756: C756 The Mysterious Old Man

C756 The Mysterious Old Man

After resolving the matter of the village, Xu Feng left this isolated place.

When he left, everyone in the village was sending him off. Lan Yuhann followed Xu Feng all the way with teary eyes.

Although Xu Feng had become his master, in Lan Yuhann's heart... Xu Feng was like a big brother, caring for him. It made him feel like he was being protected. It was not something that his parents could give him.

"Go back! I'll wait for you to come and find me!"

Xu Feng also liked this nominal disciple very much. After waving his hand, he drifted away.

Three days later, he once again stepped into the Sunset City. The Green Lotus Sword was obtained by Loong Tianxing, and the cultivators here had gradually dispersed.

After letting out a sigh, Xu Feng walked towards Jin Youcai's mansion. What surprised Xu Feng was that Ling Shihong was also here.

"Manager Jin, I didn't do what I promised you, and I won't take your Essence Crystal!"

Xu Feng took out the Essence Crystal and placed it in front of Jin Youcai. His attitude was very firm, and Jin Youcai had refused at the beginning. However, he couldn't bear Xu Feng's temper, so he could only keep it. However, he told Xu Feng that he was going to make friends with Xu Feng.

Actually, Xu Feng wasn't really familiar with Jin Youcai. Although he promised Jin Youcai, he still kept a trace of caution in his heart.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't have the intention to harm others, and one must always be wary of others. Xu Feng knew this principle very well. He didn't know what Jin Youcai's purpose in getting close to him was, but Xu Feng had to be wary of him.

After all, he had set up a trap in his building. Didn't he want Xu Feng to owe him a favor?

"Shihong, the people of Chu family didn't make things difficult for you?

After settling the matter regarding Jin Youcai, Xu Feng and Ling Shihong walked on the street and asked curiously.

Logically speaking, Ling Shihong was the legitimate descendant of Chu Bawang. Chu Yunxiang would target Ling Shihong even more crazily, but Ling Shihong was not injured at all, which made him feel strange.

"It's Boss Jin!"

After pondering for a while, Ling Shihong said slowly, "After you guys fell off the cliff that day, many cultivators came for the inheritance in my body. I resisted bitterly and ran back to Sunset City until Boss Jin appeared..."

"He defeated everyone by himself?"

Xu Feng was shocked. If that was the case, Jin Youcai's strength was too terrifying. Fortunately, Ling Shihong shook his head.

He said in a low voice, "They didn't attack. Everyone has stopped, including the four patriarchs and the Chu family. None of them dared to attack Jin Youcai. They just left like that!"

"What?!"

It would be a lie if they weren't shocked. Who were the four patriarchs, Chu Yunxiang, and all of them were from the Southern Ridge. Each of their gestures could shake the entire Southern Ridge. But now, they were scared away by Jin Youcai?

This obviously didn't make sense.

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have believed it!"

Ling Shihong nodded his head solemnly and said with certainty once again.

"Tell me, do you think they are afraid of Jin Youcai's strength or what they are afraid of?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Feng asked with some apprehension. If such a terrifying person didn't have any ill intentions towards them, it wouldn't be a problem. But if they wanted to kill them, he was afraid that they wouldn't even know how they died.

"I'm afraid it's the people behind him. Jin Youcai's strength isn't strong, but he possesses such a powerful wealth. He doesn't even put a hundred million Essence Crystal in his eyes. It's unrealistic to say that he has no one backing him!"

Ling Shihong had lived in Jin Prefecture for a period of time, so he was quite familiar with Jin Youcai. However, he was absolutely unhappy. Although it was a magnificent palace... However, Ling Shihong was on tenterhooks. He didn't even dare to sleep at night.

"Scary! Truly too terrifying! Before figuring out Chu Jin's identity, we'd better not get too close to him!"

After making up their minds, the two of them returned to Jin Prefecture. They used the excuse that they had important matters to attend to and left Sunset City.

Jin Youcai tried to persuade him to stay, but there was no trace of conspiracy on his face. Xu Feng didn't dare to say anything. He fled in a hurry and left the Sunset City not long after.

Thinking back, during the time he came to Sunset City, he was tricked by Jin Youcai's restaurant and almost got tricked by Loong Tianxing again. Then, they stayed with Lu Lee in Qingxin Village for a period of time and took in a little disciple.

Putting aside the matter of the village, the thing that puzzled him the most was the words that the Black Clothed Man had said to him. It was as if everything had been planned by him, as if everything had gone according to their expectations.

"Mr. Feng, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Xu Feng in a daze, Ling Shihong could not help but ask. Seeing that Xu Feng did not respond, he called out a few more times.

"No, did you see Loong Tianxing? And Lu Lee?"

Shaking his head, Xu Feng asked again, but to his disappointment, Ling Shihong did not see the two of them.

Speaking of Loong Tianxing, Xu Feng became more and more interested in his identity. He went to rob graves and dig up people's ancestral graves. He had offended many people. However, every time he succeeded in escaping, especially the strength he displayed when he was fighting Lu Lee. It had greatly exceeded his expectations.

How could such a person be pursued by those weak practitioners back in Ghost Market?

It was impossible for him to reach such a level in just a few months' time.

This Loong Tianxing had a lot of information on him!

After getting rid of the thoughts in his mind, Xu Feng could not think too much about it. After parting with Ling Shihong, Xu Feng headed towards the direction of Ghost Market.

He could not get any information about Lu Lee and Qiu Mingyang, but he wanted to investigate One Smile's information about Loong Tianxing, as well as Jin Youcai's information. He wanted to investigate as well.

He flew for ten days. Along the way, he was surrounded by many family members. Xu Feng killed them without hesitation. Ten days later, he stepped into the desert of Ghost Market once again.

Ever since the last time, Zhao Loong had made a gate card for Xu Feng to enter Ghost Market. Therefore, Xu Feng did not need Zhao Loong's help this time.

"Xu Feng, is it? Come here!"

Strangely, when Xu Feng stepped into the underground world, an old man walked over with a crutch in his hand. His face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were closed. He spoke slowly.

"How do you know about me?"

This old man was definitely not the same old man that Zhao Loong had come with the last time. However, he knew about him, which made people vigilant.

"Just follow me!"

The old man shut his mouth and didn't say anything. He brought Xu Feng and shuttled back and forth in the Ghost Market. Among these people, he saw many "acquaintances." They were either from the Mei family or the Xia family. Obviously, they recognized Xu Feng. However, the Ghost Market had its own rules, even if they were unconvinced. They couldn't make a move at this moment.

Very quickly, the old man brought Xu Feng into a simple and crude house. He put his walking stick on the ground and then... A golden light spread out from the ground and covered the entire house. Xu Feng could feel that this golden light was a seal. It completely isolated the house from the outside world.

Not knowing the purpose of the old man, Xu Feng's heart immediately tensed up. He secretly circulated his Yuan energy, ready to fight at any time.

Xu Feng was extremely sensitive to unfamiliar environments, especially when there was a strange old man in front of him. At least, Xu Feng would not let his guard down until he knew the purpose of the old man.

"Hehe... Young man, don't be too nervous!"

The old man chuckled and gestured for Xu Feng to sit down. However, Xu Feng did not move. He did not mind. He paused for a moment and continued, "Someone asked me to give you this thing!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a Jade Slip from his bosom and threw it gently onto Xu Feng's hands.

"Who gave it to you? Also, what's your name?"

Worried that there might be a trap, Xu Feng did not immediately merge the Divine Sense into the Jade Slip. Instead, he asked cautiously.

However, the old man shook his head and continued, "I'm just an old man who can send messages. My name is my codename. It's useless even if you know about it. Don't worry, my strength isn't even comparable to yours!"2

"Mysterious God!"

Xu Feng put down the doubts in his heart and slowly inserted a trace of Divine Sense into it. There were not many words inside, only three words - Lonely Eagle Ridge!

"Senior, who gave you this Jade Slip?"

First it was Sunset City, and now it was Solitary Falcon Ridge. It was as if Xu Feng's every step and action had been predicted. This feeling was very bad. He had to find out who was controlling all of this.

Although he wasn't injured during his trip to the Sunset City, it didn't mean that there was no danger. Every movement and action of his was seen by others. It was as if he had taken off his clothes and was walking on the street, making him feel insecure.

"I can't say. Alright, you can leave now!"

The old man put away his walking stick, formed a seal and disappeared. Then, he slowly walked into the inner chambers.

"Senior!"

Xu Feng chased after him, but found that the old man was nowhere to be seen. The entire house was empty. Everything that had happened just now was like a dream, extremely surreal.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Feng was still holding the Jade Slip, Xu Feng wouldn't have believed the old man who just appeared. What was even stranger was that when he wanted to recall the old man's appearance... He couldn't remember the old man's face clearly.

"Could it be that I really saw a ghost during the day?"

Xu Feng underestimated him in his heart. But at this moment, on Xu Feng's arm, there was a blue light shining. It was Chiang Nu's lonely soul, which had not moved at all.

"Young master, I can feel that the old man just now is the same species as me..."

Chiang Nu's words shocked Xu Feng. This time, he really saw a ghost during the day. He didn't dare to stay any longer. After putting away the Jade Slip, he quickly left the house.

What he didn't see was that after he left, the strange old man appeared in the small house once again. His eyes were open, and there was a trace of a smile on his face.

"Impossible. I am so close to him. If he was a soul, how could I not notice? Furthermore, I could clearly feel that he has a physical body..."

Xu Feng turned around and looked at the dilapidated house. He muttered to himself. In the end, he did not take another look and quickly left this strange place.
