Chapter 526: Chapter 517: Harbouring Thoughts

"Alright, let’s leave it at that, it’s better not to blow things out of proportion."

Shi Feng nodded slightly in response to the words of the girl called Little Yi. He then thought for a moment, and the blood-colored blaze wrapping around the husky men and Tai Ke curled back towards the white tiger, which also transformed into a blood-colored blaze.

However, when all of the blood-colored blaze had returned to the white tiger, there was nothing left in front of it; Tai Ke and the five husky men had all vanished.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the room widened their eyes, terrified, realizing it could only mean that Tai’s family Second Young Master Tai Ke and his five Martial Sect Realm subordinates were burned to ashes under the blood-colored blaze, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

Following that, a series of sharp inhalations echoed throughout the hall.

"Your white tiger, it actually killed Tai Ke!" said Little Yi, standing beside Shi Feng, with an extremely shocked expression and tone.

Tai Ke was dead, and the girl realized that this was big trouble.

Not just the girl, everyone from the Tough Mercenary Corps realized that this was a major incident! The death of the Tai family’s Second Young Master here, although by the hands of that young man, if pursued by the Tai family, the Tough Mercenary Corps would inevitably be implicated to some extent.

The wrath of the Tai family was far more than what the Tough Mercenary Corps could handle. Because of this incident, it could lead to the entire corps, consisting of hundreds of members, heading towards ruin.

All members of the Tough Mercenary Corps present looked at Shi Feng with strange expressions. Now that Shi Feng’s white tiger had shown great power, some of them harbored resentment, feeling that Shi Feng had dragged them down, yet they dared not voice their anger.

By now, as fear gripped them because of Tai Ke’s death, they completely failed to realize that the whole conflict between Shi Feng and Tai Ke began because Shi Feng told Tai Ke, "Don’t go too far," urging Tai Ke to back off.

Far from feeling grateful, they felt burdened by Shi Feng.

And in their eyes, Shi Feng appeared totally unaware that he had made a grave mistake; rather, he maintained a calm demeanor, as if killing the Second Young Master Tai Ke of the Tai family was no different from killing a stray dog.

Shi Feng’s demeanor further fueled the raging fires in the hearts of many members of the Tough Mercenary Corps.

This noble master protected by a powerful white tiger, yet useless, was a scourge!

Vice Commander Wenn Sheng of the Tough Mercenary Corps took a deep breath, looked at Shi Feng, and said, "Young man, this is not a place to stay for long. We’ll be taking our leave now."

After careful consideration, Wenn Sheng decided it was best to distance himself from the young man as soon as possible. No matter what, they could not stay with him any longer. He now led these young mercenaries back to the headquarters of the Tough Mercenary Corps to report the matter to the Commander for a decision.

Hearing Wenn Sheng’s words, Shi Feng looked at him. He already understood what they were thinking and said indifferently, "Do as you please. After you leave this place, just say that this person was killed by me. Let that family come seek revenge from me if they wish."

"Goodbye!" After Wenn Sheng finished speaking, he said to the young people, "Let’s go."

"Uh-huh!" The ten young people nodded hurriedly upon hearing Wenn Sheng’s words. They also knew they had to distance themselves from him as soon as possible. Especially the three young men who, along with Huu Hao, had been critical of Shi Feng, were now eager to leave, fearing that Shi Feng might hold a grudge against them and let the Blood-colored Blaze-covered white tiger pounce on them fiercely.

As they passed by the Fiery Flames, they kept their distance and were extremely cautious, their hearts filled with apprehension.

"You! Oh!" The girl, Little Yi, who was by his side, also stood up wanting to say something to Shi Feng, then sighed heavily with a worried look on her face. The words she wanted to say never came out, and in the end, she followed the others and walked towards the exit of the tavern.

Not only the members of the Tough Mercenary Corps were evacuating the tavern, but also the other patrons who were eating and drinking there. Everyone hastily left, fearing being implicated. The death of the Tai Family’s Second Young Master right before their eyes—no one dared to bear the wrath of the Tai Family.

In no time, the tavern was empty except for Shi Feng, who sat quietly alone at the large round table.

At that moment, Little Bai walked towards Shi Feng. As he approached, the Blood-colored Blaze on Little Bai swept towards Shi Feng, quickly enveloping him, and was absorbed by him.

Looking at the tavern hall which had been bustling but was now empty, Shi Feng smiled and shook his head, then called out, "Waiter, bring the wine and the dishes!"

"Yes! Yes, sir, please wait a moment!" The dishes and wine ordered by the Tough Mercenary Corps had already been prepared, but their serving had been paused due to Tai Ke’s arrival.

Now, although most people had left, the white tiger that had killed Tai Ke and its formidable master remained. Under the imposing presence of the white tiger, the waiter dared not delay and hurriedly turned around to serve the food and wine.

This formidable figure, due to Tai Ke angering him, his white tiger dared to kill Tai Ke and even burnt him to ashes. Never mind a mere waiter like himself.

...

On the road from Star Radiance Town to Starshine City, a group of eleven people, each with a grave expression on their face, many were regretting their decision to travel with the "Broom Star." They had warned him about the dangers in the Demon Beast Mountain Forest, but instead, he dragged them all into trouble.

Some reproached in their hearts, blaming the girl, Little Yi, for meddling too much. If that man wanted to stay in the dangerous Demon Beast Mountain Range, then let him be. His life or death had nothing to do with them, they wouldn’t have had these problems if they hadn’t come into contact with him.

Three others were feeling relieved, relieved that in the end, he did not let the white tiger attack them. At that moment, they truly felt their lives were entirely in the hands of that family’s useless son. With just one word from him, the white tiger could end their lives.

"Uncle Wenn Sheng, what should we do now? It seems impossible to avoid the consequences of Tai Ke’s death. After all, so many people saw him enter the tavern with us," the relatively mature and composed young woman in the group asked Wenn Sheng.

"Sigh..."
