BXBX NOVEL Chapter 277 The Cai Family Head
The five youths immediately straightened up as they looked at the middle-aged man who spoke with respect. This man was someone that they clearly respected.
"Elder Yuan!" the man in the front who was so arrogant before said with respect.
"What is wrong with the lot of you? Do you not know that there is a higher peak no matter where you go? The men in front of you can squash you like bugs and here you are, threatening them." Cai Yuan shook his head.
"Cai Yuan. It feels like I heard this name before." Liu Feng mused.
"Well then, looks like you finally came here. I should thank you for the help that you have given our family that time ago, giving us the truth about that lass Yun\'er." Cai Yuan said.
"So he is the elder that I spoke to all those days ago when I cooked up the story in the Pill Tower!" Liu Feng realised. Keeping his mouth shut, he nodded kindly.
"I need to meet with the family head. Is there any way that I can do that as fast as possible?" Liu Feng asked.
"Meeting the family head... will be a little difficult. With the succession battles just a few months away from occurring, this is a very tense time for the family head." Cai Yuan said.
"Good. I want to talk to him about the succession wars as well. Tell him that if he wants the Cai family to come out unscathed, and even profit from the aftermath, he needs to come out. After all, there are three, maybe four Soul Evolution Stage cultivators on this side, and that does not include my father, and my foster father." Liu Feng said.
It did feel weird to say both in the same sentence, but the desired effect was reached.
"Four Soul Evolution Stage cultivators? The Sky Heavens sect does not have four to spare. I know that much at least." Cai Yuan said.
"Who said anything about them?" Liu Feng smiled as he looked to the distance.
"You are listening on anyways. Why don\'t you let me join in your conversation? It is best if we talk close up rather than with so much distance between us." he said.
Cai Yuan was confused. He looked at what Liu Feng was speaking at. At the distance, there was a dome visible among the trees of the pathways.
"There is no way! The family head is listening to this conversation?" a terrifying thought appeared in Cai Yuan\'s mind. That meant that Liu Feng, the youngster in front of him, was stronger than him. It could only mean that he was in the Soul Evolution stage himself.
Liu Feng stopped for a moment, and then nodded at Liu Man. They suddenly hovered a few meters off the ground, and then dashed to the distance.
They had just spoken with the Cai Family head, who invited them both to his residence.
Cai Yuan was stuck here, looking blankly at the two who rushed forward. They were so fast that all he could see were their after images.
"This is just impossible. Those two were in the Soul Evolution Stage? I thought that they were just Xiantian realm core sect disciples from the sect, but to think that they were terrifying monsters. This cannot be true. How is a boy so young so strong?" the simple thought shook Cai Yuan\'s mind.
He then looked at the five youths who were standing there blankly.
"And then there is your lot. While he is a few years younger than you, he is already stronger than me. As for you, all of you are still stuck in the Core Formation Stage, and you use the name of the family to boss people around. What are you doing outside? The succession wars will come soon, and it won\'t all be fun and games then. Go and cultivate!" he barked at them.
The five quickly turned tail and ran back to where they came from.
They all looked in the direction that Liu Feng and Liu Man came, hateful of their arrival. All that came of their arrival was more work for them.
Meanwhile, Liu Feng and Liu Man stood in the front of a huge mansion. At the top of it, a dome that towered above everything, the top of the entire estate.
This was where the family head stayed. There was not a single person in sight even though this was the center of the entire family. Whatever he was doing, it was secretive, for entry to be so restrictive.
"Come in. You came all the way here." a gentle voice said, and the giant doors of the mansion clicked open.
Liu Feng led the way and walked in without much worry. His divine sense had already scanned in front of him, and he knew that there was nothing to worry about in front of him. And he had Liu Man at his side. He would trust no one else to cover his back.
As they walked in, the luxury of a huge family showed itself in full force.
They were greeted by a hall that was lit up to the extreme. But looking at the light source, what appeared to be crystals of extreme Qi density, Liu Feng realized that they were spirit stones with runes inscribed on top of them to make them light crystals.
"I need to look at the runes once. Maybe the sect has a few books regarding this." Liu Feng made a mental note as he kept walking.
He knew where the family head was. He was deep within the mansion, and a quick scan with divine sense told Liu Feng that.
But what was even more surprising was that there was someone else with the family head. And looking at the current situation, there was only one answer.
"I guess this is our lucky day. Two birds with one stone. The tenth prince is here as well."
