Chapter 950 - Chapter 950 Chapter 950 Blocking the Road

Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Blocking the Road Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Blocking the Road The Liao Family Brothers originally had an option, which was to go to the Tiantong Commercial Alliance to gather information.

But after seeing Hua Hua fly into the courtyard of Tiantong, they knew that they couldn’t do that — if Tiantong wanted to protect that Gu insect, how could they attack it?

Therefore, they could only spend a little money to learn about the situation here from the “sales guide.”

Those who ended up as sales guides were quick-witted, and it was normal for them to take money for their services. However, they wouldn’t divulge Doctor Feng’s immortal identity — even though most people already knew.

Talking about immortals behind their backs was a capital offense, even among the mortals at Mount Zhige. They would only hint subtly, never speaking plainly, especially to these two outsiders.

Otherwise, once the word leaked, it wouldn’t even require Feng Jun to act. The offspring of those major families would teach them the meaning of “a slip of the tongue is the bane of existence” — these scions were not just here to make money, they hoped to gain more fortunes.

This might sound a bit insidious, but humans are inherently selfish, and they weren’t exactly daydreaming — Mi Yunshan was a clear example of this.

These scion’s harbored expectations and naturally didn’t want more people to know, to avoid diluting their own chances.

Because of this, the Liao Family Brothers could only gather some knowledge related to the mortal realm.

Of course, this knowledge also surprised them, but they weren’t satisfied and always wanted to delve deeper.

After a few attempts to probe further, the sales guide grew suspicious — the Tian Family, Yu Family, and other families that managed the area for Mountain Master Feng had set a generous reward for capturing suspicious persons.

He looked at them and asked calmly, “You two ask so much… why not go in and see for yourselves?”

Elder Liao Brother’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he instinctively wanted to strike down this guy — how could he speak to his superiors like that?

However, Second Liao Brother stopped him — it wasn’t that Second Brother’s temper was better, but he was accustomed to finding faults. Seeing that Elder Brother was getting angry, he instinctively took the opposite view.

He pointed to the sky, making a “you know” expression, and whispered with a smile, “To be honest, my brother and I heard there are opportunities here, so we wanted to try our luck, but we aren’t familiar with the rules… afraid of doing something wrong, we thought to inquire first.”

The sales guide nodded, gave them an “I understand” look, then motioned towards the nearby Tiantong Courtyard with his mouth and whispered back, “If you two are really serious, you should know what place that is… Wouldn’t it be better to ask there than to ask me?”

“That place is expensive,” Elder Liao Brother’s mood calmed a bit, picking up the conversation, “We definitely know about Tiantong, but we need to understand the basics first, otherwise… wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”

The sales guide had already received a fair amount of money from them and, hearing their reasonable explanation, his suspicions slightly alleviated. So, he suggested, “Inside is actually much like outside, and we have our reasons to stay outside. You two don’t need to.”

Elder Liao Brother looked at his younger brother, “Shall we… go in and have a look?”

“No need!” Second Liao Brother finally had a legitimate reason to blatantly disagree with his brother, and he shook his head decisively, “We need to be practical, understand? First impressions are extremely important!”

“Indeed,” Elder Brother strongly agreed, nodding and then widening his eyes, his voice getting louder, “I knew you were trouble since I was in mother’s womb!”

Oddly, their bickering only made them appear more entertaining to others, reducing many suspicions.

Their fun didn’t last long; soon Feng Jun came out from the courtyard, Hua Hua took another direction, circling back — it didn’t report to Feng Jun about the presence of Gu Cultivators here because it felt it needed further verification.

Elder Liao Brother watched Feng Jun from afar and asked the nearby sales guide, “Is that Mountain Master Feng?”

“Yes,” the sales guide nodded, not concealing this widely known fact, “Being the Mountain Master is secondary, the key is the Divine Doctor… It is said he can revive the dead.”

Just a mere trance of stepping out! The Liao Family Brothers exchanged looks — luckily, not a Golden Core Master.

Since it wasn’t a Golden Core, their emotions stabilized quite a bit, and now the issue was: to find out the intricacies of Mount Zhige.

They squatted by the entrance for a day, got a rough idea of the situation, and then turned to leave — there were other methods to gather information.

Through their observation, they noticed many caravans leaving early in the morning, all purchasing goods from Mount Zhige, planning to go back and make a profit.

They didn’t need to inquire who these caravans belonged to; others mentioned it in their conversations, like — “Wow, the Mu Family got another twenty Boiler Camel Motorcycles… Looks like beauty really can do the trick.”

Then, profound smiles appeared on other people’s faces.

Listening around, the Liao Family Brothers analyzed: since Mount Zhige conducted quite a few business transactions in the Mortal Realm, getting information wouldn’t be too difficult.

They couldn’t make their move near the mountain gate, so they withdrew fifty kilometers away in the middle of the night, directly waiting on the main road for the outgoing caravans.

The next morning, several caravans passed by in succession, and the two brothers directly intercepted a caravan that was neither large nor small.

Their bodies floated in the air, making no attempt to conceal their identities as cultivators, “Where is the manager? Come out and talk!”

Terms such as “Immortal” might be unknown or unspoken by others, but those who do business with Mount Zhige certainly possess notable identities, so the brothers made their inquiries straightforward.

“You should know who we are, and we won’t say much. Give us a brief overview of the situation at Mount Zhige, and don’t ask about our origins. You just need to know that explaining might not get you killed… failing to explain will definitely get you killed.”

Immortals confronting mortals were always unreasonable.

The first caravan they stopped belonged to the Yu Family, “We have descendants at the Wuyou Platform, and she is currently at Mount Zhige as well. There are also Ascended Masters at Mount Zhige… What would you like to know?”

With such a response, they couldn’t ask much further, so the brothers simply gathered some information and then moved on to another family.

Moving on, they unfortunately ran into the Yuan Guangmi Family. The Mi Family knew that the men in front of them were Ascended Masters, but… Mi Yunshan was Feng Jun’s female attendant.

Thus, they respectfully stated, “What would you gentlemen like to know? You can find out more at Mount Zhige, where several Ascended Masters currently reside. We believe you gentlemen will definitely find common topics of interest.”

As relatives of Sister Lin, they didn’t flaunt this connection–waiting until Mi Yunshan ascended to the Qi Refinement Realm wouldn’t be a bad idea, but by mentioning the relationship with Feng Jun and their acquaintance with him, the Mi Family still exceeded the Yu Family.

Being intimately close, Feng Jun didn’t hide much from her, and she wouldn’t keep absolutely everything from her family.

Thus, although the Mi Family’s words were gentle, not revealing the connection with Mi Yunshan or naming which Ascended Masters were present, they still hinted–“There are several Masters on Mount Zhige, you two… might not be considered significant.”

However, what did the Liao Family Brothers care about this? They only feared the Yu Family because of the words “Heavenly Heart Platform Disciple.”

So Elder Liao Brother asserted his dominance, pressing the manager to his knees, “I want to hear more details!”

The Yuan Guangmi Family, on the other hand, was commendable. Their disciples showed backbone, and the manager respectfully replied, “You both are Masters, and so are the ones at Mount Zhige. We mere mortals do not dare meddle in the affairs of Masters.”

Elder Liao Brother watched him, a strange smile appearing on his face, “Do you have some misunderstanding about Immortals… thinking I wouldn’t actually kill someone?”

The people of the Mi Family didn’t dare respond; they were completely at the mercy of others, just like fish on a chopping board.

If the Liao Brother really dared to kill them, Feng Jun might still seek revenge for them. But if they betrayed Mount Zhige, it would candidly prove their disrespect towards cultivators–an offense mortals would not dare to commit by discussing the affairs of Immortals.

Seeing the situation stiffening, Second Liao Brother immediately tried to smooth things over, “Elder Brother, what are you doing? Ask politely.”

Then he looked towards the people of the Mi Family, “We have no other intentions, we just want to do some minor business with Mountain Master Feng…”

Mid-sentence, he reached out and forcibly snapped one of their arms, still smiling, “Sorry, got a bit too strong… Since it’s business, both parties need to be informed, yet we are not acquainted with Mountain Master Feng.”

The manager, sweating coldly from pain, remained silent, gritting his teeth, “If you wish to do business, you can try contacting the Tiantong Commercial Alliance. The Alliance also has Masters.”

Elder Liao Brother’s expression darkened, asking ominously, “Tiantong also has Ascended Masters?”

He had to clarify this issue, as the Mortal Realm sometimes exaggerated titles for cultivators, and many referred to anyone in the Qi Refinement Realm as a Master.

“Yes,” the manager replied through clenched teeth, “Ascended Masters. You will surely cooperate happily.”

Elder Liao Brother’s brow furrowed slightly. By this, at least three Masters were at Mount Zhige, including major powers like Tianxin Platform and Wuyou Platform. The situation was getting more complicated.

Since it was so, he got straight to the point, “Recently… have any Gu Cultivators come around here?”

“We mortals, where would we know about such things?” the manager pleaded bitterly. In truth, he was aware that someone from the Heavenly Heart Platform had come to treat Gu poison, but with his arm already broken, why should he share this information?

Second Liao Brother sneered, “If you keep being uncooperative like this, it will be troublesome… I really don’t want to conduct a Soul Search.”

Just then, Elder Liao Brother chimed in, “Another caravan is coming, uh, let’s detain them first… By asking a few more, we will definitely get the answers.”

What they didn’t know was that, not far from them, a man and a woman sat on the branches of a large tree, coldly observing the scene. The man’s brow slightly furrowed, “Looking for Gu Cultivators?”

The woman dismissed the idea, “Who knows if it’s just an excuse? Feng Jun treating a Heavenly Heart disciple for Gu poison is no secret.”

She was right, but what she didn’t realize was that the others had come hastily, initially not even knowing Feng Jun’s name.
