Chapter 78: Packing up and Running away?
‘Someone is causing trouble?’
Zhou Feng reached the shop of the merchant under his wing. He took a glance and noticed that some people were standing guard in front of the merchant’s shop.
Moreover, they would drive away passersby from time to time, preventing them from approaching the shop.
He frowned and glanced at the sign on the shop’s external wall.
It was still there—his name was written on it!
‘Have I been too low-key?’
Zhou Feng walked to the door of the shop silently.
Someone shouted at him as soon as he appeared, telling him to leave quickly. “Hey! You—”
Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng chopped off the head of that person with a blade before he could finish.
It was neat and clean! There was not the slightest hint of sloppiness!
Zhou Feng did not even have the intention to talk to these people. There was nothing much to say to these people. After all, they were just some lackeys.
“Ah!”
“You dare to kill people in the market!?”
“Do you know that we are from the Flying Eagle Society? You… You…”
Such a bloody scene instantly caused a wave of screams.
Although the remaining lackeys were shocked, they did not forget to threaten Zhou Feng.
Their confidence grew as they spoke. This was because killing was basically not allowed in the market. Once someone dared to be presumptuous here, the patrolling disciples would quickly arrive.
In addition, they were from the Flying Eagle Society.
Although the Flying Eagle Society did not have absolute authority in the inner sect, it was still a large force. Any inner sect disciple who wanted to touch the Flying Eagle Society would have to think twice.
‘Flying Eagle Society?’
Zhou Feng’s attention shifted back from the skill panel upon hearing this familiar name.
The person he had just killed did not trigger his Soul Harvesting. He did not know what the probability of triggering the Soul Harvesting was.
“Kill!”
He did not explain too much and just directly started killing.
Under the suppression of their realms, the people blocking the entrance didn’t have the strength to fight back.
Qi Condensation realm? Had it been a few months ago, Zhou Feng might have had to waste some time.
But now, it was effortless.
Zhou Feng only managed to collect one soul after killing six people.
‘Is this due to the strength difference?’
Zhou Feng speculated that Soul Harvesting’s success rate should be related to the opponent’s realm.
The success rate should be relatively low for a small fry like this. At the very least, the opponent should be at the level of Liu Yan in order to increase the probability of triggering Soul Harvesting.
Zhou Feng was still very calm. Everything in front of him did not seem to have much effect on him.
Moreover, the heat from before had also subsided quite a bit, meaning the Love Flower Poison’s effect had ended.
The Love Flower Poison was a strange poison that could stimulate one’s desire, but it could only last for a certain period. After the effect of the poison wore off, the affected party would recover.
Zhou Feng was able to remain calm, but the others had long been scared silly.
When had such a thing ever happened here?
A single person had managed to torture and kill Tri-Gu disciples in broad daylight!
“Crazy! This is simply crazy! Run!”
“Don’t stay here! Be careful not to be implicated!”
“…”
Looking at the scattered corpses, the onlookers immediately fled.
Qian Shang had also heard the commotion outside and could not help but poke his head out to take a look.
“Oh my God!”
The bright red scene in front of him almost scared Qian Shang to the point of peeing.
Six corpses were lying on the ground, and no one knew where their heads had flown to.
This was a habit of Zhou Feng, cutting off the enemy’s head.
At first, it was to prevent the enemy from turning into a zombie. There would be no need to go to the trouble of cutting off the enemy’s head later.
At some point, this turned into a habit, and it perfectly matched with Zhou Feng’s splitting ax now.
“This… This is Young Master Zhou Feng!?”
Qian Shang had been prepared to take his daughter and run away, but fortunately, he saw Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng walked past the corpses and stood in front of Qian Shang. “Tell me, who has been causing trouble for you during the period I was away?” he asked.
Qian Shang’s legs turned into jelly again thanks to his bloodthirsty aura.
Zhou Feng was simply too terrifying. Just the aura he exuded was enough to make one’s heart tremble.
“I… I… I…” Qian Shang started to stutter in his nervousness.
Zhou Feng looked at the nervous Qian Shang and tried his best to look gentle. “Is it the Flying Eagle Society? Do you know the main members of the Flying Eagle Society?”
Qian Shang calmed down and tried to persuade Zhou Feng to lay low upon noticing his tone. It was as if he wanted to cause trouble to the Flying Eagle Society.
“That’s right! It’s the Flying Eagle Society! Young Master Zhou Feng, why don’t you stay out of the limelight for a while? The Flying Eagle Society is not easy to deal with!
“Moreover, you are in the market…”
In Qian Shang’s eyes, Zhou Feng had committed a major crime. He had actually dared to kill people in the market, ones affiliated with the Flying Eagle Society even!
Wasn’t this akin to implicating others!?
Zhou Feng might be fine after offending the Flying Eagle Society. After all, he was also an inner Tri-Gu disciple. However, an outsider like Qian Shang would definitely suffer miserably.
In Qian Shang’s mind, he had already tacitly agreed that Zhou Feng could not defeat the Flying Eagle Society, which was why he thought this way.
From a normal person’s perspective, that was indeed the case.
Zhou Feng was on his own, while the Flying Eagle Society was an organization, which an Elder seemingly backed.
Zhou Feng might have a chance if he could break through to the Soul Altar realm, but how could that be possible?
Qian Shang was well aware of Zhou Feng’s non-existent background. To be able to break through to the 9th Level of Qi Condensation within a few months was already a miracle.
As for Zhou Feng breaking through to the Soul Altar realm during the period of his disappearance? Don’t joke around!
“Sigh…”
The moment he thought of having to bring his daughter into exile again, Qian Shang’s face turned into a bitter gourd.
Zhou Feng looked at the bitter-looking Qian Shang and was rendered speechless.
Not many people seemed to know that he had broken through to the Soul Altar realm. Qian Shang’s actions would be correct if Zhou Feng’s cultivation was only at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation.
Still, the problem was that Zhou Feng had already broken through to the Soul Altar realm.
“The Flying Eagle Society… They have no Soul Altar cultivators, but a true disciple is backing them. I heard it’s an old true disciple!
“Nevertheless, they have a total of five 9th Level of Qi Condensation inner disciples, and they are all geniuses!
“One more thing, the Flying Eagle Society doesn’t have an Elder as their backer! The rumors outside are just rumors.”
Just as Zhou Feng was about to speak about his cultivation level, a female voice slowly divulged some information about the Flying Eagle Society.
“Good girl! You…”
Qian Shang was a little puzzled when he heard his daughter’s voice.
“Okay!” Zhou Feng raised his eyebrows. Since he had obtained all the information he wanted, he didn’t plan to stay any longer.
As long as no Elder was backing the Flying Eagle Society, he would be fine. Zhou Feng was most afraid of confronting a cultivator at the level of an Elder right now.
Zhou Feng only needed some time to develop with the current speed of collecting souls.
He would be able to soar to the sky in one go!
Qian Shang looked at Zhou Feng’s back as he left. For a moment, he was a little confused. What was going on? He did not understand why his daughter would divulge these things to Zhou Feng.
Shouldn’t he be packing his things and running away now?
