Chapter 644: Feud

“Hunt!”

“Hunt!”

“Hunt…”

Numerous yells and cheers were heard in the town all of a sudden. They were filled with joy and pride.

Ou Yangming turned to look in shock from the restaurant. He saw people walking out of the town one after another, and they were either young or strong men. Each of them had strong physiques, and they looked excited like never before.

Teng Liangpeng laughed out loud and said, “Brother Ou, the Hunting Meet has begun.”

At this time, the restaurant’s boss stooped and approached carefully to ask, “Sir Teng, the feast is ready, so would you like to take your seats?”

The elder nodded without any hesitation. “Okay, we’ll take our seats.”

Nonetheless, it was then when the few Extreme Grade powerhouses behind him stepped forward at the same time and expressed with respect, “Sir, we’d like to hunt too.”

They were in Extreme Grade, but they were still young. According to Teng Liangpeng’s description earlier, they could join the hunt and were even hot candidates to be victorious.

Teng Liangpeng furrowed his eyebrows and questioned, “Why are you going so early when your cultivation bases are much higher than the others? Hmph, are you trying to not give them any chance?”

The men looked at each other embarrassedly.

Ou Yangming thought, ‘Looks like Teng Liangpeng’s quite shrewd. If the Extreme Grade powerhouses go hunting now and fight for quarries against martial artists with Yang Grade cultivation bases at most, one can imagine the outcome before the hunt even starts.

‘On the other hand, the situation will be entirely different if they’re restrained and only allowed to leave after a certain period.

‘But nobody can do this without having a notable reputation and excellent abilities.’

Ou Yangming followed them into the most luxurious room and slowly ate. Throughout the feast, he observed everyone’s expression.

The Extreme Grade martial artists were patient, and they dared not disobey Teng Liangpeng. Even so, they clearly did not have the mood to eat as minutes felt like hours to them.

Ou Yangming frowned. Although the young men were in Extreme Grade, in terms of endurance and disposition, they were far from equal-ranked powerhouses from the lower realm.

Their cultivation bases as great ancestors were meaningless as they did not have the corresponding mental state.

In a way, even if they had achievements in the future, they would be very limited.

Ou Yangming was moved. Cultivating in the Spiritual Realm was indeed more effective than cultivating in the lower realm, but it did not seem like a good thing to a person’s mental state.

Teng Liangpeng was bright-eyed as he took in everyone’s expression. He did not reprimand the powerhouses, but he was rather disappointed because while the children were eager to try, they were not stable at all. If the young men in the town became weaker, it would not be good news for the town.

The elder then glanced at Ou Yangming. He was constantly alert.

Even though the fellow was young, he seemed to be as calm as a mountain as though nothing could shake him.

A genius like him was much better than the young man in the town. If it was possible, Teng Liangpeng wanted to make him stay to be a member of this place. Nevertheless, the elder got rid of the thought when he looked at the spirit beast beside Ou Yangming.

Given that Ou Yangming was protected by a spirit beast at such a young age, Teng Liangpeng figured that he was definitely not from a small and unknown clan.

How could a young man from an influential clan fancy the small town?

Time ticked slowly. After 3 hours, Teng Liangpeng finally said, “It’s about time, so those of you that want to hunt can go now.”

The eyes of the young Extreme Grade martial artists lit up right away. Had they not been enduring such a long time for this moment?

With that, they got up one by one and bid their farewells. All of them still looked confident.

Ou Yangming looked strangely at Teng Liangpeng as he could not understand the elder’s intention.

Teng Liangpeng chuckled and asked, “Brother Ou, do you not understand why I’m doing this?”

“Yes,” Ou Yangming answered honestly after some thought.

“The hunt only lasts for 6 hours. Now that half of the time is gone, if I still don’t let them go, hehe, they won’t stand a chance to come first,” Teng Liangpeng explained seriously, then he sighed and added, “I only want to let them suffer a little setback, but I don’t intend to strip them of their achievements.”

Ou Yangming pondered and remarked, “Elder Teng, you’re very wise indeed. With half of the time gone, unless they’re willing to fail, they’ll surely go all-out. Hehe, if their results turn out to be worse than that of the Yang Grade powerhouses, they’ll likely become jokes of the town in the future.”

Teng Liangpeng laughed out loud. “Brother Ou, you’re incredibly sharp. That’s exactly my intention.”

The young fellow smiled faintly. The Extreme Grade powerhouses might have started late but given their cultivation bases, they would not perform worse than the Yang Grade powerhouses if they gave their all. Despite that, if they slacked, the Yang Grade powerhouses that started hunting 3 hours earlier might not let them gain victory easily.

Given that the elder managed the time perfectly, he must not be underestimated.

As for the other people, instead of leaving, they waited quietly in the restaurant.

Needless to say, the table in front of them was no longer filled with delicious dishes. Instead, they were served fragrant tea from the village, where even Ou Yangming and Big Yellow expressed approval of the fragrance.

Items that were produced in the Spiritual Realm, even if they were from an unknown small town, were of better quality than fine products from the lower realm.

Another hour passed, but Ou Yangming continued to have a casual conversation with Teng Liangpeng and the others. He had only come to the Spiritual Realm for several months and met many people, but he still did not know much about the place.

After intentionally raising questions for some time, Ou Yangming roughly understood the lives of the commoners in the Spiritual Realm. Teng Liangpeng and the others were suspicious, but they still told him what they knew as much as possible.

Without warning, a clamor was heard outside, and it was vaguely accompanied by cries.

One of the men stood up and looked outside the window, then he cried, “It’s the hunters!”

The people in the restaurant were slightly stunned. In particular, Teng Liangpeng and his people were red with rage.

It was worth noting that Spiritualists from the outside world rarely visited their town. Now that they finally met one, the hunters that left to hunt were crying out loud. Were they not bringing shame to the town?

“What’s going on? Go and take a look,” Teng Liangpeng ordered in a deep voice while he held back his anger.

That person nodded but before he could leave, a figure jumped inside in a flash. It was one of the young Extreme Grade powerhouses that left earlier.

He looked afraid and anxious at the moment. As soon as he saw Teng Liangpeng, he shouted as if he found his savior, “Mayor, something bad happened!”

“Shut up!” Teng Liangpeng’s face changed.

That person stood dumbfoundedly and was flustered.

Ou Yangming secretly shook his head. The fellow had an Extreme Grade cultivation base but if he fought against equal-ranked powerhouses—even if they were newly-advanced great ancestors—he would certainly rank last.

Teng Liangpeng took a deep breath before he said, “What is it? Take your time.”

The man lowered his head and responded, “Yes, Mayor. We were hunting on the mountain behind the town, but the people from the Lu Family Town suddenly appeared. Not only did they steal our quarries, but they also hurt several people.” He paused for a while before he continued, “We were reasoning with them, but they sent a spirit beast…”

“A spirit beast?” Teng Liangpeng was struck dumb. “Are you sure that it’s a spirit beast?”

“Yes, we couldn’t have been mistaken!”

Teng Liangpeng nodded slowly. He looked at Ou Yangming and said, “Brother Ou, there’s a small problem that needs to be handled. Wait here for a while, and we’ll come back to join you once we settle it.”

Ou Yangming rubbed his nose and thought, ‘How unlucky I must be that something like this is happening while I’m having a meal?’

Having said that, he could tell that Teng Liangpeng and the others did not arrange the unforeseen change; it was truly an emergency.

The young fellow cleared his throat and expressed, “Elder Teng, if you don’t mind, allow me to go and take a look too.”

Teng Liangpeng’s eyes glowed, and he smiled. “Since you’re interested, come with us.”

He had not perceived Ou Yangming’s strength, but Big Yellow’s strength was clear to see. Even if he could not utilize the big yellow dog’s power, he could let it come along to put up a front.

Following that, everyone stood up and followed the Extreme Grade cultivator to the mountain behind.

Ou Yangming did not walk quickly, but he followed Big Yellow closely, hence nobody saw through his capability.

Before long, they arrived at the place of the incident. Over there, tens of burly men stood in rows, and they were sneering disdainfully. Opposite them, the martial artists from the town glared at them together.

Teng Liangpeng looked into the distance and scoffed before he questioned loudly, “Lu Zhenxie, why are you people from the Lu family here?”

The person in the front was a middle-aged man. He sneered and answered, “Old Teng, don’t make a fuss over nothing. We were just hunting.”

“Hunting? Is this where you should be hunting?” Teng Liangpeng laughed due to extreme anger. “Lu Zhenxie, would you like me to hunt in the Lu Family Town?”

Lu Zhenjie could not help but laugh. “Old Teng, if you’re capable and aren’t afraid of not being able to return, go ahead and try it.”

Teng Liangpeng was enraged. “If that’s the case, I can make sure that you won’t be able to go back too.”

Judging from how they were giving each other tit for tat, it was clear that there had long been a feud between them.
