Since then, the cultivation resources he could obtain were significantly reduced compared to before, and when he traveled to various places trying to accomplish things, people no longer showed him the sa respect.
Even the direct disciples cultivated by a few uncles from the Xuanyin Sect, cousins or relatives, no longer treated him as closely, and even his grandfather started distributing things that should have belonged to him to other brothers and sisters!
The number of attendants responsible for looking after him decreased from four to two; in the past, he even had an old servant at the Nascent Soul Stage accompanying him, skillful and resourceful, who could speak well; it was said that he previously served the eldest uncle.
And now?
"Jiang Feng probably already escaped from Dongliang City... most likely, he’s aware of the news that we are battling the Purple Cloud Demon Palace nearby, so he then..."
Glancing at the man kneeling on one knee before him, he wished he could kick him on the spot.
Unable to speak clearly, even when there’s an ergency he doesn’t know how to prioritize, only repeating trivial words.
Swish—
And there was movent outside the door again, another figure rushed in, also kneeling on one knee.
"Young Master, Jiang Feng has been traveling for at least two days, the one in Dongliang City now is a fake, a paperman; he intends to use this deception to join up with the remaining Purple Cloud Palace defectors."
The cold expression softened sowhat.
Among the two attendants, one was foolish, but the other seed relatively normal-minded, hence he nodded.
"Xuan Hu, you speak."
"Yes."
Directly pulling out a piece of satin with various characters outlined in gold thread on it, he unhesitatingly spoke.
"Upon hearing rumors in the city, we imdiately sought disciples heading towards Dongliang City to verify the situation. Upon breaking into Jiang Feng’s temporary residence, we found he had long vanished, leaving only a paperman."
"Another piece of information ca from probing other sects; we found the initial spreader of this rumor, a disciple from the Joyful Sect, who also reportedly ca from the Dongliang direction."
"Thus, we spent so cost to inquire many things from him, he claid to have seen Jiang Feng before, and said Jiang Feng was already vigilant at that ti, very likely discovering he was being followed."
"So Jiang Feng should know he’s in danger, hence deliberately leaving a paperman to draw attention, planning to join up with the remaining Purple Cloud Palace defectors."
"Young Master, he likely got the news, after all, we’ve been dealing with the other disciples from Purple Cloud Palace here for several days, they presumably have so special ans of communication, knowing that you are about to head south to take his life."
"Otherwise he wouldn’t flee so hastily."
The expression remained icy cold, but the deanor softened considerably.
Talking with fools was indeed painful, you could tell from Xuan Yinzi’s chaleon-like face, but he seed to have realized sothing, imdiately standing up.
"At least two days have passed? Isn’t he about to join up with the Purple Cloud Palace defectors? How can we kill him like this!"
"Young Master, please calm your anxiety, they haven’t joined yet, rather they are far from it."
Seeing the Young Master standing up, Xuan Hu also stood up, slightly bending over, and said with great respect: "You may not know, Fish City is a thousand miles from Dongliang, even Nascent Soul Stage experts can’t reach it in two days, not to ntion a kid at the initial Core Formation Stage."
"Even if he has enough stamina, the distance to Fish City is at least three hundred miles left, the Young Master has ample ti to consider."
"We have disciples monitoring the Purple Cloud Demon Palace continuously, they haven’t shown any abnormal behavior, nor sent anyone to respond, which indicates either they are unaware that Jiang Feng has actively sought their protection."
"Or, the distance is too great for them to respond, but now that we’ve intercepted the news, Young Master, what do you think..."
The words carried a hint of suggestion.
Xuan Yinzi didn’t respond imdiately, just glanced at these two attendants, the one speaking was nad Xuan Hu, though his realm was rely mid-Core Formation, clearly he had good sense, ideal material for a servant.
The other was Xuan Niu, true to his na, extrely clumsy, but stronger in terms of power, he follows the path of Body Cultivation, able to stand in front at critical monts.
Suppressing the anger underneath, the best way for a dissolute young master to grow is for him to no longer receive attention and affection from the family, people grow quickly in such tis.
Standing at the window, he cald down and started pacing back and forth.
"How many people know about this news now?"
"Only the Young Master, we two know, other sect disciples are unaware, they continue to advance, constantly pressuring the Purple Cloud Palace defectors."
"Good, very good, given such..."
Xuan Yinzi already had the answer in his heart.
Just as Jiang Feng said, he had no choice.
"We shall take the initiative to intercept him and kill him there!"
The last four words were sonorous and forceful, surprising even the two attendants.
With a confident smile on his face, Xuan Yinzi was neither the traditional muscular type, nor a gentleman appearing refined, but rather he had a kind of more sinister elegance.
Swinging his long, slender fingers, he took out a folding fan and unfolded it, beginning to fan the cold wind, though fanning in such cold weather was purely nonsensical, it did fit the deanor.
"Jiang Feng cos to us willingly, there is no reason to let him slip away."
"This little bastard is clever, trying to play tricks under my nose, but unfortunately, he still showed a flaw."
"He ca running here, simply hearing the wind and knowing I plan to seek trouble for him, so he went all out to join the remaining demon palace defectors, what does this indicate?"
"It indicates he himself understands he’s a waste, apart from sect’s protection, he’s nothing."
He sneered coldly.
Lightly tapping the folding fan in his hand, he was full of confidence.
"Previously, rumors were rampant outside, saying how demonic and talented he was, but the facts laid bare here, rely a kid who just broke through to the Core Formation Stage, how capable can he be even if he’s very skilled?"
"If he were truly capable, there’s no need for him to hide and dodge like this, if he truly joins the remaining Purple Cloud Palace defectors, there might not be a better chance to act afterward."
"You two, lead the way, we need not waste ti here anymore, let’s depart imdiately."
Resolute decision.
Actually, his judgnt had no errors, but Xuan Hu was still very cautious in reminding.
"Young Master, although Jiang Feng’s cultivation is indeed low, but you’ve been assisting sect disciples to escape peril for two consecutive days, wouldn’t it be better to rest for half a day before setting off? Ti-wise it should still..."
"Ignorant."
Cutting off the opportunity for the other to finish talking.
"If during this half a day that brute joins the demon palace, what then? If the demon palace gets breathing space to send soone to respond, what then? If during this half a day we lose track, wouldn’t it be in vain?"
"Though I have not rested, does Jiang Feng traveling still get to rest?"
"Xuan Hu, you need to train harder, enjoying this mont of peace makes one prone to overthinking."
Bending slightly, with a fawning smile, especially seeing the Young Master’s triumphant figure pointing towards the scenery, full of respect and admiration on his face.
This is the highest level of flattery.
Actually, he understood everything in his heart, but at tis like this, it’s crucial to highlight the Young Master’s wise and decisive nature, only thus can one maximally satisfy his vanity.
One must admit, those who’ve crawled up from the social bottom have more cunning, imdiately moving forward leading the way, but at this mont Xuan Hu thought of sothing very important.
A hesitant expression appeared.
"Young Master, if that vile woman from Swordmaster Peak follows, how should we deal with it?"
"Oh? You really think I ca alone?"
A strange smile appeared on the face.
"Grandfather has arrangents, even if that vile Liu woman is formidable, can her two fists defeat four hands? Lead the way..."
Jingling—
While planning to quietly leave the city for an ambush on the way, the group didn’t notice, the whistling wind they stirred upon exiting the inn started ringing the wind chis.
All the way until they left the city, the faint sound remained persistent in their ears, lingering for a long ti unswervingly.
