Chapter 955: Chapter 955: What is You're Welcome Chapter 955: Chapter 955: What is You're Welcome Luo Shuchen was slightly shocked when he heard Bai Jiuzhou's words. Could Feng Jun really instantly kill a high-rank cultivator?
He didn't disbelieve it entirely. He had considerable respect for Feng Jun, who had indeed managed to subdue the eighth layer cultivator within five breaths.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't a gap between Bai Jiuzhou and Feng Jun. After all, it was a case of the prepared against the unprepared. Most crucially, Bai Jiuzhou was not known for his defense but for his agility-oriented attacking strength.
However, as much as he admired him, hearing Bai Jiuzhou admit that Feng Jun could instantly kill him, Luo Shuchen still found it a bit hard to accept–this really challenged his understanding.
Feng Jun, however, didn't care about Bai Jiuzhou's protests and coldly said, “You haven't answered my question yet! My patience is limited!”
Bai Jiuzhou was genuinely annoyed. A mere low-rank cultivator daring to speak to me like this? Do you know what the name “Bai Jiuzhou” stands for?
But he really didn't dare to lash out, as the shadow of death loomed over him, and he believed that his opponent would indeed make the kill if necessary.
Just then, Leng Qionghua spoke up, “Old Bai, can Feng Daoist Friend really kill you instantly?”
“Isn't that obvious?” Bai Jiuzhou replied helplessly, “I am not afraid of death, but it just feels a bit unjust… This guy actually needs no protection.”
“That's because it's the prepared against the unprepared,” said Leng Qionghua nonchalantly, well aware of the benefits of striking first due to her strength in sneak attacks, “In a fair fight, you Old Bai wouldn't lose.”
Then she looked towards Feng Jun and spoke seriously, “Why we secretly came to protect you, it's hard to explain clearly… Generally, Pine Cypress Peak doesn't want to be blamed for others' deeds.”
After a pause, she continued, “I, Leng Sha, am quite a significant figure, you can inquire about it. Would I dress as an old woman and hide for over ten days if I hadn't accepted this mission?”
Luo Shuchen nodded and agreed, “That's true. Fairy Leng Sha is famous for her elegance. It must mean something serious for her to willingly disguise herself in such an ugly manner…”
His comment was quite fair, but then he quickly changed the subject, “If that's the case, why did your Gu Cultivator companions suddenly attack the Mortals of Mount Zhige?”
Oh my god, Bai Jiuzhou and Leng Qionghua instantly realized why Feng Jun and the Heavenly Heart elder had attacked without a word–they had mistaken them for being in the same group as the Gu Cultivators.
Leng Sha felt these opponents were indeed bizarre in their thinking, “People say Tianxin Platform is full of madmen, and it's really true… If we were together with the Gu Cultivators, would we attack them like this?”
Luo Shuchen logically responded, “You could be covering up, creating chaos and then silencing… Isn't that normal?”
Leng Qionghua slapped her forehead in exasperation, “Please, if we wanted to silence someone, would we need such an effort? After fighting for so long only to capture both alive!”
Realizing their mistake, Feng Jun and Luo Shuchen suddenly understood–it seemed they really fought the wrong people.
Thus, Feng Jun raised his hand, retracting the Immortal Binding Rope, and bowed to Bai Jiuzhou, speaking earnestly, “Please forgive me, Daoist Yi Han. We also saw that both of you have extraordinary combat strength and had to go all out… Fortunately, it didn't lead to a greater disaster.”
Bai Jiuzhou rolled his eyes annoyedly; today's events really caused him to lose face. He wasn't a magnanimous person and even thought about teaching them a lesson again.
But since the other party apologized openly, he couldn't be too narrow-minded and only snorted coldly, “Had I known your combat strength was so extraordinary, we wouldn't have needed to intervene, getting hit after trying to help…”
Feng Jun laughed, “Brother Yi Han, please forgive me. I am willing to offer two jars of Three Parting Sorrow Wine as an apology. What do you think?”
Bai Jiuzhou, also a lover of good wines even though he took the path of strange assassination, wasn't a professional killer with vows against alcohol and sex. A good drink before and after a battle greatly relaxed him.
So he promptly replied, “Five jars!”
Feng Jun raised his eyebrows, not hesitating to respond, “Deal!”
Bai Jiuzhou realized he had made another mistake and had to emphasize, “I meant the kind that has fifty kilograms per jar.”
Feng Jun initially meant to give him two jars of ten kilograms each, but hearing his request for five, he switched to five kilograms per jar as standard–after all, his Storage Bag was filled with various sizes of booze jars.
Hearing this, he laughed and shook his head, “Sorry, I only have five kilograms per jar, making twenty-five kilograms… That's not too little.”
Bai Jiuzhou, fierce in swordplay and dreadful in killing, really wasn't good at bargaining, “I want two hundred and fifty kilograms!”
“Alright,” Luo Shuchen chuckled, “Even Master Busheng didn't get two hundred and fifty kilograms. You're thinking too much, Bai Friend.”
Bai Jiuzhou looked at the yellow glow around him, speaking irritably, “Do you know how much this Defense Talisman is worth in Spirit Stones?”
Feng Jun spread his hands, “Please, you were sneaking around next to my territory, which led me to misunderstand your intentions!”
Bai Jiuzhou really isn't good at negotiating, and after a long time, he reluctantly hummed, “How do you know my real name?”
This was also one of the reasons why he was wary of Feng Jun. The name “Bai Yihan” had not been used by him for over a hundred years.
“Hehe,” Feng Jun laughed mysteriously and did not answer.
It was Luo Shuchen who was quick to speak, “Fellow Feng is skilled in divination, especially in divining names. He is accurate every single time.”
After these discussions, the four of them could finally sit down and talk about today's events.
As it turned out, no one knew why the two Gu Cultivators suddenly acted out and used Gu on ordinary people.
Fortunately, both Gu Cultivators were captured, with Elder Liao Brother's arms broken and Second Liao Brother's legs broken.
Feng Jun raised his hand and used Levitation Object Collection to summon Elder Liao Brother, then spoke emotionlessly, “I want to know your purpose, or else I won't mind killing your brother first!”
This method of threat was very… Mobile Phone-influenced, as people here don't care much about life or death, but they do care deeply about their relatives.
Elder Liao Brother was also a tough one, “We come by the order of the Snake King, to eliminate any potential Gu Kings.”
He originally planned to confront Feng Jun directly, but to save face for the Gu Cultivators, he wanted to establish his presence first. Now it seemed that the presence was ruined, but his purpose… there was nothing he couldn't say.
The four quickly understood the logic of the Liao Family Brothers. Leng Qionghua skeptically glanced at Feng Jun, “You drove out Gu insects, and even… drove out a Gu King?”
She was deeply astonished: Is there anything you cannot do?
“I also didn't know it was a potential Gu King,” Feng Jun spread his hands, speaking very calmly, “Unfortunately, that creature is already dead. I fed it to my Spirit Plant Shepherd!”
“That was a potential Gu King!” Luo Shuchen expressed his regret painfully, “Feng, fellow, what you did was really not graceful!”
“This is impossible!” Elder Liao Brother exclaimed loudly, “A potential Gu King carries destiny with it. If it died, its destiny would dissipate over a process. We didn't notice this process–it's like it vanished into thin air!”
“More importantly… if your Spirit Plant Shepherd ate it, even just its body, it should carry some destiny!”
“Impossible things are plentiful,” Feng Jun spoke indifferently, “My Spirit Plant Shepherd has long transcended the category of Gu insects. Its ultimate goal is to cultivate and transform… what's the point of being a Gu King?”
Elder Liao Brother's eyes lit up, “Right, I want to buy your Spirit Plant Shepherd. Name your price.”
“Do we have a good relationship?” Feng Jun's face darkened, and with a swift motion, he stomped, cleanly breaking one of Elder Liao Brother's legs, “Buying my Spirit Plant Shepherd, look how big your cheek is… believe it or not, I can finish you off right now?”
Elder Liao Brother did not cry out in pain, it was as if the leg that was crushed wasn't his, Gu Cultivators can be ruthless not only towards others but also towards themselves–indeed, some pain during the Gu-raising process can drive one mad.
He narrowed his eyes, giving a sinister smile, “Killing me is fine, but… do you want to make enemies with all Gu Cultivators?”
“Make enemies with all Gu Cultivators?” Luo Shuchen immediately became irritated, stepped forward and directly slapped him back and forth dozens of times.
After causing his face to bleed, he sneered, “Gu Cultivators, such scum should not exist in the Cultivation World. A few transcendent period Gu Cultivators being killed… seizing your Snake King, they should be grateful already!”
Elder Liao Brother was truly helpless against him, not only was he from Tianxin Platform, but he also heard that a disciple highly regarded by Master Busheng had struggled for six or seven years because of Gu Cultivators.
But though he dared not provoke Tianxin Platform, it did not mean he feared Feng Jun. He spoke to Feng Jun, “My brother and I came here, not intending to start a major conflict, otherwise, you know, it would not just be the situation at hand.”
“Uh-huh,” Feng Jun nodded, speaking composedly, “Continue.”
“My Gu Cultivators have good relations with Tiantong,” Elder Liao Brother said solemnly, “We originally did not intend to offend you, sir. If we can stop here, you would gain the friendship of the Gu Cultivators.”
Feng Jun curiously looked at him, “The friendship of Gu Cultivators… do you think you can represent all Gu Cultivators? Or do you think I care about such so-called friendship?”
“Why talk so much nonsense with him?” Luo Shuchen listened a bit impatiently, “If you are not convenient to make a move, leave it to me, I don't believe the Snake King would dare to trouble a Tianxin Platform Disciple.”
“Then you make a move,” Feng Jun waved his hand, knowing Luo Shuchen's way of doing things, he didn't bother being polite, “It's up to you whether they live or die, actually the potential Gu King was indeed born from a Tianxin Platform Disciple.”
Hearing this, Elder Liao Brother immediately panicked, knowing that falling into the hands of Tianxin Platform would mean a fate worse than death, “Wait, wait, Feng senior, my brother and I have been quite polite to you, haven't we?”
“Polite?” Feng Jun laughed angrily, “Attacking my caravan, placing Gu on people in my territory… you call this polite?”
“I'm really curious, if you don't intend to be polite, what would you do?”
