Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 626
Chapter 626 Digestion
Everyone in the hall looked outside and saw Tang Mo helping an old man into the hall.
“First Elder, you must make the decision for me. My son can’t die in vain!”
The old man who was supported was Tang Hong’s father. Because he was seriously injured when he was young, his realm had fallen to the Houtian realm. Tang Mo was his younger brother.
“Don’t worry, Brother Tang. Tang Hong will definitely not die in vain. I will definitely give you an answer!”
Tang Ding let the two of them in and said earnestly.
“This Ye Feng is too deceptive. He actually contradicted First Elder in public. If it weren’t for the support of someone behind him, I would have killed him on the spot!”
Tang Mo also had a look of hatred. Tang Hong had died under his protection. He felt very guilty about this matter. Seeing his big brother like this, Tang Mo felt uncomfortable.
“You don’t have to blame yourself for this anymore. Brother Tang will understand. Tang Hong’s death has nothing to do with you. Most importantly, if you kill this brat, you must understand why Tang Tian values him so much.”
Looking at Tang Mo’s guilty gaze, Tang Ding was actually comforting others.
“First Elder, don’t worry. Our bloodline will always support you. If we can kill this brat, I, Tang Mo, will definitely support you to become the new Patriarch of the Tang Clan.”
Tang Mo wasn’t an idiot. First Elder was ambitious and had always wanted to become the head of the Tang Clan. He had been trying to win over all the branches of the clan over the years. Tang Mo had already stood on First Elder’s side. Now that he had spoken, it proved that he was sincerely standing on the same side as First Elder.
“With your words, that’s enough. This kid won’t be able to live long.”
Tang Ding was in a better mood. As long as he could ascend to the position of Tang Clan’s Clan Master, everything was worth it.
…
The next morning!
Ye Feng got up early, tidied up his clothes and walked towards the Tang Clan.
As soon as he left the Tang Clan’s main gate, Ye Feng discovered that a few waves of people were following behind him. One wave of Ye Feng, if not mistaken, should be sent by the Clan Master, and the other wave should be from the First Elder Tang Cauldron.
The two groups secretly followed, not approaching, only hanging from afar.
The corner of Ye Feng’s lips curled into a smile. He ignored it and strode towards the center of Fire City. The date he had arranged with Big Tiger was today.
After a few turns, Ye Feng flashed into a street. Then, his body turned into a streak of green smoke and disappeared.
“What’s going on? Where did this brat go? How did he disappear?”
The moment Ye Feng disappeared, the three men appeared at the corner of the alley and were lost.
“He must still be nearby. Let’s follow him!”
The three of them quickly followed him and continued deeper into the alley.
Not long after the three of them left, two more people appeared, their faces filled with doubt. How could Ye Feng suddenly disappear when he turned the corner?
Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them instantly followed.
After the two groups of people left for more than ten breaths, a cloud of mist slowly formed into a human figure from the void. Ye Feng emerged from the void.
Just now, Ye Feng suddenly used the fog to merge himself with the space. In fact, Ye Feng was not far away. They could not find him at all. They thought that Ye Feng had secretly used his movement technique and left this place.
“You guys are too young to follow me!”
Ye Feng’s body moved in an oblique direction. He walked backwards on the way back and forth, and a few longitudinal shots disappeared.
Not long after Ye Feng left, the five people following him returned and discovered that they had lost them. There was no trace of Ye Feng in front of them. By the time he reacted, Ye Feng had long since disappeared.
After walking for less than half an hour, Ye Feng arrived at a desolate place. This place was sparsely populated, mainly because some low-level residents of Fire City lived here. They were the lowest level martial artists of Fire City.
Big Tiger and the others lived here. The mercenaries didn’t have much future. They practically lived a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. It was unknown if they could still see the sun tomorrow. In addition, the mercenaries didn’t have much resources to supply. The place where they lived was relatively poor.
After crushing the communication talisman, Ye Feng waited on the spot. In just a few dozen breaths, Big Tiger and Three Tigers rushed out of the same house.
“Master, you’re here!”
Big Tiger and Three Tigers bowed respectfully to Ye Feng.
“Go in and talk!”
Ye Feng waved his hand. Outside was not a place to talk.
“Master, please!”
The two of them led Ye Feng into a large courtyard. Although it was dilapidated, the area was not small. The three brothers had also bought some family treasures over the years.
“How’s the collection going?”
Ye Feng asked straightforwardly.
“Master, we have basically gathered enough information. Other than some core information, there are also some factions in the various clans!”
Big Tiger took out a thick stack of beast hides. Many words were engraved on them. These were all records of Fire City’s news.
“Mm, you guys are so lucky!”
Although they believed in him now, they still said politely.
“This is what we should do. It’s our honor to be able to serve our master!”
Big Tiger and Three Tigers were flattered.
He picked up the carved words and maps from the beast hides and found them densely packed. It seemed that the Big Tiger and the Three Tigers had been busy these past few days. Just by gathering so much information, they had put in a lot of effort.
A huge amount of information was absorbed by Ye Feng bit by bit. Ye Feng knew very little about Fire City. With this information, he had a general understanding of Fire City.
Fire City consisted of five great clans. The strongest clan now belonged to the Lan Clan. They had developed very well these past few years.
The second was the Yu Clan. Their shops were all over Qinli Middle Continent, and their background was pretty good. There were almost signs that they were ranked first among the five great clans.
Then there was the Zhong Clan. The Tang Clan was ranked fourth in Fire City, and the Mo Clan was ranked last. Because the Mo Clan did not like to fight, they gradually developed their clan. Among the five great clans, they were the most peaceful clan.
These beast skins were also inscribed with the names of the genius disciples of each clan, as well as the resources they were in charge of.
“Master, this is a portrait, some important figures. We have found someone to draw some portraits for you to recognize in the future!”
Big Tiger took out a stack of portraits from his storage ring. He knew the name and didn’t know what it looked like. Big Tiger handled things very nimbly.
There was a note on each portrait that the genius disciples of each clan were gradually brought into Ye Feng’s eyes.
“You guys did a good job!”
Ye Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. He now had a complete grasp of the various clans’ situation, and even some secrets were dug out by the Great Tiger and recorded.
The ten great sects only paid attention to the development of their sects, and there were very few branches. There would only be a few halls outside, the main purpose of which was to recruit geniuses from all over the world and bring them into the sect.
For a day, Ye Feng had been digesting this knowledge. It was only at dusk that Ye Feng rubbed his head. After absorbing so much knowledge at once, Ye Feng felt that his head was swollen and painful.
“You guys are doing very well. I might have to go far away in a few days. You guys be careful. Don’t cause any trouble. You should do the task. Don’t make anyone suspicious.”
Ye Feng instructed. Right now, he was treading on thin ice in Fire City. Ye Feng had to be careful. If he was careless, he would be doomed.
“Understood master!”
Dahu and Sanhu lowered their heads and said.
“Alright, I’ll go back first. I still have some use for this information. Don’t look for me for the time being!”
Ye Feng put away the information and left the courtyard of the tiger. His body flickered a few times and soon disappeared. After comprehending the wind element, Ye Feng’s speed was almost unimaginable.
Half an hour later, Ye Feng appeared within the scope of the Tang Clan. There were five shadows lingering not far from the Tang Clan’s main entrance. Seeing Ye Feng walking towards the main entrance with a faint smile, the five of them hid in the darkness.
Ye Feng sneered as he swaggered into the clan and returned to his own courtyard.
…
At the First Elder mansion, three men quickly walked in.
“But what news did you find? Why did this brat leave?”
Tang Ding glared at the three of them, wanting to know what they had found out.
“This subordinate is incompetent. I didn’t get any news. This kid is too cunning. We lost him!”
One of them said with a dejected tone. Their realms were higher than Ye Feng’s, and they actually lost him.
“Lost? You still have the face to come back!”
Tang Ding’s face flashed with anger.
“Master, don’t be angry. Even though we lost him, the people he sent also lost him!”
Another person continued. It seemed that the three of them weren’t the only ones who had lost their way.
“It’s okay, get lost!”
Tang Ding didn’t want to hear this. How could he not know that Tang Tian would send someone to secretly follow Ye Feng and waved his hand to let them go down?
“Subordinate, please leave!”
The three of them didn’t dare to stay and quickly left the First Elder mansion.
…
“Reporting to Patriarch, we are incompetent. We have lost our people!”
The two men said apologetically to Tang Tian.
“I see. You guys go down!”
Tang Tian also waved his hand and didn’t pursue further. He seemed to feel that it was too normal. If he didn’t lose his way, Tang Tian would think that it was abnormal.
“Good boy, it seems that I underestimated you. With you joining the escort mission this time, it should be a lot more successful.”
After the two of them left, Tang Tian muttered to himself.
For the next two days, Ye Feng didn’t go anywhere. He had been cultivating, constantly comprehending sword techniques, secretly cultivating the Asura avatar.
The Seven Heaven Slaughter Styles had already been deduced into the Fifth Style. Ye Feng had to be proficient as soon as possible. With the Fifth Style, even if he faced the third level of the Divine Martial Arts, he would still be able to protect himself.
The last two moves of the sword technique, Ye Feng’s guess was correct. It should be Terminator Hell and Terminator Dawn. Because Ye Feng did not know where to start at this moment, he could only temporarily postpone it until he had more time to search for the sword technique and perfect the last two moves to form a complete version of Terminator Sword Technique.
Two days passed in a flash.
On the third night, a mysterious person wearing a black mask came to Ye Feng’s courtyard.
“Come with me. The mission has begun!”
The black-clothed man said coldly.
Ye Feng was already prepared. He stood up and no longer cultivated. He followed the black-clothed man out of the courtyard.
“Put this on so that no one will recognize you!”
The black clothed man tossed Ye Feng a set of black clothes and a hood to avoid being recognized when he went out.
Without hesitation, they put on their clothes and put on their headgear. The two of them left the courtyard together.
The black-clothed man specially chose some pitch-black places to walk. Normally, no one would come out here. With a few jumps, the two of them left the Tang Clan.
