Chapter 64: The Holy Maiden of Ming Jiao Seeks Flowers at the Eighth Watch
Wang Ming never thought that he could get the cultivation method of Huaxia Country's ancient martial arts sect. Such a great thing actually fell on his head, and happiness came too suddenly, making him a bit dizzy. Fortunately, he was still relatively clear-headed and knew that this was an opportunity for him. He knew that if Yang Feng could give him such a method, there must be even more profound methods, and as long as he remained loyal to Yang Feng, there would be even more benefits in the future.
Wang Ming made up his mind to follow Yang Feng, knowing that Yang Feng agreed to take him as an apprentice today was largely due to the cooperation between his family and the Xijiang Group. To gain Yang Feng's recognition, he must demonstrate his abilities, which would lead to more opportunities and benefits for himself in the future.
Wang Ming suddenly remembered what happened at school today and asked Yang Feng, "Master, was it you who made Zhang Fei spit blood today?!"
"Hmph, that girl spoke out of turn, making her spit blood is still too light, if it weren't for being in school, I would definitely make her pay! Yang Feng heard Wang Ming bring up this matter and still felt a bit angry, thinking the lesson given to Zhang Fei was still too light."
Wang Ming heard Yang Feng's words and shrank his neck, thinking to himself that he had guessed correctly after all. Yang Feng's taboo was indeed his mother, and from now on, he would have to be careful with his words, absolutely not daring to say anything that would insult his mother, or else his own life would be in danger.
"Master, there's something I don't know if I should tell you or not." Wang Ming said to Yang Feng after his expression calmed down.
"It's alright, don't be so formal. In this day and age, you still call me Master, it sounds awkward to my ears. Just call me Brother Feng instead. As long as you remember that I'm your master in your heart, that's enough. If there's anything, just speak directly." Yang Feng said to Wang Ming.
"Hmm, Wind Brother, I'll speak directly then. Actually, I highly approve of you scolding Zhang Fei today, but the Zhang family isn't one to be trifled with. I'm afraid they might come seeking revenge against you!" Wang Ming said to Yang Feng.
"Why don't you just say it simply and let's hear it?" Yang Feng asked Wang Ming.
Wang Ming then told Yang Feng some information he had heard from his father or found out himself. It turned out that Zhang Fei was the daughter of a wealthy family, the second largest in Shuangqing City after the Xijiang Group, and her father was the chairman of the Guangming Group, Zhang Lu. The Guangming Group was an old-established group in Shuangqing City, existing for many years before the Xijiang Group entered the market.
Moreover, after the Xijiang Group entered Shuangqing City, it had repeatedly suppressed the Guangming Group, but in the end, it was unable to overcome the Guangming Group. Therefore, in reality, there were two dominant forces in Shuangqing City: the Xijiang Group and the Guangming Group, rather than the Xijiang Group being the sole leader. The Guangming Group also secretly supported the Secretary of the Shuangqing Municipal Party Committee, often playing a counter-role to the Mayor Wang supported by the Xijiang Group, thus hindering the development of the Xijiang Group in many aspects.
Yang Feng's heart moved after hearing Wang Ming's words, and he thought of the true energy of Zhang Fei's Jiu Yang Shen Gong and Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi that he had detected today. At that time, he guessed whether Zhang Fei was Zhang Wuji's successor or not. The Guangming Group could rival the Xijiang Group, which was absolutely not simple. After all, the Xijiang Group had the Tangmen as its vanguard, but it had no impact on the Guangming Group at all.
Yang Feng began to suspect that the Guangming Group might be an enterprise under the Ming Cult, and if so, this trouble would be big. The Ming Cult was the largest sect in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, although it was later suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang and became somewhat decadent. However, due to Zhang Wuji's influence at the time, the major schools of the Huaxia Kingdom did not make things difficult for the Ming Cult's disciples, which allowed the Ming Cult to retain its foundation.
It's just that in the following years, Mingjiao turned underground and no longer appeared in front of the world, so most of the Wulin families knew very little about Mingjiao. However, when Yang Feng was young, he spent some time at the Yang family home and once accidentally heard news about Mingjiao from a member of the Yang family, which is why he knew that Mingjiao's power was actually quite large.
If it's really as Yang Feng guessed, Guangming Group is an enterprise under the Mingjiao flag, then the trouble brought by Zhang Fei this time will be big. He himself is not afraid of others coming to retaliate, but he is worried that they will take action against Xiji Group, which is not what Yang Feng wants to see, so he feels a bit tricky about this matter.
Just as Yang Feng was worried, on the top of another skyscraper in Shuangqing City, a middle-aged man in his 40s stood on the top floor of this building, looking at the Xijiang Group not far away. This building is the headquarters of Guangming Group, and it and the headquarters of Xijiang Group are the two tallest buildings in Shuangqing City.
The middle-aged man was not very tall, but he stood upright, exuding an aura of authority as he stood there. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he didn't say a word. Behind the middle-aged man stood a man in his thirties, who appeared to be his assistant. He too didn't say anything, just standing silently behind the middle-aged man, waiting for his instructions.
"Is the young lady better?" The middle-aged man finally spoke up after a long time.
"The Holy Maiden has taken the elixir you gave her and is much better now, with no major issues, but she's still in a coma and hasn't woken up yet," said the man standing behind the middle-aged man with respect.
"Hum, who is so bold to dare hurt my precious daughter?! Zhang Wu, have you investigated clearly?!" The middle-aged man turned around and asked the man called Zhang Wu, and the middle-aged man who turned around was surprisingly the chairman of Guangming Group, Zhang Lu.
"Master Zhang, I have already sent someone to investigate and I believe we will have results soon." Zhang Wu said respectfully to Zhang Lu.
The conversation between the two people was inexplicable, mentioning some holy girl and sect leader, but if Yang Feng were here, he would know what they were talking about. As Yang Feng had guessed, the Guangming Group was indeed an enterprise of the Ming Cult, and Zhang Lu, the chairman of the Guangming Group, was the leader of this generation of the Ming Cult. His daughter, Zhang Fei, happened to be the holy girl of this generation of the Ming Cult!
Ming Cult is also a sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and its power is also very vast. There are many masters in the sect, and Zhang Lu is a master of the third level of Xiantian, only one step away from reaching the realm of Xiantian Dacheng. Zhang Fei is his only daughter, whom he regards as a precious gem, and has passed on all the ultimate skills of Ming Cult to her.
Zhang Fei was also a martial arts prodigy. Although the Nine Yang Divine Skill, this ultimate skill is not suitable for women to cultivate, Zhang Fei has cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill to the peak of the first layer in just a few years, reaching the state of post-heavenly completion. Moreover, she also cultivated the Qiankun Great Shift, and the two ultimate skills of Tai Chi Fist and Tai Chi Swordsmanship were also thoroughly learned by Zhang Fei. Such achievements made Zhang Lu extremely delighted, directly sealing Zhang Fei as the Holy Maiden of Mingjiao, becoming an existence equal to him, the sect leader.
It's precisely because Zhang Fei has been so gifted and lovable since she was a child that she gradually became arrogant, but as the Holy Maiden of Mingjiao, her status is transcendent in Mingjiao, so everyone in Mingjiao is extremely obedient to her, all people are very polite to her, and there has never been anyone who dares to disobey Zhang Fei's will.
Zhang Fei was the same in school, because she was very smart, so from the beginning of school to now, she has always been the first place, making her the darling of all teachers. Moreover, due to her beauty, she attracted the pursuit of many male students, which further fueled her proud temperament.
However, today our Holy Maiden was greatly shocked because her first place in academic achievement was taken by Yang Feng. She went to question him in a huff, but he didn't even give her a glance, which made our Holy Maiden even more shocked. With a momentary impulse, she said those words that provoked Yang Feng.
What made our Holy Maiden even more shocked was that the ordinary-looking Yang Feng had actually become a master of the Innate Boundary, which made her feel even more ashamed as she had always thought herself to be a martial arts genius. The consecutive blows left our Holy Maiden dazed and confused, and under Yang Feng's sonic attack, her true energy became disordered, finally causing her to cough up blood and faint!
