Chapter 27 The show is about to begin
When Yue Feng asked Chen Ji, he learned that not long after he left, the ronin of the Fusang Society attacked the Lin residence.
The Fusang Association only sent low-level thugs, who were no match for Chen Ji's swift blade. If Chen Ji hadn't sent a few ronin to train Lin Pingzhi, these men wouldn't have been enough to fill Chen Ji's teeth.
Lin Pingzhi leaned closer, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Mr. Yue! The knife and sword techniques that Brother Chen taught me are really effective! I'm just a beginner, and I've already killed three enemies with them."
Chen Ji snorted, "That was just luck. Your swordsmanship... is impure; you need to practice more. From now on, draw your sword three thousand times, extend it three thousand times, and sheathe it three thousand times every day. This is the foundation; you can't be careless, understand?"
"Yes, I heard you!" Lin Pingzhi answered loudly.
Yue Feng clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself, "What kind of devilish training is this?" He shook his head and led Chen Ji and the others to the secret room.
He used the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Finger technique on Chunniang, but still couldn't get any useful information out of her. Frustrated, a surge of anger welled up inside him. He suppressed it with the Demon-Slaying and Righteousness-Revealing Technique, and then heard Lin Zhennan say:
"We've already fallen out with the Fusang Association, and I doubt they'll let us take that delivery mission we agreed on before. What should we do next?"
Yue Feng thought for a moment, figuring that the people of the Swallow Sect were incredibly capable and might be of some help. So, he left Chen Ji behind as usual and returned alone to his superior room at the Immortal Abode. He found the room empty, with a note on the table bearing Li Yunshang's elegant handwriting:
"My master and I went to inspect the land. We'll be back later. Don't worry. I miss you."
Yue Feng stared at the last two words on the note, "I miss you," for a long time. Just as he put the note down, the door creaked open, and Li Yunshang's slender and graceful figure appeared in the doorway.
"Brother Yue, you're back?"
Hearing the boundless tenderness in Li Yunshang's cries, Yue Feng felt a nameless lust reignite within him. He pulled Li Yunshang into the room, closed the door, and before he could even undress, he pinned her against the wall and began to do as he pleased.
The two made love until past midnight before finally going to bed. Li Yunshang asked timidly, "Brother Yue, did something unpleasant happen today?"
Yue Feng said apologetically, "Good girl, did I hurt you?"
Li Yunshang nodded, then shook her head.
Yue Feng hugged Li Yunshang tightly and told her about the Fusang Society. Li Yunshang's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "What a coincidence! The Fusang Society is the very thing we've been eyeing."
Yue Feng said "Oh?" and asked for details. Li Yunshang said, "The reason for this is that we heard that the Fusang Association wanted to entrust the Fuwei Escort Agency with a shipment, and we were keeping an eye on this shipment. We heard that the shipment location was Chenjia Village, so we went to Chenjia Village to investigate today."
Yue Feng asked, "How is Chenjia Village?"
Li Yunshang shook her head, her face pale.
"It's very bad. The area was ravaged by Japanese pirates, leaving nine out of ten houses empty, with only the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled barely surviving. We didn't encounter any Japanese pirates there, but we did run into a few disciples of the Qingcheng Sect. Master said he doesn't know if the Qingcheng Sect has gotten involved with the Fusang Association. If they have, then we're in big trouble."
Yue Feng thought to himself, "If the Qingcheng Sect really dares to collude with the Fusang Society, then we should wipe them out together. That would save us a lot of trouble." Feeling drowsy, he and Li Yunshang fell asleep together.
The following morning, Lin Zhennan personally came over and invited Yue Feng into a private room. He told Yue Feng that the Fusang Association had sent people to question him that morning, ordering them to hand over the bodies of Kato and the others, and to provide financial compensation to the victims' families. Otherwise, the Fusang Association would fight the Lin family to the death.
"From what they're saying, it seems like as long as I pay them money, this matter will be over, and they'll even ask me to transport that shipment again. Mr. Yue, it's quite clear now that this shipment is a trap. It's just a matter of whether we fall for it or not."
"Jump!" Yue Feng was worried about not being able to find the Fusang Society members. "How much money do they want? Pay up! Wipe out the Fusang Society and make them cough up everything they owe."
Lin Zhennan accepted the order and left. Yue Feng returned to his room and told Li Yunshang about the arrangements made by the Lin family. Just then, Yan Xingyun and Zhang Yunfei also arrived at the inn, and the four of them gathered to discuss the matter. Yue Feng said:
"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots. My only concern is the chairman of the Fusang Association. As long as we can root him out, the remaining underlings will be no match for us."
Yan Xingyun said, "The matter in Chenjia Village has caused quite a stir. I think the president of the Fusang Association will be there in person. I'll be responsible for finding him then, and you can handle the rest."
Yue Feng and the other two agreed in unison. Zhang Yunfei and Yan Xingyun left together. Yue Feng and Li Yunshang had nothing to do for the time being, so they went into their room to contemplate the profound Dao together.
Several days passed, and the day arrived for the escort mission agreed upon by the Fuwei Escort Agency and the Fusang Society. Yue Feng ordered Chen Ji to disguise himself as a porter and accompany Lin Zhennan and his son to Min County, while he, Zhang Yunfei, and Li Yunshang went to Chenjia Village first.
Zhang Yunfei had rented a small courtyard in the village in advance. Since most of the houses there were empty, it cost him almost nothing. The three of them chatted and drank tea in the courtyard while waiting for the Fuwei Escort Agency's caravan to arrive.
Taking this opportunity, Yue Feng opened the panel and saw that he had 105 access points left. He felt uneasy if he didn't spend them. As the saying goes, "Even last-minute preparations can be effective."
The Giant Spirit Golden Body is now at its peak, but upgrading it to perfection is too expensive, so it's not being considered for the time being. The minor-level Cloud Platform Flight is sufficient for most purposes. Yue Feng's main attack methods are the Sky-Piercing Sword and the Demon-Subduing Palm, both of which are still at the beginner level. After some consideration, he decided to allocate points to the Demon-Subduing Palm first.
[Remaining Access Points: 65]
[Demon-Subduing Palm: Minor Success]
Considering that the remaining 65 access points might not be enough to upgrade the Sky-Piercing Sword to minor mastery, Yue Feng chose the cheaper Evil-Slaying and Righteousness-Revealing Technique. This technique would be extremely useful in a duel against the Fusang Society, which excels in illusions.
[Remaining Access Points: 40]
[The Secret to Overcoming Evil and Revealing Righteousness: The Great Success]
After Yue Feng finished allocating his points, he was about to close the panel when his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique section. Suddenly, he noticed a plus sign lit up next to it. He stared at the plus sign for a long time, then was overjoyed. Seeing that he had 40 points left, he decided to take a gamble and give it up!
[Remaining Access Points: 10]
【Evil-Repelling Sword Technique: Beginner】
In this way, the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique can be fused with the Sky-Piercing Sword Technique. The fusion only requires 10 Access Points, making it the most cost-effective option. Yue Feng continued the process without hesitation.
[Beginning to fuse "One Fusion: Sky-Piercing Sword" and "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique"...]
[Fusion complete. Congratulations on obtaining the new martial art: Second Fusion - Sky-Soaring Demon Sword.]
[Remaining Access Points: 0]
【Second Fusion - Sky-Piercing Demon Sword: Beginner】
The sounds of carriages and horses could be heard in the distance outside the village. Yue Feng turned off the control panel and stood up. Zhang Yunfei and Li Yunshang also stood up. Looking at the setting sun low over the courtyard wall, Yue Feng said to Zhang Yunfei and Li Yunshang, "It's getting dark. The show is about to begin."
It gradually got dark.
