"Li Hei, you're really something! I asked you to deliver a pill to Senior Brother Ye, and you managed to lose it all? Do you even know who Senior Brother Ye is? He's the number one expert among the outer disciples of our Lingyun Sect. Can you take responsibility for delaying Senior Brother Ye's breakthrough?"
The young man whipped the thin man who was curled up, cursing as he did so.
"Do you know that because of you, I got a real dressing down from Senior Brother Ye? Damn it, a menial disciple is just a menial disciple, what a piece of trash!"
The young man struck the thin man harder, making a loud noise as the thin man was covered in blood, causing Wang Feng outside the door to frown.
Is it wrong to be whipped for such a trivial matter? Are menial disciples not human?
This was the first time Wang Feng had truly witnessed the cruelty of the cultivation world; the law of the jungle was indeed not just a saying.
However, although Wang Feng felt sorry for the thin man, he didn't intend to meddle. He wasn't exactly a pushover. There were plenty of miserable people out there; if he took care of every single one, he'd be overwhelmed.
He came here simply to see what had happened, but he never expected to witness such a cruel scene. From this glimpse, he realized that even a mere outer disciple could be so arrogant, which showed that the Lingyun Sect was no good either.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have discovered a peerless genius!]
Just as Wang Feng shook his head, intending to leave with Great Demon Xuan Sha and Yao Yue, a clear, cold voice rang in his mind, causing Wang Feng to shudder and a look of confusion to appear on his face.
"System, where is the peerless genius?" Wang Feng looked around. Apart from the two people in the courtyard, there were only the three of them. Could it be that one of the two people in the courtyard was a peerless genius?
[Ding! This peerless genius is none other than Li Hei, a menial disciple of the Lingyun Sect!]
The cold, clear voice that echoed in his mind made Wang Feng's eyes flash with a sharp light. He stopped in his tracks and looked abruptly at Li Hei, who was being whipped, a look of astonishment on his face.
Is this a peerless genius?
No matter how Wang Feng looked at it, he couldn't see anything unusual about Li Hei. How could such a peerless genius be bullied like this by a mere outer disciple of the Lingyun Sect?
"System, why is Li Hei called a peerless genius?" Wang Feng asked in his heart.
[Ding! Investigating Li Hei's background will cost 1,000 sect points!]
Hearing the cold, clear voice in his mind, Wang Feng's lips twitched. Damn it, this system is getting more and more shady.
"Investigate!" Wang Feng gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
Being recognized by the system as a peerless genius means he must be extraordinary. A mere thousand sect points is nothing. As long as we can bring him into the sect, everything will be restored!
It should be noted that even someone like Ling Feiwu could not be recognized as a peerless genius by the system.
One can imagine how difficult it is to reach the level of a peerless genius as described by the system. And now that one has appeared in front of him, how could Wang Feng possibly give up?
But he needed to understand why Li Hei was a peerless genius. He couldn't see anything unusual about Li Hei. Moreover, Li Hei's lack of reaction to such humiliation revealed his character.
If someone lacks the right character, even if they are exceptionally talented, Wang Feng will not accept them.
His sect didn't want to be turned into a mess by ungrateful bastards or villains.
[Ding, Li Hei's original name was Li Changgong. He was a Peak-stage Profound Venerable Realm expert. After his accidental death, a wisp of his remnant soul merged with a supreme treasure, allowing him to be reborn as the current Li Hei.
The reason why he did not fight back despite being so humiliated was: Firstly, to hide the secret of his reincarnation and not to let it come to light and attract the attention of powerful people who might discover his secret.
Secondly, does the host really think that Li Hei will not fight back? As a reincarnated Profound Venerable Realm, no matter how much he wants to hide, he will not allow himself to be bullied.
Anyone who has bullied Li Hei will mysteriously disappear the next day, and the entire Lingyun Sect will not even notice.]
The explanation that echoed in his mind made Wang Feng shudder. He glanced at Li Hei meaningfully. Damn it, he was still too green. You can't judge a book by its cover.
He only saw Li Hei being humiliated without fighting back, but he didn't see the ruthlessness behind Li Hei.
At this moment, Wang Feng was also extremely surprised. He never expected that Li Hei in front of him was actually a reincarnation of a Peak-stage Profound Venerable Realm expert.
That was a Peak-stage Profound Venerable Realm expert! The Shining Sun Empire was so powerful, but in front of such an expert, it was like an ant, easily destroyed.
Moreover, after the system's explanation, Li Hei's temperament is very much in line with Wang Feng's personality. In order to keep his secret, Li Hei, who was once a powerful figure at the Peak-stage Profound Venerable Realm, was humiliated by an outer disciple who was like an ant.
He did not fight back and let the humiliation happen, waiting to kill the humiliator later in order to hide his secret.
Wang Feng greatly admired this patient yet ruthless nature.
[Ding! After Li Hei's reincarnation, his remnant soul fused with a peerless treasure, causing his aptitude to surge once again, surpassing his aptitude before reincarnation. Only one year after Li Hei's remnant soul awakened and fused, he has already broken through to the Entry-Phase Realm!]
The cold, clear voice that echoed in his mind again made Wang Feng's eyes flash with a terrifying light. As expected of a former Peak-stage Profound Venerable Realm expert, even he had not been able to detect Li Hei's true cultivation level.
If it weren't for the system's detection, he would have really thought that Li Hei was just a mere Foundation Building Realm cultivator.
With the cultivation of the Enlightenment Realm, his strength is even more terrifying than the strongest in the Lingyun Sect. Yet he can still be so patient. Such a person is truly terrifying. He is indeed worthy of being a former Peak-stage Profound Venerable Realm expert.
Li Hei, who once possessed the terrifying cultivation of the Peak-stage Profound Venerable Realm, has now experienced another surge in talent. His future is unpredictable, truly deserving of the title of peerless genius bestowed upon him by the system.
At this moment, Wang Feng had made up his mind to bring Li Hei under his wing. Only his sect could accommodate this hidden dragon, Li Hei.
Thinking of this, Wang Feng did not hesitate and led Great Demon Xuan Sha and Yao Yue directly into the courtyard!
"Who are you?"
The young man who was whipping Li Hei frowned when he saw Wang Feng and the other two. He shouted loudly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he trembled and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be in a daze.
That stunningly beautiful figure filled the heart of this outer disciple of the Lingyun Sect at that moment. He felt as if he had seen the most beautiful being in the world, and his soul was completely captivated.
Wang Feng ignored the shouts of the outer disciple of Lingyun Sect, walked straight up to Li Hei, looked down at the huddled Li Hei, and said indifferently, "Come with me!"
These soft words rang in Li Hei's ears, causing him to suddenly look up and shudder.
Who is this person? Even with my imperial power, I cannot find out any information about him.
Thinking of this, Li Hei did not answer Wang Feng's question. He only glanced at Wang Feng before quickly lowering his head and continuing to curl up, his expression revealing endless fear.
"Stop pretending. I know where you come from. Come with me, and I'll make sure you're safe!"
The indifferent voice that rang out again made Li Hei tremble. He suddenly looked up at Wang Feng, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. His previous look of fear vanished in an instant, and an inexplicable aura emanated from his whole body, just like a peerless ferocious beast that had suddenly awakened.
The sharp aura made Great Demon Xuan Sha and Yao Yue, who were standing next to Wang Feng, tense up and look at Li Hei, their eyes flashing with a sharp light.
However, Li Hei's aura vanished in an instant before he looked at Wang Feng. His eyes were as deep as black holes, captivating and awe-inspiring.
"What right do you have?"
A voice came from Li Hei's mouth. At this moment, Li Hei was in a sorry state, covered in blood, but his transcendent temperament was very moving.
"Just because I know your background, Li Changgong!" Upon hearing Li Hei's words, Wang Feng's lips curled into a half-smile as he spoke.
Boom!
As soon as Wang Feng finished speaking, an incredibly terrifying aura burst forth from Li Hei, crushing towards Wang Feng. This terrifying power, though seemingly overwhelming and enveloping the entire world, was only directed at Wang Feng. No one else felt this terrifying power!
However, in no time, Li Hei's pupils shrank. Wang Feng actually withstood his power without any reaction, still looking calm and composed.
"Good!"
Li Hei gave Wang Feng a deep look and nodded. He didn't know who Wang Feng was, but the fact that Wang Feng could withstand the trace of Profound Venerable Realm's power that he exuded and knew his background was enough for Li Hei to follow Wang Feng on this journey.
If Li Hei doesn't figure out Wang Feng's purpose towards him, he'll probably be restless and unable to eat or sleep.
"Do you want to solve this yourself, or will our sect help you?" Wang Feng glanced at the Lingyun Sect outer disciple who was staring blankly at Yaoyue, and asked Li Hei.
Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, Li Hei remained silent. With a swift movement, he appeared in front of the outer disciple of the Lingyun Sect and lifted him up with one hand.
"Li...Li Hei, you...how dare you!"
The outer disciple who was captured by Li Hei turned red in the face and struggled frantically, but no matter how he struggled, he was firmly held in Li Hei's hand.
Creak!
A fierce glint flashed in Li Hei's eyes. Then, with a forceful movement, a crisp sound rang out in the courtyard. The head of the outer disciple of Lingyun Sect slumped limply, and with a thud, his body was thrown to the ground by Li Hei.
Wang Feng glanced at Li Hei meaningfully, said nothing, and turned to leave with Yao Yue and Great Demon Xuan Sha.
Since the system hadn't given any notification yet, it meant that Li Hei hadn't truly joined his Divine Immortal Sect. It seemed that he would need to use some methods to bring this reincarnated person into the the sect!
