The Old Predecessor of the Cheng family watched this scene unfold, his eyes narrowing sharply. His lips trembled slightly, yet not a single word escaped his mouth.
The might of Phoenix Empress had only been heard of before, but witnessing it firsthand revealed that even a powerhouse of his caliber could not help but feel his heart tremble at the sight.
Feng Jiu withdrew her hand, casting a cold glance at the corpse on the ground before turning her gaze to the Cheng family Old Predecessor. "Since you're all here, we'll be staying right here," she stated.
"Yes, yes. I'll show you all to the courtyard to rest," the Cheng family Old Predecessor hastily replied, snapping back to his senses. Daring not utter another word, he swiftly led them toward the rear courtyard.
Originally planning to stay at an inn, Feng Jiu and her companions ended up lodging at the Cheng residence. This left the entire Cheng family on edge, tiptoeing around in fear of offending her with any misstep.
