all; when the Seven-colored Lamp steps in, it takes down more than a dozen of my family's Xuan Rank experts. How could it be said to be a mere surprise?" Fu Hongyi looked at Wang Luoxin, maintaining a calm smile on his face, though he was inwardly quite shocked. The Seven-colored Lamp's power was evidently stronger than rumored.

Earlier, when Fu Hongyi fought Ye Xiao, he could already sense that Ye Xiao's strength wasn't inferior and seemed quite close to his own. And just by looking at the Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation, it was clear its power was extraordinary. If the Seven-colored Lamp joined forces with Ye Xiao, Fu Hongyi really wouldn't have any confidence in winning.

Fu Hongyi looked at Fu Donglai beside him and asked, "What's the conflict between Fu Bin and Ye Xiao?"

Fu Donglai glanced at Ye Xiao and hurriedly told Fu Hongyi, "Father, my brother got into a conflict with Ye Xiao due to the Han family in Minghai City. My brother somehow found out the whereabouts of Ye Xiao's brothers and sent people to kidnap them. Now Ye Xiao has come for them. I've already had the servants call my brother; he should be back soon. But if my brother gets impulsive and harms Ye Xiao's brothers, then things might get complicated."

Upon hearing Fu Donglai's words, Fu Hongyi's brow furrowed involuntarily but quickly smoothed out.

Meanwhile, nearly all the Fu family guards had gathered around Fu Hongyi, totaling nearly a hundred people. Their strength was similar to those who had fought against the Seven-colored Lamp, mostly at the Xuan Rank Middle Stage.

Fu Hongyi looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, I don't know what grudge Fu Bin has with you, but today you've come with the Seven-colored Lamp to my Fu family, causing chaos and even injuring my people. Just for this, I have enough grounds to punish you. By the way, I have another role—as the honorary second-in-command of Bird City."

"Haha, no offense taken; it turns out Mr. Fu is a second-in-command. But what does this have to do with me? I still stand by my words: if anything happens to my brothers, then the glory of the Fu family today will be your downfall tomorrow," Ye Xiao dismissed the so-called honorary second-in-command position Fu Hongyi held. The reason was simple; if it came to backing, his own was the Flame Dragon Team. Although Ye Xiao had yet to use this golden ticket, it didn't mean he wouldn't.

If it came to a crucial moment, Ye Xiao would naturally bring out the Flame Dragon Team. But clearly, now was not the time.

Fu Hongyi's face changed drastically upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. It was evident that Ye Xiao's words were shocking enough to suggest an intent to destroy the Fu family, leaving Fu Hongyi unable to remain composed.

"Ye Xiao, do you know the calamity your words could bring upon you?" Fu Hongyi said coldly.

Ye Xiao replied, "Calamity? Haha, I think it's not my calamity but the Fu family's. Don't think that, because your Fu family has been arrogant in Bird City for a while, you are untouchable. I can tell you that today I, Ye Xiao, have come, but tomorrow it will certainly be someone from Y City to challenge your Fu family."

Fu Hongyi was even more bewildered by Ye Xiao's words, unable to understand what connection there was to Y City.

"Did Fu Bin not tell you about encountering the eldest son of the Zhou family from Y City in Minghai City?" Ye Xiao sneered at Fu Hongyi.

Ye Xiao hadn't intended to mention it, but with Fu Bin's prolonged absence, it was a signal that Zhou Hao and the others might be in danger. Hence, bringing up Zhou Hao was also to pressure Fu Hongyi.

When Fu Hongyi heard there was a connection with the Zhou family from Y City, he was suddenly puzzled and asked, "What do you mean? Is this matter related to the Zhou family?"

"Your Second Young Master Fu is indeed quite impressive; even Zhou Hao, the eldest son of the Zhou family, got caught by him. I originally didn't want to be enemies with the Fu family, but if the Fu family goes too far, I assure you that the Seven-colored Lamp and I will aid the Zhou family in some household matters." Ye Xiao said coldly.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fu Hongyi finally started to understand and silently blamed his son Fu Bin for bringing such trouble to the Fu family.

Though the Fu family had established themselves in Y City, the Zhou family was also a prestigious family there. As long as the Zhou family didn't come looking for trouble with the Fu family, it was already fortunate for the Fu family. However, if Zhou Hao was indeed harmed by Fu Bin, then after decades of peace, a war between the Zhou and Fu families was likely to erupt. Moreover, the Fu family would be guilty due to harming Zhou Hao, and by then, who would truly stand with the Fu family against the Zhou family?
