Urban All-Round Master

Lin Zifeng shook his head and gave a bitter smile, not bothering with her displeasure.

Walking along roads once familiar, starting from the Shadow Group, truth be told, the hardships of this journey could only be truly felt by him alone.

As he arrived at the villa where Nangong Bing resided in Zhonghai City, he lingered at the entrance, hesitant to enter. The villa was surrounded by imminent danger, as if the lurking members of the Shadow Group were ready to leap out and tear him to pieces the moment he stepped forward.

”It seems that since I’ve disappeared, my brothers have been quite concerned about my family,” Lin Zifeng said with a helpless smile.

Just as he shook his head and was about to enter the villa, two cold-faced men in black attire swiftly emerged from a small grove to the right of the villa.

”Stop!” an icy shout was heard, making Lin Zifeng’s body twitch twice.

How peculiar it was to be yelled at in his own home; if others knew about this, wouldn’t it be the joke of the century?

”Who are you?”

The first man approaching Lin Zifeng was a tall, robust man with a small mustache, his black outfit straining against his muscular build, clearly showing explosive power beneath.

The fierce aura directly pressed down on people. It was evident that he was an expert, a master at the Qi Dao Realm.

”I’m here to find someone.” Lin Zifeng responded with a smile, his appearance had quietly changed, they naturally wouldn’t recognize him. Even if his appearance hadn’t changed, very few from the Holy Hall had actually seen his true face, especially given the urgent circumstances. Who knew if the Demon God Sect might collude with others against the Holy Hall?

”Oh? Who are you looking for then?” The mustached man’s eyes narrowed, revealing a cold gleam, then nodded to signal, and the other black-clad man ran back, likely to call for reinforcements.

”I’m looking for someone important in my life.” Lin Zifeng smiled, saying, ”If possible, I’d like to go inside and have a look.”

”With just you? You want to go in and have a look?” The cold-faced man sneered at him, as his expression suddenly turned hostile.

Lin Zifeng was about to react strongly, but in the end, he held back his anger and didn’t reveal his true appearance.

Very soon, Black Hawk and Bu Chen hurriedly arrived, watching as this group of brothers rushed over hurriedly. His eyes were noticeably flushed.

”Hall Master Black, this is the person who wanted to enter the villa but was stopped by us.” The black-clad man who had earlier gone to report frowned, knowing the aura emanating from Lin Zifeng indicated he was a powerful master, prompting them to quickly seek help to prevent further loss.

After so many days apart, seeing Black Hawk for the first time made Lin Zifeng’s eyes slightly red. He wanted to rush forward and embrace his brother heavily, but ultimately he dismissed the idea.

If the Holy Hall was fraught with peril, Lin Zifeng feared revealing himself recklessly would prevent an all-encompassing sweep.

He contemplated that he might as well remain hidden, until the forces from the Demon God Sect genuinely threatened the Holy Hall, then he would appear to catch them all in one fell swoop, killing anyone who posed a threat to the Holy Hall.

Small impatience disrupts grand strategy.

For now, it’s best to hold back from exposing his true identity.

”Who are you?” Black Hawk approached him slowly, eyes narrowed like a tiger, scanning him but sensing nothing unusual.

Lin Zifeng smiled slightly, a shallow curve on his lips, glancing at Black Hawk with a smile, then said, ”An old acquaintance.”

”Old acquaintance? What old acquaintance?” Black Hawk furrowed his thick eyebrows, unsure what the man before him meant by ”old acquaintance.”

Though when Lin Zifeng spoke, Black Hawk’s heart skipped a beat, because there seemed to be a familiar tone in his voice, yet when he scrutinized him seriously, he thought it might be his imagination, or feelings stirred by Lin Brother.

”Haha, of course, I’m an old acquaintance of your Holy Hall’s master,” Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

”Oh? So you’re a friend of our master then?” Bu Chen glanced at him skeptically, his eyes flickering, and a flash of murderous intent vanished.

At this critical moment, anyone would be suspicious of a guy suddenly claiming to be Lin Zifeng’s old friend, especially with the Holy Hall under siege, it’s hard to distinguish friend from foe.

”We’ve met a few times, had some past dealings,” Lin Zifeng replied with a smile.

”So you’re considered a friend of our master?” Bu Chen’s eyes widened like a tiger, examining him closely.

Given the severe crisis the Holy Hall faced, he had to consider clearly for the Hall, or risk utter disaster!

”Whether I’m a friend, I can’t say for sure, but I’m definitely not an enemy.” Lin Zifeng was firm in his mind; at this moment, he couldn’t reveal his identity. He could entirely leverage his current identity to aid the Holy Hall, who would know that he was originally him? Moreover, who would know now, his power had reached the Saint Peak Stage, a mere half-step from Heavenly Tribulation?

”If you’re not an enemy, then you’re a friend of our Holy Hall. What brings you here then?” Bu Chen cautiously asked, judging from the faint aura from this unfamiliar man, he dared to conclude that this man’s cultivation strength was not weaker than his own, perhaps even comparable to their master, Lin Zifeng.

The Holy Hall had enough enemies already; he wouldn’t want to offend another at this time, so he tentatively engaged in conversation.

Lin Zifeng understood his thoughts all too well. Smiling, he said, ”I’m here to visit the wife of an old acquaintance.”

”Whoosh~”

Upon hearing this, Black Hawk, Bu Chen, and everyone else’s expression suddenly changed. Visit an old friend’s wife? What does that mean? Could he be here to steal the master’s wife?

”Hahaha... uh, sorry, I was too straightforward, don’t misunderstand, don’t keep anything under wraps either. I know the old acquaintance’s whereabouts, knowing his efforts to support the Holy Hall facing such peril, I just came to observe the situation. If the Holy Hall needs my help, naturally, I’ll lend a hand.”

Their pale expressions relaxed, understanding this wasn’t something one could easily say.
