Chapter 1481 — Ancient Families

So as long as he passed this trial smoothly and placed in the top three, winning some heavenly treasures for the family, his position would be established. Though the ancient Feng family lacked no heavenly treasures, what he wanted was the honor, not the things themselves.
As for taking on a few lackeys to run errands for him, Feng Nitian was naturally glad to do so, and he did not mind sharing a bit of the credit with them!
In Feng Nitian's view, on the trial grounds he need only unleash the Heaven-Defying Art, and would the others not be his to slaughter as he pleased? He could wound whomever he wished, seize whomever's points he wished—taking first place in the trial would be as easy as turning over his hand!
"Every use of the Heaven-Defying Art consumes a great deal of true qi. It can't be used freely—maybe three or five times at most!" Feng Nitian waved his hand and said. "So don't think you can just sit back and reap the rewards!"
In truth, with his current ability he could use it three times at most; five was basically impossible. But Feng Nitian was simply boasting.
"That's already enough. When the time comes, we'll see who has the most points and rob them. If we can't beat them, we'll ask Brother Nitian to step in and use the Heaven-Defying Art on them!" Yu Shan said.
"That will do as well. For you, it's a kind of training too! Otherwise, if I just stepped in myself, the trial would lose all meaning." Feng Nitian said, putting on great airs.
"Of course, of course!" Zhao Qilei and Yu Shan nodded in agreement.
The four returned to the inn, only to see six people sitting in front of the inn door! Five of them were gathered around one person, seemingly meditating.
"What are they doing?" Feng Nitian frowned and asked, pointing in Zhang Naipao's direction.
"I don't know, Brother Nitian. Shall I go ask?" Yu Shan asked fawningly.
"Fine, go and ask!" Feng Nitian nodded. "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is richer than elsewhere, but that's no reason to cultivate out in the open like this. Wouldn't it be the same back in a room at the inn?"
"Hey, you lot, what are you doing?" With Feng Nitian backing him, Yu Shan's domineering nature showed itself as well; he was no longer as restrained as before.
Zhuang Niaopao and the others were focused on standing guard when someone suddenly strode up and shouted at them, giving them a great fright! Though they were furious inside, they feared disturbing Lord Pao's cultivation, so Zhuang Niaopao and the rest still said nothing.
"Damn it, I'm talking to you—are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?" Seeing that these people ignored him, Yu Shan flew into a rage. "Open your dog eyes and look: this before you is Brother Nitian of the ancient Feng family! Why don't you come over and kowtow?"
Seeing how arrogant the man before them was, the brothers Zhuang Niaopao and Zhuang Niaoqiang could not sit still any longer. They wanted to rise and teach a lesson to this creature who had disturbed Zhang Naipao's cultivation—but before they could get up, they heard his next words!
What? Someone from the ancient Feng family?
Zhuang Niaopao had been about to rise and strike, but now he hurriedly got up and explained, "My apologies. Lord Pao, the direct disciple of the ancient sect, the Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect, is cultivating here, and we few must stand guard for him!"
Though they had Zhang Naipao backing them, they likewise could not afford to offend anyone from an ancient family!
