Damn, what happened! Forty days plus three months. Du Feng had been underground for almost five months. On this day, he secretly sent out a specter to scout the situation. He saw a group of strong men in yellow armor and a group of strong men in red armor confronting each other.
Coincidentally, this place was not far from the red desert. The two forces separated from the center line. The east side of the center line was under the jurisdiction of the Huangfu Family, and the west side was under the jurisdiction of the Nangong Family. This was because they felt that Du Feng was most likely still in the west side. Later on, when he thought about it, he felt that the person he had met before was Du Feng.
Du Feng did not know that such a big battle was to catch him, but he knew that the Nangong Family was definitely here to catch the person who killed Nangong Yan. Fortunately, the Powang Realm experts were not there. It was only the guards who were confronting each other, so no one noticed Du Feng's peeping.
He went back underground again, pondered for a while, and decided to sneak a distance to the east. Then, he found a place where there was no one, took out the waist token of the Seven Basaltic Mansions, and sent a message to Cang Jingsong in the Martial Scripture Pavilion.
The content was simple. He said that he found ten Fire Lingzhi in the Meteorite Forest, but Nangong Yan brought people and wanted to take it away. So, both sides fought, and he killed them. He asked Cang Jingsong if he could protect him and bring him back to the Seven Basaltic Mansions. If he could, he would send people over. If he couldn't, he would leave the Seven Basaltic Mansions and not take back the Fire Lingzhi.
In order to increase his bargaining chips, Du Feng went all out. He planned to contribute all ten Fire Lingzhi that he had painstakingly cultivated. He purposely said that the experts from the Nangong Family had entered, suspecting that they had already picked the mother Lingzhi. This was because the ten Fire Lingzhi that he saw were relatively small, as if they had only grown for a few years.
The reason why Du Feng did this was not only to increase his bargaining chips, but also to lead the conflict to the Nangong Family. They had sealed off the Red Desert on such a large scale. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem like they were just trying to capture one person. Mobilizing so many people made it easier for people to suspect that there was some big goal.
In fact, Nangong Yan's father had reached a critical juncture in his cultivation and just happened to need the Fire Lingzhi. Moreover, it was the Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lingzhi. That was why he wanted to show off. He spent a lot of money to buy information from Old Ma and brought his men into the Meteorite Forest.
"Since it's such a big matter, you should go personally. At the same time, search that kid's body to see if he has any Mother Ganoderma."
Sora Aoi Matsui reported this matter to the Pavilion Master of Martial Arts for him to make a decision. A matter of this level was not enough to alarm the Lord Manor Head. The Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion was powerful enough to compete with the Nangong family. Moreover, the Huangfu Clan was also opposing them.
Even if Du Feng didn't say so, the news had already spread outside. They said that the Nangong Family had discovered a large number of Fire Lingzhi. That was why they had sealed off the Red Desert and killed so many cultivators, wanting to monopolize the good stuff. This rumor was naturally spread by the HuangFu Clan.
Currently, a large number of martial artists were gathered outside the red desert forbidden zone. Who wouldn't want to take a share of the benefits? Although they were alone and weak, they were still a force to be reckoned with. The guards of the Nangong Family were already badly battered. They were afraid that a fight would break out. If a fight broke out, it would definitely be a chaotic battle. At that time, there would be many casualties on both sides. Even if the Nangong Family was powerful, they couldn't afford to lose so many.
"Look, the people from the Seven Basaltic Mansions are here."
Just when everyone was discussing whether they should rush in or not, they saw an important person walking over. That's right. It was Cang Jingsong, who was in charge of issuing missions in the Martial Arts Pavilion. He still had standard shoulder-length hair with big curls. His hair was gray and white, and it blended well with his full beard. Coupled with his face that had been through the vicissitudes of life, he would be remembered wherever he went.
"I heard that the person who killed Nangong Yan is called Du Feng. He's from the Seven Basaltic Mansions."
"I heard that too. I don't know if the Seven Basaltic Mansions will protect him."
"Can't you see that? Cang Jingsong is here. He's definitely going to protect him."
Everyone was talking about it. They wanted to see how Du Feng would resolve this crisis.
"This Du Feng is really bold. I heard that he has the HuangFu Clan backing him up."
"Why did I hear that the Situ Clan is his backing? You have to know that the Nangong Family and the Situ Clan are competitors."
Although the martial artists were all tall and strong, they were more gossipy than women when they talked. They talked about the relationship between Du Feng and Huangfu Xue from Du Feng's killing of Nangong Yan. From the relationship between Du Feng and Huangfu Xue, they talked about his relationship with the three sisters of the Situ Clan. In short, the more they talked, the more they talked. In the end, they even made up a lot of irrelevant stories. A student from the Seven Basaltic Mansions was described as a social butterfly by them.
"Stop!"
Along the way, the martial artists made way for Cang Jingsong. However, when he reached the intersection of the Red Desert, he was stopped by the Nangong Family's guards. As the saying went, 'money helps people eliminate disasters'. The guards usually received salaries from the Nangong Family, so they had to be loyal to their duties. Moreover, they had a lot of people this time, so they were not afraid of the people from the Seven Basaltic Mansions. There was no way a long-haired uncle could barge in.
"How dare you! You even dare to stop him!"
"That's right. Why don't we fight our way in and clear the way for Old Cang?"
Cang Jingsong did not even need to say anything. The martial artists who were watching the show were not going to let it go. One had to know that he was the person in charge of issuing missions in the Martial Scripture Pavilion. All the students who had been in the Martial Scripture Pavilion knew him. Not only did the students know him, but the students' relatives also knew him. This kind of network alone was very powerful.
Moreover, the students who could enter the Seven Basaltic Mansions were generally wealthy and respectable. Even if they were not as powerful as the Nangong Family, when many small and medium-sized forces gathered together, they were still a force to be reckoned with. There were also many martial artists who had nothing to do with the Seven Basaltic Mansions, but they also started to cause trouble.
Anyway, everyone did not like the Nangong Family. Taking this opportunity to cause trouble together, they might even be able to fish in troubled waters and gain some benefits. In short, Cang Jingsong's appearance had broken a certain balance. The martial artists outside suddenly erupted and crazily squeezed into the Red Desert.
"This is bad. Report to the Clan Leader."
The Nangong Family's guards saw that they could not stop them at all, so they could only report the situation in advance. The swarming martial artists were more terrifying than the beast tide. No one knew who started the fight, so everyone attacked the Nangong Family's guards one after another. The scene was a mess.
