Black Hawk Squadron Training Base.
“Li Feng, Li Feng, how on earth did you manage it?” As soon as Ge Feng returned to the training base, he eagerly searched for Li Feng. He wanted to understand exactly how Li Feng had killed two Half-Step Innate experts and five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists in such a short time.
“Brother, Li Feng is recovering from his injuries. You must not disturb him.” Ge Ying said with dissatisfaction.
“Li Feng is injured?” Ge Feng was stunned. But when he thought about the opponents Li Feng had faced, two Half-Step Innate and five Acquired Ninth Layer experts, worry immediately filled his heart. He quickly asked Ge Ying, “Sister, is Li Feng alright?”
“Li Feng only overexerted himself.” Ge Ying replied.
“Overexertion, that’s good, that’s good. Li Feng is simply too powerful. He actually managed to kill two Half-Step Innate experts and five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists.” Ge Feng’s face was full of admiration. Li Feng was someone he could never catch up to. He had no idea when he would ever reach such a level.
“What? Two Half-Step Innate and five Acquired Ninth Layer?” Ge Ying’s face showed shock.
“Sister, you didn’t know? I thought you already knew.” Ge Feng was surprised. Then he asked, “Sister, did you see how Li Feng killed them earlier?”
Ge Ying nodded, but she did not want to dwell on that question. Instead she asked, “Brother, what about Beiming Qi?”
“I let him go.”
“What? You actually let him go? You…” Anger flashed across Ge Ying’s face. When she remembered how Beiming Qi had forced her to watch those island country videos, she wished she could kill him.
“I didn’t want to let him go either, but this was Li Feng’s decision. Li Feng wants Beiming Qi to do something.” Ge Feng said helplessly.
“Since it’s Li Feng’s decision, then never mind.” Although Ge Ying was unwilling to let Beiming Qi off so easily, since it was Li Feng’s idea, she believed Li Feng must have his own purpose.
Ge Feng glanced at Ge Ying and felt a little puzzled. His sister seemed to treat Li Feng better than she treated him, and she trusted Li Feng even more than she trusted him. What was the reason for this?
Tap, tap, tap…
Footsteps sounded. Soon afterwards, Li Feng appeared in front of Ge Feng and Ge Ying.
“Li Feng, how are you?”
“Li Feng, are you alright?”
Ge Feng and Ge Ying quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
“I’m fine. It’s just overexertion.” Li Feng shook his head. Then he looked at Ge Feng and asked, “Ge Feng, did you handle the matter I entrusted to you?”
Ge Feng nodded. With confusion he asked, “Li Feng, why did you ask me to do that?”
“Because of the Boxing King Tournament invitation letter.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Since Ge Feng had already carried out his instructions, he could now proceed to the next step of the plan.
“Invitation letter?” Ge Feng was stunned.
“Yes, Ge Feng, you should know that with the Boxing King Tournament invitation letter, one can participate in the tournament. The tournament is about to begin soon. Many people want to get their hands on these invitation letters. Yet we hold some in our hands. This is our opportunity.” Li Feng said in a deep voice.
“Li Feng, are you planning to sell the invitation letters?” Ge Feng was stunned, then quickly realised.
“No, more precisely, sell the slots.” Li Feng shook his head and said.
“Sell slots? What do you mean by selling slots?” Ge Ying asked.
“Right now, I have one invitation letter. You two have one. Nangong Xin has one. According to the rules, each invitation letter allows a minimum of two and a maximum of ten people to participate in the Boxing King Tournament. That means our three invitation letters can allow up to thirty people to take part.”
At this point, Li Feng paused. Then he said to Ge Feng, “But your Ge family only has you and Ge Ying participating. This time, I asked the Nangong family to send two people. Plus, I promised Song Zhiyuan and the others that they could participate. So for our group, one invitation letter is enough. The remaining two invitation letters have twenty slots. I plan to sell those slots to others.”
“Li Feng, this is far too risky. If those powerful forces find out we have so many invitation letters, they might just attack us directly to seize them.” Ge Feng sucked in a cold breath. What Li Feng was doing was like taking chestnuts from fire or pulling teeth from a tiger. It was far too dangerous.
“That’s why I killed so many people from the Beiming family today. Add to that the task I asked you to make Beiming Qi carry out. I believe very few people will truly dare to move against us. When the time comes, we just need to kill one to warn the rest.” Li Feng said meaningfully.
Ge Feng was stunned. He suddenly looked at Li Feng. “Li Feng, you asked Beiming Qi to do that thing for this purpose? So you had prepared everything long ago.”
“Exactly. Although this carries risk, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Right now so many people want to participate in the Boxing King Tournament and obtain the Nine Dragon Jade. I believe they will definitely want to buy participation slots. We might make a huge profit. For the next few years, we won’t have to worry about cultivation resources.” Li Feng nodded and said.
“Of course, Ge Feng, that invitation letter is now in your hands. If you are unwilling, I won’t force you.” Li Feng looked at Ge Feng and said.
“Brother.” Ge Ying felt a stir of excitement. More importantly, she had complete trust in Li Feng. So she looked at Ge Feng nervously.
Ge Feng fell silent. He knew this plan carried enormous risk. If it went wrong, they might offend several super forces. But at the same time, Li Feng’s proposal tempted him greatly. Cultivation resources were what mattered most to him. Without enough cultivation resources, his strength would improve too slowly. If he relied only on the family’s allocation and what he could buy himself, reaching Acquired Fifth Layer might take five to ten years. But now things were different. The cultivation resources he had obtained from Li Feng had allowed him to reach Acquired Fifth Layer in just over a month.
If cultivation resources could not keep up in the future, he had no idea how many years it would take to advance further.
Moreover, the gap between him and Li Feng was already so large. If he wasted a few more years, who knew how wide that gap would become.
Ge Feng understood that Li Feng’s incredible strength came partly from consuming vast amounts of cultivation resources.
Wealth and honour come from taking risks. If Li Feng was not afraid, then what did he have to fear?
Besides, in this Boxing King Tournament, he and Ge Ying were just there to make up the numbers. They had no intention of obtaining the Nine Dragon Jade. It was better to use the slots from the invitation letters to exchange for resources.
Thinking of this, Ge Feng gritted his teeth. “Let’s do it.”
“Brother is the best.” Joy appeared on Ge Ying’s face.
“Ge Feng, I believe you won’t regret this decision.” Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief. With Ge Feng’s agreement, there would be no problem with Nangong Xin either. Next came arranging the entire plan.
Of course, if possible, Li Feng still wanted to find the invitation letter that had belonged to the Black Stone Gang. Song Zhiyuan had once said that the Black Stone Gang possessed one invitation letter. But after the Black Stone Gang was destroyed, he had searched for a long time and found nothing.
Yet deep in his heart, Li Feng had a feeling that this invitation letter was still in Tianhai City, just hidden in a place he had overlooked.
“Li Feng, if you’re going to do it, then make it even bigger.” Ge Feng said in a deep voice.
“Make it bigger? What do you mean?” Li Feng was stunned.
“Right now, many forces will attack those who hold invitation letters in order to obtain them. We can act as the oriole behind the mantis catching the cicada. We can rob their invitation letters.” A sharp glint flashed in Ge Feng’s eyes.
“Black eat black?”
“Exactly.” Ge Feng nodded.
“Not bad. This is a good idea. It seems we need to plan this carefully. We can use this Boxing King Tournament to gain the maximum benefit.” Li Feng’s eyes lit up. He had not thought of black eat black before, but Ge Feng’s words reminded him. Since they had already started, why not go even bigger? He was not worried about offending any forces. This kind of business was always a matter of mutual consent.
Next, Li Feng, Ge Feng, and Ge Ying discussed for an hour, perfecting the plan.
Zhang Family.
Zhang Yunhao looked at the item in his hand. A grave expression flashed in his eyes. As the head of the Zhang family, he understood very clearly what this item represented.
“Has this day finally arrived?”
If he could choose, Zhang Yunhao would prefer never to see this item in his lifetime. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. At the moment he least wanted to see it, it had appeared.
Back then, the four great families had been so powerful. If they had carried out that plan then, it might have succeeded. But now the Liu family had been nearly crippled by Li Feng. The Zhao family had suffered heavy losses. Although the Zhang family and Qu family had suffered relatively little, Zhang Yunhao still felt uneasy about that plan deep in his heart.
However, the orders from above were not something he could refuse. He had no right to refuse.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunhao stood up. He walked to the bookshelf in his study and pressed a hidden mechanism.
Click, click!
The bookshelf slowly moved aside, revealing a pitch-black opening.
Zhang Yunhao glanced at it and resolutely walked inside.
Through a long passage, Zhang Yunhao arrived at a stone chamber.
“Family Head.” When a man in black saw Zhang Yunhao appear, he immediately knelt on the ground.
“How is the training of the people I asked you to train over these years?” Zhang Yunhao asked coldly.
“Family Head, rest assured. All of them have met your requirements.” The man in black quickly replied.
“Very good. Begin Plan Number One immediately.” Zhang Yunhao nodded with satisfaction.
“Yes.” The man in black responded and left through another door in the stone chamber.
After watching the man in black leave, Zhang Yunhao walked to a corner of the stone chamber and pressed another mechanism.
Click, click…
Another stone door opened from the rock wall. Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of Zhang Yunhao.
“Go at once and inform the Liu family, Qu family, and Zhao family. Tell them the Dark Prison Plan has begun.” Zhang Yunhao said in a deep voice.
“Yes.” The figure responded and vanished into the stone door.
Zhang Yunhao murmured to himself, “The Dark Prison Plan, prepared for decades, is finally about to begin. If it succeeds, the four great families live. If it fails, the four great families perish. Venerable Lord, I hope your Dark Prison Plan will not fail.”
