Chapter 107: Overawing the Hoodlums

  Two Han locals are secular experts, the highest level is generally limited to dry old men who have reached this level of respect, and most of the time they are in Wushan Mountain for quiet meditation, trying to pursue a leap in martial arts.

  After all, the practice has reached the true martial realm nine segments. The worldly martial arts have already reached the peak. Either break through the pass successfully and break into the pre-heavenly boundary, or it can only be stuck in the true martial realm nine segments for a lifetime.

  Therefore, these four great masters rarely show up in the secular world and are not recognized by outsiders. Although Song Lingfeng had no chance to meet the four great masters, he had a good understanding of them through rumors. He knew that there was a character like Zi Pao Dazun.

  At this thought, all his courage and blood instantly cooled down, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

  The Grandmaster in purple robes spoke with an even more severe tone and asked another question: "Is your surname Song?"

  "In the lower Song, Lingfeng is indeed a noble concubine" Song Lingfeng nodded his head, under the pressure of the lacquered grandeur, even someone as fierce as him couldn't help but feel a hint of fear.

  Obviously, Zǐ Páo Dà Zūn's tone and facial expression have already fully revealed his attitude.

  That's so annoying! Extremely annoying!

  "Alright, you're surnamed Song, then from today on, change your name to Song Zhong." The purple-robed grandmaster relaxed his hand. With a slight lift, he sent Song Lingfeng flying several steps back, gun and all.

  "Li Hu Fa!" The purple-robed grandmaster bellowed in a low voice.

  "Belonging to the lower ranks." Li Hu Fa sneered, his eyes gleaming with amusement, just like Song Ling Feng. He knew that Da Zun was truly angry this time, and it wouldn't be so easy to let things slide.

  This morning, the champion is really showing off. Only this kind of despicable bully would do such a thing. Didn't Song Lingfeng just boast about being unbeatable? Didn't he claim that he would make people regret living in this world?

  Let's see how you, Song Lingfeng, wrap things up today!

  "Watch these two young men closely and don't let any scoundrels approach them." The purple-robed grandmaster instructed.

  Yes

  Zi Pao Da Zun's tone changed as he stared at Song Lingfeng, his voice indifferent: "Do you know who he is?" He pointed at Qin Wu Xuan.

  "Unknowing", Song Lingfeng was completely stunned. This young man, no matter how he looked at him, didn't seem to be of any great importance. Apart from his exceptional martial skills, wasn't he just wearing a set of low-quality noble attire?

  "Do you know who I am?" The purple-robed grandmaster's tone grew heavier.

  "I know, you are the true martial saint, the great and revered one." Song Lingfeng replied cautiously. "Good, at least your eyes aren't completely in the back of your head. Today's matter, because your subordinate bullied someone, won't be fake, right?"

  "Dai Zun, however, he also smashed the golden signboard of my Qifeng Building. That was a gift from the noble concubine Hui, and it's extremely valuable." Song Lingfeng can now only play his last trump card. He hopes to borrow the golden face of the Emperor of Baiyue Country to temporarily get through this pass.

  He still hasn't figured it out until now. A small foreign youth, how did he first bring the protector of the True Martial Sacred Land? This is not enough, and then another one comes.

  This time, one came, but it wasn't a guardian of that level, rather, a revered being directly arrived, someone he didn't even have the qualification to look up to.

  And it's a great honor!

  Even His Majesty the Emperor must show seven parts of respect in front of a great dignitary, let alone Song Mouren.

  This is why? He doesn't understand.

  However, the Purple Robed Great Ancestor apparently didn't plan on explaining anything either. He coldly laughed repeatedly, glanced at the messy scene in front of the Qifeng Building's entrance, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he nodded: "You smashed your own signboard?"

  "Yes, Big Brother, even if we have some conflicts with each other, it's not right to ruin someone's reputation, is it?"

  The purple-robed man sneered with a smile: "Good smash, if he didn't smash it, I would have smashed it when I came. This signboard of yours would have been smashed just the same."

  Song Lingfeng heard this and almost trembled, stuttering: "Great sir, why is this? I have always been law-abiding, harmonious and wealth-generating, this signboard was also given by the Marquis of Huiguo"

  Zi Pao Da Zun furrowed his brow: "Ban Gui Fei?"

  "Yes, as a noble consort, the emperor's most favored concubine, Consort Liang, is actually my younger sister."

  "Is that so?" Da Zun Zhe sneered again, "It's precisely because of Ban Gui Fei that you can arbitrarily shout and scold people in Qi Feng Lou, can take the lives of passersby at will, and bully others with your power, right?"

  Song Lingfeng's heart skipped a beat. A faint sense of foreboding arose. From the tone of Da Zun, it was clear that he didn't put any importance on the title of Huigui Fei at all.

  "No, I don't dare." Thinking of this, his tone weakened by another three points.

  "How dare you? Are you saying he was wrong to smash your signboard? You retaliated with a deadly move, aiming to take his life. Is that right?"

  Song Lingfeng's mood at this moment can only be described in four words: wanting to cry but having no tears.

  The Purple Robe Great Lord apparently didn't want to provoke any more arguments either. He swept his gaze across the entire scene: "One sentence, Qifeng Tower, closed for business!"

  "Closed down?" Song Lingfeng's heart skipped a beat.

  "Don't you want to stop?"

  Song Lingfeng cried out: "Great sir, our whole family's livelihood depends on this Qiufeng Building. If it stops operating, we'll really have no way to make a living."

  "You can continue to live, and hopefully by the time Wu Sheng is done with this matter, your entire family will still be alive." The purple-robed grandmaster finished speaking, flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly, and was about to leave.

  Martial Saint? Song Lingfeng was completely stunned, how did this matter get related to Martial Saint again? Martial Saint has been cultivating in seclusion on Martial Saint Mountain for many years, and almost never asks about worldly affairs. Could it be that this young man is a relative of Martial Saint?

  It's impossible.

  The relatives of the Great Martial Saint can't possibly be low-ranking nobles, what's going on here?

  "Great sir, please stay for a while, don't go" Song Lingfeng pleaded, "I'll close the shop, I'll close the shop, right away"

  The original intention of Zǐ páo dà zūn was to punish Sòng Língfēng, and did not want his family to be ruined. After all, Qín Wúshuāng had not suffered any losses and still had the upper hand.

  If something happened to Qin Wushuang, the situation would be completely different. What's a concubine like Ban Gui Fei compared to someone of higher status?

  If the Grand Lord wants to destroy Song Lingfeng, there is no need to consider any factors that would provoke the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is just a temporary favorite, after all. If the Grand Lord wants to deal with her, within three days, she can be made to fall out of favor and be sent to the Cold Palace, never to see the light of day again.

  Since Qin Wushuang didn't cause any trouble, Da Zunzhe also didn't want to reveal too much. After all, the sharp power of the True Martial Sacred Land was too strong for secular forces. If he rashly broke the balance of secular powers, it would easily lead to unrest and panic.

  "Want to repent?" The purple-robed grandmaster stared for a long time before speaking faintly.

  "Please have mercy on me, Your Honor." Song Lingfeng also knew when to yield and when to resist, and he begged pitifully.

  Then stop for a month first. If it's still the old Qifeng Building, and there's a second time, then you, Song, don't need to mix in the imperial capital anymore.

  Zi Pao Da Zun's tone became noticeably stern. "Yes, yes, yes." Song Lingfeng replied repeatedly.

  "We walked away with Zi Gong Da Zun and no longer went to see Song Lingfeng, calling out to Li Hu Fa in a loud voice."

  Yes.

  Qin Wushuang smiled slightly, he was also somewhat surprised, didn't expect that Tongyan's one sentence could invite the Great Honored One to come in person. It should be known that the Great Honored One rarely walked among mortals and got involved with these trivial rights and wrongs.

  Li Hu Fa glanced at Song Ling Feng with a provocative gaze as he was about to leave. At this time, Song Ling Feng was already at a disadvantage and didn't dare make any moves.

  Staring blankly like a wooden chicken as the purple-robed grandmaster left with a group of people, he finally came to his senses. Rubbing his forehead, he found himself drenched in cold sweat.

  Take another look at the scene, both of the loyal guards have lost their lives, and he can't help but feel a mix of sadness and anger, gritting his teeth and saying: "That young man, what's his background!? Investigate him for me, I must get to the bottom of this!"

  "The husband is the dog of the house!"

  From a distance, Jiudangjia was frantically running while waving his hand and shouting loudly: "Dadangjia, Fei Daren has something important to say, please let me convey it to you."

  How much?

  Song Lingfeng was just feeling depressed, thinking what words would Lord Fei say again?

  Jiu Dangjia walked up close and didn't see Qin Wushuang and others, so he softly called out: "Where are they?"

  Song Lingfeng was displeased and shouted: "What does Lord Fei have to say?"

  Jiudangjia looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, then said: "Fei Daren asked me to inform you that according to his calculations, the Wutong trial in the Tianyeshan mountain range should have already ended. If it's a foreign Wutong, please investigate whether he is one of the Wutongs who passed this trial and find out what his trial results are like."

  Song Lingfeng's entire body was as if struck by lightning, and he instantly petrified. His heart wailed in distress, but suddenly he had a great awakening. He muttered to himself: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

  Suddenly glaring: "Why didn't you come earlier?"

  The ninth master panted and said: "As soon as I received Mr. Fei's order, I ran with all my might and didn't stop on the way."

  Song Lingfeng's anger had nowhere to vent, and he shouted: "This matter was all caused by you. If you had a bit more foresight, would it have ended up like this?"

  The ninth master of the house felt wronged, usually not being lectured by the eldest master. When encountering troublemakers, he couldn't lose the face of the Phoenix Building, and when it was time to take action, he had to take action.

  Just as he was about to say something, Song Lingfeng shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Immediately issue an order, Qifeng Building will be suspended for rectification, temporarily set for one month."

  "Closed for business?" The boss of the ninth shop was stunned.

  "Execute!" Song Lingfeng's anger was uncontrollable, and he ordered, "Double the compensation for the families of the dead, and give them a grand burial! Execute immediately! I will attack, request to see Empress Shu".

  The ninth master vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but seeing the eldest master in such a rage, who dared to utter even half a word of inquiry? He hastily and obediently went to carry out the task.

  Qin Wushuang walked behind Ziyu Dazun, suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked Tongyan: "Brother Tong, where did you arrange for those three old ladies?"

  "I've let them all leave the capital. That thing of theirs, although miserable, is definitely not something that can be reported. Rather than lingering here, it's better to go home."

  Qin Wushuang was silent, as if lost in thought. This matter, he always felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

  Heavy-hearted and with many worries following closely behind, the encounter at the Phoenix Pavilion had long been forgotten.

  In his view, this little storm in Quefeng Building was just a small episode. What he missed seemed to be a big theme related to him.

  Compared to the fifth watch, it's a real test of strength. The fingers that typed out the chapters are really numb now. And today during the day, the monthly ticket almost didn't move, being chased by those behind one after another. New book monthly tickets have many variables. It's possible for the wind direction to completely change overnight. Some factors are very complicated and not worth mentioning. But there is one thing that is certain: competing for monthly tickets is absolutely not an easy task. Inside, there are all sorts of intricacies that even I am learning step by step as I go along. It requires the efforts of all Star River fans. When everyone adds their firewood, the flames will rise high. Only when more and more Star River fans cast their monthly tickets can we maintain our lead in this month-long marathon. Brothers, let the monthly ticket fire burn fiercely! Tomorrow's update definitely won't be lacking either!
