Great Swordsman
Ch.75 - After the Fight (2)

The cleaning lasts all night until sunrise. Thanks to the interrogation ability of Elder Yang Meng, he managed to get the Regiment Commander to toss everything out. In the end, it was discovered that there were about fifty more intruders in the army.

As the sun slowly illuminated the land, the remnants of the chaos resulting from the cleansing were still visible everywhere. Many lifeless bodies and blood spots were scattered around the camp.

“Enemies are sincerely shrewd.” Xu Feng muttered softly as he watched the soldiers lift up the corpses. Despite being enemies, he inevitably had to admit their determination and cleverness.

“I agree.” Zhao Quan sighed at Xu Feng's words and looked at him with a feeling of gratitude. If not for Xu Feng, they would probably still not know if there were many flies hiding within their army.

Just thinking about the consequences alone had already left Zhao Quan's body goosebumps.

“Fen’er, I really don't know how to thank you.” Elder Yang Meng chimed in sincerely. The people who were around them were inevitably instantly shocked by the way Elder Yeng Meng called Xu Feng, even Xu Feng himself was similarly shocked.

“Elder, this is my responsibility as well!” Xu Feng replied with a little awkwardness. He was not used to being called intimate by someone, let alone he had only met Elder Yang Meng for a few days.

“Haha.. No need to be humble boy.” Elder Gong Heng laughed out loud as he patted Xu Feng on the shoulder in a friendly manner. He was honestly very amazed at this brat, at his young age yet had already achieved such an incredible feat. Gong Heng recalled when he was the same age as Xu Feng, he was still at the Third Stage back then. Comparing them made Gong Heng's heart ache a little.

The conversation between them was naturally witnessed by many people. They were all then curious about the identity of Xu Feng who was able to casually talk to the higher-ups of the troops. After all, not many people could gain the respect of the Elders of the Forest Eagle Sect Core.

Even the Patriarch of the Great Family needed to treat these Elders carefully.

“Tell me what you want.” Gong Heng added.

Hearing that, Xu Feng's eyes twinkled. He was not a man who hesitated and directly asked for the Spiritual Stone. The Forest Eagle Sect was a big sect, they definitely had abundant reserves of Spiritual Stones.

“...” Yang Meng, Gong Heng and Zhao Quan were stunned at Xu Feng's request. It was not that Xu Feng's request was too excessive, on the contrary because the demand was arguably very small. Spiritual Stones are indeed precious, but there are still many things that are more valuable than Spiritual Stones, such as weapons or pills. To the three of them, Xu Feng's request was extremely strange.

“Fen’er, don't you ask too little?” Elder Yang Meng immediately reminded Xu Feng gently, he felt that Xu Feng was too careful that he only asked for a small reward.

However, Xu Feng shook his head and said that he only wanted the Spiritual Stone. Elder Yang Meng tried to remind once again and mentioned that the Forest Eagle Sect was famous for its ability in forging weapons.

But no matter what Yang Meng said, Xu Feng still did not get tempted. Weapons were indeed very important, but nothing was as important as the progress of his cultivation.

It is rare to find a youngster who can control his desires, Elder Gong Heng thought.

As they were busy in conversation, the team that was yesterday assigned to pick up Huo Teng and his entourage finally arrived. Xu Feng then said that he wanted to meet his old friend so as to withdraw.

The three men nodded and left, they also still had many tasks to complete. Xu Feng then went towards the entourage parked outside the camp.

When Xu Feng arrived, several people had already noticed him, including Huo Teng and the Elders of Huo Village. They had been restless from the start from feeling inferior to being near a large army, especially when the team that picked them up was filled with people from the Fourth Stage.

“Brother Xu, glad to see you're okay.” Huo Teng hurriedly approached Xu Feng and clasped his hands tightly. The restlessness in his heart was also reduced by Xu Feng.

“It's good to see you too.” Xu Feng greeted back, he heaved a sigh of relief when he realized there was not the slightest bit of damage being experienced by the entourage. It seems like their trip is fine.

“Master, our task is done. We announce ourselves.” One of the men who was on the team approached Xu Feng and gave a greeting. Although he had yet to figure out how powerful Xu Feng was, but for Zhao Quan who asked them himself to pick up this small village, he was sure Xu Feng was definitely not a mediocre person.

“Thank you.” Xu Feng nodded and gave a greeting as well, he appreciated people with this kind of straight character.

After the team left, there was only Xu Feng and the Huo Village entourage. Huo Teng who from the beginning was speechless then sighed while glancing at Xu Feng elaborately, “I can no longer see through you, even Fourth Stage people can follow your orders.”

Xu Feng only chuckled softly and did not intend to explain any further. Xu Feng knew that if he explained the actual situation, the relationship between them would turn even more awkward. After all no matter how close they were, if the distance between the two was already too far away, there would appear a stretch.

Although Xu Feng knew that he could not hide the truth forever and that sooner or later everyone would find out his strength, he did not want to damage it too early.

Xu Feng then called someone and asked him to deliver a message to Zhao Quan. Since the matter was over, Xu Feng did not want to stay any longer in this place. He still had many things to accomplish, including that his name had already disappeared for too long in the Shadow House.

“Talk to Elder Zhao Quan that I will return to the Village of Xue.” Xu Feng only gave a simple message and the guard who was initially confused for not knowing Xu Feng immediately straightened up. Anyone who could come into contact with Zhao Quan could be certain to be an outstanding individual. The guard immediately turned his body away in a hurry.

When Huo Teng heard what Xu Feng said, his eyeballs almost popped out. He naturally knew who Zhao Quan was! But Huo Teng was more surprised by how Xu Feng could be so close to that famous Stage Seven expert.

Xu Feng on the other hand did not care. As for the reward that Elder Yang Meng would give, Xu Feng was sure Zhao Quan already knew what to do. The old man would definitely send someone to take him to the Xue Village so Xu Feng didn't really care.
