Chapter 87: Ch 87: Cheng Family and Aphrodisiac
"What are your plans, now that you are here in Tong Xuan Realm?"
Yang Feng thought about what he should say as the three observed him. The girls were also curious about what his or their course of action will be.
Yang Feng spoke after a few minutes, "Grow stronger. I'll raise my cultivation till I have enough strength to leave for the Starry Sky. There are also a few things I need to do here before that time, like looking for a place to bring my parents and family here.", as he said this, he thought, 'Not to mention I have to get hold of a few inheritances and opportunities.'
Meng Wu Ya nodded. After that they talked some more before they all retired to their rooms for a little rest.
While inside his room, Yang Feng started to sort through all the important events and opportunities in Tong Xuan Realm that would benefit him, 'From what I remember in the order of the original. The first thing would be the Ancient Demon Clan Small World, then the Soul Devouring Insects, The Thousand Year Demon Flower and the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Empress Inheritance.'
'currently, I don't plan on visiting the Ancient Demon Clan, for which I would first have to find the Coffin Carrying Man, who I have no idea where he is. As for the Soul Devouring Insects, I don't know the exact place where it is located so that is also out of option as well.'
Thinking further, Yang Feng's lips twitched, 'The Thousand Year Demon Flower still has a little more than 2 years before it matures. That leaves only one thing, the inheritance. *Sigh* but to enter that area, I will need to have a higher understanding of space laws and also an exact location of the place.'
Yang Feng looked in front of him, feeling depressed that not even a single opportunity was currently available to him. While he was thinking of this, he slowly fell asleep.
...
For the next few days, the four remained in the inn, doing their own works, with Yang Feng consolidating his recent breakthrough. It was two week later that Meng Wu Ya decided that they, he and Xia Ning Chang, had stayed here for a good amount of time and it was time to move.
Meng Wu Ya asked Yang Feng and Su Yan if they wanted to go around with him or not. After a few minutes of thinking both Yang Feng and Su Yan agreed.
And so, the group of four left the city and flew towards a certain direction that Meng Wu Ya chose, saying that he wanted to check on a few places and people.
The four flew for a few days to get to the next city. During these days, they didn't encounter any sort of problem or such, but Yang Feng did find a Spirit Grade Herb that was being protected by a peak 5th Stage Ape Monster Beast.
When they reached the city and Yang Feng read the name of the city, he inwardly sighed heavily as he knew what he should expect to happen in the city, for the name of the city was, Blue Water City. 'wait, shouldn't Meng Wu Ya have come here nearly a year later?... Looks like changes have started to happen in the timeline, huh.'
Xia Ning Chang who was standing with Yang Feng along with Su Yan asked Meng Wu Ya curiously, "what work do you have here, master?", to which Yang Feng resisted an urge from saying 'to get a clan annihilated'.
Meng Wu Ya was looking at the city gate with some nostalgia and replied, "*hah* cheng'er, before I got stuck in the lower realm, I had a great friend who lived here. I don't know what have happened since I was gone, so I was hoping to see him and get some information as well."
The four then entered the city and after asking a random person about the place Meng Wu Ya wanted to go, went towards the residence of one of the major families of the city.
Once they reached their destination which was the Cheng Family, they were stopped by the guards on the door. Meng Wu Ya calmly asked them that he wanted to meet with their Clan Head, while releasing a bit of his aura just to tell the guards to be serious about him.
Once the guards felt the overwhelming aura that was comparable to their Family's Great Elders, at least to them that is, they ran inside to tell them about the visitor. A few moments later, the four were let inside the main hall, where they met the Clan Head, Great Elders and the Young Master of the Family. It was also positive that Yang Feng instantly didn't like the look that bitch of a Young Master was giving to his women, especially Xia Ning Chang who looked more approachable.
He released some of his aura that scared the clueless Young Master, which Yang Feng hoped was enough for him to back down. He then shifted his focus to Meng Wu Ya who was talking to the elders and Clan Head and asked them about their ancestor, who was his friend.
The news he received wasn't good. Apparently his friend had died less than two - three hundred years ago. It also looked like after Meng Wu Ya's friend died, who was also a saint, this Cheng Family had been reduced from a 1st Class Force to a Low 2nd Class Force.
When Meng Wu Ya told the elders and head that he was a friend of their ancestor and because of a few particular events didn't know about it. The Elder and the Head looked at each other before they suddenly told him to stay and attend a banquet that they were about to hold tomorrow for the worship of their ancestors. Yang Feng thought while looking on, 'looks like they want to build a relation with Meng Wu Ya.'
Meng Wu Ya thought for a moment, he himself having already concluded the same as Yang Feng, and agreed, in honor of his friend.
They were then showed to four rooms, in the guest quarters. They waited for a few hours before the four were told by a servent that the Clan Head had held a banquet to welcome them and asked them to come to the Main Hall.
The four then entered the Main Hall and saw how it was now decorated a bit and a few small tables with food already on them were set in places, with four non-sitted tables placed next to each other. The people of the Clan, who were a total of 10, were already sitting on their places.
As the servents lead them to their seats, Yang Feng observed the table arrangements and how that Young Master was looking expectantly between HIS two women and two of the tables on the left side, near the door of the Hall. Feeling his anger drastically shoot up, while also keeping a calm head, Yang Feng sat down on the table that was meant for Su Yan and made her sit in his table which was next to Old Meng's table, much to the servent's helplessness and the Family's Young Master's annoyance.
He didn't stop Xia Ning Chang from sitting on the table that was assigned to her as whatever was about to happen would not effect her because of her physique, the same applied to him.
When the Head gave a toast to Meng Wu Ya and them, everyone started to eat, while Yang Feng calmly also took the first bite along with Xia Ning Chang. When he ate his first bite, he felt it. The food was drugged with aphrodisiac and a strong one at that and by the looks of it Xia Ning Chang had discovered the same.
The temperature in the Hall suddenly fell dramatically and the atmosphere instantly grew heavy as a heavy pressure crushed down on everyone, sending a chill down everyone's spine.
Meng Wu Ya, the Clan Head, the Great Elders, Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang looked at Yang Feng whose face was facing down towards the table, casting a shadow over it. They all could tell that this sudden change in the atmosphere wasn't something random. This was happening because of Yang Feng.
His body was releasing such a massive amount of pressure and bloodlust that it was surreal. Meng Wu Ya, Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang looked at Yang Feng with a a worried look as it was the first time they had seen Yang Feng like this. While the Clan Head, Great Elders were looking at him in worry, wariness and a bit of fear, they didn't know what has caused Yang Feng's sudden change in behavior.
"Is something wrong, Young Friend.", the Clan Head asked cautiously. He addressed Yang Feng as Young Friend because for the first time since entering the mansion could he feel his real cultivation, which was equal to him. This fact made him more cautious and afraid, 'just what type of friends did the ancestor had?'
Yang Feng slowly raised his head that now showed his rage filled eyes and with his emotionless impassive expressions. The look on his face made those who looked at him gulp, surprisingly including Meng Wu Ya.
"So ... this is how you treat your guests?", Yang Feng said in a voice full of coldness. Everyone except a servent and the Family's Young Master had a confused look on their faces. Meng Wu Ya felt something obviously wrong and asked Yang Feng, "Yang Feng what happened?"
Yang Feng with his eyes locked on the now pale skinned Young Master said, "Xia Ning Chang's and My food are drugged with a potent Aphrodisiac." His words silenced everyone as they first looked at Yang Feng and Xia Ning Chang's food before looking at the him and Xia Ning Chang.
The family members had already guessed what has happened by quietly observing their Young Master, which made their expressions change instantly. Considering their Family's Young Master's character, he should have taken an interest in the young women and tried to drug her. What they couldn't figure out was why did he tried to drug the Young Man and why were the two unaffected if they had eaten the aphrodisiac.
But before they could try to say anything, another burst of pressure and killing intent burst out, this time from Meng Wu Ya. Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, as Meng Wu Ya's pressure was greater than Yang Feng's.
The Clan Head hurriedly said, "I apologize for this happening!, Young Master, Old Sir. We don't know who did this, but rest assured that I will investigate immediately." He had already figured out that it was his son who was responsible, but how could he let any kind of harm come to his only son, so tried to stall.
But Yang Feng's next words shattered his expectations, "there's no need to investigate. I already know who is responsible."
Saying that, Yang Feng vanished from his place and appeared right in front of the Young Master, "why do you look so pale, young master Cheng?" Hearing Yang Feng's words, the already pale young master grew even more pale as Yang Feng's pressure was pressing down on him even more.
"Imprudent! Do you mean that our Family's Young Master did this?", an elder who was sitting next to the Great Elders shouted. Yang Feng looked at him dismissively and said, "did I say that? I was just asking why he looked pale.", his words caused the elder to choke on his own words.
"Young Friend, you don't have any evidence for such accusation. Also for someone who ingested an aphrodisiac, you look quite fine." Said one of the Great Elders. Yang Feng smirked as he levitated a plate from his table into his hand and said with a sadistic grin, "so why don't we test it?"
Before anyone could react, Yang Feng forced down the food into that Young Master's mouth, who tried to force it out of his mouth but couldn't.
"Leave the Young Master!", shouted an elder as he suddenly attacked Yang Feng. But Yang Feng calmly raised his hand and ... Slapped the attacking elder. The slap looked ordinary, but the elder was flung back and sent through a wall.
This came as a shock to everyone as the elder was a peak Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator, so even if Yang Feng was a Transcendent Realm cultivator it should not have been so easy for him to ... Slap the elder.
Soon after, they all came out of their shock and the Clan Head flashed towards Yang Feng, while the great, and other, elders went towards Meng Wu Ya, Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang to hold them back.
But everyone suddenly became still in their tracks. No matter how they tried to move, no one could move, even Meng Wu Ya had to struggle a bit before he could move and he was, at the moment, a 1st Order Saint.
In the room only one person was exempted by this pressure, who was also the source of it, Yang Feng. Yang Feng glanced around him before Meng Wu Ya, Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang felt they they could now move freely. The Cheng Family members however looked on as in horror as he said a single word.
"Kneel."
