Chapter 94

Lu Feng, holding a beautiful maid, leaped into the air, turned his body to look back, and saw a green figure appear before him. Chu Li lightly struck his chest with a palm.

Lu Feng and the beautiful maid seemed to be hit by a huge tree, flying straight out.

“Bang!” The two crashed into the opposite antique shop, smashing the sign and breaking the door.

Shouts of alarm came from inside the shop.

Lu Feng flipped up, helped the maid to her feet, and shot out before the people inside could run out, disappearing without a trace.

“Master…?” The beautiful maid called out in his arms, seeing the blood at the corner of his mouth: “You’re injured!”

Lu Feng tightly closed his mouth, gritted his teeth, and sped off. Turning his head to look back, he didn’t see Chu Li’s figure, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “I won’t die!”

The beautiful maid took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, and put it in his mouth. Then she tightly hugged him, saying no more.

Lu Feng ran out of Chongming City in one breath, arriving at a forest. He sat down under a pine tree, taking a deep breath.

The beautiful maid drew out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, saying, “Rest for a moment, and focus on your cultivation!”

“It’s nothing serious,” Lu Feng shook his head and said softly, “Ah Mei, we’re in trouble this time!”

“Master, don’t talk for now, hurry and cultivate,” Ah Mei said.

Lu Feng sighed, “I’m not seriously injured, … but we’re in deep trouble this time!”

“Master, don’t say such discouraging words, we managed to escape, didn’t we!” Ah Mei shook her head, comforting him, “A small Yunzhou City, what top-notch experts could there be!”

She didn’t believe her own words. Seeing what happened just now, the sudden appearance and disappearance, not like lightness skills, more like an illusion. Encountering such a skilled expert, it was hard to escape, and he could appear at any time to attack, impossible to guard against.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look around, afraid that Chu Li would suddenly appear.

Lu Feng spoke while cultivating.

The pure and powerful internal energy flowed, entangling with a very strange, extremely cold and soft internal energy, which he couldn’t refine.

Ah Mei no longer spoke, afraid of disturbing Lu Feng’s focused cultivation.

Lu Feng adjusted his breathing for a quarter of an hour, his brows furrowed. He couldn’t eliminate this cold energy, which was as pure as that of a top expert!

“What’s the matter?” Ah Mei asked hurriedly when she saw him open his eyes.

Lu Feng said, “We’re going to Baiyun City!”

“Good, good,” Ah Mei nodded quickly.

Yunzhou City was now a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den; they couldn’t stay, the sooner they left, the better.

Lu Feng got up, picked up Ah Mei, and used his lightness skills to move through the forest, not daring to take the main road.

Ah Mei lay in his arms, sighing, “Master, it’s because of me that you’re in trouble.”

Lu Feng moved through the treetops, floating as if riding the wind, and glanced down at her, “Don’t talk nonsense, you didn’t get me into trouble!”

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been hit by his palm.”

“I couldn’t avoid it,” Lu Feng grunted, “His lightness skills are too powerful.”

“Do you think he’s following us?”

“Hmm.”

“Really following?”

“He definitely won’t let me go!” Lu Feng grunted, “So what if we have to fight!”

“Who is the enemy?” Ah Mei asked softly, “Such a powerful expert should be famous, and he’s so young!”

Lu Feng frowned, deep in thought.

He was also puzzled. Where did this guy come from, to have such lightness skills at such a young age? He should be a renowned expert in the martial arts world, but there was no young expert known for lightness skills.

This guy’s lightness skills were too bizarre, definitely not an unknown, yet he had no fame. His mood was heavy; this abnormal situation was not a good sign, indicating that the opponent had a complex and unpredictable background.

Ah Mei asked softly, “Could he be from Yunzhou City?”

“Jingyun Gang?”

“Yeah, didn’t you hit the leader of Jingyun Gang with a palm?” Ah Mei’s spirits lifted, feeling more and more that she was right, and said hurriedly, “He hit you back, one for one!”

“It makes some sense…” Lu Feng slowly nodded.

Then he shook his head, “A small Jingyun Gang, where would they get such a powerful expert!”

Ah Mei said softly, “Master, don’t you think it’s strange that the leader of the top gang in Yunzhou City is a woman with ordinary martial arts skills, and a young woman at that?”

“It is a bit strange,” Lu Feng frowned and nodded.

Ah Mei said, “If she doesn’t have a top expert behind her, how could she control Jingyun Gang? The current members are the founding elders. Could the former leader’s daughter-in-law control them? I don’t believe it!”

This world was a man’s world, where women were naturally inferior. Without overwhelming strength, men would never submit.

“Is that guy behind Chen Siyu?” Lu Feng looked down at Ah Mei.

Ah Mei’s bright eyes blinked, and she nodded forcefully, “Definitely right!”

Lu Feng frowned.

His palm was aimed at Chen Siyu’s life, and she was probably beyond saving. But this guy’s palm power was pure; if it was timely, Chen Siyu wouldn’t die. So, did he not take his life because of that?

But this grudge wouldn’t be easily resolved. He originally intended to kill, and the other party might still want to kill him.

Ah Mei’s eyes flickered, and she said softly, “Why didn’t he kill you? … Master, I think he wants to recruit you!”

“Hmm—?” Lu Feng looked at her in surprise.

Ah Mei smiled, “Why did he show mercy? He must have some ulterior motive. Thinking about it, it’s all about you. Jingyun Gang has limited experts; with your help, their strength would greatly increase!”

“Delusional!” Lu Feng snorted.

“Really delusional?” A clear voice sounded in his ear, and Lu Feng’s hair stood on end. He turned and struck with a palm.

His palm hit Chu Li’s shadow, missing. He knew it was bad and turned to strike again. A green figure flashed, and he hit another shadow. Chu Li appeared on a treetop a丈 away.

The pine tree swayed in the wind. He stood on the treetop with his hands behind his back, a long sword hanging from his waist, his green robe fluttering. He slowly raised his right palm, and in his palm was a pearl flower emitting a soft light.

Ah Mei hurriedly touched her black, shiny hair.

Lu Feng recognized the pearl flower. Seeing Ah Mei’s action, he looked down at her hair, his face grave. It was Ah Mei’s pearl flower!

His heart sank. This was just a pearl flower, but it indicated that the other party could kill Ah Mei with a mere gesture, effortlessly. He could withstand one palm, but Ah Mei couldn’t, and one palm would be fatal!

Chu Li smiled at Lu Feng, “What do you think?”

“Who are you?” Lu Feng said coldly.

Ah Mei’s bright eyes flickered as she sized up Chu Li, surprised by his youth. An expert of such age who could surpass Master was a rare genius!

Chu Li said, “I am Chen Li. Let’s talk about you, Brother Lu!”

“Want to fight, just fight!” Lu Feng grunted, “I’ll see it through to the end!”

Chu Li said, “I have a proposal, Brother Lu, would you listen?”

“Speak!” Lu Feng frowned.

Chu Li said, “Jingyun Gang sincerely invites Brother Lu to be a guest expert for three years. What do you think?”

“Dream on!” Lu Feng sneered, as Ah Mei had predicted.

Chu Li smiled, “If you had abandoned Ah Mei in that critical moment, I wouldn’t have used a palm but a sword, and I wouldn’t be talking to you now, Lu Feng!”

Lu Feng’s face turned grim.

Ah Mei smiled, “Thank you, Young Master Chen. My master is no ordinary person. Can Jingyun Gang afford him?”

“What about ten thousand taels of silver per year?” Chu Li smiled, “Ah Mei, you have good fortune!”

If Lu Feng had abandoned Ah Mei and fled, he would have killed Lu Feng directly and wouldn’t have thought of recruiting him. After all, he wasn’t by Chen Siyu’s side, and if Lu Feng had ill intentions, he wouldn’t have felt at ease.
