Nine Skies: Divine Demon Transformation

One Punch Sends You Flying

Chapter 013: One Punch Sends You Flying

Junyue Hotel's three basement levels covered hundreds of square meters. The basement was lavishly decorated with high-end European furniture. Above the main hall's walls was a huge white jade, about three to four meters in length and width. Carved on the white jade were majestic scenes of dragons and phoenixes, with the imposing characters "Xuan Wu."

When Lin Feng and Yu Ji woke up, it was already the next morning. Just as they opened their eyes, they were greeted by a familiar face.

"Did you rest well last night?" Guang smiled, looking pleasingly at Lin Feng and Yu Ji. Seeing Guang's expression, both of them felt uneasy.

Rubbing his sore head, Lin Feng cursed inwardly. "You knocked me out, and just as I wake up, you act like everything's fine!"

Coldly, Yu Ji asked, "What do you want?"

Guang chuckled, "Miss Yu Ji, don't be angry. Here, this is the healing elixir of our Xuanwu Gate. Once you take it, your injuries will completely heal within ten days, with no period of weakness."

As he spoke, Guang picked up a jade box and handed it to Yu Ji. Without hesitation, she took it, opened the box, and swallowed the pill inside.

"Yu Ji..." Lin Feng was startled. Was it okay to say that and just eat something?

Seeing Lin Feng's concern, Yu Ji said, "Don't worry, if he wanted to harm me, he would have done it long ago."

Guang continued, "I never intended any harm to Miss Yu Ji from the beginning. It was just a conflict that arose from seeking revenge for our brothers who have fought and lived together. I lost my mind for a moment, leading to a clash with Miss. After calming down last night, I realized that Miss Yu Ji has no grudge with our Xuanwu Gate. Moreover, with Miss Yu Ji's cultivation, there must be a powerful force behind her. Why would she have trouble with our small sect like Xuanwu Gate? So, I believe Miss Yu Ji has nothing to do with the death of our deputy sect master."

Lin Feng, hearing this, finally felt relieved as the situation became clearer.

"Really?" Yu Ji sneered. "I bet you found the killer who murdered your deputy sect master."

A clever girl indeed. Guang, however, didn't change his expression. He immediately changed the topic, "If you have nothing to do, please stay a few more days at our Xuanwu Gate. I, Guang, will personally show hospitality to both of you."

"Forget it, we're leaving." Yu Ji didn't want to talk more with this person and didn't want to get entangled with Xuanwu Gate any further. It was just a misunderstanding, and now that it was resolved, she didn't want to stay a second longer.

"Wait." Both Guang and Lin Feng shouted.

Lin Feng spoke first, "Guang, where's my phone and wallet?"

Guang replied calmly, "Oh, I threw them away."

"What? Threw them away?" Lin Feng was furious. For him, a phone and wallet were essential items.

Seeing Lin Feng's tense expression, Guang was somewhat surprised. "Your phone is worth a bit over two hundred, and there's only about ten yuan in the wallet, plus nothing else valuable. So, I threw them away. I'll compensate you, don't worry."

Lin Feng raged, "Compensate! Definitely compensate! Moreover, now that the investigation is clear, and it has nothing to do with us! You said you would compensate us if it had nothing to do with us!"

Guang smiled and took out a bank card. "The password is written on the back."

Lin Feng looked at Guang suspiciously, took the card, and asked, "How much is in it?"

Guang replied calmly, "You'll find out when you check later."

Rolling his eyes, Lin Feng said, "Fine, for now, I'll trust you. If there's not a hundred or eighty thousand, we're not done!"

Guang politely escorted the two out of Junyue Hotel. They immediately went to the bank's ATM near the hotel. There were three or four people in front of them, so Lin Feng queued up.

"Lin Feng, I think there's a lot of money in there." Yu Ji said beside him.

"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up. "The more, the better. I hope there's one hundred and eighty thousand. Hehe... We can live a luxurious life, buy a mansion, drive a luxury car, and buy many beautiful clothes. Haha... But Guang seems like a stingy person, so there might be only a few thousand inside."

"Lin Feng, you care too much about money..." Yu Ji's voice carried a hint of bitterness.

Lin Feng glanced at Yu Ji disdainfully. "Who doesn't love money? With money, you can go anywhere, while without money, you can hardly move a step! Who doesn't love money, give me your money!"

Yu Ji said quietly, "Lin Feng, that's not what I mean. Sometimes, indiscriminate collection of other people's things can lead to loss. You have to understand, the money in this bank card is not compensation for my injuries. The value of the healing elixir already compensated for it. It's about making friends using this money. If we don't take this bank card or don't take the elixir, then we will undoubtedly be killed by Guang to destroy the evidence. Now, it's just a misunderstanding, and we've also accepted his money. It can be considered as making friends, as if nothing happened, and neither party owes each other."

Lin Feng listened in a daze. He had never thought there could be so many twists and turns. However, the clever Lin Feng quickly understood.

Lin Feng inserted the card, carefully entered the password, and checked the balance. It displayed a neat two hundred thousand.

Two hundred thousand! Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen so much money. The most he had ever seen was five thousand! Two hundred thousand, for a child who grew up in a poor mountain village, felt as exciting as winning five million.

"We're rich! Now my tuition won't be a problem. Haha, the total tuition for four years is just over sixty thousand. Now, with two hundred thousand, haha..." Lin Feng was extremely excited, and the excitement in his heart couldn't be released. So, he suddenly hugged Yu Ji tightly and gave her a hearty kiss on her cheek.

Yu Ji pushed Lin Feng away, her face flushed with a mix of shyness and anger. Through gritted teeth, she angrily said, "Lin Feng!" This time, Yu Ji didn't physically hit Lin Feng, perhaps influenced by the life-and-death experience they had yesterday.

A punk with blond hair in the queue for withdrawing money witnessed this scene and impatiently remarked, "Damn it, if you want to withdraw money, do it quickly. Can't you see so many people waiting behind? If you want to be intimate, go home and do it slowly. Don't be annoying here!"

"What did you say?" Lin Feng, who was initially very happy, suddenly turned cold.

"I said..."

"No need to say more!"

The punk didn't react at all. He suddenly felt like a thousand-pound hammer had hit his chest, and a tumultuous force surged in his chest. He then realized his body was flying through the air, directly across the road.

In the early morning, there weren't many people on the street, but about twenty or thirty witnessed this unbelievable scene. A boy, with a light punch, sent a man flying from one side of the road to the other! While in mid-air, the man spat blood, leaving a straight trail of blood across the road, which was about a dozen meters wide.

After the shock of the onlookers, they gazed at Lin Feng's expression, filled with fear as if they had seen a ghost, and then dispersed abruptly. This scene happened to be perfectly captured by a nearby surveillance camera.

"Trouble, let's go!" After withdrawing a thousand yuan, Lin Feng grabbed Yu Ji and rushed forward. They hailed a taxi at the bend of the road and headed in a certain direction.

Guang's home was in a small community in the county. Now that the investigation into the deputy sect master's incident was over, the truth had come to light. What remained was the contest for territory with the Flame Gate. As a ceremonial figure of the Xuanwu Gate, Guang wouldn't intervene in such matters. For a ceremonial figure, it was similar to being a thug—only involved when trouble arose within the sect. As for internal affairs, it was not their concern. Guang had investigated the deputy sect master's death because of their close relationship. Now that the murderer was dead, the rest of the matters were not Guang's concern. As for the Flame Gate being behind it, Guang was aware but lacked the strength to confront them.

Xuanwu Gate, Flame Gate, and Jade Sword Gate were the three major sects in Taiyuan County, each with comparable strength. Although the three were often at odds, engaging in minor skirmishes over various matters, deaths were rare. At most, they lost some territories. Even if someone died, it was usually just an ordinary disciple. For true experts, none dared to provoke another openly. No matter which sect, they didn't dare to act openly against another, settling their disputes in the shadows. The three sects were in a delicate balance, with each reluctant to escalate matters, fearing that Jade Sword Gate might take advantage and absorb both sects. Therefore, any conflicts between Xuanwu Gate and Flame Gate were usually within certain limits. However, this time, Flame Gate had actually hired an assassin from elsewhere to kill Black Eagle, the deputy sect master of Xuanwu Gate, and two outstanding disciples. As a result, Xuanwu Gate suffered significant losses.

Each of the three sects had three innate experts, maintaining a delicate balance. Innate experts served as the backbone of the sects, and the loss of an innate expert meant a significant blow. For Xuanwu Gate, losing one meant losing a third of its combat power. This was a severe blow to Xuanwu Gate, and now, the situation became complicated.

After massaging his forehead, Guang, back at home, opened his computer to play some games, intending to relax and relieve the recent tension. However, just as he was about to unwind, his phone rang. Seeing the number, he had a premonition that it wouldn't be good news—this person never called him for anything good.

"Hello, Captain Qian, long time no see. What have you been busy with lately?" Guang said with a smile, as if chatting with a long-lost friend.

The voice on the other end was full of anger. "What's going on with your Xuanwu Gate? What's Li Tianyuan playing at? He won't answer my calls. Come out now; I'm at Room 213 in the Rose Bar."
