This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 254 - 29: Sealing the Mountain, A Storm Approaches_2

Zhang Xintian spoke rapidly.

Li Fei's expression changed.

He grabbed Zhang Xintian and pulled him under a banyan tree by the roadside.

"Tell me everything you know in detail!"

Li Fei said with a stern gaze.

Zhang Xintian was stunned for a moment, as Li Fei's eyes and aura at that moment were strikingly similar to some of the very authoritative elders in his family when they became serious.

Without hesitation, he shared all that he knew:

Zhang Zongyang was attacked and killed, his body was sent to the Zhi Ge General Hospital for an 'autopsy', Garrison Commander Bian Jingru dispatched the City Guard Army and the Imperial Camp Army to seal off Iron Blade Mountain, and the people from the provincial city were about to send an investigation team down...

"I hope you can contact Shangguan Xiao...let her come back immediately!"

Zhang Xintian said to Li Fei with an anxious face.

"Is it you who wants her to come back, or is it someone else?"

Li Fei asked calmly.

"Before your grand-uncle passed away, he overruled everyone's opinions and used the family's vast network to directly appoint your martial aunt as the Chief of Zhi Ge Court in Xing City. It was clear that he was grooming her to be the next Family Head! Now that the grand-uncle has passed away unexpectedly, the Zhang Family is facing a crisis, and she should be returning to take charge! Moreover, the person who died is not just anyone; he's her father!"

Zhang Xintian said somewhat excitedly.

"Hmm."

Li Fei nodded calmly.

He didn't care at all about the next Family Head or such matters. For Shangguan Xiao to return at this time was simply diving into a storm, unaware of how many crisis and schemes she would encounter!

But Shangguan Xiao would find out about this sooner or later, and Zhang Xintian was right about one thing:

It was Shangguan Xiao's father who died. What reason would she have not to come back?

"I will pass on the message."

Li Fei said to Zhang Xintian.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xintian's expression eased. He looked at Li Fei and continued:

"Junior brother, the Zhang Family is now in a precarious situation. If possible, I hope you can also help us."

"Me?"

Li Fei chuckled, "I'm just a freshman at Wuda, what help could I offer?"

"You're being too modest, junior brother."

Zhang Xintian shook his head, "You're now known throughout Datong Prefecture City as an exceptional talent. Given Wuda's regard for you, if you're willing to speak for the Zhang Family at a critical moment, it could help us tide over this difficulty! And even without considering these identities, I've heard that you've overcome the 'mind barrier' and broken through to the Qi Change Middle Stage. A Refining Strength Martial Master is an important combat power anywhere!"

He stepped forward earnestly:

"Junior brother, if your martial aunt's relationship isn't enough to motivate you to help, we can talk about more practical things. The Zhang Family may be in difficulty now, but please believe that a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. My family has been rooted in Datong Prefecture for nearly a century, with profound foundations. As long as we can overcome this, there will be significant gratitude in return! Even now, if there's anything you desire, you can tell me directly."

Li Fei nodded, "I'll consider it."

Zhang Xintian's face brightened upon hearing this: "Good, I'll wait for your decision."

He then took out a slip of paper from his pocket, with a phone number written on it:

"Call me anytime if you decide."

"Okay."

Li Fei took the note, said goodbye to Zhang Xintian, and returned to his dormitory.

Back in his dormitory, he reflected in quiet contemplation for a while before calling Shangguan Xiao.

It took a moment for the call to connect:

"Hello?"

On the other end, Shangguan Xiao's voice sounded weary.

"Martial aunt, it's me."

"Xiao Fei, is something wrong?"

"About the matters in Datong Prefecture..."

"I already know."

Indeed, Shangguan Xiao had received the news faster than Li Fei.

Zhang Xintian had come to him particularly to win him over.

"Martial aunt, do you plan to come to the prefecture city?"

"Of course."

"When?"

Li Fei didn't try to persuade; he simply inquired about the timing.

Zhang Xintian representing the Zhang Family came to woo him because they wanted his help for the family.

But from beginning to end, he only cared about one person, Shangguan Xiao. If there was any way he could help, he would respect Shangguan Xiao's wishes.

"After all, I'm the Chief of Zhi Ge Court, and I can't just leave. The work handover will take some time, and I have to report and get approval from my superiors."

Shangguan Xiao's voice was cool and clear.

Li Fei could discern the sorrow in her voice.

"Do you need me to do anything?"

Li Fei asked directly.

"There's no need for now. This matter is too complicated; you shouldn't get involved lightly."

"Aunt Master, in this world, only you know my true strength. I want to tell you that I am now even stronger than when I killed Yu Hu! So it's not a momentary impulse, I can truly help you."

Li Fei stated calmly.

On the other end of the phone, a smile appeared on Shangguan Xiao's face.

Back then, Li Fei was already capable of engaging head-on with a Martial Artist at the Tao Foundation Stage – even if he couldn't defeat them, at least he could hold them off.

Nowadays, Li Fei had broken through to a new realm, and his true combat power could probably match that of a Tao Foundation Stage expert.

No one would dare call the combat power of someone at the Tao Foundation Stage superfluous!

This was unquestionably invaluable assistance.

"I know. If there really is a need, Aunt Master won't be polite with you."

Shangguan Xiao said.

"Good. Will teacher come?"

Li Fei asked a crucial question.

"Senior brother wanted to come, but I stopped him. His coming to Datong Prefecture City would only complicate matters further."

Shangguan Xiao explained.

Li Fei immediately thought of Xu Jing, that deranged killer, and understood Shangguan Xiao's concerns.

Indeed, if Hao Yi were to come to Datong Prefecture City, the situation could get even more difficult.

"Today, the City Guard Army and the Imperial Camp Army were dispatched and sealed the mountain gates of the Iron Blade Sect."

Li Fei suddenly said, "The Iron Blade Sect was previously suspected of colluding with spies from Mei Jia Country. It seems that your father's death might be related to spies from Western Countries. I now hold the identity of a secret inspector from the Inspection General Office. I can start an investigation first, gather some information."

"That would be great, Xiao Fei."

Shangguan Xiao did not put on airs, "But you must be careful. Those people dared to kill even the Helmsman of Zhi Ge General Hospital; they have reached a degree of utter madness!"

"Don't worry, Aunt Master. I know my limits, and besides, I'm not that easy to kill."

Li Fei assured her.

Afterward, they hung up the phone.

He immediately made another call.

This time, the call was quickly answered, and a man's voice came from the other end:

"Hello?"

"Liu San, it's me."

Li Fei changed his voice back to the deep tone of the Green-faced Ghost.

Currently, Liu San was the ostensible manager of Qingyuan City Management Company. Many things Li Fei would instruct Liu San to do remotely.

"Ghost Lord?"

Liu San was surprised, "What are your orders?"

"In a way that doesn't affect the company's operations, how many people can you spare at most now?"

Li Fei inquired.

Liu San had not received the news from Datong Prefecture City yet, so he found this question somewhat strange, but still answered without hesitation:

"If you need combat-ready personnel, we can spare a maximum of eleven Martial Artists at the Body Breaking Stage and two martial masters."

Previously, the combatants from Tiger Saber Gang either died or fled. After establishing Qingyuan City Management Company, they could only train their own Martial Artists while recruiting from the World.

Most of the Martial Artists they trained were still in the Embryo Cultivation Stage, so the available combat power was limited.

"Besides them, I can also provide you with about fifty gunmen. All of them have seen blood, killed, and are skilled shooters with combat experience,"

Liu San continued.

"Good."

Li Fei was quite satisfied with this number:

"In addition to the fighters, I also need some clever individuals capable of gathering information, prepare about fifty of these for me as well."

"No problem."

"Have these people come to the city in batches tonight, and smuggle the weapons and equipment through our channels as well."

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away."

Liu San did not ask why but promptly chose to execute the order.

Li Fei was pleased with this and finally asked:

"How much funds can I use now?"

...

I'm asking for your monthly ticket.
