Chapter 0006: The Green-Faced Demon's Leaf of Southern Heaven

  In a small courtyard in the northeast corner of Taihang Town, dozens of black-clad masked men stood in four rows, arrayed and waiting. Facing them was a person wearing a mask and another black-clad masked man, with a red silk ribbon tied around his right arm, apparently used to distinguish identities.

  The man wearing a mask said to the crowd: [Just now, the scout reported that Xu Shen's daughter Xu Qingqing has returned. The leader ordered that Xu Qingqing must be caught, so as to force Xu Shen to surrender.]

  "Don't worry, Ambassador, I, Wei, will definitely live up to your expectations and complete the task." The masked man with a red ribbon tied around his head guaranteed.

  Since Master Wei is so confident, then let's celebrate Master Wei's triumphant return. The person wearing a mask bowed and said to Master Wei.

  Don't worry! Let's go! Wei Xiang said as he waved his hand and led all the black-clad men away.

  Xu Shen, this time I'll see how you escape? The legacy of Shennong Valley will only belong to me. The person wearing a mask said with full of hatred after everyone left.

  The car finally arrived in Taihang Town at 7:13 pm without a hitch.

  After getting off the car, everyone went their separate ways. Yang Aiqian and Nie Feng found a hotel to stay in. After settling into their room, the two of them went out to eat.

  Big brother, can you tell me if Liu Yan and the others will be able to find that Dr. Xu? As he walked through the streets of Taihang Town, Nie Feng's mind was still on Liu Yan, that beautiful college student.

  I don't know, and I don't want to know either. This matter has nothing to do with us. Tomorrow, you stay in town, I'll be going into the mountains for a while, wait for me here. Yang Aiqian had already done what he needed to do, besides, he had his own matters to attend to. He came to Taihang Mountain specifically to break through the third layer of Hunyuan Divine Art.

  "Alright!" Nie Feng replied nonchalantly.

  At the same time, Xu Qingqing led Lao Ren, Xiao Yi, Liu Yan and Lin Yin back home.

  Xu Qingqing's home is a small farmhouse with a courtyard inside which has a small field, and in the field are planted several kinds of vegetables.

  "Ah, is this your home?" Lingyun asked curiously as soon as she stepped inside the gate, looking at the exquisitely laid out courtyard.

  "Yes, all of these were arranged by my dad. He said that only green foods are healthy to eat. The vegetables we buy are all grown with fertilizers and have too many chemicals, which is bad for the body." Xu Qingqing explained with a smile.

  Slap

  Bang!

  Slap

  ……

  Suddenly there was a burst of applause, and then all that could be heard was: [As expected of Xu Shen's daughter, the way she speaks is indeed different from others.]

  Everyone heard the sound and looked over, only to see a person standing on the rooftop. The person was wearing black clothes, with their face covered, and had a red silk ribbon tied around their arm. It was none other than Wei Xiang Zhu, whose identity was unknown.

  "Who are you? What brings you to my home?" Xǔ Qīngqīng asked sternly.

  I am a friend of your father's, and I have come especially to take you to see him," said Mr. Wayland, laughing loudly.

  "Nonsense, I've never seen you before!" Xǔ Qīngqīng said loudly.

  So you won't follow me willingly? Wei Xiang's tone suddenly turned cold.

  "Yes, I don't even know you, why should I go with you?" Qingqing said loudly.

  It's really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, it seems I have no choice but to use force, come on, please call Miss Xu.

  As soon as the voice fell, dozens of black-clad men appeared and surrounded Xu Qingqing and others.

  What kind of people are you? This time, the speaker was not Xu Qingqing, but Xiao Yi's grandfather.

  Old man, don't interfere in other people's business, we only want Xu Qingqing, otherwise, I won't mind sending you on your way. Wei Xiang's killing intent was palpable.

  You're quite arrogant, I may be old but I'd like to see what you're capable of. The old man coughed lightly and took a step forward.

  Xiang Zhu, he's coming towards us this morning, shall we make our move? A man in black transmitted a message to Wei Xiang Zhu.

  It's just an old man, if it were usual times, he would have been killed long ago. Wei Xiangzhu's eyes had a strong intention to kill, but he clearly understood the importance of today's action, so he said to his subordinates: "Don't make unnecessary moves." As he spoke, he released a powerful aura, he was the strongest in this team, reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining stage.

  Invisible pressure, crushing down.

  If it were an ordinary person, they would have been intimidated by Wei Xiang's aura and trembled with fear.

  [Haha......] Suddenly, laughter erupted.

  Wei Xiangzhu and his subordinates were shocked to see that the old man was smiling, and this group of black-clad men immediately understood that the old man in front of them was absolutely not an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been intimidated by this aura and trembled to the ground long ago, where could he still smile?

  Boom!

  A powerful and intangible aura of intimidation was released from the old man, as if a turbulent wave directly enveloped the group of black-clad men.

  The men in black present were all shocked!

  This old man... is not just an ordinary person, but a powerful existence that far surpasses them.

  "In the presence of Lord Wei Zheng, these are all juniors under him, may I ask for your esteemed surname and great name?" Wei Xiangzhu hastily said with respect.

  "My name is not something you can know, if you want to live, then quickly roll away." The old man's voice was very low and calm, making it impossible for others to guess his thoughts.

  "This old man's aura fluctuations should be at the level of the Seventh Heaven of the Refining Qi stage, and he doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions towards us. We can't afford to force a fight." Wei Zheng whispered to his subordinates.

  "Understood, Master of Fragrance." The group of black-clad men responded in unison.

  I don't know which friend has caused my subordinates to be disturbed, Ye Mou specially came to apologize. Just then, a purple copper warship flew from the depths of Taizhang Mountain, the speed of the warship was extremely fast, and as soon as the sound arrived, the warship followed closely behind, and on the purple copper warship stood twelve armored guards.

  On the purple copper warship, a battle flag was inserted, and there was a pattern of a strange beast on the battle flag.

  Huǒ Zhì Niǎo? Liè Huǒ Jiào? The old man immediately recognized the origin of this war flag, which is a notorious banner known to everyone in Jianghu.

  The bronze warship arrived above the small courtyard and stopped there.

  Would you like to join our Flame Sect? I can appoint you as the Hall Master! A man in a blue ancient long gown walked out of the warship.

  Are you Qingmianmo Ye Nantian? The old man's voice was trembling slightly.

  Your Excellency indeed has a good eye for people, I am Ye Nantian, the Deputy Master of the Blazing Fire Sect. The man in the cyan long robe replied with a smile.

  "This purple bronze warship seems to be a treasure, have you already broken through the Refining Qi stage?" The old man asked in surprise.

  You have a good eye, a month ago, with the help of the elder in the sect, I officially successfully advanced to the first stage, now my strength is already at the first stage. Ye Nantian seemed to be in a great mood due to his breakthrough.

  Ye Jiaozhu, now that you're at your strongest, it's up to you. Whether to kill or to pardon, the decision is yours. The old man said listlessly.

  Ye Nantian smiled and said: "Your words seem to imply that I, Ye, am an unreasonable person. Alright, today if you join my Lihuo Sect, I will let them go. Of course, Xu Qingqing is absolutely not allowed to be released, she is crucial to my Lihuo Sect and cannot be lost."

  Yang Aiqian and Nie Feng, who were originally going to eat, suddenly saw something flying from the sky. Out of curiosity, they followed it and lay on the rooftop to observe the development of the situation.

  Big brother, what are those people doing? How can there even be flying saucers? Nie Feng asked in a low voice.

  "I don't know, looks like it's very powerful!" Yang Aiyan casually replied.

  Saying that, Yang Ai's heart was actually churning with waves. How could this be? The other party was unexpectedly the vice sect master of a certain sect and had even broken through to the first stage. Although he still didn't understand how strong the first stage was up until now, he knew it must be very powerful because of that purple copper warship.

  After recalling the pagoda and the mysterious scripture of wealth within his body, Yang Aifeng understood that the opponent was an existence that he could only confront after breaking through the third layer of the Mixed Yuan Divine Art.

  Leaf Sect Master, I'll be honest with you, I've been poisoned by the Dark Ice Palm and my days are numbered. As for joining your sect, let's just forget about it. As for Xu Qingqing, I can no longer control her either. Please show mercy and let us leave.

  A man under another's roof cannot help but lower his head; the old man, supporting his frail body, cupped his hands in a salute.

  Nie Feng, you go back to our hotel immediately now. Yang Aiqian finally made a decision at this time, which is to have a good fight.

  "What about you, big brother?" Nie Feng asked.

  I'll take another look, your strength is too weak, staying here will easily get you discovered, let me see if I can help in any way. Yang Ai'er replied.

  Big brother, be careful! Nie Feng also knew his own weight, so he withdrew.
