I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 263 Li Yi

“How dare you!?”

When they saw Li Xiang’s miserable appearance, the Li clansmen couldn’t help themselves. If they let Zhou Feng continue like this, the Li Clan would really lose face.

A Li Elder who was hiding in the shadows finally jumped out.

He was a skeletal-like old man with fluttering clothes, a white beard, and white hair.

His arrival temporarily suppressed Zhou Feng’s avatar.

‘Divine Ability realm? He should be an initial-stage Divine Ability cultivator…’

When this old man appeared, Zhou Feng’s attention was instantly diverted.

This old man was in the Divine Ability realm, but the oppressive feeling that he emitted was not as terrifying as the Divine Ability experts that Zhou Feng had encountered previously. This is probably because his strength had increased, and his avatar had undergone its first transformation.

In fact, the Li Clan had sent Li Xiang to look for trouble with Li Rong to test Zhou Feng.

After all, Zhou Feng was the successor of the Human Emperor. He had a special identity.

There was a legend throughout the agesevery successor of the Human Emperor had the possibility to obtain the first Human Emperor’s secret treasure.

It was said that the first Human Emperor had hidden a treasure trove with all the items he had collected before his death.

The so-called secret treasure was naturally not worth mentioning to some truly ancient clans.

That was because the truly valuable items had been divided up long ago. The remaining items were not of interest to those ancient forces at all.

However, the Li Clan was interested.

Although the Li Clan seemed to be very prosperous here, this was only a border city in the Southern Border.

Not to mention the Li Clan, even the City Lord’s mansion could not resist the temptation of the Human Emperor’s secret treasure.

Logically, many people observed Zhou Feng from the shadows. It was precisely because of this situation that the Li Clan had sent an Elder.

Under normal circumstances, this Elder would have never appeared, but he could no longer tolerate this situation.

‘Divine Ability realm… I haven’t fought with a Divine Ability cultivator yet!’

Zhou Feng glanced at Li Yi while his aura was still suppressing Li Xiang. His face remained calm.

Obviously, Li Yi did not scare Zhou Feng.

So what if he was a Divine Ability expert? Would he dare to make a move in Heavenly Star City?

Technically, Zhou Feng had not made a move here.

Li Xiang had been provoking from the beginning, and he did not use physical means to attack her.

Although Li Yi was a Divine Ability expert, it would be a feat to defeat Zhou Feng quickly.

That was especially so as they were in Heavenly Star City, where one would have to weigh their actions carefully before doing anything

“Junior, that’s enough! Don’t force me to bully the weak!”

Li Yi frowned, his face betraying a hint of dissatisfaction.

From his point of view, he had already given Zhou Feng face.

However, Zhou Feng did not seem to know what was good for him. After his arrival, Zhou Feng was still as calm as ever.

Who gave him the courage to do this?

He was facing a Divine Ability expert! He was a Li Elder, yet there wasn’t the slightest change in Zhou Feng’s actions!?

He really didn’t know what was good for him!

Li Yi had heard rumors pertaining to Zhou Feng. Everyone called him either a madman or a lunatic, and they said he acted based on his circumstances and his needs.

Today, Li Yi witnessed for himself that these rumors were true.

Zhou Feng looked at Li Yi and said calmly, “Following your logic, the strong can bully the weak at will, right? Well, she is a weakling.”

In this world, laws and such were only the rules set by the strong.

The difference in individual strength was too great, after all.

Therefore, if a weakling recklessly mocked a strong person, it was equivalent to courting death.

In other words, Li Xiang was courting death. If she hadn’t provoked him, Zhou Feng wouldn’t have made a move at all.

Such an explanation was very compatible with everyone’s worldview.

A weakling actually dared to provoke a powerhouse. This was completely self-inflicted.

“Also, I’m clearly the victim. This person deliberately bumped into me just now. I suspect that she was trying to do something to me.”

In order to help Li Rong, Zhou Feng, who would stay silent most of the time, also displayed outstanding eloquence.

He would soon leave, so it was possible he would never see Li Rong again.

And in order to help him, Li Rong had to bear a lot of pressure on the clan side.

That was why he wanted to help Li Rong as much as possible before he left.

Zhou Feng would let everyone know that Li Rong was not easy to bully.

Li Rong had a strong backer now. If Li Rong was wronged, he would naturally take revenge.

“Oh? Is that so? Do you know that she is a member of the Li Clan? Do you know what you are doing right now?”

The dissatisfaction on Li Yi’s face had already turned into anger, and he immediately lowered his voice.

“Also, you are not allowed to make a move in the inner city. Are you aware of this? I am doing this for your own good! The city guards should be here soon!”

Li Yi was already a little angry at Zhou Feng’s accusation. This junior’s ability to twist the truth was amazing.

Moreover, he was still so arrogant even under such circumstances.

“The Li Clan? I know. But what does this have to do with her calling Li Rong and me adulterers?

“Also, I didn’t make a move. I was just cultivating. I’ve never heard that people are not allowed to cultivate in Heavenly Star City!”

Zhou Feng’s expression didn’t change as he spoke in a serious manner.

Such attitude! Such tone!

He rendered the onlookers speechless.

“This is really tough! That’s an Elder of the Li Clan!”

“To think he could spout nonsense in such a serious manner! Coupled with this face, this is really…”

“So ruthless! I just don’t know how it will end for him.”

Seeing that Zhou Feng wasn’t willing to back down even half a step and wasn’t mincing his words, Li Yi instantly laughed out of anger.

In Heavenly Star City, no one had ever been able to disregard the Li Clan’s might like this.

The Li Clan was an extremely traditional aristocratic clan. The clansmen had their pride and wouldn’t attack people who weren’t on the same level. However, they placed great importance on the clan’s reputation and might.

Zhou Feng was trampling on the Li Clan’s prestige right now.

But even so, Li Yi didn’t plan to attack. He couldn’t afford to lose face by dealing with a Purple Mansion junior.

Or rather, he could not sneak-attack him. There were so many people around. Even if Li Yi wanted to attack, he was worried about his clan’s reputation.

Although Li Yi couldn’t attack Zhou Feng, he could use other methods.

“Li Rong!”

Li Yi called out Li Rong’s name. His meaning was very simple; he wanted Li Rong to persuade Zhou Feng.

In essence, this matter could be considered as Zhou Feng standing up for Li Rong. If Li Rong opened her mouth, this matter might be quickly settled.

Now that so many people were watching, the Li Clan would become a joke if this charade didn’t come to an end.

‘Where are the city guards? Why has it been so long? Why haven’t they appeared? Don’t those dogs usually come quickly?’ Li Yi was already cursing the city guards in his heart.

Normally, no matter what happened in the inner city, the city guards would rush over at the first moment. Why were they so slow? Were they swallowing feces?
