Chapter 557: True Gold is Not Afraid of Fire!
Because they were carrying a huge crystal coffin, Huangfu Qinggang and his group found it inconvenient to take a car, so the five of them set off on foot, marching forward relentlessly!
Fortunately, each of them was quite strong, and their physical endurance was more than sufficient. It would only take them half a day to reach Binhai!
And so, an impressive scene unfolded on the road from the Provincial City to Binhai: in broad daylight, an old man with swift steps led the way, followed by four middle-aged men, all together carrying a coffin!
The spectacle attracted countless stares, and many pedestrians and vehicles were astounded, watching in surprise!
Meanwhile, under the deliberate influence of Huangfu Qinglong, the people he sent had already rushed to Binhai to issue a challenge to Jiang Feng.
Besides, Huangfu Qinglong himself led over a hundred clansmen, riding in dozens of cars, leaving Purple Jade Villa in a grand procession, heading to Binhai to witness the battle!
This scene was so shocking that the news spread rapidly, instantly astonishing countless people!
At Yanchi Villa, Yan Family Patriarch Yan Huxiong was the first to receive this news. After all, he had been paying attention to the death of Huangfu Shang, but because Huangfu Qinglong insisted on avenging solely with the Huangfu family's strength, he hadn't taken action.
At this moment, upon receiving the report from his subordinates, Yan Huxiong smirked coldly, "Huangfu Qinglong is finally going all in!"
After that, he also ordered his men to prepare a car, leading part of the clan to Binhai to witness how Huangfu Qinggang would personally take revenge on his nephew's killer!
At the same time, more bigwigs from the Provincial City, and even many local bigwigs from Binhai, received the news at the first moment!
A group led by Pan Haoting assembled again in Zhou Rongfa's office, feeling intense tension and disbelief about this upcoming sensational event.
"Old Zhou, what do you think? The Huangfu family is so ostentatiously seeking revenge on Brother Jiang; I think they're prepared, and it's not going to be easy to get through this!" Jia Youcai expressed his concern to Zhou Rongfa.
"Let alone not easy, do you know who's carrying the coffin? The most famous third Family Head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Qinggang!"
Jiang Tianxing added, "You're not unfamiliar with this person, right? He's the greatest asset of the Huangfu family, their martial support, a terrifying existence throughout the Provincial City! For Jiang Feng to have alarmed him this time, it's unlikely to end peacefully!"
"Two days ago, when I heard that Jiang Feng publicly killed Huangfu Shang, I anticipated this result, but I didn't expect the Huangfu family to make such a scene, obviously intending to blow things up!" Tao Guoyi said.
"That's not surprising. The Huangfu family lost face twice consecutively at the hands of Jiang Feng, so it's not unusual for them to want to make a bigger fuss this time to reclaim their reputation with interest. I'm just curious about what they'll do when they get to Binhai; will they directly confront Jiang Feng?" Yang Wanli said.
Apparently, the recent enmity between Jiang Feng and the Huangfu family hadn't escaped these bigwigs' notice, and they were even aware of Le Zhengyi's death to some extent.
However, at this moment, no one would mention Le Zhengyi, only genuinely worried for Jiang Feng.
"Direct confrontation, that won't happen! Haven't you heard the latest news? The Huangfu family coming this time, naturally, won't be satisfied with simply eliminating Jiang Feng. That wouldn't be enough to extinguish their anger! Huangfu Qinglong has already directly sent people to the Chu Group, telling Zhu Ge Yuheng to pass a message to Jiang Feng, inviting him to a death duel, to kill Jiang Feng in front of the world and regain their honor!" Pan Haoting said.
"What? Is that true? Will Jiang Feng choose to fight?" The others, upon hearing this, became more worried.
In any case, this was the most sensational and eye-catching event since the establishment of Binhai City!
If Jiang Feng's perfect defeat of Guan Hao at the Yan Family's Death Battle Arena was already enough to make the Binhai people remember his name, then this death duel with the Yan Family would elevate him to a new level!
Challenging the Huangfu family, one of the nine great families of the Provincial City, was unprecedented, and now the only uncertainty was whether Jiang Feng dared to take the challenge!
"Let's wait and see; Mr. Jiang has never disappointed us before, and this time, I believe he won't either." Zhou Rongfa calmly took a sip of tea and said with assurance.
...
Seaside military division.
Situ Jingjie nervously drove a military jeep into the courtyard of the red western-style house, then rushed out of the car, not waiting for the secretary to announce, and directly barged into his grandfather's office.
"What's got you acting so recklessly? Did someone light a fire under you?" Situ Zhenjiang glanced at his grandson and coldly said.
"Grandfather, have you heard? The Huangfu family's ultimate revenge has arrived! They're already on their way to Binhai!" Situ Jingjie, out of breath and tense, said.
"Oh?" Situ Zhenjiang raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's going on?"
Immediately, Situ Jingjie relayed all the information he had gathered: the group led by Huangfu Qinggang carrying a coffin to Binhai, and Huangfu Qinglong leading clansmen there to watch the battle.
After listening, Situ Zhenjiang's expression was deep and unreadable, speaking not a word.
"It seems the Huangfu family is determined to fight to the death. They won't rest until Jiang Feng is eliminated!" After a long while, Situ Zhenjiang coldly remarked.
"Then, Grandfather, what should we do?" Situ Jingjie instinctively asked.
"Do what? On one side is a young outsider with unfathomable depth; on the other is the Huangfu family. What can we do?"
Situ Zhenjiang said calmly, "Here's what. If that Jiang Feng really agrees to a death duel with Huangfu Qinggang, find me a ticket; I want to be there in person to watch!"
"I want to see if this Jiang Feng is as extraordinary as you all claim, and if it's right to stake the future of the Situ family on him!"
"Understood, I'll arrange it immediately!" Situ Jingjie replied promptly, turning to leave, knowing that the time had come for Jiang Feng to prove himself under pressure. He also hoped Jiang Feng could successfully overcome this challenge, making his gamble all the more worthwhile!
