Chapter 32: The Audacity That You Lack, My Sect Possesses!
Translator: Krukist
Damn, what a miscalculation!
Wang Feng's face gradually darkened; he, the master of the Divine Immortal Sect, couldn't even afford a single room, giving off the impression of a penniless fool from the very start!
"Hmm? System, what about the wealth from killing Lin Yunyi, Marquis Changlin, and others?"
At that moment, Wang Feng suddenly remembered and asked internally.
Previously, he hadn't paid attention because he considered the sect's value as his most important asset, but now facing this situation, he realized the currency of this world was equally indispensable.
"Ding, it has been deposited into the host's system space. The host can check it himself!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng quickly checked the system space, and his joy knew no bounds as he found a mountain of lower-grade Profound Stones, various weapons and treasures, different grades of pills, and even many medium-grade Profound Stones.
Wang Feng's expression immediately brightened, his mood shifting from gloom to joy. With money in hand, there was no need for panic!
"Beauty, this young master can afford to book a room for you!"
Just as Wang Feng was about to generously book seven rooms, a frivolous laugh came, making Wang Feng narrow his eyes as he looked towards the source of the voice.
The many cultivators in the hall also turned to look, their eyes flashing with slight anger. While they were also attracted to the Shadow Empress, they wouldn't dare to flirt with her so blatantly. Who was this newcomer, daring to be so disrespectful?
Under everyone's gaze, a handsome youth in luxurious robes, fan in hand, descended from the second floor of the pavilion.
"Hiss! It's him?"
"The Young Master of the Four Directions Palace, Shao Changfeng!"
"This is bad; with him here, it'll be hard for the beauty to escape his clutches!"
"Indeed, as the Young Master of the top-tier Four Directions Palace, Shao Changfeng's status is even higher than most prodigies from other major sects; who would dare to provoke him? His notorious lust is known to everyone."
"The scariest part is, Shao Changfeng indulges in pleasure daily, yet his cultivation hasn't slackened; he's now a Sovereign realm expert, one of the top prodigies."
"There are rumors that Shao Changfeng practices the evil art of absorbing yin to nourish yang, which allows him to enjoy himself while cultivating rapidly, though this rumor still lacks solid proof."
Seeing the youth's face, the cultivators' expressions changed to shock as they whispered among themselves, their tones filled with fear towards the youth.
Shao Changfeng, after descending the stairs, slowly walked towards Zhu Yuyan, his eyes burning with desire, staring at her intently as if he wanted to devour her on the spot. In his eyes, there was only Zhu Yuyan; no one else could exist.
At this moment, Shao Changfeng's heart was in turmoil; he prided himself on being able to navigate through countless beauties without attachment, but in front of the Shadow Empress, he fell.
Seeing Shao Changfeng approach, Wang Feng wore a half-smiling expression and asked lightly, "Oh? This gentleman is willing to pay seven thousand lower-grade Profound Stones for us?"
"You're not worthy! Besides the beauty, no one can make me, Shao Changfeng, willingly help!" Hearing Wang Feng's words, Shao Changfeng glared at him, impatiently rebuked, and then immediately returned his gaze to the Shadow Empress, as if even looking at Wang Feng was an insult to his eyes.
The people present were not surprised by Shao Changfeng's words; this famous Young Master of the Four Directions Palace didn't bother with anyone but beauties.
For a moment, these cultivators looked at Wang Feng with mockery, curious to see if he could protect the beauty. In their estimation, Wang Feng would likely have to submit to Shao Changfeng; after all, the title "Young Master of the Four Directions Palace" represented the pinnacle of power in the Radiant Sun Empire.
"Thought there was a sucker to fleece, turns out he's just another poor bastard!" Shao Changfeng's rebuke darkened Wang Feng's face, who then looked at Shao Changfeng with a sneer.
Wang Feng's mocking laughter echoed clearly in the hall, making the cultivators look at him in disbelief; mocking the Young Master of the Four Directions Palace, was he tired of living?
"If this weren't the Qin Yun Pavilion, you'd be dead by now! But you better stay here forever; once you step out, you're dead!"
Shao Changfeng squinted his eyes, his gaze leaving the Shadow Empress for the first time to look at Wang Feng, his voice cold, the killing intent in his words undisguised, chilling the entire hall.
Shao Changfeng's killing intent made many in the hall tremble, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Wang Feng. Offending the Young Master of the Four Directions Palace in the Radiant Sun Empire meant death for anyone but the empire's high echelons or major sect disciples.
"You're not doing it right. With your status, you should say: 'Offending this young master, no one under heaven can save you!'" Shao Changfeng's threat didn't scare Wang Feng; instead, he laughed, his expression utterly relaxed, showing no regard for Shao Changfeng.
Wang Feng had heard the whispers of the cultivators; thus, he learned of Shao Changfeng's identity but didn't care. He didn't even regard the Emperor of the Radiant Sun Empire, let alone this Shao Changfeng. Moreover, he was about to show off his wealth when Shao Changfeng rudely interrupted, constantly ogling the Shadow Empress. So what if he was poor? Did being poor mean he couldn't have a beautiful companion? Besides, was he even poor?
From start to finish, Shao Changfeng had been arrogant and coveted the Shadow Empress unabashedly. Could Wang Feng tolerate this?
He must make him cry in pain!
"Is he mad?"
"He must be crazy to speak such nonsense!"
"Ridiculous, this guy must have come from some remote corner!"
"Indeed, the Qin Yun Pavilion spans the three great empires, with unfathomable power; who would dare make a move here?"
"As long as you have enough wealth to stay in the Qin Yun Pavilion forever, even offending the imperial family would leave you unscathed!"
Hearing Wang Feng's words, the cultivators weren't shocked; instead, they looked at him as if he were already dead. In their view, Wang Feng was doomed; provoking Shao Changfeng like this, he would surely die once he stepped out of the Qin Yun Pavilion.
"A frog in a well, laughably overestimating yourself!" Shao Changfeng didn't get angry; he just glanced at Wang Feng coldly and sneered.
Though he was the Young Master of the Four Directions Palace, he didn't dare to act within the Qin Yun Pavilion. Even the three great empires were wary of the Qin Yun Pavilion, let alone their sects.
One could say that within the territories of the three great empires, the Qin Yun Pavilion was the only entity that dared to ignore the imperial families, fortunately only dealing in inns and having no interest in the political affairs of the empires, otherwise, the three empires would have sleepless nights.
"You don't dare to act in the Qin Yun Pavilion?" Listening to the discussions around him, Wang Feng remained unmoved, looking at Shao Changfeng with a half-smile.
Hearing this, Shao Changfeng shook his head, already losing interest in conversing with Wang Feng. Never had he thought he would want to kill someone so badly, especially a frog in a well like this ant!
"You dare not, but this sect dares!"
Just as Shao Changfeng turned to leave, a cold shout echoed, followed by a terrifying surge of energy from behind, making his face change drastically.
However, he couldn't even muster his strength to counter that wave of energy. Struck by it, blood spurted from his mouth, his face turned ashen, and he was sent flying!
Bang!
The sound of the impact resounded throughout the hall of the Qin Yun Pavilion, Shao Changfeng's body crashed into the wall, shaking the entire building, and the ground made of crystalline jade shattered into pieces.
Silence!
A deathly silence!
Wang Feng's sudden attack stunned everyone in the hall, even the powerful figures on the upper floors of the pavilion, who were paying attention, were shocked.
Everyone in the hall looked at Wang Feng in disbelief; he actually dared to attack in the Qin Yun Pavilion?
And Shao Changfeng was a Sovereign realm expert; even if caught off guard, he shouldn't have been unable to react, to be severely injured by a single strike. They had thought Wang Feng was just a low-level ant, but it turned out he was a hidden strong one.
To injure Shao Changfeng this badly with a sneak attack, one must at least be a Sovereign realm expert, and not just any Sovereign.
After all, despite his womanizing, Shao Changfeng's combat abilities and reflexes as a top prodigy were not to be underestimated.
Spit!
As the crowd was still in shock, a light sound brought them back to reality. They looked over to see Shao Changfeng coughing up blood, trembling as he stood up. Now, he looked miserable, his robes dyed red with blood, far from his earlier image of a noble young master.
At this moment, Shao Changfeng's eyes were fixed on Wang Feng, his body radiating overwhelming rage. He couldn't remember the last time he was injured, let alone being sneak-attacked and severely hurt by a frog in a well.
He must die!
He must die!
Shao Changfeng roared internally.
"Outrageous!"
A shout of anger suddenly echoed through the hall, followed by several figures appearing beside Shao Changfeng. Leading them was a burly middle-aged man, his muscles like cast iron, exuding explosive power at a glance.
"Daring to harm the Young Master of the Four Directions Palace, you're dead for sure!" The middle-aged man stared at Wang Feng with eyes full of killing intent, his aura lowering the temperature of the entire hall to freezing point. The overwhelming pressure of the Profound Sovereign realm fell upon everyone like a mountain, making it hard for them to breathe!
At this moment, the cultivators in the hall didn't dare to breathe, looking at the middle-aged man in horror. They thought this incident would be just a farce, but it escalated into such a dramatic turn, even drawing out a Profound Sovereign realm expert!
