56 Metal Wall Rebound (1/2)
Sending away Zhao Feng with her eyes, Qiu Mengyu lost herself in her thoughts. From the surface, Zhao Feng seemed like a young fourteen year-old youth, but the cold calm and perception in his eyes didn’t seem human. Even Zhao Feng himself didn’t realize that his bloodline as well as attitude had changed with the eye merging…
_Teng!_
A scholarly clothed youth landed next to Qiu Mengyu, it was Qiu Changyi!
“Mengyu, did that kid leave so fast? Did the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City fail?” Qiu Changyi was slightly surprised.
“I failed…he doesn’t seem like a normal youth.” Qiu Mengyu shook her head.
Suddenly an old voice spoke up, “Don’t worry, Mengyu, I never expected it to work anyway.” A gray-robed elder appeared behind the two of them.
“Elder,” the two immediately greeted the old man.
The summit obviously had an elder overseeing the event, and that elder was this old man. Not long ago, he had fought with the mysterious Guanjun Corps, therefore his face was slightly pale.
“Mengyu, you’ve already succeeded at delaying him for half the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The second resolution has already been set up.” Killing intent shone within the elder’s eyes.
“Are you really going to do this?” Unwillingness appeared on Qiu Mengyu’s face.
“His potential is just too great. Once the Zhao family becomes too strong, the Qiu family will be destroyed,” the old man said.
“But Elder! If Zhao Feng dies, the Zhao family will link it to the Qiu family.” Qiu Chanyi was somewhat hesitant.
“Hehe, dead geniuses have no value at all. Furthermore, he’s only from a branch sect and our plan is perfect. Zhao Feng will not die near the Qiu family’s grounds…” A mysterious smile appeared on the grey robed elder’s face.
_Shua!_
As he said that his figure disappeared into the darkness, his speed was twice as fast as Qiu Changyi’s.
“So unfortunate.” Qiu Mengyu and Qiu Changyi looked at each with sympathy in their eyes.
***********************************
Zhao Feng walked by himself down the hill again. At this time, the summit had ended so there weren’t that many people on the way. Zhao Feng didn’t know why, but he had an uneasy feeling, as if he was being watched. A killing intent made his left eye twitch.
_Hm?_
Zhao Feng silently opened his left eye. Suddenly, a faint azure light appeared in his eye. In the darkness, it was even more beautiful. Zhao Feng went into enhanced-vision mode again. The pitch black night was as clear as day to him. He could see everything in a fifteen kilometer radius. If it had been daytime, the distance would have doubled.
The feeling of these super senses gave him confidence and calmness.
_Shua!_
Under his scan, Zhao Feng suddenly saw a figure on a tree a few hundred feet away. That figure wore a grey robe and blended in well with the tree, normal people wouldn’t sense him at all. However, Zhao Feng’s eye saw clearly who the person was.
It’s him!
Zhao Feng’s heart jumped! He had seen this grey robed elder before, it was this person who fought the mysterious silver figure before.
_Not good! This person’s probably an elder of the Qiu family and he probably wants to kill me!_ , Zhao Feng’s mind raced.
His performance was just too outstanding, therefore even the high levels of the Qiu family had started to notice him.
_Luckily, I hid my real cultivation._
Zhao Feng pretended he saw nothing at all and he used normal speed to return to the Zhao family. He was now getting closer and closer to the Zhao families territory. Zhao Feng felt weird, why wasn’t the opponent attacking?
He opened his super vision once again and surveyed his surroundings. There was a remote area ten kilometers into the Zhao sect’s territory. Zhao Feng knew that this was the last and only place they would attack.
Why would they attack near the Zhao family territory?
Zhao Feng’s mind spun and he immediately knew the answer.
If Zhao Feng died near the summit, this would obviously cause the suspicions of the Zhao family and they would put the blame on the Qiu family as the summit was within the the Qiu family’s territory. The Qiu family’s’ plan was to let Zhao Feng die in the Zhao sect’s own territory. This way, the Zhao sect would have no proof and evidence to blame others.
_What a smart plan!_
Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Inner Strength and sprinted towards the front gate of the Zhao family.
“I just need to reach the grounds near the Zhao family. There’ll be many guards there and the Qiu family won’t have the guts to kill me then…”
Zhao Feng came to a decision. Thinking to this point, his speed increased quickly.
“This brat hid his real cultivation! His speed is even faster than Changyi’s…” The grey robed elders’ speed also increased as he gave chase.
Six kilometers…five km…four km…
Zhao Feng was getting closer and closer to the front gate.
_Sou Sou Sou—-_
Suddenly, two figures came out from the front gate of the Zhao sect. From what they were wearing, they seemed to be from the Zhao sect. For Zhao Feng, this was good news as the person behind would have to be wary of these two. His left eye scanned over the two’s faces. The two were both middle aged and their cultivation had both reached the sixth rank.
One of the faces was extremely familiar.
“It’s him! Zhao Tianjian…”
Zhao Feng was surprised. One of the two cultivators of the sixth rank was Zhao Yijian’s father, Zhao Tianjian! Zhao Tianjian and the other person casually came towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng instantly felt uneasy. If it was anyone else, then he wouldn’t be suspicious, but with one of them being Zhao Tianjian, it immediately put him on alert.
“Stop him, then kill him as fast as possible!” Zhao Tianjian said to the other sixth rank warrior.
As it was night and there was still quite a distance between the two, Zhao Tianjian didn’t know that Zhao Feng had already seen his face.
_Sou!_
