Chapter 27: The Strife Between Natives and Outsiders

  After Mo Feng broke through to the middle period of Lian Ti Jing's Great Perfection, he put all his energy into cultivating Lian Xin Jue.

  The difficulty of cultivating internal organs, qi and blood, and acupoints is greater than that of skin, hair, bones, and meridians, because the former are more fragile. Simple physical cultivation will not have a good effect either.

  The body of a martial artist who has not yet reached the Xiantian stage does not have any Xiantian energy, and therefore cannot use Xiantian energy to cultivate. As a result, wealthy and influential families' children usually rely on the medicinal properties of spiritual medicine or elixirs to nourish their internal organs, blood, and acupoints.

  This method is not feasible for Mu Feng. The prices of spiritual medicine and elixir are extremely expensive, which ordinary families cannot afford, let alone Mu Feng's family situation.

  However, Mu Feng had the Heart Inflammation to help him temper his body, so there was no need to worry. What made Mu Feng anxious was that the recovery effect of ordinary herbal medicine on the body was minimal, and without a certain amount of spiritual medicine to recover, his own body would definitely not be able to withstand this high-intensity cultivation and tempering.

  It all comes back to money, he who had worried about tuition and living expenses in his past life, now worries about not having enough money to buy spiritual medicine for cultivation.

  It seems that no matter which world it is, the importance of money remains the same, Mu Feng sighed silently in his heart.

  These six months have been quite peaceful, and the Jiang brothers haven't come looking for trouble either. Maybe it's because of the last time they compared notes, but several times when I ran into Jiang Meng, Feng Gu, and others, they just let out a few vicious words and didn't take action again.

  But now with Mu Feng's strength, he is not afraid of their provocation. He is confident that he can fight Jiang Yong.

  At this time, Yang Zhan ran to the gate of the courtyard, panting and shouting: "Mu Feng, Hong Feng Martial Arts Hall and Jiang's family are about to fight at the intersection of Fangshi Road."

  "What's wrong?" Mu Feng saw Yang Zhan's anxious appearance and was somewhat perplexed, how did things suddenly escalate into a fight?

  "It's not just about Old Sun's land." Yang Zhan explained the situation to Mu Feng as they rushed towards the entrance of the Fang City.

  Originally, there was a piece of land next to the Hong Feng Town Market that belonged to an elderly bachelor surnamed Sun. Old Man Sun suddenly passed away last month, but he had no children, so the land temporarily became ownerless.

  At that time, the Red Maple Martial Arts Hall wanted to expand its scale in the town, and had thought of buying that piece of land from Old Man Sun. However, Old Man Sun was stubborn and refused to sell, so the Red Maple Martial Arts Hall had no choice but to give up.

  Now the Red Maple Martial Arts Hall saw that piece of land become ownerless, and again wanted to expand the scale of the market. However, the Jiang family coveted the benefits of the market, intervened, and proposed that the land belong to the people of Red Maple Town, requiring the Red Maple Martial Arts Hall to pay a large sum of spiritual coins.

  The Hong Feng Wu Guan would not let the Jiang family have their way, and the two sides were deadlocked over the land, arguing back and forth without a result. As a result, the people from both sides confronted each other at the entrance of the Fang Shi Road.

  When the two arrived, they saw two groups of people and horses facing each other across a street corner, with swords drawn and bows stretched, which were the Jiang family representing local forces and the Red Maple Martial Arts Hall representing external forces.

  On the side of Hong Feng Wu Guan, Mu Feng and Yang Zhan also saw their fathers Mu Chengzhi and Yang Sheng. In front of them stood a middle-aged man with a fierce aura, his face expressionless, with a scar on his left forehead adding to his ferocity, it was the master of Hong Feng Wu Guan, Meng Hu.

  Across from them, the first one was also a middle-aged man, with elegant clothes that exuded an air of nobility, and his face was full of arrogance. He was Jiang Wen's younger brother and the current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Wu.

  Behind Jiang Wu, Mu Feng also saw two familiar figures, Jiang Yong and Jiang Meng. Presumably, Jiang Wu brought them along to let them experience the world as well.

  However, Mu Feng saw that the Red Maple Martial Hall was slightly inferior to the Jiang family in terms of both numbers and quality of masters. After all, the Jiang family was a local power, not comparable to the Red Maple Martial Hall, which had only a decade or so of history as an outside force.

  "Jiang Wu, isn't this a bit too much? This broken land is worth 300,000 yuan?" Meng Hu said with a gloomy face.

  In fact, the three million yuan was not something that Meng Hu couldn't afford to pay, but as the overlord of Hong Feng Town, being brutally slaughtered by someone was indeed a terrible feeling, no wonder he was so furious.

  "It depends on what this land is used for. If Master Meng thinks it's not worth it, then this land should be returned to the local people of Hong Feng Town." Jiang Wu said slowly, emphasizing the word "local".

  "This land belongs to Old Sun, what can you Jiang family do about it?" Meng Hu let out a cold snort, his face revealing a sinister expression. If he wasn't wary of Jiang Wen, with Meng Hu's temper, he would have made his move long ago.

  "Since we can't agree on a price, why don't we try a different approach?" Jiang Wu said casually.

  "Just say what you want to say, don't be like a woman." Meng Hu scolded.

  The whole town of Hong Feng, only Meng Hu dared to speak to Jiang Wu like that. Jiang Wu was not angry either, pointing at Jiang Yong and saying: "You disciples of the Hong Feng Martial Arts Academy, as long as someone can last twenty moves under my son Jiang Yong's hands, this land will belong to your Hong Feng Martial Arts Academy. If you can't take it on, this land will belong to my Jiang family, how about that?"

  "Really?" Meng Hu knew that among his peers in Hong Feng Town, Jiang Yong was undoubtedly the first person, but twenty moves, shouldn't there be someone in the Wu Guan who could hold on?

  "I, Jiang Wu, have never broken a promise to anyone. There are many people here who can bear witness." Jiang Wu seemed very confident in front of Jiang Yong, and nodded in response to Meng Hu's questioning.

  "Liu Bao, you're up." Meng Hu pointed out a disciple from behind him.

  "Yes!"

  A young man also stood up and responded in a loud voice, full of momentum.

  Both sides retreated on their own, leaving a clearing for Liu Bao and Jiang Yong.

  Everyone's attention was focused on the two of them, and everyone knew that with Liu Pei's strength, he was definitely no match for Jiang Yong. It was just a matter of whether Liu Pei could last twenty moves under Jiang Yong's hands.

  Liu Bao rushed to the center of the field, shouting loudly and charging towards Jiang Yong.

  Jiang Yong was completely unbothered and responded with ease!

  In the center of the arena, the two men exchanged blows, their fight was still quite intense, and in an instant, they had already exchanged three moves.

  Looking at the two in the arena, Mu Feng shook his head and whispered to Yang Zhan: "Liu Bing is probably not going to last twenty moves."

  Yang Zhan also nodded in agreement: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to withstand more than twenty moves under Jiang Yong's hands." In these six months, he had also reached the middle stage of the Great Perfection of Body Refining.

  "Shattering Stone Palm, Palm Chops Mountain Rock!"

  Jiang Yong saw that the three moves had passed, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He took big strides, and in an instant he was beside Liu Pei. His right palm secretly gathered strength, accompanied by a burst of wind-breaking sound, and chopped down towards the latter.

  Liu Pei's face changed, his body slightly retreated to the side, and he dodged Jiang Yong's incoming right palm by chance. A pair of iron palms flew swiftly, covering Jiang Yong's body.

  Jiang Yong faced Liu Pei's iron palm, not retreating but advancing instead. His left palm shot out fiercely, while his right palm drew an arc, blocking Liu Pei's counterattack.

  Bang!

  Liu Bao suddenly felt a strong palm force transmitted from Jiang Yong's right palm and flew out backwards.

  A huge commotion all around!
