Chapter 75
The grand banquet hall of the Feng Clan was alive with laughter, music, and the rich scent of wine. Golden lanterns swayed from above, casting a warm glow over the polished floors and reflecting off the intricate embroidery of flowing robes. The entire estate pulsed with energy as powerful figures from the empire,nobles, cultivators, and renowned magicians, gathered beneath the banners of the Feng Clan, drinking and exchanging pleasantries.
At the center of it all, Feng Zhenhai sat at the head of the grand table, his once-diminished presence now commanding the hall. His seat signified more than just a patriarch’s position, it was the mark of his return, his claim over the Feng Clan restored.
Thinking back on what happened the moment he left the courtyard finally...
A small smile danced in Feng Jiao Xue’s lips.
Flashback~
The Feng Clan bustled with activity, its courtyards and halls alive with excitement. Even though the Clan Clash had just concluded, another grand event was already in the works. The Feng Clan spared no expense, generously preparing a lavish banquet and extending invitations to the most prominent powerhouses of the Azure Dragon Empire. Even distant clan members who had long ventured out into the world were summoned back for this momentous occasion.
At the heart of it all, Feng Zhenhai had fully reclaimed his authority. After spending time recovering and consolidating his newfound strength, he wasted no time investigating everything that had transpired in his absence.
What he discovered left him fuming.
Seated in the grand hall, surrounded by trembling elders and his own sons, his expression was thunderous. "You let things fall into disarray in my absence?" His piercing gaze landed on Feng Haotian the current clan head. "Haotian! How could you let this happen under your rule?"
The imposing presence of Feng Zhenhai made even the most seasoned elders lower their heads in shame. Feng Haotian, his eldest son, swallowed nervously and bowed deeply. "Father, I---"
Before he could finish his sentence, a cane flew through the air. CRACK! It struck Feng Haotian’s shin with startling accuracy, making the grown man nearly buckle.
