Chapter 622: Lin Fei's Guest
Lin Fei gazed at the gloomy sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "It seems a heavy rain is coming."
Leng Ying, however, was worried and asked, "Lin Fei, do you have a strategy to deal with this?"
Lin Fei sat on the sofa and calmly looked at Leng Ying, asking, "Can the Cloud Pavilion find detailed information on the Martial Kings coming to Huadu?"
Leng Ying nodded, "The Cloud Pavilion indeed found detailed information."
"There are three Martial Kings coming to Huadu this time. One is a Martial King who has been in seclusion deep in the mountains of southern China. His name is Song Tang, and because he is over a hundred years old, he is known as the Centenarian Martial King, but his strength is unknown. It is only known that he reached the level of Martial King ten years ago."
"The second Martial King is named Wen Shichang, a tycoon from the famous city of Buddha City in southern China. He has been cultivating martial arts in his mansion for years, known as the Tycoon Martial King. He also reached the level of Martial King ten years ago, but his current strength is unknown."
"The third Martial King is named Ao Shen, a Taoist priest from a century-old bustling temple. Among the Taoist experts in southern China, he is the only one who has reached the level of Martial King and is known as the Taoist Martial King."
"Although the three Martial Kings have almost been in seclusion, focusing on martial cultivation, they secretly dominate their respective regions. Now that they have all come to Huadu, Lin Fei, you alone might be outnumbered."
Lin Fei said, "It seems that this time Yue Chong of the Hidden Kill Sect is trying to use the three Martial Kings to eliminate me, so he can reap the benefits without effort."
"Indeed, Yue Chong wants to kill with a borrowed knife." Leng Ying agreed.
"Aren't the three Martial Kings coming for the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra'? If they find out that I don't have the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' at all, and that it's Yue Chong who wants to use them to kill me, they will naturally leave." Lin Fei said with a calm face.
Leng Ying frowned slightly, "But they might not believe what you say."
"The people from Hidden Kill will definitely spread enough information proving that you are Medical Saint Lin's disciple and possess the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra'. Since the three Martial Kings have come to Huadu, they obviously already believe this information."
Lin Fei couldn't deny that what Leng Ying said made sense.
"Leng Ying, can the Cloud Pavilion find out where Yue Chong is staying?" Lin Fei asked Leng Ying.
Leng Ying shook his head, "Yue Chong is extremely cunning and highly skilled in martial arts. It's difficult for the Cloud Pavilion people to track his specific whereabouts."
"But a fox will always show its tail. I believe Yue Chong will appear when the three Martial Kings arrive." Lin Fei's eyes sparkled with a radiant light.
"In the next few days, instruct the Cloud Pavilion people to place more observers around the villa. Once Yue Chong is discovered, inform me immediately."
"Yes, Lin Fei."
Leng Ying left.
The rain began to pour.
In another villa in Huadu, there was also someone standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the rain outside.
This person was the Hidden Kill Sect Leader, Yue Chong, dressed in a black cloak.
"It's raining..." Yue Chong murmured.
"Sect Leader, Song Tang, Wen Shichang, and Ao Shen have already arrived in Huadu." The Squad Leader Xuan, standing respectfully behind Yue Chong, reported.
Yue Chong nodded, "It's good that they have come. Place observers around Lin Fei's villa and monitor his every move."
"Yes, Sect Leader." Squad Leader Xuan responded.
Then, thinking of something, he said to Yue Chong, "Sect Leader, ever since Squad Leader Yue died, the people of the Five Great Families seem to have vanished overnight, as if protected by some mysterious force."
"The heads of the Five Great Families had close ties with Lin Zheng. We cannot let them remain, and their wealth is vast. Taking it could be crucial funds for expanding our power in southern China." Yue Chong said with a deep gaze.
"Yes, Sect Leader."

The next day, the weather hadn't completely cleared. The sky above Huadu was still shrouded in clouds, and a light rain began to fall early in the morning.
Lin Fei sat in the dining room, eating milk and bread.
Leng Ying sat to the side, looking solemn, "Lin Fei, the Cloud Pavilion people have already discovered that there are Hidden Kill members in many buildings around this villa."
Lin Fei remained calm, "Have they found Yue Chong?"
"They haven't found Yue Chong," Leng Ying replied.
"He's indeed an old fox," Lin Fei finished his milk after saying this and then ate the last piece of bread.
After finishing his meal, Lin Fei stood up and said to Leng Ying, "Get ready to welcome our guests. The three Martial Kings will likely arrive soon."
"Yes, Lin Fei."
Ding dong! Ding dong!~~~
At that moment, the doorbell outside the villa rang.
A slight smile appeared on Lin Fei's face, "Speak of the devil. He knows to ring the doorbell instead of barging in, so he has some manners. Go open the door!"
"Yes."
Leng Ying walked out of the villa, finding no security guards in the courtyard.
This was because Lin Fei, to avoid implicating the guards, had given them leave, telling them not to return to the villa for a few days.
Leng Ying came to the iron gate of the villa, where three elderly men stood outside.
One had a long silver beard, wearing a white Tang suit, his eyes bright and alert, holding a paper fan in hand, exuding a composed and laid-back aura.
"You must be Mr. Song, the Centenarian Martial King?" Leng Ying asked the silver-bearded elder.
The silver-bearded elder smiled faintly, "You're too kind. I am Song Tang."
Leng Ying looked at the other two elders, one wearing a dark red Tang suit, smiling kindly like Maitreya, and one wearing a Taoist robe, with a thin face and sparse beard.
"You must be Mr. Wen, the Tycoon Martial King, and Mr. Ao, the Taoist Martial King?" Leng Ying asked the two elders.
The smiling elder and the Taoist priest said, "Yes, we are Wen Shichang and Ao Shen."
Leng Ying opened the iron gate and said to the three Martial Kings, "You must be here to see Lin Fei, correct?"
The three Martial Kings nodded, "We heard that the disciple of the Medical Saint is here. We were once saved by the Medical Saint, so we have come to visit his disciple."
"Please, sirs." Leng Ying, of course, knew they were here for the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' but didn't mention it.
Song Tang, Wen Shichang, and Ao Shen entered the villa courtyard.
Leng Ying closed the iron gate.
They walked toward the villa.
Walking at the end, Leng Ying noticed the light rain falling from the sky. It hit the bodies of the three Martial Kings as if blocked by an invisible barrier, not reaching them at all.
This greatly surprised Leng Ying: The inner Qi of these Martial Kings was truly extraordinary.
The three Martial Kings walked in the drizzle, remaining dry without a trace of rainwater.
Leng Ying glanced at his clothes, which had become unevenly specked with rain—showing the vast gap between Grandmaster and Martial King strength.
Leng Ying and the three Martial Kings entered the villa.
Lin Fei, sitting on the sofa in the living room, stood up upon seeing the three Martial Kings enter, saying, "Welcome, sirs. Please, have a seat!"
Song Tang and the others exchanged glances: How did Lin Fei seem to know they would be visiting today?
But their expressions remained unchanged as they smiled and said, "Thank you, Young Master Lin."
Then, they sat down on the sofa.
