Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy leader of Mountainshade Black Market. He’s the right-hand man of the Mountainshade Black Market’s Leader. His strength is not inferior to the two Guardians of our Mystical Sky Mansion!”

Feng Bu Yi did not tone down his voice, and it spread through the entire Mystical Sky Mansion. Anyone who was not in closed-door cultivation clearly heard his voice.

“He came to look for Ling Tian?”

“It seems like Ling Tian’s innate talent has even attracted the Mountainshade Black Market… Even the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market, Feng Bu Yi, personally came to see him.”

“Ling Tian hasn’t acknowledged anyone in the Mystical Sky Mansion as his master. If Feng Bu Yi manages to recruit him, it’ll be a huge loss to our Mystical Sky Mansion!”

“I heard that once Ling Tian breaks through to the Eminent Saint Stage, he plans to leave for the Upper Province… He’s currently at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. He’s just a step away from breaking through to the Eminent Saint Stage. Perhaps, it was due to this, Lord Mansion Master who originally planned to accept him as his direct disciple dismissed the idea.”

“Yes. With Ling Tian’s innate talent, he’ll definitely break through to the Eminent Saint Stage within one or two years… He won’t be staying for long in our Mystical Sky Mansion.”

“I’m afraid Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market, has come for naught. If I were Ling Tian, I definitely wouldn’t join the Mountainshade Black Market since it won’t be long before I’d leave for the Upper Province. There’s no point in switching places.”

The group of Mystical Sky Mansion disciples discussed among themselves. No one thought Feng Bu Yi would be able to persuade Duan Ling Tian to join the Mountainshade Black Market.

The appearance of Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market, naturally, alarmed the Mystical Sky Mansion’s high ranking officials.

Apart from the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, Meng Qing, the other Vice Mansion Masters of the Mystical Sky Mansion who had just left for their own residences turned around and headed in the direction of the voice.

When Meng Qing was not around, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s Vice Mansion Masters was naturally led by Zhu Lu Qi, the Palace Master of Heaven Palace. He stood close to Feng Bu Yi and greeted him coldly, “Deputy Leader Feng.”

Feng Bu Yi had an average build and an ordinary appearance. He would not be identifiable in a crowd. He was dressed completely in black. His grey hair fluttered in the wind like writhing snakes, giving off a creepy vibe.

“Humph!”

When Feng Bu Yi heard Zhu Lu Qi’s greeting, he merely snorted coldly. He did not even bother to look at Zhu Lu Qi in the eye. “I came to the Mystical Sky Mansion for Little Brother Ling Tian… People who are irrelevant to this matter should stop talking!”

Feng Bu Yi’s rudeness caused Zhu Lu Qi’s face to turn red from anger as he spat out, “You! How outrageous!”

“Outrageous?” Feng Bu Yi sneered when he heard Zhu Lu Qi’s words. Subsequently, he vanished from his spot although it did not seem like he made any movement at all.

When the Mystical Sky Mansion’s high-ranking officials, including Zhu Lu Qi, saw this, their expressions changed drastically.

Pa!

At this moment, the crisp sound of a slap resonated in the air. At some point, Feng Bu Yi had appeared in front of Zhu Lu Qi and had slapped him.

At this moment, Feng Bu Yi said in his grating voice, “Who are you to be talking to me in this manner?”

The Palace Master of Mystical Sky Mansion’s Heaven Palace, the leader of the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Vice Mansion Masters, was publicly slapped. It was only natural that Zhu Lu Qi was infuriated. He struck at lightning speed. A vast energy transformed into a palm and enveloped Feng Bu Yi who stood before him.

“What a futile effort!” Faced with Zhu Lu Qi’s attack, Feng Bu Yi’s expression remained unchanged. His tone was filled with disdain as he pushed his palm out against Zhu Lu Qi’s palm.

Boom!

At this instant, both palms collided with each other. The collision caused an earth-shattering explosion. The clouds in the sky scattered and the sky became clear.

For a moment, those people who were hidden by the clouds appeared before the group of Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples standing below.

After Zhu Lu Qi forcefully resisted the force of the palm, his expression changed drastically as his body trembled before he was sent flying. He only managed to come to a halt after flying about 100 meters away.

On the contrary, Feng Bu Yi stood unmoving in the same position.

“He’s actually so strong!” Zhu Lu Qi whose internal organs suffered heavy injuries felt blood rising in his throat. However, he resisted the urge to throw up blood. His pride did not allow him to do so in front of all these people.

The other Mystical Sky Mansion’s Vice Mansion Masters could not help the chills that ran up their spines when they saw their leader in this predicament.

They were even weaker than Zhu Lu Qi. If Zhu Lu Qi could not even withstand one strike from Feng Bu Yi, they would fare even worse!

Therefore, although they were furious when they saw Zhu Lu Qi was injured, they did not dare to show it.

As the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market Deputy Leader, Feng Bu Yi, was unpredictable. There was no saying what he would do. For this reason, they were unwilling to provoke him. Who knew if they would end up like Zhu Lu Qi.

“In your Mystical Sky Mansion, only the Mansion Master and the two old farts’ strength is acceptable. To put it crudely, apart from the three of them, I, Feng Bu Yi, really don’t care for any of you!”

Feng Bu Yi glanced at Zhu Lu Qi and the others in disdain as he said coldly, “Alright, I’m not here to fight with all of you…Go summon Ling Tian, that prodigy of yours. I need to speak to him!” When Feng Bu Yi spoke, it sounded like he was giving an order to Zhu Lu Qi and the others.

Apart from Zhu Lu Qi who was ignoring him, the other Mystical Sky Mansion’s Vice Mansion Masters stared at each other, and no one said anything for a long time.

“What? No one’s willing to do me a favor?” When Feng Bu Yi saw this, his eyes gleamed coldly. It caused the expressions of several Mystical Sky Mansion’s Vice Mansion Masters to change as they trembled.

“Save the hassle. I’m here.” When the atmosphere was so tensed it felt as though a battle would erupt at any time, a voice sounded. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian who was flying toward them. Gu Li and Wang Fei Xuan were next to him as well.

“Master, are you alright?” Wang Fei Xuan immediately went to Zhu Lu Qi’s side, showing concern.

“It’s alright.” Zhu Lu Qi shook his head when he looked at Feng Bu Yi again with killing intent in his eyes.

Feng Bu Yi dared to treat him like that in front of the direct disciple he had just accepted and humiliated him!

When one had lived until Zhu Lu Qi’s age, one valued pride more than anything else. Feng Bu Yi’s earlier action was harder to accept than if he had killed him.

From the beginning until the end, Feng Bu Yi had disregarded Zhu Lu Qi. He did not even bother to look him in the eyes.

Feng Bu Yi’s eyes gleamed as it shifted to Duan Ling Tian. He said condescendingly, “You’re the number one person among the Mystical Sky Mansion’s younger generation disciples, Ling Tian?”

“You flatter me. I’m not number one among the younger generation in the Mystical Sky Mansion. However, I am Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian responded calmly.

The strength Feng Bu Yi displayed earlier had surprised him. He did not expect the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market would be so strong.

However, he still maintained his composure even when faced with Feng Bu Yi. Although Feng Bu Yi was strong, he was nothing in front of Elder Huo who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Elder Huo had a place even in the Devata Realm.

Duan Ling Tian managed to maintain his composure even in front of Elder Huo, let alone a mere Deputy Leader from a top-tier force in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. From the beginning until the end, he did not feel pressured at all.

“Ling Tian, I’ll cut to the chase… I came on the order of the Leader of our Mountainshade Black Market, Lord Dugu. Lord Dugu wants to invite you to join our Mountainshade Black Market. If you prove your worth, he might even accept you as his direct disciple.” Feng Bu Yi was impressed by how Duan Ling Tian managed to maintain his composure even when faced with him.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard Feng Bu Yi’s words.

The Leader of Mountainshade Black Market’s Leader wanted him to join the Mountainshade Black Market?

Since when did he become so popular?

Zhu Lu Qi and the others were also dumbfounded.

After all the fuss, Feng Bu Yi was merely a messenger. The person who wanted to poach their Mystical Sky Mansion’s talent was actually the Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market!

Leader Dugu of the Mountainshade Black Market was widely acknowledged as one of the strongest people in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

The other strongest powerhouse in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng!

Most importantly, both Dugu and Duan Ru Feng were not considered old. They still had a lot of room for improvements in the future. They were only considered as passersby in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

With their innate talent, they would be leaving for the Upper Province sooner or later!

Although Leader Dugu of Mountainshade Black Market was young, Zhu Lu Qi and the others were extremely wary of him. Therefore, when Feng Bu Yi said he came on Dugu’s order, all of them remained quiet.

If they offended Leader Dugu, it would be easy for him to kill them even if they stayed in the Mystical Sky Mansion or under the protection of Mansion Master Meng Qing.

Leader Dugu was stronger than the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion. Apart from that, he also specialized in assassination. It would be as easy as killing ants if he wanted to kill them.

“Deputy Leader Feng, my apologies… Please pass my message to Lord Dugu. I’ve no interest in joining the Mountainshade Black Market because I won’t be staying in the Mystical Sky Mansion for long. Moreover, I already have a master! I’ll be leaving the Lower Province for the Upper Province in about two to three years’ time to search for my master in the Upper Province.” Duan Ling Tian graciously rejected Feng Bu Yi’s invitation.

It did not occur to Feng Bu Yi that the young man standing before him would directly reject him.

He did say that he came on the order of Leader Dugu of Mountainshade Black Market. Was this boy not afraid of being killed for angering the Mountainshade Black Market?

As for Duan Ling Tian’s subsequent statement, Feng Bu Yi did not doubt it because in the past two months, he had heard much news about Duan Ling Tian from the other Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples.

He had also heard Duan Ling Tian had a master who was a powerhouse from the Upper Province. Moreover, Li Feng who had shot to fame in the past was his senior brother.
