After quite some time had passed,
Xu Dong finally managed to calm his emotions. Earlier, his mobile phone had been taken away by Sun Wei and Sun Feihu.
He approached the pair of brothers and retrieved a mobile phone from Sun Feihu, "Honestly, I have to thank you guys. If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't have encountered my master tonight. You both will receive your just desserts."
Now in Wuzhou City,
most of the brothers who had supported Xu Dong had been sent to expand the industry in neighboring cities, a move orchestrated by Sun Wei and Sun Feihu. As these two usually seemed the most loyal to Xu Dong, no one suspected anything.
After thinking for a bit,
Xu Dong dialed a number. Once the call connected, he said with a heavy voice, "Bao, is there anyone with you right now? Just listen to me without making a fuss, got it?"
After much consideration, Bao was the only brother he could still trust. The situation here needed to be dealt with.
And those internally who supported Sun Wei and Sun Feihu also had to be thoroughly purged this time.
After Bao had responded, Xu Dong briefly recounted the situation to him.
According to Sun Wei and Sun Feihu's plan, Xu Dong was to vanish from Wuzhou without a trace, unsuspectingly.
As his best friends, they would naturally take over all his industries in due course, and almost no one would suspect them.
Too bad they foolishly tangled with Shen Feng, which led to the failure of their plan tonight.
After finishing the call, Xu Dong respectfully said to Shen Feng, "Master, someone will soon take care of this mess. Have you found a place to stay in Wuzhou yet? Let me arrange accommodation for you tonight; we'll wait here for a moment."
Shen Feng nodded his head.
Having accepted this registered disciple, he was no longer declining the help.
Sun Wei and Sun Feihu were engulfed in despair, knowing they were thoroughly doomed this time.
About half an hour later,
dazzling headlights appeared from a distance, and a sedan stopped outside the woods. Then, five people got out of the car and quickly entered the forest.
The one leading the way was a seventeen-year-old youth with a carefree dress and demeanor. He rushed over to Xu Dong and exclaimed, "Old man, you all right?"
The youth was Xu Dong's son, Xu Wenxing, who was attending a private high school in Wuzhou.
Perhaps from hanging out with ruffians, he had naturally picked up some bad habits.
A middle-aged man who came in right after had a fierce leopard tattooed on his arm. He hurriedly said, "Brother Dong, when you called me, Wenxing just happened to be by my side, and he insisted on coming over."
Xu Dong nodded, showing no signs of blaming, "Bao, you take Sun Wei and the others away and deal with them."
Xu Wenxing looked at Sun Wei and Sun Feihu on the ground and furiously kicked at them without hesitation, "What trash? You owe what you have today to my old man, and yet you dare to pull such a stunt?"
Xu Dong intervened, "Enough, they will get the punishment they deserve. Let Bao take them away."
After two more unsatisfied kicks, Xu Wenxing stopped cursing and kicking, "Such people should be chopped up and thrown into the river to feed the fishes."
Bao ordered the three men behind him, "Throw them into the car."
Then, he said to Xu Dong, "Brother Dong, I've arranged a special car for you. It should be here in about two minutes. I'll go handle these dogs first."
Xu Dong waved his hand as a sign for Bao and the others to leave. He didn't introduce Shen Feng to Bao, knowing someone like his master wouldn't appreciate too much attention.
Bao wasn't the type to talk much. Seeing that Brother Dong hadn't offered an explanation, he didn't wonder about Shen Feng's identity any longer.
After Bao and his men had left,
Xu Dong turned to Xu Wenxing and said, "Wenxing, this is my master, which makes him your grandmaster. Aren't you going to greet your grandmaster?"
He hadn't introduced Shen Feng to Bao, which was understandable,
but Xu Wenxing was his own son, and some courtesies could not be neglected, especially in front of such an Immortal-like figure.
Xu Wenxing, with a defiant face, had been sizing up Shen Feng when suddenly he heard his father's words. He thought something was wrong with his ears, "Old man, what did you say?"
Shen Feng, despite his ragged clothes, appeared to be only in his twenties, and his visage even seemed to grow younger due to his cultivation.
"Smack!"
Xu Dong's palm hit the back of Xu Wenxing's head as he sternly said, "You brat, can't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to call him Grandmaster! This is your Grandmaster, do you understand now?"
Xu Wenxing had never seen his father so serious before, but calling someone just a few years older than himself Grandmaster?
He was already rebellious by nature, how could he bring himself to say it?
Xu Dong's face darkened, "Wenxing, if you're not willing to call, then from today onward, you're no longer my son."
Shen Feng casually waved his hand: "Xu Dong, let it be! Our master-disciple relationship need not involve others."
Xu Dong glared fiercely at Xu Wenxing.
Then, more light started coming in from outside, apparently someone was there to pick up Xu Dong and the others.
But just at that moment.
Shen Feng furrowed his brows and said, "Xu Dong, tell the people coming to pick you up not to come in, have them stay put in the vehicle."
Naturally, Xu Dong would not go against his master's words, so he went out, gave the instructions, and then hurried back in: "Master, I've told them as you instructed."
Xu Wenxing was extremely annoyed inside, watching this guy, who was barely two years older than him, ordering his own father around so casually, and his father was actually scurrying about happily; he muttered to himself, "What kind of spell has the old man been put under? Who exactly is this guy?"
Xu Dong had not mentioned what had happened here, and over the phone, he had only briefly stated that he had been chased by Sun Wei and others, and that in the end Sun Wei and his group were taken down. He did not reveal anything about Shen Feng's divine skills since he needed to keep his master's secrets.
Xu Wenxing was not brainless, thinking of the number of men Sun Wei had, and that his father had survived; could it be this guy who had made a move?
But even if this guy was skilled in combat, did his father really need to take him as a master?
Too weird!
All of this was too weird!
Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Dong wasn't paying attention, Xu Wenxing approached Shen Feng and said in a very low voice, "Kid, stop playing tricks, you can't fool anyone for long."
Shen Feng simply ignored Xu Wenxing.
He had just sensed the aura of spiritual medicine in the air, which was very much like that of Purple Leaf Grass.
Purple Leaf Grass was a low-tier spirit grass that grew in the Immortal Realm, but for Shen Feng right now, it was exactly what he needed.
This type of Purple Leaf Grass grew inside trees, usually concealing its aura completely, and only emitted the aura of spiritual medicine at specific times in the evening.
Shen Feng calculated the time and now was precisely when the Purple Leaf Grass would emit its aura; it seemed his senses weren't wrong, there was Purple Leaf Grass here.
After sensing it for a while.
Shen Feng walked towards a towering tree, a tree so large it likely would take several people to wrap their arms around it.
Seeing Shen Feng's inexplicable behavior, Xu Wenxing sneered: "Old man, have you been fooled? This kid..."
But before Xu Wenxing could finish speaking.
Just as Xu Dong was about to scold his tactless son.
Shen Feng threw a punch straight at the towering tree right in front of him.
"Bang!"
"Crack! Crack! Crack!——"
A muffled sound echoed through the night, followed by an intricate web of cracks appearing on the towering tree.
Then another "Bang!"
The trunk of the towering tree quickly shattered, the whole tree falling to the ground, its main trunk broken beyond recognition.
Shen Feng looked at the main trunk he had shattered, where a purple plant was clearly growing inside, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Xu Dong from not too far away could still somewhat accept this, after all, he had come to regard Shen Feng as an immortal-like figure.
But Xu Wenxing was completely dumbfounded. What was this all about?
To have a towering tree blasted open like that, and to have the tree shatter into pieces on the ground?
This couldn't be a movie set, right?
Such power simply wasn't within human reach.
Xu Wenxing had always greatly revered power, and his eyes suddenly shone with an intense glow.
"Thump!" went the sound.
He knelt down directly to Shen Feng: "Esteemed grandmaster, please receive a bow from your disciple!"
