At this moment, Yang Guo had already leaped off the (diāo – eagle)’s back. Standing firm, he first surveyed the Five Ghosts, then turned to the Shi () family’s five brothers, and said, “Are these the Shi () family brothers from Myriad Beast Villa? May I say a word?”

Shi () Eldest said, “Is Your Excellency perhaps the Divine Eagle Hero rumored in the pugilistic world?”

Yang Guo said, “Precisely.” He then continued, “Everyone, the One-Cave Ghosts of Shanxi have an agreement with me in advance. May I first settle my grievances with them, and then you can compete?”

Upon hearing this, Shi () Second was extremely displeased and shouted, “Bastard, I don’t care if you’re the Divine Eagle Hero or an unknown nobody, wait until we’ve dealt with these wandering spirits and wild ghosts.”

As his words fell, he ignored everything, leaped with his saber, and charged straight at the Five Ghosts.

At this moment, Yang Guo also moved, his right hand suddenly striking out with a palm, instantly sending Shi () Second flying.

After Shi () Second flew backward, he directly crashed into a fir tree three zhang away, only then coming to a stop.

Seeing this scene, the Shi () family brothers’ eyes immediately burned with fury, and they rushed forward.

Shi () Fourth and Shi () Fifth even surrounded Yang Guo from left and right, intending to avenge their second brother.

“Hold on!”

Just as they were about to make a move, Shi () Second timely spoke to stop the two, then said, “I’m not injured.”

In fact, even Shi () Second himself was confused. With that palm strike just now, he clearly felt an unparalleled immense force coming at him. He even thought there was no possibility of survival, but unexpectedly, he was not harmed in the slightest.

“Crack!”

Suddenly, a breaking sound was heard, and then the fir tree behind Shi () Second collapsed with a crash.

Seeing this scene again, how could Shi () Second not understand? It turned out that the Divine Eagle Hero had no intention of harming anyone at all. The immense force he felt just now had been transferred to that fir tree.

To strike with a palm and make the force not directly act on the first recipient, but instead transfer to the second recipient.

Such mastery of palm techniques was truly miraculous, instantly astonishing everyone present.

Although Shi () Second had a bit of a hot temper, he wasn’t the kind of person who didn’t know what was good for him. He immediately walked closer, cupped his fists and bowed to Yang Guo, saying, “Thank you, Divine Eagle Hero, for showing mercy. It was I who was ignorant.”

Yang Guo nodded slightly, then turned to the Five Ghosts and said, “One-Cave Ghosts of Shanxi, I see that you are all wounded today. Even if I defeat you, you will surely not be convinced. Do you want to recuperate and fight another day, or…”

Having witnessed that palm strike just now, the Five Ghosts reckoned that even if they weren’t injured, they would be no match for Yang Guo. How could they dare to fight him? Immediately, Fan () Yi Weng () cupped his fists and said, “Divine Eagle Hero, we have already witnessed your martial arts just now. How dare we be your enemies? Rest assured, we, the One-Cave Ghosts of Shanxi, will honor our wager. Tomorrow, we will withdraw from Shanxi and never step foot into Shanxi again.”

Yang Guo shook his head and said, “I think you all have misunderstood. I am not intentionally making things difficult for you, nor do I intend to force you to withdraw from Shanxi. As long as this Fiend Ghost brother sends his four wives and concubines back home.”

The Five Ghosts were all stunned upon hearing this. Each of them, “This humble one dares not disobey. If those four wretched women refuse to leave, I will use a big stick to drive them away.”

Yang Guo said, “That’s not necessary either. If they want to leave, you cannot force them. If they want to stay, you can let them be. In short, you can no longer be fickle and abandon them.”

“Yes, this humble one obeys.”

“Good, the grievances between me and the Five Ghosts are settled. You can make your move now.”

As soon as these words fell, a clear laugh suddenly echoed from the void: “Hahahaha, as the saying goes, even an honest official cannot settle family disputes. Disciple, not only have you settled a family dispute, but you’ve also arranged everything clearly for them. You’re truly something.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see several figures treading on air, approaching. It was Ye Qingfeng and his group.

This feat of treading on air was truly astonishing, and everyone except Yang Guo was shaken by it.

Fan () Yi Weng’s () heart, however, skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, “He really came?”

Seeing Ye Qingfeng and the others, Yang Guo quickly stepped forward and knelt to pay his respects: “Disciple Yang Guo, greets Master.”

The Divine Eagle also came closer, squawking twice, very happy.

“Get up.”

Ye Qingfeng helped him up and patted the Divine Eagle’s wings, comforting it slightly.

Guo Xiang’s eyes sparkled, and she thought, “I didn’t expect him to really be my senior brother.”

The more she thought about it, the happier she felt, and the more excited she became. However, Yang Guo was wearing an iron mask, preventing her from seeing his face, which inevitably left her with some regret. This kind of girlish thought was naturally unknown to others.

Guo Fu, on the other hand, stared intently at Yang Guo, her gaze extremely complex, containing resentment, joy, admiration, and indignation, all at once. However, due to Ye Qingfeng’s presence, she dared not act rashly, and thus did not immediately seek trouble with Yang Guo.

As for Guo Polu, he, as always, had little presence.

Ye Qingfeng had not seen Yang Guo for many years and carefully observed him. He saw him dressed in a gray cloak, with a sharp sword strapped to his back, exuding a profound and steady aura. His internal energy was perfectly harmonized, even surpassing that of the Five Greats.

At that moment, Ye Qingfeng did not hesitate to praise, “Disciple, after many years, I didn’t expect you to have reached this stage. It’s truly commendable.”

Yang Guo quickly humbly replied, “Master overpraises me. If it weren’t for Master’s excellent guidance, how could this disciple have achieved what he has today?”

Ye Qingfeng smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying. Then, he turned to the Shi () family brothers and the One-Cave Ghosts of Shanxi, who were preparing to resume their fight, and said, “Everyone, I am Ye Qingfeng, and I have a small reputation in the pugilistic world, which you must have heard of. The conflict between you is actually a misunderstanding. If you trust me, why don’t you let me help you resolve it?”

The name of the Sword Saint had already shaken the pugilistic world twenty years ago, and after two decades of refinement, it remained enduring, becoming even more renowned, almost a martial arts legend. Throughout the entire pugilistic world, whether it be the righteous or the unrighteous factions, mentioning this name would garner some respect. At this moment, with Ye Qingfeng personally speaking, the Shi () family brothers and the One-Cave Ghosts of Shanxi naturally dared not disobey.

Shi () Eldest immediately said, “Since Venerable Ye is willing to mediate, my Shi () family brothers will naturally obey.”

Fan () Yi Weng () also said, “Having Great Hero Ye mediate is truly the best. We, the One-Cave Ghosts of Shanxi, are also willing to obey.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Very well, since both sides have agreed, let’s first find a place to talk. After all, this place is a desolate wilderness, and it’s freezing cold now, so it’s not suitable to handle this matter here.”

Shi () Eldest said, “Our villa is five li to the east from here. If you don’t mind, please move with us.”

So, the group majestically set off towards Myriad Beast Villa.

Not long after, they arrived at Myriad Beast Villa, and the Shi () family brothers quickly called their servants to grandly entertain everyone.

Although the One-Cave Ghosts of Shanxi had scared away the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, and were nominally the enemies of the Shi () family brothers, the Shi () family brothers were heroic figures. Since they had agreed to give Ye Qingfeng face, they naturally did not treat them differently.

In the pugilistic world, this was called “courtesy before force,” or “one thing at a time.”

After a grand reception, Ye Qingfeng said, “Everyone, today’s matter has many knots. For the sake of fairness, both sides can first clarify the situation, and then I will preside over justice for you. How about it?”

“Yes, we’ll listen to Great Hero Ye.”

“We have no objections either.”

Both sides had no objections and immediately agreed.
