C12 An Unexpected Item

This black bear was very vigilant. Even though it was heavily injured, it still cautiously walked forward. From time to time, it would look back, afraid that someone would follow behind.

After walking for an unknown distance, the black bear arrived in front of a small pond. It directly jumped into the pond and began to eat the lotus seeds on the surface of the water.

Xu Feng followed and looked at the lotus seeds in the pond. His face couldn't help but tremble.

These lotus flowers were not ordinary lotus flowers. They were Tier 7 lotus flowers. They were a rare healing medicine. Their value in the market was even more extraordinary.

Xu Feng also did not think that there would be such a thing here. No wonder this black bear was so powerful. It must have been caused by the usual consumption of these lotus seeds.

It was just that these lotus seeds were clearly not grown in the wild. The growth environment of a Tier 7 flower lotus was somewhat harsh. Therefore, under normal circumstances, humans had to be carefully nurtured in order to survive. Otherwise, the Tier 7 lotus flowers that grew in the wild would not have such a special medicinal effect.

The lotus seeds in front of him had probably grown for countless generations. Even with the naked eye, Xu Feng could tell that the medicinal effects of these seventh grade lotus seeds were far from being comparable to the first generation of seventh grade lotus flowers.

Since it wasn't the first generation of seventh grade lotus flowers, there was no need to kill the black bear and snatch the lotus seeds.

Xu Feng raised his head and landed in the wooden house beside the pond.

This wooden house had clearly experienced an unknown amount of time and was already somewhat decayed.

Looking at the surrounding environment, it could be said to be a green mountain and green water. It was quiet and beautiful.

This was probably because a certain expert senior had once lived in seclusion here, so he planted these Tier 7 lotus flowers. After the expert left or passed away, there would be no one living here. Occasionally, one day, this black bear would discover the lotus flowers in the pond, so it relied on the lotus seeds to slowly become stronger.

Xu Feng thought for a moment, then walked towards the dilapidated hut.

He didn't know if there was any inheritance left behind by that senior in the hut.

Xu Feng thought in his heart. He pushed open the door of the hut. The door was almost rotten. Xu Feng stretched out his hand, and the small door almost turned into ashes.

The inside of the small room was also simple. There was only a table and a bed, and on the bed sat a skeleton.

This skeleton should be the owner of this small house. He didn't think that it would really die here.

But looking at the skeleton's appearance, this owner's strength shouldn't be too strong.

However, regardless of whether it was strong or not, it was still a deceased senior. He, a junior, came here out of courtesy and buried this skeleton.

Xu Feng went outside and dug out a deep pit. After that, he carried the skeleton outside and displayed its size.

Yi, what is this?

When Xu Feng stretched the skeleton out, he saw that there seemed to be a cloth strip on the skeleton's abdomen.

This cloth strip seemed a little strange. It couldn't be that someone put it in after the skeleton died, right?

Xu Feng was curious, so he took out the cloth strip.

"Those who are fated to see it later will read it!"

Seeing the first line of words on the cloth strip, Xu Feng knew that the cloth strip was probably really placed by the skeleton.

Xu Feng looked down and saw that the cloth was actually the inheritance of the skeleton's owner.

The strength of the skeleton's owner wasn't high, and it was almost at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer. So, the inheritance it left behind wasn't very high either. Instead, it was a palm technique called Flaming Palm.

Although the name of this palm technique was a bit obscure, it was still a palm technique of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer. Therefore, it was still a pretty good martial art for Xu Feng to learn.

As for why it appeared in this man's stomach, it was because of this man's intelligence.

If he wanted to find the inheritance in this man's stomach, he would have to bury his corpse into the ground. Therefore, this could be considered a test for the latecomers. Unless they truly had good intentions, it would be very difficult to obtain this inheritance.

This was really an unexpected joy. Xu Feng was somewhat happy. He did not expect to receive such a surprise when following the black bear. As a reward, he did not plan on killing the black bear.

After dealing with everything here, Xu Feng returned to the ore mine.

Everyone in the ore mine was gathered together. When they saw Xu Feng's return, all of them had strange expressions on their faces, as if they didn't know what kind of attitude they should have when facing Xu Feng.

The one who was rescued by Xu Feng spoke cautiously.

"Steward Xu, no, what happened to Xu Youxian because of that traitor?"

"He's already dead. The matter here is temporarily kept a secret. No one can tell anyone about it. I will return to Xu family and report this matter to them."

Xu Feng said in a flat tone.

"You are just a newbie. Why do you need to report back to the Xu family?"

Not everyone was grateful to Xu Feng. After all, Xu Feng was just a newbie who had only been here for two days. The key was that Xu Feng's strength wasn't enough to convince the public.

The one who spoke was the one with the highest position besides Xu Youji. After Xu Youji died, he would be able to take over the power. But now that Xu Feng had suddenly appeared, it was equivalent to snatching his power. Naturally, he had to speak.

Xu Feng's brows twitched. He had never thought that there would be someone who would dare to provoke him.

“ Oh? What do you mean?"

Xu Feng looked at the person who spoke with a tone of contempt.

"Xu Youji is dead. I am the person in charge here. You have yet to clear your name. You have to stay here obediently. I will report all of this to my family. But before that... You have to stay here obediently. "

The man said with a hint of a natural and self-satisfied expression.

Xu Feng nodded. This man thought that Xu Feng had admitted defeat, and his expression became even more pleased with himself.

"Do you know how Xu Youwei died?"

Xu Feng suddenly asked in a leisurely tone.

Although his tone was calm, the surrounding people could hear a trace of coldness and killing intent.

This man was also stunned, "How did Xu Youwei die?"

"He was bitten to death by a black bear. At that time, I was standing by his side."

Xu Feng raised his head and confronted the man's gaze. The man shivered and felt an inexplicable chill from his back.

"What do you want to say? What do you mean by that?"

The man looked at Xu Feng with a vigilant expression.

Xu Feng's face revealed a trace of a cold smile, "I'm just telling you, if you don't have that strength, don't force your way out. Otherwise, you will be humiliated by yourself."

The man faced Xu Feng's sharp gaze and lowered his head, not saying a word.

"Do any of you have any objections? No matter who has objections, I will humbly accept it."

Xu Feng's gaze swept across the crowd, and his tone carried deep meaning.

Everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to look Xu Feng in the eyes. They had never seen Xu Feng's strength, but they knew how powerful Xu Youji was.

To kill Xu Youji, no matter if it was his strength or some other conspiracy, it was not something they could afford to provoke.

Without saying anything, Xu Feng couldn't be bothered to argue with these people.

There was nothing to stay in this place anymore. The only thing worth paying attention to was the mine. However, he needed to report this matter to his family, and the rest of the matters would be decided by them.

Xu Feng directly returned to the family, reported the matter of the mine, and then returned to his own room in the herb garden.

He first replenished a portion of the herbs he had on him. Xu Feng had a sense of crisis at all times. Under such circumstances, he naturally had to prepare to leave the Xu family at all times.

After cultivating the Prison Suppressing Fist, Xu Feng began to cultivate the Flaming Palm.

Although the name was a bit vulgar, the power of the technique was not as bad as the Prison Suppressing Fist. It was even a little higher.

Xu Feng cultivated until midnight. After that, he did not have any intention of sleeping. Now, all of his attention was focused on cultivating, and cultivating could reduce the burden on his body.

Deep in the night, Xu Feng, who was cultivating, suddenly stopped. There seemed to be some noises outside, and someone had sneaked in.

Xu Feng retracted his body and stood by the door.

The door was pried open from the outside. A Black Clothed Man slowly slipped in and stabbed at the bed cover with a dagger.

Xu Feng looked coldly at the Black Clothed Man's movements. When the Black Clothed Man's dagger stabbed into the bed cover and found that no one wanted to turn around, he suddenly moved.

Without waiting for the Black Clothed Man to turn around, Xu Feng directly smashed his palm onto the Black Clothed Man's neck. With a single strike, the Black Clothed Man was knocked unconscious, and his other hand followed suit. It smashed into the Black Clothed Man's dantian and crippled its martial arts.

The last two Black Clothed Man had taught him a lesson. He would not give this fellow the chance to commit suicide.

Before Xu Feng could throw the Black Clothed Man away, a fierce wind suddenly sounded from behind. There was actually a killer behind.

Xu Feng's expression didn't change. He waved his palm backhanded. This palm of his was slightly red. This was the Flaming Palm.

The Black Clothed Man behind him did not expect Xu Feng to react so quickly. However, it was a sneak attack after all, and it took advantage of the situation. It held a weapon in its hand and stabbed towards Xu Feng's palm.

Xu Feng did not dodge. He reached out his hand and grabbed the dagger. Xu Feng's palm did not have any intention of bleeding. Instead, he flipped it backhanded and broke the dagger.

After that, Xu Feng turned around and smashed his hand towards the Black Clothed Man's chest.

This time, Xu Feng did not hold back. When his palm landed on the Black Clothed Man's chest, it melted the black clothes on the Black Clothed Man's chest. Then, with a crisp sound, the Black Clothed Man's chest was directly broken and it died.

Xu Feng looked outside the door. There should be no one behind him.

But who were these two people?

Xu Feng reached out his hand and took off the masks on their faces. After that, his eyes were filled with killing intent.

These two people were from the Xu family. Although he didn't know what their positions were, he had seen them before.

Someone from the Xu family wanted to kill him. Before this, they had all kinds of schemes and tricks, and now, they were sending assassins to kill him.

If he didn't find out who this man was, how could he stay in his family in peace in the future?

Perhaps it wasn't the time to hold it in anymore. An evil aura burst out from Xu Feng's body.

He had to investigate the death of his father and the departure of his mother.

He was the direct descendant of the Xu family, and he wanted to restore the glory of their bloodline.

Xu Feng's eyes were shining brightly in the dark night.
