Chapter 1257 1216: The Feeling of Being Watched

"Hmm?" Wang Zhanxin hesitated slightly, his gaze fixed on the Elderly Woman of Kunshan. He then shook his head and sneered, "Indeed, I have no grievance with him. But don't you think this kid, whose talent is monstrously excessive, is somewhat an eyesore? Besides, I'm just a messenger, Elderly Woman of Kunshan, do you know how much his head is worth?"

"How much?" The Elderly Woman of Kunshan's gaze sharpens, and she coldly asks.

"Three Double-Patterned Kun Python Cloud Pills!" Wang Zhanxin greedily licked his lips and laughed coldly.

"What! Three Double-Patterned Kun Python Cloud Pills? Are you saying, Jianng Wanli wants to kill him?" The Elderly Woman's pupils suddenly constricted, "Three Double-Patterned Kun Python Cloud Pills? This offer is shockingly huge!"

"Otherwise, who else would make me, Wang Zhanxin, run this errand personally?"

Wang Zhanxin sneered and said, "I've delivered the message. Are you willing to cooperate? Elderly Woman of Kunshan, give me a straightforward answer now. If you don't trust me, you can choose not to. I'll find someone else!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait." The Elderly Woman of Kunshan called out, her sharp gaze fixed on his face. "How will we split the Double-Patterned Kun Python Cloud Pills then?"

"According to merit." Wang Zhanxin smiled, and said faintly, "Whoever of us can kill him personally will take two parts. The remaining part, is that acceptable?"

The Elderly Woman of Kunshan remained silent. The two stood facing each other for a long time before the Elderly Woman of Kunshan lifted her head and slowly nodded, "Alright, that's how we'll split the Double-Patterned Kun Python Cloud Pills. But if there are other things, the Black Light Great Sword must be taken back by our Lan Family. As for the army, whoever gets them, it's theirs. How about that?"

"Good, deal. I'll now go borrow that mirror from Ancestor Changkong. You Lan Family should also make preparations."

Wang Zhanxin left with a smile.

After departing from the Lan Family's assembly hall, he headed straight to a private room in a teahouse within the city.

Inside, there was a middle-aged man, white as jade, drinking wine.

Beside him were two other people, one young and one old. The old man wore a long blue-white robe, his hair entirely silver. The most striking aspect was his eyes, mystical and bright, seemingly imbued with mysterious power, commanding respect and awe.

The middle-aged man appeared much more rugged, with a face covered in stubble, a fierce gaze. His arm, holding the wine cup, bore a long scar, like a centipede, malevolent and conspicuous.

Upon seeing Wang Zhanxin return, the man, white as jade, smiled and raised his cup, "Brother Wang, how did things go?"

Evidently, this man was none other than Jianng Wanli, whom Chen Fei had previously encountered.

"The Lan Family has agreed. I'm now here to inform you, and then I'll return to borrow that mirror from Ancestor Changkong."

Wang Zhanxin replied.

"Is that so? Well then... Everything's ready, just awaiting the east wind?" Jianng Wanli raised his cup, drained his drink with mutterings, then broke into a venomous smile, like a snake.

"Heh, ignorant fool, daring to oppose me, Jianng Wanli! Does Qi Xuchong really think he can protect you? I'm afraid not!"

Bang! The rough middle-aged man slammed his cup onto the table, shook his head and chuckled scornfully, "Jianng Pill King, why bother with all this trouble? Why involve the Lan Family... With everyone present here, adding you, there are already four at the Peak of Minor Heavenly Position. Even against someone at Great Heaven Rank, we'd be formidable. Killing a mere ant, that's roundly effortless."

"Indeed."

The old man coolly sipped his wine, releasing a spicy breath, casually saying, "I also think Jianng Pill King, you're being overly cautious regarding such a minor."

Jianng Wanli's expression shifted slightly, then he shook his head, saying faintly, "Being cautious is good, avoiding any unforeseen event. Furthermore, rest assured, what I promised you, once everything is done, there will be no issues."

"Alright then. Since Jianng Pill King has spoken, we'll abide by your arrangements." The scruffy middle-aged man chuckled heartily, ceasing any debate. After all, the important thing is obtaining the items, the rest is irrelevant.

"Hmm. Since Jianng Pill King seems ready, then I shall say no more, come, have a drink." The old man lightly lifted his cup towards Wang Zhanxin, drank his cup dry. His face turned slightly red, rather enjoying himself, unrestrained.

Wang Zhanxin calmly glanced at the old man, shook his head, and asked Jianng Wanli, "When should we act?"

"As soon as possible!" Jianng Wanli's eyes gleamed with coldness, replying.

"Good." Wang Zhanxin nodded, then turned to leave. About half an hour later, he returned, now holding an ancient treasure mirror, dusted over, as if it were worthless.

"Is this the treasure mirror in Ancestor Changkong's possession from the Eternal Temple? Such a bizarre item." The scruffy middle-aged man deeply gazed at the mirror Wang Zhanxin held, furrowing his brows, sensing a peculiar, fearsome power within, very strange.

"Let's begin." Jianng Wanli waved his hand broadly, his eyes brimming with viciousness, impatient.

"Mm." Wang Zhanxin nodded slightly, then his body levitated, standing elevated, he cautiously placed the mirror in the air in front of him, pointed gently at it, ignited a mysterious curse script and tossed it onto the treasure mirror. Instantly, the world changed, the room plunged into darkness, and an odd, boundless force shot out from the mirror, casting far into the distance.

At this moment, Wang Zhanxin pressed his hand onto the mirror. In his pupils appeared mysterious scenes, first blurry, then clearer. He could roughly discern, in a desolate ancient mountain, Chen Fei sat cross-legged on a broken cliff, statue-like, motionless, absorbing energy, as if cultivating.

Beside him was another young figure, not the main target, so it was hard to see who it was.

"Found him!" His eyes flashed brilliantly, eerily boundless, like a celestial eye, and then he roughly knew Chen Fei's current location. It was in a certain deep mountain several hundred miles outside Earth Martial City.

"Where?" Jiang Wanli stood up excitedly, his eyes filled with malice, and said.

"Several hundred miles outside the city." Wang Zhanxin said.

"Notify the Lan Family, then let's head over immediately!" Jiang Wanli strode toward the exit of the tavern, filled with murderous intent.

The middle-aged man with stubble and the old man promptly stood up and followed Jiang Wanli out.

Wang Zhanxin put away the precious mirror, first returning it to the Eternal Temple, then proceeded to the Lan Family.

"We've found him!"

"Where is he!?"

"A few hundred miles outside the city. Come on, I'll lead you there."

"Chen Fei? This time you'll pay in blood, understand that my Lan Family is not so easily provoked!"

...

Voices filled with killing intent spread out, as each Minor Heavenly Position character from the Lan Family stepped out of the ancient house with coldness, following Wang Zhanxin out of the city. This time, they intended to make that little beast pay the price!

...

Meanwhile, at Chen Fei's location, while cultivating, Chen Fei suddenly frowned, as if he felt a sense of being watched.

"What's the matter with you?" Nearby was Long Yi from Qi Family Fort. He saw Chen Fei suddenly stop while cultivating and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

"I feel like someone is watching me." Chen Fei frowned deeply and said slowly. He had the Immortal Sect Technique "Scripture of Meditation" protecting him, with an incredibly sharp intuition, and that kind of feeling was similar to some techniques in his inherited memories, so there was no mistake.

Someone was watching him? What person? Could there be people in Earth Martial City who grasp that mysterious power!?

"Are you sure!?" Upon hearing this, Long Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he said.

"What do you know?" Chen Fei asked, frowning.

"The Eternal Temple has a mirror, very peculiar, which can scan any target within a thousand miles." Long Yi, as a disciple of the Great Heaven Rank, with strong connections, naturally knows the Eternal Temple possesses this treasure! But why, without grievances, would the Eternal Temple take action against Chen Fei? Isn't that thing in the hands of the Elderly Ancestor!?

"It's really… very strange, the Eternal Temple seems to have no enmity with me, right?" Elder Xiao murmured softly, since someone is spying on him, they must be wanting to deal with him, if nothing unexpected, it should be those people from the Lan Family.

Lan Family? Chen Fei gently tapped on the stone cliff, if they attack with full force, this time he might be in trouble, and for some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

"Brother Chen, why don't you return to Qi Family Fort with me?" Seeing Chen Fei's unusual expression, Long Yi suggested, since their Qi Family Fort is one of the four major top forces of Earth Martial City, with experts gathered like clouds, even if the Eternal Temple joins in, they still wouldn't be afraid.

The opponent is unlikely to come to their base and make trouble.

Chen Fei was silent, then shook his head, saying: "No, forget it, even if I hide in your Qi Family Fort now, they want to deal with me, entering the tomb later would be the same. What's coming can't be avoided."

"Then what to do?" Long Yi was somewhat stunned, and said.

"Since they want to play, let's play with them." Chen Fei smiled, his dark eyes resembling porcelain were filled with a faint coldness, just right, over the past two days, his methods had made some breakthrough, if a fight indeed breaks out, he wouldn't be afraid of anything.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei spoke again, saying: "Alright, you should leave first, staying longer might even bring you danger."

Long Yi's complexion changed a bit, saying: "Okay then, hide for now, I will return and report to my master, have him send people immediately."

He understood clearly that his power differed too much from Chen Fei, far too vastly, especially since even the Eternal Temple was involved this time, staying just brings burdens. Any Minor Heavenly Position Elder could easily take his life.

Thus he could only leave, he couldn't stay.

After speaking, his body soared into the sky, rushing into the clouds, rapidly disappearing.

"Lan Family, Eternal Temple, and Jiang Wanli, that hypocrite… the people coming this time will at least be above Minor Heavenly Position, right? Wonder how many, quite a troublesome lot indeed."

Seeing Long Yi leave, Chen Fei shook his head, murmuring to himself, saying: "But fortunately, my Formation cultivation level has broken through, reaching the Ninth Heavenly Layer Human Formation, along with the preparations made earlier on Earth still unused, should at least have the power to fight back, right?"
