Caidie was a chess piece that Blood Shadow had planted in secret. He had met her back in Sucheng. Although Caidie belonged to the assassin organisation Blood Sand, the Hongmen had cooperated with Blood Sand on multiple occasions, so he was naturally very familiar with them.
The person Caidie wanted to deal with was Li Feng, and the person he wanted to deal with was also Li Feng. Therefore, the two hit it off immediately.
However, when coming to Tianhai City, Caidie believed that to kill Li Feng required a single lethal strike, whereas Blood Shadow wanted first to kill the people around Li Feng, making Li Feng experience despair and fear beforehand. That was why, during the previous incident on Binhe Road, Blood Shadow, dissatisfied with Caidie, had not deployed her or her people and had only sent Wei Kang.
Yet the outcome of the Binhe Road incident was unbearable for Blood Shadow. Not only had a large number of his subordinates died, but even Wei Kang had perished.
Of course, Blood Shadow did not regret his decision. Making Li Feng feel despair and fear before death was not only his own choice, but also an order from Chen Junyi.
However, after witnessing Li Feng’s strength, Blood Shadow had become much more cautious. Therefore, this time, it was the moment to utilise the chess piece that was Caidie.
After calling and instructing Caidie to help investigate the matter, Blood Shadow fell into deep thought.
Although Caidie was from Blood Sand and now had quite a few assassins around her, their strength was not great. They could only deal with the subordinates around Li Feng. They were far from sufficient to handle Li Feng himself.
This time, he had come to China alone, with no experts by his side. His forces were far from enough to deal with Li Feng, unless he immediately broke through to the Xiantian realm. Yet even Blood Shadow could not be certain whether that special method would allow him to achieve the breakthrough.
“It seems that before making a move, I still need to find a few experts.” A sharp glint flashed in Blood Shadow’s eyes. He took out his phone and dialled Chen Junyi’s number.
“Blood Shadow, when will Li Feng die?” As soon as the call connected, Chen Junyi’s cold voice came through, his tone filled with deep dissatisfaction.
“Master, within the next few days. I will definitely take Li Feng’s head.” Blood Shadow said quickly.
“I hope you do not disappoint me. Otherwise, see how I deal with you.” Chen Junyi said coldly.
Cold sweat broke out on Blood Shadow upon hearing this.
He did not think Chen Junyi was joking. Let alone his current half-step Xiantian level, even if he were a Xiantian realm expert, Chen Junyi could deal with him effortlessly.
“Speak. Why are you calling me?” Chen Junyi asked coldly.
“Master, the Fengyuan Group has developed a maglev car.” Blood Shadow said promptly.
“A maglev car? You are saying someone has developed a maglev car?” Surprise was evident in Chen Junyi’s voice.
“Yes, Master.” Blood Shadow quickly explained the situation regarding the maglev car to Chen Junyi.
“This Fengyuan Group, whose is it? It sounds familiar.” Chen Junyi’s voice came through.
“Master, the Fengyuan Group belongs to Li Feng.” Blood Shadow said hurriedly.
“Li Feng.” Chen Junyi fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Do you think this news is reliable?”
“Master, unless Li Feng wants to slap his own face, this news is very likely true.” Blood Shadow paused before continuing, “Moreover, the Fengyuan Group had previously announced the Intelligent One, which shows that their research in the technology field is outstanding.”
“Then find a way to get hold of the materials on this maglev car. The maglev car must not appear in any other company.” Chen Junyi said coldly.
“Master, I suspect that the Li family is supporting the Fengyuan Group from behind. It is possible that the Fengyuan Group is protected by Li family experts.” Blood Shadow said hesitantly.
“Rest assured. I will send two people to assist you. They will arrive in two days.” Chen Junyi said gravely.
“Master, rest assured. In three days, I will obtain Li Feng’s head and the maglev car materials.” A smile curled at the corner of Blood Shadow’s mouth. The problem of experts was solved.
After hanging up, Blood Shadow thought over his plan once more, then sent several text messages from his phone. Immediately afterwards, he sneered, “Three days. Li Feng, in three days it will be your death.”

“Uncle Lei, Blood Shadow has been making big moves recently. Do you think he is preparing to act?” Situ Qiang put down the intelligence report in his hand and looked up at Situ Lei to ask.
“Yes, Young Master. Blood Shadow has been in Tianhai City for some time now. If he does not act soon, he will not be able to explain himself to Chen Junyi.” Situ Lei nodded and said.
“Then does that mean our plan can begin?” A sharp glint flashed in Situ Qiang’s eyes.
“Young Master, there is no rush for our plan. Before Blood Shadow dies, it is best if we remain motionless.” Situ Lei shook his head.
“Dies? Uncle Lei, do you think Blood Shadow will die?” Surprise flashed in Situ Qiang’s eyes as he asked incredulously, “Uncle Lei, do you think Li Feng might kill Blood Shadow? How is that possible?”
“Young Master, there is nothing impossible in this world. Moreover, Li Feng has the strength to kill Blood Shadow.” Situ Lei said gravely.
“Uncle Lei, Li Feng did kill Wei Kang, but with Li Feng’s strength, it should not be enough to kill Blood Shadow, right?” Situ Qiang thought for a moment and said.
“Li Feng himself may not be able to, but that does not mean the people around him cannot.” Situ Lei shook his head.
“The people around Li Feng?” Situ Qiang was stunned. Could the people around Li Feng kill Blood Shadow? Zhong Shuhui, Hu Yuanyuan, Tian Lang, none of them seemed to have that kind of strength.
“Young Master, do not forget that Li Feng is the eldest young master of the Li family.” Situ Lei said.
“The Li family? Uncle Lei, are you saying the Li family might have sent experts to protect Li Feng?” Situ Qiang reacted.
“Exactly.” Situ Lei nodded.
“But even if there are Li family experts protecting Li Feng, they still could not kill Blood Shadow, could they? I have heard that Blood Shadow is almost at the Xiantian realm. Unless the person the Li family has placed beside Li Feng is a Xiantian realm expert, but that is impossible. Li Feng is merely the eldest young master of the Li family. Are the Li family’s Xiantian realm experts so worthless that they would assign one to protect him?” Situ Qiang looked incredulous. He was a direct descendant of the Situ family, yet the Situ family had not assigned a Xiantian realm expert to protect him.
“Young Master, for anyone else it would be impossible, but for Li Feng it is entirely possible. Think about it, Young Master. Li Feng’s strength allows him to kill Wei Kang, a peak Houtian ninth-layer expert. This means Li Feng possesses Wei Kang’s level of power. So even if they sent a half-step Xiantian expert, what difference would protecting Li Feng make compared to not protecting him? Therefore, if the Li family wants to protect Li Feng, only a Xiantian realm expert can do so.” Situ Lei said gravely.
“This…” Situ Qiang was stunned, but after thinking it over, he felt Situ Lei was right. The only ones who could protect Li Feng for the Li family were Xiantian realm experts.
“Moreover, Young Master, Li Feng is a young Houtian ninth-layer ancient martial artist. This shows he has limitless potential and great talent. If such a person grows, he is bound to become a powerhouse of his generation. The Li family might even revive because of Li Feng. Therefore, the Li family will certainly place special importance on him. Sending a Xiantian realm expert to protect Li Feng is reasonable.” Situ Lei continued.
“In that case, Blood Shadow is doomed this time if he goes after Li Feng.” Situ Qiang’s expression darkened.
“One could say that. Blood Shadow has been preparing these days, and I believe Li Feng has been preparing too. Even if there were no Li family experts beside Li Feng before, these few days would be enough for him to mobilise them. Unless Blood Shadow has calculated all this, he is certain to die.” Situ Lei nodded, his admiration for his own eldest young master growing. To think of pulling Li Feng in as an ally. With Li Feng’s strength being so great, he could indeed contend with the Chen family. Once Blood Shadow died this time, Chen Junyi would lose an arm. Dealing with Chen Junyi in the future would become much easier.
“No.” Situ Qiang suddenly stood up.
“Young Master?” Situ Lei looked at Situ Qiang in confusion.
“Blood Shadow can die, but we absolutely cannot let Li Feng kill him easily.” Situ Qiang said gravely.
“Young Master, is it not good if Li Feng kills Blood Shadow? This benefits our family.” Situ Lei looked at Situ Qiang, puzzled.
“Uncle Lei, we absolutely cannot let Li Feng kill Blood Shadow so easily.” A cold glint flashed in Situ Qiang’s eyes as he said gravely, “It would be best if Li Feng and Blood Shadow both suffer heavy losses.”
“Both suffer heavy losses? Young Master, I do not understand what you mean.” Situ Lei was stunned.
“Uncle Lei, Li Feng is too strong.” Situ Qiang said gravely.
“Li Feng is indeed very strong, but what does that have to do with him and Blood Shadow both suffering losses?” Situ Lei asked, puzzled. He sensed that Situ Qiang’s emotions were fluctuating greatly.
“Uncle Lei, if Li Feng can easily kill Blood Shadow, do you think we can still cooperate with him?” Situ Qiang said gravely.
“Why not? Our cooperation with Li Feng is to deal with Chen Junyi. As long as Chen Junyi lives, we have the opportunity to cooperate with Li Feng.” Situ Lei replied.
“But at that point, Li Feng would no longer be under our control.” A cold light flashed in Situ Qiang’s eyes.
“Young Master, we are cooperating with Li Feng, not trying to control him.” Situ Lei looked at Situ Qiang in shock. “Moreover, with Li Feng’s strength, he absolutely cannot be controlled by anyone. Trying to control Li Feng is simply impossible. Young Master, you cannot be telling me that you want to control Li Feng. If you truly harbour such thoughts, I can only say you are indulging in wild fantasies.”
“Uncle Lei, you yourself said that nothing is impossible in this world. Although Li Feng is strong and is the eldest young master of the Li family, one of China’s eight top-tier families, so what? Does that mean Li Feng cannot be controlled? I think Li Feng is someone who can be controlled very well. I want to control him and turn him into our vanguard against Chen Junyi. But before that, we absolutely cannot let him kill Blood Shadow so easily.”
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Situ Qiang’s eyes. “Uncle Lei, I want you to find a way to pass the information that there may be Xiantian realm experts around Li Feng to Blood Shadow, so he can prepare early.”
