Chapter 1294: Eighteen Hells!
Seeing Lian Yaotang furious and about to reveal his two trump cards, an elder of the family hurriedly advised, "Family Head, you can recall Pig King, but forget Dongfang Chi. You know better than anyone that Dongfang Chi is currently at a critical stage of joining that organization and cannot be distracted…"
"Yes, Family Head. If Dongfang Chi joins that organization, it would be tremendously fortunate for our Lian Family! It might compensate for the losses of this incident and elevate the Lian Family's status in the Capital City, advancing us into second line prestige!"
Another elder hastily added.
"Sigh! Fine!"
Lian Yaotang's eyes contained deep anguish, "Then let's recall Pig King first. He alone is worth ten of Chang Chunweng and will not disappoint me anymore!!"
...
The night grew late.
In Jiangdong, Provincial City, at the Baili Family's Mountain Manor.
In the small, quiet guest room.
Jiang Feng ultimately did not go to bed with Baili Xiyue, nor did he massage her feet.
After washing up, he sat in a chair, intending to rest with closed eyes for the night.
This scene certainly infuriated Baili Xiyue on the bed!
Does this guy need to be such a pretender?
He had already slept with her, and now he's pretending to be a gentleman!
However, seeing Jiang Feng's demeanor seemed genuinely unaware of what he did that afternoon, which left Baili Xiyue quite frustrated. She couldn't bring it up herself, so she could only suffer in silence.
Fortunately, after the day's mess, she was indeed exhausted, lacking the energy to fuss with Jiang Feng, she soon fell asleep.
Even in her slumber, she was uneasy, murmuring several times in her sleep. Eventually, Jiang Feng helplessly came to her, letting her hold his hand unconsciously, and Baili Xiyue finally found her sense of security and slept peacefully.
The next morning.
Jiang Feng released Baili Xiyue's small hand, tucked her in, and went out of the room early.
There's one good thing about this Baili Family's Mountain Manor; the morning air is exceptionally fresh.
Presumably, that's why Baili Xi chooses this place for wellness during summer.
Today, Jiang Feng planned to visit Yanchi Villa, as last night, when he subdued those bodyguards, he had them transport Lian Lianwei's corpse there too.
A corpse at the Absolute Peak Sixth Level, he didn't want to waste it, intending to absorb it, utilizing all resources.
Just as he walked out of the corridor, he suddenly saw by the side of a clear artificial lake, an elder calmly training.
The elder's moves resembled Tai Chi, his motions were flowing clouds and flowing water, effortless and harmonious.
Jiang Feng paused, observing the elder with white hair and beard, youthful in appearance, his white outfit rivaling any contemporary Grandmaster.
He instantly realized, this is the Baili Family's tributor, Chen Longxiang!
Chen Longxiang's aura was extremely restrained; ordinary people couldn't detect anything unusual compared to normal elders, but Jiang Feng could clearly see that this elder's power had long surpassed the Peak Realm, a true old immortal not easily appearing in the world.
"Up so early?"
Chen Longxiang's peripheral vision caught Jiang Feng, calmly finishing his exercise, simplifying everything, and exhaling a mouthful of impure energy.
"Come and sit."
He smiled, beckoning Jiang Feng over.
Jiang Feng shrugged, having to walk over.
"Good lad! Young people are indeed formidable. When did Jiangdong gain such a True Dragon as you?"
As Jiang Feng slowly approached, Chen Longxiang carefully scrutinized him.
A true master can gauge another's strength with just a glance.
Yet, what surprised Chen Longxiang was that while Jiang Feng could see through him, he couldn't see through Jiang Feng!
This indicated Jiang Feng's level was far above his!
Just like an ant, even looking up couldn't see the full scope of a giant dragon!
For Chen Longxiang, he hadn't felt such a sensation in many years; not even those Sect Leaders from super first-line sects, heads of mysterious forces, or even the old monsters in Capital City gave him such mystery, denying him even the qualification to spy.
"Chen Longxiang?"
Jiang Feng came closer, inquiring.
"Indeed! Sit down."
Chen Longxiang smiled, gesturing to the stone stool next to him, sitting down himself.
"You are the Baili Family's ultimate reliance? No wonder Baili Xi dared to compete with Lian Yaotang."
Jiang Feng sat opposite Chen Longxiang, speaking calmly.
"In front of you, old me dares not claim to be a reliance? Don't tease me."
Chen Longxiang sighed with a bitter smile, then spoke earnestly: "Speaking of which, Xiyue is someone I have watched from a young age. She's indeed fortunate! I had worried about her being reckless and direct, if she met the wrong person it would be troublesome, but now she's fond of you, truly a blessing upon her from the heavens."
"Don't say that."
Now it was Jiang Feng's turn to be embarrassed: "Currently, she and I are just friends."
"Haha, you rascal, taking advantage yet pretending you're innocent!"
Chen Longxiang laughed heartily: "You as Lian Family's grandson-in-law, can't escape now; you must not disappoint Xiyue! Or else, there will be more than just me who'll come looking for trouble!"
Jiang Feng was speechless: "You invited me over just to talk about this?"
"Of course not!"
Chen Longxiang laughed heartily: "Having heard of the incident you pulled off yesterday, I was curious and wanted to meet you, that's one reason."
"Second reason, I returned overnight, worried about Lian Family's next wave of offensive, you alone might find it hard to withstand, facing catastrophic disaster, I wanted to join forces with you."
"But now it seems, I was overthinking it; with you around, I can completely rest easy and retire."
Looking at this overly modest old fellow, Jiang Feng said helplessly: "Don't downplay your significance. Had I not come yesterday, with you there, that group of Lian Family trash would have likewise come without return."
"Haha, young people are too kind! My level of power compared to yours, what can it count for? There's always someone better, old me has self-awareness."
Chen Longxiang chuckled: "Nevertheless, I do need to give you a heads-up; although your prowess is exceptional, watch out for Lian Family, while their two trump cards pose no threat to you, their head honcho is currently sharpening his head, eager to drill into the 'Eighteen Hells'. Be cautious about 'Eighteen Hells'."
"Eighteen Hells?"
This name, Jiang Feng had never heard before, isn't Lian family just a non-prominent family in the Capital City? When did it connect with such a force?
Seeing Jiang Feng's puzzled expression, Chen Longxiang appeared surprised: "You, as someone from the Ancient Martial World and a strong figure, haven't heard of 'Eighteen Hells'?"
"I actually haven't heard of it, what kind of force is it, something extraordinary?" Jiang Feng was incredulous.
"Pfft!!"
At this, Chen Longxiang almost spat out, looking at Jiang Feng, it was as if he's staring at a wonder!
