They all thought he was going to attack them immediately, and even Huang Zhen frowned, turning to ask them, "Do you know him?"Liang Feixing nodded and whispered, "We ripped him off before and took away his clients. He must be here for revenge.""..." Huang Zhen was speechless.Zhang Wei stepped forward and stared at Quan Che's neck. "How is your neck now?" But he recalled something and chuckled, "Why am I even asking? You wouldn't be standing here like this if you weren't fine."His words only seemed to fuel Quan Che's anger, and he gritted his teeth angrily. "Shut up! If it weren't for you...""But I gave you the antidote," Zhang Wei retorted. Quan Che was furious. Was that an antidote or a neck massage that left his neck sore for three days? Zhang Wei laughed, seeing the look on his face, and snorted, "So what are you here for? To get back at us? Can you handle the three of us alone?"Quan Che's gaze flickered as he stared at the three of them. He was to meet up with his group th

The rope lifted them, trapping them to the branch of a very tall tree. Several loud noises also accompanied their movement, and it came from a couple of iron bells that were tied together at the bottom of the snare trap.Zhang Wei looked down dumbfounded. "Well, what a new perspective this is.""What... what's going on?" Huang Zhen cried out in alarm and grabbed Zhang Wei's arm."We are trapped," Zhang Wei muttered calmly once he was over his initial speechlessness. "Your leg caught a snare trap, and we were pulled upside down by it.""Oh. How do we get down from here?" Huang Zhen asked offhandedly, trying to calm down. But when he tried to look down, he realized how tall they were hung and screamed. Zhang Wei chuckled at his reaction but tried to dig his hand into his sleeve. "I think I still have my knife here. I'll cut the rope off and jump down."But due to their posture, he was unable to reach in and could only turn to Huang Zhen, who was scared out of his wits beside him. "Hel

Once he barged in, the two people inside looked alarmed to see him. Zhang Lei coughed, seeing that he had been caught while his mother looked restless and worried."Wei'er," she called out. "Come, your father wants to talk to you."Zhang Wei eyed the man seated on the high chair while his mother sat on the floor. "We have nothing to talk about."She looked restless and tried to persuade, "Your father said it will be dangerous for you to go to that place. You don't have any cultivation. What if...""That was what he told you?" Zhang Wei scoffed, glancing at Zhang Lei. "You sure are rather leisurely spinning fear into the heart of a weak woman, 'Father.'"This time, the word 'father' was rather fluid to say albeit it was full of sarcasm."What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Lei was about to yell at him.But Zhang Wei paid him no heed and reached out to help his mother from the futon before turning to Zhang Lei. "Tomorrow is the trial day, and you can't sit still anymore, can yo

It was Huang Zhen. "Zhang Wei, are you ready to leave too? Come over and ride along with me." He waved excitedly. Zhang Wei was surprised to see him, but he nodded and approached him. Chen Lan and her kids stood there watching as Zhang Wei entered the big carriage and soon disappeared from sight. It was only after they were gone that Zhang Ming peeped from the carriage and murmured, "Mother, is that not the Huang family's peony insignia on the carriage. How did that... that little bastard knows someone from the Huang family?" Chen Lan was still surprised, but she soon composed herself. "How can that be? Even your father has to go through a friend to meet the Huang family elder. How can someone like him know anyone from there?" Zhang Ming seemed to think her words feasible and nodded. "Maybe I saw it wrongly." "Yes..okay hurry up and get going now. You have to get to the boundary before noon." In the carriage, Zhang Wei gave a small anicker seeing their reactions before resting

Just then, they heard him yell loudly from behind them, "Fuck, run!" The two glanced at the figure cloaked in black that was about to launch an attack at them and instantly made a run for it, following the route Zhang Wei took. "Fuck, who was that!?" Huang Zhen bellowed. "He doesn't seem to be chasing after us," Liang Feixing suddenly chimed in as he looked back. The figure was no longer behind them and it was like he didn't appear in the first place. They stopped running for a moment to look. But just then, they noticed that another figure cloaked in black attacked the two boys coming from the side. "They're not targeting us specifically." Liaang Feixing observed. "Then, what do they want!?" "Who knows?" Zhang Wei responded. "They're not basic level martial artists. Let's not stay to find out how strong they are." "Okay." And so, they began to run through the thickets, witnessing as several other contestants were being attacked left and right. It was rather chaotic and th

Zhang Wei looked at the innumerable faces around him, stupefied. They were all tied up in groups of twos and three like them. Before he could grasp the situation, he heard someone mutter, “Damn… this little bastard was also brought here. Serves you right!” The voice was rather familiar, so he looked over and saw that it was his stepbrother, Zhang Ming. When he saw Zhang Wei looking over, he snorted, “What are you looking at!?” “Who are these bastards kidnapping everyone,” He continued swearing. “When is that arrogant little shit, Zhang Jun going to be brought here? They better bring him, too. Fuck, I’m so angry!” As he spoke, he continued to kick his legs angrily, straining the person who was tied together with him. When Zhang Wei looked over, he saw that it was the fatty, Zhang Nie who was being dragged along with him and was clearly fed up. “Second Brother… stop moving. I can’t breathe.” “Shut up!” Zhang Ming barked at him and then, continued to grumble. It was a rather comical

"Clang!"The shrill sound of swords clashing resonated through the grounds of the sandy mountain as several flashes of light collided, forcing Zhang Wei to stagger backward. In the chaos, dust and sand swirled in the air, carried by the brisk night breeze. With a deft motion, Zhang Wei's sleeve twirled as he raised an arm to regain his balance.Simultaneously, nine figures clad in diverse-colored robes descended upon the mountain, brandishing gleaming swords aimed squarely at him."Zhang Wei, today is your last day. You must leave your life here!" one of the men declared with conviction, all their expressions alert.Another swiftly added, "You practice forbidden arts, against Lingfeng Peak's rules. We shall eradicate you to keep the world safe."Zhang Wei, initially silent, looked up at this, his gaze chilly as it settled on the group. His voice was fluid and brisk, yet his tone carried a shallow sense of arrogance as he spoke, "You? Do you dare!?"As he spoke, Zhang Wei twirled his w

Fènghuáng Temple."Second Brother, are you sure about this? What if someone finds out we did it?" "What are you talking about? As long as you and I don't talk about it, who will know it was us?"The night breeze was rather chilly, and the moon had receded behind the dark clouds—a sign of impending rain. But its dim light shone on the roads, illuminating two youthful male figures as they sneaked into the courtyard of the old temple. One of them was quite chubby and carrying a sack over his shoulder, while the other was fit and slender.The temple was not ancient; however, it had been abandoned for quite a long time with no caretaker, so a lot of grass had grown and lots of leaves had fallen from the wide magnolia tree in the middle of the courtyard. The sound of dry leaves scattered over the floorboards, crushing under their moving feet, was sharp in the otherwise silent night."Quick, Third Brother," the slender youth spoke, grabbing the handle of the doorknob. "Just dump him somewhe

"This is the list for the hunt," Zhong Hua handed the scroll to Liang Feixing, who opened it up to check. When he saw the long list of ingredients, his eyes widened. "So many?"Zhong Hua looked delightful and shook his head with a smile. "You seem to have made a good impression on those seniors, so they recommended you to their classmates." He also added with a tone of disbelief, "I even heard that most of Quan Che's clients have quit working with him, and they are on this list."Liang Feixing immediately looked at Zhang Wei, who smiled leisurely and collected the scroll. He clicked his tongue once he opened it and muttered, "This is a lot. But they are simple herbs. We should be able to get them.""Yes." Zhong Hua nodded.Zhang Wei looked up at him. "How much is the pay?"Zhong Hua smiled and lifted a palm."Fifty taels?" Zhang Wei frowned. That was no different from what he earned from each person last time."Yes." Zhong Hua drawled knowingly, but before both of them could speak, h

The moment he opened the door and entered, a teacup flew toward his head. Zhang Wei instinctively ducked, and the cup crashed into the wall behind him. A slight frown appeared on his lips, and he eyed the shards of the porcelain cup on the floor before straightening up and looking at Zhang Lei.Since he arrived in this present life, he hadn't encountered anyone with proper cultivation, and he forgot how terrifying internal energy was for a split moment. He could still feel the sheer force with which the teacup was thrown at him, and if it weren't for his instincts, it would have injured him severely.If it was in his past life, it wouldn't even make a scratch on him. But now, he was in the host's body and could definitely not withstand any attack. Especially not from a cultivator of the seventh grade.It was fine if Zhang Lei knew it was him, but how could he attack his own son, knowing he couldn't fight back? He directed his cold glare at Zhang Lei, who was sitting across, and the l

Manager Ju instantly frowned. "How is that possible?"Huang Zhen looked at the crystal glowing with white light in the distance and muttered in disbelief, "How is that possible?"He instinctively rushed forward but hesitated to collect it, fearing he was hearing things and would break the illusion if he did. At this point, Manager Ju was the least of his concerns.His pill glowed with a white light, indicating a higher second grade. He could hardly believe it.Behind him, Liang Feixing nearly jumped up and grabbed Zhang Wei's shoulder. "He did it," he exclaimed. "He really did it."Even Zhang Wei smiled in a rare show of emotion. He wasn't truly surprised but still caught off guard. He expected the pill to be lower or equal in grade compared to Manager Ju's, but it turned out to be higher. He was rather satisfied.Meanwhile, Manager Ju stood by, shaking his head from time to time. He looked at Huang Zhen suspiciously and suddenly exclaimed, "You must have cheated!"Everyone's attenti
