Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 1001 - 998: Elder Yufeng
The wind pillar dissipated, and two figures appeared in front of everyone.
On the left was a burly middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties, wearing a purple robe with red trim. He had a fierce-looking scar at the corner of his eye, exuding an aura of power and authority.
Beside the burly middle-aged man was an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in plain linen clothing. His face was ruddy, like a baby’s skin, giving off an otherworldly aura. His hunched figure only reached the shoulder height of the middle-aged man, but he emitted a psychological pressure that made it impossible to entertain thoughts of resistance.
Luo Feng was not unfamiliar with this kind of pressure. The white-haired elder was undoubtedly a Martial Artist of the True Yuan Realm. Judging from his aura, his cultivation was probably above Yang Dingtian’s.
Swish!
Without any hesitation, Luo Feng grabbed Wang Molin and appeared beside Luotian and Shen Qing, circulating his internal energy while remaining cautiously vigilant.
"Father, do you know who this person is?" Luo Feng inquired through sound transmission.
Luotian’s expression was also very serious. He couldn’t see through the cultivation of these two people, but judging from the overwhelming pressure, they were definitely not ordinary people!
Shaking his head, Luotian said, "I don’t know, Feng Er, what’s the matter?"
"That elder is a powerhouse in the True Yuan Realm."
True Yuan Realm powerhouse!
Upon hearing this, both Luotian and Shen Qing’s expressions changed. They never expected that a small place like Black Cloud City would have a True Yuan Realm powerhouse appear.
Shen Qing stared at the white-haired elder, her beautiful eyes glimmering. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she murmured, "Could he be..."
The people in the square were also taken aback by this sudden change, speculating about the identities of the two unexpected arrivals.
And at this moment, the previously arrogant City Lord of Black Cloud City, Gu Yushan, turned slightly pale, suddenly knelt down before the elder, clasped his hands respectfully, and said:
"Yushan pays respects to the ancestor, Elder Tian Jing!"
Wow!
As Gu Yushan’s words fell, the entire Purple Cloud Square was in an uproar.
"Elder Tian Jing, could it be the Grand Elder Tian Jing of the Gu Family!"
"In the early years, Tian Jing was pursued by a level seven Demon Beast, the Poisonous Shadow Eagle, and was severely injured. Though he survived, he was left with scars, and this person has claw marks at the brow, so it couldn’t be wrong."
"So it’s Tian Jing. I’ve heard he accompanied the Gu Family’s ancestor, Gu Yufeng, on his travels five years ago and hasn’t been heard from since. Now that he’s appearing here, could that elder be..."
"Yes, considering that Gu Yushan called him ancestor, there is only one person in the entire Gu Family who could bear such a title, Elder Yufeng, Gu Yufeng!"
Many people speculated about the identities of the newcomers, and for a moment, there was astonishment everywhere.
"Elder Yufeng, he actually appeared in Black Cloud City..."
Luotian’s expression changed slightly. After a brief pause, he whispered to Luo Feng:
"Feng Er, this person is the Gu Family’s ancestor, a True Yuan Realm powerhouse. Don’t act rashly. If anything unexpected happens, you leave on your own. I will buy you time."
"Father..."
Luo Feng frowned.
Beside him, Shen Qing stepped closer to Luo Feng, pressed his shoulder, and said seriously:
"Feng Er, listen to your father. You are the hope of our Luo Family. Anyone else can have issues, but not you."
Luo Feng felt a bit touched, nodded, and said, "Aunt, I know my limits."
There were no grudges between the Gu Family and the Luo Family. The other party shouldn’t be aggressive. If necessary, we may have to forgo destroying the Wang Family today. Anyway, there will be opportunities later.
To be safe, Luo Feng began considering the worst-case scenario, as he didn’t know how Elder Yufeng would act.
The result left him helpless.
By himself, he had a seventy percent chance of retreating unscathed in front of Elder Yufeng, but now with Luotian, Shen Qing, and Luo Ying present, safely leaving in front of a True Yuan Realm powerhouse was far from simple.
"It’s a pity that if my cultivation were one realm higher, and I had mastered the Demon Form Technique, I wouldn’t be afraid of him..."
Staring at Elder Yufeng, Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with light.
From the aura, Elder Yufeng’s cultivation was only slightly stronger than Yang Dingtian’s, not exceeding the second layer of the True Yuan Realm. Coupled with his advanced age and declining strength, his true capability might not surpass Yang Dingtian.
If his cultivation reached the late stage of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, coupled with the ground-level secret technique that could greatly enhance his power in a short time: Demon Form Technique, he could contend with the elder to some extent.
"Stand up."
Elder Yufeng glanced at Gu Yushan, waved his hand expressionlessly, indicating for him to rise.
"Yes!"
Gu Yushan stood up and respectfully asked, "Ancestor, what urgent matter brings you to Black Cloud City during your worldly travels?"
"You don’t need to ask more about this."
Elder Yufeng replied indifferently, his gaze sweeping over Luo Feng, then looked at the large forces confronting each other in the square and asked, "What’s going on here?"
Gu Yushan’s face twitched. Within the Gu Family, Elder Yufeng’s status was above anyone else’s. Discovering such a scene upon his arrival in Black Cloud City was disgraceful. If not properly managed, his position within the family would be precarious, potentially costing him the City Lord’s position.
With this thought, Gu Yushan’s heart surged, and he glared fiercely at Luo Feng:
"Ancestor, your timing is perfect. This kid, thinking he’s capable, is committing murder spree here. I warned him, yet he disregards our Gu Family completely. I will capture him now and let you decide!"
Turning his gaze, Gu Yushan looked at Luo Feng and coldly said:
"Luo Feng, release Wang Molin immediately and surrender! Otherwise, face the consequences."
After speaking, Gu Yushan waved his hand.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Heavy footsteps sounded, causing the Purple Cloud Square to hum. The guards of the Black Cloud City Lord Mansion advanced towards Luo Feng and the others.
With Elder Yufeng present, Gu Yushan naturally felt confident and spoke with authority, wanting to demonstrate his might as the City Lord of Black Cloud City in front of Elder Yufeng.
Wang Molin, hearing Gu Yushan’s words, was secretly delighted: Indeed, I, Wang Molin, am blessed with good fortune. I never expected the long-lost ancestor of the Gu Family, Elder Yufeng, to appear here. In this case, even if Luo Feng had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare kill me. If he resists stubbornly, even better. I can use Elder Yufeng to remove this brat!
The corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile, and Wang Molin glared at Luo Feng, his voice malicious:
"Luo Feng, why haven’t you released me yet? Do you dare disregard Elder Yufeng?"
Luo Feng furrowed his brows, not expecting the situation to head in the worst possible direction.
"Protect the Young Master!"
The Martial Artists of the Luo Family present shouted angrily in unison, surrounding Luo Feng and the others, forming a standoff against the guards of the Black Cloud City Lord Mansion.
Seeing that a battle was on the verge of breaking out, Luo Feng took a deep breath, ready to release Wang Molin.
"Stand down!"
Suddenly, a voice exploded over the square.
Like a loud bell, the entire Black Cloud City seemed to tremble under this voice, the hundreds of Martial Artists squaring off were stunned into immobility.
