Chapter 173: Straight to the Root

“It’s as strange as the rumors say!”
“It’s really unfortunate for the Bai Clan to have such a descendant!”
“But no matter what, the Bai Clan still stands behind this person. Ordinary vagabond cultivators probably wouldn’t dare to make a move!”
Seeing Bai Lie announce his background, the surrounding onlookers couldn’t hold themselves back.!!
Bai Lie was indeed similar to the rumors.
Although he was an arrogant and despotic silkpants, he was timid and afraid of death.
Every time he bullied the weak and feared the strong, the first thing he did was to bring out his backing.
He would always use the Bai Clan to threaten those vagabond cultivators.
As long as one stayed in Heavenly Star City for a period, they would learn that Heavenly Star City had four super forces.
One of them was the Bai Clan, which was in charge of the circulation of all spirit beasts.
Usually, at this time, when ordinary vagabond cultivators heard that Bai Lie left the clan, they would be frightened.
If there was any hint of timidity on one’s face, then Bai Lie’s face would be overjoyed.
This was because Bai Lie knew that this kind of person was the easiest to bully. There wouldn’t be many problems as long as he didn’t go overboard.
Bai Lie’s eccentric name could be considered famous in the entire Heavenly Star City.
However, Bai Lie’s status was quite high. He was the son of the current Bai Clan Leader, and his mother’s clan was also quite powerful.
His mother was from the City Lord’s side.
With the protection of two forces, Bai Lie could be considered to be walking unhindered in Heavenly Star City.
To these two forces, raising a good-for-nothing was just raising a good-for-nothing!
In any case, Bai Lie did not consume too many resources. Moreover, Bai Lie’s brothers did not wish to have another competitor.
Therefore, they deliberately connived at Bai Lie’s actions and even stood up for him.
In the end, they created such a hedonistic person.
To such a person, Wang Shu was also a hedonistic person on the surface. Naturally, he had made friends with Bai Lie on purpose.
Even the appearance of Bai Lie and Wang Shu today was deliberately arranged by Wang Shu.
“…”
Seeing Bai Lie loudly shout that the Bai Clan was behind him in front of everyone, Zhou Feng remained eerily calm.
He only looked at Bai Lie indifferently.
Zhou Feng’s sharp senses told him that this person in front of him had no malicious intent toward him.
Therefore, he did not plan to attack directly.
He had always had a clear judgment when dealing with his enemies.
That was whether he had malicious intent toward himself. If they did not, then he could look at the situation.
If the opponent deliberately targeted him and had malicious intent, Zhou Feng would not say anything and directly make a move.
Take for example Wang Shu, who was behind Bai Lie. Zhou Feng sensed strong malice from Wang Shu.
‘He hates me so much? Is it because of that silly bet from the gambling den?’ Zhou Feng pondered.
He did not seem to have much interaction with Wang Shu, except for some friction during the gambling den.
He did not expect Wang Shu to hate him so much. Just because of a woman?
Compared to Bai Lie, he felt that Wang Shu should be eliminated more.
As for the Bai Clan or the other forces, Zhou Feng did not have a clear understanding of them.
In any case, if they dared to harbor malicious intentions toward him, he would take action. If he provoked someone that he could not afford to offend, he would immediately run away.
If he could not run away, he would just die on the spot. There was nothing much to say.
That was what Zhou Feng was thinking at this moment.
“You… You’re not afraid of my Bai Clan? This is one of the four great clans in Heavenly Star City!
“Let me tell you! My father is a Divine Ability expert!”
When Bai Lie noticed that Zhou Feng was still expressionless, he emphasized his backing and even mentioned his Divine Ability father.
‘My father is a Divine Ability expert! What do you think?’
“I didn’t expect to meet that brat, Bai Lie. This time, I should be able to probe out something!”
Li Xin, who had been hiding nearby, was very happy when he saw this.
This way, he would be able to probe out Zhou Feng’s true strength.
Zhou Feng probably wouldn’t have thought that he would be unable to remain low-key.
After entering Heavenly Star City, he had already attracted the attention of two of the four great clans of Heavenly Star City.
The Bai Clan and the Li Clan.
“Are you the one who has been causing trouble behind the scenes?”
Zhou Feng was also a little impatient. Recently, someone had been following him behind the scenes.
The person who caused all this trouble should be Wang Shu.
Because this person’s malice toward him was the greatest, he did not want to waste his brain to think about what exactly had happened behind his back.
Since this person was deliberately targeting him, then he should eliminate the threat from the root.
Zhou Feng bypassed Bai Lie and targeted Wang Shu.
Moreover, while Zhou Feng was asking questions, he also erupted with a terrifying aura.
The dense Blood Qi directly formed a streak of smoke above his head. This streak of smoke faintly had the shape of a dragon.
The surroundings seemed to have been ignited in an instant. His pure Blood Qi gave people great pressure.
Ever since he cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture, not only was the Demon-Devouring Gu expelled from his body expelled, but even his entire temperament had changed.
The dense Demonic Qi from before had completely disappeared.
Now, it had turned into an imposing and domineering aura, like a brilliant sun’s rays.
“You…”
Zhou Feng’s terrifying aura instantly suppressed Wang Shu, and his face was filled with disbelief.
‘That’s not right! Bai Lie provoked you! Why are you trying to find trouble with me? Is there something wrong with your head!?’
Wang Shu had never thought that Zhou Feng would ignore Bai Lie and target him.
Originally, Wang Shu looked like he was watching a good show.
Wang Shu had come into contact with Zhou Feng before, so he knew that Zhou Feng had a fearless personality.
This kind of person didn’t care about what kind of background one had; he was just a hot-tempered person.
After finding out about his personality, it was much easier to go against him. Not to mention, this kind of rash personality was even easier to be manipulated.
According to Wang Shu’s plan, once Bai Lie, this extremely good-for-nothing, provoked Zhou Feng, the latter would not admit defeat and would take action.
Once both sides took action, Wang Shu would also take the opportunity to join in and fight against Zhou Feng together with Bai Lie.
In this way, the matter would become two silkpants targeting a vagabond cultivator.
Wang Shu’s facade would be preserved due to this reason.
One of the important reasons Wang Shu targeted Zhou Feng was to eliminate the threat and secure his position as the future son-in-law of the Li Clan. The other reason was to maintain his facade.
After being provoked, a silkpants would not be able to endure it. Instead, they would seek revenge.
However, the current situation was not right!
Why was Zhou Feng targeting Wang Shu instead!?
“F*ck!”
After sensing the aura Zhou Feng was exuding, Bai Lie immediately fled.
To Bai Lie, protecting himself was the most important thing.
There was actually a hotheaded youth who dared to ignore the Bai Clan and was prepared to make a move in front of everyone.
Bai Lie’s instinct told him to flee.
He would wait until later to take revenge because Zhou Feng’s actions could be considered as ignoring the Bai Clan’s prestige.
Later on, the Bai Clan would seek revenge.
Although Bai Lie was a piece of trash, the Bai Clan’s prestige could not be insulted by just anyone.
It was precisely because of this reason that when many vagabond cultivators met Bai Lie, even if they were extremely humiliated in their hearts, they still did not dare to do anything unnecessary..
