Chapter 174: Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Early the next morning, Tang Yuan and Ruoshui went to the master hall to handle the matter of withdrawing from the group.
Lu Feng first went to the Spiritual Hall to make up for the punished spiritual merits (the new instructor will be rewarded with 10,000 spiritual merits. From then on, he will receive corresponding spiritual merits per month according to his grade, and those without grade will receive 500 spiritual merits per month).
Then he received the disaster relief materials needed for the mission.
It was different from what I imagined. I thought that the supplies would be stored in the warehouse and collected by myself. Unexpectedly, Lingxun Hall had packed all the supplies and stored them in a strange container that looked like a soy sauce dish.
Lu Feng looked inside the dish container in his hand. There were four or five room-sized spaces inside, filled with all kinds of disaster relief supplies, from dry food and herbs to bedding and mats.
Lu Feng saw that Tang Yuan and Ruoshui had not yet completed the procedures for withdrawing from the group, so he took the opportunity to go to the Qi Hall again and melted the few spiritual jade he had left into three jade arrows.
The price of each jade arrow is very impressive. If converted into soul coins outside the prison, each one is no less than a gold soul coin, which is a thousand times more than ordinary arrow feathers.
The arrow that was shot was clearly money.
Lu Feng's heart was bleeding.
Dongyuan Spiritual Prison, in a resting pavilion.
Jia Tingxi's sneaky colleague Xiang Tianming whispered something in his ear.
Xiang Tianming nodded and confirmed: "You mean Lu Feng took over the task of delivering disaster relief supplies?"
Jia Tingxi nodded and said: "Yes, that boy Tang Yuan will probably go with us. I just saw him coming out of the master hall, and he has probably left the group."
Xiang Tianming took out a map, looked at the geographical location of Qianfeng County, calculated it, and said with a sinister smile: "Your opportunity to vent your anger is coming soon."
Jia Tingxi agreed with an evil smile, and the two began to discuss secretly.
…
Tang Yuan and Ruoshui withdrew from the group, changed back into their civilian clothes, and left Dongyuan Spiritual Prison with Lu Feng.
The teleportation array of the Spiritual Prison could not be teleported directly to the island in Qianfeng County, so Lu Feng and the others still teleported back to Tianyuan City as planned.
With the Mentor Prison Card, there is no charge for traveling to and from the Spirit Prison Teleportation Array, but after arriving at Fenglin Crossing in Tianyuan City, Lu Feng and the others will need to pay for the teleportation to Qianfeng County.
The combined soul coins of Lu Feng and the three of them were not enough to pay the teleportation fee.
"Go to Tianyuan City first, and I'll borrow some soul coins," Lu Feng said.
Tang Yuan asked subconsciously: "Borrow? Is there anyone familiar in the city?"
Lu Feng shook his head. There was no one he knew well in Tianyuan City. All they had were tokens given by Su Qing'er, but it shouldn't be a problem just to borrow some soul coins for emergency purposes.
"Talking as we walk," Lu Feng and his party walked towards the outside of Fenglin Ferry.
"Wow, what a beautiful maple leaf," Ruoshui couldn't help but admire when he saw the purple maple forest outside Fenglin Crossing. He knelt down and picked up a small maple leaf that fell on the ground. He held it carefully in his hands with a soft smile on his face. .
Although he had changed back to his original coarse linen clothes, Ruoshui's whole temperament had undergone considerable changes due to his improvement in strength, and his whole person had a moist aura.
As winter turns to spring, perhaps to welcome the coming of spring, the leaves of the maple trees in the purple maple forest become more and more bright, gradually changing from the original dark purple to lavender.
"The maple leaves will look even better when we come back," Lu Feng said with a smile. In a few days, it will be the beginning of spring. At that time, everything will revive and the flowers will bloom. This is the best season for the scenery of the purple maple forest.
Ruoshui smiled expectantly. Suddenly, his smile faded and he looked forward.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan also sensed the sound of fighting not far ahead.
"Go over and take a look," Lu Feng shouted softly, and the three of them approached slowly.
When they got closer, Lu Feng stopped Tang Yuan and Ruoshui behind him, and pointed at the figure hiding behind a maple tree diagonally ahead.
Tang Yuan went as Lufeng wanted, but when he saw the other person's appearance clearly, his face was full of anger.
"It's Zhao An," Tang Yuan confirmed, "It's true that we are enemies on a narrow road."
Lu Feng pointed at the people fighting and said, "More than that, look at the people fighting."
Tang Yuan looked around and said in shock: "Is it the man in black who ambushed and attacked us that day?!"
The people fighting at the moment were a middle-aged man and a young man and woman. Tang Yuan observed the middle-aged man's moves and found that they were exactly the same as the three men in black who had stopped the sneak attack on them.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan were also besieged by three men in black in the purple maple forest and almost died. Although the middle-aged man fighting in front of them was not masked, he was definitely the one who ran away at that time. A man in black.
Tang Yuan was now certain that the secret attack that day must be related to Zhao An.
Although Tang Yuan's character could not be said to hate evil, he still held a grudge against being attacked and assassinated. He immediately rushed out to help the two young men and women.
"Don't be impulsive," Lu Feng stopped Tang Yuan and said, "It's not the time to take action yet."
Lu Feng took out a jade arrow and polished it before the battle. Tiny lines were engraved on the jade arrow.
While Lu Feng was carving formation patterns on the jade arrows, he was watching the battle in the distance.
The young woman was holding a silver sword and had a very nimble figure. She had been attacking the middle-aged man from the flank.
The young man did not hold a weapon, but he wore a pair of metal gloves on his hands. He used his claws as weapons, which greatly enhanced his attack power and allowed him to confront the middle-aged man head-on.
The young men and women were two against one, but they were still at a disadvantage, and were beaten back by the middle-aged man's offensive.
"Go away quickly, I'm stopping him," the young man shouted at the woman beside him, his eyes full of fearlessness and reluctance.
The woman's eyes were filled with moisture as she turned, looking a little attached. She shouted with a choked sob, "Don't even think about driving me away and making me owe you a favor."
"Hmph, none of you can leave today," the middle-aged man snorted, raising his palm to attack the weaker woman.
"Don't kill her~" Zhao An, who was hiding in the distance, shouted, looking as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
Seeing that the wind of his palm was about to hit the woman, the young man didn't care about anything else and rushed towards the woman with all his strength.
"puff…"
The middle-aged man's palm finally hit the young man's back. The young man held the woman in his arms and was knocked away, with a mouthful of blood spitting out.
"Why are you so stupid?" The woman wiped the marks on the corners of the man's mouth with tears in her eyes.
"Hurry up," the man said weakly, chasing the woman.
Not only did the woman not leave, but her eyes became sharp and she stared at the middle-aged man.
Tang Yuan was stirred by the life-and-death relationship between the two and asked Lu Feng, "Aren't we going to take action yet?"
However, he discovered that Lu Feng had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow without knowing it. The bow was full of arrows and was ready to go. There was a light stream of light flowing on the jade arrow, exuding a strong momentum.
"I originally planned to wait for the two men and women to fight back when they were about to die," Lu Feng said, slowly letting go of the bow string he was holding tightly, and the arrow shot out like a stream of light.
The jade arrow is engraved with a blast pattern, which is a type of formation pattern known for its speed. It is often used to set up a blast formation. Being in the formation can greatly increase your speed.
Although the wind pattern alone is not as powerful as the formation, it can also display terrifying speed when attached to the jade.
Not to mention sneak attacks, even if shot head-on, it would be difficult for people below the Condensing Plate Realm to avoid this arrow.
Just when the middle-aged man who was attacking the young men and women relaxed, he felt a whistling sound coming from his ears. Before he could turn around, he discovered that most of the jade arrow was missing from the center of his chest.
"The preparation was too hasty," Lu Feng was a little dissatisfied when he saw that the jade arrow did not penetrate and was only inserted into the middle-aged man's chest.
Although the middle-aged man was hit by the jade arrow, it was not fatal. At the critical moment, he instinctively avoided the position where the arrow feathers pierced his heart.
"Bah~" A chill came from his neck. The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock. The hand holding the jade arrow covered the blood stain on his neck.
After a few struggles, the middle-aged man fell to the ground.
It was the young woman who seized the opportunity and struck her throat with the silver sword.
At this point, Lu Feng also confirmed his guess about the identity of this young man and woman.
"Damn it," Tang Yuantu shouted. Looking around, he found that Zhao An had disappeared.
"You ran pretty fast," Lu Feng sneered, patted Tang Yuan's arm and said, "Let's catch up on old times."
"Reminiscing about old times?" Tang Yuan looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground in front of him, and said with a clear smile: "I understand, I will go to him to 'reminisce about old times', and maybe I can get some money for the teleportation array."
Lu Feng was stunned. Seeing that Tang Yuan had misunderstood what he meant, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm talking about the man and woman. If your guess is correct, that man should be considered your fellow countryman."
It was precisely because Lu Feng saw the two people's moves and recognized their identities that he did not wait until the last moment and took action in advance, so that he could not kill them with one arrow.
"What? Fellow?" Tang Yuan paused for a moment, then checked the appearance of the man and woman again and found that he had never seen them in Qinglong Town.
"That man is Ma Qiufeng," Lu Feng walked forward with a smile.
"What? Ma Qiufeng?" Tang Yuan followed him in disbelief. In his impression, although Ma Qiufeng was not handsome, he was still handsome and looked nothing like the expressionless man in front of him.
Furthermore, Ma Qiufeng only had the strength of the Soul Gathering Realm, and the man in front of him had just clearly shown the strength of the Chakra Fifth Realm or above.
Lu Feng approached. Although the young man and woman were wary, they showed no hostility. The man stood up slowly and coughed up some blood, thus easing his injuries.
"Long time no see," Lu Feng took out a pill for treating trauma given by Ye Fan and handed it over.
"Thank you," the young man asked after taking it and putting it on the tip of his nose. Then he swallowed it and used spiritual energy to catalyze the effect of the medicine in his body. The injury in Zhongzhang was much better within a moment.
"Are you Ma Qiufeng?" Tang Yuan looked at the young man doubtfully.
The man gently rubbed his cheeks with his hands, and the warm spiritual energy was attached to his fingertips. After a moment, a pale yellow face that resembled skin color fell off.
The face hidden underneath was exactly what Ma Qiufeng looked like in Tang Yuan's mind.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign country, although the two did not have much communication in the past, now they have a hint of friendship.
Tang Yuan said happily: "Why are you here and in such a mess?"
Ma Qiufeng said with a bit of anger: "I accompanied Yu'er to this city to play, but unexpectedly I met Zhao An, a playboy. He coveted Yu'er's beauty and flirted with her again and again, but I fought him off. Later, he secretly killed him."
Tang Yuan firmly believed Ma Qiufeng's words. Zhao An was indeed as narrow-minded as he said.
"Zhao An, this villain, if I meet him next time, I will definitely not be able to spare him," the young woman beside Ma Qiufeng snorted.
The woman is very delicate, dressed in white clothes fluttering in the wind, looking a bit fresh and refined.
"Who is this?" Tang Yuan looked at the woman and asked Ma Qiufeng.
