Eons Venerable Lord

"Brother, why are you still here? Quickly go and watch the martial arts competition. This is a rare event in Sword City, don't miss it!"    

"Aiya, my brain almost forgot. Today is the day of the bet between Haotian Sect and Hu family. Let's go, let's go now!"    

"It's really hard to say whether the Haotian Sect and the Hu family will win this time!"    

"That's right. Haotian Sect has sent two powerful young men. This time, Hu family is really in trouble!"    

"This is also possible. I heard that Second Young Master, Hu Ping of the Hu family, has already activated the physique of the innate sword body. His cultivation base has increased tremendously. He might even be able to fight them!"    

"Tsk! The Haotian Sect is one of the three major powers of the Great Tang. Naturally, their disciples have outstanding talent. Although the Hu family is very powerful in the Sword City and is one of the three major families, they are only sword forgers after all. How can they be compared with the Haotian Sect?"    

At this moment, Ling Feng heard the two young men discussing at the city gate. He couldn't help but feel nervous every day.    

The Hu family? Could it be Hu Ping's family? Why was it related to Haotian Sect again?    

Thinking of this, he hurriedly chased after them, stuffed a silver note into his mouth, and asked, "Brother, the Hu family you are talking about, is there someone called Hu Ping?"    

When one of the young men saw that Ling Feng was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he didn't want to bother with him, but when he saw the silver note, his eyes lit up, "You are from another place, right? You don't even know about the Hu family?"    

Ling Feng smiled and said, "Yeah, I just happened to pass by this place. I remember that I have a friend, Hu Ping, who is from this place. So, I wanted to ask around, and I wanted to follow him to take a look!"    

When the young man heard that Ling Feng knew Hu Ping, his heart was filled with doubt and disdain. Who was Hu Ping? That was Second Young Master, one of the three great swordsmithing families in Sword City. Ling Feng was wearing the same clothes as a commoner, so how could he know Hu Ping?    

However, for the sake of that silver note, he didn't say anything that he disdained. Instead, he patiently explained, "Hu Ping is the famous Second Young Master of Hu family, one of the three famous sword-smithing families in Sword City. He has outstanding talent. He has also entered the Cangnan Academy. I heard that he came back from the academy a few days ago. He has activated the Innate Sword Physique, and his strength has also increased by leaps and bounds. He was strong enough to suppress all the young geniuses in the Sword City, but it was a pity..."    

The young man paused for a moment and looked at Ling Feng. Ling Feng immediately understood what he meant. He quickly fished out an even bigger banknote and handed it over.    

The youth's eyes lit up even more. This time, he had struck it rich. The two banknotes added up to a total of ten thousand silver taels. My god, could it be that this guy didn't pick it up from somewhere? He was so rich, yet he was wearing such shabby clothes?    

Then, he and the other young man looked at each other, and a cold light flashed in their eyes at the same time.    

How could their carefulness be hidden from Ling Feng? However, he urgently needed to know about Hu Ping's situation, so he pretended not to notice anything. He hurriedly asked, "Big brother, you haven't said what a pity is."    

"A pity..."    

The young man who spoke revealed a troubled expression and rolled his eyes. "This is not a place for us to talk. I will take you to a hidden place and tell you everything!"    

Ling Feng showed a troubled look and his eyes also showed vigilance.    

"You are not going? Forget it then. This matter is extremely secretive, and we don't want any trouble to arise from our words. If the Hu family comes looking for trouble with us, then we will suffer a great loss!"    

The young man said as he pulled another young man away. Ling Feng became anxious and hastily said, "I will go with you!"    

"That's more like it!"    

The young man immediately smiled and pulled Ling Feng into the city. They turned around and found an empty alley. Another young man looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he gave the young man a look.    

The young man who had spoken suddenly looked fierce. He took out a shining dagger from his waist and said, "Hurry up and hand over the money. Otherwise, don't blame us for getting nothing!"    

Ling Feng was stunned. These two guys dared to rob him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.    

Damn it, he had never encountered such a robbery in his life.    

"Big brothers, what are you two doing? I have already given you the banknotes. At most, I don't want any news about Hu Ping!" Ling Feng felt that this was interesting and couldn't help but become interested in cooperating with the two young men to put on an act. He revealed a frightened expression.    

"Kakaka, you don't want any news right now? It's too late! Hurry up, take out all the money! "    

" I really don't have any money, I'll give it all to you! "    

"Who are you lying to? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"    

The young man said as he rushed forward and put the dagger on Ling Feng's neck.    

"What if I don't give it to you?" Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and his eyes became cold.    

"No? Then I'll kill you and search for you myself!"    

The young man's face turned cold. He exerted force in his hand and the dagger went straight for Ling Feng's throat.    

However, the next scene changed his expression dramatically.    

Because he saw that the dagger didn't even scratch Ling Feng's throat.    

What was going on? Did he see a ghost?    

He was startled. He increased the strength in his hand once again, and almost used all the strength in his body. However, he was still unable to injure Ling Feng in the slightest. Not even a mark was left on Ling Feng's throat.    

The other young man's facial expression changed as well. He drew out a long sword and slashed at Ling Feng. With a clank, the sound of metal clashing could be heard. It only cut through Ling Feng's clothes. However, there was no trace of his skin.    

This... Was he really seeing a ghost?
