Lin Feng just now executed a move that seemed fierce, but in reality, it was more of a test. Lin Feng had a feeling that this person was following him for other purposes.
Sure enough, when the person saw Lin Feng take action, he did not dare to be careless and quickly retreated while trying to block Lin Feng's strike.
Although he reacted quickly and was quite experienced in the field, the gap in strength ultimately could not be compensated by experience. Lin Feng easily knocked him down to the ground with a single palm strike.
This was also within Lin Feng's expectations. After all, while Lin Feng was not arrogant, he could confidently say that with his current strength, no one could defeat him.
What surprised Lin Feng was that this person was also an Internal Energy Martial Artist. Although he could not withstand Lin Feng's attack, an Internal Energy Martial Artist was still an Internal Energy Martial Artist. Lin Feng did not believe that just anyone picked off the street could be an Internal Energy Martial Artist.
In this day and age, Internal Energy Martial Artists were still quite rare; they were not something you could find in abundance.
"Now, you have two choices: the first is to disappear from this world forever, and the second is to tell me why you are following me." Lin Feng did not want to create unnecessary killings. After all, if he killed this person, he would just be a pawn; it would be better to extract some useful information from him.
However, being able to send an Internal Energy Martial Artist as a pawn indicated that the force behind him was certainly not ordinary.
Unconsciously, Lin Feng regarded the one who sent this person as a force rather than an individual. After all, having such an Internal Energy Martial Artist serving under him made Lin Feng see the other party as a formidable power.
Wu Cheng had truly fallen into trouble today. He initially thought that the Wu Family's Old Master had sent him to protect some young kid. Although he did not understand why the Wu Family's Old Master suddenly wanted him to protect someone unrelated to the family, he came because he followed orders.
Upon arriving here and seeing Lin Feng, Wu Cheng became even more convinced that this kid was just a young novice. However, he never expected that during his first attempt to follow and protect Lin Feng, he would end up being defeated by Lin Feng in such a manner.
As an Internal Energy Martial Artist, he could easily deduce that Lin Feng was undoubtedly an Inner Strength Expert.
What astonished him was that Lin Feng, at such a young age, had already reached the level of an Inner Strength Expert. Moreover, in Wu Cheng's eyes, Lin Feng's cultivation level seemed unfathomable.
At this point, while feeling helpless, Wu Cheng finally began to understand why the Wu Family's Old Master had sent him to protect Lin Feng. However, he did not know that the Old Master only believed that Lin Feng might possess the ability to absorb Jade Energy and had no idea how high Lin Feng's actual cultivation level was.
"Heh... do you think I will submit?" Even though he knew his strength was inferior to Lin Feng, and given the current situation, there was no chance of counterattacking or even escaping, as a member of the Wu Family, and as someone trusted by the Old Master, Wu Cheng naturally could not choose the so-called second option given by Lin Feng.
Although the Old Master had ordered him to protect Lin Feng, since it was meant to be done secretly, he certainly would not reveal his true intentions to Lin Feng. At most, it would mean losing his life; at this point, Wu Cheng had come to terms with it.
"You really won't submit? It's just about saying a little something. Are you really willing to abandon your wife and children at home for a secret? What kind of person is worth your loyalty like this?" The more stubborn his opponent was, the more uneasy Lin Feng felt. In his view, Wu Cheng’s following him today definitely harbored ill intentions. A force capable of cultivating such death warriors and having Internal Energy Martial Artists was certainly not something that could be ignored by Lin Feng.
What worried Lin Feng most was that he might offend both Song Gang and Qian Bang, and on top of that unknowingly provoke some unknown powerful force. If that happened, it would put him in a passive position.
After all, Lin Feng has just acquired Internal Energy. Although his upgrades are rapid and his strength is improving steadily, Lin Feng would never be arrogant enough to think he could compete with those entrenched major powers.
This is also why Lin Feng instigated the conflict between Song Gang and Qian Bang, preparing to reap the benefits as a bystander.
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, especially when he mentioned his wife and children at home, Wu Cheng fell silent. After all, while Wu Cheng is loyal to the Wu Family, he is also a husband and a father. This bond is not something he can easily sever.
After a moment of silence, Wu Cheng raised his head, determination etched on his face, and said to Lin Feng, "Haha... you don't need to persuade me anymore. Today, I admit my skills are lacking. Since I've fallen into your hands, do as you wish."
His tone was resolute and fearless, but Lin Feng still caught the hint of reluctance in his eyes. Lin Feng knew he was reluctant to part with his wife and children.
"You're a good man. You can go now; don't follow me anymore. Otherwise, I won't show mercy," Lin Feng said again.
"Alright." The man did not expect that Lin Feng would let him go without obtaining the information he wanted. However, at this moment, he had no time to hesitate; he uttered a single word before turning and fleeing.
He knew that regardless of Lin Feng's reasons, running away today might mean safety. But if he didn't run, once Lin Feng changed his mind, he might not have another chance to escape.
Wu Cheng had been so reckless just now, but who says he wasn't afraid of death? Everyone would choose life over death.
Of course, this excludes those who choose to end their own lives due to extreme mental turmoil.
Seeing the other party flee, Lin Feng was not anxious. One reason he let him go was that last look in his eyes; someone who feels so deeply for their wife and children cannot be a complete scoundrel. Another reason was that Lin Feng understood that even if he killed him, he still wouldn't obtain what he wanted. Since that was the case, it was better to let him go and then find what he needed from him.
For example, Lin Feng could track him back; as long as he reported back, Lin Feng would know which faction he belonged to. This way of killing two birds with one stone was something Lin Feng was more than willing to do.
Tracking people was precisely one of Lin Feng's strengths. He had already placed a Soul Mark on Wu Cheng. With his current Mental Power, as long as Wu Cheng did not leave City B, a mid-level city, Lin Feng could still keep track of his movements through Mental Power.
Now that the person he was tracking had left, all Lin Feng could do was wait.
With Dong Jie gone and unable to contact her frequently, regarding the matters of Song Gang and Qian Bang, Lin Feng could only wait. After all, being a fisherman requires patience.
Thinking about this, Lin Feng suddenly felt that he really had nothing to do tonight.
Just as Lin Feng was contemplating going back to his dormitory to sleep for the night, his Mobile Phone rang again.
"Feng Shao, the owner of Xinxin Building has been found. I talked with him for a while and have a rough understanding of the situation now. There are some details I need to report to you," Li Zhong said. Having spent more time with Lin Feng, Li Zhong knew that when Lin Feng wasn't angry, he was quite easygoing. However, whenever it came time for Li Zhong to report something to him, he would act like a devoted subordinate.
"Oh? What did you find out?" Lin Feng didn't expect news to come so quickly. Since he had nothing else to do at the moment, he decided to listen in.
"This is a bit complicated. Let me explain it to Feng Shao in detail," Li Zhong said to Lin Feng after thinking for a moment.
"In that case, Li Zhong, you don't need to say anything for now. I have nothing to do at the moment, so why not head to the Wolf Gang headquarters? First, I can hear you explain the situation; second, I want to see how the Wolf King has been reorganizing the Wolf Gang; and lastly, I plan to stay at the Wolf Gang headquarters for the night since Dong Jie has moved out, and now I am homeless," Li Zhong considered himself a subordinate, but Lin Feng did not think that way and smiled as he spoke.
"Oh, that's fine. The Wolf King has prepared a room for Feng Shao at the Wolf Gang headquarters. However, he wasn't sure about Feng Shao's intentions, so he didn't mention it to you. Since Feng Shao is coming, I'll let them know so they can make arrangements," Li Zhong said. Hearing that Lin Feng would personally visit the Wolf Gang tonight excited him. He knew Lin Feng's strength, and since Lin Feng wanted to check on everyone at the Wolf Gang, it was inevitable that he would offer some guidance. Li Zhong believed that receiving guidance from Lin Feng would benefit everyone in the Wolf Gang, including himself.
Lin Feng hadn't expected the Wolf King to be so considerate. Since it was their goodwill, he had no reason to refuse. It was also convenient because if he encountered a similar situation in the future, he could use the Wolf Gang headquarters as a good place to stay.
Previously, Lin Feng had avoided going to the Wolf Gang because he didn't want others to know about his relationship with them. Now that he had become an Inner Strength Expert and improved his Mental Power, he felt confident in avoiding others' tracking. Most importantly, now that Lin Feng had Internal Energy and was preparing to go to war with Song Gang, he needed to train these guys in the Wolf Gang well. After all, they were his subordinates, and improving their strength would benefit him.
Having made up his mind, Lin Feng took a taxi to the Wolf Gang headquarters.
As before, Lin Feng effortlessly bypassed several defensive mechanisms at the Wolf Gang headquarters. The Wolf King did not come out to greet Lin Feng as per Lin Feng's instructions; after all, this was a sensitive time, and it was better to be cautious.
Upon entering the Wolf Gang headquarters, he found himself in the same room as before. Lin Feng sat in the main seat while those who had previously met with him were already called in by the Wolf King for a meeting.
"Well... Wolf King, how has things been with the Wolf Gang recently?" Lin Feng began by asking about the current situation of the Wolf Gang. Although Li Zhong would inform him of any major developments within the gang, Lin Feng felt it was important to show respect and inquire about recent happenings as a sign of valuing the Wolf King's efforts.
Moreover, while Li Zhong had reported some situations to him, it was unreasonable for Lin Feng to expect Li Zhong to report everything. It was good for him to understand things in detail now.
