The fading glow of the sunset spilled over, bringing with it the hazy golden light of dusk. The ground was covered in a sheet of gold.
In the courtyard,
Yi Feng was playing chess with Wu.
"Brother Yi Feng, let me tell you, recently a few old men came to the sect and are living in the woods over there. They keep sneaking glances in our direction. You can tell they are up to no good," Wu said softly to Yi Feng.
"Yeah, I noticed them already," Yi Feng said seriously, chess piece in hand. "They definitely don't seem like good people."
"I feel like they are peeping toms. If you don't believe me, take a look," Wu whispered.
Hearing this,
Yi Feng's gaze casually glanced over.
Sure enough.
Three men and one woman were lingering not far away in a small grove of trees, pretending to stroll around while sneakily peering in this direction.
"Yep, according to our intel these past few days, this esteemed one is likely just here to experience life."
"That would explain why he joined a small sect like Qingniu Sect, to experience life and play among the humans."
"Luckily we haven't revealed our cultivation bases. This way we can pretend to be mortals and get close to Senior, making it easier to build rapport."
"Hmph, like hiding our cultivation bases matters in front of him. Does he not already know who we are?"
"Sure he knows, but playing dumb is different. If this Senior pretends not to know we are the Martial Emperor while posing as a mortal to entertain him, he may even take a liking to us."
"You make a good point..."
Various voices came from the four.
Their faces were also filled with yearning.
After all, they were so close now to Senior, just waiting for the right chance. The opportunity was within grasp.
Suddenly,
Jian Hengtian could no longer contain the aura bursting from his body.
"Damn."
"Can't keep it suppressed anymore."
Jian Hengtian cursed under his breath, wanting to leave but finding his path blocked by the cold gazes of the other three.
"Jian Hengtian, we need an explanation."
"That's right, we need an explanation!"
"If you don't make everything clear today, don't even think about leaving!"
The three demanded.
"Hehe..."
"Um..."
"Hahaha..."
Jian Hengtian rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and explained,
"Actually, it's not a big deal..."
"I just happened to pick up some scraps last time in Yi Xian Valley."
"Hehe, so I accidentally reached the tenth level, just like that."
Jian Hengtian's words instantly reminded the three of the snake soup lying in Yi Xian Valley.
Their eyes widened in shock, guts twisting in regret.
So that was it.
The reason Jian Hengtian advanced so quickly was because he secretly licked that snake soup off the ground.
The three were furious!
This was utterly unfair.
Three huge opportunities had slipped through their fingers!
"Jian Hengtian, you scoundrel. You privately kept such a fortunate encounter to yourself without telling us. You're really crafty."
"That's right. I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared, claiming you needed to use the bathroom. Turns out you went off to feast alone."
"And you lied saying it was your Sword Emperor's legacy. You really fooled us miserably!"
The more the three spoke, the angrier they became. The jealousy in their hearts changed the way they looked at Jian Hengtian.
Seeing the three men approach threateningly, Jian Hengtian shivered and retreated repeatedly.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't be rash!"
"Impulsiveness is the devil, remember we are mortals now..."
"Ah!"
Before he could finish, a wretched scream.
Jian Hengtian was kicked to the ground by the three, then bombarded by a flurry of fists.
Spitting out mud, bruised and swollen, Jian Hengtian flipped Yun Tianlong over and pinned him down.
"Damn it, I'm at the tenth level now. Don't think I'm afraid of you lot. I told you guys to drink earlier but you insisted on pretending. Now you blame me?"
Seeing Yun Tianlong subdued, Liu Guyi and Li Canghai immediately pounced at Jian Hengtian again.
In no time,
the four were tangled in an indistinguishable brawl, wrestling with ordinary mortal strength to avoid exposing their cultivation.
Wrestling stripped their clothes to rags. It was an unbearable sight.
"Tsk tsk."
"Three men and one woman. How bold."
Yi Feng watched the four tumbling in the distance and immediately frowned.
These people are always sneaking around my door. They probably covet my beauty and are plotting something malicious...
If they have their way with my pure and flawless body, I may be...
Thinking this,
Yi Feng couldn't help but shudder.
He vowed on the spot to keep his distance from these people.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body.
