45: Chapter 32, Hatred Mountain Corpse Toucher!

“Look, what did I just say?” the old man pointed at Little Fatty, boasting proudly.

“You got lucky with your guess,” Tang Fei said unconvinced.

“Lucky?

Try making a lucky guess for me to see.

I’ll tell you, these eyes of mine are like Sun Wukong’s Eyes of Golden Flame.

I can see the essence through the appearance.” The old man patted Little Fatty’s shoulder and said, “Don’t be fooled by his simple appearance; he’s not stupid at all.

Little Fatty, did you deliberately throw the hammer away?”

Little Fatty nodded and said with embarrassment, “I was too tired, I felt like I couldn’t even lift the hammer, and I knew I would definitely lose if we kept fighting like this…”

“Just thought of exposing a weakness to see if I could find a chance for a fatal strike.

I’ve seen big brother fight like this…”

Tang Fei patted Little Fatty’s head and then wiped off a handful of sweat.

Little Fatty had exerted so much effort that his hair was soaked with sweat, sticky and wet.

Tang Fei wiped his hands on his clothes with some disgust and said, “Well done.

What do I always tell you?

In a fight to the death, it’s either you die or I find a way to make you die…”

“To stay alive, there’s nothing you can’t do.

Only the victor can accept the praise of others.

If you were the one lying on the ground…

would high morals have any meaning to you?”

“Alright, I’ll listen to big brother,” Little Fatty nodded and said.

“Is everyone alright?” the old man asked aloud.

“We’ve been in front of you for ages, and you’re asking this now?”

“Wasn’t I just busy supervising Little Fatty’s battle?

When would I have had the time to think about that?” The old man said, “All of the assassins should be dead now, right?”

“For the time being, no other people have been detected,” Tang Fei said.

He kicked the throwing knife on the ground and said with disdain, “What kind of assassin team is this?

More like a suicide squad, right?”

The old man shook his head and said, “Each of these guys is top-notch, every one of them skilled…

It’s just that they underestimated their enemy, not expecting to run into a group like us.”

Phoenix nodded; she knew the old man’s words made a lot of sense.

If random people encountered on the Old Land all had their strength, then the Old Land would’ve risen long ago.

Maybe they could’ve even reached New Star with some explosive technology…

Unfortunately, they were still the extreme minority, rare like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

If it weren’t for Tang Fei who picked her up, but some other refugee from the Old Land…

she’d probably have been dealt with by them by now.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but look in Tang Fei’s direction.

Tang Fei also happened to think of this, looked over at Phoenix, and their eyes met squarely.

Tang Fei quickly turned away, feeling somewhat guilty, then turned back around forcibly, staring openly at Phoenix.

This time, it was Phoenix who became shy; her cheeks turned a slight red as she averted her gaze.

Tang Fei was then satisfied.

I can be shameless, but I can’t lose.

The old man caught the interaction between the two young people and couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

Little Fatty was confused; what was there to laugh about?

“They just came to the wrong place,” Tang Fei said.

This was Mount Hate, his domain.

He knew it too well, there were too many things he could use, too many traps he could set.

Like that arrow formation, originally made to hunt Vajra Pigs; with a little modification, it proved useful this time.

And that Gate of Hell, previously so effective, whether it was any animal that followed Tang Fei inside, only their bodies would come out, leaving their souls behind.

He didn’t expect it to almost backfire this time…

“Indeed.

You’ve been roaming these mountains since you were a kid, no one knows them better than you.

For them to come here was just a deathtrap,” the old man praised Tang Fei for once.

“However, what was the deal with that Gate of Hell?

How did you get yourself into such a dire situation?

Had Phoenix not arrived in time, your life might have been forfeit there.

Your performance was even worse than Little Fatty’s this time.”

“How is that my fault?

How could I have known they had a shapeshifting plane?

What do I have besides a pair of hands?”

“Dead men can’t make excuses,” the old man said with a serious face.

“…”

Tang Fei knew the old man was making a lot of sense, so he didn’t want to talk to the old man anymore.

He looked at Phoenix and said, “They must have arrived on a spaceship or something like a Star Disc.

If we can find it, you can go home.”

“Yes,” Phoenix nodded, happily saying, “At least I can use their communication equipment to contact my family on New Star.”

“Yes,” Tang Fei also brightened up, thinking about Phoenix returning and bringing him a load of weapons and supplies, he felt his good days were just around the corner.

“It’s a shame we didn’t keep any prisoners…

Otherwise, we could have interrogated them about where they parked their spaceship.”

“Use your brain,” the old man tapped his head and said out loud.

Tang Fei looked at the old man and asked, “Got any ideas?”

“What ideas could I have?

At my age, what else could I be thinking of?

I meant for you to use your brain, to figure out where they might have parked the spaceship.”

Tang Fei looked around and said, “If I were them, I’d park the spaceship at the highest point of this area…

I would park it at the top of Mount Hate so I could have a clear view of the surroundings.

Moreover, in case anything happens, it’d be easier to make a quick escape, right?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a blinding light illuminated the top of Mount Hate.

Quickly, the light soared into the sky and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The people exchanged looks.

Little Fatty looked up at Tang Fei with admiration and said, “Big brother is so impressive, guessed right on the first try.”

“Guessing right doesn’t do a damn thing,” the old man erupted in fury.

“Letting them escape…

how could we let them escape?

That was a Star Disc.

If we had captured it…”

“You know how to operate it?” Tang Fei asked.

“You don’t know shit.

The Star Disc technology is so advanced now.

All you need is voice control to input the coordinates, you really don’t need to do anything,” the old man grumbled.

What should have been a sure catch slipped away right under his nose.

To someone like the old man, anything not retrieved was considered lost.

Utterly infuriating.

Tang Fei felt so anguished that he couldn’t breathe, staring at the sky for a while before finally saying to Phoenix with a sad face, “You can’t leave now…”

“Yeah, it’s a real shame,” Phoenix said, her voice unexpectedly light.

She did want to go back, but if she couldn’t for the time being, she wasn’t that upset.

Tang Fei found Phoenix’s tone strange but didn’t think much of it.

He looked at Phoenix thoughtfully and asked, “Are these people the ones who were searching for the King’s Tomb with you?”

“No,” Phoenix shook her head.

“Definitely not.

You’re a student from some school on New Star…

What kind of students look like this?

Have you ever seen students who are this old?

Have you seen students who are this twisted?”

“Yeah,” Phoenix chimed in.

“These people are professional assassins…” Tang Fei watched Phoenix closely, observing the changes in her facial expressions as he said, “What on earth did you do to offend heaven and reason so much that someone would spend a fortune to send assassins after you?”

Phoenix knew Tang Fei and the others were beginning to doubt her identity.

Without changing her expression or heartbeat, she said, “There’s someone in our group with a very powerful background.

He wants to take over the King’s Tomb and ordered people killed, and those he slaughtered were his classmates and mentors…”

“They’re afraid I’ll expose his misdeeds when I return to New Star, so they sent assassins to kill…”

Tang Fei looked at the old man, who said irritably, “Believe it if you want to, or don’t if you don’t want to, why are you looking at me?”

“I want to see if you believe it.”

“I don’t,” said the old man succinctly.

“Haven’t I always told you two, women are deceivers, the prettier they are, the more deceptive?”

“You talk as if you’ve been heartbroken many times,” Tang Fei said with irritation.

“Ah, the number of young girls’ hearts I’ve broken…not a thousand, then at least eight hundred,” the old man said gravely, sighing over his regrettable past.

“What’s up?

Did you sell them fake face masks?”

“…”

“Ptuh!”

Phoenix knew she shouldn’t laugh at this moment, but she couldn’t help it and giggled.

Seeing Tang Fei and the old man looking at her with strange eyes, Phoenix forced herself to stop laughing and apologized proactively to the old man, “Uncle, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

“Forget it, forget it.” The old man waved magnanimously.

“Laugh if you want.

That little story of yours might deceive these two fools, but you think you can fool me?

No way.”

“Uncle…”

“If you don’t want to say, we won’t force you.” The old man looked at Phoenix and threatened, “But if you harm them, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“Uncle, don’t worry.

They’re my friends; I’ll definitely not harm them.”

The old man stretched out his arms and yawned, “Let’s go back, let’s go back.

Been busy all night, I’m dead tired.”

Then he said to Tang Fei, “Go and check the bodies, see if there’s anything useful on them.”

“I already checked,” Tang Fei said.

He was very good at searching bodies, killing one and searching each one, never coming back empty-handed.

“That’s good.” The old man was quite satisfied with Tang Fei’s performance.

The kid conducted himself in a way that was just too much like his own.

Not at all like his dad.

The night had deepened; the forest was dense.

Tang Fei, leading Phoenix, Little Fatty, the old man, and the others back home through the mountains and waters had taken more than an hour.

Escaping didn’t feel like much, but on returning, they realized they had run quite a distance.

Everything in the courtyard was as it had been; even the meat Little Fatty had hidden away hadn’t been stolen.

Tang Fei looked at Phoenix, Little Fatty, and the others and said, “You guys go to sleep; I’ll keep watch.”

Although they had dealt with several assassins, they couldn’t guarantee there weren’t others hiding in the darkness.

So, it was necessary to be careful and vigilant.

“Bro, shall I keep you company?” Little Fatty asked.

“No need,” Tang Fei refused.

“Go to sleep.”

Little Fatty wasn’t a Cultivator and had been fighting for most of the day.

He was probably already exhausted.

“I’ll stay with you,” Phoenix said to Tang Fei.

“I’m a Cultivator, and I can regulate my body with Yin Yang Qi even when just sitting there…

I can also keep you company and chat.”

“That’s settled then.” The old man yawned and pulled away Little Fatty, who still wanted to show off.

Why compete over this?

You’ll only delay your brother from finding you a sister-in-law.
