Chapter 1999

The tremors in the inn caused a small commotion.

Everyone came out one after another to investigate the source of the energy. However, the energy disappeared in a flash and they could not trace it back to its source.

When they came out, they saw Qing Feng still standing in the hallway. However, his face seemed to be paler than usual.

Not finding anything unusual, they looked at the room behind Qing Feng in fear. They all knew that it was Zi Chen's room. Then, they returned to the room.

In the room, in front of Zi Chen's teacup, the ripples caused by the tea had not yet dissipated. Opposite him, Yi Qian sat there quietly. She looked up at Zi Chen with a touch of surprise in her eyes. "He's dead."

Nodding slightly, Zi Chen picked up the teacup with his right hand. The ripples had already dissipated and Zi Chen drank the tea in one gulp.

The two of them naturally knew about Jared's arrival. Now that Qing Feng had appeared and Jared was nowhere to be seen, it was obvious that Jared was dead.

…

…

Outside the Flying Feather Inn, after seeing Jared enter the inn, the six of them rushed over as fast as they could and gathered together again. Perhaps they had the idea of being the oriole behind, so they waited quietly outside.

After a short period of time, the entire Flying Feather Inn began to tremble. A visible ripple began to spread out.

This ripple did not create a huge destructive force. It only caused a slight energy tremor.

After that … there was no more after that.

"Where is he? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

The six people who were waiting did not see Jared appear. Their faces were filled with confusion.

In this short period of time, the two of them might be able to determine a winner, but it was definitely impossible to determine life and death.

Since it was impossible to determine life and death, then where did Jared go?

Accurate news quickly spread from the inn. Qing Feng was still standing outside Zi Chen's room. His face was slightly pale. As for Jared, there was no trace of him. It was suspected that he was … dead.

"How is this possible?"

"Qing Feng killed Jared."

"Impossible. Qing Feng can't kill Jared."

The six of them could not accept the news of Jared's death. Jared's strength was on par with theirs. If Qing Feng could kill Jared, didn't that mean that Qing Feng's strength was not weaker than Zi Chen's?

However, they had never seen Qing Feng before. This was simply a guy who appeared out of nowhere. How could he be so powerful?

Although there were many hidden aristocratic families in the First Mainland, they knew most of the experts. Even if they didn't know them, they had at least heard of them. However, they were certain that they had never seen or heard of Qing Feng before.

"Where did this guy come from? He's actually so strong."

There was shock in his eyes. Regardless of whether Jia Er was alive or dead, it proved that he was no match for Qing Feng. Moreover, he had been defeated very quickly.

This battle was sufficient to prove Qing Feng's strength. Wanting to fight one-on-one and snatch a spot from him, the six of them hesitated.

…

…

"Oh, Garr disappeared."

Soon, the news reached Yan Wei. When he heard that Garry had challenged Qing Feng but disappeared, he was very surprised. He raised his head and looked at the Heaven-Defying Cultivator.

"Yes, he still hasn't appeared. We don't know if he's dead or alive," the Heaven Defying Cultivator said in a low voice.

"In this world, it is too difficult to trap a Heaven-defying Cultivator. Since Jia Ar has not appeared, there is an eighty percent chance that he has been killed," Yan Wei said with a faint smile.

"What? Dead? How could it be? The battle didn't last long."

"It has nothing to do with time. It only proves how strong the opponent is. When Zi Chen and Lei Dong fought, it didn't last long either," said Yan Wei.

"It's different. How could he be compared to Zi Chen?"

"Why can't he be compared to Zi Chen?"

The Heaven-Defying Cultivator opened his eyes wide, disbelief in his eyes.

Qi Wei chuckled. "This is the life star, also known as the land of miracles. It's the beginning of the endless starry sky. People who are born in this world have a lot of variables. Anything that happens here won't make people feel strange."

Gao Wei's evaluation of this world was very high. In fact, it wasn't just Gao Wei. In the endless starry sky, everyone's evaluation of this world was very high. Unfortunately, the people of this world didn't know their own potential. They were constantly fighting among themselves, squandering their own potential and suppressing the potential of others.

"But, an existence like Zi Chen doesn't appear even once in ten million years." The Heaven-Defying Cultivator still couldn't believe that Qing Feng had the fighting competence that could compare to Zi Chen.

"Ten million years is just a metaphor. Perhaps, in the past twenty million years, such an existence didn't appear. That's why, in this ten million years, the two of them appeared together."

Yan Wei lifted his head to look outside the window as if he could see the endless sea of stars through the window. He sighed and said, "Perhaps, this is the ever-changing variable on the life star. Go and find out where Qing Feng came from. Our plan this time can't have any mistakes."

"Yes."

The Heaven-Defying Cultivator didn't expect that Yan Wei would have such a high evaluation of Qing Feng. He nodded and left. Then, he used all his authority and resources to investigate Qing Feng's background.

After the Defiant of the Heavens left, Ji Wei withdrew his gaze from the window and looked down at the tea table below. A confident smile appeared on his face as he softly said, "Extreme speed, extreme Yang, extreme Yin, fragment, doppelganger, short knife, bow and arrow. Hmm, maybe now I'll add … Qing Feng."

…

…

Yi Qian didn't linger in Zi Chen's place for a long time. She bid farewell to him and left. In this Flying Feather City, everything seemed to be calm. In fact, the undercurrents were surging. Each of their actions was being monitored all the time.

At this moment, Yi Qian had to avoid getting too close to Zi Chen.

"Kid, you should consider this trip carefully."

After Yi Qian left, Black Tiger walked out of the room and jumped on the chair. He stood on all fours and looked at Zi Chen.

"What's there to consider? It's just a battle of schemes."

With a faint smile, Zi Chen said, "Those four Heaven-Defying Cultivators will definitely be together. They chose the four of them in order to increase their chances of killing me. At that time, Lei Dong will definitely be a helper. Wu Xing is an unstable factor, but at the critical moment, he will definitely attack me. As for Hei Long and An Peng, they aren't weak. Even if they won't help me at the critical moment, they won't harm me either. I only need to face Yan Wei and the other two."

"Yan Wei is already very scary. If he has five helpers, this trip will be very dangerous." Black Tiger stared at Zi Chen with his scarlet eyes.

Zi Chen shook his head. "Not necessarily. Perhaps he will choose to watch from the sidelines until I completely kill those five. But regardless of whether they join hands or not, I have to go because I can't just watch Yan Wei obtain the complete shield. At that time, it won't be as simple as me entering the star passage. At that time, the Heaven-Defying Cultivators won't leave. They will sooner or later occupy this world and then invade the Martial Heaven Continent."

Zi Chen didn't care much about the Martial Heaven Continent. He only had a few friends. But the Martial Heaven Continent was not only his friends, but also his home. It was the place where he had risen.

He had to protect that place. That was his responsibility.

Choosing to go with Yan Wei to find the shield was a dangerous matter in itself. But on the way, when had Zi Chen not taken a risk?

Cultivation was something that defied the heavens. Furthermore, he himself was a Heaven-Defying Cultivator.

To go against the heavens, he naturally had to take risks.

Riches and honor were found in danger.

"What do you think of Qingfeng?" asked Zi Chen, tapping his finger on the table.

"Very strong," said Black Tiger.

"That's it." Zi Chen looked at Black Tiger.

"I have never seen him before. Naturally, I can't tell what his character is like. That's all I can say."

Rolling his scarlet eyes, Black Tiger said, "According to the reactions of those experts, it's clear that no one knows who Qingfeng is. But such a powerful existence that appeared out of nowhere doesn't even know who the people of the hidden aristocratic families are. His origin is naturally more mysterious than the hidden aristocratic families."

Zi Chen smiled and said, "This question, even a fool can see it."

Ignoring Zi Chen's teasing, Hei Hu continued, "To be able to be so secretive and not reveal the slightest bit of information, I really can't think of any faction other than that faction that is said to have been destroyed long ago that can be so secretive."

Zi Chen's eyes flashed with surprise. He asked, "Which power? Don't tell me it's the Heavenly Assassin Alliance?"

"The Heavenly Assassin Alliance doesn't have a stance. Although it's very mysterious, it's definitely not isolated from the world. But that power is different. It has a stance. If this Qingfeng is really from that power, you don't have to worry about him harming you. He might even help you at a critical moment."

"It's true. What power is it?"

Black Tiger shook his head and said, "I'm just guessing. That power has been gone for a long time. Unlike the Heavenly Assassin Alliance that always appears during the Great Chaos, they haven't appeared for a long time. Perhaps they have already been destroyed. As for the name of the power, it's meaningless to tell you. If you can come back alive this time, you will definitely know where Qingfeng came from. If you die, it's meaningless to know."

Zi Chen nodded and decided not to ask any more questions.

…

…

Black Dragon and the others who returned to the family quickly arrived at Blue Feather City. Because the slots were with Shao Wei, they immediately gathered there.

During this time, they naturally heard about Qingfeng's matter. They were very surprised that Qingfeng was able to kill Jared.

"I'm not sure. I couldn't find any clues about Qingfeng." Black Dragon shook his head in response to Shao Wei's inquiry.

After hearing that Qingfeng had killed Jared, he immediately mobilized his connections, but to no avail.
