The Zhao family had already been on bad terms with the Lin family because of Zhao Zheng.
If Zhao Huai grew up, he would surely seek an explanation from the Lin family for his father.
The alchemists in the Alchemist Association were talents worthy of the attention of the four major families.
Lin Feng wasn't that stupid to watch this threat turn into a big problem with his own eyes.
The Lin family was one of the four major families, and a slight move could affect the whole situation. The four major families were closely related in terms of interests, unlike the Alchemist Association, which stood independently outside the four major families.
So, this siege of Qinghui Town was not just to vent personal grudges but more to eliminate future troubles.
It took Zhao Shuning a long time to sort out such a complicated relationship.
So, did Zhang Zhi have something to do with the Lin family? Or was the Zhang family involved in some deeper interests?
"You're really despicable."
"Alright, we've talked enough. Your last words end here."
The night gradually faded away, and the sky dawned.
At this time, the Zhao family members were preparing for the final battle. If these people wanted to kill them, they had to remove the isolation shield. Even if they were doomed to die, they would use their last bit of strength to fight a desperate battle later.
The people of the Zhao family would rather die on the battlefield.
They would stand and die, never kneel and live.
"Master Feiyang, shall I start then?"
"Start."
The isolation shield grew weaker and weaker. Finally, Qinghui Town clearly appeared in front of everyone.
But just as the isolation shield was removed, except for the people in Qinghui Town, everyone else heard a shrill sound that was almost piercing their eardrums. The space around them began to distort and deform slowly.
"Damn it! The Fire Fox Curse!"
"The alchemist's Fire Fox Curse!"
"Is Zhao Huai back?"
"Impossible. Zhao Huai is in the capital Chang'an now. He can't be back. Everyone, calm your minds and don't be disturbed by this sound."
Feiyang and Zhang Zhi didn't react as violently as the others, but their heads also started to ache faintly.
This Fire Fox Curse didn't seem like a skill used by a second - rank alchemist.
Feiyang was quick - witted. He quickly took out the pills from his bosom and distributed them to everyone.
"Take these. They can relieve the temporary shrill sound."
When the people brought by the Zhang family and Feiyang took the pills, they suddenly felt a chill on their backs. Immediately afterwards, a powerful protective shield fell from the sky, trapping Feiyang and Zhang Tianzhi inside. Besides the two of them, there was also Feiyang's contracted demon beast, the Evil Shadow Black Heavenly Ape. This protective shield was woven by Zhao Shuning with her spiritual power.
Since she was only a third - rank spiritual pharmacist, she was worried that the protective shield would be easily broken by Zhang Zhi and Feiyang of the Extreme Cold Palace. So when weaving it, she also injected her spiritual energy into it.
"What's going on?"
"This protective shield is formed so strangely."
Zhang Zhi and Feiyang looked at each other and saw the incredulity in each other's eyes.
The people of the Zhao family couldn't have such powerful strength. Although this protective shield couldn't compare with the isolation shield they had set up, it was enough to trap the two of them.
"Old man, I didn't expect you to have a backup plan."
Zhang Zhi stared directly into Old Zhao's face, trying to find some clues.
"However, old man, even if you trap us, what can you change? This protective shield can at most trap us for an hour. Moreover, I've brought so many spiritual pharmacists here. It will be too easy for them to hold you unarmed villagers back for an hour."
Feiyang wasn't as blindly optimistic as Zhang Zhi. When he put his hand on the protective shield, he found many strange things.
Sure enough, as one of the proud disciples of the Wang family, although his rank was only the yellow - level of a fourth - stage spiritual pharmacist, his observation ability was more meticulous than that of many adults.
"Uncle Zhang, there's a problem."
"What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan quickly lowered his head and whispered to the blue - clothed young man.
"This protective shield is neither like the defense line set up by a spiritual pharmacist nor like the spiritual energy barrier set up by an alchemist. The person who made this protective shield seems to really just want to trap us, not limit our mobility like the spiritual energy of an alchemist."
Or rather, the person who made this protective shield didn't have the ability to do that yet.
Old Zhao's eyes also lit up with new hope.
Judging from the situation, a master was helping them.
But this time, they were not facing ordinary people. They didn't know if this senior who came could handle it.
Zhao Zheng stepped forward to support the old man and said, "Father, did you invite this master?"
Could this be the method Father mentioned before?
Old Zhao shook his head. The method he mentioned before was just to comfort everyone. When he stepped out of the Zhao family courtyard, he had already made up his mind that no matter how the enemy on the other side insulted him later, he was willing to bear it. He wanted to buy a way out for the villagers of Qinghui Town, even if this way out meant trampling his self - esteem under their feet.
"Not Father. Brother, then who do you think in our Zhao family would be willing to help us? With such powerful strength, could it be Brother's child - Huai'er who's back?"
Everyone had witnessed Zhao Huai's battle that night.
Although that Zhao Huai was more powerful and demonic than they had ever seen, and his form was completely different from that of ordinary people.
But Zhao Huai had protected the lives of all the Zhao family members. No matter who he was or where he came from, in their hearts, he was just Zhao Huai.
"No. If it were Huai'er, I would be able to sense his aura."
Old Zhao sighed and then continued, "I'm just afraid this master will be dragged down by our Zhao family."
At this time, Zhao Shuning reinforced the protective shield several times in the grass.
If she faced all these people alone, it would surely be very strenuous.
Moreover, it was very likely that she would work hard but get no results.
So, she came up with a new strategy.
"I wonder which gentleman could come out and show himself. I'm Zhang Zhi, as famous as the Li family in Yanqing City. Do you know who the person beside me is, sir?"
"I don't know."
Zhang Zhi's face twitched. He said with a straight face, "He's Young Master Feiyang of the Extreme Cold Palace, an inner - door and proud disciple of the Wang family. You who made this move must think clearly. Do you want to be an enemy of the Wang family?"
Zhao Shuning estimated that the time was about right and then sprang out of the grass.
Her speed was as fast as lightning.
Then her petite body accurately landed in front of the people in Qinghui Town.
"So what if I'm an enemy of him?"
The childish voice with a firm tone, combined with the girl's provocative expression, enraged the blue - clothed young man.
