Chapter 135 Robbery
The Xiao Clan has only a dozen or so Dou Sheng at most, but among the other ancient races, even the weakest Shi Clan and Ling Clan have at least a dozen Dou Sheng. The Gu Clan and Hun Clan, which are stronger among the ancient races, have at least sixty or seventy Dou Sheng, or even more! It is clear that the gap between the Xiao Clan and them is still very large.
Therefore, the existence of a Dou Sheng is of great help to the Xiao Clan. After all, the Xiao Clan is too large to be supported by Xiao Feng alone. If he has to take action against any slightly stronger opponent, what is the point of having such a large force?
If that's the case, it's unacceptable that when he's fighting the Soul Clan and still battling the Soul Emperor, the only Dou Sheng in the Xiao Clan who can participate in the battle will be these few. Before he and the Soul Emperor can even determine the victor, all the members of the Xiao Clan will be wiped out, leaving only him. If that really happens, what should he do?
Does he really have to fight against the entire Soul Clan, the Soul Emperor, and all the Soul Clan's Dou Sheng powerhouses all by himself? If that's the case, as long as his strength hasn't reached the Dou Di realm, there's only one outcome—death!
Xiao Feng did not expect the Xiao Clan's Dou Sheng to defeat the Soul Clan. He only hoped that they could restrain each other and then let him fight the Soul Emperor alone, rather than having him monopolize the clan!
However, a person's potential has its limits, which is an undeniable fact; otherwise, the number of Dou Sheng wouldn't be so small. It is precisely for this reason that the Xiao Clan has only produced a dozen or so Dou Sheng over the years. It is also for this reason that he turned his attention to Little Fairy Doctor and others, and to these outsiders.
If we recruit them all into the Xiao Clan and train them to the Dou Sheng realm, they will become a force to be reckoned with!

After a long while, the waiter seemed to have thought of something and said to Xiao Feng with a look of surprise, "Young master, I really haven't heard of this 'lone star of calamity' rumor, but there are rumors about dead people, and it seems quite a few have died, specifically in that green, green..."
Perhaps because there were too many rumors in his mind, the guy couldn't say for a moment exactly where it was.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead. "Green Willow, Green Willow Village! That's right, it's Green Willow Village!" "It's said they died of poisoning, quite a few people died!"
After saying that, he turned to Xiao Feng with concern and said, "Young master, you must know that I hear a lot of rumors here every day, but these are just rumors, and I can't be sure if they are true or not!" Clearly, this shopkeeper was worried that Xiao Feng would come after him if he confirmed that the information was false, so he gave Xiao Feng a heads-up in advance.
"It's alright. Just tell me exactly where Green Willow Village is located and how far it is from here."
"Green Willow Village is located southeast of Qingshan Town, at least twenty miles away from here. I've never been there myself, but I've heard some mercenaries who go hunting nearby mention it."
"It's alright, this is your reward." Xiao Feng ignored his words, tossed out another bag of gold coins, and left Wan Yao Zhai.
Looking at the bag of gold coins in his hand, and the gleaming gold coins before him, the shopkeeper's smile almost overflowed. Suddenly, he thought of something, broke free from his reverie about the gold coins, and ran out quickly, calling out to Xiao Feng's retreating figure, "Young master, take care!"
After Xiao Feng left, the mercenaries in the Wan Yao Zhai exchanged glances and then left one after another.
After leaving the city, they arrived at a relatively secluded place. Xiao Feng stopped and called out to the woods he had just passed through, "Come out, no need to hide anymore."
However, Xiao Feng's seemingly strange action actually received a response. A series of sounds rang out in the woods, and then five figures appeared behind him.
"Hey kid, I didn't expect you to be so sensible as to come to such a remote place. Do you know you're not going to live much longer and are looking for a better burial ground for yourself?" a muscular man said.
"Go away, fourth brother, don't scare this young master, hahahaha."
One of the mercenaries nudged the man who had spoken earlier and then said to Xiao Feng, "You should know our purpose very well, right? We're just after your money. If you obediently hand over all the money you have, we five brothers will spare your life! Otherwise, the scenery here isn't bad; it might be a good burial place for you!"
After saying that, he burst into laughter again, and the people around him followed suit.
In their eyes, Xiao Feng was just a naive young master who had just entered the world of business. Faced with this situation, he would naturally be terrified and obediently hand over all the money he had on him.
Even if Xiao Feng wanted to resist, there were five of them, all of them seasoned fighters, and the leader was even a nine-star fighter! They simply did not believe that Xiao Feng could escape under such circumstances.
Of course, the main reason they were so confident was that they couldn't sense any battle qi fluctuations from Xiao Feng. There were two possibilities for this: either Xiao Feng had no battle qi cultivation at all, or his strength far surpassed theirs, which was why they couldn't sense any battle qi fluctuations.
But is the latter possible? A Dou Shi expert around twenty years old? How is that possible! Even if you searched the entire Jia Ma Empire, you probably wouldn't be able to find such a genius. So there is only the first possibility. That's why they dared to attack Xiao Feng.
A young master who's fresh out of school and has no real skills? That's an easy task for them. How could they possibly give up such a tempting piece of meat?
Of course, they couldn't possibly do what they had told Xiao Feng before: let him go after he handed over his money.
"Are you kidding me? How could they do something so foolish? They understand the principle of killing to silence witnesses and eliminating any potential threats. Besides, Xiao Feng clearly looks like a young master from a powerful family. They robbed him and then let him go. If Xiao Feng successfully returns to his family, they can expect retaliation!"
