Chapter 73 Being Targeted by Major Families
"It seems to have stopped?"
As the commotion around them gradually subsided, the affected guests breathed a sigh of relief, slowly got up from the ground, and looked around in fear, afraid that it would happen again.
"The good thing is, I wonder which senior broke through here. The commotion is too frightening. In my opinion, he must be at least at the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Do you even need to tell me? This kind of commotion can't be considered an ordinary breakthrough!"
Everyone whispered amongst themselves, but dared not speak too loudly. After all, they all knew that a senior had broken through here, and if they accidentally said something wrong and offended him, their lives would be in danger.
The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they didn't demolish his little shop, otherwise, who would he complain to?
"Everyone, disperse. Don't crowd around here. What if the senior comes out and wants to try his skills? Who knows who will be the unlucky one?" the shopkeeper advised, hoping to settle the matter peacefully and let it go.
Upon hearing this, the people present were stunned for a moment, then scrambled to their feet and disappeared without a trace, not caring about anything else.
In no time, only Song Chaofeng and the innkeeper remained in the second-floor corridor. They glanced at each other and, realizing that the other had no intention of leaving, the innkeeper asked first, "Why isn't this guest leaving? Aren't you afraid of offending your senior?"
"Why don't you leave, innkeeper? My room is right here, where else can I go?"
"Anywhere is fine, just don't stay here. The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more eccentric their temper. There are some people we can't afford to offend."
His words sounded like he was trying to persuade Song Chaofeng, but it was obvious what the shopkeeper was up to. He simply wanted to get to know this senior who had just broken through to the next level. If the other party would be willing to do him a favor, wouldn't he be leaving himself another way out?
"Oh, I see. Then you'd better leave quickly, shopkeeper. I think this senior will be coming out soon, and our chat here might disturb him." Song Chaofeng retorted, leaving the shopkeeper speechless. His little scheme had been exposed, and he had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, the door to Tao Tao's room opened, and Song Chaofeng walked in with a worried look on his face. He saw Tao Tao happily stretching his shins, as if nothing had happened.
"Was it you who broke through just now?" Song Chaofeng could hardly believe that such a commotion was caused by Tao Tao. He wondered if all demon beast breakthroughs were this terrifying.
Tao Tao nodded and grinned, "Yeah, it was a bit difficult, I almost failed."
"Just a little?" Bai Yanjun raised an eyebrow.
This made Tao Tao scratch his head a little embarrassed. "It's more than that. If it weren't for A Yan, I probably wouldn't have been able to break through..."
"It's good that you've broken through, no matter what. Should I still call you senior now?" Song Chaofeng asked with a smile. He was happy to see Tao Tao break through, but before, Tao Tao was just an ignorant little beast. In the blink of an eye, he had become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It felt like a dream.
Tao Tao felt a little embarrassed when she heard that she had to call her "senior" and said in a low voice, "A senior brother will always be a senior brother. It's not appropriate to call him 'senior'."
"I was just kidding." Song Chaofeng affectionately ruffled her hair.
After successfully breaking through, Tao Tao needed to consolidate his foundation to prevent any accidents. During this period, Bai Yan was always there to protect him. Although he was called a protector, Bai Yan was actually just sitting on the side drinking tea. He would not take action unless Tao Tao's life was in danger.
There are very few people in this world who dare to have the True Dragon Ancestor personally protect them; Tao Tao is the first.
Three days later, Tao Tao was basically unharmed. With the improvement of her cultivation, her speed increased and her sensitivity became higher and higher. Both her hearing and eyesight improved, and she could see scenes hundreds of miles away whenever she wanted.
After solidifying his foundation, Tao Tao completely let loose and left the inn that very night. He wandered around Wude Town, and someone said: "I saw a flash of light and thought there was some rare treasure somewhere. But when I went over to check, there was nothing there. I thought I was just seeing things."
With Tao Tao's speed, apart from cultivators whose cultivation levels are several levels higher than hers, no one else could keep up with her, and naturally, they couldn't even see her tail.
After spending a few days in Wude Town, Song Chaofeng finished her business. She sold what she needed to sell and bought what she needed to buy, and she was almost done with her work. She also bought a mid-level storage bracelet, which was specially designed for storage. She visited all the shops, big and small, in Wude Town and bought everything that was food. Her extravagance was astonishing.
Seeing her spend so many spirit stones, Song Chaofeng could only sigh. He already had very little left, and now he was truly going back penniless.
On the return trip, they still traveled by carriage. After all, they had caused quite a stir in Wude Town, and if someone with ulterior motives investigated, it would be sooner or later to trace it back to Tao Tao. Keeping a low profile would save them a lot of trouble.
On the bus, Tao Tao patted the pet carrier and tried several times to establish contact with Tuan Tuan, only to find that the spiritual connection he had put inside was quickly severed.
Could something have happened? Tao Tao was worried and silently sent a telepathic message to Bai Yan to ask, only to receive a reply: "He's breaking through."
"Huh? Tuantuan broke through too? Should I help it?"
"You don't need it for now. When it's needed, it will naturally establish a connection with you."
Hearing this, Tao Tao felt relieved. As soon as she felt relieved, she realized that her stomach was empty, so she quickly escaped from her storage bracelet and began to wolf down a bunch of food.
But just as she put a piece of pastry in her mouth, the carriage suddenly stopped, causing her to swallow the whole pastry and nearly choke to death.
"What's going on?" Song Chaofeng asked the driver warily. He hadn't asked him to stop, so why did the car suddenly stop halfway through the journey?
The driver's trembling voice came from outside the carriage, "Gentlemen, this road is probably impassable..."
"How is this possible? Isn't this the Great Dao?"
Song Chaofeng's face immediately turned cold, and his tone sounded somewhat displeased. Just then, a man's voice came, "Junior Lin Ziyu of the Lin family respectfully welcomes Senior. I hope Senior will do me the honor of getting out of the car for a chat."
"The Lin family? Why are they here?" Song Chaofeng frowned upon hearing the name. First it was Xuan Yuanmingyue, and now Lin Ziyu. It's clear they're all here for Bai Yan. It seems this senior is indeed highly regarded by the various families.
Song Chaofeng glanced at Bai Yan, wondering what he was thinking, anticipating his answer. But Bai Yan sat there calmly, without saying a word, yet a powerful aura emanated from him, causing the group of people blocking the carriage to lose their footing and be thrown to the ground.
Even Lin Ziyu fared no better, tumbling off the magical artifact she was riding on and crashing to the ground with a thud, looking quite disheveled.
In this way, he truly witnessed the prowess of this senior.
