The maids in Shi Wan had never seen such a scene.
The sect leader arrived in a menacing manner, and it was obvious that nothing good would come of it.
Chi Xia's lips trembled, her whole body shaking. "Reply... reply to the Sect Leader, the... the... eldest young lady is not here."
"Not here?"
Feng Qingcheng was displeased. "Where did she go?"
She had brought everyone here to hold someone accountable and teach Feng Ninghe a good lesson.
If this woman wasn't in the manor, she wouldn't get to see a good show.
Chi Xia hurriedly said, "This servant does not know where the eldest young lady went. Before she left, she only said she had something to attend to."
"Damn it..."
Feng Qingcheng bit her lip, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "Could she have fled out of guilt?"
If Feng Ninghe fled, she would go somewhere they couldn't find her, and it would be much harder to settle the score then.
Wang Junzhao seemed to have thought of something and nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Feng Ninghe murdered Senior Brother Di, she must be scared now and has fled!"
"Fled?"
Di Yang seemed to hear a joke. His face was grim, and a fierce glint quickly flashed in his eyes. "Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find this woman."
Feng Qingcheng's expression was complex, and she uneasily voiced her worries. "Sect Leader, this woman is skilled at manipulating people. I heard she has some connection with the Underworld King."
The Underworld King was powerful and unfathomable, and he didn't care about mere immortal sects.
Even the entire Immortal Sect, with all its might, couldn't shake the Underworld King.
Di Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, a chill enveloping his gloomy face. "A life for a life. She dared to lay a hand on my son, and I will make her pay with her blood! So what if the Underworld King is involved? I will have his life!"
Even if it meant risking his own life, he would make Feng Ninghe pay for Di Wenbin's blood debt!
His cold and resolute words made Feng Qingcheng secretly rejoice.
This was the outcome she wanted.
The revenge for her son's murder was irreconcilable. Di Yang would relentlessly pursue Feng Ninghe, giving her no chance to breathe.
Wang Junzhao nodded indignantly and chimed in, "Sect Leader, my cultivation is low, and I probably can't be of much help. I am willing to contribute my meager strength to assist the Sect Leader!"
Several elders of the Feng family gathered.
Feng Guangyao and Madam Zhang also arrived at the entrance of Shi Wan.
In a short while, the entrance of Shi Wan was filled with curious youngsters.
"It seems the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect has come personally to settle a score!"
"Eldest young lady treated Di Wenbin in such a manner, Sect Leader Di must not have been able to stand it and came here personally."
The youngsters gathered and discussed animatedly.
Di Wenbin was, after all, the son of the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, and he deserved respect.
But Feng Ninghe had completely disregarded his dignity and attacked Di Wenbin. It was no wonder the Sect Leader came personally to settle the score.
"Sect Leader Di, I didn't expect you to come so late. If there's any neglect, I hope you won't mind."
The Grand Elder stepped forward proactively and greeted them respectfully.
Di Yang turned his head and looked at the Grand Elder. His gloomy eyes made it impossible to fathom his thoughts.
When the Grand Elder saw the spiritual tablet in Di Yang's arms, his eyes narrowed sharply, and he took a step back in alarm.
"This... Sect Leader Di's spiritual tablet..."
The Grand Elder steadied himself and fixed his gaze on the spiritual tablet.
Carved deeply into the tablet were the words: Beloved Son Di Wenbin's Memorial Tablet.
The other elders were also stunned.
Di Wenbin, who had been lively just a few days ago, was now reduced to a memorial tablet.
The Second Elder, fearing he was hallucinating, rubbed his eyes. "This... is this the memorial tablet of young brother Wenbin?"
Di Yang looked at everyone calmly and grunted, "My son Wenbin was cruelly murdered by a villain. I left the Immortal Sect and went to the Li Kingdom precisely to handle this matter!"
"What! Someone dared to kill the son of the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect!"
"Who is so audacious! That's the Immortal Sect. To oppose the Immortal Sect, aren't they tired of living?"
The young disciples of the Feng family chattered in amazement.
Normally, they were as polite as possible to Di Wenbin, never daring to offend him. Yet, someone had now attacked Di Wenbin.
The reactions of the crowd were within Feng Qingcheng's expectations. She explained, "It was Feng Ninghe who attacked Senior Brother Di."
The Grand Elder's expression was agitated, and he involuntarily took a step back, gritting his teeth. "Feng Ninghe... attacked young brother Di?"
Feng Ninghe's audacity and arrogance were not new, but she had now dared to attack Di Wenbin!
The Second Elder almost fainted upon hearing something so unbelievable. "I knew the eldest young lady was unreliable at such a young age. How long has it been, and she's already caused so much trouble!"
The Immortal Sect was not to be trifled with.
Especially in such a life-and-death situation.
If the Feng family were implicated...
Di Yang's eyes were filled with gloom, and he looked coldly at the crowd. "Don't worry, I, Di Yang, am not unreasonable. I will only seek out the one who attacked my son and will not let your Feng family be buried with him."
Feng Qingcheng was from the Feng family, so he had to show them some respect.
These words immediately relieved the Feng family.
The Grand Elder frowned and pondered, "Why did the eldest young lady attack young brother Di?"
To this, Feng Qingcheng grunted coldly, her expression icy. "She is cruel and heartless, inherently a wicked person. Senior Brother Di merely offended her, and she struck him down."
This explanation had some logic.
The grievances between Di Wenbin and Feng Ninghe were widely known.
It was just that everyone hadn't expected that after Feng Ninghe had publicly disciplined Di Wenbin, she was still not satisfied and had privately attacked him.
Mentioning Di Wenbin, Wang Junzhao became tearful and sobbed loudly. "Feng Ninghe is narrow-minded. She lured Senior Brother Di to the bamboo forest and attacked him. When Qingcheng and I arrived, Senior Brother Di had already breathed his last, and Feng Ninghe was standing right there, the murderer!"
The Grand Elder stepped forward and offered an apologetic expression to Di Yang. "Sect Leader Di, I am truly sorry. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. When the eldest young lady returns, I will definitely make her apologize to you!"
Feng Ninghe's behavior was extremely arrogant, and now she was also connected to the Underworld King.
The Grand Elder didn't have the ability to make Feng Ninghe obediently apologize. These were just empty words.
With trouble in front and wolves behind, the Grand Elder could only say so much.
"No need."
Di Yang gently reached out to the spiritual tablet in his arms, his eyes lowered, his expression pained, but his male voice was exceptionally firm. "I will personally seek justice for my son."
He would avenge himself, and he didn't need anyone else's help?
Feng Qingcheng stepped forward and said softly, "Sect Leader, it's getting late, and you must be exhausted from your journey. Why don't you stay here for the night? We can discuss how to find her tomorrow."
