Great Swordsman

Ch.4 - Tang Guan's

“The person.”

Xu Feng's face turned grim as he stared at Ma Tao's increasingly distant back.

“Not wrong again, he must have intervened in a previous assassination plot!”

Xu Feng muttered softly, his gaze turning cold. Xu Feng was already convinced that the person had a hand in it. But he did not take immediate action.

The reason was simple - the emblem on Ma Tao's clothes.

“Family Ma..”

“Although not one of the three great families, the Ma family is also still a strong family in the town of Batu Hitam.”

“I can't be rash. For now, I don't need to come into direct contact with that Ma Tao.”

Xu Feng reminded himself to be more careful. He still had a way to dig up information without going through Ma Tao.

The one who told him the rumors regarding the spiritual flower was one of the outer disciples of the Lotus Sect. Xu Feng knew that person a little and knew that he did not come from a strong family background. That person was just an ordinary person, just like Xu Feng.

According to Xu Feng, interrogating that person was much safer than having to go through Ma Tao.

“You think life is worthless huh.?”

Xu Feng's eyes let out a sharp glint as he continued walking. He was completely fed up with people looking down on one's life.

Xu Feng continued walking and a while later he stood dazed in front of the entrance gate of the Lotus Sect. He was somewhat stunned by the sight that was presented in his eyes.

From where he stood, the majestic mountains of the lotus sect displayed a true figure.

From the bottom of the earth, the mountain stood so majestic and one of its peaks even towered through the clouds.

“It.. It seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?”

Xu Feng muttered softly, his eyes blankly staring at the highest mountain peak.

The Lotus Sect consisted of three mountains that stood parallel to the back. Each mountain divided the sect into three areas.

The first mountain is the mountain that has the largest area but the shortest of the three. This mountain was an outer area, a place where outer disciples of the Lotus Sect lived.

It was in this area that Xu Feng's hut stood.

The second mountain is slightly smaller than the first mountain but higher. This mountain was an inner area, where disciples within the Lotus Sect settled.

The last mountain is the smallest but its height is remarkable. Xu Feng could barely even see the peak. It was the core of the Lotus Sect because it was a place where the core elders and sect masters lived.

It could be said that the mountain was the heart and pillar of the Lotus Sect.

Various cultivation books and high-level techniques were also stored in this place, and became the most valuable legacy of the Lotus Sect. There were very few people who could enter the core area. Those who had set foot in the core area were undoubtedly the ones with high status.

From the outer mountain to the core mountain, there is a white golden staircase built to connect the three mountains. The ladder was mounted straight from the first mountain then to the second mountain until it reached the third mountain.

Each staircase even has a silver dragon statue on each side.

“Really, they really like to burn money!!”

Xu Feng felt somewhat overwhelmed. Compared to his memory, seeing him directly had a huge visual impact.

When Xu Feng was busy in his daydream, the guard who was patrolling saw him standing puzzled and immediately called out to him.

“Heii, how long will you stand like a madman there!?”

Xu Feng gasped in shock and scratched his head timidly “Ahahah, sorry senior. I only feel shocked whenever I see the majesty of our sect.”

The guard snorted lightly. There was a sense of pride in his tone “Of course, no one could match the prowess and grandeur of the Lotus Sect. Those who do not belong to the sect are only weak people.”

“And also.. What do you mean by our sect?”

The guard immediately realized something was wrong with Xu Feng's words.

“This humble Junior greets senior!”

Xu Feng took out a token from his pocket, causing the guard to feel astonished “I think you are an outsider who is visiting the Lotus Sect, it turns out that it is our fellow. I can't recognize your clothes”

The guard returned the token to Xu Feng while patting him on the shoulder. There was a hint of pity and nostalgia in his voice

“No need to rush. Strength is important, but safety is also important. All your efforts will only be in vain if you die too soon”

“Well come on, you need to change your clothes!”

The guard patted Xu Feng on the shoulder before continuing his duties.

“Thank you for the suggestion senior.”

Xu Feng nodded in understanding and bowed deeply before walking towards his hut.

Although the outer area mountain was the shortest, it was still very high. Climbing every rung of stairs endlessly must be very tiring. Xu Feng was even breathless and almost out of breath when he arrived on top of the mountain.

“I really need to increase my strength. Imagining climbing this mountain every day has made me want to vomit.”

“It would be better if I could already fly.”

Xu Feng cursed low and inhaled as much air as possible. Then, with his body exhausted, he dragged himself towards his hut.

A few outer disciples noticed Xu Feng's weak body and began to whisper to each other between them. Some men pointed at her with jealous faces, thinking that Xu Feng must be lucky to spend a day with a woman to make her tired.

Xu Feng did not care about the gazes from the disciples, he only wanted to return to his hut as quickly as possible.

It remains one month before the three-year deadline expires. If he did not reach the second stage of the mortal realm before that time came, he would have to leave the Lotus Sect.

Xu Feng certainly did not want to. According to him, the Lotus Sect was the best place that could contain it. There were many resources that could support his cultivation as long as he could accentuate himself.

Of course, the premise is that one can stand out.

“See who's back!!”

A young man suddenly patted Xu Feng on the back. His voice sounded so loud.

Xu Feng was surprised. He was unaware of the young man's arrival. He could not even hear his footsteps.

When Xu Feng turned around and saw who the young man was, his face instantly turned grim ”Tang Guan, what are you doing here?”

“Wohh what's with that scary face buddy?”

“Hahaha calm yourself. I just came to take what I was supposed to take, didn't I?

Tang Guan grinned widely, the look in his eyes showing contempt and ridicule. His burly, tall body almost blocked Xu Feng's field of view.

Different from his expectations, the way Xu Feng replied was beyond his expectations.

“Don't get too over Tang Guan's line, I've already paid you for this month!”

Highlight Xu Feng's eyes turned cold like a poisonous snake, causing Tang Guan to shiver in fear. He had never seen such a frightening look.

“You, it seems like a coward like you has started to dare!”

Tang Guan gulped down his saliva and immediately turned furious. The Xu Feng in his mind was a timid and timid person. Whenever he threatened her, the child would always be frightened and follow his every whim.

He certainly does not accept being treated by people who are inferior to him.

“Fear? Tang Guan, it seems you've misunderstood all along. I've never been afraid of you, I just pity to see you become someone else's dog!”

Xu Feng seemed to understand Tang Guan's thoughts and his voice became increasingly cold.

“You.. Just wait!” Tang Guan gritted his teeth furiously before leaving Xu Feng. He wanted to hit Xu Feng but in the end did not do so.

After all, wild fights were forbidden within the sect. If there was a problem, one needed to solve it within the arena.

Xu Feng instead ignored Tang Guan's bluff. Although Tang Guan's strength was one stage higher than his, Xu Feng was not worried.

Sooner or later, he'll get past it.

The only problem was the person behind Tang Guan, Ye Fenfang. That person had already reached the third stage of the mortal realm. One more stage and he could be promoted to an inner disciple.
