Chapter 721 - Chapter 721 Chapter 721 How Boring (2nd Update)

Chapter 721: Chapter 721: How Boring (2nd Update) Chapter 721: Chapter 721: How Boring (2nd Update) Qi Wushi was at the great fulfillment of the ninth layer of Qi Refining; his cultivation level alone made it clear that his accompanying them to Mount Zhige was by no means a coincidence.

When You Longzi brought his female disciple, it was to let her gain some experience of the world. Given her temperament, she could also take the opportunity to make some extreme remarks without anyone taking them to heart.

Bringing Qi Wushi was purely to prepare for testing the combat strength of the opponents. Feng Jun was at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, and so was he; a disagreement could immediately lead to a fight, which was a fair battle that nobody could object to.

Therefore, the task of provoking Feng Jun fell to Xiao Xia, but when it came to turning hostile, that was still Qi Wushi’s role to play.

Seeing Feng Jun turn to leave, You Longzi shouted to keep him there, but when he failed, Qi Wushi immediately drew out his Green Ghost Banner.

This was his favorite magic artifact, housing one large and three small ghosts. The largest was already at the initial stage of detachment from the mortal realm, while the small ghosts were also at the initial and intermediate stages of Qi Refining.

Feng Jun, hearing what he said, turned and gave him a cold look, then bared his teeth in a smile, “Want to make a move?”

His face sank, and he shouted loudly, “Back off! Lang Zhen, you take everyone back, don’t get in my way!”

“You can’t leave that easily!” Xiao Xia lifted her hand, and three streaks of white light shot towards Lang Zhen and the Deng Family Brothers.

“Seeking death!” Feng Jun bellowed in anger, flicking his hand to release a bolt of thunder, aimed directly at Xiao Xia.

You Longzi’s face subtly changed. He lifted a hand and pointed, and suddenly above Xiao Xia’s head appeared a milky-white disc, about three feet in diameter, steadfastly protecting her from above.

A bolt of thunder struck down, the disc vibrated violently, and then immediately shattered into pieces, dissipating into smoke.

Meanwhile, Feng Jun had also drawn out his Spirit Blade, hitting the three streaks of white light.

The three lights exploded in an instant, bringing forth a wave of Yin Energy. It was nothing else but the commonly seen Evil Mist Bead of the Yinsha Sect.

The bead’s power was moderate; when facing a cultivator, it mostly relied on the Yin Energy to disrupt the opponent. However, if it hit a martial cultivator, the consequences could be quite serious. Even if Lang Zhen and the Deng Family Brothers were martial masters, they would stand to lose at least half their lives.

But Feng Jun was at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, and it largely had no effect on him.

Seeing this, You Longzi became furious. He pointed at Feng Jun and said, “Such vicious methods!”

He had sensed how astonishingly powerful that bolt of the Falling Thunder Technique was just now. If it weren’t for his intervention, his disciple would have lost at least half her life–and Xia Er had a defensive treasure. However, the best counter to the Yinsha Sect was the Thunder Technique.

Feng Jun’s figure retreated slightly, dodging the direction of his pointed finger, and sneered, “The feeling is mutual; it was your disciple who asked for it.”

Xia Er, who had been frightened by the recent attack, upon hearing this, yelled desperately, “Master, he wants to kill me!”

She didn’t feel there was anything wrong with her striking at three mortals–it wasn’t just her view; in the eyes of a cultivator, mortals’ lives were considered trivial and expendable.

Of course, she didn’t necessarily want to kill. Maiming those three would suffice. The reason was simple: why follow an unreliable master?

Feng Jun sneered at her, “If you don’t kill, then who would want to kill you?”

You Longzi was also furious, having never encountered such a lunatic–how dare someone make a move on his disciple right in front of him?

Previously, he had always been looking for an excuse to test the other side, but he never expected that in the blink of an eye, the situation would take such a dramatic turn.

True to his reputation for being good at handling complex situations, he managed to keep his cool at this crucial moment and did not immediately lash out, but with a darkened face, he demanded, “A High Tier of Qi Refinement picking on Intermediate Level… I’m very curious, what is your reliance?”

Feng Jun wasn’t in a hurry to respond. He glanced left and right, noting that Lang Zhen and the others had already retreated quickly.

He gestured with his hand to signal them to move even further away, then slowly took out a cigarette to light and leisurely spoke, “So the Intermediate Level picking on martial masters feels like a great accomplishment to you?”

“They are just mortals, just mortals!” Xia Er cried, feeling completely wronged.

“Even if they are mortals, they are still my people,” Feng Jun replied coldly. “You should consider the master before beating a dog… What wrong have they done?”

You Longzi fell silent, regretting for the first time that he brought Xia Er out with him.

He was a person with many schemes, but having earned widespread praise meant that he had a sense of right and wrong.

He didn’t see any problem with Xia Er striking at mortals, but “beating a dog without looking at the owner” clearly was a problem.

It was his usual indulgence of her, and perhaps more importantly, his own involvement that empowered her. Instead of observing the ways of the common folk, she became even more reckless with her master by her side.

Reflecting on this, his anger subsided a little, and he temporarily pushed aside the intent to teach the other side a lesson.

A High-Rank Qi Refining attacking an Intermediate Level was a case of the strong bullying the weak, a borderline case, but if he took action, it would be a detached realm against Qi Refining, a great leap across realms and definitely the strong overpowering the weak.

This kind of blatant bullying was especially taboo. If Feng Jun had family backing, and a Golden Core level master came out to suppress him–a detached one–the true masters of the Yinsha Sect couldn’t say a word.

Still, this incident couldn’t just be left unsettled. He glanced at Qi Wushi.

Qi Wushi felt his temper rising at the sight, and upon catching his master’s hint, he raised his hand in salute, “I would appreciate guidance from Daoist Feng!”

“Hold on,” Feng Jun declined, “that little girl was impolite just now, and I’ve already retaliated. There was no real harm done on either side, so let’s consider this matter closed.”

Now that this Qi character had stepped forward, it was necessary to have a proper explanation.

Feng Jun also didn’t think it was normal for Master You Longzi to bring someone at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer– he wasn’t paranoid, but how could such coincidences exist in this world?

Therefore, he spoke gravely, “What do you mean by asking for my guidance? What benefit is there for me to instruct you?”

Hearing this, Qi Wushi grew even more irritated, thinking, I merely mentioned guidance, and you really think you’re qualified to instruct me?

With a cold laugh, he made his stance clear, “Daoist friend insulted my junior sister, and it’s not convenient for our master to act. Our cultivation levels are well-matched…”

Feng Jun cut him off mid-sentence, now adopting Chairman Huang Fu Flawless’s confrontational tone, “Are you sure it was I who insulted your junior sister, and not your junior sister who insulted me first?”

Qi Wushi responded directly, “I don’t care about that, but our Yinsha Sect will not tolerate being bullied.”

Feng Jun still had more to say, but seeing how forthright the other was, he couldn’t be bothered to argue, “Alright, since Chairman Huang Fu is here to witness, I will just ask one thing… A friendly spar or a duel to the death?”

Qi Wushi was startled for a moment, but then stiffened his neck, “Whichever you choose, I don’t mind… even a duel to the death is fine…”

“Then it’s settled,” Feng Jun stated decisively, “regardless of whether I kill you or you kill me, this matter will be considered resolved… Your Yinsha Sect has no objections, right?”

As he spoke, he glanced at Master You Longzi, wanting to know if he would raise any objections.

However, before You Longzi could speak, Le Ye objected, “How can it be over? I still want to buy the Nether Bead.”

“You’re thinking too much,” Feng Jun grinned at him with a sneer, “Once your people from the Yinsha Sect took action against mine, I won’t sell you the Nether Bead, not for twenty thousand Spirit Stones, not even for two hundred thousand… there’s no room for negotiation.”

Upon hearing this, You Longzi’s brows furrowed slightly, “Not even for two hundred thousand? That’s quite a bold statement… Does Feng Xiaoyou have a prejudice against our Yinsha Sect?”

“No prejudice,” Feng Jun replied unyieldingly, “I just don’t like the way you handle things. Is that a problem?”

Le Ye became anxious, “Make it clear, it’s I who want to buy the Nether Bead from you, not Master You Longzi.”

That’s what he said, but Feng Jun remembered that this fellow had previously expressed– after the master arrived, he would defer to the master’s wishes.

Now that he saw his master at odds with him, he changed his tune.

But Feng Jun couldn’t be bothered to get caught up in a war of words and made his position clear, “The moment your people acted against mine, the possibility of any deal going forward ceased… I don’t sell my belongings to those who show enmity towards me.”

You Longzi felt like lighting up a cigarette at this point, wondering how the situation had escalated to this stage.

But Le Ye felt utterly wronged. He wasn’t from Master You Longzi’s lineage; the two families just had a decent relationship.

When it really came down to it, Le Ye didn’t much care about You Longzi, it was just that he wanted to get a deal done this time, and his superiors had arranged for this master to assist, “Daoist Feng… In truth, we bear no ill will towards you.”

“Spare me the talk,” Feng Jun scoffed disdainfully, “You’ve been here three days, not negotiating with me, but instead inquiring everywhere… What exactly do you want to know? Would you do the same with Tiantong Commerce Alliance?”

He had allowed You Longzi’s people to look around and inquire, which was indeed giving face to someone at the Mid-stage of Qi Refining, but he was quite sure they weren’t harboring any good intentions.

If it were truly just a matter of not trusting him, they could have focused their attention on authenticating the Nether Bead, instead of digging into his background.

This kind of thing… bluntly put, he wasn’t surprised at all.

It was only normal for those with treasures to arouse envy; humanity is such that with interests at stake, who wouldn’t harbor a bit of wishful thinking?

But for them to brazenly question him, to which he could do nothing–wasn’t it because he lacked the power to openly display his strength?

However, for them to say they bore no ill will now, that was truly shameless.

If he could tolerate such words after relations had soured, wouldn’t it say that he was easy to deceive? That he was weak?

“Well, in that case,” Qi Wushi interjected at the crucial moment, “Daoist Feng, if we were to battle to the death and I were to win, the Nether Bead would go to my junior brother Le Ye, and if I lost, then my life is yours to take.”

Feng Jun looked at him peculiarly, taking a while before responding, “How conceited you are…”

He truly didn’t know how to describe the other party, “The Nether Bead I wouldn’t sell even for two hundred thousand Spirit Stones is equivalent to your life? I’m really curious, where does this confidence come from?”

“That makes it sound so dull,” Qi Wushi steadied his emotions upon hearing this.

“In Daoist friend’s eyes, maybe my life isn’t worth mentioning, but in my own eyes, not even a million Spirit Stones can compare to my life. Now, for the reputation of my sect, I am willing to engage in a duel to the death, it’s not as you say…”

Feng Jun didn’t wait for him to finish, turning away, “Boring!”
