Bai Chen was still taking shelter from the rain under the big tree. He had been standing here for almost half an hour, and there was no sign of the rain coming to a stop.

The air seemed to get chillier. The sky was still gloomy. Thunder could be heard from time to time.

At that moment, Bai Chen raised his head up. He could not help but look ahead.

He could see three figures walking towards him. They were clearly from different generations; there was a young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man. They were dressed in the same clothes as the two Feng village men whom he killed previously.

Without being told, Bai Chen could tell that they were from the Feng village.

Bai Chen’s facial expression turned serious for a little while when he looked at the old man. He concealed his aura very well, but it was still not well enough for Bai Chen, who possessed memories of the future.

He knew right away that the old man was at the primary foundation level!

As for the young man and the middle-aged man, they were at the secondary and tertiary nascent levels, respectively.

Of course, they also saw Bai Chen. All three of them slowed down.

Feng Kun could not help but frown. He turned to the middle-aged man and the old man. “Isn’t this forest ours? Why has an outsider dared to come here?”

The middle-aged man and the old man looked at each other. Both of them knew that this forest was not the Feng village’s. It was only the village chief’s delusion. The forest was actually owned by Xin Ye city.

Xin Ye city was a big city that owned everything from the villages to forests around here.

Of course, the Feng village was also under Xin Ye city’s rule. The village had to offer tributes to the city every year, otherwise the village would be destroyed.

In this world, the rule was that the strongest survived. If one was weaker, one merely had to surrender. There was absolutely no other choice. Otherwise, one would not run away from death!

p “Yes, young master.” Even though this forest did not belong to the village, the middle-aged man and the old man still lied about it just to please Feng Kun.

“Then, how did this bastard dare to come in here? Does he not respect us at all?!?”

Feng Kun spoke through his teeth with dissatisfaction. He grimaced at Bai Chen.historical

The old man looked at Bai Chen and found that he was only at the tertiary nascent level. He was relieved, since he did not think that Bai Chen would be able to fight him.

“My fellow Taoist, this is considered trespassing. I must ask you to leave or I’ll have to force you out!” the old man shouted. He stared at Bai Chen with eyes that were far from friendly.

The middle-aged man did not say anything. He just stood there behind Feng Kun and the old man quietly.

Feng Kun seemed to be dissatisfied with what the old man had just said.

It was only normal since he thought that this forest was the Feng village’s, and his father was the village chief. He thought that this forest was also his.

“How can I let him go that easily? I should teach him a lesson for trespassing and set an example for those who want to follow his example!” Feng Kun said with a loud and cold voice.

Hearing that, the middle-aged man frowned. The old man blinked several times. They did not want to do that.

However, it was Feng Kun’s wish, which they had to grant, or they would be punished by the village chief.

The village chief was named Feng Kuan. Feng Kun was his only son. Thus, it was only normal for Feng Kun to be spoiled. Feng Kun had turned into an arrogant and selfish man. He was also very self-centred and never had a care for anyone in these parts.

“Maan, you take care of him. He doesn’t look that powerful, right?” Feng Kun told the middle-aged man behind him.

The middle-aged one, Maan, sighed and nodded. “It’s exactly like that. He’s about the same level as me, but I think I can handle him.”

Feng Kun was at the secondary nascent level. Thus, it was impossible for him to know which level Bai Chen was at. However, Maan could sense it since he was at the same level as Bai Chen.

“Just don’t kill him,” the old man warned.

Maan nodded before stepping forward towards Bai Chen.

Bai Chen stood still. He’d heard everything the three men had been talking about. His facial expression turned dark. He did not expect these three to think the same as the two men earlier.

They thought that this forest belonged to the Feng village and wanted to teach him a lesson.

Bai Chen’s eyes glowed coldly. He walked out from under the large tree. He was soaked all over in the blink of an eye. He stopped at about five steps away from Maan.

Seeing Bai Chen stepping forward, Maan stopped walking. His face was emotionless. He made a greeting gesture.

“My fellow Taoist, please forgive me. This is an order that I can’t possibly defy.”

Bai Chen’s face was cold. He also made the gesture. “If you’re ready to strike, you should also be ready to die!”

Maan’s facial expression changed. Bai Chen’s words were no different from asking for a fight to the death.

“Good!” Maan spoke coldly. At first, he had not wanted to do it. However, listening to Bai Chen, he started to get angry. He suddenly had an intent to kill in his head.

Behind him, Feng Kun smiled in satisfaction. The old man was calm. He could not help but respect Bai Chen a little.

This world was all about strength. If one got into a fight, only death was the definitive end. Bai Chen, who talked like that without fear in his eyes, immediately gained the old man’s respect.
