Chapter 410: Whose Side Are You On?

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Whose Side Are You On?

Duncan glanced at Ye Feng, who was sitting there, and asked in confusion:

"And who might this be?"

The butler hurriedly made the introduction. "Patriarch, this is Ye Feng, the old immortal’s disciple. He has come today to retrieve the Qilin Spear..."

"What Qilin Spear?" Duncan frowned at the butler. "Do we have a Qilin Spear in the Deng family?"

The butler was momentarily stunned.

Ye Feng, sitting to the side, frowned slightly. ’Just as the Jade-faced Phoenix said, this guy really is no good.’

Just then, Duncan turned to look at Ye Feng and said calmly:

"Young man, you must have the wrong family. We don’t have any Qilin Spear here. Please leave!"

Ye Feng looked at Duncan and chuckled. "Duncan, is it? Are you planning on keeping my Qilin Spear for yourself?"

"Are you trying to cause trouble in the Deng family residence?" Duncan’s expression instantly turned cold.

Seeing this, the butler’s face paled. He looked at Duncan and said hurriedly, "Patriarch, don’t be rash! Don’t forget about the old immortal backing him!"

Duncan looked at Ye Feng and let out a cold laugh. "The old immortal? I’m not afraid. I have my own backing!"

As soon as Duncan finished speaking, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded from outside, followed by a group of black-robed figures walking in.

The moment the black-robed figures stepped into the room, a grim, ghostly aura instantly filled the air.

People from the Underworld!

Just then, another set of footsteps sounded at the door. The black-robed figures parted, and an old man in a yellow robe walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back.

When Duncan saw the yellow-robed old man, his eyes lit up. He hurried over and said respectfully:

"Duncan greets Lord King of Equality!"

The newcomer was none other than the King of Equality, one of the Ten Yama Kings of the Underworld.

The King of Equality looked at Duncan and spoke in a cold voice, "Duncan, I hear you were planning to hand over the Qilin Spear to someone else?"

Duncan’s face turned pale. He quickly shook his head and said with a sycophantic smile, "Of course not! I’ve been meaning to present the Qilin Spear to the Underworld for a long time. My lord, just you wait, I’ll go get it for you right now!"

With that, he turned and left.

The King of Equality turned to Ye Feng and said with a sinister smile, "Ye Feng, the Great Emperor has his men looking for you, and to think you’d be right here!

Excellent. Once I have the Qilin Spear, you’ll be coming with me obediently!"

The butler shook his head discreetly. The girl beside him looked at Ye Feng, but he remained seated, his expression calm, still sipping his tea leisurely.

The girl’s eyes lit up slightly. ’He does have a certain presence!’

Before long, Duncan emerged from the room holding a long, brocaded box. He opened it and took out a long spear.

The spear glowed with a dark red light, and its handle was fashioned into the shape of a ferocious qilin’s head.

The moment the spear appeared, a terrifying murderous aura shot toward the heavens. The roof couldn’t withstand the pressure and a hole was instantly blasted right through it!

Seeing that spear, Ye Feng suddenly sat up straight. A familiar sensation washed over him!

The Qilin Spear!

Soon, the Qilin Spear began to tremble slightly, as if in joy.

At that moment, Duncan held the spear and offered it to the King of Equality, saying with a smile:

"My lord, this spear’s murderous aura is too strong. Even I don’t dare hold it for long. You should be careful!"

The King of Equality scoffed, "It’s just a spear. How strong can its murderous aura be? Hand it over!"

He then reached out to take it.

Ye Feng, standing nearby, gave a cold smile. With a sudden thought, he gave a soft command, "Go!"

The King of Equality was just about to grasp the spear’s shaft, but in the next instant, something unexpected happened!

The spear suddenly erupted with a terrifying murderous aura and shot like a bolt of lightning toward the King of Equality’s heart.

"Ah...!" Duncan cried out in alarm. He tried to pull the spear back, but he couldn’t control it at all. Instead, the spear dragged him stumbling forward, and in the next moment, with a PFFT, it plunged directly into the King of Equality’s chest.

A sickening squelch was followed by a bloodcurdling scream.

Duncan watched in horror as the long spear pierced straight through the King of Equality’s heart, the sharp tip emerging from his back.

"You... you ambushed me..." the King of Equality snarled at Duncan, his eyes wide with fury. But in the next moment, his body went limp.

The black-robed figures behind them were also stunned by the scene. Their eyes bloodshot, they roared at Duncan, "Duncan, how dare you ambush Lord King of Equality!"

Duncan finally snapped out of it. He opened his mouth, about to explain, but Ye Feng, standing to the side, spoke up in a cold voice:

"Duncan is my father-in-law. Why would he ever hand over my Qilin Spear to you? I’ll be honest, this was all a trap we set up today to kill you all."

He then looked at Duncan with an expression of regret and said, "Father-in-law, I thought that bastard Ning Xuan would come personally today so we could join forces and eliminate him. I didn’t expect such a small fry to show up instead. What a shame!"

’He even wanted to kill the Fengdu Emperor?’

’This guy is trying to get me killed!’

Duncan was so scared he was on the verge of tears. He looked at Ye Feng, about to curse him out, but the black-robed figures gritted their teeth and spoke:

"Duncan, very good. Just you wait to face the Great Emperor’s wrath! Let’s go!"

With that, they turned and stormed away.

Duncan finally came to his senses and shrieked, "Stop them! We can’t let the news of the King of Equality’s death get out!"

Stomping his feet, he charged after the black-robed figures.

In the blink of an eye, Duncan was behind them, thrusting the Qilin Spear forward ruthlessly.

With a muffled PFFT, he impaled two of the black-robed men.

But the remaining figures scattered and fled, quickly disappearing from sight. From the distance, their hate-filled voices echoed back:

"Duncan, just you wait!"

Duncan beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying, "It’s over! We’re completely screwed! The Deng family is done for!"

At this, the girl looked at Ye Feng and gave him a thumbs-up. "That was a slick move, framing him like that!"

Ye Feng replied with a humble expression, "I learned from the best!"

The girl: "..."

Just then, Duncan spun around, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Ye Feng and roared, "You bastard! You dare to set me up? I’ll fucking kill you!"

With that, he raised the Qilin Spear and charged at Ye Feng.

But the girl languidly said, "That’s enough. We’ve already made an enemy of the Underworld. If you offend those old immortals as well, do you think we’ll make it out of this alive?"

Duncan froze on the spot.

The next moment, he collapsed weakly to the ground, beating his chest and stamping his feet as he cried, "I’m ruined! I’m completely ruined!"

The girl pursed her lips and said, "If you ask me, this is all your own fault. If you had just returned his Qilin Spear, the old immortal would have owed you a favor. If you needed help, she would have certainly helped you.

But no, you just had to throw in your lot with the Underworld, hoping they’d support you in becoming the number one family beyond the mortal realm. And look at you now. All that for nothing!"

Hearing this, Duncan was about to explode with rage. He turned, glared at the girl, and roared furiously, "You’re still defending him? Whose side are you on? Get out!"

The girl shot Duncan a glare and said lazily, "I’m just calling it as I see it. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll just leave, won’t I?"

With that, she stood up to leave.
