Chapter 239: How to resolve hatred

~15 min read 2,840 words

The dark golden "Red Qilin," escorted by two black cars, drove out of the Wu University school gate.

The motorcade drove all the way to the Zhang residence and stopped outside the Zhang residence gate.

Zhang Zedong personally waited outside the gate with people.

He is the Sword-Wielding Envoy of the General Zhige Academy, an official of the Imperial Court, and his official duties are still very busy.

But today, upon learning that Li Fei was coming, he pushed aside all official duties at the first opportunity, returned to the Zhang residence, and personally welcomed him at the gate!

Because of the Shangguan Xiao affair, the prestige the Zhang family had finally rebuilt fell to the bottom again.

Fortunately, the Green-Faced Ghost King, as an ally, was still there, and the Qingyuan Property Management Company and the Green-Faced Villa were not implicated.

But without Shangguan Xiao, the "bond" between the Zhang family, the Green-Faced Ghost, and Li Fei had weakened too much; whether they would cooperate together in the future, the Zhang family members had no bottom in their hearts.

Now that Li Fei, this "First in History," suddenly took the initiative to propose coming to the Zhang family, the entire Zhang family dared not slight him.

But Li Fei was not the Green-Faced Ghost King after all; having all the high-level officials go to welcome him would appear too demeaning, so ultimately it was Zhang Zedong, the head of the first branch, who welcomed Li Fei.

"Xiao Fei, long time no see."

Zhang Zedong greeted him proactively.

Li Fei nodded, his voice a bit hoarse: "Please take me directly to the refinery."

He appeared somewhat arrogant, but Zhang Zedong did not mind this.

He is the First in History; what's wrong with being a bit wild?

If he weren't wild, would he still be a young man?

"Good, please come in."

Zhang Zedong gestured to the side.

Previously, Li Fei had the Qingyuan Property Management Company send the corpses of the two exotic beasts of the "Beast King" Yu Longqing to the Zhang family, asking the Zhang family to find people to help dispose of them.

Grade 5 superior exotic beasts—everything on them is treasure!

They can be used to make protective clothing, exotic weapons, and can also make Grade 5 implants.

Inside the Zhang family residence, there was a small workshop specially used for refining exotic beasts, and it had the top-tier batch of craftsmen in all of Datong Fucheng!

This was also the reason Li Fei handed the two exotic beasts to the Zhang family.

Now that nearly two months had passed, Li Fei came to the Zhang family to check the progress and accept the finished products.

"The scale armor of the Demon-Horned Tiger Beast has very outstanding defensive power; if used to make protective clothing, the defensive power can even approach Level 6!"

Zhang Zedong introduced while leading the way for Li Fei:

"Our Zhang family's masters and craftsmen are all top-tier; the conclusion the masters finally gave is that the full-body scale armor of one Demon-Horned Tiger Beast can produce three top-tier Level 5 protective suits!"

Level 4 protective clothing can block close-range rifle fire, and Level 5 protective clothing can block close-range machine gun strafing.

Level 6 protective clothing can even withstand the bombardment of small-caliber artillery without breaking!

Level 6 protective clothing can also have a very strong weakening effect on high-level strength, making it equipment even more precious than Level 6 exotic weapons; even a Martial Arts Master might not be able to obtain a piece of Level 6 protective clothing.

The Level 5 protective clothing made from the scale armor of the Demon-Horned Tiger Beast also belongs to the most top-tier kind among protective clothing of the same level, and its defensive power is very close to Level 6!

"The defensive power of the Thunder-Light Snow Leopard Beast is relatively poor, and it can only produce three Level 4 protective suits. Besides making protective clothing, according to the Ghost King's previous request, we also used the body materials of the two exotic beasts to make two Level 5 exotic weapons: a shield and a bow."

Zhang Zedong continued to introduce:

"The shield was mainly made using the bones of the Demon-Horned Tiger Beast, and its scales were also added; its defensive power is even stronger than Level 6 protective clothing. The bowstring of the bow was made using the tail of the Thunder-Light Snow Leopard Beast, which can give the arrows a lightning attack."

Exotic weapons must not only consider hardness or sharpness, but also other characteristics, such as amplification of Innate Qi and strength, or whether there are any special functions.

The shield made using the Demon-Horned Tiger Beast is comparable to a Level 6 exotic weapon in defensive power, but it is not outstanding in other aspects, so it is still only a Level 5 exotic weapon.

Besides strong defensive power and great strength, the Demon-Horned Tiger Beast has no other characteristics, so its body materials are only suitable for making shields.

As for that Level 5 bow, although Li Fei is not skilled at using a bow, the most precious thing about the Thunder-Light Snow Leopard Beast is that tail; to utilize it well, one must either use it to make a whip or only use it to make a bowstring.

Compared to a whip, a bow has more places where it can be used, and perhaps it can exert miraculous effects in the future.

That was why, when Li Fei was initially deciding on the design direction, he chose a shield and a bow.

"Finally, there is the production of the implants, which can produce two Grade 5 superior implants."

"Currently, the protective clothing has all been completed, the two exotic weapons are still missing the final forging, and it is expected that they can be completed within a few days; the two implants will still need at least one month."

Middle-three-grade implants are only used by Martial Arts Masters; if taken out to be sold directly, they might not fetch a good price, but they can be kept to exchange for implants one needs in the future.

Introducing along the way, Zhang Zedong led Li Fei to a small workshop in the backyard of the Zhang residence.

"Please come in."

Zhang Zedong gestured to the side.

When Li Fei went to the Zhang family to "accept" the items, the Green-Faced Villa was holding a funeral.

The entire villa was hung with white cloth, white lanterns, and wreaths were placed.

The Green-Faced Ghost King appeared personally, bringing people to transport two coffins from outside the city all the way into the Green-Faced Villa.

Subsequently, he invited no one and began to hold a memorial service behind closed doors.

When the Green-Faced Ghost King brought the two coffins into the city, a group of people boarded a train.

A coffin was also sent onto the train.

Inside this coffin was the charred corpse of Yan Shijin.

The people who boarded the train, besides the officials of the investigation team, also included Wen Ke, Guan Haoxuan, and others who planned to go to the provincial capital with Xu Jing and join the new university in the future.

After the incident two days ago, seeing that Governor Bian Jingru intended to tear his face with the provincial capital, the officials of the investigation team quickly received orders to return.

After finishing all the finishing work, the investigation team returned to the provincial capital today on a special train from the provincial capital.

Wen Ke and the others who resigned from Wu University traveled with them.

There were no other passengers on the special train; besides the investigation team and Wen Ke and the others, only the guards sent by the provincial capital remained.

"Lord Lu specially sent four teams of Canglin Guards this time to escort everyone; everyone can rest assured."

Inside the carriage, a sturdy man said with a smile to the officials of the investigation team.

His name is Song Tiansen, and like the deceased "Rift-Dragon Hand" Fan Yan, he is also a guest of the Security Department of the provincial capital government building and is a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse.

This special train from the provincial capital to Datong Fucheng was led by him, responsible for escorting the officials of the investigation team back.

"Even the Canglin Guards were sent; Lord Lu is truly thoughtful."

"Yes, now we can rest assured."

"Those petty people will certainly not dare to act recklessly!"

"..."

The officials of the investigation team praised one after another.

There are many families with the surname Lu in the Great Lan Dynasty, but as long as "Canglin Lu Family" is mentioned, people know this refers to the Lu family, one of the "Ten Great Clans."

The ancestral home of the Lu family is in Canglin City, and the Canglin Guards are the Lu family's unique guards.

Similar to the Qiming Guards and the Wu'an Guards, a Canglin Guard is composed of six Qi-Refining Martial Artists; by forming a formation, they can rival a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse after joining forces!

This time, Lu Wenyao not only sent Song Tiansen and another Dao Foundation stage Security Department guest, but also sent four teams of Canglin Guards.

This made the officials of the investigation team feel much more at ease.

The reason they did not leave Datong Fucheng immediately, besides having finishing work to do, was also waiting for the provincial capital to send people to pick them up.

Governor Bian Jingru had already torn his face with the provincial capital; expecting Datong Fucheng to properly escort them back was unrealistic, so these officials of the investigation team naturally had to consider their own safety issues.

Upon learning that Hao Yi was dead, the only thing they needed to worry about was that Green-Faced Ghost King.

"Just received news that the Green-Faced Ghost King escorted two coffins from outside the city into the city and is now holding a funeral at the Green-Faced Villa; it looks like he shouldn't act recklessly."

An official of the investigation team said.

"The day Hao Yi robbed the execution ground, the Green-Faced Ghost also appeared publicly, but didn't a Blood-Faced Ghost also come to the execution ground? Who knows if the other party will use the same method this time, and we will encounter a Blood-Faced Ghost?"

Someone put forward a different view.

"I asked Professor Wen and Professor Guan, and they both said that the Blood-Faced Ghost was certainly severely wounded by Master Xu and cannot recover in a short time."

"Really?"

"Professor Guan is fourth on the Wind and Cloud List; he won't see it wrong."

"..."

While everyone was discussing, the train slowly started.

"Are you lords overestimating that Green-Faced Ghost too much?"

Song Tiansen, who had been listening to everyone's discussion, couldn't help but speak:

"With two professors from Wu University, with me and Guest Liu, and four teams of Canglin Guards, even if the Green-Faced Ghost were in his prime, he might not be able to rival us, let alone that he is highly likely to have been severely wounded?"

He and the other Dao Foundation stage guest, plus Wen Ke and Guan Haoxuan, made four Dao Foundation stages.

Among them, Wen Ke and Guan Haoxuan were both powerhouses on the Wind and Cloud List.

Four teams of Canglin Guards, in the case of forming a formation, were equivalent to four Dao Foundation stage combat powers in a short time.

Added together, that was eight Dao Foundation stage combat powers!

Additionally, there were over a dozen special-grade lecturers from Wu University; these people were all at the peak of the Qi-Transformation stage and each had their own unique skills, otherwise they couldn't be rated as special-grade by Wu University.

Adding these people together, how could they also top two Dao Foundation stage combat powers?

Calculating it, the guard lineup of this special train was almost equivalent to possessing ten Dao Foundation stage combat powers!

With this lineup, if a Martial Arts Master didn't come, Song Tiansen didn't know how he could lose?

So he felt that these officials of the investigation team were truly overestimating that Green-Faced Ghost.

At the same time, when these people were discussing the Green-Faced Ghost, Guan Haoxuan in the next carriage was also discussing the Blood-Faced Ghost encountered that day with Wen Ke:

"Do you think it's possible for the other party to take action?"

Wen Ke, wearing glasses, looked out the window gently:

"I don't know."

Seeing this, Guan Haoxuan said no more, only silently stroking the scabbard of his sword.

In the battle two days ago, he successfully deceived the Blood-Faced Ghost's perception and slashed the other party's neck with one blade, but that blade ultimately returned without success.

This was the first time he had encountered such defensive power.

However, he did not believe there was a defense in this world that could not be broken; at least at the Dao Foundation stage, he did not believe anyone could do this.

The Blood-Faced Ghost was slashed by him; he must also have paid a price, it's just that this price could not be seen from the surface.

"If we encounter him again, then slash a few more blades and see how many blades you can take?"

Guan Haoxuan thought to himself.

Instead, he was somewhat looking forward to encountering that Blood-Faced Ghost again.

He wanted to verify his blade technique.

The train drove out of Datong Fucheng, all the way south, driving toward the direction where the provincial capital was located.

The first railway built in Datong Fucheng went straight to the provincial capital, and since this special train did not stop along the way, it could arrive at the provincial capital before tomorrow night.

After the train had been driving for nearly ten hours, it had already driven out of the territory of Datong Fucheng and entered the neighboring Qingli Fucheng.

At this time, it was already late outside, and everyone in the carriage began to have dinner.

Two armed guards finished changing shifts with their companions and prepared to return to another carriage to eat.

Besides martial artists, there were dozens of ordinary armed guards on this train.

The two carriages in the very middle were occupied by the investigation team officials and Wen Ke and the others respectively.

The carriage in front was occupied by four teams of Canglin Guards.

The two carriages in front of that were where dozens of armed guards stayed.

The two guards pushed open the door while talking and laughing and walked into the first carriage; over a dozen guards were already eating inside.

Looking at the oily fat meat in the trays, the two swallowed their saliva instantly:

"Whoa, following the lords on a business trip, the style is just different; eating so well."

"Hahaha, come quickly, there is still plenty of meat!"

Their companions greeted the two to sit down.

Just as the two intended to sit down, the carriage door in front was suddenly pushed open.

A thick smell of blood rushed toward them!

The two looked up subconsciously, only to see a man wearing black martial arts clothes, not tall, and looking very fierce, push the door and walk in.

In the carriage behind the man, corpses that had been cut open lay in pools of blood.

The man was like a demon walking out of hell pushing the door!

The two guards were stunned for a moment; before they could react, the man who had entered pushed the door and walked forward, disappearing from their sight.

The next second, a blood-red light flashed from this end of the carriage to the other end instantly.

Wherever the blood light passed, seats, human bodies, and firearms were all cut in half!

Blood, internal organs, cotton wool inside the seats, and parts inside the firearms scattered in an instant, filling the entire carriage.

"Situation!"

In the carriage behind, the four teams of Canglin Guards sensed the abnormality and stood up one after another.

Some held blades, some held shields, strength erupted from within their bodies, hooking up with the companions around them, forming a formation.

The next second, the fierce-looking man pushed the door and walked into this carriage.

The person who came was naturally Li Fei.

Like that day, he let his true self and the Green-Faced Ghost appear publicly, and then secretly infiltrated this special train as the "Blood-Faced Ghost."

He waited until the train drove out of Datong Fucheng before suddenly erupting and taking action.

After Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao died, Li Fei did not appear hysterical, but instead appeared very calm.

But that did not mean there was no hatred in his heart.

On the contrary, this hatred was like a surging flood, difficult to resolve!

How to resolve hatred?

Resolve it with killing!

Seeking monthly tickets.

There is another chapter in the evening.
