Chapter 1430: Competition, Freaks!
“Young master, the Eleventh Prince really went all out this time.”
After the Eleventh Prince left, a middle-aged guard said to Chixiao with a smile.
“Indeed, his eyes just now looked like he wanted to eat someone.”
“Tsk tsk, one billion second-grade Yuan Stones, the Eleventh Prince is truly not lacking in wealth.”
Other guards also started discussing, their words filled with disdain and ridicule for the Eleventh Prince.
Chixiao gave a faint smile and instructed, “Steward Du, take the injured down, instruct the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and go buy some good wine. Let’s have a good celebration tonight.”
“Yes!”
The middle-aged guard acknowledged with a fist salute and immediately ordered the injured to be taken down for treatment, getting everyone busy.
“Luo Feng, let’s go inside.”
Chixiao led Luo Feng and the others into a garden in the inner courtyard.
The garden was full of blossoming flowers, and there was a pond reflecting the gradually rising bright moon in the blue sky, gently rippling on the water surface. By the water stood a pavilion with dragon carvings on the eaves.
Sitting down in sequence in the pavilion, Luo Feng said to Chixiao, “Chixiao, about what happened just now, thank you.”
If not for Chixiao’s timely appearance, he, Xuelian, and Yue Haitang would likely have been unable to resist the City Lord of Cloud Brocade City.
Chixiao shook his head, playing with the storage ring and jade box left by the Eleventh Prince, smiling, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have received such a generous gift.”
While speaking, Chixiao pushed the jade box in front of Luo Feng, “This is for you.”
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng curiously asked, “For me?”
From Chixiao’s previous words, Luo Feng already understood the value of the Yin Yang Nine Orifice Pill; merely being able to help a True Yuan Realm ninth-level Martial Artist break through to the Yuan Sea Realm was already extraordinary.
Chixiao said, “Did you forget, I’ve already broken through to the Yuan Sea Realm, this Yin Yang Nine Orifice Pill is more useful to you than to me, I’m just putting it to good use. Although the marriage between you and Chi Wei didn’t come to fruition, you saved Chi Wei’s life, and I’ve always regarded you as one of my own, no need for formalities.”
“Alright, then I’ll accept it.”
Luo Feng politely took the Yin Yang Nine Orifice Pill.
Chixiao was a good person, worth befriending, and this Yin Yang Nine Orifice Pill would indeed be beneficial to him, helping him face fewer obstacles in breaking through to the Yuan Sea Realm in the future.
Chixiao smiled, suddenly asking, “Did you return to Cloud Brocade City alone?”
Luo Feng nodded, “When the senior was guiding my cultivation, I encountered the Seven Kill Demon King from the Blood Demon Sect, so I left first.”
The Tiger King had instructed him not to mention the matter of apprenticeship, so he naturally wouldn’t bring it up.
“Seven Kill Demon King!”
As soon as Luo Feng spoke, not only Chixiao, but everyone present had a change of expression. They didn’t know that Luo Feng had also taken a blow from the Seven Kill Demon King, otherwise, they might have been even more shocked.
“What happened?” Chixiao asked.
Luo Feng shook his head, “I don’t know either, I only heard the senior mention that the Seven Kill Demon King’s appearance might be related to the celestial phenomenon at the Puppet Sect ruins.”
“Even the people from the Demon Sect know about this, I didn’t expect the Seven Kill Demon King would come personally. The phenomena at the Puppet Sect ruins are indeed not simple…”
Chixiao’s expression turned serious, he pondered for a moment, then looked at Luo Feng in surprise, “Luo Feng, you call him senior, do you not know the identity of that Wild tribe member?”
Jiang Fengfeng and the others also curiously looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng nodded, “I don’t know, he didn’t tell me, only said that I’d naturally find out one day. Do you know his identity?”
Chixiao and Su Zhuyun exchanged glances, Chixiao shook his head, “I don’t know either.”
Since the Tiger King didn’t reveal it, Chixiao naturally wouldn’t overstep. Moreover, Chixiao somewhat understood the Tiger King’s rationale.
As one of the four major Beast Kings in the Southern Forest and a prominent Sealing King expert in the five domains, the Tiger King’s identity was extraordinarily remarkable. Should the truth be revealed, Luo Feng’s mental state might change, impacting his future cultivation.
“Luo Feng, I lost narrowly in our last competition. The moonlight is nice tonight, how about we have another go?” Jiang Fengfeng suddenly stood up with her sword, looking eagerly at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng touched his nose, “I’m up for a spar, but…”
Jiang Fengfeng caught the implication in Luo Feng’s words, pouting her lips, made a cold humph through her exquisite nose, with an expression of confidence:
“During your absence, I’ve been in closed-door training and reached the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm three days ago. It won’t be as easy for you to beat me this time.”
Xuelian sat nearby, softly smiling without speaking.
“Congratulations.” Luo Feng smiled faintly. He had long noticed Jiang Fengfeng’s breakthrough to the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, besides, Su Zhuyun’s aura had also strengthened significantly, having reached the late stage of the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm.
“Luo Feng, what’s your current level?”
Su Zhuyun asked rarely, although it had only been ten days, since the opponent was a Sealing King powerhouse, she was curious to know what level Luo Feng’s strength had reached after this period of cultivation.
Everyone else’s attention turned to him.
Luo Feng didn’t intend to hide anything, he took a deep breath, extended his palm, and circulated his True Yuan.
Instantly, a violent wave of True Yuan emanated from his body, gathering into a glass-like orb in the center of his palm, exuding an incredibly powerful explosive force.
“Mid-sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, such a strong wave of True Yuan…”
Su Zhuyun took a deep breath, with a hint of amazement in her pretty eyes, Luo Feng’s cultivation had undoubtedly reached the mid-sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, the most astonishing thing was his True Yuan was incredibly thick, far surpassing ordinary mid-sixth level True Yuan Realm Martial Artists, even unknown how he’d compare against a peak-sixth level True Yuan Realm practitioner.
Even Chixiao, at this moment, was in disbelief.
He realized he still somewhat underestimated Luo Feng’s potential, but on second thought, felt it was to be expected. After all, Luo Feng was someone chosen by the Tiger King, one of the four major Beast Kings, if his aptitude were ordinary, that would be strange.
Xuelian, looking at the stunned Jiang Fengfeng, slightly raised the corners of her lips, “Jiang Fengfeng, weren’t you going to spar with the master? Let’s start it then.”
“Forget it, who wants to spar with him!”
Jiang Fengfeng came to her senses, her pretty face full of frustration as she sat down, with a sullen expression, muttering in a low voice, “Pervert, monster…”
Su Zhuyun and the others smiled wryly, but inwardly agreed with Jiang Fengfeng’s assessment.
Chixiao took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said:
“Everyone, have a good rest tonight, tomorrow we’ll set off from Cloud Brocade City.”
“Tomorrow?” Su Zhuyun glanced at Chixiao, “Is it related to the Seven Kill Demon King?”
Chixiao nodded, “I’m heading to the Puppet Sect ruins, with the Demon Sect experts having received word, other forces won’t likely turn a blind eye either. I want to get there quickly to see what’s happened, to prevent any unforeseen incidents.”
The Puppet Sect ruins again…
Luo Feng’s thoughts stirred.
