Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Uninvited Guest Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Uninvited Guest Two people entered Luohua Manor at night, both dressed in black.
When the alarm went off, they were unaware. Li Shishi, who was staying up late watching dramas, was startled and hastily called out on the intercom, and she made it clear, “…seems like there are two figures.”
The quickest to respond was Gao Qiang, who in the feathery rain and snow, imdiately turned on over a dozen floodlights set up around the periter.
The rainy and snowy weather still caused so impairnt to visibility, making the two figures look a bit elusive.
The two figures were greatly alard and turned to run.
It just so happened that soone was up late in the simple workshop, and seeing the valley flooded with light and figures fleeing in disarray, grabbed a shovel on impulse and confronted them, shouting loudly, “Where do you think you’re going, thieves!”
Generally, people working away from ho would not bravely fight against villains—what do I care if you’re stealing the boss’s stuff?
It’s better to preserve oneself, honestly earn money, and provide for one’s family—that’s the right path.
But the experiences of the two gate guards of varying heights had already inford everyone of what kind of person President Feng was.
As long as you help President Feng protect his property, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll receive a generous reward.
The two black-clad n originally didn’t plan to confront him, but this fellow not only ca charging at them, he was also shouting loudly.
This might awaken more people.
So, one of the black-clad n charged at him.
The worker, afraid to harm soone with the shovel, didn’t use a hacking or chopping motion, but a flat strike. Still, the force behind it was not small, given he was used to physical labor.
But the black-clad man directly blocked the shovel handle with his forearm, raised his hand with a seemingly light palm strike, and sent the man flying.
Just then, a light hum sounded, and in the pitch-black sky, a bolt of lightning sprang up, striking the black-clad man who had just made a move.
“It really is you!” The other black-clad man, scared out of his wits, spun around and rushed back towards the valley.
At this ti, it was better for the two to split up.
Feng Jun didn’t care about the one running towards the valley; that direction was covered by the dense and confusing array.
Ever since the array was established, it hadn’t trapped anyone yet. Having soone willingly beco a test subject was rather nice.
The man struck by lightning was also very sturdy; he staggered for a mont then continued to sprint with hardly any reduction in speed.
Feng Jun didn’t strike again but simply followed him in the air, silently keeping track.
The strike just now was to back up the worker—those who exert effort for the Manor, I will not let you suffer in vain.
But to catch or kill soone on the spot could potentially lead to a police investigation.
While Luohua Manor’s mysteriousness may surpass that of Maoshan, how long has Maoshan been established? Thousands of years! Compared to Maoshan, Luohua Manor’s foundation is far too shallow. Maoshan can brazenly capture people for interrogation, even make the Blood Jiao King “commit suicide,” but Luohua Manor doesn’t have the depth of history or influence to do that.
Feng Jun followed this fellow until he ran out of Luohua Manor.
He too was a martial master; despite being struck by the Falling Thunder Technique, he hadn’t slowed down much, even after several kiloters.
He didn’t exit through the main gate but arrived at a wall and leaped down, continuing his mad dash upon landing.
Feng Jun, hovering fifty to sixty ters above his head, kept following. This area was still too close to the Manor, so caras could capture it.
The man ran for nearly a kiloter across the fields and dove into a grove before taking out a mobile phone from his bosom.
However, no matter how much he pressed the buttons, the phone screen wouldn’t light up, and he couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “Damn, a single bolt of thunder busted it?”
Just then, a light chuckle ca from above his head, “Next life, rember to buy a lightning-proof phone.”
“Who?” The black-clad man couldn’t help but shout in astonishnt, looking up in shock.
Then, he saw a terrifying sight: a figure was floating in the air above him, more than three ters off the ground.
There was no sky light on a rainy, snowy night, but this was still the outskirts of Zhengyang, and the light from distant street lamps scattered through the rainy weather, making it not too dark, even within the grove.
He could even make out that the person floating in the air was Feng Jun, the owner of Luohua Manor.
He was sure that there was nothing like tree branches under Feng Jun’s feet, he was just suspended like that.
He wanted to turn and keep running, but his legs were unbearably weak, and he just couldn’t muster the strength. A voice echoed in his heart: You can’t outrun him, you can’t outrun him…
Then, he thought of a terrifying phrase, and couldn’t help but feel his legs go weak. He dropped into the mud, howling loudly, “Senior Feng, I realize my mistake, I shouldn’t have been bewitched to trespass your property at night… But surely, this doesn’t warrant death?”
The other party had told him to “buy a lightning-proof mobile phone in his next life.” Did the hidden ssage in those words even need to be repeated?
“Hehe,” Feng Jun remained floating in the air, laughing nonchalantly, “I didn’t lay a hand on you at Luohua Manor because there are too many caras there, not to ntion the workers… Actually, if you had managed to flee along the main road into the village, it would’ve given a headache.”
The man in black felt a chill in his heart, realizing the firmness of the other’s resolution to kill him.
Not to ntion anything else, just this astounding ability to hover mid-air – if he wasn’t already seen as a dead man, would such a power be displayed so openly?
But could it be that the other party wanted to extort sothing from him?
No matter what, not escaping via the main road might have been a mistake, but the actions he took today ant he was never destined to escape that way. Now he only wished he had arranged for so people to et him near Luohua Manor.
But was that sort of thing OK to spread around? Could he have arranged a nearby eting point?
“Wait, Senior Feng,” he steeled his heart and spoke solemnly, “I am not just a cultivator, but I also have a special identity, working for the nation… I have a chip implanted in my body.”
“I don’t care whose business you’re doing,” Feng Jun lifted a hand and a gust of wind immobilized the man’s form, then, from an angle unseen by the man, he took out his mobile phone and swiped it a few tis.
After putting away his mobile phone, he walked up to the man and with a hand like a knife, he sliced open the man’s clothes and skin, extracting a small chip from the muscle below the right chest area, then smiled faintly, “Is this what you’re referring to?”
The man in black’s face paled drastically, “How… How did you know?”
“Once it’s in a Storage Bag, can it still transmit its location?” Feng Jun chuckled lightly, flipping his wrist, and the tiny chip disappeared from sight.
He wouldn’t carelessly discard the chip, regardless of whether the man was truly working for the nation or not. If the abandoned chip were discovered, it would indicate that the man in black had been exposed and his tactics revealed.
So, it’s better to make him disappear permanently, and then completely destroy the chip in the mobile phone dinsion, ensuring that tonight’s incident beca an unsolvable mystery.
In fact, he didn’t believe that this person was a formal agent; he was probably just an informant at best, a temporary hire at most.
With his face covered by a mask, the man in black showed an expression of pure despair upon witnessing Feng Jun’s techniques, “Senior Feng, you still have a bright future, your parents are alive, and you have Boss Gu backing you up. Why bother making life difficult for yourself over a minor figure like ?”
“Whether I’m comfortable or not isn’t for you to decide,” Feng Jun laughed lightly, then his expression suddenly turned stern, his voice becoming colder, “I don’t care what your identity is. Not only did you trespass into my ho, but you also injured soone. How could I possibly let you go?”
The man in black laughed as well, a laugh full of helplessness, “Alright, we’ve been too presumptuous for too long. I’m not surprised by this outco… Can you make it quick for ?”
“I’m afraid not,” Feng Jun shook his head slowly, then took out a cigarette and lit it up, “You still need to explain your purpose and other details clearly. If you can do so without any trickery, I might consider giving you a quick end.”
The man laughed coldly and then tilted his head in defiance. Unfortunately, he had been immobilized by a pressure point attack, limiting the movent of his neck, rendering his defiance rather comical, “Do you think I would talk?”
“Hmm, I think you will,” Feng Jun nodded, speaking with certainty, and then took another puff of his cigarette.
Smoking in the wild on a night mixed with rain and snow was not a particularly enjoyable experience, but it was better than nothing.
While exhaling clouds of smoke, he spoke, “Lao Qian, you were born in the Mianzhou area of the Shu Region; your family must still have parents, spouse, children, and so on… You wouldn’t want to drag them into this, would you?”
“You… truly are a devil!” The man in black shouted out loud.
He didn’t know how the other party had learned his true identity, but these threatening words filled him with rage, “Since ancient tis… misfortunes should not extend to wives and children!”
“Pah, you’ve got so nerve saying that!” Feng Jun spat disgustedly, scoffing, “Just now, who was it that brought up my parents? Bloody hell… You surnad Qian can start fires, but Feng can’t light a lamp?”
“You’re a grown man; is it that hard to maintain so dignity?”
The man in black was montarily at a loss for words and then spoke up after a long silence, “Fine, I’ll tell you everything I can. If you’re a real man, don’t trouble my family.”
On the surface, he was a Taoist from Qingcheng Sect, with Mount Qingcheng hosting one of the ten great Cave Heavens – the Qingcheng Cave Mansion, known as “The Sky of the Nine Immortal Chambers.” However, those who practiced the Cultivation Path in Qingcheng were not limited to just the Qingcheng Sect mbers.
Lao Qian followed the Qingcheng’s system of cultivation, but he had no affiliation with the actual Qingcheng Sect. He was quite well-known in the region around Mount Qingcheng.
This ti with the re-opening of the Juqu Curve Cave Mansion at Maoshan, Qingcheng didn’t pay much attention, sending only an Executor to observe. The outco, however, surprised everyone in Qingcheng, leaving them flabbergasted.
Qingcheng was shocked, and many nearby cultivators heard about it too, leading to questions on why Maoshan deserved such prestige.
The most important thing was the deep connection between Qingcheng Sect and Dragon Phoenix Mountain Zhang Tianshi.
After a detailed investigation by the Qingcheng Sect, they found that Maoshan’s revival was closely related to Zhengyang’s Luohua Manor.
Lao Qian had benefited from the Qingcheng Sect; with a high cultivation level, he was a Patron of the Qingcheng Sect. This ti, he and another skilled expert invited by the Qingcheng Sect secretly infiltrated Luohua Manor to explore the truth.
Neither of them had attended the re-opening ceremony of the Juqu Curve Cave Mansion, and without a firsthand impression of the formidable Luohua Manor, they assud a re secular manor couldn’t possess that much capability.
How shafully Maoshan resorted to using such a manor to intimidate others – it was unfathomable how they dared to re-open the Jintan Huayang Celestial Part.
