Chapter 224: Not Fated
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The entire venue had fallen completely silent. Killed a Xiantian Lord? Those were lofty overlord-level characters who dominated entire regions!
This was an era where Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts had disappeared without a trace, which meant that Xiantian Lords were the true overlords of the world! But how many Xiantian Lords were there in the entire country?
Which one of those were not exalted figures, looking down on everybody else? Furthermore, they had an increased lifespan!
But a mighty character like that had actually been killed by that young man’s Lord? And it appeared that it might not be the only Xiantian Lord he killed? In that case… how high was that person’s cultivation?!
Everyone’s faces had gone green at this point as they lamented their choices. Why did they have to jump headlong into this kind of trouble, knowing that it was murky waters?
“Junior will have to trouble everyone this time. After we find the person who started this matter, our Lord will naturally appear in a few days,” Mystic Three said as he departed with the group, leaving the crowd to stare at each other awkwardly.
“Brother Bai, this situation today…”
A middle-aged Evolved Jing master turned to look at an old man who seemed to have some standing among them. As he did so, the others also looked over, awaiting his suggestion.
The old man was not tall, standing at only 1.5 meters or so. However, his back was exceptionally straight, like a strong, green pine tree!
“What else can we do? We can only quickly find the person who started all this, and hope that the other side will be appeased.”
Bai Song shook his head. With regards to Mystic Three’s words, he already believed it in his heart.
“Everyone, please send your forces out and investigate this matter. Even if we do not find the culprits, we must have some leads at least!”
Bai Song left right after saying that, leaving the other Evolved Jing masters behind to consider his words. After some time, the rest also nodded and left.
The manpower and resources of the various influential families were rather shocking by itself. When combined together, they were even more scary! At this time, everyone was busy searching for any leads on the matter.

Back at the villa, some time after the Mystics left, Bei Feng lingered on the spot before turning his head in a certain direction. “Are you still not going to show yourself?”
The yard appeared completely normal. Only the sounds of the grass and flowers swaying in the breeze could be heard.
Bei Feng continued looking in that direction without a word.
Bei Feng had actually not discovered the presence of his ‘visitor’. His mental power could only detect things within ten meters of him. Instead, it was actually the Cerberus who informed him.
The Cerberus’s nose was incomparably sensitive, and was able to sniff out the presence of the infiltrator. Since the opponent was obviously someone strong, it directly transmitted the information to Bei Feng’s brain.
Seeing that the yard was still completely silent, Bei Feng furrowed his brows and gathered his energy. Without any hesitation, he suddenly executed the Bear Form Style martial technique!
“Peng!”
A huge hole appeared on the green stone path as Bei Feng took a step!
The explosive power of the Bear Form Style at close range was extremely terrifying. In the blink of an eye, Bei Feng had appeared before the space between a few large trees!
The figure of a 5-meter-tall giant bear appeared behind him, looking extremely lifelike as it punched out together with him!
A shadow suddenly emerged from the space between the trees. At the same time, a realistic-looking blade appeared in midair, colliding with the bear’s paw!
“Boom!”
A sound like the clap of thunder echoed, sending the dust and twigs around the two, high into the air.
Bei Feng could feel the distinctive sharpness of the blade, as if it could break through everything!
In that moment, he retreated hurriedly, each step leaving a deep hole on the ground.
By the time the dust settled, a sizable pit had appeared at the point of impact. Several trees had also fallen over and was broken from the trunk under the pressure.
“Nicely done! I didn’t really believe it when Qin Yi told me, but I completely believe him now!”
Qin Wufa shook off the numbness on his hand and laughed.
Bei Feng had already noticed the presence of another person when he was attacking, but he did not hold back at all.
‘He’s strong! Unless I use the flying dagger, I’m not his match,’ Bei Feng thought silently.
“What are you doing here?” Bei Feng asked with an expression as calm as a lake, with no ripples or disturbances.
“Since you are a seed of my Qin clan, you should naturally return with me to acknowledge your ancestors!”
The more Qin Wufa looked at Bei Feng, the more satisfied he felt. The brat might be a little weak right now, but his potential was not bad!
“I’ve said this before. I have no relations with your Qin clan! There’s also no need to talk about acknowledging the ancestors.”
Bei Feng turned around directly to leave, not wanting to continue the conversation.
“Wait!”
Nobody saw what Qin Wufa did, but his body suddenly blurred and he appeared right before Bei Feng again.
“What if I make a deal with you?” Qin Wufa said in a deep tone.
“What kind of deal?” Bei Feng asked blandly.
“Come back to the Qin clan with me and take the position of the young clan leader. After that, you will take the first place in the Longmen Grottoes Gathering in half a year’s time. In return, I will allocate all the cultivation resources you need to you throughout that period!”
A strange light flickered in Qin Wufa’s pupils as he looked at Bei Feng.
“Not interested.”
In terms of cultivation resources, he still didn’t need others to worry for him.
“Don’t be too hasty, let me finish. I’m sure you must have realized by now that the higher your cultivation, the harder it is to improve. The Longmen Grottoes Gathering is specifically a place of great chance for Xiantian Lords!
Longmen Grottoes is a place that only opens every one hundred years. The only way to enter is through a competition between the younger generation, with only people below the age of 50. The first place contestant will gain seven entrance slots to the Longmen Grottoes!
The Longmen Grottoes is a natural secret realm, a stage where dragons ascend to the heavens. It is a place where the Ling Qi from a thousand li gathers! Those who enter it will at least see an improvement of one or two small realms in their cultivation, saving at least tens of years of hard work!”
Qin Wufa was watching Bei Feng’s expression carefully as he talked. But when he saw that Bei Feng appeared unaffected by his words, he could not help but to feel somewhat stunned.
‘D*mn brat, this kid is pretty good at masking his emotions! I’ll stop speaking and see if you remain unmoved!’
Qin Wufa had the airs of an expert as he awaited Bei Feng’s questions.
“Are you done? Please go back if you’re done,” Bei Feng replied coldly and continued walking towards the villa.
The cultivation path Bei Feng was walking on belonged to body cultivation. Ling Qi was not really as important to him as people thought. As long as he had sufficient high energy food, he could train quickly no matter where he was!
Even though the Form and Will Fist technique was considered a Qi imbued technique, and would produce Qi when practiced, it was not really useful for him. Bei Feng would often dissipate the Qi gained from cultivating it and use the energy to nourish his body instead.
‘He’s not making his decisions in a logical manner!’
The crafty smile on Qin Wufa’s face had completely frozen. He had stated his terms as planned, but why was the result so much different from how he imagined it would be?
After being rejected by Bei Feng time and again, Qin Wufa was also unable to maintain his cool. With a cold snort, he turned around and left.
“Since we were not fated to be father and son for the past 20-odd years, why force the issue now? Isn’t it better to each live our own lives?” Bei Feng turned his head and looked at the departing back of Qin Wufa with some sadness in his eyes. After a while, he muttered to himself in a melancholic way and went back inside.
Back in the villa, Bei Feng felt his mind becoming more at peace. As he did so, an aura of peace and harmony with nature also emanated from him.
The next day, after leaving the unwilling little fox at home, Bei Feng took the Cerberus with him in a car and left for Fuzhou.
This was the first time that Indigestion had seen the city, along with its impressive skyscrapers and the nonstop flow of human and vehicle traffic. Its face was pressed right against the glass with curiosity.
At noon, Mystic Three and the rest were waiting by the main doors of the security company after receiving Bei Feng’s message. Nobody complained—even though the weather was cold and there was a light drizzle.
The other influential families were also notified of Bei Feng’s arrival, and also rushed over. All of them wanted to see what kind of character this person who could kill Xiantian Lords was.
About an hour passed, but there was no sign of the legendary ‘Lord’. The crowd was becoming increasingly restless, but nobody dared to leave.
At this time, an ordinary Mercedes-Benz was rolling up to the security company at a leisurely pace. However, the car was stopped at the gate.
“This place is now closed for unauthorized people. Please take the car away!” It was the experts from the various influential families who had stopped the car. Seeing the ordinary car, a man went up to Bei Feng’s window and informed him.
“Bam!”
Bei Feng opened the car’s door and stepped outside, slamming the door back into place behind him. With a light scan, he could tell that there was at least twenty Evolved Jing masters stationed here.
After seeing that the Mystics were still well and kicking, Bei Feng nodded silently.
Mystic Four’s group naturally recognized the car. It was something which Mystic Four had left behind at the villa!
“Boss, you’re back!”
Mystic Three and the rest were already running over.
