Chapter 187: Something Big Was Going to Happen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Is he that Zhou Feng? Why is his aura different?’

Wei Gang lowered his head while the Flying Heaven Gu in his hand continuously spiraled.

As an elite Tri-Gu disciple, Wei Gang had heard of Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng had caused a lot of trouble in the Tri-Gu Sect back then, and he had almost annihilated a peak, causing an Elder to be furious.

Of course, Zhou Feng was most famous in the Tri-Gu Sect for becoming Leng Maner’s husband.

But later, the Voodoo Cult invaded the Tri-Gu Sect, and Zhou Feng had disappeared.

It was said that he had defected during the chaos. At that time, the Tri-Gu Sect had been at its weakest.

Almost none of the Elders had been around, and the Sect Leader was also missing.

This had allowed Zhou Feng to escape successfully.

Wei Gang did not expect Zhou Feng to have escaped to Heavenly Star City.

Moreover, he was doing quite well and was about to become the son-in-law of the Li Clan!

“Absolutely not wrong! There is still the aura of the Demon-Devouring Gu on his clothes, but I don’t know why there are no traces of the sect’s cultivation technique on his body!”

Wei Gang was certain that this Zhou Feng was the one from the sect.

Although he did not know how Zhou Feng did it, there was not a single trace of a Gu left on his body.

Unexpectedly, his clothes were stained with the aura of the Demon-Devouring Gu.

The Demon-Devouring Gu was Old Demon Gu’s unique Gu, and others could not get their hands on it.

“Is it with the identity of a lone cultivator? Then it seems that the Li Clan does not know about Zhou Feng’s past…”

Wei Gang keenly sensed that there was a profit to be made here.

Zhou Feng had managed to climb up to Heavenly Star City’s Li Clan, so if Wei Gang made the right move, it would be much easier for the Tri-Gu Sect to rise again.

“Tracking Gu!”

Wei Gang mixed with the shadows and took out a Gu, the size of an ant.

He planned to track where Zhou Feng was staying and meet him at night.

Zhou Feng did not know that there was a Tri-Gu disciple in Heavenly Star City and had even recognized him.

If the Tri-Gu Sect found out about this, they would not let Zhou Feng off.

Because no matter what, Zhou Feng was still a Tri-Gu disciple.

This was not a place one could leave just because they wanted. As long as one had entered the Tri-Gu Sect, they would be a part of it for the rest of their life.

Now that Zhou Feng was doing so well, the Tri-Gu Sect would definitely not let this opportunity go.

On the other side, Zhou Feng also felt that something was not right.

‘What’s going on? Why do I feel a little uneasy? Is someone following me?’

Zhou Feng’s sharp senses allowed him to notice that something was not right.

Big Yellow was calm. It did not feel that something was not right at all.

However, Zhou Feng felt as if a needle was pressing against his back.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, but he couldn’t find the source.

‘Troublesome! It seems that I can’t slack off for this period!’

A few consecutive events filled Zhou Feng with a sense of urgency once more. He shouldn’t be able to continue his leisurely life like before. Putting aside everything else, he had to break through to the Purple Mansion realm first.

His Soul Altar cultivation was already somewhat lacking.

‘Malevolent Earth Qi!’

The key to Zhou Feng’s breakthrough was to find the Malevolent Earth Qi.

As long as he had the Malevolent Earth Qi to help enhance his body, then he would be able to rely on his passive Tenacious Heart’s insane recovery speed.

No matter how low Zhou Feng’s aptitude was, he should be able to condense the Human Emperor Blood under the repeated enhancement forcefully.

After that, he would rely on the characteristics of the Human Emperor Blood to help him condense a nascent soul.

Although the Malevolent Earth Qi was extremely dangerous, it could be used as a material for refining treasures, so it was also an extremely precious resource.

Given Zhou Feng’s current connections and resources, he could only place the hope of finding the Malevolent Earth Qi on the Heavenly Star Gathering.

‘Perfect! I can use that set of battle armor and the spear to exchange!’

Zhou Feng immediately planned everything out.

He would use the battle armor and spear that he had obtained from Wang Shu in exchange for information about the Malevolent Earth Qi.

Anyway, these items were all hot potatoes. As long as they were still in his hands, the Wang Clan would definitely keep a close eye on him.

Moreover, after cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture, Zhou Feng felt that ordinary spiritual artifacts were already of little help to him.

Sometimes, they were even worse than a pair of fists. He did not even use the Purple Jade Bell in the previous battle.

Therefore, these spiritual artifacts were not of much use to him.

If he could exchange them for the resources he needed, it would not be a loss.

Zhou Feng quickened his pace with this thought in mind and hurried back to his small shop.

Zhou Feng had left in a carefree manner, but he had provoked a huge storm.

The Young Master of the Wang Clan had died!

A vagabond cultivator had brutally killed him in the Life-Death Arena!

And that vagabond cultivator was in the Soul Altar realm while the deceased Wang Shu was in the Purple Mansion realm!

He had even taken away the two top-grade spiritual artifacts that had been passed down in the Wang Clan for generations.

Also, if nothing unexpected happened, the husband of the noble daughter of the Li Clan would be this person.

These pieces of news had bombarded many people until they were dizzy.

“This is all true? How could It be so sudden?”

“Where exactly does Zhou Feng come from?”

“A Soul Altar cultivator killing a Purple Mansion cultivator? And without any tricks, killing him head-on?”

“This is too exaggerated!”

Wang Shu’s previous plan to create hype had completely succeeded but in Zhou Feng’s favor.

If everything had gone smoothly, Wang Shu would have used this reputation to enter the small top circle of Heavenly Star City.

That circle gathered all the geniuses of Heavenly Star City.

Only true geniuses had the qualifications to come into contact with that circle.

And the random things that leaked out from that circle were enough to get the Wang Clan out of its predicament.

But now that Wang Shu had died, Zhou Feng had obtained this privilege. And because of Zhou Feng’s identity and realm, this caused a bigger sensation than Wang Shu had expected.

Not to mention anything else, the City Lord’s faction had already begun to pay attention to this young talent, Zhou Feng.

In any case, the fastest one should be the Li Clan. The Li Clan had already sent people to Zhou Feng’s residence.

For such a wandering genius to marry into their Li Clan wasn’t considered shameful. He could just barely get by!

Among so many people, the one who was the most surprised was naturally Elder Zheng.

‘Looks like my foresight isn’t bad!’

Elder Zheng had expected that Zhou Feng had great potential, or else he would not have invested in him the second time they met.

However, Elder Zheng had invested in Zhou Feng largely because of the latter’s talent in pill refinement.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng’s battle prowess was actually so amazing.

This time, he had really picked up a treasure.

Elder Zheng also heard that Zhou Feng was about to become the son-in-law of the Li Clan, so he felt that he had to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Feng.

He would make a huge fortune as long as he maintained a good relationship with such an outstanding person.

Elder Zheng no longer thought about the various plans he had before.

Now, he only hoped that he could maintain a good relationship with Zhou Feng, but he could not be too assertive.

‘Oh no! The Heavenly Star Gathering! There are a few people in that circle who once pursued the noble daughter of the Li Clan. Now…’

Elder Zheng suddenly recalled that among the people who would participate in the Heavenly Star Gathering, there were two who had pursued Li Rong. They had voluntarily given up in the end due to the pressure of the clan.

As for Zhou Feng, as the son-in-law of the Li Clan, they would make things difficult for him.

The most terrifying thing was that Zhou Feng would not lower his head given his character.

This… This was likely to be a major incident!
