Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 584 Old Friends (Part 1)

Li Feng believed that he and his fellow disciples had a deep bond.

Back then, he took good care of Han Yi, always thinking of him, and they got along very well.

However, in this world, there are quite a few people whose personalities change drastically in order to survive.

He didn't think Han Yi was that kind of person.

I also don't believe that Han Yi is a cold-hearted, heartless person.

But after so many years apart, their personalities, beliefs, and ways of doing things have probably changed a lot. If they become enemies the moment they meet because of their different stances, it's better to leave a beautiful memory and preserve the best aspects of them forever in one's heart. However, the situation changed too quickly; the Green-Clad Alliance was destroyed overnight, and he and Pan Sheng had received too much kindness from the Green-Clad Alliance.

Especially since, before her death, Alliance Leader Qiu Xiaoxiao not only saved the two of them, but also entrusted them with the responsibility of inheriting, rebuilding, and reviving the Green Robe Alliance…

Meanwhile, the government troops and Fang Jiulian continued to send men to hunt down and kill the scattered members of the Green-Clad Alliance, eliminating them completely and leaving no survivors.

Forced into a corner, Li Feng thought of Han Yi again.

The only person who can help them both, who possesses significant influence, and who is also the person they can most easily reach, is their former junior brother, Han Yi. He is also the most suitable person.

At this point, if Han Yi were willing to help them escape the pursuit of the government troops, they would still have hope.

Therefore, Li Feng, along with Pan Sheng, decisively headed straight for Qiyun Mountain. 'Well, whether it succeeds or not, it's worth the trip... Even if this matter fails, it's better for the inheritance to fall into the hands of Junior Brother Han Yi than into the hands of Fang Jiulianjun...' He sighed.

The two strode towards the town on the hillside.

“Old Li, do you really think this will work?” Pan Sheng frowned as he looked at the load on his shoulders. “Why don’t we leave first? If we mistake someone for someone else and get trapped in the town, we’ll be helpless and won’t be able to escape.”

Crossing a well-constructed road, the two disguised themselves as merchants coming to sell goods, mingled into a caravan, and slowly approached the gate.

Li Feng paused, though he was prepared for failure and death, he was not alone.

"Here's what we'll do: you stay outside and provide cover for me. If there are no problems, I'll send you a message, and then you can go in."

"..."

Pan Sheng sighed, seemingly understanding Li Feng's thoughts: "Fine, let's go in together. We're brothers, if we're going to die, let's die together."

The two escaped unharmed, spent a little money to bribe the guards, and successfully entered Jingming Town at the foot of Qiyun Mountain.

The surrounding area was bustling with people, and it happened to be the start of a large market day.

Jingming Town is now under the jurisdiction of Jiuqumen, which is the most powerful force in the surrounding area. Its leader, Zhong Yunxiu, is a person who prefers stability and peace.

Therefore, Qiyun Mountain is considered the most peaceful area in the entire Huayang City region.

Furthermore, Han Yi, the actual controller of Jingming Town, also advocated non-interference and letting things take their natural course. There were few rules and regulations, and many miscellaneous taxes and levies, so the people's pockets became fuller.

There were no inexplicable battles or chaotic conflicts elsewhere. Peace and prosperity naturally attracted many people from afar, making Jingming Town increasingly prosperous. "Come, sir, please come inside. We have Longjing, Sparrow Tongue, Silver Needle... all kinds of old and new teas. Would you like a pot?" Inside the small tea shop, the waiter warmly greeted Li Feng and Pan Sheng.

"Just bring me any pot."

As soon as the two entered Jingming Town, they were also infected by the peaceful atmosphere here, and sighed inwardly, responding casually.

"How about trying our Jingming Town specialty, Yunqing Tea? You can't find this tea anywhere else. It has a bright color, is shrouded in mist, and is mild in nature, with the effect of dispelling wind and dampness," the waiter enthusiastically recommended.

"Okay, whatever, whatever," Pan Sheng said impatiently as he unloaded the goods.

"What's the next step? Should we go directly to their home to request a meeting? Or should we first confirm with someone else?"

After dismissing the waiter, he asked in a low voice.

"We must act according to the situation and not let others see us," Li Feng quickly replied. "First, we'll gather intelligence by mail, confirm their identities, and then make contact in person." As the two were discussing their plan, cheers suddenly erupted from the street.

"Lord Qu, well done! This petty thief has committed many crimes, but I never expected to be caught by you."

"Indeed, he lives up to his reputation as one of the three greatest experts in Jingming Town. With Hall Master Qu around, we merchants feel much more at ease..."

"What you're saying goes, isn't it Hall Master Qu who's been working tirelessly to ensure the safety of us ordinary people...?"

It sounds like the guards from Jingming Town caught a thief at the market, and everyone is praising and complimenting them.

Li Feng and his companion looked in the direction of the sound.

On the street, a group of burly men dressed in tight black clothes stood, each one full of energy, with bulging muscles on their chests and two axes hanging from their waists.

The leader was even more ferocious, with a shiny bald head, a huge wood-chopping axe slung over his back, and a thin man clutched in his hand like a chick. Compared to the burly men around him, this petty thief was pitifully thin, like a bullied little woman.

"This..." Pan Sheng was speechless for a moment. "Old Li, are you sure our junior brother can handle these kinds of subordinates?"

This group of people looks even more gangster-like than the underworld; their appearance and attire are far more extravagant than those of a criminal organization like the Green Clothes Alliance.

There is such a group of people, and you can imagine what their boss's work style is like.

Even if he wasn't a fierce and menacing figure, he certainly wasn't a good person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control such a group of burly men.

But no matter which one it was, it was very different from the Han Yi he remembered.

"Perhaps my junior brother's temperament has changed. To be able to wander all the way from Pingzhou, he must have been decisive in killing and killing," Li Feng said with a forced smile.

He truly hadn't expected to see such a scene so soon after entering Han Yi's territory; it was truly unsettling. "Sir, your tea is served!"

The waiter brought out a tray and served tea to the two of them.

The tea was clear and transparent, with a few tea leaves floating on the surface. It had a pleasant aroma and looked quite appealing.

"Waiter, who is this big man?" Taking advantage of the tea service, Li Feng asked, trying to gather information.

Watching Qu Qiao and his group quickly leave, leading the petty thief and dealing with the people around them.

The waiter asked in confusion, "Don't you know? These are the three hall masters of our Jingming Town: the Xuanwu Hall Master and the Quqiao Hall Master."

"Could you elaborate?" Li Feng took out a few pieces of loose silver.
