Chapter 594: Unforeseen Fortune

In fact, the name Li Langfeng had already become somewhat vague in Hou Qingsen’s memory.

Li Langfeng was too insignificant a person for him to remember.

After all, Li Langfeng had come from a small clan. Compared to the other disciples in a major sect like the Poison Sect, his background was too low to be memorable.

The Li Clan had been among the smallest of all of the subordinate clans of the Spirit God Sect.

Therefore, when he had learned that Li Langfeng had only taken him as his master and cultivated hard because he had sworn to himself that he would make Wu Qinghe from the Spirit God Sect pay for his crime, he betrayed him without even thinking about it.

After all, Wu Qinghe, who was also from a major sect, was in the same class as him, not to mention that he had Chang Qiu, one of the Spirit God Sect elders, at his back.

If Li Langfeng somehow made high achievements in his cultivation and threatened Wu Qinghe’s safety, he, as Li Langfeng’s master, would be in trouble.

The choice was easy to make, since it had been between Li Langfeng, who was from a low background, and Chang Qiu, who was a powerful figure from the Spirit God Sect.

He never expected that Li Langfeng was the reason why Nie Tian would refuse to sell those Fiend scrolls to him.

Hou Qingsen struggled to suppress his anger, and asked with a slightly distorted face, “Are you sure that you want to start a feud with the Poison Sect just for a puny insect like Li Langfeng?”

The numerous Worldly realm and Profound realm experts from the other sects also looked rather confused.

People had a strong sense of hierarchy in the Domain of the Falling Stars. Lowborn Qi warriors like Li Langfeng, who didn’t have any powerful sects to back them, were usually ignored.

Powerful sects that had long histories and Soul realm experts would only treat Qi warriors from sects that were equally powerful with respect.

To them, those from insignificant backgrounds were nothing but punching bags that they could bully and humiliate all them wanted.

The reason why Ji Qingyun from the Heaven Expanse Sect had dared to come by himself and make those unreasonable demands was exactly because the sects from the Realm of Flame Heaven weren’t even worth mentioning to them.

Nie Tian gave a soft chuckle and said, “I’m one hundred percent sure. Also, I’m gonna give these scrolls that I’ve obtained from the Fiends to Li Langfeng as a gift, completely free of charge. Do you have a problem with that?”

Hou Qingsen burst into a flaming rage as he blurted, “Do you know how many spirit stones my sect is willing to give for those scrolls?! Do you know that you’re giving up millions of spirit stones for Li Langfeng?!”

Many in the crowd were flabbergasted, not daring to believe their own ears.

“Millions of spirit stones?!”

“It seems that the Poison Sect is bent on getting those scrolls!”

“Are those few old scrolls really worth millions of spirit stones?! Is Hou Qingsen out of his mind?!”

Even Dong Tengfei and other senior experts from the Dong Clan were taken back.

The old man from the Spirit Condor seemed to be only one whose expression didn’t change a bit.

That was because he was well-aware that some of the Poison Sect’s incantations had close connections with Fiends. However, due to the physical differences between humans and Fiends, humans normally couldn’t practice those incantations to advanced levels. If they made reckless attempts, they would die from a fatal backlash.

However, those were the incantations Li Langfeng had been practicing.

Perhaps the contents of the scrolls would help him relieve or fix the damage he had been causing himself by practicing those incantations.

This was the same reason why the Poison Sect had been so eager to get those scrolls. Even if Nie Tian demanded ten million spirit stones in exchange for them, they would agree to it.

A plain-looking Worldly realm Qi warrior was observing all this closely from a remote corner of the crowd of onlookers.

He was Li Langfeng.

After he had advanced to the Worldly realm with the Fiend heart Nie Tian had given him, he had heard of this trading fair, and thus come over, on the one hand, to broaden his horizons, and on the other, to see Nie Tian.

Soon after he had come to the venue, he had spotted his former master, Hou Qingsen, and thus quietly hid himself in the crowd.

After years of reckless cultivation, his appearance and aura had gone through great changes. Because of this, Hou Qingsen didn’t notice him.

After Nie Tian had been spotted in the crowd and received everyone’s attention, he decided to stay hidden and observe.

At this moment, when he heard that Nie Tian was willing to give up millions of spirit stones just to save those precious scrolls for him, he felt a warm current filling his heart. He even felt it in his eyes, which hadn’t gone wet in years.

After glancing over the crowd of Worldly realm and Profound realm experts, who found Nie Tian’s decision incomprehensible, and his former master, who was fuming with rage, he quickly dabbed his eyes with his cuff.

No one noticed.

Unlike Xue Long and many others, he had continued to use his own name after fleeing to the Realm of Split Void and becoming a guest elder of the Dark Moon.

He had only dared to do that because he had been aware that, in the eyes of Hou Qingsen and Wu Qinghe, he wasn’t even worth being concerned about.

Neither of them would be afraid of his retaliation.
