Chapter 101: Retreating from the Mountain for Experience

~8 min read 1,532 words

"Fine, no problem!"

Damn!

This situation was something Chu Feng had not anticipated.

The other party had agreed to such conditions without even a moment's thought.

Chu Feng's first reaction was to wonder if he had asked for too little.

Or perhaps the other party was just a foolish daughter of a wealthy family, completely ignorant of the value of daily necessities?

"I have already agreed to your conditions, so can we call a truce now?"

"Of course, but I must ask the Sect Leader to hand over the war reparations right now!"

"No problem!"

Lu Bingyu called over her attendant.

She recounted Chu Feng's demands.

Upon learning that Chu Feng had made such an exorbitant demand, the attendant was stunned.

"Sect Leader, how could you agree to such an unreasonable demand from him? This much stuff is equivalent to digging away more than half of the Turkic wealth!"

"What, that much!"

This was an oversight on her part.

Because she had always stayed within the sect to cultivate, she never concerned herself with these worldly matters.

Therefore, she did not have a grand concept of the demands Chu Feng had proposed.

Consequently, she had agreed without even thinking.

"But the words have already been spoken; how can I take them back?"

"Sigh, there is no other way; we will just have to let the Turkic tribes suffer for a while."

The attendant had no other choice either.

In any case, this cost was to be borne by the Turkic people, and they could not worry about that much.

As long as the Turkic people did not forget their reward when the time came, it would be fine.

Immediately, he told the Turkic tribal leaders about Chu Feng's demands.

"What, two hundred thousand warhorses, one million cattle and sheep, this... this is going to cost us our lives!"

Several Turkic tribal leaders exclaimed in surprise.

These things accounted for more than half of their net worth.

If all of this were handed over, wouldn't their people have to drink the northwest wind?

"That is not my concern; this is the opportunity Sect Leader obtained for you, so handle it yourselves!"

The attendant dropped this sentence and left directly.

Leaving the few tribal leaders behind to look at each other in dismay.

"Brothers, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Can we refuse to give it?"

"Forget it, forget it. Let's just pool our resources from our tribes. Let these Great Wei fellows be smug for a while; when we have a chance, we will get our own back!"

"That is true. For now, we can only let our people suffer a bit!"

The few tribal leaders gritted their teeth and squeezed out this war indemnity.

After receiving these reparations, Chu Feng had Lu Shuwan take the cattle and sheep and leave first.

He stayed behind to cover for his subordinates.

"Alright, the reparations have been delivered to you. Let us cease hostilities here, and may both sides live in harmony from now on!"

"Hehe, of course!"

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow and said.

His tone was quite disdainful.

This battle had truly exceeded his expectations.

What he had not expected even more was that there was actually a hidden, terrifying power within the other party's sect.

Therefore, knowing when to stop was the best policy.

"In that case, General Chu, we shall meet again."

"Until we meet again!"

The two sides parted ways there.

The fighting that had lasted for many days finally came to a halt.

After the people from the Turkic tribes and the Star Moon Divine Sect had gone far away, Chu Feng finally caught up with his troops.

"General!"

Lu Shuwan called out when she saw Chu Feng return.

Chu Feng returned to his warhorse and looked at Lu Shuwan, asking: "Lu Peng, are you truly certain that there is a formidable power within this Star Moon Divine Sect?"

Lu Shuwan pondered for a moment and said: "I cannot guarantee this. This matter was something I heard mentioned inadvertently by my family elders, so I am not too clear on what this power actually is!"

After speaking, Lu Shuwan looked at Chu Feng again, then immediately added: "If Lu Peng has acted against the General's will, I ask for the General's punishment!"

"No, you did not do anything wrong; on the contrary, you have performed a great service!"

Chu Feng comforted her, "If the other side truly possesses a very formidable power or an expert who has surpassed the Martial Venerable, then we would certainly not have been able to leave the grasslands alive."

"Therefore, regardless of whether they have any hidden power or not, we must know when to stop!"

At the time, he had also been blinded by victory.

What if he had killed Lu Bingyu?

The old monsters hidden within the opposing sect would have killed their way out regardless of the cost.

By that time, everything would have been too late.

He was also fortunate that Lu Shuwan had intervened in time to stop him.

Otherwise!

Given his stubborn nature, he absolutely would have fought the other party to the bitter end.

The scene shifts.

Star Moon Divine Sect.

After returning home, Lu Bingyu immediately dismissed her attendants and then walked toward a secret chamber.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Disciple Bing Yu pays respects to Master!"

"Come in, child!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The stone door suddenly swung wide open, revealing a world within.

Lu Bingyu walked in slowly, and before her eyes appeared a beautiful, middle-aged woman in her prime.

"Master, several Turkic leaders came to pay a visit today and have already joined our Star Moon Divine Sect."

"Oh? When did these fellows suddenly become enlightened enough to voluntarily join our Star Moon Divine Sect?"

"Master, the specific details of the matter are as follows!"

Lu Bingyu recounted everything that had happened today.

After understanding the specific details, Xiao Huiyun also revealed a look of shock.

"To think that after Lu Wenhan, Great Wei has actually birthed another genius-level figure, and one even younger than Lu Wenhan, with limitless potential!"

"Master, I have crossed paths with him and found this person to be very strange."

"Oh? How so?"

"He possesses strength in Martial Dao and also capabilities in the Dao Sect; one could say he is a monster who cultivates both Dao and Martial arts!"

"What, such a thing exists!"

Xiao Huiyun was even more surprised now.

It was already surprising enough for her to encounter someone who could fight her disciple to a standstill.

As it turns out, her own disciple informed her that the other party was a freak who cultivated both Dao and Martial arts.

If such a person were to grow up, he would surely become a great power in the future.

"That is why I did not become enemies with him; after negotiating with him, both sides ceased hostilities!"

"Mm, child, you did very well!"

Xiao Huiyun nodded with satisfaction.

In this matter, her disciple had acted very correctly.

"By the way, child, how long have you been in the Star Moon Divine Sect?"

"Master, this disciple has been in the sect for thirty-nine years since Master brought me here."

"Thirty-nine years, that is long enough!"

Xiao Huiyun muttered to herself.

Back then, while traveling, she had inadvertently found an abandoned baby girl.

Seeing that she and the baby girl were fated, she brought her back and taught her cultivation techniques.

She never expected that the other party would be a once-in-a-century martial arts prodigy.

At only forty years old, she had already reached the Late Stage Martial Venerable realm.

"Child, it is time for you to go down the mountain for training; this will be of great help for you to break through to Martial Saint."

"Ah? Go down the mountain to travel! But... but I don't know where I should go?"

"Hehe, that depends on how you choose."

Xiao Huiyun smiled slightly and continued, "Master is going to continue closed-door cultivation, so you decide for yourself!"

"Master, I..."

Before Lu Bingyu could finish speaking.

A light breeze blew, and Lu Bingyu was blown directly out of the secret chamber.

Then the secret chamber closed once again.

"Hmph, annoying, you didn't even let me finish what I was saying!"

Lu Bingyu stomped her feet in anger, not even forgetting to make a face at the secret chamber.

"Honestly, telling me to go down the mountain for training, but where should I go?"

Lu Bingyu scratched her head.

She thought for a long time but could not think of a suitable place.

After all, she did not even have a single friend outside.

The only person she had any acquaintance with was Chu Feng, whom she had confronted today.

"Sigh, forget it, I'll just find him; anyway, this guy scammed me out of quite a few things today!"

After clarifying this situation.

Lu Bingyu packed up and set off to find Chu Feng.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng never dreamed that.

Lu Bingyu, who had only met him once, would actually come looking for him again.

Besides this.

There is also one faction that is restless toward Chu Feng.
