Great Swordsman
Ch.21 - Shadow House

“Senior Xu, your brother seems to have a good talent.”

Huo Tin muttered softly and looked at Gao Gao's increasingly distant back.

“Well.. He's better than he should have been”

Xu Feng shook his head and replied. With Gao Gao Gao's Three Circumference Talent, he should have long since set foot in the First Stage.

Xu Feng himself who only had the One Circumference Talent managed to enter the First Stage when he had just turned 18 years old. Of course, the reason for that was because the predecessor trained his body desperately day and night. Such training could even be spelled out as desperate training.

“If only he was more serious, he should have currently cultivated to the Second Stage.”

Xu Feng laughed softly helplessly, he mentioned Gao Gao's talent which caused Huo Tin to be astonished. Such a talent could already be called great no matter where it was.

“She is really lazy when it comes to cultivation.” Xu Feng continued.

The two of them spoke many things and had subconsciously returned to the main hall. Patriarch Huo Teng was currently sitting with several men, who were roughly about his age.

The arrival of the two caught their attention.

“Brother Xu, sorry to interrupt your time. They are important people who want to meet you.”

Huo Teng immediately got up to greet Xu Feng and was followed by the people behind him.

“Hmm??”

Xu Feng's heart was slightly startled, he felt the aura of the Third Stage being emitted by the four people. They are all the same as it seems, a controller!

“Salam.”

Xu Feng paid equal respect, he did not expect to meet many great people on his first day in Huo Village.

“Border doesn't seem as calm as it looks.” Xu Feng muttered inwardly. He could feel the killing aura of those people, they had gone through countless murders!

“What does a fellow cultivator need from me?”

Xu Feng sat down and did not ramble, he was sure they would not come just to see his appearance alone.

“It looks like you are a straight person. Then it's good for us.”

One fierce-faced man spoke flatly, there was no emotion in his voice.

“We are people from Shadow House operating around the border, we just want to make sure that you do not interfere and interfere with our affairs!”

Xu Feng's eyebrows shot up. He could feel intimidation through his words.

“Shadow House.”

Xu Feng was not affected by the man's manner of speaking. He instead fell silent and began to search for relevant information through his memories. But after searching for so long, he did not find any information regarding the organization.

But there was one thing Xu Feng could confirm, these people from the Shadow House were a group of dangerous people active in the lower region. They basically do all sorts of shady activities.

“As long as you don't bother me, I won't bother you either.”

Xu Feng waved his hand indifferently. He would naturally not want to come into contact with this mysterious group that he did not know about. Their background was definitely not that simple, there was a great power that was supposed to support them from behind the scenes.

“Ohh.”

He just didn't want to add unnecessary trouble.

“Good, as long as there is no clash of interests among us, the people of Shadow House will not bother you.”

The man gave a promising statement. Hearing that, Xu Feng was not affected. The premise was that there was no clashing of interests, it meant that they would not hesitate against Xu Feng if he did not relent when there was a clash of interests in the future.

The meaning behind those words was basically an ultimatum!

“Hmmm.”

Huo Teng who was at the side was slightly displeased but could only snort lightly. He also felt helpless about this. He disliked the group of people but his strength was limited to fighting them. He could only turn a blind eye to what they were doing in his Huo Village.

They were a group of people who specialized in murder, kidnapping, poison, slave trade, and other dirty things.

Huo Teng understood the Shadow House more than Xu Feng. Their strength was like a giant in front of his Huo Clan. They are so strong and scary!

“Then our business is done here.”

The man finished talking and they immediately stood up. One of them brought a wooden box and handed it to Xu Feng.

“Consider it as goodwill from us.” The man chimed in before stepping out and leaving. Their footsteps could not be heard and even the scent of their bodies did not exist, as if their existence did not exist at all.

“Technique it!.”

Huo Teng exclaimed softly as he watched the servants escort the guests away.

“Brother Huo, what does Shadow House actually look like?”

Xu Feng asked seriously. He would never calm down as long as he did not recognize what kind of group they were.

“They are a group of killers!.” Huo Teng muttered coldly and immediately explained everything he knew to Xu Feng.

“They always come and go like shadows, no one knows where their main location is. Brother Xu, you better be careful when meeting them in the future.”

“Ohh it looks like you rated them so highly.” Xu Feng was slightly surprised about Huo Teng's assessment.

“I've fought with one of their members in the past.” Huo Teng laughed bitterly as he lifted his shirt and showed an incision mark on his stomach.

“I was at that time in my peak times as a Third Stage but was still injured by it. It was fortunate that the problem was not a big one so the tension between us subsided after I compensated the Shadow House.”

“He is very skilled in his speed and technique in using daggers is very agile and so efficient. He basically trained his body as a killing machine. I'm sure the people from Shadow House are all the same as it looks.”

Huo Teng spoke with a sense of nostalgia, there was a tone of helplessness in his voice.

“You realized the weirdness when they left earlier wasn't it?”

“True, I did not hear the sound of footsteps and the scent of their bodies. Nah! Not just footsteps, it seems like their whole body does not make a sound at all, even the sound of their breath as long as there is no.” Xu Feng remembered carefully.

“Hehe, the name of the technique is called Shadow Sheath Technique. The technique specializes in concealment that eliminates sounds and scents! The person who fought with me first also used that technique so as to successfully ambush me from behind without me knowing.”

“Hmm!?”

Xu Feng put on a serious expression, he finally realized how troublesome the people from the Shadow House were. How many more techniques do they master?
