Chapter 1041 - 1039 We Compensate…
What!
So that’s how it is!
Just saying, when has my brother-in-law ever been at a disadvantage!
...
At this moment, the three Old Monsters finally understood Lin Feng’s intention. It turned out that Lin Feng wasn’t showing submission to the other party but instead was demanding compensation. That was more in line with Lin Feng’s character. It looked like there was going to be an interesting show! Having realized this, the Old Monsters’ faces brightened up, all wearing smiles as if they had already foreseen the others running around bare-bottomed.
"Kid, you dare to demand Spirit Stone Segments from me?" Tian Wu, who had been arrogantly laughing just moments before, suddenly turned very dark upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, his expression as black as the bottom of a pot, and his tone equally cold, as if he were talking to a dead man. Even the icy aura from his body burst forth, causing the temperature around them to drop again. He was truly angry now, not having expected Lin Feng’s previous words to mean this.
"Nonsense, can’t you understand me? If you don’t pay up, I wouldn’t mind making you run naked either," Lin Feng said casually, as if he didn’t take this elder seriously at all. In fact, he didn’t place this old man in his sights at all.
"Old Tian, this brat can use the Righteous Brilliance Palm!"
"Just now, this brat stripped Wu Feng of his clothes!"
"Old Tian, be careful!"
...
The Loose Cultivators immediately remembered the miserable state Wu Feng had been in when they heard Lin Feng say this, and they quickly warned Tian Wu, panic-stricken. Tian Wu was their pillar of support, and they did not want anything to happen to him. If Tian Wu were to have an accident today, they would surely meet with dire consequences.
The three Old Monsters were also taken aback at this moment, not understanding what kind of technique these Loose Cultivators were referring to as the Righteous Brilliance Palm. Recalling Wu Feng’s streaking incident, they hazily guessed that Lin Feng must have used the Righteous Brilliance Palm to make Wu Feng run naked. A smile spread across their faces at the thought. Such a move was something no one in the world could withstand, and they had not expected Lin Feng to master such an oddly effective technique.
Run naked? Righteous Brilliance Palm?
Hearing the Loose Cultivators’ words, Tian Wu, who had been about to make a move on Lin Feng, suddenly stopped, his face filled with panic as he gazed at Lin Feng. He couldn’t help but retreat dozens of feet uncontrollably, putting a vast distance between them. That wasn’t all; his blue Elemental Gang Qi exploded in layers, readying his strongest defense.
Even so, he was extremely anxious. In the Hidden World, who wouldn’t fear the Righteous Brilliance Palm? It was a move of utter shamelessness; those struck by it would lose all their clothes, a technique that brought humiliation and was scorned by all superior experts! If he were to be hit by Lin Feng’s Righteous Brilliance Palm, even if he killed Lin Feng in return, he would have no face left to live!
For a moment, he stood in place, already unsure how to proceed. If he made a move, he feared being hit by Lin Feng’s Righteous Brilliance Palm, yet if he didn’t make a move, his reputation would be gone. This left him in a difficult position...
But just then, a sudden gust of wind arose...
An elderly figure appeared by Lin Feng’s side, none other than Fang Gu, who had rushed over to find Lin Feng!
Seeing the ring on Lin Feng’s hand, Fang Gu’s eyes moistened, and for a time, he was too moved to speak. His long-awaited junior Disciple had finally arrived. Although he hadn’t seen his master, the sight of his junior made his heart incredibly joyful.
Lin Feng, seeing the elder appear before him, immediately guessed who the newcomer was. Presumably, he was his senior Disciple. Thinking this, he gave Fang Gu a faint smile.
Seeing Lin Feng smile, Fang Gu could no longer contain himself and suddenly embraced Lin Feng!
"Junior Brother, I’ve finally seen you. I’ve waited for decades, this is wonderful, wonderful!" Fang Gu was beside himself with joy, patting Lin Feng’s back while speaking excitedly. He was so overjoyed he didn’t know what to say. The master never took off that ring, and now it was on his junior Brother’s finger. There was no doubt the person before him was the master’s direct Disciple, his junior Brother. Even though he was only a Disciple in name, the master’s teaching was like a rebirth, something he could never forget for a lifetime. Seeing his Disciple was like seeing his master!
Upon hearing this, all those present were stunned. None of them had expected such an outcome—that Lin Feng would be Fang Gu’s junior Brother. What the... What was going on, what kind of joke was this...
Tian Wu, upon hearing Fang Gu’s words, nearly fainted. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be Fang Gu’s junior Brother, and here he was trying to cause trouble for Lin Feng—it was like seeking his own death. He wanted to run, but he didn’t dare to flee. There was no need for Fang Gu to act personally; just a word from him and countless experts in the Hidden World would pursue Tian Wu! Thinking this, cold sweat began pouring from his forehead as if he’d been drenched in rain, and he was filled with regret, cursing himself for meddling in affairs that he now wished he had never gotten involved with...
When the Loose Cultivators heard Fang Gu’s words, they suddenly felt darkness envelop them, their bodies swaying, nearly passing out. They were now utterly hopeless, as the young man turned out to be Fang Gu’s junior Disciple. Once the full story was known, the consequences were unimaginable. Thinking about this, they felt on the verge of madness, lamenting that they had caused such a colossal disaster. Today, it seemed their deaths were inevitable.
"Senior Brother, don’t be so excited, talk slowly," Lin Feng, who hadn’t expected Fang Gu to be so agitated, gave his senior Brother a pat, lightly uttering this, indicating to Fang Gu to take his time speaking. Even though it was his senior Brother, being embraced by an old man like this was still something Lin Feng was not accustomed to.
"Oh, right, right!" Fang Gu, upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, realized that he had indeed been too excited, released Lin Feng, and said to Lin Feng with a smile. It was not his fault, he had yearned day and night for his junior martial brother’s arrival, and he simply couldn’t contain himself!
"Junior brother, why have you only just arrived?"
"Actually, I didn’t know you were here; Master never told me."
"Oh? What’s this all about?"
"It’s like this..."
"I see, junior brother, how’s Master doing? I haven’t seen him in over twenty years."
"He’s the same as ever, hasn’t changed a bit, he even came to my wedding banquet a while ago."
"Really? That’s great, I miss him so much, do you have a way to contact him?"
...
After that, Fang Gu and Lin Feng chatted as if no one else was around. Fang Gu was truly delighted today, after meeting such an impressive junior brother, even he, who was over two hundred years old, couldn’t control his excitement. Lin Feng, seeing Fang Gu’s warm and enthusiastic attitude, was also very pleased, sparing no detail in their conversation. He too was very happy to encounter such a senior martial brother.
The three Old Monsters kept silent at the side, but they understood clearly now that this old man who had suddenly appeared was Lin Feng’s senior martial brother. If that was the case, then nothing could be better. Today’s dispute could finally be resolved. However, they didn’t interrupt Fang Gu and Lin Feng’s conversation. It was not easy for martial brothers to meet after a long time, so chatting was normal, and besides, they were in no rush.
The more the Loose Cultivators and Tian Wu watched Lin Feng and Fang Gu chatting, the more terrified they became inside. Fang Gu was the owner of Artifact Pavilion and the founder of the market, as well as the market’s number one expert. They had attempted to attack Fang Gu’s junior martial brother and company, which was practically suicidal! Previously there had been an Infinitesimal Realm super expert who acted arrogantly within the market, but was slapped to death by Fang Gu; just thinking about it made their scalps tingle, and they wished they could vanish from the spot immediately!
For a moment, they all began to retreat step by step, planning to leave unnoticed...
But their plan, though well-intentioned, fell apart before they had even taken a few steps, as Lin Feng noticed them.
"Thinking of leaving? That won’t do, you haven’t made any compensation yet. Speak of leaving after you’ve compensated." Lin Feng suddenly interrupted his conversation with his senior brother and pointed at the departing Tian Wu and several Loose Cultivators, casually remarking, suggesting they thought they could just walk away after causing losses to the Old Monsters, as if matters were that simple.
Damn it!
How were we discovered!
...
Tian Wu and the several Loose Cultivators hadn’t expected Lin Feng to notice them. Hearing Lin Feng’s words, they didn’t dare to move another step and felt utterly depressed inside. Now they couldn’t leave, and not only that, they feared the compensation they would have to pay might bankrupt them...
"Right, how could I forget about this matter, what happened?" Fang Gu, hearing Lin Feng’s words, suddenly recalled the prior events and, giving Tian Wu and the others a cold glance, asked Lin Feng, wanting to know what exactly had happened before.
"Elder, here’s what happened..." At this point, the Old Monster stepped forward and detailed the events to Fang Gu. With Fang Gu speaking up for them, these people would indeed regret their actions.
Upon hearing the Old Monster’s words, Fang Gu’s face immediately darkened. He had not expected that such incidents would occur in the market. If it weren’t for his junior martial brother showing up, his junior brother’s friends might have been injured, and it didn’t stop there; someone even dared to make a move against his junior brother. This was a direct challenge to his authority! In an instant, he truly became furious, his chilling gaze sweeping towards Tian Wu and the Loose Cultivators as he coldly asked, "Not compensating?"
"We’ll compensate... we’ll compensate..."
"We were wrong, we’ll compensate..."
...
Feeling the bone-piercing chill, Tian Wu and the Loose Cultivators dared not resist and responded in trepidation, nearly spitting blood from their frustration. With Fang Gu backing Lin Feng, they wouldn’t dare to refuse compensation even if they had a hundred thousand times the courage. It wasn’t a question of whether they could compensate anymore, it was a matter of whether they could survive the ordeal. Even if they couldn’t afford the compensation, they still had to pay.
Tian Wu and the Loose Cultivators began to take out their possessions. Tian Wu took out a relatively large amount, actually producing more than two hundred Spirit Stone Segments, while the Loose Cultivators together barely managed a hundred or so Spirit Stone Segments. For a moment, they were all dumbfounded, not knowing what to do next. It wasn’t that they weren’t willing to compensate; they truly had nothing left...
