Xia Lin was relieved to see her brother so confident. She only knew that her brother was a cultivator and could fly her into the sky, but she didn't understand how powerful he truly was.
"Then I'm relieved," Xia Lin smiled.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it," Xia Feng smiled.
After a brief chat, Xia Lin left the room. Xia Feng released his divine sense and detected two cultivators at the Lu Di Shen Xian (Land Immortal) level in Modu.
"Little Dragon, Old Peter, come with me somewhere," Xia Feng called out to them after going downstairs.
"Yes, Master," they replied. Long Aotian quickly went to get the car ready first.
Meanwhile, Hong Ben Zong and Mu Rong Tian Gu, who were still drinking at the club, had no idea that someone as powerful as an immortal was heading their way.
"Old Hong, this foreign liquor isn't very good either," Mu Rong Tian Gu said with a smack of his lips, sounding dissatisfied.
"It's really not great, it lacks flavor. Do you have any better Baijiu?" Hong Ben Zong asked Gu Zhe.
"Ancestor, I'll go ask for you," Gu Zhe said, standing up to find a waiter and order two bottles of Maotai.
"Ancestor, try this wine. This is a famous Baijiu from Huaxia," Gu Zhe said as he brought over the two bottles of Maotai.
"This wine is not bad. I've had it a few times before, and it's still palatable," Mu Rong Tian Gu remarked, looking at the Maotai Gu Zhe had brought.
The wine they usually drank was brewed by cultivators themselves, using some special ingredients, so the taste was naturally different. Many of the Baijiu available outside were concocted and increasingly mechanized, so the brewed liquor naturally lacked the same flavor as their own.
Gu Zhe opened the two bottles of Maotai and poured a glass for each of them.
"Little Gu, go get some snacks to go with the wine," Hong Ben Zong instructed again.
"Yes, Ancestor," Gu Zhe replied and went out to ask the waiter to prepare some side dishes.
After they had some drinks, Hong Ben Zong asked, "Did you notify Jin Xiao Chen?"
"Ancestor, I haven't been able to reach him yet," Gu Zhe replied respectfully.
"Then forget it. I'll find the Dragon Group myself later," Hong Ben Zong waved his hand.
Pu Zai Ye, listening from the side, secretly thought, "They're having a good time drinking now, but wait until that young man from the Dragon Group shows up. They'll probably be kneeling again. They all look so impressive, but they're only impressive in front of ordinary people. They're still treated like dogs by people from the country. Isn't it better to stay in the mountains honestly? Why are they showing off?"
Pu Zai Ye had no confidence in them now. The two elders sounded so formidable, yet they were defeated in one move. They were simply useless.
"Yes, Ancestor," Gu Zhe replied respectfully, like a child. Unlike Pu Zai Ye, his understanding of cultivator power was far superior because Gu Zhe knew that Lu Di Shen Xian were basically invincible figures. He had been in the Grandmaster realm for decades, diligently cultivating day after day, yet his cultivation had not increased at all. He knew how difficult it was to progress in later stages of cultivation, so those who could cultivate to the Lu Di Shen Xian level were basically invincible. The Lu Di Shen Xian level was his lifelong dream; only with this strength could one have a voice in the cultivation world. Although Grandmasters were already like deities in the eyes of ordinary people, he knew they were still not enough in the eyes of his Ancestor. The First Elder and Third Elder came out and were subdued in one move by someone at the Lu Di Shen Xian level, which showed the gap.
Gu Zhe's perception was already biased by his Ancestor's words, and he believed Xia Feng was also a cultivator at the Lu Di Shen Xian level.
"The people from the Dragon Group are here," Hong Ben Zong said with a smile.
"They're here?" Gu Zhe asked, glancing towards the door, but he didn't see anyone.
"Two with cultivation close to Lu Di Shen Xian," Mu Rong Tian Gu also smiled. They were sensing Long Aotian and Du Lapete, but they didn't have the ability to sense Xia Feng.
"Why does the Dragon Group have so many extraordinary individuals?" Gu Zhe asked in surprise. "Did these two capture the First Elder and Third Elder?" That didn't seem right either, as he clearly remembered Pu Zai Ye saying it was just a young man who defeated them in one move.
"Don't underestimate the country," Hong Ben Zong said, glancing at Gu Zhe.
"Yes, Ancestor, your teachings are correct," Gu Zhe nodded in agreement. He then curiously continued, "Ancestor, aren't any Lu Di Shen Xian level people coming?"
"No," Hong Ben Zong shook his head.
As they were talking, Long Aotian walked in with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "This is not a place to talk. If you're wise, follow me." Long Aotian then turned and left.
Gu Zhe was unhappy with Long Aotian's attitude, but Mu Rong Tian Gu and Hong Ben Zong didn't seem to care. Pu Zai Ye, having met Long Aotian once before and witnessed him fighting the First Elder before a young man defeated them, was even less concerned.
After Long Aotian left, Hong Ben Zong stood up and led the way out. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Long Aotian driving away in a car, with Pu Zai Ye following closely behind. The two cars arrived at a secluded place. Xia Feng, sitting in the back seat, said to the two, "Go and test your skills against them."
"Yes, Master," Long Aotian and Du Lapete got out of the car. At this moment, Hong Ben Zong and Mu Rong Tian Gu also got out. The two looked at Du Lapete and asked, "Are the people from the Dragon Group also getting involved with the Blood Clan?"
"Mind your own business. Let us test the cultivation of the Lu Di Shen Xian level," Long Aotian said, launching his attack first. His Master had told him to test their skills, so it was time to act without further ado. Long Aotian and Du Lapete attacked directly without any warning.
Hong Ben Zong smiled as he saw Long Aotian and Du Lapete attacking so recklessly, and said, "Tian Gu, I'll teach them a lesson." With that, Hong Ben Zong transformed into a lightning bolt and rushed forward. Although Long Aotian and Du Lapete were infinitely close to Lu Di Shen Xian, the gap in their cultivation levels quickly became apparent. The two fought Hong Ben Zong together, but they were at a disadvantage everywhere and were constantly in danger of serious injury. The gap in cultivation levels was still significant.
Xia Feng watched for a while from the car and then opened the door to get out. Pu Zai Ye, who had been watching with great interest, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw Xia Feng get out. As if he had seen a ghost, he pointed at Xia Feng and said in horror, "Sect Master, it's him! It's him who defeated the two elders in one move!"
Xia Feng's sudden appearance drew the attention of both Hong Ben Zong and Mu Rong Tian Gu, neither of whom had noticed anyone else in the car. While Hong Ben Zong was confused, Mu Rong Tian Gu, who was watching from the back, suddenly turned pale and trembled violently. As everyone looked on in bewilderment, Gu Zhe witnessed an incredibly shocking scene: a super expert at the Lu Di Shen Xian level was running directly towards that person. With a choked voice, he knelt before him, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "Benefactor, please accept Tian Gu's bow."
