After listening to his daughter, Qian Shang could not help but think of the time when they had been fleeing for their lives.
His daughter had also asked him to invest in a little beggar.
At that time, he had still been somewhat hesitant and only paid a small price.
It was precisely because of this little beggar’s help that they had been able to safely escape to the area under the Tri-Gu Sect’s jurisdiction.
Ever since that little beggar, Qian Shang had never heard his daughter say that she wanted to invest in another person.
Even their previous backer, Jia Ju, had not received such treatment.
Qian Shang did not expect his daughter to actually suggest investing in Zhou Feng this time. It seemed that Young Master Zhou Feng had potential!
Thinking about his previous encounter, Qian Shang instantly made up his mind.
If he wanted to play, he had to play a big game! It was best if he could really find a big backer!
Otherwise, there would be no way to move forward.
“Father! You haven’t told me about the interesting things in the market today!”
Qian Qianqian slowly opened her mouth while Qian Shang was gnashing his teeth in the midst of steeling himself to play big.
Qian Qianqian was blind yet had a beautiful face, so she basically did not leave the house. She usually counted on Qian Shang to recount some interesting happenings in the market to relieve her boredom.
At the same time, Qian Qianqian could analyze a lot of things through these bits and pieces of information.
It could be said that Qian Qianqian contributed a lot to the establishment of this shop.
“Okay, okay, okay! Father will tell you about it later!”
Qian Shang was preparing to invite some workers back. Previously, due to problems with his backer, most of the shop’s staff hadn’t come to work.
Now, he had to hire new staff and quickly send the protection fee to Bitter Bamboo Peak.
It was worth mentioning that Zhao Wu’s henchmen had just disappeared. Evidently, they had realized that something was wrong and ran away.
…
Zhou Feng soon returned to Bitter Bamboo Peak.
The place was the same as before. There was no change.
Everyone looked like starving ghosts. They were either cultivating in seclusion or scheming against each other.
The other peaks still had all sorts of rules, but Bitter Bamboo Peak didn’t have any.
Harming a fellow disciple? This might be a big crime in the other peaks, but that was not the case for Bitter Bamboo Peak.
This also made it convenient for Minister Zhou to act.
“Senior Brother Zhou! I have something I want to consult you on!”
He directly chose a target.
This Senior Brother Zhou had the same surname as him and had joined Bitter Bamboo Peak for quite some time. His cultivation was at the 9th Level of Qi Gathering, which was much higher than his cultivation level.
However, this cultivation level was already considered to be at the bottom of Bitter Bamboo Peak.
Usually, quite a few Senior Brothers would keep an eye on Senior Brother Zhou. Once Senior Brother Zhou broke through, it was very likely that he would be eaten.
At present, the Senior Brothers and Sisters didn’t find it worthwhile to make a move on the Qi Gathering cultivators on Bitter Bamboo Peak.
Even Zhou Feng had many people secretly spying on him daily.
He noticed that Senior Brother Zhou’s mouth kept twitching, and at the same time, he would occasionally let out an ambiguous laugh.
Under the influence of the Demon-Devouring Gu, there were not many normal people on Bitter Bamboo Peak.
Thus, Zhou Feng was already used to such a strange appearance.
He even felt that he was a little crazy.
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
Hearing his call, Senior Brother Zhou was a little surprised, so he turned around and replied.
Zhou Feng could clearly feel a greedy gaze sizing him up. This kind of gaze, which was like a fool looking at a beautiful woman, made people feel a chill without hiding it.
“Let’s talk somewhere else!”
Zhou Feng chose to change location first. It was really inconvenient to make a move on Bitter Bamboo Peak because there were too many obstacles. Even if he succeeded, others might rob the fruits of success.
“Move to another location? Alright! Alright!”
Senior Brother Zhou suddenly let out a strange laugh and then stopped.
It was obvious that Senior Brother Zhou had the same thoughts as Zhou Feng. He had also set his sights on him.
Zhou Feng’s heart became even more determined upon seeing this.
Soon, the two of them walked down Bitter Bamboo Peak, with a few pairs of eyes staring intently at their backs.
Zhou Feng led Senior Brother Zhou slowly into the depths of the forest.
The surroundings became completely devoid of any traces of people.
“Hehe! Hehehe!”
The more remote the surroundings became, the more Senior Brother Zhou let out strange peals of laughter.
Black Spiritual Qi had already slowly seeped out of Senior Brother Zhou’s body.
Finally, Senior Brother Zhou couldn’t hold it in any longer and shouted, “Junior Brother!”
At the same time, he pounced on Zhou Feng, and saliva even flew out of his mouth during that process.
Zhou Feng was already prepared for this, and all the spiritual power in his body exploded.
A punch broke through the surrounding air and directly struck Senior Brother Zhou’s stomach.
A passive attack that was filled with aura was instantly triggered!
Zhou Feng had made ample preparations for this hunting plan.
First, he had accumulated his aura, forming a blade, and then amplified his attack with Bone Coating’s passive effect.
He was able to seize a huge advantage from the start thanks to the two passive skills.
Sure enough, under the support of the passive skills, Zhou Feng’s punch was exceptionally sharp.
In an instant, it broke through Senior Brother Zhou’s protective Spiritual Qi and went through his intestines. His entire arm went through Senior Brother Zhou’s stomach and exited from his back, along with some blood clots and intestines.
Senior Brother Zhou’s sneak attack also broke through Zhou Feng’s protective Spiritual Qi, but it was blocked by the membrane coating his bones.
Even so, a few long scratches were left on his chest.
Senior Brother Zhou was stunned, but only for a moment. He then fell in a berserk state, and pitch-black Spiritual Qi continuously gushed out of his body.
His hands grabbed Zhou Feng’s shoulders, and he bit down on his neck. At the same time, he kept shaking his head in an attempt to tear off the flesh on Zhou Feng’s neck.
The most terrifying thing was that Zhou Feng felt a lump of flesh and blood tightly held his right hand.
Even though he had instinctively reacted due to his Battle Instinct’s warning, Zhou Feng’s body did not have the time to react at all.
It was fortunate that there was no one around to witness this bloody and terrifying scene. Otherwise, many people would have been scared silly.
This was actually why many inner Tri-Gu disciples did not want to provoke the Bitter Bamboo Peak disciples.
The Bitter Bamboo Peak disciples were all madmen, and their physical bodies were terrifying. They would rush up and fight with you in close combat at any moment.
The most terrifying aspect was that these starving ghosts reacted swiftly in battle, like wild beasts.
Ordinary dao arts and techniques could not hit their target, and in the end, you still had to fight with them in close combat.
And once they engaged in close combat, they would not rest until one of them died. It was extremely disgusting.
Now, Zhou Feng was experiencing the Bitter Bamboo Peak disciples’ disgusting face.
This was a physical contest. All other techniques were useless!
“Die!”
Zhou Feng used all his strength and pulled out his right arm, taking a portion of Senior Brother Zhou’s intestines in the process.
The first move just now still gave him a huge advantage.
Without Zhou Feng to support his body, half of Senior Brother Zhou’s body fell to the ground.
Surprisingly, the earlier attack had also shattered Senior Brother Zhou’s spine!
It was also because he had suffered such a heavy injury that Senior Brother Zhou let go.
Facing the fallen Senior Brother Zhou, Zhou Feng gave another vicious kick, sending a head flying.
There was only a headless corpse left on the spot.
