Venerable Martial Emperor

Wang Bin had been stuck at the tenth rank for a very long time. This had always been a problem in his heart. Seeing that Xu Feng had arrived later than him, and was now an expert of the Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy, his heart had long desired to become an inner court disciple of the Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy.    

    

When he heard Xu Feng's promise, Wang Bin was so excited that he couldn't control himself for a long time. The Strong Wind Sect that he had created had gradually grown. The only thing that worried him was that he hadn't reached the Martial Essence Stage yet.    

    

"Thank you, Mr. Feng. You are my benefactor!"    

    

Wang Bin held Xu Feng's hands tightly and said sincerely.    

    

Xu Feng smiled. Wang Bin had also helped him a lot. When they were in the outer court, they were in the same boat, even when faced with the pressure of many powerful outer sect disciples. After Suen Tao severely injured him, he saved himself. From a certain point of view, Xu Feng owed Wang Bin even more.    

    

After learning about the approximate location of Essence Crystal Vein from Wang Bin, Xu Feng turned around and walked towards Zhao Loong's courtyard.    

    

The danger this time was even fiercer than entering the Purple Sun Secret Realm. After all, that was only an outer court disciple of the academy, so the difference in strength wouldn't be too great. This time, they were facing two titans, Lu Zhou and his family, and with Xu Feng's strength alone... If they could pull Zhao Loong over... Xu Feng's success rate would be even higher!    

    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng, you are here!"    

    

Zhao Loong had just arrived at the entrance of Zhao Loong's courtyard. Before he went in, Zhao Loong had already noticed Xu Feng. A hearty voice came from the courtyard.    

    

Zhao Loong pushed open the door and entered. He was still as usual, half-drunk and lying on the stone table in the courtyard. However, Xu Feng knew that Zhao Loong's alcohol tolerance was very good. He would not get drunk so easily. This was just his usual appearance.    

    

"Hahaha... Ever since the last time we parted, I have been thinking about Senior Brother Zhao Loong's wine. I hope that Senior Brother Zhao Loong doesn't mind if I come here!"    

    

With a hearty laugh, Xu Feng sat down opposite of Zhao Loong. Zhao Loong waved his hand and a bottle of wine appeared in front of Xu Feng.    

    

He no longer acted like a delicate girl. He unscrewed the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp. Not only was this wine extremely fragrant when it entered his mouth, it also had the effect of strengthening his body. Zhao Loong drank like water every day. One could imagine how strong his physique was!    

    

"Good wine!"    

    

Even though it was the second time he drank it, Xu Feng could not help but exclaim. He realized that he had actually fallen in love with drinking wine.    

    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng, if you have time, come and find me to drink more. I am really bored to death."    

    

Zhao Loong muttered discontentedly, like a child who had been neglected, complaining about the unfair treatment.    

    

"Sigh... I really envy your carefree life! But... this time, I came to find you for a reason! "    

    

There was not much time left, and Xu Feng did not delay. This matter was of great importance, and if he delayed for even a minute, the initiative would be snatched away by others.    

    

"Tell me, what is it? I knew you weren't that kind!"    

    

Zhao Loong raised his brows, and his facial expression turned ugly. Xu Feng hadn't come to drink with him for a long time, but now, he had come to ask for his help. This had changed Zhao Loong's attitude a lot.    

    

Every person who saw a friend whom they hadn't been in contact with for a long time wanted to sit down and have a drink with him. However, that friend of his wanted a Third Grade Medicine Pill from him. If it was you, you wouldn't be happy either!    

    

Xu Feng didn't mind. He told Zhao Loong everything that Wang Bin told him, without hiding anything at all!    

    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng, is what you said true?"    

    

Zhao Loong's eyes lit up as if he had found some kind of peerless wine.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhao Loong, why would I lie to you? But this time, our opponents are the Lu and Zhou families. There are even other powers. If Senior Brother Zhao Loong doesn't want to get involved... I won't force him. "    

    

Xu Feng had invited Zhao Loong to join them. It was a matter of strength, but if Zhao Loong and Xu Feng appeared together, Zhao Loong would be on the same boat as him in the future!    

    

"Why would I be afraid of the Lu and Zhou families?"    

    

Zhao Loong's eyes were high up in the sky. No one knew his strength. Even when he fought with Xu Feng last time, he didn't use his full strength and admitted defeat.    

    

However, his strength was far more than that. In his eyes, the Hundred Battle Ranking in Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy was just a joke between kids. It was childish and ridiculous.    

    

"Alright! Then we will gather at the city gate of Profound Wind City tomorrow morning at sunrise!"    

    

Xu Feng was in a good mood. After solving the difficult problem in Essence Crystal Vein, he did not mention it and started drinking and chatting with Zhao Loong.    

    

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Xu Feng was already outside the gate of Profound Wind City. Zhao Loong was also a punctual person. After that, the two of them gathered together.    

    

At this moment, Zhao Loong no longer looked sloppy like before. He was wearing a green robe. His long hair was tied up. His face was rosy, and the light in his eyes was faintly visible. The stubble on his face had disappeared. He looked like a beautiful young man whose strength and appearance coexisted!    

    

The Essence Crystal Vein was a hundred miles south of the Profound Wind City. The two of them were walking like the wind. With each of them using their own techniques, Zhao Loong's speed was actually slightly faster than Xu Feng's. One should know that Xu Feng's speed could be said to be extremely fast ever since he started cultivating the Ghost Shadow Step. But now, this Zhao Loong who drank every day was actually even faster than Xu Feng. Xu Feng had no choice but to re-evaluate Zhao Loong's strength.    

    

Zhao Loong, who was walking in front of him, was like a spirit bird that had just escaped from prison. He did not forget to tease Xu Feng loudly. "Junior Brother Xu Feng, you need to increase your cultivation speed!"    

    

Xu Feng was furious. He sped up slightly under his feet, but no matter how fast he increased his speed, he could not catch up to Zhao Loong, who was moving like a rabbit.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhao Loong's footsteps are light. Xu Feng admits defeat!"    

    

Last time he was at a disadvantage on the fighting stage, but now he was still at a disadvantage in the casual competition with Zhao Loong. He could not help but feel angry.    

    

"In Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy, there are really crouching tigers and hidden dragons!"    

    

The stronger Zhao Loong displayed his strength, the more Xu Feng had a vague feeling. Perhaps Zhou Tengfei, the publicly acknowledged second place, was not as powerful as everyone had claimed. For example, Zhao Loong. After two encounters, he had given Xu Feng a feeling. No one could guess what he was thinking.    

    

The two of them ran for about two hours before arriving at the Essence Crystal Vein that Wang Bin had mentioned. Standing in the distance, they stopped. This was a mountain range, and there were already quite a number of people who were carrying professional tools.    

    

They were wearing two different types of armor. On their chests and back were huge Wind and Xu words, representing that they were from the Lu and Zhou families. Judging from the Essence Strength Undulation that was emitted from their bodies, most of them were at the Middle Period of Martial Essence Stage and early stage. But now, they were actually surveying this place!    

    

There were also a few old men who were similar to supervisors. They stood by the side and kept commanding these guards. The Essence Strength Undulation on their bodies made Xu Feng unable to see the depths of their strength. This proved that they were a group of experts who were even stronger than Xu Feng!    

    

"It's not simple!"    

    

Xu Feng frowned. Judging from the current situation, the importance Lu Zhou and his family attached to Essence Crystal Vein had completely exceeded his expectations.    

    

"Definitely! There has never been an Essence Crystal Vein in Profound Wind City City before. If it was divided up by the two families, their strength would be even greater, and there would be no one who could stop them in Profound Wind City."    

    

Compared to Xu Feng's surprise, Zhao Loong seemed to be much calmer. He expressed that he could accept everything that was happening in front of him.    

    

Xu Feng wasn't a reckless person. They were still in the exploration stage. If they went forward rashly, they would only expose their tracks. Therefore... They set up tents in the distance and observed the situation in the distance. On the other side. They drank hard liquor.    

    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng, I feel more and more that coming out with you is the right choice!"    

    

As he drank the wine, there was a beautiful scenery in front of him. The sky was blue and the clouds were drifting in the distance. Zhao Loong couldn't help but lie on the ground and sigh.    

    

"Haha, this is a beautiful scenery. I'm afraid that in a few days, this place will become a battlefield!"    

    

Both of them understood the current situation very well. Currently, Lu Zhou and his family had yet to determine the accuracy of Essence Crystal Vein. They had already sent out a large number of experts. Once they confirmed it, the news might not be completely sealed off. All the forces would be gathered here.    

    

"Since we're here, we'll take care of it!"    

    

Zhao Loong was a typical Le Tian Sect, although he understood the current situation. Compared to Xu Feng, he seemed to be much more mature. After all, Xu Feng was only a sixteen year old child. When faced with big issues... He was far from being as calm as Zhao Loong.    

    

For three consecutive days, the people of Lu Zhou and his family had been constantly surveying the area, but they had not found any trace of him. However, the number of people in this mountain range had gradually increased.    

    

"Just the two of you are thinking of getting a piece of the pie?"    

    

Five men with ferocious faces came to Xu Feng and Zhao Loong, their eyes filled with disdain. The one who spoke was a rough man. He had a big bald head and a long scar on his face. He looked even more ferocious!    

    

"Get lost!"    

    

He did not have the mood to talk nonsense with them. In the past three days, there had been no progress in Essence Crystal Vein. Xu Feng's calm heart could not help but feel a trace of anxiety.    

    

"Heh, this kid has quite the character. I'll let you know what is called cruelty!"    

    

With Scarface Man's command, the four underlings behind him started moving. Without exception, all of them were Early Martial Essence Stage warriors. To a group of bandits, they were all very powerful.    

    

The four lackeys shouted loudly, and all of them rushed towards Zhao Loong, who was standing behind them. Xu Feng, on the other hand, was left to Scarface Man! Those who provoked their boss would naturally have to leave the outcome to their boss. This was the rule!    

    

Xu Feng laughed in his heart. These lackeys were really stupid. They actually dared to provoke Zhao Loong. However, Xu Feng did not say it out loud. He could take this opportunity to see Zhao Loong's strength.    

    

Scarface Man looked at Xu Feng with a fierce look. Yuan energy was rolling in his body. He even shouted arrogantly, "Kid, don't say that I'm bullying you in the Netherworld. It has been a long time since someone provoked me!"
