Volume 1 Chapter 70 Reaching an Agreement

  The negotiations between Yang Feng and Zhang Lu had reached an impasse, mainly because Zhang Lu was too greedy. On the one hand, he wanted to obtain the ultimate skill left by his ancestor Zhang Wuji, while on the other hand, he also wanted to take in what he thought was at least a First Heaven Great Completion realm cultivator Yang Feng for himself. However, he had a bit of a petty mind and was afraid that Yang Feng would give him fake ultimate skills, so he wanted to hold Yang Feng back until he verified the authenticity of the ultimate skills before deciding how to deal with Yang Feng.

  "Do you think you can escape from the combined efforts of me and Guangming You Shi?!" Zhang Lu Xiang said to Yang Feng, who still looked relaxed, his mouth mentioning Guangming You Shi was actually referring to his assistant Zhang Wu.

  "Whether or not is not just a matter of words, if you don't believe me, you can try it out, but then we will be completely at odds, I already have the Yang family as an enemy, I'm not afraid to add another enemy like the Ming Cult!" Yang Feng said to Zhang Lu.

  "Alright then, let's see if you can escape from the two of us! Bright Right Guardian, take action!" Zhang Lu shouted to Zhang Wu beside him and was about to make the first move against Yang Feng.

  At this moment, the huge glass window of the office suddenly made a crisp cracking sound and shattered, a white light rushed in, directly towards Yang Feng. This sudden change made Zhang Lu and Zhang Wu, who were about to take action, feel shocked in their hearts, while Yang Feng seemed to have no change in his expression at all.

  At the moment when the white light approached, Yang Feng simply raised his hand, and then saw that the white light landed on Yang Feng's hand. When it appeared in its true form, it was a pure white snake, which was coiled around Yang Feng's hand at this time, raising its small snake head to look at Yang Feng.

  This snake is of course Xiao Qing, although it's a bit inappropriate to call it Xiao Qing now. It seems to have recognized the name Xiao Qing, and Yang Feng wanted to change its name to Xiao Bai, but it didn't want to. During this period, Xiao Qing would only appear when Yang Feng was absorbing moon energy, and at other times, no one knew where it would run off to. Today, it was because Xiao Qing returned and found that Yang Feng wasn't absorbing moon energy or at home, so it followed Yang Feng's aura to find him here.

  Xiao Qing's arrival was somewhat unexpected for Yang Feng, but what he didn't expect wasn't that Xiao Qing could find him, but how it managed to reach the top of this skyscraper. After all, Xiao Qing's current cultivation level was only at the Sparrow stage and hadn't transformed into a Dragon yet, so it shouldn't be able to fly. But just now, Xiao Qing had clearly flown onto Yang Feng's hand in mid-air. Could it be that Xiao Qing had already reached the verge of transforming? This guess filled Yang Feng with excitement - Xiao Qing was one of his powerful allies, and if its strength increased, then his hopes for revenge would also grow stronger.

  "Xiao Qing, where have you gone to play again?! Why are you only back now?!" Yang Feng said with a smile, stroking Xiao Qing's head, but in his heart he let out a sigh of relief. Earlier when Zhang Lu and Zhang Wu were about to fight, he was actually still very tense. After all, with his strength, he had to deal with a Xiantian Dacheng realm cultivator and at least two Xiantian second-level experts, which made him feel uncertain. But now that Xiao Qing is back, it's different. Zhang Lu and Zhang Wu combined wouldn't be Xiao Qing's match.

  At this time, Zhang Lu was in a state of extreme shock. His shock also came from Xiao Qing. When he saw that the white light finally turned into a snake, his heart skipped a beat. From intelligence, he knew that Yang Feng and the people of Xijiang Miao Village had dealings with each other. The people of Xijiang Miao Village were most skilled in using Gu and poisoning, and they all used methods that were impossible to defend against.

  He thought of this and hastily circulated the true energy in his body, but this made him greatly shocked. Although he didn't discover any signs of poisoning on himself, all bodily functions were normal, however the originally normally circulating true energy had a slight stagnation, although it was only a little bit, if during a trial this would be fatal, instantly his complexion changed greatly, guessing that either he was poisoned or cursed.

  "Have you poisoned him or cast a spell on him?!" Zhang Lu said to Yang Feng with gritted teeth, he now understood why Yang Feng was so fearless and confident, such a stealthy and mysterious poisoning or spell-casting skill indeed qualified him to be so fearless!

  "Oh, did it work?! Haha, I'm relieved then. I was worried it wouldn't be effective at all! So even a natural-born genius like you can get poisoned too!" Yang Feng said with a smile, although his tone was teasing Zhang Lu, but he was telling the truth. Earlier when Zhang Lu was about to make his move, Yang Feng had released the toxic gas from the Golden Silkworm Gu in his body. The colorless and odorless toxic gas spread out from Yang Feng's body, truly reaching a level of stealth that was imperceptible to both gods and ghosts.

  Yang Feng poisoned him just to be a little more certain, and he didn't dare to confirm that the poison would work on someone with congenital great accomplishment. Just now, he was still holding on to his desperate heart, but because of Xiao Qing's sudden arrival, Zhang Lu was shocked for a moment, giving Yang Feng more time, which made the poison take effect.

  "What is your relationship with the Xijiang Group?!" Zhang Lu asked Yang Feng, now he no longer dared to act rashly, distributing his true energy outside his body, forming a protective aura, this was something that only someone who had reached the First Heaven Great Completion realm could do. Just now, he too had been careless for a moment and got poisoned, if he had released the protective aura earlier, he wouldn't have gotten poisoned at all.

  "My relationship with them is none of your business, let's just discuss our deal. To be honest, I have the upper hand in this situation, but I won't make any demands on you. As I said before, I don't want to see you or the Xijiang Group coming to bother me again. Let's all live in peace and quiet. My goal is only one thing: the Yang family!" Yang Feng said to Zhang Lu.

  Zhang Lu listened to Yang Feng's words and sat on the sofa for a long time before finally saying, "Alright, let's do it your way. You leave behind our ancestors' ultimate skill, and we'll consider our grudge settled. However, don't try any tricks. If we discover that the ultimate skill you left behind has any problems, Mingjiao will absolutely not let the matter drop."

  "Don't worry, since I've already said it out loud, I definitely won't resort to any tricks. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought up this matter in the first place. Actually, the whole thing started with your daughter, and I didn't do anything wrong. And I'm not afraid to tell you that if I hadn't wanted to come here, you absolutely wouldn't have been able to bring me here." Yang Feng said to Zhang Lu.

  Zhang Lu did not comment on Yang Feng's words, but in his heart he thought that perhaps these people would not be able to catch him. However, if things were to get out of hand and the elders of the Ming Cult's inner sect were to come out, it would be easy to capture this young man. Still, Yang Feng was indeed a talented individual, and it would be a shame not to recruit him for his own use.

  "Since that's the case, then write down your ancestor's ultimate skill. I can guarantee that the Ming Cult won't bother you again in the future. But are you really not going to reconsider?! You've learned your ancestor Zhang Wuji's ultimate skill, so you're considered his successor and one of us in the Ming Cult. In dealing with the Yang family, we can still help you!" Zhang Lu thought he'd try to win over Yang Feng again, although he had been poisoned by him earlier. However, he still admired Yang Feng's methods and abilities.

  "Joining the Ming Cult is out of the question, but I think we'll have another chance to cooperate in the future. Alright, bring me paper and pen, I'll write down your ancestors' ultimate skill for you, today has already wasted so much time, I should head back too." Yang Feng said to Zhang Lu.

  Zhang Lu smiled slightly after hearing Yang Feng's words and didn't say anything more. Since Yang Feng said they would have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, everything was fine. Anyway, Zhang Lu's original intention was to win over Yang Feng for his own use, allowing the power of Mingjiao to increase, so that they could gain some benefits in the competition with other families. However, Yang Feng's goal was to destroy the entire Yang family, which was absolutely impossible in Zhang Lu's view. Therefore, even if he allowed Yang Feng to join Mingjiao, he would not let Mingjiao help Yang Feng eliminate the Yang family, as that would only lead to the downfall of Mingjiao!

  So Zhang Lu heard Yang Feng say that there was an opportunity for cooperation, and his purpose was also achieved. Let Yang Feng go through the trouble himself, and Mingjiao gave him some appropriate help. Maybe at the right time, he could get more benefits without much effort.

  Yang Feng quickly wrote out the Tai Chi Yin Yang principle and handed it over to Zhang Lu. As for other absolute skills of Zhang Wuji, Yang did not write them down. Those martial arts absolute skills had long been passed down by Zhang Wuji, and he didn't need to do anything more.

  "Hmm, right, can the poison on me be cured now?!" Zhang Lu said as he took over the paper with the ancestral Zhang Wuji's ultimate skill written on it from Yang Feng.

  "Don't worry, I've already let you off the hook. There's nothing else to say, so I'll be leaving now. Oh, and when Zhang Fei wakes up, don't forget to remind her not to come looking for me again. Also, make sure she remembers one thing: in front of me, she can say anything she wants, but she absolutely cannot utter a single word that disrespects my mother. If she does, the punishment she receives will be even more severe than today's!" Yang Feng said to Zhang Lu.

  Zhang Lu didn't take Yang Feng's threatening words too seriously. He still knew his daughter well, and indeed she was a bit arrogant as Yang Feng said, but this was also because he had spoiled her too much. It seemed that from now on, he should be stricter with her, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble she would get into in the future!

  Yang Feng saw Zhang Lu nod and didn't say anything else, turned around and took Xiao Qing away. This month's monthly exam was over, and he had to dive back into intense practice. As for what would happen after Zhang Fei woke up, that wasn't Yang Feng's concern anymore!
