Before sunrise, street food vendors on Hutong alley had already wheeled their carts in, setting up shop as they prepared their tables and stools, hailing for customers to dine at their stalls
These ordinary people that resided in Cheng'an city lived content with the tranquil repetition of their daily lives, unaware of the huge turmoil that would befall them!

Whereas the terrifying and powerful enemies, he only remembered them as a round of dark shadows and iht of it caused a cold sweat and sent chills down his spine!

“Youngok? Is there anywhere on your bodyyou feel uncomfortable?” asked Zhao Xiaobao nervously
Li Chengfeng gave hifeng stopped ed immediately, “Where is that priest?!”

Li Chengfeng was filled with rage He swiftly jumped off his bed and rushed out of his roo, “He left just like that? That bstard! He took so much of our family's posses-“
“Young Master! The priest did not leave before giving us a golden invitation!” Zhao Xiaobao quickly exclai
“A golden invitation?”, asked Li Chengfeng curiously
“Yes! A golden invitation! Whoever holds the golden invitation is able to enter the Spiritual Mountain Sect Young Master!”, replied Zhao Xiaobao, co his eyes
Li Chengfeng was very surprised, “Found a conscience, has he? Hey, he has yet to discover our weakness, right? Did he not realise e almost exposed ourselves?”
Zhao Xiaobao's expression slightly changed as he put on a forced smile, “Of course not, how could he have found out?”
Li Chengfeng let out a sigh of relief “How dare this imbecile hit my mother! Just wait until I see hirily
“Young master, such an opportunity escapes you” Zhao Xiaobao replied, his gaze a mix of fear and respect
“Oh right, what level did he deter
Zhao Xiaobao stuttered, “H-he said you were…”
“Well?!” Li Chengfeng responded impatiently “What did he say about me ?!”
“He said the young enius that every cultivating sect would fight to have for themselves!” whispered Zhao Xiaobao
Li Chengfeng was stunned, “What? Really?”

“Oh that's right, how has it been in Zhixi's place? Did Qiu Liansheng have any
