The Man from Hell
chapter-58

“Please accept me as your disciple!”

When Xu Guang’s words echoed, the entire room became quiet.

Nobody could imagine that Xu Guang, who opposed Ye Feng the most, now wanted to be his disciple.

It would have seemed that they were just in the presence of a god, given their amazed looks.

Ye Feng refused him at once.

Right then, the old man attempted to persuade him, “Young friend, don’t refuse Dr. Xu so fast! He’s not only a doctor. He might be helpful to you in the future!”

‘Hmm?’

After hearing the old man’s suggestion, Ye Feng became shortly stunned as he realized that the old man referred to something else.

‘Does this doctor have any other special identity?’

Ye Feng became hesitant as he replied, “I don’t accept anyone as my disciple; I only accept people to be my slaves! Therefore, I don’t agree with it!”

After speaking, Ye Feng walked to his desk and picked up a pen before scribbling something down on a piece of paper. Closely after that, he gave the piece of paper to Dr. Xu, saying, “There’re 50 medicinal ingredients on the piece of paper. As long as you could help me collect 10 of them, I will accept you as my disciple and let you make further progress in your career!”

After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Dr. Xu was ecstatic as he instantly took the piece of paper. After taking a glance at it, he bowed deeply towards Ye Feng, “Trust me, master, I will definitely exert my full efforts to collect them!”

Ye Feng nodded.

As long as 10 of the 50 medicinal ingredients were collected, Ye Feng would be able to use them to make a potential-tapping pill. Nominally, he couldn’t tap one’s potential in a short period of time.

Although Ye Feng was powerful enough to sweep over one region, he faintly felt that earth was not as simple as it would seem, due to a few frightening and complicated scattered qis.

Therefore, he had to take precautions against those emergencies.

“Old man, your old injuries are accumulating day by day due to some secret method that you’re cultivating! Could you show it to me?”

After hearing Ye Feng’s request, the old man and all the other members of Bai Clan answered at once.

‘Right!’

When the old man was young, he was the high ranking soldier in the special forces of the country!

Although being retired, Bai Zhengguo was also a power.

Therefore, the Bai Clan’s foundation could be as stable as Mount Tai.

However, there were secrets of the Bai Clan which outsiders could never know. However, Ye Feng was worthy.

After taking a deep look at Ye Feng, the old man revealed a faint bitter smile as he said, “I really admire your sharp perception, young friend!”

After speaking, the old man waved his hand towards Bai Zhengguo, saying, “Zhengguo, go find our hereditary book!”

After hearing the order, Bai Zhengguo and Bai Gang’s faces became skeptical.

A greater part of the reason why Bai Clan could become a top clan in Jiangshi City lay in that hereditary book.

But now, the old man wanted to show it to Ye Feng!

…

Bai Zhengguo revealed a hesitant look as Bai Gang’s face turned red due to anxiety, shouting, “Grandpa, are you serious? That book is our hereditary rarity. How could you show it to an outsider?”

Bai Gang’s words won the favor of all the others of the Bai Clan present.

However, after hearing Bai Gang’s words, the old man became angry as he replied, “Audacious! Ye Feng is my savior! He’s not an outsider!”

After saying that, the old man glanced towards the members of Bai Clan icily as he fulminated, “Bear it in mind! Ye Feng is Bai Clan’s friend forever! Anyone of you should treat him as you treat the head of our clan! If anyone of you dare disrespect him even a bit, I will dislodge you from our clan!”

…

After hearing the old man’s words, the faces of all the members of Bai Clan turned dreadfully pale.

They found that the old man was greatly infuriated, and they knew not to go against him.

They had not imagined that the old man could treasure Ye Feng so much.

Bai Zhengguo then instantly left the room. He then came back with a yellowish ancient book before presenting it to Ye Feng.

Heavens and Earth Sutra!

At the sight of the book’s name, Ye Feng’s eyes shone as he opened it up.

“Young friend, this hereditary book was picked by my grand grandfather from an ancient tomb! It was written by Mr. Xu Zimo, a famous Kungfu master of the Ming Dynasty! With the help of this book, the Bai Clan has remained powerful for over 100 years!”

With pride, the old man asked Ye Feng, “Young friend, what do you think about it?”

After hearing the old man’s words, everyone in the room fixated onto Ye Feng as they all longed for Ye Feng’s opinion on the book.

However, Ye Feng’s short reply shocked everyone again!

“Nonsense! Rubbish! The author killed himself and his disciples because of this book! An idiot!”

‘What!’

After Ye Feng’s succinct reply, the room rumbled, as if it was struck by a lightning bolt.

Especially Xu Guang who was almost choked on his own saliva as he kept coughing heavily.

‘F*ck, this young master is really dauntless!’

‘He called our hereditary book rubbish! That… that’s too audacious.’

Xu Guang admired Ye Feng very much.

Bai Yi’s face turned slightly blue as she already knew that this jerk wouldn’t say anything good.

“Ahem, ahem… young friend, can you specify your reasoning?”

The old man was put on the spot. He thought Ye Feng would speak highly of his book; unexpectedly, Ye Feng didn’t say anything good at all.

After hearing the old man’s words, Ye Feng curled his lip as he explained, “According to my prediction, when your grand-grandfather died, he was younger than 50 years old, and he spurted out blood through his ears, eyes, mouth, and nose. Your grandfather wailed 3 days younger than 50 years old! Your father died younger than 50 years old, by 3 days. You could live so much longer but you’ve not cultivated this book correctly!”

…

After hearing Ye Feng’s words, the old man went blank.

Bai Zhengguo, Bai Gang, and Bai Yi were also petrified.

‘Correct!’

All that Ye Feng described was correct including the death symptoms and ages. It was as if he had seen it himself!

‘Im… impossible!’

“How… how did you know that?”

The old man questioned Ye Feng with an incredible look.

Bai Clan was a hereditarily powerful clan. The death of the heads of the Bai Clan was absolutely the top secrets of this clan. Besides members of Bai Clan, nobody else across Jiangshi City knew about it.

However, Ye Feng specified the death symptoms and ages of all the previous heads of Bai Clan.

“Are they because… because of this hereditary book?” The old man fixated onto the book with an incredible look.

After hearing his words, Ye Feng nodded as his face grew gloomier, saying, “This book is fatal! By practicing it, the cultivator’s qi and blood would retrograde while their bone turns to sand! The more time people spend cultivating it, the more miserable they would become! The clan which chooses to cultivate it would become infertile in 6 generations for sure!”

After his words, Ye Feng fixated onto Bai Gang with a deep sneer, “You must be infertile!”
