Chapter 16: The Occult Contest
Mu Feng froze for a moment, his face quickly turned cold, his gaze swept over the faces of several people in the hall, and finally stopped on Jing Fan's body, and a strange look appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Could it be that you want to leave the two of us behind?" Mu Feng's voice came out slowly, from the moment he came, he had already calculated all the possibilities, although Jing Ba would be impulsive, but according to Jing Xiong's personality, this time he would never move himself.
After all, in this way, it will completely tear the skin with the Yang family, that is, officially announce the start of a decisive battle with the Yang family.
And Jing Xiong, as the head of the Jing family, would never allow himself to make such a reckless decision, and if he was not careful, the entire Jing family would fall into a place of no return.
Because of this, Mu Feng dared to bring Yang Lin to the Jing family with such a swagger, although he also calculated the change of Jing Fan's uncertain factor, but he didn't fully expect that Jing Xiong attached great importance to Jing Fan's words.
It is not so much Jing Xiong's attention to Jing Fan's words, but rather his belief in the unknown "master" behind Jing Fan.
"Stay, it's too cheap for you!" Jing Fan slowly stepped forward, although his steps were slow, but he was calm and powerful, and he didn't take a single step, just like stepping on the hearts of everyone present, making the atmosphere of the entire hall also become weird at this moment.
Mu Feng's palm was slowly clenched, and a faint fluctuation of vitality was also slowly brewing on the palm, his gaze swept over Jing Fan, and then fell on Jing Xiong on the side, when he saw Jing Xiong's behavior in a tacit way, he couldn't help but attach importance to Jing Fan to a new level again.
Regarding the rumors that Jing Fan has a mysterious master from the outside world, he can't help but be a little more convinced.
Suddenly, his body was also slightly tense, ready to burst out at any time, and then quickly escaped.
"What do you want to do?" Mu Feng took a step back cautiously, his eyes locked on Jing Fan's body, although the latter was not very old, but that calm mentality was definitely not something that a teenager of this age could have, which made Mu Feng more convinced of the rumors of Jing Fan's mysterious master, how could he teach such an excellent apprentice without a master from outside the world?
Jing Fan didn't answer Mu Feng's words, but paused, turned around slowly, his eyes swept over his father, and then focused on Mu Feng on the side.
The voice said lightly: "Your Yang family's actions in the past few days seem to be a bit excessive, originally you were a mineral, why did you deliberately embezzle our Jing family's medicinal material business, this matter made my master also quite concerned, however, for your little Yang family, he is not very interested, but ......"
Speaking of this, Jing Fan paused, and then said: "My master also said that his apprentice is not something that anyone else can bully, if you are still obsessed, you will bear the consequences!"
"Hmph, do you think I'm scared?" As soon as Jing Fan's words fell, Yang Lin quickly walked out, glared at Jing Fan angrily, and shouted in a stern voice.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the moment his gaze made contact with Jing Fan's gaze, a cold electric current suddenly quickly entered his body, making him speechless for a moment, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed instantly.
Mu Feng saw all this in his eyes, and when he came to Jing's house today, his fear of Jing Fan, a post-born boy, far exceeded that of his father Jing Xiong.
"No one in our Little Rock City has stipulated that our Yang family can't enter the medicinal material market, although it has been your Jing family that has monopolized the medicinal material market all these years, and we have occupied the minerals, and now that we have entered the medicinal materials, you can also enter the mineral market, we will definitely not say anything, I believe that the Ling Shi will definitely understand this matter!" Mu Feng looked at Jing Fan, owed, and said slowly, his tone was much calmer.
Mu Feng's words can be said to be leaky, so even if the mysterious master behind Jing Fan comes out instead of the Jing family, he can't find a suitable reason at all, so it seems that the master is unknown.
The Jing family occupies the medicinal materials market, and the Yang family occupies the minerals, this is not a party stipulation, others mix a foot in the medicinal materials market, you can also go to the mineral market to mix a foot, but if you don't come, then it's no wonder others.
Listening to Mu Feng's words, Jing Ba on the side suddenly turned red with anger, if it was really as simple as Mu Feng said, then things would not have developed like this, Mu Feng's words could not be described as ruthless.
Jing Xiong didn't speak, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes fell on the thin figure in front of him, and a spirit of hope appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Jing Fan slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, when he came, he also completely inquired about everything that had happened in the past few days, and smiled indifferently at the moment, and said, "Since that's the case, we might as well make a bet!"
"What bet?" Mu Feng's gaze fell on the young man's face, and he couldn't help but say that he couldn't fathom the smile that appeared on the other party's face.
"Since you want to enter the medicinal herb market, you must have reached the realm of mastery of occultism, and I compare it with you!"
Speaking of this, Jing Fan paused, his eyes swept over Mu Feng on the side, and continued: "I'll compare the mystics with you, if I lose, our Jing family will leave Little Rock City, and we will no longer interfere with the Daojun ruins, of course, if you lose, you also have to hand over all the assets of the Yang family, and then get out of Little Rock City, never come back!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience was shocked, and many people were stunned all of a sudden, staring at Jing Fan with their eyes, and even many people were pinching themselves hard, trying to prove that everything just now was just an illusion, but it was in vain after all.
Jing Ba was also frightened by Jing Fan's words all of a sudden, and he didn't react for a long time, and when he understood, he was just about to stop it, but he was stopped by Jing Xiong.
"Wait, Fan'er...... He won't be reckless!" Jing Xiong looked at the back and said slowly.
Jing Ba has been stagnant, and now he has gambled on the fate of the entire Jing family, this is not reckless, so what is reckless?
Moreover, if this is Jing Fan's master to participate in the competition, then Jing Ba will not say anything, but now, Jing Fan is a martial artist of the Eight Heavens, although there is a mysterious master behind him, but against Shangmu Feng, an old and cunning man, the odds are really negligible.
Mu Feng was also stunned by Jing Fan's words, but fortunately, his brain turned fast enough, and he reacted instantly, looked at Jing Fan with a strange look, and said, "Are you sure you want to test the occult arts?"
Yang Lin, who had been behind Mu Feng, also poked his head out at this moment, looking at Jing Fan with a strange expression, as if he was looking at a fool, everyone knew that Jing Fan's current strength was not even a one-yuan person, and the cultivation of occult cultivation was even more harsh, how could he not be the opponent of Mu Feng, a long-established predecessor, and setting up such a competition was undoubtedly just a gift to the Yang family.
"Don't you dare to accept it?" Jing Fan raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly.
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for him to speak, Yang Lin behind him shouted: "Why don't you compare, I accept your challenge on behalf of our Yang family!"
While speaking, Yang Lin also looked at Jing Xiong with a strange look, as if to say, look at your stupid son, you actually took the initiative to propose such a competition, it is simply taking the initiative to give away the huge Jing family's property.
Mu Feng's eyes were staring at Jing Fan, although he also thought that this competition was not so simple, but he couldn't see the slightest flaw on Jing Fan's face, which made his heart even more puzzled, and his attention to Jing Fan was also rising in a straight line.
"Okay!" Seeing that Yang Lin responded, Jing Fan also continued: "Then half a month later, a metaphysics competition will be held in the main square of Little Rock City, and at that time, we can invite some respected old-timers in Little Rock City to come and preside over the competition!"
"No problem!" Yang Lin replied with a smug smile on his face, his gaze swept over Jing Fan's body.
Jing Fan didn't speak, and there was not the slightest fluctuation on Qingxiu's face, which was elusive.
Mu Feng glanced at Jing Fan again, didn't say anything, and slowly retreated from Jing's house with Yang Lin.
As soon as Mu Feng left, the hall of the Jing family also began to be chaotic, and many people in the Jing family were talking for a while, although Jing Xiong and Jing Ba did not speak, but many people were dissatisfied with Jing Fan's decision just now.
"Young master, it's not that we don't believe in your mysticism, but the comparison between you as a junior and Mu Feng's old immortal is not equal at all...... Let's fight, the people of our Jing family may not be worse than their Yang family, even if we fight, we are not afraid!" In the crowd, someone stood up and said loudly.
Jing Fan turned slightly, his eyes fell on the young man who stood up, this person he has a memory, his name is Jing Xiang, he has been loyal to the Jing family since he was a child, and he was the first to rush in front several times when he went into the mountains to collect medicine and fight against demon beasts.
"Yang family, I have to deal with it, but not now, even if we can win by fighting hard, it will hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, but in the end, it is just cheap, and the Liu family, who does nothing, if we can get the result at the lowest cost, why don't we do it?" Jing Fan said slowly with a confident smile on his face.
"But......" Jing Xiang froze for a moment, and wanted to say something more, but he was stopped by Jing Xiong on the side, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to go down first, and he wanted to talk to Jing Fan alone.
Jing Xiang glanced at Jing Fan and Jing Xiong, and finally retreated with everyone.
After a while, there were only four people left in the entire Jing family's hall, Jing Xiong and Jing Ba standing together, Jing Fan and Xi Leng standing together.
"You have grown up, you know how to look ahead and look backwards when doing things, this time, whether it is successful or not, I will support you!" His eyes fell on Jing Fan's body, and Jing Xiong said slowly, "Now I will pass on the position of the head of the Jing family to you, and the burden of responsibility of the entire Jing family will fall on your shoulders in the future!"
Jing Fan slowly raised his head and looked at his father and second uncle, a confident smile appeared on Qingxiu's slightly immature face, and a faint voice also came out.
"Don't worry, it's time to give them some punishments, as for the occult competition after half a month, you don't have to worry, I have my own measure, and I will definitely make the Yang family pay ten times the price!
"Liu family?" Jing Ba looked at Jing Fan with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but say loudly.
"Hmm!" Jing Fan nodded and said, "If you can borrow that piece of the Liu family's Essence Treasure Xuanyin Furnace, all of this will be much easier!"
"The Treasure of Jingyuan, Xuanming Furnace, this has always been in the Liu family?" Xi Leng, who had been behind Jing Fan and did not speak, suddenly couldn't help but be surprised, and his eyes were quickly filled with fiery essence, just like seeing a beautiful woman with a full body ** suddenly appear in front of him, his whole body was restless.
