Chapter 1041: Sooner Or Later

Upon seeing this, Duan Ye and the rest were slightly surprised and their mouths were open in shock. Teacher Feng? He knew that Feng Jiu was a teacher? Luo Fei actually had news from the academy? And he knew that Feng Jiu would come here?

Feng Jiu smiled at the approaching youth with a passionate smile on his face: “You are well informed.”

“Hehe, that’s because I’m home all day and I get bored, so I like to inquire about the news. It just so happens that I know someone from the academy who found out about it and told me. That’s why I know Teacher Feng will be coming. I have been waiting here for three days and three nights. Finally, you have arrived.”

Duan Ye and the rest were speechless when they heard his casual words. Even Feng Jiu’s lips twitched as she looked at the enthusiastic teenager, not knowing what to say.

“Teacher Feng, I have prepared a sedan chair for you. Please, get on the sedan chair.” He leaned over and shouted to the people behind him: “What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and lift the sedan chair up.”

The four guards lifted up the sedan chair. It was a one person sedan chair, not very eye catching.

Feng Jiu glanced at the sedan chair and said: “No need, I will just walk in myself. I can also look at the scenery in the city.”

“How can I allow that? You’re a teacher, I can’t treat you with indifference. Please do not stand on ceremony. Now that you are here, it is like as if you are in my home, please!”

“Luo Fei, you’re too impolite. Since you have come to meet us, then you should have brought more sedan chairs. Why have you only brought one for Feng Jiu? The difference in our treatment is too obvious.” Ning Lang said with dissatisfaction. He glared at him, unhappy with his treatment towards them.

“Haha! You guys can’t compare with a teacher! Students have to behave like students, don’t you understand respect for teachers? I understand that I have to respect my teachers. To be honest, it’s not far. Once we have entered the city, it’s only a short walk from there. My home is nearby.” He grinned and beckoned for Feng Jiu to get on the sedan chair.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu’s lips curved upwards and she stepped forward. The guard lifted up the curtain and lowered the sedan chair and asked her to step inside. She took a look inside the sedan chair before she bent her body and entered the sedan chair to sit down.

Duan Ye and Song Ming looked at each other without saying a word. Seeing the sedan chair being lifted up and brought towards the city gate, they followed behind. However, after only taking a few steps, they were stopped by Luo Fei.

“Hey, how come you guys are hanging around with him?”

His arms were crossed over his chest as he spoke to the three of them: “If my news is accurate, this Feng guy is only a student from a Six Star Academy who had gone to participate in the inter-academy competition. How did you get abducted by him? If it was just one student then so be it, but the three of you? Are you alright?”

After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and a smile spread across their faces, one that others could not understand.

Song Ming looked at a dissatisfied looking Luo Fei and smiled: “Did you not just call him Teacher Feng? Why has he become that Feng guy once he’s turned his back? Since your news is so accurate, then don’t you know why we are following him?”

Luo Fei was puzzled by the strange smiles from the three of them and asked: “Is it not because you’ve been abducted by him? Is there something else that I don’t know about?”

“Hehe, we won’t tell you about that, since you will find out sooner or later.” Ning Lang smiled, his eyes squinting mischievously as he did so, and sauntered to the front with Duan Ye and Song Ming.

Chapter 1042: Missing

The group of men entered the city and headed towards the Luo Residence. As they walked through the most prosperous street of the city, Luo Fei who was walking up ahead with Duan Ye and the rest looked back and signaled to the cultivators. He then spoke to Duan Ye and the rest and his pace quickened.

When the cultivators saw his signal, they waited for a while, then pressed a mechanism on the sedan chair. There was a sound of a click, and even Duan Ye and the rest up ahead had turned around to look. However, nothing happened.

Luo Fei, who was also walking up ahead, looked back, secretly surprised. He slowed down and came up to the sedan chair saying: “Teacher?”

When Duan Ye and the rest saw this, they looked at each other and also slowed their pace, and came to the side of the sedan chair. When they saw Luo Feng calling out, they couldn’t help but look at him strangely and asked: “What did you do?”

Luo Fei looked at them and called out again: “Teacher? Teacher Feng?” When there was no answer, he opened the curtain and looked inside. He was startled at what he saw.

“Where is he?”

When Duan Ye and the rest saw this, they were also shocked. They stared at the empty sedan chair dumbfoundedly.

The cultivators who were carrying the sedan chair were also stunned and looked inside once they had put the sedan chair down. They said: “I don’t know! We didn’t see him get off the sedan chair.”

“You set up a secret mechanism in the sedan chair?” Song Ming asked Luo Fei: “What the hell were you thinking?”

“Even my secret mechanism can’t make a person disappear! Speaking of which, where has he disappeared to?” He was confused as he didn’t know when the person in the sedan chair had disappeared.

“Find him! You’ve lost a person for goodness sake! What is your problem?” Song Ming shoved him and said angrily: “Hurry up and find him.”

“How do you expect me to find him? Go back to look? Could he have gotten off the sedan chair when we entered the city? We can turn back and ask around.” Saying that, Luo Fei started running back with the others hot on his heels. On their way, they asked the people they passed if they had seen a person with a beast.

At the same time, Feng Jiu was holding Cloud Devouring in her arms, standing outside the Luo Residence. When she saw that the main door was open, the corners of her lips twitched as she couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

An old man walked up and asked Feng Jiu with a smile: “Is Young Master here to look for our Young Master?”

“I am here to see the Master of your house.” Feng Jiu replied.

“Young Master, please come this way with me.” The old man said with a smile and invited Feng Jiu into the residence. At the same time, he said: “Our Young Master said that he is expecting some friends today, that’s why I thought that you are one of our Young Master’s friends earlier.”

“Well, I have already met your Young Master. He came to meet us outside of the city. However, he is probably still behind. He will probably be back later. ” Feng Jiu chuckled lightly as she walked at a leisurely pace into the residence, stroking Cloud Devouring’s soft fur at the same time.

“Our Master and Madam are waiting inside as they heard that the Young Master has friends visiting. I apologise that our Young Master isn’t here to greet you. However, our Master and Madam will be delighted to see you.” The caretaker brought Feng Jiu to the front hall and said: “Mister please wait here momentarily. I will go inside to ask my Master and Madam to come out.”

“Okay.” She nodded and sat down.

The old man hurried away to report his arrival. Not long after, Master Luo and Madam Luo came out together. When they saw the figure in red sitting in the front hall, their eyes lit up and they couldn’t help but let out an exclamation of praise.

What a handsome and outstanding young man.

Chapter 1043: Superior in strategy

While the two of them looked Feng Jiu up and down, Feng Jiu also looked back at them, sizing them up without making it obvious. When the two of them walked over, she stood up and nodded at them with a smile.

“Master Luo, Madam Luo.”

“Hehehe, please sit down Young Master.” The more Master Luo looked at him, the more satisfied he felt. He thought that his son’s friend was remarkably outstanding, much more than his own son was.

He was dressed in red clothes that dazzled like fire, and its splendour was infinite.

The young man exuded the wantonness of the red clothes, respectfulness and radiance, on top of the evil charm oozed from his bones. Coupled with his handsome face, it was truly stunning at first sight. At first glance, it was obvious that he had come from a respectable family and had been brought up well. That’s where his good grace and disposition had come from.

“May I know what Young Master’s name is?” Master Luo asked with a smile as he looked at the young boy sitting below.

“My surname is Feng, my name is Jiu. Master Luo can just call me Feng Jiu.”

“You must be the friend that Fei’er mentioned.” Madam Luo smiled gently: “Fei’er told us this morning that he has friends visiting. We have been preparing all morning and are only afraid that we are unable to cater to our guests well enough. Master Feng, since you are here, you must stay and enjoy yourself.”

Madam Luo seemed to have thought of something else and continued speaking: “That’s right, is Master Feng also a student from the Two Star Academy? I never imagined that our Fei’er would be able to befriend such an outstanding young man in the academy.”

Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled and replied: “You are both misunderstood. I am not a student from the Two Star Academy.”

She then took out her teacher identity card and handed it over to them: “I am a teacher from the Two Star Academy. The Headmaster has tasked Luo Fei and three other students to be under my tutelage. Therefore, I am here to take him away.”

“Teacher?”

The husband and wife were very surprised, such a young teacher? They inspected the identity card, and he was indeed a teacher from the Two Star Academy.

Perhaps the Luo family didn’t possess a portrait of the Ghost Doctor, that was probably why Master Luo didn’t know that the young boy dressed in red in front of him was the world renowned Ghost Doctor. Besides, after taking a look at his identity card, they wouldn’t think much more of it either.

“Yes. The friends Luo Fei mentioned are probably us. Other than myself, the three others are students from the same academy who have accompanied me on my journey.” Her lips curved into a smile as she chuckled: “However, they are all still probably out and will be back later on.”

“I see.” The couple looked at each other and laughed. After understanding the situation, they sat in the hall and chatted to Feng Jiu as they waited for the others to return. They had waited for over two hours and the sky outside was getting dark before the butler came running in to report their arrival.

“Master, Madam, Young Master and his friends have returned.”

As soon as he had finished speaking, a figure came striding into the front hall breathlessly. When he saw the young boy in red sitting there chatting to his parents smiling away, he couldn’t contain his anger and screamed as soon as he entered the hall.

“Teacher Feng! What are you doing here?”

To think they had been outside searching for ages, not knowing where he had gone. Who would have thought that he had come to his house. According to the butler, he had been chatting to his parents for over two hours. He was infuriated.

Chapter 1044: Peace Of Mind

“Watch your tone. Is that the attitude a student should use when speaking to his teacher? You are getting more and more impudent!” Master Luo hollered in a deep voice, his somber expression was majestic as he stared at an angry Luo Fei.

“Father, we have been searching for him outside for over two hours, and he had actually come back to the house by himself.” Luo Fei said angrily as he stared fiercely at Feng Jiu, his fake good-naturedness earlier had completely disappeared.

Duan Ye, Ning Lang and Song Ming stepped forwards and bowed: “Greetings Master Luo, Madam Luo.”

At this point, Master Luo and Madam Luo’s gaze shifted to the three of them. When they saw Duan Ye and the rest, they smiled and nodded, then said: “Sit down, come sit down and have a rest!”

The three of them responded and sat down at one side. As soon as they had sat down, their eyes turned to look at Feng Jiu who was sitting in front of them stroking Cloud Devouring’s fur playfully.

When they were unable to find him, they wondered if he had already come to the Luo Residence. However, even though they had guessed that was what happened, they didn’t inform Luo Fei, and found a place to sit down and drink a cup of tea instead. They watched on as Luo Fei searched the whole city over the next two hours, then returned to the Luo Residence with him.

Based on Feng Jiu’s character, he was unlikely to be at a disadvantage. Luo Fei wanted to make a fool out of him but in the end he would be the one who ended up looking like a fool.

“How may we address the three of you? Are you all students from the Two Star Academy?” Madam Luo asked with a smile as her gentle gaze fell on the three of them.

“Like Luo Fei, we don’t like to stay at the academy, so we have been home helping out.” As soon as Ning Lang had said that, his foot was stepped on and he drew a breath in slightly. He saw Song Ming frowning at him and he turned to smile at Master and Madam Luo.

“Hahaha, it’s actually quite good staying home. My father and mother dote on me a lot. My father is called Ning Yuan. He is the richest man in Indigo Country. My name is Ning Lang.”

“Ah, so it is Indigo Country Master’s son.”

Master Luo smiled, his eyes filled with admiration: “I have heard that Young Master Ning has been helping Master Ning earn money from a young age and often comes up with more ideas to make money, and that he’s a natural at earning money. Today I have the opportunity to meet Young Master Ning, exuding wealth and prosperity. I am envious of Master Ning having such a capable son.”

Ning Lang was a little embarrassed at the high praise, and looked a little uncomfortable. He scratched his head and said with a grin: “Master Luo, you’re too kind.”

“I am Song Ming, this is Duan Ye. We are all students from the Two Star Academy. We have followed our teacher to come out and practise our skills.” Song Ming introduced them with a smile. He looked at an angry Luo Fei and smiled: “The few of us have been on this journey for a while now, we are just short of Luo Fei.”

Master Luo’s eyes narrowed as he smiled: “With the few of you as his companions and Teacher Feng as your teacher, I am more than happy to let my son leave with you. However, this boy is a difficult person. I am afraid Teacher Feng, he will cause you trouble.” He looked at Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu smiled lightly and said: “Master Luo you can rest assured that my specialty is to teach these difficult students.”

“Hahaha, okay. Then I shall leave my son in your care. Thank you teacher for your trouble.”

He chuckled and looked at his son: “Fei’er, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and pay your respects to your teacher and ask for his tutelage.”

Chapter 1045: I Raise A Toast To You

Luo Fei glanced at Feng Jiu and snorted. He turned his head away and said: “I don’t intend to go with them for training. Besides, just because he said he is a teacher doesn’t mean he is a teacher.”

As soon as his voice fell, he turned and glanced at Feng Jiu, then continued speaking to his father: “Father, Mother, I bet you don’t even know this! Feng Jiu isn’t a teacher employed by the academy at all.”

He raised his chin slightly and looked provkingly at Feng Jiu, feeling proud of himself for exposing Feng Jiu. He continued speaking: “He was originally a student from the Six Star Academy and participated in the inter-academy competition. He advanced into Golden Core rank it the sacred land, so he was disqualified from the competition. The Headmaster then made an exception and asked him to become a teacher. However, I am sure the students in the Two Star Academy will be quite dissatisfied with his decision.”

All the students in the Two Star Academy were from prestigious families, especially the four of them. Even the teachers in the academy give them some leeway and daren’t offend them. Although they haven’t been attending classes at the academy, the teachers haven’t said anything to them.

This guy who was from the Six Star Academy who had suddenly been promoted to a teacher actually said that he was their teacher? What a joke! How on earth would they agree?

Okay! Even if Duan Ye, Ning Lang and Song Ming agreed, he would definitely not agree to that. He was much smarter than the three of them and wouldn’t waver so easily.

Upon hearing this, Master Luo’s face darkened as he stared at his son. He slammed his palm onto the table and a loud bang sounded. At the same time, he shouted: “Master Feng has already told us about this matter. So what if he was a student from the Six Star Academy? Do you have his Golden Core strength? Are you smarter and more capable than him? Don’t talk nonsense when you know nothing at all. Where’s your manners?”

Luo Fei’s mouth twitched, his face stunned. He hadn’t expected his father to discipline him. Although he was shocked, it also made him angrier, and his anger surged up. He was about to say something when he saw his mother shake her head slightly. Hence, he held his tongue.

“Hehehe, Master Feng, my son is spoilt. I apologise for his rudeness, please don’t take any offence.” As he spoke, he stood up and smiled: “Master Feng, everyone else, please come into the backyard for dinner. As we have been expecting you, my wife has ordered the servants to prepare a banquet to entertain you. We will have to trouble you in the future to look after our son.”

They stood up smiling and followed the couple further into the residence. Luo Fei did not want to comply, but as his father and mother were present, he didn’t dare to cause any trouble. Hence, he followed them to the backyard.

When they arrived at the backyard, he went to the wine cellar and brought back a jar of wine to the banquet. Everyone was already seated and chatting and drinks had already been served. Therefore, he put the jar of wine down at the side.

During the banquet, everyone was chatting and laughing, drinks were continually being topped up. It was late into the night, Luo Fei carried the bottle of wine to pour wine into Feng Jiu’s cup personally. He said: “Teacher Feng, I apologise for offending you earlier. Please would you drink three cups of wine with me?”

Feng Jiu looked at him as he stood in front of her holding the bottle of wine. She smiled and said: “It’s only a small glass, that’s not enough. Tell you what, shall we use bowls instead?”

“Huh?” Luo Fei hesitated for a moment and then laughed: “Okay! You’re straightforward! I like it!” After that, he said to the maidl: “Bring the wine bowls

Chapter 1046: Intoxicated

The wine bowl had a thick base and a wide opening, it was used for drinking wine. However, wine bowls were rarely used. When he shouted for the wine bowls, the maid quickly retrieved two wine bowls and placed the bowls down in front of them.

Luo Fei put the wine bottle down and walked over his seat and lifted the jar of wine up and poured some wine for the two of them: “Help yourself.” He put down the jar of wine and raised his wine bowl signalling for them to drink.

Feng Jiu lifted up her wine bowl and signalled a toast, and then emptied the wine bowl. As soon as the wine entered her body, her eyes flashed slightly and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

“Again!” He shouted joyfully and poured another bowl, continuing to raise a toast.

Everyone watched as they drank bowl after bowl of wine, and they even finished each bowl in one gulp. They couldn’t help but look at one another upon seeing this sight. Madam Luo spoke, her voice full of worry: “It’s not good for your body to drink like this.”

“It’s fine. It’s not like I drink like this all the time anyway.”

Luo Fei waved his hand at her. After two bowls of wine, he was already starting to feel a little tipsy. However, he still poured the third bowl of wine: “Teacher Feng, a toast to you. In the future, if there is anything on my part that I have not done well, you must forgive me!”

Feng Jiu’s lips curved: “No problem.” And then drank the third bowl of wine.

Duan Ye and the rest looked at each other. They felt that it wasn’t possible for Luo Fei to willingly submit to him. There must be something inside these three bowls of wine. However, even so, the three of them didn’t intend to intervene.

As the saying goes, those who do evil will get their comeuppance. Okay! Although it didn’t seem nice to use the metaphor to describe the two of them, however, meeting Feng Jiu, Luo Fei the sly fox would finally get what’s coming to him.

Even if he refused to submit, Feng Jiu had his ways to make him submit. Like he said earlier, he was autocratic and uneasy.

By the end of the banquet, when everyone was tipsy from drinking, Madam Luo ordered that the guests and everyone were to be brought back to their rooms to rest.

Master Luo and Madam Luo were very happy with the banquet. Duan Ye, Ning Lang and Song Ming who had accompanied Feng Jiu were waiting for the show to unfold, hence they pretended to be drunk.

Initially, Luo Fei had intended to get Feng Jiu drunk. However, he didn’t expect to get intoxicated himself. When Feng Jiu saw that he had wanted to get her dunk, she played along and drank bowl after bowl of wine. In the end, Luo Fei’s vision was blurry and his face was flushed. When he walked, he felt like he was floating with every step he took and had to be helped back to his room by the maid.

“Young Master.” The maid looked at him and revealed a smile.

“How long have I been back?” He rubbed his forehead, his head was throbbing.

“Young Master had instructed me to prepare the sobering soup and wait. From drinking the sobering soup till Young Master waking up, it has been less than an hour.”

“Mmmm.” He responded and held on to the maid as he tried to stand up. He walked out of his room and called out. Two cultivators appeared by his side.

“Young Master.” The two cultivators saluted respectfully.

“Go, go and put that guy in red into a sack and take him to the brothel, then tell them to take good care of him and make sure they entertain him well. ” He revealed an unpleasant smile as he thought to himself, how excellent his reaction would be tomorrow when he woke up from his drunken stupor and found himself in a brothel?

However, at this moment in time, unbeknown to him, sitting on his roof was a figure in red….

Chapter 1047: Carried Away In A Sack

After the two cultivators responded, Luo Fei waved his hand and said: “You can leave now! Don’t disturb me, I want to sleep. I shall sleep till the morning and watch the show.”

He then turned around and went back into his bedroom. As he was about to close the door, he seemed to have thought of something, hence he turned around and asked: “If I am still asleep when the three of them go looking for the guy in red, just tell them that he was feeling lonely last night and went to the brothel, understand?”

The maid responded with a smile: “Young Master, rest assured, servant knows what to do.”

“Mmm.” Luo Fei walked back into his bedroom contentedly and hummed a tune as he climbed into bed. But just before he lay down on his bed, darkness took over his vision and he felt like he was losing consciousness and fell down.

The figure in red caught him and in a flash took him away back to her own room…..

In the guest room, Feng Jiu who was clad in red shook every so slightly. She poured herself a cup of water to drink and went to close the window. She blew out the candle and wobbled over to the bed.

The two cultivators who were outside spying looked at each other when they saw this. They had confirmed that it was the right room and waited until it was quiet inside the room before they sneaked inside. They felt their way around the dark room after they entered. One of them held up the blanket while the other threw the sack onto the bed and shoved the person inside. They were afraid of alerting the others and knocked the person out with a blow from the palm before they carried the body out of the room.

The two cultivators hadn’t noticed that when they walked into the room, there was a shadow watching them, smiling as they carried the body out of the room.

Feng Jiu yawned and rubbed her neck before she lay down on the bed. She was finally able to have a good night’s rest. As to the fate that awaited Luo Fei tonight? Haha, she couldn’t care less.

Duan Ye, Ning Lang and Song Ming knew that something was going to happen tonight, therefore, they pretended they were drunk and waited to see what would happen.

They were staying in the same courtyard as Feng Jiu, but were staying in separate bedrooms. Therefore, the three of them had blown out the candle and gathered in one room waiting. They saw the two cultivators sneak into Feng Jiu’s room and after a while, they came out carrying a sack. The three of them couldn’t help but look at each other.

“They’ve put him in a sack and carried him away?” Ning Lang asked in shock.

Song Ming touched his chin: “I reckon Feng Jiu wouldn’t fall into his trap so easily! Even we could tell that something was going on, there’s no way he wouldn’t know.”

“Well, did you all notice? Cloud Devouring hasn’t been seen since we got back, he’s probably gone off somewhere sulking.”

“Yes, this feels like…” Ning Lang scratched his head as he thought about it, then patted his thigh all of a sudden: “That’s it! Just like that time when he dug a hole and made me jump in!”

Duan Ye glanced at him: “That was you digging the hole and jumping in. When did he dig the hole? Moreover, with your brains, you wouldn’t be able to make him dig a hole.”

Ning Lang was unhappy when he heard this: “What do you mean by my brains? I’ve got money-making brains, even if you want it you can’t get it!”

Seeing the two of them arguing, Song Ming rubbed his head helplessly: “Enough, what are you arguing about? This has nothing to do with you anyway. I want to ask you if you think the person that was carried away in the sack is Feng Jiu?”

Upon hearing this, they quietened down. They had no idea whether the person that was carried away in the sack was Feng Jiu or not!

Chapter 1048: The Flawless Swap

After being silent for a while, Ning Lang said: “I don’t think it’s him. Feng Jiu is a black sheep, there’s only ever him making a fool out of others and never the other way round. Don’t you think so?”

“If that’s not him then who was it? Even though the person was in the sack, it is obvious that it is a person and not something else!” Song Ming said. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed to a look of shock as he was about to speak. However, Duan Ye who was next to him had already spoken.

“That person isn’t Feng Jiu, it’s Luo Fei!”

After the words were spoken, the three of them couldn’t help but took a deep breath in as their eyes opened wide in shock: “Oh god, could it really be Luo Fei?”

At that moment, their eyes stared at the dark room, shock displayed across their faces. If that person was indeed Luo Fei, then how did Feng Jiu know that Luo Fei had planned to abduct him?

Was that possible? Even though Feng Jiu was a Golden Core cultivator, there were many powerful people within the Luo Residence! They didn’t doubt that he would be able to come and go as he pleased, after all his strength weird and marvellous. However, it was not easy to carry a person and avoid the sight of the hidden guards within the residence.

And….

When the thought of Luo Fei being possibly flawlessly swapped by Feng Jiu went through their heads, the expressions of the three of them became odd.

“Where do you think they have brought the person to? Where did they go?” Ning Lang asked curiously, a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes: “Do you think they have taken him to sell?”

Duan Ye looked at the two of them: “They wouldn’t have gone far. Why don’t we follow them to take a look?”

As soon as he said that, Ning Lang and Song Ming’s eyes lit up and they immediately agreed: “Okay, let’s go and take a look.” The three of them left the room quietly and followed the men….

At this time, the two cultivators who were carrying the body out of the Luo Residence still hadn’t realised that they had taken the wrong person. Or rather, they didn’t know that the person they had captured was actually their Young Master who had been swapped without their knowledge.

“Where are they going? It’s in the middle of the night, we should probably take the side streets.”

The three of them were following at a distance behind to prevent being discovered. They watched as the two men carried the sack and came to a stop outside a place and entered. The three men stood against the wall as they read the words written outside the place in shock, their mouths opened wide in dumbfoundedness.

“Surely not? They’ve brought him to a brothel.”

The three of them looked at each other strangely: “It must be Luo Fei.”

“Shall we go in to take a look?” Duan Ye asked the other two.

“Let’s go.” As soon as his voice fell, the three men went inside together quietly. They saw the two cultivators had just turned around to leave. Hence they came to the window of the room and peeked through the slit to look inside.

A woman in her thirties gestured with her hand: “Open up the sack. Let’s see what this free piece of goods looks like.”

“Yes.” Two strong men answered and proceeded to open up the sack, revealing the unconscious youth inside.

When the three people outside the window saw who was in the bag, their hearts couldn’t help but gloat.

Even though they had guessed that the person in the sack was Luo Fei, but seeing him wanting to make a fool out of Feng Jiu and ending up being made a fool out of by the black sheep instead, they felt quite sympathetic.

At this point, they were quite curious, what would his mental state be like when he woke up?

Chapter 1049: Feng Jiu Is Really Nice To Me

The three of them watched for a while and then left quietly.

Luo Fei had schemed against Feng Jiu and they daren’t help him out as they were afraid that they would bring trouble upon themselves.

On their way back, Ning Lang looked up at the moonlit sky with emotion and said: “I suddenly feel that Feng Jiu is actually really nice to me.” After all, he was only threatened to be sold to the brothel, he was never actually sent there.

Duan Ye agreed with him: “Compared to you all, he’s treated me the best because I followed him willingly. I wasn’t as troublesome as you all.” He found out that if you were obedient, then you wouldn’t need to be dealt with. If you were too rebellious then the consequences would be unexpected.

Moreover, things that others daren’t do, Feng Jiu would readily do it and not care about your embarrassment. Others would care about their identity and status but Feng Jiu wouldn’t. Along their journey together, they saw this very clearly.

The three of them chatted as they walked, all the way until they arrived at the courtyard. They glanced at the firmly shut bedroom door and the little pet outside and their hearts skipped a beat.

They were certain that Feng Jiu was asleep inside! Only he would be able to sleep so comfortably after pitting against others.

The three of them smiled secretly inside as they headed back to their bedrooms, deciding to follow up in the morning when they woke up.

However, to their surprise, after they had washed up and gotten dressed, they walked out of their bedrooms to see Feng Jiu sitting in the courtyard eating breakfast. He said to them: “After breakfast, we shall bid goodbye to Master Luo.”

“We are leaving? So soon?”

The three of them looked at him in surprise. In actual fact, they really wanted to ask: Luo Fei hasn’t come back! And they’re already leaving?

“Why? Have you gotten too comfortable and can’t bear to leave?” She glanced at them with a smile.

“Hehe, of course not.” The three of them laughed and sat down to eat. Afterwards, they followed him to bid farewell to Master Luo and Madam Luo.

“You’re leaving already? You only arrived yesterday and you’re leaving today?” Master Luo was a little stunned when he heard that they were leaving.

Upon seeing this, Madam Luo said to them: “It’s not often that we have friends visiting, why don’t you stay for a few more days? Fei’er hasn’t even brought you around the city for a tour. We will feel bad if you just leave like that as we haven’t been good hosts.”

“Don’t think that. It’s just that we can’t stay here for a long time.” Feng Jiu said with a smile: “We have already been away for quite a while. We have come to bid farewell to you today, and also to inform you that I will be taking Luo Fei with us.”

“Fei’er will leave with you? Is he willing to go with you?” Madam Luo asked in surprise.

Duan Ye and the other two smiled but said nothing. Feng Jiu laughed lightly, she looked at the three of them and said: “The three of them weren’t willing at the beginning either.”

The meaning of that sentence was that even if you weren’t willing to start off with, after time you will soon learn to be obedient.

Master and Madam Luo stared at each other in shock, then smiled and said: “Alright then, let him go with you! With you as his companion, we can rest assured.”

“It’s so late, how come this boy is still not awake?” Master Luo asked when he realised how late it was and his son was nowhere to be seen. He called out: “Caretaker, go and call Young Master.”

“There’s no need Master Luo. Luo Fei went out last night. I know where he is. On our way out of the city, we will pick him up.” Feng Jiu laughed lightly as she stopped them, because she knew Luo Fei was not at home.

Chapter 1050: Let Go Of This Lord

When they heard this, Master and Madam Luo felt strange but didn’t ask any questions. They knew that Feng Jiu and the other students wouldn’t harm their son and that was enough for them. Hence, Madam Luo nodded her head and smiled: “Then let me prepare some dried food and fruits so that you can eat them on your journey.”

Feng Jiu didn’t refuse her offer and chatted with Master Luo while she waited. After an hour, Master and Madam Luo walked them to the door and they left the Luo Residence.

After they had left, Master Luo called the private maid within Luo Fei’s courtyard and questioned her. When they found out what had happened, they were stunned, and Master Luo was furious.

“That rascal! Always thinking of these wicked ideas. This time he’s landed in the hands of Master Feng, he won’t be able to go wild. It takes exactly just this kind of person to sharpen his senses.”

“It can’t be, no it can’t be…..” Madam Luo was worried, how could he send him to such a place? Fei’er was out of line.

“Relax! There won’t be a problem. Master Feng is a teacher, he will have a sense of propriety. He’s told me that Fei’er will return home after a year. Come on, let’s go back!” He said and led her inside.

At the same time, Luo Fei had already awoken in the middle of the night and when he saw the tulle over his head and only had pants on his body, he screamed. However, when he opened his mouth to scream, he realised that he had no voice at all, the strength within his body had also been blocked.

He wasn’t tied up, but he was locked in a room guarded on all sides. When he tried to escape, he was caught and brought back into the room. In the end, when he finally found out what sort of a place he was in, the expression on his face changed.

Brothel? How could he be in the brothel? He had instructed the guards to bring Feng Jiu here! How did he get here? And why couldn’t he speak? His cultivation strength had also been blocked.

Was the plan for him to lose his virginity?

He thought about the place he was in, he was locked up here with only his pants on. At any moment he could be taken to see a guest. When he pictured that, goosebumps popped up all over his body.

It was too cold and cruel.

Why was he the one in this situation? Damn Feng Jiu! He must have had a trick up his sleeve. But at the moment, how could he escape his situation? Tell them that he was the Young Master from the Luo family? No one would believe him!

“Master Huang is here to inspect the goods, go, bring the young lad in the room to let Master Huang take a look.”

When he heard the voices outside, Luo Fei’s face paled and he couldn’t help but retreat backwards. He wanted to escape, but all the windows and the door were sealed shut. If he had his cultivation strength he would have been okay. Now that his cultivation strength has been sealed, he was just like an ordinary person and there was no way he could escape.

It’s over, he was really going to lose his virginity!

Damn Feng Jiu! If I lose my virginity I won’t let you off!

The door opened and two strong men walked in: “Come on, you’re going to see a guest!”

When Luo Fei saw this, he threw himself onto the bed and covered himself with the quilt, there was no way he was leaving the room.

Upon seeing this, the two strong men looked at each other. They then stepped forwards and picked up the boy in the quilt and carried him out.

Ahhhhh! Let go! Let go of this Lord! You dare bring this Lord to see a guest and I will skin you alive!

Luo Fei struggled and yelled, his mouth was wide open but there was no sound.

Chapter 1051: I’ll Have Him

Finally, Luo Fei was brought to the presence of a fat middle-aged man. He stuck his head out from the quilt and when he saw the middle-aged man, his eyes opened wide in shock.

“Huh? This lad looks very similar to the Luo family boy.” The middle-aged man said with doubt and walked up to take a closer look.

The old bustard chuckled when he heard that: “How can that be? This lad is dumb and he can’t speak. Otherwise he wouldn’t have been sold to us here.”

“Oh? He’s dumb? Hahaha, okay then. Since he looks so much like the Luo family boy, I will buy him tonight. Get your men to send him to my residence later. Remember the usual rules.” He said to the old bustard beside him.

“Rest assured Master Huang! We know what to do.” The old bustard smiled and walked out with him after instructing his men to take him back to the room.

Although Luo Fei struggled, he was wrapped in the quilt and carried away. He recognised that old bastard, he had taught him a lesson last month. He hadn’t expected to see that old guy here.

He started to panic when he thought about the place he was in and their conversation earlier. He had no strength and no help, and he couldn’t even speak. He didn’t know what he could do.

He thought he could make use of this opportunity to teach Feng Jiu a lesson so that he would back off when he realised that he wasn’t one to be trifled with. However, in the confusion, he was the one who found himself in this mess.

When he had said that he wanted to teach Feng Jiu a lesson, Duan Ye and the rest had given him a strange look, he gritted his teeth. Those guys knew that Feng Jiu wasn’t easy to deal with but hadn’t warned him, they had no brotherhood code.

He didn’t see it that it was him who hadn’t given Feng Jiu the respect he deserved. He had the preconceived idea that someone from a Six Star Academy wouldn’t be able to control him, nor would he have much abilities, that’s how he had landed himself into such a situation.

In his panic, he was brought back to the room and forcibly bathed then dressed in a set of new clothes. The clothes were even more embarrassing than the scarlet ones. His eyes looked murderous and his face turned red.

He was going to tear down this small rundown brothel!

On the other side, Duan Ye and the rest realised that they hadn’t seen Cloud Devouring Beast since early that morning, hence they asked: “Feng Jiu, where is your little beast? Why isn’t he by your side?”

“I told him to keep an eye on Luo Fei.” She walked at a leisurely pace, a cunning smile curved up at the corner of her lips: “I wonder how that rascal is now? I’m really curious! But with his calibre, would anyone be interested in him?”

When they heard this, the three of them looked at each other, the corners of their lips upturned, this wicked interesting Feng Jiu…..

The expression on his face was as if he wanted someone to take an interest in Luo Fei. They had a feeling that even if no one had taken an interest in him, they would fuel the fire from behind the scenes and make sure that someone did take an interest in him.

“Ahem!”

Song Ming coughed lightly and said: “Lou Fei grew up here, most of the influential people in the area would recognise him, his identity might already have been revealed.”

“Will influential people go to the brothel?” Feng Jiu asked, her voice sounded more casual as she continued speaking: “Anyway, I’ve blocked his cultivation strength and also made him unable to speak.”

The three of them were speechless when they heard this. Phew! After hearing what Feng Jiu had said, the three of them felt really lucky that they weren’t treated like this previously.

Chapter 1052: This Tulle

They arrived at the brothel, but didn’t enter through the main entrance and snuck inside quietly instead. When they got inside, the found Cloud Devouring Beast sprawled on the roof, so it was obvious which room Luo Fei was in.

When Cloud Devouring Beast saw Feng Jiu, it got up and went over to her wagging its tail like a dog expressing joy.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu took Cloud Devouring Beast into her arms. They lifted up the tiles on the roof and looked inside the room. When they saw Luo Fei dressed in ridiculous flowery clothes and tied up on the bed, they couldn’t help but smile in glee.

Under Feng Jiu’s signal, they knocked the two guards unconscious and opened the door. Duan Ye and Ning Lang stood guard outside while Feng Jiu and Song Ming went inside.

“Luo Fei, why are you here? What a good show you’ve put on!” Feng Jiu said and looked at him like she had searched for him for a long time: “We couldn’t find you when we woke up this morning. We thought you were hiding from us because you didn’t want to come with us. But looking at your situation now, maybe I was overthinking things?”

As she continued speaking, her smile widened. She looked at the boy tied up like a dumpling, his face was red as he stared back at her angrily. She smiled happily and she looked at him up and down with curiosity asking: “Why are you dressed like this? This material is so thin, you might as well be not wearing anything. How can you go out to meet people dressed like this?”

“Hmm. You don’t seem to be able to speak. Or are you too embarrassed to say anything?” She smiled and her eyes narrowed: “You don’t have to be like that. After all, I am your teacher, you can tell me anything, you don’t have to be embarrassed.”

At the side, Song Ming’s mouth twitched and he looked away as he felt a little sorry for Luo Fei’s current predicament. He was tied up in bed and dressed in weird tulle, one just couldn’t look directly at him because his image was utterly destroyed.

“By the way, we are leaving, do you want to follow us?” She asked with a smile as she looked at a speechless Luo Fei. She slapped her head and said: “I just realised, you can’t speak. But it doesn’t matter, if you want to follow us you can just nod your head. If you don’t then shake your head. Your head can still move, can’t it?”

Your head can still move….

When he heard this, Luo Fei was mortified, what did he mean by his head could still move? It would be disastrous if he couldn’t move his head. Besides, he refused to believe that he didn’t know why he was in this predicament. He’d thought about it and other than him, no one else would be able to do this to him. No he was actually consoling him and asked if he wanted to leave with them, that Feng Jiu was too shady!

“So, do you need to think about it? If you need to, I can give you some time…”

His underlying meaning was that if he didn’t agree to follow them, then they would leave without him. As for what would happen to him if he stayed here, that would be out of their control.

Luo Fei gritted his teeth, unable to speak, he was indeed panicking. He started nodding his head frantically, afraid that they would leave without him. He would be in deep trouble if he stayed here.

“Leave with me?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows, but deep down she was not surprised at all. When she saw him nodding his head again, she revealed a satisfied smile and signalled to Song Ming beside her: “Take him along, let’s go!”

As soon as her voice fell, the dazzling red figure turned and walked away.

Upon seeing this, Song Ming walked forwards and lifted up the person on the bed then started to walk outside. This was no place to speak, they would find a place later and sit down to have a good chat.

Chapter 1053: Carried Onto The Airship

They followed Feng Jiu out of the city and watched as she waved his arm and a luxurious airship appeared in front of them. Their eyes widened with astonishment. Ning Lang’s eyes lit up and he ran forwards quickly. He touched the luxurious airship as he marvelled at its splendour.

“Oh my god! This airship is beautiful, even the one my family owns isn’t as luxurious as this. Feng Jiu, where did you buy this airship? It’s so beautiful!” He touched the airship while he exclaimed in excitement. As he couldn’t see the layout of the airship, he turned his head and looked back at Feng Jiu.

“Feng Jiu, can we go in? You’ve been holding back on us, you’ve had this treasure all this time but never took it out before now.”

She smiled lightly: “Let’s go!” She walked forwards carrying the Cloud Devouring Beast.

The rest of them followed her quickly and boarded the airship. Luo Fei who was being carried, unable to speak, only struggled and kicked his legs as he stared.

Was this their method to take him away? He had previously promised to stabilize him first and then think of another way after they left. He hadn’t expected them to carry him out of the city just like that. He had even brought out this airship, he wasn’t going to take him home, was he?

Outside the city gates, there were people about to enter the city. When they saw such a large airship outside the city, there were a lot of discussions and speculations as they tried to figure out, which family the airship belonged to? Who would have such a large and luxurious airship?

When some of the influential families in the city heard about this, they sent men out of the city gates to find out more and report back. However, by the time they got there, Feng Jiu and the rest had already left….

In the Luo Residence, Master and Madam Luo who heard about the large luxurious airship were discussing it in the courtyard when the steward came running in.

“Master, Madam, Madam’s family has sent a letter.” After the steward handed the letter to them, he left the courtyard.

“It must be a letter from Mother-in-law to you. You should read your letter my wife.” Master Luo smiled as he spoke and passed the envelope to her.

“Alright.” Madam Luo smiled as she took the envelope. When she opened the envelope, she saw that other than a letter, there was also a portrait folded up. She gave the portrait to her husband and read the letter.

“It’s a letter from my father, he’s sent us a portrait of the Ghost Doctor. He said that all the heads of influential and powerful families have a copy of the portrait of the Ghost Doctor.”

“Portrait of the Ghost Doctor?” Master Luo was startled. He opened up the folded portrait hurriedly to take a look and was shocked by what he saw: “Isn’t this Young Master Feng Jiu?”

Madam Luo turned her head to take a look: “Oh, it really is Young Master Feng, how is he the Ghost Doctor?”

The husband and wife looked at each other in surprise, the carefree young boy in red was actually the Ghost Doctor? But how did the Ghost Doctor become a teacher at the Two Star Academy? Could it really be as he had told them, he was a student at the Six Star Academy who had gone to the Two Star Academy for the competition, but because he had advanced while he was there, he became a teacher at the Two Star Academy?

“Our Fei’er is really blessed this time!” Master Luo said with a smile.

“Yes, that’s right.” Madam Luo agreed with a smile, extremely happy.

On the other side, on the airship, Luo Fei was finally able to speak and his blocked cultivation strength was also unblocked by Feng Jiu. However, he stared at Feng Jiu in anger.

“How could you do this? You took me away like this, my father and mother will be worried when they can’t find me.”

“Don’t worry, we have already informed your father and mother early this morning. Besides, they also agreed to this.” Feng Jiu said with a dismissive smile.

Chapter 1054: You Have To Tell Me

“That’s impossible! My father and mother would never agree!”

Although, he wasn’t confident when he said those words. His father and mother deeply admired Feng Jiu. They were especially relieved when they found out that Feng Jiu was a teacher from the Two Star Academy. It could be very possible that it was as he said, he was taken away forcibly with the consent of his father and mother.

“Why is it impossible? Just take a look at the snacks and fruit that your mother has prepared for us.” Ning Lang was eating a fruit and he asked: “Would you like one?”

Luo Fei looked at him wide eyed and said: “Do you think I am in the mood to eat anything now?”

The few of them glanced at him and thought about his ordeal last night. They couldn’t help but grinned: “Yes, you probably won’t want to eat anything.”

“I’m going to rest, don’t disturb me.” Feng Jiu said. She got up and was about to walk into the hold of the airship, to her bedroom when she was stopped by Luo Fei.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at an angry Luo Fei in front of her. She asked: “What do you want?”

“I want to get off the airship! I want to go home!”

“Have you forgotten that you promised to leave with me?” As she looked at him, her eyes shined inexplicably.

Luo Fei’s eyes flashed and he replied eloquently: “I only promised to leave that place with you, I never promised to get on the airship with you.”

Her lips curled: “Didn’t you know that it’s easy to get on the airship but it’s much harder to get off the airship? Now that you’re on my airship, do you think that I will let you leave?” After saying that, she continued walking forwards.

Luo Fei was about to say something else when Ning Lang grabbed him by his shoulders and stopped him. He dragged him to one side and waited till Feng Jiu had entered his bedroom, then the few of them sat down around him.

“Don’t bother thinking about it anymore. You’re on his airship now. Unless he allows you to leave you won’t be able to get off.”

“That’s right. And besides, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with his airship. Do you know how many people wish they can get on this airship but don’t get the opportunity to?” Song Ming said and gave him a look that said he should know better.

“If you keep resisting, in the end it is you who will suffer.”

Duan Ye said and glanced at him: “He has a hundred ways to teach you a lesson and make you submit to him, do you believe it? Or would you rather suffer the taste of his punishment before you will believe?”

He listened to everything they said and he thought about it. Since he had met Feng Jiu, he hadn’t seen anyone gain the upperhand on him. He gritted his teeth and couldn’t help but asked: “Then where are we going? You’ve got to at least tell me that.”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled: “Hell Mountains.”

Luo Fei exclaimed: “What, what? Hell Mountains? Oh God! No way! That place is just like hell. When you enter that place, you won’t be able to leave. Is he sending us to die?”

“Our one year’s training will be taking place inside there. Feng Jiu will only train us for one year. Whether you’re willing or unwilling, it will be one year. One year later, even if we want to continue to follow him, I don’t think he will allow it.”

Song Ming said slowly. Deep down he knew that Feng Jiu would not take them with him one year later. After all, he was the Ghost Doctor and there were many people who wanted to follow him. If he hadn’t caused trouble in the Two Star Academy and felt responsible for it, he probably wouldn’t have agreed to take them to Hell Mountains.

He was responsible for their safety there and he had to teach them. There was no incentive for him, just burden.

Chapter 1055: Teachings

After hearing this and looking at the expressions of the three of them, Luo Fei felt strange. Even if they have been persuaded by Feng Jiu, surely they wouldn’t react this way? They mean to say that after a year they would be reluctant to leave him?

Although he was puzzled, he didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he nudged Ning Lang and asked: “Where are the snacks my mother prepared? Give me some to eat!”

Ning Lang smiled and said: “I thought you didn’t want any? I thought you couldn’t eat anything?”

“I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday evening. If you give me a big meal right now I will be able to finish it all. Hurry up, stop dawdling.” He said impatiently.

Seeing this, Ning Lang brought out two boxes of snacks and some snacks for Luo Fei: “Eat up! After all the food came from your house.”

The four of them sat with each other and chatted while they ate. They told each other how they were abducted by Feng Jiu and Luo Fei was secretly pleased: So it wasn’t just him who had been treated like so, the three of them were also taught a lesson by Feng Jiu.

His original grievance eased up as he talked and laughed with the three of them….

In the evening of that same day, they alighted the airship. After Feng Jiu kept her airship, she didn’t take them into the forest. She said to them: “We will rest here tonight and discuss what will happen after we enter the forest. Go and prepare the firewood and hunt some game nearby to roast for our dinner.”

She continued with her instructions: “The four of you will be split into two teams. From now on, you will practice the division of labour and cooperation with your teammate.”

“Who will I team up with? Do I choose my teammate?” Ning Lang asked.

Feng Jiu looked at the four of them and assigned the teams: “Duan Ye and Luo Fei will be on the same team. Song Ming will be in your team. I am your team captain. Duan Ye and Luo Fei will go and hunt game now. You two will pitch the tents and gather firewood and make a fire.”

“Got it.” They responded and set about their tasks.

They had finished their tasks before the sky got dark. After they prepared the game, they put it on the fire rack to roast. They said around the firepit and chatted.

“Once we go inside, you will forget your identities. Don’t mention your identities over the slightest matter. You need to understand that the people who enter there are very strong and ruthless. You must be careful. If you reveal too much, you will only become a target of assassination and looting. Do you understand?”

They nodded their heads at Feng Jiu’s instructions and replied seriously: “Understood.” Their lives were at stake and while they were in a dangerous place such as Hell Mountains, they had to be cautious.

She glanced at them and gave them more instructions: “One more thing to remember, don’t get lost, don’t stray too far away from me. Otherwise, if you are in danger, even I won’t be able to save you.”

“Yes, we understand.” The four of them responded again.

“This is the distress signal, just in case.” She gave the four of them a distress smoke bomb each: “Make sure you keep your belongings on you. Remember, don’t reveal your wealth. Just put some essential items in your cosmos sack on your waist and make sure you hide your dagger in your boots.”

The four of them sat by the firepit and listened to everything Feng Jiu said. They remembered and acted accordingly because they knew that over the next year, their lives might be saved by remembering his teachings at this point in time.

Chapter 1056: The Only Way

As night fell, the smell of the barbequed meat spread. The few of them ate and talked when they suddenly heard a noise in the quiet night. They looked around their surroundings quickly in response.

“Haha, I didn’t expect there to be anyone here. Are the few of you also going to Hell Mountains?”

The two strong men wore mercenary soldier uniforms, one of them was peak Foundation Core level and the other was Golden Core level. The person who spoke was the Golden Core cultivator.

When they saw the few of them look at them warily, they smiled heartily and said: “Don’t worry, we are mercenaries from the mercenary soldiers’ union. We came to Hell Mountains because we have been hired to protect our employer. We are also camping in the same area and we decided to check it out when we saw the fire.”

“I see.” Feng Jiu nodded her head but didn’t say anything more.

The two men had only just realised that the few people around the firepit were only young boys and their cultivation strength weren’t that strong either. They couldn’t help but ask in surprise: “You are going into Hell Mountains? Why aren’t you accompanied by other people?”

“Aren’t we people?” Song Ming asked, dissatisfied.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. What I mean is that Hell Mountains is not an ordinary place and I can see that your cultivation level is at Foundation Core. You shouldn’t enter Hell Mountains if you don’t have a strong cultivator accompanying you. Otherwise, you might not be able to leave after you enter.”

“Thank you for your kind intentions, we are used to it.”

When they heard this, the two mercenaries knew that they weren’t welcome so they smiled and took their leave: “Then we shan’t disturb you. Goodbye.” Saying that, they turned and left.

Upon seeing them leave, Song Ming walked out a little distance and then turned around and said: “They’re gone. And there are indeed campers nearby. There are about thirty to forty, it’s quite a big group.”

“Well, Hell Mountains nickname is the Land Of Death, there is of course danger inside.” Feng Jiu nodded and looked at them: “Once we’re inside, you must listen to my instructions. If you get into trouble, don’t make any rash decisions and don’t fight with other people unless you have no other choice.”

“Yes, we understand.” They nodded their heads in response.

“Duan Ye and Luo Fei will stand guard. You will change shifts in the middle of the night. When we’re inside it’s the same, someone must stand guard while we rest.” She instructed again.

After they finished eating, they split the remainder of the food between the five of them and went to rest. They then changed teams to stand guard in the middle of the night.

The next morning at dawn, they woke up and got themselves ready before they entered the forest.

The weeds in front of the forest were overgrown and were as high as half a person’s height. They could barely see the path they were walking on. The ground was not hard but made of sand and stones. Because the water was abundant in the forest, the ground was relatively soft. Their feet sunk into the ground slightly with every step they took. The air was also slightly damp around them.

After walking for a while, Song Ming who was up ahead said: “The road up ahead looks like someone has been through it. The grass is bent and there are many footprints on the ground.”

“This is the only way into Hell Mountains. It’s not surprising that someone has been through here.”

Feng Jiu looked up as she spoke. The leaves above her head were so dense that she couldn’t see the sky. The atmosphere inside was cool as the sunlight was unable to penetrate. The surroundings looked exactly alike, it was very easy to get lost in here.

Her eyes landed on the cluttered branches and then looked at the tall weeds in the forest. She spoke suddenly…..

Chapter 1057: Isolated Cliff

“We will walk from above.” Her eyes were fixed on the branches above them as she said: “By skimming across the branches, we will be able to shorten our journey time.” As soon as her voice fell, her toes tapped lightly and she had risen up onto a branch and looked down at the people below her.

Upon seeing this, the few of them also followed suit and tiptoed up onto the branches above them. Even the Cloud Devouring Beast also followed by their side and walked across the branches with them.

Just like Feng Jiu had said, it was much faster flying across the branches as they didn’t need to dodge out of the way of the long weeds and explore the path ahead. They were also able to use the elasticity of the branches to leap forwards. As they weren’t a big group of people, there were only five of them, this method of travelling was very suitable for them.

The figure in red led the way through the forest up ahead while the four people and one beast followed behind. They were much faster than the people who were travelling on foot.

By noon, they had passed through the forest and arrived at the foot of Hell Mountains. However, upon their arrival, their hearts felt stagnant.

“This looks like the right place, but why are there so many cultivators here? And how are we going to get through to this place?” Ning Lang looked at the cultivators, some were sitting down, some were standing up and some were leaning against the trees resting, he couldn’t help but gulp.

At almost the same time the five of them appeared, the cultivators looked in their direction, their eyes boring into them as they looked them up and down, as they seemed to be evaluating their cultivation strength. Their scalps numbed involuntarily as they felt like they were being stared at by a pack of hungry wolves.

Those cultivators seemed to have decent cultivation strength levels. There were also some who possessed fiercely evil breath coming from their bodies, like that of men of desperation. There were also demonic cultivators, and there weren’t just one or two of them either.

There were a dozen people in a group at one side, and there were some groups that seemed to be made up of family members. In total, there were about fifty or sixty people, and the youngest were between twenty to thirty years old. The group leaders were of Golden Core cultivators and the people in the group of Foundation cultivators and above.

When these people looked like this, it seemed very strange that the five teenagers appeared in this place. It was no wonder that as soon as they had arrived here, all eyes were fixed on the five people and one beast.

It could be said that the five teenagers with Foundation stage cultivation strength had come to this place to die.

Other than Ning Lang’s hair on his skin standing up under the watchful eyes of all those people, the others’ expressions remained unchanged. After they glanced back briefly at those people, their gaze landed on the vacant space one hundred metres in front of them.

The edge of the forest on this side was isolated from the edge of the cliff of the mountain on the other side. The distance between the two cliff edges was about one hundred metres apart. There was nothing on either side of the cliffs that could be used to cross over. Moreover, there was a no-fly enchantment set up so none of the cultivators, that’s why the cultivators were unable to fly across or travel on their flying swords.

Below the one hundred metres space was a bottomless abyss and there was a faint mist spreading underneath so one was unable to see clearly. However, even just looking down from the great height was enough to frighten anyone.

Chapter 1058: Power Struggle In Front Of The Cliff

There was no iron bridge to use to cross over or anything else that they could borrow the force with. Because the distance wasn’t short, one was unable to jump across by themself. The use of any airships or flying swords was also impossible.

Moreover, there seemed to be some form of current looming in the abyss and the sound of the current roared as it rushed up from below, echoing in the air. It was like the call of death, as if anyone who dared cross would be swallowed by the whizzing current from below.

“Let’s go over and take a look!”

Feng Jiu said and leapt lightly from the branches landing steadily on the ground. In front of everyone’s eyes, the teenager’s red clothes flew up as he walked leisurely and came to the edge of the cliff.

Duan Ye and the rest followed behind Feng Jiu, even the little ball of white fur Cloud Devouring Beast also followed Feng Jiu with its little short legs. It lifted its head proudly and wagged its tail, ignoring everyone’s gaze as it walked along.

“How will we get across?” Duan Ye asked. He frowned as he looked at Feng Jiu: “This is the way, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.” She nodded in response as she looked over the cliff in front of her. She said: “However, this is an obstruction. In addition to preventing the beast from the opposite side of the cliff from coming over, it is also a test for the cultivators on this side of the cliff.”

She paused, her lips curved upwards slightly: “If you can’t even get past here, what right do you have to enter Hell Mountains?”

“But how will we get across? Not to mention that there’s no bridge, there isn’t even a rope and you can’t even fly across on a flying sword or an aircraft. We can’t fly by ourselves.” Luo Fei said as he glanced at the people around them. It seemed like those people were also thinking of ways to get across.

Although Hell Mountains was dangerous, it didn’t mean that no one was able to get across. So why were there so many people on this side?

“What do you think you’re looking at lad?”

A fierce-looking cultivator saw Luo Fei looking around and shouted fiercely, the strength behind his Foundation Stage powers surged.

“I’m just looking around, was I looking at you?” Luo Fei replied, not showing any fear of the other cultivator’s fierce threatening eyes and tone. Although he had promised Feng Jiu he wouldn’t cause any trouble, however, he hadn’t done anything and he wasn’t going to be bullied for no reason.

There were so many people here, and he didn’t shout at anyone but him. It was obvious that he was trying to prove to other people that he was more superior.

That cultivator really did have this thought in mind. Everyone had been on this side of the cliff for days and no one had figured out a way to get across but daren’t leave at this point. The other groups of people seemed quite strong and not easy to deal with, hence these teams of casual cultivators had decided to pick on someone they thought was an easy target so that they didn’t become targets themselves.

That’s why they chose to pick on these young boys who had just arrived. These boys were young and only Foundation Stage cultivators, they probably didn’t have much worldly experience either. As long as they shouted at them fiercely and showed their brutal bloodthirsty side, other people wouldn’t dare to touch them would they?

Therefore, if Luo Fei hadn’t talked back to the cultivator, it would have been fine. However, because he talked back, the cultivator stood up.

Chapter 1059: Can Handle It

“What did you just say lad? I dare you to repeat it!”

This guy was trying to stir up trouble, grasping at straws, refusing to back down and trying to take a stand for himself. The cultivators who saw through the act grimaced in contempt.

It was despicable using a young boy to prove his power and strength.

When he saw the cultivator approach him aggressively, Luo Fei asked angrily: “I said was I looking at you? Did I step on you or call your mother names? You think I’m easy to push around because I’m young don’t you? Do you want to fight? If you want to fight then say the word, I’ll fight with you!”

“You’re revolting! You dare talk to your elder like that!” That cultivator shouted angrily. One of his hands reached out to grab his hem to lift him up and the other hand had curled into a fist to punch him in the face.

“You son of a turtle! I shall teach you a lesson today!” Luo Fei evaded his blow and struck out at the same time.

When everyone saw this, they came closer to enjoy the show. That strong guy was a Foundation peak-stage cultivator and the young boy was only a Foundation mid-stage cultivator, therefore the young boy was probably not a match against the strong guy. However, his courage against the strong guy took everyone by surprise.

Duan Ye and the rest were about to go and help him when they were stopped by Feng Jiu: “He can manage himself.”

Although Luo Fei was only a Foundation mid-stage cultivator, his combat strength was strong. Moreover, she couldn’t step in everytime. Whenever there was an opportunity, she would let them clean up their own messes. This battle was inevitable.

Ever since the few of them arrived at this place, they had drawn unwanted attention to themselves. They thought that they were weak and could be easily bullied? In that case, they could only prove their own strength.

That cultivator wanted to use Luo Fei, but Luo Fei was also quick witted and had the same idea as him. Rather than being picked on by others, why not take the initiative to attack instead. Besides, under these circumstances, he was only seen as defending himself.

The meaning behind this battle was obvious, as long as you don’t provoke me, no matter how strong I am, I won’t provoke you.

Therefore, he was not going to lose this battle, he would win. As long as he won, then he would get the desired effect.

“Boom boom boom! Swish!”

The sounds of fists banging sounded out and the violent airflow that passed between them surged. The Foundation stage pressure from them spread out accompanying their blows. Visible airflow that the naked eye could see also followed their fists as they threw punches.

Both were Foundation Stage cultivators, one was peak-stage and one was mid-stage, with the latter being a teenager. When everyone saw the young boy fighting against his opponent without showing any signs of being inferior but having the upper hand instead, they were all surprised.

Some of the Golden Core cultivators noticed that though the boy was only young, he was extremely fast and his skills were ingenious. He definitely wasn’t just a boy with training from an ordinary family. Against a Foundation peak-stage cultivator, he didn’t show fear but instead displayed courage and was scathing fighting skills.

“Boom!”

At this moment, the young boy flew up and turned, kicking the cultivator in the chest. He was thrown a few metres back by the blow. The strong man grunted and clenched his fists as he glared murderously at the young boy.

Chapter 1060: No Help

There was surprise in everyone’s eyes when they saw that the Foundation peak-stage cultivator was not a match against the Foundation mid-stage youth. They looked at the young boy thoughtfully, what they were thinking of was unknown.

“Ah!”

The strong man let out a loud scream and pulled out a large sword from his waist. He charged towards Luo Fei with the intention to kill him, the menacing force that surged from him chilled one’s heart.

The young boy also drew a sword from his waist and fought against the strong man. The swords collided and made crips clanging sounds. The aggressive power behind the swords as they collided formed a stream of airflow that whistled between the two of them. The smell of fresh blood permeated through the air. A loud clash threw the two of them apart from the two streams of airflow.

The two figures lost their balance and staggered on the ground. They retreated a few metres back before they managed to stabilize their feet. It was difficult to determine the winner. Though Luo Fei had the upper hand in speed and skill, he still failed to kill his opponent in one blow, therefore it didn’t count as a win.

However, his ability to fight against a Foundation peak-stage cultivator had shocked some people. Of course, the Golden Core cultivators were an exception.

Upon seeing that Luo Fei was going to carry on fighting, Feng Jiu said: “Enough, don’t waste your energy. You’re better off thinking of how you can get across!”

After hearing this, Luo Fei stared at the strong man and kept his sword then walked over to Feng Jiu. However, at this moment, when the strong man saw Luo Fei keep his sword and walked towards the other young boy, his heart filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and charged towards Luo Fei with the large sword in his hand.

Upon seeing this, some of the cultivators from influential families frowned, some of them disapproved and found it despicable. However, they only frowned and didn’t give any warning or help.

It wasn’t wise to help a few young boys with unknown backgrounds and offend those fierce and vicious cultivators.

As for those demonic cultivators and casual cultivators, they would definitely not offer any help or warning. They couldn’t care less about the life and death of others. On the contrary, they would be pleased to see fresh blood spilled in front of them.

Luo Fei who was walking back to Feng Jiu never imagined that the strong man would be so shameless. When he looked back vigilantly, he saw that the figure had already closed in within three steps from him. The big sword encompassed a fierce and murderous pressure, it slashed out towards him with aggression and strength. Even if he had wanted to avoid the sword, there was not enough time for him to react under such circumstances, so he watched as the big sword approached him.

Duan Ye and the rest were three metres away from him. When they saw this, they took a deep breath in anger and shock. Even if they were to help him, there was no way they would be able to save him from the speed of the sword at that distance away from him.

Therefore, their hearts tightened as they exclaimed: “Be careful!” Hoping that he would be able to avoid the sword himself.

Just as their shouts faded, when everyone looked on at the moment when the big sword was just about to chop Luo Fei’s head off causing blood to splash everywhere, a red figure flew out as quick as lightning.

The speed was so fast that everyone only saw a red figure flash across. At the next moment, there was a cry of exclamation as the burly figure who was holding the big sword was kicked by the figure in red and flew backwards……
