C8 Dark Night Assassination

"Ye Feng, this is my Senior Brother, Zhou Mubai. His talent is very strong, and he is now a Peak of Body Refining Stage strong person."

Song Xinling didn't notice the fleeting change in Zhou Mubai's expression. She introduced him to Ye Feng. It was apparent that Song Xinling respected her Senior Brother very much.

"Ye Feng!"

Ye Feng smiled and cupped his hands to Zhou Mubai to show his friendliness.

"Hello."

Zhou Mubai nodded without smiling. He stood with his hands behind his back, but he did not return the greeting.

"Thank you for taking care of my Junior Sister these past days! If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Zhou Residence to find me at any time."

Zhou Mubai said magnanimously. He looked very elegant. He was like a superior being compared to most other people.

However, Zhou Mubai did have the ability to be one. Perhaps he was a genius, but Ye Feng was just a nobody in his eyes. Naturally, he wouldn't attach too much importance to him.

Song Xinling seemed to have noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere. She hurriedly said to Wang Loong, who was beside her, "Wang Loong, Ye Feng also wants to participate in the Tianxuan Mansion recruitment test. When the time comes, perhaps you can go with Ye Feng."

Wang Loong's gaze fell on Ye Feng. He sized him up. A trace of contempt flashed across his eyes as he mimicked her words, "Wang Loong, Ye Feng also wants to participate in the Tianxuan Mansion enrollment test. When the time comes, perhaps you can go with Ye Feng." Then he became more somber. "Junior Sister Song, you really know how to joke. He is only a Fifth Layer of Body Refining Stage Cultivation Level. He might not even be able to pass the first round. If he goes, he will be eliminated. What's the point?"

Wang Loong's words were full of mockery. Obviously, he didn't think much of Ye Feng, who was a Fifth Layer of Body Refining Stage Cultivation Level. "There are many demonic beasts in Emerald Mountain Range. I really don't know if it is someone like him who will take care of Junior Sister Song or Junior Sister Song who will take care of him."

"If he goes with us during the examination, wouldn't he be a burden to us?"

Wang Loong did not care about Ye Feng's presence. His words were full of contempt. After all, the Fifth Layer of Body Refining Stage Cultivation Level was indeed a little low. Ye Feng's level couldn't compare with Wang Loong's.

"Wang Loong, what are you talking about? Ye Feng's strength is not as weak as you think."

Song Xinling's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her face darkened.

Wang Loong smiled coldly and didn't say anything.

"Aren't you a bit too assuming? I have never said that I want to participate in the exam with you."

Ye Feng frowned. Wang Loong wasn't very friendly to him, so he naturally wanted to give back the same treatment. Ye Feng never liked to be bullied by others.

"Besides, I really don't understand. Where did your superiority come from, Seventh Layer of Body Refining Stage? You only cultivated a few days earlier than me."

Ye Feng continued to speak coldly. After that, his eyes softened as he looked at Song Xinling and cupped his hands. "Miss Song, since you have reunited with your Senior Brother, I will take my leave now. I hope we will have the chance to meet again."

After saying that, Ye Feng turned around abruptly and left without waiting for Song Xinling to speak.

Wang Loong was an arrogant person who looked down on Ye Feng. In fact, Zhou Mubai also looked down on Ye Feng. It was only because of his deep thoughts that he did not directly express his dislike for Ye Feng like Wang Loong did.

Ye Feng was not a fool. He had seen what they thought of him. Therefore, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

The only person he knew was Song Xinling. Ye Feng did not care how others treated him.

"Who is this young man? He actually dared to offend Wang Loong. His courage is really big!"

In the restaurant, the crowd was engaged in a heated discussion. They had witnessed the exchange of words between Ye Feng and Wang Loong. Ye Feng didn't give Wang Loong any face at all.

"Wang Loong, you are going too far. I just wanted to introduce you to a friend, but you actually spoke in such a manner!"

Song Xinling was annoyed when she saw Ye Feng leave. Previously, she had promised Ye Feng to temporarily stay at Zhou Mubai's house, but now it seemed like she was going to go back on her words.

"I am only telling the truth. That Ye Feng's Cultivation Level is really not that good. Junior Sister Song, why are you so angry?"

Wang Loong said with a cold smile, as if he couldn't care less about what he had just done.

"I think you are too concerned about that guy. Don't tell me that you have a good impression of him? Don't forget, you are engaged to Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou!"

Wang Loong's eyes were filled with ridicule as he glared at Song Xinling.

Zhou Mubai, Song Xinling, and he were once siblings of the same sect. However, Song Xinling had robbed Wang Loong of a lot of resources. Therefore, Wang Loong had held a grudge against Song Xinling even before.

"Wang Loong, you are shameless!"

Song Xinling's pretty face was filled with disdain. Her delicate body trembled slightly. She and Ye Feng were just ordinary friends, and she did not betray Zhou Mubai!

"Emerald Mountain Range is desolate and uninhabited, and you guys have been alone for ten days. Who knows what could have happened?"

Wang Loong sneered, and his words were full of malice.

Song Xinling's delicate body shook, and she stared at Wang Loong furiously. She didn't know what Wang Loong's intentions were, and why he wanted to slander her.

The crowd in the restaurant were avidly listening to their exchange. They all had lively expressions as they started discussing among themselves.

It had been almost ten days since they travelled alone, and Song Xinling was so beautiful. No matter who it was, he would find it difficult to resist her. After Wang Loong's analysis, everyone was discussing this matter with interest.

"Don't say anymore. Let's go back!"

After hearing Wang Loong's words, Zhou Mubai's face became disturbed.

Although he trusted Song Xinling a lot, Wang Loong's words inevitably left a mark in Zhou Mubai's mind.

When the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Zhou Mubai's attitude towards Song Xinling changed. Not only did he not pay much attention to Song Xinling, but his tone was also no longer as warm as before.

This made Song Xinling somewhat upset. Did her Senior Brother really not believe her?

Ye Feng naturally was oblivious about what had happened in the restaurant. He found an inn to stay alone and rest a while. Tomorrow would be the Tianxuan Mansion's recruitment test. During this period of time, Ye Feng had to adjust himself to his best condition.

The Zhou Family was one of the four big families in Imperial City. It had a deep foundation and a high status in the society.

The Zhou Family was in a luxuriously decorated room.

Zhou Mubai and Wang Loong were both in this room. Song Xinling was not with them.

"Have you investigated that Ye Feng's identity?"

Zhou Mubai half-laid on the soft bed and asked a subordinate. In Zhou Mubai's arms was an attractive female who was wearing revealing clothes.

After experiencing the scene in the restaurant earlier that day, Zhou Mubai's expression remained gloomy. His fiancee had spent more than ten days alone with a strange man in Emerald Mountain Range. How could he tolerate this?

"Reporting to young master, this man is just an unknown person from the Youzhou. Now, he has already checked into the Feng Lai Inn."

The subordinate bowed and said.

"Feng Lai Inn."

Zhou Mubai narrowed his eyes and his body emitted a malevolent aura. He said, "I don't want this man to see the sun tomorrow."

Zhou Mubai's eyes were cold. The aura that his body exuded was even more evil. His voice was calm, but it was filled with cold murderous intent.

"Leave this matter to me."

Wang Loong had a hateful smile on his face as he volunteered.

"Alright, go!"

Zhou Mubai nodded at Wang Loong. With Wang Loong out to get him, Ye Feng would definitely die!

After that, Wang Loong and the subordinate left the room.

"Young Master Zhou, you are so annoying. You have a beauty like Miss Song as your fiancée and yet you still came to find me!"

Zhou Mubai laughed wickedly. He pinched the female's sensitive part with his fingers and said, "It is very normal for a man to have a concubine. My status is noble. As long as I continue to like women, they will take the initiative to throw themselves at me. So what if Junior Sister knows about my relationship with you?"

"Ye Feng is just a little bastard who came from the mountains. How can he compete with me for a woman? Even if he really did not do anything to Junior Sister, I still want him to die without a burial ground!"

Zhou Mubai said coldly. He was the young master of the Zhou Family in Imperial City, and his status was respected. He could have any woman he wanted, and even if he wanted to take someone else's life, he had never failed.

Ye Feng and Song Xinling had been travelling together in the Emerald Mountain Range for a few days, and this matter had touched Zhou Mubai's pride. Therefore, Zhou Mubai wanted Ye Feng to die.

At the Feng Lai Inn room, Ye Feng sat cross-legged. His body was wrapped in layers of Light of Elemental Energy. Dark green beads were floating in the void, and elemental energy kept pouring into his body.

All of a sudden, the sound of someone stepping on the roof of the room could be heard.

Ye Feng withdrew his energy immediately and kept the beads at the same time.

With a loud sound, the ceiling of the inn was broken open and several figures rushed into the room. They held long knives in their hands and wore nightclothes. Their faces were covered by a black mask. The pairs of eyes that were visible revealed cold murderous intent. They quickly surrounded Ye Feng.

"Kill!"

Without saying much, the aura on the bodies of the men in black radiated. The long knives in their hands slashed wildly at Ye Feng's body. Their intent to kill him was obvious.

Suddenly, endless blade lights sparkled and enveloped Ye Feng's body.

Ye Feng's expression was cold. The Dragon Guts Silver Spear in his hand released a terrifying cold light. He waved both of his arms and unleashed a frenzied Army Obliteration attack.

The sound of weapons colliding rang out. Under Ye Feng's vicious attack, several strong persons retreated. Two strong person's lives were taken away by that terrifying spear light immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Feng leapt out of the inn. He followed the roof to the street below and escaped.

"Chase him!"

The leader had an enraged expression. One by one, the men in black jumped out of the room and chased after Ye Feng along the street.

"Who would want to kill me?"

The question popped up in Ye Feng's mind. A cold chill travelled down his spine. He had just arrived in Imperial City, and it seemed like he hadn't come into contact with any outsiders yet, but he had already encountered an attempt on his life!

In front of him, a dozen or so black-clothed figures were already waiting to ambush him. When they saw Ye Feng approach, all of the black-clothed figures pulled out their long knives.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the blade body's refracted light was exceptionally dazzling. However, the light was incomparably cold.

"Attack together, and kill him for me!"

An ice-cold voice sounded from the black-clothed leader's mouth. At the same time, the black-clothed men chasing Ye Feng from behind also arrived.

Three of them attacked Ye Feng simultaneously. A terrifying blade light bloomed and covered the entire space.

"Flood Dragon into the Sea!"

After his loud shout, the Dragon Guts Silver Spear in Ye Feng's hand shot out terrifying sparks. In an instant, a dragon's roar could be heard. It was like a stormy sea, violent and overbearing. It instantly engulfed the attacking three men.
