Chapter 58: Long Huan Appears

  Du Fei was startled by what the middle-aged man said and swallowed his saliva, saying: "Are you afraid that I, a little ghost, am not strong enough?"

  "Haha, joke, you little devil, I'm afraid of you? Although you have treasures on your body that allow you to fly in the air, from the battle just now, I know that you're not very strong. You ruined my good deed, what's wrong with killing you with my own hands?" The middle-aged man's tone became extremely cold and stern as he spoke.

  "Alright, you can kill me if you want. But how do I know you're really the Mineral Hill? If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have come to ruin your good fortune."

  "You have a sharp tongue, but it's useless to say these things to me. You're going to die." The middle-aged man spoke as he struck out with his palm, and a huge boulder suddenly shot towards Du Fei's location. Du Fei was also shocked by the flying boulder and quickly raised his left hand to block it. With a loud "boom", the boulder shattered into dust upon impact with Du Fei, but he remained unscathed, floating in mid-air. He let out a sigh of relief as he gazed at the middle-aged man.

  The middle-aged man standing on the ground was also stunned, he never thought that his rock attack would be easily resolved by Du Fei. The middle-aged man spoke: "Little ghost, not bad, you can actually block my rock, it seems that you have a great treasure in your body, I think you'd better hand it over, and I can spare your life."

  "Hmph, you think I'm a kid and can be easily deceived? If I were to entrust myself to you, that would be seeking death." Du Fei said disdainfully.

  "Hmph, you don't drink the toast, so you'll have to drink the penalty wine." The middle-aged man coldly snorted and flew up into the air, heading straight for Du Fei's location. Du Fei saw the middle-aged man flying towards him to capture him, and he quickly turned around and fled swiftly. However, the middle-aged man was hot on Du Fei's heels, his hands forming a seal as he launched another attack at Du Fei. Du Fei turned around and saw the middle-aged man forming a hand seal, and his heart sank as he said, "I'm in trouble, that guy has caught up to me and is preparing to attack me again." As Du Fei spoke, the middle-aged man's hand seal was complete, and with a push of both hands, dozens of long spears made of rock shot out towards Du Fei. The speed at which the spears flew was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to reach Du Fei.

  Du Fei held the Wordless Heavenly Book in front of him and shouted, "This time it's your turn!" As he spoke, Du Fei wildly swung his left arm. A series of clanging sounds rang out, and just as the long spear was about to pierce Du Fei, it was shattered by the Wordless Heavenly Book that Du Fei had swung. Du Fei turned around and flew away once again.

  The middle-aged man's eyes widened in anger as he saw his attack being neutralized once more. He hadn't expected Du Fei to shatter his stone spear into pieces. The middle-aged man quickened his pace, chasing after Du Fei with renewed speed. His hands formed a seal once more, and a silver-white long spear appeared in his hand.

  "I'll see just how powerful your treasure is, you little demon!" the middle-aged man shouted as he hurled the silver spear at Du Fei with a loud whooshing sound. Du Fei turned around and held the Wordless Heavenly Book in front of him to deflect the attack.

  Du Fei accurately caught the trajectory of the silver spear, which collided with the Wordless Heavenly Book. However, due to the middle-aged man's immense strength, the silver spear continued to shorten as it struck the book. A piercing metallic screeching sound echoed through the air.

  The middle-aged man was shocked to see his silver spear being blocked by Du Fei's shield-like object. He stopped chasing and stared at Du Fei in astonishment, exclaiming, "How is this possible?"

  Du Fei also let out a few sighs of relief as he gazed at the middle-aged man suspended in mid-air. The two were now panting heavily, staring each other down. The middle-aged man spoke up first, "You little demon, don't think you can escape. You won't be able to get out of my grasp, I advise you to hand over the treasure." Du Fei looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Old mixed hair, stop showing off your eloquence. If you could catch me, you wouldn't be saying so much. I'm advising you not to chase after me, it's impossible for you to catch up to me."

  "You little demon, don't think I really can't catch you. Since you insist on not handing it over, I have no choice but to get serious." As he spoke, the middle-aged man suddenly disappeared from sight. Du Fei saw the middle-aged man disappear in front of him and was also shocked and looked around hastily, saying: "Where did this guy go?" Just as Du Fei was panicking, a low, muffled voice came: "Little demon, die!" Du Fei turned his head abruptly and saw a strong, muscular palm coming towards him. Du Fei closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at the incoming palm, shouting loudly: "Ah."

  At this time, the middle-aged man's face was ferocious, and when he saw Du Fei about to be caught by himself, he also burst out laughing. Suddenly a flash of light rushed over and hugged Du Fei's body away from the middle-aged man's grasp. The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly narrowed, staring at the front with an incredulous expression, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Long Huan, it's you."

  Du Fei's eyes snapped open when he heard the middle-aged man mention the two words "Long Huan". He found himself being held by a sturdy and powerful arm. When he looked up, he saw Long Huan staring back at him. Du Fei's frightened expression turned into one of joy as he exclaimed: "Uncle Huan, it's really you!" Long Huan's expression was unusually serious, his eyes fixed intently on the middle-aged man. He smiled slightly when he heard Du Fei call out to him, but didn't lower his head to look at Du Fei. Du Fei also sensed the tension in the air and followed Long Huan's gaze to the middle-aged man. With a thought, the Wordless Heavenly Book disappeared from his arm into the midst of the crowd.

  "Xuan Zang Zi, how did you end up here?" Long Heng asked solemnly. The Xuan Zang Zi that Long Heng spoke of was the middle-aged man who had been chasing after Du Fei.

  "What's wrong? Is there something improper, Brother Longhao?" Xuanzangzi spoke with a hint of disdain.

  "If I'm not mistaken, this doesn't seem to be the place you're supposed to come to, does it? You seem to have violated the agreement of our Beast Alliance. According to the treaty, don't I have the right to take action against an intruder?" Long Huan's voice turned exceptionally cold. Du Fei was also confused by the conversation between the two, but from their dialogue, he also knew that Long Huan and Yinzangzi still wanted to recognize each other. Du Fei didn't speak up, only carefully observing the movements of the two.

  "You... you dare, even if you take action, I won't be afraid of you." Xuan Zangzi also spoke with some urgency after hearing Long Huan's words.

  "What's wrong with you? Do you want to start a war between the two clans or something? My dragon clan isn't afraid of you turtle birds." Long Heng coldly cursed.

  "Long Huan, you'd better not overstep your bounds. When has the Xuanwu clan ever been afraid of you and those miscellaneous dragons? If you want to fight, I'll accompany you anytime." Xuan Cangzi also revealed a ferocious expression.

  "Haha, joke, you're acting wildly on my turf and still think you're in the right? I won't fight you today, but next time I'll just have to tell the members of the Beast Alliance about this." Long Huan said coldly, staring at Xuan Zangzi with wide eyes.

  "You, I was wrong to offend you today, I can apologize and make amends, but first I want that little demon in your hand." Xuan Zangzi's tone also seemed somewhat subdued, as if he was wary of something.

  "Haha, Bird Turtle, I think you're dreaming, daring to negotiate with me on my own turf. You really don't put the Beast Alliance in your eyes, do you? You can't be thinking that just because you're a Xuanwu clan member, you can withstand the entire Beast Alliance, right?" Long Huan's words were accompanied by a terrifying killing intent.

  Xuan Zang Zi felt the killing intent emanating from Long Huan's body and was somewhat unwilling to admit defeat, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect: "Today's matter is my fault, please forgive me, Dragon Clan elder. We will meet again another day, and I will personally come to your doorstep to apologize." After finishing speaking, Xuan Zang Zi prepared to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Long Huan's cold rebuke: "Hold on, this person is a noble guest of my dragon clan. You offended my dragon clan's guest and just walk away like that? Don't you think that's too disrespectful towards my dragon clan?"

  Xuan Zangzi was so angry upon hearing Long Huan's words that he couldn't speak for half a day, his eyes filled with resentment and anger as he stared at Long Huan. He then turned to Du Fei, cupped his hands in salute and said: "I didn't know the young brother was a noble guest of the dragon tribe, I apologize for my earlier offense, please forgive me." Du Fei saw Xuan Zangzi apologizing to him and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh secretly, completely ignoring Xuan Zangzi's apology. Xuan Zangzi also didn't bother looking at Long Huan and Du Fei again, turned around and swiftly disappeared with a wave of his hand.

  Long Huan couldn't help but laugh at this moment, and Du Fei also burst out laughing with his hands covering his mouth. Long Huan followed closely behind as Du Fei flew rapidly towards the direction of Cifu Pavilion.

  The Hall of Benevolent Father

  "Hao Shu, how did you appear here?" Du Fei asked excitedly, still reeling from what had just happened.

  Long Heng also gently stroked Du Fei's head and smiled: "I originally came to find you today, but found that you were not in the Cifu Pavilion. I took out your Suixin Yu and saw that your yuanqi was fluctuating very badly. I thought you had encountered some danger, so I rushed over. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I encountered what happened just now."

  "Oh, luckily Uncle Huang you arrived just in time, if you were a step later I would..." Du Fei didn't finish speaking, he just trembled his head and stared at Long Huang.

  "Heh heh, little guy." Long Heng rubbed Du Fei's head again and continued, "Ah, right, how did you run into that guy? And why did he want to catch you?"

  Du Fei found a stool and sat down, beginning to tell Long Huan about the ins and outs of what had happened...
