I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

and so--

Whether out of "favor" or "interest", Senior Feng will definitely stand on their side and target Madam Xue II and the external forces she is colluding with.

Soon, a roar and a huge pressure that followed confirmed the guess of the second elder of the Xue family.

"Who bullied the Xue family?"

"Could it be... that they don't know that this tribe is under the protection of someone like me, Feng?"

The voice is clear and not disturbing.

However, when the monks present heard it, it was like a big hand grasping their hearts, making them sweat coldly on their backs and feel difficulty breathing.

This is the combined power of mastering the "laws".

Word by word, the Constitution of Heaven is spoken!

Even though the people had not arrived yet, the sound was enough to seriously injure or even kill all the cultivators present.

"The two juniors... don't dare."

Under heavy pressure, the two Tianpeng Pavilion priests who were responsible for confronting the elders of the Xue family gritted their teeth and decisively admitted defeat.

Whatever plans the cabinet has, they are its own business.

Nowadays, it would be irrational to confront this fusion senior.

As soon as these words fell.

The astonishing momentum that oppressed all the cultivators suddenly disappeared at this moment, and an old man in a hemp robe with white hair and beard and a ferocious face appeared in the air.

"Senior Feng."

"Senior Feng."

Seeing the old man in the hemp robe coming, the second elder of the Xue family and others immediately had a look of joy on their faces and stepped forward to greet him.

This time, with Senior Feng on their side, their "power seizure" will not only be smooth, but also more legitimate.

But Senior Feng was serious about this. He just glanced at the group of Xue family elders and didn't pay much attention to them.

Although Second Madam Xue, who brought foreign enemies and internal strife to the Xue family, was guilty of a heinous crime, he was not so stupid as to think that this group of old Xue family members were harmless.

Before he figured out the reasons behind it, he would not easily support these Xue family elders who belonged to the Xue family branch.

"Who are you? How dare you ignore me, Feng, and get involved in the internal strife of the Xue family?" Senior Feng raised his foot slightly and appeared in front of the two great priests of Tianpeng Pavilion in an instant, and asked in a cold voice.

"This……"

The two great priests of Tianpeng Pavilion looked at each other with anxious expressions, not knowing how to answer this question.

It is not difficult to give out the identity of "Tianpeng Pavilion", but what they are afraid of is that Tianpeng Pavilion will settle the score with them later.

It's not a big deal to give in in front of a powerful being, but it's a problem to "betray" your master without reservation.

"Humph! I have long remembered your faces while in Wanling Fairy City. Even if you two don't tell me, I can guess who ordered you..."

Senior Feng said calmly.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and stretched it forward.

Two magical hands suddenly appeared in front of the two great priests of Tianpeng Pavilion, then they suddenly grasped their necks, pulled them up from the ground and hung them in the air.

"Senior, have mercy on me."

"Senior, have mercy on me..."

The horrible feeling of suffocation and the crisis of impending death immediately frightened the two great priests of Tianpeng Pavilion so much that their faces turned pale and they begged for mercy again and again.

However, Senior Feng turned a deaf ear to this.

“Next, the only one left is this young man in the early stage of refining emptiness in the hall.” Senior Feng turned his head and looked at Wei Tu who was fighting with the great elder of the Xue family in the meeting hall, and murmured.

It’s just that - when he saw this, he frowned subconsciously, his eyes fixed slightly, and he didn’t take action immediately.

"Who is this person who is practicing both Dharma and body?"

Senior Feng frowned greatly.

There are less than a hundred sixth-level body cultivators, considering the huge number of middle and low-level cultivators in the spiritual world.

When converted to Wanling Fairy City, the number is undoubtedly even smaller.

And the cultivators who could ask for reinforcements from Tianpeng Pavilion...

When he thought about it carefully, the only force that had a close relationship with the Lei Peng clan was the Lei Peng clan.

Without exception, a Void Refining cultivator who cultivates both the Dharma body and the body is by no means an ordinary person among these major forces.

Behind him, there must be a powerful being who is very close to him, and he cannot target or humiliate him at will.

Once you take action, I'm afraid you'll make enemies!

Seeing this scene, the second elder of the Xue family and others outside the hall guessed the fear in Senior Feng's heart, and their inner expectations were suddenly dashed. However... they did not dare to urge him and could only keep turning around in a hurry.

"Although Tianpeng Pavilion is big, what can we do if we bully it? As long as we don't hurt this young man."

Senior Feng narrowed his eyes for the sake of saving his face, and immediately summoned his magical power. He raised his hand and reached into the hall, ready to capture Wei Tu.

but--

Right now.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew past.

Senior Feng, who had just raised his hand to cast a spell, was immediately shocked and took several steps back.

"It's you..." Senior Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked up at a young female cultivator wearing a plain white dress and carrying a guqin on her back, who suddenly appeared in the air.

This woman, like him, is in the "early stage of fusion" and is very famous in Wanling Fairy City.

But, the only difference is.

He is a casual cultivator.

Behind this woman stood the Lei Peng clan.

And his elder brother is "Yang Yujun", who is known as the Six Gods of the Spirit World!
In terms of background, he is far inferior to this woman.

"Fairy Yu, may I ask if I have ever offended your Tianpeng Pavilion or the Leipeng clan?" Senior Feng had a grim expression on his face. He flicked his sleeves and asked with a bow.

In his opinion, Fairy Yu "invaded" his forces without prior notice, which inevitably made him suspected of being targeted.

Fairy Yu naturally understood the taboo here and knew the meaning of Senior Feng's question.

She shook her head and explained, "The cultivator in that hall is not from our clan. Tianpeng Pavilion took action this time only because of their invitation. We did not intend to deceive Fellow Daoist Feng."

"Invite?" Senior Feng grasped this key word.

Suddenly, he realized that this conflict was not led by Tianpeng Pavilion, but by the young Lianxu people in the hall, who were the "masterminds" behind all this.

But Senior Feng, who learned of all this, did not let his guard down. Instead, his expression became even more serious.

"Who is this boy? How could he ask Tianpeng Pavilion and Fairy Yu for help?" He took a deep look at Wei Tu, who was "using the weak to defeat the strong" and made it difficult for the great elder of the Xue family to breathe.

Tianpeng Pavilion is fine.

It only takes some spirit crystals to activate it.

But this Fairy Yu is not like that.

This woman has always been pure-hearted and does not easily get involved in external conflicts.

"The Xue's Company is not Fellow Daoist Feng's property. It's just that the ancestors of the Xue family once entrusted Fellow Daoist Feng to help look after it..."

"So, even though this cultivator did not invite Tianpeng Pavilion this time, there is no way to bully Fellow Daoist Feng."

Fairy Yu said again.

Her voice was clear and crisp, and she spoke clearly and logically.

If the assets of Xue's Trading Company belong to Senior Feng, it would be unreasonable for Tianpeng Pavilion to intervene without informing them.

But... since Xue's Business has never been Senior Feng's business, then whether or not to notify him about this "civil strife" is in line with the rules of the underworld.

Although these words were unpleasant to hear, Senior Feng was still a reasonable man. He snorted coldly and did not argue with Fairy Yu any more on this matter.

"Fairy Yu, that's what you said. But can I just watch my old friend's family business fall into the hands of outsiders?"

Senior Feng said in a bad tone.

This was also the reason why he came this time, to side with the elders of the Xue family.

"I can guarantee that the Xue's business will still be called Xue in the future. This young man came here, firstly to respond to the request of the second wife Xue and regain power, and secondly to seek more resources and wealth for him to break through the fusion realm in the future..."

"In terms of industry, I won't covet Xue's business too much."

Fairy Yu chuckled and made a promise.

Upon hearing this, Senior Feng frowned at first. After all, there seemed to be no essential difference between seizing resources and seizing the Xue family's property. But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved.

——The scale of Xue’s Business is not small, but it is not yet big enough that a combined cultivator would go and seize it at all costs.

With the background and potential of the cultivator in the hall, how could he still be greedy for a mere Xue's Trading Company after he breaks through the fusion realm?

"As long as Fairy Yu is telling the truth, I have no objection to this young man temporarily taking over the Xue's business."

Senior Feng said after thinking about it.

From a practical point of view, even if he disagrees at this moment, there is no better solution. It is better to just go with the flow and have the best of both worlds.

However, these words were obviously not what the Xue family elders wanted, and their faces looked as if they had lost their parents.

See this scene.

Senior Feng couldn't help but frown, thinking that this was not good. Although this matter was reasonable and it was the approach with the least loss for him and the Xue family, but... once it was spread, it would inevitably damage his reputation.

People outside would not care whether he considered the overall situation or not. They would only think that he surrendered without a fight after meeting Tianpeng Pavilion and Fairy Yu.

He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the fierce battle in the hall, and immediately said: "However, the internal strife of the Xue family has not yet been decided. Feng can choose not to take action against this young man, but... if this young man wants to truly take down the Xue's business, he must defeat Xue Xiongjun, the great elder of the Xue family!"

If he gave up Xue's business, he would be criticized.

but--

If the elders of the Xue family are not capable of anything themselves, then it cannot be blamed on him at all.

The words fell.

Just now, the faces of the elders of the Xue family, who were still in grief, immediately lit up with hope, because they knew that the great elder of the Xue family who was fighting in the hall still had a trump card that he had not played yet.

"That's right! As long as he can defeat the Great Elder, we are willing to give up power and let Madam take charge of Xue's Company again..."

The second elder of the Xue family immediately expressed his opinion.

He knew clearly that this was the only chance for their elders to continue to hold power.

Besides, even if the Xue family's great elder was defeated, they would have a good reason to surrender.

By then, all the merits and demerits can be pushed onto the Great Elder...

"Yes, I agree."

"Who will take charge of Xue's Company will be decided after the two people in the hall decide the winner."

The other elders of the Xue family also echoed this.

For a time, public opinion was surging.

Fairy Yu, who was standing in the air, raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this. She glanced at the guard map in the hall with her almond-shaped eyes, and after pondering for a while, she agreed with a smile.

"Since Fellow Daoist Feng is interested in this, I will agree on my behalf. He is from the Ten Spirits Clan and has outstanding talent. I think it will not be difficult for him to deal with the Great Elder of the Xue Family..."

Combat power is not the only criterion for judging potential.

However, monks with strong combat power usually have high potential.

Today, Tianpeng Pavilion has helped Wei Tu confront Senior Feng and resisted the "external force" from the fusion level...

Well, now is the time for Wei Tu to perform.

She also didn't want to invest in a "mediocre person" who held her brother's token.

……

"The outcome of the battle in the palace will determine who will take over the Xue's business?"

"Things have returned to the starting point."

Inside the hall, after hearing the conversations of the cultivators outside, the Xue family's Great Elder's face was covered with a layer of gloom, and he felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

The good news is that as long as he wins the battle, the previously determined pattern of "small companies becoming big companies" will not change.

Xue’s Trading Company is still his home ground.

Sadly -

This was his only chance as the weaker party.

It is more like a "test" to give Wei Tu, the "second generation of immortal" with amazing potential, a chance to gain experience.

"Besides, if I fail, not only will my power be lost...but even my life will be in danger."

The Xue family's eldest elder pondered secretly.

Rebellion has a price.

In order to maintain the "prosperity" of the Xue's business, Wei Tu and Mrs. Xue II would not kill all the elders of the Xue family, but "only killing the main culprit" was almost inevitable.

He is not like Master Ji Dan either.

He doesn't have any magical skill that can be exploited to become a cash cow for Xue's company!
"Fortunately, I still have this 'True Talisman' in my hand, which can be used as a guarantee for a comeback."

The eldest elder of the Xue family took a deep breath, a ferocious look flashed across his face, he flipped his palm, took out a small palm-sized talisman with a shimmering purple light, and slapped it on his forehead.

next moment.

The spiritual pressure on his body suddenly boiled, and in an instant he advanced from the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage to the "late stage of the Void Refining Stage", and it continued to increase, rising higher and higher, approaching the peak of the late stage of the Void Refining Stage.

"Real talisman? Lord Xue Xiong actually has such a treasure in his hand?" Fairy Yu outside the palace was slightly startled after seeing this scene, and somewhat regretted her previous decision.

No matter how weak you are, or how strong you are, there should be a limit.

The Xue family's elder was just right before this. He was able to fight back and forth with Wei Tu, squeezing out Wei Tu's potential and playing a certain role in tempering him...

But now, for Wei Tu, it has become a sharp blade that can threaten his life.

However, at this moment, it was difficult for her to swallow her pride and go back on her words.

However, the one who was more anxious than Fairy Yu was Senior Feng.

He didn't know the details of Wei Tu, and had just been "frightened" by Fairy Yu for a while, so he thought that Wei Tu had a huge backer...

Therefore, when he saw that Wei Tu was in danger of his life because of his proposal, he was extremely anxious and wanted to rush into the hall and kill the eldest elder of the Xue family.

"If this young man is in danger, even if it means losing face, we must break into the palace and save his life..."

Senior Feng thought to himself that he didn't want to be hunted down by powerful enemies because of his own mistakes, and then wander around the world and have no peace. (End of this chapter)
