Chapter 73: Chapter 073: The Invitation from Xuantian Sect
“Master Feng’s ambition is not small,” Mu Tianyun thought to himself, “In just a few months, he has achieved such astonishing feats; indeed, he is very impressive.” But he did not say anything, as he still needed Feng Wuchen’s help to drive out the fire poison.
If he opposed Feng Wuchen right now, there would be no hope of driving out the fire poison from his body.
Of course, Mu Tianyun never thought of making an enemy of such a terrifying genius.
Mu Tianyun, as a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner, knew all too well how terrifying Feng Wuchen was.
No one at the scene seemed to object on the surface, and Feng Wuchen did not say more. He then proceeded to toast everyone with tea in place of wine.
The banquet looked harmonious on the surface, but what everyone was really thinking remained unknown.
Feng Wuchen also understood that these people feared his status, not his strength.
There were many strong figures present, and any one of them at the Ninth Level of the Transformative Realm could easily kill Feng Wuchen.
It was precisely because of his status that Feng Wuchen had the capital to compete with the major powers in Yunzhou.
Actually, Feng Wuchen did not expect so many strong figures to come today; it was a perfect opportunity to give them a warning.
After the banquet, the various forces dispersed, and Liu Shan saw each guest out, leaving only a few strong figures from Xuantian Sect and Wei Yun.
Today, the Liu family could indeed be proud, having gathered the strong figures of all Yunzhou and having the famed Master Feng’s backing. Such an impressive display would keep the Liu family bragging for a year.
“The Grand Commander has great ambitions. I’m afraid he wants to dominate Yunzhou and have all the major forces submit to him!”
“Even the old Sect Master Mu did not dare to speak out, which shows that Xuantian Sect also fears Master Feng greatly. It seems there will be a change of power in Yunzhou!”
“The force behind Master Feng is too terrifying; we can’t afford to offend him, not at any cost.”
“That brat makes it clear he wants the major forces of Yunzhou to submit to him! Just a minor Transformative Realm, and now he wants to swallow all of Yunzhou? It seems we’ll have to find an opportunity to take him out quietly! After all, no one will know.”
“With the Empire’s support behind Master Feng and his being appointed as the Grand Commander, it is clear that the Emperor holds him in high regard. We have no need to make an enemy of him!”
The dispersed forces had many guessing at Feng Wuchen’s intentions, yet they dared not say it in front of him.
“Have people keep an eye on Master Feng! If there’s a chance, get rid of him!” a leader of a major force ordered in a low voice, a flicker of undetectable ferocity in his eyes.
After leaving the Liu residence, Su Yuanshan and the three elders also had gloomy expressions, obviously guessing Feng Wuchen’s intentions as well.
Feng Wuchen killed Burn Heaven Valley’s genius disciple Lin Yuntian, and now he seems to have aspirations to dominate Yunzhou; it would be surprising if Su Yuanshan was not angry.
“Valley Master, do we have a plan? Master Feng clearly wants to swallow the whole of Yunzhou,” an elder asked gravely.
With a stern face, Su Yuanshan said, “Let’s watch and wait; someone will act impatiently.”
“Is the Valley Master referring to Xuantian Sect?” an elder guessed.
With a cold voice, Su Yuanshan responded, “Hmph! We will hold our forces back and see whom that boy targets. If pushed too far, we might as well break the net! To think he could trample Burn Heaven Valley underfoot is wishful thinking!”
Su Yuanshan was not foolish enough to strike first; if he didn’t strike, naturally others would.
But what Su Yuanshan could think of, others could as well; no one wanted to be the sacrificial lamb; it all depended on whom Feng Wuchen would target first.
Each force had its own cunning plans.
A shot bird is always the one in front; it’s just a matter of who will make the first move.
“We must hurry back to stop Lin Yunchong! We can’t let him offend that kid,” an elder said with furrowed brows.
After thinking for a moment, with a glint of coldness in his eyes, Su Yuanshan sneered, “No need, let him be. Lin Yunchong is not a rash man; if he succeeds, all the better. If he fails, we will say that he has been expelled from our sect!”
“Valley Master is wise!” the elders praised in unison.
…
In the Liu family’s great hall, Liu Shan was still respectfully entertaining Mu Yuntian and the others.
“Old Sect Master Mu, I too would like to help you, but I truly do not have much time. I have already delayed a month in the barracks; I only just returned to Yunzhou today,” Feng Wuchen said with a helpless wry smile, tactfully declining.
“This…” Mu Yunshan was immediately at a loss.
In a month at the barracks, Feng Wuchen had greatly strengthened two of the Empire’s elite armies and been appointed Grand Commander, proving his ability.
It was precisely for this reason that Mu Yunshan wanted to invite Feng Wuchen to train a group of disciples for Xuantian Sect.
With the strength of Xuantian Sect, it would not be difficult to cultivate a batch of outstanding disciples, but to achieve a significant improvement within a month was completely impossible.
Otherwise, Mu Yunshan would not have invited Feng Wuchen’s help, which was also the reason they stayed behind.
Mu Yuntian then asked, “Grand Commander, could you perhaps tell us your training methods?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen gave a bitter smile, “Old Sect Master Mu, this is my secret, why must you put me in a difficult position?”
How powerful the Supreme body was! Being not one of his own, Feng Wuchen would never impart it lightly, not even to Xuantian Sect, unless Xuantian Sect submitted!
Mu Yuntian was secretly disappointed, but also had no choice. He knew well that the method that significantly improved the fighting capability of Black Flag Army and Sky Shadow cavalry in one month was indeed very precious.
“Then, when will the Grand Commander have time?” Mu Yunshan continued to ask, still not giving up.
This is a chance, if not seized, there might never be another opportunity in the future. Who knows how long Feng Wuchen will be gone next time?
“In about six months,” Feng Wuchen thought for a moment and answered.
Feng Wuchen had entrusted Tianyan Academy to protect the Feng family for a year; there were still about seven months left, by which time he would need to hurry back once more.
With Tianyan Academy’s protection, Feng Wuchen wasn’t worried about the Feng family’s safety, but after a year, no one knew if the Mo family and Huangfu family would immediately act.
Before returning, Feng Wuchen must quickly strengthen himself as much as possible.
Therefore, time was extremely important to Feng Wuchen.
Of course, the things Feng Wuchen left for the Feng family were enough to make them stronger, at least sufficed to suppress the Mo family, but were insufficient against the Huangfu family.
“Half a year?” Mu Tianyun and Mu Yunshan slightly furrowed their brows in deep thought.
Feng Wuchen nodded and said, “I hope the two Sect Masters can understand. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t agree to help the Great General train his army.”
“If it’s half a year, then half a year. Thank you, Grand Commander,” said Mu Yunshan, nodding promptly.
“There’s only one month’s time.” Feng Wuchen added.
“If the Grand Commander can boost the strength of the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow Fire Cavalry within a month, I believe the Grand Commander can also enhance our Xuantian Sect disciples’ strength in a month!” Mu Yunshan stated with conviction.
Feng Wuchen continued, “I cannot guarantee that. The Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow Fire Cavalry are elites, and their physical constitutions are beyond ordinary, unlike any common person can compare with. The strength of the Xuantian Sect’s talented disciples may surpass the two forces, but I cannot assure that the Xuantian Sect’s talented disciples can endure the hardship, and I have one more condition.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Tianyun, Mu Yunshan, and several others furrowed their brows again, seemingly worried about something.
“What condition?” the Great Elder Xie He asked.
Feng Wuchen smiled and said, “I need the essence blood of the Bi Jing Kuang Lion! Three portions, and within three days.”
“The essence blood of the Bi Jing Kuang Lion?” Mu Yunshan frowned, seeming somewhat troubled, but then agreed, “All right! I will make sure to deliver the essence blood of the Bi Jing Kuang Lion to the Grand Commander within three days!”
Feng Wuchen thanked with a clasped fist, “Many thanks to Sect Master Mu.”
Feng Wuchen would never make a losing deal; naturally, since the Xuantian Sect invited his help, he intended to obtain benefits in return.
Moreover, the essence blood of the Bi Jing Kuang Lion was of great assistance to Feng Wuchen. Given his current cultivation, he was no match for the Bi Jing Kuang Lion, making it extremely difficult for him to obtain its essence blood.
“Grand Commander, do you mean that the stronger the physical constitution, the quicker the improvement?” Mu Tianyun picked up on something and eagerly asked.
“Exactly,” Feng Wuchen nodded in affirmation.
“Half a year’s time is enough for them to enhance their physical constitutions,” said Mu Tianyun, without doubting Feng Wuchen.
The discussion was brief, and Mu Yuntian and the others soon left the Liu family’s residence.
As soon as Mu Tianyun and the others left, Wei Yun said with gravity, “Grand Commander, you must be careful in the future. The major powers of Yunzhou are no benevolent entities.”
With no fear on his face, Feng Wuchen let out a faint cold chuckle, “Just afraid they don’t have the guts.”
Wei Yun’s heart jolted. What kind of existence was Feng Wuchen to be imbued with such confidence?
“Big Brother Feng, are you really planning to help the Xuantian Sect? Aren’t you afraid that the Xuantian Sect will turn against you?” Liu Qingyang asked worriedly.
“I can’t speak for others, but I’m certain that the Xuantian Sect won’t, and they don’t dare to,” Feng Wuchen said confidently.
“Foolishness!” Liu Shan glared at Liu Qingyang and said, “The Sect Master Mu is a Fourth Rank Alchemist. He needs to ask the Grand Commander to expel the fire poison; otherwise, he’ll never see an improvement in his alchemy for the rest of his life.”
“Family Head Liu, there’s another matter I’ve come here for,” Feng Wuchen said, looking at Liu Shan.
“Please speak freely, Grand Commander,” Liu Shan replied respectfully.
“In three days, I’ll be taking Qingyang and Qingqing away for outside experience,” said Feng Wuchen.
Liu Shan was overjoyed inside and immediately agreed, even thanking him profusely.
Liu Qingyang was the future of the Liu family. With cultivation under Feng Wuchen, his strength was bound to advance by leaps and bounds. Furthermore, Liu Shan could be absolutely at ease, and the Liu family could continue to grow stronger through their connection to Feng Wuchen.
It was a win-win situation; why not rejoice at the opportunity?
“That’s fantastic!” Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing cheered excitedly.
In the following three days, Feng Wuchen stayed with the Liu family. He cultivated at night and during the day, he instructed Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing in swordsmanship. Even though it was the inheritance sword technique of the Divine Immortal Couple, under Feng Wuchen’s guidance, they understood it even deeper.
This shocked Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing. Could Feng Wuchen be even more formidable than the Divine Immortal Couple?
What were the Divine Immortal Couple compared to the Evil Dragon God?
With the memories and vast experience of the Evil Dragon God, Feng Wuchen could immediately spot the deficiencies in the Yin Yang Liangyi Sword Technique.
Besides instructing them, Feng Wuchen also imparted movement techniques and martial skills to them.
The three days flew by, and on the third day, Mu Yunshan had dispatched Mu Huang to bring the essence blood of the Bi Jing Kuang Lion, exactly three portions.
Afterward, Feng Wuchen left with Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing from the Liu family to embark on their journey of experience.
What do you think?
