Chapter 26: Ghosts and Monsters (Part 1)

  Yi Feng followed Xing Chenzi out of the house and saw that there were already three people waiting in the courtyard. Without thinking, he knew that these three people must be his three senior brothers whom he had never met before.

  Xingchenzi pulled Yifeng forward, introducing him one by one: "This is your eldest senior brother Lu Changfeng, this is your second senior brother Zhao Gang, and this is your third senior brother Liu Yishan." Yifeng hastily stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting: "Junior Yifeng greets the three senior brothers. Junior's cultivation is still shallow, and he hopes that in the future, the three senior brothers will offer guidance and support."

  Three senior brothers seemed unimpressed with Yi Feng, but in front of their master Xing Chenzi, they all smiled and returned the courtesy.

  "Heh heh, fellow disciples should get along harmoniously and make progress together. Don't let outsiders laugh at us. After leaving the mountain, everything will be arranged by Eldest Brother Lu Changfeng. Be low-key in your actions and don't stir up trouble unnecessarily. Can you all remember that?" Xing Chenzi's expression was serious as he instructed them, and after Yi Feng and the others nodded in agreement, he walked out of the courtyard with a leisurely pace.

  "The villagers below are in a state of panic, let's set off now and finish our task as soon as possible so we can return to the mountain for cultivation." Master Lu Changfeng said to his three junior brothers, with a tone that was quite befitting of an elder brother. As soon as he finished speaking, he led the way by drawing out his flying sword and shooting straight up into the sky.

  Lu Changfeng's flying sword transformed into a fiery red light, and in the blink of an eye it vanished; Second Brother's movements were also swift, as he took out his own earth-yellow flying sword and closely followed after.

  Only Third Brother Liu Yishan did not act immediately. Liu Yishan gazed at the two brothers who had already flown far away, and couldn't help but stomp his foot and spit out a mouthful of saliva. He then calmly asked Yi Feng, "Little Brother, you don't have your own flying sword yet, do you?"

  This isn't nonsense! If one's cultivation hasn't reached the Golden Core stage, they won't be able to refine their own flying sword with the Golden Core primordial fire!

  Yi Feng understood the meaning and politely said: "My cultivation is low, I am not yet able to cast a flying sword, so for the trip down the mountain, I'll trouble Liu brother to take me along."

  Liu Yishan saw that Yi Feng was still somewhat sensible, and finally managed to squeeze out a smile on his face. He said: "Younger brother is being polite. Younger brother is the most favored disciple of Master, I heard that even the thousand-year-old Golden Bamboo was given to you, it seems that in the future, I will have to rely on younger brother's care." After finishing speaking, the smile on his face turned cold, as if he had seen the murderer of his father.

  "Ah! This is clearly naked jealousy! Yi Feng despised Liu Yishan in his heart, but said: "Liu Shixiong, the two Shixiongs have gone far away, we should also set off, lest we delay things and make Shifu unhappy."

  "Hmm!" Liu Yishan responded with a sound, and then opened his mouth to spit out a golden aura. The aura swelled in the wind, its shape expanding to seven feet long and half a foot wide, clearly a flying sword of gold attribute, looking extraordinary in quality.

  Liu Yishan jumped onto the flying sword and beckoned to Yi Feng, thinking to himself: "You actually use my master to pressure me, just wait and see."

  Yi Feng's feet lightly exerted force, and his long-term practice of the Xiao Ling Sword Technique made his body extremely light, like a whirlwind blowing flowers, floating to Liu Yishan's back. This kind of effortless performance, however, caused Liu Yishan's eyebrows to furrow slightly.

  "Little brother, steady yourself." Liu Yishan reminded him before flying sword swiftly broke through the air.

  Due to the excessive speed, the gale howled crazily beside Yi Feng's ear, as if it wanted to pull him down from the flying sword. Liu Yishan did not release his spiritual power, allowing the air to rub against their bodies, and he stood still like a mountain.

  Yi Feng sneered inwardly. He was no ordinary fusion period cultivator now, with a strong physique and abundant internal energy. Even if he let his true yuan force flow slightly through his body, he wouldn't fear the raging wind. However, knowing that trees that stand out in the forest will be uprooted by the wind, he still didn't dare to appear too calm, pretending to struggle and twist his body, while occasionally letting out bursts of cries, showing how strongly he was affected by the high-speed flight.

  Liu Yishan was showing off his might, worried that Yi Feng would really fall down and he wouldn't be able to explain it to their master. He released his spiritual energy, and Yi Feng finally didn't have to pretend to be flustered with a shocked expression, even praising Liu for his good cultivation.
