Chapter 7:
A Terrifying Figure
“Damn it! You dared touch my woman? Wang Chang of the Senluo Group? Heh… you’ve already chosen your own death!”
Ye Feng’s expression was dark and frightening. His eyes were as cold as blades, radiating a chilling killing intent.
Without another thought, he quickly rushed to his unconscious girlfriend.
Then, carrying both girls in his arms, he transformed into a streak of white light and flew into the heavens.
On the ground, several people who had been hiding behind walls and secretly watching the scene were completely dumbfounded.
Their faces turned pale as if they had seen a ghost.
There were actually immortals in this world—beings that existed only in legends!
The world was changing.
Everything was changing.
While Ye Feng was taking the two girls back to his apartment, a video clip of what appeared to be an immortal flying through the sky spread rapidly across every corner of Jianghai City.
It even made the trending news.
Countless people were shocked and found it impossible to believe.
However, after the initial surprise, most people concluded that it had to be fake.
Special effects.
A hoax.
But to certain influential figures, this short few-second video carried an entirely different meaning.
On the outskirts of Jianghai City stood an enormous estate.
Inside the estate, more than a dozen luxury villas were arranged in neat rows.
Each villa was equipped with its own swimming pool, fountain, and private garden. Countless luxury cars were parked in the open spaces before them.
This was the residence of Jianghai City’s number one family—
The Lu Family.
“Report, Patriarch! A very unusual video has suddenly exploded across the internet. Would you like to see it?”
A subordinate hurried into the main hall of the villa, carrying a laptop, and respectfully addressed the old man resting quietly on the sofa.
Even while sitting silently, the old man exuded an overwhelming aura.
He was the head of the Lu Family—
Lu Tianjiang.
Hearing the report, he slowly opened his deep, penetrating eyes and said calmly,
“Bring it here.”
“Yes, Patriarch!”
The subordinate quickly placed the laptop on the tea table before him and pressed play.
The video showed a man dressed in white.
In less than a second, the figure turned into a streak of white light and vanished from the screen.
It was astonishing.
Lu Tianjiang’s pupils contracted slightly.
He immediately replayed the footage.
Again.
And again.
After watching the slowed-down version more than ten times, he finally drew in a sharp breath.
“What level of expert is this? He can actually fly? I’ve never even heard of such a thing!”
“Patriarch, we’ve encountered Martial Grandmasters before, but they couldn’t fly, could they?”
The subordinate, Sun Hu, swallowed nervously.
“Besides, everyone online says this video was made with special effects.”
“So I think…”
“It probably isn’t real.”
“After all, I’ve never heard of a martial artist who could soar through the sky.”
“No.”
Lu Tianjiang slowly shook his head.
“This isn’t edited.”
He was absolutely certain.
After examining it over and over in slow motion, he couldn’t find the slightest trace of manipulation.
Which meant—
The video was real.
“Tiger, do you know what lies beyond the realm of a Martial Grandmaster?”
Lu Tianjiang looked at him.
“Beyond a Martial Grandmaster?”
Sun Hu froze for a moment before shaking his head.
“I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“But Patriarch, isn’t the Grandmaster Realm supposed to be the peak of martial arts? How can there be a realm beyond it?”
Lu Tianjiang remained silent for a while, his expression complicated.
“To be honest, I don’t know much either.”
“But I once heard an old friend mention it.”
“A Martial Grandmaster is not the end of the martial path. Beyond that, there are even more terrifying existences.”
“According to him, beings at that level have already transcended ordinary martial arts. They can borrow the power of heaven and earth itself, making them unimaginably powerful.”
“Borrow the power of heaven and earth?”
Sun Hu stared in disbelief, his mouth hanging wide open.
This completely overturned everything he knew about martial artists.
He was thirty-two years old and had reached the middle stage of the External Force Realm. After more than ten years of cultivation, he had mastered his internal strength and possessed physical abilities far beyond those of professional boxers.
By himself, he could easily defeat five or six fully grown men.
The path of martial arts was divided into strict realms:
External Force, Internal Force, and Transformation Force.
Transformation Force was also known as the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
A Grandmaster could release internal energy beyond the body and kill without direct contact.
Such warriors possessed a unique martial will and could vaguely sense the endless spiritual energy that filled the world, using their martial intent to influence it.
But that was all they could do.
Martial Grandmasters were legendary figures.
Across the entire nation, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Moreover, people of that caliber were usually famous, their names well known throughout the martial arts world.
Seeing the shock on Sun Hu’s face, Lu Tianjiang sighed and shook his head.
“You already know how terrifying a Martial Grandmaster is.”
“No matter how powerful they are, however, they still cannot fly.”
“The person in this video may very well have surpassed the realm of a Martial Grandmaster.”
“But as for the name of that higher realm…”
“I don’t know.”
“Prepare the car later. I’m going to visit Old Man Ye and ask him about it. Perhaps he knows more.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
Sun Hu nodded.
After thinking for a moment, he asked,
“Patriarch, should we send someone to investigate the person in the video?”
“Absolutely not!”
Lu Tianjiang’s expression changed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.
“People of that level usually prefer peace and quiet. They hate being disturbed.”
“If we accidentally offend someone like him and make him unhappy…”
“Our entire Lu Family could be wiped out in an instant.”
“Is he really that terrifying?”
Sun Hu couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
“If he’s even stronger than a Martial Grandmaster, then think for yourself how frightening such a person must be.”
Lu Tianjiang gave a faint smile.
Shaking his head, he stopped talking and walked toward his study.
Gulp.
Sun Hu nervously swallowed.
After standing there in a daze for a few moments, he hurried off to prepare the car exactly as Lu Tianjiang had ordered.
