This was not surprising; Tiantong dealt with high-level cultivators, and just thinking about it, one would know that someone like Feng Jun, at the high tier of Qi Refinement, could establish a decent relationship with them. It was impossible for the Xue Family, a family of recluses and cultivators, not to have interactions with Tiantong.

However, the intricacies of these relationships were beyond the knowledge of someone like Xue Hongsheng, who was at the high tier of Qi Refinement.

But Feng Jun didn’t care about his words in the least, he just smiled, “What if I don’t want to become a patron for your family?”

Xue Hongfei glanced around, then laughed proudly, “You have no second choice…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Feng Jun had already moved, directly slashing three times with his blade.

As soon as he moved, the fan in Xue Hongfei’s hand reacted without the slightest hesitation, and with a flick of his wrist, a beam of white light shot out.

Not only Xue Hongfei, but Xue Hongsheng also moved. He swung his longsword, creating two sword blooms as he thrust towards Feng Jun.

An unprecedented crisis–a pincer attack from an early-stage out-of-world cultivator and a high-tier Qi Refinement cultivator!

Upon hearing “early-stage out-of-world cultivator,” Liang Zhongyu froze. Holy shit, was the person who came an expert in the Qi Refinement Realm?

By this time, how could he not realize that they had encountered one of Feng Jun’s enemies?

But you’re his enemies, why involve me as well? At that moment, Liang Zhongyu truly wanted to cry.

He didn’t realize that without his random intervention, this battle could have possibly been avoided.

But now it was too late to say whether to cry or not, as in the next moment, a dazzling light was thrusting toward him.

The one who acted was none other than the person lurking in the bushes not far from him, startlingly another high-tier Qi Refinement cultivator.

This person held twin guns, the first beam of light being thrown, and by the time Liang Zhongyu deflected the first flying spear, the man had already charged at him with gun in hand, combining man and weapon in one strike.

“Damn it,” Liang Zhongyu exclaimed in anger, throwing out a circular object, “Think I’m easy to bully? Ruyi Silver Yuan!”

The circular object suddenly enlarged in mid-air and viciously smashed towards the opponent…

Xue Hongfei knew Feng Jun was a formidable opponent, but he didn’t believe the man could survive his attack.

He received the news of Feng Jun’s arrival a bit late, but it was precisely because of the delay that he knew there were two of them, both high-tier Qi Refinement cultivators.

So he brought two high-tier Qi Refinement cultivators tailing him. He believed that the three of them could definitely capture the other party–considering the comparison of combat strength between both sides, we had an additional early-stage out-of-world cultivator by brute force.

Therefore, although he was primarily targeting Feng Jun, he also did not neglect to monitor Liang Zhongyu–this person must not be let go, otherwise, it could lead to pressure from the Huang Fu Family, and even… the Tiantong Commerce Alliance.

However, just as he was astonished by Liang Zhongyu’s reaction and combat strength, he suddenly felt that something was amiss!

Feng Jun originally wore a brown short attire–such a color and outfit helped him be less conspicuous in the Qingling Mountain Range, but now, his body suddenly turned golden-yellow.

Xue Hongfei, as the Xue Family’s forerunner in Qiuchen Market, had some vision to say the least. Noting that his own attack had been ineffective was already strange.

Then… Xue Hongsheng’s attack was also ineffective, whose swordsmanship ranked in the top three among the Xue Family’s Qi Refinement cultivators.

One should know, we’re talking about swordsmanship here, which ranks first in terms of attack strength among all weapons.

Yet, it did no damage to Feng Jun! To put it in terms of Earth Realm… this wasn’t scientific!

Next, his eyes suddenly widened, “Out-of-world Armor… Are you an out-of-world cultivator, or perhaps… Crimson…?”

He suddenly remembered, this was clearly the style of armor from the Crimson Phoenix Sect!

However, it was too late, everything was far too late, as Feng Jun’s long blade in hand had already made three slashes, merely a cover for him to bring out the Mountain and River Seal.

For this, he didn’t hesitate to take a hit head-on… as well as Xue Hongsheng’s sword.

He wasn’t particularly confident in his armor, even though it was the Flame Armor that he had bought for fifteen thousand spirit stones–at least he truly had no confidence in withstanding Xue Hongsheng’s sword.

But… he still had a trump card, didn’t he? That’s why he was willing to take the risk.

As it turned out, the reputation of Crimson Pheonix’s Nine Luan was not unearned; the out-of-world armor that Bai Luan sold him far exceeded his expectations and was nothing like the cheaper goods that one could find in the market.

Feng Jun was only surprised that the armor could withstand Xue Hongsheng’s sword–he had confused sword techniques with sword cultivators. Although many made this mistake, frankly, those who were famous for their sword techniques were not much weaker in attack power than sword cultivators.

What he didn’t realize was that the white light Xue Hongfei had emitted also had lethal power.

It was the Wooden Yuan Bead, a magical treasure nurtured within Xue Hongfei’s body. Though he was an early-stage out-of-world cultivator and the nurtured magical treasure was merely in its initial form, it was easy to kill high-tier Qi Refinement cultivators and also not something early-stage out-of-world cultivators could easily withstand.

But no matter what, he withstood it, and then suddenly, a grand seal appeared in the sky, smashing down viciously towards Xue Hongfei.

Just at that moment, a voice rang out from not far away, “Please, show mercy!”

These four words were not loud, yet they were soul-shaking; Feng Jun felt a great shock within: Another Intermediate Level cultivator?

He had thought about confronting the Xue Family’s Intermediate Level experts, but he never expected to draw out two Intermediate Level cultivators.

But by then, it was too late to say anything. The opponent’s aggression was clear, unwilling to submit they would kill, and they were joining forces, with both a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator and an Intermediate Level cultivator targeting him, a High Tier of Qi Refinement.

So he couldn’t be bothered to pay heed, and the Great Seal smashed down without hesitation.

“Burst!” Following that was a light shout from Xue Hongfei, who raised his hand and pointed, and a green light that seemed inconspicuous shot towards the Great Seal.

This was the Xue Family’s secret technique, the Sound Explosion Finger, capable of effectively blocking the attack of a magical treasure.

The green light hit the Great Seal squarely, resulting in a loud boom.

However, the Mountain and River Seal was a treasured artifact of Kunlun, and Feng Jun, being a cultivator of the Intermediate Level, how could it be countered by a mere secret technique from an average clan?

The Great Seal was only slightly delayed, practically invisible to the naked eye, and still it descended with the speed of lightning, too fast to cover one’s ears.

“Intermediate Level!” Xue Hongfei finally realized what kind of person he was ambushing, and cried out in alarm, slapping a protective talisman onto his body without hesitation–one that could defend against a strike from a middle tier Intermediate Level.

However, such a level of defense was clearly unable to withstand the Mountain and River Seal’s attack. With a “thud” the Great Seal smashed heavily onto the ground, and Xue Hongfei had already vanished without a trace.

Just then, Xue Hongsheng flicked his hand and a sword thrust over, and seeing this scene, he was so frightened his soul nearly left his body, withdrawing his hand and turning to flee.

No matter how arrogant he appeared while collecting merits, he was actually the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Feng Jun didn’t bother with him, allowing another sword to be thrust at him, and directly launched a Divine Sense Attack.

Xue Hongsheng tumbled to the ground, clutching his head, rolling around and wailing nonstop.

However, Feng Jun’s gaze was fixed in the direction behind Xue Hongfei–to him, the High Tier of Qi Refinement was not worthy of attention.

It was getting dark, and in the almost night-like twilight, a figure appeared.

This person seemed quite distant from them but took a few leisurely steps to approach, and had already come near.

His features were very different from those of Xue Hongfei, but he bore some resemblance to Xue Hongsheng.

Feng Jun’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Breathing the air of heaven and earth… Fellow Daoist has a connection with the Golden Core.”

The newcomer was in the middle tier of Intermediate Level, but his manner of arrival was somewhat strange, and Feng Jun truly did not dare to underestimate him.

“I am Xue Jingren,” said the newcomer expressionlessly, “I dare not claim to breathe the air of heaven and earth. It is merely the minor Art of Wood Concealment.”

The Art of Wood Concealment was also a secret Dharma of the Xue Family, blending one’s own aura with the surrounding vegetation, making it impossible for the opponent to detect oneself.

But how should this Dharma be described? Somewhat underwhelming. Originally developed from military stealth techniques meant for ambushes.

When the individual is motionless, indeed, the effect is excellent, and one can erupt and strike at the agreed time, but it is not suitable for tracking.

It is more convenient to tail someone without their noticing, but once the target is fully alert, it is easy to discover the tracker.

Moreover, among the Five Elements Concealment Techniques, the Xue Family only had the Art of Wood Concealment; it also had environmental requirements and was not considered particularly rare.

Of course, regardless, this Dharma was able to elude Feng Jun’s perception, and in the end, it was identified by an infrared telescope–even Xue Jingren himself had not been detected, showing it was quite formidable.

On hearing this, Feng Jun responded with a faint smile, “That is indeed quite impressive, but unfortunately…”

“Let’s talk nicely,” Xue Jingren’s face darkened, “resorting to action while speaking… Can’t you behave like an Intermediate Level expert?”

But Feng Jun simply smiled again, disinterestedly, “Heh, your Xue Family’s Intermediate Level experts ambushed me; why can’t I strike first? Is justice only with your Xue Family?”

He wasn’t planning to listen to the other party, but since they already knew he was accustomed to “striking while talking”, his surprise attack wouldn’t be effective anymore. If that was the case, why not wait–perhaps a more appropriate moment to strike would come?

In fact, he felt no goodwill towards this Xue Jingren: Standing in front of me, you’ve rambled on and on without even checking to see whether the person under the Mountain and River Seal is dead, showing the cold nature of your person.

Strictly speaking, he was still not accustomed to the thinking patterns of this plane.

For those born into major clans, when encountering such events, the first thing to consider was vengeance. Whether their own people were dead or how to save them was something to consider afterward… What if they were ambushed while saving someone? What if the enemy fled?

Ensuring that villains pay the price is what is most important. Only such actions can make more people think twice before committing misdeeds, weighing the cost of their actions, whether it is worth it.

Feng Jun’s thinking was still somewhat influenced by the Holy Mother rhetoric from Earth: In the event of a car accident, saving people comes first, and only then observing the culprit’s license plate–just one more glance at the license plate, a matter of two or three seconds, how important is it for the victim?

If a kidnapper takes a hostage, the authorities must surely accommodate, isn’t this encouraging hostage taking?

Xue Jingren saw this very clearly, and while talking, he patted a defense talisman onto his own body.
