In this world where only the ones who were strong were respected, the most feared faction in Lin Yuan City was undoubtedly the Li family that had a Mystical Lord. Not only that, the Li family was given the honor of holding the great title of governor by the emperor of the Dong Lai Kingdom. No one dared to go up against them.

“Sh*t. Run!” The three men in black did not think that they would encounter Li Feng. They turned around and tried to escape. 　

“Huh!” Li Feng yelled and extended his palm.　

Light green Wind Mystical Power came out of his palm and soon condensed into a huge green snake. The snake pounced at one of the men in black as fast as lightning. The man in black spat a mouthful of blood and a huge gash appeared on his body after he was whipped once by the snake’s tail. 　

“Mystical Master!”　　

The other two men in black picked up speed seeing the skillful Mystical Transformation technique. They dared not save their companion. There was a big gap between Mystical Masters and Mystical Warriors. There was no chance of winning even if they were to team up and fight against the Mystical Master together.

Li Feng smiled slightly but did not chase after them. He definitely could chase after them and capture them with his speed as a Wind-Extreme Mystical Master. His speed was much faster than the two Mystical Warriors in black.　　

Li Feng was not even bothered to look at the injured man in black. He said, “Leave, and remember to tell your master not to create problems again.”　

Li Feng would not have hurt him if not for the message that he wanted to convey. The most important task for him as a guard of the Li family was to share his master’s worries, not to cause problems.　　

The little official told him to protect Xu Yang’s family, not capture the assassin who came at night.　　

Therefore, Li Feng did not attempt to capture the men, let alone hurt them badly. He did not want the Li family to gain more enemies. 　

“Damn. We came here to capture a Mystical Learner deserted by his family but why is the guard from the Li family here?” The two men in black who escaped stopped running when they realized that no one was chasing after them. One of the men in black calmed himself down and said angrily.　

“It must be Miss Qi Xiu. She ordered us to do such a thing without doing a proper investigation on the matter. Young Master may not even know about this,” the other man in black heaved heavily and said.　

“Come… help me…” The injured man in black said from far away. His speed was much slower than the other two as he was injured.　　

“Old Huo?” The two men in black ahead of him felt embarrassed. It was a cowardly act for them to escape without facing the enemy head on and abandoning their injured companion.　

Luckily, the injured Mystical Warrior did not care much about that. He coughed twice and said, “It’s fine, I don’t blame you. The Mystical Master did not mean to kill us, otherwise we would not be alive right now.”　

The two uninjured men in black walked beside Old Huo. They supported him on both sides and quickly rushed back to Vast-Gate Dojo.　　

Meanwhile, the rest zone of Vast-Gate Dojo was brightly lit. Qi Hong was reporting to his father with great respect.　

“Father, you should have seen the expression on Yang Muyun’s face when I handed the duel invitation to the fat guy. It was as if he had lost his mind, he only came to his senses when the person next to him gave him a nudge.” Qi Hong chuckled and said.

The master of Vast-Gate Dojo, Qi Liancheng, nodded and said, “Qi Hong, how do you think Yang Muyun will take to respond?”　

“Yang Muyun can only accept the duel.” Qi Hong said with full confidence. “I will spread the news about the duel to everyone in the city. If Yang Muyun does not dare to take on the challenge, it would mean that Fire-Cloud Dojo is scared of our Vast-Gate Dojo. There will be plenty of disciples from Fire-Cloud Dojo coming to join us.”　

Qi Liancheng nodded and said, “Good. I am ninety percent sure that I can win as long as Yang Muyun accepts the duel.”　　

“Report!” A Mystical Warrior rushed toward them and said in a low voice, “Old Huo and his companions are back, and their mission has failed.”　

“Old Huo? I didn’t give them any task.” Qi Hong was confused as he said, “Let them in.”

“Master, Young Master.” The three Mystical Warriors in black entered together. There was a trace of blood at the corner of the mouth of the Mystical Warrior in the middle, and there was a bleeding wound on his shoulder. 　

“Why are you injured, Old Huo?” Qi Liancheng asked in surprise.　

The Mystical Warrior, with the surname Huo, sighed and answered, “The three of us went on a mission to capture Xu Yang tonight. However, we met a guard in the Mystical Master stage from the governor’s manor. It seems that Xu Yang was prepared for this… We have failed in our mission. Please punish us, Master.”　

“A guard at Mystical Master stage? The governor’s manor?” Qi Liancheng’s eyes flashed.　

Qi Hong came to his senses and said, “Father, let me explain. This afternoon, I was in a hurry to go to the governor’s manor to request for a notarization at the Northern Arena. Qi Xiu stopped me on my way and wanted me to settle the issue of Xu Yang beating up Brother-in-law… I gave her the token and let her settle the issue. I didn’t expect her to do so without doing proper investigation beforehand.”　

Qi Liancheng frowned and said, “I didn’t expect the relationship between Xu Yang and the Governor Manor to have reached such a stage. Even a guard at Mystical Master stage made an appearance. Qi Hong, tell Qi Xiu to stop looking into Xu Yang. Our greatest opponent now is Fire-Cloud Dojo. We shouldn’t create more trouble.”　　

“Yes, Father.” Qi Hong answered.　

“As for Old Huo, you were injured for the sake of the dojo. Go and collect twenty Wolf Coins from the accountant to tend to your wounds.” Qi Liancheng said.　

“Thanks for your grace, Master.” Old Huo gratefully did a fist-and-palm salute. Twenty Wolf Coins was equal to two months’ salary. It was worth it for him to get injured.　

Qi Liancheng frowned after the three Mystical Warriors left.　

“Don’t worry, Father.” Qi Hong said, “The fact that Old Huo and the others were able to return safe and sound tells us one thing.”　　

“What is it?” Qi Liancheng’s eyes flashed.　　

“The protection of Governor Manor upon Xu Yang is limited,” Qi Hong answered. “Otherwise, Old Huo and the others would not be able to return in one piece. At least, the injured Old Huo would have been captured. It shows that the governor manor is not willing to do too much for Xu Yang.”　

“In your opinion, what should we do?” Qi Liancheng asked.　

“As I see it, we should pay close attention to him and capture him when he leaves his home.” Qi Hong said.　

Qi Liancheng pondered for a while and said slowly, “It’s better to kill him off once and for all.”　　

“What?” Qi Hong was shocked. Should they not capture and question him beforehand?

“It’s not important to know why he beat Qi Shiliang up now.” Qi Liancheng said. “The point is, he has the protection from the Governor Manor. It is impossible for us to let him go even if we know what had truly happened after capturing him. We will just be creating a new enemy in doing so.”　

“You are right, Father.” Qi Hong understood what his father meant, and said, “I will send people to track Xu Yang’s whereabouts. We’ll assassinate him once we have a chance.”　　

In the morning the next day.　　

Xu Yang pushed the huge stone blocking the entrance of the cave and took a deep breath of fresh air. He went outside the cave to find an empty place and started cultivating the Dynamic-Static Combined Qi-Introducing Technique. It was his daily morning routine.　

There were three Mystical Cores facing each other in Xu Yang’s Star Ocean and they were all revolving swiftly. They were the three Mystical Cores Xu Yang had formed, the Fire, Thunder and Light Mystical Core. 　　

Xu Yang’s physical strength had increased again after tempering with Light Mystical Power. It had reached one hundred and fifty juns which was a few times stronger than a normal Mystical Warrior.　　

After cultivating a round of Dynamic-Static Combined Qi-Introducing Technique, Xu Yang felt his entire body relax as if there was endless power being generated from his body. He could not help but release a long roar, and his voice reverberated far into the forest.　　

With a pitter-patter, a furry creature dropped in front of Xu Yang.
