Chapter 964: Chapter 964: A Good Place to Kill
Li Feng raised his eyes to look at Hua Jiufeng opposite him. Old Hua was indeed candid, bringing up such secrets as well.
This made Li Feng think of the draw for the promotion match. There must have been some manipulation behind the scenes; otherwise, it’s too much of a coincidence that nearly all the Xu Family members ended up in one group.
"Old Hua, why are you telling me this?"
Hua Jiufeng looked at Li Feng.
"Because you are also a promising talent, and you have no connections to Cultivation families. Now that you’ve made the promotion list and have the qualifications to enter the Martial Arts Tournament finals, it means you’ve already got one foot in the gate of the High Martial World."
"Moreover, with your move against the Xu family in Jingmen, you’re bound to have angered them, so I felt it necessary to warn you."
"If possible, until the national Martial Arts Tournament, you are best to stay with us to avoid any mishaps."
Li Feng made a sound of acknowledgment: "I roughly understand Old Hua’s meaning. In the High Martial World, there should be several factions, and Old Hua must belong to one of them, right?"
Hua Jiufeng smiled and nodded.
"You are very smart."
"Then, is Old Hua trying to recruit me? I wonder if Old Hua’s Hua Family is a Cultivation family or a spokesperson for the sect in the High Martial World in the secular world?"
"Li Feng, don’t you think you’re asking a bit much?"
Huang Shuyao glanced at Li Feng, snorting softly with her delicate nose.
"It’s alright."
Hua Jiufeng waved his hand, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, then slowly spoke.
"The High Martial World can be divided into the Top Three Sects, the Middle Nine Gates, and the Lower Hundred Families."
"The Top Three Sects are Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism."
"The Middle Nine Gates comprise the Nine Cultivation sects."
"The Lower Hundred Families set up dojos among the Hundred Schools of Thought."
"You only need to be aware of the Top Three Sects. Once you’re in the High Martial World, you’ll naturally learn what you need to know. Currently, the conflicts are mainly between the Nine Cultivation sects and the Hundred Families, both openly and behind the scenes."
"Our Hua Family is one of the Hundred Families, inherited from Mo Wu."
"As for the Xu Family in Jingmen, they belong to the Heavenly Dao Sect, one of the Nine Great Sects."
"That’s all you need to know. The High Martial World should not interfere with the secular world, and targeting you doesn’t require using these backgrounds since the Xu Family itself already wields significant power."
"Those who clashed with you before were merely some Death Soldiers from the Xu Family’s Dark Hall."
"And the Xu Family has many such Death Soldiers."
"This time, you disrupted the Xu Family’s plans. Given their nature, they won’t let it slide, so I’m worried they might make a move against you soon."
Li Feng listened, then curled his lips into a smile, looking at Hua Jiufeng.
"Old Hua, my grudge with the Xu Family didn’t just start now, and they targeted me long before this, so I thank you for your kindness and warning."
"As for protection, there’s no need. I will be careful."
Li Feng picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
"Hmm, the tea is not bad."
"Old Hua, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."
Li Feng put down the teacup directly and bid farewell.
"You this person...!"
Huang Shuyao looked at Li Feng, who didn’t appreciate the kindness, but Hua Jiufeng stopped her: "Wushuang, see him out."
"Yes, Master."
Hua Wushuang stood up.
"Master, Li Feng doesn’t know good from bad. You didn’t have to remind him." Huang Shuyao said angrily.
Hua Jiufeng raised his hand and picked up the teacup: "You girl, why do you get so worked up talking about Li Feng?"
"I’ve said all that I should. The choice is naturally his to make, and Li Feng is a smart person. I said so much, yet he didn’t hesitate, which shows that he already knew that the Xu Family would make a move against him."
"Hmm?"
Huang Shuyao looked at her master Hua Jiufeng in surprise.
"Master, you mean he knows?"
Hua Jiufeng smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think he took the initiative? He already knew that Zi Wu and Yin Hu were all people of the Xu Family."
"So he didn’t hold back at all, and those four, though still alive, I think they’re done for."
"Oh?"
"Li Feng."
"Hmm?"
Li Feng turned his head to look at Hua Wushuang. Hua Wushuang looked at Li Feng and said, "You should take to heart what my master said today."
"Others on the list might try to win you over, but you’ve offended the Xu Family so deeply, it’s unlikely they’ll try to recruit you."
"Just be careful."
Hua Wushuang didn’t say more. They’re all adults, saying too much becomes nagging.
"Hmm, I understand."
Li Feng waved goodbye to Hua Wushuang, called a cab, and left, while digesting what Hua Jiufeng had said.
The Top Three Sects, the Middle Nine Gates, and the Lower Hundred Families.
His grandfather was called the Medical Immortal, possibly from the Medical Family of the Lower Hundred Families, but Li Feng didn’t know many specifics, and it wasn’t appropriate to ask Hua Jiufeng too much.
The High Martial World, huh?
Li Feng mused to himself.
The Xu Family in Jingmen is indeed a problem. Perhaps it’s time to spare some effort to deal with them. Taking hits passively is not in Li Feng’s character.
Just as he was thinking,
Li Feng suddenly raised his eyes to look at the taxi driver.
"Where do you plan to take me?"
"Hmm, aren’t I taking you to the hotel?"
The taxi driver replied calmly.
Li Feng curled his lips into a sneer: "Every single street in Huacheng I can walk blindfolded, and you’re headed the wrong way."
"Moreover, since I got in the car, you’ve been glancing at me through the rearview mirror several times."
The taxi driver had sweat beads on his hands but continued to banter with Li Feng: "Sir, what are you saying? I admit I took a longer route, but that’s only because there was a traffic accident on the previous one. Let’s just say I’ll discount you ten bucks."
"No need for such trouble, just take me where you intended to."
Li Feng said.
Just as Hua Jiufeng had warned him moments ago, the Xu Family came after him without any delay.
Li Feng intended to see who the Xu Family had sent to kill him this time.
The taxi driver instinctively glanced at the rearview mirror again, only to find Li Feng looking at him with a sneer.
How did this guy notice him? It wasn’t the first time he had pretended to be a taxi driver, and he had never made a mistake before.
But since he had been seen through, the taxi driver didn’t bother hiding further and drove directly to the riverside.
The car stopped, and Xu Family’s Dark Hall members, who had been waiting here, stood on an open ground, eyes scanning the taxi.
"Why is there no movement?"
Someone murmured, and at that moment, the back door swung open, Li Feng stepped out, turning to look across.
"They did pick a good spot."
Li Feng glanced around; this was a patch of wasteland under a bridge, turned into a shabby recycling yard, nearly devoid of people, and surveillance cameras were certainly not present.
This indeed was a good place for murder.
