Chapter 86

In the core area, in the garden of a certain mansion, Leng Wuzui was feeding a fierce beast.

This was a ninth-rank fierce beast, as large as an elephant, with a body resembling an ape, but with sharp fangs and teeth, making it very ferocious. However, in front of Leng Wuzui, this fierce beast was exceptionally docile.

It just obediently ate the food on the ground, not attacking Leng Wuzui at all, and even allowed Leng Wuzui to stroke its fur without any reaction.

It wasn't that this fierce beast had gained wisdom and changed its savage nature, but rather that it was deeply suppressed by Leng Wuzui's power. It was Leng Wuzui's pet, a pet conquered by strength.

"Leng junior brother, we have found the person you are looking for." Gao Le and Liu Bing stood behind Leng Wuzui, their attitude towards him very respectful, even somewhat fearful.

"What is that boy's background?" Leng Wuzui asked while playing with the fierce beast, without even turning his head.

"His name is Chu Feng, he is only fifteen years old this year, from the Chu family in Kaoshan Town, and has the cultivation of the seventh level of Spirit Warrior. Today, he has entered the core area and become a core disciple."

"However, this boy is very rebellious. Not long ago, he publicly contradicted Gong Luyun and was taught a lesson by him. If it weren't for Elder Li, who guards the Azure Dragon Garden, intervening, he would have been killed." Gao Le explained.

"Elder Li? He actually intervened!" Upon hearing about Elder Li, Leng Wuzui's eyes flickered.

"Yes, as you said, Elder Li indeed concealed his strength; he is at least a Xuanwu Realm expert." Liu Bing interjected.

"That's to be expected. He can hide from others, but not from my perception. My mental power has long detected that he is not simple. But why did he save Chu Feng? Could they have some connection?" Leng Wuzui fell into deep thought.

"It's unlikely. Chu Feng's background is very ordinary. Moreover, he has a life-or-death match with Gong Luyun in a year. Even if we don't deal with him, Gong Luyun will kill him in a year." Gao Le continued.

"Oh? Indeed, he is a proud and arrogant boy. However, we must resolve this as soon as possible; this matter cannot be delayed." Leng Wuzui warned solemnly.

"Don't worry, this boy has already left the Azure Dragon Sect and returned to the Chu family. He probably wants to personally deliver the Azure Dragon Flag to his clan. After all, the Chu family is just a small force, and the Azure Dragon Flag will be of great help to him."

"And we have already sent the Zhao brothers to assassinate him. Although that boy has some skills, the Zhao brothers are both at the third level of Essence Warrior, and they work well together. Dealing with that boy will be more than enough for them." Liu Bing explained.

"Rubbish!" Upon hearing this, Leng Wuzui, instead of being pleased, became angry. He suddenly stood up and pointed at the two, scolding them: "Don't you understand the saying 'the longer the night, the more dreams'? Or are you too lazy to do even this small task, forcing me to do it myself?"

Seeing Leng Wuzui like this, Gao Le and Liu Bing's faces changed dramatically, and they retreated in fear. Then they responded in unison: "We will go and deal with him right away."

Gao Le and Liu Bing hurriedly left the Azure Dragon Sect. The two rode fast horses, galloping towards the Chu family. In Liu Bing's hand was a triangular yellow talisman.

The talisman was flashing faintly, and as they moved forward, the light became increasingly bright. Seeing this, Liu Bing frowned and suddenly pulled the reins, saying nervously, "Something's wrong."

"What's wrong?" Gao Le also became tense upon seeing this.

"This is the tracking talisman on the Zhao brothers. They should have followed Chu Feng and attacked after leaving the Azure Dragon Sect's territory. But now, the tracking talisman shows that they are nearby." Liu Bing explained.

"What? Could it be that..." Gao Le's brows also furrowed, becoming uneasy.

"Swish, swish" The two leaped off their horses and began searching the area according to the tracking talisman. Soon, they entered a forest, and the light on the talisman became increasingly bright, no longer flashing but continuously glowing.

After advancing two kilometers in the forest, they were shocked to find two figures lying in the grass not far ahead. Both were dressed casually, but their appearances matched the Zhao brothers they knew.

However, both were already dead, and the most bizarre thing was that there were no wounds on their bodies.

Gao Le knelt down, placed his hand on their chests, and after a moment of examination, his brows furrowed, and he said solemnly:

"All their internal organs are shattered; they were killed by pressure."

"How is that possible? Chu Feng is only at the seventh level of Spirit Warrior. How could he have such powerful pressure? The Zhao brothers are both third-level Essence Warrior experts." Liu Bing's face turned pale upon hearing this.

To kill someone with pressure, one must be at least three levels higher in cultivation. Chu Feng could not possibly do this, which means he had help, and that person must have at least the sixth level of Essence Warrior strength.

"It seems Leng Wuzui was right; we underestimated Chu Feng." Gao Le sighed helplessly, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

"What should we do? Chu Feng has a powerful expert by his side, and the weakest is at the sixth level of Essence Warrior, possibly even stronger. If that person is at the ninth level of Essence Warrior, even if we two work together, we might not be able to deal with him."

Liu Bing was at a loss. After all, he and Gao Le were both at the eighth level of Essence Warrior. Facing such an unknown enemy, they naturally lacked confidence.

"If we return like this, we will surely be punished by Leng Wuzui. You know his methods. We are just his puppets, and he will not show any mercy. You don't want to experience the excruciating pain of that poison again, do you?"

"No, of course not!!!" Upon hearing the word "poison," Liu Bing's face turned ashen, and his body began to tremble, his eyes filled with fear.

"So, we must kill Chu Feng. Otherwise, Leng Wuzui will not continue to give us the antidote. Just thinking about that pain, I would rather be killed by someone else." Gao Le said firmly, and Liu Bing, without hesitation, nodded in agreement.

Chu Feng was completely unaware of Leng Wuzui's plan to harm him and did not know that the two people who wanted to assassinate him had already been secretly dealt with.

At this moment, his mood was excellent because after several days of travel, he had returned to Kaoshan Town. Just thinking about telling Chu Yuan the news of becoming a core disciple and seeing Chu Yuan's delighted expression made Chu Feng laugh out loud.

"This aura, it's Uncle!"

Suddenly, Chu Feng's expression changed dramatically because he sensed several auras entangled not far away, clearly indicating a fight. One of them was his uncle, Chu Renyi.
