TFHS: Chapter 122

On the second day, several groups of people gathered at the entrance of the Netherworld valley, followed by those seeing them off and the onlookers.

Shi Yan sold his seven quotas to three other companies. Before entering the valley, he made a fortune for the Golden Eagle mercenary group.

There were more essence dan realm experts gathered here than when they were robbing the seven leaf insect flower plants before.

Just the aura exuded by these strong men made the weaker cultivators not dare to get close and they could only watch from a distance.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo also brought Cheng Miao to see Shi Yan off. They were talking to Old Shi and were only ten meters away from Feng Linlang and Wu Yingyan.

Feng Ming scanned them from the corner of his eye and was really happy. This person had scattered a lot of yuan crystals to look for them. Now they were so close, and that person surnamed Wu didn’t notice them at all.

They had just passed by Wu Yingyan before, but Feng Ming did some tricks on Wu Yingyan to ensure that he and the people around him would notice them.

He had used the butterfly powder of the mysterious butterfly, so it would be easier for him and Bai Qiaomo to find Wu Yingyan’s whereabouts after entering the Netherworld Valley.

If he didn’t retaliate, he would be really sorry for Wu Yingyan’s ‘painstaking efforts’ towards them.

There was another thing that made him happy. It was that the young master from the Nie family was superior to Wu Yingyan in terms of appearance, demeanor and strength.

Judging from the respectful attitude of other Nie family members towards him, it could be known that his status in the Nie family wasn’t low. This Nie family member obviously cared about Feng Linlang very much, and Feng Linlang didn’t seem to reject him.

He heard that the Nie family was contacted by Wu Yingyan. If this pairing really happened, he didn’t know how Wu Yingyan would feel. Feng Ming was happy just thinking about it.

Shi Yan waved his big hand and said, “Okay, let’s go into the valley. Don’t delay any longer.”

There was an essence dan realm expert who scolded with a smile, “Aren’t we waiting for you, old man? Now you think we are delaying it.”

“Haha, then I’ll take the lead.”

Shi Yan smiled boldly and took out the seven leaf insect flower plant that belonged to him.

After refining it, this strange plant turned into a light golden color. It was like a fine piece of art that no longer looked ugly and distorted.

Shi Yan held the snake-shaped artwork, ignited it with his own energy, and stepped into the gray area. The artwork released a light gray halo, which excluded the mist.

Such a strange plant had such a miraculous effect. Even Feng Ming was surprised to see it.

The remaining nine people immediately stepped into this halo of light. Under the protection of the strange plant, the figures of the ten people gradually went deeper and were no longer visible.

“Let’s go into the valley too. Don’t let this old guy get ahead of us.”

“Okay.”

Fifty people entered the valley one after another. Every strange plant was fully effective, and no quota was wasted.

Among them were people from the Zheng family and Lu family. They obviously bought the quota from others, and only two people entered.

After everyone went in, the Zheng family only glanced at Cheng Miao and didn’t get closer to seek embarrassment.

Cheng Miao said he didn’t want to see them, and they were very sensible.

After all, it was due to Zheng Qianshu that Cheng Miao was on the verge of death. It was normal for him to feel resentment towards the Zheng family.

However, the Lu family couldn’t see this clearly. One member of the Lu family wanted to come over and say a few words to Cheng Miao.

However, Cheng Miao turned around and left after everyone entered. The deputy captain in charge immediately asked others to protect him and led Cheng Miao away. They didn’t want the young master to come into contact with the Lu family again.

The Lu family’s performances outside the town in the past few days disgusted them to death.

It was just trauma caused by whipping. A healing pill could fix it. Why was he so bloody when he came looking for the young master every day? Wasn’t it to make the young master feel soft after seeing it?

Fortunately, the young man was a man who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He wouldn’t be shaken at all. Of course, they still didn’t want to let the Lu family have the opportunity to speak to the young master.

“Stop them in the back. Don’t let irrelevant people come and disturb the young master.”

“Yes, deputy captain.” A row of people blocked the Lu family from getting closer.

“Young Master Cheng, Young Master Cheng, I just want to say a few words for Lu Rong, just a few words.” The man refused to give up and even called out to Cheng Miao.

Cheng Miao didn’t seem to hear it. Instead of slowing down, his steps sped up.

The other Lu family members shook their heads when they saw this. It seemed that they really couldn’t win Cheng Miao back this time.

This made them want to go and beat up Lu Rong again. They wanted to make him see what he had done. How did he offend this young master so that the young master turned against him so ruthlessly?

In the past, they had regarded Cheng Miao as a member of their Lu family. After Cheng Miao married into the Lu family, the resources and connections of the Golden Eagle mercenary group would be available to the Lu family.

Just as the Cheng family had taken advantage of this relationship to rise a lot, it would be the turn of the Lu family in the future.

However, due to the stupid things done by the Lu Rong mother and son, the way up was blocked. How could the Lu family not complain?

That woman was brought in by Lu Rong’s mother. Now Lu Rong’s mother should be satisfied.

There were many onlookers present who were watching with great interest. They had also heard about Lu Rong going to the Golden Eagle mercenary group with injuries for several days. Some people even rushed there to watch the scene.

Now it seemed that Young Master Cheng would no longer give him a chance.

Cheng Miao and the others walked away. Some people started talking in low whispers.

“They deserve it. Young Master Cheng was so kind to Lu Rong back then. If Young Master Cheng hadn’t saved Lu Rong then who knows what situation Lu Rong would be in now? It is unclear whether he could live a good life. As a result, he has a cousin on his left and a ger on his right to disgust Young Master Cheng. Some people actually say he is infatuated. Ugh, rough guys like us know that this type of man is undesirable.”

“No, it is too late to regret it now. I don’t think Young Master Cheng will give the Lu family a chance. Based on his relationship with Senior Shi, what type of person can’t Young Master Cheng marry? Why does he have to hang himself on that crooked tree?”

“Even if he doesn’t get married, just relying on the Golden Eagle mercenary group can allow Young Master Cheng to live well.”

Cheng Miao said he let go of Lu Rong, and he really meant letting go and not caring about him at all.

After returning to their campsite outside the Netherworld Valley, Cheng Miao quietly asked Feng Ming, “When will you and Brother Da Qiao go in? I’ll cover you. The three of us should just stay in the tent and not go out. I will say I don’t want to go out to see the Lu family, and you guys are accompanying me.”

Yes, there was a ready-made excuse. Cheng Miao probably already guessed that Lu Rong knew he was here and would come over to seize this last opportunity.

“Are you really not going back?” Feng Ming asked with concern.

Cheng Miao smiled slightly. “I won’t go back. I want to wait for my grandfather here. There are so many cultivators here, and no one dares to do anything to me. It is quite safe here.”

Feng Ming accepted this kindness and said, “Okay, let’s go back to the tent and rest there. I guess Xiao Jing will wake up tonight. Then we will see if he has absorbed the functions of the seven leaf insect flower plant.”

Cheng Miao nodded repeatedly. It was just a pity that he couldn’t go in with Brother Xiao Qiao. He knew that with his strength, he would only be a hindrance. Therefore, he would just stay outside and wait.

So just as Cheng Miao said, they entered the tent and hid in there after returning. Even the food and drink were brought in by other mercenaries.

Sure enough, half a day passed, and Lu Rong came in person after receiving the news. He finally no longer wore bloody clothes, but the sick look on his face was unbearable.

Lu Rong came outside the Golden Eagle camp and begged to see Cheng Maio. However, not only did no one send Cheng Miao a message, but they even shouted to drive him away.

Many cultivators outside came to watch the fun, but few cultivators here sympathized with Lu Rong, unlike those in Pingwang City.

Someone sneered. “If you had known this, why do it in the first place? If you really remember Young Master Cheng’s feelings, you should do what he said and stop running in front of him to disturb him.”

Someone else added, “Isn’t it just that he can’t bear to stop receiving the small benefits? He is afraid of being beaten back to his original form.”

“It isn’t necessarily true that he will return to his original form. The benefits he has gained over the past few years have paid off. He can’t go back to his previous level of cultivation. After all, he still received the benefits. He shouldn’t disturb others, just in case he makes Old Shi unhappy and Old Shi destroys him in one go. Let’s see if Lu Rong keeps pestering him then.”

“Look, these Lu family members kept forcing Young Master Cheng. He has stayed in the tent and hasn’t come out since he went in. He probably doesn’t want to see the Lu family.”

“I think so too.”

Lu Rong couldn’t avoid the sound of others pointing and talking, so he heard it clearly. He felt even more embarrassed and resented Cheng Miao in his heart.

He really wanted to walk away in anger. Today, the Golden Eagle mercenary group looked down on him. Once he improved in strength in the future, he would make everyone in the Golden Eagle mercenary group pay.

However, he still gritted his teeth and persisted. It was because he knew very well that he still couldn’t do without the help provided by Cheng Miao.

In the past few days alone, his treatment in the Lu family had continued to decline. Even the elders in his lineage forced him to beg Cheng Miao for forgiveness. It was best to gain back Cheng Miao.

Lu Rong put on an infatuated expression and stood guard outside the Golden Eagle camp. It was as if he wouldn’t leave unless Cheng Miao met him.

This made some people with clear eyes despise him. Without this incident, they wouldn’t have known that Lu Rong was like this.

Feng Ming held his chin and clicked his tongue. “Thank you so much for such a good umbrella.”

Once it got dark, a fire was set up in the camp, illuminating the tent and revealing three figures inside.

A little turtle finally crawled out of Feng Ming’s pet bag. After coming out, he gnawed on a pill and a beast core, as well as a large piece of beast meat and a few spiritual fruits.

With such a large body, it wasn’t known where the food went after eating so much.

Feng Ming picked up the little turtle and checked him. “Nothing has changed. Why can’t I see anything? Do you see it?”

The little turtle was tossed by his master until his limbs spread out. He looked pitiful. Cheng Miao covered his mouth and said happily, “Brother Xiao Qiao, do you want to go to the Netherworld Valley to try it?”

“Yes, we have to go to the field to test it. If it succeeds, we won’t come back. You wait for us here.”

“Okay, don’t worry. Brother Xiao Qiao, Brother Da Qiao, I will be waiting for you,” Cheng Miao said with clenched fists. He had great confidence in these two people.

He was still waiting for the two of them to come back and share their stories of the Netherworld Valley with him.
