Phantom Spear - C172

The last time he said it, Yue Xingchen calmly shared what he had learned from his previous fight with Wan Tianba to Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo. He pointed out that Wan Tianba’s continuous stream of demon power did not seem to come from the Devil Soul Sabre, but was actually concealed within Wan Tianba’s body. Based on how Wan Tianba was severely injured by Xu Qianloong last time, Wan Tianba would most likely need to borrow the Devil Soul Sabre’s help to trigger the demon power in his body. After that, Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo left Yue Xingchen’s room, allowing him to have a good rest. On the way, they met Xu Yuan who was about to visit, and the two of them instructed him not to disturb his again.

“Hey, why are you two like this? Wait for me for a bit, it’s boring to leave me alone again.” Xu Yuan shouted from behind. Yan Kuo also did not pay attention to him. Jiang Feng was also thinking about something, but he pretended not to hear anything. Xu Yuan was a little angry, and immediately activated his Lightness Exercise to chase up. When Yan Kuo heard the sound of wind behind him, he turned around and shouted, “Stop it right now, don’t mess around.” Xu Yuan hurriedly stopped and said: “You guys are also serious, why aren’t you discussing anything with me? “Why are you hiding everything from me?” Jiang Feng consoled him: “Brother Xu, calm down first. There are some things that we cannot say, and we have yet to figure out what it is that we need to tell you.” Xu Yuan was not convinced, and said: “I didn’t figure it out. Just say three days ago, if you all had been willing to tell me that Wan Tianba had arrived, I would have definitely gone out and fought with him. It’s been a long time since I’ve looked for someone to train in it. Hearing his words, Jiang Feng’s face was filled with helplessness. Yan Kuo said sternly: “So what if I told you? Let’s not talk about the fact that we didn’t have the mood to think about you at that time. Furthermore, where did you go then? Can’t you hear the noise outside? “Hmph, you only know to look for trouble all day long. If your master isn’t here, you will surely cause a ruckus, right?” When Xu Yuan heard him talk about his master, his heart couldn’t help but shiver. He said: “Don’t take my master out to pressure me. A few days after Chiang Feng went to lock him up, Master came over to say goodbye to me using the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. Here, no one can fight with me happily. What kind of experience is this? ” Yan Kuo looked at him angrily, and said: “Let me tell you, people who practice martial arts, the most important thing for us to do is to cultivate our nature, not to fight for victory. You are so impetuous, how can it help your martial arts? “Let me tell you, in the martial world, there are many people who are above us three. If you can’t cure your bad habit, how will you become a martial artist of your generation?” Although Yan Kuo was furious when he spoke these words, every word he said was true, and was also the truth. In fact, in Yan Kuo’s heart, he hoped that this young expert could cultivate his own personality.

Xu Yuan was so taken aback that he did not know how to respond. Jiang Feng also followed: “Brother Xu, Big Brother Yan is right, I know that you have two exquisite hammers and strong martial arts, but there is always a sky above and there are always people beyond, there are still too many stronger than us. “Calm down, train more and more diligently. Only then will we truly be able to grow.” Xu Yuan impatiently said: “Alright, alright, I don’t want to listen to your lecture, I just want to have a good fight right now, my hands are itchy.” Yan Kuo snorted coldly, but Jiang Feng tried to mediate: “Brother Xu, it is said that one mountain cannot hold two tigers, and sooner or later only one of us and our Death Land Sect will survive, if it is not for them dying, then we will die. What do you think is the result?” Xu Yuan immediately said: “Tsk, I don’t want to die.” Jiang Feng said loudly: “Well said, brother, since that’s the case, you must eliminate your impatience now. When the battle begins, you must rush to the front, at that time I will definitely let you have a good fight.” Hearing that it would be a fun fight, Xu Yuan was excited, and asked: “Chiang Feng, are you serious? You won’t go back on your word? ” Jiang Feng nodded his head affirmatively, and said: “Of course I won’t regret it, but you need to do your own things first.” Xu Yuan clenched both his hands into fists, and said: “Alright, I, Xu Yuan, am not afraid of the heavens or the earth, so how could such a small matter bother me? Hmph, when that time comes, I will personally defeat Wan Tianba and let you see.” Yan Kuo turned his head and said: “I’ll be waiting.”

Just as the three of them were chatting, a gatekeeper ran over and reported, “Master Chiang, Deputy Head Yan, Master Lu has arrived.” After Yan Kuo heard this, he asked in shock: Which Master Lu? The guard replied, “Naturally, it is the Emperor’s Elder, Master Lu Lu Jianfei.” When Jiang Feng heard that Lu Jianfei had arrived, he knew that the emperor had some orders to give, so he quickly said, “Alright, we understand. You should hurry and call for the Master Lu and bring him to the great hall in the front courtyard. We’ll be there shortly.” Before he left, he said again, “Oh, right. Master Chiang, Master Lu just instructed me to ask the three of you to head there together.” Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo couldn’t help but look at Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan was also very surprised as he stammered: “What? Then I’ll go as well? This is really weird, are all officials so weird? ” Yan Kuo shouted, “Stop spouting nonsense, be careful that Master Lu hears your words and take your head off.” Xu Yuan made himself look boring, and could only swallow his anger.

Yan Kuo analyzed: “At this time, the Master Lu came. Could it be that something big happened in the Imperial Palace?” Jiang Feng nodded his head in agreement, and said faintly: “I’m afraid so, or else why didn’t there be any news before, and why is Master Lu coming alone this time, I believe their actions are very secretive.” Xu Yuan was a little anxious, it was difficult for someone to be willing to see him. He quickly said: “You two don’t need to analyze it, once he goes, we will directly go to see that Master Lu, and everything will be clear.” After Jiang Feng heard this, he laughed: “Brother Xu, since you are right, let’s go together.” After saying that, the three of them went to the hall in the front yard.

Just as Lu Jianfei was tasting the tea, he saw the three of them enter and asked: “You are here?” Jiang Feng took the lead, and the other two people spoke: “Greetings, Master Lu.” Lu Jianfei raised his hand and made a gesture to stop, then said: “No need for formalities, you guys are more familiar with this place than me, you guys can sit anywhere.” Jiang Feng nodded in agreement. He and Yan Kuo sat on the left side and Xu Yuan sat on the right side respectively.

Lu Jianfei’s eyes were sharp, he glanced at Jiang Feng and said: “Master Chiang, have you been feeling haggard recently, and have you suffered internal injuries?” Jiang Feng never thought that with just that glance, Lu Jianfei would be able to tell that he suffered from internal injuries. He knew that he was an expert amongst experts, and upon careful thought, the Emperor’s personal guard, his martial arts cultivation was naturally not to be underestimated. Jiang Feng said respectfully: “Reporting to Master Lu, last month I went outside of the pass, and visited the Four Great Sects’ Martial Competition. Some unexpected things happened, and I was forced into it, so I suffered internal injuries.” Hearing his words, Lu Jianfei asked curiously, “Oh? To be able to cause you, Chiang Feng, to suffer from severe internal injuries, this person must be an expert from a different sect, which Sect Leader is he? ” Seeing that Lu Jianfei’s analysis skills were so strong, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but admire him in his heart. Jiang Feng nodded his head and said: “Master Lu’s guess is right, it was indeed a Sect Leader outside of our borders who injured me. He is Kun Sect Sect Leader Wei Gu Ran.” Lu Jianfei thought about it carefully and said: “Wei Ao Ran, wasn’t this person just a nobody in the past? Many years ago, when I was serving as a constable in the capital, I met him once. Jiang Feng disagreed, “Master Lu, although I do not know what kind of person Wei Guoran was in the past, but when she went back to the Four Sects Martial Arts Competition, he was the main planner of the whole thing. He was very meticulous and scheming, and her martial arts cultivation was very profound. Lu Jianfei snorted in disdain and said: “Hearing what you said, he still failed in the end? As the saying goes, the victor is the king while the loser is the bandit. There was nothing much to say. On the other hand, you, I want to give you a bit of advice. If you want to attend some big party in the future, once there’s a fight in the martial arts world, or if there’s a struggle in the sect, I advise you to protect yourself well and not participate in it, always remember that you are working for the current emperor, and only when the emperor orders you to do this can you put your life on the line to accomplish it. Otherwise, you will have to protect yourself first. Jiang Feng was obedient and nodded his head…

What about later?

And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
