Chapter 18: Becoming an Apprentice (4)

  ——————————————————————

  On the second day of the Ascension Festival, Xing Chenzi took Yi Feng out of the Holy City with a carefree attitude.

  Originally, I wanted to find a secluded place, bringing Yifeng's sword and flying away. However, there were several people constantly following behind me. Wherever Xingchenzi went, they followed, just like a pack of wolves chasing prey.

  "There are a few guys in the back, who are somewhat interesting. In the secular world, they should be considered top-notch masters, but they just don't take a liking to us." Xingchenzi said with a disdainful expression, nodding his head at Yifeng.

  Yi Feng looked back and indeed there were a few people staring at them. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, are these people your enemies?"

  Xingchenzi shook his head and said, "I have been out of the world for over a thousand years, and I haven't come out in over two hundred years. How could I know these people? Looking at their strength, they are considered top-notch in the secular world, so it's unlikely that they came to rob us."

  Xīng Chén Zǐ said, with a hint of a smile, looking at Yì Fēng, the meaning was self-evident. Xīng Chén Zǐ was convinced that these people must be after his newly acquired precious apprentice. However, he found it strange that, given Yì Fēng's age and abilities, they wouldn't go to such great lengths.

  The two did not leave again, although Xing Chenzi could fly away directly with his sword, but this would definitely make Yi Feng look down on him. Yi Feng had just taken a master, and he was also taking the opportunity to show off his skills, so that the newly accepted disciple wouldn't think he was timid.

  "This place is in the wilderness, with no one around, and Stardust directly asked those people: 'You've been following my master and me for a long time, what do you want to do?'"

  As he spoke, Xing Chenzi slightly relaxed his aura, although it was less than 10%, but as a late-stage Yuan Ying cultivator, even half of his aura was not something that ordinary warriors could withstand.

  Those few people originally saw Yi Feng and his master stop, ready to take action, but as they approached a few meters, they were pushed back over ten meters by Xing Chenzi's aura. After the explosion, they directly fell to the ground.

  Several people's faces were filled with fear, as masters of the secular martial world, they had never encountered a strong person with such a powerful aura before. This encounter made several people realize that there are people outside of people and mountains outside of mountains.

  "Get lost! Today I just accepted a new disciple, and I'm in a good mood, so I won't bother with you few people!" Xingchenzi was after all a cultivator of the Dao, not some ruthless demonic cultivator. These people had no grudge against him either, so he might as well let them off easy.

  Those few people weren't ungrateful, since the difference in strength was so great, and since they were going to let them off, they wouldn't have had any intention of seeking death. Without even a moment's thought, several of them suddenly took to their heels and ran.

  "Haha......"

  Yi Feng and Xing Chenzi looked at the few people's wretched appearance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. After finishing their laughter, Xing Chenzi said to Yi Feng: "See, this is the importance of strength. If you and I didn't have enough strength today, how could they possibly leave in such a state? It can be said that if we two master and disciple were not strong enough, we would have ended up as corpses in the wilderness. However, in the Cultivation World, you must remember that when dealing with people who want to harm you, you cannot show mercy, even if there is a huge gap between you. Who knows how many years later a weak person will achieve great things? What if they get lucky and their powers surge, and in the end, it's you who suffers?"

  Xing Chenzi thought that Yi Feng was young, although he was clever, but after all, he had little experience in the world and didn't know much about the cultivation world, so he would teach him like this. Such a good disciple, he didn't want Yi Feng to die easily in the future.

  "Remember, disciple!" Although Yi Feng had never truly been in contact with the Cultivation world, from books or his own guesses, he had long since come to a conclusion: wherever there were people, there were schemes, and the strong preyed on the weak! Without power, one could only be bullied by others!

  This principle applies universally and has no regional or temporal limitations.
