Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 559: Chapter 28 Conflict

These four wanted to drive Lin Feng away for various reasons, with Jin Zhehan being purely motivated by jealousy.

Had it not been for Qiu Hanying’s presence, he would have even thought about killing Lin Feng to eliminate the threat.

Wu He, Wang Lin, and Qi Yixi, on the other hand, were eager to claim credit for themselves.

...

Before heading into the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, Qiu Hanying’s mother had instructed her fellow disciples to look after Qiu Hanying.

After Qiu Hanying went missing, these people were terrified, knowing that if anything serious happened to her, many would suffer upon their return. Now, having been the first to find Qiu Hanying and ensuring her safe return, they saw it as a great achievement.

When Qiu Hanying’s mother became happy, any reward she might give could greatly benefit them.

Naturally, they wanted to drive away Lin Feng, an outsider.

With one more person, there would be another share of the credit.

Furthermore, seeing how close Lin Feng was with Qiu Hanying, it was possible that Lin Feng might also join the Nine-star Mountain. If this guy truly joined and merely spoke a few words near Qiu Hanying, all credit could be taken by him.

Thinking of this, a chill rose in their hearts.

...

Having heard the cold words of these four, Lin Feng’s expression had already turned grim.

He coldly said, ”Are you done speaking? If so, please leave and don’t disturb my rest.”

”Can’t you understand human speech? Must we resort to force? Don’t be shameless when we’re offering you respect; we’re not people of low cultivation that you can afford to offend.”

Jin Zhehan coldly stated.

”What are you doing?” At that moment, the voice of Qiu Hanying came from not too far away.

”Ah, it’s nothing.”

Upon seeing Qiu Hanying, Jin Zhehan and the others slightly changed their expressions and hurriedly put on a different face.

They coldly glanced at Lin Feng, their looks full of threats.

However, Lin Feng simply ignored their gazes.

Some people always think too highly of themselves.

”Brother Feng, Hanying couldn’t sleep,” Qiu Hanying approached Lin Feng and sat beside him.

The mountain breeze brought a hint of coolness, and the young girl leaned into Lin Feng’s embrace.

Having gone through life and death, Qiu Hanying had grown very reliant on Lin Feng, and even intimate contact no longer made her as shy as before.

Lin Feng smiled and said, ”If you can’t sleep, you could look at the stars in the sky.”

Qiu Hanying looked up and said, ”There are so many stars.”

”Yes, so many stars,” Lin Feng squinted his eyes, gazing towards the world in outer space.

That was the place he yearned for infinitely.

It was also the motivation for his relentless cultivation.

Because his mother was still suppressed in the deepest part of the Starry Sky World by the Nine Heavens Lost God Coffin.

...

Three days later, Lin Feng and the others arrived at the trading area.

This trading area was large, and many cultivators would come here to trade, where one could always find some good items.

As it happened, some people would always be lucky enough to make significant gains within the Thunder Blade Secret Realm.

When Lin Feng and his group arrived, Qiu Hanying’s senior sister and the others had not yet reached, so they began wandering around the trading area.

”Is this a piece of Cold Iron Stone?”

Qi Yixi asked.

The stall owner nodded and said, ”Yes, it is Cold Iron Stone. If you want it, you can take it for one thousand high-grade Spirit Stones.”

”One thousand?” Qi Yixi’s eyes widened. She could manage to bring out a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, but as for high-grade Spirit Stones, let alone one thousand, she couldn’t even produce a hundred.

However, Qi Yixi cultivated the Cold Ice Attribute cultivation technique. If she forged a magical artifact with this Cold Iron Stone, her combat power would significantly increase. Qi Yixi wondered if she could borrow some Spirit Stones from a few others.

But at that moment, a young nobleman, accompanied by two followers, walked over and tossed a bag of Spirit Stones, containing one thousand one hundred high-grade Spirit Stones, saying, ”I’ll take this Cold Iron Stone.”

The stall owner checked the bag and immediately beamed with joy, handing over the Cold Iron Stone to the young nobleman.

This young nobleman was thin, with a cultivation not very high, possessing only the strength of the First Layer Heaven of the Martial King Realm, and had swollen eyes and unsteady steps as if indulgence in sensory pleasures had depleted his body.

”This Cold Iron Stone was the one I saw first, and even buying things should respect the order of arrival,” Qi Yixi said, somewhat angrily.

The young nobleman turned his head to look at Qi Yixi, his eyes suddenly brightening.

Nice, a foxy little girl.

He walked over to Qi Yixi with the Cold Iron Stone, smiled, and said, ”Want the Cold Iron Stone? Easy, just sleep with this young master.”

As he finished speaking, he slapped Qi Yixi’s perky buttocks hard.

”You filthy rogue.”

Qi Yixi screamed, and slapped him across the face, smacking—the slap landed on the young nobleman’s face.

”Slut, dare to strike me? Do you know who I am?” the young nobleman shouted angrily.

”I don’t care who you are, my slap was meant for you.”

Wang Lin had been pursuing Qi Yixi, but she had not agreed yet.

Seeing Qi Yixi being harassed, Wang Lin was not angry but rather felt secretly delighted.

He thought, ”Kid, you’re unlucky today. I’ll teach you a harsh lesson, show off in front of Qi Yixi, and once she sees me acting all powerful, maybe she will agree to my advances.”

With this thought, Wang Lin fiercely kicked the young nobleman in the stomach, bang—the young nobleman was kicked to the ground, wailing in pain.

”Dare to hit our young master, you’re looking for death.” The two guards shouted angrily and charged forward.

”Merely at the Third Layer Heaven of the Martial King Realm and you dare to make a move in front of us? You don’t know the meaning of death.”

...

Jin Zhehan and Wu He rushed forward with a sneer and easily dealt with the two guards.

”You dare hit me, I’ll make you regret it.”

The young nobleman shouted angrily.

”Kid, you’ll make us regret it? What are you? Do you know who we are? We are disciples of Nine-star Mountain,” Wang Lin sneered repeatedly and kicked again.

Many people gasped, realizing that this group was from Nine-star Mountain, a famously powerful sect. Everyone looked at Wang Lin and the others with a look of awe.

The beaten young nobleman continued to shout, ”Just you wait, if you don’t kill me, I will kill you.”

”Heh, quite arrogant. Well then, today I’ll kill you first,” Wang Lin scoffed and proceeded to kick the young nobleman repeatedly.

”Stop hitting him,” Qiu Hanying said.

Qi Yixi spoke, ”Junior sister Hanying, don’t be afraid. These cats and dogs dare to bully us, thinking that the people of Nine-star Mountain are easy targets? If we don’t establish our authority today, anyone will think they can ride over us.”

Lin Feng coolly watched the unfolding conflict, which had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, noticing a group of cultivators swiftly approaching from outside the crowd.

”Three at the Ninth Level of Martial King Realm, one at the Tenth Level of Martial King Realm, and the rest are also in the Martial King Realm, wearing the same style of clothing as the beaten guy. These people are accomplices, and that beaten guy’s identity is definitely not simple.”

Seeing those people, Lin Feng frowned slightly. This was problematic; it seemed like the people from Nine-star Mountain had stirred up a hornet’s nest.
