Chapter 226: 0224 Invitation

The sea breeze howled, crying along the rocks, producing a sorrowful wail.

On the rocky seashore, a figure stood in the seawater, allowing wind and waves to buffet him, unmovable, fixed in the sea like a firm stone, straight like a mythical needle that could stabilize the sea.

This figure was naturally Ye Qiu, who, since feeling the benefits of cultivating in the seawater the day before, had been continually refining his True Qi barrier with the help of the sea.

This sea area was rarely visited by people, and now that it was entering winter, there was no second person besides Ye Qiu.

The undisturbed environment was ideal, and Ye Qiu did not wish to be regarded as a monster, making the news headlines the next day.

He continually tried to create a vacuum around him, propelling the surrounding seawater. The process was arduous.

Even with his initial attempts, there were hardly any significant results, especially since the immense pressure from the seawater caused his True Qi to be forced back into his body, causing the pain of damaged meridians to endure.

Ye Qiu tried tirelessly, failing multiple times.

However, with constant failures and subsequent corrections, the distance he could isolate around himself had expanded from one centimeter to five centimeters.

Although it was a short distance, it had taken Ye Qiu two whole mornings.

With progress, Ye Qiu’s motivation only increased; he believed that it wouldn’t be long before his barrier of True Qi would be well-honed.

...

Ye Qiu returned to the Goddess Villa, changed his clothes, and began to meditate to recover the True Qi he had expended.

Meanwhile, within Zhonggu Tang, Chen Yifeng shared his plan to deal with the assassins with a few key individuals, ready to implement it and aiming to eliminate the hidden threat before the Northern and Southern Martial Arts Conference.

To deal with an expert capable of killing someone in the True Qi realm, one must treat them as such.

Currently, there were not many experts in the True Qi realm in Southern Martial Arts, and it was difficult for Chen Yifeng to request the old masters to come out of retirement, so he had to invite some slightly younger martial artists.

Li Futu was among the first, as one of the ten owls, his strength was beyond doubt, and his presence could reassure many.

Next was Ma Kunqing, also a top expert among the ten owls, ranking just behind Li Futu.

This time, the experts in True Qi realm Chen Yifeng had invited were all martial artists who had broken through to the True Qi realm in recent years, besides Li Futu and Ma Kunqing, there were two others whose strength was equally formidable, although in terms of development and talents, they could not compare with Li Futu and Ma Kunqing, as these two were relatively older.

Now, four True Qi realm experts were gathered together.

They were the most notable young talents of the younger generation, Li Futu, Ma Kunqing, and including the tall Meng Chong and the ordinary-looking Liang Gong.

Li Futu and Ma Kunqing stood a bit closer together. Meng Chong exuded a fierce air, looking very intimidating so no one dared approach him. The most harmless of them all was Liang Gong, who appeared just like an ordinary person, with no distinct aura about him, almost like an average citizen. But his unremarkable appearance was often what made him most terrifying.

With four experts appearing at once, honestly, the slightly older martial artists like Meng Chong and Liang Gong looked down on Li Futu and Ma Kunqing, and if it weren’t for Chen Yifeng’s invitation, they wouldn’t be standing here.

"Thanks to everyone for giving me face. The sole reason for inviting you all here is to eliminate that assassin who keeps lurking in the shadows and targeting our martial artists," Chen Yifeng spoke.

"I thought the senior had only invited me to deal with a guy hiding in the shadows. Isn’t inviting so many people overdoing it?" Meng Zuoyou glanced at Li Futu, Ma Kunqing, and Liang Gong as he spoke.

"Since the senior has invited us, he obviously has his reasons. Are you really so sure you could handle that guy by yourself?" Ma Kunqing couldn’t stand this big guy, feeling there was something overly arrogant about him.

"Kid, don’t think you can talk to me that way just because you’re known as ’Ten Owls’." Meng Zuoyou glanced at Ma Kunqing indifferently.

Ma Kunqing was naturally combative and didn’t care how much older the opponent was, immediately wanting to start a fight.

"Enough, you did not come here to quarrel," Chen Yifeng said, interrupting them as they were about to act.

"The guy lurking in the shadows is not as simple as you think, otherwise, I wouldn’t have sought you out at the same time."

At these words, all four became interested. Meng Zuoyou asked, "May I know how much Senior understands?"

"I cannot accurately estimate his strength, but at least he’s in the True Qi realm."

"A True Qi realm guy should be enough for one person to handle," Meng Zuoyou said again, while Liang Gong, who had been merely spectating, offered no opinions.

Chen Yifeng shook his head and said, "I’m afraid it’s not as simple as just one True Qi realm. I suspect that even with your strength, the odds of winning against this guy are unknown."

"Is Senior Chen perhaps exaggerating the opponent’s strength a bit too much?"

"I am not exaggerating. On the contrary, he may be even stronger, so to be safe, I have summoned all four of you to be the main executors of this plan."

"One True Qi realm guy, and four of us to deal with him, seems like we’re really elevating him," sighed Meng Zuoyou.

"If it were truly just one person, we would be fully confident, but what I fear is that it’s not just him, there are others who will act with him." When Chen Yifeng said this, several people frowned in unison, implying that the four might have to face an unknown number of experts, possibly all in the True Qi realm, which would indeed be a truly bitter battle.

They all appeared serious. After all, in the True Qi realm, the gap in strength isn’t often vast, so a numerical advantage could tilt the scales of victory.

At that moment, Chen Yifeng added, "Actually, besides you four, I have also invited another person, but I don’t know if he will accept my invitation!"

Oh?

The four showed curious expressions. In the southern martial arts circles, martial artists in the True Qi realm were few and finding anyone who had reached it recently was difficult.

Chen Yifeng revealed a mysterious smile. Meng Zuoyou didn’t understand, while Liang Gong remained silent.

However, Li Futu and Ma Kunqing exchanged glances, both thinking of the same person.

Could the person Senior Chen mentioned be him?

...

It was this guy again, appearing before him once more. Ye Qiu looked at the lean man as skinny as a monkey, having just listened to his message.

After delivering the message, the ’wild monkey’ quickly left, leaving Ye Qiu with a contemplative expression.

Inviting me to collaborate in killing the person hidden in the shadows?

Ye Qiu did not decline the invitation, though the life and death of people in the martial arts world mattered little to him, Ye Qiu. However, he had promised Lin Qiao’er to bring the assassin to justice and would not go back on his word.

Now was a good opportunity.

"It looks like I need to make a trip after all," Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders lightly, turned around, and left the winter scene at dusk behind the door.
