The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 116

Chapter 116: WuFeng Town

Celestial level strength could be considered as someone at the peak on the Long Xiang Continent. Practitioners were subjected to restrictions in their training as there was a huge hurdle every four levels. So for practitioners, most of them were Sun level and below. Second to that were those in between Moon level and Spiritual level, especially the Spiritual level.

There were quite a few Spiritual level practitioners stuck at this huge hurdle all their lives because it was extremely difficult to breakthrough to Imperial level from Spiritual level. One may not even be able to find one in every ten people. So for those of Celestial level, below Spiritual level, as long as they didn’t come across someone of Spiritual level, they could act as a local tyrant.

This is why HunJi City’s leader could dominate areas, causing extreme fear in other forces.

He thought that at best, Ling Xiao would be of Star level strength. He didn’t expect that this time, he had eyes but did not see that what he thought was a rock was actually kicking such a hard piece of iron.

Even though they were both Celestial level, they could not be considered the same. The difference with each star level was significant. If there was no special magic weapon or life-saving move, it was impossible to challenge someone of higher rank. Especially since the difference between them was not just one star.

“City leader, this person’s strength is very high. looked like we can only withdraw.” That old manager from Magic Pill Central Workshop glanced at the far away Ling Xiao with dread in his eyes.

Tang Hun immediately rejected this suggestion, saying with a dark face, “No. If we retreat now, it would be even harder for us to find this person again. I must have the method to cultivate top grade magic herbs.”

As long he could get a hold of this method, sooner or later, there would be a day when he would be able to place himself above all the powerful people of Long Xiang Continent.

“But city leader, this person’s strength is so high. We couldn’t beat him relying on just the few of us.” The manager spoke hesitantly. Of course he knew how valuable the method of cultivating top grade magic herbs was. If this information were to get out, the people interested wouldn’t be just them. At that time, those hidden strong forces would also all come out. But in order to enjoy the benefits, one must still be alive.

“Of course we won’t win depending on just the few of us. But it was not just us here. The three strong forces must be very interested in the treasures on them. As long as…”

“Not in a hundred million years, city leader!” The manager didn’t wait for him to finish speaking and simply cut him off.

Tang Hun looked at him coldly, “Why not?”

The manager explained, “Think it over carefully city leader. The three strong forces are after the level eight demon beast egg and spiritual liquid. But what is our aim? We already have spiritual liquid. The level eight demon beast egg is something we put up for auction. This way, what other reason is there for us to kill them? So they will definitely be suspicious about our purpose. If they find out, the method for cultivating top grade magic herbs may not end up with us.”

Tang Hun considered for a moment. He couldn’t deny that there was some truth in what the manager said. So he said, “Now that the young man is hidden by him. We can only find him and make our move on him. Does manager have any ideas?”

The manager considered for a moment, and said, “City leader. Look like this time you can only bring out that thing. Only that can evade the eyes and perception of a Celestial strength practitioner.”

Tang Hun was momentarily stunned. He then frowned because that thing was his treasure. If it was not as a last resort, he wouldn’t bring it out, but looking at the current situation, he could only do it that way.

Not long after, the three strong forces sensed the withdrawal of one of the forces. Even though they were a little surprised that they gave up so easily, but thinking of the man’s strength, everyone felt their scalps go numb. A Five star Celestial level practitioner was not someone that they could provoke. If they had known earlier that the man was such a formidable practitioner, they would not have been so rash.

With the withdrawal of that group, Ji Le Sect also gave up. Although the level eight demon beast and spiritual water was very attractive, one must be alive to enjoy it. Mu YunTian’s strength was actually not bad and there weren’t many of his age that could match him. But right now, he was only at Moon level. Although the people he brought by his side were one step shy of Celestial level, compared to a genuine Celestial level practitioner, the difference in strength was not just one star.

With the withdrawal of Ji Le Sect, even if the Xiao Yao Sect and the Xue Sha Clan were to work together, their chance of winning was still not more than thirty percent.

Not long after that, the Xue Sha Clan also withdrew. Since they already lost a few strong men, if they were to lose a few more, it would be hard for them to justify it when they went back.

Mu Yao wanted to stomp her feet in anger. She could only leave together with Elder Yun helplessly, even though they urgently needed the spiritual liquid on that man.

After everyone left, Ling Xiao restrained his frightening aura. But if they knew that Ling Xiao’s real strength was not Celestial level but even higher, they would be running even faster.

His somewhat sharp eyes took a sweeping glance in all directions, making sure that there was no one left. Ling Xiao abruptly waved his hand in mid-air and suddenly a crack appeared. Soon after, someone tumbled out from the crack, falling right into Ling Xiao’s hands as he stood below.

If this scene were to be witnessed by Mu Yao and Elder Yun, the two of them would definitely turn pale with fright, and at the same time thanking their lucky stars that they were wise enough to give up.

“Wah. ” The one who fell from the crack was none other than You XiaoMo.

At this moment, his eyes were open wide in terror. His nerves were still frazzled as he looked at Ling Xiao who was holding him.

Ling Xiao already took off that dark sinister murderous air around him. He looked at You XiaoMo with a refined and elegant expression, the corner of his lips slightly rising, revealing a teasing smile, “Xiao Shidi, are you thinking that I’m especially handsome and cool today, leaving you stunned?”

You XiaoMo felt like giving that handsome and cool face a tight slap but that was not the important point.

Ling Xiao suddenly said, “Xiao Shidi. Right now, do you feel like really giving me a tight slap?”

You XiaoMo pouted slightly. Just when he wanted to ask how he knew, he quickly swallowed down those few words he almost spit out with all his strength. He blinked innocently, “Ling-shixiong, did you already send those bad people running?”

“Yes, couldn’t you tell by looking?” Ling Xiao smiled.

You XiaoMo took a look around, his stomach turning over. No wonder he felt that there was a bloody smell in the air. With Ling Xiao at the center, all around were severed limbs. There was also ten or so dried up corpses. These people seemed to have died very tragically. What the hell is this? He still hadn’t had lunch!

Ling Xiao raised his head and looked at the sun hanging in the sky. He laughed while saying, “Xiao Shidi. Let’s quickly get back on the road. It’d be best if we reach a city or small town before noon. This way, we would be just in time for lunch.”

Saying this, he simply hugged You XiaoMo tightly. With one leap, they disappeared into the vast mist leaving behind a futile sentence of rather tearful, teeny, tiny protests, which lingered behind accompanying the corpses filling the ground for a bit before fading.

“I don’t … ”

Most people would go through WuFeng town when leaving the WuFeng mountain range because it was on the edge of the range. Although it was called a town, the area of WuFeng town was actually the same as HunJi City. Furthermore, this place was not under any force. It was a town where one could enter and exit freely.

Ling Xiao carried You XiaoMo until right outside WuFeng town. At this time, the sun was right at midday, the time for lunch that he mentioned before. He then put down You XiaoMo who was filled with resentment.

“Xiao Shidi. Look. We have reached WuFeng town.” Ling Xiao patted him lightly on the head.

You XiaoMo ignored him and went ahead to evaluate WuFeng town.

Speaking about this, when they were going to HunJi City, they also passed through WuFeng town. But that time they didn’t stay long, so You XiaoMo didn’t have a deep impression of the place but this city was very chaotic because no one managed it. So things like fighting, looting, highway robbery and such were all quite common.

The two of them were just about to enter WuFeng town when two people suddenly rushed out from the originally unguarded entrance. One tall, one short, looking rather wretched. Furthermore, they had buckteeth. One of the yellow bucktooth people was especially hideous. But their strength was not too sad, both of Sun level strength. Right now they were looking at You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao with vicious and evil expressions.

The short one’s wretched gaze gave You XiaoMo a once over. He then smiled darkly, “Starting from today, everyone that goes in and out of WuFeng town must hand over a passage fee.”

“But we clearly didn’t have to the last time.” You Xiao exclaimed in surprise. He couldn’t be mistaken. At that time he was vomiting in the carriage and Ling Xiao didn’t ask him for money.

The short one grinned while saying, “It’s required starting from today. But since this is your first time paying, let me tell you some good news. This WuFeng town is now a territory of Wolf Fang Gang from today onwards. After entering, you better be careful of how you act. Otherwise, you better watch out for your little life.”

Wolf Fang Gang?

You XiaoMo was dumbfounded. He didn’t mishear. Wolf Fang Gang’s leader seemed to have been killed by Ling Xiao a few days ago. How come they had not disbanded but instead forcibly occupied WuFeng town? And they were asking for a passage fee. You XiaoMo turned around and glanced at Ling Xiao. Forget it, it was better they didn’t look for trouble.

“Fine. So how much per person?”

“Two hundred gold coins.” The short one laughed while speaking.

“Why don’t you just go and rob us?” You XiaoMo was just about to take out his hand from his magic bag when he suddenly stopped. Give me a break. HunJi City only collected two gold coins. And here they wanted two hundred coins? That was just highway robbery. He no longer planned to hand it over, after all, they already had bad blood with Wolf Fang Gang.

The face of the short one darkened in an instant. The tall one at his side also started to look at them darkly and coldly.

“Since you prefer to drink as punishment rather than drink a toast, I’ll fulfill your wishes.” The short one sneered as he said hatefully. Then together with the tall one, they each held up a sharp knife in their hand as they rushed towards them from both sides, cutting downwards. Dare to resist the rules laid down by Wolf Fang Gang? That’s death for you. Just nice, we can take the two of you to serve as killing the chicken to warn the monkey.

“Bang! Bang!”

One tall, one short, the two figures suddenly vomited fresh blood, their faces deathly pale as their bodies struck heavily on the gate posts of WuFeng town. When they fell back down, their necks were crooked, dead as dodos!

The people all around that were watching the drama were shocked senseless. Two Sun level practitioners beat to death by just one fist. Then they looked on in shock as the two people walked into WuFeng town.
