Wang Feng and Yang Kai were currently inside a cell. Both sat cross-legged while facing each other, their backs against the cell walls.
But from their faces and carefree expressions, no one would believe them to be locked in a cell. They looked like they were chilling in their bedrooms!
"So, what's the deal with that guy?", Yang Kai suddenly asked Wang Feng while tilting his head on his palm, his elbow placed on his leg.
Wang Feng said plainly, "oh, Xie Hong Chen? ... He's just a jealous, spineless and coward son of a b*tch. Thinks he's above other people. Disdaining and bullying those weaker than him, while maintaining a dog licking persona in front of those stronger than him."
Wang Feng remembered just how bad Xie Hong Chen's character was in the original timeline and felt disgusted with him. He looked Yang Kai in the eye and said, "He's a slimy snake that won't hesitate to attack those kind to him, so be careful when you interact with him."
Yang Kai raised an eyebrow at him, confused a little about how he knew that guy so much. But he just nodded, filing the information into his brain.
Wang Feng then shook his head, feeling the slightly serious atmosphere in the cell, he looked at Yang Kai and said, "So, how are things going with that little stalker of yours?"
Yang Kai groaned when he heard 'little stalker', thought Wang Feng saw a small curl at the corner of his lips, causing him to grin, "*whistle* damn, what? smitten, already?"
Yang Kai give him a deadpanned look as if saying 'really b*tch..'. Wang Feng laughed as he saw this. Yang Kai just sighed before saying with a smirk, "well, let's just say that I am too irresistible for woman."
Wang Feng suddenly stopped laughing and said with a plain, even look, "say that when you can hide your Primordial Yang Aura properly."
Yang Kai went wide eyed hearing this and sprung up with a slightly embarrassed face, "the h*ck man!? How can you even sense that!?", Wang Feng sneered at him and said coolly, "what? That's basic stuff..."
But in fact, it wasn't. Wang Feng could only sense it because of his new and enhanced sensing of Yang Energy that the Pure Yang Physique has brought him.
Yang Kai looked at him speechlessly, 'how is that basic!?', he shouted in his mind before he just sighed and sat back down. He looked at Wang Feng with sparkles in his eyes, "*humph* you're one to talk! How are things going with that Senior Sister Xia of yours~"
Wang Feng instantly regreted bringing up these questions as his hand twitched to facepalm himself, but he restrained from doing that in front of this smug b*stard. He looked at Yang Kai before he frustratingly closed his eyes to meditate.
Yang Kai saw this and grinned victoriously before he too closed his eyes and started meditating.
....
Su Mu's Lackey, Li Yun Tian, sprinted through the Black Wind Market as if his life depended on it. He passed through the crowd of people with all his strength to complete his purpose as soon as possible.
After rushing here while knocking into a few people because of his haste, he finally reached the center of the market area. He desperately jumped up the stairs of the sect's pavilion here.
He stopped at the door and knocked politely, but his somewhat hurried knocks still held his restlessness. "Senior Sister Su!"
Hearing the hurried knocks and the restless tone of the disciple outside. Su Yan who was inside, cultivating, opened her cold blue eyes with worry, "Yes?"
The disciples heard the cold voice and his eyes lit up before he told her about the duel between Su Mu and Wei Zhuang. Su Yan heard this and had a serious look on her face, 'so, they started taking action?'
Su Yan's eyes shined with ruthless and angered glint. She could already guess what would have happened from the disciple's urgent tone.
She got up and opened the door, coming face to face with the disciple and asked him in a dead serious voice, "what happened..."
.....
It had been an hour since the two were brought into the cell as the two had stopped meditating for a few minutes now. Yang Kai leaned his head back against the cell's wall.
He suddenly asked Wang Feng, "So how did you make the Hammer appear out of thin air and changed it with the ore?", Wang Feng, who was sitting in the same position smirked and said, "what? Do you think I'll tell you? You can't ask someone their tricks you know."
Wang Feng had no intention of hiding it nor telling him the whole truth. He had realized that he had made an idiotic move by manifesting the hammer from his inventory and then, he even changed it into a piece of Earth Grade Ore in front of a crowd.
But he knew that he can't be suspected as no one in the small world had an idea of space artifacts, much less an ability like his inventory which didn't even leave a slightest space fluctuation when placing or taking things out.
Another thing that he did was hint at Su Mu and Yang Kai about him being the one who had done that by giving them instructions throughout the incident. So there was no way he could just say 'it wasn't me.'
The only comfort for him was the trust he had in their character and the trust and loyalty the two had for him. This made him sure that they wouldn't tell others about it.
And even if they, against all odds did that, he already had a coverup.
The two then quietened down again for a few seconds before Wang Feng sighed and said, "when do you think our 'special treatment' will be here? I'm bored!"
Yang Kai laughed as he looked at him. But before he could speak, the two heard footsteps approaching the cell, "speak of the devil~", Yang Kai said with a grin.
Wang Feng chuckled as he stood up and looked towards the dark area from where the footsteps were coming. The two looked at the area and saw two disciples, both at Qi Transformation Realm, approaching the cell.
"Do you think I have my warm welcome as well?", Yang Kai asked Wang Feng who looked at the disciples who stopped at the cell bars.
"Who among you is Wang Feng!?", one of the disciples said as he looked at the two. Yang Kai heard this and lost interest, "well, have fun~", he said as he laid back down while Wang Feng grinned at him before looking at the disciples, "I am."
The disciples raised an eyebrow at the strange talk of the two and said coldly, "follow us... The chief wants to question you."
The disciples opened the bars and let him out before leading him towards the depth of the Disciplinary Hall. Wang Feng remained quiet and observed the disciples who seemed to be occasionally looking at him.
As they reached outside a door the two disciples placed themselves on either side of Wang Feng. One of the disciples stepped forward to open the door while the other watched Wang Feng.
Just as the disciple was opening the door, Wang Feng suddenly whistled, "*whistle* d*mn, Two Peak and three other Qi Transformation Realm, what a grand treatment~"
The disciples froze and swiftly turned to him with glowing palms to attack him.
....
Inside the room, three people waited patiently, "why do you think Senior Brother Xie told us all to deal with a single Peak Initial Element Realm Cultivator?", one of the Peak Qi Transformation Realm Cultivator said while leaning against the wall.
The other one with the same cultivation spoke, "I don't know? Probably to make quick work of him... Besides, I heard that he can fight evenly with those at 3rd Stage Qi Transformation Realm."
The first disciple, along with the third disciple, looked at the one that had just spoken, "what!? really, Senior Brother?", the third disciple, who was at the 6th Stage Qi Transformation Realm asked with surprise.
Suddenly, they heard a slight creak of the door before a boom sounded, causing the door to be shattered and someone to smash into the wall of the room.
"Heh, looks like you were joking, Brother Zhou. There's no....", the first disciple at the Peak Qi Transformation Realm spoke as he waved his hand to dispell the smoke in front of him.
But he suddenly stopped and went wide eyed as he saw the person who had been smashed into the wall, "Junior Brother Tong!?"
"Hmm, what a waste of my excitement. These two can't even take a single hit.", the three disciples suddenly turned their heads towards the door with serious expressions when they heard the voice that didn't belong to any of their group.
As they turned, they saw as Wang Feng entered the room, throwing the struggling body of the second disciple that had went to fetch him. "You three won't disappoint me, right?"
The three instantly sprang into action. One used a movement technique to appear behind Wang Feng, one appeared in front of him, while the third jumped up.
Wang Feng saw this and pumped his Qi.
He quickly turned sideways, raising his right hand to block a punch to the face from the disciple behind him. While his other hand turned into a palm as he used Vacuum Palm to block and force away the leg of the disciple attacking him from above.
At the same time, the disciple that was attacking him from the front took advantage of this moment to attack using his fist.
Wang Feng's hand struck the leg of the disciples who attacked form above, making the disciple fly back with a backflip in the air, a pained expression on his face. He then swiftly swung the palm down in a chopping motion to attack the disciple from the front.
He successfully stopped that attack, while his right hand connected with the disciple's fist behind him, allowly Wang Feng to grab onto it.
Unfortunately for Wang Feng, the disciple didn't stand still when his fist got held by his opponent and instead raised his right leg, hitting Wang Feng in the stomach with all his strength, making his back arc a bit and sending him skidding back a few steps.
Wang Feng looked at the three disciples in front of him with serious eyes now. Previously, he had taken them lightly, but now it seems that he would have to take them seriously if we doesn't want to be beaten.
The disciples didn't give him time as they leaped at him again with their full strengths, having understood Wang Feng's power in that brief exchange.
Wang Feng too sprung forward now. He used his Shadow Phantom Steps and rushed towards the group. He raised his right leg, sweeping it at the nearest disciple, who widened his eyes and bended his waist to dodge.
But although he had dodged the right leg, he was greeted by a left leg to the face and Wang Feng gave a spin kick while clinching his fist to counter the fist of the second disciple.
The two skidded back a few step, but Wang Feng quickly jumped, blocking a low sweep from the third disciple. But by dodging this, he was greeted by the fist of the second disciple, which he took to the chest.
He grunted and did a back flip, stomping his feet on the ground the moment it connected with it, propelling him to the side to avoid the first disciple's attack and brought his hands together before bringing it down like a hammer of the leg of the second disciple, who had attempted to kick him, making the disciple grunt and taking back his half-circle kick.
'this is getting messy.', Wang Feng thought. But strangely... He had a grin on his face the entire time.
