Chapter 95: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A chill ran directly from the soles of his feet to Chen Feis head. This was the Immortal Cloud City. If even this place had an evil presence, then where else could he go and hide in the sect?

Chen Fei suddenly grabbed Chi Defengs hand and dashed out of the courtyard in a flash. He couldnt stay here any longer. No matter what the reason was, Chi Defengs reaction was not right. It was as if he had been bewitched by a ghost.

Chi Defeng looked at Chen Feis actions in surprise, but he did not resist. He believed that Chen Fei would not hurt him.

Chen Fei brought Chi Defeng over the courtyard wall and arrived at the alley. From afar, there were faint sounds of peddlers and people talking. Everything seemed to be the same as before.

Chen Fei frowned. The surrounding scene did not seem to be strange. At first, Chen Fei thought that he still needed to use other methods to leave the courtyard. Now, he came out very easily.

However, it was not safe to stay here. Chen Fei pulled Chi Defeng and directly went to the main street. People came and went here, which diluted the nervousness in Chen Feis heart.

Whats wrong? Seeing that Chen Fei didnt make any other movements and only frowned, Chi Defeng couldnt help but ask.

Do you understand the situation in the courtyard next door?Chen Fei looked at the dark circles under Chi Defengs eyes. Could this be caused by something evil?

I know a little. Didnt I tell you a few days ago? Chi Defeng felt a little creeped out by Chen Fei.

Isnt there a big family next door? How can there be no children?Chen Fei whispered.

I dont know. It wasnt good to ask others such a question at that time. Chi Defeng shook his head. How could he ask about the family situation of someone who was not related to him? Those who did not know would think that he was plotting something.

Yes!

Chen Fei nodded slightly. Suddenly, he felt a little strange. As the Clear Heart Formula circulated at high speed, a trace of unreality floated in Chen Feis heart.

Chen Fei looked at the people around him. Each person was abnormally lively, and he could not see the slightest problem. However, Chen Fei had heard their conversations before.

In Chen Feis memories, these peoples actions and conversations had already happened before. It was when Chen Fei came out of the Zhao family manor just now.

No, this place is fake!

Chen Fei turned his head to look at Chi Defeng. He circulated the Clear Heart Formula to the extreme, and everything around him slowed down.

Chen Feis eyes quickly took in the surrounding scene. Whether it was Chi Defeng, the people around him, or even the surrounding scene, an unreal scene appeared.

II

Break!

II

Chen Fei shouted, and his right hand formed a sword finger, suddenly stabbing forward.

Ka! Bang!

The scene in front of him cracked and then shattered. The person who appeared in front of Chen Fei was still Chi Defeng. Chen Feis sword finger stopped when it was still a foot away from Chi Defeng.

Chi Defeng was shocked by Chen Feis actions. He couldnt help but lean back and look at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked around. In the rented courtyard, the unreal feeling around him had disappeared.

Wow. It hurts.

The childs crying could be heard. Although it was suppressed, Chen Fei heard it immediately. In a flash, Chen Fei jumped over the courtyard wall and landed in the courtyard next door. He saw a little girl who was holding her head in pain.

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes and stepped back with his right foot. He appeared in front of the little girl and grabbed her neck.

Misunderstanding, young friend, this is a misunderstanding!

A cold palm appeared in front of Chen Fei. Chen Feis expression changed slightly. This was not a palm that a living person should have. This was the hand of a dead person or even a ghost.

A dagger appeared in Chen Feis hand and slashed at the strange hand that had suddenly appeared.

Little friend, lets talk things out. We really have no ill intentions!

Suddenly, more than ten palms of the same kind appeared in front of Chen Fei. These palms that contained a cold aura grabbed at Chen Feis body.

Before his palm touched Chen Feis skin, he felt a stinging pain. Chen Fei frowned. If he insisted on making a move or even used Sword Five, he would definitely be able to break through the obstruction of these palms and injure or even kill this little girl.

However, Chen Fei would probably be injured later. These cunning hands were not easy to deal with. Not only did they have a strange coldness, but they also carried other toxins. Chen Fei could already smell a trace of fishy sweetness.

Bang!

Starry Night Sword unfurled, and the dagger collided with the cunning hand. Chen Fei used the force to fly backward and came to the courtyard wall. He looked down at the little girl and the old man who suddenly appeared.

Grandpa, my head hurts. Hes so bad. Grandpa hit him. Si Yinan covered her head with her hands. Tears hung on her cheeks. She looked like she was just over ten years old. At this moment, she was looking at Si Yuanhai with tears in her eyes.

How many times have I told you not to use your power to affect others? This is not a joke. Si Yuanhai looked at Si Yinans appearance. Although his heart ached, he still reprimanded her sternly.

I was just joking.

Si Yinan said unwillingly, And he was so fierce just now. It seemed like he was going to hit me!

As Si Yinan spoke, she pointed at Chen Fei with her little finger, her eyes filled with accusation.

Whats wrong?

Chi Defeng jumped onto the wall and looked at Chen Fei with some doubt. Just now, Chi Defeng wasnt able to react in time. When he came up again, he saw such a scene.

Little friend, Im really sorry. Ive doted on her too much and almost caused a disaster. I hope you can forgive me. Si Yuanhai looked at Chen Fei and bowed slightly.

Si Yinan looked at her grandfather and pouted. She knew that his grandfather was serious and didnt dare to say anything else. After glancing at Chen Fei, Si Yinan hid behind Si Yuanhai.

What happened just now?

Chen Feis expression was solemn. He had actually been silently dragged into an illusion. This was something that Chen Fei had never expected.

One had to know that even when facing s.h.i.+ Xueqin previously, Chen Feis Clear Heart Formula could resist the temptation of the other party and maintain his consciousness. In the end, he didnt notice anything at all just now.

It could not be said that he did not notice at all. The Clear Heart Formula should have already alerted him. Otherwise, Chen Fei would not have subconsciously asked Chi Defeng that question.

Chen Fei had probably subconsciously noticed the danger, which was why he had made the follow-up actions and finally broke the illusion.

However, too much time had elapsed in between. Sometimes, a battle was just a matter of a second. Just now, in reality, perhaps Chen Fei was only stunned for a moment, but that moment of shock was enough for others to kill Chen Fei.

Little friend, can you come down? Allow me to explain to you that we have no ill intentions.

Si Yuanhai could not help but laugh bitterly when he saw Chen Feis guarded appearance. What was this? He had only gone in to do something else. He did not expect his granddaughter to drag someone else into the illusion.

However, Si Yuanhai was very surprised that Chen Fei could break through the illusion and almost capture his granddaughter. This was because he sensed that Chen Feis martial arts realm was only in the Bone Tempering realm.

Logically speaking, with this cultivation level, no matter what, he should not be able to detect the illusion that Si Yinan had set up. It could only be said that the Immortal Cloud City was really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. They seemed like they were just ordinary neighbors, but apparently, high-level cultivators were hidden everywhere.

If Chen Fei knew what Si Yuanhai was thinking, he would probably roll his eyes. There were indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons. But Chen Fei would probably feel it should be him thinking of that instead in not expecting that his neighbor was actually an expert.

Put it this way. Im listening.

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and decided to maintain a safe distance.

Although the other party did not seem to have any malicious intentions, Chen Fei did not want to put his safety in the hands of others.

Especially since the other party had the ability to instantly drag people into an illusion, Chen Fei had to be on guard.

Si Yuanhai smiled bitterly and shook his head. He pulled Si Yinan out from behind and said with a stern expression, Apologize first. You dragged someone into an illusion for no reason. Even if someone kills you, its only natural. Ive told you many times not to play around like this. If Grandpa had come a little later, you would have died long ago, understand?

Grandpa, Im sorry! Si Yinan looked at Si Yuanhais unprecedented sternness, and tears fell one by one.

Chen Fei looked at Si Yinans tears, which actually condensed into ice b.a.l.l.s as they fell to the ground. His eyes couldnt help but widen slightly. Chi Defeng was the same. Although he had seen the world, this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

Dont apologize to me. You have to apologize to someone else!

Si Yuanhais heart ached, but he knew that he had to make Si Yinan remember this. The Immortal Cloud City was not like the small city they used to live in. It could be slightly more presumptuous.

There were many experts in the Immortal Cloud City. It was simply suicide to provoke others. Si Yuanhai didnt want his granddaughter to lose her life just because she was playing around. That would be the most unjust thing.

Im sorry!

Si Yinan looked at Chen Fei and bowed to apologize.

Those who didnt know better would think that Chen Fei was bullying others when they saw this scene. After all, how could a ten-year-old child apologize to an adult?

My friend, we truly have no ill intentions.

After Si Yinan apologized, Chen Feis expression eased a little. Si Yuanhai looked at Chen Fei and said, Yi Nan was born with a different body and can do things that ordinary people cant. She was young and ignorant and often used this to make fun of others. However, she really did not have any ill intentions. I hope that you can forgive her.

As Si Yuanhai spoke, he took out something from his sleeve. Then, a pale, cunning hand appeared and slowly moved the thing in front of Chen Fei.

Chi Defeng stared at this bizarre hand, his eyes almost popping out. What kind of technique was this? And why did this palm look so unlike a living person?

This is Thousand Snow Bamboo. It can resist illusions to a certain extent when worn. I hope that youll accept it, Si Yuanhai whispered.

Chen Fei looked at the Thousand Snow Bamboo in the box and hesitated for a moment. He picked up the box with his dagger and cupped his hands at Si Yuanhai before returning to his courtyard.

When Chi Defeng saw this, he also hurriedly jumped back into his courtyard.

Grandpa, hes so timid. He doesnt even dare to come down and talk to us. Si Yinan tugged at the corner of Si Yuanhais s.h.i.+rt and whispered.

This is called being cautious. In this world, only cautious people can live longer. Thinking of his Thousand Snow Bamboo, Si Yuanhai suddenly felt his heartache. He couldnt help but smack Si Yinans b.u.t.t hard.

Ow!

Si Yinan didnt expect his grandfather to hit her. She started crying even louder than before..
