Chapter 233 The Strong Ones Confronted

So, he pretended to be calm, clasped his fists slightly, and said respectfully: "Senior, I don't know how I have troubled you. Please tell me clearly?" His voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of awe and temptation in his eyes. At the same time, he carefully observed the old man's expression, trying to read something from that seemingly calm face.

However, the old man didn't speak, simply standing there silently, like a silent statue. Instead, the teenage boy standing beside him took a step forward. A hint of arrogance crossed his face. He raised his chin and said coldly, "We're here for Chen Xiner. You're getting in the way. Get out of here!" His voice was clear and resounding, echoing in the silent night air with an undeniable dominance.

Hu Fei felt a surge of anger at the young man's overbearing words. The reward of 300,000 Mysterious Crystal Coins kept flashing through his mind, and he was unwilling to give up. Hesitation crossed his face, as he weighed the pros and cons.

But the people behind him couldn't hold back any longer. A ferocious-looking henchman rushed out, his eyes blazing with anger. He shouted, "Who are you? You want us to leave? We're leaving, right? What a joke! You didn't even bother to ask if we were from the Hu family of Jinyan City?" His voice was filled with provocation, his hand tightly gripping his weapon, as if ready to strike at any moment.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from the old man. Like a surging tide, it instantly spread outward. Hu Fei felt a terrifying force bearing down on him, as if an invisible mountain had crushed him. His legs involuntarily gave way, and he fell to his knees with a plop.

His face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He pleaded in fear, "Senior, please forgive us. We will not interfere with your affairs. We will leave immediately." The old man frowned slightly and withdrew his breath. Seeing this, Hu Fei felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly got up and fled with his men in a panic without hesitation.

The eighteen-year-old boy brought by the old man flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

Elsewhere, the members of the Demon Cult had been watching Lin Feng and the others, plotting how to seize Chen Xiner amidst the chaos. However, the sudden appearance of the old man disrupted their plans. Although the members of the Demon Cult recognized the old man's extraordinary abilities, they were overwhelmed by the 300,000 Mysterious Crystal Coins and still considered attacking the old man.

The old man sensed their hostility and snorted coldly, unleashing a powerful pressure. The members of the Demon Cult felt as if a mountain had fallen upon them, and they instantly knelt. Although Jian Cang didn't recognize these members as members of the Demon Cult, he knew that if they were there, someone would attack Chen Xiner if he attacked Lin Feng, hindering his plans. So he decided to simply drive them all away.

After these men knelt, they realized that the old man was most likely a Grandmaster. Fear filled their hearts, and they immediately begged for mercy. The old man didn't waste any words, immediately removing his imposing presence and coldly saying, "Get lost!" The demonic sect members, as if granted amnesty, immediately scrambled to their feet and fled in a panic, without stopping for a moment.

The old man frowned slightly as he watched the demon sect member's retreating figure. He then turned and looked in Lin Feng's direction. A complex light flickered in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "General Lin, I'll meet you." His voice was low, as if he was speaking to himself, but also as if he was challenging Lin Feng from afar.

At this moment, Chen Yu stood guard on a high point, his attention fixed on the darkness in the distance, oblivious to what was happening here. However, Lin Feng suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes abruptly, as if sensing a powerful aura. He sat up and looked sharply in the direction of the old man. His heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and a strong sense of crisis surged within him. His brow furrowed, and he wondered to himself, "This aura is definitely not ordinary. Who could it be?"

The sudden noise also woke up Chen Xiner and Xu Tian who were sound asleep. Chen Xiner rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Lin Feng with a blank face. Her voice was soft and trembling as she asked, "Lin Feng, what happened?"

Xu Tian rolled over and sat up, ready for battle, looking around with a vigilant look. Chen Yu also came down from the high ground, looked at Lin Feng, and asked, "Brother Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Feng's eyes were still fixed on that direction. He frowned and said seriously, "There is a strong man over there." Although his voice was not loud, it made Chen Xiner, Chen Yu and Xu Tian's faces become solemn in an instant.

They immediately became alert, because in Lin Feng's opinion, the strong man he was talking about was definitely not weaker than them, and might even be a Grandmaster. Their hearts were filled with tension, and cold sweat broke out on their palms, preparing for the upcoming challenge.

In this silence, Jian Cang and Lin Feng faced each other from a distance, their eyes meeting in the darkness, like two sharp lasers, probing each other's depths. Their gazes contained complex emotions: vigilance towards their opponent, yet also respect for the powerful.

Chen Xin'er stood aside, her delicate body trembling slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. She bit her lip tightly, her eyes moving back and forth between Lin Feng and Jian Cang, feeling uneasy.

Xu Tian's expression was solemn, his hands clenched tightly into fists, ready to face any danger that might come. Chen Yu protected Chen Xin'er behind him, his body slightly hunched, like a cheetah poised for action, vigilantly observing everything around him.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, his eyes shifting away from Jian Cang and glancing at his companions. His voice was steady and powerful as he spoke, "Xu Tian, ​​you will fight with me. Brother Chen, you will protect Xin'er!"

When Chen Xiner heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, and her voice trembled a little: "Lin Feng, you must be careful."

Lin Feng looked at Chen Xiner's worried expression, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He walked over to Chen Xiner, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "It's okay, trust me." Chen Xiner looked at Lin Feng's determined eyes and nodded gently, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish.
