Not all families enter through the same door; he seemed to understand why his senior sister entrusted him to Yu Ying.
She is a crazy woman, and his senior sister was a bit crazy too; someone naturally ignored himself when being hypocritical, but, in the eyes of others, Jiang Feng was also quite mad.
Indeed, they were like family.
"It’s not necessary to go to this extent; these siblings don’t seem like bad people. It was a bit reckless of me to make a move before. Weren’t you just putting on that act to scare them off? Otherwise, given your temperament, you would have acted earlier."
Supporting Yu Ying, he brought her to a broken tree stump and with a swing of his sword, he flattened it, making a seat for his senior sister who was significantly older than him.
This remark made Yu Ying smile lightly, actually, she had not expected this seemingly naive senior brother to be so sharp, detecting her intentions with just a touch.
But still... a bit too young.
"Do you think I’m merely bluffing."
Mouth agape, you’re actually thinking about killing them after all this?
The beautiful woman simply mustered her energy, and even though she was extremely weak now, her strong personality remained unchanged. Raising her hand, she vigorously rubbed her temples, even stowing her pipa back into the Qiankun Bag.
It’s not that she trusted Jiang Feng that much, but...
What threat could someone at the Qi Refinement Realm pose?
Let’s not mention her own weakened body and damaged spirit; even bedridden, killing a Qi Refinement practitioner would just involve moving her lips. Additionally, albeit not trusting Jiang Feng, she deeply trusted her own Master Liu.
Master Liu’s judgment couldn’t be incorrect.
"Do you know who those two are?"
Honestly shaking his head, from the conversation just now, their surname seemed to be Cen, a surname he was somewhat familiar with, having heard it during a trip to the ethnic minorities in the south in his previous life.
Then he also heard Yu Ying address that person as Miss.
"The Cen Family is a major clan among the numerous Witch Clans of the Southern Border, with a long heritage and formidable strength. Although incomparable to the Purple Cloud Palace, in Central Plains, they are at least on par with the Taiyi and Taixu brothers."
"Especially the current Clan Leader, Cen Dudi, whose cultivation has reached the pinnacle, and whose Gu Technique is extremely refined, penetrating every defense."
"The clan leader had a daughter in his later years, a sole heiress of the bloodline, whose name is Cen Yueyue."
Subconsciously looking towards Jiang Feng, she noticed his expression suddenly became pensive upon hearing "Taiyi" and "Taixu", unsure of what caused this, but she continued speaking.
"This heiress, Cen Yueyue, inherited her parents’ excellent talents and mastered Gu Technique very well, achieving Core Formation at a young age."
Disregarding that he found out during the fight that this woman had already achieved Core Formation, Jiang Feng couldn’t help asking.
"How young? Surely not another old witch?"
The words "old witch" silenced Yu Ying for a few seconds.
She discovered that her senior brother’s combat strength was all in his words.
The usage of the word "also" was very adept.
"...If I remember correctly, she’s eighteen this year; she achieved Solidifying Pill last year."
Inhaling sharply. For original chapters go to novel★fire.net
He was at a loss for words to describe his shock; eighteen... no, seventeen, at Core Formation Stage? Turns out she was almost half an Immortal at this age?
"Hmm hmm, senior brother, feeling some pressure, are you?"
Even though Yu Ying was feeling uncomfortable now, she would not miss a chance for a Ying Yang River Maple quip. However, she mentioned these matters to set the stage for what was coming.
"These two individuals both hold top talents, and in the future could even become leaders of the Southern Border. But these two youngsters really have guts, one achieved Core Formation, and the other has not even Solidified Pill, yet they dare venture into my Fengzhou territory."
"Senior brother, what do you think if such an opportunity arises... should we eliminate these two immediately to avoid future troubles, or leave them be to become greater threats?"
"In a few years, the Jiuzhou Martial Arts Tournament will be held, and by then the Southern Border will surely send representatives. Master Liu must have mentioned this to you."
"Don’t tell me senior brother really thinks this is simply a martial arts exchange to share insights?"
With his nature, he naturally wouldn’t say something like needing to eliminate any genius type of person just out of envy before they grow further; isn’t this akin to what Evil Cultivators would do?
But what should he do if it concerns the collective interest?
Back in Qingshui County, he had already understood the cultivation system of this world; the entire continent was like a vast cake, some places rich in resources, some poor, countless people all vying for a bigger share of this cake, hoping to claim more.
But the cultivation resources available across the entire continent were finite.
Whenever someone took an extra bite, it consequently meant someone else got less. Whether it be internal sect contests or external sparring, both were methods of demonstrating martial prowess to allocate more resources.
Otherwise, if they just fought in dim and dark battles, when would it end? Moreover, no power could withstand such heavy losses; thus, the best route was to settle the resource distribution issues peacefully through martial contests.
Somewhat like the Olympics from his previous life, which in ancient times served as a way for nations to demonstrate the strength of their soldiers and improve their international standing.
"How confident are you?"
Stretching out a hand.
The sky had darkened, and although both were cultivators, accustomed to the hardships of the outdoors, Yu Ying’s current physical state was extremely poor. If they continued to stay in this desolate wilderness, once they encountered her enemies or others following her...
