Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: Chapter 410: Mysterious Powerhouse_1 (2/2)

If the Yan Family had a top-level expert, how could they possibly be nested in the countryside?

They would have established a family in the city like the Fang Family and joined the ranks of the top great families.

If the Yan Family had even one Spirit Qi Realm expert, they wouldn’t be holed up in Jade Stream Town developing as they are now. It’s even less likely that they would mortgage their years of accumulated estate to compensate for a large merchant’s breach of contract.

Therefore, Qin Niu could basically be certain that the Yan Family’s top expert was also at the level of the Innate Realm.

Which should be comparable to the strength of the He Family.

Even possibly a little weaker than the He Family.

Since the super expert didn’t come from the Yan Family, whose could it be?

Qin Niu racked his brain for a long time but couldn’t figure out which family might have such a formidable expert.

Humans considered extremely powerful by Fire Phoenix must be at least at the level of Immortal Master.

Let alone Jade Stream Town, even Black Tiger City probably couldn’t find an Immortal Master.

“Could you have mistaken?”

Qin Niu asked.

“No mistake. I’ve lived in these mountains for seven or eight hundred years, and I’m quite familiar with the nearby villages. That expert should have appeared in the last few decades. Not long ago, he even entered the mountains.”

Fire Phoenix was very certain when it spoke.

“Not long ago, he entered the mountains? Roughly when was that?”

Qin Niu thought to himself, could Fire Phoenix be referring to Elder Mei?

“You’re not talking about the old human who barged into the mountain where you reside, whom you pecked and broke an arm, and who fled for his life, are you?”

“No, that old man’s strength was very weak, I didn’t even use my full strength and I made him flee with his tail between his legs. If it weren’t for the life-saving technique he used being quite impressive, he wouldn’t have had the chance to escape.”

When Fire Phoenix mentioned Elder Mei, its tone was one of utter contempt.

Thus, it could be determined that the human expert it referred to must be terrifyingly powerful.

At the very least, at the level of Immortal Master.

“About two or three months ago, one late night, well into the night, a rather powerful human riding a leopard entered the mountains. He seemed to be looking for someone.

Not long after that person entered the mountain, another human followed.

Soon, they fought.

The human expert who entered the mountain later used just one move to kill both the leopard and the human expert.

At that moment, a trace of terrifying aura inadvertently released by that human expert made me feel extreme fear. The dozen or so Demon Birds under my command all trembled. I’m certain, if I had fought that human expert then, I would have been flattened in an instant.”

Even two or three months later, when Fire Phoenix spoke of that human expert, it was still filled with dread.

This was its instinctive fear of the powerful.

“The human expert riding a leopard, and it was late at night when he entered the mountain?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Niu’s eyes gleamed slightly.

He had killed several experts from the Nine Insect Gang, and one night as he was practicing at home, he sensed a powerful individual riding a mount passing by his house at an incredible speed.

He was very anxious at the time, knowing that powerful individual was likely coming for him.

Resulting in him waiting apprehensively till the next morning, he didn’t see or hear the expert leaving the village.

He was puzzled for many days about that event.

Even afraid to easily enter the mountains.

Afterwards, that powerful individual appeared to vanish into thin air.

Now, hearing Fire Phoenix’s account, he realized that the one riding the leopard was killed shortly after entering the mountain by another expert.

“Did you get a clear look at that human expert’s face?”

“Since it was night, I couldn’t see clearly at all. After that person released a trace of terrifying aura, I was too scared to spy on him any longer,” Fire Phoenix said.

“Alright, I know about this. I’ll investigate it secretly when there’s a chance. You don’t have to be too nervous, if that expert really wanted to harm you, he would have done it long ago. He wouldn’t have let you live safely until now.

Besides, now that you have an undying body, facing ordinary dangers, you should have no problems at all protecting yourself.”

Qin Niu comforted Fire Phoenix, but in his mind, he was pondering who that mysterious expert could be?
