Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Immortal Lives! (Second Update)

“`

Regarding the concerns of the Tian Family High-Rank Martial Master, Feng Jun didn’t pay much attention—he had an exit strategy.

Indeed, he was very curious as to why this person would say such a thing, so he asked indifferently, “What suggestions do you have?”

Seeing him inquire, the High-Rank Martial Master forced a smile, “The Tian Family is willing to support the Divine Doctor by exerting pressure on the Zhao Family Fortress, and we ask for a chance to make reparations.”

He didn’t know why the other party was called the Divine Doctor, but since Lone Wolf referred to him as such, he followed suit.

Feng Jun gave him a meaningful look, “Exerting pressure… is this considered your reparation to me?”

“Of course not,” the High-Rank Martial Master said with a smile, “If the Divine Doctor has any requirements, just speak them, and the Tian Family will comply. As for the Zhao Family Fortress, their presumptuous provocation of the Divine Doctor led to the death of Tian Family Disciples…”

At this point, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke with a sinister tone, “The Tian Family was originally going to settle accounts with them… If they dare to disregard the Tian Family’s word, the Zhao Family can expect to weep.”

When it came to the resources of the Tian Family, they were much stronger than the Zhao Family. Although they were not from Zhige County, but from a neighboring one, these regional differences hardly mattered once they took action.

Feng Jun could happily accept such proactive flattery, but why did he still feel that something was off?

He pondered for a moment, then continued with a frown, “If this matter can be easily resolved, then why did you warn us earlier that the Zhao Family might use the power of the Official Government? Is this meant to emphasize the exceptional status of the Tian Family?”

The High-Rank Martial Master’s mouth twitched inconspicuously: If the Tian Family does a favor, shouldn’t we be acknowledged for it?

Otherwise, why should you feel grateful?

Of course, he definitely couldn’t say that, so he could only offer a sheepish smile, “This… We just want the Divine Doctor to feel the sincere regret of the Tian Family and to verify our worth.”

Feng Jun could accept this reasoning. Even if a fallen woman is doing business, she must first squeeze her thighs and reveal herself a bit to show her value, right?

However, when he glanced at the fallen Early-Rank Martial Master, more doubts arose, “The Tian Family has lost a Clan member, a Martial Master no less, can you really not mind?”

Blood relations and family bonds are highly valued in this realm. If a Clan member is killed without any reaction, it can severely affect the Clan’s cohesion.

The High-Rank Martial Master opened his mouth to speak, but Lang Zhen coughed loudly, “Cough, think twice before you speak.”

The latter turned his head discontentedly toward Lone Wolf. When I’m speaking, is it your place to warn me?

After pondering for about ten seconds, his gaze toward Lone Wolf softened a bit, “Of course we grieve the death of our Clan member, but this cannot be blamed on the Divine Doctor. If blame is to be assigned, it falls on us for becoming blinded by greed and troubling someone we shouldn’t have.”

Feng Jun looked at him thoughtfully, then glanced at Lone Wolf and coughed lightly, “Alright, get up. Those who need treatment, get treated. Lao Lang, clean up the battlefield.”

The High-Rank Martial Master finally got up from the ground. He first checked the injuries of his Clan’s Early-Rank Martial Master, then took out Pills and fed them to him—the Pills he used were somewhat stronger than those used by other Martial Masters in the Clan.

After seeing to his Clan member, he stepped forward to ask, “Divine Doctor, can I assist in cleaning up the battlefield?”

Feng Jun glanced at him indifferently, “Cleaning up the battlefield, such a coveted task… do you think I would entrust it to you?”

Cleaning up the battlefield was not only Lang Da Mei’s favorite activity, but also loved by all Martial Cultivators, especially now, with an Innate Expert lying on the ground, certainly not lacking valuable belongings.

The High-Rank Martial Master realized this and couldn’t help but tremble: If it weren’t for my quick surrender, I too would be lying there, and my possessions would probably become the spoils of others, right?

He gave a sheepish smile, “Divine Doctor, I am just looking to help, and if you need any valuables, the Tian Family can provide.”

“Hmm, that’s right, I haven’t asked for compensation yet,” Feng Jun suddenly remembered, then walked to one side, picked a rock to sit on, and took out a cigarette to light with his lighter.

He took a deep, satisfying drag on his cigarette and said slowly, “Tell me, what does the Tian Family have that could interest me?”

He had a hunch about why the other party was arrogant at first and then respectful, and it was also for this reason that Lone Wolf warned him—don’t you say anything careless.

Indeed, his guess was spot on. This High-Rank Martial Master named Tian Yangni had also observed Feng Jun’s instantaneous disappearance during the battle.

Only Luo Wendao, Tian Yangni, and Lang Zhen had noticed this moment.

The Zhao Family Fortress people were not at the scene and were too far away, with the chaotic battlefront, it was difficult for them to get a clear view.

Those fighting in the arena were also desperately engaged in combat and could not afford to be distracted.

For example, the Deng brothers fighting together against an Early-Rank Martial Master could hardly afford to be inattentive.

Tian Yangni noticed Feng Jun because he had been shot in the leg and, fearing he might be shot again, did not dare to retreat.

As for Lang Zhen paying attention to Feng Jun, that was even more normal. Feng Jun had repelled his opponent, granting him valuable rest, so of course, he would keep an eye on the Divine Doctor’s movements.

Without further ado, when Tian Yangni realized that Feng Jun could disappear into thin air, his reaction was exactly like Luo Wendao’s, feeling a chill run down his spine as large beads of sweat instantly appeared: “Damn… is this an Immortal?”

While he wouldn’t hesitate to snatch opportunities left by Immortals for others, he absolutely wouldn’t dare if the person had already achieved significant cultivation.

When Feng Jun disappeared, a part of Tian Yangni still hoped: “What if it’s just a strange movement technique?”

But when Feng Jun reappeared in an instant and threw an object, Tian Yangni didn’t hesitate to retreat explosively—this was definitely a true Immortal!

His cultivation level was quite high, and his retreat was fast, so the TNT explosion didn’t really harm him much.

Then, he witnessed the fall of an Innate Expert and, despite his shock, couldn’t help but sneer. Translated into Earth’s terms, the gist was—having the capability of a Spirit Beast’s sting, yet insisting on using mortal weapons, such showboating will get you struck by lightning!

When Feng Jun rushed towards him, he resolutely chose to surrender.

This wasn’t about fear of death or bravery; what he was most worried about was the fate of the Tian Family—offending a legendary Immortal meant a normal family could be wiped out, and no one in heaven or on earth could save you!

In fact, in this plane, surrendering wasn’t considered a particularly shameful act unless it was a deep-seated grievance. Not every conflict had to end in a life or death struggle to determine the victor.

Indeed, many times, this plane also valued moderation, just as Lang’s younger sister said: “Even the worst rule is better than no rule at all.”

So conceding or surrendering simply meant touching the ground with one knee as a token gesture, not humiliatingly kneeling with both knees.

Tian Yangni conceded, but another martial master from the Tian Family still felt a bit unconvinced: “We’ve had a death, when has our Lao Tian Family ever been at such a loss?”

It wasn’t until Tian Yangni gave him a severe glare that he reluctantly softened—perhaps there was a reason for everything?

In a nutshell, to protect his clan, Tian Yangni did not hesitate to surrender, and after surrendering, he started to nurture some hope. It was not every day that one encountered a living Immortal, so why not seek an opportunity for the Tian Family?

Then he received a warning from Lang Zhen, and only then did he realize: “No wonder Lone Wolf was eagerly serving him; he had the same idea.”

He could understand that mentality—indeed, he understood it very well, so he decisively chose to play dumb and stay silent.

What do Immortals most despise when they come to the secular world? Naturally, it’s the entanglement of mortals. If it were him, he would be annoyed too.

When asked what his family had, he thought carefully and sadly realized: they had nothing that could impress an Immortal. Alas, he had thought the Tian Family was doing not too bad in the Secular World.

Compared to an Immortal, they were simply nothing at all.

After much consideration, he dared not defile an Immortal with mere mortals’ possessions, and although the Tian Family did have some information about Immortals, he dared not speak of it lightly, so he hesitated a moment before asking with some forced bravery, “What would you like?”

Frowning, Feng Jun thought for a moment and then asked in a deep voice, “Does your family have Spirit Stones… Immortal Crystals?”

In mortal society, Immortal Crystals are a taboo topic, but no matter what kind of society it is, privileged classes objectively exist. Once one reaches a certain level, some forbidden topics can also be discussed.

Tian Yangni did not feel he was unqualified to discuss the topic and was not surprised by Feng Jun’s question.

However, the Tian Family really didn’t have any, and he could only laugh bitterly, “We definitely don’t have those; without an Innate Expert in the family, even if we had Immortal Crystals, we couldn’t keep them safe.”

Feng Jun’s brow knitted slightly, “If you don’t have even Immortal Crystals, then your family really doesn’t have anything of value.”

“I can help you collect these talc stones!” Tian Yangni panicked, calling out hurriedly, “With Your Excellency’s nobility, why bother with such trivial matters? My Tian Family is willing to take on the task!”

Seeing that this was what the other party proposed, Feng Jun was also somewhat disappointed—does your family not have any other cultivation items?

But since he couldn’t ask directly, he could only shake his head, disinterestedly saying, “I won’t be endlessly collecting stones. If you want to help collect, that’s up to you, but… your arrival caused my house to collapse, so rebuild a few rooms for me.”

Build… a house? Tian Yangni was stunned, mouth agape at the modest request. Even the Tian Family would not consider building a house to be a big deal; it was typically only a concern for the common folk.

But on second thought, he came to terms with it: After all, the individual in question was an Immortal. Perhaps Immortal Crystals were as insignificant to them as house building was to us.

Indeed, in the eyes of such a being, our Tian Family might very well be considered mere commoners, and that’s probably why they didn’t value Immortal Crystals as we do.
