Not A Cultivator

Not only that, the Zhao Clan worked with the Li Gao Yun from the Li Clan and also someone from the Feng Clan. Only one word could describe this. Spy!

It was common for a clan to plant a spy with one another. But, mostly those spies would be harmless and was only used to acquire information. However, knowing there"s a spy in their household was just a slap in the face. Furthermore, this was from the Zhao Clan, who was the initiator of this problem in the first place.

"Investigate anyone suspicious from four days ago." Feng Zhong Tian gave the order to one of his guards. Based on Li Gao Yun"s statement, probably the Zhao Clan contacted the spy four days ago. "We must find whoever it is!"

The guard nodded, he turns and headed back for the investigations.

It was truly a tiring day. This whole event has truly been a roller coaster. Feng Ao Xiu was relieved that it was over, he just wants to go home now and rest.

Unfortunately, the worst part of today was not the Li Clan, it"s also not Chang Jian, not the spy, or even the Zhao Clan. The nightmare was born his own disciple, Xie Jing.

As a disciple, Xie Jing has been watching the match and even support the Qian Brothers the entire time. He also sent some guards from the Xie Clan to help kill the Zhao Clan"s a.s.sa.s.sins and the Li Clan.

However, there"s just something that he could not understand. Just like an ordinary disciple, he wanted to know the intention of his master that he could not even comprehend.

"Master Feng, forgive me for asking. But, why did you not save Young Master Li? And, why did you let go of Chang Jian?"

"Ehh..." This sudden question threw Feng Ao Xiu by surprise.

It also piqued interests from the surroundings. While most of them chase after the Li Clan, some of them who bet on Li Gao Yun, and the all the Clan Lords who does not need to chase were still here.

They also find it weird, an Ancient Earth Realm Expert was supposedly able to detect an oncoming a.s.sa.s.sin, moreover, Feng Ao Xiu was a genius. At that time Li Gao Yun was about to tell the information, it would be a better action for Feng Ao Xiu to save Li Gao Yu.

Even, if he somehow cannot protect Li Gao Yun, he should be able to chase after Chang Jian. An a.s.sa.s.sin was disadvantageous in a direct confrontation. If Feng Ao Xiu gave a chase, he would be able to win.

Cold sweats run rapidly from Feng Ao Xiu"s forehead. His own disciple asked him a question, as his master it would be weird if he did not answer.

"What do you think could make me, an Ancient Earth Realm Expert could not detect him?"

Feng Ao Xiu also did not know how to answer. He could only throw a question with another question.

Xie Jing felt very satisfied with Feng Ao Xiu. His master did not give the answer directly, but let him think the appropriate answer to test his wits and strategy. As this was a small test, Xie Jing thinks very hard before giving an answer.

"Hmm... Chang Jian was an Ancient Mortal Realm Expert, although his sneaking skill was the best, it should not be able to past Master Feng"s detection. The difference between Ancient Mortal Realm and Ancient Earth Realm was like heaven and earth... Could it be... Chang Jian was also an Ancient Earth Realm Cultivator!?"

"Correct!" Feng Ao Xiu nodded.

All the people gasped. Chang Jian was actually another Ancient Earth Realm Expert. The Number One a.s.sa.s.sin always been hiding the entire time and only show his face when he kills. Not many people know his true cultivation level, they only know they could not detect his aura, thus at least he was an Ancient Mortal Realm. Now, it"s been confirmed that he"s an Ancient Earth Realm by Feng Ao Xiu, it must be true.

Xie Jing continued, "Then, Chang Jian runs away. He knew to face another Ancient Earth Realm would be disadvantageous since he has been discovered. However, Master Feng did not give chase..."

Xie Jing slapped his own palm, "I see! It was intentional! Master Feng, could it be that you have laid some kind of plan?"

"Correct!" Feng Ao Xiu nodded.

The other people agreed, this was the only explainable reason. Feng Ao Xiu would not just let his enemy run free, he must have some kind of counterattack, but what it is?

"Hmmm..." Xie Jing shook his head. "I"m sorry, I did not have any idea what Master Feng would do."

All the attention turned back to Feng Ao Xiu. Now that Xie Jing could not continue, he has to explain. "There"s no need to give chase. I"ve imbued a Qi on his clothes. I know where ever he is!"

This was the best answer he could get. It"s not like some kind of random plan would mean he could inflict some pain or even capture the Number One a.s.sa.s.sin.

"So it was like that! Young Master Ao Xiu let him go, so he could retreat. That way Young Master Ao Xiu could discover his friends. Then, ambush them all in one fell swoop!" said someone listening closely.

"Correct!" Feng Ao Xiu nodded.

"But, isn"t Chang Jian working with the Zhao Clan? There"s no reason to track him then?" another one said.

They turned their attention back to Feng Ao Xiu waiting for his answer.

Meanwhile, Feng Ao Xiu gritted his teeth. Whatever he says there"s always a counter for it. "Zhao Clan has another ally. I could smell it from the start."

"That"s right!" An elder said, "The Zhao Clan could not possibly recruit the Number One a.s.sa.s.sin. Either they have an expert that could move Chang Jian, or allied themselves with one."

"Correct!" Feng Ao Xiu nodded.

"Young Master Feng, who is it then?" asked someone.

Feng Ao Xiu knows it"s better not to answer this one. Just spouting some names would be dangerous. It"s better to give some vague answer.

"I don"t know exactly. But considering he"s going northeast, I say it would be someone from the Great You Empire."

The conversation leads into two directions. The first was the direction Chang Jian went to.

"Northeast!? Didn"t he just leave through from the southwest?"

"You fool! Of course, Chang Jian used a misdirection. Haven"t you heard make sounds in the east, then strike in the west."

"Correct!" Feng Ao Xiu nodded.

The second part of the conversation was about the powerful ally.

"What... The Great You Empire!! This is not easy..."

All of them became nervous. Initially, they wanted to help Feng Ao Xiu as they could to earn a favour from him. But, if the enemies were from the Great You Empire, their clan should step back. Furthermore, the Xiang Lan Nation and Great You Empire were currently at war with each other, it would not be easy to go there.

Feng Ao Xiu felt quite good about himself. Unexpectedly, this conversation has turned into his favour. What good was that these clans would stay away from him while he fights against this imaginary enemy. The downside was they might not help him even if it was his request considering they do not want to be implicated. But, it was worth it since his secret was the most important thing.

Xie Jing could not help but ask, "Master Feng, what are you trying to do now?"

This was an important question. The Zhao Clan was affiliated with Chang Jian and someone powerful from the Great You Empire, it will not be easy. Obviously, Feng Ao Xiu was at a disadvantage, he could fight 2 or 3 or even more people in Ancient Earth Realm Expert. No one will blame him even if he decided to not pursue the Zhao Clan.

However, Feng Ao Xiu knew it was only an imaginary enemy. He believes he could handle the Zhao Clan and Chang Jian in the long term by using the pure coloured spirit stones. This was a chance to get rid of these Clan Lords that pursue to have an alliance with him.

"I"m afraid of no one!" said Feng Ao Xiu arrogantly.

With Feng Ao Xiu"s proclamation, they started singing praises about how brave Feng Ao Xiu was.

"As expected, from Young Master Feng!"

"I could not expect anything more!"

"Of course, it was Feng Ao Xiu. Did you think he would run away!?"

"Correct!" Feng Ao Xiu nodded.

"Wait!! Noooo..." someone shouted while leaping forward. "Young Master Ao Xiu please don"t anything dangerous."

It was Yang Xue Yi. She was here from the beginning, accompanying her father. However, most of the time, she just sits there doing nothing. She does not want to disturb, and satisfied with watching Feng Ao Xiu from afar. That was until she heard what Feng Ao Xiu planning.

She would do anything to make Feng Ao Xiu not fight. It was the reason she cancelled the engagement with Feng Ao Xiu in the first place, so he does not have to fight Heavenly Wolf Temple.

Feng Ao Xiu would of course persist, he has nothing to lose. "I will fight until the day I die!"

She could not withstand watching the person she loves to fight in what possibly would be a losing match. "Why!? Why would you do that!? Then, there"s no reason for me to cancel our engagement!"

Yang Xue Yi got a point. If Feng Ao Xiu was going to fight in a battle that could be scarier than the Heavenly Wolf Temple, then all her efforts were wasted.

Of course, Yang Wen Jia was listening very closely. He just suddenly heard something weird.

["Then, there"s no reason for me to cancel our engagement!"]

[The one that cancelled the engagement was Yang Xue Yi, not Feng Ao Xiu! What does this mean!?]

He quickly asked, "Young Master Feng, did you have any intention to cancel the engagement? Does this mean you will help the Yang Clan defeated the Heavenly Wolf Temple?"

"Correct!", Feng Ao Xiu nodded.

"Ehhh..." Something"s very wrong. This conversation went in the wrong direction.
