Lin Feng patted his shoulder and then returned to the house. Xu Leiting had co to find him, and although Lin Feng did not know the other party’s true purpose, his guess was probably not far off. The Thunder God, the number one organization of the Fifth Generation Disciple, was created by the people from his Thunder Mountain Villa. This also gave Yu Wen Tuo a direct target to aim at, which is why the most elite combat forces among the Iron Sword faction had all gone to confront the Thunder God.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This Xu Leiting is likely looking to form strategic alliances by wooing . Perhaps they see my potential, but I think, more than that, they want to draw fire? Once the majority of the fire is redirected at again, the Thunder God can pull a ’cross the river and demolish the bridge’ tactic and directly kick out of the Thunder God. By then, my demise will be more miserable than anyone else’s."
Lin Feng sipped his tea, a strange smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. He was not at all acquainted with Xu Leiting, so there really wasn’t any need for the latter to woo him. Furthermore, if they recruited Lin Feng, it would be like giving Yu Wen Tuo’s forces a chance to tighten their battle lines and concentrate all their efforts against the Thunder God. At the mont, at least Lin Feng could help distract so of their manpower.
As for the possibility of being recruited based on his not-inconsiderable strength, that was indeed possible, but not very likely. What Lin Feng had shown so far was rely the strength of a Martial Master Fourth Layer, and at most, he could reach the peak of the Fifth Layer. Yet, in the minor conflicts between Thunder God and Iron Sword, there were always those at the Sixth Layer or even the Seventh Layer. Adding one Lin Feng would make no substantial difference and certainly wouldn’t instantly turn the tide of battle.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before two Fifth Generation Disciples from the Thunder God organization ca looking for Lin Feng after hearing of his return.
One of the long-faced young n sized up Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, I believe you’re a smart person, so I’ll speak plainly. I am very aware of your grudge with Yu Wen Tuo, and our Thunder Mountain Villa has been the target of his covetousness for years. But because our Young Master has a good private relationship with the Eldest Prince, Yu Wen Tuo doesn’t dare to strike directly at Thunder Mountain Villa. However, here in the Divine Wind Camp, we the Thunder God have beco his direct target. Let be honest with you, among the Fifth Generation Disciples, over eighty percent of the organizations have already pledged allegiance to Yu Wen Tuo. Of the top three, only we, the Thunder God, are left. Iron Sword, which targeted you, ranks third in strength among the Fifth Generation Disciples. This ti, I am here to hope you would join the Thunder God."
"Lin Feng, if you join the Thunder God, the Iron Sword wouldn’t dare to confront you so blatantly," added the other person, though his words carried a hint of condescension, as if Lin Feng should be moved to bow down and pay homage to them at that mont.
"As the largest organization among the Fifth Generation Disciples, we usually only recruit elites. For a Sixth Generation Disciple like you to be able to join us, it’s definitely a special admission. This is because our Young Master Xu sees sothing in you and holds you in high regard. What do you think, how about giving it so thought?"
After saying their piece, the two were not in a hurry and waited there for Lin Feng’s response, believing that Lin Feng would definitely agree right away.
However, Lin Feng simply took a sip of his tea and said, "Thanks, but I’ve always been accustod to being on my own. I do not wish to join any large organizations to seek shelter. As for the matter with Yu Wen Tuo, that’s not sothing you need to concern yourselves with."
"What? Lin Feng, am I hearing you right? Are you rejecting our offer?" The two Fifth Generation Disciples were taken aback and found it unbelievable.
"Lin Feng, are you still half-asleep or what? We the Thunder God are offering you sanctuary, and you do not treasure it? Don’t you know that with your current strength, going up against Iron Sword is like hitting a rock with an egg—just you against everyone else. Do you really think you can eliminate them all, like Wang Shan did to Hua Hu and the others? Lin Feng, you shouldn’t be so arrogant. What you should do now is accept the kindness we’re offering and join the Thunder God," said the other, frowning.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng chuckled. This invitation felt more like an imposition as if him not joining would be a slight, almost like courting death.
"I’ve made myself very clear. I don’t wish to repeat myself. You two have had your tea, so please leave. I’ve got cultivation to do," Lin Feng said indifferently.
"Fine! Lin Feng, if that’s how it is, don’t bla us for not giving you a final chance. I hope in the future, we won’t hear the news of your disappearance!"
The two Fifth Generation Disciples of the Thunder God snorted coldly, "Ungrateful fool, too proud to face reality!" They left in a huff.
Lin Feng remained calm. He had no intention of being used as cannon fodder or being sold out and still counting the money for others.
"The people from Iron Sword are indeed a troubleso matter, but it doesn’t matter now. The Thunder God, on the other hand, have done a bit of a favor. They at least helped tie up so folks that I currently can’t handle. As for those who block my door, the strongest among them is at most a Great Martial Master Fifth Layer. Since that’s the case, I’m in need of rits right now, so it’s about ti I struck them first," Lin Feng said, sitting in his house with a sharp gleam in his eyes.
...
"What? Lin Feng rejected the offer?"
In the conference hall of Thunder God.
Xu Leigang appeared sowhat surprised, sitting beside him was Xu Leiting.
"Yes, boss, you have no idea. That kid is just so stubborn, totally unyielding, like he’s completely resolved to court death."
Upon hearing this, Xu Leigang was sowhat taken aback; he had been considering bringing Lin Feng over to beco cannon fodder, a decoy to attract fire, but the man had refused.
"Could he have seen through our plot?"
Xu Leigang shook his head, dismissing the thought as unlikely; though his strategy wasn’t sophisticated, it was particularly tempting. Anyone in such a situation would normally choose to join an organization for protection, as it aligns with the basic instinct for survival.
Could it be that Lin Feng still has the confidence to continue contending with Iron Sword?
As the boss of Thunder God, Xu Leigang truly couldn’t understand.
"Let it be. Lin Feng is just a minor character; let’s ignore him for now. I expect in a few days, after he’s been taught a lesson by Iron Sword, he will co running to us, crying and begging for our help."
...
"Lin Feng, what did that group of people want with you just now?"
Wang Shan asked curiously.
Lin Feng shook his head: "It’s nothing. By the way, has anyone been causing trouble for you recently?"
Wang Shan laughed: "Thanks to you, nobody dares to ss with now."
"Right, are you going out again?"
"Yeah, going out to settle so minor issues."
Lin Feng patted his shoulder before heading down the mountain.
The base of Iron Sword.
The ten people who had previously gambled on Lin Feng remained behind here.
"Have you heard? It seems like Lin Feng has co out of the Refining Fire Room?"
"Finally out, I thought he’d hide in there for life!"
"If that’s the case, we must play him to death properly when the ti cos. Brothers, one by one in life and death fights, slowly torture him to death, let him know what happens to anyone who opposes us!!"
