Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Wealth Moves People Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Wealth Moves People Feng Jun did not know whether the other party had killed anyone; “nearby people” could only detect the living nearby and not the dead.
And his infrared telescope could only find the living, as dead bodies are cold, devoid of any infrared radiation.
However, he did not mind shouting out loud, while simultaneously revealing his identity!
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng’s face darkened—Feng Jun was not wrong; they had indeed killed soone.
This household originally had five mbers. When the head of the family learned that an Immortal was at their doorstep, he joyfully exclaid, “Immortal, welco!”
But he had forgotten what the Immortal had just said—”Do not spread the word.”
Therefore, the man who welcod the Immortal was killed with one palm strike, and his wife, who couldn’t contain her screams, was also killed.
Liu Feng didn’t care about killing two mortals, nor did he mind being called out for it, but the identity claid by the other person ignited his killing intent!
He had been ninety-nine percent certain that the person was probably Feng Jun’s counterpart, but now that he had claid the na of the “Tiantong Comrcial Alliance,” his identity was confird beyond doubt.
Why were their five people sneaking into a farr’s house so cautiously if not to avoid alarming Feng Jun?
The Tiantong Comrcial Alliance was formidable, but on such a critical mont, Liu Feng could no longer afford to consider that—what they were scheming against was an ascetic from Tianxin Platform who had issued the Talented Scholars Plaque and moreover… this was the Mortal Realm.
Either of these two charges was not sothing he could take on, so he snorted coldly, “How dare you impersonate soone from the Tiantong Comrce Alliance, take him down, alive or dead!”
He did not make a move himself, first because he really couldn’t afford the loss of face, and second because he couldn’t be sure whether Feng Jun had arrived and was observing from the shadows.
If the opponent was indeed lying in wait, then if Liu Feng made a move against soone at the Qi Refinent Realm, Feng Jun could justifiably attack him without any responsibility—being accused of bullying the weak would be a far greater cri than unlawful killing of mortals.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Sword Cultivator already halted his charge.
This ti he had learned his lesson and did not pursue with his flying sword. Instead, he rushed towards Feng Jun with his longsword, moving at an astonishing speed.
anwhile, the other two Qi Refinent cultivators had also nearly caught up.
Feng Jun’s body swayed, and suddenly two of the three assailants who surrounded him disappeared—one being that Sword Cultivator.
Another one was shocked, and before he could switch tactics, a rope lasso severely bound him.
Liu Feng narrowed his eyes and sinisterly inquired, “A formation?”
Feng Jun had directly lured those two into a formation. As for the remaining one, first he was bound by the Ruthless Rope, then Feng Jun raised his hand, drew the man towards him, shook his left arm, and threw him into the Illusion Array as well.
The grade of this Illusion Array wasn’t high, but it was sowhat more advanced than the one Feng Jun had at Danxia Heaven, which he had analyzed and deciphered himself. This one, purchased from Fang Market, claid to be capable of trapping soone at the Qi Refinent Realm for three days.
The moonlight, soft like water, made Feng Jun’s expression clearly visible even in the dead of night. He appeared completely bewildered, “What… What’s going on?”
“What’s going on?” Liu Feng laughed out of anger, “If I am not mistaken, you are Feng Jun, right?”
He would truly be a faker of an interdiate level ascetic if he couldn’t figure it out by now.
Feng Jun blinked, still looking utterly puzzled, “Who is Feng Jun… is this person very powerful?”
Liu Feng’s face darkened as he spoke coldly, “It’s quite uninteresting for you to put on such an act. Frankly speaking, if it weren’t for the sake of Tianxin Platform, dealing with you wouldn’t be much more difficult than crushing an ant.”
“Heh,” Feng Jun scoffed disdainfully, “Who can’t boast? If you’re capable, then take action.”
Liu Feng ignored his words altogether and spoke to himself, “If you voluntarily hand over the four Pill Formulas of the Insight Pill, we can let this matter go. You are just a Loose Cultivator… My offer is very sincere.”
“Sincere?” Feng Jun sneered, “The Pill Formula is just the first step, am I right? After obtaining the formula, you will start to demand other things; it’s rely a probe of my limits… Say, can you co up with sothing new?”
Liu Feng had no desire to accept such an accusation and retorted coldly, “So intelligence is called wisdom; other tis, it is nothing but arrogance, only inviting mockery… I hope you’ll cooperate, as more than one Clan has set their sights on you.”
Feng Jun observed him for a while, then slightly smiled, “I am truly curious, who gave you such confidence that you can rob with such self-righteousness… What if I don’t agree? Would you really disregard Tianxin Platform?”
“No one disregards Tianxin Platform,” Liu Feng responded nonchalantly.
A sly smile curled the corner of his mouth, “But you should know, many covet this formula, and should anything unfortunate happen near Mount Zhige in the future… not targeting you but soone else, then it would be regrettable indeed.”
In this realm, actually, the practice of taking hostages isn’t popular; everyone is used to life and death situations, and using insignificant ants as threats really doesn’t hold much weight.
However, at the sa ti, because of the importance placed on the preservation of cultivation heritage, once a more significant hostage is taken, a lot can be up for negotiation.
Feng Jun values Mount Zhige highly, a fact well-known to everyone, so targeting this could very well provide a breakthrough.
Since they dare not provoke Tianxin Platform or move against Feng Jun, finding his other weaknesses is still a possibility.
That’s right, the ones who are feared are one of the Wutai, or to be more precise, Master Ji Buseng, and nobody really thinks that Feng Jun is untouchable. Anyway, we won’t touch you, only those around you, and we don’t believe you can direct Tianxin Platform to step in for them.
That’s right, the “Talented Scholars Plaque” is only an acknowledgnt and protection for a single person, not a “Nanny Plaque” that will unconditionally protect others.
He wasn’t afraid to speak the truth, nor was he worried that Tianxin Platform would be upset because of it. As for Feng Jun getting mad? It would be better if he got mad…
But Feng Jun understood his ntality very clearly—after all, he was soone who didn’t care about hostages.
His dislike for the so-called Holy Mothers was deeply rooted; he never believed that the safety of others should outweigh his own, not even if his parents were threatened—it was no exception. If you don’t even treasure yourself, then why bother treasuring soone else?
So Feng Jun just smiled faintly, “Then you just go ahead and target them as you please. Although I don’t like you, this is the Mortal Realm, and I can’t do anything to you here. But… we will et again in the Cultivation World soday.”
Liu Feng laughed heartily, feeling that he had probed so of the other party’s mindset—when it ca to those mortals, this fellow did care, but to what extent that concern went was up for debate.
Thus, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of self-satisfaction as he said, “Want to make a move against ? You can directly strike.”
“Do you think it’s worth my ti?” Feng Jun looked at him with disdain, “Aren’t you just Liu Feng from Pine Cypress Peak? You want to act tough with —do you believe I’d ruin your entire family?”
The term “act tough” wasn’t present in the mobile phone realm, but this didn’t hinder everyone’s understanding of its aning.
Liu Feng was imdiately stunned. This ti he was stunned for a full ten seconds before he swallowed hard and struggled to speak, “Who told you about my situation?”
“Heh,” Feng Jun looked at him with scorn, “Want to know who told ? Haha, I just won’t say… if you have the guts, co and hit .”
Both n actually couldn’t wait to make a move, but the Cultivation World had very strict controls in this regard. It was crucial to be clear about who initiated a fight amongst cultivators at the Ergence Stage.
Liu Feng seed startled but quickly ca to terms with the reality, then asked with a darkened face, “What about these people of mine?”
“What about them?” Feng Jun sneered, “Serve them chilled. I’m going to call soone from Tiantong right now… To think you were contemplating murder to silence them, you’ve really got so nerve!”
Liu Feng imdiately panicked. When he thought the other party was from Tiantong, he indeed had the intent to murder to keep things quiet, which didn’t need to be explained—it was genuinely what he thought—after all, it would have been the wisest choice.
But now, he definitely couldn’t admit to it. Having already butted heads with Feng Jun, choosing to oppose Tiantong as well would be akin to courting death, wouldn’t it?
Not to ntion, his weaknesses had been laid bare by the opponent. Cultivators causing trouble outside often did so, but generally, when committing wrongdoing, they would consider eliminating any trouble that could follow them ho—such consequences would be too severe.
Liu Feng dared to track Feng Jun because he had considered the consequences, so he hid his identity information extrely well—one should take responsibility for their actions, and if the risk didn’t pay off, at worst he’d pay with his life.
But the problem now was that Feng Jun knew about him, and if he didn’t silence this man, Tiantong would find out too.
Up until now, he still wasn’t much afraid of Feng Jun, but Tiantong… that was a different story.
The interests involved behind Tiantong were enormous, and while sons of Golden Core Families like Huang Fu Flawless might mix into roles like the chairperson of the Donghua Eastern Branch, when it cos down to it, didn’t the shareholders behind Tiantong include at least a dozen Golden Cores?
Currently, the three shopkeepers of Tiantong were also Golden Cores; however, it was rumored… that Tiantong Comrce Alliance had Nascent Soul Patrons seated within.
Strictly speaking, even the Nascent Soul Patrons were not that remarkable—Tiantong was able to do business across realms, and rumor had it that Tiantong’s real top boss was of the Ergence Stage…
To speak frankly, Liu Feng would rather have Tianxin Platform watching him than to have caught the attention of Tiantong’s upper echelon.
At this mont, he felt he had no choice but to give a dark smile, “You’ve forced my hand!”
Then, with a wave of his hand, the air around suddenly beca desolate, taking on a viscous feel.
This was the prelude to him making a move, aiming to force the other party to react. If his opponent didn’t act, then he would have the opportunity to build up montum.
In the end, although he spoke venomously and the other party had seen through his facade, if given a choice, he still hoped the other party would strike first.
The Cultivation World still recognized right and wrong, especially when the power difference between the two parties wasn’t significant.
Feng Jun, however, simply sneered coldly, his body suddenly retreating as he raised his hand to send up… a Warning Firework!
