"Do not antagonize Mo Feng."
When the other Elders of the Sect heard the Sect Master's warning they all had the same thought in their minds.
'Who the hell is Mo Feng?' As if reading their minds the Sect leader responded.
"Mo Feng is an Outer Sect Disciple that was recently accepted into the sect."
The moment they heard that the person was nothing more than a new Outer Sect Disciple, the Elders were all confused. Chu Feng, the Elder in charge of disciplining disciples who had a very fiery temper asked a question.
"Sect Master, are you asking me to give way to this kid? If he does something wrong should I just make way for him, and give him a drink while he's breaking all the rules?"
The Sect Master looked at Chu Feng with a weird expression on his face and sighed. The Sect Master then looked at every other Elder in the room and they more or less looked like they had the same thoughts as Chu Feng.
"That's not what I meant. You can treat him like any other disciple, if he does something wrong he can be punished, no need for special treatment, but do not do anything wrongful to him. I know some of the disciples and some of you Elders like to play around with cloaks and daggers but do not even try doing that to him."
"Why?"
"As of now I can't tell you the complete details, but all I can say is the Void Sect is only a training ground for Mo Feng, as long as it remains fair and does not do anything directly evil to Mo Feng, it won't matter even if he dies... But if, and only if he dies in a way that was not fair like being attacked without issuing a proper challenge by someone with a higher cultivation or if someone uses poison then..."
The Sect Master spoke in a serious tone, but he could not say the final word he wanted to say as he was under a contract that won't allow him to say it for now.
"Well, the only thing you need to know is that if you guys intentionally antagonize Mo Feng without any proper reason then it would be a disaster. The most you can do that's allowed is send assassins of the same cultivation or slightly higher. You can also directly challenge him to battle and if he accepts then it would be his fault if he dies or survives."
After saying that the Sect Master no longer said anything more and left with half of the Sect Elders to the front lines. Even though he could not understand why an expert like the Sect Master would act like that Elder Ming knew that there must be a reason.
'Just remembering the slight fear in the Sect Master's voice makes me wonder what kind of secret Mo Feng is hiding... That Grandson of mine always doing something troublesome. Once I deal with this problem I better reeducate him. I guess losing the reputation he built can be a good punishment for him.'
...
News of Elder MIng apologizing for his grandson and his subordinate's misconduct towards Mo Feng, he even gave Mo Feng some presents as a sign of his sincerity. This news shocked everyone in the Sect more so than the news regarding Ren.
The disciples started to wonder if Mo Feng had some kind of special background, so many of the disciples who come from good families tried to gather information about this newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple. Yet no matter how hard they dug they could only see that Mo Feng came from a small clan with only one Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
After numerous people got the same information most of them concluded that the only reason Elder Ming was apologizing was because of his good character. So now, with all the information they gathered about Mo Feng they couldn't find anything special about it. He was just a genius of some small clan. They were no longer that much interested in him but they still kept tabs on him.
After that day Mo Feng no longer had any problems with Ming Hao and his followers. They also stopped harassing Ying Yue. This gave Mo Feng more time to focus on the upcoming tournament.
...
In the darkness of the night, some people at the Golden Core Realm arrived just outside Mo Feng's residence. They had concealed themselves very well and were observing Mo Feng who was cultivating.
"So this guy is the target? He's only at the Foundation Establishment Realm... Is it really necessary for all of us to be here?" One of the assassins spoke in a whisper.
"Don't question it, as long as the client pays enough all we need to do is fulfill the mission."
"Still, don't you think it's weird that the pay for this mission is so high? With that amount of spirit stones the client could have hired a Nascent Soul Expert."
"Like I said it is not our place to ask questions we just need to do what we are paid to do. Alright, let's go and get this over with."
The six Golden Core Realm assassins were about to strike the cultivating Mo Feng when someone suddenly appeared before them it was a man wearing a butler suit, his cultivation was unknown. Still, to appear before them without making a noise must mean he was an expert. The butler smiled at the assassins as he did a little bow before speaking.
"My dear assassins, unfortunately, I cannot allow you to proceed. If you were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm or if only one of you was at the Golden Core Realm then I would not have bothered, but since you are one realm higher than the young master and are coming in such numbers then you cannot proceed from here. So how about you six leave now."
When the six assassins heard the butler calling Mo Feng young master they confirmed that this guy was truly an enemy. Even though they could not grasp how strong the person in front of them was they could not retreat. Retreating from an assassination means death not only for themselves but also for their loved ones.
The six assassins looked at each other and after a brief pause they all started running in different directions, but they did not plan to escape instead if there was a chance they would try to kill the target. Yet the moment they tried to run some invisible force had grabbed hold of their necks, they tried to escape with all their might but they could not do anything, they then heard a sigh.
"I didn't really want to kill you people, but since you are so set on attacking the young master, then, I-" Walter did not finish what he was going to say as he felt something, he quickly ducked but nothing happened. As he looked around confused Walter then heard someone chuckle.
"You really have good senses." When Walter heard this voice he quickly knelt on the ground which shocked the assassins that were still being held by an invisible force.
"Your Butler Walter greets Master." The moment the assassins heard Walter say Master they knew that there was no hope anymore of survival.
"Yes, it's been a while." Ren and Fang Mu appeared before Walter who was kneeling on the ground. "So are you going to kill these assassins?"
"Yes, they were about to attack Young Master Mo Feng despite having higher cultivation."
"Hmm... Don't do that I have a better idea in mind." Ren smiled a ferocious smile which made the assassins who did not fear even death felt terrified when they saw it.
