C1381 It Was a Coincidence
Xu Feng looked at the two corpses with satisfaction. He nodded his head and disappeared into the void once again, heading towards his next destination.
The attack that night went very smoothly. The guards in the three directions in the northwest and east were all killed by Xu Feng. As for the remaining guards in the east gate, four of them were guarding it, and they were quite strong. After thinking for a while, Xu Feng decided not to attack.
When the sun was about to rise, Xu Feng had finished his' journey 'for the whole night. He turned around and returned to his residence. After washing up, he slept soundly as a reward to himself.
The sky soon lit up, and the sun rose as usual. The originally lively Soaring Fire City had been killed because of the guards. It became even livelier, and the entire Soaring Fire City was in an uproar. The news spread like wildfire. In just one morning, the news spread like wildfire. Everyone in Soaring Fire City knew about this.
One should know that the Soaring Fire City was the territory of the Ling family. To think that someone would dare to kill someone in front of the Ling family's eyes. This was no different from committing a crime. Everyone was trying to guess who the person who killed the guards of the Ling family was.
At noon, Xu Feng woke up. As soon as he stepped out of the inn, he heard people discussing amongst themselves.
"Tell me, how strong is the person who killed the guards of the Ling family last night? Six people were killed without anyone noticing. The Ling family only found out early in the morning how strong he was! "
"Not necessarily. Maybe there are a few of them?"
"I think so too. Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare to kill the guards at the front gate? I don't think it's anything special! "
...
There were countless of such words. Wherever they went, people would say... In short, this matter had become more and more mysterious to the public. Among them, some believed that the murderer was extremely powerful, and some believed that the murderer knew how to assassinate. There were also a few people with extraordinary strength. Of course, there were also some who thought that it was Xu Feng.
Xu Feng was happy to hear such a rumor, but his face remained calm.
On this day, Xu Feng quietly observed for a day in a teahouse outside the Ling family.
After what happened last night, the number of guards in the Ling family had increased. Even the people on the road had to be inspected. Xu Feng, who was wearing a mask, wasn't afraid of being interrogated by these people. Even those who were familiar with him might not be able to recognize him. Not to mention them.
"Shopkeeper, give me a pot of superior Silver Needle Tea!"
Around noon, a voice was heard. It was full of energy. Xu Feng turned around and saw an "old acquaintance."
This person was none other than Ling Ruijie's son, the second genius, Ling Hwa, second only to Tuoba Qian.
Such a thing had happened in the family. He did not expect that he would still be in the mood to have afternoon tea here.
However, Xu Feng didn't see Yingying, which made him worry about her. After all, he was the one who entrusted Yingying to the Ling family. If anything happened to her, he would have to bear some responsibility.
"Young Master Ling, is everything alright in the family?"
The shopkeeper personally served tea and asked in a soft voice. Ling Hwa wasn't angry at all. He nodded. "A few experts have died. It is not a small loss to us. However, if you dare to cause trouble in our Ling family, we will not let you off lightly! "
After saying that, Ling Hwa's eyes flickered with a cold light, causing the shopkeeper to be secretly shocked. After he served the tea, he took his leave.
After not seeing him for a while, Ling Hwa had changed a lot. His Qi had become more stable, and his cultivation base had also reached the Early Period of Void Initiation Stage.
It was already very rare for someone at his age to reach the Void Initiation Stage. One had to admit that Ling Hwa's achievement was indeed worthy of being called a genius.
Of course, there was still a huge gap between him and Xu Feng. At least, Xu Feng could kill six cultivators who were stronger than him without any bloodshed. If it was Ling Hwa, he wouldn't be able to do it.
"Brother Hua, you're here!"
After a while, another voice was heard. It was Yingying, who Xu Feng had been worried about. She had a happy smile on her face as she sat next to Ling Hwa, looking happy.
Seeing her like this, Xu Feng felt relieved. At least she was safe now.
In the past, Xu Feng thought that Ling Hwa was a trustworthy person, but as the saying goes, like father, like son. Now, Xu Feng didn't dare to believe Ling Hwa so easily.
"Why aren't you staying at home? The Soaring Fire City has been chaotic these few days, don't run around!"
She looked at Yingying with a pampering expression, stroked her head, and said gently. The current Ling Hwa and the previous Ling Hwa who had a bright light in his eyes were like the difference between heaven and earth. The two of them looked like they were in love.
"I can't stand it, Brother Hua!"
Yingying's smile gradually faded. She leaned against Ling Hwa's ear and said softly, "They all said that Mr. Feng has returned. Is that true?"
When Yingying was in a dire situation in Tuoba family, it was Xu Feng who saved her from it. She knew a lot about the relationship between Xu Feng and the Ling family, so she was naturally worried about Xu Feng.
"It's just some rumors. Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
Ling Hwa forced a smile and comforted Yingying. Yingying continued, "Brother Hua, Yingying, I'm begging you. Go and beg the patriarch for mercy. Don't make things difficult for Xu Feng!"
What Xu Feng didn't expect was that Yingying would actually think for him. Although Ling Hwa might not listen, sometimes feelings were also very important.
"Ai!"
Ling Hwa let out a long sigh and slowly said, "Yingying, it's not that I don't want to, but what father has decided to do, I can't control it..."
"Alright!"
Yingying pouted and did not say anything else. Because she knew that Ling Hwa would definitely not decline anything that could help her. Since he had already said so, there was no other way. She didn't need to continue this topic.
"Don't be unhappy, Yingying. I'll try to talk to father!"
Ling Hwa gently hugged Yingying and said softly. When Xu Feng heard this, he could not help but have a better impression of Ling Hwa. At least, from what he saw, Ling Hwa was not as crazy as his father.
After staying in the teahouse for a day and seeing that the sun was about to set, Xu Feng got up and prepared to leave.
"Brother Hua, that person... gave me a very familiar feeling!"
After walking past the two people, Yingying's voice sounded from behind. When Xu Feng heard her, his heart moved, but his face remained calm as he continued walking.
Looking at Xu Feng's back as he left, Ling Hwa did not feel anything special. "Or someone from the Tuoba family?"
"Probably!"
Yingying thought about it and whispered softly. Xu Feng also quickly left the teahouse.
One. A person's appearance could be changed, and their behavior could also be deliberately changed. However, if one didn't have a special cultivation technique, it would be difficult to change one's body shape.
Ying Ying could sense Xu Feng's familiarity through his back. This was indeed out of Xu Feng's expectation. Fortunately, Ling Hwa did not continue pursuing this matter. Otherwise, his identity might really be exposed.
"I was a little careless!"
After returning to his residence, Xu Feng removed the Quickly Carving Mask from his face and said softly with a smile.
He hadn't been with Yingying for a long time, so of course he wasn't familiar with her. It was indeed out of Xu Feng's expectations that she could recognize him.
Or perhaps, bringing Yingying out of the Tuoba family was just a small matter to Xu Feng. Yingying was just a person who wasn't that important in Xu Feng's life.
However, to Yingying, Xu Feng was her saviour. She would never forget Xu Feng's kindness. It was only natural that she would leave a deep impression on Xu Feng.
...
The night fell once again. The lively Soaring Fire City gradually calmed down. However, after what happened yesterday, it was already midnight. There were people in Soaring Fire City who were paying attention to the situation in Ling family. To be precise, they were paying attention to Xu Feng.
The killers of Ling family had become the hottest topic in Soaring Fire City. Their attention was even more heated than the fated people in the Ambergris. They all wanted to know. The man who was hiding in the dark and challenging the dignity of the Ling family... Who exactly was he?
"The night has begun! Tonight will be even more exciting!"
Xu Feng pushed open the window and looked at the dark Soaring Fire City. He disappeared into the night sky once again, heading towards the direction of the Ling family.2
It was still at the main entrance. The four guards changed into a group of people. This time, however, their faces were solemn. They were no longer playing around the previous day. Instead, they vigilantly observed their surroundings. Any movement of the wind and grass was hidden under their eyes.
Looking at their expressions, Xu Feng secretly laughed in his heart. These people had finally attached some importance to him, but it was useless. He still had to do what he needed to do.
Death was just a nod to the ground, but what Xu Feng needed to do was... It was far more than that. He wanted Ling Ruijie to know that he had offended Xu Feng. It wasn't something that could be settled so easily. He wanted to know what the Ling family had done to him in the past. Ten times the amount!
The Aura of Heaven and Earth covered an area of a hundred miles. Xu Feng had a clear understanding of the situation around him. He even knew how many cultivators there were.
Very quickly, Xu Feng arrived at the north gate again. Last night, the massacre started from the north gate, and it was the same tonight.
The air was filled with seriousness. Xu Feng slowly appeared in the void. As soon as he appeared, the two guards noticed him. In Ling family, there were also many people who rushed over. Among them was Ling Ruijie and his son.
"Stop right there!"
The two guards shouted in unison. At the same time, they drew out their swords and pointed them at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng naturally did not continue to walk forward. He stood fifty meters away from the two of them. His blurred facial features were twisted, making him look even more sinister in the night.
"He has appeared!"
Many of the practitioners who were watching secretly saw Xu Feng. All of their eyes were focused on Xu Feng's face. They wanted to see Xu Feng's face clearly, but unfortunately... With the help of the Quickly Carving Mask, no matter what kind of divine ability they had... There was nothing they could do.
"Kekekeke..."
Xu Feng's voice sounded very gloomy and his laughter made people's scalps tingle. "Yesterday, it was also at this time that your companion fell at your feet. Tonight, you will also fall because of your bad luck!"
After saying that, Xu Feng's laughter gradually became louder and turned back in the darkness for a long time.
