“Our Red Buddha Society’s been eyeing you for ages, heard you’ve cultivated some mysterious power, bring it to us now!”
“Otherwise, your master’s a goner!”
The voice snapped off the call with a click, then Xu Fei’s phone pinged with a new message.
He glanced at it, sure enough, the address for the abandoned Miyun Reservoir.
“Looks like this Red Buddha lot came prepared, they’re not even scared of giving away their spot!”
At this moment, Xu Fei found himself in a bit of a pickle.
These Red Buddha Society blokes had been getting cockier lately.
Not only had they clashed with Xu Fei before, they’d popped up last time during the tussle over the jade arhat.
This time, they’d gone so far as to nab his master outright, using it to strong-arm him.
Worst part? Xu Fei was falling for it!
He was a softie, not a hard case, if the Red Buddha crew had come demanding the Yang Force by brute force.
It’d end in a bloody mess, Xu Fei wouldn’t budge an inch.
But with his master as a hostage, things got tricky.
What really stumped Xu Fei was how the Red Buddha Society knew he’d cultivated the Yang Force?
“Odd, I’ve never let that slip, have I?”
Xu Fei rubbed his chin, pondering, only his master Mo Wentian should know about this.
As for Mo Wentian’s knack for keeping secrets, Xu Fei wouldn’t dream of doubting the old man.
Even just now on the call, Mo Wentian’s first instinct was to warn Xu Fei to steer clear and run.
Proof the master was solid, no way he’d sell Xu Fei out.
Before long, Hell’s Ear, fretting over the situation, rang Xu Fei up.
“Young Master Jun, did you get my last message? Your master’s not in bad shape, what’s our next move?”
Hell’s Ear was gearing up to volunteer, eager to tag along with Xu Fei.
But Xu Fei shut him down flat.
“No need, your drones are already out there, just use them to quietly keep my master safe, leave the rest to me!”
Though reluctant, Hell’s Ear saw Xu Fei’s stubborn streak and had no choice but to comply.
“Yes, Young Master!”
After hanging up, Xu Fei stepped out of the loo, headed upstairs, and grabbed one of the four jade arhats to take along.
This time, braced for it, the jade arhat didn’t feel as heavy.
Bringing it was a precaution.
After all, the Red Buddha crew had specifically named this as their prize.
With it on him, if things went south and he couldn’t save his master in time, he’d still have a bargaining chip.
Prep done, Xu Fei hopped into his Barton Warcar and floored it toward the abandoned Miyun Reservoir in the suburbs.
On the way, Hell’s Ear sent over a detailed rundown on the place.
