Chapter 192 - 177 Golden-Winged Dapeng

The intense pain made the large black bear’s face turn fierce, and he couldn’t help but cry out, "Ow, let go, you lad have such great strength."

Lin Fang, however, couldn’t be bothered with such a brute and lightly tossed him, only to see the large black bear’s burly body trace a beautiful arc through the air.

With a crack, his body landed on a table, turning it into powder.

Raising his head to glare at Lin Fang with anger, his powerful aura continued to grow stronger, and the dense demon Qi almost materialized, lunging toward Lin Fang’s face.

Lin Fang simply watched with a cold eye as a man suddenly appeared, shouting loudly, "Stop!"

The voice seemed to carry a tremendous power that instantly suppressed the black bear’s demon Qi.

"It’s him!" the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

The man who appeared was tall and handsome, but what captured most attention were his golden eyes, a hallmark of the Golden-Winged Dapeng clan.

This clan was small in number, but each member was a master. Adult Golden-Winged Dapengs could even hunt True Dragons.

The crowd didn’t expect that Qianjin Pavilion could have a Golden-Winged Dapeng presiding over it.

"What a big move. I’ve heard that the Golden-Winged Dapeng clan is naturally proud, and it must have taken great effort to persuade him," a knowledgeable person whispered, elevating their regard for Qianjin Pavilion to a new level.

The Golden-Winged Dapeng paid no heed to the surrounding comments. His golden eyes firmly fixed on the black bear in front of him, a daunting aura subdued the bear, rendering him utterly unable to move.

"This is Qianjin Pavilion. Anyone who wants to cause trouble, come and face me first!" His cold voice echoed through the pavilion, tightening everyone’s hearts.

"Well, are you going to make a move?"

The black bear looked at the Golden-Winged Dapeng bird in front of him, tempted to talk tough, but ultimately he wisely gave up such behavior.

After all, he was facing a fearsome character who dared to eat members of the Dragon Clan; provoking him could mean not walking out alive.

Thus, he glared coldly at Lin Fang and the Scholar behind him and said, "Consider yourselves lucky, but don’t ever fall into my hands, or I’ll make you wish you were dead."

With that, he left Qianjin Pavilion without looking back, not wanting to spend another minute in a place where he had lost all face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that you are in my Qianjin Pavilion, I hope you will abide by our rules and not make things difficult for me!" the Golden-Winged Dapeng said with a slight sigh.

The crowd quickly laughed and complimented, as brutes like the black bear were rare, and now the atmosphere became very harmonious with the knowledge that a Golden-Winged Dapeng was in charge.

"Since this gentleman has solved the couplet, congratulations on becoming Lady Yi Yi’s honored guest," the Golden-Winged Dapeng said smiling at the Scholar, then slowly left the hall.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!" Lin Fang turned to the Scholar with a smile.

By then, the Scholar had regained his composure. He glanced at Lin Fang and shook his head, saying, "Well, you... Never mind, I’ll go meet Lady Yi Yi."

With that, the Scholar walked slowly upstairs where Lady Yi Yi’s Maid had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Fang watched him ascend the stairs, his gaze, however, was drawn outside the building, where a strong murderous aura lingered, most likely the resentful black bear, planning to strike at them.

"Well, the Beast of Calamity has been performing well lately, it’s time to give him an extra meal," Lin Fang muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, the Golden-Winged Peng Bird slowly appeared at the top floor of the Qianjin Pavilion, where there was a luxurious loft. A woman was sitting in front of a mirror, dressing herself.

Upon hearing the Golden-Winged Peng Bird enter, she slowly said, "Is it taken care of?"

The Golden-Winged Peng Bird slowly nodded and softly sat down beside her, "Just a minor matter. That big black bear is a simpleton, hid the moment he saw me make a move. However, I suspect that fellow is still harboring ill intentions, probably waiting outside for them."

"That Scholar today, to have relished beauty but now he has to pay with his life, truly a disaster brought by beauty,"

the Golden-Winged Peng Bird sighed like this, but his face was full of schadenfreude. It was obvious that he did not care about the life and death of Lin Fang and others, as long as they did not disturb the operation of the Qianjin Pavilion.

"Then you might be underestimating the situation. If you provoke him, even you might end up dead," the woman said darkly.

When she turned her head, it was none other than the concubine of King Niumo, the Jade-faced Princess.

After faking her death, she had come to Luzhou in the North and opened a brothel like Qianjin Pavilion, with the Golden-Winged Peng Bird as a formidable guardian beneath her.

The Golden-Winged Peng Bird asked with great surprise, "Do you perhaps know those two men?"

"I do not know the Scholar, but I am very familiar with the person accompanying him. The reason I did not show myself is that I fear he would recognize me," the Jade-faced Princess said somberly.

"Who is he?" the Golden-Winged Peng Bird immediately became interested.

The Jade-faced Princess was no ordinary person; having been with King Niumo, she had seen the top experts of the Three Realms.

"Lin Fang, the one wanted by the Buddhist Sect," the Jade-faced Princess said with a hint of melancholy.

Her mind, however, flashed with the image of King Niumo. She wondered how he was doing in Mount Ling and whether the trap they had set could successfully be activated.

"So it’s him!" the Golden-Winged Peng Bird exclaimed, suddenly enlightened.

Although he had always lived in Luzhou in the North, due to the Jade-faced Princess, he was not lacking information about the outside world and naturally knew of Lin Fang’s feats.

To be someone who had fought side by side with King Niumo and escaped from Maitreya Buddha’s grasp, and had been long pursued but never captured by the Buddhist Sect—he was also well-known to him.

"Indeed, it is he. Initially, he fled to Luzhou in the North with King Niumo’s subordinates, and since then there had been no news of him. I did not expect him to appear in Nine Tails City. It seems the Heavenly Net of the Buddhist Sect fails to capture him," the Jade-faced Princess said with a sigh.

She felt she had already held Lin Fang in high regard, yet she still underestimated him. Perhaps this was also why King Niumo valued Lin Fang so much.

This man was like a calm surface of a lake, yet underneath, turbulent waves were hidden. If one was not careful, it was easy to be taken by surprise.

"Impressive, this ability to conceal one’s presence might indeed be the legendary Leakless State. I was so close to him, if he had intended to strike, I might have been severely injured,"

he thought, and a chill ran down his spine upon realizing how close he had been to such a lethal figure without sensing Lin Fang’s might and taking him for just a lucky ordinary monster.

"Most likely, old Niu mentioned that he might come from a prestigious lineage, not only mastering Leakless but his Samadhi True Fire is also at great accomplishment. Had he really wanted to strike you, it might have been more than just injuries,"
