Fox Demon Crossing
Chapter 24: Sudden Stagnation
On the bustling city streets, Jin Renfeng's steps suddenly stopped, and he glanced helplessly at the shadow of the building beside him.
Behind the building, Yang Yifan appeared leisurely.
"What do you think? You people in the Yang family always like to be mysterious?" Jin Renfeng revealed a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Yang Yifan showed no sign of resentment and retorted, "It's been a long time since we last met. It seems I still can't figure out your depth, Brother Jinren."
Jin Renfeng no longer responded to him, but walked towards the financial center.
"Brother Jinren, you are going to the border this time. I feel unspeakably uneasy in my heart."
Walking side by side with Jin Renfeng, Yang Yifan crossed his arms, a hint of worry revealed in his voice, as if he was confused about the future path, and even more so, uncertain about his own choices.
"If you're nervous, just don't go." Jin Renfeng responded indifferently.
Yang Yifan shook his head and said, "How can we not go? We have spent years traveling around the world just to find out the truth of this world. Now we are about to uncover the mystery. If we back down now, I will not be willing to do so."
"Brother Jinren, are you really not interested in the truth behind this world?"
"Not interested." Jin Renfeng answered firmly.
"Are you sure?" Yang Yifan's eyes flickered: "I have a feeling that Brother Jinren, you should know something that I don't know."
Jin Renfeng paused for a moment, then continued forward, whispering, "The so-called 'forbidden zone' is not a place that people of your level can easily enter. Don't think that you can look down on everything just because you have achieved something. I warn you, with your current abilities, the chances of survival are slim."
"Brother Jinren, I've always wanted to ask you, you seem to know a lot about that 'forbidden zone', and you even told me many times that entering it would be a life or death situation. We have been friends for many years, can't you give me some more advice?"
Jin Renfeng fell silent, and after a while he uttered two words: "Dark Web?"
Yang Yifan stared at him with wide eyes: "The dark web is illusory and good at manipulating people's hearts. Those who are obsessed and have weak wills can easily become their puppets. When encountering such things, you must be careful and cautious."
"..."
"Brother Jinren, could it be that you have already explored it before us?" Yang Yifan couldn't help but wonder.
Jin Renfeng glanced at him and replied, "I don't have that much free time. I know my own limitations. With my current abilities, it would not be wise to set foot in that place."
The so-called "forbidden zone" is a place where many secret organizations and underground forces that have existed for who knows how many years are hidden. Who knows how long their history is? I'm afraid it must be at least several decades or even hundreds of years. After all, the existence of these forces reminded him of those legendary forbidden zone creatures - they seemed to have no lifespan limit.
After decades, even a pig can become a master in such an environment, right?
These young people, whose combined age is less than 20 years old, actually want to bypass the underworld bosses and skip the initial training stage to directly challenge the advanced areas. They are simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
On the way, Yang Yifan and Jin Renfeng talked intermittently.
"elder brother!"
When Xiao Yangmie saw Yang Yifan, he rushed forward and hugged him joyfully.
Yang Yifan caressed his head and said with a smile, "Brother, have you been naughty when your brother is not around?"
"No, I'm very good."
At this time, Yang Yan came out and shouted in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"
"Aunt, I came to see you."
Yang Yifan turned to Dongfang Moli and bowed slightly: "Miss Dongfang, it's nice to see you again."
"Mr. Yang."
After sitting in the yard for a while, Yang Yifan stood up and said goodbye.
It's time for him to return to the company.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Yang Yifan turned around and said to Jin Renfeng, "Brother Jin Ren, I am relieved to entrust Xiao Mie to you. He has a very high talent, not inferior to me at all. I have already taught him about the cultivation of the Heavenly Eye, but I have not taught him the method of refining Qi. As a master, you must not be stingy in this regard."
"Don't worry."
"My apprentice, I will do my best to guide you."
As Jin Renfeng spoke, his eyes fell on Yang Yifan who was about to leave, but he finally called him back.
"Wait a minute, I have something for you."
Then, he took out a strange talisman from the high-end briefcase he carried with him. After taking the talisman, Jin Renfeng did not explain its purpose, but only said: "Take this, it may save your life at a critical moment."
Yang Yifan carefully examined the talisman in his hand. Its texture and touch were similar to the magic weapon given by Professor Li, except that its color was not red cinnabar, but a golden color. As for what pattern was painted on it, he could not decipher it.
"Thank you, Brother Jinren. If I can return safely, I will definitely treat you to a good drink."
Yang Yifan laughed out loud, started his private aircraft and left.
Watching his leaving back, Jin Renfeng stood at the entrance of the village and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
The talisman given to Yang Yifan contains his pure yang energy and a trace of the power of the Three Flames. These two powers can hurt the opponent's soul and may help him at a critical moment.
However, he understood that he could not stop the curiosity and determination of Yang Yifan and others. Even if he taught them a lesson, they would not give up.
Many times, only by experiencing it personally can one truly understand the feeling. For them, they will never be satisfied unless they set foot in that unknown land themselves.
At this moment, on the other side of the city, Yang Yifan, who had left, had another thought in his mind.
To be honest, he did have some selfish motives about exploring the "forbidden zone".
His motives were not as pure as others.
Others just want to reveal the secrets there, but for Yang Yifan, in addition to exploring the mysteries of the "forbidden zone", it is more important to enhance the power of the third eye on his forehead.
As everyone knows, the unique skill of the Yang family relies on their divine eyes, which can see through the secrets of the circulation of qi and blood in the human body's meridians...
In a bustling modern city, families like the Wang Quan family, who are famous for cultivating special abilities, mainly improve themselves by using this extraordinary vision called "Sky Eye" for continuous and detailed observation. Among the Yang family, especially Yang Yitan, he has shown an amazing talent for Sky Eye since he was a child, and his circle of friends are all young talents from the first-class forces - the Urban Elite Alliance, and they are all outstanding people.
With this group of powerful friends as his companions, and his own outstanding strength, the 21-year-old Yang Yitan has already seen every aspect of the city. In other words, everything in this city is no longer new to him. He is still young, but his strength has reached its peak, and he is quite unwilling to accept this situation.
So he decided to look to a wider world - the world outside the city. Even if there were many difficulties ahead, and his life might be in danger, he would move forward bravely. He was unwilling to accept a mediocre life. A young man should face challenges and never back down easily. In his opinion, in a few years, when he looks back on his life with gray hair, he will at least not regret having done nothing in his life.
……
The Royal Palace is a luxurious manor located in the city center.
"Mom, the osmanthus cake you made is so delicious."
"Mom, please make more. This little is not enough for the two of us brothers."
Wang Quanzui surrounded a beautiful woman and chattered non-stop. The woman was smiling, with a doting light in her eyes. She was Wang Quanshouzhu's wife, and also the mother of Wang Quanbaiye and Wang Quanzui.
"Zui'er, how is your relationship with the young man from the Yang family developing?"
"what?"
Wang Quanzui pouted and said, "Mom, there is no special relationship between me and Brother Yang, so don't make random guesses."
"Really?" The woman looked at her suspiciously. "Ever since you met that kid from the Yang family, I've felt that you're a little abnormal. Tell me, do you have a crush on him?"
"How could this happen!" Wang Quanzui turned his head away, "Mom, stop worrying about it. You might as well pay attention to my brother. He's already grown up, and it's time for someone to take care of him."
The woman smiled and said, "Zui'er, your brother knows everything about his affairs, unlike you who only know how to have fun. You have grown up, and I think the boy from the Yang family is very good. He is not only polite and handsome, but also very capable. The family conditions of both parties are similar. I don't want to miss such a son-in-law."
"Oh, Mom~"
Wang Quan stomped his feet drunkenly and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't interfere in this matter. If Brother Yang finds out, how can I face him in the future?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" But she clearly remembered that the last time the young man from the Yang family came to visit, her daughter called him "Second Brother Yang" and then "Second Brother Yang" again, and was very affectionate. She usually liked to stick to her brother, but she dressed up on that day, while she usually dressed casually at home. It seems that her daughter is probably still in the stage of secret love.
The inner house of the royal palace.
Wang Quan Shouzhuo was sitting in the pavilion, playing a Go match with Wang Quan Baiye across from him. The black and white pieces on the board were interlaced, and each move was fierce. During the match, Wang Quan Shouzhuo coughed from time to time. Neither of them spoke, and only the slight sound of the chess pieces falling on the board echoed in the air.
After a long while, Wang Quan Shouzhuo was the first to break the silence: "Bai Ye, do you know why I gave you this name?"
"My father hopes that I can achieve great things." Wang Quan Baiye replied.
"Yes, I did have such considerations at the time." Wang Quan Shouzhuo coughed a few more times, "My body is a burden to me, otherwise I would not have handed over the position of alliance leader to Dongfang Zhuoyuan. In comparison, the demeanor you have shown in recent years has more leadership qualities. I will not stop you from doing what you want to do. We have also been conducting research on the mysterious strong man in the outside world and the land outside the circle. I just hope you don't do anything stupid. The future Wang Quan Mansion will still need your support."
Wang Quan Baiye responded calmly: "Father, please rest assured that I have no other plans, and I will not act rashly. Regarding the journey outside the circle, I am determined to do so. I don't think you know that we plan to leave for the border area on the seventh day of the seventh month next month."
He knew that unless the members of the Mask Organization betrayed him, his father would not be able to know about their actions. However, the recent behavior of him and his sister Wang Quanzui may have aroused his father's vigilance, so his father said this.
The father and son fell silent for a moment. Then, the sound of chess pieces falling rang out again. With the last black piece of Wang Quan Baiye falling, he had secured the victory. He stood up, bowed slightly to Wang Quan Shouzhuo, and then left the pavilion.
Wang Quan stared at the chessboard for a long time without saying anything. He raised his head and whispered to himself: "Real life is not a chess game, and the chess pieces cannot be completely trusted. Baiye, I hope you don't treat life as a chess game, because in reality, one wrong move may lead to eternal damnation, and being too rigid will easily break."
"Ah, God is Coming"
Through this game of chess, Wang Quan Shouzhuo saw both his son's confidence and his arrogance. At this moment, he was full of worries: "I have been uneasy for a while, and I have a feeling that something big will happen soon. Baiye and Zui'er's recent behavior is also quite abnormal..."
"Master, are you too tired?" Xiaofei, the butler beside him, asked with concern.
Butler Fei's round figure came into view, his signature smile always on his face, and he said, "Boss Wang, I'm afraid that the young master's mentality has changed because of his loss to Lin Fengyang, the heir of Ruijin Group last time. After all, among his peers, no one has ever been able to defeat our young master."
