Chapter 229: Martial Sovereign Ruins?

The fighting sounds inside the house gradually faded, and Long Bad Dao leaned against the wall, panting in big gulps, his chest heaving violently.

Jiang Feng still stood where he was, calm as a gentle breeze.

Long Bad Dao gasped for a long while before he could barely steady his breath.

He looked up at Jiang Feng, a flash of fear crossing his face.

Is this kid even human? So strong?

It was only now that he truly realized the gap in strength between himself and Jiang Feng.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

Long Bad Dao simply plopped onto the ground, slumping against the wall without any dignity.

He waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Jiang Feng looked at his shirking posture, couldn't help but smile, and shook the wooden box in his hand.

"Giving up like that? Weren't you eager to get that Zhu Yan Pill?"

"I'm not your opponent; if we keep fighting, it'll just be self‑inflicted suffering!"

Long Bad Dao curled his lip, a hint of gloom appearing on his face.

"Kid, where the heck did you come from? I'm Long Bad Dao, with Grandmaster Fifth Rank strength; across the entire jianghu I'm a top‑tier existence. Many people avoid me when they see me, yet before you I have no room to even retaliate!"

His words were not unfounded.

Grandmaster Fifth Rank strength is considered elite even among hidden families.

Moreover, his Dragon Elephant Technique is already peerlessly powerful; a peer Grandmaster is no match for him.

But Jiang Feng was truly bizarre—his moves seemed casual yet always effortlessly deflected Long Bad Dao's attacks, leaving him feeling both stifled and helpless.

"It's just the Zhu Yan Pill, I don't want it!"

Long Bad Dao completely let it go.

"Since we can't snatch it anyway, might as well give up and save ourselves the trouble."

Jiang Feng, watching his straightforward demeanor, thought Long Bad Dao was a sincere person without any twists, and felt a few more points of goodwill toward him.

"I did promise this batch of Zhu Yan Pills to Yitian Pavilion, so I can't just hand them to you. But I believe, given your status, if you ask Duanmu Ya for a few, she'll give them to you."

After all, Long Bad Dao is a Supreme Member of Yitian Pavilion.

Duanmu Ya, to curry favor, should have no trouble sending a few Zhu Yan Pills.

"Really?"

Long Bad Dao heard that, his eyes instantly lit up, and the gloom on his face vanished.

He hurriedly got up from the ground, brushing dust off his body.

"You aren't lying to me? This pill really was refined by you for Yitian Pavilion?"

"Of course."

"Then there's no issue; Yitian Pavilion has a request of mine, asking for a few Zhu Yan Pills is nothing."

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Long Bad Dao fully exhaled in relief.

Jiang Feng seemed to sense something and gave a faint smile.

"They've just arrived, you can now ask..."

At that moment, two auras suddenly surged into the house without warning.

Immediately after, Duanmu Ya's anxious voice came in.

"Mr. Jiang, are you alright?"

But when she saw the scene inside, she was stunned.

The anticipated fierce battle never materialized; the room was a mess, yet Jiang Feng stood there unharmed.

And Long Bad Dao also stood properly; the two even seemed somewhat... harmonious?

What on earth is happening?

Can anyone really coexist peacefully with this guy Long Bad Dao?

When Long Bad Dao saw Duanmu Ya and Elder Ge entering, he wasn't surprised and laughed boisterously, saying,

"Duanmu Pavilion Master, what are you doing? I'm just here to greet my new neighbor; why do you seem more nervous than us?"

Elder Ge stepped into the room, his gaze sweeping over the wreckage, then glancing at Long Bad Dao and Jiang Feng, unable to hold back his remark.

"Where Long Bad Dao is present, any amount of worry is justified. After all, with your hot‑tempered nature, who knows when you'll strike and hurt someone."

Long Bad Dao chuckled and said nothing.

Elder Ge's strength and status both surpass his, so he dared not act brazenly before him.

Jiang Feng's gaze fell on Elder Ge, his brows slightly furrowing.

He discovered the other's aura was as restrained as a deep pool; with his own strength, he could not at all sense the depth of the other's power.

There were two possibilities: either the other's strength far exceeded his, or they had cultivated a top‑tier technique that hides aura.

Either way, it was enough to show the person was no ordinary.

"Duanmu Pavilion Master, who is this?"

Duanmu Ya snapped back to her senses, hurried forward, and respectfully said to Jiang Feng,

"Mr. Jiang, apologies for startling you. This is Elder Ge from our Yitian Pavilion Headquarters; he's here especially to inspect Jiangcheng."

Then she turned to Elder Ge.

"Elder Ge, this is Mr. Jiang Feng, whose Divine Medical Art is unparalleled, and whose Alchemy Technique is truly extraordinary."

Elder Ge gave Jiang Feng a slight nod.

"Mr. Jiang, young and accomplished, truly a hero in his youth."

Jiang Feng gave a faint smile, nodded, as a response.

He could feel that Elder Ge's gaze toward him carried a hint of wariness.

But at this moment his assessment of Yitian Pavilion rose a few points in his mind.

"Elder Ge, you came in person; it looks like this time's matter isn't simple."

Long Bad Dao said straightforwardly.

"Just say whatever it is directly; no beating around the bush. I, Long Bad Dao, can help, and I won't be vague."

Elder Ge did not answer immediately, but turned his head to glance at Jiang Feng, his eyes bearing a hint of wariness.

Obviously, he was still weighing whether to say those words to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng saw his hesitation and gave a faint smile.

"Elder Ge, rest assured, I'm not interested in Yitian Pavilion's affairs. If you think my presence here is inconvenient, I can leave right now."

Having said that, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Don't mind!"

Long Bad Dao hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"Elder Ge, don't be stingy! This kid Jiang Feng is stronger than me; he definitely has the right to get involved in these matters! One more person means more strength, and he also cooperates with Yitian Pavilion, so he's not an outsider. Just say it directly!"

With those words, even Elder Ge gave Jiang Feng a slightly strange look.

Long Bad Dao knew this man's character well; could Jiang Feng really impress him?

It seems he is even more unfathomable than Duanmu Ya said.

"Alright."

Elder Ge finally nodded.

"Since young brother Long says so, I'll be straightforward. Mr. Jiang is also our honored guest; if he truly wishes to participate, he may join as well."

Duanmu Ya, hearing this, immediately gathered several Chairs.

Long Bad Dao was the first to be anxious; before even sitting down, he spoke.

"Sit quickly, sit quickly, we can speak slowly! What huge matter is it that requires you to personally make a trip?"

Elder Ge cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping over the three present.

"Our Yitian Pavilion, in the Jiangnan Region, has discovered a Wu Zun Ruins."

"What?! Wu Zun Ruins?"

With those words, Long Bad Dao instantly leapt from his Chair, his face full of shock.
