At the Skyward Divine Peak, halfway up the mountain, at General Baifeng's residence.
A figure with a fat head and big ears landed outside the residence; the visitor was none other than the chef from the Dragon and Phoenix Tavern: Peng Ling.
The tavern keeper, Peng Yue, who was killed by Tan Yun, was his godfather.
At this moment, one of the guards at the residence asked Peng Ling, "Brother Peng, what happened? Why do you look so distressed?"
Peng Ling did not answer but asked, "Is the steward here? I need to see him urgently."
"The steward is here," the guard replied.
"Alright." After Peng Ling said this, he stepped through the main gate of the residence and headed straight for the steward's hall…
Just as Peng Ling entered the residence, a Divine Vessel descended rapidly outside.
Seeing the extraordinary young man on the Divine Vessel, the guard immediately knelt and prostrated, "I pay my respects to the Second Young Master!"
"Mm, no need for formalities." After Bo Xu disembarked from the Divine Vessel, he gestured, and the Divine Vessel transformed into a beam of light, vanishing into the Divine Ring.
Bo Xu thoughtfully looked at the guard and asked, "Has anyone come looking for the steward since last night?"
The guard respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Second Young Master, just a moment ago, Peng Ling from the Dragon and Phoenix Tavern hurried to find the steward."
"Peng Ling? The chef from the Dragon and Phoenix Tavern!" Bo Xu pondered: "It seems he is going to inform Chu Dong about the deaths of the Chu Kong and Chu Tian brothers!"
"Mm, I understand." After nodding, Bo Xu entered the residence with a cold smile, heading directly for the steward's hall.
…
At the same time.
In the steward's hall, within a large chamber, an elderly man around sixty years old was discussing something with a remarkable young man clad in a golden robe.
The elderly man was Steward Chu Dong, and the golden-robed youth was Bo Xu's half-brother: Bo Ri.
"Steward, Eldest Young Master, something terrible has happened!" At that moment, the plump Peng Ling rushed into the hall, squeezing out a couple of tears.
"What happened?" Chu Dong raised an eyebrow.
"Steward, your two nephews and my godfather have been killed!" Peng Ling cried out.
"Boom!"
The news of his two nephews' deaths hit Chu Dong like a bolt from the blue!
His elder brother had died early, and he had never married, leaving him without children. In his heart, he regarded the Chu Kong and Chu Tian brothers as his own sons!
"You... say that again... who, who died?" Chu Dong trembled, tears streaming down his face.
Beside him, Bo Ri's aura erupted with the presence of a ninth rank celestial god, and his eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent!
It should be noted that Bo Ri had grown up alongside Chu Kong. In his mind, Chu Kong was not just a subordinate but also a brother!
Peng Ling looked at Chu Dong and honestly said, "Steward, the two young masters, Chu Kong and Chu Tian, were killed last night at the Dragon and Phoenix Tavern!"
"My godfather was also killed..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Dong wept bitterly and roared with a hoarse voice, "Who is the killer? Speak!"
Peng Ling trembled and said, "The killer is a one-star divine soldier named Jing Yun; he killed your two nephews. As for who killed my godfather, I am not sure."
"Jing Yun, you dare to kill my two nephews! I will make you suffer!" Chu Dong was heartbroken, his tear-filled eyes radiating endless rage. "I will ensure you die a miserable death!"
"Steward, this Jing Yun has a background." Peng Ling said truthfully, "The Second Young Master even refers to him as a brother."
Hearing this, Chu Dong froze, stopped his cries, and gasped sharply before looking at Bo Ri.
Bo Ri's face turned ashen, "So what if Jing Yun is Bo Xu's brother? I, the Eldest Young Master, will definitely kill Jing Yun to avenge Chu Kong…"
Just then, a cold voice echoed from outside the hall, "Eldest Brother, don't say too much!"
Following that, Bo Xu entered the hall. At this moment, Bo Xu's expression had changed from innocent to one radiating intense killing intent, "As long as I am here, I want to see who dares to touch Jing Yun!"
