This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 281 My sword is not at a disadvantage
Feng Jiahe came back to life, but he did not spread the news. He still lay lying on the bed in his shroud, and the funeral at home went on as usual.

Living a lonely life!
Xiang Yuan received the suicide note and became the legitimate heir to the family head. As everything seemed strange to him, he was not in a hurry to announce it to the whole family. For three consecutive days, he did not go anywhere and just sat in the quiet room to practice.

During this time, he used the "Seven Hearts Yishu" to divine, but he couldn't find the right method and could only predict that the result would be good.

Having said that, Xiang Yuan still felt that something was wrong. For example, the look in Feng Jiahe's eyes when he looked at him was indescribably weird. To put it in a metaphor, it was a bit lustful.

Is this the way a father looks at his son?

It can't be!

There must be something wrong.

Out of caution, Xiang Yuan did not go to the mourning hall for the past three days, letting his two incompetent brothers do it for him. He also did not cause trouble or bring up the will to pass on the throne.

The Feng family is facing internal and external troubles. At first glance, it looks like a pool of muddy water, but if you step in it, it is quite deep. It gives people the feeling that everyone has a lot of ideas.

Whoever jumps in at this time will be in trouble. Xiang Yuan doesn't want to be a scapegoat, so he keeps a low profile, waits and sees what happens, and waits for the unlucky guy to come out and test the waters.

Several uncles are very suitable for this role. They are vying for face and are determined not to give up. Xiang Yuan has great expectations for them.

For example, Ma Yu was pinned to the ground and rubbed by the Third Young Master in front of his fellow villagers, and his magic sword was taken away in public. He was scolded worse than a dog. Such a great humiliation would be unbearable for any man. If Ma Yu could let it go, Xiang Yuan would write the three words "Feng Wenshu" upside down.

Bang Bang Bang!
Feng Wenyu knocked on the door of the quiet room and said anxiously, "Third brother, an unwelcome guest has come and asked to see you."

Sure enough, it came!

Xiang Yuan stood up and stretched his hands and feet, put away the meditation cushion, pushed open the door of the meditation room and walked out slowly. Seeing Feng Wenyu's panicked face, he put on the dignity of the head of the family and scolded him, "How can you be so flustered? How many times have I told you not to panic when encountering things, not to be startled when facing changes, and to be calm and composed, so that you can calmly deal with everything."

You didn’t say that either!

Feng Wenyu hesitated, it was just his nature. As soon as Xiang Yuan raised his voice, he immediately softened.

Seeing him acting like this, Xiang Yuan snorted coldly and gave him a reassurance: "There's nothing to panic about, everything is under my control!"

"Third brother, you can even calculate this?" Feng Wenyu was astonished. He was finding it increasingly difficult to understand his younger brother.

"It's not difficult. Ma Yu is unwise, and the second wife is not smart. She has no moral integrity and cares about her reputation. After being humiliated, they will definitely gather their followers to come. Three days is enough time for Ma Yu to recover from his injuries. He may even ambush the army and complete the task in one fell swoop."

Xiang Yuan looked towards the main hall and said, "Frogs in a well are still frogs in a well even if they stick together. Today, I will make sure they never come back!"

In an instant, his figure became extremely tall, and he looked calm and confident as if he had mastered the wisdom. He was only short of a feather fan, a purple turban, and a Xiao Qiao, and was about to destroy the enemy's sails and masts in the blink of an eye.

Da Qiao is fine, Shangxiang is also okay, he is not a picky person.

Feng Wenyu was stunned when he heard this, and said dryly: "Third brother, the evil guests are not from the second house, nor Ma Yu. They are our family. Even if they are evil, they are not guests."

"..."

The feather fan and silk scarf on Xiang Yuan's body turned to ashes in an instant. Shangxiang married far away, and Erqiao was locked up in Tongque. His arms were empty, and he was alone and embarrassed.

Feng Wenyu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he said, "Old Third, the bad guest is Wang. Someone from Old Wang's family is here."

Who is this? Who the hell is this? There is no beginning or end. Why did the character list suddenly refresh?
Xiang Yuan's eyes widened: "Which Wang?"

"Which other Wang family could it be? The Wang family of the Five Heavenly Sword Veins!"

"What are they here for?"

Xiang Yuan frowned. It's true that the character list didn't refresh suddenly. The Wang family and the Feng family did have some connections, especially with 'Feng Wenshu'. The eldest lady who broke off the engagement in her early years was from the Wang family.

"The leader is Wang Mifeng, a veteran in the Spiritualization Stage, well-known and no mediocre person."

bee?

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this slightly strange name. "The Wang family and my Feng family are both from the Five Heavenly Sword Sects. The old man passed away, so it's nothing for them to come to pay their respects, but sending a powerful Spiritualization Stage cultivator... Humph, they really are an evil guest. Do they think my Feng family has no one?"

"Not only that, the Wang family's daughter who broke off the engagement is here too."

"She's here too?"

Xiang Yuan put himself in the shoes of He Dong, who was slapped in the face by the broken engagement, and was immediately furious: "I have been displaced for more than ten years, sleeping in the open air, wearing frost and ice, and I don't know how much hardship and fatigue I have endured. It's all thanks to her. I will never forget her kindness. I remember her face in my dreams... By the way, what was her name?"

The information provided by Ji Boli did not mention the name of the girl from the Wang family. Xiang Yuan estimated that he would not meet her, so he did not ask the passers-by what her name was.

Don’t you remember everything even in your dreams? How come you even forgot the person’s name?
Feng Wenyu thought his third brother was just confused because of anger, so he reminded him, "Wang Yunxi, the head of the Wang family, don't forget this time."

"That's the name. I'll remember it even if it turns into ashes!"

"..."

All right, just be happy.

……

Central hall, flower hall.

The two evil guests mentioned by Feng Wenyu sat and drank tea, enjoying the aroma of tea and looking contented.

Wang Mifeng was dressed in a blue shirt, standing tall as a pine tree. He had been famous for decades. He was only one step away from the Tongyou stage, and was at the standard Huashen stage, half a step to the peak of perfection. Even if a Tongyou stage master came face to face, he could still defeat him with three moves or two.

The years have left several marks of varying depths on his face, making him more calm. His eyes are no longer as sharp as a sword as when he was young, but a little gentler. He looks like a kind-hearted elder, as if he were bathed in spring breeze.

Wang Yunxi wore a water blue dress with a jade belt of the same color tied around her waist. The hem of her dress was embroidered with a few white broken pear flowers. Her figure was as light as a willow, her face was clear and cold, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like cold stars, and her hair was tied up high. She was both beautiful and sharp.

In the early years, the Wang and Feng families shared the same suffering. Both were from the Five Heavenly Sword Sects. However, since there was no grandmaster at the Tongyou stage in their clan, they only dared to speak in a low voice in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

They huddled together for warmth and arranged a child marriage.

As an elder of the Wang family broke through the Tongyou period and his voice gradually became louder, he looked down on the soft-voiced Feng. This marriage became like a chicken rib, which could be successful or not.

Later, Feng Wenshu fell seriously ill and his cultivation stagnated, while Wang Yunxi showed a talent in swordsmanship that far exceeded his peers and was loved by the elders in the Tongyou period of the clan. The Wang family was unwilling to marry such a gifted child into the Feng family and readily cancelled the marriage.

This move was a bit embarrassing and disrespectful to the Feng family, and there was also the suspicion of destroying the bridge after crossing it. However, in a large family that respected the use of force, profit was the iron rule. Wang Yunxi had the potential to become a master of the art of communication, and there was no reason or possibility for the Wang family to marry her off to another family.

What's more, although Wang broke off the engagement, she also gave Feng some compensation, so she neither lost nor owed anything.

As for Feng Wenshu's feelings, family members always put family interests first, and his opinion is not important.

It was originally like this, but who would have thought that more than ten years later, hey, Feng Wenshu has also reached the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Not only the God of Transformation, but also beating Ma Yu, who had been in the God of Transformation for many years, in the street was as easy as eating and drinking.

Of course, Wang's visit was not to reconcile and renew the previous engagement. The Wang family also had to save face, and a good horse would never turn back. It was impossible to regret the engagement again and again. This trip had another purpose.

"Yunxi, this is a serious matter at the Feng Mansion. If Feng Wenshu's words offend you, you must be patient and not argue with him." Wang Mifeng reminded her in a voice transmission.

"Don't worry, uncle. I have been practicing sword skills and cultivating my character. I am no longer at the age of acting on impulse. I will not argue with Feng Wenshu."

Wang Yunxi responded, "Besides, the Feng family is now facing internal and external troubles. Feng Wenshu is not a man without strategy. Even if he has hatred in his heart, he will not show it at this time. It is right to treat him with courtesy."

"It's best if you think so."

Wang Mifeng nodded and smiled lightly, showing approval: "It's great that you think so. Several branches of the Feng family will be here later. We might as well do Feng Wenshu a favor and support him. We can renegotiate the marriage contract later. Whether he agrees or not, you and I can stay in the Feng Mansion for a few days."

"Uncle, does the Feng family really have a great opportunity?" Wang Yunxi frowned slightly.

"Brother has a plan that is perfect, there will be no falsehood, just follow his arrangements."

As the uncle and nephew were chatting, Feng Wenyu led Xiang Yuan over. The latter glanced at the only woman in the field and thought to himself that this was a sure thing.

I will definitely not guess wrong this time. With such a strict gender restriction, she must be the one!

Without waiting for the two to stand up, Xiang Yuan had already turned his nose up and was about to spout off a screed about not looking down on the poor young man. On the way here, he had held back several words, saying things like being fickle, violating moral standards, having an affair, and being unfaithful to one's husband. Regardless of whether it was appropriate in the context or not, he just wanted to spout off a lot of words on the moral high ground first.

It is a hard truth to seize the opportunity and attract talents.

"Last year I..."

"Third brother, something big has happened!"

Hurry up footsteps were heard behind him, and they rushed to the central hall and pulled Xiang Yuan, who had a resentful look, aside.

It's very painful to only spray out half of the dirty words, neither going up nor down.

The visitor was the second brother Feng Wenyuan, who lowered his voice and said, "All the people from the fourth branch are here, four sons-in-law in the Spiritualization Stage, hundreds of people, and they have also invited several elders. They are coming with great force and have set up their positions on the martial arts stage. I'm afraid today will not end peacefully."

Why did you come now?

I told you to build a subway long ago, but you didn't listen. Xiang Yuan was speechless. If it had been five minutes earlier, the subway would have been installed. It's not like now, where you have to rush around and rush around. How can you be so cool and carefree when planning a strategy?

Although Feng Wenyuan's voice was soft, everyone present who was not in the Spirit Transformation Stage could hear it clearly.

Feng Wenyu: “…”

Wang Mifeng stood up and said, "Third Young Master of the Feng Family, although the Wang family is an outsider, our two families have a deep connection and supported each other in the early years. Now that we are in troubled times, if Third Young Master does not abandon me, I am willing to go with you to see what rebellious actions they have!"

Would you, Wang family, be so kind?
Xiang Yuan murmured in his heart, these two Wangs didn't come earlier or later, but just happened to come just a minute before the riot in Feng Mansion. He had never been so accurate in checking the meal time in Songjiazhuang. It was obvious that they did it on purpose.

Think a little, analyze calmly, and see through it.JPG
understood!

The thieves and rats in the house colluded with outsiders and brought the wolf into the house. The fourth family knew that they could not defeat them, but they were unwilling to give up the position of head of the family, so they simply brought the Wang family in and were willing to be the guides, and split the profits 30% and 70% afterwards.

Haha, how can he, the third young master of the Feng family, allow you to do as you wish?

No matter how many come today, we will beat them all with our fists!

……

Although the old Feng family has been in decline for many years and there is no master of the Tongyou stage to take charge, the foundation of the Five Heavenly Sword Veins is still there. It guards the basic base of Yanfeng City and is still considered a big tree. It can even produce a few masters of the Huashen stage by relying on its old capital.

Ji Boli commented that the Feng family was in decline because their ancestors were wealthy, and he was evaluating the Feng family from an equal perspective as the head of the Ji family.

If we take the Feng family alone, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Looking around the world, they are a powerful and wealthy family with strong heritage.

But then again, a hero never brags about his past achievements. The reality is that the Feng family does not have a master of the Tongyou period in charge, so he has no say and cannot be on the table, and is destined to be on the menu.

Look, he is ordering food from someone.

Back to the point, the martial arts arena was filled with a murderous atmosphere, as if even the air had solidified a little.

Although there weren't huge crowds of people or waving banners, the invisible sense of oppression made people hold their breath and concentrate, not daring to relax at all.

The guest seats on the left side of the martial arts stage were crowded with people. Martial arts celebrities from Yanfeng City gathered together. Everyone had a solemn expression and sharp eyes. Beneath their serious appearance, there was a gossipy look of gloating.

If I could see a battle between strong men today, it would be worth dying for (×)
It would be worth dying to witness the dog-eat-dog fight in the Feng family. (√)

These martial arts celebrities originally did not want to get involved in this mess, but the money offered by the Fourth Branch of the Feng family was too much, so they could not refuse and had to come as witnesses, which is what they brag about after dinner: "I was at the scene, I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false?"

On the right side of the martial arts arena were several elders of the Feng family. They all had gray beards, mediocre skills, but very high seniority. They were the most common parasites in the big family.

They received benefits from the fourth room, and were responsible for being reasonable and taking sides, which is the so-called "pure passerby, impartial, rational and sincere, truthfulness is the most important, I will say something fair."

On the side of the martial arts stage facing the entrance hall, four powerful men in the Spirit Transformation Stage, including Ma Yu, stood in a row. They had tall and straight postures and powerful auras, like four towering mountains. They exuded astonishing momentum without making a sound, suppressing the entire audience.

Behind them, dozens of innate masters protected them like stars surrounding the moon. Each of them had a fierce aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its sharp edge.

The auras of these masters intertwined and collided, forming a series of sword sounds, which made the air around the martial arts stage tremble slightly, and the atmosphere became increasingly hot.

When Xiang Yuan and others arrived at the scene, they saw such a tense scene.

"Third brother, is this possible?"

Feng Wenyu asked cautiously. If it doesn't work, just say it directly. There are many people on the other side and it's not embarrassing.

If there is really no other option, the three brothers will push the coffin over, lift the coffin lid, and let the old man come out to uphold justice.

Xiang Yuan ignored Feng Wenyu and strode onto the martial arts stage, with the Rouge Sword inserted into his waist, one hand behind his back, and slightly raised his head, revealing his handsome nostrils full of the aura of a master.

"Feng Wenshu, you finally decided to come out!"

Ma Yu spoke in a cold voice, his eyes bypassing Xiang Yuan. Seeing the two Wang family members in the Spiritualization Stage, he was slightly startled and frowned, mockingly saying, "Why, are you looking for outsiders to help you in order to seize the position of Patriarch?"

Oh, didn’t you invite these two?
Xiang Yuan was confused, but didn't think much about it. He glanced at the group of white-bearded people on both sides and nodded secretly. Every time he met Ma Yu, he could act like a big shot. He was indeed a qualified villain with high IQ.

He raised his hand and took out the suicide note written by Feng Jiahe 'after his death' from his bosom, and lightly pushed it over his head: "I am the third son of the eldest son, and I have the old man's suicide note to pass on the throne. I am the head of the family by right and no reason. Why do I need to seek help from outsiders?"

The suicide note was not big, but everyone present had some cultivation experience. When they saw Feng Jiahe's handwriting and the marks of the patriarch and the city lord, their faces suddenly changed and they started whispering to each other.

The martial arts celebrities in the guest seats were extremely happy; this was exactly what they wanted and they were eagerly waiting to see a river of blood.

The four Spiritualization Stage masters looked unhappy. Ma Yu said with a sullen face, "You are so bold. Not only did you forge a suicide note, but you also stole the seals of the Patriarch and the City Lord. You really would do anything to get the position of Patriarch!"

Although his arguments were a bit far-fetched, everyone present was from the fourth room, so no one stood up to find fault.

Wang Yunxi frowned slightly and looked at her uncle, asking if she wanted to say a few polite words. Wang Mifeng shook his head slightly, saying that it was best to help when Feng Wenshu was at the edge of the cliff and stand up to support him.

"What? Do you think this suicide note is fake?" Xiang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Ma Yu sneered.

"Okay, it's fake."

Xiang Yuan raised his hand and pointed, and the suicide note held above his head broke into pieces, turning into pieces of paper that floated down.

Everyone was shocked, not understanding what he was doing and why he wanted to destroy his proof of survival.

"Feng Wenshu, what do you mean?" Ma Yu asked in surprise.

"Obviously, give you a fair chance to compete!"

Xiang Yuan said calmly and confidently: "You have formed gangs and are aggressive, and you can even turn black into white. What use do I have for this suicide note? I might as well abandon it and beat you to your knees, and make you cry and beg me to be the head of the family. This way, it will show that I have won people over with my virtue, and I deserve the position that everyone expects."

After saying that, he laughed.

His contemptuous look and arrogant attitude instantly diluted the murderous atmosphere in the field, and he became the most handsome guy in the whole place.

This person is not using his righteousness to do anything but destroying his own reliance. I'm afraid he is a mentally retarded person! xN
Seeing that Xiang Yuan had provoked the anger of the three other Spiritualization Stage masters with just a few words, Ma Yu secretly smiled in his heart and his tone became much kinder: "Feng Wenshu, since you admit that you forged the patriarch's suicide note, we will..."

"Don't bother. I told you three nights ago that I don't care about reputation. You don't have to accuse me of anything. I'm the head of the family, and I have great scholars to debate for me. Did you see those old guys on the sidelines? I bet they'll lick my ass more than anyone else."

Xiang Yuan looked arrogant, rolled up his sleeves and spoke out from a moral high ground: "You four don't need to pretend to be gentlemen. You learned the martial arts of my Feng family. It's disloyal to commit crimes against your superiors. It's unrighteous to eat the swill of my Feng family and not think of repaying the kindness. You disloyal and unrighteous dogs, you have the nerve to bark in front of me, it's hilarious, I have never seen such a shameless person!"

His voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire venue, causing all the celebrities to tremble all over and become extremely excited.

Right, right, that's it, no room should be left for any nonsense you talk! xN
Ma Yu and the other three looked extremely unhappy. However, they still valued their reputation. One of them said, "Feng Wenshu, stop talking nonsense. You forged the family head's suicide note first, and we are seeking justice later. This is..."

"Don't be so hesitant. The atmosphere has reached this point. Let's just get started. These old men with white beards don't have many days left. If we keep talking, one of them might die in an instant."

Xiang Yuan hooked his fingers and said, "You are just traitors, so you are nothing to be afraid of. I am in a hurry, so you can all come together!"

After hearing this, the place fell silent again.

Fighting one against four people at the same Spiritual Transformation Stage, what a foolish move!
Wang Yunxi looked at her uncle in amazement. Is this the time to help someone in need?

Wang Mifeng: [_]
Wang Mifeng was confused. What was there to give as a gift? This kid just knocked over the charcoal basin.

Ma Yu was overjoyed and said calmly, "Feng Wenshu, are you serious? No regrets?"

"You can also not take it seriously and take them one by one, but... are you willing to do that?" Xiang Yuan laughed.

Ma Yu pretended not to hear, looked at Xiang Yuan's fist with fear, and raised the sword in his hand: "You should know that the Feng family is one of the five Heavenly Sword Sects, and all the family heads of previous generations are masters of swordsmanship, not reckless men."

"so what?"

"This battle concerns the future head of the family. Since we are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, we should determine the superiority and inferiority through swordsmanship."

"you sure?"

Xiang Yuan was amazed. The script of "Don't Despise the Young Man for Being Poor" was indeed a refreshing plot. From the two useless brothers as supporting characters to the hostile villain like Ma Yu, they all mixed up in the circle of the seventies. It was really unworthy of praise.

His boxing skills are average, relying entirely on his natural strength and swordsmanship...

May I ask you all, have you ever heard of the realm of Dao Sword?
"What's wrong with you? Are you scared?"

"Your swordsmanship is not bad, and my sword is not bad either. I am really afraid that if I am not careful, you will all die. After all..."

Xiang Yuan slowly drew out the Crazy Beauty Sword from his waist and said quietly, "Although fists and feet are blind, they are better than the ruthless swords. If you show your weapons, people will die."

"There's nothing to fear in the arena of life and death!"

"Well said, if you are not afraid of death, then I have nothing to fear either."
