Chapter 133: Enter

A group of people walked into the small cave with serious expressions. No one dared to obstruct their way. “Old Wu, who was that kid just now?” Nie Hai asked. Everyone in the Nie family knew that although Wu Zhong Xing looked friendly and amiable, he was actually an extremely proud person. Not many people could gain the approval of this strict old man.
“He’s the keeper of this generation. That lad is not bad,” Wu Zhong Xing replied without even turning his head.
The manner with which this old fellow carried himself was miles apart from his behavior when he was with Nie Yun. Every move of his was filled with grandeur and power!
“Oh.”
Nie Hai nodded lightly. Since it’s just a mansion keeper, there was no need to pay him any more attention. At the same time, he did not take offense at Wu Zhong Xing’s tone.
Although Wu Zhong Xing was only an attendant in the Nie family, that was only in name. In actual fact, he and the old grand master had a relationship which was as close as brothers. Even the current family head had to greet him respectfully as elder!
“Looks like the rumored birth of the Primordial Heavenly Tree this time had gathered all the big families and clans from the entire Southwest of the country! Some of the reclusive clans who had hidden themselves away from the world for many years had also appeared!” Nie Hai mumbled with shock as he looked at various small cliques of old monsters.
“That’s the old taoist from Mt. Longhu of the Danxia region! According to the rumors, he was apparently already an Evolved Jing middle stage expert about 20 years ago; so even he had come down from the mountain this time!”
“Those guys over there with iron swords on their backs are also not a bunch of simple people. It is said that there’s nobody their 3-foot Qingfeng swords cannot slay! They’re a large clan with several centuries of heritage! That clan sat at the height of power and splendor during the Ming dynasty period!” [ED/N: Chinese foot, 1/3 of a meter]
“Even the people from Wuji Sect had appeared! Aren’t they afraid that the Wudang Sect will come and settle their old scores with them?”
The founder of Wuji Sect was a man of wonder. In his youth, he had apprenticed himself to Wudang Sect to learn martial arts. Later on, he secretly learned the secret art [Taiji Mixed Yuan Palm] and betrayed the Wudang Sect. Using the [Taiji Mixed Yuan Palm] as the basis, he created his own [Wuji Palm]!
The [Wuji Palm] took the underlying concept behind [Taiji Mixed Yuan Palm] and simply ran in the completely opposite direction. Unlike the [Taiji Mixed Yuan Palm], the strikes in [Wuji Palm] were all sharp and quick like lightning. Every strike was designed to kill in one hit. It was an extremely brutal and merciless technique!
Everyone had their own thoughts as they observed the people around them. Just the news of the discovery of a divine tree which could possibly be a Primordial Heavenly Tree had drawn out so many great powers!
The man in charge of Hyde Biological Technologies chuckled coldly as he looked at the people holding cold weapons and walking about. “What era are we in already? Who are they trying to scare with a knife?”
His voice might not be loud, but it was sufficient for everyone around him to hear. A number of people immediately turned around to stare coldly at him.
Hearing the fellow from Hyde Biological Technologies speaking down to them like that, as if he was extremely familiar with their origins, many snorted coldly in return. “Hmph! Idiot who doesn’t know life from death!”
Even the other big corporations also looked over at the people from Hyde Biological Technologies with disdain.
“Rich upstarts will always be rich upstarts. People like that won’t even know how they died on their deathbed!”
Those big corporations had a look as if they were gloating over the misfortune of others.
At this moment, a series of loud banging noises could be heard from the cave. Huge chunks of rocks were transported out and the numerous experts immediately turned their attention to the cave as they waited silently.
If not for the fear of accidentally hurting the Primordial Heavenly Tree, they would have already inserted a few sticks of dynamite and blown everything apart!
This wait lasted all the way until night. The excited villagers who had gathered outside to watch a show had all left long ago. The only thing they got to see all day long was just people bringing stone out of a cave the entire day. In just a short while, many people had grown bored and left for their homes in small groups to eat and rest.
“We’ve dug through it! There’s such a large space inside! The belly of the mountain is actually completely hollowed out!”
Numerous gasps of shock drifted out of the cave. Those who were standing alertly by the cave or those who were sitting down cross-legged immediately jumped to their feet and dashed towards the cave!
“Quick! Hurry up and charge in!” The man in charge of the Hyde Biological Technologies party barked as he commanded the men behind him to enter the cave.
“AH!”
“No!”
Various wretched cries sounded out as a large number of experts squeezed through the cave together. Only a few people were left to stand guard at the entrance. In the confusion, the people from Hyde Biological Technologies were all taken out in less than 20 seconds!
Each one of them was sporting outrageous wounds. Although they were not dead, they could only lay on the ground groaning while everyone else continued the exploration.
“How dare you! We’re from Hyde!” The leading man from Hyde cried dully. The people he’d brought were all powerful and shady underground boxers. But they were all taken out so easily! They had not even touched the cave before the entire group was wiped out!
A group of police officers on standby hurriedly ran forth with a set of previously prepared stretchers and took the injured people away.
“Hyde? Never heard of it. Try running your mouth again and I’ll make you lie down with them!”
One of the men laughed scornfully as he stepped back out of the cave.
Hai Dalong looked at the indifferent officers who were calmly carrying all the injured people away and immediately felt even more incensed. “Are you not going to do anything about this?! I am from Hyde Biological Technologies! My assets are measured in billions! I’ve just spoken with your chief last month about an investment deal too!
The way you guys are behaving now does not give me any sense of security! If you do not give me a justification, I’ll pull out all the investments! Do you think you can handle the consequences when your chief finds out about this?!”
“En. You can go ahead and pull out your investments!”
The officer sneered coldly in reply. He didn’t seem to have been affected by Hai Dalong’s threat at all.
The station chief himself had previously informed them that none of the people coming today was someone they could afford to offend. As such, there will naturally be specialized people who will settle any problems. They only needed to complete their own task well and make sure that civilians do not intrude into the area.
“What? What is your name?! How dare you speak like that to me! I want to make a complaint against you! You can just wait to be fired!” Hai Dalong erupted with rage. Even the station chief had to wear an amiable smile and speak cautiously to him. But now, a mere low-ranked police officer actually dared to speak to him so rudely!
“Tsk, so noisy.”
“Pa!”
The man who had stepped out of the cave earlier spat lightly with annoyance. With a sudden movement, he appeared beside Hai Dalong and sent a crisp slap across his face!
Hai Dalong somersaulted dramatically into the air with a wretched cry. A few pearly white teeth stained with crimson blood glistened in the moonlight as they flew out of his mouth!

Bei Feng summoned Extreme Arctic Frost and held it with the blade pointed downwards as he walked nonchalantly towards the police cordon.
Nobody came forth to block him this time. The police officer took one look at the sinister spear in his hands and immediately let him through.
Bei Feng strolled up to the cave and, paying no heed to the people around the entrance, he kept on walking calmly towards the entrance of the cave.
“Halt! This is a restricted area!”
Seeing Bei Feng getting closer and closer, one of the men near the entrance of the cave shouted.
Bei Feng looked at him lazily and walked up, “You wish to block me?”
At the same time, he unleashed the bountiful blood and Qi which had been suppressed all this while, causing a powerful pressure to envelop the area!
His tone was very light, but the man who had shouted at him felt as though he had fallen into an icy cave! The feeling was as if he was being eyed by a natural enemy of his! His scalp went completely numb with fear!
Just like that, he was rooted to the spot as Bei Feng walked past him. Any thoughts of blocking him had completely vanished. ‘Where did this malignant star come from? How come I’ve never heard of him before? Could it be that this is someone sent by a powerful reclusive sect?’
Only when Bei Feng had stepped into the cave did the people outside manage to recover. “Who was that person?”
“No idea! But I’ve only ever felt such a powerful aura of blood and Qi from my sect master!”
Everyone exchanged an incredulous glance. What kind of a talent was this? The sect master the man mentioned was one of the overlords of the Southwest region, a super expert from the older generation! That was an existence at the peak of Evolved Jing!
Although none of the people there had experienced the full force of Bei Feng’s pressure like the first guy, they could still feel that Bei Feng’s blood and Qi were as vigorous as a raging furnace! Before him, they were like a mere spark!
Bei Feng could not be bothered about what those people outside were thinking. He continued walking deeper into the cave as though he was taking a stroll in the park. Although the cave was not illuminated, with Bei Feng’s capabilities, it was as bright as daylight in his eyes. His vision was completely unaffected!
