Zhang Ruochen shook his head, even if his spiritual power was strong, he could at most only sense some dangerous auras, and he simply couldn’t be sure that his senses were always correct.
Huang Yichen entered the Mountain God Temple and continued to cultivate.
Xiao Hei set up a fire, he didn’t know where he hunted a savage beast, and was roasting it on top of the fire, emitting a burst of meat aroma.
The night was getting darker and darker, a miserable cold wind blew from the mountains, blowing the flames in the fire more and more exuberantly.
The wind blew more and more sharply, emitting a whistling sound. At some point, a flake of snow unexpectedly followed and drifted down, getting bigger and bigger, and finally turning into a piece of goose feather snow.
Half an hour passed, and the entire mountain field was completely covered by wind and snow, silver and cold, and the wind was like a giant beast roaring, with a very mournful sound.
“The Snowflake Eagle was left at the Hidden Mist Lake, I left in too much of a hurry at the time and didn’t bring it with me.” Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged beside the fire and seemed to say to himself.
Xiao Hei’s two paws were holding a huge piece of cooked meat as he ate it, saying, “The Snowflake Eagle is after all a third-stage savage beast that already possesses a certain amount of intelligence, and since it couldn’t wait for you, it’s probably already flown back to the Martial City Palace of Learning.”
Huang Yichen stopped cultivating, opened a pair of beautiful treasure blue eyes, eyelashes fluttering gently, staring at Little Black who was eating so well, saying, “A cat actually knows so many things, could it be that you are a spirit species amongst the savage beasts?”
Xiao Hei’s round pair of slinky eyes glared slightly and said, “What is a spiritual seed? This daddy is the Emperor of Slaughtering Heaven and Killing Earth, I don’t know how many spirit seeds I’ve eaten.”
Huang Yichen looked at Xiao Hei’s look and would only find it comical, and wouldn’t believe its words at all, saying, “Xiao Hei, that was the meat that was roasted by you?”
“That’s natural.” Little Black puffed out his chest and said with great pride, “The meat of the Green Fire Deer is still good, do you want a piece?”
“Then have a taste!” Yellow Smoke Dust said.
“Swish!”
Huang Yichen’s fingers guided, and the jade-white Snow Dragon Sword flew out of its sheath, slicing off a piece of two-twenty cooked meat that landed in her jade hand.
Huang Yichen’s sword had been taken away by the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, which was why Zhang Ruochen lent her the Snow Dragon Sword.
It had to be said that the meat roasted by Little Black was indeed a masterpiece, the flavour was strangely fragrant and even Huang Yichen, who had never dabbled in meat, ate it with relish.
Of course, Huang Yichen’s eating is much more elegant than Xiao Hei’s, two slender jade fingers, just gently twisting down a shred of meat, into the crystal lips, chewing slowly swallowing, a trace of sound will not be issued.
Suddenly, Xiao Hei’s two ears twitched and glanced towards the door, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, you wouldn’t be the reincarnation of a crow, would you!”
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen naturally heard the footsteps coming from outside, the sound was very soft and thin, coupled with the influence of the sound of the wind and snow, if not for the fact that Zhang Ruochen had been on the defensive for a long time, it would have been almost impossible for him to spot that person.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer and had already entered the Mountain God Temple.
A green shirted man in his twenties, walked in from the outside, flicked the snowflakes on his body, looked at the two men and a cat inside, revealing a few surprised looks, and said: ”After a night of wind and snow, with nowhere to rest, I had wanted to take shelter from the cold winds in the Mountain God Temple, but I didn’t think that the two of you would already be here. Under the Yuntai Zongfu inner house disciple, Shen Feng, I don’t know if I have disturbed the two of you?”
Huang Yichen was originally very defensive, but when he heard the other party say that he was a disciple of the Yuntai Zongfu, he relaxed his guard and put down the Snow Dragon Sword in his hand, saying, “Shen Feng, I’ve heard of your name, the ninth ranked expert of the Yuntai Zongfu, and his cultivation has already reached the Great Circle of the Earthly Extreme Realm. It is said that you once fought with a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial arts myth and supported it for three moves, although you ended up losing with serious injuries, but it made you famous in one battle.”
Shen Feng, who was quite elegant, stared at Huang Yichen, a joyful look appearing in his eyes as he said, “The girl actually knows me, it really flatters me. The girl looks like a heavenly fairy, like a goddess descending from the mortal dust, I didn’t think that I, Shen Feng, would be able to meet a beauty like a girl in a wild temple in the mountains, could this be fate?”
If at another time, someone dared to say such frivolous words to Huang Yichen, Huang Yichen would have to cut out his tongue.
At this moment, however, Huang Yichen was quite pleased with herself, her eyes slightly glancing towards Zhang Ruochen, seeing that Zhang Ruochen was still talking to Little Black, not taking Shen Feng’s words to heart at all.
Her heart couldn’t help but feel a bit irritated as she said, ”Senior Brother Chen, can’t you see that Eunuch Shen is here? Eunuch Shen is the top expert of the Yuntai Zongfu, his martial arts cultivation is many times more powerful than yours, and you don’t pay your respects?”
Zhang Ruochen gently patted Little Black’s head, as if he had finished explaining what it had said, so he stood up and slightly bowed to Shen Feng, saying, “Greetings, Brother Shen. Now that the Yuntai Sect House and the Martial City School Palace are joining forces to deal with the Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult, we are also considered to be our own brothers and sisters, Brother Shen, no need to be polite, please take a seat.”
“So the two of you are students of the Martial City School Palace.”
Shen Feng smiled and was not polite, he directly walked over towards Huang Yichen, bowed to him with a smile, and then sat beside Huang Yichen.
He glanced towards Zhang Ruochen and said, “Senior Brother Chen is an Inner Palace student of the Martial City Academy Palace?”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, “That’s right.”
Shen Feng’s eyes turned and said, “I see that Senior Brother Chen should be less than twenty years old, and at such an age, it is really not simple to become an Inner Palace Disciple of the Martial City Academic Palace. But I am very curious, why is Senior Brother Chen wearing a mask?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed and did not return to Shen Feng’s words, asking instead, “Since Brother Shen is a powerful person of the Earth Extreme Realm Great Circle, why doesn’t he even have a mount?”
Shen Feng said, “There is a mount, but this time, I went to the Yunwu County Kingdom to deal with the Black Market and the evil people of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, so when I left the clan, I didn’t bring the mount out.”
“As far as I know, there are no towns within a radius of 300 miles, it belongs to the barren land within the Yunwu County Kingdom, so there shouldn’t be any Evil People from the Black Market and Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, so how did Brother Shen chase it here?” Zhang Ruochen asked without leaving a trace.
Shen Feng laughed and said, “It was also my first time coming to the Yunwu County Kingdom, and I didn’t realise that there were no towns in a 300-mile radius, or else I wouldn’t have ended up in this one Mountain God Temple.”
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Huang Yichen glared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Senior Brother Chen, Eunuch Shen is a young master of the Cloud Martial Prefecture, why are you interrogating so much? You don’t think that Eunuch Shen is an evil martial artist from the black market?”
“I reckon that Senior Brother Chen has some misunderstanding about me, it seems that I must prove my identity before I can do so.”
Shen Feng immediately took out a token and handed it to Huang Yichen’s hand.
The front of that token was engraved with the words “Yuntai Zongfu”, and the back was engraved with the words “Shen Feng”, which was precisely the waist tag that only the inner palace disciples of Yuntai Zongfu had.
After confirming that the waist plate was not a fake, Huang Yichen returned it to Shen Feng.
Zhang Ruochen said indifferently, “I was just casually asking.”
Huang Yichen’s pair of almond eyes glared at Zhang Ruochen again and said, “Senior Brother Chen, you are too suspicious! With Eunuch Shen’s martial arts cultivation, if he wanted to deal with us, it would just be a breeze, why would he need to play so many tricks?”
“Many thanks to the girl for believing in Mister Shen.”
Shen Feng smiled, “I haven’t asked for the girl’s name yet?”
Huang Yichen was about to give her name when suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stood up and gazed outside the Mountain God Temple, saying, “It’s coming!”
“Who’s coming?” Huang Yichen asked.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and injected his true qi into his ear chakra, counting in his mouth as he said, “Thirty miles away, there are at least two hundred people, and the aura on their bodies …… is that of the Poisonous Spider Chamber’s Evil Dao martial practitioners. If I’m not wrong, it should be Hua Qingshan chasing after them.”
Zhang Ruochen stared towards Xiao Hei, signalled a look to it, and walked towards the outside.
When Shen Feng saw Zhang Ruochen walking outside, a sneer flashed in his eyes as he glanced towards Huang Yichen and asked, “How did the people from the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce chase them here?”
Huang Yichen was not on guard against Shen Feng, his face was grave, and he did not notice that a silver needle had appeared between Shen Feng’s fingers, saying, “They should have come to catch me.”
“Actually, I’m also here to catch you.”
An odd smile appeared on Shen Feng’s face, his arm jerked forward, and the silver needle between his fingers, like a bit of silver light, stabbed Huang Yichen’s brow, wanting to seal Huang Yichen’s sea of qi.
Huang Yichen’s face changed drastically, simply did not expect Shen Feng to strike at her.
At this time, even if she wanted to dodge, it was already too late.
Seeing that he was about to win, the smile on Shen Feng’s face became even more intense.
Right at this moment, a cat’s cry sounded in his ears and a black light flashed past.
Xiao Hei’s claws were sharper than the blade of a knife, and with a wave in the air, three deep blood marks appeared above Shen Feng’s arm, directly cutting the tendons of Shen Feng’s arm.
If Shen Feng had not withdrawn his hand quickly, his arm would already be gone!
“You ……”
Shen Feng stared at that one black cat, fear in his heart, no matter what, he was also a strong person of the Earth Extremity Realm Great Circle, even in the case of being out of reach, it was impossible to be injured by a cat.
Little Black licked the blood on his paw and said, “Don’t look at me with that kind of eyes, being the Emperor of Slaughtering the Heavens and Killing the Earth, I actually didn’t kill you with a single strike, I feel quite defeated.”
“What the hell are you?”
Huang Yichen immediately stepped back, drew his Snow Dragon Sword, assumed a defensive stance, and coldly stared at Shen Feng.
Shen Feng put his right hand away and resumed his calm and collected demeanour.
He believed that with his cultivation, even if he only used one hand, he could still deal with Huang Yichen.
As for that one cat, it would only be able to injure him with a sneak attack.
Shen Feng laughed: ”There’s no harm in telling you, I am indeed a disciple of the Yuntai Sect House, Shen Feng. Of course, that’s just my apparent identity, my identity in the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce is the senior brother of the Poison Spider Young Master.”
Huang Yichen was very annoyed, and with cold stars in his eyes, he said, “How were you able to find our whereabouts?”
Shen Feng stared at Huang Yichen as if he was looking at an idiot and laughed, “Your Highness, County Lord, do you think that only the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce is trying to deal with you?”
“There is also a character even more powerful than the Poison Spider Young Lord who is already on his way here.
If you fall into the hands of the Poison Spider Young Lord, you will at least be able to live. If you fall into his hands, it will be a dead end. If you are a smart person, you should obediently tie your hands now, and you will also save me from having to do it myself.”
