Amongst the 30 plus cities in Silken Region, Shanhe City's reputation wasn't high. This city wasn't prosperous and didn't have any great clans or sects. Moreover, there weren't any outstanding geniuses of the Creation Realm that had appeared in the recent years, and it could be considered to be a city that had a comparatively low sense of existence.
But this didn't mean that there weren't any great figures in Shanhe City.
At least, the residence of the Banner Master of the Gold Banner under the command of the Lord Black Buddha of the Chi Xiao Sect, Grandpa Feng Xu, was situated in Shanhe City.
In the imagination of many people, the members of the Chi Xiao Sect all those years ago ought to be ferocious figures. After all, according to the rumors, these members of the Chi Xiao Sect condensed the awe-inspiring Baleful Blood Aura with fresh blood and fused with ferocious beasts like the Hidden Dragon Elephant. Coupled with them following King Chixiao on his expeditions, all of them were figures that had come out from a sea of blood and killed countless people.
Such members of the Chi Xiao Sect would surely be filled with killing intent, dignified without being angry, and ferocious and violent.
In fact, it was indeed so.
There was naturally no need to mention King Chixiao himself, his deeds had spread throughout the world long ago. Presently, even a three year old child knew how crazy the King was all those years ago, and how ferocious and overbearing he was.
Besides that, practically every single one of the nine mighty lords of the Chi Xiao Sect, the 18 marquises that awed the world, the 36 Heavenly Spirits that swept through the world, and the 72 Earthly Fiends that guarded the borders were all ferocious figures.
Even they were like this, so how could the Banner Masters of the various War Banners and Incense Masters of the various Battle Halls not be ferocious? Not ferocious?
Perhaps.
But it wasn't absolute.
Take Grandpa Feng Xu for example, he wasn't ferocious nor ferocious. Not only that, he was amiable and approachable instead. He was a senior that everyone knew to be of virtue and prestige, and no matter if it was in Shanhe City, Silken Region, or even the Yan Luo Kingdom, he possessed extremely high prestige.
Under his leadership, the Red Head Mountain River Branch grew stronger and stronger day by day. Even the Mountain River City gradually prospered because of him.
The old man was kind-hearted. No matter what your background was, even if you were just a beggar, as long as your character wasn't bad, you could join the branch unconditionally to cultivate. Therefore, the Mountain River Branch had many disciples, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that half of the people in Shanhe City were disciples of the Mountain River Branch.
Grandpa didn't have any sons of his own, and he was the current Branch Master of the Mountain River Branch, Zhan Zhiming.
Speaking of Zhan's, there was no one in Shanhe City who didn't hate him.
He was born poor, and when he was young, both his parents died. Grandpa Feng Xu pitied him, and not only did he take him in, he even took him in as his personal disciple. He even treated him as his own son, and taught him everything that he knew.
Zhan Zhiming was considered to have lived up to expectations. Although his aptitude and comprehension were average, and his comprehension wasn't too outstanding, but under the careful guidance of the old man, he still had some achievements and cultivated the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form. Nine years ago, the mandate of heaven descended, and nature bloomed with extraordinary splendor. Many cultivators obtained great benefits, and Zhan Zhiming was no exception. He took this opportunity to break through and step into the ranks of Earth Immortals.
Grandpa Feng Xu saw that his cultivation was successful, so he was relieved to pass the position of Branch Master of the Mountain River Branch to him.
He cultivated to become an Earth Immortal, and became the Branch Master of the Red Flag Mountain River Branch.
To Zhan Zhiming, this was definitely a double blessing, and it was also a rare opportunity in life.
Many people thought that the Mountain River Branch would become stronger under Zhan Zhiming's leadership.
But they only thought so.
One mandate of heaven, one extraordinary splendor. Not only did it change the trajectory of Zhan Zhiming's life, it also allowed him to step onto the peak of his life. At the same time, it also made him arrogant, and his arrogant temperament changed.
From a person who was decent, steady, and resolute, he became an ambitious and ungrateful person.
At first, he only acted like a tyrant in the Mountain River Branch, and wantonly amassed wealth. Later, he gradually became disrespectful to his master, Grandpa Feng Xu.
What was even more hateful was that three years ago, when Grandpa Feng Xu was injured by a few Fated Creation Realm prodigies from the Red Flag Mountain River Branch, Zhan Zhiming not only didn't protect Grandpa Feng Xu, but also didn't avenge Grandpa Feng Xu after the incident. He didn't even say a word for Grandpa Feng Xu.
If that was all, it wouldn't be so hateful!
In fact, he even publicly humiliated Grandpa Feng Xu for overestimating himself, and that he shouldn't have provoked the Fated Creation Realm prodigies. What was even more hateful was that after he humiliated Grandpa Feng Xu, he expressed his goodwill to those Fated Creation Realm prodigies.
Three years ago, if Grandpa Feng Xu hadn't stopped him, the Lord Black Buddha would have killed him long ago!
At that time, Grandpa Feng Xu was seriously injured, and he was betrayed by his only direct disciple. It could be said that he was heartbroken, but he still begged the Lord Black Buddha to spare Zhan Zhiming's life. He only broke off their master-disciple relationship and expelled Zhan Zhiming from the Mountain River Branch.
Unfortunately.
Grandpa Feng Xu was kind-hearted, but he didn't manage to get Zhan Zhiming's conscience back.
After he left, he didn't show any conscience, nor did he repent. Instead, he joined the Mingyu Branch under the orders of the black-hearted master, Zhou Taihe. In the following three years, not only did he oppose Grandpa Feng Xu, but he also secretly roped in the Elders of the Mountain River Branch. Today, nearly one-third of the Elders of the Mountain River Branch had been roped in by him, and his disciples were innumerable.
Now, when Zhan Zhiming's name was mentioned, he was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone wanted to beat him up.
But that was all.
Although many people were angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything in front of Zhan Zhiming.
Firstly, Zhan Zhiming's cultivation wasn't weak. He was an Earth Immortal. After he joined Zhou Taihe, no one knew what elixir he took, but his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
But that wasn't important. What was important was that he joined the black-hearted master, Zhou Taihe.
Grandpa Feng Xu was definitely a big shot in the Yanluo Kingdom. He commanded more than 50 branches, and there were millions of people. His subordinates were even more powerful. Imperial edicts, luck, and destiny were all under his command. His influence and strength completely overshadowed the Four Great Families and the Seven Great Sects. In addition, he had the support of Sengoku. Even the Yanluo royalty was afraid of him. In the Yanluo Kingdom, he could call the wind and summon the rain, and no one dared to provoke him.
It was night.
The moon was dark, and the wind was strong.
An incomparably luxurious spirit beast carriage was galloping in the Shanhe City.
The chariot was completely black, about three meters long and three meters tall. Its exterior was carved from jade, and it looked lifelike. It was like an exquisite palace, and it looked extremely imposing. The chariot flickered with a faint brilliance, as if it was enveloped by layers of formations.
Pulling the carriage was a huge two-headed liger beast. This liger beast was also dark red, and it had one lion head and one tiger head. It was unusually fierce.
Two-headed liger beasts were rare. In the Yanluo Kingdom, they could be counted with one hand. The person who owned such a two-headed liger beast carriage must be rich and noble.
That was indeed the case.
As everyone knew, the original owner of this two-headed liger beast carriage was the famous Lord Black Buddha, Dong Laohu. Later, he gave it to Féquy, who took care of his business.
