Sima Yinlong was sitting in his room, flipping through a jade slip in his hand. This jade slip recorded a sword formation. Core disciples like them, although they seemed to be very powerful, they didn't dare to relax for even a moment. This was because they were very clear that everything they had today came from their strength. If they were unable to use their strength to stand in their current position, then they would immediately lose everything they had today.
It could be said that as a core disciple, they were more nervous and pressured than ordinary disciples. Especially for the top ten core disciples, if they were to fall from their positions, then those who followed them would certainly disperse by more than half. Just thinking about that kind of life made them feel afraid.
Therefore, core disciples like Sima Yinlong didn't go anywhere. They still had a lot of opportunities to stay in their sect.
While Sima Yinlong was looking at the sword formation, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Senior Brother, Zhengyin wants to see you."
Sima Yinlong's brows furrowed imperceptibly as he said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Jin Zhengyin pushed open the door and walked in. She bowed to Sima Yinlong and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Sima Yinlong nodded his head and said, "Okay, no need to be so polite. Tell me, why are you looking for me at this time?"
Jin Zhengyin nodded. She looked at Sima Yinlong and said, "Senior apprentice-brother, I just received news that Zhang Feng obtained a large magic tool from somewhere. It's shaped like a boat. I don't know how strong it is."
Hearing Jin Zhengyin, Sima Yinlong couldn't help but put away the jade slip that he had been fiddling with. He looked at Sima Yinlong and said, "Large artifact? Boat-Shaped? How big is it? "
The battle between the top ten core disciples and Zhang Feng was going on in all aspects. Among them, the thing that made the top ten core disciples most proud was that they had large artifacts while Zhang Feng didn't. These years, Zhang Feng had always wanted to obtain a large artifact. But in the Cultivation World, there were no ready-made large artifacts for sale. Even if there were, Zhang Feng wouldn't be able to afford it.
Zhang Feng also wanted to find someone to help him refine it, but none of the refiners in the Black Tiger Gang dared to take this job, because they were afraid that Zhang Feng would blame them if they didn't refine it well.
Because of this, Zhang Feng still didn't have her own large artifact. This made Sima Yinlong and the others, who couldn't suppress Zhang Feng in terms of strength and status, very happy. But now that they heard that Zhang Feng had a large artifact, Sima Yinlong's expression changed.
The battle between the top ten core disciples and Zhang Feng was not just a simple battle of personal feelings. There were many other things involved. It was equivalent to the battle of power and interests between the gang leader and the Black Tiger Gang. Therefore, the top ten core disciples attached great importance to Zhang Feng's matter.
Although Sima Yinlong was concerned about the battle prowess of Zhang Feng's large artifact, he was more concerned about where Zhang Feng had obtained it.
Large artifacts weren't something that just anyone could refine. Moreover, in Sima Yinlong's impression, large artifacts couldn't be refined by just one person. However, Zhang Feng had actually taken out a large artifact without anyone noticing. This could only mean one thing, someone else had refined it for him.
Did he ask someone from another gang to refine it for him? Or did he secretly control some refiners? No matter which one it was, Sima Yinlong didn't want to see it happen.
If someone from another gang helped Zhang Feng refine a large artifact, then it meant that Zhang Feng had the support of another gang. This was absolutely not good news for them.
If Zhang Feng had some refiners in his hands, then it would be even more troublesome. Zhang Feng could use these refiners to pull people in. When that time comes, Zhang Feng's strength would become even more formidable.
Although the Black Tiger Gang was now very powerful, almost to the point of overriding the gang leader, the gang leader was still a legitimate existence. Sima Yinlong also knew that the reason why Zhang Feng was able to develop so quickly was because of the gang leader's support. However, most of the refiners in the Black Tiger Gang were in the hands of the other clans. Although the gang leader had some refiners, it was impossible for them to refine large artifacts. If Zhang Feng really had a refiner that could refine large artifacts, then it would be equal to making up for the gang leader's weakness. This was absolutely not a good thing for the other clans.
Jin Zhengyin didn't know what Sima Yinlong was thinking. Although he followed Sima Yinlong for some time, he didn't know about the power behind Sima Yinlong. Because of this, he honestly said, "It's very big. Looking at the appearance of the ship, it's not smaller than the Black Tiger Boat. It's very imposing."
Sima Yinlong frowned, then he waved his hand towards Jin Zhengyin and said, "Alright, you can go. Continue investigating for me and see if you can find out where Zhang Feng obtained that large artifact. Right, start with Zhang Feng's battle slaves."
Jin Zhengyin looked at Sima Yinlong, then he bitterly smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I'm afraid it's too late. Zhang Feng already reported to the gang that his battle slaves had died from qi deviation while refining. Then he transferred a group of battle slaves from the Cultivator Realm."
Sima Yinlong immediately stood up. For the first time, a shocked expression appeared on his face. He didn't think that Zhang Feng would be so ruthless and directly kill those people. It seems like those people definitely knew some of the Black Tiger Gang's secrets. Otherwise, Zhang Feng wouldn't be so ruthless.
Sima Yinlong circled the ground twice, then he said, "Alright, you can go now. Continue investigating. This might be Zhang Feng's biggest secret, we must investigate it thoroughly."
Jin Zhengyin nodded, then he turned around and left. At the same time, Sima Yinlong immediately went to a nearby room. Then a white light flashed as Sima Yinlong disappeared.
When Sima Yinlong reappeared, he was already inside a study room. An old man was sitting inside. When the old man felt Sima Yinlong's arrival, he looked up and said, "Why are you here? Is it because of Zhang Feng? "
Sima Yinlong carefully replied, "Yes, Grandfather. It's because of Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng has a large artifact, but the origin of this artifact is very strange. Most importantly, he killed all of his battle slaves. I think that those battle slaves must have known something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed them."
The old man looked at Sima Yinlong and said, "I already know about this matter. You don't need to be so nervous. There's no need to be so nervous. We don't have any clues about this matter. Even if we want to investigate, we wouldn't be able to. Moreover, our clans aren't vegetarians. Even if that person wants to deal with us, it wouldn't be easy. Don't act like the end of the world."
Sima Yinlong lowered his head as he listened to his teacher. He didn't dare to refute. The old man looked at him and said, "You can go back. Don't come to my place so easily. If you're discovered, then it'll be troublesome." Sima Yinlong nodded, then he turned around and left.
The old man looked at Sima Yinlong's departing back and sighed, "He still can't keep his cool." Then the old man stood up and frowned as he muttered, "But this matter should be discussed with those fellows." Then the old man said, "Someone, prepare the carriage." A servant immediately responded. Before long, the old man went out of his room. There was already a carriage waiting for him outside.
The old man's carriage was actually a beast carriage. Unexpectedly, there were several dragon-like beasts that were waiting for him. Their bodies were iron black, and their scales were reflecting light. One could see that they weren't easy to deal with. However, all of them were docile and didn't have any domineering aura.
After the old man got on the carriage, the beast carriage immediately soared into the sky and disappeared. The mansion that the carriage left behind was very majestic. In front of the mansion's door, there was a sign with the words "Si Mansion" written on it.
It was the Si Mansion, not the Sima Mansion. This old man was the leader of the Si Family, a famous family of the Black Tiger Gang. However, no one in the Black Tiger Gang knew that Sima Yinlong was from the Si Mansion. On the contrary, in the minds of the Black Tiger Gang, Sima Yinlong and the Si Family didn't seem to get along.
The other big families of the Black Tiger Gang did the same thing as the Si Mansion. After they knew that Zhang Feng had her own large artifact, they also made their move. Everyone was heading towards the Hu Family.
The Hu Family wasn't an ordinary family of cultivators. In fact, the Hu Family was a family of demon cultivators. The members of the family were all demon cultivators of the Fox Race. Moreover, the Hu Family had existed since the Black Tiger Gang was founded. After so many years, the Hu Family still stood tall in the Black Tiger Gang. From this, one could see how powerful this family was.
In the Black Tiger Gang, there were two ancient families. One was the Hu Family, and the other was the Han Family. However, very few outsiders knew about the Han Family. On the other hand, the Hu Family was very famous in the Northern Strange Continent. It could be said that these two families, one in the open and one in the dark, were the two biggest powers in the Black Tiger Gang.
The Hu Family had gathered many families in the Black Tiger Gang. These families followed the Hu Family's lead and didn't even put the gang leader in their eyes. They only followed the Hu Family's orders.
On the other hand, the Han Family was the gang leader's most staunch supporter. Every generation of the gang leader's position was inextricably linked to the Han Family. Because of this, the two families weren't very harmonious. Although they hadn't reached the point of fighting each other, it was almost impossible for them to cooperate.
The movements of the big families were naturally known by the Black Tiger Gang's current leader. However, the current leader didn't have time to care about them because he was currently meeting with Zhang Feng.
The current leader of the Black Tiger Gang was called Zhan Tian. He was a Body Cultivator and was at the Crossing Calamity Stage. His strength was unfathomable. He was over two meters tall, had ashen skin, a big beard, and round eyes. He looked like a ferocious Zhang Fei. Although he looked like a middle-aged man, no one knew how old he was.
Zhang Feng was currently standing in Tie Zhan Tian's study. Tie Zhan Tian looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Little Feng, tell me, where did you get your large artifact?"
Zhang Feng looked at Tie Zhan Tian. She didn't seem to be afraid, instead, she smiled faintly and said, "Someone gave me a gift. He said that with my current status, it would be unreasonable for me to not have a large artifact. Therefore, he gave me a large artifact."
Tie Zhan Tian stared, then his eyes widened even more. He looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Don't talk nonsense. That is a large artifact. Who would be so imposing as to give a large artifact to someone else? I think you're just trying to clean it up."
Zhang Feng had an innocent look on her face as she said, "Martial Uncle, I'm not talking nonsense. It was really given to me by someone else. That large artifact is a kind of assembled artifact. It's divided into several parts and then refined separately. After the refining was successful, it was assembled together. Then the formations inside were connected together to form this large artifact. I didn't lie to you."
When Tie Zhan Tian heard Zhang Feng, he was somewhat convinced. However, he still had a puzzled look on his face as he said, "Where did you find such a Refining Grandmaster? He's quite generous. Now, the Great Clans can't sit still and are looking for him. Did he expose himself? "
Zhang Feng smiled faintly and said, "Absolutely not. As for that person's identity, I can't say it. Martial Uncle, you don't need to ask. I'm sure that the Great Clans can't find him. It's also impossible for him to help the Great Clans. Moreover, he's not just a Refining Grandmaster, he's also an Alchemy Grandmaster. In the future, we won't have to worry about our supply of pills."
When he heard Zhang Feng, Tie Zhan Tian couldn't help but stare. Then his eyes lit up as he said, "Really? If that's the case, then that's great. "
Zhang Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's absolutely true. I have a good relationship with that Grandmaster. If Martial Uncle needs any pills, just tell me and I'll see if I can get them from that Grandmaster. However, the Battle Slaves might know that I've been in contact with that Grandmaster. Therefore, I can only kill them."
Tie Zhantian waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal about a few Battle Slaves? Let's just kill them. Right, I heard that you arranged a Battle Slave to join the gang. Does he know about this?"
Zhang Feng shook her head and said, "He doesn't know. You can rest assured, that kid is a talent. I'm planning to leave him for a while. When the time comes, I'll still need him."
When Tie Zhantian heard Zhang Feng, he nodded and said, "Alright, that's good. You need to be careful for a while. Don't come in contact with the Grandmaster. The Great Clans are watching you, even the Han Family. If you come in contact with the Grandmaster, you might be exposed. Therefore, you need to be honest for a while, understand?"
Do you understand? "Zhang Feng nodded and said," Yes, I understand. Martial Uncle can rest assured, I'll take care of it. But Martial Uncle, even if the Han Family knows, won't they be fine? In fact, Han Ren already knows that Grandmaster's identity. "
When he heard Zhang Feng, Tie Zhan Tian couldn't help but stare. Then he gently knit his brows. After some time, he said, "If they know, then they know. The Han Family knows what to do. As long as that Grandmaster's identity isn't exposed, then it's fine. Alright, you can go back. Be careful." Zhang Feng nodded, then turned around and left.
