Chapter 144: A Backer Who Comes to You

Su Jingzhen was greatly shocked to see a figure in black sitting in the pavilion in his courtyard.It turned out to be Shen Yifeng, the black-clad man who had nearly taken his life on Clear Wind Mountain that day!

Although Su Jingzhen had already guessed in the strange land of Clear Wind Mountain that day, this black-clad man was probably there to test him, and most likely a high-ranking member of the Evil Moon Sect, he couldn’t help but feel nervous when he saw him again.

“I am Shen Yifeng, the third elder of the Evil Moon Sect,”

At this time, Shen Yifeng saw Su Jingzhe’s nervous look.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he directly introduced himself.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen relaxed his guard slightly.

Indeed, as he had guessed.

He didn’t feel any sharp aura from the other party at the moment.

And since the other party introduced himself like this, it was unlikely that he would attack again.

Moreover, this guy’s identity was indeed as he had guessed, quite frightening.

When they were on Clear Wind Mountain, he speculated that this old guy was probably not just in the Golden Core stage.

It was highly likely that he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

And as the third elder in the Evil Moon Sect, he was indeed a powerful figure.

“Youngster Su Jingzhen, greets the third elder!”

Although Su Jingzhen was now the Chief Acolyte of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, in terms of status and seniority, he was naturally inferior to the other party, so he had to show respect.

“Two days ago on Clear Wind Mountain, my original intention was just to test you.”

“However, in the last two strikes, I admit that I didn’t control the force well and was a bit heavy-handed. I apologize for injuring you,”

At this time, Shen Yifeng had already stood up.

Since he had promised Luo Yuebai, he was extremely sincere about this matter.

He didn’t become overly arrogant just because of his identity and strength being higher than Su Jingzhen’s.

This behavior made Su Jingzhen slightly stunned.

At the same time, his guard lowered slightly.

An Nascent Soul cultivator taking the initiative to apologize to him was indeed surprising.

Before Su Jingzhen could say anything, Shen Yifeng continued, “However, your performance was indeed beyond my expectations.”

“You are Indeed worthy of being the Chief Acolyte of the Linjiang branch!”

“Now, let me ask you, are you willing to accept me as your master? I am at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul cultivation!”

As Shen Yifeng spoke, there was a smile on his lips, and he looked at Su Jingzhen with some expectation. Seaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Although this matter was promised to Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen’s performance that day did satisfy him. So if he could really accept Su Jingzhen as his disciple, he would be quite delighted.

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen was stunned once again.

He never expected that the old guy who had nearly taken his life would turn around and ask to accept him as a disciple.

He could see Shen Yifeng’s sincerity at the moment.

But he knew his own situation; his Dantian was shattered and has not been repaired yet. And Shen Yifeng was not a practitioner of Body Cultivation.

After a moment of contemplation, he smiled bitterly and said, “Elder Shen may not know, but the junior has no choice but to embark on the path of Body Cultivation. My Dantian has already been shattered.”

He had no intention of hiding this situation. After all, he had already been frank with Yan Xia about it before. As long as someone was willing to understand, this matter was not a secret at all.

Hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Shen Yifeng’s face showed a trace of astonishment. He hadn’t expected this.

But after just a moment, his admiration for Su Jingzhen grew even stronger as he looked at him.

With a movement, he had already stepped forward to Su Jingzhen.

Then he reached out and grabbed Su Jingzhen’s wrist.

After a brief investigation, he couldn’t help feeling emotional.

“It is indeed shattered… But you have actually unlocked three Human Body Secret Repositories! No wonder your resilience is so strong and your recovery so fast!”

Just like on the square that day with Senior Jiuchi, after personally investigating, Shen Yifeng was extremely shocked.

At the same time, he became even more excited.

“Youngster, although I am not a practitioner of Body Cultivation, I have some understanding of it. I ask again, are you willing to accept me as your master? I will definitely provide you with the best body refining resources!”

At this moment, Shen Yifeng still gazed at Su Jingzhen with eager eyes. His affection was genuine.

Shen Yifeng didn’t say much, but his words were concise and meaningful, full of promises and appreciation.

Seeing Su Jingzhen still silent, Shen Yifeng smiled again and said, “Because you are a legitimate practitioner of Body Cultivation, following the path of opening secret repositories, I actually cannot help you much in this matter.”

“Therefore, I won’t interfere with your cultivation path; everything will be according to your original plan. However, if you have any needs, you can always come to me. So, if we become master and disciple, it will probably only be in name.”

As Shen Yifeng spoke, he remained incredibly sincere.

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen suddenly felt a bit moved.

He knew that his position as the Chief Acolyte of the Linjiang branch was somewhat superficial. But if there was a third elder from the main sect standing behind him, everything would be different.

Although this would completely tie him to the demonic path, what did it matter?

At least, so far, he hadn’t seen any inappropriate behavior from these demonic practitioners or their high-ranking members.

He was even clear that none of the Nascent Soul elders from the orthodox sects would apologize so generously.

Whether it was Luo Yuebai or this third elder Shen Yifeng, these high-ranking members of the demonic path seemed to be truly genuine.

And now, Shen Yifeng smiled again and said, “Perhaps this decision is a bit sudden for you. I don’t ask you to make a decision immediately, but as long as you figure it out, you can come to me at any time.”

With a slight smile, Shen Yifeng was about to turn and leave.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen hesitated no longer.

“Elder Shen, please wait!”

Shen Yifeng turned back, and Su Jingzhen said earnestly, “I am willing to accept Elder Shen as my master!”

If the mountain came to him, Su Jingzhen would be foolish to push it away. At least for now, accepting Shen Yifeng as his master seemed harmless!

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Shen Yifeng’s face.

Then, as Su Jingzhen was about to kneel and perform the ceremony, Shen Yifeng gently raised his hand. The powerful spiritual force from his Nascent Soul stage instantly straightened Su Jingzhen’s body.

“I already said before, although you are my disciple, I cannot teach you much. Most of the time, we will only be master and disciple in name. So, we can skip some formalities. As a person from the demonic path, my word is as good as gold!”

In Su Jingzhen’s worldview, anyone worthy of respect could be accepted as a master. Even if they were only master and disciple in name, he would still kneel.

But Shen Yifeng’s actions at this moment once again moved him.

Then, he bowed again:

“Disciple Su Jingzhen, pays respects to Master!”

“Hahaha, very well!”
