Chapter 357 Good, I’ll follow you!
At midnight, plates of hot dumplings were put on the table.
Whoosh!... Hum! Swoosh! Swoosh...
As the family dinner of New Year’s Eve started, the firecrackers sounded outside the house. Fireworks rose in the sky. The gorgeous light and shadows were reflected in the room, sending out the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
Yang Ding took out his cherished 50-year-old Maotai to host Smiling Immortal and Liu Feng.
Everyone had a great meal, and everyone was very tacit about the fierce battle outside.
After the dinner, Yang Ding whose body had not fully recovered rested early.
Liu Feng and Smiling Immortal got some side dishes. They went to the pavilion outside the villa and chatted over some drinks.
“Smiling Grandpa, you have been hiding in An An’s nursing home just to hide away from the Guangming Kirk?” Liu Feng wanted to ask the question for a long time.
Smiling Immortal replied, “Yes. And also from the Dark Kirk. It’s not an exaggeration to tell you that the strength of these two evil kirks is astonishing. Even those traditional sects like Shaolin, Wu Tang, and Emei are not willing to be their enemies.”
“Wow!” Liu Feng rolled his eyes, “Then, as you have said, will the Guangming Kirk come after me?”
Smiling Immortal threw two peanuts into his mouth and said while chewing, “Of course. These two kirks are not like other sects of the martial arts world. They are more like some great agencies of power, like those authorities of the western underground world.”
What?
Liu Feng was slightly shocked.
Smiling Immortal continued, “The Guangming Kirk has three organizations: External School, Internal School, and Dark School. Each school there are several elders and at least one top leader of the legendary level. Dark School serves as a killer institution. As long as those who are regarded as enemies of the Guangming Kirk still exist, they will be endlessly pursued by Dark School.”
“No wonder that my master told me not to mess up with the Guangming Kirk or the Dark Kirk. They would kill me if any conflict arises.” Liu Feng sighed.
Smiling Immortal nodded, “Your master is right.”
“Is there someone that the Guangming Kirk dares not to kill? Are they that barbaric?”
“Yes. If you were your master, I believe that the Guangming Kirk would never dare to chase you but would want to hide from you.”
“Well, Smiling Immortal Grandpa. Did Wang Sheng, your legendary apprentice, have a great feud with the Guangming Kirk?”
“Yes!”
The smile on Smiling Immortal’s face disappeared when Wang Sheng was mentioned.
Another glass of wine went down his throat. He stood up, and then looked at the cold night sky and muttered, “Wang Sheng, this child, he could never be merciless enough, otherwise... Forget it! Let’s move on. I’ll tell you about the Guangming Kirk so that you can guard yourself against them in the future.”
Smiling Immortal talked with Liu Feng until dawn. Through this long talk, Liu Feng had a deeper understanding of the super terrifying force, the Guangming Kirk.
Smiling Immortal floated away like a fairy when the sky began to light up.
After a few days...
“The Left Custodian died, and so did Delxat.”
“Our Guangming Kirk hadn’t shown our authority in the martial arts world for a long time. Was it that some people have stopped taking us seriously?”
“The Left Custodian and Delxat were all killed after they went for a person named Liu Feng. Then, Liu Feng must be the key.”
In the mountains of Xizang, five middle-aged people who dressed up in costumes of Xizang people gathered in a simple wooden house and were talking seriously.
“Our Left Custodian was killed. If we don’t do anything, the Dark Hall would be looked down upon in the kirk. So, it doesn’t matter whether Liu Feng killed our men or not. We have to catch him.” One red-faced old man spoke with grey hair at the temples.
“We got news from the Yan family in the capital. Liu Feng will participate in the Hidden Dragon Duel after the Spring Festival.”
“I think Liu Feng should have already started for Wu Tang by now.”
“Are we going to do this in Wu Tang? It would build up the Guangming Kirk’s prestige for sure. But if we do this, we might become enemies of Wu Tang.”
Several other people opened their mouths. Though those of the Guangming Kirk were very arrogant, they mentioned Wu Tang with restraint. After all, Wu Tang has been a famous traditional martial arts sect in China since ancient times.
“Since the Ming Dynasty, Wu Tang’s martial arts have developed to an extend that even Shaolin failed to compete with them. If we really become enemies, I’m afraid that we can’t take it.”
The red-faced old man thought about it for a while. His eyes flashed with fierce light, “No matter how strong Wu Tang is, we can’t wait for too long. Send experts to Wu Tang now, but don’t do it within the Wudang Sect’s scope. Try to catch Liu Feng under the mountain.”
“Let’s send out the Three Dark Geek as an insurance.”
“No matter how strong the Three Dark Geeks might be, they are only of the Danjin Level. Even the Left Custodian and Del, who reached the force master level, were dead. How can they do it?”
“You’re kidding. Liu Feng is participating in the Hidden Dragon Duel. Three Dark Geeks could definitely take him down. How could the Left Custodian be killed by an expert of the force dispersing level? Catching Liu Feng is the first step to lead us to the real killer.”
After nearly two hours of discussion, three strong men walked out of this mountain. They were in simple clothes, but the thirst for blood was obvious in their eyes.
At the same time, on the seventh day of the first Lunar month, Liu Feng and Yang Shiwen dressed up as a traveling couple and left Donghai.
On the train from the capital to Wu Tang, Su Mo, the first on the Heaven Ranking List, sat beside the window. She watched the winter scene flying through in front of her. The beautiful and calm face was glowing with stunning brilliance all the time.
“I might be able to win the Hidden Dragon Duel this time. If I can’t, there is Liu Feng. Double insurance.” Su Mo suddenly whispered to herself after a long silence. She had no idea why Liu Feng was always in her mind when she thought about the Hidden Dragon Duel.
In the Capital Military Region, a large military helicopter suddenly took off from the camp of the Top Secret Troops.
The old officer, Xu Tingfei, sat in the cabin and said with a domineering attitude, “Go to Wu Tang now. Quickly. I want to see Liu Feng winning this Hidden Dragon Duel.”
At the main entrance of Lu’s Family House in the capital, Lu Yan stepped out with measured steps, “The Hidden Dragon Duel is another chance to fight back. Should I go over personally this time?”
In Han’s Family House in the capital, Han Yichen walked with unprecedented confidence in his eyes, “Finally I come to this. I was degraded into the force dispersing level. But after this period of hard work, I found my force concentrating again. Here I come, Hidden Dragon Duel. After this Hidden Dragon Duel, I shall concentrate on my force again! Ha-Ha!”
In Duanmu’s Family, Duanmu Tong and Duanmu Hongliu went on a Lincoln limousine. The car then rushed towards the highway.
“It’s almost March now. It seems to be some greenery in the southern part of the land.”
Liu Feng stood in the compartment. Looking at the outside of the car, he said with a smile, “Shiwen, how about going down the country and having a relax after this Hidden Dragon Duel?”
“Well, it’s up to you.” Yang Shiwen sat on the couchette and said calmly, almost like an obedient wife.
