Chapter 1007: Chapter 1005: The Situation in Huaxia! (Second Update!)

"Why have they come?"

Ren Feifan muttered to himself.

Ever since the last negotiation failed, Ren Feifan had not had any contact with the old leaders.

Moreover, since the old leader favored his grandson, which greatly annoyed Ren Feifan, he was bound not to show them a courteous face even though these people had arrived.

The old leader, with a staggering gait, walked up.

His grandson was even at his side, supporting him.

The grandson’s head was lowered; he dared not look at Ren Feifan.

Several people followed behind the old leader, one a guard and the others from Crouching Dragon Villa or others in Huaxia holding minor official positions.

They could be considered immensely powerful.

Finally, the old leader reached Ren Feifan’s presence but instead of speaking, he silently lit several cigarettes—clearly a sign of respect for the deceased in the presence of the Swordsman Lord!

After a long time, he placed the cigarettes into the incense burner and then seriously looked at Ren Feifan, hesitating to speak.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Ren Feifan silently lit a cigarette, his tone somewhat indifferent.

The Swordsman Lord’s grave did not need their offerings!

Although Ren Feifan and the old leaders could not be considered archenemies, they found each other disagreeable.

Once upon a time, he had quite respected this elder, but that was before the incident at Crouching Dragon Villa.

All that was left of that regard had utterly disappeared!

The old leader sensed the tone of Ren Feifan and knew that this negotiation would be fraught with significant difficulties, but considering the critical moment for Huaxia, he had no choice but to proceed.

The recent battle still echoed in his mind.

He had actually known that such a battle would occur today.

Although he had never interfered—his interference would have been futile—he had foreseen the outcome.

At times he felt it was a pity that a genius like Ren Feifan was going to fall.

After all, it was impossible for Ren Feifan to challenge these old monsters of Huaxia—impossible even if he continued his cultivation for another ten years.

This is the ruthless reality of the Martial Arts world—power is king.

But now, the outcome was completely beyond his expectations.

What was once considered impossible was slowly becoming possible!

This youngster had, by his power alone, battled those renowned True Path Realm cultivators of Huaxia.

If this news were to spread, the name Ren Feifan would certainly resonate throughout the entire cultivator community.

With things having reached this point, the entire overt situation in Huaxia had completely changed.

Completely altered by this guy called Ren Feifan.

Without the protection of those old monsters, Huaxia might even become precarious. If those outside forces came to know of this, the consequences would be unthinkable!

"Master Ren, we have come to pay tribute to the Swordsman Lord," the old leader said earnestly.

Ren Feifan snorted coldly, replying with an indifferent "Oh" and then fell silent.

Paying respects?

He absolutely didn’t believe these people had such good intentions.

He guessed they claimed to come to pay respects, but their true intention was to discuss matters with him.

The intention behind the gesture was not the gesture itself.

Ren Feifan had no intention of engaging with them, but this made them anxious.

After a long time, the elderly leader frowned with embarrassment and said, "Master Ren, actually, besides paying respects, we wanted to talk to you about something else."

Ren Feifan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Talk to me? No, no, no, you’re flattering me too much. What merit or ability do I have to negotiate with you? Last time we talked, I almost got held back by you. Now, I’m traumatized by that, so no talking. You should leave, or I will."

Having said that, Ren Feifan prepared to head down the mountain.

The elderly leaders hurriedly followed, having resolved to shed their pride in seeking out Ren Feifan this time.

What’s face worth compared to the gravity of the situation!

"Master Ren, wait!"

Ren Feifan walked a few steps but then stopped.

The leaders behind him also halted their steps as if walking on thin ice.

"What exactly do you want? Just speak your mind, I don’t like being followed!" Ren Feifan said.

The elderly leader looked around before speaking, "Master Ren, this is not a proper place to discuss matters. How about we choose a quiet teahouse to talk further?"

Ren Feifan intended to refuse but then thought he had some questions for them, so he might as well have a chat.

After all, he was in a position of power now, and he wasn’t afraid of them in the slightest.

If they dared to play tricks, what of it!

...

After they descended the mountain, Ren Feifan got into the elderly leader’s red flag car, the atmosphere turned somewhat quiet.

Primarily because Ren Feifan closed his eyes, and although the elderly leader wanted to speak, he didn’t dare to disturb him.

The security officer drove the car and brought Ren Feifan to a teahouse in Capital City.

The teahouse was very quiet, surrounded by a bamboo forest, creating a tasteful ambiance.

The elderly leader took Ren Feifan to a private room. Upon opening the door, Ren Feifan saw three elderly men with white hair sitting inside, one of whom had a kindly face.

Ren Feifan raised an eyebrow, recognizing Elder Qiu who he had met not long ago.

The other two elderly men were naturally the monsters he had let go.

At that moment, Elder Qiu was skillfully preparing tea.

"Master Ren has finally arrived, ha ha."

Ren Feifan couldn’t really appreciate the flavor of tea—gulp after gulp, he drank several cups, leaving the men in front of him with dropped jaws in astonishment.

Logically speaking, a master of his calibre should at least savor the tea, but Ren Feifan treated it as if it were plain water.

With each cup that Ren Feifan drank, the leaders twitched at the corners of their mouths.

But they couldn’t say anything about it.

At this moment, the elderly leader looked at the Ren Feifan in front of him with mixed feelings. Although he didn’t want to bow his head to this young man, he had no choice but to do so.

"Master Ren, the reason I’ve brought everyone together is due to the safety issues concerning Huaxia’s future," the elderly leader tentatively started, still somewhat unable to set his pride aside, trying to approach the matter this way.

"What does the safety of Huaxia have to do with me? I’m just an ordinary citizen. Matters of such a high level should be the concern of these gentlemen here," Ren Feifan said, pointing at the elderly monsters and bluntly rejecting the suggestion.

As soon as these words were spoken, the elderly leader and Elder Qiu started sweating profusely from their foreheads. It was their first time seeing someone so strong-willed in front of high-ranking leaders!

But the crucial point was that Ren Feifan truly had the confidence to back it up.

The elderly leader wiped his sweat with a towel and continued, "The situation in Huaxia is far from as peaceful as you think, Master Ren. While a large-scale war is unlikely, secret forces from some countries are eyeing Huaxia greedily. Do you remember the Jade Token you obtained on Ice Ghost Island?"

Ren Feifan nodded, took a sip of tea, and stayed silent.

"Master Ren, the Jade Token is actually an entry ticket, one that we in Huaxia have never had before. But this time, you’ve got it, Master Ren, and that’s something Huaxia can be proud of."

"Save the high praise for someone else. What’s the matter? Just lay it out clearly!"

The elderly leader felt awkward, but he knew he was at a disadvantage. He set down his teacup, ready to carefully disclose the details:

"In recent years, there have been 112 conflicts, big and small, involving the mysterious forces around Huaxia, resulting in the loss of 72 cultivators from our lands. This includes 9 from the True Path Realm, 27 Innate experts, and 33 half-step Innates and peak Heavenly Rank masters."
