“I can tell you clearly that I have two invitations to the Boxing King Tournament in my hand. If any of you want to snatch them, step forward right now. I will fulfil your wish,” Li Feng said as he looked at the rogue cultivators in front of the Great Hero Hall.
Snatch?
Hearing Li Feng’s words, these rogue cultivators shook their heads. The Tianshan Twin Heroes together could already resist a second-layer Innate expert, yet the person beside Li Feng had easily killed the Tianshan Twin Heroes. Did that not mean his strength was beyond second-layer Innate? How could people like them possibly deal with such a person?
Although hearing that Li Feng had two invitations made their hearts race, the invitations were tempting, but their lives were more important.
“Is there anyone else who wants to snatch them? Step forward now,” Li Feng said coldly as he gazed at those rogue cultivators. However, his divine sense was focused on those hidden in the shadows. With his Innate realm divine sense, even if someone hid and watched secretly, not even the fourth-layer Innate ancient martial artist from Golden Buddha Temple could detect it.
Having learned from Chu Kuang’s sneak attack on Blood Shadow, Li Feng no longer dared to be careless. If those hidden experts launched a surprise attack, even with Nangong Wu present, facing several at once might not be easy to handle.
Whoosh!
A figure leapt down from a nearby rooftop and landed in front of the Great Hero Hall.
“What, you want to snatch them?” Li Feng looked at the young man ahead with cold eyes. He could not see through this youth’s strength. It was clearly not due to his cultivation technique but rather because he had something concealing his cultivation.
However, no matter how strong the opponent was, if he tried to cause trouble today, he would surely die.
“Snatch?” The youth shook his head upon hearing this and said, “No, how could I do something so immoral? I want to trade for a spot with you.”
“Trade?” Li Feng gave the youth a deep look, then said, “Fine, follow me.” With that, he turned and entered the Great Hero Hall.
The youth gave a light laugh and followed.
“Right, trade. Why did I not think of that? If snatching does not work, we can trade.”
“I want to trade.”
“I want to trade too.”
The rogue cultivators reacted and immediately ran to the Great Hero Hall shouting. If not for their fear of Nangong Wu on the steps, they might have rushed straight inside.
“Quiet,” Nangong Wu shouted loudly.
Swish!
Hearing Nangong Wu’s words, the rogue cultivators instantly shut their mouths.
Not far away, Chen Miaoling looked at Nangong Wu curiously and said to Hua Jieyu, “Hua Jieyu, who is this person? He killed the Tianshan Twin Heroes so easily. His strength must be at least second-layer Innate, right?”
“Second-layer Innate?” Hua Jieyu glanced at Nangong Wu and gently shook her head.
“Could his strength be more than second-layer Innate?” Chen Miaoling asked in shock.
“It is impossible for him to be second-layer Innate. A second-layer Innate could not kill the Tianshan Twin Heroes so easily,” Hua Jieyu replied.
“What kind of person is this Young Master Feng? To have such a powerful expert by his side. No wonder he dares to sell Boxing King Tournament spots at Golden Buddha Temple. He truly has nothing to fear,” Chen Miaoling said.
“Chen Miaoling, this Young Master Feng has a mysterious background. You had better have less contact with him in the future,” Hua Jieyu said gravely.
At this moment, Hua Jieyu secretly felt fortunate that she had not attacked Li Feng earlier. Otherwise, she might already be dead by now.
“Hua Jieyu, since this Young Master Feng has such a mysterious background, do you not want to investigate him thoroughly?” Chen Miaoling asked.
“How can we investigate? If he wants to hide something, we will never find out,” Hua Jieyu said as she shook her head. No one wanted to investigate this Young Master Feng more than she did. It was not only because of his mysterious origins but also because Li Feng had actually broken through her charm technique.
For someone who cultivated charm techniques like her, if she did not fully understand those who could resist her charm, it might affect her future cultivation of the technique.
“This matter is not actually that difficult,” Chen Miaoling said.
“What do you mean?” Hua Jieyu asked.
“Hua Jieyu, do not forget about Leng Rubing,” Chen Miaoling said as she looked at Leng Rubing on the steps of the Great Hero Hall. A glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.
“Leng Rubing, you mean…” Hua Jieyu understood Chen Miaoling’s meaning, and her eyes lit up. Leng Rubing was now that Young Master Feng’s maidservant. Even if she did not know the details about him now, after spending enough time by his side, she should have learned something.
Then, thinking of something, Hua Jieyu frowned and said, “But would doing this harm Leng Rubing? Right now, Leng Rubing is that Young Master Feng’s maidservant. If he finds out she sold information about him, would he become furious and deal with her?”
“If Leng Rubing does not say anything and we do not say anything, how would that Young Master Feng know?” Chen Miaoling said nonchalantly.
Hua Jieyu thought about it and agreed.
Chen Miaoling said somewhat enviously, “Today this Young Master Feng has struck it rich. He got quite a lot from us sisters. Now he just needs to sell a few more spots, and he probably will not have to worry about cultivation resources for the next few years. If I had known earlier, I would have come to Tianhai City sooner, gotten a Boxing King Tournament invitation, and sold a few spots myself to try it out.”
“You?” Lu Shiping beside her shook her head and said, “Do you have the strength to kill the Tianshan Twin Heroes?”
Chen Miaoling shook her head.
“Although this Young Master Feng has reaped a huge harvest today, in my view he is walking a tightrope. One misstep and he will be smashed to pieces,” Lu Shiping said with a flash of disdain in her eyes.
“But he succeeded today,” Chen Miaoling said.
“Succeeded?” Lu Shiping gave a cold laugh and said, “Do you think killing the Tianshan Twin Heroes is enough to intimidate everyone? The real experts have not shown themselves yet. Moreover, I just received news that the Five Ghosts of Laoshan have arrived at Golden Buddha Temple.”
“The Five Ghosts of Laoshan? They really came?” Chen Miaoling’s expression changed, somewhat incredulous.
“That is right. They arrived when we were in the bamboo grove. We just do not know where they are hiding now. Do you think the Five Ghosts of Laoshan would willingly trade a Boxing King Tournament spot with that Young Master Feng?” Lu Shiping nodded and said.
Chen Miaoling’s face changed. “So that means this Young Master Feng’s crisis is not over yet?”
“No, it is only just beginning,” Lu Shiping said gravely as she looked at Li Feng walking out of the Great Hero Hall.
While Chen Miaoling and Lu Shiping were discussing the Five Ghosts of Laoshan, inside the canteen of Golden Buddha Temple, the Five Ghosts of Laoshan were also engaged in heated discussion.
“Big Brother, when exactly are we going to make our move? If we wait any longer, it might be too late,” the Fourth Ghost said somewhat impatiently.
“Yes, Big Brother, when are we going to act?” the Fifth Ghost also chimed in.
“Old Fourth, Old Fifth, do you think it is appropriate for us to act right now?” the Big Ghost asked.
“Big Brother, what do you mean? If we do not act now, when will we?” the Fourth Ghost asked in confusion.
“The Tianshan Twin Heroes were killed. You know their strength. Now even they have been killed. What do you think the strength of the person who killed them is?” the Big Ghost asked.
“At least second-layer Innate,” the Fourth Ghost replied.
“Correct, at least second-layer Innate,” the Big Ghost nodded. Looking at the Great Hero Hall in the distance, he said gravely, “If it is just an Innate expert, with our brothers’ combined attack technique, killing him would be easy. But what I am worried about is that this person might have third-layer Innate strength.”
“Third-layer Innate? Big Brother, so what if it is third-layer Innate? We brothers have killed third-layer Innate experts before. Under our combined attack technique, a third-layer Innate is also doomed,” the Fifth Ghost replied.
“We can deal with one third-layer Innate, but that Young Master Feng has two Innate experts by his side. One is injured and not worth worrying about, but the other one killed the Pursuing Life Heavenly King Xiang Kanghai. If they join forces, it will be quite troublesome,” the Big Ghost said.
“Then are we just going to wait here?” the Fifth Ghost said unwillingly.
“This time we did not expect so many experts to be around the person with the Boxing King Tournament spot. So when to act needs careful planning,” the Big Ghost said gravely.
“Careful planning? If we wait any longer, he might sell all the spots and leave. Then even if we want to act, we will not find him,” the Fourth Ghost said.
“Leave?” the Second Ghost gave a cold laugh and said, “Old Fourth, in front of us brothers, do you think they can leave? Moreover, the later we act, the greater the benefits.”
“What do you mean?” the Fourth Ghost asked.
“That Young Master Feng trades Boxing King Tournament spots using heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and rare strange items. The more he trades, the more treasures he must have on him,” the Second Ghost said with a glint in his eyes.
“What does that mean?” the Fifth Ghost asked in confusion.
“Idiot, as long as we kill that Young Master Feng, everything on him will be ours. Not only the Boxing King Tournament spots, but also all the heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and rare strange items he traded with others,” the Second Ghost said.
“Second Brother means that the more that Young Master Feng trades with others, the more we will get?” the Fifth Ghost finally understood.
“Idiot, you finally get it. Even if we act today, we should wait until that kid has finished trading with everyone. Then we can take everything he has. Even if we do not participate in the Boxing King Tournament, we can still return fully loaded,” the Second Ghost said.
“Second Brother is wise,” the Fifth Ghost said with admiration as he looked at the Second Ghost.
“Moreover, there is another benefit to acting later,” the Second Ghost said meaningfully.
“What other benefit?” the Fourth Ghost quickly asked.
“The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind. During this time, if anyone else tries to snatch the invitations from that Young Master Feng, we can let them wear down his subordinates’ strength. If no one dares to snatch them, that is fine too. That Young Master Feng will certainly not expect us to act after the trading of spots is finished. At that time, when his guard is down, we can launch a surprise attack and kill him in one strike,” the Second Ghost said with a glint in his eyes.
