Chapter 950: Chapter 947: There Is Only One Truth!

A group of eight people returned to Big Market City, and by then, the eastern sky was beginning to show the pale light of dawn; it was already morning.

Upon hearing the news that Zhouyan had been killed and that the Dayang Commerce Alliance was about to conquer the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, the Dayang Commerce Alliance guards immediately geared up and formed a formation, surging towards the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s residence.

The sound of the hundreds of guards’ heavy footsteps was like thunderous explosions, causing Big Market City to become completely bustling, with countless people speculating about what had happened, even thinking that it was a Demon Beast attacking the city, making them uneasy.

Upon reaching the Tianlin Mansion, where the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance was located, a number of its Martial Artists wanted to resist after hearing about Zhouyan and Elder Qi Yuan’s deaths. Luo Feng did not say much; he casually struck the ground, creating a deep pit four or five meters deep.

This strike intimidated all the Martial Artists of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, and they lost their will to resist. The few who resisted stubbornly were immediately killed, and the powerful Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance was conquered almost without bloodshed.

The subsequent matters became much simpler.

The Zhou Family clan was completely exiled, forbidden from stepping foot in Big Market City, under penalty of death.

As for the other experts, those who sincerely surrendered were absorbed by Yang Wanyi; those who refused to surrender were exiled alongside the Zhou Family clan.

After finishing all this, Yang Wanyi and Han Xuan began to tally the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s wealth and various industries, discussing the distribution of benefits.

Luo Feng had no interest in this, so he returned to the Dayang Commerce Alliance’s residence, preparing to cultivate again before leaving.

The battle with Elder Qi Yuan made him feel the gap in his cultivation; if he had been at the Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level today, the battle would not have been so strenuous.

"The realm is still too low. Faced with ordinary Martial Artists, it’s manageable, but when encountering experts like Elder Qi Yuan and Lu Xiao Yun, there’s simply no power to resist."

Luo Feng sighed quietly and suddenly remembered Elder Qi Yuan’s storage ring, taking it out.

Inside the storage ring, there were two to three hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, not few but seemed somewhat paltry for an expert like Elder Qi Yuan.

Luo Feng didn’t mind, as he had nearly ten million second-grade Yuan Stones himself.

Besides the previously remaining two hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, most of the remaining Yuan Stones came from the Shock Mountain Marquis, and the rest were Yuan Stones from auctioning the Five Elements Pills, which Yang Wanyi returned to him.

Originally, Luo Feng didn’t plan to accept this wealth; nearly ten million second-grade Yuan Stones was an astronomical figure for a Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist, and he was not lacking in wealth.

But Yang Wanyi insisted, so he had no choice but to accept.

In addition to Yuan Stones, the storage ring contained many pills and a few Secret Manuals, none of high grade. However, among them was a lower-grade earth-level cultivation technique named the Wolf Spirit Technique!

"A lower-grade earth-level cultivation technique! No wonder Elder Qi Yuan’s strength was so formidable; facing two mid-level Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level Martial Artists, he could still handle them with ease."

While an ordinary person would be ecstatic to obtain a lower-grade earth-level cultivation technique, Luo Feng’s expression remained very calm.

This Wolf Spirit Technique, despite being lower-grade earth level, was indeed excellent but compared to Divine Dragon Nine Changes, it was far inferior.

Luo Feng estimated that Divine Dragon Nine Changes was at least a supreme-grade earth-level cultivation technique, perhaps even higher, so he had no intention of switching to other cultivation techniques; it would be like buying the case and returning the pearl.

Rustling...

As he casually flipped through the Secret Manual, Luo Feng’s eyes suddenly brightened, stopping on the last page.

Secret Technique: Demon Form Technique, middle-grade earth-level secret technique!

"It’s a secret technique!"

Recalling Elder Qi Yuan’s terrifying power after transformation, Luo Feng’s eyes glimmered briefly, a flicker of excitement crossing his mind, and he immediately read carefully the introduction about Demon Form Technique.

A moment later, he gently exhaled, gazing at the Secret Manual in his hand with a complex expression.

Indeed, after cultivating the Demon Form Technique, one can transform with tremendous power.

But cultivating this secret technique is not simple.

To cultivate the Demon Form Technique, it requires the coordination with Demon Beast’s essence blood, refining the Demon Qi within for cultivation. Once cultivation begins, one can only use the same Demon Beast’s essence blood, and the power after transformation is closely related to the grade of the chosen Demon Beast.

Refining Demon Qi is extremely dangerous; a single moment of lost focus can lead to madness and death. However, if using this Wolf Spirit Technique to cultivate, one can avoid refining Demon Qi. When the cultivation technique reaches the fifth level, one can directly cultivate the secret technique, ultimately transforming into a sixth-level advanced Demon Beast—a Black Blood Frenzy Wolf, reducing the risk significantly. Elder Qi Yuan cultivated using this method.

Moreover, the Demon Form Technique has a side effect; after transformation, Demon Qi will corrode a person’s spirit. If one cannot withstand it, one’s spirit will ultimately collapse, and the person’s spirit will become truly beast-like, which led to Elder Qi Yuan’s demise.

"Should I learn it?"

Luo Feng repeatedly flipped through the Secret Manual in his hand, showing hesitation, but eventually decided to learn it.

Secret techniques are hard to come across, especially a middle-grade earth-level secret technique; its preciousness even surpasses that of upper-grade earth-level Martial Arts.

Although transformation seems somewhat terrifying, compared to life, it is insignificant.

As for the side effects of cultivating the Demon Form Technique, Luo Feng is not worried. With his Soul Power, ordinary Demon Qi really struggles to corrode him; besides, he has also comprehended the Grand Momentum capable of severing the intangible, directly annihilating the beast spirit within Demon Qi. It was for this reason that Luo Feng decided to cultivate this Demon Form Technique.

If the Demon Form Technique can be successfully cultivated, it would absolutely be a formidable trump card!

Of course, the Demon Form Technique cannot be cultivated yet.

His primary goal now is to enhance his cultivation and quickly breakthrough to the Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level, followed by the cultivation of Divine Dragon Nine Changes and the Grand Momentum, as these three are his foundation.

Furthermore, cultivating the Demon Form Technique requires Demon Beast essence blood to refine the Demon Qi within, and the chosen Demon Beast directly affects the power of the secret technique; randomly choosing a Demon Beast would be worse than not cultivating it.

Just like Elder Qi Yuan’s transformed Black Blood Frenzy Wolf, it’s merely a sixth-level advanced Demon Beast with limited power, unable to fully unleash the true power of an earth-level middle-grade secret technique.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Calming his mood, Luo Feng stored the Wolf Spirit Technique Secret Manual into the Washing Dragon Ring and began cultivating.

The last breakthrough touched a little on the threshold of the Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level, and now what he needs is accumulation, waiting for the moment to break out of his chrysalis.

Night fell.

Luo Feng was invited by Yang Wanyi to attend a banquet at the Tianlin Mansion.

The news of Zhouyan and Elder Qi Yuan’s deaths and the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s collapse had already spread throughout Big Market City.

The sudden change shocked countless minds.

Just days ago, the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance was still the leading commerce alliance, and Zhouyan was still the imposing first commerce alliance’s Family Head, feared by all.

Now, the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance is destroyed, and even the Family Head Zhouyan met a tragic end, shocking everyone.

Many were speculating about who killed Elder Qi Yuan and Zhouyan.

After all, Elder Qi Yuan was a mid-level Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level Martial Artist, and even the top master Old Qian in the Dayang Commerce Alliance’s residence might not have the strength to do it unless Yang Dingtian himself descended.

Of course, Yang Dingtian wouldn’t do such a thing that would diminish his status.

Yang Wanyi knew that Luo Feng disliked conflict, intentionally keeping this matter hidden, which led to mere speculation among the people, with no accurate answer and rumors swirling.

The most widespread version of the rumor was: Zhouyan coveted Yang Wanyi’s beauty and was set up in a banquet with Elder Qi Yuan, poisoning them, and finally was hacked to death by Luo Feng, leaving no trace of bone.

Upon hearing this rumor, Luo Feng was dumbfounded; the beginning was plausible, but what about the latter part?

Moreover, the version that most left Luo Feng speechless was:

Zhouyan lost the position of first commerce alliance, feeling guilty toward the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s martyrs, he slew himself in the wilderness, feeding the beasts in repentance. Elder Qi Yuan failed to protect his master, severing his own veins in death...

Perhaps the news of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s fall was too shocking, leading to countless rumors in just one day, but none suggested that it was Luo Feng who killed Zhouyan and Elder Qi Yuan.

After all, Luo Feng was merely at the pinnacle of the Spiritual Rotation Realm seventh level, incomparable to mid-level Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level Elder Qi Yuan.

And those who know the truth behind the matter, upon hearing these rumors, each smiled wryly.

These rumors were all incredibly outlandish, yet the real truth was even more unbelievable, so it was expected that no one could think of it.
