Chapter 1306 - 1303: Hero Invitation, Dog’s Life!

Since leaving Sky Water Port, half a day has passed. The four have been on the move. Upon hearing Yue Haitang’s suggestion, Luo Feng nodded:

"Alright, let’s go down and ask what exactly happened."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four figures flashed and shot towards the inn nestled in the mountain hollow.

Cloud Water Inn.

This is the only inn within a few hundred miles of the outskirts of the Yun Ling Mountains. The shopkeeper was once a renowned swordsman with a great reputation.

Once, he ventured deep into the Yun Ling Mountains to train, accidentally losing his right arm, causing his strength to plummet. However, he was naturally fond of meeting heroes from all corners and was unwilling to leave the martial world. He thus retired here and opened the Cloud Water Inn.

Martial artists venturing into the Yun Ling Mountains for adventures like to rest here and chat about martial world affairs, and the Cloud Water Inn gradually gained quite a reputation.

Luo Feng and the others landed on the ground and made their way to the Cloud Water Inn.

The waiter at the door saw the guests arrive and enthusiastically welcomed them, "Honored guests, please come inside!"

Following the waiter into the inn, Luo Feng glanced around and was somewhat surprised.

The seemingly unremarkable inn was packed with people, about thirty or forty in total. Besides a few Meridian Wheel Realm martial artists, more than half were Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists. In one of the private rooms, Luo Feng also sensed an incredibly strong True Yuan aura, indicating a True Yuan Realm second-stage martial artist, emitting a subtle sense of oppression.

"So many experts..."

Luo Feng’s mind stirred slightly. The Yun Ling Mountains are not like the perilous Red Dragon Mountain Range, so the martial artists who come here for training adventures are generally not very strong. Normally, even mid-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists are rare. The current situation is highly unusual.

The four sat down at a table against the wall, and Luo Feng casually ordered some side dishes and a pot of tea.

"Tsk tsk, these four are so young, yet all are Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists. Quite impressive."

Many noticed that Luo Feng and the others had arrived via Aerial Flight and, upon seeing how young they were, had their eyes flash with curiosity.

"Judging by their attire, they must be from some wealthy family."

"This incident has attracted many experts. Just now, I saw Baileizhang Qu Ming and Iron Lion Xiao Tie."

"Of course, this matter is not simple. I heard that more than a dozen Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists and even a True Yuan Realm second-stage martial artist have died. The City Lord of Dayang City, Yang Dingtian, has issued a hero notice, offering a handsome reward to catch the killer, which has caused many reclusive heroes from the martial world to re-emerge."

"Hey, Xiao Tie is heading towards those four young martial artists. Do they know each other?"

The City Lord of Dayang City issues a hero notice!

Luo Feng, while entering the inn, was already paying attention to the conversations around him. Hearing Yang Dingtian’s name, his heart shook.

When faced with difficult or unsolvable matters, some leaders of powerful factions issue hero notices, offering rewards to invite martial world experts for assistance.

Yang Dingtian is already a True Yuan Realm martial artist, and the Dayang Mansion’s strength is no joke. The fact that he had to issue a hero notice indicates that this matter is no small issue. The news of the deaths of over ten Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists and a True Yuan Realm second-stage martial artist makes this affair even more extraordinary.

"I wonder what happened..."

Luo Feng was pondering when his brow suddenly furrowed slightly, looking to the side.

A middle-aged man had appeared at some point, exceptionally tall, with a dark complexion, a square face with broad ears, messy hair and beard, wearing a shirt whose original color was indistinguishable, looking scruffy and unkempt, holding a cup of wine.

Luo Feng, seeing the man had no intention of leaving, knew he was here for the four of them, calmly asked, "Anything you need?"

Yue Haitang and the other two, upon seeing the tall middle-aged man, also frowned slightly.

Smack!

The tall middle-aged man set the wine cup on the table, glanced at Jiang Fengfeng and Su Zhuyun across from him, and laughed heartily, "Little brother, in the martial world, the more friends, the more ways. I see we’re quite fated; we should get to know each other."

"It’s Xiao Tie!"

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Tie has always acted with reckless abandon. It seems he has taken a liking to those two young female swordsmen, clearly intending to take advantage."

"I wonder how that young man will handle this. Xiao Tie is not one to be trifled with."

"What else can he do? Women are never more important than life itself."

Xiao Tie’s voice was loud, causing the entire inn to buzz with discussion as everyone turned their eyes toward this direction. Several wished to intervene but, recognizing the person was Xiao Tie, immediately retreated.

Xiao Tie is no ordinary expert. Several years ago, his cultivation stepped into the late stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, far surpassing most present.

"Master, look at that person!"

Outside a private room in the inn stood two figures. The middle-aged martial artist on the left changed expression at the sight of Luo Feng.

"Hidden Dragon Marquis Luo Feng... it’s him!"

The young man beside him swallowed down saliva upon seeing Luo Feng.

On the other side, as Xiao Tie spoke, he casually reached out to pat Luo Feng’s shoulder.

Luo Feng shifted his body slightly to avoid Xiao Tie’s right hand, glanced at him, and said lightly, "I think it’s better if we don’t know each other."

Xiao Tie’s hand hung awkwardly in the air, neither retracting nor advancing, and his face suddenly darkened.

In recent years, having been in seclusion diligently cultivating, he seldom walked the martial world and hadn’t seen a woman in a long time. Seeing Jiang Fengfeng and Su Zhuyun’s peerless beauty, he took a spur-of-the-moment decision to try his luck, yet never expected the other party wouldn’t give him face at all.

Crack!

With a forceful grip, the wine cup before Xiao Tie shattered instantly, leaving a deep palm imprint on the table, and he coldly said:

"Boy, do you know who I am?"

Luo Feng waved his hand, "I’m not interested in knowing. Please step aside; you’re in our way."

Yue Haitang sat beside without planning to intervene. Honestly speaking, forget a late-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist; with Luo Feng’s current cultivation, even all the martial artists in this inn combined probably wouldn’t withstand a single move from him.

While Yue Haitang and others thought this way, not everyone shared the same sentiment.

Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, a series of gasps arose from throughout the inn; nearby martial artists looked at Luo Feng and swallowed secretly, thinking: Who is this young man, daring to speak so boldly in front of Iron Lion Xiao Tie.

Xiao Tie’s thick eyebrows twitched as he looked at Luo Feng, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and he laughed ominously:

"Very well! Seems I’ve been away from the martial world too long; no one recognizes me anymore. Boy, you’ve got guts!"

As he spoke, Xiao Tie’s feet moved suddenly, bringing wind and thunder, ready to strike at Luo Feng.

"Stop!"

Just as Luo Feng prepared to act, a shout suddenly erupted within the inn, and a young man in embroidered clothing emerged from a private room inside the inn.

It’s him...

Upon seeing the young man in embroidered clothing, Luo Feng’s gaze shifted. This person was the Prince of Cloud Rock Dynasty, with whom he had a brief encounter in Azure Sky City.

"You, apologize to them immediately. Today, you might be spared a dog’s life!"

The Prince of Cloud Rock Dynasty looked down at Xiao Tie, his voice stern and severe.
