《East Emperor》


 C1 Second Young Master of the Lu Family

    "What?" This Emperor actually did not die?! "


    On the Tian Yuan Continent, outside the Qing Yun City, in a barren valley, a young man covered in blood suddenly jumped up from the ground.


    His dark eyes shone with a strange light.


    The dense black clouds and the thunder and lightning clouds in the sky instantly dissipated, restoring the tranquility.


    "Twelve Ancestral Magi, you never expected that this Emperor would actually come back from the dead, did you? And you twelve Ancestral Magi, I''m afraid you have already turned into dried up bones?" "Hahaha!"


    The youth spat out a mouthful of thunder, revealing a calm that was out of proportion to his age. Because at this moment, he was no longer the young man who had died, but the Demon Emperor of the Great Desolate Continent, the Emperor of the East!


    Back then, in the Nine Prefectures, during the Great Desolate War between Lich and the Eastern Emperor, when the Eastern Emperor used his secret art, he detonated the Heaven-Revolving Star Arcane Formation and perished together with the twelve Ancestral Mages. At this point, the two races gradually declined, allowing humans to be the protagonist of this world.


    As he recuperated, he coldly watched everything that happened in this world. He was angry and unwilling, but as time passed, this final strand of his soul was also about to disappear from this world.


    However, he did not expect that the moment he woke up, he would be reborn in this foreign land!


    He closed his eyes to feel his current situation. When his divine sense scanned the ancient bell deep within his sea of consciousness, he was overjoyed. The chaos bell, this treasure of the Upper Sky Realm had actually accompanied him to this strange place.


    That''s right, the chaos bell must have broken through space and brought him here.


    However, right now, the chaos clock had completely lost its connection with Tai Yi. It was just quietly floating in his Sea of Consciousness without the slightest movement.


    Ah!" "My head hurts!" The sharp pain in his head caused him to wake up from his reminiscence.


    "Lu Feng?" the second young master of the Lu Family in Greencloud City? "


    "Haha!" It''s a pity, that group of people did not recognize you, and thought that you were a piece of trash. However, you are truly a piece of trash, to think that you were framed and had peeked at a woman bathing.


    As he sat down to meditate, he began to organize the memories in his mind.


    It turned out that the owner of this body was called Lu Feng and he was a waste who did not learn anything. However, he was only considered trash by others because he could not cultivate mystical Qi, so he gave up on himself and became a naughty boy.


    He was even framed of sneaking a peek at Greencloud City''s number one genius, the young mistress of the Jiang family, Jiang Xin, and taking a bath.


    Facing the group of people from the Jiang Clan, who had already lost their hopes for Lu Feng, Lu Feng''s father, Lu Xiong, did not listen to Lu Feng''s explanation and heavily injured him with a single palm strike.


    Interesting, the women of this world valued chastity. Originally, Jiang Xin and the young city lord were engaged, but the city lord was enraged by Lu Feng''s gaze and was determined to end the engagement.


    There were only two ways to resolve this. The Lu family would have to marry the young mistress of the Jiang family, but Lu Feng could not cultivate. The young lady of the Jiang family was a peerless genius and she was on the right path.


    The second method was to kill Lu Feng, but Lu Feng was Lu Xiong''s son after all, so Lu Xiong naturally did not agree. In the end, after the two sides reached an agreement, the Jiang Clan''s Grand Elder threw the severely injured Lu Feng into the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    However, everyone knew that there were many demonic beasts in the Greencloud Mountain Range. Lu Feng might not be able to make it back in time!


    "They thought you couldn''t cultivate, but in reality, you are just a Heavenly Absolute Tyrant Body that''s hard to come by. Perhaps this world doesn''t have any Heavenly Tyrant Body cultivation technique, but you have met this emperor and this emperor is the Saint Emperor of the Demon race! This emperor''s path is to use strength to prove the truth! Even though you have a human body, this physique suits me perfectly.


    Rest assured, this emperor will use your body to clear out all your enemies, stepping onto the peak of this world, and let your name, Lu Feng, shake the world!


    "Hmph, is the Mysterious rank talent that impressive?"


    With that, the last bit of the young man''s anger disappeared. From now on, the Eastern Emperor was Lu Feng!


    "Aooo!"


    At that moment, there was a commotion in the forest.


    A tiger with green eyes as tall as two suddenly appeared in front of Lu Feng. It''s ferocious maw let out a roar and its red eyes stared at Lu Feng''s skinny body. Clearly, it had already treated Lu Feng as its prey.


    "Jade-eyed Giant Tiger!" Lu Feng''s facial expression changed slightly. This Jade-Eyed Tiger was a late-stage Xiantian realm demon beast and its strength was extremely terrifying. It was only slightly weaker than his own father, Lu Xiong.


    It seemed that the scent of blood on his body had attracted the attention of this tiger. He didn''t expect it to arrive so quickly.


    If Lu Feng was still the same Lu Feng from before, then he definitely wouldn''t be able to escape from this tiger this time. However, at this moment, Lu Feng was smiling ¡­


    "A mere demonic beast, how dare it act so impudently in front of this emperor!"


    Lu Feng''s eyes lit up. With a sudden shout, an indescribable aura burst out from his body.


    Just as the azure-eyed tiger was about to capture the youth in front of it and enjoy a meal that was not too sumptuous, it suddenly felt a great pressure pressing down on it. It was a trembling that came from the depths of its soul.


    Staring doubtfully at the young man before him, the Jade-Eyed Tiger glared at the young man before prostrating itself before the young man, expressing its submission.


    "Sigh, this body is still too weak!"


    Lu Feng''s face paled. Just now, he forcefully channeled all the power he had left in his body and used his Demon Emperor secret technique to brand the submission of this giant tiger in the depths of its soul. He had thoroughly subdued this giant tiger, however, the weakness of his body had almost exhausted him.


    Ignoring the wounds on his body, Lu Feng arrived in front of the giant tiger, stroked its head and smiled: "With your insignificant strength, you don''t have the qualifications to follow this emperor. Since you are the first living being this emperor has met in this world, this emperor will gift you with good fortune. From today onwards, you will follow this emperor.


    "Now, I will grant you the title of ''Eastern Emperor''. From now on, your name is the Jade-eyed Tiger General and you shall be known as Little Tiger."


    The green-eyed giant tiger let out a whimper, and resigned itself to its fate, lowering its large head.


    "Little Tiger, take me to the place where you live to have a look."


    Lu Feng laughed, turned around and jumped onto the tiger''s back. He then flew away with the help of the tiger.


    "Just you wait. Greencloud City, I will return. I will make all of you tremble!"


    With a gust of wind, Lu Feng and the Jade-Eyed Tiger had already disappeared, leaving behind only a few words, as if telling the story of a young man''s unwillingness and ambition.

 C2 Back to Town

    Three days later, Lu Feng appeared at the gates of Greencloud City.


    What was different from before was that Lu Feng''s eyes, under his messy hair, were flashing. On his shoulder sat a petite kitten.


    "Isn''t that the trash of the Lu family?"


    Seeing Lu Feng appear at the city gates, still dressed in his bloodstained clothes, with disheveled hair, dirty face, and tattered clothing, the passersby all began to point at him.


    "It''s really him? Didn''t he get thrown into the depths of the Azure Cloud Mountain? "


    "It really is the legacy of a disaster that lasts for a thousand years. The citizens of our Greencloud City are out of luck for not dying even like this!"


    "Who says it isn''t? "I heard that the Jiang Clan has released a rumor that they want to take this brat''s life."


    "You say that this Lu family''s trash is not bad, but we cannot afford to offend him. Now, he even dares to offend the Jiang family. He''s courting death!"


    "..."


    Lu Feng paid no heed to the words of the passersby as he walked into the city with his head held low.


    Three days ago, Lu Feng went to the cave where Xiao Hu was staying and used the medicinal materials there to refine a Small Revitalizing Pellet to treat his injuries.


    After refining the drug''s effects, Lu Feng used a secret technique to develop his absolute body.


    After he was done, he immediately headed back to the Greencloud City and appeared here.


    Just as Lu Feng was about to enter the city, a figure suddenly jumped out from the crowd and blocked his way.


    "Isn''t that Young Master Song Hao of the Song Clan?"


    As soon as he appeared, a passerby immediately recognized him. He was one of the Four Great Families of the Greencloud City, the young master of the Song Family, Song Hao.


    "Is Young Master Song going to call the Lu family trash?"


    "Young Master Song is at the middle Houtian realm, and his strength is at the level of the younger generation in Qingyun City. It would be easy for him to take care of that Lu Family''s trash, wouldn''t it?"


    "That''s right. I dare to bet that the trash of the Lu family won''t be able to take three blows from Young Master Song!"


    "This is great! Someone is finally here to clean up the trash. We are all blessed."


    "..."


    Amidst the chatter of the passersby, Song Hao stood proudly in front of Lu Feng and said, "Lu Feng, you dare to return to Greencloud City?"


    Towards Song Hao''s words, Lu Feng did not care about it at all, and continued to walk towards the city gate, as if Song Hao did not exist.


    For the first time, someone treated him like thin air. Song Hao was surprised for a moment, and then became angry:


    "Stop!"


    Lu Feng, this young master is speaking to you. You actually dare to pretend to be deaf and mute, do you still have this young master in your eyes? "


    At this time, Lu Feng had already arrived not too far away from Song Hao. He stopped his footsteps and said coldly: "Good dogs don''t block the way!"


    Being called a dog by Lu Feng, Song Hao became even angrier. His original complacent face turned into a venomous one as he glared at Lu Feng.


    "Lu Feng, you piece of trash. You actually ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, and dared to provoke me?


    "Looks like if I don''t teach you a lesson today, you won''t know that Prince Ma has three eyes!"


    "Prince Ma? When he saw this young master, he had to kneel down as well.


    Song Hao, who do you think you are? You block my path time and time again, I think you must be tired of living. " Lu Feng said with a look of disdain.


    Song Hao was so angry that he started laughing: "Hahaha! Lu Feng, I think you''ve been in the Greencloud Mountain Range for a few days now. Have you lost your mind?


    Lu Feng did not say anything, and just stared coldly at Song Hao.


    "Lu Feng, I think you don''t know how to repent. Fine, I''ll teach you a lesson today and completely eradicate this scourge for the Greencloud City!"


    Song Hao spoke mercifully for a while, then pulled out the great sword on his back and pointed it at Lu Feng.


    Speaking of which, Song Hao was also one of Jiang Xin''s suitors. Even though the Mayor''s son had snatched her away and set up a marriage contract, he didn''t give up. He still treated Jiang Xin as his goddess.


    A few days ago, Lu Feng had been spying on him, causing Jiang Xin''s reputation to go down the drain. Song Hao felt the same way and naturally hated Lu Feng to the core.


    Since he had coincidentally met Lu Feng on the way back, Song Hao naturally would not let go of this opportunity. According to his plan, he would use words to anger Lu Feng, force him to attack him, and then act as if he was not careful, and kill Lu Feng by mistake. Naturally, he would be able to escape from the wrath of the Lu Family, and not provoke the wrath of the two great families.


    Unfortunately, Lu Feng''s performance was completely different from before. His kind of arrogance had completely exceeded Song Hao''s expectations, and on the other hand, he had been angered half to death by Lu Feng in just a few words. Only then did he decide that he would not care about that and directly attack Lu Feng.


    Seeing the indifferent Lu Feng in front of him, Song Hao''s anger rose up from the bottom of his heart. He roared out and attacked Lu Feng with his sword.


    "What a sharp strike!"


    "Young master Song Hao is indeed a genius!"


    "Lu Family''s trash will die for sure!"


    "..."


    In comparison to the amazement of the passersby, in Lu Feng''s eyes, Song Hao''s sword strike was full of flaws and was incredibly slow.


    As he casually dodged to the side, Lu Feng dodged Song Hao''s flowery sword, his left hand moved forward seemingly unintentionally, the sleeves that were already in tatters, suddenly cracked, and a surge of Qi pierced through the shackles on his sleeves, landing on Song Hao''s knee.


    Song Hao did not expect Lu Feng to dodge his attack. Just as he was about to pull back his sword, his right knee suddenly went numb, and he fell to the ground.


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Song Hao, you sure are skilled in using such a move. It has truly broadened this young master''s horizons." Lu Feng turned around and looked at Song Hao who was lying on the ground, and said with a face full of ridicule.


    "Lu Feng, I want you dead!"


    Song Hao, who had lost face in front of so many people, jumped up from the ground, waved the treasure sword in his hand like a crazed demon, attacking towards Lu Feng.


    Shaking his head, Lu Feng lifted his leg and threw something directly at Song Hao''s face. However, he turned around and left.


    Behind him, Song Hao screamed and fell silent.


    The surrounding passersby all looked at Song Hao who was lying on the ground, they saw Song Hao''s face, with a grass shoe in front of his eyes, already unconscious.


    "When did the Lu family''s trash become so powerful?"


    "Is this still the trash from before?"


    "Crap, I just said something bad about that piece of trash. He wouldn''t be looking for an opportunity to take revenge on me, right?"


    "Trash was not a good person in the past, but now that they have developed their skills, wouldn''t that be even more dangerous? "Seems like I won''t be able to stay in this Greencloud City anymore."


    "You say that this Lu family is really amazing. Ten years ago, there was already an old man named Lu Kun. Now, this famous trash seems to have awakened as well. This Lu family is truly a talent!"


    "..."


    The passersby all dispersed, discussing with each other.


    Naturally, someone spread the news that Song Hao was knocked out by Lu Feng to the Song Family and helped send Song Hao back.


    Lu Feng, after three days, had once again become the topic of discussion for the citizens after their lunch break.

 C3 Evil Servant

    With one move, without even one move, Lu Feng had defeated Song Hao, who was at the middle Houtian realm, and successfully entered the Greencloud City, leaving behind a trail of broken glasses and a flurry of discussion.


    Not long after, Lu Feng arrived at the Lu mansion''s entrance.


    Speaking of the Lu Family, this was one of the few great families in the Greencloud City. In their generation of martial artists, there were many experts at the Xiantian realm and above.


    Even now, when the previous generation Patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Kun, was mentioned, he was still an existence that everyone revered.


    According to legend, a dozen years ago, there was a beast tide in the Greencloud Mountain Range outside the city. Countless demonic beasts rushed out of the mountains, frenziedly attacking the city.


    In order to protect their homeland, the four great families put forth all of their strength, and under the City Lord''s lead, they did everything they could to resist and kill the magical beasts charging at them.


    While both sides were entangled with each other, the elderly Lu Zhan led a team of Lu Family''s elites to form a death squadron and penetrate deep into the beast tide to kill the six Xiantian Full Circle realm beasts.


    The beast tide that had lost its leader slowly receded, leaving behind the mighty name of Old Master Lu.


    "..."


    The Lu family''s mansion was located on the main street of the Greencloud City, and it was located in an extremely good location.


    Looking at the majestic and imposing mansion that took up a lot of space, Lu Feng started walking towards the main door.


    "It''s the Second Young Master!" It''s really the second young master who''s returned! "


    The two guards at the Lu mansion entrance, upon seeing someone coming over, quickly went up to check. What they saw was Lu Feng''s familiar face, and they quickly greeted him respectfully.


    However, their words sounded good, but their actions didn''t keep up. Not only did they not greet Lu Feng, but on the contrary, there was a faint look of disdain in their eyes. They looked up and down Lu Feng''s body, as if mocking him for his current sorry state.


    Lu Feng had noticed the gazes of the guards, but he didn''t pay any attention to them. Instead, he walked through the two red lacquer doors.


    When Lu Feng returned to the Lu family, the news spread like wildfire through the entire Lu family.


    The entire Lu Family was in an uproar.


    "This guy still has the face to come back?" Causing our Lu Family to lose face in front of the other three families. "


    "Without the protection of the Lu family, he is nothing."


    "This second young master sure is lucky to be able to walk out from the depths of the mountains."


    "He''s so lucky, so many magical beasts didn''t kill him."


    "¡­ ¡­"


    All kinds of discussions were spread throughout the Lu family, but no one went to visit Lu Feng. It was as if everyone was trying to draw a clear line between them.


    At this moment, Lu Feng was sitting in his own yard, admiring it for a short three days. However, it was no longer the same glorious courtyard.


    "Second Young Master, this is great. You''ve finally returned. I knew that no matter how terrifying the Green Cloud Mountain Range is, it wouldn''t be able to do anything to you."


    Second Young Master, I''ll get you some clothes to change your clothes. A young girl, who was slightly younger than Lu Feng, was standing beside him, talking non-stop.


    This young girl was precisely the Lu Lului that Lu Feng had always been thinking about in his memories.


    Lu Hua Rui was 16 years old and Lu Feng was 1 year old. She had a oval face and big eyes. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, she still couldn''t conceal the essence of her fair skin and beautiful long legs.


    Ten years ago, Lu Feng met a little girl who was homeless on the streets and was kind enough to bring her back to the Lu mansion. Although she was a maid in name, in reality, Lu Feng had always treated her as his little sister.


    Lu Feng was leisurely sitting on his chair. There was a trace of a smile on his face as he watched the busy little girl.


    Suddenly, the little girl from before had grown into a girl now. With every movement she made, she had the charm of a young girl.


    Lu Feng thought to himself, it''s only 16, and it''s already so enticing. If it was another three to five years, it would probably be even more amazing.


    "Second Young Master, you should go take a bath first." Lu Hua Rui said as she handed some change of clothes to Lu Feng.


    Seeing Lu Rui''s somewhat rough hands, Lu Feng said with a bit of heartache, "Luoran, all these years, I''ve made you suffer."


    "Second Young Master, I''m not suffering. I''m much better than when I was wandering in the past. And I know that you will definitely come back. You won''t leave me behind."


    "Lush, don''t worry. Now that I''m back, I will make those people who bullied you pay the price.


    "Also, I saw a lot of things missing from the yard. Did those bastards take them away?" Lu Feng said emotionally as he held onto Lu Lushui''s small hand.


    "Second Young Master, after you have left, Miss Lu Zhen from the third house frequently instructs the third steward to come to your yard and take your things.


    "However, Young Master, the strength of the Third Manager is very high. Let''s not provoke him for now, shall we?" Lu Lushui said worriedly.


    "Humph!" Lu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Lush, don''t be afraid. Young master is no longer the trash of the past. I will make those who have bullied us pay the price."


    Seeing the confidence on Lu Feng''s face, Lu Wei Rui suddenly felt a sense of panic. She quickly turned around and walked out to prepare a bath for Lu Feng.


    Looking at the suddenly shy Lu Liru, Lu Feng couldn''t help but laugh out loud. The ten thousand years of depression that he had been stuck in seemed to have been swept away.


    While waiting for Lu Feng to take a bath, Lu Lului walked out to the yard by herself. She touched her face, which was still a little hot, and thought back to every bit of Lu Feng''s return. She couldn''t help but let out a sweet smile.


    "Clank!"


    Just as Loulan Slash was immersed in his bliss, Lu Feng''s yard was kicked open by someone. The five of them rushed in as if there was no one there.


    "Third steward, what are you doing?" Second Young Master is taking a bath right now, aren''t you afraid of disturbing him? " Seeing who it was, Lu Yueru quickly gathered her thoughts, and shouted at the person in a displeased tone.


    "Humph!" Little girl, don''t think that you have a backer just because that trash is back.


    I tell you, you can''t get out of my hands.


    "Obediently, follow me obediently. If you serve Lord Third well, you will naturally have your own benefits. Otherwise ¡­"


    The person who came was the steward of the third house, he had just entered the Xiantian realm and was usually addressed as the third steward by the servants. There were also those who flattered him by calling him the third master, the confidante of the third house''s eldest daughter, Lu Zhen.


    When Lu Feng was chased into the Green Cloud Mountain Range, it was precisely him who, together with Lu Zhen, forcibly took away many precious items from the Drifting Wind Courtyard, making things difficult for Lu Liru.


    "If not, what would you do?"


    Just as the third steward was staring at Lu Yueru with a lustful look, a voice rang out. It was Lu Feng. After washing up, he walked out.

 C4 Deceiving the Owner

    Hearing Lu Feng''s voice, the third steward was shocked and raised his head to look at Lu Feng.


    How was this the miserable Second Young Master from the legends?


    Lu Feng had changed into a tailored moon-white robe. He wore a white silk sash around his waist, giving him a handsome appearance. He stood tall, with a nose full of gall, and a face painted in red.


    Looking at Lu Feng''s appearance, the third steward''s heart was in turmoil. Damn, this is the Lu Feng that others were talking about? No matter how he looked at it, he was just an elegant young master in a turbid world. It was impossible to tell at all that he had returned from the Green Cloud Mountain.


    However, the third steward quickly understood. "Why do I care so much about you?" You, Lu Feng, have always been a piece of trash. Even if you had some dog shit luck and managed to escape from the Green Cloud Mountain, you are still the same piece of trash. I have already advanced into the Xiantian realm, who in the family doesn''t give me some face? Why should I be afraid of your reputation as Lu Feng?


    After making up his mind, the third steward coughed and said, "Second Young Master, you''re back?"


    However, Lu Feng did not reply him. Instead, he continued to look coldly at the Third Butler.


    Being stared at by Lu Feng, the Third Butler said, "Second Young Master, this little girl in your yard, Lu Yueru, has never been registered with the family.


    A few days ago, the clan head had ordered for those unregistered personnel to be cleaned up.


    So, Loulou Lu is also one of the cleanups this time. "


    "Scram!"


    Lu Feng didn''t let the third steward continue speaking. Instead, he coldly squeezed out a word from between his teeth.


    "You!"


    He couldn''t continue pretending. He pointed at Lu Feng and scolded: "Second Young Master, I respect your Lu Family''s Second Young Master''s identity, and I''m not afraid of you. Please speak with respect.


    Let me tell you this, this girl must leave the Lu Family today.


    Or it could be said that if you allow this girl to submit to me, I will naturally protect her.


    "If not, I''ll break her dog legs and sell her to Fragrance Court right now."


    Seeing the arrogant Third Steward, Lu Feng smiled coldly and said expressionlessly: "What if this young master says no?"


    The third steward sneered and said to Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, you are just relying on your identity as the Lu Family''s second young master.


    If you do not have this level of status, you are a complete piece of trash!


    Amongst the hundreds of thousands of people in this city, how many of them could you possibly hope to defeat?


    I''ll finish what I said today. This girl only has two paths, either to follow me or to break her legs and throw her out of the Lu Manor. There is no other path for her to take.


    If you, Lu Feng, are wise, then you better stay put. Otherwise, I will beat you up too. "


    Looking at the savage look on the third steward''s face, Lu Feng couldn''t help but laugh. Before this, he had really never seen this kind of evil servant who dared to behave atrociously on his master''s head before.


    Looking at Lu Feng''s mocking smile, one of the henchmen behind the third butler jumped out, pointed at Lu Feng''s nose and scolded him, "Lu Feng, don''t be too proud, San Ye is now a Xiantian master, against trash like you, one finger is enough to crush you.


    If you know what''s good for you, you can hand over your maid''s arms as soon as possible and even save your little life.


    If you dare to say a word of no, then next year will be the day of your master and his servant''s sacrifice. "


    As expected, it was a nest of snake rats. The subordinates of the third steward were just as arrogant as Lu Feng, not putting Lu Feng''s identity as the Young Master of the Lu Family in their eyes.


    Facing the arrogant Third Steward, Lu Feng did not move at all. He continued to stand there calmly, enjoying the scene in front of him.


    The third steward and his four lackeys were jumping up and down, yelling at each other. When they looked up, they saw Lu Feng standing there leisurely with a mocking expression on his face, as if he was looking at a clown.


    He felt that his self-esteem had been trampled by Lu Feng. If he could not teach Lu Feng a lesson, then in front of Lu Feng in the future, he would no longer have any face at all.


    "Words are useless. Lu Feng, I think that you, this trash, is determined to go against me."


    Hmph, I would like to see what your backing is.


    "You, go and greet the Second Young Master. Remember, you must be gentle in your actions. Our Second Young Master is extremely proud of himself."


    With that, the third steward pointed to one of his subordinates and spoke with a ferocious expression.


    When the subordinate heard this, he was immediately happy. This was a rare opportunity to personally teach the Lu Family''s Second Young Master a lesson. In the past, this was a dream come true.


    "San Ye, just watch. I''m not bragging when it comes to this kind of trash. It won''t be a problem if he only has one hand."


    That subordinate said in a complacent manner. He even pulled up his sleeves in an exaggerated manner, pointing towards the direction of Lu Feng. It seemed very exaggerated.


    "Hahaha!"


    The group of people led by the third steward were laughing out loud. Some of them even shouted, "Er Gouzi, beat him up. Don''t give any face to Lord San."


    After getting the encouragement of the people behind him, Er Gouzi became even more proud and swaggered his way in front of Lu Feng. He crossed his arms over his chest and said to Lu Feng in an unbridled manner, "Second Young Master, even though you are the Young Master of the Lu Manor, you should never have offended San Ye.


    Today, let me teach you a lesson and let you know that there are some people that you cannot afford to offend. "


    "Oh? Then is this young master something that you can afford to offend? " Lu Feng looked at Ergou in amusement.


    "Second Young Master, it''s not that I''m talking about you, but that you were born in the Lu Family and ate luxurious food without being in the mood to cultivate.


    To be honest, if it was you from before, with your identity as the second young master of the Lu family, I wouldn''t have dared to offend you.


    But now, since you''ve been sent to the Green Cloud Mountain, it means that the Patriarch has given up on you.


    On the other hand, our San Ye is a true Xiantian master. With him as my backer and a poor young master like you, I really can''t think of anything I can''t offend.


    "So, even if I beat you up to the point where you''re covered in injuries, no one in this house will say anything." Ergouzi seemed to be speaking sincerely to Lu Feng. His eyes were filled with endless ridicule, as if he was treating Lu Feng as a fool.


    Lu Feng laughed: "Since that''s the case, then there''s no need to waste any more words. This young master would like to see how you will teach this young master a lesson!"


    Seeing the look of contempt in Lu Feng''s eyes, a trace of viciousness flashed across Ergou-zi''s face. Without saying a word, he dashed in front of Lu Feng and sent a palm strike fiercely towards Lu Feng''s chest.

 C5 Lessons

    Although Lu Feng appeared to be calm and collected on the surface, he was already furious deep inside. In his previous life, as the great Celestial Emperor, he had never received repeated provocation from someone as insignificant as an ant.


    Seeing Er Gouzi''s palm coming at him, Lu Feng slipped and in a flash, he was behind ErGouzi. He used his elbow to smash into ErGouzi''s back.


    Ergouzi struck out with his palm full of pride, as far as he was concerned, with Lu Feng''s level of trash, he definitely wouldn''t be able to stop this powerful palm of his. It could be said that he easily defeated Lu Feng, and he even showed his face in front of the third steward.


    However, before he could land a hit, Ergou-zi was shocked to discover that Lu Feng was no longer in front of him.


    Where did Lu Feng go?


    Ergou-zi''s mind raced. Just as he wanted to retract his attack, he felt a powerful force hit him in the back of the heart and he couldn''t help but fly forward.


    "Wow!"


    Ergouzi, who had just landed on the ground, could no longer hold back the surging blood within his body. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had already suffered quite a bit of internal injuries.


    Before the third steward and his men could react, the battle was already over. Lu Feng was still standing there in high spirits. Ergou, who had been so awesome a moment ago, had already vomited blood and fell to the ground, heavily injured.


    "Lord Third, this Lu Feng seems a little different. Even Ergou is no match for him."


    "Yes, San Ye, Er Gouzi is about to enter the precelestial stage."


    "Master San, did you see it clearly?" How did trash defeat Ergou? "


    "..."


    The three servants by the third steward''s side started to talk at the same time. One had to know, their skills were about the same as Ergou, and even Ergou was not a match for Lu Feng. Didn''t that mean that Lu Feng had already entered the precelestial stage?


    "Shut up!"


    Hearing his men''s cackling, the third steward shouted impatiently.


    To be honest, in that split-second just now, the third steward didn''t see clearly how Lu Feng had attacked.


    However, the third steward had already spoken his big words and offended Lu Feng. It was impossible for him to turn back now.


    "Lu Feng, it seems that I''ve underestimated you. It seems that you''ve had some fortuitous encounters in the past few days and have made significant progress."


    Unfortunately, I have already entered the Upper Sky Realm. No matter how heaven defying you are, you are not my opponent.


    If you know what''s good for you, hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to me. Bring that little girl Lu Weigru beside you, I can still spare your life.


    Otherwise, I''ll let your blood splash all over five steps today! "


    The third steward had already decided to kill Lu Feng as he spoke sinisterly.


    "Humph!" For those guys who went up against me, do you think you''re fit to shout and shout in front of this young master? " Lu Feng disdainfully said.


    "Lu Feng, I think you won''t cry until you see the coffin.


    "If that''s the case, then it''s no wonder that Lord Third is so ruthless!"


    "Look at this!"


    The third steward let out a low growl, threw out two punches and attacked Lu Feng.


    The attacks of the Upper Sky warriors were different. Before they even got close, their palms had already hit each other.


    Looking at the imposing manner of the third steward, Lu Feng had a plan. This guy should have just entered the Xiantian realm and his foundation was not too stable, so he shouldn''t be a threat to him.


    Lu Feng dodged the attack from the steward and used the same trick as before and smashed his elbow on the steward''s back.


    Moreover, Lu Feng hated the arrogance of his third steward, and had used almost all of his strength.


    With a ''kacha'', the miserable groan of the third steward could be heard.


    It turned out that Lu Feng''s elbow had caught the Third Steward by surprise and directly broke two of his ribs. Lu Feng fell to the ground and was unable to get up anymore.


    At this time, a brick had appeared in Lu Feng''s hand. He took a step forward and arrived at the place where the third steward had landed. He smashed his face into the ground in a flurry of attacks.


    The third steward was already severely injured, but after receiving such a severe beating, he could no longer hold on and fainted on the spot.


    The third steward fainted and Lu Feng had no intention of stopping. He smashed the brick into the third steward''s crotch and smashed it into a bloody mess. Only then did he throw away the brick and stand up.


    The three servants who were still fine after seeing Lu Feng''s violent actions were completely terrified. In their eyes, the third steward was a god-like person that was only second to the elders.


    They did not expect that the third steward would not even be able to withstand a single blow from the famed trash, Lu Feng. He first vomited blood and then fell to the ground, before being smashed by a brick.


    On the other side, Lu Lushui was also shocked by Lu Feng''s actions. She opened her cute little mouth wide, looking at Lu Feng in disbelief.


    Lu Lailei had long known about the power of the Third Steward. She had never expected that the once acknowledged good-for-nothing Young Master had not lost his life after a trip to the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain. On the contrary, he had undergone a tremendous change.


    "Young Master, you have a cultivation base?" Tears welled up in Lu Hua Rui''s eyes. She ran over to Lu Feng with a face full of joy, grabbed Lu Feng''s hand and asked excitedly.


    "En!" Luofeng nodded at Liru and said, "Liru, the young master said that he won''t let you suffer with him in the future."


    "Young master, that''s great!" I knew it, the Young Master is definitely not trash like what they talk about! " Lu Wei Rui happily held onto Lu Feng''s arm, as if she didn''t care that the small mountain she had just developed would rub against it.


    Feeling the soft touch coming from his arm, Lu Feng''s heart skipped a beat. This was something he hadn''t experienced in tens of thousands of years.


    Reluctantly, Lu Feng released his arm from Lu Wei Rui''s bosom. He pointed at the three servants and arrogantly said, "The three of you, carry these two main criminals away. I will ask the Elder Hall for an explanation later.


    Also, go back and tell the people behind you how to take the things in my yard and move them back. It''s best not to let me find an excuse to go crazy, because that''s something you can''t afford.


    "Now, scram!"


    With the last sentence, Lu Feng used his own methods and exploded the soul of the three servants like a thunderclap.


    Upon hearing Lu Feng''s words, the three frightened servants looked at each other as if they had been granted amnesty. Then, they ran out of the yard in a sorry state, while simultaneously lifting up the unconscious Third Manager and Second Gou Zi who had fallen to the ground from their injuries.


    After leaving Lu Feng''s yard, the three servants did not dare to be slow and did not dare to find anyone in the Lu mansion to treat them. Instead, they anxiously carried the two injured people into the city to find a doctor.


    After walking out of the Lu Manor with great difficulty and finding the infirmary, the three servants felt as if they had escaped from death, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.


    No one would have expected that the trash in their eyes had not only obtained a high and mighty cultivation, the viciousness of his methods had surpassed their expectations as well.


    Especially when they saw the mutilated crotch of the third steward and saw that he had succeeded in turning into a eunuch, these servants all had lingering fears and lingering fears.


    The reason why Lu Feng injured the third steward so heavily was to tell everyone that he would naturally not show any mercy if he dared to offend Lu Feng''s prestige. Especially those who would cause trouble for themselves.

 C6 Demon Emperor Shuntian Formula

    On the other side, after the three stewards left in a sorry state, Lu Yueru pestered Lu Feng, asking him about his three days of experience. How could he have such a profound cultivation base?


    Towards this question, Lu Feng would definitely not tell the truth. If he told Lu Lili that he was the reincarnation of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, then wouldn''t that scare the little girl out of her wits?


    In the end, Lu Feng was left with no choice but to make up a lousy story about falling into a deep valley and meeting an otherworldly expert. Only then did he satisfy the little girl''s curiosity.


    What made Lu Feng curious was that the disturbance between him and the Third Butler wasn''t small, but the family seemed to have turned a blind eye to it. Even Lu Xiong, his nominal father, and Patriarch Lu did not take a look.


    After Lu Feng was sent into the Clear Sky Mountain Range, there was a problem with the Lu family''s property outside the city. Several farms had been attacked by the Magic Beasts, and Lu Xiong, as the Patriarch, had gone to take care of it with his men. As the Patriarch, Lu Xiong had not returned yet, so the matters of the Lu family had all been handed over to the Grand Elder, who was also Lu Feng''s Eldest Uncle, Lu Wei, to temporarily manage.


    From his memory, Lu Feng learned that the few great clans in Greencloud City were all about the same. The brothers of the current Patriarch had all become elders, while the previous generation Patriarch and members of the Elder Academy had all become Grand Elders. Lu Feng''s grandfather, Lu Kun, was now the leader of the Lu Family''s Grand Elders.


    After understanding all of this, Lu Feng no longer cared about those trivial matters anymore. Instead, he let Lu Wei Rui go to the head steward''s place and collect their monthly money. At the same time, he informed the head steward that Lu Wei Rui had officially become Lu Feng''s sister, receiving the same treatment as Lu Feng.


    The head steward was Lu Xiong''s confidant, although regretful that Lu Feng was born unable to cultivate, he was still rather good to Lu Feng. After hearing Lu Lili''s message, he immediately went through the paperwork for her family''s naturalization, allowing her to have a real identity.


    After dinner, Lu Feng sent Lu Lulong back to her room, while he himself sat on his bed and began to comprehend the magical effects of this body.


    In Lu Feng''s previous life, as the master of a demon clan and a Celestial Emperor, the spells he cultivated were incomparably powerful.


    However, now that he had become a human, he had to find a cultivation technique suitable for this body to enhance his own strength to the maximum.


    In his three days in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, Lu Feng had already entered the late Qi Refining stage after developing his absolute body''s potential. He was only one step away from Foundation Establishment and was about to attempt the path to the Aurous Core.


    With regards to this world''s cultivation system, Lu Feng now had a certain level of understanding. The Tian Yuan Continent was a world that revered martial arts; everyone was proud to cultivate it.


    In terms of realms, cultivators could be divided into: Body Tempering, Lesser Heaven, and Innate. Once one reached the Innate Realm, one would be able to practice martial arts and no longer be stuck at the "technique" realm.


    Above that were the four levels of the Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The cultivation of martial skills were even more profound. According to the legends, a Heaven Realm expert possessed the ability to move mountains and overturn the seas.


    Lu Feng''s father, Lu Xiong, was a peak Xiantian expert. One of his feet had already stepped into the yellow rank, waiting for the arrival of an opportunity.


    Currently, Lu Feng''s late stage Qi Refining was equivalent to late Houtian realm, but with the ability of Lu Feng, the terrifying physique brought about by his absolute tyrant body was comparable to that of a Xiantian master at full strength.


    This was also the reason why Lu Feng could easily defeat the third steward who had just entered the Xiantian realm.


    Lu Feng had only heard about the absolute body before, so he didn''t have a detailed understanding of it. Even though he had developed his potential, he didn''t think too much about his future plans.


    Now that he had finally calmed down, Lu Feng naturally had to understand the uses of this body.


    Using his spiritual sense to check the area, Lu Feng was surprised to find that the Heaven''s End Tyrant Body was indeed one of the strongest bodies in the world. Moreover, it was extremely compatible with the Demon Emperor''s Shuntian Art that he cultivated in his previous life.


    After which, Lu Feng circulated the Shuntian art of the Demon Emperor as he began to work together with the absolute body of the Demon Emperor to temper his own body.


    After cultivating for thirty-six cycles, Lu Feng stopped and stood up.


    Looking around to ensure that there was no one around, Lu Chong walked into the courtyard and performed a set of punching routine according to the instructions in his memory.


    Following the movements of the wind, the trees in the yard seemed to be attracted by the force of the air, constantly shaking. The leaves on the ground even surrounded the wind, dancing in the air.


    After a round of punches and kicks, Lu Feng stood quietly on the spot. The leaves around his body were neatly arranged into a circle.


    "This is worthy of being called the absolute tyrant body, this is indeed a top grade talent!


    I believe that under my Demon Emperor''s Shuntian Art, I''ll soon reach the point where I won''t be submerged by water or fire, and I won''t be affected by winter or summer. " Lu Feng muttered to himself as he felt the strength of his physical body.


    After returning to his room, Lu Feng sat down in a meditative pose once more. He had already made up his mind, since the Demon Emperor''s Shuntian art was so compatible with him, then he would choose to cultivate his cultivation technique for his previous life.


    After choosing his cultivation technique, Lu Feng knew what his future path was.


    After that, Lu Feng started to cultivate the Universe Starry Strikes Technique without hesitation.


    This cultivation technique was fundamentally different from the Shuntian, the Demon Emperor. Shuntian was using the true essence within his body to continuously temper his body and strengthen it. He himself didn''t have much effect on the growth of his true essence.


    As the name implied, the Circulatory Star Dou Technique used the power of the stars in the sky to continuously refine and absorb them, turning them into its own, in order to increase one''s cultivation base.


    Feeling the strand of star power entering his body, Lu Feng felt every cell in his body happily moaning and absorbing the essence. It was like a small stream flowing into his dantian, then flowing into his limbs and bones, finally entering into his Dantian and turning into his true essence to be stored.


    Feeling the surging true essence within his body, Lu Feng discovered that after such a long period of cultivation, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the late Qi Refining stage. He was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.


    "Looks like I need a Foundation Establishment Pill."


    As the second disciple of Dao Ancestor Hong Jun. Even though Lu Feng''s alchemy cultivation was not as proficient as Eldest Brother Pangu''s, Old Lord Taishang, he was still able to obtain a mere Foundation Establishment Pill.


    "Alright, tomorrow I''ll bring Lush to the materials shop in the city to see if I can find the ingredients for concocting pills."


    After making up his mind, Lu Feng sent Little Tiger outside to be his protector while he himself entered a deep meditative state to comprehend the magical effects of the absolute tyrant body.

 C7 Encircling Blockage

    The next morning, Lu Feng woke up from his meditation after a night of training.


    After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Lushui Lu came running over.


    Seeing the little kitten squatting at Lu Feng''s door, Lu Wei Rui walked over with interest. Ignoring Xiaohu''s grievances, she hugged it tightly and said to Lu Feng who had just heard the sound, "Second Young Master, where did you get this kitten from? It''s too cute! "


    Facing the delicate and innocent Lu Luru, Lu Feng felt his heart soften a little. He smiled and said, "Luru, didn''t I tell you yesterday? From yesterday, you, Lu Liru, will be my sister.


    So, you shouldn''t call me Second Young Master right now, you should call me Big Brother instead.


    "Come, let me hear you."


    Lu Ling''s face reddened. She looked at Lu Feng bashfully and said, "Second Young Master, this isn''t good, is it?"


    Lu Feng''s face turned serious, pretended to be unhappy, and said: "What''s wrong with that? Don''t you want to acknowledge me as your brother? "


    "Where did he come from?" Loulan Slash asked shyly.


    Lu Feng, upon seeing this, inwardly called out ''demoness''. However, his mouth was still in a serious manner as he said: "Then why aren''t you calling her?"


    "Big brother!" Lu Lushui called out in a low voice.


    "Sigh!" That''s right!


    Remember, you are my sister, Lu Feng.


    If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell your brother to take care of him. "


    Lu Feng laughed boldly.


    The two of them had been calling each other "brother and sister" so intimately, but it was too much for Little Tiger, who had been hugged by Lu Lailong. As a peak Xiantian level magical beast, when had they ever received such treatment?


    Especially because of Lu Liru''s shyness, she kept twisting her body around and around, causing Xiaohu to feel extremely uncomfortable.


    "Roar!"


    Little Tiger finally couldn''t take Lu Lili''s "abuse" anymore and let out an angry bellow.


    Even though Xiao Hu was in the form of a kitten, the cry was quite loud. It gave Lu Liru a fright. She could no longer hold Xiao Hu in her arms, and with a light push, she fell to the ground.


    Breaking away from the gentle embrace of a beautiful woman, Xiaohu felt his whole body relax as he took a big square step and arrived at the foot of Lu Feng''s pants. With a small leap, he jumped onto Lu Feng''s shoulder and obediently squatted there.


    Seeing that the tiger cub had run away, Loulan Lu ran towards him. She tugged on Lu Feng''s sleeve and asked, "Big brother, you still haven''t told me where this kitten came from?" Why is its voice so loud? "


    Laughing and scraping Lu Lili''s nose, Lu Feng said: "Lush, this is not a kitten.


    This was one of the top magical beasts in the Green Cloud Mountain, the Jade-Eyed Tiger.


    "Don''t just look at how cute he looks, he''s also at the peak Xiantian realm. Ordinary experts are no match for him."


    "Ah?" The Jade-Eyed Tiger? " Loulan Lu was surprised, "But shouldn''t the Jade-Eyed Tiger be so small? Could it be a young one? But that''s not right, it''s impossible for the baby to be at the peak of the Xiantian realm. "


    Lu Feng said, "Lush, this is an adult giant tiger. It was only transformed by me and learned the art of creating illusions. I didn''t want anyone else to know of his existence, so I turned into such a small figure."


    "Brother, are you so amazing now?"


    "No, brother, I want to cultivate as well. You have to teach me." Lu Lushui grabbed onto Lu Feng''s arm, swinging it back and forth as she spoke in a spoiled manner.


    "Alright, alright, alright. Hurry up and find a method that suits you. Don''t wander around, I''m about to faint." Lu Feng couldn''t enjoy that kind of gentleness, so he quickly begged for mercy.


    Lu Lushui couldn''t bear to let go of Lu Feng''s arm. She thought to herself, why am I so infatuated with my brother? However, his older brother''s aura was truly comfortable, causing him to unconsciously move closer to his side.


    Thinking of this, Lu Wei Rui''s face turned even redder. A 16 year old girl, she already knew how to be shy.


    "Big brother, I''ll go prepare breakfast for you." Loulou feels her cheeks grow hot, and she quickly finds an excuse to run away.


    "Mm, you can go. After breakfast, I''ll take you to the street to have a look. It seems like you haven''t been shopping for a long time, right?" Lu Feng said in a clear voice as he looked at Lu Hua Rui''s figure running far away.


    After eating breakfast, Lu Feng brought Lu Lushui out to the Greencloud City''s business district. He wanted to go there to look for the ingredients for refining pills.


    The sad Xiaohu was once again hugged by Lu Lului. Even though she knew the identity of the Jade-eyed Giant Tiger, she was still unable to resist his adorable appearance and bravely carried him over.


    Along the way, looking at the little girl skipping about, Lu Feng''s mood was also incomparably comfortable. It seemed that there was something he enjoyed in this world.


    What Lu Feng did not know was that as soon as he stepped out of the Lu mansion, his whereabouts had already been grasped by someone.


    At this moment, there were countless silhouettes converging towards the direction of Lu Feng from all directions.


    Walking out of a medicine store, Lu Feng brought along the lively little girl Lu Lushui with him and prepared to head towards the next store. Walking out of a medicine store, Lu Feng brought along the lively little girl Lu Lushui with him and prepared to head towards the next store.


    Right at that moment, Lu Feng felt something and stopped walking. His gaze shifted to the corner of the street.


    "Big brother, why aren''t you leaving?"


    Lu Liru, who had just taken a few steps forward, turned around to find Lu Feng when she saw that he had not caught up with her. At the corner of the street, a group of people rushed over and surrounded the two siblings.


    "Who are you people? Why are you surrounding us? " The little girl did not know these people, but she knew that they had come with ill intentions. As she approached Lu Feng, she shouted loudly.


    "Second Young Master Lu is really interested!"


    You just barely managed to survive the crisis in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, and now you''re bringing a little maid here to shop? "


    A soft and feminine voice rang out, and the crowd automatically opened up a path. A few people passed through the crowd, arriving in front of the brother and sister duo.


    "Mo Bufan, is that you?" Seeing the face of the approaching person, Lu Lului cried out in alarm.


    "Yes, that''s me!" The man said arrogantly.


    The conversation between the two made Lu Feng understand. In front of his eyes was a fan in his hand. He looked like a refined young master. He was the son of the City Lord, Mo Bufan. He was Jiang Xin''s fiance.


    Lu Feng looked coldly at Mo Bufan, but he did not pay any attention to the latter''s sarcastic look, and directly ignored his existence.


    Compared to Lu Feng''s calmness, Lu Wei Rui was actually more worried because she had already recognized him. The ones following behind Mo Fan were the children of several big families in the city, like the Yao Family''s civil and martial brothers, Song Hao of the Song Family.

 C8 Yangwei

    "Lu Feng, don''t think that just because you sneaked an attack on me yesterday that you were that powerful.


    Hurry up and kneel down to Young Master Mo. Perhaps if you are in a good mood, you might show mercy and let you die in a less painful way!


    "Hahaha!"


    Yesterday, Song Hao, who had been knocked unconscious by Lu Feng, was the first to jump out and point at Lu Feng.


    Towards this kind of defeated opponent, Lu Feng''s face didn''t even raise the corners of his eyes. He treated the other party like air and only looked at Mo Bufan''s performance in amusement.


    Seeing Lu Feng not saying a word, the group of people that Mo Feimu brought all let loose.


    "Could this trash have been scared silly? Why don''t you dare say another word? "


    "Humph!" Lu Feng is just a piece of trash. Even though he only grew a good set of skin, he was unable to cultivate! "


    "This kind of trash relies on his family background or else he would have died who knows how many times already!"


    "To our Young Master, his identity as the Lu Family''s Second Young Master is not good. Let''s see how he will die this time!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Listening to the discussions of his subordinates, Mo Fan did not blame them. Instead, he was overjoyed. With the discussions of these people, he had saved himself a lot of saliva. He believed that Lu Feng had been scared silly.


    Speaking of which, Mo Bufan was pretty unlucky. His fiancee was a genius, and everyone in the city praised her for her beauty.


    However, a freak like Lu Feng, who was unable to cultivate, had actually seen through his goddess-like fiancee to the point that he had no choice but to cancel the engagement. This was simply too shameful and humiliating.


    Yesterday, Mo Bufan had heard from someone that the Lu Clan''s trash had successfully escaped from the Greencloud Mountain Range and returned to Greencloud City in a sorry state.


    This was not good news for Mo Bufan.


    Although the Lu Clan and the Jiang Clan had reached an agreement to send Lu Feng into the depths of the Greencloud Mountain Range, allowing him to fend for himself, in Mo Feiman''s opinion, as long as Lu Feng did not die, his shame would never be washed away.


    Therefore, all of them were extremely displeased with the return of Lu Feng.


    It just so happened that the younger generation of the Four Great Families were on good terms with Mo Bufan, which had formed the power of the next generation with Mo Bufan as their leader. Mo Bufan was using this advantage to bring the disciples of the Yao and Song Families together, and when Lu Feng stepped out of the Lu Manor, he swore to take Lu Feng''s life.


    This morning, the spies arranged for him outside the Lu Residence had sent Mo Feinfan a message regarding Lu Feng''s departure.


    Mo Feiman immediately gathered his men and hurried over to the commercial street. He successfully stopped the Lu Feng siblings.


    Looking at how calm and relaxed Lu Feng was, Mo Wufan felt a surge of killing intent in his heart.


    "Lu Feng, don''t think that you can escape my wrath just by not saying anything.


    To tell you the truth, today is the day that you, Lu Feng, will die! " Mo Bufan retracted his fan, pointed at Lu Feng and cursed.


    Lu Feng sighed and said to Mo Fan, "Mo Bufan, I will only say this once. It''s up to you whether you believe me or not.


    That day, I was drunk and was framed by a traitor, so I showed up there, but that wasn''t my intention!


    Since the words have already been said, no matter what course of action you take, it will all be up to you! "


    "Hahaha!"


    Fan Yangtian laughed out loud.


    "Lu Feng, the situation has reached such a stage that the two of us will not rest until one of us dies!"


    Do you think I will let you off with just a few words of your sophistry?


    I heard that you ambushed Song Hao yesterday and defeated him.


    Finishing his sentence, Mo Bufan pounced on Lu Feng.


    "Please wait, Young Master Mo!"


    A loud shout stopped Mo Fan.


    Mo Fan turned his head and saw that the two of them were the Yao Family''s cultural relics brothers, Yao Wen and Yao Wu. The one who spoke was Yao Wen.


    Seeing Mo Bufan look at him with an unfriendly face, Yao Wen took a step forward and said, "Young Master Mo, it''s just a piece of trash killing me, why do you have to go through all this trouble?


    "I am not a talented brother, and am willing to help young master Mo kill this staff!"


    Then, Yao Wen called out to Yao Wu and went up to Lu Feng together, saying, "Lu Feng, us brothers have trained together since childhood, and have always fought together. If you''re scared, you can kill yourself. I''ll give you this chance."


    "Humph!" A villain who was the accomplice of a tiger!


    If you want to start, then hurry up. This young master still needs to go home and eat! " Lu Feng disdainfully said.


    "Sharp mouth!"


    "Lu Feng, I want to see if you can still be so arrogant later on!"


    Yao Wu shouted coldly as he struck out with his palm towards Lu Feng.


    Seeing that his little brother had made his move, Yao Wen was naturally unwilling to fall behind. He also sent a palm strike fiercely towards Lu Feng.


    Seeing the Yao brothers besieging Lu Feng, the surrounding crowd burst into cheers. In their opinion, with the Yao brothers'' middle Houtian realm cultivation, let alone two of them, even if they were alone, it was still not something that a piece of trash like Lu Feng could handle.


    In a split-second, the Yao brothers attacked Lu Feng.


    Without even looking at the domineering palms of the two brothers, Lu Feng waved his sleeves and faced the two Yao brothers.


    Seeing that Lu Feng did not dodge, the Yao brothers were overjoyed. Yesterday, when they heard from Song Hao that Lu Feng was extremely fast, the two of them were worried that they would not be able to subdue Lu Feng in one move.


    Using the True Essence in his body, the Yao Brothers'' imposing manner rose even higher, wanting to kill Lu Feng with their bare hands.


    It was too late. It was too soon!


    The Yao brothers'' palms that were filled with Zhen Yuan collided with Lu Feng''s palms.


    With a loud ''bang'', the wind created by the palm strike caused the clothes of the servants nearby to flutter.


    Ah!


    Ah!


    Two miserable shrieks sounded.


    They were the brothers of the Yao family. Under the contact of the dense Zhen Yuan of Lu Feng, they immediately retreated and both fell to the ground in front of Mo Bufan. Their faces were pale as paper and they could not get up again.


    Everyone was shocked. Had Lu Feng really had a fortuitous encounter? In just a few short days, why did it seem as though he was a completely different person? Even the famous Yao Family brothers of the younger generation in Greencloud City were not his match.


    He did not expect Lu Feng to be so powerful, but he had already said what he had just said. Moreover, he did not believe that Lu Feng could have such a high cultivation, not to mention that his Young Master Mo was at the late Houtian realm and was definitely one of the top young masters in the entire Greencloud City.


    "Lu Feng, die!"


    He waved the folding fan in his hand, and it was as if a phoenix had risen into the sky. The folding fan struck towards the center of Lu Feng''s brows.


    Lu Feng turned his body to the side and glanced at Mo Bufan.


    Seeing Lu Feng evading his move, Mo Bufan was even more enraged. He waved his right hand and the fan swept towards Lu Feng''s neck, using another move to sweep away his opponent.


    Lu Feng took a step back, dodging Mo Feiman''s hand, and said, "Mo Feimu, considering how difficult it is for you to cultivate, this young master will give you a chance. You should stop."


    After being dodged by Lu Feng for two moves, Mo Bufan''s eyes turned red as he stared at Lu Feng. The golden chicken nodded its head and swept towards Lu Feng. At the same time, his finger gently pressed on the handle of the fan as a needle silently shot towards Lu Feng''s throat.

 C9 Innate Expert

    Mo Feimu''s little trick naturally couldn''t be hidden from Lu Feng''s Spiritual Sense.


    Although Lu Feng''s soul was damaged, his soul was not something that could be underestimated when compared to the Houtian realm masters of this world.


    Seeing how Mo Fan refused to give up and continued to pressure him, he had even used a ruthless hidden weapon.


    Lu Feng was infuriated. The guilt he had originally held within his heart had completely vanished.


    Lu Feng raised his right hand and caught the needle with his index and middle fingers. At the same time, he moved his left palm towards Mo Fan''s palm.


    Seeing that Lu Feng was still admitting defeat, Mo Fan quickly retreated with his fan folded. Just as he was about to change his move, he suddenly let out a miserable "Ah" sound.


    It turned out that Lu Feng''s right hand was holding onto that thin needle. Seeing the blue color on it, he felt resentment in his heart. With a flick of his wrist, he gave the needle back its original color.


    Mo Fan did not expect that the needle he placed so much hope on would not be able to take away Lu Feng''s life. On the contrary, he had eaten the evil fruit and was not prepared for it. The needle pierced into his shoulder.


    After being hit by the needle, Mo Bufan quickly retreated. He did not forget to shout, "Lu Feng, you''re so despicable! How dare you use a Tempered Poison Hidden Weapon!"


    Seeing Mo Bufan''s shamelessness, Lu Feng''s heart burned with anger. He instantly appeared in front of Mo Bufan and struck him with his palm, "You should be clear on whose needle it is.


    Die! "


    Sensing Lu Feng''s powerful true essence, Mo Feimu''s entire body was suppressed. In addition to the poison on the Ox-Hair Needle, he no longer had the strength to fight back. He could only watch as Lu Feng''s palm came slashing over.


    "Junior, you dare!"


    Just as Lu Feng''s palm was about to hit Mo Fan''s chest, a cold snort sounded out. At the same time, a sharp force shot towards the back of Lu Feng''s head.


    Lu Feng had no choice but to let Mo Fan go, and dodged to the side.


    Having lost the threat of Lu Feng''s palm attack, Mo Bufan sat down on the ground, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and his heart was beating wildly.


    Mo Wufan knew that Lu Feng had wanted to kill him. If it wasn''t for the powerful cultivator behind him, he would have already lost his life.


    Then, Mo Feimu remembered the poison wounds on his body. He took out a porcelain bottle and took out a black coloured pill and swallowed it. Then, he took out the needle from his shoulder.


    Seeing Mo Bufan''s actions, the surrounding people understood. Just now, Mo Bufan must have been secretly plotting something, but in the end, Lu Feng did what he did to him, while Mo Bufan took advantage of the opportunity and plotted against Lu Feng.


    At this moment, Lu Feng had already returned to Lu Yueru''s side. He looked at the battlefield with an indifferent expression.


    At some point, there were two people in the field. One of them had a head full of white hair and a beard that gave him a sage-like appearance; the other, who was in his prime, was muscular and exuded a valiant aura.


    Lu Feng took a quick glance and had a plan in his mind. The heroic looking man should be at the early Xiantian realm. That white-bearded old man was actually a late Xiantian realm master.


    For two Xiantian experts to appear at the same time in such a remote place like Qingyun City, it was already an incredible feat.


    One had to know that not all of the elders of the Lu family had reached the Innate Realm.


    "Young people, you have to let them go and let them go!


    You''ve already won, why are you still attacking? " The brawny man arrogantly said to Lu Feng with an air of being able to teach a junior a lesson.


    "Master Luo, fourth uncle, this is the Lu family''s trash, Lu Feng. You don''t have to be polite with him. Just kill him. I will bear all the consequences."


    Without waiting for Lu Feng''s reply, Mo Feimu, who had just finished taking care of his injuries, came to the side of the two Xiantian masters and said with a resentful face.


    At this time, Mo Bufan hated Lu Feng to the bone. First, his head was dyed green, then he defeated the proud son of heaven, Mo Bufan. How could Mo Bufan, who had always considered himself a genius, endure this?


    Thus, when he saw the two elders that Mo Wuji had sent to protect him, Mo Bufan immediately ran up to them and started to give orders.


    That heroic looking muscular man was Mo Wuji''s younger brother, Mo Wuju. He was ranked fourth in the family, Mo Bufan''s fourth uncle, and the other one, Master Luo. He was originally a rogue cultivator with a profound cultivation, but after receiving a great favor from Mo Wuju, he volunteered to join the City Lord''s Mansion and become a minister.


    Hearing Mo Bufan''s words, Master Luo didn''t have any reaction, but Mo Wuji was furious.


    Towards Lu Feng, who had humiliated the City Lord''s Mansion, Mo Wuwei naturally did not have a good impression of him. Seeing that he was Lu Feng''s most beloved nephew today, Mo Wuwei was furious.


    "Good, good, good!


    So you are the little bastard of the Lu Family.


    You trash, you actually dare to provoke my City Lord''s Mansion again and again?


    It seems that if I don''t teach you a lesson today, you won''t know the depth of the heavens and the earth.


    Come, come, let''s cut the crap. Let me see what a trash like you can rely on! "


    As he said this, Mo Wuji pulled out his sword, raised it into the air, and faced the direction of Lu Feng with a face full of arrogance.


    "Humph!"


    What a city lord''s mansion that was full of righteousness and morality!


    Isn''t it all because of my cultivation that I''m bullying the weak? "


    Lu Feng naturally would not show weakness to the enemy, and mocked.


    "Junior, don''t try to talk too much. Watch my sword!"


    Mo Wuji was disgraced by Lu Feng''s words. Annoyed, he thrusted his sword at Lu Feng.


    Looking at Mo Wuji''s sword force, Lu Feng activated his Revolving Star Dou Technique, relying on his bare hands to fight Mo Wujie.


    Mo Wuxie was an early Xiantian realm master, but he was naturally unlike the trash that the Third Steward was just entering the Xiantian realm. As his long sword danced in the air, the faint sound of wind and thunder could be heard.


    This was Lu Feng''s first time fighting a true Xiantian master, so he had to be extra careful and fight against Mo Wuji.


    Seeing that Lu Feng was actually able to fight back and forth with him, Mo Wuji became anxious. With his status, it was already embarrassing enough for him to not care about his face and attack a junior.


    Seeing that dozens of attacks had passed and Lu Feng was still helpless, Mo Wuji panicked. This was simply throwing away one''s face. If he didn''t get Lu Feng, then there would be no place for him to hide his face.


    Pulling himself away, Mo Wuji retreated from the battle. Pointing his sword at Lu Feng, he said hatefully, "Lu Feng, experience the power of a battle technique!


    "Wind Assault!"


    So it turned out that when Mo Wuji used his True Fire, he actually needed to use a Xiantian master to practice this technique.


    As Mo Wuji''s true essence surged, countless wind blades danced around the long sword, quickly forming a huge wind cone.


    Seeing the wind awl form, Mo Wuji pushed off the ground with both his feet, gripped the sword hilt with both of his hands, and pounced towards Lu Feng.


    In a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the whistling sound of the wind blades cutting through the air.

 C10 Radix Polygoni Multiflori

    Is this a martial skill? There was indeed a bit of momentum, but unfortunately, the speed at which it was activated was too slow!


    Seeing Mo Wuji''s massive sword attack coming at him, Lu Feng thought in an indifferent manner.


    Seeing that the huge wind cone was about to reach him, Lu Feng made a mistake. He stood up abruptly, and with a pull of his hands, a flame appeared between his palms.


    "Ardent Flame Palm!"


    Along with the sound of Lu Feng''s exhalation, a palm formed from fire rushed towards the wind cone.


    "What?" Even trash like him knew a martial skill? Could it be that he entered the Innate Realm? "


    "Impossible!" There is no aura of a Xiantian master on Lu Wufei''s body at all. "


    "Yes, looking at his true essence, he shouldn''t have reached the Xiantian realm!"


    "Then how do you explain the move he used?"


    "Seems like Lu Feng has had quite a few fortuitous encounters in the Green Cloud Mountain Range!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Upon seeing this rare scene, the spectators were all moved. Such a magnificent sight had never appeared in Greencloud City in so many years.


    Seeing the flaming palm coming at him, even Mo Wuji was shocked. Was this guy a waste? Who had ever seen a trash who could use martial skills before reaching the Innate Realm? Even geniuses could not do it!


    No matter how strong that little bastard was, his Zhen Yuan would definitely be weaker than Mo Wuji''s. After all, Mo Wuji was only in the Houtian realm, and had yet to step into the Xiantian realm.


    At this moment, Mo Wuji once again circulated his primeval essence, using all his strength to attack Lu Feng.


    Unfortunately, Mo Wuji miscalculated.


    Lu Feng''s gentle flaming palm easily dispersed the wind cone, causing the wind blades to lose their target and shoot out in all directions.


    As for the flaming palm, it went straight for Mo Wuji''s body, burning fiercely.


    Ah!" Master Luo, save me! " With the raging fire in his body, Mo Wuxie started to howl miserably.


    One must know that in Lu Feng''s previous life, he was the Eastern Emperor''s son. Ten Golden Crows were his sons, and with one hand, he could control fire magic to his heart''s content. Even the Fire God Zhu Rong of the Twelve Ancestral Mages was inferior to him.


    This sudden change stunned everyone.


    Everyone stared dumbstruck at the constantly rolling Mo Wuji, who was rolling on the ground.


    Even Mo Fan didn''t believe that the human shaped flame in front of him was his fourth uncle who was previously in high spirits.


    The first person to react was Master Luo.


    In terms of Deus Luo, he was indeed a wise man. Similarly, he was able to tell that the flames on Mo Wuji''s body were controlled by Lu Feng.


    In order to extinguish the flames and save Mo Wuji, he had to first obtain Lu Feng, the source of the flames. Otherwise, he could only watch on helplessly as Mo Wuji was burnt to ashes.


    "Whirlwind Strike!"


    Master Luo quietly took out a long blade and spun it around like a windmill, charging towards Lu Feng. He wanted to deal a fatal blow to the man in front of him so that he could eliminate the enemy and also save Mo Wuxie who was being surrounded by raging flames.


    As a late stage Xiantian realm martial artist, Master Luo''s speed was very fast. Lu Feng was still standing there at a loss when he saw that the Whirlwind Slash was about to reach him.


    Master Luo was overjoyed. He had finally made a great contribution.


    "Roar!"


    A tiger''s roar suddenly sounded.


    Master Luo, who was about to reap Lu Feng''s life, suddenly felt a strong wind blowing towards him.


    Without any time to react, a giant tiger claw hacked at Master Luo''s head, splitting it into pieces like a watermelon, scattering red and white objects all over the ground.


    "Plop!"


    "Clank!"


    Two consecutive sounds rang out, and it was Master Luo''s headless corpse. It could no longer hold on to its strength and fell to the ground. The large saber in its hand also flew far away and landed on the ground with a loud bang.


    At this point, Mo Wuxie''s wails became softer and softer. Gradually, he stopped screaming, and his body did not roll around anymore. All that was left was a ball of fire on the ground that continued to burn, making light crackling sounds.


    What was going on?


    How did such a huge change suddenly happen?


    One of them had turned into dust while the other had turned into a headless corpse.


    Everyone focused their eyes and saw that at some point, a huge figure had appeared on the field. It was the Turquoise-Eyed Tiger''s true form.


    So it turned out that when Lu Feng and the Yao brothers were fighting, Xiao Hu had already escaped from Lu Wei Rui''s embrace. Xiao Hu sat on the ground, faithfully running over to Lu Feng''s side.


    At that time, Lu Hua Rui was concerned about the safety of Lu Feng, and did not care about Xiao Hu''s actions.


    When the two Xiantian masters appeared, Little Tiger was already prepared for battle.


    However, Lu Feng secretly transmitted his voice to Little Tiger, not allowing him to make a move in advance. Lu Feng wanted to experience the unique characteristics of a Xiantian master.


    Furthermore, Lu Feng told Xiao Hu that if someone tried to ambush him, he could retaliate with everything he had and intercept those who tried to ambush him.


    Therefore, seeing that Master Luo was about to kill Lu Feng, Xiao Hu immediately turned into his real body and crushed Master Luo''s head with one claw.


    Although Master Luo was at the late stage of the Innate realm, even if Xiao Hu, who was at the peak of the Innate realm, tried to sneak an attack, he still wouldn''t be able to block it.


    Just like this, with an ulterior motive, Lu Feng killed two experts from the City Lord''s Mansion in one fell swoop, completely bringing out his reputation.


    "It''s the Jade-Eyed Tiger!"


    Song Hao, who had not made a move until today, looked at Xiao Hu and shouted in surprise.


    "That''s right, it''s the Jade-Eyed Tiger. Why would such a magical beast suddenly appear in the city?" Yao Wen also said in surprise.


    "It''s him!" Mo Bufan pointed at Lu Feng and said with hatred, "It must be him. He colluded with the Magic Beasts to harm the two experts from my City Lord''s Mansion!"


    "Right, I noticed that the little girl had been hugging a kitten all this time. Now that the cat is gone, there''s an extra large green-eyed tiger."


    "Lu Feng must have used some trick to confuse us by transforming the Jade-Eyed Tiger into a cat." Yao Wu pointed to Loulan Slash.


    "The trash of the Lu family has pledged his allegiance to the demonic beasts of the Green Cloud Mountain Range!


    Like I said, how could a good-for-nothing like him be able to walk out of the mountains filled with magical beasts in just three days, and possess an extraordinary cultivation base?


    So it was a beast from the Greencloud Mountain Range that had defected to our city''s great enemy.


    Lu Feng, you colluded with the Magic Beasts to harm the experts of the City Lord''s Mansion, you are making the entire Greencloud City your enemy! " Mo Bufan pointed at Lu Feng and roared.


    "Right, Lu Feng, you''re dead for sure!" Song Hao followed behind Mo Fan and shouted.


    "Humph!" How funny!


    Don''t you know that there is such a thing as a beast?


    This young master doesn''t believe that there are no pets in the City Lord''s Mansion, Yao Family, and Song Family?


    What, I, Lu Feng, have become a public enemy of Greencloud City just because I took in a pet beast?


    You guys are just jealous of my Little Tiger''s strength!


    Hahaha!


    A bunch of villains! " Lu Feng scolded without any trace of politeness.


    "Come, Xiaohu, let''s go home!"


    Lu Feng called out to the majestic Xiaohu, then turned around and walked towards the Lu mansion while holding onto Lu Lushui''s hand. With the disturbance caused by these people, he had already lost the interest to continue shopping.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s call, Little Tiger quickly ran a few steps towards Lu Feng, turned back into his kitten form, and jumped onto Lu Feng''s shoulder, happily squatting there.

 C11 Origin

    Looking at the two siblings'' figures disappearing into the distance, Mo Feimu was the leader of the group. He stood dumbstruck on the spot with mixed feelings, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.


    Originally, from their point of view, trash like Lu Feng could be crushed with a single finger.


    Who knew that after a trip to the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, Lu Feng would experience a tremendous change. Not only did he have a terrifying cultivation base, but even his personality had changed from cowardly and wretched to his current domineering and arrogant attitude.


    What surprised them the most was that Lu Feng''s aura had not reached the Xiantian realm, but he could actually fight against an early Xiantian realm expert like Mo Wujie with ease. A battle strength stronger than his was extremely rare, even a genius with Xuan grade talent like Jiang Xin would find it hard to hold on for long under the hands of a Xiantian master at the peak of the Houtian realm.


    This time, Mo Feimu, who took the initiative to look for trouble, had suffered a huge loss. Not only had he been counter-attacked by Lu Feng, but even his own uncle and the family head had been killed by him. This was a huge blow to the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Mo Feimu looked at the direction where Lu Feng left and waved his hand. Then, he led his men and carried Master Luo''s headless body back to the City Lord''s Mansion.


    As for Song Hao and the Yao brothers, Mo Feimu no longer had the mood to care about them.


    And Lu Feng.


    The siblings happily walked towards the exit of the commercial street, chatting and laughing as they walked, as if nothing had happened.


    This was especially so for Lu Yueru; she had heard of the names of Mo Wuji and Master Luo. Both of them were famous experts in the City Lord''s Mansion, and they were almost on the same level as those in Greencloud City.


    But today, Mo Wuji was burnt to ashes by Lu Feng''s martial skill. Master Luo''s head was crushed by Little Tiger''s claw. The two of them had died an unimaginable death.


    This was truly out of Lu Liru''s expectations.


    She knew that her brother, Lu Feng, really loved her. Now that he was so powerful, not only had he broken away from his reputation as a trash, but in the future, he would definitely become another famous genius in Greencloud City.


    As for her, with such an older brother, she would no longer have to fear being bullied anymore. Not to mention servants like the third steward, even those aristocratic young masters would not be able to stand up in front of her in the future.


    "Big brother, how did you become so powerful?" Even a famous figure like Mo Wuji is not a match for you? "


    Lu Lushui asked as she walked forward, swinging Lu Feng''s arm.


    Lu Feng looked at the little girl lovingly and said, "Didn''t I tell you yesterday? I just accidentally fell down the cliff and met a powerful man.


    He told me that my physique is very special, and that it''s very difficult to cultivate true essence, and that my physique is called the Absolute Heaven Tyrant Body.


    However, once the Absolute Heaven Tyrant Body was developed, not only could it be cultivated quickly, it could also have a very powerful physical body. It was truly a dual internal and external cultivation method.


    Coincidentally, that senior knew how to develop the absolute body, so he helped me develop it.


    "Thus, I can cultivate it."


    Lu Wei Rui listened attentively to Lu Feng''s words. She wrinkled her cute eyebrows, deep in thought.


    After a long while, Lu Wei Rui said, "Big brother, you''ve only been in the Green Cloud Mountain for three days. No matter how fast your cultivation speed is, it''s impossible for you to have the skill you have now, right?"


    He pretended to be very serious as he said, "I am able to have this kind of power and also have to thank that senior for his help. He found out what happened to me and guessed that I was framed that day by someone with a high cultivation. I was secretly placed outside of Miss Jiang''s room, drunk to create the false impression that I was peeping.


    That person even purposely alerted Miss Jiang, who was bathing in the room, causing her to scream in fear. Then, he lured the servants of the Jiang Clan into capturing me.


    Senior thinks that that person must be harboring evil intentions in order to provoke the conflict between my Lu family, the Jiang family, and the City Lord''s Mansion to achieve his unspeakable goal.


    Furthermore, our Tian Yuan Continent has strict etiquette and discipline, but the mayor has already made the decision to cancel the engagement. This doesn''t make sense.


    He believed that the mayor might be involved in this matter.


    This is also the reason why I killed Mo Wuji and Master Luo today. I want to see, how exactly does Mo Wuji request for this City Lord to react?


    If Mo Wuji is flustered and exasperated and immediately sends someone to settle the score with me, then I can basically rule out the possibility of the City Lord Manor participating.


    And if Mo Wuji was able to temporarily bear with it, then this matter would most likely not be far from the mark.


    Moreover, since they could put down the lives of these two Upper Sky warriors, then their demands must be very big.


    In other words, there might be a conspiracy against our Lu Family behind this. "


    After all, she was only 16 years old and was born into poverty. Although she had followed Lu Feng later on, Lu Feng was just a playboy earlier on. He didn''t seem to be of much use to her.


    "Brother, you''ve told me so much, but you still haven''t told me where your cultivation came from?"


    This time, Loulan Slash directly grabbed onto Lu Feng''s arm, almost hanging onto Lu Feng''s shoulder as she asked in a spoiled manner.


    "You!"


    Lu Feng glanced at the little girl and said lovingly, "This power of mine was lost to me by that senior who knew that I was going back to Qingyun City to take revenge.


    If it wasn''t for the sacrifice of the old senior, how could I have reached the peak of the Houtian realm? "


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Lu Lulong couldn''t stop imagining that otherworldly expert''s appearance in her mind. With such magnanimity, that senior must be a person with an immortal aura, a kind-looking, amiable, and warm-hearted ¡­ And so on and so forth.


    Closing her eyes, Lu Yueru seemed to see a white-haired elder looking at her and Lu Feng lovingly.


    "Brother, is the old senior still in the Green Cloud Mountain?


    Why didn''t he come back with you? "


    After a while, Lu Lushui recovered from her reverie and spoke to Lu Feng in a charming voice.


    Lu Feng''s eyes were a little cloudy, and the solemnity on his face was replaced by grief. He said to Lu Yueru in a deep voice, "Lush, after that senior lost his power to me, he has already left."


    If he hadn''t met me, he might have been able to live for a while longer. But that old man, he used up all of his life just for me.


    Sigh! It''s all because of me dragging this old man down. "


    The grief on Lu Feng''s face wasn''t an act, but a thought from his past life. He was once the exalted Celestial Emperor who commanded the thousands of demons in the world.


    At this moment, Lu Feng, or perhaps too one, truly felt the taste of grief.

 C12 Street Encounters

    Perhaps because she felt Lu Feng''s sadness, Lu Lulong couldn''t help but tighten her grip on Lu Feng''s arm, saying gently, "Big brother, don''t be sad. Since senior has done this, it must be because of him.


    Moreover, now that you have accepted the power of the old senior, you are equivalent to the old senior''s disciple.


    As a disciple, you should carry forward the spirit of the old senior and spread the name of the old senior.


    Big brother, do your best!


    I believe that you will definitely make a great achievement. "


    "Hm!"


    "Lush, your brother will."


    Lu Feng said firmly as he faced Lu Loulan''s pretty face.


    "Oh yeah, big brother, I saw that you bought some medicinal materials today. What pill are you going to refine?"


    Lu Loulan suddenly remembered that she came out today. She seemed to have been visiting the herb shop all this time, so she asked Lu Feng about it.


    "That''s right, Lush. Among the items left behind by the senior, there is a secret manual for refining pills. I am going to follow the instructions and refine some pills that are useful for cultivation."


    Furthermore, there is also a mysterious medicinal pill written on it that allows people like you who have never cultivated before to step onto the path of cultivation after consuming it. "


    "Really? I can cultivate now? " Lu Wei Rui shouted happily.


    "Of course it''s true!


    "Well, are you happy?" Lu Feng said.


    "Happy, of course I''m happy.


    Big brother, you are so nice! "


    Lu Lushui leaned her face against Lu Feng''s shoulder and said with a blissful expression.


    Right at that moment, Lu Feng suddenly had a thought. He raised his head and looked in the other direction.


    At the entrance of a weapon shop, there was a girl brimming with heroic spirit looking at Lu Feng with resentment. The chill in her eyes could almost turn into ice.


    "Jiang Xin?"


    Lu Feng gasped.


    Right, the one who was staring at Lu Feng was the other victim of the peeping incident, the young mistress of the Jiang family, the one known as the number one genius in Greencloud City, the one with the Mysterious rank talent, Jiang Xin and the other young miss.


    Speaking of Jiang Xin, when she was bathing that day, she suddenly heard a sound outside the room, and the outline of a man appeared on the window. Although Jiang Xin was in the late Houtian realm, she couldn''t help but scream.


    In the end, when the guards and servants of the Jiang Clan arrived, they caught Lu Feng, who was outside the window, lying on the floor.


    Even though Lu Feng reeked of alcohol and looked a little drunk, his peeping was already an indisputable fact in front of everyone''s eyes.


    Jiang Xin, who came out in a hurry, and the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Xin''s father, a peak Xiantian expert, Jiang Tianxing. The father and daughter duo had come out in a hurry, planning to quietly cover up this matter.


    But who would have thought that in such a short period of time, the news of Lu Feng spying on Jiang Xin and being captured by the Jiang Clan had spread throughout the city at a terrifying speed.


    Two hours after the incident, the mayor sent out the envoy. Coming to the Jiang family late into the night, he brought along a daughter-in-law whom the mayor could not tolerate, and decided to end the engagement between Jiang Xin and the mayor''s son, Mo Bufan, another famous genius of Qingyun City.


    In other words, Jiang Xin had already been annulled by her husband before she even left the pavilion, and she had even received the infamy of being unfaithful.


    Jiang Xin had always been proud and arrogant, but this had been a real blow to her. It had made her feel as if the sky had fallen.


    Of course, Jiang Xin''s reputation as number one genius did not come for nothing. She quickly regained her composure, and for the first time in her life, she felt a deep sense of boredom and hatred for the manhood of the Tian Yuan Continent.


    According to Jiang Xin''s thoughts, since this matter had already happened and her reputation had been taken by surprise, she didn''t care about the reputation of the good-for-nothing Lu Feng.


    Furthermore, the Lu Clan that Lu Feng belonged to was also a famous cultivation clan in Greencloud City. Since the Jiang Clan had already hated the City Lord''s Mansion, there was no need for them to fall out with the Lu Clan anymore.


    However, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Xin''s father, Jiang Tianxing, felt sorry for his daughter. He was also a well-known figure in Greencloud City, so he could not take this lying down.


    Therefore, Jiang Tian ordered his men to hold Lu Feng hostage and go to the Lu Manor to demand an explanation.


    The Lu Family''s current Patriarch, Lu Xiong, was Lu Feng''s father and had only one son under his knee. Although Lu Feng could not cultivate because of his body, Lu Xiong believed that with the Lu Family''s power and influence, raising a piece of trash shouldn''t be a problem.


    As a result, Lu Xiong''s discipline towards Lu Feng was a bit negligent. He also doted on his son, and after a while, he developed Lu Feng''s domineering attitude and became a playboy.


    Of course, although Lu Xiong didn''t really care about Lu Feng, he had never taken away Lu Feng''s first-in-line inheritance. In the end, as a father, Lu Xiong still hoped that his son would do something in the future.


    However, Lu Xiong had never thought that his son would actually be bold enough to sneak into the Jiang family after drinking too much and peek at Jiang Xin taking a bath.


    It had to be known that the men and women of the Tian Yuan Continent were very strict. Unless they were close relatives or related, a single person was not allowed to have any close physical relations with them, let alone Lu Feng who could see her virginity naked.


    Faced with Jiang Tianlei, who had come looking for him, Lu Xiong''s heart was filled with rage.


    To be honest, although the Lu Family was one of the four major families in Greencloud City, they had to bear a lot of pressure, especially ten years ago, when the City Lord Mo Wujing broke through to the late stage of the Xiantian realm. The City Lord''s Mansion led by Mo Wusui had a huge rise in power.


    Especially in recent years, the Mayor''s mansion, which was engaged to the Jiang family, had tried its best to rope in the two families, Yao and Song, and had joined forces to suppress the Lu family.


    By this year, Lu Xiong was already overwhelmed by the feeling of not being able to take a single person for himself. Just when he was about to lose out to the City Lord''s Mansion, at this critical moment, a scandal erupted.


    Lu Xiong, who was worried about the life and death of his family, couldn''t hold it in any longer. In front of Jiang Tianlei, he struck Lu Feng hard in the chest, causing him to pass out on the spot.


    According to Lu Xiong''s thoughts, now that things had come to this point, he could be considered to have given an explanation to the Jiang Clan. This matter was about to come to an end.


    However, with Grand Elder Jiang Tiandong at their head, the Jiang Clan''s people were extremely dissatisfied with Lu Xiong''s punishment.


    In the end, under the pressure of the Jiang Clan, Lu Xiong had no choice but to compromise and agree to allow the Jiang Clan to send Lu Feng into the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, leaving him to fend for himself.


    However, as a father, Lu Xiong still proposed that if Lu Feng was lucky enough to escape from the Green Cloud Mountain, the Jiang Clan would no longer be able to meddle in this matter.


    Regarding this, the people from the Jiang Clan happily agreed. In their eyes, for a trash like Lu Feng, not to mention being heavily injured, he wouldn''t even be able to leave the Greencloud Mountain Range at his peak. The countless magical beasts there would eat him to the point where not even his bones would remain.

 C13 Theres a Taste in Your Heart

    After both sides came to an agreement, Jiang Tiandong personally sent Lu Feng into the Green Cloud Mountain Range and threw him into a valley filled with miasma.


    In fact, that palm from Lu Xiong had already taken over half of Lu Feng''s life. In addition to the turbulence, Jiang Tiandong didn''t even need to do anything. Lu Feng had already died when he reached the ravine.


    Not long after Jiang Tiandong left, the poisonous gas in the valley corroded Lu Feng''s body. He was drunk and had just finished his life. He took in his last breath.


    It was at that time that the remnant soul protected by the Primal Chaos Bell came over and took over Lu Feng''s body, which had just lost its life. He then came back to life.


    Although the Jiang Clan had heard about Lu Feng''s return to Greencloud City yesterday, no one had dared to tell this young miss. This had led to Jiang Xin not knowing that the brand-new Lu Feng had officially returned.


    At this time, she bumped into Lu Feng, the proud daughter of heaven, and felt that it was surreal.


    In Jiang Xin''s memory, the old Lu Feng, as the most famous good-for-nothing in Greencloud City, emanated a decadent aura, making people feel annoyed just by looking at him.


    Especially that day at the Jiang Clan, when Lu Feng was caught red-handed, he reeked of alcohol and was confused. This made Jiang Xin, who had never seen Lu Feng before, even more annoying.


    Furthermore, with Lu Feng''s notoriety, Jiang Xin did not have much interest in him. But now that she saw his character, she could not even be bothered to look at him, much less take the initiative to care about his life.


    At that time, Jiang Xin had only agreed to Jiang Tianxing''s proposal because she had considered the possibility of her reputation being damaged.


    But what he didn''t expect was that the turning point of this matter was too quick, and the matter of the City Governor''s Estate annulling the marriage happened right away.


    This time, Jiang Xin had become the ultimate victim, bearing the burden of her notoriety.


    As for the agreement between the Jiang and Lu Families, Jiang Xin had no qualms about it because to a proud daughter of heaven like her, Lu Feng was just a nobody. It was impossible for her to lose control of her heart over such a person.


    Now, all of a sudden, he saw the perfectly fine Lu Feng standing in front of him. His previous slyness and decadence were all gone, instead, he had a strong self-confidence.


    Jiang Xin was both surprised and surprised by Lu Feng''s luck.


    Jiang Xin knew that the Green Cloud Mountain outside the city was full of dangerous demon beasts. Forget trash like Lu Feng, even ordinary Houtian experts wouldn''t dare to venture too deep into the mountains alone.


    Jiang Xin vaguely remembered that her father had said when he returned that night that the Jiang Clan''s First Elder, Jiang Tianfang, had personally thrown Lu Feng, who had been severely injured, into a valley in the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    Of course, from the bottom of her heart, Jiang Xin didn''t necessarily want to take Lu Feng''s life, because she didn''t care at all. In her eyes, Lu Feng was just an ant, and the life and death of an ant wasn''t worth her concern.


    However, when she saw the pretty maid holding onto Lu Feng''s arm, Jiang Xin could not help but feel a wave of disgust. Her impression of Lu Feng became even worse.


    On the other hand, when Lu Feng suddenly saw his victim from that day, even though he was no longer the Lu Feng from before, he still felt embarrassed.


    When the situation was hot, this kind of awkwardness only lasted for a moment. For Lu Feng right now, other than two or three members of the Lu Family, no one else was worth his attention.


    Therefore, Lu Feng only paused for a moment before starting to chat and laugh with Lu Lili, who had been pestering him.


    Jiang Xin, who was sitting across the street, had thought that Lu Feng would go over and either feel pleased with himself or be careful of her. She had never expected that Lu Feng would have such a reaction.


    Seeing that Lu Feng had completely disregarded his own existence, Jiang Xin decided to continue chatting with Little Charmer. Seeing that they were about to leave the commercial street, Jiang Xin was so infuriated that her eyes almost spouted fire.


    "Lu Feng, stop right there!"


    A delicate shout interrupted Lu Feng''s footsteps.


    Along with a fragrant wind, Jiang Xin unfurled her body and quickly arrived in front of Lu Feng. She glared fiercely at him.


    Lu Feng''s brows creased slightly. He was slightly disgusted by Jiang Xin''s pestering. The two families had already agreed on this, yet now she was looking for trouble? What was this all about?


    "Lu Feng, you trash, coward, do you have nothing to say to me?" Jiang Xin said angrily.


    At this moment, Lu Lushui also recognized Jiang Xin. She quickly let go of Lu Feng''s arm and stood obediently by his side. Deep down in her heart, she still hadn''t gotten rid of the identity of her servant girl.


    Raising his head, Lu Feng looked at Jiang Xin for the first time in his life.


    Jiang Xin was tall and slender with a beautiful face. She could indeed be considered a great beauty.


    What was even more remarkable was that despite being a woman, Jiang Xin still had a heroic air about her. Along with her delicate figure, she had a contradictory and harmonious temperament, attracting the attention of others.


    Of course, this level of beauty was still unable to attract Lu Feng''s attention. As the Celestial Emperor of his past life, what sort of delicate beauty was she that he had never seen before? Of course he wouldn''t be absent-minded because of an ordinary girl.


    Hearing Jiang Xin''s question, Lu Feng calmly asked, "What is there to say?" Didn''t the matter already be resolved? "


    Lu Feng''s calmness had once again stirred Jiang Xin''s heart. What kind of person was this? How could he be so shameless?


    As a proud daughter of heaven, Jiang Xin had seen plenty of flattery and fawning on her. When had she ever met someone who was practically dismissive of him?


    "Lu Feng, shouldn''t you have said ''sorry'' to me?"


    Jiang Xin''s mistress'' temper also rose as she spoke to Lu Feng coquettishly.


    "Is that necessary?


    Can''t you see with your intellect what this is all about?


    Or could it be that the title of the most talented girl in the city is just an empty title?


    "Alright, get out of the way. I''m going back."


    Let alone apologizing, he even ignored Jiang Xin''s existence.


    As he spoke, Lu Feng reached out and grabbed onto Lu Lai Rui''s small hand, walking forward.


    Seeing that Lu Feng had left, Jiang Xin stomped her small feet and walked towards the Jiang manor in a huff.


    The more Jiang Xin thought about it, the angrier she became. She called her housekeeper over to ask when Lu Feng had returned to the city and what he had been doing these past few days.


    Jiang Xin was astonished when the butler recounted all of Lu Feng''s heroic deeds these days, especially today. Lu Feng had defeated the Yao brothers and Mo Feimu on his own, and had even burned the City Lord''s Mansion''s Fourth Elder to ashes with a martial skill that no one had ever seen before.


    "Could it be that there''s really something else going on?"


    After sending off the butler, Jiang Xin stared at the sky and muttered to herself in a low voice.

 C14 House

    Leaving the commercial street, Lu Feng dragged Lu Yueru back to the Lu family.


    On the way there, Lu Yueru kept asking why Lu Feng was so cold and detached towards Jiang Xin. However, Lu Feng wouldn''t give any reason for such a question. What was there to discuss about a mere mortal?


    When they reached home, Lu Feng told Lu Lailong to go back to her room to rest while he headed straight for the Lu family''s warehouse.


    As one of the top cultivation aristocratic families in the city, the Lu family, like most aristocratic families, had their own private treasury, as well as some other necessary cultivation resources, as well as some strange and unknown items that could not be used for the time being.


    Lu Feng came to the treasury to find the herb needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in order to completely enter the Building Foundation Stage and reach the level of a Xiantian expert of this world.


    In addition, Lu Feng also wanted to see if he could find some precious materials in the treasury and refine some defensive magic treasures for himself and Lu Yueru. Lu Feng also wanted to see if he could find some precious materials in the treasury and refine some defensive magic treasures for himself and Lu Yueru.


    As a girl with no cultivation, Lu Feng was very concerned about her safety.


    Of course, Lu Feng was also prepared to find a suitable cultivation technique to take her on the cultivation path after refining the Qi Replenishing Pill and the Cyan Spirit Pill. Even if she didn''t have a high cultivation level in the future, at least she could still protect herself, maintain her looks, and live for a long time.


    Even though the people of the Tian Yuan Continent did not know about them, that did not mean that Lu Feng was unfamiliar with them. If possible, Lu Feng hoped that he could find a few things that could be useful to him.


    After arriving at the treasury, the guards there did not dare to slight Lu Feng. After all, Lu Feng was the second young master who had the right to be the successor to the family.


    Moreover, the news of Lu Feng teaching the Third Steward, who had advanced to the Xiantian realm, a lesson yesterday had already spread throughout the Lu family. Everyone now knew that the once good-for-nothing Second Young Master had actually gained a strong cultivation after his trip to the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    The leader of the guards was still unaware of Lu Feng''s magnificent feat today. If he knew that Lu Feng had instantly killed an early stage Xiantian realm master, and then killed a late stage Xiantian master with a single palm strike, Lu Feng would have received another shock.


    After respectfully bowing to Lu Feng, the guard took the key and happily opened the door of the treasury. He then told Lu Feng which region to store the materials in and enthusiastically acted as Lu Feng''s guide.


    Seeing the guard leader being so enthusiastic, Lu Feng called for him to follow him into the warehouse. On one hand, it was to help him point the way, and on the other hand, it was to make a record. As the current Lu Feng, there was no need to make things difficult for the people below.


    The guard leader was overjoyed. He quickly ordered his men to open the door to the treasury while he led Lu Feng inside.


    It had to be said that a large family like the Lu family that had existed for countless years did indeed have a lot of collections. Those materials were undoubtedly several levels higher than what Lu Feng had seen on the business street.


    In the medicinal herb area, Lu Feng easily found the missing herb and also took a few points of the materials to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet. He was preparing to refine some Small Revitalizing Pellets in case he needed them.


    Afterwards, Lu Feng came to the Refining Materials District and selected some common materials such as pure gold, steel, red copper and so on. He prepared to forge a cauldron for himself; it had to be known that whether it was for refining pills or weapons, a good furnace was essential.


    After placing all the selected materials into the Cosmic Bag, Lu Feng, under the guidance of the guard leader, headed over to the storage area for those strange items and started inspecting them one by one.


    Unfortunately, Lu Feng was disappointed. Seeing that he was almost done looking through them, he didn''t even have anything of interest left, let alone something miraculous.


    "Second Young Master, are you looking for something?" The guard leader asked enthusiastically.


    "It''s nothing, I was just looking around.


    All the unknown things in our Lu Family are here? " Lu Feng asked indifferently.


    "Second Young Master, there is also a secret chamber inside, where precious materials are stored. There is a relatively small area, and there are a few things there, the experts of the clans of the past do not know their names and uses, but according to the legends of the older generation, those things are very mysterious, and some of them even have quite a lot of spirit energy fluctuations." The guard leader whispered.


    "Come, let''s go take a look." Lu Feng was also interested. The fluctuations of his spiritual energy were very strong, and he didn''t even know his name. This was very consistent with his expectations.


    The head guard spoke with some difficulty, "Second master, that room requires the patriarch''s orders to open it. Now that the patriarch has gone out, do you think it would be appropriate to wait for the patriarch to come back before you take a look?"


    Hearing this, Lu Feng did not say anything, but looked at the guard leader with an expressionless face.


    Perhaps he could clearly feel Lu Feng''s displeasure, the guard leader gritted his teeth and said, "Second Young Master, I can bring you there, but when the Patriarch punishes you, you must help me."


    Lu Feng sensed the guard leader''s aura and asked, "What''s your name?"


    The guard leader replied, "Reporting to Second Young Master, my name is Lu Cheng and I''m in the late Houtian realm."


    "Alright, I''ll talk to your Commander. Just follow me from now on." Lu Feng said.


    "Thank you, second young master. This subordinate will definitely follow orders from the front and back of the carriage, and will only obey orders from the second young master."


    Lu Cheng was overjoyed and quickly expressed his loyalty to Lu Feng.


    "I will see how you perform in the future. If you perform well, I don''t mind giving you some good fortune."


    "But if you don''t agree, hmph!"


    Lu Feng sneered and did not continue.


    "Second Young Master, just look at my performance.


    Although I, Lu Cheng, am just a small fry, once I''ve sincerely pledged my allegiance to you, I will definitely not turn my back on you and seek honor. " Lu Cheng said solemnly.


    "Let''s go, take me to the secret room." As for Lu Cheng''s oath, he did not put it in his heart at all.


    This was because Lu Feng knew that as long as he could raise his strength to a point where others would find it difficult to deal with him, he would naturally gather a group of loyal subordinates by his side.


    On the contrary, if he didn''t have the strength, then everything would be useless.


    Wasn''t Lu Cheng''s current allegiance the result of his lecture to the Third Steward yesterday?


    Lu Feng, who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years, had a very deep understanding of the complex nature of the human heart.


    Receiving Lu Feng''s approval, Lu Cheng happily brought Lu Feng to a corner of the treasury. There was an inconspicuous small door, and it seemed to be very tightly shut.


    Lu Cheng took out an ancient looking key from his pocket, unlocked the door, and opened the small door.


    As the small door opened, a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation could be felt.

 C15 Five Elements Spirit Root

    Following the fluctuation of the spiritual energy, Lu Feng quickly entered the secret chamber and came to a shelf placed in the corner.


    The shelves were divided into three layers, each containing only a few items.


    The source of that Spiritual Qi fluctuation was a scale on the second floor.


    Lu Feng recognized it at a glance. It was the reverse scale on the body of the dragon clan''s ancestor, Yinglong.


    "Yinglong, your painstaking efforts were in vain. You became Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan''s chariot and entered the Fire Cloud Palace to cultivate. However, your reverse scale was pulled out by someone and ended up in this different world."


    Looking at that reverse scale, Lu Feng''s eyes were a little blurry, and his thoughts seemed to once again return to the scenes of the Lich War.


    It was after the Lich War that the humans took control of the world. The surviving Witch clan members were not willing to surrender and launched another war, resulting in the birth of the three Human Sovereigns, Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan.


    After each of them made their own contributions, the three Human Sovereigns entered the Fire Cloud Palace, which was 33 Layered Heavens, to study the Yellow Court''s Scripture that the Daofather had passed on.


    One of them, the Yellow Emperor, was someone who had defeated the Witch clan greatly and had done great deeds for the human race in order to be able to enter.


    As for Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan, when he flew to Fire Cloud Palace, he was riding the Dragon Clan''s ancestor, the Raindragon. This was the origin for the humans to claim themselves as the descendants of dragons.


    When humans ruled this world, Lu Feng had already died, leaving only a small remnant of his soul hidden inside the Primal Chaos Bell. However, this didn''t mean that he was completely unaware of everything that was happening outside.


    Of course, what caused Lu Feng to be moved was not the reverse scale of the Flying Rain-Dragon, but the almost completely dried up root beside it.


    The root was about a foot long and completely black. It was dry and had a lot of mud stuck to it. If one looked closely, they would see that there was almost no spiritual energy fluctuating in the area.


    However, with Lu Feng''s knowledge, he was able to recognize the origin of this root with just a glance. It was one of the mysterious roots of heaven and earth ¨C a small section of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree.


    Before the Primordial Era, before the opening of the universe, there was already a group of intelligent beings that had been infected with XianTian energy. Later on, they all became Xiantian Immortals, including Pangu, Taiyi, Nuwa, Qualified Apprentice, and other powerful beings.


    Of course, the Upper Sky Realm warriors mentioned here were not the same as the Upper Sky warriors of the Tian Yuan Continent.


    The ''Xiantian'' of the Tian Yuan Continent only referred to the cultivators who had reached the independent circulation of their internal primeval essence, just like a fetus in its mother''s womb. It was only a cultivation state.


    And a first-rate Innate was the first life form born from the Primordial Purple Qi before the heavens and earth opened.


    Since there were Xiantian Immortals in this world, there would naturally be Xiantian plants and ores. Many ancient Immortal artifacts were refined from the plant ores that had absorbed a sliver of Xiantian spiritual energy during the ancient era.


    For example, the clear willow branches in the hands of the people from the Great Luo Golden Immortals'' Passage, along with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in the hands of the Daoist, were innate spirit plants that grew from the absorption of Spiritual Qi when the world first opened.


    The Innate Spirit Plant was unlike any other immortal grass or treasure. It had all sorts of external appearances, and was like a supreme expert returning to its original nature. It was reserved and did not appear to be any different from any other plant.


    The two most famous spiritual strains were the ginseng fruit tree that Zhenyanzi had taken away and the Immortality Peach tree that had fallen into the hands of the Jade Emperor Haotian. The wonders of these two trees were not described here.


    The withered root in Lu Feng''s hand came from the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree.


    The Five Elements Spirit Fruit is no less miraculous than the Immortality Peach Tree. Every ten thousand years, only a batch of fruits can grow, absorb the spirit energy of the five elements, conceive of Yin and Yang, fuse Yin and Yang into chaos, and then produce a sliver of the origin energy of heaven and earth.


    Moreover, the natural power nurtured within the fruit has incalculable benefits to the body''s meridians.


    Ever since the world started, the Five Elements Spirit Fruit had been kept in the hands of Nuwa, and she had spent the last nine days of her life carefully cultivating it. It was truly a precious treasure.


    The only thing he did not know was how this piece of root, which was still stained with the Swelling Earth, had managed to make its way to the Tian Yuan Continent.


    Lu Feng reached out and picked up the withered tree root. Feeling the faint life energy inside, Lu Feng couldn''t help but be filled with emotion.


    "Looks like after I left, my little junior sister encountered quite some trouble as well. Otherwise, how could the Five Elements Spirit Fruit tree that she''d always regarded as a treasure be destroyed by someone even the roots of a tree?"


    Lu Feng''s voice was barely audible as he mumbled to himself.


    "Second Young Master, is there anything special about this tree root?" Lu Cheng asked curiously when he saw Lu Feng pick up the root.


    Lu Feng fiddled with the root in his hand and said to Lu Cheng, "You have been guarding the treasury the entire time, but have you never heard of the legend regarding the root?"


    Lu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Second Young Master, I heard from my grandfather that he was also a guard at the treasury back then.


    According to him, this root had been here since a long time ago. Although he couldn''t feel any spirit energy fluctuations from it, what was strange was that even though this root looked very dry, it actually couldn''t be cut or cut at all. Even when his family took the initiative to use a Profound Grade spirit artifact, it still couldn''t harm it at all.


    Even more bizarre was that the soil on top of it was just like the soil on top of it. No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible to get it off.


    Back then, the clan head had specially ordered for this item to be stored in a secret room, waiting for the arrival of a fated person.


    Second Young Master, do you know where this thing came from? "


    "Hehe, how would I know its origin?"


    As Lu Feng spoke, he casually put the root back to its original flavor.


    Lu Feng looked at the treasures in the secret chamber and left empty-handed. In his words, although those items were not bad, they were of no use to him at the current stage.


    Of course, it was impossible for Lu Feng to tell Lu Cheng that he was determined to obtain the Five Elements Spirit Fruit''s roots. It was just that it was temporarily left there since it was useless right now.


    After leaving the treasury, Lu Feng went straight to find the family''s guard commander, Lu Wenshan.


    Lu Wenshan looked like a middle-aged man with a middle stage Xiantian cultivation. He was one of the elite warriors from the Lu family who had followed Lu Kun to kill the leader of the Magic Beasts.


    Lu Wenshan had always been loyal to the Lu Family, and his position in the family was also very important.


    After Lu Feng told Lu Wenshan the purpose of his visit, Lu Wenshan happily agreed to arrange a few personal guards for Lu Feng. As the second young master of the Lu family, this was also the treatment Lu Feng was supposed to enjoy.


    Just like this, Lu Cheng was successfully assigned to Lu Feng''s side. He became Lu Feng''s personal bodyguard leader, and together with a few other bodyguards, took on the responsibility of protecting Lu Feng.


    After fulfilling his promise to Lu Cheng, Lu Feng returned to his own courtyard and started considering the matter of refining pills.

 C16 Alchemy

    When Lu Feng returned to his small courtyard, Lu Cheng, who had received Lu Wenshan''s orders, had already brought two guards with him and rushed over to report.


    After instructing Lu Cheng to find a book on refining, Lu Feng began to understand the refining system of this world.


    After spending an entire afternoon, Lu Hong roughly understood that the refining methods of this world consisted of mixing various types of ores with various demon beast materials and forging the weapons and armor he liked. Rather than calling it refining, it was more appropriate to call it crafting equipment.


    As for the grade of the weapon, it was divided into four categories: ordinary, precious, spiritual, and divine. Each grade was further divided into four ranks: heaven, earth, dark, and yellow.


    Common weapons only relied on sharpness and hardness to win. They were relatively cheaper and could be considered civilian weapons.


    A treasure was a mainstream weapon used by cultivators. It had a certain amount of special effects, such as increasing the power of martial skills.


    A Spirit Treasure was a legendary item. It could increase the power of martial skills by a large margin, and on top of it, it also contained one or more martial skills, so as long as one used true essence, they could activate them. On the continent, there were very few people who could afford to use a Spirit Treasure to fight against enemies.


    As for divine artifacts, it was said that they were created and used by a divine being. That was even more legendary. In the continent, no one possessed a divine artifact.


    Moreover, Lu Feng discovered that the refining efforts here were mainly focused on weapons and defensive equipment. Almost no one would put in the effort to refine such a unique looking magical equipment.


    Not to mention those innate treasures like the Primal Chaos Bell and the Primordial Lights, even the Immortal Slaying Flying Daggers, which were crafted using the Primordial Spirit of Master Magician Kuafu and Houyi, were absolutely all divine weapons among divine artifacts, ranked among the top tier.


    Sigh!


    Lu Feng sighed. Forget it, it was better not to think about it. The past was already the past. One still had to focus on the present.


    After that, Lu Feng closed the door to his yard and took out all the ores from his Cosmic Bag. Then, he piled them all up in the yard.


    Then, Lu Feng set up a spell formation to hide his presence in the yard and came to the pile of ores.


    After standing properly in the middle, Lu Hong waved his hands and over a thousand kilograms of ores floated up from the ground, spinning in front of Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng opened his mouth and spat out the Samadhi True Fire. It wrapped around those ores and started to refine them.


    As time passed, under the tempering of Lu Feng''s Samadhi True Fire, the volume of the ores continued to shrink, expelling the impurities and finally merging them together.


    Seeing the metal liquid the size of a human head, Lu Feng smiled in satisfaction. He spat out another group of Samadhi True Fire.


    After several rounds, the thousand jin of ore was finally refined into a fist-sized ball by Lu Feng.


    Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lu Feng formed hand signs with his hands and stepped on the Seven Stars. One formation after another was formed on his hand, and he threw them into that ball of liquid.


    After dozens of array formations had been completed, Lu Feng shouted in a deep voice, "Gather!" He pointed with both hands and a golden light shot into the ball of liquid.


    With a hum and a flash of light, an ancient three-legged divine cauldron appeared in the air.


    The divine cauldron wasn''t that big, and was only about two feet tall. Its color was golden, and it was extremely ancient.


    As Lu Feng looked at the divine furnace in front of him, he let out a long breath. His first creation had finally been completed.


    Just now, Lu Feng had almost exhausted all of his true essence.


    At this moment, he felt extremely weak.


    After taking another look at the eye cauldron, Lu Feng sat down with his legs crossed and began meditating.


    His cultivation had reached the thirty-sixth cycle.


    When Lu Feng stood up again, he felt very comfortable, as if his entire body was emanating an indescribable feeling of comfort. It seemed that his Cultivation base was on the verge of breaking through to the early Foundation Establishment stage.


    Feeling the true essence flowing through his body once more, Lu Feng was filled with joy as he arrived in front of the divine cauldron.


    The cauldron''s grade was not very high; it could only be considered an Earth Grade treasure. However, this was the foundation for Lu Feng''s future refining.


    Moreover, when he had better materials in the future, as Lu Feng continued to refine them, the grade of the divine furnace would also continue to increase.


    "In the future, your name will be San Cai." As the sound of Lu Feng''s voice faded, two ancient words appeared on the side of the cauldron. It was precisely the word ''Trinity''.


    With a cauldron, Lu Feng would of course have to start refining the treasures and elixirs that he liked.


    Taking out the herbs from his Heaven and Earth Pouch, Lu Feng grabbed a few stalks and threw them into the Trinity Cauldron in front of him.


    Following Lu Feng''s spell, a flame appeared beneath the Trinity Cauldron. The various medicines within the cauldron also began to decompose and melt.


    Following Lu Feng''s continuous chants, the flame beneath the cauldron rose and fell, continuously melting and dissolving the medicinal ingredients within the cauldron. Lu Feng, on the other hand, would occasionally add a few other medicinal ingredients according to the situation within the cauldron.


    After working busily for nearly two hours, as the last spell of Lu Li was executed, the cauldron lid vibrated three times, and a dense mist rose up as a burst of strange fragrance assaulted his nostrils.


    Done!


    Lu Feng was overjoyed. He quickly opened the lid and took out all the pills from the cauldron.


    He calculated that this furnace had formed eighteen pills, which was two to nine times more.


    Although he was only concocting the most basic Qi Replenishing Pill, a low-grade pill that Lu Feng had never even bothered to look at in his previous life, this was still the beginning for Lu Feng to truly step onto the path of cultivation.


    After a simple celebration, Lu Feng tried even harder to concoct four batches of pills. Including the previous one, there were two batches each of Qi Replenishing Pills and two batches of Cyan Spirit Pills. There was also one small pill, which could increase one''s cultivation, one to replenish true energy, and one to heal injuries.


    Taking out a few jade bottles, Lu Feng put away the two elixirs and then looked towards the remaining herbs. It was time to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.


    Compared to the Qi Replenishing and Green Spirit Pills, the Foundation Establishment Pills were much more difficult. After all, they were pills that could help one break through to a higher level, and they were also pills that could help one truly step onto the path of cultivation.


    After taking a Green Spirit Pill to replenish the primeval essence in his body, Lu Feng once again formed a spell and began to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.


    When the moon was high in the sky, Lu Feng, who had almost used up all of his primeval essence, finally managed to refine three Foundation Establishment Pills.


    With these three Foundation Establishment Pills, not only would he be able to enter the Building Foundation Stage immediately, comparable to the Xiantian experts of the Tian Yuan Continent. Even that little girl, Lu Rui, would be able to quickly enter the cultivation state with the help of the Qi Replenishing Pill, reaching the Building Foundation Stage unimpeded and then breaking into the Jindan Stage.


    Lu Feng believed that as long as he could keep up with his pills, it would be easy for him to let Lu Yueru catch up with him.


    It seemed that after he had completed his foundation, he needed to help this little girl find a cultivation technique as soon as possible.

 C17 Foundation

    After making his future plans, Lu Feng stood up and waved his hand to remove the concealment array in the yard, preparing to take a look at the situation.


    As soon as Lu Feng removed the magic formation, Lu Yueru hurriedly ran over.


    "Big brother, where did you go just now?"


    Why couldn''t I find you when I knew you were in the yard?


    Big brother, if you do anything else next time, can you tell Liru in advance? I''m so worried about you. "


    Looking at the girl''s slightly red eyes, Lu Feng understood that the girl had been too anxious when she couldn''t see him while he was hiding in the magical array.


    While stroking her hair lovingly, Lu Feng said, "Luan Rui, big brother is cultivating. Wait until I teach you the trick to the magic formation, you can find me anytime."


    "Really? Then hurry up and teach me! " Lu Lushui said happily when she heard this.


    "You don''t have any cultivation base right now, and even if I teach you the trick right now, you won''t be able to enter. Once I find a cultivation technique suitable for you to cultivate in, I will help you cross the Body Tempering stage and reach the Houtian realm, then you can use the true essence in your body to identify the array I have set up." Lu Feng said.


    Hearing this, the little girl felt a bit disappointed, but soon her attention was distracted by the good news that was about to start cultivating.


    "Big brother, when will you be able to find a cultivation technique?" Lu Lulong asked anxiously, as if she couldn''t wait to start cultivating.


    Lu Feng smiled and said, "Don''t worry. There are countless methods in the memory passed down to me by senior. I need to properly organize them and find the most suitable one for you to cultivate in. Only then can you quickly grow up."


    As for now, I plan to break through the bottleneck tonight and enter the postcelestial stage. "


    "What?" Brother, are you going to become a Xiantian master?


    Great! Among the younger generation in Qingyun City, only Jiang Xin was at the peak Houtian realm, a step away from the Xiantian realm. And just like this, she was already considered the number one genius of Qingyun City.


    If those people knew that my brother, the once useless Lu Feng, was about to enter the Innate Realm, wouldn''t they be so shocked that their jaws would drop? "


    Hearing that Lu Feng was about to start breaking through to the Xiantian bottleneck, Lu Yueru cried out in joy. Her hands could not help but hold onto Lu Feng''s arm, shaking it uncontrollably. Once again, Lu Feng felt the soft touch of her soul.


    "Alright, Lushui, it''s getting late. You should go rest first. When you wake up tomorrow, your brother will have already entered the Xiantian realm." Lu Feng gently said to the little girl.


    "No! I want to accompany my brother and watch him advance into the Innate Realm with my own eyes! "


    Lu Hua Rui held Lu Feng''s arm with both of her hands, twisting and turning her body like a piece of candy, as if she didn''t mind that Lu Feng was eating her tender tofu.


    Although it was an old monster that had lived for countless tens of thousands of years and was hidden underneath the delicate and pretty appearance of Lu Feng, he still found it hard to endure such an alluring scene.


    "Lush, be obedient. Big brother''s breakthrough won''t happen in a short period of time. If you don''t rest well, you will turn into a panda tomorrow."


    Helpless, Lu Feng could only softly speak to the little girl.


    "Big brother, what is a panda?" Lu Lushui asked, confused.


    "Ugh!"


    Lu Feng was stunned. It seemed that there was no panda in the Tian Yuan Continent.


    "The panda is a very cute magical beast. Its fur is black and white, and it looks chubby. More importantly, it has two big black eye circles."


    Lu Feng patiently explained.


    "Oh, brother, I see, you mean the black and white bear.


    However, weren''t the Black and White Bears all Yellow Rank or higher magical beasts?


    You don''t find them cute at all? "


    Lu Hua Rui suddenly realized what was going on.


    "Is that so? Have you seen it? " Lu Feng asked.


    Lu Lushui felt a little bit embarrassed and shook her head. "No, but there are many records of Black and White Bears in the books.


    With their strength at such a high level, they must be scary. "


    Only now did Lu Feng understand that there were pandas on the Tian Yuan Continent. However, those pandas were extremely powerful, so normal people wouldn''t be able to see them, so they had some mysterious legends about them.


    However, in the eyes of normal people, magic beasts, especially those with great strength, were very scary existences and were not even close to cute.


    Lu Feng lovingly rubbed the little girl''s little head and said, "Lush, go rest first. When you start cultivating in the future, big brother will accompany you. We''ll go find the Black and White Bears together and have a look at their loveliness."


    "Alright, then I''ll go to sleep first. Big brother, you can do it!"


    Lu Hua Rui reluctantly let go of Lu Feng''s arm, and even raised her little fist to help Lu Feng.


    After sending Lu Yueru away, Lu Feng once again set up a concealment array. He then set up a small scale source gathering array inside and sat down, preparing to break into the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Lu Feng casually took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and threw it into his mouth.


    Feeling a warm current converging in his Dantian, Lu Feng did not dare to hesitate. Immediately, he calmed his heart and calmed his mind. He circulated the Revolving Star Dou Technique, continuously absorbing the energy of the stars and the heaven and earth.


    As Lu Feng entered the state of forgetfulness, countless amounts of star power and heaven and earth origin energy continued to gather at the location where Lu Feng was. Under the effect of the Origin Convergence Array, they entered Lu Feng''s body and circulated along his meridians, repeatedly condensing into his own true essence.


    As the true essence in his body continued to increase, Lu Feng''s meridians felt waves of strong pressure. The width of his meridians was gradually unable to contain a massive amount of true essence.


    Finally, the increase in his true essence had reached a limit. If Lu Feng''s meridians continued to maintain their original state, his body would very likely explode.


    At this time, the Foundation Establishment Pill that Lu Feng had just consumed began to show its mysterious effects.


    With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the massive amount of true essence in Lu Feng''s body continued to surge and attack.


    With a "boom" sound in Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness, Lu Feng broke through. The massive amount of true essence in his body also began to flow through his Dantian. It continued to compress and compress, gradually changing into the shape of a liquid.


    Sensing that his meridians had doubled in size and had turned into tiny streams of true essence, Lu Feng finally woke up from his state of forgetfulness.


    However, Lu Feng knew that now was the time to stabilize his cultivation. Only by completely transforming all of the primeval essence in his body into liquid form would it signify that he had truly entered the initial stages of Foundation Establishment.


    Lu Feng continued to circulate the Revolving Star Dou Technique. He controlled the primeval essence in his body, continuously gathering it into his dantian, transforming it into liquid, and then flowing it through his meridians, completing a cycle.


    After a long time, all of the true essence in Lu Feng''s body finally completely turned into liquid form. The heaven and earth origin energy and the power of the stars also poured into his body, after entering his body, they continued to gather in his dantian, condensing, compressing, and transforming into liquid form.


    In time, when the true essence within Lu Feng''s body once again filled up his meridians, he would be able to attempt to condense his aurous core and achieve the true path of the aurous core.

 C18 Farm Weather

    When the light appeared in the east and the morning sun began to shine on the earth, the wind stopped another cycle and stood up refreshingly.


    After a night of cultivation, Lu Feng had completely stabilized his cultivation. Not only had he successfully entered the Foundation Establishment stage, but he had also used a night''s worth of time with the help of the Qi Replenishing Pill and the Origin Convergence Array.


    Lu Feng believed that in a few more days, he would be able to break through to the early Foundation Establishment stage and advance to the middle stage, comparable to a middle stage Xiantian expert.


    Of course, although Lu Feng''s current cultivation was only equivalent to an early Xiantian realm master, but with the Demonic Emperor Shuntian Sword, and the tempering of his absolute body and the tempering of his Quintessential Essence using the Revolving Star Dou Technique, he would be able to defeat a middle Xiantian realm master. Even if Lu Feng were to fight a late Xiantian master, he would be able to maintain an undefeated form.


    In other words, the current Lu Feng could walk unhindered in the Greencloud City. Other than a few supreme elders from the several great families, there was no one else who could take away Lu Feng''s life.


    Even Lu Feng''s father, Lu Xiong, who was at the peak of Xiantian, could defeat Lu Feng easily, but Lu Feng''s life would not be at stake.


    After breakfast, Lu Feng checked on the body of the little girl, Lu Lili. He picked up a manual from his memory and taught it to the little girl, telling her to start cultivating.


    Lu Hua Rui was quite smart. She was able to enter a meditative state on her first attempt at cultivation, which gave Lu Feng quite a pleasant surprise.


    Just as Lu Feng was about to create some defensive magic treasures for the siblings, Lu Cheng, who had just joined Lu Feng, walked into his yard with an uneasy look on his face. He brought with him some bad news.


    According to Lu Cheng, Lu Feng''s father, the Lu family''s current head, Lu Xiong, had rushed to the farmlands outside the city to deal with the matter of the demon beasts'' assault and disturbance when he accidentally encountered a few late-stage Xiantian realm demon beasts.


    However, according to the information that Lu Cheng had gathered, Grand Elder Lu Wei, who was temporarily acting as Patriarch, didn''t seem to have any intentions of supporting Lu Xiong.


    Also, in the whole Lu Family, there seemed to be very few people who heard about the Patriarch being trapped.


    After listening to Lu Cheng''s explanation, Lu Feng frowned.


    Just like what he had said to the little girl, Lu Rui, the entire time, Lu Feng suspected that not only the City Lord''s Mansion was involved in the plot against him, but the Lu Family was also involved.


    Of course, this was only a suspicion on Lu Feng''s part. Without any proof, it would not be announced to the public.


    Now, with the news that Lu Cheng had brought along with it, as well as the incident that had just occurred, the Lu family had encountered the invasion of a magical beast and even trapped the Patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Xiong. Lu Feng had reason to believe that Grand Elder Lu Wei was a very suspicious person.


    "Second Young Master, the news hasn''t spread and it is still confidential. What do you think we should do now?"


    Seeing that Lu Feng had been deep in thought, Lu Cheng cautiously asked.


    "Do you know where the Patriarch and the rest are now?"


    Lu Feng turned to the side. If he wanted to defeat the conspiracy against his father and son, he would have to first rescue Lu Xiong and stabilize the Lu Family under Lu Xiong''s guidance. Only then would he be able to find out what the conspiracy was through some clues.


    Therefore, Lu Feng immediately asked Lu Cheng where Lu Xiong was.


    "Second Young Master, I know, it''s the farm in the north of the city. When I was young, I lived there and was very familiar with the terrain there."


    Obviously, Lu Cheng had already finished his homework and immediately told them the information he had received.


    "If that''s the case, then there''s no time to lose. Let''s leave the city immediately and rush to the farm. We need to rescue the Patriarch first."


    Lu Feng said resolutely.


    "Second Young Master, just the few of us, aren''t we a little too weak?"


    Besides, will Miss Lew come with you?


    With an ordinary person''s physique that she cannot cultivate in, there is no way she can pass through those magical beasts. "


    Yesterday, Lu Cheng had already heard about Lu Feng''s achievements after returning and knew that Lu Feng was no longer the same as before. However, against a magical beast that could trap the entire family, Lu Chen did not have much confidence in Lu Feng.


    What Lu Cheng said made sense, but compared to Lu Feng''s suspicions towards Grand Elder and the rest, he was still worried about leaving the little girl alone in the Lu Family.


    "Lu Cheng, you don''t need to say anymore. I have already made my decision.


    You should go out now and get your weapons ready. We have to set off immediately.


    Right, can you trust the two guards who came with you?


    If it''s your trusted aides, then bring them along with you. If it''s not, then don''t notify them and just let them wait at home. "


    Lu Feng gave Lu Cheng a few words of instruction, then went into the house to look for Lu Yueru.


    Waking up from her meditative state, Lu Rui, Lu Feng, simply explained the situation and asked the little girl for her decision. In the end, the little girl resolutely said that she must follow beside Lu Feng, regardless of life or death.


    Lu Feng silently nodded his head, turned around and led the little girl out of the room. Calling Lu Cheng, the three of them walked towards the city gate.


    As for the little tiger that had transformed into its body, it was blissfully and painfully lying in the little girl''s arms.


    Lu Cheng was used to being the leader of the guards in the end, so his mind was very active. Before leaving, he specially went to Lu Wenshan and lied that the Second Young Master wanted to go out of the city for a ride and asked for a few horses.


    After leaving the city, the three of them rode their horses toward the farm on the north side of the city.


    At this moment, in a secret room at the North City Farm, the Lu Family''s Patriarch, Lu Xiong, was sitting on a prayer mat, operating his martial arts to heal his injuries.


    The Lu family had several farms on the north side of the city, and this one was named the North District Farm. Not only was it the Lu family''s biggest food producer, but there were also a lot of herbs growing here. It was an important raw material base for the Lu family''s pill shop.


    On that day, after Lu Feng was taken away by Jiang Tiandong, Lu Xiong was both angry and anxious. He hated his son for not being able to meet his expectations, but at the same time, he was also worried for his safety.


    Who would have thought that before daybreak, Lu Xiong would receive bad news. A large group of magical beasts suddenly began to harass the Lu Family''s farms in the northern part of the city.


    Immediately, Lu Xiong led a team of guards to rush to the north side of the city to deal with the matter regarding the demon beast invasion.


    When Lu Xiong arrived, things had already changed greatly. Perhaps it was because the slaughter of the farm guards had angered the demon beasts, or perhaps it was because of some other reason, but the originally small scale invasion of the demon beasts had already turned into a large-scale siege.


    Seeing this scene, Lu Xiong was greatly alarmed. He quickly led his men to the demonic beasts'' encirclement and began to gather all of the people from the farms to the northern part of the city.

 C19 Cloud of Doubt

    What made Lu Xiong curious was that when facing his sudden intrusion, those magical beasts seemed to be under his command, consciously opening a path for him, allowing him to smoothly bring them all out.


    After all the farms had been evacuated and all the people gathered at the northern part of the city, Lu Xiong''s doubts became even more serious. Those demon beasts surrounded the northern part of the city and began to attack it wave after wave.


    After leading a group of people to block a few waves of magical beast attacks, the farmers and Lu Xiong''s guards were already starting to get injured.


    Although the people besieging the farm were all low-level magical beasts, most of them were in the Body Tempering realm, with very few in the Houtian realm. However, the strength of the guards were not high, and they were mostly in the Body Tempering realm.


    There were also a lot of magical beasts, so it was hard to believe that a good tiger could not handle a pack of wolves. After a period of continuous fighting, it was inevitable that there would be injuries.


    Helpless, Lu Xiong had no choice but to reduce the range of his defenses and split his men into groups to deal with the demon beasts'' attacks.


    Just like this, Lu Xiong was unable to repel the attacks of the demon beasts, and the demon beasts were unable to break through the manor''s defense. For a moment, the two sides faced off, and just like that, they continued to stick together.


    In fact, with Lu Xiong''s strength, if he abandoned all his subordinates to break through the encirclement, these magical beasts really wouldn''t be able to stop him. It should be known that a peak Xiantian master was not someone a low-level magical beast could rely on to defeat.


    However, as the head of the Lu Family, Lu Xiong really couldn''t act like he wanted to run away and live by himself.


    Moreover, Lu Xiong knew that if he were to escape, not only would the manor be destroyed, all of the Lu family''s men would also die here. This was something Lu Xiong could not accept no matter how hard he tried.


    Yesterday, the situation Lu Xiong was facing had worsened. A large number of Houtian realm demon beasts had appeared among the besieging troops.


    By the evening, the guards of the Lu family had already paid the price of a few lives, and Lu Xiong, while rescuing a few trapped guards, seeing that it was about to be a success, a few Xiantian magical beasts suddenly rushed out from the magical beast horde, not only killing those guards, but also severely injuring Lu Xiong in one go.


    Lu Xiong did not expect these Xiantian Magic Beasts to be so cunning. First, they hid their auras among the attacking Magic Beasts, taking advantage of Lu Xiong''s surprise and attacking him together, catching him off guard.


    Fortunately, although Lu Xiong was injured, his fighting strength was still there. The magical beasts also seemed to have no interest in fighting on. Under the lead of a few Xiantian level magical beasts, they slowly left the battlefield, but they still surrounded the manor.


    After returning to the manor, Lu Xiong ordered the guards to be on high alert, ready to respond to any attacks from magical beasts. He hurriedly entered the secret room and began to heal his wounds.


    Last night, the magical beasts did not launch another attack, but maintained their besieging posture, confronting the manor.


    But this morning, the sun had just risen and the demonic beasts were attacking the manor from all directions like a tidal wave. Their momentum was no weaker than the besieging of the beast tide that had besieged Greencloud City all those years ago.


    Lu Xiong was recuperating in a secret room. Under the lead of two early Xiantian realm masters, all of the guards in the manor resisted the attacks of the demon beast army with all their might while anxiously waiting for Lu Xiong''s return.


    When Lu Feng and the other two arrived, it was the most dangerous time of the manor. Under the lead of a few Xiantian level magical beasts, countless magical beasts broke through the manor''s walls and charged into the manor.


    After the guards had thrown down a few corpses, they were compressed into a few courtyards in the center of the sea of beasts. They relied on the thin walls to resist the attacks of the magical beasts.


    Seeing the sea of magical beasts in front of him, Lu Feng frowned.


    Instinctively, Lu Feng felt that this matter was giving off a strange feeling. It was as if there was an invisible black hand controlling this.


    Furthermore, with Lu Feng''s countless years of experience, he could immediately tell that although the majority of these magical beasts were summoned by those Xiantian level magical beasts, their orderly attack formation was definitely under the guidance of an expert.


    In other words, there was a fellow in the dark who was proficient in the control of magical beasts. He was controlling these magical beasts to surround and attack the Lu family''s North Village.


    Combined with the fact that Lu Xiong was trapped inside, Lu Feng believed that this person''s goal was definitely to rush towards Lu Xiong. Without powerful external help, Lu Xiong would soon die in this manor.


    Hmph, playing with the control of a magical beast right under this emperor''s nose, I think you must be tired of living.


    Lu Feng harrumphed in his heart.


    Indeed, Lu Feng from his previous life, as the Eastern Emperor, had another title, Demonic Lord.


    Every demon in the world would submit!


    This was the domineering power of Lu Feng!


    As if sensing Lu Feng''s state of mind, Xiao Hu, who was on Lu Feng''s shoulder, suddenly let out a loud roar, jumping down from Lu Feng''s shoulder. His body suddenly enlarged, transforming into the body of the Jade-Eyed Tiger.


    As Xiao Hu roared at the sky, the magical beasts surrounding the manor all stopped moving and turned to look at where Lu Feng and the other two were.


    This was especially true for the magical beasts in front of Lu Feng and the other two. When they felt the overwhelming aura of Xiao Hu, they obediently lowered their heads and consciously opened up a path.


    The three Xiantian Magic Beasts that were leading their group to attack the city, after hearing Little Tiger''s roar, also quickly came to the back of the formation.


    Looking at the three Heavenly Demon Beasts in front of him, a Green Wolf, a Nine Tailed Fire Fox, and a gigantic Scarlet Flame Demon Spider, Little Tiger''s eyes showed a hint of disdain.


    In the eyes of a magical beast whose strength was revered, as a peak Xiantian cultivator, Little Tiger naturally had the qualifications to look down on these three magical beasts.


    He stared at the three Xiantian level magical beasts in a very human-like manner. Little Tiger raised his head to the sky and let out a loud roar, which was filled with the domineering aura of an endless king.


    Upon hearing Xiaohu''s howls, several Jade-Eyed Tiger Beasts, who had been mixed in the group attacking the city, sprang out one after another and came to stand in front of Xiaohu, prostrating themselves on the ground to express their surrender.


    These Turquoise-Eyed Tiger Beasts were basically at the late Houtian realm. When they saw Little Tiger, the king of the tiger tribe, they could only obediently surrender.


    Little Tiger turned around and looked at Lu Feng with a pleased look before walking into the manor. Lu Feng and the others naturally urged their horses forward and followed behind Little Tiger, following the path in the middle of the sea of beasts as they headed towards the manor.


    At this moment, under Little Tiger''s deterrence, the magical beasts had already left the manor, but they did not disperse. Instead, they continued to gather around the manor, and only the six green-eyed tiger beasts followed behind Lu Feng and the others into the manor.


    Upon entering the manor, all he could see were collapsed buildings and scattered corpses, which gave him a shocking feeling.

 C20 Father and Son Meeting

    The guards of the manor had been desperately resisting.


    Suddenly, they heard the sound of a tiger''s roar coming from outside. Their expressions all changed. They could already feel that this person was definitely not an early stage Xiantian magical beast. Instead, he was an even stronger existence.


    Just as they were worried about their lives, unexpectedly, those previously fearless magical beasts suddenly retreated, and like a receding tide, quickly left the manor.


    While the guards were still in a state of doubt, Little Tiger led the way, and three of them mounted on their horses. Behind him, six Jade-Eyed Tiger Beasts appeared before them as though they were touring the world.


    "Oh my god!" It was the Jade-Eyed Tiger! Could it be that the tiger roar earlier was produced by him? "


    "This is the end. The Jade-Eyed Tiger is at least at the late stage of Xiantian."


    "That''s right, if the Patriarch was in his prime, he might have been able to force back this Jade-Eyed Tiger. But right now, the Patriarch still hasn''t come out of the secret room."


    "Who is following behind the Jade-Eyed Tiger? Could it be that there are people who can tame a king level magical beast? "


    "Why does that youth look so familiar to me?"


    "Oh my god!" It was the Second Young Master! Did you see that? It''s the Second Young Master! "


    "Second Young Master? Didn''t he get thrown into the Green Cloud Mountain? Why would he appear here? "


    "So what if Second Young Master comes? "He''s famous for being a waste of his cultivation in the clan. Isn''t that just adding a few more battle achievements to the magical beasts?"


    "Didn''t you notice? That Jade-Eyed Tiger seems to be paving the way for Second Young Master. "


    "Are your eyes playing tricks on you? How could the second young master tame such a powerful magical beast? "


    "Absolutely! "Look, those green-eyed tiger beasts behind the second young master seem to be very afraid of the second young master."


    "That''s right, the fact that the second young master was able to pass through the magical beast lines unharmed is a fact in itself."


    "It looks like Second Young Master has been reborn. It''s the Lu Family''s fortune!"


    "Now we''re saved!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Xiaohu gracefully arrived in front of the survivor, stopped, turned his head, and respectfully waited for Lu Feng''s command, completely ignoring the guards in front of him.


    "Little Tiger, come back!"


    Lu Feng lightly said.


    Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Xiaohu''s figure rapidly shrank and returned to his kitten form. Like a shooting star, he quickly jumped onto Lu Feng''s shoulder, squatted there, and ingratiatingly rubbed his head against Lu Feng''s hair.


    Ignoring everyone''s surprise, Lu Feng dismounted from his horse and asked, "Where is the Patriarch?"


    Only then did the crowd wake up as if they had just awoken from a dream. The person in front of them was, without a doubt, the second young master of the Lu family.


    "Greetings, young master!"


    "Reporting to the second young master, the head of the family is injured and is currently recuperating in a secret room."


    An early Xiantian realm master respectfully said as he came in front of Lu Feng and bowed.


    Lu Feng recognized this person. He was Lu Xiong''s personal guard, whose name was Lu Wenjie. He was the brother of Lu Wenshan, the head of the family guards.


    "Uncle Jie, how is the patriarch injured?


    "With the Patriarch''s cultivation, those magical beasts won''t be able to harm him in the slightest."


    Lu Feng asked.


    Lu Wenjie replied, "Replying to Second Young Master, the Patriarch has been fighting on the front lines for the past few days and has long been exhausted.


    Yesterday evening, when he was trying to save his brothers, the three magical beasts that were lurking in the shadows attacked him at the same time. Unknowingly, he suffered a loss.


    The patriarch has been recovering ever since he entered the room last night. Since he hasn''t come out, his injuries must be severe. "


    Experts at Lu Xiong''s level would not easily be injured, but once injured, it would be very troublesome under the influence of Qi.


    "Bring me there!"


    Lu Feng instructed.


    "Yes, Second Young Master, this way please!"


    Lu Wenjie bowed to Lu Feng, then led Lu Feng and the others into the yard.


    "Little Tiger, you wait outside to prevent the demon beasts from attacking again. Lu Cheng, you stay outside too. Lush, come with me."


    Lu Feng turned around and gave some instructions, then followed Lu Wenjie inside.


    Before long, the three of them arrived outside the secret room. Lu Wenjie stepped forward and respectfully knocked on the door.


    In the secret room, Lu Xiong was operating his cultivation to heal his injuries. Although he had not completely recovered, with the help of the elixirs, he was almost completely healed.


    Hearing someone knocking on the door, Lu Xiong''s heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened at the Manor? Otherwise, the guards wouldn''t dare disturb his recovery.


    "Come in!"


    Lu Xiong slowly stopped cultivating and shouted to the people outside.


    When the door opened, Lu Feng took the lead and stepped into the secret room.


    "Feng Er, why are you here?


    You came out of the Greencloud Mountain Range?


    Are you all right?


    It was good that he was fine! It was good that he was fine!


    Thank you so much for your blessings, ancestor! "


    Seeing Lu Feng''s familiar handsome face, Lu Xiong excitedly stood up and said one after another.


    "Father, I''m back.


    I''m fine, but you, you''re not in a very good situation right now. "


    As Lu Feng spoke, he walked in front of Lu Xiong and stretched out his hand, grabbing onto Lu Xiong''s wrist.


    Lu Xiong''s eyes widened in shock as he felt a wave of true essence enter his body. Was this still his naughty son who had no cultivation? How could there be such a pure inner force?


    After inspecting Lu Xiong''s body, Lu Feng reached out and took out a jade bottle. He took out a red-brown pill and said: "Father, your injuries cannot be ignored. Eat this pill first, I''ll help you condense the medicinal efficacy."


    Lu Xiong couldn''t even turn his head, he could only watch Lu Feng''s movements like a puppet.


    After a long while, Lu Xiong finally received the elixir from Lu Feng and said, "Feng''er, your cultivation ¡­"


    "Father, now is not the time to talk about those things. You should hurry up and take the medicine to heal your injuries.


    After we beat off the magical beasts, we''ll have a good talk with the father and son. "


    Lu Feng interrupted Lu Xiong''s words, speaking without a doubt.


    Lu Xiong thought about it, his son''s words were reasonable. Now that he was in danger, it was not the time to talk about such things.


    Moreover, Lu Xiong didn''t think that his own son would do him any harm.


    Therefore, without hesitation, Lu Xiong sat down cross-legged and put the pill that was so fragrant in his mouth.


    As the pill entered his stomach, Lu Xiong felt a wave of rich medicinal strength quickly disintegrate, moving towards his limbs and bones.


    At this time, Lu Xiong suddenly felt his back shake as a wave of thick true essence entered his body, guiding the medicinal energy to circulate. It was Lu Feng''s palms that helped Lu Xiong.


    Feeling his son''s concern, Lu Xiong quickly refocused his mind and fully circulated his cultivation technique. Combined with Lu Feng''s true essence, he was healing the injuries in his body.


    After the tea was brewed, Lu Feng withdrew his palms from Lu Xiong''s back.


    As for Lu Xiong, as he laughed loudly, he jumped up from the ground, completely recovered.

 C21 Orc

    "Feng Er, what pill did you give me just now?" How come I''ve never seen it before? "


    Feeling that his injuries had already recovered, Lu Xiong was delighted and asked Lu Feng doubtfully.


    "Father, that is a healing pellet I refined myself. It''s called the Small Revitalizing Pellet. Its function is to quickly heal injuries that aren''t too serious.


    "Oh right, Father, why do I feel that something is amiss with this magical beast invasion?"


    Lu Feng gave Lu Xiong a simple explanation, then asked him about the demon beast incident.


    Speaking of this matter, Lu Xiong''s heart was filled with doubts, "Feng''er, from the disturbance caused by the demon beasts this time to the surrounding cities and even the innate demon beasts'' sneak attacks, I can feel that there are some signs of people here.


    But, what I don''t understand is why they spent so much effort on this? "


    "Father, is there anyone on the continent who is proficient in controlling magical beasts?" Lu Feng asked.


    Lu Xiong frowned in thought for a moment, then said, "Legend has it that in the Tian Yuan Continent, there is a special kind of person with a special physique that can awaken a mysterious talent. With this talent, they will have the ability to control thousands of magical beasts, and they will be able to control thousands of magical beasts.


    However, beast speakers rarely appeared on the mainland, at least never in the history of our Greencloud City.


    Feng Er, do you mean that you suspect that Beast Speaker is targeting our Lu Family? "


    Lu Feng sneered and said, "Father, the situation might be even worse.


    Have you ever thought that this beast language user might be someone from our Lu Family? "


    "What did you say?"


    Lu Xiong stood up with a "hu" sound, and looked at Lu Feng in disbelief.


    Immediately after, Lu Xiong''s expression changed, as if he had thought of something.


    "Feng''er, don''t bring this up again.


    Why don''t you tell me how you came out of the Green Cloud Mountain?


    Also, with your current cultivation, you seem to have entered the Innate Realm. What''s going on? "


    After all, Lu Xiong was someone who had been through a lot of trouble, so he quickly calmed down and changed the topic.


    As for Lu Feng, he immediately understood Lu Xiong''s intentions. In the next moment, he began to tell Lu Xiong about his experiences in the Greencloud Mountain Range. The father and son duo tacitly cooperated.


    Of course, what Lu Feng told Lu Xiong was the same as what he said before, that he had fallen into the ravine. Coincidentally, due to a stroke of luck, he managed to develop the effects of the absolute body, and not only did he successfully step onto the path of cultivation, his talent was definitely not below Jiang Xin''s Xuan grade. As for the specific grade, due to the lack of a reference, Lu Feng did not know.


    Of course, in the depths of his heart, Lu Feng didn''t even care about the natural talents of this world. It was impossible for him to say such words to Lu Xiong, because they were simply too monstrous.


    After hearing Lu Feng''s explanation, Lu Xiong muttered to himself for a moment, then said with a serious face: "Feng''er, since you have this kind of opportunity, you should cherish it. You shouldn''t mess around like you did in the past.


    This way, I can pass the Lu Family down to you without worry in the future. "


    Lu Feng said expressionlessly, "Father, I was young and ignorant in the past, so I have let you worry about me."


    But don''t worry, I will train hard in the future and try to enter the yellow level as soon as possible.


    As for taking over the position of the Lu Family, you are still young and strong right now, so you should continue to work for another thirty to forty years. "


    It was rare for Lu Feng to make fun of Lu Xiong.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s somewhat childish words, Lu Xiong smiled and said, "Foolish boy, in another thirty to forty years, it is uncertain whether or not I will join you.


    Of course, you don''t have the heart to manage the affairs of the family right now. I can understand that with my old bones, I can work a few more years without any problems.


    Just remember, cultivate well and strengthen yourself as soon as possible. Just don''t let my Lu family break the inheritance.


    Sensing the deep love in Lu Xiong''s words, Lu Feng, who had never felt the warmth of his family, or rather, Tai Yi, fell silent.


    In his countless years of life, had he ever felt such an atmosphere?


    All that existed was a conflict between people.


    Even with his junior apprentice-sister, Nuwa, they had to take advantage of each other. They had to scheme against each other; true concern was extremely rare.


    "That''s right, father, do you know who this is?"


    It suddenly occurred to Lufeng that he had been too busy reminiscing about the old days with Lu Xiong that he had forgotten about Luru. No wonder he had always felt a wave of resentment towards her.


    Therefore, Lu Feng quickly turned around and pulled the little girl over as he spoke to Lu Xiong.


    "Isn''t this the girl from your courtyard? "I remember your name is Lirael, right?"


    Lu Xiong glanced at the little girl. He had a faint impression of her.


    "Yes, father, this is Loulou.


    But I have now taken her as my sister.


    That is to say, she is your daughter.


    "Quickly, Lush greets Father."


    Lu Lushui glanced at Lu Feng with a slightly reprimanded gaze. She timidly bowed towards Lu Xiong and said, "Greetings, Patriarch."


    When Lu Xiong saw that his son was in a good mood, he raised his hand to help support Lu Wei Rui, and said: "Since Feng Er recognizes this little sister of yours, then you are naturally my, Lu Xiong''s, daughter.


    The title of Patriarch is not what you should call him.


    Just as Feng Er said, call me father.


    Or perhaps, do you have any disagreements with me regarding the fact that you have taken me as your father? "


    Lu Xiong''s words dispelled the last sliver of worry in the little girl''s heart. She immediately knelt down on both knees and kowtowed on the ground, saying, "Daughter Lu Lushui greets Father!"


    "Hahaha!" Please get up.


    I am very happy today. Not only did I, Lu Xiong, get my son back, I even have a cute and lovely daughter.


    "Up till this point in my life, what more do I need?"


    Lu Xiong reached out his hands to help Luoluo up as he laughed heartily.


    "Greetings, little miss!"


    Lu Wenjie, who was standing beside her, was even more tactful. He immediately walked up to her and bowed respectfully.


    "Uncle Jie, I cannot accept your great gift.


    "Also, I''ll be like my brother from now on, calling you Uncle Jie. Do you have any objections?"


    Lu Yueru held out her hand to stop Lu Wenjie''s courtesy. She spoke with some embarrassment.


    "Report!"


    Clan leader, there''s been some movement from the magical beasts outside the manor, and several more powerful magical beasts have come. "


    Just as everyone was immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, a guard suddenly ran over and shouted loudly.


    "Come, let''s go out and take a look."


    Hearing this, Lu Xiong immediately remembered that the manor was still surrounded by the Magic Beasts and walked out.


    Lu Feng and Lu Wenjie, who had been accompanying him, looked at each other and followed after him.


    Arriving at the manor''s wall, Lu Xiong and the rest looked outside the city.


    At the front of the group were Green Wolf, Nine Tailed Fire Fox, and Demonic Scarlet Flame Spider. These three Demonic Beasts had already retreated to a later location, and replacing them were a white python, a huge lion that seemed to be clad in raging flames, a majestic bear, and a large, azure-eyed tiger with an aura similar to that of a small tiger.

 C22 Repel the Enemy

    "Hiss!"


    Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Xiong couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    "Feng''er, that white python is the famous Flying Python King in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, having the strength of a late stage Innate; the lion''s name is Raging Flames Lion, which is also a late stage Innate; the bear is a bear of the earth, a peak earth-type magical beast, a late stage Innate; the tiger is one of the kings of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, a blue-eyed tiger, whose strength is also at the late stage of the Innate realm.


    These four magical beasts were all the hegemons of the Greencloud Mountain Range. Why were they here at the same time?


    It looks like your guess just now was correct, there really is a Beast Speaker appearing.


    Furthermore, this Beast Speaker is still standing at the Lu family''s side, or in other words, the opposite of us father and son. "


    Lu Xiong said to Lu Feng with a heavy expression.


    Father, it''s just a magical beast. You don''t have to worry about it.


    Lu Feng said confidently.


    If the enemy used any other method, with his recently stabilized cultivation base at the early Foundation Establishment stage, he might not be a match. But if he used a magical beast, it would be like serving food to him.


    "Feng Er, you must not be careless. These magical beasts are no trivial matter. Even if it were me alone, it would be difficult for me to win against them, let alone someone who has just entered the Xiantian realm."


    Lu Xiong said with a worried expression.


    "Father, don''t worry. Since I said that, there must be a reason for me to do so.


    Well, wait a minute, I''ll be right back.


    Little Tiger, let''s go. "


    With a loud shout from Lu Feng, the tiger cub that was held by Lu Yueru jumped onto Lu Feng''s shoulder with a ''swoosh''.


    After that, Lu Feng jumped down from the wall and arrived before the magical beast.


    "Roar!"


    Before Lu Feng could say anything, Little Tiger who was standing on his shoulder suddenly jumped onto the ground, enlarged his body, and let out a long roar towards the sky.


    Looking once again at Xiaohu''s heroic appearance, regardless of whether it was humans or magical beasts, everyone below the city was surprised, especially the imposing aura emitted by Xiaohu. Even Lu Xiong, who was at the peak of the Xiantian realm, was visibly moved; he had never dreamed that a harmless looking kitten in his daughter''s arms was actually a top grade magical beast like the Jade-eyed Giant Tiger, whose strength had already reached the peak of the Xiantian realm.


    When the late stage Innate realm expert saw Xiao Hu reveal his true form, he could not help but take a few steps forward, but then stopped. His face revealed an endless struggle, and his eyes revealed a sense of urgency.


    Seeing this situation, Lu Feng understood. This Jade-Eyed Tiger should be an old friend of Little Tiger, but now that it was being controlled by him, he could not help it.


    "How dare you be so impudent in front of me, young master!"


    Lu Feng yelled out as his hand formed a spell sign. A green light shot out towards the azure-eyed tiger.


    "Break!"


    With a loud shout from Lu Feng, the cyan light seemed to have a mind of its own as it quickly circled around the Jade-Eyed Tiger and entered its head.


    "Roar!"


    With a roar, the green-eyed giant tiger suddenly roared, its body enlarged, and then immediately returned back to its normal form. Its face no longer struggled, and it quickly ran towards the small tiger.


    Seeing the jade-eyed tiger shake its head and move its tail, the tiger cub didn''t even look at it and continued to stare covetously at the remaining three magical beasts.


    The blue-eyed tiger ran over to Xiao Hu''s side and rubbed Xiao Hu''s neck in a fawning manner. It immediately turned around and joined Xiao Hu. It began to look at the three magical beasts with hostility and began to fight against them.


    Seeing that the Jade-Eyed Tiger had turned its back on the battle, the members of the Lu Family on the city wall were overjoyed. No one had thought that just by casting a spell, the Second Young Master would be able to increase their fighting strength and weaken the enemy''s strength.


    In a short period of time, Lu Feng''s figure had become a lot taller in the eyes of these guards. The image of a playboy from before had completely vanished.


    However, what Lu Feng didn''t know was that at this very moment, in the eyes of the guards, he had already undergone such a drastic change. Right now, he was thinking of a plan to defeat the enemy.


    From Lu Feng''s point of view, the so-called language of beasts in this world should be the kind of person with a strong innate mental strength. They would be able to use their mental strength to control the thoughts of demon beasts to the point that they would listen to their orders.


    In other words, Beast Speaker relied on the advantage of strong mental power to manipulate the magical beast, rather than being able to communicate with it. In other words, it was a manifestation of Beast Controlling Technique.


    From the moment Lu Feng untied the Jade Eye Tiger, he felt that the mysterious Beast Speaker''s strength had at least reached the peak of Xiantian or higher. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to simultaneously control so many powerful late Xiantian realm beasts.


    Right now, he had two Jade-Eyed Tigers on his side, plus Lu Xiong, a peak Xiantian master, and the mysterious method of breaking the bindings on those magical beasts. If the Beast Speaker wasn''t stupid, he would probably retreat, right?


    Of course, if the Speaker of the Beasts refused to retreat, Lu Feng would not be afraid of him.


    Not to mention top tier combat power, as long as someone could help Lu Feng delay it a little, then Lu Feng would be able to completely remove the binding force of those Xiantian level magical beasts.


    Now, it all depended on where the speaker would go.


    "Tsk tsk!"


    Amidst the eerie laughter, a strange man in a large black robe, with his head and neck completely hidden in a black cloak, suddenly appeared between the two of them.


    "This is bad!" A False Yellow Rank expert! "


    Lu Xiong let out a low growl, his figure jumped up from the city wall and quickly arrived beside Lu Feng, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.


    "What kind of expert are you? Why do you have to go against my Lu Family? "


    Lu Xiong asked in a deep voice.


    "Lu Family? Greencloud City''s number one family?


    Don''t you feel comfortable for too long?


    "Tsk tsk!"


    The strange man laughed. His tone was full of disdain towards the Lu family.


    "Looks like your esteemed self is an enemy, not a friend. If you have any intentions, draw a line. I''ll take it!" Lu Xiong shouted in a deep voice.


    "Humph!" The Lu family''s leader has a lot of authority!


    And the little bastard next to you, can actually break this old man''s spell?


    Today, I''ll spare your lives.


    However, I will not let your Lu family off! "


    After the strange man finished speaking, he moved his body and quickly disappeared from everyone''s sight. Accompanied by a series of sharp whistles, he headed in the direction of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    As the strange man''s cry rang out, the sea of magical beasts that had been gathering outside the manor began to retreat like a receding tide, gradually disappearing from sight.


    "That was close!"


    Lu Xiong secretly said. He turned his head to look at Lu Feng beside him and said: "Feng''er, did you find anything?"


    Lu Feng quietly stood there and nodded, saying, "Father, that strange man in a black robe should be a beast language speaker.


    It''s just that I don''t know why he''s here against our Lu family. "

 C23 Spirit Beast Pill

    "Feng Er, do you know the level of that person''s strength?"


    Lu Xiong asked.


    Lu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Father, if I''m not wrong, that person should have already reached the peak of the Xiantian realm. However, he hasn''t fully established himself at the Yellow Rank. He can be considered a False Yellow Rank expert."


    "That''s right, that person is a False Yellow Rank expert.


    I never thought that a pseudo-yellow rank expert would appear in such a remote place like Qingyun City. This is something that I have not seen in decades. "


    Lu Xiong said this to Lu Feng with certainty and sighed.


    "Father, now that the enemy has retreated, we should hurry up and clean up the manor."


    Seeing how preoccupied Lu Xiong was, Lu Feng couldn''t help but remind him.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Lu Xiong finally realized what was going on. Now was not the time to think about those things. It was better to quickly clean up the mess.


    After that, Lu Xiong sent people to rest, while he himself began instructing the guards and workers to restore order in the manor, returning to the daily routine as soon as possible.


    It should be known that in the past few days, the food and herbs grown by the several manors, although not destroyed by the magical beasts in a large area, still affected the supply of the family''s property. What Lu Xiong needed to do was to resume production as soon as possible, so that the impact of the magical beast incident on the family would be minimized.


    Of course, this time, although the Lu family had lost a group of people, there was almost no loss on the property, and there was even a surplus. Of course, this time, the Lu family may have lost a group of people, but there was almost no loss on the property, and there were even a surplus.


    What Lu Xiong needed to do now, other than bury the dead guards, was to send people to clean up the battlefield, sort out the magical beast corpses, and fill up the family''s warehouse.


    Although Lu Feng had been arranged by Lu Xiong to rest, where could he sit? Instead, he brought Loulan Slash, riding Little Tiger and the other huge, azure-eyed tiger that he had recently returned to, and started to wander around the manor.


    Looking at the intimate appearance of the two azure-eyed tigers, Lu Feng suddenly realized that he didn''t pay attention to Little Tiger''s gender.


    Could it be that Little Tiger is a real tigress? From the looks of it, it was possible.


    As the old saying goes, a mountain cannot hold two tigers, unless it is a man and a mother.


    Looks like when I first came to your territory, I did something like beating up a mandarin duck, and I forcefully separated the two.


    Now that the couple had reunited, it could be considered as making up for his mistake.


    Even Lu Feng himself did not realize that his current state of mind was no longer the same arrogant and almighty Celestial Emperor from his previous life. Instead, he was more like an ordinary person with an innate transcendence.


    Lu Feng was mounted on the tiger''s back, looking around as he guessed.


    Suddenly, a strangely shaped plant entered Lu Feng''s line of sight.


    It was a very small plant with only a few leaves, dark in color. At the top, it looked like two people holding a golden fruit with black stripes.


    The whole plant stood quietly in the corner of the wall.


    The strangest thing was, within a few meters of the plant, there was no other plant. Not even a single blade of grass could be seen.


    The Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit!


    Lu Feng recognized it at a glance. It was a Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit.


    In Lu Feng''s previous life, he had seen this plant before in the Earth Immortal Realm. It grew in places with dense death aura and was highly toxic.


    However, the reason why the Blazing Flame Spirit Gold Fruit could be remembered by Lu Feng was because of its unique effects. If one could find a way to purify the poison, they could use it to refine a pill.


    As the co-owner of the demon clan, Lu Feng had even specially collected the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit for a period of time. His goal was to quickly convert those low-leveled demon beasts and use them as cannon fodder.


    Now that he saw the Blazing Spirit Gold Fruit once again, Lu Feng was naturally very happy. This small fruit was enough for him to refine a batch of Beast Pills.


    At that time, Xiao Hu and his wife would be able to open their wisdom and officially enter the ranks of the demon beasts. Their strength would also greatly increase, and it would not be a problem to say that they were not weaker than that mysterious beast speaker.


    He reached out his hand and called over a farmer that was collecting demon beast corpses. Lu Feng pointed at the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit and asked, "What is the purpose of this plant?"


    When the farmer saw Lu Feng, the second young master, he was slightly excited. Hearing Lu Feng''s words, he immediately said respectfully: "Second Young Master, these things have been growing here for many years.


    None of us knew what it was for, or its name.


    In the beginning, no one paid much attention to it. No one knew when it had grown up.


    However, as it grew older, strange phenomena began to appear. For example, if there were no living things, be it animals or plants, as long as they got within its vicinity, they would die quickly.


    Later, we tried to get rid of him, but the steward wouldn''t let us, saying that since we didn''t know what it was for, we''d let it grow first, since it wouldn''t take up much space anyway.


    This matter had already been reported to the old master, but he didn''t know where it came from. Thus, he specifically instructed the old master not to care about its growth, and to avoid any living creatures from getting too close to it.


    So many years have passed, but I never would have thought that it would bear a fruit. "


    The farmer looked to be around 60 years old. After hearing Lu Feng''s question, he started talking non-stop.


    "Brother, do you recognize this plant?"


    At this moment, Lu Lulong noticed the situation over at Lu Feng''s side and ran over curiously.


    "Thank you, old man. Go back to your work."


    Lu Feng waved away the farmer, then turned to Lu Lului and said, "I really do know her.


    The secret manual that the senior left for me to refine pills is about this plant. From the looks of it, it should be this plant. "


    "Then what is its name? It really looks ugly! "


    Loulou asks.


    "It is called the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit.


    It could refine a very magical pill.


    Of course, the condition would be to neutralize the corpse poison in its body. "


    Lu Feng explained.


    "Corpse poison?" Loulou is surprised.


    "Yes, corpse poison."


    In the past, there must have been a powerful magical beast that had fallen there, which was why the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit had fallen there. " Lu Feng said.


    "Then what kind of pill can it refine?" Loulou asks.


    "Those pills are called Spirit Beast Pills, and they can help Little Tiger and the others awaken their intelligence in advance. They can even speak the human tongue, and they will be very helpful in his future appearance." Lu Feng said.


    "Manifest? Isn''t that something only a Heaven Class magical beast can do? " Loulou asks.


    "With it, Little Tiger''s transformation can be advanced, and they won''t even need to use the Earth Stage."


    Lu Feng secretly compared the cultivation levels of this world. They were almost at the Spirit Severing stage, and after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they wouldn''t be able to fully materialize. That was why he said that.

 C24 Yellow Rank Magical Beast

    While giving an explanation to Lu Lili, Lu Feng stretched out his hand and put the Gold Fruit of Flaming Spirit Fruit into his palm, then played with it between his fingers.


    Looking at the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit that was shrouded in black gas, Lu Lulong asked in disbelief, "Brother, are you sure this thing can concoct pills and not harm people?"


    Lu Feng smiled, "You''ll know the effect once I refine it. Little girl, you still dare to doubt your brother?"


    Currently, Lu Feng was wandering around the herb fields that the manor belonged to. He picked a bunch of herbs and even found Lu Wenjie to help him find some of the ones that had already been prepared.


    In the end, Lu Feng took a few Magic Cores of Houtian level Magic Beasts and some other materials from other Magic Beasts. Including the herbs he had picked previously, there were more than a hundred of them.


    Arriving at a quiet room, Lu Feng placed all one hundred or so materials on the ground. With a wave of his hand, an ancient looking small cauldron appeared out of nowhere in the air.


    Under Lu Lushui''s surprised gaze, Lu Feng cast a spell and pointed at the cauldron. A blazing flame appeared on the surface of the cauldron, which quickly enlarged and wrapped around the cauldron.


    Then, Lu Feng waved his hand and opened the lid, throwing the dark Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit into the cauldron.


    After the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit in the cauldron had turned into a mass of black gas, Lu Feng waved his hands and poured in a lot of materials from the magical beasts, such as spider teeth, venom sac, and the tail of a demon scorpion.


    Immediately afterwards, Lu Feng threw in the few Magic Cores.


    After that, Lu Feng once again cast the spell, pushing the flame under the cauldron to its maximum capacity, and continuously refining the various ingredients in the cauldron.


    Under Lu Feng''s continuous attacks, the mixed black air within the spirit fruit began to disappear bit by bit. In the end, it even disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a golden colored liquid floating within the cauldron.


    At this point, Lu Feng heaved a long sigh of relief. The black gas had disappeared, which meant that the corpse poison on the spirit fruit had been completely eliminated. Now, the true refinement of the Beast Pill was about to begin.


    As more and more medicinal herbs were thrown into the cauldron, Lu Feng was controlling the flame under the cauldron. Sometimes large and sometimes small, constantly refining and fusing with each other.


    After all the medicinal ingredients were thrown into the cauldron, Lu Feng opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Samadhi True Fire. He then joined in the fire and accelerated the fusion of the medicinal liquids in the cauldron.


    After continuously chanting a few techniques, Lu Feng stopped and stood there quietly, looking at the Tripartite Cauldron wrapped in raging flames.


    "Brother, did you succeed?"


    Seeing that Lu Feng had stopped, Lu Yueru asked anxiously.


    "Soon!"


    Lu Feng didn''t even turn his head around. He continued to look at the Trinity Cauldron while silently calculating the time.


    Several breaths later, Lu Feng''s hands quickly moved and he once again released a series of spell chants.


    "Withdraw!"


    Lu Feng gave a loud shout, and the fire under the tripod abruptly stopped.


    Following that, the cauldron lid shook three times, and a wave of fragrant mist dispersed.


    "Done!"


    Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lu Feng said to Lu Lulong.


    In his previous life, the Spirit Beast Pill was an incomparably low level pill for Lu Feng. However, with Lu Feng''s current cultivation, and the many different things he used in his previous life, this refinement still consumed a great deal of his mental energy, making him feel very tired.


    Taking out a jade bottle, Lu Feng waved his hand and the lid of the Trinity Cauldron flew up. Three golden elixirs the size of longan flew out from the cauldron and into the jade bottle in Lu Feng''s hands.


    Putting away the Tripartite Cauldron on the ground, Lu Feng said to Lu Yueru, "Little girl, now I''ll let you have a look at the true effects of this Spirit Beast Pill."


    With that, Lu Feng walked into the yard first. He poured out two pills and threw them at the two Jade-Eyed Tigers that were playing by the wall.


    Looking at the two pills that were shooting towards him, the two Jade-Eyed Tigers took a leap in the air and grabbed one pill each and swallowed it without hesitation.


    After the pill entered their stomachs, the two tigers that had fallen to the ground suddenly roared in pain. Their expressions became extremely ferocious and their auras also continued to climb. At the same time, the countless amounts of spiritual energy in the world began to gather in this small courtyard.


    Seeing the worry on the little girl''s face, Lu Feng held her hand and said, "Don''t worry, they are breaking through. It won''t be long."


    As the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth continued to gather, the figures of the two Jade-Eyed Tigers grew larger and their auras grew stronger.


    Finally, it seemed that he had reached a critical point. Little Tiger''s aura no longer increased, but the endless heaven and earth spiritual energy still crazily flowed into Little Tiger''s body.


    "Roar!"


    Little Tiger roared in pain, his eyes showing his endless struggle.


    It seemed that the Jade-Eyed Tiger''s aptitude was still insufficient to receive even a small beast core.


    Inwardly shaking his head and sighing, Lu Feng knew that if he didn''t act now, Xiao Hu would most likely die from the explosion.


    Forget it, let''s help them to the end.


    Lu Feng raised his hands and chanted a spell. A mass of green gas gushed out of his body and wrapped around Little Tiger''s entire body.


    "Roar!"


    Little Tiger''s roar this time actually made people feel a bit comfortable.


    Soon after, Xiaohu''s aura suddenly skyrocketed as an overwhelming pressure came crashing down on the brother and sister duo. However, in front of Lu Feng, the pressure dispersed as if it met a barrier.


    "Roar!"


    Little Tiger roared again, and all his pressure also disappeared.


    Looking at the Little Tiger in the middle of the field, he had already transformed into the form of a small kitten, dashing towards Lu Feng''s shoulder at lightning speed.


    "Master, thank you!"


    A childish little girl''s voice suddenly rang in Lu Feng''s and Loulan Slash''s ears.


    "Ah, big brother, Xiaohu is talking!"


    Lu Lului exclaimed, as she reached out to pull Little Tiger into her arms again.


    Lu Feng, on the other hand, was not surprised. Xiao Hu had just finished his breakthrough after consuming the Spirit Beast Pill. If he still could not speak, then he would be sorry for the effort he put in.


    However, what made Lu Feng depressed was that Little Tiger was actually a female tiger. As the master of a pet beast, he didn''t even know whether the pet beast was male or female. This was a bit too embarrassing.


    He temporarily ignored Little Tiger and Lu Rui, as Lu Feng once again cast a spell to help the other Jade-Eyed Tiger break through.


    After the two azure-eyed tigers had completed their breakthrough and turned into kittens, Lu Feng asked, "Little Tiger, what''s the level of strength you guys have now?"


    "Master, I''m already middle stage Yellow Rank!" Little Tiger said excitedly.


    "Master, I''m an early stage Yellow Rank!" The tiger''s voice sounded like it belonged to a seven or eight year old boy.


    "Little Tiger, what''s the relationship between the two of you?" Lu Feng asked curiously.


    "Master, he''s been chasing after me, but I haven''t agreed yet."


    Little Tiger''s voice revealed a shyness.


    Lu Tieshan was a tigress, yet he was still acting coquettishly even though he called himself ''someone else''. Wasn''t this too chaotic?

 C25 Back to Town

    With great difficulty, Lu Feng calmed himself down and said: "Xiao Hu, I made a small mistake before, I didn''t know your gender, so I gave you Xiao Hu''s name.


    Now, let me formally ask you, do you need to change your name? "


    "Aiya, Master, you''re so annoying! "He actually doesn''t know that I''m a girl!"


    Little Tiger''s coquettish tone once again caused Lu Feng to be extremely anxious.


    "Alright, I shall now appoint you as the twin tiger guards of both sexes in the name of the Eastern Emperor.


    Your name is Xiao Yu, and you will temporarily protect the little miss from behind.


    Your name is Little Tiger, and you will temporarily follow this emperor! "


    Lu Feng''s expression turned serious, and his aura turned cold as he said in a deep voice.


    "Yes, thank you for the name!"


    The two huge, green eyed tigers in the shape of kittens both jumped in front of Lu Feng and respectfully said while pretending to kneel.


    Lu Feng also did the same. He changed Little Tiger''s name to Xiao Yu and gave the male tiger his name. He also gave them the title of twin tiger guards.


    "Big brother, what is an Eastern Emperor? Why do you want to use the Eastern Emperor''s name? " Lu Lili asked curiously.


    Lu Feng was at a loss for words. How could he explain this?


    "Oh, it''s like this. The Eastern Emperor is a nickname that big brother gave himself. It can also be considered a special title."


    After thinking for a long time, Lu Feng said half-heartedly.


    "Oh!"


    Although Loulan Slash was not satisfied with the answer, she didn''t press the issue.


    "Feng, Liru, are you alright?


    I just heard what seemed to be the roars of the Jade-Eyed Tiger. Did something happen? "


    At this moment, Lu Xiong, who had heard the commotion a moment ago, quickly walked over and asked in concern.


    "Father, it''s alright. Just now, brother concocted two Spirit Beast Pills to help Xiao Yu and the others break through."


    "Look, Xiao Yu is already a Yellow Ranked magical beast."


    Seeing Lu Xiong coming over, Lu Lushui skipped over to Lu Xiong''s side, as if she was offering a treasure, and showed the little jade in her arms to Lu Xiong.


    As a peak Xiantian master, Lu Xiong''s eyesight naturally couldn''t be compared to that of ordinary people. With a single glance, he could tell that the little kitten that Lu Yueru handed to him was the peak Xiantian Blue Eyed Tiger.


    However, just as Lu Lushui had said, the aura on this Jade-Eyed Tiger''s body had gone from its previous violent state to a deeper and more restrained one. It was obvious that it had officially advanced, and from the looks of it, it was not as simple as just having recently advanced.


    This time, Lu Xiong was curious. What kind of existence was the Beast Pills that Lu Lulong spoke of? Just what kind of existence could cause a magical beast to break through the limits of its aptitude and raise it by two levels in a row?


    "Feng''er, Hua Rui, what is a Spirit Beast Pill?" Lu Xiong asked.


    "Father, it''s like this. We just found a strange plant outside. Brother said that it''s a Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit that can be refined into a beast core to help Xiao Yu and the others advance in their cultivation."


    "The commotion just now was caused by Xiao Yu and Xiao Hu after they consumed the Spirit Beast Pill to advance to the next stage." Lu Wei Rui chattered on as she explained to Lu Xiong.


    After listening to Lu Haoran''s explanation, Lu Xiong turned to look at Lu Feng with an inquiring look.


    Faced with Lu Xiong''s probing, Lu Feng nodded his head and said, "Father, the senior that saved me left me a secret manual for refining pills.


    The refining method of the Blazing Spirit Golden Fruit was recorded within.


    Just now, I used that method to refine the Blazing Flame Spirit Gold Fruit into three beast cores. Two of them have already been consumed by Little Tiger and Little Jade, contributing to their advancement.


    Right now, Xiao Hu was an early stage Yellow Rank and Xiao Yu was a middle stage Yellow Rank. Both of them were top grade magical beasts, and they were intelligent enough to speak in the human tongue.


    "Father, this time our Lu Family has two more top class warriors. Even if we have to face the City Lord''s Mansion''s provocation, we still have the strength to fight back."


    Lu Xiong looked at the male tiger on Lu Feng''s shoulder ¨C Little Tiger, Lu Xiong said, "Feng Er, what do you plan on doing with these two Jade Eye Tigers?"


    Lu Feng said, "Father, I think so. Lush has just started cultivating and still lacks the necessary ability to protect herself. Therefore, let Xiao Yu temporarily stay by her side and be her companion."


    As for Xiao Hu, I want to temporarily hide him, not letting others know of his existence, or letting others have the impression that he is at the peak of Xiantian.


    This way, if our Lu Family encounters a crisis, the two of them can use it as a trump card to save our Lu Family.


    Father, what do you think of my considerations? "


    "Feng''er, you have finally grown up and I have not failed your mother''s wish!


    "As you wish."


    Facing Lu Feng''s confident speech, Lu Xiong said as if he was an old lieutenant.


    "Father, what should we do next?"


    Lu Feng didn''t have much of an impression of Lu Xiong''s praise. As a former Celestial Emperor, if he didn''t even have this little bit of knowledge, then he might as well smash his head into the wall and be delighted.


    "Feng, Liru, now that the reconstruction of the manor is on track, what''s left is only a matter of time.


    As for us, there was no point in continuing to stay here.


    Therefore, I think that we should head back to the Greencloud City this afternoon.


    Sigh, I''ve been away from home for a few days already. I wonder what kind of situation the clan is in now. "


    Lu Xiong said worriedly.


    "Father, when you were trapped this time, the family did not send any reinforcements, nor did they show any expressions. They even sealed off this news.


    What do you think of that? "


    Lu Feng asked in a low voice.


    Lu Xiong had considered this question before, and from the looks of it, there was someone in the family who was dissatisfied with him.


    Combined with the sudden attack of the magical beasts and the appearance of the mysterious beast speaker, Lu Xiong believed that there was a secret wave that was going to affect the Lu family and the father-son pair.


    However, as the head of the Lu Family, Lu Xiong could not use a catch in the wind or catch in the shadows to handle matters. Instead, he had to bring out real evidence, or else the entire family would panic.


    Therefore, Lu Xiong believed that this matter should not be revealed for the time being. Instead, he should let it go and wait to see what his enemies would do next. When that time came, he could deal with it.


    Of course, Lu Xiong wouldn''t tell Lu Fengming about these considerations. As a father, although Lu Xiong had a kind personality, but as a natural duty of shielding his children from the rain, he was still quite outstanding.


    Immediately, Lu Xiong said, "Feng''er, leave the few Jade-Eyed Tiger Beasts that you just subdued here to strengthen the manor''s defenses. As for the others, after we return to the city, I will take care of them myself.


    Remember, training and improving your strength is the way to go.


    As for the storm within the family, your father will be able to cover it for you.


    And you, Lush, you have to follow your brother and cultivate well so that you can grow as fast as possible. "


    Faced with Lu Xiong''s kindness, Lu Feng and Lu Lului could only put their feelings aside for the time being, even though they had thousands of words to say to each other.

 C26 Family Competition

    That afternoon, Lu Xiong brought his personal bodyguards, as well as Lu Feng, Lu Yueru, and Lu Feng''s personal bodyguards, along with Lu Cheng. The group of more than ten people rode fast horses and safely returned to Greencloud City.


    Because they didn''t know that Lu Xiong was in danger, the Lu family didn''t have much of a reaction to Lu Xiong''s return.


    After returning to the Lu Manor, Lu Xiong didn''t stop there and called for the elders and stewards of the Lu Family to gather together. He prepared to hold a family meeting.


    The eldest son of Lu Xiong, the next generation''s first-in-line successor, Lu Feng was duty-bound to participate in this meeting.


    Moreover, according to Lu Xiong, this meeting also needed to clarify Lu Feng''s identity and establish his position within the family.


    Following Lu Xiong into the spacious meeting hall, Lu Feng expressionlessly sat beside Lu Xiong, coldly watching every elder that entered.


    In this generation of Lu Xiong, there were a total of seventeen elders, plus some stewards and commanders, in a short while, fifty to sixty people sat in the meeting hall, looking like they were all gathered together.


    Sitting at the front desk with Lu Xiong was Lu Feng, the Young Patriarch, as well as the six Elders in the top six. Without exception, all of these Elders had cultivations above Xiantian realm.


    When Grand Elder Lu Wei walked into the main hall, Lu Feng intentionally stared at him and sized him up. Other than noticing that Grand Elder''s face was slightly ashen, he didn''t discover anything else.


    However, Lu Feng had always suspected that when Lu Xiong was out in the open, the Great Elder, who was temporarily the Patriarch, would be very suspicious. This was because he had concealed the truth of Lu Xiong''s predicament and did not send out any reinforcements, which did not exclude the possibility of him wanting to use the magical beasts to get rid of Lu Xiong, the Patriarch.


    Moreover, at that time, there was also the matter of Lu Feng being expelled into the Green Cloud Mountain Range. If something happened to Lu Xiong, then the hundred year old Lu Clan wouldn''t fall into the hands of Lu Wei, the Great Elder.


    If the Great Elder tried to rope in a few more elders, not to mention the others, the Third Elder who had his butler crippled by Lu Feng would definitely stand on the side of the Great Elder.


    At that time, it would not be impossible for the few Great Elders to work together and push the Great Elder to the seat of the Patriarch.


    "Grand Elder, your expression isn''t good. Are you injured?"


    Upon seeing the Great Elder walk in, Lu Xiong immediately noticed that something was amiss and intentionally pretended to be concerned about him as he asked.


    "Cough, cough!"


    The Great Elder coughed twice and said indifferently:


    "I was cultivating yesterday, so my zhenqi deviated slightly and caused a backlash.


    But don''t worry, I''ve already consumed the pill and it won''t be long before I recover.


    Thank you, Patriarch, for your concern.


    However, Clan Head, you seem to be in high spirits. The matter of the magical beasts attacking the city should have been resolved perfectly, right? "


    Old fox!


    In addition, he was originally not on good terms with the Great Elder''s group. As a result, towards the Great Elder''s way of handling things, Lu Xiong felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it, especially when the Great Elder brought up the matter of the Demon Beasts assaulting him.


    "It has already been settled, there''s no need for Great Elder to remember."


    This was precisely the scene of Lu Xiong and the Great Elder at this moment.


    After dealing with the Great Elder, Lu Xiong looked down at the pillars of the various families, knocked on the table, and said: "Chief Steward, check the number of people, and see if anyone hasn''t arrived yet."


    After some investigation, the Chief Steward said to Lu Xiong, "Reporting to the Patriarch, other than the Third Elder''s Third Steward, due to his heavy injuries, everyone else is here."


    As for the third housekeeper being injured, Lu Xiong had already received Lu Feng''s explanation. Thus, he did not express too much, but said: "Since that''s the case, then we''ll officially meet.


    First of all, several manors on the north side of the city had previously been attacked by magical beasts. Now, all of the magical beasts had been repelled, and the order of the manors had returned to normal.


    During the process of resisting the magical beast invasion, my Lu family had a total of seven guards and fifteen farmers. They were viciously attacked by the magical beast and sacrificed their lives for the family.


    Chief Steward, after the meeting with these 22 people, you must make the appropriate compensation according to the rules of the clan.


    No one has any objections to this matter, right? "


    As he spoke, Lu Xiong looked around.


    Seeing that no one said anything, Lu Xiong continued to speak: "The second matter is regarding the Young Patriarch.


    Lu Feng, my son, the first-in-line successor of the Lu family. Earlier, he was framed by a traitor and did something that shamed the family.


    To this end, I made an agreement with the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Tianlei, to chase him into the mountains, leaving him to fend for himself.


    But, Heaven bless Lu Feng, he had a fortuitous encounter in the Greencloud Mountain Range. He successfully broke through the blockade of the countless magical beasts and returned to the Greencloud City without a hitch.


    Since Lu Feng did not have any cultivation base before, he was unable to handle the matters of the clan at that time. But now, he had successfully advanced to the Xiantian realm, suppressing all the young talents in the Greencloud City.


    Thus, I have decided to restore my authority as the first-in-line successor of the Lu Feng family. From today onwards, Lu Feng will officially assume the position of the Young Patriarch.


    If I were to go out on some business, then all of the clan matters would be decided by the Young Patriarch, with the assistance of the Elder''s Hall.


    Do you have any objections? "


    Against Lu Xiong''s expectations, the Great Elder, who should have opposed this suggestion, actually chose to remain silent.


    Seeing that Lu Feng''s appointment had been successfully passed, Lu Xiong was overjoyed and secretly increased his vigilance.


    Originally, Lu Xiong had thought that his appointment of Lu Feng would be a disguised weakening of the Great Elder''s authority. This would definitely arouse fierce opposition from the Great Elder. This was also Lu Xiong testing the Great Elder.


    However, now that Lu Feng''s appointment had been approved, it could be considered a good thing. At the very least, Lu Feng had confirmed his position as the Young Master of the Lu Feng Family.


    "Grand Elder, I''ve been absent from the family for the past few days, and the news has been a little out of the ordinary. Now, come and tell everyone what has happened in Greencloud City."


    On the surface, Lu Xiong still had to show his respect to the Great Elder. Thus, after saying his two matters, Lu Xiong took the initiative to hand over the rights to the Great Elder.


    The Great Elder''s eyes were wide open as he scanned the area. He said, "These few days, there''s nothing important. It''s just that ¡­ Heavenly Star Academy is planning to recruit a group of students from our city."


    Because of this, the mayor of the city, Mo Wuji, specially gathered a few large families to discuss and decided to give each clan five spots to participate in the selection.


    Among our Lu Family''s younger generation, Lu Yi and the Third Elder''s daughter Lu Zhen have the most outstanding cultivation.


    Of course, right now, there was also the addition of Lu Feng.


    All three could be candidates for the family selection.


    However, the remaining two candidates were a bit more difficult.


    After consultation with the elders, we agreed to hold the Family Competition and decide on the top five to participate in this selection.


    I wonder what Patriarch thinks of this decision? "

 C27 Beginning of Large Competition

    Hearing the Great Elder''s words, Lu Xiong suddenly came to a realization. No wonder the Great Elder was so apathetic towards Lu Feng''s appointment. So he was holding back?


    Since the Heavenly Star Academy was here to recruit students, Lu Xiong, this father of his, naturally wouldn''t hold up his son''s future prospects. Coupled with Lu Feng''s current situation, entering the Heavenly Star Academy was an absolute certainty.


    In other words, Lu Xiong''s previous plans for Lu Feng had already lost all meaning.


    Once Lu Feng left Greencloud City, wouldn''t it be easy for the Great Elder and the rest to deal with him?


    Even if it were him, if he were to be attacked again by the previous magical beasts, the odds were against him.


    In this way, the Great Elder could naturally easily control the entire Lu family.


    Humph! What a good plan!


    Lu Xiong was annoyed, but he maintained his composure on the surface.


    "Is the Heavenly Star Academy about to begin recruiting new students?


    This is a good thing for our Greencloud City!


    Although Greencloud City was not bad, it was located in a remote area, and its products were scarce. With the rampant number of demonic beasts, it was one of the edge regions of the continent.


    In comparison, Heavenly Star City is much better. Although it isn''t the most important city on the continent, it is still one of the top cities in the surrounding thousands of miles.


    If the children of the family could enter the school, it would be of great help to them in increasing their strength and broadening their horizons.


    Of course, there was a limit to the number of students that could be recruited into the Sky Star Academy. It was impossible for all of the students to have the opportunity to join.


    Thus, I personally agree with what the Great Elder said about the Family Competition.


    In addition, I propose that the clan make an appearance and organize this Large Competition, and also give a reward to the top five of the Large Competition.


    As for the content of the rewards, they could include cultivation methods, martial skills, pills, weapons, money, etc.


    For this point, we will have to come up with a plan, does anyone have any objections? "


    Lu Xiong faced the family''s backbone in the meeting room as he said loudly.


    After some discussion, the final decision was made:


    The competition was set to be held in three days. The top five would receive a certain amount of money. Besides that, there were also pills, weapons and other cultivation materials of different grades for them to choose from.


    After the meeting, Lu Xiong took Lu Feng back to his own yard.


    "Feng Er, are you confident about this time''s Large Competition?"


    Lu Xiong said to Lu Feng with a serious face.


    Lu Feng said expressionlessly: "Father, with my cultivation at the early stage of the Innate realm, do you think that the young generation of Greencloud City will have a match for me?


    As for those trash from our family, not to mention they don''t have a Xiantian realm expert, even if they do, they might not be stronger than Mo Wuji! "


    Lu Feng''s words revealed an incomparable amount of confidence.


    "That''s good!


    Remember, do not be arrogant!


    The so-called lion fight with the rabbit using all of its strength, do not underestimate your own opponent at any time! "


    Although Lu Xiong was very satisfied with his son''s confidence, he still taught him with his words.


    After bidding farewell to Lu Xiong, Lu Feng returned to his own courtyard. While instructing Lu Yueru on her cultivation, he also put in more effort to improve his own cultivation, especially the tempering of his body by the Demon Emperor''s Shuntian Incantation. Lu Feng did not forget that every day.


    Moreover, after adapting for a while, Lu Feng''s development of the Heaven''s End Tyrant Body had approached perfection.


    Right now, Lu Feng''s physical strength was almost comparable to a body cultivator of the Yellow Rank. An ordinary weapon wouldn''t be able to harm him in the slightest.


    At the same time, the news of the Family Competition had already spread throughout the entire Lu Family. All of the Lu Family''s disciples who were qualified to participate in this year''s competition were all rubbing their hands together.


    One had to know that in the cultivation world of the Tian Yuan Continent, other than the cultivation resources of heavenly materials, one also had to look at cultivation techniques and martial skills. For a small place like the Greencloud City, having a cultivation technique at the peak of the Yellow Rank was already considered a family heirloom.


    Sky Star Academy, according to the legends, not only had countless Yellow Rank martial skills and cultivation techniques, but even Profound Rank martial skills were common. It was even rumored that all the directors of Sky Star Academy practiced Earth Rank cultivation techniques.


    Furthermore, not only was Heavenly Star City larger than Greencloud City, the various cultivation resources that circulated within the city were not something that a small and remote city like Greencloud City could compare with.


    For those from influential clans in Greencloud City, entering the Skystar Institution to practice even more profound cultivation techniques and martial skills was an absolute honor and a matter of honor to those from influential clans.


    Time passed slowly just like this. Three days passed by in a flash. The curtain finally opened on the Lu Family''s Large Competition.


    On this day, the clouds were clear and the sky was high. Hundreds of Lu Family disciples were gathered in the spacious drill ground in the backyard.


    For this competition, not only had Lu Xiong personally become the head of the judgement committee, but he had also recruited two people from the group of Highest Elders to act as judges.


    These two Supreme Elders were Lu Xiong''s uncles. Their cultivations were both at the peak of Xiantian, infinitely close to reaching the Yellow Rank. However, because their family did not have any higher level cultivation technique, they were unable to find an opportunity to break through.


    In fact, many people on the Tian Yuan Continent had been stuck at the bottleneck from the Xiantian to the Yellow Rank for their entire lives. They had no choice but to die with hatred in their hearts.


    In the morning, Lu Xiong led the group of eight judges, including the two Supreme Elders and the Great Elder, to the podium and sat down.


    As for Lu Xiong, he slowly walked to the center of the stage and said in a loud voice, "All members of the Lu Family''s sons and daughters, it seems that every dozen years or so, the Sky Star Academy will recruit disciples from our Greencloud City.


    And as everyone knew, entering the Heavenly Star Academy meant that a martial artist could have access to higher levels of cultivation techniques and martial skills.


    Hence, this was a rare opportunity for the people of Greencloud City.


    As for me, a son of the Lu family, I am also one of the best in the city, so I naturally do not fall behind.


    However, the admission standards for the Sky Star Academy had always been very strict, and their spots were limited as well. It was impossible for them to take care of everyone.


    For example, this time, our Lu Family, as the strongest family in the Greencloud City, only got five slots to participate in the selection.


    Compared to the clan''s hundreds of disciples that were suitable for participating in the selection, these spots were extremely precious.


    In order to ensure that those participating in the selection are the true elites of our Lu Family, I had a series of discussions with the elders'' yard and decided to hold this year''s Family Competition.


    As long as he could get in the top five, no matter who it was, the family would give him the spot for the selection.


    At the same time, the family would hand over a sum of money and various cultivation resources, including pills, weapons, materials, and so on. They would reward these five disciples with excellent results in order to pay tribute to their contributions to the family.


    Moreover, as long as they could be selected by the Skystar Academy, the clan would reward them even more handsomely.


    Therefore, children, take out your true strength and compete for these spots.


    "Now, I announce that the Family Competition has officially begun."

 C28 First Round

    After Lu Xiong retreated and took his seat, the Great Elder walked up to the front of the stage and waved his hand to release a green colored rock that was about ten feet tall in front of everyone on the stage.


    After the huge rock appeared, the Head Elder said loudly, "The first stage of the Heavenly Star Academy''s disciple recruitment test is a pure fist or palm strength test.


    The giant rock that everyone saw was a Strength Measuring Rock that the family had paid a high price to buy.


    This Strength Measuring Rock could measure up to 200,000 Jin of strength.


    The specific method to use it was to store all of one''s strength and hit the Strength Measuring Rock. Martial skills were not allowed to be used during this period of time.


    After that, the Strength Measuring Rock would emit a seven-colored ring of light, and the color would be red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple. Each ring of light represented the strength of 10,000 jins.


    Next, according to the order in which the deacon called out the names, all of you will step forward and test your strength. The next round will be filled with five rings of light and those who are unable to do so will automatically lose the right to continue participating.


    Hearing the introduction given by the Great Elder, the disciples below the stage were all eager to give it a try. However, there were a few who shook their heads in disappointment.


    Speaking of which, the threshold of fifty thousand Jin wasn''t that high.


    A normal late stage Body Refinement Cultivator would have a strength of around 30,000 Jin. Once they entered the Pre-Sky Realm, reaching 40,000 Jin should not be a problem.


    With a weight of 50,000 jins, a late Houtian realm martial artist would definitely be able to achieve this.


    However, as everyone knows, palm strength is not only your strength, it is also related to your explosive strength and body''s endurance.


    Strength was relative. No matter how much power a weak person had, they would not be able to fully display it because they could not withstand the powerful rebound.


    Under normal circumstances, as long as one''s fist and palm strength passed the mark, it would mean that the cultivator''s physical fitness had passed the mark and could completely adapt to higher level martial skill cultivation techniques.


    It was precisely because of this that many examinations used the strength of one''s fist as the first stage.


    Moreover, although the Lu family was considered a tyrant in Greencloud City, there weren''t that many late Houtian realm masters in the family, especially among the younger generation. At their age, reaching the middle Houtian realm was already an incredible feat.


    Moreover, a Xiantian master''s strength was not much stronger than a Houtian master. This was because after entering the Xiantian realm, one''s origin energy reserves and the quality of the true essence in their body would be enhanced, making the strength of their body almost negligible.


    On the stage, after the grand elder had announced all the rules, he returned to his seat and a deacon of the family came up to the stage. He took out a namelist and began to order the disciples to go on stage to take their tests.


    One by one, the Lu Family disciples who had been called by name stepped onto the stage and smashed their fist, which was filled with energy, onto the Strength Measuring Rock.


    "10,000 jins is not qualified!"


    "30,000 jins is not qualified!"


    The number of disciples from the Lu family participating this time included almost everyone from the younger generation. Their strength was naturally not the same, and as a result, many people were directly eliminated.


    In about two hours, not even a tenth of the participants had passed the exam.


    At this moment, a heavyweight appeared on the stage.


    "Lu Zhen!"


    As the deacon''s voice fell, the disciples below began to discuss amongst themselves.


    "It''s Third Elder''s Miss Lu Zhen!"


    "The third young mistress is talented, so passing the test won''t be a problem!"


    "Third Miss is someone who''s only second to Eldest Young Master Lu Yi in the family. I''m really curious about just how much power she has."


    Amidst the anticipation in the eyes of the disciples, Lu Zhen, who was dressed in a suit, walked out from the crowd. She looked back arrogantly and walked towards the arena.


    Arriving at the bottom of the arena, Lu Zhen did not walk up the few steps. Instead, she gracefully jumped onto the high platform, not forgetting to smile proudly at the bottom of the stage.


    Amidst all the flattery from the audience, Lu Zhen walked over to the Strength Measuring Rock and began gathering her strength.


    "Ya!"


    With a shout, Lu Zhen suddenly struck out with her palm, heavily hitting the Strength Measuring Rock.


    The Strength Measuring Rock flashed with various colors, and quickly broke through five rings of light before finally stopping at seven.


    "70,000 jin, qualified!"


    Under the foreman''s loud announcement, Lu Zhen walked off the stage complacently.


    Indeed, as a young woman, having a pure strength of 70,000 pounds was already something to be proud of. Moreover, Lu Zhen''s cultivation was only at the middle Houtian realm. In time, she would definitely have a bigger development.


    After Lu Zhen left the stage, the remaining disciples calmly continued their test.


    Very quickly, there weren''t many disciples left who had yet to take the test.


    It was a tall and handsome man. Accompanied by several others, he arrived before Lu Feng.


    "Cousin, I heard that after a walk around the Green Cloud Mountain, not only did you not lose your life, you even possessed an extraordinary cultivation base?


    What do you think? Are you interested in competing with me? "


    The person who came was the son of the Great Elder, Lu Feng''s cousin. He was Lu Yi, the younger generation''s number one.


    Towards this kind of provocation that resembled a tramp, Lu Feng didn''t even bat an eyelid.


    "Who are you?"


    Lu Feng said coldly.


    At the side, Lu Lili quickly pulled on Lu Feng''s shoulder and said tenderly, "Big brother, this is the Great Elder''s young master, Lu Yi, Eldest Young Master Lu."


    Lu Feng smiled at her, and continued to speak with an exasperating tone of voice. "Lu Yi? I don''t know him!


    Lush, let me tell you, not just any cat or dog should be addressed as'' Eldest Young Master ''! "


    "You!"


    Lu Yi was extremely annoyed.


    Lu Feng ignored him and continued to chat and joke with Lu Loulan.


    "Fine, Lu Feng, you have guts!" You don''t even recognize this cousin of yours!


    Just you wait, I won''t show mercy to you in the finals! "


    Lu Yi said to Lu Feng with a dark expression.


    "Eldest Young Master, you are wrong about that. Maybe our Second Young Master won''t even be able to pass the test of strength!"


    A henchman beside Lu Yi said in a flattering manner.


    "That''s right, the title of the second young master''s family''s trash has been around for a long time. Could it be that after making a trip into the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he has truly been reborn?"


    Another henchman said in disdain.


    Hearing the words of his two henchmen, Lu Yi''s face turned bright. He looked at Lu Feng complacently and said, "Younger cousin Lu Feng, I really hope that I can see your figure in the competition arena.


    Unfortunately, you might have let me down!


    "Hahaha!"


    Laughing loudly, Lu Yi left with his two henchmen.


    Facing this level of provocation, in Lu Feng''s eyes, it was like a child playing house. It did not affect his mood in the slightest.


    However, Lu Feng was still wary of the murderous intent in Lu Yi''s words because he had always suspected that the Mystic Beast Speaker he met at the North Mansion that day was related to the Great Elder. In fact, it might even be the Great Elder himself.

 C29 Face-smacking

    "Lu Yi!"


    The deacon on stage loudly shouted Lu Yi''s name.


    As the number one expert of the family''s younger generation, Lu Yi had quite a few fans in the Lu family.


    Seeing Lu Yi walk up to the stage confidently, the disciples below all opened their mouths to praise him. The bewitched sisters even screamed, causing the two great elders to frown. In the Tian Yuan Continent, where etiquette was strict, this kind of behavior was truly indecent.


    The clamor from the audience made Lu Yi, who was standing in front of the Strength Measuring Rock, enjoy himself. Once again, he felt the magic of addressing the young master of the Lu Family as "Young Master".


    I want to be the real young master of the Lu family, the one who has the right to inherit the family.


    Standing in front of the Strength Measuring Rock, Lu Yi said to himself while gathering his strength.


    Ah!


    Suddenly, Lu Yi roared towards the sky. His muscles tensed up as he strode towards the Strength Measuring Rock. With a punch that carried an earth-shattering momentum, he suddenly struck the Strength Measuring Rock.


    "Bam!"


    With a loud bang, Lu Yi''s fist ruthlessly struck the Strength Measuring Rock.


    The Strength Measuring Rock started to flash with a seven-colored light, and rings of light started to light up one after another.


    One, two...


    Very quickly, eight rings of light lit up, already surpassing Lu Zhen''s result.


    However, it did not stop there. The ring of light continued to light up.


    Nine, ten!


    Finally, after the tenth ring of light lit up, the Strength Measuring Rock finally stopped shining.


    "100,000 jins, qualified!"


    The deacon on the stage announced loudly.


    "Wow, Lu Yi is too handsome. He''s so young and already has a hundred thousand jin strength. He''s so handsome!"


    Below the stage, Mystery Girl cupped her hands around her heart, her eyes filled with stars as she spoke. From the looks of it, as long as Lu Yi beckoned her over, she would be able to introduce herself to the pillow.


    Of course, most of them were sighing in admiration.


    "Young Master Lu Yi is truly worthy of being our Lu Family''s Eldest Young Master. With just this cultivation, he''s already able to look down on the entire Greencloud City!"


    "That''s right, the Eldest Young Master is the Eldest Master''s son, and is the Eldest Elder''s direct disciple. He can''t not be powerful!"


    "The Eldest Young Master is the Eldest Young Master, the number one of the Lu Family''s new generation. He is indeed worthy of his reputation!"


    "That''s right, I think Patriarch should give the inheritance of the next Patriarch to Eldest Young Master!"


    "That''s right, Lu Feng is just a piece of trash. How can he compare to the young master in what happens if he dies?"


    "I heard that the second young master cleaned up the third steward that day. Could it be some sort of trick?"


    "Don''t you know? "The young master is no longer the same as before. I heard that the City Lord''s Mansion''s Fourth Elder was killed by him in an instant!"


    "Are you kidding? That Mo Wuji is a Xiantian expert. Based on our second young master, it would be impossible for him to kill him even in his dreams. "


    "That''s right. If Second Young Master killed Mo Wuji, wouldn''t the City Lord Residence have come looking for you long ago? Could our Lu family be as calm as we are now? "


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Amidst the various discussions in the audience, Lu Yi felt as if he was floating in the air.


    Haha, after seeing my strength, Lu Feng couldn''t have been scared silly, right?


    Thinking of this, Lu Yi did his best to maintain his demeanor as he walked down the stage, once again standing in front of Lu Feng.


    "Cousin brother Lu Feng, do you see my strength?


    If you feel scared, it''s still too late to beg for forgiveness. I''ll be more gentle when I fight with you! "


    Disdainfully looking at Lu Feng, Lu Yi said with an arrogant expression. Compared to his elegant demeanor on the stage earlier, he seemed like a completely different person.


    Without even looking at Lu Yi, Lu Feng reached out his hand to dig his ear. He said to Lu Yueru, "Luru, why do I hear the sound of a wild dog?"


    "Big brother, why would our Lu family come in here as wild dogs?" Lu Haoran covered her mouth with her hand as she spoke to Lu Feng. Her words were like those of a little girl.


    But Lu Feng said, "I''m also curious.


    It seems like I need to talk to Lu Wenshan about this later. It''s not a good thing for the family guards to be slacking off like this. "


    Looking at Lu Feng''s serious expression, Lu Wei Rui went close to Lu Feng''s ear and whispered, "Big brother, why are you so good at making trouble?


    Look at the Eldest Young Master''s face, it''s as ugly as it can get. "


    After following Lu Feng for a long time, the little girl had also gotten infected with his temper. To someone who wasn''t friendly with him, he would definitely not let him off the hook.


    The two of them sang the same tune, not only did they treat Lu Yi as air, but they also mocked him from the inside, saying that he was a wild dog.


    Looking back at Lu Yi, his face was so dark that it could not get any darker. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he wanted nothing more than to kill Lu Feng right now.


    "Lu Feng, let''s see how long you can continue being so arrogant. When we reach the battling platform, I''ll make you regret it!"


    Lu Yi took his two lackeys and left bitterly. He really couldn''t stay here any longer. If he stayed here any longer, then Lu Yi would be asking to be humiliated.


    Humph! You want to kill me so quickly? Lu Yi, you better pray that your father can save you. If you don''t, then today will be the day of your death.


    Although on the surface, he ignored Lu Yi, in the depths of Lu Feng''s heart, he was already using Lu Yi''s little life to test the Great Elder''s thoughts.


    In other words, Lu Yi was going to suffer!


    The following tests passed in a calm and composed manner. Most of the disciples who came on stage were unable to pass the tests, and they could only bid their regretful farewells to the selection.


    "Lu Feng!"


    The deacon on the stage finally called out Lu Feng''s name.


    Under the questioning voices of the crowd, Lu Feng parted the crowd and stepped onto the stage.


    Without any fancy tricks, Lu Feng directly struck the Strength Measuring Rock with his palm. He didn''t even look at it as he turned around and left.


    "Humph!" Was that trash giving up? "He''s really a piece of trash!"


    Seeing Lu Feng''s actions, Lu Yi snorted coldly and said in disdain.


    Just as the group of people beside Lu Yi was about to echo his words, the crowd below the stage suddenly let out a series of exclamations.


    Lu Yi was startled and quickly looked up at the stage.


    The moment Lu Feng turned around, the Strength Measuring Rock on the stage began to emit a rainbow-colored light. At the same time, eight rings of light quickly lit up.


    Soon after, the ninth and tenth rings of light lit up.


    Looking at this scene, the people below the stage who were doubtful of Lu Feng''s strength were all staring with their mouths agape, unable to believe what was happening before them.


    However, things weren''t over yet.


    As if wanting to completely change everyone''s impression, the eleventh circle of light lit up as soon as Lu Feng stepped onto the stairs of the arena.


    "110,000 jins, qualified!"


    The deacon on the stage announced loudly.


    Lu Yi felt his face swell as he looked at those eleven dazzling rings of light. Lu Feng was obviously doing this on purpose. Even though he didn''t use his full strength in that palm attack, it was still a circle of light more than what he was capable of.


    What is this? This was an undisguised slap to the face!


    Compared to his arrogance in front of Lu Feng, the current Lu Yi really wished there was a hole in the ground to hide into. This was too f * cking embarrassing.


    Most of the disciples of the Lu family below the stage had heard about Lu Feng''s achievements in the past few days, but most of them treated him as a joke. They did not believe that Lu Feng, who had always been a trash of the Lu family, would change so much.


    But today, the facts were right in front of them, and they couldn''t argue any further.


    Lu Feng was indeed different from before!

 C30 Promotion Competition

    Not long after Lu Feng, the first round of the assessment had ended. Out of the hundreds of young disciples in the Lu family, less than fifty had entered the next round.


    After the deacon who presided over the first round of examinations reported the results to the podium, the head elder stood up once again and went onto the stage. He announced loudly, "The first round of examinations has ended. The ones to advance to the next round are: ¡­"


    After announcing the list of promotions, the Great Clan Elder paused for a moment before continuing, "The second round will be a free-for-all battle. The contestants will then draw lots to form a four-man team.


    Every group would enter the stage to compete. The last person to emerge victorious from the free-for-all would gain the right to advance to the finals.


    "Now, let''s begin the drawing of lots."


    With that, the Head Elder called over a few attendants and wrote down the names of everyone who had advanced and put them into a sealed box on a small wooden plate.


    After finishing all this, the Great Elder shook the box vigorously a few times. He invited the two great elders to draw the lots. The Great Elder himself announced the results of the lots drawing.


    "First group, contestants are: ¡­"


    "Group Two, the contestants are: ¡­"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Not long after, the 12 teams'' contestants were divided into groups. It was unknown if it was on purpose or for some other reason, but Lu Feng, Lu Yi, Lu Zhen and a few other seeded contestants were all not in the same group.


    "Now that the division is over, all of the participants will enter the backstage and begin their preparations before the competition.


    The official competition will begin in an hour. "


    The Great Elder ordered for the battle format to be hung on a high wall at the back of the stage before returning to the main platform and waiting for the next round to begin.


    Backstage, resting room.


    "Lu Feng is mine. You all are not allowed to defeat him. I will personally leave a deep impression on him!"


    Lu Feng did not enter the backstage resting room. For him, the so-called preparation was not needed at all. Taking advantage of this half an hour, he accompanied Lu Yueru back to his own small courtyard.


    Lu Feng wasn''t here. Lu Yi found the three family juniors that were in the same group as Lu Feng, put on his airs as a Young Master, and fiercely said that to those three.


    When the three of them heard Lu Yi''s words, although they did not dare to resist, unwillingness could be seen in their eyes.


    After all, no one wanted to lose their chance to enter the school for no reason at all. Even though such a chance was extremely slim, they still had to fight for it with all their might. After all, that was something that could truly change their fates.


    Just then, Lu Zhen walked over and said with disdain, "Look at your eyes.


    You don''t want to think about it, just do as the eldest young master says, how can the eldest young master treat you unfairly?


    Isn''t that so, Big Brother? "


    Saying that, Lu Zhen gave Lu Yi a look.


    Lu Yi understood immediately and changed his tone, saying, "I don''t know what kind of dog shit luck that piece of trash Lu Feng got. He made a trip to the Green Cloud Mountain Range, and not only did he not die, but he also had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a cultivation level.


    To be honest, even if the three of you joined forces, you still wouldn''t be a match for him.


    The reason I asked you to give up the competition was also for your sake.


    You should think it through clearly. The example of the third steward is there. Do you think you have the strength of the third steward?


    Besides, I won''t let you lose your chance for nothing.


    This way, if you voluntarily withdraw, I will give each of you a hundred low grade Source Stones for your cultivation.


    In addition, I will allow you to enter the family''s guards in advance and begin to receive your monthly fees from the family. "


    After Lu Zhen''s reminder, Lu Yi also knew that he couldn''t be too intimidating towards the disciples of these families. Otherwise, it would ruin his reputation and he would immediately start luring them.


    Hearing Lu Yi''s words, the three of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement.


    For low-level descendants of the family, the amount of cultivation resources they could get was very limited. It was already good enough to get a low grade Source Stone every month, but now they only had to give up on a very slim hope and get a hundred Source Stones. Furthermore, they were able to get into the family guards ahead of time.


    Seeing that the three of them had agreed, Lu Zhen pulled Lu Yi to the side and began to discuss in private.


    Towards Lu Feng, Lu Zhen''s hatred was not small at all.


    The third steward was Lu Zhen''s distant cousin uncle. He had helped Lu Zhen bully the Lu Manor''s servants many times, so he was Lu Zhen''s trusted aide.


    The reason why the third steward brazenly bullied Lu Yueru was that she had the audacity to do so. On the other hand, she was also ordered by Lu Zhen.


    However, Lu Zhen did not expect Lu Feng to return to the Greencloud City at the critical moment, and even crippled the third steward.


    From Lu Zhen''s point of view, slapping the Third Steward was slapping her in the face, not giving her any face at all.


    Furthermore, Lu Zhen had looked down on Lu Feng, who could not cultivate since he was young, and thought that Lu Feng was the shame of his family.


    Now that she had been slapped in the face by Lu Feng, it was definitely a great humiliation. If she did not take revenge, then she, Lu Zhen, would not have any face left.


    Coincidentally, Lu Feng had also offended his older cousin Lu Yi. Lu Zhen immediately realized that her chance had come, so she ran in front of Lu Yi and helped him to come up with some ideas.


    Just like this, without knowing it, Lu Feng was passed the promotion competition and became the first member of the Lu Family to have locked his spot in the finals.


    Soon, the tournament began.


    The first and second round of the competition quickly ended, and two contestants were chosen to enter the finals.


    In the third match, it was Lu Feng''s turn.


    Looking at Lu Feng standing opposite of the three of them, the three of them shook their heads and gave up.


    "Lu Feng, victory! You have obtained the qualification to enter the finals!"


    After hearing the news of Lu Feng''s victory, the spectators below the stage were no longer satisfied.


    "What''s going on? He won before the match even started?"


    "Those three aren''t weak. How could they give up so easily?"


    "Could it be that there''s a conspiracy behind this?"


    "Hehe, you all have forgotten that Lu Feng is the direct descendant of the family head, the next in-line successor to the family head. I heard that the family head has already appointed him as the junior family head."


    "¡­ ¡­"


    With regards to Lu Feng''s advancement, the audience, who did not know the details, began to display their powerful imaginations, constantly organizing all sorts of so-called insider information for Lu Feng.


    Very soon, Lu Feng became someone who relied on his father''s shadow to bully his family''s children.


    Coupled with the evil deeds of Lu Feng in the past, Lu Feng was now his public enemy.


    Of course, even if he knew, Lu Feng would only smile. In the face of absolute power, any slander would be useless.


    He believed that when Lu Feng felt that the top ranker of the Family Competition was him, all the slander towards him would disappear like smoke in thin air.

 C31 Lu Yis Strength

    After Lu Feng left the stage, it was finally Lu Yi''s turn after another two rounds.


    Arriving on the stage, Lu Yi looked at his three opponents with contempt and carelessly said, "I''m in a hurry. You three can come at me together."


    Although the rules of the tournament were to fight in a free-for-all, each person becoming the enemy, but when they encountered a strong opponent, the other three would join hands.


    And Lu Yi''s contemptuous attitude naturally successfully infuriated his three opponents.


    Of the three people, two of them were at the middle Houtian realm. One of them was tall and thin, with a sturdy lower body. It was obvious with a glance that he was skilled in leg techniques.


    As for the only early Houtian martial artist, he was shockingly a body cultivator. He was tall and sturdy, his entire body was knotted with muscles, and his strength was extremely strong. His strength was not any weaker than his two mid-Houtian companions.


    In the face of Lu Yi''s contempt, how could the three of them not be angry?


    In addition to Lu Yi''s demeanor in the lounge just now, not everyone could get used to it.


    Combined with the criticism that Lu Feng easily won due to his opponent''s abstention, the three of them understood that Lu Yi was their own rival who bribed Lu Feng. Without any warning, Lu Feng had been tricked one by one.


    The three of them were not used to this sort of despicable act.


    "I''ll go first!"


    The sturdy early Houtian youth roared and attacked Lu Yi first.


    As soon as the well-dressed youth made his move, the tall and skinny youth leaped up and lashed down at Lu Yi''s head.


    The short youth took the opportunity to dodge and arrived behind Lu Yi. He used both palms to strike the back of Lu Yi''s neck and his heart.


    "A bunch of trash!"


    Lu Yi''s arms shook, and a surge of Essence Qi burst out from his body. His momentum began to rise continuously.


    Seeing Lu Yi''s imposing manner, the three opponents were all shocked. Lu Yi had clearly reached the peak of the Houtian realm.


    Didn''t they say that the number one genius of Qingyun City, Jiang Xin, was only at the late Houtian realm? How could Lu Yi''s strength be so high?


    In the time it took for a spark to fly, the robust youth''s punch arrived first.


    Although he was surprised by the strength that Lu Yi displayed, the burly youth did not cower. Instead, he used all of his strength in this punch and channeled all of his strength as he ruthlessly sent out a thunderous punch.


    Facing such an astonishing punch, Lu Yi didn''t hesitate to meet it head on.


    The two fists collided.


    "Bam!"


    With an explosive sound, a violent shockwave exploded in all directions from where their fists met.


    Ah!


    The burly youth screamed as his body flew out like a broken sack. He was directly sent flying out of the range of Lu Yi''s attack.


    When the crowd below helped the sturdy youth to his feet, his right arm had already been broken into two halves. He was obviously not a match for Lu Yi in terms of strength.


    In the viewing platform, after blasting away the sturdy youth, Lu Yi didn''t care at all and raised his arm to block off the incoming kick. His left hand grabbed and precisely gripped the tall and skinny boy''s ankle.


    Ignoring the look of pleading in the lanky youth''s eyes, Lu Yi grabbed onto his ankle with one hand and used force in his other hand. With a half turn of his body, Lu Yi sent him flying towards the short youth behind him.


    At this moment, the short youth''s two palms had almost reached Lu Yi''s body. Just as he was about to succeed, he didn''t expect Lu Yi to suddenly turn around.


    The lanky youth''s body was like a black cloud that covered the entire sky, ruthlessly sweeping towards the short youth''s waist.


    "Pfft!"


    The short youth spat out a mouthful of blood and flew to the side.


    Lu Yi, who had sent his second opponent flying, let go of the hand that was grabbing the right foot of the lanky youth. His feet stomped on the ground and his figure exploded into a flash.


    Ah!


    Accompanied by a blood-curdling screech, the tall and skinny youth, who had excellent leg techniques, was sent flying by Lu Yi with a kick. He was sent flying out of the arena along with the burly youth.


    On the stage, there was only Lu Yi standing there proudly.


    Indeed, Lu Yi had his reasons for being arrogant.


    Of the three opponents, two of them were at the middle Houtian realm and one of them had extremely fast movement techniques. One of them had exquisite leg techniques and was an early Houtian realm body cultivator.


    The three of them together were completely crushed by Lu Yi. They couldn''t even take a single move before they were defeated.


    "Too powerful!" The eldest young master is the hope of our Lu Family! "


    "That''s right!" Did you feel it? "Just now, Eldest Young Master''s imposing aura had clearly reached the peak of the Houtian realm and one of his feet had already stepped into the Xiantian realm!"


    "Exactly! The young master''s cultivation is definitely at the top of the younger generation in Greencloud City! "


    "Yes!" It is said that the young miss of the Jiang Family is only at the late Houtian realm.


    "Powerful!" Young Master, I submit to your strength! "


    "¡­ ¡­"


    After the referee announced the result of the match, under the praises of the crowd, Lu Yi slowly walked off the stage.


    After getting off the stage, Lu Yi deliberately walked in front of Lu Feng, his face filled with disdain as he said, "I can easily pass with my own strength, but you can only rely on covert tricks!


    "Hahaha!"


    Amidst his loud laughter, Lu Yi walked past Lu Feng with a complacent look on his face.


    However, Lu Feng didn''t even look at Lu Yi, because in his heart, Lu Yi wasn''t even considered an ant.


    On the stage, after Lu Yi stepped down from the stage, the competition continued in an orderly manner. All the people who had advanced, including Lu Zhen, had been decided one after another.


    Just like this, the tournament ended, and the twelve finalists were officially confirmed.


    Next was the true climax ¨C the finals!


    The drawing of lots was still the same in the finals, but in the form of one-on-one matches, six victors would be decided.


    The six victors once again drew lots and decided on the top three of the Large Competition.


    After that, the top three would follow four to six, divide into two groups, and carry out the ranking tournament to determine the final ranking of this year''s Large Competition.


    Amongst them, the top five automatically obtained the qualifications to participate in the Heavenly Star Academy''s selection, and the sixth became the substitute. If any mishaps were to happen to the top five and they were unable to participate in the selection, the sixth would automatically be replaced.


    The first round of the finals was very calm. Lu Feng, Lu Yi, and Lu Zhen, the three seeded contestants, did not meet a strong opponent. They all easily obtained the qualifications to enter the next round.


    In the second round, the battles between the six victors might have been decided by the will of heaven, but Lu Feng, Lu Yi, and Lu Zhen did not meet each other.


    When the first three battles were about to begin, Lu Feng, who was on the stage, suddenly said to the referee in a clear voice, "Judge, I will apply to change the rules and have them fight at the same time. I don''t have that much time to play child''s play with them!


    After I beat them, two or three of them will be free to share. It has nothing to do with me!

 C32 Instant Kill

    Hearing Lu Feng''s indifferent and detached words, the crowd below the stage immediately fell into a state of disarray.


    Even though Lu Feng already had an extraordinary cultivation base, in the eyes of the crowd, he was still a good-for-nothing of the Lu family, a good-for-nothing playboy who stirred up disgrace and humiliation everywhere.


    Faced with Lu Feng''s sudden outburst, everyone was first stunned before they started to mock him.


    "Lu Feng, who do you think you are? You still want to fight one against two? "


    "That''s right, you''re not a match for the Eldest Young Master alone. Are you sure you want to bring the Third Miss along?"


    "He''s just asking for a beating!"


    "You can''t live with your own sins!"


    "A horse doesn''t know its face!"


    "Demonstrating with the masses!"


    "Want to go home early and sleep? You might as well give up! "


    "¡­ ¡­"


    The mockery and insults from below the stage did not affect Lu Feng''s mood in the slightest. He just stood there calmly, as if all the hustle and bustle below the stage did not exist at all.


    The referee was caught unprepared by Lu Feng''s request. He turned his pleading gaze towards the platform, hoping to receive an order from the judges.


    Without waiting for Lu Xiong to speak, the Great Elder narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Feng with interest, saying, "Nephew Lu Feng''s courage is commendable. Since he has such a request, we should not try to stop him.


    However, let me mention something here. You three are all elites of the family, and there are times when mistakes are unavoidable. Therefore, each of you have to be careful.


    In addition, in the competition, you must be fair and square, not to use underhanded methods, otherwise, you will be disqualified under the rules!


    Do you understand? "


    Great Elder''s words not only took over Lu Xiong''s position, but he had also hinted implicitly for Lu Yi and Lu Zhen to kill Lu Feng without hesitation.


    The spectators below the stage didn''t know what the Grand Elder''s true intention was. They could only sigh at how selfless he was.


    "No wonder Lu Feng could so easily get promoted, he has come all the way here by relying on schemes and tricks!"


    "That''s right. If it wasn''t for his schemes and tricks, how could he, Lu Feng, have easily taken care of the Third Steward of the Innate realm?" "On the other hand, it''s more or less the opposite."


    "Now that Grand Elder has made it clear that you are not allowed to use underhanded methods, Lu Feng is going to have a tragedy this time."


    "That''s right. As a famous trash of the Lu family, apart from those despicable methods, he, Lu Feng, is nothing at all!"


    "I think so too. With trash like Lu Feng, how could he create a miracle?"


    "Even if we win with the underhanded methods of those three, it would still be an unfair victory!"


    "Right, the Lu family''s humiliation!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Towards the mocking and ridicule from the audience and all kinds of questions, Lu Feng acted as if he did not hear anything. He calmly looked at Lu Yi and Lu Zhen in front of him.


    "I feel that Great Elder is right. Since Nephew Lu Feng has put forward such a request, it is not easy for us to reject. After all, that would be a huge blow to the young people''s competitive spirit.


    "Of course, in order to avoid any accidents from happening during the competition, I am personally willing to be the referee for this competition. I will always pay attention to their fights in the arena, and avoid any losses to the three families'' elites."


    A feminine voice rang out. It was the Third Elder who had opened his mouth to support the Great Elder.


    Moreover, the Third Elder was even more ruthless. He wanted to go up on stage personally, saying that he wanted to ensure the safety of Lu Feng and the others. Only he knew the real purpose of this action.


    With regards to the Third Elder''s suggestion, the two Supreme Elders sitting next to Lu Xiong nodded their heads repeatedly, seemingly in favor of it.


    Lu Xiong was originally worried about his son''s safety, but then he thought about this kid''s methods. Even if he personally fought them, he wouldn''t dare to say that he would win, not to mention Lu Yi and Lu Zhen who were in the Houtian realm.


    Even with the addition of the Third Elder, Lu Xiong was confident that even if Lu Feng was no match for him, his life would not be in danger.


    On the other hand, it was very likely that he would be able to find an excuse to take care of the Great Elder and the Third Elder.


    Thinking of this, Lu Xiong even hoped that the Third Elder would disregard his status and secretly sneak attack Lu Feng.


    With the third elder in the referee''s position, the top three ranking battles of the Lu Family Competition would begin.


    "Lu Feng, today I will let you know that a genius cannot be defeated by a mere fortuitous encounter!"


    Standing opposite Lu Feng, Lu Yi said arrogantly.


    On the side, Lu Zhen was also sneering at Lu Feng, her eyes flashing with resentment.


    "Third Elder, your daughter is right in front of me. Aren''t you afraid something might happen to her?"


    Ignoring Lu Yi''s provocation, Lu Feng had a funny look on his face as he spoke to the third elder who was the referee.


    "Humph!" Lu Feng, aren''t you too early to be proud? Not to mention the two of them working together, even my family''s Jin`er alone is enough to take care of trash like you. "


    The Third Elder was a skinny middle-aged man. Hearing Lu Feng''s words, he looked at Lu Feng in displeasure and said arrogantly.


    "Is that so? Then you have to make a move quickly, in case you fail to save him and end up with a lifetime of regret!


    "Hahaha!"


    Lu Feng mocked the Third Elder while laughing out loud.


    The Third Elder''s face turned cold. He no longer bothered with Lu Feng''s provocation and announced loudly: "According to Lu Feng''s request, this match will be changed to a mixed battle. The winner will be the champion and the remaining two will fight for the second or third place spot.


    Now, let the competition begin! "


    Following the command given by the Third Elder, Lu Yi, who had been preparing to take action, threw a punch towards Lu Feng''s chest.


    On the other side, Lu Zhen''s body was like a ghost. In a flash, he had already arrived behind Lu Feng. With a flick of his sleeve, he moved towards Lu Feng''s neck.


    Ignoring Lu Yi''s incoming punch, Lu Feng''s feet slightly moved. He reached out his hand and brushed away Lu Zhen''s Yun Xiu. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he grabbed Lu Zhen''s wrist.


    "Bam!"


    With a loud sound, Lu Yi''s fist landed directly on Lu Feng''s left shoulder. Lu Feng should have been overjoyed after succeeding, but right now, his face was full of seriousness.


    Lu Yi only felt as if his fist had hit steel, without the slightest sensation of being touched by the soft touch of his body.


    On the other side, Lu Yi was stunned. On the other side, Lu Zhen looked at Lu Feng in fear.


    No matter what, Lu Zhen couldn''t understand how she was discovered by Lu Feng. And how did Lu Feng brush away the cloud of true energy that had been accumulating in his body, and accurately grab his wrist?


    Under Lu Zhen''s terrified eyes, Lu Feng''s left hand trembled slightly.


    A burst of popping sounds rang out. It was Lu Feng who broke Lu Zhen''s entire right arm. It was a true shattered bone fracture. His entire arm had been turned into powder.


    Lu Zhen let out a painful groan and quickly retreated, but it was already too late. Her entire right arm had already lost its intuition.


    Turning his head to look at Lu Yi, Lu Feng chuckled, "You enjoyed the fight, didn''t you?"


    Without waiting for Lu Yi to respond, Lu Feng''s right arm swung out, forming a knife-like palm that landed on Lu Yi''s shoulder.


    "Pata!"


    With a light sound, Lu Yi''s right arm left his body and landed at the edge of the arena.

 C33 Curtainfall

    No one would have thought that the most intense and anticipated battle between the top three would end up like this.


    The Third Elder, who had volunteered to be the referee, was even more stunned on the stage. For a moment, his mind was in a state of turmoil.


    After sending Lu Yi''s right arm flying, Lu Feng appeared to have done something insignificant. He turned around casually and said to the dumbstruck Third Elder: "Judge, are you asleep? Why haven''t you announced the results yet? "


    The Third Elder was shocked and finally reacted. He glared at Lu Feng as if he had seen a ghost: "Lu Feng, you dare to do such a thing?"


    "If his skills are inferior to others, who can blame him?"


    Lu Feng mocked.


    The Third Elder felt a bit depressed, but he was still worried about his daughter''s injuries. Without bothering to argue with Lu Feng, he quickly ran to Lu Zhen''s side and helped his daughter up to check on her injuries.


    "Lu Feng, I want you dead!"


    Just when Lu Feng was looking down on the Third Elder for his concern, something strange happened.


    Lu Yi, who was originally heavily injured, suddenly shot a pitch-black needle towards Lu Feng.


    A blue dagger appeared in Lu Yi''s hand. Ignoring the wound on his right arm, which was bleeding profusely, he rushed towards Lu Feng, aiming the dagger at his chest.


    "You''re courting death!"


    Seeing Lu Yi not only not taking action, but also daring to launch a sneak attack, even using such a sinister method, Lu Feng cursed in his heart. Killing intent flashed in his eyes.


    Facing the poisonous needles that were everywhere, Lu Feng was not afraid at all. His right hand waved in the air and a vast amount of true essence was sent out, forming a perfect whirlpool, pulling all the needles together.


    At the same time, Lu Feng''s left foot tapped on the ground. His body, instead of retreating, advanced forward. He charged towards Lu Yi''s charging figure. A flawless kick ruthlessly landed on Lu Yi''s chest.


    Lu Yi was already severely injured, and he was bleeding profusely from his severed arm. He forcefully resisted with true essence and used the ace attack that he thought would be perfect. However, he didn''t expect it to be easily neutralized by Lu Feng.


    Lu Yi''s body was sent flying like a cannonball before he could even let out a scream. He fell off the stage and passed out.


    Lu Feng hated Lu Yi for his insidious attacks, and also wanted to test the Grand Elder out. However, he didn''t hold back his attacks at all; in fact, when Lu Yi was sent flying out, he had already fainted and his internal organs were severely injured.


    Seeing Lu Yi falling off the stage, Lu Feng''s face turned ashen. He came to the edge of the stage and put his hand on Lu Yi''s shoulder to kill him.


    "Stop!"


    Without waiting for Lu Feng''s move to come out, the Head Elder on the stage let out a loud shout and quickly flew to the bottom of the stage. He reached out to pick up Lu Yi who was lying on the ground, and stared at Lu Feng with bloodshot eyes.


    "Little bastard, I think you''re courting death!"


    With that, the Head Elder made a gesture to attack Lu Feng.


    "Grand Elder, are you trying to break the rules of the competition?"


    Lu Feng was secretly on guard, but his mouth showed no fear as he directly faced the Great Elder''s fury.


    "Great Clan Elder, what are you doing?


    Even though Lu Yi''s skills were inferior to his, he was still unwilling to give up after losing the match. He actually secretly attacked the Young Patriarch with a pair of insidious weapons and a quenching poison dagger.


    Now, your son''s sneak attack was foiled by the Young Patriarch, and you yourself ended up in a coma from a serious injury.


    What? Are you still going to attack the young master? "


    A figure flew through the sky and landed beside Lu Feng, fearlessly facing the Great Elder. It was Lu Feng''s Ninth Uncle, Lu Xiong''s blood related younger brother, the Lu Family''s Eighth Elder, Lu Qing.


    "Humph!"


    The Head Elder let out a cold snort. His face was ashen as he looked at the Eighth Elder, and said angrily, "Lu Qing, are you trying to stop me from avenging my son? I''m just afraid that you don''t have the qualifications! "


    Faced with the Great Clan Elder''s rage, Lu Qing refused to budge an inch and said, "Great Clan Elder, your son clearly deserves it.


    What, he became the victim here instead?


    Grand Elder, if the Heavens are watching, then justice is in the hearts of the people!


    I advise you to accumulate some merits! "


    "That''s right, Great Elder. Seeing how anxious you are because your son is, I shall let you off this time."


    However, you must remember that Lu Feng''s victory, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, was achieved in a fair and square manner.


    On the other hand, your son, who usually pretended to be righteous and did not want to lose, actually used such a despicable method.


    To think that before the competition started, your Great Elder had said that he would not allow any underhanded attacks, and that he would defeat his opponent in broad daylight.


    "Why, when it comes to your son, does this become a matter of course?"


    At this time, Lu Xiong also flew onto the stage, berating the Great Elder.


    As the Lu Family''s Patriarch, Lu Xiong reprimanded the Great Elder. Although it was rare, it was not against the rules. Lu Xiong had the qualifications.


    "Good!"


    Lu Xiong, I want to see just how long you two can be so arrogant for! "


    The Great Elder was clearly in the wrong, coupled with the fear of the combined power of Lu Xiong, Lu Qing, and Lu Feng. He said some harsh words, then carried the unconscious Lu Yi and turned around to leave.


    When the Third Elder on the stage saw that the Great Elder had left with his tail between his legs, he quickly helped Lu Zhen off the stage and went back to find a way to heal her wounds.


    At this time, the two Supreme Elders on the stage flew up to the stage and, as members of the judges, loudly announced the victory of Lu Feng.


    Seeing how Lu Feng won the finals so easily and successfully ascended to the position of number one in the younger generation of the Lu Family, not only did he win so easily and cleanly, everyone below the stage felt as if their glasses were about to shatter.


    "Is this still that trash from before? How did you become so powerful? "


    "The cultivation base of the Eldest Young Master and the Third Miss are so high, yet they couldn''t even take a single move from the Second Young Master under their combined efforts. Isn''t this Second Young Master too heaven-defying?"


    "What level of cultivation do you think the Second Young Master is at?" Could it be that you have already entered the Innate Realm? "


    "I never thought that there would come a day when the previous trash would rise above the masses!"


    "This is truly astonishing!"


    Previously, the Second Young Master was unable to cultivate, but now, the Greencloud Mountain Range has caught up to the number one genius of the city! "


    "Yeah, I really didn''t expect it!"


    "It seems that the Patriarch appointing the Second Young Master as the Young Patriarch is reasonable. The Second Young Master is indeed the hope of our Lu Family!"


    "I never thought that Eldest Young Master would look so open and honest. When the time comes, he would use any random move!"


    "Yeah, did you notice?" When the eldest young master ambushed the second young master, he used needles and daggers.


    "He really doesn''t know how to judge a person''s face and heart!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Amidst the clamor, the four to six people engaged in a hasty battle. The curtain to the first Family Competition in the history of the Lu Family had fallen!

 C34 Once More Entering the Green Cloud Mountain

    With the end of the Family Competition, there was still another half a month before the arrival of the Heavenly Star Academy, so Lu Feng was once again free.


    In the past few days, the Great Elder had been looking for people to help treat Lu Yi, and the reward was high enough to find a pill refiner who could concoct a Rebirth Pill to help Lu Yi regrow his limbs. There was no time to cause trouble for Lu Feng at all.


    On this day, Lu Feng ended his cultivation. He felt as if he had reached a bottleneck. Without a special opportunity, he wouldn''t be able to break through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage within a short period of time.


    Lu Feng stood up and looked at the bright sky outside. Then, he walked to the door of the restaurant.


    The little girl had been cultivating the Icy Heart Iceheart Technique that Lu Feng had taught her. She had been cultivating very hard, almost to the point where she forgot to eat and sleep.


    Moreover, the little girl''s physique was very compatible with the cultivation technique that Lu Feng had found for her. It could be said that in just a few short moments, she had successfully broken through from the Refinement Stage to the early Qi Refining Stage, and had become a little master equal to the early Houtian realm. Other than lacking in experience when fighting enemies, she could be considered one of the younger generation of the Lu Family.


    It had to be known that most of the hundreds of young members of the Lu family were still in the Body Refinement Realm. As for their cultivation speed, there were even less who could compare to the little girl.


    In time, the little girl would become a rising star in the Lu Family.


    Seeing Lu Feng coming over, the tigress Xiao Yu who was obediently lying in front of the door immediately came over, trying to curry favor with him. She said, "Master, are you here to look for the little miss?


    Young Miss is still cultivating, do you want Xiao Yu to call her out? "


    Lu Feng frowned and nodded at Xiao Yu, saying, "You go ahead, I''ll wait for you here."


    Not long after, a little girl with messy hair, but full of energy, came running out with a face full of joy. She joyfully arrived in front of Lu Feng, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly: "Brother, I haven''t come to see you in a few days."


    Lu Feng was almost completely unable to resist Lu Hua Rui''s coquettish actions.


    As he lovingly stroked her hair, Lu Feng rebuked her: "Look at you, you''re too busy cultivating, you don''t even have time to eat anymore.


    Go wash up and eat breakfast.


    I still have something to tell you later. "


    Perhaps it was because she felt that her image was indeed a bit sloppy, the little girl embarrassedly stuck out her tongue, let go of Lu Feng''s arm, and ran back to her room to clean up.


    Not long after, a neat little girl appeared in front of Lu Feng, happily holding onto Lu Feng''s arm, laughing and having breakfast.


    After dinner, Lu Feng took out four jade bottles and a small booklet. He handed them over to the little girl and said, "Lush, these four bottles contain Qi Replenishing Pills, Green Spirit Pills, Small Revitalizing Pills and a Foundation Establishment Pill.


    The Qi Replenishing Pill is used to speed up the gathering of the Yuan Qi in the world when you cultivate; the Blue Spirit Pill is used to quickly replenish the Yuan Qi in your body; the Small Recovery Pill is used to heal injuries; and the Foundation Building Pill is used to help you breakthrough after you have reached the bottleneck of the Pre-Sky Realm.


    This booklet was called the Frozen Ice Palms. It contained the thirty-six techniques of the Frozen Ice Palms and a total of three techniques of the Frozen Ice Palms. They were probably Yellow Ranked martial skills.


    While you are cultivating the Ice Heart Formula, don''t forget to practice your moves. When you reach the late Houtian realm, you can try to cultivate the three Martial Skills.


    Right now, you should keep these items well. In the future, when you need them, just take them out and use them yourself.


    That''s right, when you have nothing to do, you can have Little Yu spar with you and increase her combat experience. Little Yu can also teach you some combat techniques. "


    Seeing how serious Lu Feng was, Lu Lulong suddenly had a bad feeling. Lu Feng was clearly going to leave.


    "Brother, where are you going? Can I come with you? "


    Lu Lushui said pitifully to Lu Feng.


    "Lush, there''s still another half a month before the Heavenly Star Academy''s selection. As for my cultivation, it seems to have entered a bottleneck. It will be very difficult to break through in a short period of time."


    The last time I came, I was in too much of a hurry, so I didn''t have a good look at a lot of things. This time, I''m going to properly train inside to look for my own fortuitous encounter.


    "Yueru, it''s not that I don''t want to bring you with me, it''s just that there are dangers lurking in every corner of the Green Cloud Mountain. Since you''ve just started cultivating, it''s not suitable for you to go inside."


    Lu Feng felt a headache coming on when he saw the longing in Lu Lushui''s eyes, but he had no choice but to harden his heart and refuse to let this little girl travel together with him.


    "Ah?" "Is that so?"


    The little girl felt a little disappointed and wronged as she lowered her head.


    "Wei Rui, this world is a world where strength reigns supreme. The only way for us to have the ability to protect the people we care about is to become stronger as soon as possible.


    So, this time, I won''t bring you along no matter what. "


    Lu Feng said.


    Hearing this, Lu Liru raised her head and looked at Lu Feng with her teary eyes, saying, "Okay, big brother, Liru understands.


    I will increase my cultivation as soon as possible, and will not become an obstacle for brother to advance! "


    "Well said!


    Worthy of being my, Lu Feng''s, sister!


    Remember, the path of cultivation is like moving against the current. If you don''t advance, you retreat.


    When we were at the North Mansion and faced so many magical beasts, we were never afraid. Why would we be afraid of such a small parting?


    Right? Lush!


    Oh right, you have to be careful when you''re training. Don''t pursue speed intentionally, and don''t become stubborn. That way, it will be detrimental to your cultivation and affect your future cultivation.


    Also, after I leave, you must stay with Xiao Yu to avoid any danger.


    I''ll temporarily arrange for Little Tiger to go to father''s side. You don''t have to worry. "


    The wind explained all this to Loulou, and arranged everything.


    "Big brother, the mountains are so dangerous. Why don''t you bring Little Yu with you? I''m very safe in the family, I don''t need Little Yu''s protection."


    Upon hearing that Lu Feng wanted to enter the mountains alone, Lu Yueru anxiously said.


    "Stupid girl, this time, brother is going to the Green Cloud Mountain to train, not to sightsee. What''s the point of bringing a bodyguard?


    On the other hand, you and Father need to be extra careful. After all, our Lu family isn''t as peaceful as we seem to be. You still need to be more careful of your own safety.


    Furthermore, even if the Green Cloud Mountain is a lagoon or den, what do I, Lu Feng, have to fear? "


    Lu Feng said with a domineering tone.


    "Alright!"


    Perhaps it was because she felt the concern of Lu Feng that she finally nodded her head, agreeing to Lu Feng''s arrangement.


    That afternoon, Lu Feng was alone. Without alerting anyone, he once again entered the Green Cloud Mountain Range and began his experiential learning.

 C35 A Trip to the Wasteland

    After leaving the Greencloud City, Lu Feng sprinted directly towards the Green Cloud Mountain.


    Right now, Lu Feng was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. He was still unable to practice the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Golden Light Technique, as well as other methods to quickly travel, and even more so, he was unable to control the flying sword.


    After entering the Green Cloud Mountain, Lu Feng followed the memories in his head and headed towards the barren valley that he had fallen into that day.


    During the past few days of training, Lu Feng had always had a restless feeling, which made it impossible for him to cultivate in peace.


    Thinking back to what he experienced when he came to this world, Lu Feng had a feeling that he missed something.


    However, he couldn''t remember what it was.


    Moreover, the Chaotic Bell in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness didn''t have any movement. It just quietly floated there, and no matter how hard Lu Feng used his soul consciousness, he couldn''t get close to it. It was as if the Chaotic Bell was resisting the wind.


    As the companion treasure of the Eastern Emperor, the Primal Chaos Bell''s strange reaction caused Lu Feng to be puzzled.


    Innate Dharma treasures all had spiritual items.


    Especially for top grade treasures like the Primal Chaos Bell, even if they had used up too much energy in the past, they would still be temporarily cut off from Lu Feng''s mind. As long as Lu Feng''s mind recovered and made a slight contact with it, he could easily establish the connection again.


    Right now, this situation could only be understood as the chaos clock not accepting Lu Feng''s current soul and instinctively resisting the approach of Lu Feng.


    However, the Primal Chaos Bell had always remained in Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness. This was a very puzzling matter.


    Unknowingly, Lu Feng seemed to have confirmed it. The answer should be somewhere in the valley of the Greencloud Mountain Range.


    Only then did Lu Feng say goodbye to Lu Yueru and once again set foot in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    After entering the range of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, Lu Feng slowed down and began to carefully survey his surroundings.


    The Green Cloud Mountain was indeed the most spacious place around Greencloud City. As far as the eye could see, it stretched as far as the eye could see.


    Entering the mountain, one would see green trees and red flowers, interlacing and covering the sky. Birds and beasts flew about, and there were even towering boulders that would occasionally catch their eyes. If this place was placed in the mortal world, it would be a great place to travel.


    It''s a pity, I was born to toil for a long time. In my previous life, although I was the Heavenly Emperor, ruling over all demons in the world, together with my Junior Sister Nuwa, I was known as the co-lord of the demon race. However, I had to deal with the Witch Clan''s struggle for hegemony.


    In this life, he had been reborn as a human. Starting from zero, he was once again competing with the heavens and earth. He still could not rest.


    While enjoying the beautiful scenery, Lu Feng sighed to himself.


    At this moment, Lu Feng had thrown away all thoughts of fighting for the championship. He was like a mountain villager. As he travelled, he glanced around the scenery, giving off a feeling of magnanimity.


    It was only when the sky was about to turn dark did Lu Feng wake up from his state of immersion in the beautiful scenery. He felt his whole body was relaxed and his mind was at ease, as if he was about to break through to the early Foundation Establishment stage.


    Sure enough, immersing oneself in cultivation was the worst thing that could happen.


    If one only stayed in their own small world and read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles, it would truly be of no benefit to one''s cultivation.


    For example, even though he had only been in the mountain for half a day, Lu Feng had already gained a lot. From a mental point of view at least, he no longer felt at a loss like when he first came to the noble realm.


    Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Feng stopped and looked around.


    This place was also the outskirts of the Green Cloud Mountain Range. Although there were magical beasts here, most of them were of very low levels. The stronger magical beasts were not willing to step into this area.


    Although Lu Feng''s trip this time was called experiential learning, it was actually equivalent to relaxing because his cultivation was already stuck at a bottleneck. Unless he was lucky enough, there was no way for him to break through any time soon.


    Moreover, the reason why Lu Feng had entered the Green Cloud Mountain was because of the attraction he had unconsciously.


    From Lu Feng''s point of view, the most important thing in the path of cultivation was to have clear thoughts. Otherwise, it was very easy for obsession or inner demons to arise, which in turn would be detrimental to one''s cultivation.


    Since he had guidance, he might as well go back to the Desolate Valley.


    However, Lu Feng wasn''t in a rush. After all, there was still a long way to go before Heavenly Star Academy''s recruitment. He would be fine as long as he could return in time for the selection.


    Therefore, Lu Feng did not mind touring the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    Moreover, this kind of tour had great benefits for reaching the heart and mind of Lu Feng.


    Immediately, Lu Feng found a large tree with luxuriant foliage and flew up to it. He found a wide branch and laid down. He didn''t cultivate and just stared into the night sky.


    The night passed in silence.


    The next morning, Lu Feng, who had unknowingly fallen asleep, woke up when the golden sunlight shone on his face.


    Jumping down from the tree, Lu Feng stretched his back comfortably against the rising sun.


    After circulating the Star Dou Technique once through, Lu Feng carefully felt the changes in his body. He discovered that even though he hadn''t cultivated since yesterday, his internal primeval essence still advanced slightly. The bottleneck that he had been stuck at seemed to show signs of loosening up.


    Lu Feng was overjoyed. He once again circulated the Circulatory Star Dou Technique and channeled the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body, turning it into pure Yuan Qi. They gathered together and rushed towards the bottleneck.


    However, to Lu Feng''s disappointment, his cultivation had reached the thirty-sixth cycle. After assailing it countless times, the bottleneck was still stuck there, with no intentions of breaking.


    It seemed like his lucky chance had yet to arrive!


    Lu Feng helplessly stopped cultivating and stood up, giving up on the idea of breaking through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage.


    For the next few days, Lu Feng stayed up late at night, no longer in a hurry to travel. According to his memory, he was constantly approaching that barren valley.


    On this day, Lu Feng felt that he was not far from the Barren Valley. However, he suddenly felt that right in front of the valley, there were a few powerful auras soaring into the sky. He could faintly hear the roars of demon beasts.


    What happened?


    Could it be that some magical beasts were fighting over territory?


    However, according to the previous Little Tiger, Xiao Yu now, this Desolate Valley was a weak spot. There was no production in the valley, and it was in a world that they didn''t care about. Normally, there wouldn''t be any magical beasts.


    On the day that Lu Feng arrived, Xiao Yu happened to pass by and smelled the blood emitting from him before running over to check out the situation. In the end, she became Lu Feng''s pet and started a different kind of tiger.


    Now that there were so many demonic beasts'' auras here, it must have happened because of something big. Furthermore, Lu Feng could vaguely feel that the auras of the few demonic beasts in the valley seemed somewhat familiar.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Feng unfurled his body and silently walked towards the desolate valley.

 C36 Soul Crystal

    Arriving at the top of the valley, Lu Feng hid his figure and looked into the valley.


    In the valley, there were five magical beasts divided into five different directions. Each of them was staring at the other like a tiger eyeing its prey.


    There really was an old acquaintance of Lu Feng inside.


    The Flying Python King, the Raging Flames Lion, and the Worldbear that had participated in the siege that day were all shockingly gathered here.


    However, the three of them were no longer in a controlled state and were no longer in the same camp. They each occupied a different direction and were looking unkindly at the other four magical beasts. Their eyes were clearly filled with greed and reluctance.


    Lu Feng had never seen the other two before.


    One of them was a golden male eagle. It was extremely tall, almost a meter tall with a sharp beak and sharp claws. It was truly terrifying!


    At this moment, the falcon had folded its wings and was standing on the ground. It didn''t back down in the slightest as it confronted the other four magical beasts.


    On the other side was a relatively smaller green colored huge cow. On its head was a pair of sharp horns and its entire body was surrounded by countless air whirls. It was actually a rare wind-attributed Demon Cow.


    It was said that its size was relatively small compared to a normal Demonic Cow''s size. In fact, of the five magical beasts present, it was the largest.


    With Lu Feng''s keen eyesight, he could immediately tell that out of the five magical beasts present, this one was the strongest, and its strength was at the peak of Xiantian. With half a foot, it had already stepped into the yellow rank.


    In fact, because of the innate talents of the demonic beasts themselves, a speaker would most likely be defeated and run away from the demonic cow, much less control it.


    That golden eagle was an existence close to the peak of the Xiantian realm. In addition to its flying advantage, it was also a thorny opponent.


    In comparison, the three demonic beasts that had participated in the siege were slightly weaker. Among them, the Flying Python King only had the strength of a mid-stage Xiantian.


    Of course, snake-type magical beasts were already very difficult to deal with. Even if their strength was a small realm lower, they still might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.


    At the very least, the Earth Bear and the Raging Flames Lion, who had once teamed up with the Flying Python King, wouldn''t dare say that they could definitely defeat the Flying Python King.


    The five magical beasts formed a circle, facing each other from afar.


    Around them lay a variety of magical beast corpses, many of which were in the middle and late stages of the Xiantian realm.


    On the bodies of the five beasts, there were more or less some injuries.


    Before Lu Feng had arrived, a fierce battle had taken place here, and the victors were the five magical beasts.


    The center of the circle surrounded by the five magical beasts immediately attracted all of Lu Feng''s attention.


    It was a shiny, black octagonal crystal that was about the size of a palm. It was lying on the ground quietly and was completely spotless.


    Soul crystals!


    Lu Feng''s eyes narrowed.


    Obviously, the magical beasts were fighting for the octagonal crystal in the middle, which was also the one that Lu Feng almost yelled out in surprise for.


    In Lu Feng''s memories, soul crystals were a type of soul fragment, a type of special crystal formed by an expert of extremely high realms. After dying and dissipating, the soul force was far too strong, so it had turned into a special crystal during the process of dissipating.


    Soul crystals that contained fragments of a powerful practitioner''s memories and a large amount of soul energy were extremely useful in the cultivation of those who obtained them. Their effects were definitely higher than those of the innate spirit fruits.


    Since ancient times, such things rarely appeared due to the harsh conditions for the formation of soul crystals. Every time one appeared, regardless of whether one was an immortal or not, they would become fanatical enough to cause countless storms of blood.


    The reason why the soul crystal in front of him had moved Lu Feng''s mind was because of the aura it gave off. Lu Feng was very familiar with it and had a very close feeling. In his mind, there was even a voice urging him: Hurry up and snatch that soul crystal!


    There was no other reason. This soul crystal was precisely Lu Feng, or rather, all of them.


    It turned out that when the chaos bell broke through the void and came to this unknown space, the supreme remnant soul force had no choice but to release the control of the chaos bell. Due to the excessive consumption, the remnant soul had temporarily lost all consciousness and was about to dissipate.


    At this moment, the Primal Chaos Bell just happened to discover the corpse of Lu Feng lying on the ground.


    Due to his desire to protect his master, the Primal Chaos Bell had spontaneously injected the remnant soul into the corpse, allowing him to borrow the corpse to return the soul and survive.


    However, back then, the number one person below the Saint level, being able to fight against the eight Ancestral Warlocks by himself, his remnant soul was simply too huge for Lu Feng''s weak body, causing his body to be unable to contain such a large amount of energy. A large part of his soul power had been extracted from the remaining soul of the Supreme One, dispersing in this area, which was also the real reason why the green-eyed tiger, Xiao Yu, was attracted over here.


    After Tai Yi woke up, he busied himself with adapting to his new body, and due to some fortuitous encounters, he managed to tame Xiao Yu. Furthermore, he wasn''t familiar with his surroundings, so he didn''t notice the situation around him.


    The person who had subdued Xiao Yu and inherited Lu Feng''s name, Tai Yi, had immediately left the Desolate Valley. He had left behind a large amount of soul force and filled the entire Desolate Valley.


    This valley was also a desolate place. There was no place for soul force to spread, and the miasma inside the valley was filled with poison, making soul force repellent.


    It took countless coincidences to form this soul crystal.


    As soon as the soul crystals were formed, they were immediately detected by the surrounding top magical beasts. Numerous Xiantian and above magical beasts had gathered in this desolate valley, surrounding the soul crystals and engaging in a fierce battle.


    In the end, the remaining five most powerful magical beasts became a stalemate. No one could defeat all of their opponents by themselves, and they would have sole ownership of the soul crystals. None of them were willing to give up, so the stalemate took place in front of them.


    As for Lu Feng, his uneasiness these past few days was due to the fact that soul crystals related to him were about to be formed.


    It had to be known that Lu Feng was born from a soul fragment that had inherited Taiyi''s power. There was a natural attraction between him and the soul crystals.


    Although Lu Feng retained a large portion of his memories, because his foundation was too poor, the amount of soul force he received in the past was close to nothing. Because of that, even though he had successfully developed the powerful effects of the absolute body, and also successfully cultivated the ''Demon Emperor''s Shuntian'' art and the ''Heaven-Revolving Star Battle Art'', his progress was too slow.


    Right now, this soul crystal that originated from Tai Yi was right in front of him. It could be said to be within reach.


    If he could successfully obtain and refine this soul crystal, then Lu Feng''s strength would greatly increase, and his cultivation speed would experience a tremendous change.


    It could be said that Lu Feng was determined to obtain this soul crystal that originally belonged to him.

 C37 Sitting in the Mountains and Watching the Beast Fight

    However, Lu Feng was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, which was equivalent to the strength of the early Xiantian realm. Compared to the five powerful magical beasts, he was nothing.


    Although Lu Feng, with the advantage of his Heaven''s End Tyrant Body, could truly reach the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, or even the late stage of the Xiantian realm, the weakest Flying Python King present was close to the strength of the late stage of the Xiantian realm. Not to mention, Lu Feng was now facing the combined assault of five demon beasts.


    After analyzing the situation, Lu Feng could only helplessly choose to temporarily stay in hibernation and wait for the time to come.


    As time passed, the situation within the valley quietly changed.


    The five magical beasts that had originally been on their own had silently split into two sides.


    The Flying Python King, the Fierce Lion of Flames and the Earth Bear, who had been temporary teammates for the past few days, seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with each other.


    On the other side, on the side of the Demon Cow and the Golden Eagle, there were two arrogant magical beasts that did not seem to care about joining hands. They looked at the small group formed by the three magical beasts with disdain.


    Looking at the scene in front of them, the three relatively weaker magical beasts formed a group. The golden falcon and the demonic cow stood on their respective sides, looking like they had three legs.


    At this moment, the Demon Cow seemed to have lost its patience. It gave a loud snort.


    Following the Demon Cow''s snort, a huge wind blade quickly formed in front of it.


    The wind blades disappeared in a flash as they flew toward the three magical beasts. Their target was the weakest of the three, the Flying Python King.


    The Flying Python King did not expect that the Azure Skysnake would focus its first attack on him. Facing the wind blades at a very fast speed, he had a feeling that he was caught off guard.


    But the Flying Python King was not just for show. Its title of Flying Python, was earned its name because of its explosive power, being able to temporarily soar in the air.


    Seeing that the wind blades were about to reach him, the Flying Python King''s huge body shrank and shot diagonally towards the distance with a ''whoosh''.


    The huge wind blade swept past the Flying Python King''s body, taking away a few scales, but it was not able to injure it heavily. It quickly disappeared into the mountain wall behind, and with a loud noise, it brought a large amount of mountain rocks and broke through the mountain wall, falling into the valley with a loud bang.


    The Flying Python King who had just landed on the ground heard the loud noise behind him and thought to himself that he was lucky, this Azure Python was too strong, he definitely wouldn''t be its opponent in a one-on-one fight.


    Without waiting for the Flying Python King to finish rejoicing, the sound of breaking wind suddenly came from all around, but the Azure Python King saw that its attack failed and its face lost all light. Under its anger, it directly sent out a large wind blade, quickly attacking towards the Flying Python King.


    The Flying Python King was also a bit angry. This Azure Skysnake had tried to kill him time and time again, did he really think he was a soft persimmon?


    "Hiss!"


    The Flying Python King flicked his tongue, and water arrows flew around in the air, clashing with the wind blades and clashing with them.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    "¡­ ¡­" Wind blades collided with water arrows one after another, creating loud booms. The entire valley was filled with torrential winds as water droplets flew everywhere. It was as if there was a torrential storm.


    Waiting until Feng Zhiyu stopped, in the viewing gallery, the scales on the Flying Python King''s body split open, and he stood there covered in blood, next to a collapsed mountain wall. His aura was a little weak, but he still fiercely stared in front of him.


    Looking at the Azure Skysnake Python, it was still in its original position, panting for breath. Its bell-like eyes sized up the Flying Python King with great interest.


    Obviously, compared to the Flying Python King''s heavy injuries and the fact that it was supporting itself with strength, the Azure Skysnake Bull, a beast that was like a king, had the absolute advantage.


    As for the other three magical beasts, they weren''t idle either. They were already fighting like a raging fire.


    So it turned out that when the Flying Python King was attacked, the Raging Flames Lion and the Worldbear were both preparing to save him.


    Although the three sides had reached a temporary agreement and were prepared to fight together, the two beasts didn''t really want to save the Flying Python King''s life. Instead, they had endless fun sneaking an attack on the Azure Python and taking care of the strongest opponent on the scene.


    Unfortunately, the Golden Feathered Hawk on the other side was not an easy opponent.


    Seeing the movements of the two beasts, how could the Golden-Feathered Falcons not know what they were scheming?


    To be honest, the Golden Eagles didn''t mind making the Azure Skysnake Python suffer a little, but once the three beasts joined forces, it was no match for the Azure Skysnake Python.


    If he let them easily kill the Azure Python, he wouldn''t be able to withstand it. He could only watch as the three of them divided the enticing and mysterious crystal core.


    The Golden Feathered Hawk understood the concept of lips losing teeth and teeth, maybe it could only temporarily lend the Azure Python a hand.


    With a loud cry, the Golden Eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the Earth Bear. Its sharp beak, which was stronger than steel, viciously flew towards the Earth Bear.


    It had attacked the Earth Bear and let go of the blazing lion, thinking, the Fiery Lion is a fire type demon beast, and the Azure Skysnake Bull is a wind type demon beast, so against the Azure Skysnake Bull, the lion''s might can be increased, and with the help of the Flying Python King, it would be on par with the Azure Skysnake Python Bull.


    Unfortunately, the bird''s calculations were not as good as the heavens'', and the Raging Flames Lion was not stupid as well. It knew that even if it had the support of the five elements, coupled with the Flying Python King, it would only be a tie with the Azure Python.


    As such, after seeing that the Golden Eagles had intercepted the Earth Bear, the Raging Flames Lion simply turned around and countless fireballs, like machine guns, shot towards the figure that was pouncing from the sky.


    The Golden Feathered Hawk, which was originally heading straight for the Earth Bear, paled when it saw that the Fierce Blazing Lion did not go to deal with the Azure Skysnake first and instead aim its spear at it.


    One had to know that the Golden Eagles themselves were metal-type magical beasts. They feared fire-type magical beasts the most, because their metal-type abilities were completely suppressed by the fire-type.


    On the contrary, against an earth elites like the Earth Bear, the Golden Eagles had countless advantages.


    Now, the Raging Flames Lion had chosen to join hands with the Earth Bear. Not only did it restrain the Golden Eagle, it also increased the might of the Earth Bear.


    The Earth Bear looked simple and honest on the outside, but it was actually very cunning. Seeing that the Fiery Lion had come to its rescue, it immediately braced itself and used its Stone Armour Technique, Earth Wall Technique, Earth Spear Technique and Meteor Technique camera, smashing towards the Golden Eagles from all directions.


    Comparatively speaking, the two beasts'' strengths were only slightly weaker than that of the Golden-Feathered Eagle. The Fierce Lion of Flames was on equal footing with the Golden-Feathered Eagle. Now that they had joined hands, they immediately suppressed the Gold Feathered Eagle.


    If it weren''t for the fact that the Golden Eagles relied on their aerial superiority as flying magical beasts, they would have been injured by the waves of fierce attacks.

 C38 Fishing Profits

    Looking at the Golden Eagles that had been beaten down by the Raging Flames Lion and the Worldbear, the Azure Python''s face revealed a very human-like expression of ridicule.


    Meanwhile, taking advantage of the Azure Python''s turn, the Flying Python King saw that the situation wasn''t good and was prepared to sneak away.


    After the previous exchange of blows, the Flying Python King whose strength was obviously inferior to the Azure Python''s had obviously suffered a great loss. At this moment, it already had signs of not being able to endure any longer, and it had the intention of retreating; thus, it took advantage of this opportunity to prepare to escape.


    The Azure Python suddenly turned its head when it heard the movement behind it, and it looked coldly at the Flying Python King.


    In the next moment, the Azure Python''s body suddenly disappeared.


    When he reappeared, the Azure Python had already arrived before the mountain wall, and on its sharp left corner hung a thick python. It wasn''t the Flying Python King or who?


    Swinging its head, the Azure Python threw away the Flying Python King''s body, raised its huge hooves, and suddenly stomped down, heavily stepping on the Flying Python King''s seven inches.


    The poor Flying Python King, without even using his final physical entanglement, had already lost his life under the hooves of the cows.


    Such speed!


    Upon seeing the Azure Python suddenly disappear and reappear, Lu Feng, who was above the valley, almost cried out in alarm.


    In the eyes of Lu Feng, the Azure Python just now used a technique similar to the Phantom Shadow Clone Technique and rushed to the Flying Python King''s side. Its sharp horns borrowed the force of the quick impact to break through the Flying Python King''s defense and directly pierced through the heart.


    After that, the Azure Skysnake Python''s sudden appearance had already succeeded.


    Now, the situation on the battlefield had changed once again. The Azure Skysnake Python, the strongest amongst them, had become a spectator, while the Golden Eagles, which were slightly weaker, were being suppressed.


    The three beasts in the midst of battle had already unleashed their true flames, completely disregarding the fact that the Azure Python''s greatest enemy was right in front of it, especially the Golden Eagles. As a top-tier magical beast, they were actually being suppressed by two lowly magical beasts.


    As a result, the Golden Eagles also took action. Despite being restrained in their attributes, they were still able to rely on their extremely hard and sharp feathers as well as their two sharp claws and beaks to continuously attack the Fiery Lion and the Earth Bear from the sky.


    Although the Earth Bear was famous for its defense, as an earth attribute magical beast, it was naturally able to increase the attack power of the Golden Eagles. As a result, facing the desperate attacks of the Golden Eagles, the Earth Bear quickly started to get injured.


    At the end of the fight, the Earth Bear was covered in cuts and bruises. Some of them were bone deep, and its body was covered in blood. It was hard to tell the color of its fur.


    Although it was trying its best to avoid facing both the Raging Flames Lion and the Worldbear at the same time, the originally beautiful golden feathers were still burned into spots, and there were even broken golden feathers floating in the air.


    If they were to continue fighting in this manner, the final result would definitely be the Golden Eagles perishing together with the Earth Bear. The Raging Flames Lion was also severely injured, and the Azure Skysnake Python Cow had taken advantage of it.


    At this moment, a change occurred. The three fighting demonic beasts suddenly gave up on their opponents and charged towards the Azure Python.


    The Azure Skysnake Bull was originally watching the play when it was suddenly attacked. Caught off guard, the Azure Skysnake was the first to be struck by one of the Worldbear''s stone pillars. Its body bent and it had no choice but to fall to the side.


    Following that, the blazing lion''s fireball arrived, and countless fist-sized fireballs continuously smashed down on the Azure Python''s body. The raging flames were like maggots, burning the Azure Python''s bones, causing it to let out a miserable howl.


    Subsequently, the Golden-Ringed Eagle swiftly flashed past the Azure Skysnake, and with a flap of its golden feathers, it fiercely swept its gaze towards the neck of the Azure Skysnake.


    Even though the Azure Python was as fast as the wind, it still suffered serious injuries after being hit by the fast moving attacks. Especially the last wing of the Golden Eagles, it almost severed its neck. Although the Azure Skysnake dodged very quickly, a large portion of its bloody fur was still cut off.


    Once again using his Phantom Shadow, the berserk Azure Python suddenly appeared beside the Fiery Lion. Its sharp horn pierced deeply into the bottom of the lion''s foreleg, bringing with it a huge impact as it flew far away.


    Immediately afterwards, the Azure Skysnake Bull dashed towards the Worldbear.


    Its four hooves moved like the wind as it approached the Earth Bear. The Azure Skysnake stood up and stomped down with its two hooves. It was impressively a battle trampling technique.


    As the earth churned, the blood soaked body of the Worldbear was thrown high into the air and powerlessly fell to the ground.


    However, the Azure Skysnake didn''t plan to let go of the Earth Bear. It quickly chased after the Earth Bear, then rose into the air and appeared above the body of the Earth Bear. Under the horrified gaze of the Earth Bear, it swept its iron hooves and smashed the Earth Bear onto the ground.


    When the dust cleared, there was a huge bear shaped crater on the ground. The Earth Bear was lying at the bottom of the crater, and it was already a corpse.


    No one would have imagined that the Azure Skysnake Bull, in its rage, would have such terrifying strength. In the time it took to jump up and down, it had already severely injured the Raging Flames Lion and killed the already severely injured Earth Bear.


    The three demonic beasts, once again regaining their three-legged position, charged into each other without hesitation. In order to obtain the soul crystal that countless people dreamed of, they went all out.


    The three demon beasts had completely forgotten themselves as they engaged in battle. Their only thought was to quickly kill the opponent in front of them and then escape with their spoils of war to heal their wounds and recover their strength.


    Lu Feng''s silhouette slowly appeared at the bottom of the valley, quietly observing this stunning battle from the sidelines.


    Greed, indeed, could blind the eyes!


    Suddenly, he felt that the bottleneck in his body had disappeared. Right next to the battlefield where the Demon Beast Battlefield was, Lu Feng had levelled up.


    Sensing the energy flowing through his body, Lu Feng let out a long sigh of relief.


    To Lu Feng, being able to raise his cultivation by a level at a critical moment was like a timely rain.


    "Stop!"


    Lu Feng''s aura soared. Suddenly, he let out a loud shout that shook the whole area.


    When the three magical beasts felt the sudden presence, they were startled. The redness in their eyes receded and they regained their clarity of mind.


    However, the Azure Skysnake Python Bull hated the Raging Flames Lion''s sudden sneak attack, and just as the Raging Flames Lion was about to stop, it used its best move, the Phantom Shadow skill. It arrived in front of the Raging Flames Lion and raised its head, its sharp horns piercing deeply into the lion''s jaw.


    Under the sneak attack of the Azure Python Python, the Raging Flames Lion, which was already severely injured, collapsed to the ground, on its deathbed.

 C39 Strong Reinforcements

    "What a murderous beast!"


    Lu Feng''s pupils constricted, and he looked at the Azure Python with slight displeasure.


    However, after the Azure Skysnake Python had given the Fierce Lion a fatal blow, it could no longer hold up its huge body and crashed onto the ground with a loud bang. It looked at Lu Feng with a pleading look in its eyes.


    Lu Feng ignored the Azure Skysnake Python lying on the ground, and instead looked towards the Golden Eagles that were also exhausted.


    At this time, the Golden Feathered Hawk no longer had its usual grandeur as an aerial overlord. Its entire body was covered with mottled black feathers and one of its wings was hanging down. It was standing on the ground dispiritedly as its body continuously trembled.


    Lu Feng walked to the center of the arena, bent down, and picked up the soul crystal on the ground. With a sigh, he said to the two beasts, "For this piece of soul crystal that isn''t of much use to you, you almost lost your lives here. Is it worth it?"


    Seeing the octagonal crystal in Lu Feng''s hand, the eyes of the two beasts flashed with greed and then dimmed.


    "If I heal your injuries, are you willing to submit to me?"


    Lu Feng stood in front of the two beasts and asked indifferently.


    The Azure Skysnake Python, which had already resigned itself to its fate, struggled to raise its head. It stared fixedly at Lu Feng, its eyes filled with a yearning for life.


    The Golden Eagles were a bit better off, but from the looks of it, they wouldn''t be able to hold on for long. If they couldn''t get help from Lu Feng, they would only be waiting for their deaths.


    Moreover, that mysterious crystal had already been obtained by Lu Feng, and his last hope was gone.


    In the end, the Golden Eagles nodded towards Lu Feng with difficulty, agreeing to submit to him.


    The two beasts have already agreed to play. Lu Feng said seriously, "Since you have agreed to submit, you must not have any different intentions.


    If you have the heart to betray me, I will not let you off lightly! "


    The two beasts were silent for a long time before they nodded resolutely, agreeing.


    "Good, now let go of your Sea of Consciousness. This young master wants to sign a soul contract with you!"


    Lu Feng said to the two beasts. Although the two beasts had agreed to submit, they still needed to use the necessary methods.


    Seeing that the two beasts were ready, Lu Feng formed a hand seal with his hand and released two streams of primeval essence into the Sea of Consciousness of the two beasts, which he branded himself with.


    The two beasts cooperated well throughout the entire process, showing no signs of resisting.


    After doing all this, Lu Feng took out two Small Revitalizing Pellets and threw them to the two beasts.


    The Small Revitalizing Pellet that Lu Feng refined, although it was made from some of the lower grade medicinal materials, was refined using a secret technique that was unique to Lu Feng. In the end, the pills that were refined would be extremely useful for Heaven Stage experts, not to mention these two beasts, these ordinary magical beasts that had not yet reached the yellow rank.


    Receiving the pill thrown at them by Lu Feng, the two beasts swallowed it without any hesitation. The Golden Eagles even laid on the ground and began to absorb the surrounding heaven and earth origin energy to heal their wounds.


    Lu Feng took out a few pieces of low grade Source Stones and placed a simple Origin Convergence Array around the eagle to help it recover its strength and speed up the healing process.


    Then, Lu Feng came to the side of the Azure Python, saying, "Your injuries are extremely severe, you have already injured your Essence.


    Now, release the protection around your body, I will help you dissolve the medicinal power. "


    The Azure Python glanced at Lu Feng gratefully, then removed its defensive barrier, allowing Lu Feng''s true essence to enter its body.


    Lu Feng was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he first laid a hidden Qi formation in the valley, and then placed a similar small source array around the Azure Skysnake Bull, and then he arrived beside the Azure Skysnake Bull. He placed his right hand on the back of the Azure Skysnake, and began to mobilize his primeval essence to help the Azure Skysnake Bull heal its wounds.


    Even though Lu Feng''s cultivation was not as good as that of the Azure Skysnake Bull, but the purity of his primeval essence was not something that an unorthodox magical beast like the Azure Skysnake Bull could compare with.


    Lu Feng''s true essence caused the Azure Skysnake Python''s body to have some mixed true essence. It wrapped around the medicinal strength of the Small Revitalizing Pellet and quickly circulated within the Azure Skysnake''s body, healing its injured areas.


    During this process, the Azure Skysnake Bull''s true essence was constantly affected by Lu Feng''s influence, constantly removing and preserving the true essence. At the same time, it also absorbed a massive amount of heaven and earth origin energy from its surroundings, refining it into its own body and transforming it into its own cultivation.


    When the injuries were mostly healed, the Azure Skysnake Bull actually showed signs of advancing.


    "You beast, your luck is quite good. Under these circumstances, you actually had an unexpected surprise.


    Forget it, since you have followed this young master, this young master will lend you a hand! "


    Lu Feng sighed as he looked at the Azure Skysnake Bull. This fellow was truly lucky. Even though he had barely survived, he had actually broken through the bottleneck and was about to enter the yellow level.


    However, the Azure Skysnake Bull had yet to recover from its injuries after all, and it wasn''t able to completely break through to the Yellow Rank.


    Lu Feng sighed with emotion. He took out his Trinity Cauldron, took out a few medicinal herbs from his Heaven and Earth Pouch, and began to refine some medicinal pills.


    These medicinal ingredients were all casually picked up by Lu Feng on the way over the past few days. Adding them to the collection in Lu Feng''s Qiankun bag, there was just enough for him to refine a batch of Barrier Breaking Pellets.


    As the name implied, the Barrier Breaking Pill was used to help cultivators to break through their current cultivation realm, and it contained a large amount of pure heaven and earth origin energy, which was just suitable for the current condition of the Azure Skysnake Python. As the name implied, the Barrier Breaking Pill was used to assist a cultivator to break through their current cultivation level, and it contained a large amount of pure heaven and earth origin energy, which was just suitable for the current condition of the Azure Python.


    In order to speed up the process of concocting pills, Lu Feng threw all the primeval stones he had into the Trinity Cauldron, and then used the effect of the Origin Convergence Array to continuously guide the heaven and earth origin energy into the cauldron, speeding up the formation of the pills.


    Along with the rapid influx of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, a small whirlpool of Essence Qi gradually formed around Lu Feng''s body. The whirlpool spun continuously around Lu Feng as it poured into the cauldron.


    As for Lu Feng, both of his hands were dancing as he unleashed one incantation after another.


    "Gather!"


    As Lu Feng executed the final spell, he stopped and stood still with a loud shout.


    The Yuan Qi around Lu Feng was like a long dragon diving into water. It quickly entered the cauldron and disappeared.


    When all the long dragons had sunk into the cauldron, the cauldron lid had vibrated three times, and the pill had already been refined.


    Opening the cauldron with a wave of his hand, Lu Feng took out the medicinal pellets within the cauldron. Without even checking the quantity, he quickly went to the side of the Azure Python, raised his hand and threw a medicinal pellet into the mouth of the Azure Python.


    Putting the remaining pellets into his Cosmic Bag, Lu Feng placed both of his palms onto the Azure Skysnake''s body, once again releasing his own true essence, spurring the Azure Skysnake''s true essence, quickly refining the Barrier Breaking Pill''s medicinal essence, and replenishing the Azure Skysnake''s dantian that seemed to be almost dried up.


    As the energy from the Barrier Breaking Pill dispersed, the vast spiritual energy filled the Azure Skysnake Python''s meridians, which were almost exhausted. Under the guidance of Lu Feng, the Qi began to circulate in the Azure Python''s body.


    His cultivation went through 36 cycles, all the spirit energy was converted to the Azure Skysnake Bull. With the help of Lu Feng, the originally mixed primeval essence became much purer.


    With the completion of another major circulation, all of his true essence suddenly retracted and entered the Azure Skysnake Python''s dantian, continuously compressing itself.


    At this point, Lu Feng did not dare to be negligent and used all of his primeval essence to quickly enter the Azure Python''s body to help it compress its bloated dantian.


    At this moment, all of the true essence within the Azure Python''s dantian was constantly revolving and compressing, with the center as the fulcrum.


    Slowly, a golden core the size of a green bean appeared in the Azure Python''s dantian.


    The moment the Jindan formed, it began to absorb the true essence and quickly strengthen itself.


    "Done!"


    Lu Feng withdrew his palm and retreated, allowing the Azure Skysnake to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, strengthening the aurous core, and consolidating its cultivation.

 C40 Soul Crystal Absorption

    After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the aura emitted from the Azure Python''s body suddenly magnified. It then retracted itself and opened its eyes, standing up from the ground.


    Arriving in front of Lu Feng, the Azure Python''s two front legs knelt down, and its large head nodded its head. It had truly pledged its allegiance to Lu Feng.


    "Since you''ve sincerely submitted, this young master will give you another round of good fortune!"


    Looking at the Azure Skysnake Python that was bowing to him, Lu Feng smiled in satisfaction. His men had gained another powerful fighter, and they could go all the way to the Greencloud City.


    Lu Feng, who was happy in his heart, had the thought of helping the Azure Python.


    At this moment, the Azure Skysnake Python''s body was slightly smaller than before, and its aura was reserved. If one didn''t pay careful attention, they would definitely be treated as an ordinary old bull and not a top demonic beast.


    After hearing Lu Feng''s words, the Azure Python gave a "moo" and nodded its large head. It seemed to have completely accepted Lu Feng''s ability, giving off an impatient feeling.


    Lu Feng activated his secret technique. With a light wave of his left hand, a gentle wave of primeval essence enveloped the head of the Azure Skysnake Bull.


    After his true essence had dissipated, Lu Feng, whose complexion was somewhat tired, said to the Azure Python, "Let''s see if you have the ability to speak human words."


    "Master."


    A thick middle-aged man''s voice rang out. It was the Azure Skysnake Bull. It was trying to sound out Lu Feng''s name.


    "Thank you, Master!"


    He was sure that he could speak the human tongue. The Azure Skysnake was overjoyed as this was an ability that could only be possessed by Xuan Beasts and above. Now, with the help of his master, he already possessed this ability ahead of time.


    The Azure Skysnake Python once again kneeled in front of Lu Feng, thanking him.


    Lu Feng''s expression turned serious, and signaled the Azure Python to continue kneeling, and said solemnly: "Azure Python, I nominate you as my mount in the name of the Eastern Emperor, my name is Old Black!


    Do you have any objections? "


    Sensing Lu Feng''s imposing aura, the Azure Python''s big head nodded its head, "Thank you for the name. In the future, Old Black will follow you and bow to the death!"


    Pointing to the Azure Python''s head, Lu Feng turned around to face the Golden Eagles, who were still recovering.


    The Golden-Ringed Eagle''s foundation was not as good as that of the Azure Skysnake Python, and although its injuries were slightly lighter, it was still heavily injured due to the damage to its foundation. Wanting to completely recover would require a day''s worth of effort.


    "Ol ''Black, the Golden Eagles are currently healing themselves. It looks like they will need some time."


    And this young master wants to absorb that piece of crystal.


    So, this young master will temporarily go into seclusion to act as my protector.


    "Anyone who dares to approach this place will be killed without question!"


    After obtaining the soul crystal condensed from his own soul force, Lu Feng had long since been unable to hold himself back. The only reason he could endure for so long was because he wanted to help the Azure Skysnake Bull break through.


    "Master, don''t worry and go into closed-door training. As long as I, Old Black, have a breath of air, I will definitely not let any petty villains approach the place where Master is training in seclusion."


    The Azure Skysnake Python had just advanced, and it was time to be full of confidence. It spoke to Lu Feng without hesitation.


    "Very well.


    Old Black, please take care of the Golden-Ringed Falcon while you''re at it, in case any mishap happens to it.


    If the Golden Eagles'' healing is over, let them follow you for the time being and protect me together.


    This young master will begin his closed door cultivation. "


    Lu Feng gave some instructions and got up to walk towards the end of the valley. There was a small cave there that was suitable for Lu Feng to use as a temporary place for his closed door cultivation.


    After Lu Feng entered the cave, the Azure Python stood loyally at the entrance of the valley. It was looking after the Jin Ling Ying as it healed, and it was also guarding Lu Feng.


    After entering the cave, Lu Feng found a flat area and began to lay down a complicated formation on the rocks.


    If someone with a high cultivation was here, they should be able to see that Lu Feng was setting up a mutated source energy array. Not only could it gather a lot of heaven and earth origin energy, it could also absorb the soul power of the surrounding creatures after they died, which was not completely dissipated in the air. It could be used to nurture one''s own soul, repair the injuries to the soul, or enhance the strength of the soul, and expand the range of the Sea of Consciousness.


    After setting up the formation, Lu Feng walked to the center and sat down cross-legged. He then took out the Cyan Spirit Pill, the Qi Replenishing Pill, and the Barrier Breaking Pill he had just refined and placed them beside him.


    It was at this time that Lu Feng finally had the time to take a look at the Barrier Breaking Pill he had just refined.


    Other than the Heavenly Azure Python''s pill, Lu Feng still had five other pills in his possession. If used properly, they would be enough to create five powerful Yellow Rank experts. But now, they could only be used as support for Lu Feng''s soul crystal absorption.


    After making certain preparations, Lu Feng took out the palm-sized octagonal crystal.


    Sensing the familiar energy fluctuation above, Lu Feng''s eyes turned hot, almost tearing up.


    He, the number one person below the Saint level, was now in such a dire situation. Even a Aurous Core stage demon beast would be happy for a long time.


    Sigh!


    Sometimes!


    Life!


    As long as he didn''t become a saint, then he would have to struggle his way through this endless world for a day.


    Only by becoming a Saint of the Primordius would one be able to achieve true eternal damnation.


    At this moment, Lu Feng was once again firm in his heart. Everything he did was for his final goal ¨C becoming a Saint!


    After sighing for a while, Lu Feng calmed himself down and started circulating the Revolving Star Dou Technique to recover the lacking primeval essence in his body.


    Just now, helping the Azure Skysnake Bull heal, concoct pills, break through, and heal its wounds had already consumed a lot of Lu Feng''s energy. If he were to absorb soul crystals in this state, he would definitely end up in a miserable state.


    After cultivating for thirty-six cycles and sensing the abundant soul force within his body, Lu Feng finally picked up the soul crystal and prepared to receive what was originally his.


    Sitting in the middle of the array, Lu Feng maintained his "five hearts facing the sky" posture and started to circulate the Star Dou Technique again.


    Under an inexplicable attraction force, the soul crystal slowly floated up. It continuously rotated between Lu Feng''s chest and abdomen, releasing strands of light green gas. It was the mysterious soul force.


    At the same time, the spell formation was activated as countless heaven and earth origin energy entered Lu Feng''s body, helping him to refine those wisps of soul power.


    With Lu Feng''s current cultivation, he did not dare to rashly increase his speed. Although the soul power was the same origin of his soul, the endurance of this body was limited. If his speed was too fast, it would easily cause backlash to the body, and even cause irreversible damage to the body.


    As the light green gas was continuously refined, it turned into an incomparably pure energy that was replenished into Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness. Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness slowly expanded in size and his soul slowly solidified.


    After seven full days of continuous refinement by Lu Feng, that palm-sized soul crystal was finally completely absorbed by him.


    Sensing that his soul had become more solid and his sea of consciousness had expanded by more than a fold, Lu Feng was overjoyed. Now that he had found this part of soul force, he could finally free himself from the restraints of his body and embark on a great road of cultivation.

 C41 Chaos Clock Return

    Right now, Lu Feng was using all of his strength to activate the formation, continuously absorbing the boundless Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and the scattered soul forces to nourish his soul and cultivation base.


    After a few cycles, when Lu Feng felt that his dantian could no longer hold more true energy, he stopped absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world. He then operated the Shuntian, beginning to refine his own body.


    After repeating this several times, Lu Feng finally stopped and stood up.


    Using his spiritual sense to examine his surroundings, Lu Feng discovered that he had successfully broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. At this point, his cultivation was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.


    What made Lu Feng even happier was that his Spiritual Sense''s strength had already reached the level of an Aurous Core stage cultivator. To be able to release his Spiritual Sense ahead of time was yet another unexpected surprise.


    Calculating the time, it was about time for the Skystar Academy to come to Greencloud City to select their disciples. Lu Feng prepared to bring the two new demon beasts back to the city.


    Right at this time, Lu Feng suddenly felt his sea of consciousness tremble before calming down.


    Lu Feng was puzzled. This was something that had been happening for tens of thousands of years in his past life.


    After that, Lu Feng once again sat down cross-legged and used his Spiritual Sense to investigate his own Sea of Consciousness.


    Although from an outsider''s point of view, Lu Feng felt that it was a very small matter. However, Lu Feng believed that one must find out the reason behind the sudden vibration of the Sea of Consciousness and its unusual aura, since they were not in the cultivation state and did not encounter any attacks.


    Otherwise, this could very well become a shackle on Lu Feng''s path of cultivation.


    Compared to before, Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness had expanded by more than twice. Coupled with the fact that Lu Feng had been very careful and didn''t want to give up any clues, it would naturally take him some time to explore.


    Finally, when they reached the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, Lu Feng finally found out the reason behind the vibration of the Sea of Consciousness.


    Lu Feng was overjoyed and quickly used his Spiritual Sense to go closer.


    It turned out that the Primal Chaos Bell, which had been quietly floating in Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness, finally reacted. It no longer remained motionless, but was slowly rotating with a dark yellow light.


    However, because Lu Feng hadn''t established a connection with the chaos clock before, he didn''t immediately notice the changes to the clock just now, which was why he was so cautious.


    As soon as Lu Feng''s spiritual sense approached the rotating Primal Chaos Bell, he immediately sensed a mysterious suction force.


    In the next moment, Lu Feng''s spiritual sense suddenly dimmed.


    After waking up from his stupor, Lu Feng realized that he had arrived at a wondrous place.


    This place was a world of its own, but at this moment, it was in complete chaos. The flowers, birds, fish, mountains, rivers and trees had all been turned into nothingness.


    Here, Lu Feng was extremely familiar with it.


    Because, this was the space within the Primal Chaos Bell.


    Back then, at the very end of the Lich War, Taiyi used the Heaven-Revolving Star Dou Formation to solo the attacks of the Ancestral Magi.


    At that time, among the Twelve Ancestral Magi of the Witch Clan, the Gong Gong Ancestral Shaman was unable to reach the peak and died after colliding with the Sky Pillar. Although the Ancestor Shaman of the Voodoo Clan was said to be flying without limits, he died after being besieged by the Immortal Path; the Ancestral Shaman of the afterworld sacrificed himself for the power of the Witch clan.


    As for the remaining nine great Ancestral Mages, eight of them surrounded and attacked Taiyi and their brother, Di Jun. The Xuanming Ancestral Shaman, who had the highest level of mastery, was left behind in the Nuwa Palace by Nuwa.


    During the great war, the demon general Kun Peng actually betrayed the demon clan due to watching the battle between the demon clan and the Witch clan gradually becoming unfavorable to him. At the most important moment of the battle between Di Jun and the Ancestral Witch, he turned into a great roc and stole the Emperor''s companion treasure, River TuoluoShu.


    After Di Jun died, he killed a few Great Ancestral Magi in a fit of rage. Seeing that he was gradually losing, the remaining few great Ancestral Magi, in rage, exploded their bodies one after another, finally seriously injuring him.


    Right at this moment, the Xuanming Ancestor Witch arrived. Tai Yi, seeing that he was no match, couldn''t help but shout into the sky, "The heavens and earth are heartless! They treat all living things as ruminating dogs, the saints and the living beings as ants! Since the heavens want to exterminate the demons, then I shall fight to the death today! "


    With these words, Taiyi ignited his Primordial Spirit, the Xuanming Ancestral Shaman, and the remaining few great Ancestral Magi to perish together.


    From then on, the two races gradually disappeared, and the people created by Three Purities began to explain the Three Churches, taking over the Great Desolate Land. After this, the two tribes gradually disappeared, and the Three Churches began to take over the Great Desolation Land, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, followed by the death of the Supreme One.


    In the tens of thousands of years after the Lich War, the remnant soul of the primal chaos was absorbed into the space in front of him, lingering on as it waited for the chance to revive.


    It was one of the three great postcelestial treasures, one of the three great postcelestial treasures, comparable to the taiji diagram in Old Lord Taishang''s hands. The Pangu Banner in Lord Yuan Shishi''s hands was equally famous, and its rank was even higher than Innate treasures like the Heaven and Earth Profound Exquisite Pagoda, the River Diagram, the Immortal Execution Four Swords and so on. It was not something that the Sky Flipping Seal and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier could be compared to.


    The effects of the Primal Chaos Bell can be divided into four parts: Subdue, Restrain, Attack, and Defense. It can suppress the elements of water, fire, wind, and all other living things in the world. It can shatter time and space.


    That year, it was too one-time. When facing an enemy, one would only need to raise the chaos clock to place themselves in an invincible position.


    It could be said that at least a third of Taiyi''s fame came from the primal chaos clock.


    Back then, in the Great Desolate Land, Taiyi controlled the primal chaos bell to suppress the Primordial World, and obtained the merits of opening the heavens. Back then, in the Primordial World, Taiyi controlled the primal chaos clock to suppress the primordial world, and he obtained the merits of opening the heavens.


    The so-called Great Dao 50, Sky Spill 49.


    It could be said that Taiyi was able to retain a sliver of his residual soul because it was protected by his merits. He was able to preserve a sliver of life.


    Now, the world had changed, time had changed, and Taiyi became the wind, and the chaos clock finally returned to Lu Feng''s hands.


    Looking at this familiar space, this familiar chaos, the corners of Lu Feng''s eyes turned sour, two drops of Hero''s tears fell down.


    What kind of hero was he back then?


    However, if one was not saintly, he would still be rootless and would not be able to compete with the Heavenly Dao.


    With a thought, Lu Feng''s soul left the space of the Chaos Bell and returned to his Sea of Consciousness.


    In the next moment, the simple little bell appeared in Lu Feng''s hand.


    Feeling the attachment from the chaos clock, Lu Feng smiled, "Old brother, since you''ve returned to this emperor''s side, then let us work together to create a new world in this different world!"


    The Primal Chaos Bell had been sleeping for a long time, and now that the sun had risen, it surrounded Lu Feng excitedly. It danced up and down, as if it was venting its frustrations.


    However, the body of the Primal Chaos Bell has always been the size of a fist. Obviously, the injuries sustained during the Lich War have yet to fully recover.


    Regarding this point, Lu Feng didn''t have any good ideas for now. He could only wait for an opportunity to appear.

 C42 Someone from Heavenly Star City

    Allowing the chaos clock to dance in the air for a while, Lu Feng once again withdrew the chaos clock back into his sea of consciousness and continued nurturing it.


    Right now, Lu Feng could be said to have undergone earth-shattering changes compared to when he first arrived in the noble territory. Especially since he had accidentally awakened the magical treasure known as the Primal Chaos Bell.


    However, Lu Feng was only at the final level of Foundation Establishment. He could not even compare to the ''what if'' in his previous life. Furthermore, the Primal Chaos Bell had not fully recovered yet.


    In other words, Lu Feng was not even able to unleash one billionth of the true might of the Primal Chaos Bell. However, it was enough for him to be able to dominate the entire Tian Yuan Continent.


    Even if he were to face a Xuan expert now, Lu Feng was confident that he would be able to escape safely.


    When Lu Feng''s figure appeared outside the cave again, the Azure Python, which had always been loyal to the protector, trotted over to Lu Feng.


    Immediately after, with a flash of golden light, the Golden Eagle, which had fully recovered from its injuries, landed on the ground in front of Lu Feng.


    "Congratulations master for emerging from seclusion, your cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds!"


    The Azure Skysnake Python was very honest and honest on the outside, who would have thought that it was actually a flattering expert. As soon as it arrived in front of Lu Feng, it immediately shouted in a low voice.


    At this time, not only had the Golden Feathered Hawk behind him fully recovered from its injuries, but its cultivation had also advanced to the peak of the Xiantian realm. It only needed to wait for its luck to arrive before it could ascend to the level of a Yellow Rank demon beast.


    Towards the Azure Skysnake Python''s flattery, the Golden Eagles were very dissatisfied, but they could not speak. They could only silently move around a little, acting like they were too embarrassed to be part of it. Their eyes were filled with gratitude and hope as they looked at Lu Feng.


    "Old Black, come here!"


    Lu Feng spoke faintly, but his tone was filled with an irresistible majesty.


    "Sigh, Master, Old Black is here!"


    The Azure Skysnake Python looked excited as it came over to Lu Feng''s side.


    Lu Feng''s feet paused, and before he could do anything, his body had already floated up and landed firmly on the back of the Azure Python.


    "Golden Eagles, that day you were severely injured and you agreed to submit to this young master, but you were forced to do so by the circumstances.


    Now that your injuries have healed, this young master will give you one chance to go back on your word.


    Now, make your choice. "


    The meaning behind his words was very clear. Back then, I took advantage of someone''s situation. Now, I allow you to go back on your word.


    However, there was a hidden meaning in Lu Feng''s words. If you, Jin Ling Ying, were to go back on your word, you and I will be like passersby. If we were to stand on a different side in the future, we would definitely not show mercy.


    And if the Golden Eagles chose to follow him, then Lu Feng wouldn''t mind giving them a bit of good fortune.


    A trace of a struggle flashed across the face of the Golden-Feathered Eagle like a human being.


    Speaking of which, Lu Feng''s words were quite tempting to the Golden Eagles.


    The Golden Eagles were the same as the Azure Skysnake Bull. They had pledged their allegiance to him that day because they were on the verge of death. Without Lu Feng''s help, they would have died.


    This was why he had no choice but to submit to her.


    Later on, the Azure Skysnake Bull, having received great benefits from Lu Feng and was impressed by his heavenly methods, finally accepted it and willingly became Lu Feng''s mount.


    As for the Golden Eagles, they knew nothing about this.


    Now that Lu Feng had agreed to let it go, the Golden Eagles'' hearts had indeed been moved.


    On one hand, its struggle was to seek freedom. On the other hand, the example of the Azure Python was right in front of its eyes. It was a great opportunity to increase its strength.


    What the Golden Eagles were conflicted about was how to choose.


    Finally, the thirst for power overcame the yearning for freedom. The Golden Eagles spread their wings and knelt in front of Lu Feng, indicating their complete submission.


    "Since you''ve made your choice, you must not rebel against me in the future. Otherwise, I will naturally take back what I can give you!"


    "Get up!"


    When the Golden Eagles stood up, Lu Feng said, "Now, I, the young master, in the name of the Eastern Emperor, bestow upon you the name of Eagle Guard, Xiao Jin.


    Do you have any objections? "


    The Golden Eagles nodded their head repeatedly, indicating that they would accept Lu Feng''s appointment and naming. Although in their hearts, they had no idea what the Eastern Emperor''s name represented, they would definitely accept it.


    Completely taming the Golden Feathered Hawk, Lu Feng''s tactics allowed it to learn the art of mirage, turning into a small yellow oriole and standing on Lu Feng''s shoulder.


    "Old Black, hurry back to Greencloud City with the fastest speed possible!"


    Looking at the sky, Lu Feng told the Azure Python.


    At this moment, the city gates to the east of Greencloud City were wide open. The leader of the city''s four great families, the Patriarch of the City Lord Mo Wudu, and all the leaders of the Lu Jiang, Song, and Yao Families were present, respectfully welcoming the arrival of a group of people.


    There were a total of six people, led by a middle-aged man with a stern expression. His aura was reserved, but his eyes were bright. As he opened and closed, he gave off an air of incredible might.


    The other five were young men and women who weren''t even 20 years old. All three of them had cultivations that weren''t weak, and the lowest one was at the late Houtian realm.


    "Elder Chen, it''s hard to come from afar!"


    The mayor, Mo Wuji, said to the middle-aged man with a sincere expression.


    "City Lord Mo is too courteous. I, Chen, have only come to add more talent to the academy. My hard work is not worth mentioning."


    It turned out that this person was one of the outer elders of the Sky Star Academy, the person in charge of bringing a team of people to the city to recruit disciples.


    "Elder Chen, Young Heroes, please follow me into the city."


    I have already prepared some wine in the City Lord''s Mansion to help the few of you cleanse the world. "


    After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mo Wuji respectfully spoke to the representatives of the Heavenly Star Academy.


    Elder Chen slightly nodded his head and led the way into the city.


    On the other hand, the young men and women behind Elder Chen were mumbling to themselves, as though they despised this remote and small city.


    When both sides entered the City Lord''s Mansion, Mo Wuji invited Elder Chen to sit.


    Elder Chen rejected the offer and finally took his seat at the head of the table. Beside him was Mo Wu and Liang Xiao, two of the most outstanding figures in Greencloud City.


    The five men and women took their seats as well.


    "Elder Chen, let me introduce you. The person to your right is the number one family in our Greencloud City, the Lu family''s current head, Lu Xiong.


    "This is the Jiang Clan''s clan head, Jiang Tianxing."


    After everyone had taken their seats, Mo Wuji stood up and introduced the leading figures of the Greencloud City to Elder Chen.


    Following Mo Wuji''s introduction, he greeted each of the various Patriarchs. On the other hand, the five men and women that came with him seemed to not like this, as they sat there silently, looking coldly at the social events taking place on both sides.


    "Elder Chen, may I know how many disciples your institute will be recruiting in our Greencloud City?"


    After both sides exchanged pleasantries, Mo Wuji took the initiative to bring up the topic of the selection.


    "The reason why I came here today, under the orders of the Headmaster, is to increase the number of talents in the academy. There is no restriction in terms of numbers.


    However, City Lord Mo also knows that what our Heavenly Star Academy needs are true talents, not those people who put on an act. Thus, the selection conditions might be a little harsh.


    At that time, if there is anything that is amiss, I hope that City Lord Mo can take care of it. "


    Elder Chen smiled and said with confidence.

 C43 Evening Feast

    Mo Wuji and the four family heads were very happy to hear Elder Chen say that there was no limit to the number of people. As the representative of the power in the remote mountains, the Four Great Families and the City Lord''s Mansion were only a small and insignificant force in the outside world.


    And the reason why the five clans developed so slowly was because their clan''s cultivation and martial skills were not of a high grade. It was a great deal related to this.


    Speaking of which, if they could obtain a cultivation method or a martial skill above the yellow level, then these five would wake up laughing even in their dreams.


    Now, since the Heavenly Star Academy had opened their doors to recruit new students, with the strength of the various academies, there would surely be even more students who would be able to participate in the selection.


    In fact, compared to the disciples from the Humble Class families, the students from the big families had a higher starting point. In addition, the big families occupied the majority of the cultivation resources, so the students'' advancement was not something that the children from the Humble Class could compare with.


    Unless one had great luck and had a fortuitous encounter, it was impossible for a child of the Humble Class to stand up.


    Take the recruitment for instance, although the selection was for those of the same age as Sky Star Academy, the members of influential families had a much more solid foundation than those of Humble Class. Naturally, it was easier for them to pass the selection.


    Not to mention that although the Heavenly Star Academy had opened their doors for recruitment, the relative selection conditions were naturally much higher.


    To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Star Academy wasn''t a philanthropist, and it was impossible for them to accept any disciples who were willing to join. In that academy, strength was respected as well.


    At the same time, Elder Chen''s words also meant that the previous Large Competition held by the Lu family had completely lost all meaning.


    In other words, the two arms of Lu Yi and Lu Zhen could be considered to have been sacrificed for nothing.


    Of course, it was said that Grand Elder Lu Wei had already found two Rebirth Pills, and was preparing to give these two Lu Family elites a new set of limbs. As for the price he had to pay, it was not something that outsiders would know.


    "Elder Chen, may I know the specific selection criteria?"


    The head of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Tianxing, asked Elder Chen somewhat cautiously.


    This was a question that everyone was more concerned about.


    Elder Chen smiled and said, "The conditions are relatively simple. First of all, it''s your age. You must not exceed eighteen years old."


    Second, his cultivation must be above the middle Houtian realm. Of course, if he reached the Xiantian realm, his age could be relaxed to no more than twenty years old.


    In addition, the selection process was the same as before. Strength was first measured, and one had to reach a strength of more than 100,000 jin to be considered qualified.


    After that is the innate talent test. You must reach or surpass the yellow rank talent.


    The final test tested the strength of one''s spiritual force.


    The people who participate in the selection must choose three of the five beads out of the thirty that are continuously rotating within the specified time limit, in order to pass. "


    Elder Chen explained the selection criteria in detail and then smiled as he stopped, looking at the several Patriarchs seated.


    "Elder Chen, the previous procedures were not like this, right?


    I remember that after the strength test, it was a four-man free-for-all to determine the winner.


    After entering the ring, he used the mode of four people fighting to decide on the appropriate spots.


    Why did it change so much this time? "


    Mo Wuji cautiously asked Elder Chen for confirmation.


    Elder Chen maintained his demeanor as he smiled, "City Lord Mo, you also said that there is a limit to the slots, which is why you used such a selection method.


    Due to the many drawbacks of that method, the academy had already made improvements five years ago, replacing them with the current procedures. They had removed the restrictions on the spots, all in order to select more talents suitable for the academy.


    What, does City Lord Mo have any objections? "


    Although Elder Chen said this in a relaxed manner, in his tone, there was already a faint trace of displeasure.


    "How dare you!


    Elder Chen, this move of Mo''s is only to resolve the doubt in my heart.


    My Greencloud City is located in a remote place, and your esteemed academy only comes once every ten years. I, Mo, also feel sorry for the innumerable disciples in the city, and am unable to enter your esteemed academy to study, which has caused me to regret for the rest of my life.


    Even though Mo Wuji had always been very polite to Elder Chen, but as someone who had been in the upper echelon for a long time, he was not very afraid of an outer sect elder of the sect, so he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly to Elder Chen.


    "Come, come, come, Elder Chen, have a taste of my Greencloud City''s specialty, Hundred Flowers Brewing."


    Seeing that both sides'' words were stiff, Lu Xiong immediately stood up and poured a cup of wine for Elder Chen to smooth it over for both sides.


    "Hahaha!"


    Elder Chen laughed heartily, "I haven''t been in this Greencloud City for over twenty years. When it comes to this Hundred Blossom Wine, I miss it a lot!"


    With that, Elder Chen raised his wine cup and clinked it against Lu Xiong''s and downed it in one gulp.


    "Good wine!" "Good wine!"


    Putting down the cup, Elder Chen was full of praise.


    Seeing that, this Elder Chen probably liked the food in the cup. He quickly took the wine pot and poured another cup for Elder Chen, and smiled: "Since Elder Chen likes it, when we leave, my Lu family will prepare ten pots for you. I hope Elder Chen will not decline."


    "Hahaha, sorry to trouble you, Master Lu.


    "Then, will I be disrespectful?"


    Elder Chen said in amusement.


    "Elder Chen has come from afar as a guest, this Lu should be like this.


    Come, Elder Chen, I offer you another cup. "


    With that said, Lu Xiong raised his wine cup and signaled to Elder Chen as he downed it in one gulp.


    "I will do it first. Elder Chen, after you!"


    Putting down his wine cup, Lu Xiong said to Elder Chen.


    "Looks like Patriarch Lu is someone of the same line!


    "Good, good, good!"


    Elder Chen also very straightforwardly raised his cup and once again drank the wine in it.


    Looking at the other people around, Elder Chen raised his cup again and smiled: "Everyone, this is my greatest hobby in life, and it is also the thing within this cup.


    "Come, come, everyone. Let''s not sit idly in front of fine wine. I wish to toast everyone and thank City Lord Mo and the other Patriarchs for their warm hospitality."


    The City Lord, Mo Wuji, who had just met with a face full of ashes, glanced at Lu Xiong in displeasure. He also raised his wine cup along with the crowd and accompanied Elder Chen''s.


    Next, the feast proceeded in an atmosphere that was neither warm nor hot.


    Elder Chen, on the other hand, would chat with Lu Xiong from time to time, appearing to be very friendly.


    At the end of the feast, Elder Chen pulled Lu Xiong''s hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, since you came here today, you have the task of selecting the best talents for the institution, so I can''t drink with you today.


    "After the mission is completed, I will definitely visit your house and drink three hundred cups with Brother Lu!"


    "Brother Chen, then should I clean up the tatami at home?"


    Obviously, after this round of wine, Elder Chen and Lu Xiong were unexpectedly bound by fate. The two of them were now brothers.


    "Hahaha!"


    Brother Lu, at that time, I will be troubling you. "


    Elder Chen laughed.

 C44 Jiang Father and Daughter

    After this round of drinking, the drinking crowd could be said to have mixed feelings.


    He was extremely envious of the two Patriarchs of Yao Song''s that had successfully built a relationship with Elder Chen and failed to perform during the banquet.


    As for the City Lord, Mo Wuji, he was displeased. Elder Chen had put him, the true City Lord, aside, but he had fought with Lu Xiong passionately. This made the Lu Family displeased, so how could he be happy?


    As for the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Tianfang, his emotions were a bit complicated.


    Ever since the incident with Lufeng peeping, Lu Xiong had mentioned it. He had allowed Jiang Xin to marry Lufeng, and the two families were able to achieve Qin Jin''s goal. Wasn''t that supposed to be a joyous occasion?


    However, Jiang Tianlei believed that his daughter was a proud daughter of heaven, with outstanding talent. She was also known as the most talented girl in the city, and was the target of countless young talents.


    On the other hand, Lu Feng, compared to his father Lu Xiong, was a standard son of a tiger, father of a dog.


    Therefore, Jiang Tianzhu rejected Lu Xiong''s proposal without any hesitation. He wholeheartedly wanted to get rid of Lu Feng and wash away the shame of the Jiang Clan.


    In the end, the heavens'' will messed with people. Lu Feng returned unharmed from the Greencloud Mountain Range, and even unexpectedly obtained a profound cultivation base. He actually killed the City Lord''s Mansion''s Fourth Elder, Mo Wuya, in public.


    After that, in the Lu Family Competition, he showed off his prowess by killing the Lu Family''s number one genius Lu Yi and Lu Zhen, the Lu Family''s third young mistress. Both of them had their right arms crippled.


    It could be said that the current Lu Feng was already the strongest among the younger generation of Greencloud City. His prestige was not any weaker than his own daughter, and he was no longer that good-for-nothing playboy from before.


    Now, Lu Xiong had even successfully matched with the person in charge of the Heavenly Star Academy''s disciple recruitment, outer sect elder Chen Yanghui. That was a late stage Yellow Rank expert, an existence that could instantly take out an entire city.


    With such a thick leg in his arms, it would be difficult for the Lu family to not develop.


    Seeing that the Lu Clan was about to rise, but his own Jiang Clan seemed to have no chance of making a comeback, and even more so had the possibility of becoming a laughingstock.


    Sigh, it was all his fault for thinking wrongly back then, which resulted in the current awkward situation.


    Jiang Tianzhu returned to the Jiang manor with a slightly depressed expression on his face.


    "Father, you''re back?


    It seems that you are a bit worried, is it because this night''s feast was not smooth? "


    As soon as he arrived home, he met Jiang Xin, who had been waiting for him for a long time.


    Hearing his daughter''s gentle words, Jiang Tianxing''s heart softened. That''s right. No matter how strong the Lu family is, what does it have to do with me? Don''t forget, the daughter of I, Jiang Tianxing, is still the number one genius of Qingyun City!


    "Xin''er, it''s so late, why aren''t you going to rest?


    After all, tomorrow is the day that Heavenly Star Academy will begin selecting their disciples. "


    Jiang Tianfang said softly to Jiang Xin.


    "Father, your daughter was worried, so she stayed here to wait for father''s return.


    Father, looking at you, could it be that you have encountered some trouble? "


    Even though Jiang Xin was a girl, she still possessed a heroic and unyielding character. When she asked Jiang Tianxing about it, it was only natural that she wanted to help her father solve his problems.


    "Oh, Xin''er, you''re so considerate."


    Jiang Tianfang sighed and told his daughter all the details of the banquet.


    Finally, Jiang Tianxuan sighed and said, "Xin''er, I''m sorry for you. I only considered Lu Feng''s reputation as trash for a long time, but who would''ve thought that there would come a day when the salted fish would have a comeback. For nothing did you miss out on a good marriage."


    "Heh heh, Father, so it turns out that you are troubled about this matter.


    Tell me, what is to come cannot escape.


    If I am fated to be with Lu Feng, then we will still end up together. If we are not fated, then wouldn''t your worries here be a waste of time?


    Rest assured, father, your daughter is not the kind of person who cannot be married off.


    It''s just that I have something that I don''t understand, and I still need Father to help me look into it. "


    Jiang Xin smiled sweetly, revealing the charming side of her daughter as she consoled Jiang Tianxing.


    Hearing his daughter''s words, Jiang Tianzhu''s mood improved. He was curious as to what problem Jiang Xin had encountered, so he quickly replied, "Oh?" What could possibly trouble the talented daughter of my Jiang family?


    "Tell me, your father."


    "Father!"


    Jiang Xin protested coquettishly, hugging Jiang Tianlei''s arm even more naturally.


    "Alright, alright. I won''t tease you anymore. Hurry up and get down to business."


    The moment Jiang Xin started acting coquettishly, Jiang Tianfang immediately raised his hand in surrender, begging for mercy.


    "Father, this is what happened. That day, I met Lu Feng on the business street, the day that Lu Feng killed Mo Wuji.


    At that time, I thought that Lu Feng should apologize to me, so I came to Lu Feng.


    However, Lu Feng''s reaction was very strange. He only said one thing: he was drunk that day and didn''t know anything.


    He then turned around and left.


    Father, can you help me analyze the events of that day? "


    Jiang Xin said seriously as she let go of Jiang Tianfang''s arm.


    Hearing Jiang Xin''s words, Jiang Tianxing''s eyes narrowed as he said, "Xin`er, your words make me feel that something is amiss.


    Think about it, that Lu Feng from that day had a terrible reputation. He was a well-known piece of trash in the Greencloud City.


    How in the world did a good-for-nothing like this manage to hide himself from so many guards of my Jiang family while he was drunk and come to your room alone?


    Also, isn''t the City Lord''s Mansion reacting a little too quickly to this matter? "


    Jiang Tian had indeed thought over what had happened since that day.


    However, in Jiang Tianfang''s opinion, the Lu family had a long history as the Greencloud City''s number one family, and the City Lord''s Mansion as a rising power had a shallow foundation. If it wasn''t for their official status, they wouldn''t have been able to contend against the Lu family.


    In this kind of situation, the engagement of a genius daughter to the City Lord''s young master was a good thing for both families. They could join hands to fight against the Lu family.


    In reality, this was what the two families had done before. It was just that after that incident, this alliance, which was not made in the form of a clause, gradually showed signs of dissipating.


    However, the City Lord''s Mansion had received the news so quickly, and they had even made the worst decision. These two points of doubt made Jiang Tianxing feel like he could not wrap his head around it.


    However, Jiang Tianlei was both embarrassed and furious after that. He did not consider the consequences carefully and decided to force Lu Feng into the Green Cloud Mountain. That was why Lu Feng had been reborn after that.


    Now that Jiang Xin had brought the matter up again, Jiang Tianxing had no choice but to think it through.


    "Father, in that case, there seems to be a possibility that we have overlooked.


    If, after Lu Feng got drunk, there was an expert who held him hostage, avoided the guards of his family, and snuck into my Jiang family, this was the result.


    Father, do you think that possibility exists? "


    Jiang Xin said to Jiang Tianxing with a frown.

 C45 Doubt

    Jiang Tianxing was stunned, "Xin`er, you mean to say, what expert intentionally set the Lu Family up?


    But what is he doing this for? "


    "Father, if someone really did do this, then he has a lot of reasons.


    For example, provoking a conflict between our Jiang and Lu families.


    Think about it, if our Jiang family, under the shame and anger, fights with the Lu family to the death, although the Jiang family''s strength is weaker than the Lu family''s, the gap isn''t too big.


    In other words, once the Jiang Clan went all out, it was very likely that they would end up with a lose-lose situation.


    In that case, wouldn''t the power structure of the Greencloud City have to be reshuffled?


    In the process of reshuffling, the Jiang and Lu families would definitely not receive any benefits. In these few years, the Yao and Song families were on the verge of annexing the City Lord''s Mansion, and at that time, the City Lord''s Mansion could take on the appearance of a victim to receive the fruits of victory that did not belong to them.


    As for the Jiang and Lu families, because of their great losses in strength, they could only watch helplessly as others divided what originally belonged to them. In the future, this Greencloud City will definitely fall into the hands of the Mo Clan. "


    Jiang Xin was truly worthy of her title as a talented girl. She explained everything in detail to Jiang Tianxing.


    Jiang Tianfang''s frown deepened as he spoke with an uncertain face, "Xin`er, does this mean that the Mayor''s Residence decided to end the engagement so quickly in order to provoke the wrath of the Jiang Clan?"


    Jiang Xin caressed the hair on her forehead and said, "Father, I suspect that the culprit behind this might be the City Lord''s Mansion. At the very least, it has something to do with the City Lord''s Mansion!"


    "Xin''er, be careful!"


    Jiang Tianfang''s face was so dark that ink was about to come out of it. He reached out a hand to stop Jiang Xin from continuing.


    Jiang Xin took a look and understood what Jiang Tianxing meant. She continued, "Father, it must be said that Uncle Lu is indeed a capable man. In such a situation, he was willing to give up his only son and made the decision to protect our family. This kind of courage and patience is not something anyone can match!"


    Jiang Tianxing looked a bit pleased. "That''s right. Old Bear and I grew up together.


    Back then, he was also known as the number one genius of the Greencloud City, someone who was quite scheming.


    However, after they had become Patriarchs, their friendship had gradually turned indifferent in their youth.


    Now that I think about it, I do feel somewhat sorry for my overbearing attitude back then. "


    "Old bear?"


    Uncle Lu is such a refined person, how could he have such a title? "


    Hearing Jiang Tianlei mention Lu Xiong''s nickname twice, Jiang Xin couldn''t help but cover his mouth and ask with a delicate smile.


    "Daughter, let me tell you, don''t look at how refined Old Bear Lu is right now. When he was young, he was also a powerful figure in Greencloud City. His actions and actions were no weaker than Lu Feng''s.


    Especially when he was in a fight. Once he went berserk, he would be like a war chariot in human form. Only when he fought in a crushing manner would he gain the nickname ''Old Bear''.


    It was just that Old Bear Lu was too strong and didn''t want to bully those poor commoners. He was only trying his best against the young masters of those aristocratic families, so his reputation didn''t shine.


    "In the past, your father and I were called the Duo Prides of Qing Yun!"


    Jiang Tianfang had a funny expression as he talked about his youth. As he finished speaking, his eyes revealed traces of nostalgia.


    "Alright, Father, let''s talk about the matters of your youth later. Let''s talk about Lu Feng now.


    The feeling I got was that Lu Feng seemed to have changed a lot since he came back from the Green Cloud Mountain.


    After that fortuitous encounter, I deliberately asked about Lu Feng''s recent actions.


    After Lu Feng returned, he first defeated the Song Family''s Young Master, Song Hao, at the city gate, and displayed a decent cultivation base.


    Then, after returning to the Lu family, the Lu family''s third steward bullied their master. The third steward wishfully attempted to get his hands on the servant girl beside Lu Feng, Lu Lushui, who was now recognized by Lu Feng as his younger sister.


    In a fit of rage, Lu Feng had crippled the Third Butler who had just entered the Xiantian realm, causing him to no longer be able to speak humanly.


    After that, it was the day when I met Lu Feng. Before meeting him, Lu Feng defeated City Lord Mo Feimu and the Yao Family''s civil and military brothers, then he fought against the City Lord''s Mansion''s Fourth Elder, Mo Wuxie.


    In the moment when Mo Wuji decided to kill and used his martial skill, Lu Feng suddenly used a martial skill that no one had ever known of before ¡ª the Raging Inferno Palm, which killed Mo Wuji in an instant.


    Lu Feng''s pet beast had even killed a late Xiantian realm City Lord Palace Chief.


    There are a few strange things about it.


    First was Mo Bufan''s performance. According to the rumors, Mo Bufan was the one who ambushed Lu Feng and wanted to use a hidden weapon to kill him. This was the reason why Lu Feng wanted to deal a heavy blow to him.


    This was completely different from the elegant and refined feeling Mo Fan gave others.


    Secondly, Lu Feng did not have any intention to kill when he was dealing with the Third Butler. Why would Lu Feng kill when he was dealing with the City Lord''s Mansion?


    It was said that Lu Feng''s performance at that time didn''t seem like he was unable to control the power of his martial skill at all.


    Furthermore, it seemed like Lu Feng''s pet had deliberately killed Master Luo.


    It could be said that after this battle, the strength of the City Governor''s Estate was greatly reduced.


    The weirdest thing was that the City Lord''s Mansion did not react in a fit of rage, but swallowed its anger instead.


    Contrary to the personality of the City Lord Mo Wujing, this didn''t seem like his usual style.


    But to be so patient, he must be asking for a lot.


    Last but not least, I heard that the Lu Family''s North Mansion was attacked by a Demon Beast. Uncle Lu, who went to handle the matter, was ambushed by several Xiantian level Demon Beasts and was seriously injured.


    In this critical moment, Lu Feng, along with Lu Lushui, who had no cultivation, and a guard, rushed to the manor to stop the mysterious beast speakers from appearing. Then, he took in another late-stage Xiantian realm demon beast, saving the Lu Family''s foundation.


    Right, Lu Fengxin''s pet is also a Jade-Eyed Tiger, which is slightly weaker than the previous one. "


    Listening to Jiang Xin talk about all this, Jiang Tianxing pondered for a long time before saying, "Xin''er, I understand what you mean. Based on all the evidence, someone has targeted the Lu Family, and our Jiang Family is one of them. It''s just that we''re not at the forefront like the Lu Family.


    Behind this, there is a suspicion that the City Lord''s Mansion is unable to get rid of! "


    Jiang Xin said, "Father, you''ve forgotten one thing. What if the Lu Family has a spy? "It could even be said that there''s no possibility of a traitor appearing in our Jiang family?"


    "What?"


    Jiang Tianxing''s expression changed drastically as he looked at Jiang Xin in bewilderment.


    Jiang Xin ignored Jiang Tianfang''s reaction and continued, "I heard that the Lu Family held a Family Competition half a month ago.


    On the stage, Lu Feng had mercilessly cut off the Lu family''s Great Elder Lu Wei''s son, the Lu family''s nominal Eldest Young Master Lu Yi''s right arm. He had crippled the Third Elder''s only daughter, the Lu family''s Third Young Miss Lu Zhen''s entire arm.


    You must know that this Lu Family''s Third Elder has always been on the same side as Lu Wei. "

 C46 Lu Family Mixin

    "Xin''er, where did you get all this information from?"


    How come you don''t even know me? "


    Listening to Jiang Xin''s explanation, Jiang Tianxing asked doubtfully.


    "Father, you don''t need to care about my sources. All you need to know is that these are facts that have already happened.


    Besides, since we are starting to suspect what happened that day, we need to find out some clues from what happened afterwards.


    "The most important point is, where should we go from now on? We must come up with an idea as soon as possible."


    Jiang Xin said.


    Jiang Tianfang frowned once more.


    Seemingly dissatisfied with the lack of material, Jiang Xin said, "Father, it is said that Lu Feng found a strange herb called the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit at the Lu Family''s North District Manor.


    According to what Lu Feng said, this strange grass could refine a pill called the Spirit Beast Pill. Its function was to increase the strength of pets.


    Rumor has it that after Lu Feng discovered the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit, he wandered around the medicinal fields and warehouses of the Lu Family for a long time. After that, someone heard the painful cries of the Jade-eyed Giant Tiger coming from the small yard that Lu Feng was temporarily staying in.


    After that, the two green-eyed tigers that had appeared in front of the Lu family were now like kittens.


    Right, that day when he bumped into Lu Feng on the business street, his sister, Lu Lai Rui, was hugging a kitten in her arms. She looked very cute.


    I suspect that the two Jade-eyed Giant Tigers have already broken through. As for their strength, I''m not sure.


    However, before this, he was in the late Xiantian realm, a Xiantian peak expert.


    If the rumors are true, then these two Jade-Eyed Tigers might have already escaped from the realm of demon beasts and become true demon beasts, which is what we usually call the Yellow Rank.


    Father, in the vast Greencloud City, there isn''t even a single Yellow Rank expert. "


    Jiang Xin stopped talking.


    However, Jiang Tianxing found it hard to accept this.


    "What?"


    Xin''er, what you''re saying is, the Lu family might have already produced a Yellow Rank expert?


    Or were they two demon beasts?


    In that case, won''t the Lu family''s position be as stable as a boulder in the future? "


    "Father, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, we must know that with just a peak Xiantian Jade-Eyed Tiger, the Lu family is not someone that anyone can deal with easily.


    "What I mean is that we should repair our relationship with the Lu Family as soon as possible so that we don''t receive any benefits from the fight between the Lu Family and the City Lord''s Mansion."


    Jiang Xin said firmly.


    "Xin''er, are you saying that in the contest between the Lu family and the Mayor''s mansion, our Jiang family will stand on the Lu family''s side?"


    Jiang Tianxing asked.


    "Yes, Father. Even though there are signs of internal strife in the Lu family, but with the appearance of Lu Feng, the Lu family''s Great Elder Lu Wei and his men seem to be unable to do anything decent."


    As for the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Didn''t more than half of the humiliation my Jiang family suffered come from them? "


    At this point, Jiang Xin''s expression turned grim.


    Obviously, Jiang Xin still cared a lot about the Mayor''s mansion''s marriage annulment.


    "That''s right. Old bear Lu isn''t weak himself, and in the years that he was the Patriarch, he gathered a large number of loyal followers. Now, with the help of two top grade magical beasts and even demon beasts, his position in the Lu family is indeed unshakable."


    As for the Lu family''s Grand Elder, Lu Wei, I also know about his conflict with Old Bear Lu.


    According to the older generation, Lu Wei was not the biological son of Lu Kun, but an orphan adopted by him when he was young.


    And this person, Lu Wei, is extremely talented, he''s the first person of our generation to advance to the Innate Realm.


    However, because he was Lu Kun''s son, the cultivation resources he received were far from what Lu Wei could compare to. That was why he was able to surpass Lu Wei in terms of cultivation.


    Later on, Old Bear Lu successfully took over the position of the Lu Family Patriarch and began to continue the Lu Family''s glory in Greencloud City.


    It was said that when Old Bear Lu took over the position of Patriarch, a conflict seemed to have broken out in the Lu family. The main characters in this conflict were Lu Wei and Old Bear Lu.


    Lu Wei seemed to think that his cultivation and talent were higher than Lu Lao Xiong, and he was the heir to the family head position. He was very dissatisfied with Lu Kun''s actions and exploded during the ceremony when Lu Lao Xiong took over the family head position.


    After that, only then did Lu Kun tell Lu Wei that he wasn''t his own son.


    Of course, only a very few people know of this secret. I only heard about it from your grandfather by chance.


    Under such a huge blow, Lu Wei finally gave up on the idea of competing with Old Bear Lu for the Patriarch.


    Now it seemed that back then, Lu Wei had only submitted on the surface, but in reality, he had been plotting something behind his back.


    Xin''er, I suspect that the mysterious beast speaker that Old Bear Lu met at the North District''s Manor has something to do with Lu Wei, even if he isn''t Lu Wei himself. "


    Jiang Tianxing thought for a long time before telling Jiang Xin about the secrets of the Lu family.


    Although Jiang Xin was known as a talented girl, she didn''t really understand the secrets of the older generation. Upon hearing her father''s words, she became a little absent-minded.


    "So that''s how it is!


    I understand! I understand! "


    "Xin''er, what do you understand?"


    Jiang Xinyi asked anxiously.


    "Father, Lu Wei must have been very unhappy about Uncle Lu taking over the Lu family.


    If my guess is correct, the City Lord''s Mansion''s accomplice in the Lu family is the Great Elder Lu Wei.


    That day, the person who kidnapped Lu Feng and left him outside my room was most likely them.


    It seemed like Lu Wei had long ago colluded with the City Lord Mo Wuji.


    Father, I suggest that you find Uncle Lu tomorrow morning and tell him the details of our analysis tonight. It would be best if the Jiang family and the Lu family formed an alliance.


    "This way, we can preserve our Jiang Clan and even gain great development in the future."


    Jiang Xinying''s angered side was thoroughly revealed. While her father was still hesitating, she directly suggested an alliance with the Lu family.


    "Xin''er, I''m afraid this matter isn''t that simple.


    If even you know that the Lu family has two more demon beasts, then others will naturally know as well.


    Therefore, in the days to come, the scheme to deal with the Lu family would probably be temporarily put to rest unless the other party had the strength to fight against two demon beasts.


    Of course, it was still necessary to meet with Elder Xiong and spread things out.


    How about this, I''ll go find Old Bear Lu tomorrow. As for the alliance between the two sides, it can be done in secret.


    "Oh right, Xin''er, don''t you want to consider Uncle Lu''s previous suggestion?"


    In the end, Jiang Tianxing was still considered a peerless genius of his generation. He quickly saw through the pros and cons of this move. His knowledge was definitely not something that a little girl like Jiang Xin could compare with.

 C47 Return

    At first, he was a little dazed, but by the time he reacted, his cheeks had already begun to dye. Jiang Xinzheng was clearly referring to the previous proposal by Lu Xiong that the two sides form a family together, so how could a girl like Jiang Xin possibly respond to this?


    "Father!"


    Jiang Xin glared at him coquettishly and stomped her feet. Without even a word of greeting, she went straight back to her room to rest.


    "Silly girl, your father is thinking for your future!"


    Seeing his daughter disappear around the corner like a little deer, Jiang Tianlei could not help but sigh.


    The next morning, Jiang Tianyu visited the Lu family secretly. After a long discussion with Lu Xiong, he bid Lu Xiong farewell with satisfaction.


    Last night, when the Jiang father and daughter were discussing some matters, Lu Feng and his second young master had also officially returned to the Lu family.


    Riding on a green ox with a cute little bird on its shoulder, Lu Feng confidently returned to the Lu family.


    Knowing that Lu Feng had returned, the first person that came to welcome him was naturally the adorable little sister, Hua Rui.


    In the half month after Lu Feng had left, Lu Yueru had been practicing non-stop. In addition to the effects of the elixirs that Lu Feng had given her, she was now at the late Qi Refining stage, and her strength was equivalent to that of the late Houtian realm. She was like a rising star in the Lu Family.


    Seeing Lu Feng on top of the Cyan Bull from afar, Lu Rui''s petite body flew up into the air and flew onto the back of the Azure Python. She squeezed into Lu Feng''s arms and shouted with a face full of joy, "Brother, where did you find such an old cow? It''s so ugly! "


    Hearing this, the Azure Python beneath Lu Feng''s feet couldn''t help but soften. After all, this brother was a Yellow Rank demon beast. How did it become an ugly cow in the mouth of this young miss?


    Besides, with our physique and looks, we are definitely handsome.


    The Azure Python, somewhat unhappy, had only just turned its head when it met with Lu Feng''s warning gaze. Only then did it remember that before it returned, its master had instructed it not to display its strength easily, not to speak, and to keep a low profile.


    Alright, bro, you should just be an ugly cow of mine.


    Arriving at Lu Feng''s small courtyard, Lu Feng carried Lu Rui and climbed down from the ox''s back.


    Just as he was about to go to the wall to rest, Lu Feng said: "Old Black, remember, this is the little miss. In the Lu family, other than me, you only need to listen to the little miss."


    When Lu Feng said this, how could the Azure Skysnake not understand Lu Lushui''s logic?


    "Laohei greets little miss. If little miss needs my help in the future, feel free to instruct me."


    The Azure Skysnake Bull said in a muffled voice to Lu Lulong.


    A cow suddenly spoke in human language. Lu Lulong was startled for a moment before she regained her composure. After all, she had been with Xiao Yu, this tigress, all this time. She had come into contact with demon beasts, so it wasn''t that strange.


    "Brother, this old cow of yours is also a demon beast?"


    Lu Lushui tugged on Lu Feng''s sleeve and said in a low voice.


    He reached out his hand to caress the little girl''s beautiful hair and said, "Girl, don''t underestimate Laohei. He is a top tier Wind Attribute demon beast, and his potential is above Xiao Yu and Xiaohu. His speed is even faster."


    "Master, are you calling me?"


    Without waiting for her to speak again, the door opened and a tiger-like tigress, Xiao Yu, walked out and said to Lu Feng with a drowsy look.


    Seeing Xiao Yu in such a state, Lu Feng''s face immediately darkened. The reason why he arranged Xiao Yu to be with Lu Wei Rui was to protect her from the shadows.


    But now, Lu Lushui had been running away for a long time. As a guardian beast, she was actually sleeping in the house?


    How preposterous!


    "Humph!"


    Lu Feng harrumphed. In this small courtyard, the temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees.


    Xiao Yu also felt Lu Feng''s anger and immediately ran over to him. Leaning on the ground, she looked pitifully at Lu Feng.


    "Xiao Yu, is this how you protect the little miss?"


    Lu Feng asked in a low voice.


    At this moment, Lu Feng was no longer the amiable and graceful youth from before. Instead, he was like an overlord that descended upon the world, exuding boundless majesty.


    Xiao Yu lay obediently on the ground, not even daring to raise her head.


    The Azure Python, who had never seen Lu Feng in such a majestic state, stood to one side. It did not dare to breathe too loudly, for fear that Lu Feng would vent his anger on it.


    The only one who was not affected by Lu Feng''s qi power was Lu Weigru.


    Seeing that Lu Feng was enraged and that Xiao Yu had failed to protect herself, Loulan Slash quickly pulled on Lu Feng''s sleeve and said coquettishly, "Big brother, big brother, don''t blame Xiao Yu. She was exhausted these past few days and didn''t rest and help me protect me from the outside world.


    Earlier, when I heard that you had returned, Xiao Yu originally wanted to follow me out. I saw that she was too tired so I let her rest inside the house.


    Besides, I''m going to see you, big brother.


    Brother, just spare Little Yu this once, okay?


    Okay? "Big brother!"


    As she finished her sentence, she wrapped her arms around Lu Feng''s arm, twisting and turning her body. She completely ignored the fact that she had just developed a little mountain, and just rubbed herself against Lu Feng''s arm.


    Lu Feng could not take it anymore.


    "Alright, alright, you''re feeling awkward. Can''t I agree to your request?"


    "Yay!" Great, Xiao Yu, you are fine! "


    Loulan Slash jumped up in joy.


    It seems that the young miss has an extraordinary status in the heart of the master. In the future, I, Old Black, will coax the young miss, and in case the master gets angry in the future, the young miss can also help me beg for mercy.


    "Little girl, we''re all big girls now, be more careful in the future."


    Lu Feng thought about the scene just now and quickly gave an obscure nod.


    It was a pity that the little girl didn''t appreciate his kindness. Moreover, she immediately understood the meaning of Lu Feng''s words.


    "Big brother, you saved Hua Rui''s life. Even the name was given by you, you made Hua Rui''s entire being yours.


    Whether it''s a sister or a maid, I''ll follow you for the rest of my life. Life is your man, death is your ghost.


    If brother wants this body, you can have it at any time! "


    Although the little girl looked at Lu Feng with determination, she was still a little girl who had just turned sixteen. At the end of her sentence, not only was her voice low enough to be heard, her cheeks were also flushed red.


    Lu Feng didn''t expect that his kind words would be exchanged for the little girl''s confession.


    What should I do?


    Lu Feng was confused.

 C48 Selection Start

    Lu Feng wanted to explain, but stopped himself when he saw the pure and flawless look in Lulu''s eyes.


    "Sigh!"


    Lush, you don''t have to do this. "


    Lu Feng let out a long sigh and said helplessly.


    "Why?


    Don''t you like Lush?


    Luan Rui didn''t ask for anything else, she just wanted to stay by her brother''s side, even if it meant becoming a servant girl again.


    For such a small matter, wouldn''t my brother be satisfied with anything? "


    The little girl looked pitifully at Lu Feng. Her two beautiful big eyes were filled with tears.


    Lu Feng was speechless. In his previous life, he had never faced a woman with such immense experience.


    "Alright, alright, Lush. Big brother didn''t say anything about chasing you away.


    Just stay by your brother''s side until you get tired of it, and then you can ask him to leave.


    I promise, as long as you don''t open your mouth, I will absolutely not take the initiative to chase you away. "


    Helpless, Lu Feng could only brace himself and coax the little girl. Luckily, in his mind, he still had memories of the time when Second Young Master Lu coaxed women. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to end the situation.


    "Really?


    Brother, you said so yourself!


    You''re not allowed to go back on your word!


    "Come, pull the hook!"


    Hearing Lu Feng''s promise, the little girl, who was crying, jumped three feet into the air and immediately broke into a smile. She even extended her little finger, wanting to hook up with Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng looked at Lu Rui in a very novel way. Following her example, Lu Feng stretched out his little finger and gently placed it on Lu Rui''s finger.


    "Hang yourself on the hook! You are not allowed to change in a hundred years! Whoever changes will become a rotten duck egg!"


    Holding onto Lu Feng''s finger, Loulan Lu muttered some words, as if she was carrying out a very sacred ritual.


    After calming the little girl''s emotions, Lu Feng went back to his own room. He took out the last Spiritual Beast Pill that he had kept in his Cosmic Bag and fed it to the Golden Eagles that were on his shoulders all this time ¡ª Xiao Jin.


    In Lu Feng''s room, Lu Feng laid down a spell formation to conceal his Qi, easily helping Xiao Jin to step through the bottleneck of the pinnacle of the Xiantian realm, and smoothly advance to the middle stage of the Yellow Ranked, at the same level as tigress Xiao Yu. Only then did he cancel the spell formation and let Xiao Jin go to the courtyard to reminisce with his two old friends, Xiao Yu and Laohei.


    It was a silent night. On the morning of the second day, the Lu family, led by their Patriarch Lu Xiong, moved out in groups to the square outside the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Today was the day that the Heavenly Star Academy formally accepted disciples.


    Amongst the Lu family''s troops, Lu Yi and Lu Zhen were there. Lu Yi''s severed right arm and Lu Zhen''s broken bone arm had completely healed. However, his face was still pale.


    He wondered what kind of price the Grand Elder and the Third Elder had paid for their children in exchange for the precious Rebirth Pills to heal their injuries.


    Seeing the deep hatred in Lu Zhen''s and Lu Yi''s eyes, Lu Feng didn''t care in the slightest. A character like an ant, did he have to care about it?


    Today, Lu Feng had left Lu Rui, Xiao Yu, Xiao Hu, and a few other demon beasts at home. With such a shocking scene, it was best not to take it out to scare them.


    Not long after, the disciples of the Jiang, Yao, and Song families, under the lead of their respective Patriarchs, arrived at the plaza. The large plaza was completely blocked by the citizens who had rushed over upon hearing the news.


    As soon as Chen arrived, Elder Chen from the Heavenly Star Academy, accompanied by the mayor of the city, arrived at the main platform and took a seat.


    Following that, the heads of the four great families and the elders all sat on the main platform, accompanying Elder Chen on both sides.


    He didn''t know what Elder Chen was thinking, but he specially called Lu Xiong over and sat on his right hand side. As for his left side, it was this City Lord, Mo Wuxiu.


    This was the first time Lu Feng met Mo Wuji in person, so he was a little curious about this famous City Lord.


    It just so happened that after Lu Feng stepped into the late Foundation Establishment stage, he obtained the ability to release his spiritual sense in advance. Thus, he couldn''t help but use this City Lord to probe.


    Lu Feng released a tiny stream of his soul consciousness and carefully controlled it, moving in the direction of Mo Wuji.


    After some investigation, Lu Feng was somewhat surprised to find that the rumored late stage Xiantian Mo Wujing was actually a False Yellow Rank master. His strength was even a bit higher than Lu Xiong''s.


    Lu Feng''s mind stirred, and that strand of soul consciousness couldn''t help but tremble for a moment.


    Perhaps he had sensed something, Elder Chen, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, narrowed his eyes and swept a vigilant glance over the crowd below the stage. Perhaps he had sensed something, Elder Chen, who was beside Mo Wuji, focused his eyes and cautiously scanned through the crowd below the stage.


    This Elder Chen''s cultivation is so high, I''m afraid he has already broken through to the late stage of the Yellow Rank?


    Lu Feng thought with some lingering fear.


    After all, he had just released his spiritual sense. Lu Feng had just gotten excited and his control was slightly weaker. Yet, Elder Chen, who was standing by Mo WUji''s side, had actually caught it.


    Elder Chen was also baffled. He had never heard of anyone exceeding the yellow rank in this city. How could there be someone who knew how to release their spiritual sense?


    It was definitely an expert of the yellow rank or higher. Because only after reaching the yellow rank would a martial artist be able to grasp the technique of releasing soul consciousness, and the target of that wisp of soul consciousness just now was clearly the person beside him, City Lord Mo.


    What made Elder Chen puzzled was that all the famous experts in the city, other than some old freaks, were all on the platform. That thread of spiritual sense clearly came from below the stage. Could it be that some rare expert was hiding in the crowd below the stage?


    Just as Elder Chen was about to investigate more, that strand of spiritual sense suddenly disappeared. It was obvious that the person in the dark noticed Elder Chen''s actions and quickly retracted it.


    But the number of people below the stage shouldn''t be tens of thousands right? Elder Chen couldn''t release his spiritual sense and went to check one by one, so he didn''t have that ability.


    If he were to forcefully investigate the affairs of these ten thousand people, then he would probably tire himself to death. If he were to anger that person in the dark, then even he might not be his opponent.


    Lu Xiong, who was beside Elder Chen, did not know that in such a short period of time, Elder Chen, this Yellow Ranked Great Expert, had already secretly fought with his precious son. He was still there accompanying Elder Chen, chatting with him.


    After a few moments, Elder Chen stood up and walked onto the stage in front of the main platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He said in a clear voice, "My fellow countrymen of the Greencloud City, I am Chen Yanghui, the outer elder of the Heavenly Star Academy.


    "This time ¡­"


    Elder Chen announced the recruitment criteria he had set for that night''s banquet to the public, then continued, "Now, I announce that the selection will officially begin.


    The first segment, Strength Measuring. "


    With that, Elder Chen patted the Cosmic Bag on his waist and released a large Strength Measuring Rock towards the center of the stage. The halo on the stone was even larger than the one in the Lu family.

 C49 Lushui Ascending

    After releasing the Strength Measuring Rock, Elder Chen said, "The test is very simple. The contestant only needs to go up on stage and follow the Strength Measuring Rock to make the attack that he thinks is the most powerful. As long as ten rings of light are lit up, it will be considered qualified.


    "Now, please arrange the young geniuses below the stage and step onto the stage one by one for the test."


    Finished speaking, Elder Chen went back to his seat and began judging together with the elites of the big families.


    The children of influential families offstage were lined up according to the order of the City Lord''s Mansion, Lu, Jiang, Song, and Yao families. As for the children of influential families, they could only take the test when the test ended.


    The three men and two women who had followed Elder Chen to the Greencloud City came up to the arena. As deacons, each family''s disciple who had lined up took turns to enter the arena.


    Although there were many people from various families, it was not easy to find people who had reached the standard. Just the middle Houtian realm and below the age of 18 already put many of the younger generation of aristocratic families at the threshold.


    The first to go on stage was the son of the mayor Mo Wuji, Jiang Xin''s ex-fiance, Mo Feimu.


    Mo Fan came up onto the stage and proudly swept his eyes over everyone below. After he enjoyed everyone''s praise, he lifted up his right hand that was filled with true essence and threw a palm onto the Strength Measuring Rock.


    "Bam!"


    With a muffled sound, the Strength Measuring Rock continuously flashed a ring of light. Soon, it had broken through ten rings. Finally, it stopped at thirteen rings.


    "130,000 jin, qualified!"


    "Next!"


    A deacon disciple from the Heavenly Star Academy loudly announced Mo Bufan''s result.


    Amidst the praises of the crowd, Mo Fan pretended to smile and walked down the stage from another direction.


    Unfortunately, in the following tests, only two people from the City Lord''s Mansion passed the test and the rest were eliminated.


    Behind the City Lord''s Mansion was the Lu Family.


    Lu Yi, who had a defeated look on his face, turned around and glared at Lu Feng. He was the first to walk up the stage.


    Last time, in the Lu Family''s Large Competition, Lu Yi''s strength had already reached 100,000 Jin. However, he didn''t know how much strength he would be able to display after a serious injury.


    Arriving in front of the Strength Measuring Rock, Lu Yi did not hesitate to condense his true essence. Using all his strength, he punched towards the Strength Measuring Rock.


    After a flurry of flashes of light, Lu Yi''s result had surprisingly reached 130,000 jin, the same as Mo Bufan''s score from before.


    Regarding Lu Yi''s serious injury, the Lu family had always kept it a secret. As a result, very few people in the outside world knew that his right arm was remodelled by the Rebirth Pill.


    Even so, Lu Yi''s performance still received endless applause and praise. This was the best result so far. The other two City Lord Palace disciples who had passed the test had both only reached the standard of 100,000 Jin, and were barely qualified to enter the test.


    Other people would not be able to tell that he had used his spiritual sense to clearly see that Lu Yi''s current cultivation level was actually a whole level higher than that day. Lu Yi had impressively reached the peak of the Houtian realm, as long as there was an opportunity, he could immediately step into the Xiantian realm.


    It seemed like this kid had gotten lucky from his misfortune.


    Lu Feng muttered to himself.


    However, towards the Great Elder''s methods, Lu Feng was even more careful. Not to mention a precious Rebirth Pill, it was even able to let Lu Yi, who was heavily injured, advance another level. This kind of ability was worthy of praise.


    This Great Elder seemed to have a lot of secrets.


    Although Lu Feng was the Lu Family''s Second Young Master and Young Patriarch, he had always been a maverick. Lu Feng was the Lu Family''s last line, and he coldly watched the performance of the others.


    As the disciples of the Lu family went up on stage one by one, the results were soon out. Lu Zhen, with a result of 90,000 jin, regretfully left the selection. She was eliminated in the first round.


    And among those who had entered the top six that day, there had been a boy from a branch family who was born with great strength. With a hundred thousand jin score, he had become the second contestant from the Lu family to enter the next round.


    Very quickly, there were only a few people in front of Lu Feng.


    At this time, a teenager in blue turned his head and smiled at Lu Feng, saying, "Second brother, I''m going up first. Wish me good luck."


    His name was Lu Guang, and although he used to despise Lu Feng''s style, he still took better care of Lu Feng, who was his second cousin. At such a young age, his cultivation was already close to the late Houtian realm, and in the future, he would also become a pillar of the Lu family.


    However, he was only fifteen years old this year, and was one year younger than Lu Yueru. With such a cultivation and attitude, he was inseparable from Lu Qing''s good home tutor.


    After arriving on the stage, Lu Guang''s young and tender face was solemn. He revolved his true essence and quickly covered his entire right palm, his palm striking the Strength Measuring Rock.


    With a loud bang, the ring of light on the Strength Measuring Rock flew all the way. It quickly broke through 100,000 jins and finally stopped at 120,000 jins.


    No one would have thought that this thin and weak youth would actually have such a strong explosive strength. Most importantly, he was the youngest among all the people who were going up the stage.


    Shouts of surprise broke out from the audience. The Lu family was truly fortunate. These two young men from the next generation were pretty strong.


    Soon, it was Lu Feng''s turn.


    "Wei Rui, you go first. Remember the trick that big brother taught you!"


    Under Lushui''s somewhat unconfident gaze, Lu Feng patted her on the shoulder and whispered to her.


    Lu Yueru met Lu Feng''s concerned gaze and straightened herself. She nodded firmly at Lu Feng, then turned around and walked back to the stage.


    "Isn''t that the servant girl that Lu Feng used to have by his side? She wants to participate in the selection too? "


    "Yeah, I''ve never heard of this servant girl having trained before." Is she qualified to go up on stage? "


    "Do you think that the Heavenly Star Academy''s deacon disciples are weak?" Since they did not stop her from going up on stage, then they must be qualified. "


    "So what if you''re qualified? For someone like her who has just started cultivating, isn''t she about to be eliminated as well? "


    "Yes."


    Amidst all the discussions, Lu Lulong walked up to the stage and started to practice the [Ice Heart Spell].


    In an instant, a tremendous change occurred to Lu Lushui''s entire demeanor. She had been like the little jade girl next door, but now, under the effects of the Ice Heart Spell, she had turned into the Ice Snow Holy Maiden, giving off a cold and inviolable aura.


    Loulan Slash''s sudden change had attracted many surprised gazes. Elder Chen, who was chatting with Lu Xiong, also cast a glance of interest towards the stage.


    Lu Lushui, on the other hand, had already fallen into a state of oblivion. She took a step forward and struck the Strength Measuring Rock with her palm. As her palm and the Strength Measuring Rock came into contact, a chilling aura quickly spread out.


    He looked at the Strength Measuring Rock again. It was obviously sluggish for a moment, and then all sorts of lights flashed randomly, lighting up fourteen rings of light in succession.


    One hundred forty thousand kilograms!


    Lu Lushui set the test record for today.

 C50 Land Winds Strength

    "140,000 Jin, qualified!"


    "Next!"


    The voice of the disciple in charge of the Skystar Academy announced that Lu Lushui had advanced to the next round.


    Under the stupefied gaze of the crowd, Lu Yueru slowly stopped her cultivation and her temperament instantly returned to that of the young girl next door, jumping off the stage with a joyful expression on her face.


    When they were almost to the edge of the stage, they did not forget to turn around and wave their fists towards Lu Feng, who had just come up.


    On the main platform, Elder Chen looked at the pair of children with great interest. He said to Lu Xiong beside him: "Brother Lu, if I remember correctly, these two should be disciples of your Lu Family, right?"


    "That''s right, Brother Chen. The youth that just went on stage was my son, Lu Feng."


    The girl who just left the stage is an orphan daughter that my son took in when he was young. She is now his adopted daughter, and normally calls me brother and sister. "


    Lu Xiong explained with a proud expression.


    Speaking of which, even Lu Xiong didn''t know when Lu Yueru started cultivating. At that time, the reason why he accepted this adopted daughter was because of Lu Feng. Furthermore, the situation at the Northern Courtyard at that time was critical, and a little girl without any cultivation dared to rush with Lu Feng to help.


    He didn''t expect that this little girl would be so generous as to show off her face to him today.


    Therefore, Lu Xiong''s statement was an answer to Elder Chen''s question, but it also contained the meaning of announcing to the public that Lu Haoran was the Young Miss of the Lu Family.


    "An orphan? Adopt a daughter?


    For Brother Lu to have such a cultivation, it seems that he has always been very concerned about this adopted daughter of his! "


    Elder Chen greatly praised Lu Xiong.


    However, Lu Xiong said very seriously to Elder Chen: "Brother Chen, I am ashamed to say that. Although little brother has taken this adopted daughter, he doesn''t really care about her normally.


    It was all thanks to my son that she was able to have such good fortune. However, she had nothing to do with her little brother at all.


    I''ve let old brother down. "


    "It seems like your son is also a wonder!"


    Hearing this, Elder Chen said to Lu Xiong with a smile. He was even more interested in Lu Feng who was standing on the stage.


    Lu Feng''s servant girl had already successfully advanced. Then, what kind of strength did Lu Feng himself have?


    At this time, Lu Feng slowly walked in front of the Strength Measuring Rock. Amidst the mocking voices below the stage, he casually struck out with his palm. He didn''t even have the energy that he had previously stored up.


    Seeing Lu Feng''s careless performance, the hubbub from the audience grew even louder.


    Just at that moment, Lu Feng''s palm landed on the Strength Measuring Rock. Not a single sound came out. Everyone on the stage fell silent for a moment.


    What was going on? How could there be no sound at all?


    Even the Heavenly Star disciple that was standing beside the Strength Measuring Rock looked at Lu Feng with suspicion. Could it be that this person was here on purpose to cause trouble?


    "Argh!"


    In just a moment, the audience was in an uproar.


    "Look, Lu Family''s trash is trash. He doesn''t even make a single sound!"


    "This is too embarrassing!"


    "Didn''t they say that only those at the middle Houtian realm or above can go on stage?" How did the Lu family''s trash get up there? "


    "Black curtain!" There must be a conspiracy! "


    "That''s not right. Second Brother Lu shouldn''t be performing so badly, right?"


    "Yes."


    In short, everyone in the audience had said whatever they wanted to say, but none of them had ever seen Lu Feng in action. Those who had seen Lu Feng''s strength before were all feeling puzzled. Of course, this did not exclude those who were taking pleasure in his misfortune.


    On the main platform, Lu Xiong''s previous pride had disappeared without a trace. He looked at Lu Feng on the stage with a face full of black lines, not understanding what his son was up to.


    In about five seconds, when Lu Feng retracted his palm, the Strength Measuring Rock, which did not have any reaction to the previous attack, suddenly gave off a whipping sound as a flash of light.


    At this moment, all the spectators who were still discussing shut their mouths and opened their eyes wide, watching the unforeseen events unfold on the stage.


    Under the crowd''s gaze, the Strength Measuring Rock that seemed to be in a mess finally lit up after a series of flashes of light.


    One!


    Two!


    "Yes."


    The speed was very slow, but rings of light continuously lit up.


    "Ten lines, the Lu family''s trash actually passed?"


    "Look, the eleventh is also lit up!"


    "Oh my god, could it be that he can still catch up to Young Master Mo, Young Master Mo, and Young Master Lu Yi?"


    "Yes."


    Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, the halo of the Strength Measuring Rock continued to shine tenaciously.


    Finally, when the fourteenth ring of light lit up, the Strength Measuring Rock finally stopped shining.


    Seeing the same result as Lu Yueru, Elder Chen shook his head in amusement and said to Lu Xiong, "Brother Lu, your kid is not kind!"


    Lu Xiong was stunned. He knew a little about Lu Feng''s strength, but he was not sure about his exact level of strength.


    "Brother Chen, what do you mean by that?"


    Seeing that Lu Xiong didn''t seem to be lying, Elder Chen said: "Brother Lu, it can''t be that you don''t even know your son''s actual strength, right?"


    Lu Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, I really don''t know this kid''s specific realm.


    Brother Chen, I''m not afraid of your jokes. My son previously had a bad reputation in Greencloud City, and he is recognized as trash with no cultivation base.


    It''s just that a little accident happened a while ago. My son made a huge mistake and was sent to the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain after I seriously injured him.


    He had wanted to leave him to fend for himself.


    He hadn''t thought that this kid would actually be able to leave the mountains three days later, and even possess an extraordinary cultivation base.


    However, I don''t know his specific realm, and he didn''t tell me in detail. "


    With Lu Xiong''s explanation, Elder Chen finally understood. It seemed like this kid had gotten lucky in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    "Brother Lu, if my eyes weren''t blurry, your son''s strength would be close to yours soon."


    Elder Chen meaningfully looked at Lu Feng and said to Lu Xiong.


    "It can''t be?


    "Brother Chen, from the aura on his body, it seems that he doesn''t have the presence of a Xiantian master."


    Lu Xiong looked at Elder Chen in disbelief.


    "Brother Lu, you haven''t entered the yellow level, so you might not understand some things.


    Your son''s aura is very obscure, and I can''t see through his cultivation level. Perhaps this is related to the cultivation technique he cultivates.


    However, that control technique he used just now was definitely something that could only be mastered by someone at the late stage of the Innate realm.


    Furthermore, looking at his light lifting, his understanding towards power is probably not any lower than mine.


    Brother Lu, I have something to ask of you. You must help me do a job to persuade your son to join our Heavenly Star Academy. "


    Lu Xiong was a little surprised. Could it be that Lu Feng was so heaven defying that he actually made Elder Chen, a Yellow Rank expert, say the words'' please ''?

 C51 Talent Test

    Elder Chen''s words were so polite, but Lu Xiong couldn''t just calmly accept them. He quickly said: "Brother Chen, to be able to enter the Sky Star Academy and learn even more profound cultivation techniques, is my son''s fortune. This little brother wishes for nothing more."


    "Hahaha!" "Then it''s a deal, no matter what your son does in the future, my Heavenly Star Academy will definitely have him as a disciple!"


    Elder Chen laughed loudly as he spoke.


    On the arena, without waiting for that Heavenly Star disciple to announce the results, Lu Feng had already turned around and walked off the stage, as if he didn''t care about the results at all.


    The disciple glanced at Lu Feng''s back, and a trace of anger flashed in the corner of his eyes. No one had ever dared to ignore a disciple of the Heavenly Star Academy.


    However, his identity reminded him that it was best to quickly announce the results.


    "140,000 Jin, qualified!"


    "Next."


    Perhaps it was because she didn''t want Lu Feng to be the prettiest, Jiang Xin, who was originally among the Jiang Clan''s disciples, followed closely behind Lu Feng and stood in front of the Strength Measuring Rock.


    As Jiang Xin struck out with her palm, her test results were once again updated. A hundred and fifty thousand Jin, this heroic and beautiful Jiang Xin had the strength of one hundred and fifty thousand Jin. She was truly a strange woman.


    After Jiang Xin left the stage, she returned to the Jiang Clan''s side with a calm expression.


    There were no more accidents during the following tests, and they continued to proceed normally.


    At noon, all the disciples that were qualified to participate in the exam, including the children of the commoners, had finished their test.


    In this exam, the Lu family became the biggest winner. A total of five disciples passed the test and advanced to the next round.


    As for the Yao and Song families, only two of their disciples had passed. There were three from the City Lord''s Mansion.


    As for the Jiang Clan, although only three people had passed, the number one genius of the Greencloud City, the young miss Jiang Xin Jiang, had obtained the top spot with a strength of 150,000 Jin, making the Jiang Clan an existence only second to the Lu Clan. It was even more famous than the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Although there were many members of the Humble Class, only two people had passed the first stage in the entire Greencloud City.


    Seeing the results of the test, Elder Chen turned to the City Lord, "City Lord Mo, it seems that under your leadership, this Greencloud City has a good development.


    To be honest, this standard of strength of one hundred thousand Jin was indeed a bit high for youths under the age of eighteen.


    However, the reason we set this standard was so that we could select the best talent possible.


    And in this city, as many as 17 disciples have passed the test at once, it''s clear how outstanding Greencloud City is under the leadership of City Lord Mo. "


    Upon hearing Elder Chen''s praise, Mo WUji''s face was filled with smiles as he said, "Elder Chen is too kind. As the mayor of this city, I naturally have to put my heart into managing this place. This so-called ''blessings for an official'' is part of my duty."


    At this moment, Elder Chen said, "City Lord Mo, please wait. I will be right back."


    After which, Elder Chen stood up and walked towards the arena.


    After the disciple had finished announcing the promotion list, Elder Chen said in a clear voice: "Next, the seventeen people that have advanced, please come onto the stage. We will begin the second round of the exam.


    "This round of the test is also very simple."


    After saying that, Elder Chen took out something that looked like a door frame and placed it on the stage.


    Turning around, Elder Chen said to all the other people that had advanced: "You all only need to activate your cultivation techniques and walk through this door. From the color on the door, you will be able to determine your aptitudes.


    Among them, blue was yellow, green was black, silver was earth, and gold was heaven.


    If you understand, then start. "


    Finished speaking, Elder Chen once again returned to the main platform and handed the work of organizing the exam to the deacon disciple.


    The first to walk up was still that slutty young master Mo Feimu. He walked past the door frame complacently.


    The results showed that Mo Feimu''s aptitude had reached the low-grade Mysterious rank; it was pretty decent.


    This time, Mo Bufan was overjoyed. He did not forget to take a provocative look at Lu Feng.


    Unfortunately, Lu Feng didn''t even bother to lift the corners of his eyes as he continued to chat and laugh with Lu Yueru.


    Mo Feimu took a look at Lu Luru, who was happily chatting with Lu Feng, and then at Jiang Xin, who was standing behind Lu Feng. A deep sense of unwillingness rose up in Mo Fan''s heart, which eventually turned into resentment against Lu Feng.


    If not for Lu Feng, how could Jiang Xin, who was still his fiancee, become such a stranger?


    As for Lu Feng, even though he had been punished, he had actually managed to obtain all of his cultivation. Rather than calling it a punishment, it would be more accurate to call it a reward.


    Looking back, Lu Feng seemed to have the potential to become the strongest person in Greencloud City. He could suppress almost all of the younger generation in the city, and he was accompanied by a beautiful servant girl who flirted all day long, causing people to feel infuriated.


    The most important thing was that the fight between the Lu and Jiang families, which Mo Wuji wholeheartedly hoped for, did not happen. This also caused Mo Feimu''s sacrifice to become a laughingstock, giving up the beautiful fianc¨¦e of the number one genius for nothing.


    The following tests were very dull.


    Lu Feng had finally determined that he was a high-grade Mysterious rank talent, on the same level as Jiang Xin. However, Elder Chen had a deep suspicion that Lu Feng was lying. His true ability was definitely above that of Mysterious rank.


    This was indeed the case. Lu Feng did not want to become the target of public criticism. He secretly used the method of concealing his aura and mixed himself with a high-grade Mysterious rank.


    On the other hand, Lu Haoran had reached middle stage Mysterious rank, and once again suppressed Mo Feimu, the young master of the City Lord.


    The final result showed that all seventeen people who passed the first round of tests had all passed the second round.


    After all, to be able to reach the middle Houtian realm before the age of eighteen in a place like Qingyun City where cultivation resources were scarce was a temporary decision.


    As for the reason why the Skystar Institution had done this, it was to avoid those with inborn divine strength, but those with poor aptitude, getting away with it. Their goal wasn''t to kill as many people as possible.


    However, among these seventeen people, Lu Feng and Jiang Xin were Superior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Apostles, Lu Lushui was Intermediate Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Apostle, Mo Bufan, Lu Yi, and Lu Piao were both Inferior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Apostles, and the rest were all Yellow Ranked Spirit Apostles.


    Of course, Lu Feng was an exception to this kind of freak who relied on cheating to conceal his own talent.


    Arriving at the arena once again, Elder Chen ordered someone to move over to a stone platform and placed a round plate about one feet in diameter on it.


    The shape of this disk was quite strange. There was a groove on it with the head of the plate intertwined. It meandered around the disc, occupying almost half of the entire disc''s area.


    Then, Elder Chen took out a pile of stone balls the size of longan and put them into the groove.


    No one knew what method Elder Chen used, but as soon as the small stones were placed into the groove, they began to roll along the surface of the disc, forming a gray stream.


    After finishing all this, Elder Chen came before the crowd once more.

 C52 Spiritual Force

    Looking at the lively group of seventeen young men and women, Elder Chen said seriously, "Everyone, you are all Heaven''s Pride Children of Greencloud City. You should know that mental energy is very important for a warrior''s cultivation.


    It could be said that the strength of one''s spirit energy was related to the upper limit of the practitioner''s spirit power.


    Only when he had finished cultivating his Spirit Power and entered the yellow level, would he be able to successfully produce his Spirit Power and release it outwards, reaching the stage where he could avoid the enemy first.


    Therefore, the final trial is a test of everyone''s ability to control their spirit power.


    Now, everyone can see the stone platform in front of me. There are thirty stone balls in total, and their size and appearance are completely the same.


    However, five of them were clearly different from the others.


    All you have to do is to find these five stone orbs within a set period of time and find those who have reached three or more. If you fail the entrance examination and fail, you will lose your qualifications to enter the Heavenly Star Academy.


    Do you understand? "


    Scanning through the crowd, Elder Chen announced, "Now, the examination begins. Everyone will be given an incense stick''s worth of time."


    After he finished speaking, Elder Chen sat on the side of the stone platform and actually personally acted as the head examiner.


    According to the order of the first two rounds of the assessment, Mo Feiman was the first one to arrive in front of the stone platform. He held his breath as he looked at the gray streams on the stone platform.


    Mo Bufan carefully observed the stone balls. He felt that they were all about the same. It was hard to tell the difference.


    It was only after the time it took to boil a cup of tea did Mo Bufan remember Elder Chen''s words. He needed to control his mind to feel it, and only then did he come to a realization and start to perceive it with his heart.


    Finally, just as the incense was about to be exhausted, Mo Feimu made his move.


    Mo Fan''s right hand quickly rose and fell, picking out five stone balls from the stone platform.


    After passing the stone orb to Elder Chen, Mo Fan secretly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and then looked expectantly at Elder Chen.


    Honestly speaking, even though Mo Fan seemed very confident just now, he was actually very uneasy in his heart, because he himself wasn''t very confident either.


    Receiving the five stone balls, Elder Chen casually glanced at them and said: "Three, qualified.


    "Next."


    With that, he casually threw the five stone balls back onto the stone platform and returned them to the gray stream.


    Mo Feifan thought he was lucky. He turned around and walked out of the ring.


    If nothing unexpected happened, then the two remaining people in the City Lord''s Mansion wouldn''t be as lucky as Mo Fan. Unfortunately, they were eliminated.


    When it was Lu Yi''s turn, he was just about to run out of time. By picking three pellets, he had just passed the test.


    After that, the other Lu Family disciple who passed the first two rounds failed the test and became the first member of the Lu Family to be eliminated.


    As for Lu Guang, although he was young, his cultivation was very solid. After half the time had passed, he decisively made his move and picked the right four. His results were even better than Lu Yi and Mo Bufan by a sliver, and it was even shorter.


    The next one was Lu Yueru. She had just met Lu Feng not long ago, so she glanced at him unconfidently. She said quietly, "Big brother, how about I give up?"


    However, Lu Feng said, "Hao Rui, our Lu Family does not have any descendants who surrender without fighting. It is impossible to give up.


    If you head over now, you will complete the mission according to the method I just taught you.


    "Go on, big brother believes in you!"


    With Lu Feng''s encouragement, the little girl seemed to have gained a lot of courage. With a happy expression, she walked to the front of the stone platform, closed her eyes, and earnestly tried to feel the difference between the stone orbs.


    According to the spiritual power usage method that Lu Feng had just taught her, the little girl quickly discovered the difference between those stone balls. Just like what Elder Chen had said, five of them were slightly heavier than the others in terms of weight.


    Would it be so simple?


    The little girl was a little unconfident.


    However, looking at the incense that was about to burn out, the little girl steeled her heart. It didn''t matter whether he was right or wrong, she would take it out first.


    Stretching out her small hand, Lu Lili quickly took out the five stone balls she had observed.


    After handing the stone orb to Elder Chen, the little girl looked at him expectantly with her big eyes.


    "Five of them, passed!"


    "Next."


    Elder Chen was somewhat surprised. From Lu Xiong, he had already found out about the background of this little girl. He also knew that she had never been in contact with cultivation before. This kind of ability was something he had only recently learned from Lu Feng.


    Seeing the little girl''s performance, Elder Chen became even more curious towards Lu Feng who was about to go on stage.


    "Brother, I passed. That''s great!"


    The little girl ran happily to Lu Feng''s side and said with her sweet voice.


    "Didn''t I just say that my sister is definitely stronger than others? That''s for sure."


    After praising the little girl, Lu Feng walked towards the stone platform.


    Surprisingly, Elder Chen who had not said anything for a long time actually said, "Little brat Lu Feng, I''m really looking forward to your performance!"


    Lu Feng looked at Elder Chen with interest. Just now, it was this middle-aged man who had discovered his little trick. Now that he said this, could it be that he suspected him?


    Seeing Lu Feng''s gaze, Elder Chen also raised his head and looked into Lu Feng''s eyes.


    In a short while, the examiners and examiners started to play an eye game and looked at each other without blinking.


    Finally, Elder Chen opened his mouth once again, "Boy, if you don''t hurry up, you will run out of time."


    Lu Feng laughed lightly: "No rush!" Didn''t you want to see my performance? "Then now you have to watch well."


    As he said this, Lu Feng''s left hand swept across the stone platform, and with a flip of his hand, he placed five stone balls in front of Elder Chen.


    Elder Chen''s eyes narrowed. This was his divine sense, scanning through the air. That wisp of divine sense just now was indeed this kid''s.


    "Hahaha, a young genius!"


    All five are right. Help me put them back. "


    Elder Chen did not even take the stone orb from Lu Feng. Instead, he laughed out loud and announced that Lu Feng had chosen all the correct ones. He even asked Lu Feng to help him throw the stone orb back.


    Throwing it away, Lu Feng smiled and walked towards the back.


    Elder Chen''s smile froze on his face. With his keen eyesight, he could easily see that the five stone balls that Lu Feng just threw were exactly where he had taken them out from.


    Such powerful spiritual sense control!


    Elder Chen was even more certain of his judgement just now.

 C53 Selection End

    Elder Chen was sure of his previous guess, but there was someone on the main platform who was dissatisfied.


    When City Lord Mo Wusui saw that Lu Feng had been staring at Elder Chen the whole time, he thought Lu Feng had given up on the test, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.


    However, Elder Chen didn''t even look at it. He directly announced Lu Feng to pass, and thinking back to the conversation between Elder Chen and Lu Xiong, Mo Wuji inexplicably had a wave of hatred towards Elder Chen in his heart.


    However, Elder Chen was an outer court elder of the Heavenly Star Academy. His power and influence couldn''t be compared with the City Lord of a small, remote city like himself.


    Thus, Mo Wuji could only suppress his anger.


    However, not daring to express his dissatisfaction with Elder Chen did not stop Mo Wuji from holding a grudge against Lu Xiong and his son.


    Right now, Mo Wuji could be said to hate Lu Xiong and Lu Feng to the bones!


    If he had the chance to get rid of this father and son duo, Mo Wumu definitely wouldn''t let him off.


    However, Mo Wuji could only bury his hatred deep in his heart and wait for an opportunity to appear.


    On stage, the test continued.


    Jiang Xin, who was behind Lu Feng, seemed to intentionally show off. In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, she had successfully passed the test with a score of five.


    It wasn''t until the sun was setting did this test finally end, and Elder Chen, who had already collected all his belongings, once again came to the front of the stage and said in a clear voice, "My fellow villagers of Greencloud City, thank you for your support. The selection of our Heavenly Star Academy disciples this time is already over.


    Among them were Mo Bufan, Lu Yi, Lu Guang, Lu Loulan, Lu Feng, Jiang Xin, and Song Hao. A total of seven people had passed the selection.


    These seven people will be led by me in three days'' time to rush to Heavenly Star City. They will officially enter the Heavenly Star Academy and become its outer disciples.


    I hope that the next time we reach the Greencloud City, we will see more talented young men appear.


    Finally, thank you again everyone! "


    Finished speaking, Elder Chen bowed towards the audience.


    As a Yellow Rank expert, to be able to do this was already quite courteous and approachable.


    After the acceptance speech, Elder Chen led the several disciples and the seven selected Clear Cloud City disciples down the ring and walked towards the City Lord''s Mansion.


    This time''s selection, the one who was in the limelight and had the biggest profit was undoubtedly the Lu family.


    The Lu family not only had four of their disciples who had passed the selection, accounting for more than half of the slots, but they had also demonstrated the strength of Lu Feng, Lu Yueru, Lu Guang, and the others. Especially Lu Feng, he had not only successfully broken away from the previous title of good-for-nothing, but had also become on par with Jiang Xin, the number one genius.


    As for the City Lord''s Mansion, the Jiang Clan, and the Song Clan, each had their own disciple successfully selected.


    The most tragic thing was that the Yao family had lost the most promising martial brothers. None of them had made it to the top of the Yao family. It could only be said that they had failed to reap any rewards.


    How could the Yao Family, one of the Four Great Families in Greencloud City, allow such a thing to happen?


    Thus, the head of the Yao family didn''t even attend the banquet held by the later City Lord Mo Wudu. With a flick of his sleeve, he went back home.


    Mo Wuji could not offer any words of consolation to the Yao Family. As for Elder Chen, he did not even bother to pinch his eyelids.


    The dinner ended in a friendly, warm atmosphere.


    However, Lu Feng could clearly feel that many gazes were filled with hostility and hatred as they continuously sized him up.


    At this moment, Lu Feng''s attention was already focused on the upcoming life in Heavenly Star City. He no longer cared about the backwardness of Greencloud City. He was just a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well.


    Truth be told, Lu Feng would require a lot of cultivation resources in the future. A small place like Greencloud City wouldn''t be able to meet his requirements, which was why he was willing to participate in what he viewed as a completely boring selection, aiming to earn the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Star Academy.


    With the status of Heavenly Star City in the kingdom, it was sufficient to provide all the resources that Lu Feng needed before he could break through to the Aurous Core Stage.


    This was the real reason why Lu Feng was participating in this selection. Moreover, by joining the Skystar Academy, he could borrow their strength to help him search for rarer materials.


    For a reputable sect like the Skystar Academy, after many years of accumulation, there were bound to be a few treasures that they could take out. Perhaps one of them was what Lu Feng needed.


    After the banquet ended, Elder Chen and Lu Xiong had agreed on the matter of visiting the Lu Manor tomorrow, so he went back to rest.


    As for Lu Xiong, he happily led the four disciples and elegantly left the City Lord''s Mansion, returning to the Lu Family''s Main Courtyard.


    As for Lu Yi''s selection, Lu Xiong didn''t have any special intentions. He would just let nature take its course.


    As for Lu Feng, Lu Haoran, and Lu Guang, they were able to make Lu Xiong extremely happy.


    Lu Guang was Lu Qing''s direct son, Lu Xiong''s nephew. He was only 15 years old, and yet he was able to stand out among the many competitors. This clearly showed his excellence.


    Moreover, Lu Qing was Lu Xiong''s loyal follower and had a lot of influence in the family. Regarding Lu Guang''s selection, Lu Xiong could only be happy about it.


    As for Lu Feng and Lu Rui, one of them was his own son, and the other was his adopted daughter, so he was naturally happier in his heart.


    This was especially so for Lu Feng, who had previously been known as the number one trash of the Greencloud City and was now a popinjay, almost becoming a public nuisance of the city. Who knew that after one trip into the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he would actually change so much, not only gaining a decent cultivation base, but also becoming more knowledgeable and no longer the kind of guy who would cause Lu Xiong to worry so much.


    After telling Lu Guang, Lu Yi, and the family guards to all go rest, Lu Xiong brought Lu Feng and Lu Yueru back to Lu Xiong''s residence.


    "Feng Er, this time, you really gave father a lot of face.


    Now, in the entire Greencloud City, who doesn''t praise the fact that I, Lu Xiong, have a pair of good children?


    So, I''m going to give you two brothers and sisters a good reward.


    Say it, if you have anything you want, just say it. As long as it''s something our Lu Family has, I will definitely not frown! "


    Lu Xiong, who was in a good mood, generously told Lu Feng and Lu Yueru.


    "Father, this daughter''s cultivation was taught by brother. I don''t usually need anything, and brother will prepare those things for me."


    Thus, your daughter will not accept father''s reward. Please give it all to Big Brother. "


    Lu Hua Rui blinked her large eyes, rushing in front of Lu Feng, and said earnestly to Lu Xiong.


    "Alright, since you two siblings love each other so much, I''ll help you two achieve your goal.


    Feng Er, tell me, what request do you have? "


    Lu Xiong looked at Lu Yueru and said. The more Lu Xiong looked at her, the more he liked her. He even felt a little regretful that he had admitted her too late.

 C54 Rejuvenating Vitality

    Lu Feng muttered to himself, then said to Lu Xiong: "Father, I really have something that I want to ask you for.


    However, before I ask for it, I want to apologize to you, father. "


    Lu Xiong asked curiously: "What is it? Why do you have to apologize? "


    Lu Feng said, "Father, the head guard beside me is called Lu Cheng. He used to be the gatekeeper, so I asked Uncle Lu Wenshan for it."


    On that day, after I returned from the Greencloud Mountain Range, I needed some materials so I went to the treasury to retrieve them.


    With Lu Cheng''s help, I happened to come across those treasured collections in our Lu family''s secret chamber.


    For this matter, I still have to ask Father not to blame Lu Cheng for acting arbitrarily. I forced him to do this. "


    "Hey, what''s the matter with me?


    Feng Er, remember, you are the Young Patriarch of the Lu Family. In the future, you will be in charge of the entire Lu Family.


    Everyone in the Lu family, everything is yours. Of course, those personal belongings, you can''t have any ideas.


    It was also my father who was absent from the house at the time.


    Therefore, you aren''t at fault. Lu Cheng was only executing your orders, so how could I, your father, punish him? "


    Lu Xiong said to Lu Feng. His words were filled with love and support for Lu Feng.


    Actually, the reason why Lu Xiong said this was to help establish Lu Feng''s prestige.


    Lu Xiong did not even have to guess to know what happened that day. Lu Cheng definitely wanted to rely on Lu Feng, which was why he reported a small secret to Lu Feng and begged him to protect him.


    As for Lu Feng, he must have made a promise to Lu Cheng, which was why he said those words of apology.


    As a father, Lu Xiong naturally had to support his son''s way of doing things. If he held back Lu Feng in this matter, causing him to lose faith, then it would be very disadvantageous for Lu Feng to take over the Lu Family.


    "Oh right, Feng Er, what do you have your eyes on?" Is it from the secret room? "


    After encouraging his son, Lu Xiong asked curiously. He knew that in the secret chamber, other than some precious materials, the family had found some strange things.


    "Yes, father. In that secret chamber, there is a dried up root. I want father to give me that root."


    Lu Feng said.


    The reason why Lu Feng did not take away the Five Elements Spirit Root that day was because he did not have a place to keep it, nor did he have the means to awaken it.


    Now that Lu Feng had reestablished his connection with the Primal Chaos Bell, he could naturally try to cultivate that withered root within the space of the Primal Chaos Bell.


    Moreover, the spirit root also had some Swelling Earth. This gave Lu Feng a certain certainty that he would be able to restore the Five Elements Spirit Root to its former glory.


    Another thing, although the Lu family seemed calm on the surface, they were actually hiding their killing intent. If Lu Feng were to allow his spirit root to remain there, he could not guarantee that nothing bad would happen to them.


    One must know that Lu Feng was about to leave the Greencloud City, heading towards the Heavenly Star City.


    Therefore, Lu Feng asked Lu Xiong for it.


    "Feng Er, why did you think of asking for that thing?


    That piece of tree root had been stored in the family''s secret room for a long time. No one knew its origin, and if it wasn''t for its strange appearance, it would have been thrown away by the previous heads of the family.


    Could it be that you recognize that thing? "


    Lu Xiong became even more curious.


    "Yes, Father. I do recognize that piece of tree root."


    The senior that passed down the techniques to me once told me, before he died, that in the Tian Yuan Continent, there are a few miraculous plants that are passed down from generation to generation.


    One of them was a plant called the Five Elements Spirit Fruit. Its performance was very similar to that of the tree roots.


    Thus, I suspect that the root came from the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree.


    According to the senior, if one consumed this Five Element Spirit Fruit, not only would it extend their life and increase their cultivation, but it would also give them a chance to obtain a trace of the origin energy of heaven and earth. It could also significantly improve a martial artist''s physique and even enhance their talent.


    So, I want to give it a try and see if I can awaken the vitality of the root and raise it. "


    He definitely wouldn''t say that it was something that had come from Mother Nuwa.


    "If that''s the case, then take it. I really hope that you can revive it. I want to experience it for myself. Is the Five Elements Spirit Fruit that you speak of really that miraculous?"


    The key was that raising a martial artist''s own talent was just too attractive. Lu Xiong had never heard of having a martial artist''s talent change, that was a talent that was born to them, how could it be changed so easily?


    After that, Lu Xiong led Lu Feng and his sister directly to the treasury. He opened the door of the secret chamber and personally handed the dried root over to Lu Feng.


    Taking advantage of Lu Xiong''s happiness, Lu Feng also asked for the reverse scale of the Raindragon.


    He had the Chaos Bell of his own, a combination of attack and defense.


    Therefore, Lu Feng was prepared to use the reverse scale of the Flying Rain-Dragon to help create an armor type magical equipment to protect the little girl''s safety.


    As for the weapon, Lu Feng was still thinking about it, so he was not in a rush right now.


    Lu Feng''s actions had awoken the vitality of both the five elemental spiritual roots. Lu Xiong and Lu Yueru were both very curious.


    However, it was impossible for Lu Feng to take out the Primal Chaos Bell in front of them. That was his last resort and it was best if there were fewer people who knew about it.


    After bidding farewell to Lu Xiong, Lu Feng and Lu Yueru returned to Lu Feng''s small courtyard.


    No matter how much Lu Feng begged, he wouldn''t give up. He just said that it was not the time yet, so he just gave the little girl a perfunctory reply.


    After returning to his room, Lu Feng waved his hand and set up a concealment array. From the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, he summoned the Primal Chaos Bell.


    The fist sized small bell quickly flew around Lu Feng, as if expressing its excitement.


    Taking out the five elemental spiritual roots from his Cosmic Bag, Lu Feng controlled the chaos clock and absorbed it into the dimension inside the chaos clock.


    In the next moment, Lu Feng''s divine sense moved and appeared in the interior of the Primal Chaos Bell.


    Taking the Five Elements Spirit Root floating in the chaotic space, Lu Feng broke a part of the chaotic space with a wave of his hand, burying the Five Elements Spirit Root on the ground.


    The moment the Five Elements Spirit Root entered the earth, under the control of the secret spell Lu Feng, the Swelling Earth that was attached to it fell off and quickly merged into the ground. It then forcefully opened up an area of space about one acre in size, no longer affected by the surrounding chaotic air.


    Only after sensing that the Five Elements Spirit Root was starting to absorb the spiritual energy in the air did Lu Feng relax.


    The so-called treasure had a spirit. It seemed like the Swelling Earth sensed the primal chaos within the chaos clock and automatically took off from the tree root, helping the Five Elements Spirit Root to regain its vitality.


    After doing all of this, Lu Feng''s divine sense moved and left the interior of the chaos clock.


    After putting away the Primal Chaos Bell, Lu Feng walked up to the bed and began to meditate.

 C55 Antiscaly Dracaena

    After meditating and adjusting his breath, he completely recovered the true essence within his body. Lu Feng took out the dragon scale the size of a palm and carefully examined it.


    This reverse scale was not a complete piece, and it seemed more like it had been forcibly broken by someone.


    Remembering the magnificence of the ancient era, Lu Feng sighed and began to take out materials from his Cosmic Bag.


    This time, Lu Feng was especially diligent in refining the protective items for Lu Lili. It was as if a portion of the precious materials stored in the Lu Manor had been brought over by Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng had already come up with a plan for this item. What he wanted to make was an inner armor. If he let Lu Yueru wear it, it would not only affect her appearance, but also protect her defenses.


    Naturally, he used this reverse scale as the main material for refining the inner armor. The other ores, as well as the magical beast materials such as the Ice Silk, Magic Spider Silk Sack, and Magic Ox Horn, only served as support.


    After carving out the [Convergence Array], Lu Feng took out the Trinity Cauldron, ignited the Samadhi True Fire under the cauldron, and began to refine the reverse scale.


    As the ancestor of the prehistoric dragon race, the Raindragon was at least at the level of a Golden Immortal. With Lu Feng''s current cultivation, it would be quite difficult for him to refine this small reverse scale.


    However, back in the day, the Eastern Emperor had been an expert in the art of controlling fire, which even made Zhu Rong Zu, who was also known as the Fire God, lose out to him.


    Although Tai Yi had reincarnated into Lu Feng, he had never forgotten about the method to control fire. The only thing missing was that he did not have that much true essence.


    However, Lu Feng had already returned to the Primal Chaos Bell. With the help of it, refining the reverse scale wasn''t too difficult.


    He placed the Samadhi True Fire at its largest. Then, Lu Feng opened his mouth and spat another mouthful of Samadhi True Fire, which wrapped around the reverse scale and silently burned it.


    After almost four hours, Lu Feng finally managed to refine the most crucial part of the reverse scale.


    The entire reverse scale had turned into a translucent liquid that contained a huge amount of spiritual energy. Lu Feng waved his hand and moved it to a corner of the Tricolor Cauldron, then continued to be wrapped by the Samadhi True Fire.


    Following that, Lu Feng used one hand to continuously pour all sorts of ingredients into the cauldron, creating balls of liquid and dispersing them everywhere in the cauldron.


    After calculating it, he felt that it was about time, so he stopped pouring the materials into the furnace. Instead, he urged his primeval essence to control the dozens of masses of liquid and began to fuse them.


    Under Lu Feng''s meticulous control, the process of the fusion proceeded smoothly, even though it was somewhat slow.


    When all the ores and magical beast materials were completely fused, the most important step was to fuse all the materials with the reverse scale liquid again.


    At this moment, the liquid mixture of the materials was about the size of a human head, while the liquid mixture of the reverse scale had already shrunk to the size of a baby''s fist.


    However, Lu Feng''s left hand formed a spell sign and pointed at the reverse scale liquid in the cauldron. He then shouted, "Spread out!"


    A miraculous scene occurred. The reverse scale liquid inside the cauldron seemed to have life of its own as it quickly turned into a thin film that wrapped itself around the head sized liquid mixture and began to devour it.


    That''s right, Devour!


    The reason why Lu Feng refined so many materials was actually to strengthen the inner core of the reverse scale.


    It was unknown how long this reverse scale of his had existed for. Although there was still a very strong fluctuation of spirit energy, but from the perspective of Lu Feng, it was almost at the end of its tether. Even if it was barely able to refine a set of armor, its defensive ability was also very limited.


    Of course, compared to the Tian Yuan Continent, even without any other materials, Lu Feng could still use the reverse scale to refine a totem or higher armor that would make people jealous of him.


    However, with Lu Feng''s power, he really couldn''t be bothered with that kind of thing. If he didn''t make a move, it was fine, but at least he had an immortal equipment?


    That''s right, what Lu Feng wanted to refine was an immortal equipment, an existence equivalent to one of the legendary divine tools of the Tian Yuan Continent.


    Carefully controlling the devouring speed of the reverse scale liquid, Lu Feng''s right hand quickly took out an Cyan Spirit Pill and threw it into his mouth, replenishing the primeval essence that was almost depleted of in his body. His left hand was still chanting, controlling the Samadhi True Fire that was wrapped around the two balls of liquid.


    After consuming two Green Spirit Pills, Lu Feng finally controlled the reverse scale liquid and finished swallowing those materials.


    Sensing the great power contained in the reverse scale liquid, Lu Feng became even more careful. His hands moved consecutively as he chanted one incantation after another, continuously entering into the fist-sized liquid.


    Lu Feng had spent almost all of the primeval essence in his body after he had cast out over a thousand Tao techniques. It was only then that he finally completed the process according to Lu Feng''s wish.


    "Gather!"


    As the last spell was cast, Lu Feng let out a loud shout and weakly sat on the ground.


    He then looked at the Trinity Cauldron, which was wrapped in the Samadhi True Fire, and started to change its size rapidly.


    Finally, with a burst of red light, a fiery red flexible armor floated out of the cauldron''s mouth and hovered above.


    Even though the cauldron had stopped changing in size, a slight cracking sound could be heard as a few cracks appeared on its surface.


    Reaching out his hand, he took the armor. After examining it carefully, Lu Feng felt a little disappointed.


    This soft armor wasn''t at the level of a celestial treasure because Lu Feng didn''t have any celestial spiritual energy so he couldn''t refine it. Of course, the grade of this soft armor was still higher than a spiritual treasure, so it could be considered a quasi-celestial treasure.


    Putting away the flexible armor, Lu Feng looked at the already damaged Trinity Cauldron.


    For a treasure of the Tripod level, forcefully refining a quasi-immortal weapon was unavoidable, even with Lu Feng''s protection.


    "Sigh, the grade of the Trinity Cauldron is still a bit too low."


    With a sigh, Lu Feng began to regulate his breath, restoring the true essence within his body. He was not in a very good state at the moment. To put it simply, he was almost at the end of his tether.


    Activating the Origin Convergence Array, Lu Feng activated the Circulatory Star Dou Technique and quickly absorbed the surrounding Yuan Qi to replenish his almost dried up Dantian.


    After a few continuous cycles, Lu Feng finally stood up. He had already recovered.


    Seeing that it was still too early outside, and there was still some time before daybreak, Lu Feng checked the materials in his Heaven and Earth Pouch and began to repair the Trinity Cauldron.


    Lu Feng was about to leave for Heavenly Star City. With the help of the Tripartite Cauldron, Lu Feng would lose a great deal of strength.


    Fortunately, in the Green Cloud Mountain Range''s Desolate Valley, Old Black and Xiao Jin had killed a lot of magical beasts. Fortunately, in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, Old Black and Xiao Jin had killed a lot of magical beasts, and Old Black and Xiao Jin had killed a lot of magical beasts.

 C56 Elder Chens Visit

    After spending about two hours, Lu Feng had completely restored the Trinity Cauldron and raised its grade to Mysterious grade, which was a full three times lower grade.


    Looking at the new Trinity Cauldron with a satisfied expression, Lu Feng let out a faint smile.


    In the next moment, Lu Feng moved his right hand. The figure of the Tricolor Cauldron rapidly shrank and floated to the ring finger of Lu Feng''s left hand. The three legs were firmly stuck in the ring, forming what looked like a ring.


    That''s right, this was precisely the new function that Lu Feng had purposely added to his Trinity Cauldron.


    Within the Trinity Cauldron, Lu Feng inserted a space array, causing the space inside to expand significantly. There were even a few separate areas.


    In other words, the current Trinity Cauldron already possessed the function of a storage ring.


    Before this, Lu Feng had always been somewhat displeased with the Cosmic Bag. As it dangled around his waist, he looked very silly.


    At that time, Lu Feng already had the thought of forging a storage ring.


    Later on, Lu Feng learned from Lu Cheng that it was not that the Tian Yuan Continent did not have any storage rings, but forging a storage ring required the use of a very rare ore ¨C Star Sand.


    It was said that this Star Sand was a type of meteor that would only appear in the meteorite when it fell to the ground. It was extremely rare.


    Because of this, there were very few storage rings in the entire Tian Yuan Continent. Everyone was using a simple Heaven and Earth Pouch.


    As for the size of the Cosmos Sack, it was around the size of several cubic meters to hundreds of cubic meters. As for the size of the Cosmos Sack, it was between several cubic meters to hundreds of cubic meters.


    Therefore, at the same time as he repaired the Tripod, Lu Feng purposely added a space array to it, which allowed the cauldron to have a part of the storage ring''s function.


    Even though the chaos clock in Lu Feng''s sea of consciousness could store items and even living things, but it was still recovering and had to bear the heavy responsibility of nurturing all five types of spiritual roots. In addition, Lu Feng did not want his final trump card to be easily exposed, so he gave up on the idea of using the chaos clock to store items.


    Moreover, with the identity of a top-grade Protocosmic treasure, ordinary items would be a disgrace if placed in there. Lu Feng did not want to do such a reckless act.


    Now, everything was settled. It was a brand-new Trinity Cauldron that had been added into the space array.


    The storage space inside the tripod, under the deliberate strengthening of the space array by Lu Feng, had reached a total of thousands of cubic meters, which was equivalent to ten meters or more in length and width. It was much higher than the top-level Cosmic Bag and basically satisfied Lu Feng''s needs.


    Satisfied, Lu Feng stroked the Trinity Cauldron on his left hand. Then, he smiled in satisfaction.


    After daybreak, Elder Chen from the Heavenly Star Academy, without bringing the five deacon disciples, arrived at the Lu family as promised.


    The entire Lu Family was very excited about Elder Chen''s arrival. This was the first time in the history of the Lu Family that such a high level character had come to visit.


    Early in the morning, Lu Xiong brought along a few Sect Elders and welcomed them at the door, waiting for Elder Chen''s arrival.


    Seeing Elder Chen with his fluttering sleeves, Lu Xiong welcomed him happily: "Brother Chen, welcome to my Lu Family, your presence brings glory to my humble dwelling!"


    "Brother Lu, we''ve already said this in advance. Today, you must drink to your heart''s content with me!"


    Facing Lu Xiong''s enthusiasm, Elder Chen straightforwardly said with a smile.


    "I dare not accept your request!" Lu Xiong jokingly dropped his bag.


    "Good, good, good. Brother Lu, I really like your straightforward attitude!


    "Hahaha!"


    Elder Chen laughed heartily as he accompanied Lu Xiong and the others into the Lu family''s mansion.


    In order to entertain Elder Chen today, Lu Xiong had spent quite a bit of effort.


    In the end, Lu Xiong brought Elder Chen directly into the back garden. There was a pavilion right next to the pond, and behind it was a fake mountain. Combined with the surrounding flower clusters, it was indeed a good place to go.


    Seeing such a beautiful scene, Elder Chen was also very happy, and he immediately let Lu Xiong worry about it.


    Arriving at the pavilion, he saw that there were already four delicate dishes on the stone table in the middle, as well as an ancient looking wine pot.


    Elder Chen was somewhat intoxicated by the aroma of the wine as he praised, "Not bad, not bad! It''s an aged Hundred Blossom Wine. I''m afraid that this smell has been around for quite some time."


    Lu Xiong extended an invitation and led Elder Chen to a seat. As he did, he said, "Big Bro is indeed amazing. This pot is precisely filled with 30 years of aging!"


    Saying so, Lu Xiong took the wine jug and poured a cup for Elder Chen.


    Elder Chen laughed heartily as he raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.


    "Good wine!" Good wine!


    Brother Lu, let me tell you, your brother''s greatest hobby is the one in this cup.


    Unfortunately, he spent most of his time in the Skystar Institution and had a lot of work to do. The Sect Leader Senior Brother also strictly forbade him to drink alcohol in broad daylight, which caused him to hold it in for a long time.


    This time, I met someone like your brother in the same sect when I came to the Greencloud City.


    As he spoke, Elder Chen downed another cup of wine.


    Lu Xiong accompanied Elder Chen. The two chatted about ancient times and modern times as they enjoyed themselves.


    After three rounds of drinking, Elder Chen suddenly said to Lu Xiong: "Brother Lu, where are your son and daughter? Why didn''t you call him out to get to know me? "


    Lu Xiong stared blankly, then continued to smile: "Brother Chen, I''m not afraid that my son will be too young to understand, if he were to offend you, wouldn''t that be too beautiful?"


    Elder Chen smiled: "Brother Lu, your children, aren''t they my, Old Chen''s, nephew and niece? We are family, what is there to be conflicted about?"


    Lu Xiong said, "Since that''s the case, then little brother will have someone call the two siblings over. It''s also good for Big Brother to serve tea."


    Finished speaking, Lu Xiong beckoned for the servants waiting in the distance, instructing him to call Second Young Master and Young Miss over to greet Elder Chen.


    Lu Feng didn''t participate in Lu Xiong''s welcome to Elder Chen in the morning, instead, he cultivated by himself for a few cycles.


    After Lu Lushui had woken up, Lu Feng took the fiery red reverse scale dragon armor and walked in front of her. He handed it over and said, "Lush, I used the half piece of dragon scale I took from the secret chamber yesterday to make you an inner armor.


    Now that you wear it on your body and use your true essence to nourish it, there will be many miraculous effects. "


    Lu Loulan Slash took the armour and flipped it over and over in delight.


    "Big brother, you said that it was made from that scale. How come I can''t tell where that scale went?"


    Lu Lushui asked curiously.


    "Wei Rui, my method of refining is passed down from the senior who taught me the techniques. According to him, this method seems to be different from the methods on the continent.


    In the application of some magical beast materials, instead of using the method of inlay that was commonly used in the continent, they used the method of internal refinement.


    It meant melting the material with fire, adding all sorts of arrays within, and then shaping it into the desired shape.


    According to what the old seniors said, this method is much more advanced than that inlay. "


    Lu Feng explained.

 C57 Elder Chens Curiosity

    Loulan Slash looked excitedly at Lu Feng, "Big brother, with your method, aren''t you leading the entire continent?"


    Lu Feng said, "Lush, there are many talents in the Tian Yuan Continent. Our Greencloud City is only a small corner, who knows what it will be like outside?


    That''s why I allowed you to participate in the Heavenly Star Academy''s test.


    At that time, the two of us will go to the Heavenly Star City and explore the entire continent.


    "Well, you won''t tell me you don''t want to go, will you?"


    With regards to the future plans mentioned by Lu Feng, Lu Lului was looking forward to them. Upon hearing his words, she hurriedly said, "Big brother, how could that be?


    "As long as big brother wants to go to a place, no matter if it''s Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild or Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, I will definitely go with you."


    "Good, then hurry up and refine this armor. Make sure it is connected to your mind as soon as possible. Only then will you be able to bring out its greatest effect."


    Lu Feng said.


    Unexpectedly, the little girl said seriously, "Big brother, this armour is so precious. You should keep it for yourself. You are much more dangerous than Lush."


    Lu Feng''s heart was moved. This little girl was really thinking for her own good. Even when he met a few groups of enemies in the past few days, he was still quietly paying attention to them.


    "You must be careful, big brother has better protective treasures, so he won''t be able to use this armor.


    Besides, I made the soft armor for you on purpose.


    Look, this fiery red color, isn''t that what you like the most? "


    What Lu Feng said was right. Although Lu Lore was of the icy attribute, her favorite color was still a bright red. Normally, she didn''t have the temperament of an icy beauty, but was more like a lively girl next door.


    After hearing what Lu Feng said, the little girl happily accepted the soft armor.


    After that, Lu Feng instructed the little girl. He forced a drop of blood essence out and dripped it onto the soft armor, making this quasi-immortal equipment recognize the little girl as its master. The rest was to slowly refine it.


    As the creator of the magic treasure, Lu Feng naturally knew the most about this soft armor.


    After that, Lu Feng taught Lu Yueru the entire set of refining methods. After that, it was up to Lu Yueru to put in a lot of effort.


    After receiving such a precious armor, Lu Yueru was naturally overjoyed and returned to her room to refine it.


    As for Lu Feng, he came to the yard and discussed the matter of going to Heavenly Star City with Xiao Jin and Laohei.


    Because they had to travel with Elder Chen and the others, Old Black and Xiao Jin naturally could not stay by Lu Feng''s side.


    As for the Lu Clan, after Lu Feng left, they had Little Tiger and Little Yu, the two giant emerald-eyed tigers. They believed that in a place like the Greencloud City, no one would be able to shake the Lu Clan''s position.


    As a top flying demonic beast, Xiao Jin could naturally travel through the air and cross the Green Cloud Mountain Range to reach Heavenly Star City.


    Even though Laohei didn''t have the ability to fly, he was a wind attributed demonic beast. He could control the Wind Arts with one hand and was at the peak of perfection. He could ride on the wind with Little Gold and cross the skies of the Clear Sky Mountain Range.


    Upon realizing this, Lu Feng felt relieved as well.


    Speaking of which, Lu Feng was indeed careless.


    As the two demon beasts that Lu Feng sat on, the Azure Skysnake Bull and the Golden Eagles, especially the Azure Skysnake Bull, were also Lu Feng''s mounts. Lu Feng actually wasn''t very clear on their specific abilities.


    After taking care of the Demonic Beasts in his house, Lu Feng returned to his room and prepared to continue cultivating.


    At this moment, Lu Cheng came to report. The Patriarch had sent someone to call Lu Feng and Lu Yueru to go to the back garden to meet Elder Chen.


    Lu Feng got up and went to Lu Lushui''s room. He saw that the little girl was concentrating on refining the reverse scale dragon armor. She had already entered into a state of forgetfulness.


    Lu Feng, seeing the situation, did not wake her up. Instead, he turned around and closed the door, walking towards the back garden alone.


    As they walked, Lu Feng thought to himself, someone with a pure heart like that little Lu Yueru''s is already hard to find.


    These people that Lu Feng came in contact with after coming to the Tian Yuan Continent, who wouldn''t be rolling around in the fields of fame and fortune?


    Taking Lu Xiong as an example, if Lu Xiong had not been the Patriarch of the Lu Family, but instead wholeheartedly focused on cultivation, with Lu Xiong''s talent, even if he did not have a high level cultivation technique, he would have already broken through the shackles between Xiantian and Yellow Level and become a true Yellow Level master, instead of thinking like this right now. At the peak of Xiantian realm, he had spent many years searching for high level cultivation techniques.


    The other three major families of Greencloud City, including the City Lord''s Mansion''s Mo Clan, weren''t all of them the same?


    While thinking, Lu Feng strolled to the back garden.


    Looking from afar, there was only Lu Xiong and Elder Chen in the small pavilion, drinking heartily.


    Since he had already made up his mind to experience the bitterness of the human world, Lu Feng gave up on his pride. He quickly walked into the pavilion, bowed, and said, "Greetings, father, and Elder Chen."


    "Cough, cough!"


    Lu Xiong let out a dry cough and said to Lu Feng, "Feng''er, Elder Chen and I are calling you father and brother. You should call me Uncle Chen instead."


    Lu Feng quickly bowed to Elder Chen, saying, "This nephew greets Uncle Chen!"


    "Hahaha, excuse me nephew!"


    "Come, sit down and accompany Uncle Chen for a few drinks."


    Elder Chen laughed.


    Lu Feng sat horizontally between the two of them. He extended his hand to the wine pot on the table and filled the glasses in front of Elder Chen and Lu Xiong before saying, "If that''s the case, then this nephew will give Uncle Chen a toast!"


    "Alright!"


    Seeing Lu Feng''s actions, Elder Chen shouted out loud, which suited his needs. He raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp.


    Lu Feng also drank the cup of wine in front of him.


    Honestly speaking, although this Hundred Blossom Wine was a rare wine in the Tian Yuan Continent, it was nothing to Lu Feng. In his previous life, he drank a lot of Bejewelled Nectar Wine, which was something mortal wine could not compare with.


    "Nephew, why didn''t your sister come with you?"


    Putting down the wine cup, Elder Chen asked casually.


    "That''s right, Feng''er. Why didn''t Lush Rhea come with us?"


    Lu Xiong asked with concern.


    "Father, Uncle Chen, Hua Rui has just obtained a piece of armor and is currently refining it.


    I saw that she was in a meditative state, so I didn''t wake her up.


    If there is any neglect, please forgive me, Uncle Chen. "


    Lu Feng explained.


    Lu Xiong responded with an ''oh'', indicating that he understood.


    Elder Chen continued to ask, "Nephew, yesterday during the strength test, I saw your little sister''s temperament drastically changed after she used her cultivation technique. What''s going on?"


    Lu Feng said, "Uncle Chen, this might have something to do with Lush''s personality.


    The little girl had a more pure personality. She did not like scheming and scheming, and she was more lively and active.


    However, her attribute was ice, which was very different from her appearance.


    Thus, in order to adapt to her innate attributes, I specially found an ice attribute cultivation technique to let her practice.


    This caused her temperament to change greatly the moment she activated her technique. "

 C58 Departure

    Hearing Lu Feng''s explanation, Elder Chen said, "So that''s how it is!


    It was said that ice and fire were hard to fuse with each other, but this little girl was really a reflection of contradiction!


    Oh right, nephew, there is something that you must tell me truthfully. "


    Lu Feng was stunned. "Uncle Chen, what do you mean?"


    Elder Chen said, "First tell me, what is your current cultivation level? Also, did you cultivate some kind of Qi Concealment Method? How could I not see your specific realm? "


    Lu Feng said, "Uncle Chen, it might be related to the cultivation technique I''m cultivating."


    As for the realm, I''ve just broken through to the middle stage of the Innate realm and can be considered to have just barely entered the late stage of the Innate realm.


    Of course, compared to your cultivation, Uncle Chen, it''s far from enough. "


    "Hahaha!"


    Good boy, I trained for over 40 years before I reached the middle stage of the yellow level.


    If you were to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with me right now, even I would suspect that you were possessed by a demon beast.


    At your age, to be able to enter the Xiantian realm is already a very impressive achievement, not to mention that you have already entered the late stage of the Innate realm.


    In time, breaking through to the Yellow Rank won''t be a problem.


    As for where your limit is?


    "I''m sorry, Uncle Chen, but I really can''t see."


    Elder Chen was speechless at Lu Feng''s words. With such a young age and such a cultivation base, his future would definitely be limitless.


    "Right, let''s get back to the main topic.


    Let me ask you, before the start of yesterday''s test, I sensed a spiritual sense seemed to be spying on City Lord Mo''s cultivation.


    Tell me honestly, was it you who did this? "


    Elder Chen asked with a solemn expression.


    "Yes sir!"


    Lu Fenghao admitted it without hesitation.


    In fact, as soon as he stepped into the back garden, Lu Feng could feel it. It was as if there was a spiritual sense that was faintly discernible around him, constantly spying on him.


    Without guessing, Lu Feng could confirm that it was Elder Chen''s doing.


    However, Lu Feng did not take any countermeasure and allowed Elder Chen to investigate.


    Because Lu Feng was confident that even if Elder Chen were to die from exhaustion, he wouldn''t be able to find anything based on his cultivation.


    Furthermore, ever since he had taken out his hand from the arena yesterday, Lu Feng had already predicted that the situation would turn out like this.


    Therefore, Lu Feng admitted without hesitation that the spiritual sense belonged to him, and he wanted to use this opportunity to explain Mo Wuji''s cultivation realm to Lu Xiong so he could be more careful.


    Although he had already suspected it, Elder Chen was still a little surprised by Lu Feng''s bluntness, especially when he was unable to detect Lu Feng''s cultivation level.


    "Brother Lu, this son of yours is truly amazing. At such a young age, not only is his cultivation strong, his control over and use of his soul consciousness far surpasses mine.


    Not to mention you, even your Greencloud City''s City Lord, Mo Wuji, has been taken in by your son without even realizing it.


    Brother Lu, this child''s future is limitless! "


    Elder Chen said to Lu Xiong with a sigh.


    Lu Xiong was shocked and looked towards Lu Feng, saying, "Feng''er, are you inspecting the City Lord''s cultivation?"


    Lu Feng said, "That''s right. That Mo WUji''s cultivation realm is slightly higher than your father''s. One of his feet has already stepped into the Yellow Rank. He can be considered a pseudo-Yellow Rank expert."


    Lu Feng''s meaning was clear, you are not Mo Wuji''s opponent. You must do your own protection and not be tricked by others.


    Lu Xiong naturally understood the implied meaning of Lu Feng''s words. The father and son pair had a tacit understanding under Elder Chen''s watch.


    "Brother Lu, I''m very happy. This time, I''ve recruited a peerless genius disciple for the sect."


    "Come, come, let''s drink a few more cups."


    Elder Chen, who was in a good mood, pulled Lu Xiong and began to drink again.


    Lu Feng saw that there was nothing left for him to do here, so he gave Elder Chen another toast before taking his leave.


    Elder Chen also felt that, since Lu Feng was here and had already solved the doubts in his heart, he happily agreed to Lu Feng''s departure.


    That afternoon, after drinking happily, Elder Chen brought the dozens of bottles of good wine that Lu Xiong had prepared for him and happily left the Lu family.


    Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    This day was the predetermined day to head to Heavenly Star City.


    Early in the morning, Lu Feng brought Lu Haoran and Lu Guang with him to the City Lord''s Mansion.


    As soon as he entered the plaza, Lu Feng''s eyes focused on a demon beast that was lying prone on the arena.


    This was a huge flying demonic beast. Its body resembled an enlarged version of a falcon, but it had a wolf''s head. Its cultivation level wasn''t too high, only around the middle stage of the Xiantian realm.


    However, the magical beast''s body was truly enormous. Its broad back was large enough for ten or so adults to sit on, and it was also very spacious.


    It seemed that this magical beast was the means of transportation for Elder Chen and the rest to the Sky Star Academy.


    "Xiao Jin, what kind of magical beast is this?"


    Lu Feng secretly transmitted to the Golden Eagles, who were currently standing on Lu Yueru''s shoulders.


    At this moment, the Golden Eagle was only the size of a palm. It was like a golden parrot, standing on the little girl''s delicate shoulder.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s question, the Golden-furred Eagle hurriedly sent out a spiritual sense and said to Lu Feng, "Master, this kind of magical beast is called the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle. It''s speed is very fast.


    However, other than its enormous body, which can be used as a means of transportation for you humans, it does not have any special abilities. "


    With the Golden Eagles'' explanation, Lu Feng finally understood the use of the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle.


    After all the students for the Heavenly Star Academy had arrived, Elder Chen, accompanied by the City Lord, walked out of the City Lord''s Mansion with a flushed face.


    Arriving in front of everyone, Elder Chen announced in a clear voice, "Little guys, today, we are setting off for Heavenly Star Academy."


    Perhaps everyone has noticed that the flying demonic beast over there is called the Cloud-Piercing Wolf Eagle, which is the mount that we used to cross the Cloud Sky Mountain Range.


    Soon, we will board the Cloud-Piercing Wolf Eagle and set off.


    Now, say goodbye to your parents and family. "


    After the seven Patriarchs and Elders bid their farewells, they gathered in front of Elder Chen.


    Seeing that it was almost time, Elder Chen waved his hand and shouted, "Let''s go!"


    He took the lead and flew towards the Cloud Wolf Eagle.


    After everyone had mounted the Cloud Wolf Eagles, Elder Chen said, "Everyone sit down. Grab the feathers beneath you so that you won''t be thrown off the stage after you increase your speed through the Cloud Wolf Eagles."


    Aside from Lu Feng and Lu Linjiang, who were both freaks and ignorant of the affairs of the world, everyone else had heard of the Cloud Wolf Condor''s reputation. They knew that once this magical beast flew, it would be extremely fast.


    If he were to be left behind, not only would he lose his face, his life might also be in danger.


    Thus, everyone followed Elder Chen''s instructions and tightly held onto the feathers beneath them. They fixed their bodies onto the Cloud Wolf Piercing Eagle''s back.


    After Elder Chen''s command, the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle stood up from the ground, spread its wings, and quickly flew into the clouds, flying towards the Clear Sky Mountain Range.

 C59 Heavenly Star City

    It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but on Lu Feng''s right was the little girl, Lu Yueru. There was no denying it; after all, they were brother and sister.


    However, Jiang Xin was sitting on the left side of Lu Feng. Two pretty girls were holding onto Lu Feng, which was a bit hateful.


    Not to mention Mo Feimu, whose eyes were about to spit fire, even Lu Yi and Song Hao, who were similar in strength to passers-by, had faces full of hatred.


    Lu Feng didn''t seem to notice the furious glares coming from behind him. Instead, he chatted and joked with Lu Yueru to soothe the little girl''s emotions. He occasionally had to deal with Jiang Xin, who interjected with a very relaxed manner.


    This could be the first time the little girl had travelled so far. Ever since she had gotten on the Cloud Wolf Eagles, her expression had become a little unnatural, as if she was at a loss for what to do.


    Of course, Lu Feng had seen all of this. This was why he was chatting with the little girl to help her ease her nervous mood.


    At first, Lu Feng didn''t want to bother with Jiang Xin, who was sitting beside him.


    From Lu Feng''s point of view, although Jiang Xin exuded a valiant aura, in the end, she was still a woman.


    Besides, Miss Jiang seemed to have been complimented since she was young. She had the potential to be a proud and delicate girl when she spoke and acted.


    Honestly speaking, Lu Feng wasn''t too interested in this kind of young mistress'' attitude.


    For Lu Feng, who in his previous life was known as the Celestial Emperor, with so many beauties surrounding him, when had he ever been tempted?


    Speaking of which, this was also Lu Feng''s sorrow. Although he was powerful and brilliant, he wholeheartedly wanted to pursue the Heavenly Dao and even had to face the pressure of six saints and the covetous eyes of the Witch clan. All he thought about was scheming and fighting all day, how could he have the time to enjoy the love of a man and a woman!


    Therefore, in this life, Lu Feng had made up his mind to leave everything up to fate. The so-called Daoist magic was natural. There were no longer any traces of the axe or chisel, and that was the direction of the Heavenly Dao.


    This was also the reason why Lu Feng doted on the little girl, Lu Yueru.


    Although the speed of the Piercing Cloud Wolf Eagle was very fast, the Green Cloud Mountain Range below was even wider.


    After continuously flying for more than four hours, the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle finally approached the core region of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    Seeing that there was a clear difference compared to the outer regions, Lu Feng''s heart skipped a beat. He used his Spiritual Sense to check the area below.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng''s expression changed and he quickly retracted his Spiritual Sense.


    This was because, according to Lu Feng''s senses, there were several powerful auras spreading throughout the world far away from the Cloud Wolf Eagles. They had an overwhelming aura to them.


    Lu Feng estimated that from those auras, their strength should definitely not be lower than Earth Stage, which was equivalent to his own Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.


    No wonder the Skystar Institution had such a high ability. Elder Chen could only command the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle to fly close to the core region, and not directly from the very center.


    Lifting his eyes, he signaled to the Golden Eagles that were squatting on Lu Yueru''s shoulders. Lu Feng transmitted his voice, "Xiao Jin, what was your status in the Greencloud Mountain Range that day?"


    "Master, at that time, I was only at the late stage of the Innate realm. To be honest, I could only muddle around outside and did not dare to go in between. Occasionally going in was also because I was a flying magical beast and my speed was quite fast."


    Lu Feng was dumbstruck. He had never thought that the Green Cloud Mountain would be such a terrifying place. According to Jin Ling Ying, if it was upside down in the middle, wouldn''t it be the Yellow or Profound Rank demon beasts that were walking all over the ground?


    As for the core position, it was filled with at least Earth Rank existences. Perhaps there might even be Heaven Rank demon beasts there, but there wouldn''t be too many of them.


    "Xiao Jin, Laohei has traveled through the Qingyun Mountain Range alone. He won''t encounter any danger, will he?"


    Lu Feng asked worriedly.


    This time, Lu Feng finally gave up on the plans to have the Golden Eagles travel together with the Azure Python Bull. Instead, he wanted the Golden Eagles to take on the appearance of parrot.


    Because Lu Feng wasn''t sure what was going on in Heavenly Star City, in order to ensure that there was a chance, he let the Azure Skysnake Bull travel alone, passing through the Greencloud Mountain Range and meeting up with him in Heavenly Star City.


    In response to Lu Feng''s worry, Jin Ling Ying was a little disapproving, "Master, you''re overthinking it. That Old Black is a cunning thief.


    He used to be one of the hegemons of the Greencloud Mountain Range, and he was also extremely cunning. He would definitely conceal his presence and secretly pass through the territories of those top-tier demonic beasts.


    You have to know, at our previous level, we already had the concept of territory. Unless there is an existence much stronger than us, we will attack all the other magical beasts that enter our territory.


    With Laohei''s shrewdness, there''s absolutely no problem at all. "


    "What? From what you''re saying, it seems like Lao Hei''s reputation in your circle isn''t that great?"


    Lu Feng asked with a hint of amusement.


    However, the eagle said very seriously, "Master, you can''t actually say that. It''s just that this fellow, Old Black, is normally very tyrannical. Furthermore, he is the absolute overlord of strength in the outer region, so there aren''t many Magic Beasts that would dare to provoke him.


    However, this guy was just too shrewd. Every time he entered the central area, he would hide his presence, and relying on his wind-type magical beast powers, he would go as fast as the wind.


    If he happened to be discovered by the demon beasts in that territory, this guy would often go up and kiss ass to the point of fainting. If he tried to establish a relationship with the demon beasts, he might just run away.


    As for those Yellow Rank demon beasts, they basically did not bother to lower themselves to his level, so they just turned a blind eye to him and let him get by. "


    After hearing what the Golden-Feathered Eagle said, Lu Feng finally understood that the Azure Python was indeed of the wind attribute. It was simply an expert at following the wind. It would often get some benefits as well, making the other arrogant Magic Beasts unhappy.


    "Little Gold, it''s natural for people to seek profit and avoid harm. Perhaps, this is also a method of survival for Old Black, and we can''t criticize it."


    Lu Feng said to Jin Ling Ying in a light tone, and sent him back to Lu Rui''s shoulder.


    What surprised Lu Feng was that not only was the Cloud Wolf Eagles provided by the Heavenly Star Academy extremely fast, their endurance was also top-notch. After continuously flying for such a long period of time, they weren''t exhausted at all.


    After almost a day of continuous flight, the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle finally arrived in the sky above a vast city.


    They had arrived at Heavenly Star City.


    Looking at the majestic city from the sky, the youths on the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagles couldn''t help but exclaim in admiration.


    Indeed, compared to Greencloud City, Heavenly Star City was ten times larger. The buildings in the city were also more luxurious, and the flow of people on the streets was a testament to the prosperity here.

 C60 See and Hear

    Greencloud City was a typical city built on a mountain. Although it wasn''t a big city, it had an extraordinary advantage in terms of terrain.


    As for Heavenly Star City, it was situated in the middle of the plains. There weren''t any tall mountain peaks in the surroundings, and at most, there were some small mountains in the surroundings. The terrain was extremely flat.


    Moreover, compared to the desolate area around Greencloud City, Lu Feng and the rest could clearly see that in the surroundings of Heavenly Star City, there were countless cities and villages scattered about like stars in the sky, speckling the vast earth.


    The Sky Star Academy was not located in the city, but on a hill not far away from the city.


    The hill covered a wide area, and was like a terraced field. There were layers of houses, and at the foot of the hill, there was a small town that guarded the academy.


    The Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle landed in the small plaza in front of the mountain. Elder Chen walked in first, turning around as he said, "Young geniuses, welcome to the Heavenly Star Academy.


    This trip is quite tiring, so you guys should settle down under the arrangements of a few deacon seniors.


    The induction ceremony would be held three days later.


    For the next three days, you can stroll around as you wish and familiarize yourselves with the environment of the academy. "


    Finishing his words, Elder Chen left by himself to report to the Headmaster and the Elders Guild.


    After that, the five disciple deacons arranged living quarters for Lu Feng and the others.


    Due to their prestigious status in Heavenly Star Academy, the academy took up a large amount of space. As a result, every new disciple was given a small courtyard as their dorm room. The scale of the dormitories was only slightly smaller than Lu Feng''s in the Lu family.


    However, after being assigned to the dorm, Loulan Lu still strongly requested to live with Lu Feng.


    With regards to this, the five disciple deacons didn''t say much. Since the dorms were already given to you, it was your own business if you couldn''t stay or if you wanted to stay with a few people.


    What surprised Lu Feng was that Jiang Xin had once again chosen the yard next to Lu Feng''s. Together with Lu Rui''s yard, they had Lu Feng''s yard in the middle. It was like a replica of the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagle.


    Regarding this, Lu Feng couldn''t say much. It was the other party''s power to choose a courtyard. He couldn''t allow others to say anything about it.


    However, the other people from Greencloud City, including Mo Fan, Lu Yi, and Song Hao, were all glaring at Lu Feng, silently cursing him in their hearts. It was a pity, however, that they had no way to change Jiang Xin''s decision.


    Especially Mo Bufan. Recently, he had been suppressed by Lu Feng and was on the verge of exploding.


    Towards the jealousy and resentment of others, although Lu Feng felt like he had been shot, he did not pay them any heed.


    After putting away the luggage, Lu Feng called for Lu Liru to go out for a walk with him.


    When he reached the entrance, he happened to see Jiang Xin, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, walking out of the courtyard.


    "Sister Jiang Xin, you''re going out too?"


    On the way there, Lu Rui had gotten to know Jiang Xin very well. However, Lu Feng did not pay much attention to her. She also wanted to establish her own social circle, and it was impossible for her to get involved at all times.


    Furthermore, Lu Feng was busy investigating the situation in the Green Cloud Mountain at the time, interacting with the Golden Eagles. Thus, he could not be bothered with the matters between the two girls.


    Now it seemed that the two girls had established a preliminary friendship.


    Jiang Xin smiled at her and said, "That''s right, little sister Lai Rui. I was just about to go out and take a look."


    "What, are you guys preparing to go out as well?"


    Lu Yueru skipped over to Jiang Xin, grabbed her arm and said happily, "That''s right, Sister Jiang Xin. Why don''t we go together?"


    Hearing this, Jiang Xin''s expression changed. She turned her inquiring gaze to Lu Feng, but all she saw was Lu Feng turning his head to the side, as if he was indifferent to the matter.


    Jiang Xin wanted to reject her offer, but she couldn''t resist her pleas. In the end, she had no choice but to agree.


    Just like that, the green-gowned Lu Feng, followed by two flower-like young girls dressed in red and white, left the Heavenly Star Academy and entered the small town outside.


    Not far from the academy was the entrance to the small town. There stood a memorial archway with the words "Heavenly Star Town" written in large, gilded characters. Judging from the brush strokes, it was obvious that the person who had written this was not only an expert in calligraphy, but also an expert with a unique skill in martial arts.


    After entering the small town, the three of them began to casually tour around. It was not to buy anything, but to stroll around and familiarize themselves with their surroundings.


    The town wasn''t big, only having a few streets, but the business atmosphere was very strong. Not only were there all sorts of materials shops, there were also many specialised shops such as finished products, pills, weapons, protective gear, magical equipment, etc.


    Moreover, in the middle of the town, there was a magnificent building. In this small town, it was like a crane among a flock of chickens.


    Taking a closer look, it was an auction house.


    Looking at the auction house, both Lu Yueru and Jiang Xin were excited. Such facilities were something that could not be found in a small and remote city like Greencloud City.


    At that moment, the two girls both wanted to go in and take a look, especially Lu Yueru. She pulled on Lu Feng''s arm and walked forward.


    Arriving at the entrance of the auction house, he was informed that the auction house was normally not open for auction. Only the last part of every month would hold an auction, where some rare materials would be auctioned off.


    In addition, if there were special treasured materials, or high-grade medicinal pills, magical equipment, weapons and other items, the Auction House might also hold special auctions from time to time.


    Lu Lulong was in high spirits, but she was unable to enter the hall. She pulled on Lu Feng''s hand and was about to walk back.


    Just then, a duck voice came from the side. "Where did this bumpkin come from? He actually didn''t even know that the auction house was not open for business? This young master has truly broadened his horizons! "


    "Haha, Young Master Li, the academy has been recruiting new disciples. Are you from some countryside bumpkin?"


    Another voice sounded, mixed with endless ridicule.


    Being called a country bumpkin by others, Lu Lushui was a child. She felt displeased and immediately looked back in anger.


    "Oh, Young Master Li, I didn''t know that there are beauties beside this bumpkin?"


    The one who spoke was a young man in the uniform of the Heavenly Star Academy. He was around twenty years old and was currently standing next to a man with a face full of vultures.


    The man with vultures all over his face was Young Master Li. He was wearing a brocade robe and was waving a fan in his hand. He was lustfully looking at Lu Rui''s pretty face.


    "Lush, sister, let''s not cause any trouble. Let''s hurry up and leave."


    Afraid that Luru would suffer a loss, Jiang Xin quickly turned around and pulled her away, wanting to leave.

 C61 Conflict

    "Oh, this girl is not bad too!"


    "Li Li, go get those two girls over here for me. Tell them that I, Li Yunzhi, invited them. I don''t want to die by the side of that country bumpkin."


    Young Master Li had a lustful expression as he spoke to his henchmen beside him.


    That lackey Li Li arrived in front of Lu Feng and the other two with a smile. He looked at Lu Feng with a face full of ridicule and said, "Brat, if you know what''s good for you, then automatically disappear. A bumpkin like you isn''t worthy of having two beauties like these."


    Pausing for a moment, Li Li then said to the two girls beside Lu Feng, "The two beauties, with your talents, staying by this brat''s side will be an insult to you two?


    Look, that person over there is our Li Yun''s Young Master Li.


    Young Master Li was not only talented, but he also had an elegant demeanor. He was at the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, and he was the young master of Heavenly Star City''s Li family.


    Let me tell you, if you can get along with Young Master Li, being rich and powerful is just a sentence.


    If you want to cultivate, Young Master Li can provide you with all sorts of resources, such as cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, materials, and so on.


    How about it?


    Beautiful ladies, why don''t you two follow me? "


    Li Li agitated his tongue like a reed. He praised the young master Li Yun, who had a vulture face and was currently infatuated with women, as if he had done many things before.


    However, what Li Li Li didn''t expect was that after he chatted for a long time, the man and woman opposite him didn''t seem to have any reaction. Besides the young girl wearing a red dress who had a ridiculing smile on her face as she sized him up, the other two were completely expressionless.


    Li Li was slightly angry. This was indeed not the first time he helped Young Master Li do this.


    As a bodyguard of the Li Family, although Li Li had already entered the Heavenly Star Academy, he still maintained his loyalty to the clan, especially since he had entered the school with the help of Young Master Li before him.


    And Li Yunzhi, as well as Young Master Li, was a well-known family in Heavenly Star City. They were big families and could not afford to offend ordinary people.


    Thus, before this, when Li Li was helping Li Yun to bring harm to the little girl, it was practically doing everything to the detriment of Li Li.


    When others heard about Li Yun''s family background, they were either willing to take the bait or were forced by the Li family''s reputation to not dare to resist. Of course, there were also people who directly begged for mercy.


    However, this was the first time someone had completely treated him as air.


    "Brat, I think you''re just refusing a toast and eating a forfeit? Still not getting out? "


    Li Li did not dare to do anything to the two beauties that Young Master Li had set his eyes on. He could only vent all of his anger onto Lu Feng as he yelled at him in a stern voice.


    Lu Feng had just arrived at Heavenly Star City and did not want to cause any trouble. He smiled and said gently to Lu Lulong, "Come, let''s go back."


    After saying that, Lu Feng brought Lu Yueru and Jiang Xin with him and turned to head back to the Skystar Academy.


    Lu Feng wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but the other party did not seem to appreciate his kindness and did not give him the chance to do so.


    A figure flashed in front of him. Li Li appeared again in front of Lu Feng and shouted, "Kid, are you deaf?


    I''m talking about getting you out of here!


    I''m not asking you to bring these two beauties with you! "


    This time, Lu Feng was slightly unhappy. This person was really reckless.


    "Scram!"


    If you dare to block me again, don''t blame me for being impolite! "


    Lu Feng''s face turned cold as he said unhappily.


    At this moment, the commotion attracted the attention of many people. Many people gradually surrounded them, including many who were clad in the robes of the Heavenly Star Academy.


    "Look, isn''t that one of the four great tyrants of the academy, Li Yunzhi? He must be bullying others again! "


    "Yes, it''s a pity that these two little beauties, tender and tender, were targeted by Li Yunzhi. What a terrible life!"


    "Yeah, it looks like Li Li is about to make his move."


    "Ai, that young man is still young and vigorous. He''ll be suffering soon!"


    "Yeah, Li Li is one of the top 500 outer court disciples. These three people look unfamiliar. How could they be his match?"


    "This Li Yunzhi is really not a good guy. He bullies men and women all day long!"


    "There''s nothing we can do about it. After all, he has a good father! I heard he is the Li family''s master''s most beloved son. Who would dare to offend him? "


    "The elders of the academy aren''t restraining him either, it''s true!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Listening to the discussions of passersby, Lu Feng''s face turned darker and darker. Li Yunzhi was a malignant tumor of the Skystar Academy. Relying on his family''s background, he bullied men and women.


    Those discordant praise, in Li Li''s ears, became clear evidence of his strength as a fox, as if praising him, and he had a sense of not feeling ashamed, but instead feeling proud.


    "Kid, do you understand?


    You can''t mess with our Young Master Li.


    If you don''t want to be unlucky, then hurry up and disappear. Young Master Li is still waiting to have a heart to heart talk with the two beauties. "


    Li Li had a complacent expression as he sneered at Lu Feng.


    "Quack quack quack!"


    Lu Feng raised his right hand and slapped Li Li''s face with a large-eared melon seed.


    ''Pa! ''A crisp sound was heard.


    Everyone present seemed to have been petrified as they looked incredulously at Lu Feng, as well as at the right hand that was still in the air.


    After a short while, the crowd burst into an uproar once again, and the onlookers started discussing among themselves.


    "This kid is really bold. He actually dared to slap Li Li Li in the face?"


    "That Li Li is the number one subordinate of Li Yunzhi. He often helps Li Yunzhi in bad things."


    "Yeah, slapping Li Li''s face is the same as slapping Li Yunzhi''s face. This kid is truly fearless!"


    "With Li Yunzhi''s style, this kid is probably going to be crippled."


    "What I find strange is that Li Li is an early stage Innate expert, how did he get slapped in the face?" Even if it''s a sneak attack, it''s basically impossible? "


    "Could it be that the young man is a hidden expert?"


    "That''s not right, I just saw these three people at the square. They came back together with Elder Chen YangHui, they should be new disciples recruited by the academy, they shouldn''t have a very strong cultivation."


    "Didn''t Elder Chen go to Qingyun City?" In such a remote place, if a Xiantian master appeared, then he would be formidable. Most of them were middle-aged men that were in their thirties or forties. From the looks of it, he should only be 16 or 17 years old, right? "


    "¡­ ¡­"


    In the arena, Li Li touched his swollen cheek as he looked at Lu Feng with a vicious expression. However, he was still somewhat bewildered in his heart.


    Earlier, he didn''t even notice how Lu Feng suddenly appeared in front of him and gave him a slap on the face. Then, how he retreated back to his original position.


    At this moment, Li Li felt like he was riding a tiger and couldn''t back down. The young man in front of him thought he was a soft persimmon from a country bumpkin.


    However, what puzzled Li Li was that the aura emitted from Lu Feng''s body was not that obvious. It did not have the outward appearance of a Xiantian master.


    "Kid, your skills are pretty good!"


    A feminine voice rang out. Li Yunzhi, who was originally sitting at the back, appeared in front of Lu Feng and the others.

 C62 Power Face-smacking

    "Useless trash, you can''t even do such a small thing!" Why aren''t you leaving! "


    Li Yunzhi turned around and angrily roared at Li Li Jun. Then, he turned to Lu Feng and said, "Brat, you actually dared to attack my Li Family members. How dare you!?


    Right now, I will give you a chance. Kneel down and apologize to me. Perhaps I will consider it and let you die a less miserable death!


    Otherwise, I don''t mind entertaining you properly!


    "Hahaha!"


    As he finished speaking, Li Yun laughed wildly.


    After Li Yunzhi had laughed enough, Lu Feng coldly said, "Li Yunzhi, right?


    This young master will also give you a chance. Now, bring your lackey and immediately disappear in front of this young master!


    Otherwise, I don''t mind cleaning up your trash! "


    Lu Feng''s words caused Li Yunzhi''s complacent expression to freeze. He looked at Lu Feng in disbelief.


    In fact, at the back of the crowd, Li Yunzhi had a rough understanding of Lu Feng and his group''s origins. He knew that they were new disciples that Elder Chen Yanghui had brought back from Greencloud City.


    Li Yunzhi knew a lot about the city, it was a remote mountain area and he had never heard of any powerful experts coming out of the city.


    Furthermore, according to Li Yunzhi''s knowledge, the strongest expert in Greencloud City was only at the pinnacle of Xiantian. He was not much stronger than Li Yunzhi.


    Thus, Li Yunzhi looked down on Lu Feng and the rest.


    As far as he was concerned, the young man in front of him was nothing more than a stubborn duckling. In reality, he was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. As long as he showed himself, he would be scared out of his wits.


    He didn''t expect that Lu Feng''s tone would be so much louder than Li Yunzhi''s. This caused Li Yunzhi to be at his wit''s end.


    "Such an audacious brat, if there is a road to heaven and you refuse to go, then there will be no door to hell!"


    Looks like if I don''t teach you a lesson today, don''t you know how high the sky is and how deep the ground is?


    "Li Li, attack! Life and death don''t matter!"


    Li Yun was so angry that he started laughing. With a vicious face, he said a few harsh words to Lu Feng before turning around and calling out to his lackey.


    Li Li had just lost so much face in Lu Feng''s hands. He was already filled with resentment. It was just that because of Li Yun''s order, he didn''t take any action.


    At this moment, Li Yunzhi actually gave the order to disregard life and death. Then he naturally wouldn''t have to worry about anything.


    "Heart Piercing Palm!"


    Li Li mobilized all of his Quintessential Essence and activated the martial skill that he was the most proud of. He fiercely attacked Lu Feng.


    The Heart-Piercing Palm is naturally a powerful technique, and it is one of Li Li Li''s ultimate techniques. As long as the palm touches the other party''s chest, the force contained in the palm would be able to easily penetrate into the other party''s heart, causing a huge amount of damage, which one wouldn''t be able to see from the outside. It is similar to the Mountain Break Bull that we are familiar with, but it is specifically aimed at the heart, so it is a very insidious technique.


    "This young man is in danger!"


    "Yeah, Li Li used his trump card the moment he started. He''s deliberately not letting this young man live!"


    "Sigh, I should have apologized earlier. I had to force myself on it. I''m doomed now!"


    "That''s right, a country bumpkin from a small place like Qingyun City is really a country bumpkin. He has never seen the world before!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Li Li suddenly appeared in front of Lu Feng and attacked with his palm.


    Looking at Lu Feng, it was as if he was scared silly. Li Li walked up to him, but he didn''t do anything.


    "This guy can''t have been scared silly, right?"


    "Ai, if you don''t court death, you won''t die!"


    "What a pity for the two beauties. Such a beautiful person is about to fall into Li Yun''s demonic palms!"


    "Isn''t it all because this kid is reckless and wants to provoke Li Yun?"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    In a split-second, just as everyone was discussing and Li Li''s palm was about to touch Lu Feng''s clothes, Lu Feng moved.


    Without using any martial skills, Lu Feng suddenly retreated, dodging Li Li''s palm strike that he was so confident in.


    Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lu Feng flipped his wrist and suddenly appeared. He grabbed Li Li''s wrist and tightly gripped Li Li''s pulse with his thumb.


    With a single move, he was immediately controlled. The complacency in Li Li''s eyes completely vanished, was instead replaced by terror!


    Expert!


    Just as this thought appeared in Li Li''s mind, he suddenly felt a stream of heat rush into his right arm. An intense burning sensation spread throughout Li Li''s entire body.


    Ah!


    Li Li screamed out in a loud voice.


    "Humph!" That clown dares to be so presumptuous in front of this young master! "


    Lu Feng snorted coldly. He raised his foot and kicked Li Li Li''s chest. Li Li''s large body was sent flying several meters back.


    Li Li struggled to straighten his body, held onto his right arm, which had its meridians broken, and arrived beside Li Yun. "Young Master Li, this subordinate is incompetent, and is not a match for that person!"


    It turned out that Lu Feng hated Li Li Li for being his accomplice. After grabbing his wrist, he injected the Samadhi True Fire into his right arm, directly destroying all the meridians in his right arm.


    In other words, Li Li''s right arm was completely crippled. Even if he used a Regeneration Pill, it wouldn''t be able to recover.


    "Hmph, what a useless trash. Scram back to the sect and think before you face the wall!"


    Li Yunzhi turned his face around faster than he could flip a book. Seeing that Li Li Li had lost his use, and his right arm was hanging limply at his side, his exposed skin emitted a strange red color, and he knew in his heart that his right arm must have been crippled.


    Therefore, Li Yunzhi immediately began chasing them away. Not only that, he didn''t ask Li Li Li to go back to the Li family to heal, he wanted to go to the sect instead. In other words, Li Yunzhi had given up on his loyal follower.


    Hearing this, Li Li''s eyes revealed a trace of dissatisfaction. He had risked his life to follow beside Li Yun, yet today he had ended up like this. This was something he truly couldn''t accept.


    In addition, a surge of hatred towards Lu Feng swiftly filled Li Li''s mind.


    If it wasn''t for Lu Feng, Li Li wouldn''t be in such a miserable state. A Xiantian expert being kicked out of the sect, it would be embarrassing even if it were to be spread out.


    It had to be known that although martial arts were prevalent on the Tian Yuan Continent, Xiantian realm warriors were still the backbone of the large families. Li Yunzhi''s way of chasing people away was disrespectful to martial artists, but his way of doing so was a bit ruthless.


    No longer paying attention to Li Li, Li Yunzhi turned around to face Lu Feng. He waved the fan in his hand and pretended to be magnanimous as he said, "Brat, you actually dared to cripple Li Li''s right arm. This is truly a heinous crime.


    However, on the account of your youth and ignorance, I shall give you a chance to redeem yourself.


    Now, kneel down and submit to me! "


    Finished speaking, Li Yunzhi squinted at the sky, looking like he was going to surrender soon.


    Lu Feng almost laughed out of anger. Was this Li Yunzhi brainless or just stupid?


    Since he could easily cripple Li Li, how could he dare to put on such a show in front of him? He felt too good about himself!

 C63 Enter the Sect

    He ignored the arrogant Li Yunzhi.


    Lu Feng turned around and signaled to Lu Yuliu and Jiang Xin. He then led the two ladies away, separating the crowd and heading towards Skystar Academy.


    This time, Li Yunzhi felt even more embarrassed.


    Originally, in Li Yunzhi''s opinion, as long as he showed the Li Family''s name, Lu Feng would most likely submit to him.


    At that time, wouldn''t the two beauties beside him still be his?


    Also, Li Yunzhi was very interested in Lu Feng''s cultivation. Although he was a playboy who did all sorts of evil, he did have an extraordinary background and he still had some basic eyesight. Seeing Lu Feng''s earlier actions, he did not even use his full strength, which was why he wanted to recruit Lu Feng.


    Unfortunately, Li Yunzhi had overestimated his charm. In the eyes of Lu Feng, the so-called Li family was nothing more than bullsh * t. When he grew stronger, it would only take a blink of an eye to destroy the entire Li family.


    Moreover, with Lu Feng''s status, would he even want to recruit a small family?


    However, in Li Yunzhi''s eyes, Lu Feng was blatantly slapping him in the face.


    "Halt!"


    Li Yunzhi gave a loud roar, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Lu Feng, blocking the attack.


    "Kid, you injured my Li Clan members, yet you don''t give me any explanation. Do you think you can just leave like that?"


    Lu Feng halted his steps. He looked at Li Yunzhi with a funny expression and coldly said, "Make way!"


    Facing Lu Feng''s complete disregard, Li Yunzhi flew into a rage. This was the first time someone didn''t give face to him.


    He knew very well what level he was at. Although he had the strength of the middle stage of the Innate realm, the majority of it had come from medicinal pills, so it didn''t mean that his Young Master Li was that powerful.


    For a hedonistic son like Li Yunzhi, he would not spend too much time and effort on cultivation since he had a powerful family to rely on. The practice of martial arts especially gave him a headache.


    Li Yunzhi wanted to retreat, but he didn''t want to lose too much face. He could only darkly say to Lu Feng, "Brat, you''re really arrogant!


    Do you dare to leave behind your name?


    Of course, if you''re afraid, you can choose to keep it a secret! "


    Li Yun''s meaning was very clear. He would let him go today and seek revenge another day.


    "Lu Feng!"


    With these two simple words, Lu Feng led Lu Lushui and Jiang Xin in the direction of the Skystar Academy through the tunnel that the crowd had cleared, leaving behind only one person, Li Yun, in a disorderly state in the wind.


    "What are you looking at? Still not getting out of the way? "


    Lu Feng''s figure gradually disappeared from Li Yunzhi''s line of sight. The Eldest Young Master retracted his sinister gaze and shouted angrily at the onlookers.


    Although there were many onlookers present, none of them were as tough as Lu Feng, daring to face off against Li Yunzhi head-on.


    After being scolded by Li Yunzhi, the crowd quickly dispersed as if they were afraid of causing trouble for themselves.


    "Lu Feng, it doesn''t seem right for you to offend the Li Family today!


    I''ve heard of this Lee family before. They are one of the largest families in Heavenly Star City, and their strength is second only to the Heavenly Star Palace''s Palace Lord who represents the kingdom.


    You have offended that Li Yunzhi today, and crippled one of his claws, so you must be careful of their revenge! "


    After returning to the Skystar Institution, Jiang Xin didn''t return to her own courtyard. Instead, she followed the two brothers to Lu Feng''s courtyard, saying worriedly to him.


    "Big Sister Jiang Xin, that Li Yunzhi is nothing special. He doesn''t even dare to touch our brother. We don''t need to be afraid of them."


    Lu Lushui said to Jiang Xin, not caring at all.


    Jiang Xin was about to say more, but was interrupted by Lu Feng, "Miss Jiang Xin, the cultivation of our warriors is a heaven-defying action.


    Since even the heavens were not afraid, was there still a need to care about a small clan in the secular world?


    Furthermore, you''re already the number one genius of the Greencloud City and now that you''ve entered the Heavenly Star Academy, it''s not impossible for you to become a Yellow Rank powerhouse or above in the future. Don''t worry about these trivial matters anymore. "


    Lu Feng''s words made sense, so Jiang Xin had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him. Instead, she turned to Lu Feng and said, "Lu Feng, I think you shouldn''t be so polite with me. Just call me Jiang Xin."


    "That''s right, brother, why are you being so polite with Jiang Xin''s sister?"


    Lu Lushui urged from the side as well.


    "Fine then. Jiang Xin, I can''t enjoy myself playing with you guys today. Let''s wait for the next opportunity."


    After chatting for a while, Jiang Xin bade farewell and returned to her small courtyard.


    That night, Lu Feng received another great boost from him, his mount, the Azure Skysnake Ox Old Black.


    As for the Golden Eagles and Azure Python, Lu Feng divided the work for them. The Golden Eagles would usually take the form of parrots and stay close to Lu Lili to protect her; while the Azure Skysnake was usually relatively free and could move about freely. Only when Lu Feng was traveling would they be able to play the role of their own mounts.


    However, Lu Feng had given the Azure Python another mission. They had to lay down a piece of land in the Greencloud Mountain Range, which was near the Heavenly Star City. This would serve as a path of retreat for the future.


    The Azure Skysnake Ox was very happy with Lu Feng''s arrangement. This meant that he could return to the Greencloud Mountain Range and continue on with his domineering days. Not only that, the current him had already reached the strength of an early Yellow Rank.


    In order to thank Lu Feng for his kindness, the Azure Python took the initiative to tell Lu Feng that in the future, the food for Lu Feng and the others would be provided by him, the Azure Python.


    After letting the Azure Skysnake Python take care of itself, Lu Feng returned to his room to cultivate.


    Three days passed quickly.


    This morning, a deacon disciple came to the living area of the new disciples and loudly called for them to gather at the plaza in front of them. The induction ceremony was about to take place.


    Lu Feng, who had just finished his training, brought Lu Haoran and Jiang Xin to the small square where the Cloud Piercing Wolf Eagles had landed.


    There were already quite a few people gathered in the small square, and they were chatting in groups of twos and threes.


    "This Heavenly Star City is really huge, much bigger than our Luo Feng city."


    "Yeah, our Luo Feng City is only so big, this Heavenly Star City is already bigger than our city."


    These two people were obviously from another small city, Luo Feng city.


    "Look at those country bumpkins, they really haven''t seen the world."


    "That''s right, is Heavenly Star City something those small cities can compare to? This is the capital of our Heavenly Star Prefecture, and there''s a kingdom''s army stationed here! "


    These few people were obviously the local residents of Heavenly Star City.

 C64 Sect Disciples

    Lu Feng took a quick look. There were about 150 to 160 students who had passed the Heavenly Star Academy''s selection. Their cultivation was almost the same as the Houtian realm, and very few had a Xiantian realm expert or higher.


    However, the sheer scale of the battle had surprised both Jiang Xin and Lu Yueru. With so many Pre-Sky Realm warriors, it was enough to flatten one of the Four Great Clans in Greencloud City.


    In the morning, a group of more than a dozen people arrived at the small plaza. Elder Chen Yanghui, who went to Green Cloud City to select disciples, was impressively among them.


    The dozen of them came to a stop in front of the crowd and stood on a small stage on the side of the square.


    The previously noisy public square instantly quietened down upon the appearance of these people. Everyone knew that this was definitely the entrance ceremony for everyone from the upper echelons of the Sky Star Academy.


    Looking at the crowd below with great satisfaction, the leader took a step forward and announced in a clear voice, "Young geniuses, welcome to Heavenly Star City and the Heavenly Star Academy.


    Let me introduce myself.


    I am the Head Supervisor of the Skystar Institution, my name is Zhang Han, everyone can call me Head Supervisor Zhang, or Elder Zhang.


    The people behind me are all the outer sect elders of our Skystar Academy. You might know one or a few of them, but that''s alright. You''ll gradually get more familiar with them in the future.


    Alright, back to the main topic.


    Every five years, our Heavenly Star Academy recruits a disciple, and everyone of you are the lucky ones this time around.


    To be able to pass our Skystar Academy''s examination already shows everyone''s strength and potential. Therefore, I hope that everyone will study seriously and cultivate properly in the future, raising your cultivation level as soon as possible and reaching an even higher realm.


    In the Heavenly Star Academy, all the students were divided into four ranks: outer disciple, inner disciple, core disciple, and Successor Disciple. There were four ranks in total, and each rank was different. Naturally, they would receive different treatment.


    Here, we do not have worldly money, nor do we need to spend primeval stones. When you choose to receive the cultivation resources provided by the sect, you need something called contribution points.


    As the name implies, these contribution points are what you''ve made to the sect, proof of your own actions.


    These contribution points can be used to exchange for pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, defensive equipment, magical equipment, and other things that you think are worth it. The specific exchange will be decided by the individual and will not be interfered with by the sect.


    And as sect disciples, each person will receive a portion of contribution points from the sect as your daily usage.


    In addition, the sect has a mission distribution center. You can accept some missions that are within your capabilities. After you complete them, you will receive different amount of contribution points according to the difficulty of the missions.


    Of course, if you were willing to pay a certain amount of contribution points, you could go to the sect''s mission distribution center and issue some bounty missions. The exact amount of the bounty would be decided by you.


    After the induction ceremony is over, we will send you all a small booklet that will give you a detailed introduction.


    What I want to tell everyone next is some of the sect''s rules.


    As a disciple of the Skystar Institution, the sect rules state that members of the same sect must love each other, and that private duels are not permitted.


    If there really was a conflict, he could apply to the elder for the use of the arena. The two parties to the conflict would resolve the conflict in the arena.


    Of course, he could also sign the life and death scroll under the public witness of the elder. At that time, life and death would be decided by fate, and he couldn''t blame anyone else.


    Why emphasize this?


    This is because I''ve heard that one of you crippled the arm of a fellow member of the Heavenly Star Academy, causing all the meridians in the opponent''s arm to wither, resulting in irreversible damage.


    Of course, this happened before you entered the sect, so the sect didn''t pursue this matter. It could be considered a reminder to all of you that you''re not allowed to engage in fights between fellow disciples in the future.


    Next, all sect disciples had the responsibility to protect the honor of the sect if they encountered an invasion.


    "..."


    Finally, he gave a general idea of the sect''s rules, then changed his tone and said, "From now on, all of you can be considered to have officially joined a sect. In a while, there will be a deacon disciple to give you the uniform and sect symbol of a sect. All of you must wear them, especially when participating in sect activities, and must wear the same uniform.


    Your schedule is that the seniors in the sect will tell you about your experiences in training, as well as professors of various arts and martial arts. You can arrange the time according to your own circumstances.


    If you don''t dare to be interested in what the teacher says, you can also skip class. These are your freedom.


    As long as you do not violate the rules of the sect, you can arrange your own time in the afternoon and evening.


    Also, the sect has a special library, and the first level is open to everyone. If you have any information that you need to search for, you can borrow them from the library.


    However, you must remember that the second floor and above are not open to ordinary disciples.


    Well, that''s all I have to say.


    Now, I declare that the induction ceremony has officially ended.


    Congratulations, students of the Heavenly Star Academy. "


    Chief Eunuch Zhang ended his long speech and brought the outer sect elders down from the platform, returning to their own residences.


    As for Lu Feng and the other new disciples, they all received their clothes, identity plates, a small booklet recording the rules and regulations of the Skystar Academy, and a simple map of their sects before dispersing.


    After studying the booklet, Lu Feng discovered that at the beginning of every month, the outer sect disciples of the Heavenly Star Academy could receive 10 contribution points from the outer sect stewards. As for the rest, they would have to earn by themselves.


    As for the range of exchange for contribution points, it encompassed almost everything from food and clothing to cultivation techniques to magic treasures. It was truly a type of all-purpose currency.


    The record of contribution points was also very unique. It was all recorded on one''s identity plate. When exchanging items, one only needed to take a swipe with their identity plate, and it was very convenient and convenient.


    Moreover, contribution points also support transactions between individuals, and there is no inconvenience in using them.


    For disciples, other than providing a place to stay, the sect did not care about other things. If you had enough contribution points, you could easily exchange them for a sumptuous meal in the Exchange Center. However, if you were short on money, then you would feel embarrassed.


    Actually, one of the biggest functions of the little town was to provide a place for the disciples of the sect to eat. At the same time, it also provided entertainment and provided shopping.


    After roughly understanding all of this, Lu Feng threw down the booklet and continued cultivating.


    No matter what he said, it was a lie. Only when one''s own strength was high would one be able to earn more contribution points and live freely and unrestrainedly.

 C65 First Class

    It was a quiet night. The next morning, Jiang Xin, who was sitting next door, came to call for Lu Liru. She wanted to go to class with her.


    As for Lu Feng, he naturally went along with them.


    The three of them walked side by side. Unknowingly, they had already become Lu Feng in the middle, accompanied by two girls.


    According to the map given by the sect yesterday, the three of them arrived at the Martial Lecture Hall very quickly. This was the place the sect had specially arranged for the outer sect disciples to lecture.


    Many of the new outer sect disciples were envious of Lu Feng''s appearance. Even the older disciples were a bit envious. Who had seen two great beauties coming and going in their own sect?


    Moreover, of these two beauties, one was cute and adorable while the other one was heroic and decisive. They were both rare beauties with the beauty of a nation, yet Lu Feng had brought them out in an instant.


    Towards all sorts of envious and hateful gazes, Lu Feng seemed to be immune to all kinds of gazes. He did not even bother looking at them. He brought the two girls, found a seat and sat down.


    The Martial Lecture Hall was very large, but there were only around a hundred or so sect disciples inside. It should have something to do with the notice that was posted earlier, because it astonishingly stated that this was the first experiential learning for new disciples.


    It seemed that the senior disciples were unwilling to attend this class, so only the new disciples were allowed to attend; thus, the Martial Lecture Hall seemed empty.


    Of course, it was not as if there were no older disciples inside, only two or three of them. Their cultivations were not very high either, probably because they wanted to revisit their beginner''s knowledge, or because they had made some mistakes in the past to make up for it.


    Not long after Lu Feng and the others arrived, a white-haired old man pushed open the door and walked in.


    Seeing the old man that came in, Lu Feng was slightly disappointed. This man''s cultivation was only at the peak Xiantian realm, about the same age as Lu Xiong, but he was already so old.


    The old man walked to the front of the stage and coughed dryly. He then said to the disciples below: "Alright, let''s begin the lesson.


    Today''s lesson is to give you a basic overview of the continent and the situation we face.


    After that, we will have a systematic understanding of the current cultivation system. It includes, but is not limited to, techniques, martial skills, pill refining, etc.


    Alright, let''s go to class.


    Everyone knows that the continent we are on is called the Tian Yuan Continent.


    What was the shape of the continent?


    It''s like this. "


    As the old man spoke, he drew a circle on the blackboard behind him.


    "Our continent is surrounded by an ocean, and is collectively called the Endless Sea. As for what lies on the opposite side of the ocean, we will have to wait for further exploration.


    In other words, no one had been to the other side of the Endless Sea so far.


    As for the Boundless Sea, it contained countless Sea race Magical Beasts and Monstrous Beasts. On the islands in the sea, there were also a few humans. However, most of them were extremely vicious people that could not be tolerated on the continent.


    Currently, there are four empires on the continent. We belong to the Eastern Azure Dragon Empire, and in the southeastern part of the continent, we are separated from the southwestern part of the Vermillion Bird Empire by the Cyan Cloud Mountain Range.


    The White Tiger Empire is in the northwest part of the continent, it basically has nothing to do with us.


    And in the middle of the four empires, in the center of the continent, is a land devoid of human life, which we collectively call the Savage Land.


    The Clear Sky Mountain Range between us and the Vermillion Bird Empire is actually an extension of the Wilderness.


    As everyone knows, Greencloud City is located at the corner of the mountains. That is also the first line of defense for our empire against the Vermillion Bird Empire.


    Of course, right now, we are at peace with the Vermillion Bird Empire, and there are many tamed flying beasts on the mainland. This makes the Greencloud City a relatively remote and remote place.


    "In general, the current Tian Yuan Continent is relatively calm. There are no major wars occurring between the Four Great Empires."


    After listening to the elder''s explanation, Lu Feng had a better understanding of the Tian Yuan Continent. The center of the mountains that he had previously thought to be was only a small piece of the wilderness.


    As for the area between the Greencloud City and the Heavenly Star City, it could only be considered as a remnant of the Greencloud Mountain Range.


    Thinking about the several terrifying auras that he sensed, Lu Feng couldn''t help but feel a bit apprehensive. If his Qi channels were already like that, then what kind of existence was the real core of the mountain range?


    After the old man gave a general introduction of the situation on the continent, he began to talk about the current known training systems and the various branches.


    Lu Feng listened for a moment. Although this old man''s cultivation wasn''t high, he was indeed knowledgeable. He was able to easily analyze the pros and cons of each sect.


    However, Lu Feng was no longer in the mood to listen to the old man''s story. His mind had already developed a great interest in exploring the entire continent.


    According to what Lu Feng knew, the current cultivation levels of the continent were divided into Body Refinement Realm, Houtian realm, Xiantian realm, and above that were the four levels of the Sky Profound Yellow Stage, Heaven Stage, corresponding to the Void Interpretation Stage of the cultivation system. As for the levels above, they were not known to the world, and the old man''s narration didn''t mention anything, as if it had suddenly stopped after reaching the Heaven Stage.


    According to Lu Feng''s guess, there should be at least two more stages above Heaven Stage, which was just enough to deal with the large success and tribulation stages of the cultivation system. Otherwise, it would be impossible to give a reasonable explanation.


    Could it be that all the experts that had broken through to the Heaven Stage had gathered at a certain place, making their statements not obvious to the world?


    Lu Feng guessed.


    At this time, the old man on the stage changed his tone and talked about contribution points. This time, Lu Feng was interested, he still wanted to earn more contribution points, and it would be best if he could get the qualifications to enter the sect treasury.


    The old man said, "The identity token that the sect gave you yesterday contained your monthly contribution points. It''s not much, each of you get 10 points. This is for your newly entered individuals.


    In the future, at the beginning of every month, the sect will give you a contribution point, but this contribution point is distributed according to the ranking of the outer sect disciples.


    Up until now, there were more than a thousand outer court disciples in the sect. Among these disciples, the ones after one thousand could only be like this time, receiving ten contribution points each month.


    But between five hundred and a thousand people would receive twenty points; between one hundred and five hundred, thirty; top fifty, fifty; top twenty, one hundred; top ten, two hundred; top three, five hundred, eight hundred, one thousand.


    In other words, if you can become the first in the outer court, then you can receive a hundred times more contribution points than a thousand other disciples every month. "

 C66 Outer Sect Ranking

    "Teacher, may I ask how is this ranking conducted?"


    The elder had just finished speaking when someone stood up and asked loudly.


    "Indeed. Teacher, do we need to compete?"


    Someone on the side echoed.


    Looks like there are plenty of people as interested in contribution points as Lu Feng.


    The old man paused for a moment and said, "It seems that you are very concerned about this ranking. Alright, I''ll explain it to you in detail."


    As mentioned before, the students of our Sky Star Academy are divided into four categories: outer sect, inner sect, core, and Successor Disciple.


    Among these four levels, the number of true disciples was the lowest. Currently, there were only four true disciples in the entire sect.


    Below that were the core disciples. There weren''t many of them, only around twenty people.


    There were several hundred inner court disciples.


    And the ones with the most numbers are the outer court disciples like you, a total of over 1600 people.


    Among the rank 4 disciples, the core disciples and the Successor Disciples were very few in number, so their monthly contribution points distribution was the same.


    But because there were too many inner and outer disciples, and also to encourage everyone to train harder, the sect had set up two rankings: the inner and outer disciple rankings.


    Every month, the sect would give each disciple a chance to participate in a trial by fire. They would enter the sect''s trial tower and carry out challenges, using their results to calculate their ranking.


    Of course, you can also give up on this kind of trial, but your ranking won''t always be the same. This is because those who are ranked last will still be ranked ahead of you if their results surpass your previous results.


    For example, if you were originally ranked first, then you would no longer have to participate in the ranking trial this month. As long as no one surpassed you, you could stay in the first place and enjoy the appropriate treatment.


    However, as long as there is someone who has surpassed your previous record, then I''m sorry. Your first place position will belong to someone else, and your ranking will drop accordingly.


    Of course, it doesn''t mean that after someone overtakes you, the two of you will have to switch positions.


    With regards to the tower of trials, the Elders of the sect had spent a great deal of their mana to create a mirror space. After entering the tower, on the first floor, an opponent with the same strength as you would appear.


    The second floor would have two equally matched opponents, and so on and so forth. With each step up, there would be one more.


    What was worth noting was that the tower of trials had a total of seven floors, and was suitable for disciples below the Xuan level to use.


    If their cultivation exceeded the Profound Ranking and they couldn''t become core disciples, they would lose their chance to participate in the trial again.


    Generally speaking, a disciple who had reached this level already represented that they had no hope of breaking through again. So, they either had to leave the sect, join the management, and become an outer sect elder or manager.


    I remind you all that being injured in the tower of trials is different from being truly injured, as it will recover after you leave the tower. This is also to protect the lives of the sect disciples.


    The old man gave a general overview of the entire tower of trials.


    At this time, someone from below asked loudly, "Teacher, if I pass the first floor, can I choose to give up on entering the second floor?


    Also, if there are two people who passed the first floor, then how will their rankings be counted? "


    The old man stroked his white beard and said, "Passing the trial naturally depends on a person''s talent, strength, as well as their ability to change positions against their enemies.


    For example, the question that this disciple had just asked was actually very simple. Several people that had passed a certain stage would give up on challenging the next level and would determine their rankings based on the time they took to pass the next stage. The less time they used, the higher their ranking would be.


    Of course, if one failed, was killed, or gave up on their own accord and left the tower of trials, then they would be ranked according to the principle of who had persisted in the tower for a long time and had a better result.


    However, he had to remind everyone not to waste too much time in the tower. Although they wouldn''t die, it would harm their mental strength to a certain extent. If they accumulated more, they might go crazy, so once they saw that something was off, it was better for them to give up as soon as possible to avoid causing unimaginable damage to themselves.


    "In short, it''s just a sentence. Whoever passes the test will be ranked higher in terms of time. Those who fail will be ranked higher in terms of time. This is the basic principle."


    At this moment, someone asked again, "Teacher, the current record for the tower of trials is which floor, do you have a clear record?"


    The old man continued, "The existence of the tower of trials has already existed for over a hundred years. In this period of time, the Heavenly Star Academy has welcomed countless outstanding youths, but so far, there is only one person who has managed to clear seven trials in one go, completing the tower of trials.


    As for the current outer sect disciples, the highest record was that they had reached the fifth floor and no one had passed yet.


    "Of course, there might be a hidden expert among you who can break through and become the next person to pass. I, as well as the Headmaster and the Elders Guild, are also looking forward to this."


    When everyone heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air. The current number one outer sect disciple had only passed the fifth floor, so the difficulty of the tower of trials could be imagined.


    Lu Feng''s interest towards this tower of trials was quite high. Moreover, Lu Feng was keenly aware that there were a few traps concealed within the old man''s words.


    According to the old man, the tower of trials was a mirror space, so it was very likely to be a magic treasure. The so-called Mirror Space should be the inner space of the magic treasure, similar to how the interior of the Primal Chaos Bell created its own world.


    Secondly, the Mirror Space formed an opponent with the same strength as the challenger. With the same strength, was it referring to the same realm, or was it the same ability? If it was the latter, then this tower was an extremely high grade treasure.


    Lastly, if a challenger was killed in the tower, they would not die. Could it be that the person who entered the tower was just a challenger''s spiritual sense, and not the challenger himself?


    Moreover, the old man said that killing him would consume part of his spiritual power, which meant that his spiritual sense was damaged. Where did this part of his spiritual sense go?


    Could it be that he was absorbed by the tower of trials itself?


    It looks like I need to find a time to visit the tower of trials.


    Lu Feng thought to himself.

 C67 Some People Seek Revenge

    After answering a few more questions, the elder announced that class was over. He packed his stuff and left the Martial Lecture Hall.


    Since their teacher had already left, there was no need for these outer sect disciples to stay here any longer. They all grabbed their belongings and began to walk out of the Martial Lecture Hall.


    Lu Feng, Lu Lai, and Jiang Xin followed the stream of people and arrived outside. They discovered that it was already noon.


    "Jiang Xin, what are your plans for the afternoon?"


    Very rarely, Lu Feng took the initiative to talk to Jiang Xin for the first time.


    Jiang Xin was obviously surprised for a moment, but quickly responded, "I''m planning to go to the library in the afternoon to take a look around and see what kind of books there are, so that I can look up information if I have any questions regarding cultivation later on."


    What about you? Lu Feng, what are your plans? "


    Lu Feng, however, didn''t answer Jiang Xin''s question. Instead, he turned to Lu Yueru and said, "Lush, why don''t you go to the library with Jiang Xin this afternoon? I have something else to discuss."


    "Brother, where are you going?"


    Lu Feng said, "I want to go to the sect''s mission release office to take a look and see if there''s anything suitable for us to do."


    According to what the previous teacher said, we only have ten contribution points per month. That''s too little, and we definitely won''t be able to exchange it for many resources.


    Therefore, I want to complete a few missions as soon as possible and increase our wealth so that we can exchange it for the resources we need.


    "By the way, Jiang Xin, if there''s such a team mission, would you be willing to do it with us?"


    Lu Feng explained, not forgetting to ask for Jiang Xin''s opinion from the side.


    "I have no problem, just call me when the time comes."


    Jiang Xin answered quickly.


    As soon as he finished answering, Jiang Xin was filled with regret. She had answered so quickly, wasn''t she being a little too impatient?


    Jiang Xin blushed as she thought about it.


    With regards to Jiang Xin''s sudden blush, Lu Feng, who had been looking at him, was the first to notice it.


    At that moment, Lu Feng''s eyes lit up. He didn''t expect that underneath Jiang Xin''s dignified appearance, there would be such a charming side.


    Sensing Lu Feng''s gaze, Jiang Xin could not help but lower her head, as if she had suddenly become incomparably shy.


    Lu Feng''s eyes were also a little dazed.


    Just as the two of them were about to experience something, the surroundings suddenly quietened down. A few burly men appeared around the three of them.


    Sensing the change in his surroundings, Lu Feng lifted his eyes. Jiang Xin also sensed that something was amiss. She withdrew her position as a little girl and rushed to Lu Feng''s side, cautiously sizing up the few people surrounding her.


    Lu Feng''s eyes swept over them, and they couldn''t help but feel angry.


    There were a total of seven people in this group, and the one leading them was none other than Li Yunzhi, Young Master Li.


    Who would have thought that this fellow was actually a disciple of the Skystar Academy? Furthermore, like Lu Feng, he belonged to the same outer sect as him.


    While waving the fan in his hand, Li Yunzhi walked in front of Lu Feng in three strides. He first greedily glanced at the two girls before turning his gaze towards Lu Feng.


    "Kid, your name is Lu Feng, right?


    We meet again! "


    Li Yunzhi proudly said to Lu Feng.


    At this moment, noticing the unforeseen event, many outer sect disciples had surrounded them. Some of them were new to the sect, while others from the past, such as Mo Bufan and Lu Yi, were laughing and winking at him.


    "Is this kid new?" How did they offend an outer court little overlord like Li Yunzhi? "


    "You don''t know yet, do you? Three days ago, Li Yun''s follower Li Li heard that he was crippled in front of the mountain in the Heavenly Star Town. He heard that the one who took action was a new disciple.


    In my opinion, this Li Yunzhi is here for revenge. "


    "I can''t believe this kid has some skills. He could actually cripple Li Li. Is he an early Xiantian realm master?"


    "So what if you have some skills? Didn''t you see the person Li Yunzhi brought over this time? "Mu Rong Feng is coming with him. He''s an existence close to the top 100 of our outer sect. I think that this kid is going to have some bad luck this time."


    "Look, that brat sure is something. He dared to bring two little beauties into the market after just entering the sect. Isn''t he just causing trouble for himself?"


    "To be targeted by Li Yunzhi, these two beauties are truly unfortunate!"


    "Who says it isn''t? Sigh! It''s her life! "


    "¡­ ¡­"


    The disciples who had surrounded them, upon seeing the confrontation between the two parties, whispered to each other. In their words, they felt sympathy for Lu Feng and the others, but they were also displeased with Li Yunzhi. However, no one took the initiative to speak up for Lu Feng.


    "Kid, weren''t you very arrogant that day?


    What? You''re not going to speak today? "


    Li Yun said smugly to Lu Feng.


    "Young Master Li, this brat is probably scared silly."


    A new disciple has actually dared to offend the old disciple.


    A disciple beside Li Yunzhi said in a flattering manner.


    "Hahaha, well said!"


    Li Yunzhi laughed out loud as he glanced at that kid, then proudly said to Lu Feng, "Brat, if you''re sensible, then hand over the two beauties beside you obediently. I can even consider sparing you.


    "If you still don''t know how to appreciate favors, then you won''t have a good day."


    Facing Li Yunzhi''s repeated provocations, even a clay figure might not be able to endure it, much less someone with Lu Feng''s temper.


    "Li Yunzhi, I think you are tired of living!


    How about it?


    I heard that sects don''t allow private duels. Do you dare to sign a death contract with this young master?


    Lu Feng was even more arrogant than Li Yun.


    Suppressed by Lu Feng''s aura, Li Yunzhi was at a loss for words.


    Li Yunzhi had personally witnessed the methods that Lu Feng had used to cripple Li Li. Honestly speaking, he did not have the confidence to defeat Lu Feng in a one on one fight, much less sign on to the Life and Death Board.


    "Brat, you don''t have to be so stubborn. I''m afraid that you won''t even be able to cry when you cry!"


    Li Yunzhi fiercely glared at Lu Feng. His previous elegance had completely disappeared, and the fan in his hand folded over. He pointed at Lu Feng and said, "Kid, didn''t you say you want to go onto the stage?


    Good.


    Then we''ll have a match in the arena.


    However, if you lose, you have to wash the two girls by your side and send them to this young master''s bed.


    How about it? "Do you dare?"


    "Humph!"


    Lu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Li Yunzhi, do you have the guts to follow me into the arena?"


    "Lu Feng, to take care of a nameless newbie like you, of course you wouldn''t need me to do anything.


    It''s him you''re fighting. "


    Li Yunzhi pulled Murong Feng over and introduced him to Lu Feng, "Let me introduce him to you. He is an expert of the late stage of the Innate realm and is ranked 120 on the outer sect rankings.


    Lu Feng, your opponent is him.


    How about it? Are you scared?


    "Hahaha!"


    Li Yun laughed out loud in satisfaction.

 C68 Challenge Arena

    Hearing Li Yun''s words, the surrounding spectators burst into an uproar.


    Indeed, as expected, Li Yunzhi brought Murong Feng here because he wanted to use his strength to crush Lu Feng, so that he could take revenge for his first attack that day.


    Facing a new disciple of a sect, it was quite possible that Li Yunzhi would use such a vicious move.


    As a result, the surrounding people began to despise Li Yunzhi''s actions as they started to berate him.


    "Li Yunzhi, aren''t you too shameless?"


    "Yeah, to deal with a new disciple, you actually sent out an expert who''s about to enter the outer court. Li Yunzhi, can you be any more shameless?"


    "Newcomer, there''s no need to be afraid of him. We support you!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    "Shut the f * ck up. You dare to go against me, Li Yunzhi? You don''t want to be a part of this anymore, right?"


    The denouncement of the crowd caused Li Yunzhi to be embarrassed. He angrily turned his head and shouted.


    Unfortunately, facing the surging emotions of the crowd, Li Yunzhi had no other choice. He did not have the brain to go against so many people at the same time, so he could only vent all of his anger on Lu Feng.


    "Boy with the surname Lu, you were so arrogant just now. You don''t want to retreat now do you?"


    Forcefully suppressing his anger, Li Yun said to Lu Feng with a dark expression.


    "What do you say if you lose?"


    Lu Feng said indifferently. His face was expressionless as he stood there coldly.


    "Defeat?


    Boy, are you joking?


    Are you deaf or something?


    Murong Feng is an expert ranked 120 among all the outer sect disciples. You still want to defeat him?


    You''re not awake, are you? "


    Lu Feng''s words caused Li Yun to be stunned before he burst out into laughter. This kid, a trash who had just entered the sect, wanted to defeat Mu Rong Feng who was about to enter the top 100? He was dreaming!


    "Humph!"


    Li Yunzhi, your calculations are not bad!


    If you win, you get two little beauties, but if you lose, you don''t have to pay anything.


    Can you be any more shameless? "


    A soft and feminine voice sounded out. It was an eighteen or nineteen year old youth, wearing a long white robe. He walked out from the crowd and ridiculed Li Yunzhi without a trace of politeness in his voice.


    "It''s Zhao Fengnian?" He actually interfered? "


    A bystander immediately called out this youth''s name.


    "Damn!" Out of the four great bullies of the outer sect, two have come at once. This kid is really unlucky! "


    "That''s right, Li Yunzhi is unstoppable. This Zhao Fengnian is not a good guy!"


    "Why did Zhao Fengniang change his gender today?" You actually dare to act in a righteous manner? "


    "Just watch and see. The show has just begun."


    Everyone was confused about Zhao Fengniang''s appearance. Obviously, he wasn''t a good person either.


    Seeing Zhao FengNian''s appearance, Li Yunzhi''s face changed. Although he didn''t show any politeness on his face, he still said, "Zhao FengNian, this matter has nothing to do with you. You''d better not interfere!"


    The teenager, who was also Zhao FengNian, sneered and said, "Li Yunzhi, even if I have to control you, what can I do?


    Other people are afraid of you, Li Yunzhi, and your Li family, so I, Zhao Fengniang, am not afraid. "


    With that, Zhao FengNian turned around and walked up to Jiang Xin, saying, "Junior Sister, you don''t have to be afraid. For this kind of prodigal son, let Senior Brother handle him for you!


    Oh right, Junior Sister, I still don''t know how to address you, do you mind telling me your name? "


    As soon as she heard this, Jiang Xin''s good impression of Zhao Fengniang immediately vanished. In addition to the discussions around her, she understood that Zhao Fengniang was not a good person either.


    Jiang Xin moved closer to Lu Feng and completely ignored him.


    Zhao Fengniang didn''t feel rejected at all, he still wanted to move forward.


    "Zhao Fengniang, I thought you had modified it?" After so much commotion, they were still trying to get ahold of beauties?


    What, you want a hero to save the beauty?


    Unfortunately, they won''t give you the chance!


    "Hahaha!"


    Li Yunzhi laughed out loud as he saw Zhao Fengnian lose.


    "Is Li Yunzhi even going to compete with me?"


    Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengnian were having a flame war, and Lu Feng was getting impatient. He didn''t want to waste any more time and energy with these ants.


    The moment Lu Feng opened his mouth, Li Yunzhi remembered that he was here today to teach Lu Feng a lesson.


    "Kid, the one who doesn''t dare to compete is you, right?"


    Li Yun said to Lu Feng in a sinister voice.


    "Cut the crap. If you want this young master to enter the arena, that''s fine. Take out an equal bet. If you can''t take it out, then immediately scram for this young master!"


    Lu Feng bluntly said to Li Yunzhi. The last word, ''f * ck'', contained a sliver of divine sense that others couldn''t tell the difference. When Li Yun heard it, it was like a thunderclap that exploded in his ears, causing his ears to buzz.


    "That''s right, Li Yunzhi. If you can''t take out the wager, why are you still showing off?"


    How about this, I''ll give you 5000 contribution points, count me in. If you win, just give me a little beauty.


    "That kid, 10,000 contribution points should be enough to bet on you two beauties, right?"


    He was even more shameless than Li Yunzhi. Seeing that Jiang Xin was ignoring him, he actually decided to buy into Li Yunzhi''s stock and gamble with Lu Feng together.


    "Zhao Fengniang, don''t look for trouble. It''s only 10,000 contribution points. Can''t I, Li Yunzhi, take it out?"


    With great difficulty, Li Yunzhi had recovered a little bit. When he heard Zhao Fengnian''s words, he almost jumped up from the anger. He angrily shouted at Zhao Fengnian.


    The two of them began to act on stage, and Lu Feng did not stay idle either. He turned around and whispered into Jiang Xin''s ears, "Jiang Xin, can we discuss this bet with you?"


    When we win 10,000 contribution points, the three of us will split it equally. "


    Lu Feng was really interested in the 10,000 contribution points that Zhao Fengniang had called out. However, he had to discuss it with the lady first to use Jiang Xin as a wager, even though he was one hundred percent sure that he would win.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Jiang Xin was overjoyed. It seemed that he cared about her a lot.


    Originally, Jiang Xin was not happy that Lu Feng asked Li Yunzhi to put up a bet. Although she knew how powerful Lu Feng was and basically wouldn''t lose a fight, she was very unhappy. Now that Lu Feng had told her about this matter through consultation, she immediately dispelled her previous resentment and felt a sweet feeling.


    "Do you have any confidence in winning?"


    The meaning behind his words was very clear. As long as you can guarantee that you will win, then I don''t mind being used as a bargaining chip for once.


    "One hundred percent!" Lu Feng answered firmly.


    "Very well, you are in charge of this matter."


    However, I do not wish for another chance. "


    The reason why Jiang Xin agreed to Lu Feng''s request was partly because of the palpitation in her heart, but also because she really wanted to obtain contribution points.


    When he was researching the booklet yesterday, Jiang Xin had discovered the usefulness of contribution points. However, as long as the items were of a slightly higher grade, it would require hundreds of contribution points.

 C69 Murong Feng

    At this time, after a dispute, who knew what benefits Zhao Fengnian had promised Li Yunzhi. The two gangsters seemed to have reached an agreement and were looking at Lu Feng.


    In the eyes of Li Yunzhi and Zhao FengNian, Lu Feng and Jiang Xin were at the same age!


    This was a woman that two top young masters had their eyes on at the same time, how could she let a country bumpkin like Lu Feng get his hands on her?


    "Murong Feng, remember, don''t hold back when we get to the arena. It would be best if you pretend to be unable to hold back and cripple that brat!"


    Li Yunzhi''s eyes were about to spit fire. He gritted his teeth as he called for Murong Feng and commanded him in a low voice.


    Right, teach that bumpkin a lesson for me!


    If you can cripple that brat, I will personally give you 1000 contribution points. "


    Zhao Feng Nian also came close to Murong Feng and said with an unfriendly tone.


    Although it was his first time meeting Jiang Xin, Zhao FengNian seemed to fall in love with her at first sight. He kept reminding Jiang Xin, "This is the person you''re looking for. She''s yours. Hurry up and take her for yourself."


    Speaking of which, the two girls by Lu Feng''s side were truly bewitching. One of them was clearly of the ice attribute, but he liked to wear fire-red clothes all day, and his personality was even more cute and cute, without the slightest hint of the feeling of an icy beauty; the other was even more amazing.


    All in all, in short, they were a combination of two contradictions ¨C absolutely monstrous geniuses!


    However, Lu Feng had coincidentally met with the two of them, and had become the target of their wrath. He had targeted all of his resentment towards Lu Feng, and not into an internal conflict.


    Hearing Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengnian''s words, Murong Feng said with a bit of difficulty, "Young Master Li, we agreed on that earlier. We only helped you fulfill your wish and it won''t hurt your life.


    Now that you suddenly mentioned crippling someone''s cultivation, this is no different from killing them. I''m afraid that''s not appropriate, right? "


    It seemed that Mu Rong Feng wasn''t too bad. At the very least, he still had a bit of conscience. He just didn''t know why he was bribed by Li Yunzhi.


    Hearing Murong Feng''s words, Li Yun Zhi''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Murong Feng with displeasure and said, "Murong Feng, don''t forget. Besides my Li family''s Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill, there probably isn''t anyone in this Heavenly Star City who can treat your father''s injuries, right?


    Even if the sect can exchange for this kind of supreme dan, with your contribution points, can you afford it?


    Besides, we agreed that you would help me fulfill my wish.


    Right now, my wish is to obtain a beauty and at the same time, cripple that brat. Otherwise, it will be hard to quell the hatred in my heart!


    As for what you want to do, it''s all up to you! "


    As he said this, Zhao FengNian also understood why Li Yunzhi would ask Mu Rong Feng, the great god, to help him.


    One had to know that Mu Rong Feng was no fool, but a cultivation genius. He was ranked 120 among the numerous outer disciples of the Sky Star Academy.


    Generally, people like them were very proud and wouldn''t be easily threatened.


    Coincidentally, there was only one father in Murong Feng''s family. His name was Mu Rong Hai, and the two of them relied on each other for survival. Mu Rong Hai had set up a small security office to help people transport goods for a living.


    A few days ago, the Murong Escort Office accepted a business deal to escort a group of precious treasures to a small city under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Star Prefecture.


    Who would have thought that right when he was about to reach his destination, he would suddenly get robbed and killed. Although Mu Rong Hai was at the peak of the Xiantian realm, he couldn''t withstand the power of the thieves.


    When the escort team sent Mu Rong Hai back to Heavenly Star City, he was already on the verge of death.


    After Mu Rong Feng received the order, he hurriedly left the sect and returned home.


    However, as for Murong Hai''s injuries, although Murong Feng couldn''t be said to be completely helpless, his power was still limited. Even if he used up all of his contribution points and exchanged them for a high level healing pill from the sect, he could only barely keep Murong Hai alive.


    It wasn''t that Murong Feng didn''t want to cure his father, but even though he was known as one of the top hundred experts in the outer sect, he only had thirty contribution points a month. Even adding the rewards from completing missions, it was barely enough for him to cultivate.


    This time, in order to exchange for a high level pellet for his father, Murong Feng had almost lost everything. Within a short period of time, he really couldn''t exchange the contribution points for a pellet like the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill.


    Coincidentally, there was an elder in Li Yun''s Li family who doted extremely heavily on Li Yun, and he knew how to refine such a pill.


    Therefore, when Li Yunzhi came knocking and asked Murong Feng to help him deal with Lu Feng, Murong Feng agreed without the slightest hesitation.


    But now, when Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengniang joined hands, they actually brought up the request of crippling Lu Feng''s cultivation. That made it difficult for Murong Feng.


    Although he really wanted to save his father, Murong Feng didn''t want to easily take his life, especially a new disciple like Lu Feng.


    Those who were able to enter the Skystar Institution weren''t ordinary people. Mu Rong Feng really didn''t want to see a future master being destroyed by his own hands.


    That was why Murong Feng started to hesitate.


    However, Li Yunzhi''s words reminded Murong Feng that if he didn''t kill him, then he would lose the chance to save his father. He was his only family in this world.


    In the end, the affection he felt towards his father took the upper hand in Murong Feng''s heart. He pressed down that trace of guilt towards Lu Feng onto the bottom of his heart.


    Young man, for my father, I can pay any price! Now, I can only let you down!


    In his heart, Murong Feng secretly apologized to Lu Feng. The hesitation on his face disappeared, but it was replaced with determination.


    Seeing Murong Feng''s change, Li Yunzhi smiled. This was the way of the world. The strong preyed on the weak. Now that he had gained power of his own, even a proud and arrogant son of heaven like Murong Feng had to listen to me.


    "Murong Feng, that''s right. Compared to your father''s life, the boy on the other side is nothing?


    "Remember, as long as you fulfill my wish, I will definitely get you a Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill so that you can save your father''s life!"


    "That''s right. Murong Feng, what you need to do now is to go up onto the stage and teach that bumpkin a lesson. You need to cripple his cultivation and make him groan at your feet."


    If that''s the case, not only will you win honor, you will also be able to heal your father''s injuries.


    Zhao Fengniang was also trying to persuade Murong Feng.

 C70 Crushing Without Any Fancy Tricks

    "Young Master Li, Young Master Zhao, you don''t have to say anymore. I, Murong Feng, know what to do!"


    Mu Rong Feng looked resolutely towards Lu Feng.


    Only now did Li Yunzhi and Zhao FengNian relax.


    "Brat, we have reached an agreement here. I will bet 10,000 contribution points with this Young Master Zhao and bet with you."


    How about it? Dare, or not? "


    Li Yun shouted arrogantly towards Lu Feng, and the fan in his hand began to flicker about.


    "Humph!"


    Let''s fight!


    What can all of you rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs do?


    I''m just afraid that you won''t be able to afford it then? "


    Lu Feng snorted and said in disdain.


    After being humiliated repeatedly by Lu Feng, Li Yunzhi had become impatient. Now that he heard Lu Feng say this, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping and cursing: "You reckless fool, I think you are tired of living! When you get to the arena, there will be time for you to cry!"


    Zhao Fengniang also gloomily said, "Bastard, bragging is useless.


    Since you''ve agreed to the competition, let''s go to the arena now.


    "How about it? You wouldn''t be afraid, right?"


    Lu Feng said: "Against you, there is no reason for this young master to not dare!


    However, if you lose, what happens if you go back on your word? "


    "Hahaha!"


    Zhao Fengnian raised his head and laughed, "Brat, that''s why I said you''re a country bumpkin.


    Don''t you know that the elder in charge of the sect''s application for the ring also has to bear the responsibility of a notary?


    Don''t worry, it''s just 10,000 contribution points. Will we go back on our word?


    "Besides, do you have any chance of winning?"


    "That''s right, kid. I think you won''t cry until you see the coffin!"


    Let''s go to the arena! "


    Li Yunzhi said with a mocking expression.


    Immediately, the two groups of people started walking towards the martial ring.


    Seeing that the two sides had reached an agreement, Lu Feng, this newborn calf, actually dared to agree to such an obviously unfair competition request. All of them followed one after the other. However, there were those who were sighing, and there were those who were gloating.


    After arriving at the martial arena, Li Yunzhi took the lead and went to the elder in charge of managing the arena.


    The Skystar Institution had always maintained an open-minded attitude towards the disciples'' use of the arena. Sometimes, sects would even support a sparring competition to a certain extent.


    Thus, the management elder readily agreed to Li Yunzhi''s request.


    After Li Yunzhi received his subordinate''s report, he proudly nodded at Lu Feng and said, "Let''s go, kid!"


    He then walked towards the elder.


    Seeing the group of people walking over, the management elders were quite curious, especially the two distinct camps. One glance was enough to tell them that Lu Feng and co. were at a disadvantage.


    After a group of people came rushing over, Lu Feng and Murong Feng stood in front and made an application to the management elder at the same time.


    The management elder took out a copy of the competition document that he had prepared earlier. He got Lu Feng and Murong Feng to sign it.


    After completing the procedures, the management elder took out two more documents. Lu Feng took a look and saw that it was the ''Gambling Agreement''. He didn''t expect that the Heavenly Star Academy had prepared such a document in advance.


    After signing all the documents, the management elder stretched out his hand and said to Murong Feng, "Hand over your bet first. After the competition is over, I will hand it all to the winner."


    Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengniang hurriedly stepped forward. They took out their identity cards and said to the management elders, "Elder, the wager will be paid by us. Please transfer 5000 contribution points from our identity cards."


    With this, the management elder finally understood that these two tyrants of the sect had come from far away and had joined hands to bully newcomers.


    Regarding this, although the management elder did not like Li Zhao and Wang Chao''s shameless behavior, he still happily took over the identity card and transferred 5000 contribution points each to a notary account. After the winner was decided, the winner would then take over.


    After that, the management elder said to Lu Yueru and Jiang Xin, "The two female disciples, you two are part of the bet, so you are not allowed to leave until the competition is over.


    If you force yourselves to leave, this elder will give you appropriate punishments on behalf of the sect.


    Do you understand? "


    Since Jiang Xin and Lu Lore had agreed to let Lu Feng use them as the wager, they had already made up their minds long ago. They wanted to earn some contribution points for themselves. How could they leave in advance?


    After receiving the confirmation from the two girls, the management elder announced loudly, "The bet between the outer sect disciple Mu Rong Feng and Lu Feng has been officially established.


    "Now, please allow Murong Feng and Lu Feng to ascend the arena. The competition will begin in an incense stick of time!"


    Under the lead of the management elder, everyone came to the front of the stage and watched as Lu Feng and Mu Rong Feng ascended onto the stage one after another.


    For Murong Feng, this was the first time Lu Feng seriously sized him up.


    This man was indeed extraordinary. He was about twenty years old, tall and slender, with a face like a plum and lips like that of a real man.


    Moreover, from Murong Feng''s face, Lu Feng could see the anxiety on his face. It seemed that he had encountered some trouble.


    However, Lu Feng was still very angry at Mu Rong Feng for being his accomplice. No matter what, he still had to have some form of righteousness.


    Although there was a trace of pity in Murong Feng''s eyes for Lu Feng, it was quickly replaced by resolution. For his father, Murong Feng had convinced himself that he had to go all out.


    When the management elder announced the start of the battle, Murong Feng rushed towards Lu Feng. Like a butterfly, he circled around Lu Feng and unleashed a dazzling and infuriating attack. This was the masterpiece of Murong Feng ¡ª Falling Leaf Hand.


    This was a martial skill known for its high speed attacks and belonged to the upper Huang class. When used by a late Xiantian realm master like Murong Feng, the power was extraordinary.


    However, in the face of such concentrated attacks, Lu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, dodging as he pleased, dodging every single one of Murong Feng''s attacks.


    After the two sides quickly exchanged dozens of moves, the audience was somewhat unwilling to accept this and began to clamor loudly.


    For the past half day, seeing Murong Feng''s extravagant attacks, Lu Feng did not make a move. He only flashed back and forth. Although he was very relaxed, the observers still felt their blood boiling.


    "Murong Feng, you are not this young master''s match.


    This young master will give you some face, go away! "


    Lu Feng''s indifferent voice rang in Murong Feng''s ears, but it only added to his anger. The helplessness he had towards treating his father''s injuries and being forced to work for others gradually turned into anger towards Lu Feng. His attacks became faster and his moves became more ruthless.


    Towards Murong Feng''s sudden madness, Lu Feng felt a bit helpless. Originally, he wanted to save some face for him because he saw that he was a talent. Who would have thought that he would not appreciate his friend''s kindness?


    "Sigh!" "A beauty, yet a thief!"


    Lu Feng let out a faint sigh. His hands, which were originally clasped behind his back, suddenly appeared in front of him. With a lightning speed, he separated Murong Feng''s hands and struck them against his chest.

 C71 Complete Victory

    ''Bang! ''A loud sound was heard as Murong Feng, who had been attacking with all his might, was pushed back. He had already been hit by Lu Feng''s palm.


    "I never thought that this new disciple would actually have such a powerful strength!"


    "That''s right, no matter what, Murong Feng is still one of the top outer sect disciples. His Falling Leaf Hand has reached the acme of perfection. I didn''t expect him to be able to dodge all of his attacks without even fighting back!"


    "This Lu Feng is really unlucky. Isn''t this equivalent to picking up 10,000 contribution points for free?"


    "No wonder he dared to bet these two beauties. He definitely has the confidence to win from far away!"


    "Say, during the induction ceremony, wasn''t this Lu Feng the one who crippled the arms of his fellow sect members?"


    "I don''t think there''s any difference!"


    "It''s most likely him!"


    "I heard Li Yunzhi''s number one fighter, Li Li, was severely injured recently. Could it be that it was this kid who did this?"


    "Tell me, could it be that Murong Feng went easy on him?"


    "I don''t think so. From the looks of it, it seems like Murong Feng had a request from Li Yunzhi. That''s why he willingly became Li Yunzhi''s lackey!"


    "That''s right, I heard that a huge change happened in the escort company of the Mu Rong family. Not only did they lose a large amount of goods, they also accompanied their owner with a large amount of primeval stones. His father, Mu Rong Hai, was also heavily injured."


    "Now that you put it this way, I remember that Li Yunzhi''s uncle had the method to concoct the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill. Could it be that Li Yunzhi took the life-saving elixir to lure Mu Rong Feng into using it?"


    "Murong Feng is obsessed with cultivation. I''ve never heard of any evil deeds."


    "Seems like it, this Murong Feng is really pitiful!"


    "Maybe this guy called Lu Feng is too abnormal. He has just entered the sect, yet he''s already able to suppress the one hundred and twentieth place, Murong Feng. He''s really scary!"


    "¡­ ¡­"


    On the stage, after being pushed back by Lu Feng, Mu Rong Feng''s eyes returned to their original clarity. The craziness from before had completely disappeared.


    However, the look in Murong Feng''s eyes when he looked at Lu Feng was even more resolute. He knew that only by defeating Lu Feng would he be able to gain the opportunity to save his father. For this, he would spare no cost.


    "Lu Feng, you are very strong, but I have a reason to fight!"


    With that, Murong Feng started to channel all of his true essence. It was obvious that he wanted to use a martial skill to fight with Lu Feng.


    "Oh? No choice but to fight?


    is it to get the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill to treat your father? "


    Lu Feng asked indifferently.


    "How do you know?"


    Although Murong Feng was confused, he didn''t stop what he was doing.


    "There are many people below the stage discussing this matter. It doesn''t seem to be a secret anymore!"


    Lu Feng innocently shrugged his shoulders.


    "You!"


    Mu Rong Feng''s anger towards Lu Feng grew even stronger. This guy obviously looked down on him, but at the same time, he was still in the mood to care about the people below the stage. There was no one that could humiliate him like this.


    No, that''s not right. Other than repelling him with a single strike, he had been dodging the attacks for the rest of his time.


    The absolute art that he had been relying on to become famous seemed to be nothing in his eyes.


    "Murong Feng, perhaps someone might be able to cure your father''s injuries."


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    However, to Murong Feng, Lu Feng''s words were full of sarcasm.


    "First Style of the Three Style of the Gale Style, Autumn Wind Sweeping the Fallen Leaves!"


    Murong Feng suddenly shouted. As he revolved his true essence, a strong gust of wind appeared, enveloping Murong Feng within. It continuously spun and expanded, giving off the feeling that the world had changed color.


    "Wind attribute martial skill?"


    "Interesting!"


    Lu Feng''s lips curved up into a smile as he watched Mu Rong Feng execute this powerful Martial Technique with great interest.


    Compared to what Lu Feng had seen before, Mo Wuxie''s Piercing Wind Thrust, and Li Li''s Heart-Piercing Palm, Murong Feng''s martial skill was undoubtedly much more powerful.


    Lu Feng could also clearly sense that within that whirlwind, there was an overwhelming amount of power contained within.


    "Go!"


    He knew that he was about to reach his limit, so he gave up on pouring more primeval essence into it. With a roar, he pushed his palms forward with all his might, controlling the huge whirlwind ball as he quickly charged towards Lu Feng.


    "Your methods are not bad!"


    It''s a pity that you''re facing this young master! "


    Facing the rapidly approaching Whirlwind Ball, Lu Feng sighed to himself.


    Meanwhile, the minds of everyone below the stage had long since been stunned by this grand move. Each and every one of them opened their mouths wide as they looked at the two people on the stage in disbelief. Was this the true strength of the one hundred twentieth ranked outer sect disciple? Too strong!


    It was too late. It was too soon!


    The huge cyclone ball arrived in front of Lu Feng in the blink of an eye, and was about to devour him.


    Lu Haoran cried out in surprise. Then, she thought of something and quickly covered her mouth with her sleeve, forcing herself not to make any sound. It was obvious that she was afraid of disturbing Lu Feng, who was facing his enemy.


    Jiang Xin, on the other hand, looked at Lu Feng with a worried expression.


    Deep down, however, Jiang Xin would never believe that Lu Feng was going to lose.


    In her opinion, Lu Feng definitely had other tricks up his sleeve!


    When the Whirlwind Ball was in front of Lu Feng, the onlookers could see Lu Feng''s long hair dancing in the wind. The next moment, it would be the scene of Lu Feng being swallowed up!


    "Freeze!"


    A faint voice resounded in everyone''s ears.


    That huge cyclone ball suddenly stopped in front of Lufeng. It was only a hair''s breadth away from Lufeng''s nose, yet it stopped just like that!


    Without a sound, the Whirlwind Ball suddenly began to disperse.


    "Hua!"


    The crowd below the stage only felt a sudden gust of wind pass by, filling their vision with dust and nothing could be seen.


    Only after a while did everyone return to their senses and looked up at the stage.


    Lu Feng was still standing there calmly, not a single injury on his body.


    On the other hand, it was as if Murong Feng''s entire body had been fished out of water. His clothes were drenched with sweat and his hands were uncontrollably trembling.


    Regarding the sudden halt and collapse of the Whirlwind Ball, Murong Feng and the onlookers below were all puzzled.


    However, what they didn''t notice was that right when the Whirlwind Ball was about to devour Lu Feng, he shouted out the word "freeze" and a dark yellow ancient bell the size of a fist flashed by Lu Feng''s sleeve.


    Indeed, facing the powerful Whirlwind Ball, Lu Feng used the Chaos Bell for the first time since his rebirth.


    In the past, after Pangu established Heaven, the Eastern Emperor held the Primal Chaos Bell in his hand and froze the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind in order to distinguish between Yin and Yang.


    Although the Primal Chaos Bell had yet to fully recover, the small Whirlwind Ball was still unable to resist the tyrannical ''fix'' character.


    The scene fell into silence.


    Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Murong Feng has lost his ability to fight again. In this fight, the final result is victory for Lu Feng!"


    The management elder announced the result loudly.

 C72 The Helpless Murong Feng

    Below the stage, Li Yunzhi, Zhao FengNian, and the others all had an unreal feeling. How could such a strong Whirlwind Ball completely vanish without even a splash in front of Lu Feng?


    Could it be that Lu Feng had already grasped the power of law? With that, he was able to retreat to the Whirlwind Ball in front of him?


    But this was nonsense!


    In the entire Tian Yuan Continent, the legend that there was the power of laws was passed down. It was unheard-of for any expert to truly grasp such an unfathomable power.


    Looking at Lu Feng, although he was about 17 years old, although he couldn''t see the exact cultivation level, he didn''t seem like a person who grasped the power of law. Otherwise, he would have become a well-known genius in the entire continent, how could he still be like this, no one had ever heard of Lu Feng before.


    Furthermore, looking at Murong Feng''s situation, he was almost completely exhausted. This was the phenomenon of a massive consumption of primeval essence, and coupled with his father''s injuries, there was no reason for him to go easy on Lu Feng.


    At this moment, both Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengnian felt as if their jaws were about to shatter. This Lu Feng was too mysterious.


    This really was stealing chickens without eating rice, it was equivalent to giving Lu Feng 10,000 contribution points. Although they were both descendants of influential families and had powerful families, the status of the Heavenly Star Academy was even higher than the few major families in Heavenly Star City, second only to the Manor Lord. That contribution point was not something that could be casually given to others.


    Even though Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengniang had generously given away 5000 contribution points just now, in reality, that was almost all of their contribution points. And this was something that they had seized from disciples of other sects through private means.


    Now that all the benefits were given to Lu Feng, what benefits did he not get?


    At this time, both Li Yunzhi and Zhao FengNian felt a bit regretful.


    Especially since Lu Feng was so powerful and mysterious, offending such an expert was not good for them.


    Since the battle was over, there was no need for Lu Feng to continue staying on stage for the people to comment on their performance.


    Slowly walking down from the arena, Lu Feng arrived in front of the management elder and said a few modest words. That management elder did not make things difficult for Lu Feng and took out the notary card just now. He injected 10,000 contribution points into Lu Feng''s card and left the arena, returning to his own office.


    As for Lu Feng, he waved the identity card in his hand towards Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengnian''s group and said in a clear voice, "Next time, if you find contribution points that you can''t spend, please send more!


    "Hahaha!"


    Amidst Lu Feng''s loud laughter, Jiang Xin and Lu Yueru walked over to him. Without even looking at Li Yunzhi or Zhao Fengniang, they walked beside him towards his courtyard.


    Looking at Lu Feng''s arrogant and complacent look, Zhao FengNian angrily shouted at Li Yunzhi, "Li Yunzhi, didn''t you just say that this kid is definitely not a match for Murong Feng?


    "How do you explain it now?"


    Li Yunzhi wasn''t a good-natured person. After losing such a large amount of contribution points, he was also furious. How could he be in a good mood? This move from Zhao Fengnian had ignited Li Yunzhi''s anger.


    "Zhao Feng Nian, what explanation do I need for you?"


    "You!"


    Zhao Fengniang felt angry, but he was not willing to lose. He shouted angrily, "Li Yunzhi, you owe me contribution points!"


    "Ha ha!"


    Li Yun Zhi closed his fan and looked at Zhao Feng Nian with an ominous glint in his eyes: "You want to compensate me with contribution points?


    Zhao Feng Nian, how old are you?


    You don''t think it''s shameful to say such words?


    Did I invite you to participate in the gambling house?


    Aren''t you trying to get yourself involved?


    Oh, now that I''ve lost, you''re asking me for contribution points?


    "Zhao Feng Nian, you''re really childish. Go home and drink your mother''s milk!"


    "You!"


    Zhao Feng Nian was completely speechless.


    Speaking of which, this was indeed Zhao Fengnian asking for it himself. It was originally about Li Yunzhi and Lu Feng, and it had nothing to do with him, Young Master Zhao.


    It was because he was interested in his own appearance and wanted to get a share of the spoils that he finally convinced Li Yunzhi to join him.


    Now that he had lost, he really had no reason to find trouble with Li Yunzhi. Although Li Yunzhi had said everything he had said, he believed that Murong Feng only defeated Lu Feng because he was confident in himself.


    "Fine, Li Yunzhi, just you wait!"


    Zhao Fengnian''s face turned pale for a while. He kept changing his facial expressions several times. In the end, he snorted and angrily flung his sleeves and left.


    At this time, Murong Feng, who was on the stage, finally recovered some of his strength. He forced himself down the stage and walked up to Li Yun with a face full of shame: "Young Master Li, I''m sorry, I''m not Lu Feng''s opponent. I have something to rely on!"


    "Sigh!"


    Mu Rong Feng, you are a late stage Xiantian master, and you are ranked 120th in the outer sect. You are not that kid''s match.


    I couldn''t say anything about it.


    Only, please forgive me for being unable to help you with your matters.


    "Young ones, let''s go!"


    Li Yunzhi spoke a bit, but he didn''t vent his anger on Murong Feng. Instead, his words were filled with anger towards the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill that he had promised Murong Feng previously.


    Hearing this, Murong Feng became anxious. He risked his life just for this Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill. Even though he couldn''t win, he could still pay a price.


    "Young Master Li, I beg of you, my Mu Rong family can pay some other price. Young Master Li, please help persuade Great Elder Li to help my father refine a pill."


    For a proud son of the heavens like Murong Feng, to be able to say the word "beg" meant a lot to him.


    To put it bluntly, for the sake of his father''s injury, Mu Rong Feng didn''t care about his reputation anymore.


    Li Yunzhi did not continue to act arrogantly or arrogantly. Instead, he said to Murong Feng with a troubled expression, "Murong Feng, it''s not that I don''t want to help you, but you didn''t fulfill our agreement. Even if I wanted to help you, I couldn''t find a reason to help you.


    Regarding the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill, my uncle can indeed refine it, but the success rate is not high.


    If you win today, I can use you to help me win two beauties as an excuse to beg my uncle for help in refining pills.


    But right now, I really can''t say it.


    You also know that the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill is incomparably precious, and I''m not the number one successor to the Li Clan, so I really can''t ask for it for you. "


    Li Yun''s words were very clear. It''s not that I don''t want to help you, it''s just that I have the heart but I can''t.


    Mu Rong Feng sat powerlessly on the ground. His mind was filled with memories of his father lying on the bed waiting to die. The scenes of him and his father dying together had appeared before his eyes.


    For a moment, Murong Feng felt a sense of despair.


    As for Li Yunzhi, he shook his head when he saw how lost Murong Feng was. Then, he left with his henchmen.

 C73 Surprise

    Looking at the Murong Feng on the ground, the crowd felt some sympathy for him. However, they were just ordinary disciples. Even though they wanted to help, they couldn''t. They could only sigh and leave the ring.


    Not long after, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Murong Feng who was powerlessly sitting on the ground.


    After a while, Murong Feng, who was on the ground, finally woke up from the guilt he felt for his father.


    Looking around the empty arena, Murong Feng got up from the ground and staggered back to his own residence.


    Right now, the problem in front of Mu Rong Feng was nothing but finding a way to save his father.


    However, Murong Feng''s current condition wasn''t that good. His fight with Lu Feng had exhausted all of his true essence and had almost caused the Whirlwind Ball to devour him.


    However, after losing all his strength, Murong Feng still hadn''t recovered the true essence in his body. This had already left a hidden danger for him. If he didn''t fill up his dantian in time, it could cause his cultivation to regress.


    Therefore, once Murong Feng returned to his residence, he took out his few low-grade Source Stones and sat on the ground. He started circulating the cultivation technique he was cultivating and started replenishing his Dantian that was almost dried up.


    After cultivating for 36 cycles, Murong Feng had almost recovered half of his previous reserves of true essence. He had completely eliminated the hidden danger of being demoted, and now he stood up from the ground.


    After sensing the situation in his body, even though Murong Feng knew that he wasn''t at his peak state yet, he didn''t have the mood to continue cultivating. His father was still unconscious at home, waiting for him to think of a way to cure him.


    After he rummaged through all the boxes, Murong Feng leaned against the wall helplessly.


    After searching every corner of the dorm, all of Murong Feng''s wealth added up together was only a Mysterious rank long sword, dozens of low rank Source Stones, and the almost exhausted contribution points in his identity card.


    Mu Rong Feng knew that it was wishful thinking to exchange such a small amount of pills for enough pills to save his father.


    However, since Mu Rong Hai had lost the goods, the Mu Rong family could not compensate the owner of the goods.


    "No, I must save father!"


    He stood up, opened the door and walked out.


    "¡­ ¡­"


    The afternoon passed quickly, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.


    Mu Rong Feng appeared outside a small alley in the Heavenly Star City.


    That afternoon, Mu Rong Feng had visited almost all of Mu Rong Hai''s old acquaintances for one reason: to borrow money to buy the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill.


    However, Murong Feng was disappointed.


    Those who were friends with Mu Rong Hai before, when faced with Mu Rong Feng who begged for help, they would say that they were powerless; those who had a bad temper, before he could finish his sentence, they would turn their faces and chase Mu Rong Feng out; there were even those who didn''t just drive him away, they would even say malicious words and curse Murong Hai.


    It could be said that in just a short afternoon, Murong Feng had experienced almost all of the human nature. He was truly a person with a cold and warm heart.


    At this moment, Murong Feng couldn''t bring up his hatred towards Lu Feng anymore. He didn''t have any obligation to lose to him and couldn''t be manipulated by him. He could only blame himself for not being able to match up to him in everything.


    It was the same with Li Yunzhi. If he hadn''t fulfilled the agreement, he wouldn''t have the right to make such a request. It was reasonable that Li Yunzhi wouldn''t help.


    Moreover, Li Yunzhi was not a benevolent person.


    Arriving at the entrance of a small courtyard, Murong Feng felt as if his legs were filled with lead; he could barely lift them up.


    This was his home. Inside, his father was lying on his bed, waiting for his useless son to save him.


    Even though the door to the courtyard was right in front of him, Murong Feng didn''t have the courage to push it open. He was afraid. Afraid that he would face his dying father with such an old face.


    "Has Feng Er returned?"


    Suddenly, a weak but firm voice rang out in the courtyard.


    Mu Rong Feng was shocked, this was clearly his father''s voice.


    However, his father was lying on the bed and was close to death''s door, so why would he suddenly speak?


    Shaking his head, Murong Feng felt that he must have received a huge blow today. It must have been a hallucination.


    At this time, the clear sound of a person walking could be heard in the yard. Although it was very slow and light, it was definitely the footsteps of a person. As a late Xiantian realm master, Murong Feng was confident that he would not miss this point.


    Not good!


    Murong Feng was surprised and he didn''t care about anything else. He hurriedly pushed open the door, but he was still frozen in place. He even forgot to put down his right foot.


    After a while, Murong Feng asked with a trembling voice, "Father, why did you get up?"


    That''s right. The voice that Murong Feng had just heard was indeed that of his father. It was just that he didn''t dare to believe it.


    As for Mu Rong Hai, he was leaning on a walking stick as he walked unsteadily towards the door. It was obvious that he wanted to go out and check out the situation.


    "Feng Er, did you really come back?"


    "Come in!"


    Seeing Mu Rong Feng''s familiar face when he opened the door, Mu Rong Hai shouted out with a face full of surprise. He wanted to increase his speed.


    Unfortunately, Mu Rong Hai didn''t seem to be able to handle it. He wanted to increase his speed, but his feet tripped and he was about to fall to the ground.


    "Father!"


    Mu Rong Feng shouted out loudly. He hurriedly moved his body and appeared beside Mu Rong Hai, helping him up.


    "Dad, are your injuries alright?"


    Mu Rong Feng finally reacted to his father''s sudden appearance and asked with a surprised expression.


    "That''s enough, this time father has met someone important!"


    Mu Rong Hai said as he pulled Mu Rong Feng inside the house.


    After entering the main house, Mu Rong Feng helped Mu Rong Hai sit down. He stood at the side and looked at his father with a surprised expression.


    To Mu Rong Feng, this was a sight to behold. He had been thinking about how to save his father, but he didn''t expect that his father''s injuries would be almost healed.


    "Dad, it is fortunate that your injuries have recovered. We will be able to get what we lost back in the future. It will be fine as long as he is fine!"


    Looking at Mu Rong Hai who was sitting there, Mu Rong Feng hurriedly comforted him as he seemed to be looking at the empty living room.


    "Feng Er, how can father not know of this logic?"


    However, this time, father was able to escape from a calamity.


    Mu Rong Hai said with a sigh.


    After hearing his father mention someone important for the second time, Murong Feng was also confused.


    Besides, Mu Rong Hai was lying on his bed waiting for death to come. Now that he could walk on the floor, this matter was quite strange.


    "Oh right, Father, I have yet to ask you. How did your injuries improve?


    For a wound as heavy as yours, don''t you need a high grade pellet like the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill to heal it? "


    Mu Rong Feng asked with a puzzled expression.

 C74 Shame

    Hearing Mu Rong Feng''s question, Mu Rong Hai sighed and said, "Feng Er, this is the credit that I told you about."


    "Noble person?


    Father, what exactly is going on? "


    Mu Rong Feng became even more suspicious. Could it be that someone came to his home and healed his father while he was away?


    Mu Rong Hai took a sip of the cold tea on the table and said, "Feng Er, this is what happened.


    Even though father was severely injured, he had not lost all of his consciousness. It was just that the meridians in his body were broken, his dantian was destroyed, and in addition to the injuries in his body, he was unable to get up.


    You should know that unless you find a high level pellet like the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill and reconstruct the dantian and meridians, your father won''t be able to absorb the medicinal energy from the healing pills and can only wait for death.


    Father also knows about our family''s situation. In order to treat Father''s injuries, you went to all sorts of places to beg for help.


    This afternoon, Daddy woke up for a while.


    Just as his father was lying on his bed, feeling dejected, the door suddenly opened and someone walked in.


    Father originally thought that you would come, so he didn''t pay much attention to it.


    However, when the person pushed open his bedroom door, his father realized that he was wrong.


    It was an unfamiliar young man with a little girl in red clothes following behind him.


    After that person entered the room, he asked his father, ''Are you Murong Feng''s father, Mu Rong Hai?''


    Father thought he was your friend, so he nodded to him.


    That person continued, "I heard that you were severely injured, and that you can''t be cured unless you use the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill.


    However, this young master knows a bit about the Dao of alchemy and feels that it''s a bit untrustworthy, so he came over to take a look. I hope you won''t blame this young master for his rudeness. ''


    Father had some doubts regarding this young man''s words, so he forced himself to ask him, "Sir, are you friends with my family''s Feng Er?"


    That person did not reply. Instead, he arrived in front of his father and extended his hand to grab his father''s wrist. He began to show his father his injuries.


    At that time, his father''s body was too weak, and he could not react in time. That person had completed all of those actions.


    After checking for a while, the man said, "Although your injuries are serious, it is not impossible to refine the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill. I have a pill that can help you replenish your meridians and rebuild your dantian, but it is not as effective as the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill. You may need a long time to recover in the future.


    ''Now, I entrust this young master''s choice to you. Whether you continue to wait for your son to find you the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill or take this young master''s pill to slowly recover will all depend on you.''


    Feng''er, you also know that although the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill is a very famous pill, its true function is just as that person described.


    At that time, Father was thinking, the reason for this person''s visit was definitely because he is a friend and not an enemy.


    Thus, his father agreed to that person''s suggestion and directly accepted his treatment, not waiting for the illusory Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill.


    The man then took out an unremarkable pill and placed it in his father''s mouth. He even helped his father get up from the bed and circulated his energy to help his father dissolve the pill.


    However, the medicinal effects of the pill were extremely domineering. It didn''t last long before Father fainted.


    When he woke up again, the sky was already dark outside, and the two people had already disappeared.


    At first, he suspected that he was dreaming. However, when he checked his injuries, he suddenly found that his dantian had regained its senses and all the meridians in his body had been reconnected. It was just that they were still weak.


    And then Dad found this by the bed. "


    After saying that, Mu Rong Hai handed a delicate porcelain bottle and a slip of paper to Mu Rong Feng. He then continued, "After that, father tries to get up from the bed and go to the main house.


    Just a moment ago, when Father heard a sound coming from outside the courtyard, he had already probed out a question. Since you didn''t answer, he wanted to go out and take a look. "


    After listening to his father''s story, Murong Feng picked up the piece of paper and started reading.


    The slip of paper was very small. There was a line of words written on it: Small Revitalizing Pellet. One in three days. It will heal in a month.


    He opened the bottle and took a look. There were exactly ten Longan sized pills inside that were emitting a faint fragrance. It was obviously the Small Revitalizing Pellet mentioned in the note.


    After putting away the bottle, Mu Rong Feng said to Mu Rong Hai, "Father, did that person say his name was?"


    Mu Rong Hai shook his head regretfully and said, "Feng Er, that person didn''t even give father a chance to speak. After that, father fainted, so I didn''t have time to ask for his name."


    "Then what does he look like?"


    Murong Feng asked in disappointment.


    Mu Rong Hai carefully thought back and said, "I''m not very tall, about 16 or 17 years old. I''m quite handsome, but my expression is a bit cold. It''s not that kind of cold. It''s like I don''t like the kind of cold air that comes from being arrogant.


    Right, he''s wearing a blue gown. "


    Hearing Mu Rong Hai''s description, Mu Rong Feng frowned. He still couldn''t remember who it was.


    However, that person was obviously using his name. It must be someone he knew.


    "Oh right, dad, didn''t another girl come with him?"


    Mu Rong Feng suddenly remembered what Mu Rong Hai had said earlier. It was a man and a woman.


    "Yes, there''s another young lady. She is very cute and also very beautiful. She is wearing a red outfit."


    Mu Rong Hai said.


    This time, Murong Feng finally understood. If his guess was correct, then the person who came should be Lu Feng and the woman in red beside him. As for why the woman in white didn''t come, he didn''t know.


    "So, what he said in the arena wasn''t mocking me!"


    Mu Rong Feng thought about what Lu Feng had said back in the arena: ''Even if someone can cure father''s injuries, it isn''t certain.


    Now it seemed that he was doing it out of good intentions.


    As for him, not only did he ignore the other person''s intentions, he even wholeheartedly wanted to cripple him and fulfill Li Yun''s wish in exchange for the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill for his father.


    Even after he had been defeated, Lu Feng had disregarded the past and had personally come to save his father.


    This kindness, and then comparing it with his own actions, filled Murong Feng''s heart with shame.


    Looking at the probing gaze of Mu Rong Hai, Mu Rong Feng bit the bullet and said, "Dad, I know who it is now. I will thank him well."


    However, Mu Rong Hai''s face became serious and he said, "Feng Er, father''s life was saved by him. He is the great benefactor of our Mu Rong family.


    Although we are the only two left in the Mu Rong family, we can''t help but repay this debt of gratitude.


    Even if father is going to live for a hundred years in the future, you have to fulfill this wish for father.


    "From now on, if anyone requests anything, our Mu Rong family will not refuse even if we have to go through fire and water!"

 C75 Heavenly Star Academys Number One Beauty

    Mu Rong Feng was right. The one who saved Mu Rong Hai was Lu Feng himself.


    When they left the arena and returned to Lu Feng''s courtyard, the three of them happily came to split the loot.


    According to Lu Feng''s intentions, they were going to split the 10,000 contribution points evenly between the three of them. However, Jiang Xin had suggested that although she and Lu Haoran could be considered to have participated in this gamble, they had only acted as props. All that had contributed was Lu Feng.


    All of her cultivation resources were taken care of by Lu Feng. It was useless for her to obtain these contribution points, so she decided to leave them in Lu Feng''s hands for now. She would let Lu Feng help her exchange for whatever she wanted in the future.


    Just like that, other than Jiang Xin, who took away 3,000 contribution points, the remaining 7,000 contribution points were all on Lu Feng''s identity card.


    After sending Jiang Xin off, Lu Feng thought about Mu Rong Feng''s father''s injuries. He was also curious about the legendary Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill, so he brought Lu Lushui into Heavenly Star City.


    After arriving at the Heavenly Star City, he asked around and easily found the Mu Rong family''s courtyard.


    Perhaps others would think that Mu Rong Hai''s injuries were quite troublesome, but in Lu Feng''s eyes, it was nothing.


    Moreover, Lu Feng now knew the effect of the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill. It was just an enhanced version of the Regeneration Pill that could help a person reconstruct their dantian and restore their broken meridians.


    This time, Lu Feng finally understood that this Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill was merely for its reputation. It had nothing to do with Old Lord Taishang, and its usage was far worse than Old Lord''s Nine Reincarnation Soul Gold Pill.


    In Lu Feng''s previous life, Demon Soldiers that were cannon fodder would often be injured like this. At that time, the army would often concoct a low-grade pill called the Good Fortune Pill, which was specifically designed for this purpose.


    Therefore, Lu Feng didn''t waste any time. He rummaged through his Trinity Cauldron, looking for a few ingredients, and concocted a Good Fortune Pill on the spot. Then, he went to the Mu Rong family and saw the heavily injured and bedridden Mu Rong Hai.


    At that time, Lu Feng said that this pill might not be as effective as the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill, but in reality, it was the opposite. This was also because Lu Feng had never seen the infamous Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill before, so he did not know about its effects.


    After curing Mu Rong Hai, Lu Feng left the Mu Rong family with Lu Rui.


    The reason why Lu Feng took the initiative to save Mu Rong Hai was because of his filial piety, so he didn''t want to receive any rewards.


    After leaving the Mu Rong family, it was almost dark. Lu Feng brought Lu Yueru along with him as the two of them strolled out of Heavenly Star City and returned to the Heavenly Star Academy.


    The night passed in silence.


    The next morning, Jiang Xin came over to call Lu Lushui over for class. Lu Feng, on the other hand, was not interested in listening to the chatter of the teachers. He headed towards the sect''s mission distribution center alone.


    Although Lu Feng had won Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengnian seven thousand contribution points yesterday, he understood that he had to find a way to earn contribution points as soon as possible. It would be best if he could search for some materials for a mission, so that he could leave the sect for the time being.


    Following the directions on the map, Lu Feng walked forward while casually sizing up the various structures in the Skystar Academy.


    Looking at the passing sect disciples, Lu Feng sighed with emotion. In this lifetime, grass, trees, and even autumn, one could only feel their way around the world.


    Arriving at the mission board, Lu Feng casually browsed through the quests.


    The missions here could be said to be varied and varied. There were all kinds of missions, but the majority of them were missions looking for various types of heaven and earth treasures. The bounties were also different.


    Lu Feng gave a rough look. The number one core elder in the Heavenly Star Academy had a bounty of 5000 contribution points for the mission of finding the 10,000 Year Purple Grass.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng saw a message: Search for the Infant Soul Grass.


    The words'' Infant Soul Grass'' immediately attracted Lu Feng''s attention.


    "Senior-apprentice Brother Deacon, may I ask, what is this Infant Soul Grass used for?"


    Lu Feng politely asked the deacon disciple at the side.


    "Soul Infant Grass, as its name implies, is used to nourish the soul.


    Speaking of which, although this spiritual herb was rare, there was still a small portion stored in the exchange center of the sect. It was just that the price was quite high, so the disciple that needed it issued the mission here in order to obtain it at a relatively small price.


    Could it be that junior is interested in this mission?


    Let me tell you, this Infant Soul Grass is only produced in the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range. It is surrounded by high level magical beasts and even demonic beasts.


    I advise you not to have any such ideas! "


    Lu Feng smiled and said, "Many thanks for Senior''s good intentions. I am just curious about this kind of spiritual herb and do not know its specific effects. That''s why I took the liberty to disturb Senior Brother. I am not interested in this mission."


    As the two of them asked and answered, they suddenly heard someone beside them exclaim, "Who is that? You actually entered the sect in a carriage? "


    Lu Feng looked up and saw a horse carriage heading towards the inner part of the sect along the main road.


    The carriage was being pulled by a Snow Dragon Horse that did not have a single strand of mixed hair on its body. The color of the carriage was light, but it gave off a sense of elegance.


    At this moment, the side curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened by a small, snowy hand. A pleasant and disagreeable face flashed past the window, and then the curtain was lowered again.


    At that moment, Lu Feng happened to look at the owner of that pretty face. What kind of pair of eyes were those?


    Deep, moving ¡­


    One pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through all living things in the world, while the other seemed to be as unfathomable as a deep pool.


    "It''s actually Miss Xu? Great Miss Xu returned to the sect? "


    The disciple beside Lu Feng suddenly exclaimed.


    "Senior Brother, who is this Miss Xu?"


    Lu Feng asked curiously, but in his heart, he was thinking about that mysterious pair of eyes.


    The deacon disciple looked at Lu Feng and said, "Junior brother, Miss Xu is one of the four great Successor Disciples of the sect and also the only female disciple among them.


    Although she was only twenty years old, it was said that her cultivation had long since surpassed the Yellow Rank. She was truly a proud daughter of heaven.


    Moreover, Miss Xu rarely appeared in the sect.


    There are rumors saying that the real identity of the Void Miss is actually our Heavenly Star Palace''s Palace Master''s only beloved daughter. This is because the Palace Master''s real name is'' Void End '', and he is known as the'' Ghost King ''.


    As for Miss Xu, her name was Xu Yeyue. Salute Mr. Huang Yi and borrow his two characters.)


    That was why there were rumors that the two of them were father and daughter.


    As for the truth, there is no way to verify it. "


    It was the night moon in the sky!


    What a good name!


    Lu Feng secretly praised in his heart.

 C76 Jiang Xin Was Shocked

    Lu Feng listened to the janitor disciple''s rambling as he watched Xu Yeyue''s carriage gradually disappear from his sight.


    The look he exchanged with Xu Yeyue just now had piqued Lu Feng''s curiosity, but now was not the time to investigate.


    After that, Lu Feng casually accepted a few mid-difficulty missions, which were for searching for medicinal herbs or ores. Then, he bid farewell to the deacon disciple who was obviously a worshiper of Niuye Yue and headed towards his own residence.


    By noon, Lu Feng had asked Loulan Slash to invite Jiang Xin over and the three of them had lunch together.


    Actually, at Lu Feng''s current cultivation level, he no longer needed much food. The reason he invited Jiang Xin over for a meal was mainly because he had something to discuss with her.


    However, for Jiang Xin, this was the first time she had ever been invited by Lu Feng to lunch. The meaning was naturally different for her.


    Even Jiang Xin himself didn''t know when it had started, but the image of Lu Feng had already been deeply embedded in her heart.


    Every time he faced Lu Feng, Jiang Xin''s usual heroic and free attitude was completely gone. Instead, she had the demeanor of a little girl, and ripples often appeared on her face.


    The three of them had a hearty meal, especially Lu Yueru. Not only did she not dislike Jiang Xin''s participation, she even started chatting with her.


    After dinner, he watched as Lu Yueru cleaned up the dishes and entered the kitchen. "Jiang Xin," Lu Feng said to Jiang Xin, "Actually, I need your help with something this time."


    Jiang Xin was startled and asked, "Lu Feng, what''s wrong?" Did something happen? "


    Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "It''s like this. Jiang Xin, I''ve taken a few missions today and need to go out for a few days.


    And I''m a little worried about Lush, I want to ask you to take care of her for me for a few days, you two can also be a companion, go to class together or something.


    I wonder if you can promise me that? "


    Jiang Xin was relieved and said, "It''s good that you''re fine. I have a good relationship with Hua Rui. Since you''re not here, it would be convenient for us sisters to get along together."


    "Therefore, you can be at ease and do your own business."


    Lu Feng nodded and said, "Then I''ll have to trouble you."


    "Brother, you''re going out?"


    Lu Lushui happened to be coming out of the kitchen, so she asked Lu Feng unhappily.


    Lu Feng looked at the unhappy Lu Liru, scratched her nose and said, "I just went out to do a few missions. I''ll be back in a short while."


    During this time, you will be following your sister Jiang Xin and making up for your lack of basic knowledge.


    "Wei Rui, remember, the path of cultivation is as vast as a sea of smoke. You need to master too much."


    Before, you didn''t even come in contact with such things. Most of your current cultivation base relies on the power of medicinal pills to force your way up. This causes your foundation to be unstable, which is not good for your future.


    So, you should use this time to make up for it.


    "This way, in the future, you won''t be left behind by me and your sister."


    After hearing Lu Feng''s explanation and advice, although she was still unwilling, she understood her own disadvantage. If she wanted to stay by Lu Feng''s side in the future, she had to raise her cultivation level.


    Otherwise, when Lu Feng reached Heaven Stage and needed to leave, she would probably not be able to continue following him. That would be a fatal blow to her.


    "En, big brother, I''ll listen to you. I will definitely cultivate well and catch up to big brother as soon as possible."


    An unswerving expression appeared on Loulan Slash''s face as she spoke to Lu Feng in a serious tone.


    "This is my, Lu Feng''s, sister!"


    Lu Feng smiled in gratitude. He continued, "As for your safety issues during this period of time, just leave them to Xiao Jin."


    With it, your safety should not be a problem! "


    "Master, don''t worry. As long as I''m here, I won''t let anyone hurt the little miss and Miss Jiang."


    Hearing Lu Feng mentioning her, the Golden Eagles, who had been resting with their eyes closed all this time, flapped their wings and flew onto Lu Ruorui''s shoulder. They spoke in a very boastful manner.


    Jiang Xin was taken aback by the parrot''s sudden words. A magical beast that could speak, wasn''t that already at the level of a demonic beast?


    Lu Feng''s methods were indeed extraordinary. It was just that he did not know the background of this'' parrot ''.


    Seemingly sensing Jiang Xin''s confusion, Lu Feng explained to her, "Jiang Xin, let me introduce Xiao Jin to you. He is now Luan Rui''s personal bodyguard, and will be responsible for your safety while I''m away."


    Xiao Jin''s main body is Golden Eagles and his strength is around middle Yellow Rank. He should be able to meet the requirements to protect you.


    For example, as long as the Sky Star Academy is not facing the inner sect elders or the core disciples, your safety should not be a problem.


    Of course, with your two personalities, the chances of getting into that kind of trouble are very small, but it''s also good to be prepared. "


    Only then did Jiang Xin realize that the bird he had been treating as a parrot was actually a top-grade demonic beast, the Golden Eagles. This Lu Feng had been hiding his abilities quite well.


    "Lu Feng, I heard that you have two Jade-Eyed Tigers. I wonder what level they have reached?" Jiang Xin asked curiously.


    "Are you talking about Little Tiger and Xiao Yu?


    Xiao Hu was currently an early stage Yellow Rank martial artist. Xiao Yu was a little stronger and had the same cultivation realm as Xiao Jin.


    However, I did not bring the two of them with me this time. Compared to my current situation, the Lu family needs them more. "


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    "Big Brother, we probably won''t encounter any danger within the sect. I think it''s better if Little Gold follows you."


    Lu Lushui said worriedly to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "There''s no need. My strength is currently only a step away from the early stage of the Yellow Rank. There basically won''t be any great danger."


    Besides, did you forget? That ugly cow, Old Black is still living in the Green Cloud Mountain. "


    Lu Feng looked at her with a hint of amusement, then mentioned the word "ugly cow" once again.


    "Big brother, you''re mocking me. I didn''t know back then that Old Black was so powerful. Besides, it was pretty ugly."


    Lu Lili said coquettishly as she held onto Lu Feng''s arm.


    "You, ah, you really are a child that can''t grow up!"


    Lu Feng somewhat doted on her, but at the same time, he spoke to her helplessly.


    While the two siblings were happily chatting, Jiang Xin, who was standing beside them, was once again astonished. Other than these three demonic beasts, Lu Feng had also arranged a backup plan in the Green Cloud Mountain Range. His strength and scheming were truly astonishing.


    In other words, Lu Feng''s current demon beasts were more than enough to flatten the entire Greencloud City. Even if the City Lord had a huge conspiracy, he would have no way to fight back against Lu Feng''s absolute strength.

 C77 Mountain Entering

    That afternoon, Lu Feng bid his farewells to the two girls. He was alone as he left the academy, heading towards the Greencloud Mountain Range.


    When they reached a place with no one around, Lu Feng unfurled his body and shot forward like an arrow that had just left the bow.


    The reason he left the school was because Lu Feng''s cultivation had been progressing very slowly and had been stuck at the late Foundation Establishment stage. He was still a long way from the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    If it was someone from the Tian Yuan Continent, to be able to reach Lu Feng''s level of cultivation at his age was equivalent to late Xiantian realm. He would definitely be hailed as a genius for not seeing anyone for many years.


    However, in Lu Feng''s opinion, his current progress was a little too slow. One must know that Lu Feng was a rarely seen Heaven''s End Tyrant Body, and after its development, his talent would definitely surpass Jiang Xin''s Profound Grade High Rank. As for the specific level, Lu Feng did not know much about it.


    In addition to the Shuntian Art that Lu Feng cultivated, coupled with his absolute body, he was definitely a heaven-defying existence.


    As for the Star Circulation Dou Technique that he had cultivated, that was also the ultimate technique of the Eastern Emperor, a mighty force that shook the great wastelands.


    Under the combined effect of these three factors, it was reasonable to say that even though Lu Feng''s cultivation was not as fast as the speed of a rocket, he should still be able to move quickly.


    However, the reality was that Lu Feng''s cultivation had often stagnated. Even after absorbing the soul crystal from the past, he hadn''t improved much.


    This confused Lu Feng.


    After careful consideration, Lu Feng decided to focus on the strength of his soul. It was very possible that it was his soul that was injured, which limited the rate at which his cultivation would increase.


    After entering the mountain this time, Lu Feng wanted to see if he could find the Infant Soul Grass and test out its effects. If he could verify his guess, then he would have found the direction to go from now on.


    Even if he guessed wrong, using the Infant Soul Grass to nourish and strengthen his soul wasn''t a waste.


    Therefore, Lu Feng decided to go on this trip to the Green Cloud Mountain. Taking on those missions was only a matter of convenience, and it just so happened that he could increase his contribution points income by a little.


    Other than that, Lu Feng also wanted to check out the situation of the Azure Skysnake, Old Black, in the Greencloud Mountain Range. After all, that place was a backup plan that he had set up.


    Currently, Lu Feng was unable to use the Five Elements Escape Technique, so he could only use this sort of light body movement like the Soaring Land Technique to travel. Without a doubt, his speed was much slower.


    It seemed that after entering the Aurous Core stage, he would need to find some materials to refine a flying sword for himself.


    Lu Feng thought to himself.


    On that day, the Cloud Wolf Eagles were used to travel the distance from the Green Cloud Mountain Range. It took Lu Feng about half a day to arrive at the Heavenly Star Academy. Compared to the Cloud Wolf Eagles, Lu Feng''s speed was much slower.


    However, with Lu Feng using all of his Quintessential Essence, the speed was much faster compared to a normal horse.


    With Lu Feng travelling at full speed, it was only when the sky was about to brighten that they finally managed to enter the vicinity of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    Looking at the nearby mountain peaks, Lu Feng stopped, wanting to take a break.


    After almost half a day and a night of travelling, even someone as strong as Lu Feng was feeling a little tired.


    After finding a rather quiet place, Lu Feng sat down cross-legged and faced the rising sun. He began to meditate and adjust his breathing, restoring the true essence within his body.


    After cultivating for thirty-six cycles, Lu Feng stopped cultivating and stood up. He felt very comfortable. In addition to the birdsong and fragrant flowers around him, Lu Feng felt very refreshed.


    It seems that I have been engrossed in worldly affairs these days.


    Lu Feng suddenly had an epiphany. It was as if his cultivation was stagnant and it had something to do with him going too far into the mundane world.


    Rather than searching aimlessly, he might as well call the Azure Skysnake Bull over. As a local snake, the Azure Skysnake Bull''s degree of familiarity towards the Green Cloud Mountain Range far surpassed his own. Since there was such a living map, why bother so much?


    I''ll do it if I want to.


    Lu Feng cast a spell and used a secret technique to summon the Azure Python to meet him.


    Not long after, a light breeze blew by, and the Azure Python''s huge body descended from the skies, appearing right in front of Lu Feng.


    "Master, Old Black is here to report!"


    Seeing Lu Feng, the Azure Python took a passionate step forward and said in a low voice.


    Lu Feng floated onto the back of the Azure Python, and said indifferently, "Old Black, take me to the place you''ve taken down now."


    "Yes, master!"


    The Azure Python responded with a sound, then activated its Wind Controlling Technique. Under the gentle breeze, it flew into the air and headed towards the depths of the mountains.


    "Ol ''Black, are you outside or in the middle area?"


    Lu Feng casually asked as he sat on the back of the Azure Python, feeling the gentle breeze caress his face.


    "Master, Ol ''Black is incompetent. He only found a low level spirit vein near the middle level area on the outskirts. He temporarily set foot there and hasn''t gone to the middle level area yet."


    However, my men have already gathered a group of relatively strong magical beasts, and most of them are at the middle and late stage of the Xiantian realm.


    The Azure Skysnake Bull said with a bit of pride.


    Indeed, to be able to find a low grade spirit vein was a great contribution by the Azure Skysnake Python.


    To cultivators, the effect of a Spiritual Pulse was not inferior to pills that could increase their cultivation.


    If a clan had a spirit vein, it would ensure that the clan would not weaken for many years. This was a manifestation of the clan''s strength.


    "That''s right, Old Black. I didn''t expect you to have such luck."


    Lu Feng praised lightly.


    "How is it my credit?


    "Master, this is all thanks to you, Hong Fu Tian. The moment we arrived here, the heavens had prepared a great gift for us."


    The Azure Skysnake Bull nodded its head and said humbly.


    "Ha ha!"


    Lu Feng smiled, and did not linger on this topic with the Azure Skysnake Cow, turning to admire the scenery below from the air.


    The Azure Skysnake Python was indeed a wind attributed demon beast. At least in terms of speed, it was not something Lu Feng could compare with.


    Not long after, the Azure Python brought Lu Feng to its territory. It was a beautiful valley with beautiful scenery.


    "Master, this place belongs to a group of Whirlwind Wolves. The leader of the Wolf Kings has reached the strength of a peak Innate.


    With the same Wind Attribute, even though they had many wolves, I still managed to defeat them.


    Now, they have officially pledged their allegiance to me, and have become your subordinates, Master. "


    After the Azure Skysnake Python landed on the ground, it walked towards the valley while bragging.


    "Where is the Spiritual Pulse?"


    Regarding the Azure Python''s invitation, Lu Feng did not care, and directly asked about the location of the Spiritual Pulse.


    "Master, it''s in a natural cave at the end of the valley. I''ll lead you there."


    The Azure Skysnake Python felt bored and said in embarrassment.

 C78 Old Blacks Territory

    "Master, all the mountains within a hundred mile radius around here are my territory.


    In addition to the Whirlwind Wolves, three late-stage Xiantian realm magical beasts have also joined us.


    Master, can you later see if you can see these low level magical beasts and let them see your divine might so that they don''t have to think twice before doing so? "


    As the Azure Python walked, it introduced them to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng did not pay much attention to what the Azure Python said. Since he gave this place to the Azure Python to take care of, Lu Feng had to show absolute trust.


    "Old Black, since they have already become your subordinates, then you will be in charge of them. There is no need for you to pass through me.


    You just need to remember to keep your own loyalty to me.


    As for those lackeys of yours, if there''s anyone who dares to have any ill intentions, you can just kill them. "


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    It was obvious that Lu Feng did not care much for this kind of low-ranked magical beast.


    For example, the Golden Eagles and the two Jade-Eyed Tigers could also be considered good fortune. Coincidentally, Lu Feng had obtained the Blazing Golden Spirit Fruit and refined three Beast Pills before accepting them.


    While Lu Feng was healing him, the Azure Skysnake Bull successfully broke through to the Demonic Beast realm.


    Right now, Lu Feng didn''t have any more Spirit Beast Pills with him. No matter how many Peak Xiantian level magical beasts there were, they wouldn''t be able to make a breakthrough in such a short time.


    Thus, based on this lack of talent, unless there was a magical beast with great potential, Lu Feng would not want to take on many more people. He would just have to separate the four magical beasts to lead them.


    Even if it was the Azure Python, Lu Feng still planned to call it over after a while and exchange it for the Golden Eagles to collect a portion of its underlings.


    In the future, these four demon beasts would all be at the Yellow Rank. They would be the commanders of Lu Feng''s four great demon beasts.


    The Azure Python could feel the trust in Lu Feng''s words, and its gratitude towards Lu Feng grew even stronger, as if it knew that a warrior would die for his own sake.


    After he finished giving pointers to the Azure Python, Lu Feng looked around the valley.


    Needless to say, this place was indeed close to the Spiritual Pulse. The Spiritual Energy in the air was a lot denser than outside of the valley. Various kinds of strange flowers and plants could be seen everywhere in the valley.


    "Ol ''Black, the conditions here are pretty good. Why didn''t anyone think of him before you?"


    Lu Feng asked curiously.


    "Master, although the spiritual energy here is a little dense, but for a demonic beast of middle stage yellow level or above, it is of little use.


    Furthermore, the Whirlwind Wolves were too large in size. They were only at the early stage of the Yellow Rank, so they really couldn''t be provoked.


    Currently, this pack of Whirlwind Wolves had one at the pinnacle of Xiantian, six at the late Xiantian realm, fifteen at the middle Xiantian realm, more than thirty at the early Xiantian realm, and about a thousand below the Xiantian realm.


    And the wolf pack''s characteristic was to band together and rush up in a group. They would often be able to defeat opponents who were much stronger than them.


    Therefore, ordinary demon beasts didn''t want to provoke them.


    Moreover, this place was, after all, at the outskirts of the Green Cloud Mountain Range. For those demonic beasts with high strength, if they were to settle here, they would be mocked by the other demonic beasts.


    That was why the wolf cub had become the overlord of this area.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that I share the same wind attribute with them, I wouldn''t have been able to subdue them.


    Just this, I, Old Black, was so tired that I was half dead. "


    The Azure Skysnake Python sighed as it spoke.


    "Old Black, what''s the innate talent of this Whirlwind Wolf?"


    Lu Feng''s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly asked.


    "Master, the Whirlwind Wolves are high level magical beasts. Within the pack, there is a chance that they will mutate and break through to become the Howling Firmament Wolf.


    I remember that in the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, there seems to be a Howling Wind Wolf. Its strength seems to have surpassed the Earth Stage, making it an absolute hegemon.


    Just like me, Old Black, when it comes to having a hundred and eighty heads, people don''t even look at it. "


    The Azure Python said.


    "Oh? "Does that mean there''s a need to train the Whirlwind Wolves?"


    Lu Feng asked with interest.


    The Azure Python shook its head and said, "Master, if you want to breed Whirlwind Wolves, you better sign a master and servant agreement with them before forcing them to swear a blood oath.


    Otherwise, they could easily turn traitor.


    Wolf nature is cunning, the most fickle. "


    "Then what do you rely on to suppress them?"


    Lu Feng asked.


    "A crushing defeat for power."


    Right now, they are unable to defeat me, so naturally, they can only obediently submit to me.


    However, if the Wolf King successfully breaks through to the Yellow Rank, then my advantage over them will be reduced to the minimum. At that time, there will be no guarantee that they won''t have second thoughts.


    This is also the reason why I asked Master to see them. "


    The Azure Skysnake Python said with a bit of grievance.


    Although Lu Feng understood the intention of the Azure Python, it was not enough for him to change his decision.


    "Old Black, you don''t have to worry.


    I''ll teach you a method of blood contract later. You turn that Wolf King into your contract beast so that it won''t be able to escape your control again.


    The Wolf King is being docile. Those little wolfdogs under its command probably won''t be able to cause much of a stir either! "


    As the former Celestial Emperor, the leader of the Monster race, if he did not even have this little bit of power, then Lu Feng had really messed with him for nothing.


    The Azure Skysnake Bull was overjoyed. Although it had taken up so much territory and subdued a few other magical beasts, this wolf was still a thorn in its side. It feared that the wolf king would suddenly make a breakthrough.


    Now, it''s done. Master actually has a method to bind a demon beast or demonic beast with his blood. What''s there to worry about?


    "Master, this is great. I was worried that those wolf cub would rebel, but now that you have arrived, this problem has been resolved."


    Master, you are truly wise and wise, even I, Old Black, can''t catch up to you! "


    The Azure Python was in a good mood, and it offered up its flattery as if it did not need any money.


    Towards this crafty old cow, Lu Feng was almost at a loss for words.


    "That''s right, Old Black, how do you all cultivate?"


    Lu Feng suddenly asked.


    The Azure Python was silent for a moment, and then said somewhat helplessly: "Master, we demon beasts are different from humans, we do not have any cultivation techniques. Most of our cultivation depends on our own talent.


    Like me, I belong to the relatively rare Wind Attribute. From the day I gained my wisdom, I spent my days wandering around the territory, eating Spirit Grasses and absorbing the essence of the heaven and earth.


    I didn''t know what was going on, so I naturally made a breakthrough.


    Perhaps, this is also the sorrow of us demonic beasts. "

 C79 Spirit Spring

    Towards the Azure Skysnake Python''s feelings and helplessness, Lu Feng also shared the same sentiments. During the prehistoric era, how many soldiers at the bottom level of the demon race walked the first years step by step like this.


    As for those who could enter the tutelage of a master teacher, they were extremely rare, especially when the Three Great Sects had Empyrean Yuanshi, an existence that hated demons.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he had been taken in by the Sect Leader, who knew how many of them would have been displaced.


    "Old Black, don''t be discouraged. Let me think for a while and see if I can find a cultivation technique suitable for you demon beasts to cultivate."


    Furthermore, since your Jindan has been formed, you can naturally control it and absorb the essence of heaven and earth. That way, the speed of your cultivation would greatly increase. "


    The Azure Python was stunned, "Master, can Jindan still leave the body?"


    Lu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, the cultivation of demon beasts is mainly about the growth of the Jindan Stage.


    Didn''t your body absorb all sorts of spiritual energy to enter your aurous core and become your cultivation base?


    If that was the case, then why couldn''t he just directly take out the golden core and use it to refine the world, the sun, and the moon, while simultaneously absorbing the essence?


    Wouldn''t this greatly reduce the process in the middle, making the spiritual energy and essence that the Jindan can absorb even greater and purer? "


    "Master, how do we take out the golden core?"


    The Azure Skysnake Python asked in worry. Evidently, it was extremely concerned about the increase of its strength.


    Lu Feng was curious too. The demon beasts of this world were really primitive. They didn''t even know such a simple method?


    "Old Black, don''t worry. After we check the Spiritual Pulse, I will naturally teach you this method."


    Don''t forget, you''re my mount right now. If your strength is too low, that would disgrace me.


    Therefore, you don''t have to worry about increasing your strength. I will do my best to help you. "


    "Thank you master, master is so kind to Old Black!"


    The Azure Skysnake Bull opened its mouth wide and said proudly.


    As the master and servant chatted, they could already see the end of the valley.


    "Master, up ahead is the end of the valley. We just need to make a small turn and we''ll see the entrance to the cave."


    The Azure Python knew that Lu Feng was anxious to see the Spiritual Pulse, at this time it hurriedly started to pay attention.


    "En!"


    "Yes." Lu Feng replied, but he was seriously sensing the changes in his surroundings.


    As expected, the closer they got to the end, the denser the surrounding spiritual energy became. It was obvious that this was related to the spirit vein in the cave.


    Just like the Azure Python had said, after walking through a small forest, one would be able to see a cave not too far away.


    The terrain of this cave was quite good, and it was located right behind a tall cliff that pierced the clouds. The cave was not big, and it was only a few dozen feet above the ground.


    At this point, Lu Feng could clearly feel a dense Spiritual Qi flowing out of the cave and dispersing in the air.


    "Ol ''Black, what''s going on inside the cave? Have you checked in? "


    Lu Feng floated down from the back of the Azure Python, raised his head and looked at the entrance of the cave, and asked casually.


    "Master, the Whirlwind Wolves did not discover this spirit vein before. According to what the Whirlwind Wolves said, the reason they chose this place to live here was because of the dense Spiritual Energy at the end of the valley.


    As for the spiritual energy, where did it come from? Why is the spiritual energy so dense here?


    They did not examine it closely.


    When I first came over, I had a big battle with the Whirlwind Wolves.


    During the battle, the Wolf King was bombarded by me onto the cliff, which is the location of the cave entrance. It caused a few cracks to form at the cave entrance, allowing me to discover the difference.


    After taming the Whirlwind Wolves, I enlarged the cave entrance and sent a few Whirlwind Wolves in to check. According to their reports, the cave was very deep, but there was something like a small river about a few miles away from the cave entrance.


    They didn''t dare to enter any further. It was as if there was a pressure inside that prevented them from going any deeper.


    My physique is too huge. Although Master has taught me how to transform my body, I can''t unleash my full strength like that.


    Therefore, I only went in to take a look at the river before retreating.


    Master, with my experience, I believe that the small river should be the external manifestation of the Spirit Vein, and the water inside it might very well be the Spirit Liquid. "


    The Azure Skysnake Bull looked at Lu Feng with a guilty look and explained in a low voice.


    "Since that''s the case, then guard me outside. I''ll go in and take a look."


    "Remember, before I come out, no one is allowed to approach the cave."


    Lu Feng instructed indifferently. With a flash of his body, he had already arrived at the entrance of the cave.


    From the looks of it, the Azure Skysnake Bull had spent some time at the cave.


    He had created a small platform on the originally steep mountain wall for people to set their feet on. The entrance to the cave was located further inside.


    The cave was just as the Azure Python had said, only less than ten feet high. The cave entrance was enough for two adults to walk side by side.


    In a place like this, the Wind Attribute Demonic Beast, the Azure Skysnake, would indeed not be able to display much of its strength, not to mention the fact that the Azure Skysnake had such a large body.


    Lu Feng sent out his Spiritual Sense for a while and then walked into the cave.


    The cave twisted and turned; it didn''t look like it had been dug by human but more like it had been formed by nature. The width of the cave was not consistent. The places were several zhang wide and the narrow places could only allow one person to pass by.


    Lu Feng kept his Spiritual Sense spread out from the beginning to the end, carefully sensing all the details in the darkness.


    Following the direction of the cave, about half an hour later, Lu Feng used his Spiritual Sense to discover that he had arrived at a very large space, like a special cave.


    Lu Feng casted a lighting spell to form a small sphere, which was like a sun. It was suspended above the chamber, and under the gentle light, everything inside was displayed before Lu Feng''s eyes.


    This cave was not small. It was around the size of a few acres of land and there were stalactites of various sizes everywhere.


    Opposite Lu Feng, there was a cave of the same size. Clearly, it was leading to the entrance of the passage.


    In the middle of the cave, a small winding river flowed out from the stone wall. Finally, it formed a small pool in front of the opposite stone wall. The dense spiritual qi was coming from that small pool.


    "Spirit Spring Water!"


    Lu Feng''s eyes narrowed as he called out in a low voice with a hint of surprise.


    Lu Feng''s vision and experience were naturally incomparable to that of an Aurous Core stage demonic beast, the Azure Skysnake Bull.


    Thus, Lu Feng was able to recognize it at a glance. How could this be a low grade spirit vein?


    This was definitely a spirit spring!


    This small river was only one of the tributaries of the Spirit Spring Water.


    This was probably the reason why the Azure Skysnake Bull and the others thought that it was a Spirit Vein.

 C80 Spring Protecting Spirit Beast

    Perhaps the Azure Python''s group had seen the river coming from the cliff and mistook it for the direction of the river, so they thought it was a spiritual vein.


    Carefully sensing the direction of the flow of the spirit vein, Lu Feng began to use his Spiritual Sense to pass through the rock wall, trying to find the location of the Spirit Spring Water.


    Unfortunately, Lu Feng was disappointed. No matter how much he used his Spiritual Sense, he was still unable to find the end of the river.


    Forget it, my strength is limited right now. Even if I find the Spirit Spring Water Cave, I might not be able to deal with the guardian beast.


    Lu Feng consoled himself and looked at the passage across the street.


    Recalling what the Azure Python had just said, that there was a great pressure within, Lu Feng became curious. Could it be that the passageway could lead to the spring?


    Lu Feng stretched out his hand to summon the glowing sphere formed by the Illumination Technique, controlling it to float in front of him as he walked towards the passageway.


    Soon enough, Lu Feng''s figure disappeared into the passage, and the cave returned to its former darkness.


    Under the illumination of the light ball, Lu Feng headed deeper into the tunnel.


    Along the way, Lu Feng was even more curious about this cave. Not to mention the few ores that would occasionally appear on the walls of the cave, they were enough to make Lu Feng''s heart beat faster.


    However, after walking a few miles inside, Lu Feng found quite a few precious ores in succession. They were the main materials to craft flying swords, and also appeared here.


    After casually digging a few pieces, Lu Feng once again headed deeper in.


    Just like this, while walking, Lu Feng casually dug out some precious ores that had appeared on the walls of the cave. Unknowingly, a long time had passed.


    The more Lu Feng walked, the weirder he became. Why was it that at the end of the passage, he could clearly feel that he was going down into the ground?


    Could it be that the Spirit Spring Water was actually buried deep underground?


    After walking for another two hours, Lu Feng could not even remember how far he had walked.


    Suddenly, a huge wave of pressure appeared in the tunnel all of a sudden.


    Lu Feng''s footsteps became sluggish as he quickly stuck his body against the cave wall.


    Faintly, Lu Feng seemed to hear a rumbling sound coming from far away, but it was too far away, so he couldn''t hear it clearly.


    Just as Lu Feng was struggling to resist, the pressure suddenly dissipated, just as suddenly as it had come.


    Lu Feng was curious, what was going on?


    Unable to suppress his curiosity, Lu Feng continued to delve deeper.


    At this time, a fork began to appear in the passageway and the same kind of cave would often appear. However, not every cave would form a spiritual pond. Some simply flashed by with their spirit veins, revealing only a small section.


    The further in he went, the higher the grade of the spirit vein. At Lu Feng''s current position, he was almost at the middle grade spirit vein level.


    This was also a unique characteristic of the Spirit Spring Water. As the spirit vein continued to flow, the amount of spirit energy it contained would gradually decrease until it was close to nothing.


    And every once in a while, that pressure would suddenly appear and continue for a few breaths of time before disappearing again, causing Lu Feng to be puzzled.


    However, that thunderous rumble was confirmed by Lu Feng. It was not an illusion, but it was real.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng thought of a possibility and his face changed dramatically.


    According to Lu Feng''s memories, there would always be a guardian beast in the spirit spring. For the one in front of him, based on his current performance, its rank shouldn''t be too low.


    In other words, if Lu Feng found the spirit spring, he would have to face the spirit beast guarding the spring.


    Right now, Lu Feng was wondering if the pressure that appeared every now and then was actually the snoring breath of the Spring Protection Spiritual Beast when it was sleeping. Could it be that it was formed as the distance between them increased?


    As for why he was snoring, it was precisely because of that muffled, thunder-like voice that rang out at the same time as the pressure appeared.


    If Lu Feng''s guess was right, then this underground Spirit Spring must be occupying a very large area. It was very possible that Lu Feng was currently only walking in the outer regions.


    The spirit beast protecting the spring also had to be many times stronger than the limit that Lu Feng could endure right now.


    In other words, even if all four of Lu Feng''s Demonic Beasts were by his side, it was very likely that they wouldn''t even be able to withstand one move from the other party.


    Thinking of this, Lu Feng started to retreat.


    Although Lu Feng was also an arrogant person, he knew that he still had to go deeper. That was not arrogance, but stupidity. It was pure suicide, something that Lu Feng would never do.


    Immediately, Lu Feng quietly withdrew his Spiritual Sense, turned around and walked away.


    Lu Feng only stopped when he arrived at the place where Lu Feng first encountered this pressure.


    Although he couldn''t check the Spirit Spring Water now, it didn''t mean that Lu Feng had given up. It was just a temporary hold, waiting for his strength to increase.


    As for this cave, Lu Feng was prepared to use it as his temporary cave dwelling.


    However, the spirit beast guarding the spring water deep inside the spirit spring was definitely Lu Feng''s greatest threat. No one knew when that spirit beast would wake up.


    Would he go out for a walk?


    Therefore, Lu Feng was considering whether it was necessary to set up a maze nearby, and it would be best if he could trap it or drive it away, so that he would not be able to disturb him for the time being.


    In the end, Lu Feng made up his mind. Even if it was only temporary, he would block that Spiritual Beast and keep that low-grade spiritual vein for himself.


    After thinking for a while, Lu Feng turned around and walked in again. He found a relatively flat cave. He took out a handful of primeval stones and started to lay them on the ground.


    First of all, Lu Feng had set up an enhanced concealment array at the exit leading deeper into the cave. This way, the Qi on both sides of the tunnel would be sealed off from each other, so that the commotion on his side wouldn''t be transmitted to the inside and the pressure on the outside wouldn''t affect the outside.


    Following that, Lu Feng looked at the floor of the cave. On the opposite side of the Spirit Pool, he began to set up a relatively large trap array.


    The formation that Lu Feng had set up was also a famous formation in the prehistoric land. It was called the Dual Elements Dust Formation. It was Lu Feng''s elder brother, Di Jun, and the formation that he was the most adept at.


    However, Lu Feng''s strength was limited, and he didn''t have a Spiritual Treasure like the one in the Atlas of the Upper Sky. He could only lay down a Twin Dust Formation whose power had been reduced by countless times.


    However, Lu Feng was confident that even though it was a simplified version of the formation that was several times smaller, it was still able to stop any Spiritual Beast below the Earth Stage.


    Even if it was a Heaven Rank Spiritual Beast, they might not be able to successfully leave within a short period of time after entering the formation.


    After finishing all this, Lu Feng also felt a little tired. He sat down cross-legged next to the Spirit Pool and began to recuperate.

 C81 Breakthrough Peak of Foundation Establishment

    Right next to the spirit pond, Lu Feng began to adjust his breathing.


    After a few cycles of cultivation, Lu Feng felt the primeval essence in his body swiftly filling up. Indeed, he was cultivating in his spiritual vein; the effect was not ordinary.


    Lu Feng''s heart skipped a beat, but he did not get up. Instead, he continued to circulate the Circulatory Star Dou Technique and started to absorb a large amount of the rich spiritual energy in the cave.


    It suddenly occurred to Lu Feng that although his Circulatory Star Dou Technique could absorb the essence of the sun and moon, as well as the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the slow progress ahead seemed to have something to do with the lack of Spiritual Qi in the deeper parts of the world.


    Since he was close to the Spirit Spring Water and there was a Spirit Pool beside him, why not take this opportunity to see if his cultivation could increase quickly in such abundant spirit energy?


    One must know that Lu Feng had already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage for a very long time. However, after such a long time, his cultivation had only increased by a tiny bit.


    It was because of the previous comparison that Lu Feng suddenly had this thought.


    I''ll do it if I want to.


    Immediately, Lu Feng circulated the Revolving Star Dou Technique and started to absorb a large amount of Spiritual Energy. The liquid True Essence in his Dantian also began to spin rapidly, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Energy in his body and converting it into a portion of True Essence.


    All of a sudden, Lu Feng was in a state of forgetfulness.


    Lu Feng, on the other hand, started to cultivate inside. However, Old Black, the Azure Python at the entrance of the cave, was almost at the end of its road.


    Although the Azure Skysnake Python had subdued the Whirlwind Wolves, that was only through the advantage of its strength, and it was only barely able to win.


    That day, under the siege of the Whirlwind Wolf King and more than ten late stage Innate realm Whirlwind Wolves, although the Azure Skysnake was not at a disadvantage, it was still unable to win in a short period of time.


    Afterwards, the Azure Skysnake Python unleashed its true flames and activated its innate ability, which was the Shadow Clone Technique that Lu Feng had seen before, plus the Death Charge Technique. It had severely injured a few Whirlwind Wolves in succession, and even the Whirlwind Wolf King was struck by it.


    With that, the Whirlwind Wolves gradually stopped, under the lead of the Whirlwind Wolf King, they expressed their temporary allegiance to the Azure Python, and even gave the valley to the Azure Python. The pack of wolves chose a side of the valley, temporarily choosing a place to rest.


    However, with how cunning the Whirlwind Wolves were, even though they had expressed their allegiance that day, it did not mean that they were completely convinced.


    This was especially true for the ten or so Whirlwind Wolves that were equivalent to the wolf pack elders. However, more than half of them had been killed by the Azure Skysnake Python in one breath, leaving behind only six.


    Not to mention that during the process of the Azure Skysnake Python''s invasion, it had killed many Whirlwind Wolves of the early and middle stages of the Xiantian realm.


    It could be said that in his battle with the Azure Python, the entire Whirlwind Wolf tribe had lost at least a third of their strength.


    However, the so called fortune and misfortune depended on the Whirlwind Wolf King and the six great elders. After that battle, after recuperating from their injuries, their strength had actually improved a little, especially the Whirlwind Wolf King, who had already surpassed the peak of the Xiantian realm and one of them had stepped into the yellow level.


    As for the six Great Elders, their strength had also increased greatly, especially the Great Elder, who had broken through to the peak of the Xiantian realm, comparable to the Whirlwind Wolf King from before.


    With this, the Whirlwind Wolves could no longer sit still.


    Until today, when they saw that the Azure Skysnake Python had actually carried a human into the Spirit Vein Cave, the Whirlwind Wolf King felt great hatred. The Blessed Paradise, which originally belonged to the Gale Wolf tribe, had now turned into the Azure Python, and even the hateful human had appeared.


    From the perspective of the Whirlwind Wolf King, he was now at the Half-step Yellow Rank. In addition to his strength being no weaker than his own Great Elder, under the cooperation of the other five Great Elders, he had the strength to fight the Azure Python.


    Therefore, the Whirlwind Wolf King made up its mind that if he rebelled, he must drive the Azure Python away, kill that human, and take back the spirit vein that belonged to the Whirlwind Wolf Tribe.


    The Whirlwind Wolf King was still quite cautious. Before moving, he sent out a few of his underlings to scout the area and found out that the other three late-stage Innate realm Magic Beasts were not in the valley.


    The human went into the cave and did not come out for a long time.


    After receiving this news, the Whirlwind Wolf King and the six elders came to an agreement. They agreed to immediately take action and take back everything that belonged to the Whirlwind Wolves.


    Ever since Lu Feng entered the cave, the Azure Python had been loyal to the guardian. It had a pair of bell-like eyes that constantly scanned the surroundings in a vigilant and dignified manner.


    Seeing the seven Wind Wolves coming together, the Azure Skysnake immediately became alert. He had told them before that they were not allowed near the spirit vein for the time being.


    What surprised the Azure Skysnake Python was that before it could open its mouth to ask, seven Whirlwind Wolves had already rushed over, surrounding it in the middle. They did not say a word as they started to attack.


    At that time, under the siege of over a hundred Whirlwind Wolves, even the Azure Python was not afraid. How could it be afraid of just seven of them?


    Seeing the pack of wolves attack, the Azure Skysnake Bull did not show any signs of weakness and started to counterattack.


    Not only was the Whirlwind Wolf King on the verge of reaching his level of strength, even the six elders were in a completely different state now. One of them was even comparable to the Whirlwind Wolf King from that day.


    Although the Azure Skysnake Python was talented, sometimes, its manpower was poor. In the face of endless attacks, the Azure Skysnake Bull could only defend itself.


    From ten in the afternoon, the two sides fought all the way to the height of the moon. It was still a draw.


    As the strength of the Whirlwind Wolves was not far from that of the Azure Python, the Azure Python was gradually at a disadvantage. Especially when it used its Phantom Shadow twice in a row, it was all blocked by the Whirlwind Wolves.


    According to the Azure Python''s previous attitude, since the situation was not good, it was highly likely that it would have to retreat temporarily. At that time, it would be better to find an opportunity to take revenge.


    But today was different, Lu Feng was still in the cave, and before going in, he had clearly said: before coming out, no one was allowed to come near.


    As a result, although the Azure Python had been at a disadvantage, it still refused to back down.


    The battle went on for three days. During these few days and nights, the Azure Skysnake Python had many wounds on its body, and the Whirlwind Wolf Tribe was also in a tough spot. The second strongest Great Elder was heavily injured.


    It could be said that at this point, both sides were at the end of their wits. They were only holding on with their last breath.


    Inside the cave, Lu Feng did not know how much time had passed, but after repeatedly circulating the Revolving Star Dou Technique, he finally broke through the shackles and reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. He would soon start to form his core.


    Suddenly, a thought struck Lu Feng. He stopped his cultivation and stood up, using his movement technique to rush out of the cave.

 C82 Lu Fengs Fury

    The moment they left the cave and entered Lu Feng''s line of sight, it ignited a fire in his heart.


    Right now, his mount, the Azure Skysnake Bull, Old Black, was wounded and blocking the attacks of five Whirlwind Wolves. It was firmly guarding the entrance of the cave, not allowing those Whirlwind Wolves to take a step further.


    Lu Feng really hated this. Although he had previously said that he would teach the Black Gold Pill''s refining method and the Blood Pact method, he was in a rush to check the spirit veins, so he temporarily let go of this matter.


    He didn''t expect that such a small mistake would have nearly cost Laohei his life.


    "Stop!"


    He watched as a Whirlwind Wolf sneaked up behind the Azure Python, and after using all its strength for half a day, suddenly unleashed a huge wind blade, which headed straight towards the rear leg of the Azure Skysnake. Lu Feng roared out and descended from the air, while he was still in the air, the dark yellow chaos bell was thrown out by Lu Feng.


    The wind blade that was swiftly flying towards the Azure Skysnake Bull was right in front of the little black yellow bell that had suddenly appeared. Its size became smaller and smaller until it was finally swallowed by the chaos clock.


    Soon after, the Primal Chaos Bell suddenly shook. All of the wind magic spells stopped advancing and instead gathered towards the Primal Chaos Bell.


    After absorbing all the attacks, the chaos bell was satisfied and it turned into a dark yellow light before disappearing into Lu Feng''s hands.


    Under the Azure Skysnake''s anticipatory and gratified gaze, amidst the shock of the Wind Wolf, Lu Feng, who had retrieved his Primal Chaos Bell, suddenly appeared beside the Azure Skysnake, and sent a Wind Wolf flying with a palm strike that was waving its claws at the Azure Skysnake Bull.


    When the other Whirlwind Wolves saw Lu Feng suddenly appear, they even used a toy bell to absorb all the wind magic spells, then followed up with a palm attack to send a late stage Innate realm Whirlwind Wolf flying. They were all shocked and immediately gave up attacking the Azure Python Bull.


    "Master, Old Black followed your orders and did not allow any of the wolf cub''s into the cave to disturb you."


    Seeing Lu Feng appear, the Azure Python that was already spent spoke loudly.


    "Ol ''Black, stop talking for now. It''s important that you heal your injuries quickly."


    As he spoke, Lu Feng took out a Small Revitalizing Pellet and threw it into the mouth of the Azure Python.


    The Azure Python gave Lu Feng a grateful look and swallowed the pill. It then lay down on the ground and started absorbing the medicinal energy, recovering from its injuries.


    After settling down the Azure Python, Lu Feng turned around and coldly stared at the seven Whirlwind Wolves and coldly said: "You dare to sneak attack my Spirit Beast? All of you deserve to die!"


    Under the hands of the Azure Python, the Gale Wolf King did not gain much. It was also injured all over, its injuries were not much stronger than the Azure Python, and it was just holding on.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s cold and emotionless words, the Whirlwind Wolf King''s eyes narrowed. The ominous glint shot out without restraint, and from its mouth came a low howl of a wolf, as if it wanted to scare the wind away.


    "Evil creature!" How dare you be so impudent in front of this young master! "Die for me!"


    Facing the Tempest Wolf King''s threat, Lu Feng roared and charged towards the pack of wolves. Lu Feng would not get used to having a small group of magical beasts baring their teeth and baring their fangs at him.


    The Whirlwind Wolf King could not sense Lu Feng''s level of strength. Originally, it wanted to scare him off, but who would have thought that it would anger Lu Feng?


    However, facing Lu Feng who was rushing towards him, the Whirlwind Wolf King turned ferocious, charging towards him with its four remaining elders.


    In truth, when Lu Feng came to this world, he had not properly fought yet. Back then, he had relied on his remnant will of the Eastern Emperor to tame the green-eyed giant tiger, the small tiger, and the Azure Skysnake Python, and the Golden Eagles, all because of Little Yu''s charm. As for Lian Mo Wuxie, Song Hao, Mo Fan, Lu Yi, and Lu Zhen, including Murong Feng and Li from before, Lu Feng had not used his full strength to defeat them.


    Now, facing this group of Whirlwind Wolves, Lu Feng was enraged. Naturally, he did not show any mercy when he attacked with hatred.


    In just a few rounds, the four Whirlwind Wolves were all sent flying by Lu Feng. They could only wait for their deaths.


    Sensing his powerful physical body strength, Lu Feng realized that this was the correct way to use the absolute tyrant body. Previously, he only focused on cultivation and didn''t pay much attention to actual combat; this was one of the reasons why his cultivation stagnated.


    "Die!"


    Facing the remaining Whirlwind Wolf King, Lu Feng roared and threw out a punch, which landed heavily on top of the Wolf King''s head.


    The wolf tribe had a reputation of having a tough head and legs like copper and iron tofu, but when it came to a top magical beast like the Whirlwind Wolves, that was a very good example.


    However, under the astonished gaze of the Whirlwind Wolf Elder who was lying on the ground, Lu Feng''s full-powered punch actually exploded the head of the Whirlwind Wolf King with a "puchi" sound.


    The most powerful one, the Whirlwind Wolf King, had been killed by Lu Feng''s punch!


    Ah!


    Lu Feng, who had withdrawn his fist, roared loudly, as if he was venting his emotions.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng''s heart was struck by a thought. Without any hesitation, he took out the Primal Chaos Bell and aimed it at the wolf shaped silhouette.


    With the great suction from the chaos clock, an almost transparent wolf shadow was absorbed into the chaos clock.


    That''s right, what Lu Feng had collected was the soul of the Whirlwind Wolf King.


    After returning to the Chaotic Bell above Lu Feng''s head, it did not rush to enter Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness again. Instead, it shook a little and sent out a mysterious power into Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness.


    As soon as the mysterious power entered Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness, it was immediately absorbed completely. The Sea of Consciousness expanded at a visible rate.


    At the same time, Lu Feng felt his soul becoming more solid.


    That''s right, the Primal Chaos Bell had independently refined the Wolf King''s soul, and a part of his soul force had been transferred into his own soul, in order to repair the flaw of his soul.


    The joy of the Primal Chaos Bell had obviously benefited greatly as well.


    Lu Feng was overjoyed. The Infant Soul Grass was not found, but the soul of this magical beast gave him an unexpected surprise.


    Lu Feng looked at the six late Xiantian realm Whirlwind Wolves lying around them. Without hesitation, Lu Feng went up to them and killed them one by one, then used the chaos bell to collect all of their souls.


    After doing all that, Lu Feng thought about it. Since he had already killed all the higher-ups of the Whirlwind Wolves, then he might as well just kill them all, so as to avoid having to worry about their rebellion in the future. People often said that ingrate was not unreasonable.


    Immediately, Lu Feng set up a small spell formation around the Azure Skysnake Bull to protect it from recovering from its injuries. Then, he raised the Primal Chaos Bell above his head and rushed towards the Whirlwind Wolves at the side of the valley.

 C83 Extermination

    Towards the Azure Skysnake Python''s serious injuries, Lu Feng still blamed himself a little. If he had not asked it to protect the cave entrance, it would not have caused the consequences of not retreating at all.


    It had to be known that the Azure Skysnake Bull was wind attributed, had a very fast speed, and had an extremely cunning personality. When it saw that the situation was bad, it would immediately leave.


    As for the Whirlwind Wolves, Lu Feng didn''t think much of them, but he did have more than one. If he could cultivate all of them, how many resources would he need?


    And he was a f * cking ingrate!


    In addition, the chaos clock had taken the initiative to absorb the soul of the Whirlwind Wolf King, thus giving Lu Feng great benefits. Afterwards, the souls of the six Wolf Tribe elders also verified Lu Feng''s conjecture.


    Therefore, Lu Feng was prepared to use this group of blind Whirlwind Wolves as revenge for the Azure Python on the one hand, and to absorb the soul power to strengthen his own body on the other.


    Lu Feng quickly dashed into the pack of wolves. Without using any martial skills or arcane skills, he completely relied on his own physical strength to fight to the death against the hundreds of Whirlwind Wolves.


    The wolf clan was cunning, but they also held a grudge. Lu Feng had just killed the seven wolf clans'' highest levels, and had not been able to avoid the eyes and ears of others. Therefore, against Lu Feng, the archenemy, those Whirlwind Wolves did not care about the difference in strength between the two sides and fearlessly launched wave after wave of attacks.


    Lu Feng''s killing intent rose. He decided to let go of his defense and let those sharp fangs and claws bite him. Without caring about the pain, he continued to attack the Whirlwind Wolves that were charging towards him.


    As the number of wolves continued to decrease, Lu Feng''s punches and kicks became more and more fluid. The power of the absolute body was completely unleashed by him, and his body, which was continuously tempered by the Demon Emperor''s Shuntian Incantation, also began to unleash its potential.


    Originally, when the Whirlwind Wolves bit into Lu Feng''s body, they would leave a few shallow wounds, but in the end, they were unable to cut through Lu Feng''s skin at all.


    Gradually, the wolf corpses on the ground increased in number, and the battle between the two sides continued to shift, almost reaching half of the valley.


    During the process of Lu Feng''s desperate attempt to kill the wolf, the fist-sized chaos bell had always been standing on top of Lu Feng''s head, giving off a faint dark yellow light all around, bringing up invisible wolf souls and absorbing them into it. At the same time, it had also continuously absorbed the refined pure soul energy into Lu Feng''s Sea of Consciousness, nourishing Lu Feng''s soul, and at the same time, expanding the scope of his Sea of Consciousness.


    This caused Lu Feng to grow braver with each battle. He didn''t feel weak at all.


    In addition, his clothes had long been buried under the wolf''s kiss and claws, and his long hair was let down. Right now, Lu Feng was like a nearly naked wild man. He frantically attacked, and once again attacked, continuously harvesting the wolf''s life.


    Seeing that the original one thousand wolves were becoming fewer and fewer, and that almost all of those experts with strength above the Xiantian realm had been wiped out, the remaining one hundred Whirlwind Wolves with Houtian realm strength finally began to feel fear.


    The people in front of him were simply the reincarnation of a god of death. The Whirlwind Wolves that were originally alive were nothing more than grass in his eyes. A casual strike could take the lives of a Whirlwind Wolf.


    The fanaticism in the eyes of the surviving Whirlwind Wolves slowly faded, to be replaced by fear.


    No one knew who took the lead, but the remaining Whirlwind Wolves suddenly turned around and fled in all directions.


    "Want to leave?" "Too late!"


    Lu Feng let out a cold snort. He raised his hand and threw the chaos clock in the air. He then shouted, "Subdue!"


    The originally fist-sized chaos bell suddenly enlarged, and a dark yellow light swept out, passing by the fleeing wolves and disappearing into the surrounding mountain walls.


    A miraculous scene occurred. The group of Whirlwind Wolves who were still running furiously, as if they had been immobilized, all stood in their original positions, unable to move from head to toe. Only their terrified wolf eyes were constantly rolling.


    Lu Feng''s figure suddenly turned into a whirlwind, quickly moving around the entire space. Every time he appeared, he would definitely take the lives of several Whirlwind Wolves.


    Finally, as the last Whirlwind Wolf fell, the chaos clock began to spin rapidly. The dark yellow light that it had just released seemed to flow back in time as it brought all the wolf souls back into the clock.


    After absorbing the last of the light waves, the body of the chaos clock began to shrink rapidly, returning back to the size of a fist, it was still floating above Lu Feng''s head, spinning and spinning.


    Lowering his head to look at his almost naked body, Lu Feng seemed to realize something.


    "Coming from afar, coming from afar!"


    Lu Feng muttered a few sentences and sat down cross-legged. He assumed a posture of "five hearts to heaven" and quickly entered the state of forgetfulness.


    Suddenly, it was as if there was a wind blowing in the valley. Countless amounts of spiritual energy converged towards where Lu Feng was. They formed a huge whirlwind around his body, revolving around Lu Feng who was sitting on the ground.


    Gradually, Lu Feng''s figure was completely covered by the tornado, as if he had disappeared from the spot.


    And with the constant influx of spiritual energy from the valley, the size of the Whirlwind Ball stopped increasing, as if it had reached some sort of balance.


    The naked Lu Feng was sitting in the air with his eyes closed. Around him, it seemed as if the Spiritual Energy was being absorbed unceasingly by Lu Feng''s body, and the whirlwind outside seemed to exist to maintain the density of the Spiritual Energy inside.


    At the end of the valley, the Azure Python Bull had absorbed the medicinal strength of the Small Revitalizing Pellet, and it even absorbed it properly with the help of the spirit energy that it gathered.


    After this battle, the Azure Skysnake Bull''s strength had broken through to the middle stage of the Yellow Ranked, finally catching up to the Golden Eagles and the female tiger, Xiao Yu.


    After carefully sensing the benefits of increasing its strength, the Azure Skysnake Bull felt slightly complacent.


    At this moment, the Azure Python''s expression changed. Something seemed to have happened within the valley, its spiritual energy was all concentrated in one direction.


    The Azure Skysnake was shocked and forgot to look for Lu Feng as its master. She quickly flew into the air and headed for the place where the spiritual energy was gathering.


    Along the way, looking at the countless wolf corpses on the ground, the Azure Skysnake Cow was speechless. Needless to say, the Azure Skysnake knew that this was definitely done by Lu Feng.


    Looks like I, Old Black, hold a very high position in Master''s heart. Seeing that I was injured, Master actually slaughtered the entire Whirlwind Wolves in anger, which really moved Niu.


    Feeling the familiar aura from the cyclone ball, the Azure Skysnake Bull was once again convinced. This master was truly extraordinary, just by breaking through, he was able to cause such a huge commotion, I, Old Black, am already convinced.


    Even though he thought about it, the Azure Skysnake Python still stood loyally in the air above the Whirlwind Ball, helping Protector Lu Feng.

 C84 Dan Cheng

    The Azure Python''s defense lasted for three days and three nights.


    On this day, the tornado around Lu Feng''s body finally stopped absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the valley, and the speed of its rotation also became slower and slower.


    Seeing this scene, the Azure Python''s spirit was lifted. This was the sign that Lu Feng was about to finish his training.


    As time passed, the size of the Whirlwind Ball continued to shrink. In the end, all of it turned into spirit energy and was absorbed by Lu Feng''s body.


    On the field, Lu Feng''s naked body was revealed, with his five hearts facing the sky, floating about three feet above the ground. For the time being, he showed no sign of waking up.


    Above Lu Feng''s head, a fist-sized dark yellow small bell was constantly rotating, occasionally releasing a dark yellow light.


    As for Lu Feng''s originally jade-white skin, other than the bloodstains from killing the Whirlwind Wolves, there were also a lot of stains that emitted an unpleasant stench.


    However, the Azure Python could clearly feel that the aura emanating from Lu Feng''s body had become even more obscure than before.


    He clearly felt that he was not inferior to Lu Feng in terms of cultivation level, but he knew how powerful Lu Feng was.


    Perhaps, this was related to him being the master''s pet?


    The Azure Python thought to itself consolingly.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng moved.


    Naturally, he stretched out his limbs. Lu Feng, who was only wearing a pair of underpants, stood in the valley.


    The small bell above Lu Feng''s head also turned into a streak of dark yellow light and entered between Lu Feng''s eyebrows, disappearing without a trace.


    "Is this the Aurous Core stage?"


    This feels really good! "


    After sensing his strength with his heart, Lu Feng said to himself in gratification.


    At this time, the originally thick and viscous liquid true essence within Lu Feng''s dantian had completely disappeared. In the middle of his dantian, there was a golden pill the size of a longan, revolving by itself. This was the Lu Feng Jindan.


    In other words, Lu Feng had already bid his farewell to the Building Foundation Stage and successfully formed his Jindan. This was also what most people would call stepping into the Jindan Stage.


    "Ah, what''s that smell? "So smelly!"


    Just as Lu Feng was feeling the changes in his body brought about by the elixir, he suddenly smelled a terrible stench, causing him to feel nauseous. He couldn''t help but cry out.


    "Master, this stench is from the filth on your body."


    The Azure Python that had fallen to the ground shook its huge head, and suddenly said.


    "Old Black, are you alright?"


    Only now did he notice the Azure Skysnake Bull, Lu Feng, and ask in surprise.


    "Master, Laohei is fine now. His strength has increased by a small level, which can be considered a blessing to me.


    But, Master, would you like to take care of yourself first?


    To be honest, it stinks! "


    The Azure Skysnake Python said in all seriousness, but a hint of happiness flashed in its eyes.


    It was rare to see its master embarrassed, so naturally, the Azure Python had to enjoy itself.


    "Huh?"


    Only now did Lu Feng notice his almost naked body, as well as the thick layer of filth on his body. His old face couldn''t help but turn red.


    "Old Black, clean up all the corpses of the Whirlwind Wolves on the ground. The skin and bones, as well as the magic cores, are all good materials.


    I''ll be right back. "


    After instructing the others, Lu Feng disappeared from the spot. Soon, the sound of flowing water could be heard from the little river by the side of the valley.


    The Azure Skysnake Python grinned, its tail wagging happily as it picked up the Whirlwind Wolves'' corpses.


    Just like what Lu Feng said, all the members of the Wind Wolf Tribe were at least in the Postnatal realm. Their fur, bones, teeth, magic cores, etc. were all good materials. Even if they were brought to the market, they could be exchanged for large amounts of primeval stones.


    After a moment, Lu Feng, who had just finished washing up, appeared in front of the Azure Python once more.


    Right now, Lu Feng was no longer as bedraggled as he was before. After changing into a green robe, he was still as handsome as before, his temperament even more so than before.


    "Congratulations master for successfully coming out of seclusion, your cultivation base has advanced by leaps and bounds!"


    Seeing Lu Feng appear, the Azure Python hurriedly put down its work and ran over excitedly, shouting at Lu Feng.


    "Old Black, you are clearly an ox, why do you do the work of a horse every day?


    Who did you learn such flattering skills from? "


    Lu Feng was obviously in an excellent mood, it was rare for him to joke around with the Azure Skysnake Python.


    After the Azure Python heard this, it shook its head and said seriously: "Master, I, Old Black, am not flattering you. I am sincerely convinced by master''s power.


    What I just said was all from the bottom of my heart.


    Master, I, Old Black, have always been loyal.


    "Hahaha!"


    The Azure Python in the wind laughed out loud.


    "Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and go to work. I still have something to talk to you about after I finish my work."


    After laughing for a while, Lu Feng''s face became serious as he spoke.


    The Azure Python was stunned, then immediately remembered what Lu Feng said before entering the Spirit Vein Cave. It immediately responded and ran off to work.


    The Azure Python was looking forward to the Blood Pact Mandate and the Alchemy Refinement Method that Lu Feng had promised to teach it.


    After the Azure Python went to work, Lu Feng used his Spiritual Sense to examine his Dantian.


    When he saw that round golden core, Lu Feng felt that this trip was not in vain. Obviously, the current Lu Feng had not only entered the Aurous Core stage, but also comprehended the true effects of the absolute heavenly body. At the same time, he also discovered a method to strengthen the soul.


    However, Lu Feng also understood that although this method of soul strengthening was very effective, it was not a common method. This was a method of killing.


    Although Lu Feng''s cultivation system was not like that of the Western Sect, where karma and karma were important, it was still an indisputable fact that it was very easy to have karma with one''s death.


    You don''t know what it''s like," he said.


    Cultivators had to follow certain rules. For example, it wasn''t the right path to kill someone for no reason at all.


    The reason why Lu Feng did not hesitate to attack and kill the entire Whirlwind Wolves was because the Whirlwind Wolves had joined the fray in front and rebelled. They had even almost killed Lu Feng''s mount.


    Therefore, Lu Feng had no qualms about killing them.


    And if Lu Feng were to simply go on a killing spree in the Green Cloud Mountain in order to repair his own soul, it would be extremely easy for him to increase the power of his Heavenly Tribulation and increase the difficulty of it.


    Moreover, in that case, Lu Feng might very well fall into the Devil Dao.


    As a person of two lifetimes, Lu Feng still paid attention to such matters.


    Of course, this did not mean that Lu Feng could tolerate the provocation of others. Not only did he not step in and punish them, he even had to repay the kindness with some sort of retribution.


    What Lu Feng believed in was always to repay a grievance straight away and repay a virtue with virtue.


    Just when Lu Feng was imagining things, the Azure Python had already collected all the wolf corpses, including the seven wolf clan leaders at the end of the valley who were at or above the late stage of the Xiantian realm.


    After doing all that, the Azure Python ran in front of Lu Feng, looking at him expectantly.

 C85 Formations and Flying Swords

    Towards the Azure Skysnake Python''s hungry eyes, Lu Feng naturally understood its meaning.


    After that, Lu Feng taught the Azure Python the Blood Pact Method and the Aurous Core Method, and told it to go to the side to cultivate.


    Next, Lu Feng began to consider how to use the valley.


    Regarding the Spiritual Pulse at the end of the valley, Lu Feng still valued it a lot. Moreover, the valley was quite large, and there were all sorts of outputs within it.


    After reaching the Aurous Core stage, Lu Feng could use the simple Wind Controlling Technique. However, his speed was not as fast as the Azure Python''s.


    After flying above the valley, Lu Feng looked at the terrain beneath his feet and continuously tried to come up with a plan.


    In the end, Lu Feng decided to set up the Two Elements of Dust Formation again at the entrance of the valley. It would act as a great protective formation to obstruct those unrelated from spying on the valley.


    Moreover, the Dual Elements Dust Formation this time was much larger than the one in the cave. Not only the entrance to the valley had to be included, but the walls on both sides and the ceiling of the cave behind had to be included as the first line of defense of the valley.


    At the same time, Lu Feng decided to place a source locking array in the valley to lock all the spiritual energy that was emitted from the spiritual veins within the valley, preventing them from continuing to spread outwards.


    This way, as time passed, the density of spiritual energy in the valley would definitely reach a new height.


    After setting up the two formations, Lu Feng suddenly thought of something.


    The purpose of the spirit locking array was to prevent the release of spirit energy.


    The Two Elements of Appearance Formation was mainly for trapping and bewitching the enemy.


    Neither of these two had a very strong killing force. They were purely defensive and auxiliary formations.


    Then, he would need to lay down a true killing array. In case he encountered an opponent with high strength in the future, he could also lure them into the killing array and borrow the strength of the array to kill them.


    The killing array that Lu Feng was most adept at was the 365th circulation star array. It was a real combination of attack and defense type array, and it was also the array that Lu Feng was most proud of back then.


    However, to set up the 365th cycle of the Star Dou Qi Formation, it required 365 array flags. With Lu Feng''s current strength, even if he was able to refine it, it would still take a long time and effort.


    Helpless, Lu Feng turned his gaze to his old rival, the Family Magic Formation. It was the Twelve Deity''s Killing Formation of the Witch Clan, the most lethal formation in the entire Great Desolate World.


    Although the 12 Heavenly God Demon Array would also require 12 array flags, compared to 365 array flags, this was still much easier.


    Calling the Azure Skysnake Python over, Lu Feng taught it the method to enter and exit the Two Elements Dust Formation. If it had nothing better to do, it could go out and use the blood contract on a group of late stage Innate realm and above beasts to protect the valley.


    While the Azure Skysnake Python had been laying the array on Lu Feng, it had used Lu Feng''s Jindan refining method to absorb the essence of the heaven and earth. It felt that the speed of its cultivation growth was much faster than before, and it was thinking of going out to take a look.


    Now that the wind had sent it out to sweep the area, it was naturally very happy.


    "Master, what should I do with the magical beast territory''s treasures?"


    The Azure Skysnake Python asked, but it was actually planning on not letting go of those things.


    Of course, Lu Feng knew about the Azure Skysnake Python''s intentions, so he casually threw a few Qiankun bags to the Azure Skysnake, and Lu Feng said indifferently: "Take those ores and materials back in these Qiankun bags; if you have plant medicines, it would be best to transplant them."


    However, I don''t have any suitable magic treasures right now. If you find any precious herbs, you can transplant them back first. As for those normal magic treasures, wait for me to refine them into a suitable magic treasure to fit into the living plant, then you can go and collect them. "


    Because many spiritual medicines required a certain age before they would mature, or have better effects, Lu Feng had wanted to refine such a magical equipment for a long time. It was just that he did not have the time to do so.


    The Azure Skysnake Bull happily kept the Cosmic Bag. Following Lu Feng''s instructions, it went out to forcefully collect its little brother.


    Lu Feng, on the other hand, once again entered the cave and began to dig the various ores that were exposed on the walls of the cave.


    When he felt that the number of ores was about right, Lu Feng walked out of the cave, took out the Trinity Cauldron, and began to refine the array flag.


    In the process of refining the twelve array flags, Lu Feng had added a large amount of Gale Wolf Cores to increase the power of the array flags.


    After seven days of refinement, the 12 black array flags appeared in front of Lu Feng. Even though they were very far away, they still made people shiver with fear. It was as if the 12 array flags were nurturing vicious beasts that would devour humans.


    After refining the formation flags, Lu Feng did not place them into the Dual Elements Small Dust Formation. Instead, he kept them close to his body and prepared to temporarily set them up only when the valley was in danger.


    Furthermore, the formation flag was followed by Lu Feng. If Lu Feng were to meet an opponent with too much strength, Lu Feng would have a way to turn the tides and turn the tides.


    Soon after, Lu Feng began to refine a flying sword for himself. He used a large amount of Void Spirit Stones and Crimson Nimbus Gold, two ores found in caves. Lu Feng spent almost a day to refine a flying sword for himself.


    Looking at the inch-long scarlet sword in his hand, Lu Feng was overjoyed. In the future, he would not have to use any of his Soaring Land Techniques when he was on the road. As long as he put the flying sword in the air, he would be able to travel on it.


    Moreover, when facing an enemy, this flying sword was also a sharp weapon. One had to know that Lu Feng''s flying sword had reached the level of a Heaven Grade spiritual equipment. It was a magical equipment that was only second to the reverse scale armor.


    Of course, that was only at the level of a heaven-step treasure. It could grow into a treasure, and after all, it had cost Lu Feng a great deal of effort and rare materials to refine it. It had its own special characteristics.


    In the past few days while Lu Feng was refining, the Azure Python had swept across the territory and subdued a large number of its subordinates.


    By now, the surrounding thousand miles of the valley had been completely under the control of the Azure Python. Large numbers of magical beasts were stationed in all four directions, protecting the valley in the center.


    Not only that, the Azure Skysnake Python had even planned to head to the middle region of the Greencloud Mountain Range to see if it could subdue a few early stage yellow-ranked demonic beasts to increase its strength.


    However, Lu Feng had no choice but to temporarily put aside everything in the valley and return to Heavenly Star City. The monthly outer sect ranking competition was about to begin, and this was something that Lu Feng had been looking forward to for a long time.

 C86 Ranking Trial

    Calling the Azure Skysnake Bull over, Lu Feng instructed, "Old Black, I''m going back to the Heavenly Star Academy now. Have you found all the materials I asked you to help me with?"


    "I''ve found everything!"


    The Azure Python took out a Cosmic Bag, and poured out a few herbs and some ores, placing them in front of Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng glanced at it. It was exactly what he needed for his mission.


    With a wave of his hand, Lu Feng kept everything into the Tripod, and continued, "Old Black, after I leave, you can continue sweeping through the outskirts of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, but the important thing is to collect all the treasures. Don''t waste your resources by collecting so many useless lackeys.


    In the middle regions, it was best not to enter for the time being.


    Also, you can go to a distant place and forcefully capture a few more powerful Magic Beasts. Come and take care of the house for us. As for the ones around, let them temporarily stay in their own territory. "


    The Azure Skysnake Bull had only recently learned the art of blood contract, and was very excited to contract a large number of magical beasts.


    Although Lu Feng had told him to contract with someone above the late stage of the Innate realm, he did not even let go of someone at the middle stage of the Innate realm. By now, there were almost a hundred of his subordinates.


    "Yes, master!"


    The Azure Skysnake Python respectfully replied.


    After settling down the Azure Python, Lu Feng left the valley and took out his scarlet flying knife.


    The small flying sword, which was an inch in length, quickly enlarged in the air and turned into a foot-wide, meter-long broadsword. It floated in front of Lu Feng.


    Speaking of which, this was also Lu Feng''s bad taste. In order to improve the comfort of flying swords, Lu Feng specially forged such a huge sword that others would find unbelievable. Lu Feng felt that the materials spent on this were nothing to him.


    Lu Feng floated onto the flying sword and sat down in the lotus position. He formed a seal and directed the flying sword to soar high into the sky.


    On this flying sword, Lu Feng specially drew an enhanced version of the Gale Formation, causing the flying sword''s speed to be incomparably fast.


    Originally, Lu Feng had not been able to reach his destination even after running for half a day and a night. Under the flying sword''s flight, it only took less than an hour before he could see the tall city gates of Heavenly Star City.


    In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, they found a secluded area about one or two kilometers away from the city gate. Lu Feng rode his flying sword and dove down from the sky.


    After landing, Lu Feng kept his flying sword and walked in the direction of the Skystar Institution.


    For the return of the wind, Lu Hualei is quite happy.


    After some careful calculations, Lu Feng had left for almost half a month. During this half month, although Jiang Xin accompanied her, she would look at the empty courtyard every night and miss her brother.


    "Yah, brother, you''re finally back!"


    Upon seeing Lu Feng enter the yard, Lu Liru, who was cultivating, ran out of the house happily and grabbed onto one of Lu Feng''s arms as she spoke in a spoiled manner.


    "Lush, in the half month that I''ve been gone, have you ever slacked off?"


    Lu Feng didn''t have the slightest ability to resist the delicate and innocent Lu Lili. With just a casual question, he led her inside the house, as if she was about to hang on his body.


    "Brother, I am now at the peak of the Postliminary Realm.


    Right, big brother, big sister Jiang Xin has successfully broken through the bottleneck of the Pre-Sky Realm and became a Xiantian expert! "


    Lu Wei Rui was quite pleased with herself. She didn''t mind that Lu Feng had almost finished all of her tender tofu.


    "Oh? Jiang Xin had a breakthrough?


    With her natural talent, being able to break through so quickly is a natural thing to do. "


    Towards this news, Lu Feng''s reaction wasn''t as passionate as Lu Lului had imagined, but he only responded with a simple sentence.


    By this time, the two siblings had already entered the living room. Lu Lushui loosened her grip on Lu Feng''s arm and sat down at the table.


    "Brother, aren''t you happy for sister Jiang Xin?


    Don''t you understand the feelings that Big Sister Jiang Xin has for you? "


    Lu Lushui said anxiously to Lu Feng.


    "Wei Rui, you don''t have to say anymore.


    If I was fated to be with Jiang Xin, I would eventually get together with her. If I was fated not to be, then there was no point in saying anything now.


    You understand? "


    The wind stopped what Lu Lushui was about to say, and said this emotionlessly.


    "Brother, fate is so elusive, and you still have to rely on yourself to fight for it?


    Brother, I really like Sister Jiang Xin as my sister-in-law! "


    Lu Haoran also wanted to help Jiang Xin fight for a bit more.


    "Wei Rui, it''s not that easy to be your sister-in-law.


    Alright, I have to prepare for tomorrow''s trial. You should also go back to your room to prepare. "


    Without waiting for her to say anything, Lu Feng stood up and walked towards his room.


    That night, Jiang Xin, who had heard that Lu Feng had returned, also went to Lu Feng''s yard and cooked a table of good dishes with Lu Feng. Together, they had a cozy dinner.


    After dinner, the three of them discussed about tomorrow''s ranking test.


    The two girls were full of longing for this exam. They wanted to see how high their strength would rank among the thousands of outer sect disciples.


    As for Lu Feng, he directly headed for the first place. With a thousand contribution points, he was still quite attractive.


    Seeing the two girls passionately discussing, Lu Feng also watched with interest, occasionally expressing his own views.


    The next morning, Lu Feng appeared in the Skystar Institution with the two ladies in tow.


    For a new disciple like Lu Feng, he had a good impression of the outer sect disciples. Not only had he provoked two of the four tyrants, he had also defeated the one hundred twentieth place outer sect disciple, Murong Feng. Just saying that he always had two charming beauties by his side was enough to make people remember him.


    While the passersby were discussing, the three of them arrived in front of the tower of trials.


    Looking at the seven-story pagoda in front of her, which stood in a separate square, Lu Yueru couldn''t help but wave her little fists. It was as if she was cheering herself on, but it also represented that Lu Feng had expressed his stance towards Jiang Xin. She said in a delicate voice, "Tower of Trials, we will definitely subdue you!"


    At this time, many outer sect disciples had already surrounded the tower of trials, especially those who had just entered the sect, they were all gathered here. The older disciples, on the other hand, had also been waiting for a long time for those who were dissatisfied with their previous rankings, or for those who had recently had a breakthrough.


    As time passed, more and more disciples rushed over. Everyone was discussing what kind of anticipation they had towards their rankings.


    However, what was interesting was that two distinct groups had formed between the new and old disciples. There was an obvious separation zone between the two sides, and it seemed as if they were not disturbing each other.


    What surprised Lu Feng the most was that Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengniang, who had conflicts with him, were all among the older disciples, and they were even pointing at the new disciples from time to time.


    However, it was unknown whether it was done on purpose or not, but both Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengniang purposely avoided the area where Lu Feng was.

 C87 Start of the Trial

    Suddenly, there was a commotion from the old disciples and all the disciples on scene couldn''t help but cast their gazes towards the entrance of the plaza.


    "Isn''t that Murong Feng?"


    "Yeah, I heard that a few days ago, he lost to a new disciple who just entered the sect. How embarrassing!"


    "You can''t put it like that. After all, Murong Feng was ranked 120 last time. People like us who aren''t within the top 500 can''t be provoked!"


    "I wonder if it will attack the top hundred this time?"


    "It''s very possible!


    Look, doesn''t Murong Feng''s aura seem to be even more calm and experienced than before? "


    "Yeah, the true qi seems to be more condensed around my body.


    "It seems that after that loss, Murong Feng has actually improved a lot!"


    "Yes."


    Amidst the crowd''s discussion, Murong Feng expressionlessly walked down the tower. He stood in a corner and looked as if he didn''t want anyone near him.


    At this moment, three more people walked in from outside the plaza.


    "Wow, isn''t that Jiang Kai and the others who are known as the outer court''s Iron Triangle?"


    "Yeah, did the three of them also come to participate in the ranking smelting trial?"


    "I remember last time, they were all ranked in the 60th place, almost making it into the top 50."


    "That''s right, Jiang Kai is ranked 60th, followed closely by Jiang Shen. The worst Jiang Chang is ranked 69th. The three of them are the true elites of the outer sect!"


    "With the three of them here, it looks like this ranking trial will be very exciting!"


    "Yes."


    After the three of them arrived, about a dozen more people came one after another, and no one continued to come.


    However, in the following dozen or so people, their popularity was obviously lower than the three people of the Jiang Clan, and it couldn''t even be compared to Murong Feng.


    From the discussions of the senior disciples, Lu Feng had a rough understanding that these three people of the Jiang Clan were brothers of the same mother and brother, and also rare triplets. Each of them was a cultivation genius, and their strength were all above the late Xiantian realm.


    However, it was a bit of a pity that the three of them had never entered the top 50.


    Of course, this was not to say that the three brothers were not powerful enough. On the contrary, since the three of them were siblings, they had also practiced a set of joint attacks, and in battle, they could almost link their minds together. Even a Yellow Rank master would have a headache when facing the combined attacks of the three brothers.


    Seeing that no one else had arrived, an outer court elder who was already waiting at the foot of the tower stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Disciple, today is the opening day of the once in a month tower of trials, which is also the competition for your ranking.


    Now, I am about to open the tower of trials.


    Before that, I must reiterate that for the first time, only twenty people will be allowed to enter the tower at the same time. After that, for every person that comes out, one person will be allowed to enter.


    Please maintain order and enter the tower in order.


    And your final results will appear at the top of the tower of trials.


    Alright, please line up and receive your number plates from me.


    After that, the trial will begin immediately. "


    As he spoke, the elder took out a handful of numbered cards. From the start, he had lined up all the way until he was out of the hundreds.


    After a short period of commotion, the disciples in the plaza quickly lined up in a neat line and took their number plates from the hands one after another.


    After all the plates had been issued, the elder put away the rest of the plates, turned around, and went to the base of the tower. He placed his hands on the door, channeled all the true essence in his body, and forcefully pushed.


    With a rumbling sound, the gate to the tower of trials opened.


    However, a thin layer of light instantly spread out, blocking everyone''s line of sight inside the tower.


    "Now, please enter the tower of trials for disciples from number one to twenty."


    After opening the door, the elder calmly turned around and said.


    The disciples who had previously obtained the number plates of the top twenty all came to the elder''s side, handed over the number plates in their hands, and walked into the pagoda.


    As the twenty people entered the light barrier, a huge number appeared on the outer wall of the tower ¡ª ¡ª 20. It was the number of people who had entered the tower.


    Very quickly, the number flashed and became 19. On the outer wall of the second floor, a large "1" appeared.


    "Ah?" "Someone broke through the first level and entered the second level so quickly?"


    Someone exclaimed in a low voice.


    Because the first batch of disciples to enter were mostly the old disciples, most of them had already reached the second floor, but there was still time.


    After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a disciple who was obviously not very strong suddenly appeared outside the tower.


    At the same time, a row of large words appeared on top of the tower of trials: Zhang Xiaogang, trial level 1, persists for an incense stick of time. Currently you are outside of the top 1000.


    Beside him was a huge curtain of light that densely recorded the rankings of all the disciples that had participated in the trial. However, it only displayed the top 1000 rankings, and the ones after that no longer displayed their names.


    Seeing this disciple come out, the elder signaled the disciple with number twenty-one to enter the tower while he himself continued to guard the tower''s entrance.


    As people went in and out, the smelting trial continued in an orderly manner. As for those disciples who had obtained better results, they often attracted the envious shouts of others.


    Very soon, it was Murong Feng''s turn.


    While the crowd was discussing, Murong Feng''s figure disappeared into the light.


    After Mu Rong Feng entered the tower, there were more people entering and exiting. However, the highest record so far was only up to the third floor.


    Suddenly, the crowd buzzed with noise and clamor.


    "Look, someone has entered the fourth floor!"


    "Truly amazing!"


    "Who could it be?"


    "I think it must be Murong Feng. Among all the people in the tower, he is the strongest."


    Furthermore, he used to almost pass the fourth floor. "


    "That''s right, Mu Rong Feng''s strength is quite decent. It isn''t strange for him to reach the fourth floor!"


    "Yes."


    Everyone was discussing and expressing their opinions.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng felt someone walking towards him. He couldn''t help but turn around to look.


    The one who came before Lu Feng was the eldest of the three Jiang brothers, Jiang Kai.


    "Are you the Lu Feng kid from Greencloud City?"


    Jiang Kai carelessly said to Lu Feng, as if he did not put Lu Feng in his eyes at all.


    "That''s me!


    Which onion are you? "


    Lu Feng did not back down in the slightest.


    Lu Feng''s words made Jiang Kai''s expression change, "Very good, you brat!


    I just don''t know if I have any hard goods.


    How about it? Do you dare to compete with me?


    You can choose any time and place you wish! "


    Jiang Kai arrogantly said to Lu Feng.


    "If you want to challenge this young master, you have to first announce your name. You are a nameless rat, yet you dare to act presumptuously in front of this young master?"


    Lu Feng coldly snorted, and said expressionlessly.


    "You!"


    Jiang Kai''s expression froze as if he couldn''t believe that Lu Feng would dare to talk to him like that. He pointed at Lu Feng.


    "Good, you have guts!


    Listen up, I''m the eldest of the three Jiang brothers. My name is Jiang Kai, and the ones over there are my younger brothers, Jiang Shen and Jiang Chang.


    I am challenging you on behalf of us three brothers, let''s see if you dare to accept now?


    "Kid, let me inform you in advance, when we are facing the enemy, we will all be fighting together. If our opponent is one person, we are also brothers; if our opponent is a hundred or ten thousand people, we are also brothers!"


    "Oh? Brother, do you want to advance or retreat together with me? "


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    "That''s right!"


    Jiang Kai nodded his head arrogantly.


    However, what Lu Feng said next did not make Jiang Kai vomit blood.


    "I just don''t know if when you get married and enter the bridal chamber, will you all come at once?"

 C88 Land Winds Trial

    "You!"


    Jiang Kai was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed his finger at Lu Feng and said with hatred, "Kid, you have a sharp tongue!"


    Unexpectedly, Lu Feng followed up with another sentence: "This tower only allows one person to enter at a time, so wouldn''t that mean that you guys can''t even move your hands and feet?"


    Jiang Kai forced himself to calm down. Now was not the time to teach Lu Feng a lesson.


    "Brat, don''t hesitate to use your words. I just don''t know if your words are as eloquent as yours!"


    Jiang Kai harrumphed coldly.


    Sensing the anger in Jiang Kai''s tone, Lu Feng also felt a bit annoyed. He had never offended anyone of the same kind as him. So, why did he have to come and find trouble with him one after another?


    Or could it be that these three were being ordered to act as cannon fodder?


    Coincidentally, Lu Feng had recently broken through and wanted to find someone to test his skills. The appearance of the Jiang Clan''s three brothers could be considered as a good solution to his needs.


    However, Lu Feng''s usual attitude towards those who came knocking on his door to get a beating was to ruthlessly ravage them and never get used to their ailments!


    "After the trial is over, I will inform you of the time and place!"


    "Now, scram!"


    Lu Feng shouted as he pushed Jiang Kai back two steps due to the strong aura. Jiang Kai then stood firmly on his feet.


    Looking around at the disciples who seemed to be unaware, Jiang Kai discovered with some fear that Lu Feng''s control over his aura seemed to have reached a new level, far beyond what he could compare with.


    However, Jiang Kai changed the subject. He was brothers after all. He didn''t believe that he would be unable to deal with a kid who had just entered the sect.


    "Fine, I''ll wait for you. I''ll wait for you to kneel and beg for mercy!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Laughing loudly, Jiang Kai turned around and walked towards his two younger brothers. He wanted to discuss some countermeasures with his younger brothers as soon as possible.


    The exam was still going on in an orderly manner. Numerous outer sect disciples were entering and exiting the light screen, constantly refreshing their respective rankings.


    Finally, it was Lu Feng and the other two''s turn.


    Lu Feng and Jiang Xin, as well as Lu Yueru''s number plate, were right next to each other. Therefore, entering the tower was also a matter of priority.


    After watching Jiang Xin and Lu Yueru enter the tower of trials, Lu Feng waited for a little while longer. Soon, it was his turn.


    Walking to the elder''s side, Lu Feng handed over the number plate in his hand and walked towards the light screen.


    As if passing through a thin film, Lu Feng entered a very mysterious space.


    He was on a huge plain. There was nothing on the plain. The sky above his head was pitch black, and there was not even starlight.


    Just as Lu Feng was about to move, a row of shadows of weapons appeared before him. Sabers, swords, axes, tridents, everything that could be said to be there.


    Lu Feng tried to sense it, but the Tripartite Cauldron in his hand had already lost its ability to sense.


    Yes, this must be the sect deliberately entering to farm rankings to prevent disciples from carrying powerful artifacts and weapons, which is why they used this method of isolating storage treasures and preventing them from being brought into their personal weapons.


    However, to Lu Feng, this method of isolating cheating was equivalent to a fake. This was because Lu Feng''s most powerful magic treasure was definitely not something that could be excluded by this method.


    With the name of the Primal Chaos Bell, even though it wasn''t at its peak state, if it was blocked by a formation of this level, then his name as the primordial treasure of the Primordial Era could be given to someone else.


    Of course, it was impossible to use the Chaotic Bell, Lu Feng, in this sort of trial and error. That was simply too much of a bully, even though Lu Feng still desired to get first place.


    Glancing at those weapons, Lu Feng replied, "Sword!"


    In the next moment, a ranked sword appeared in Lu Feng''s hand. The other phantoms disappeared before Lu Feng''s eyes like bubbles.


    Feeling the longsword in his hand, Lu Feng couldn''t help but laugh. It seemed that the sect really wanted to let their disciples have a fair fight. The longsword in his hand, other than its sharpness and toughness, had no other special characteristics.


    After weighing the longsword in his hand, Lu Feng casually walked forward.


    Suddenly, a figure quickly appeared ten meters away from Lu Feng and started to gather.


    Very soon, a person holding the same sword appeared in front of Lu Feng. However, this person''s face was completely black, and it was impossible to distinguish his facial features from his nose and mouth.


    Carefully sensing the aura of the person, Lu Feng was slightly surprised. Other than the fact that he had no facial features, the person''s aura was almost exactly the same as Lu Feng''s. They were all obscure and hard to understand.


    It seemed that this was a formation, or perhaps the tower of trials itself, that had read Lu Feng''s strength. The strength that it had created was the exact same as Lu Feng''s fictional warrior.


    "Interesting!


    Beat yourself up? "


    Lu Feng smiled faintly. His figure suddenly charged forward and threw the long sword in his hand to the ground behind him.


    Rushing forward, Lu Feng threw a simple punch towards the black robed warrior''s face.


    Since the most powerful skill was the Heaven''s End Tyrant Body, Lu Feng couldn''t be bothered to use any other martial skills. He decided to have a hearty battle.


    Perhaps he had sensed Lu Feng''s inner thoughts, the black clothed warrior also threw away the long sword in his hand and threw a punch at Lu Feng''s fist.


    Boom!


    The two fists collided, and a tyrannical shockwave swept out from the two of them, causing the entire space in the pagoda to tremble.


    "Again!"


    Lu Feng shouted as he threw out another punch.


    The black-clothed warrior was also unwilling to be outdone, and he also threw a punch.


    Boom!


    The two fists collided once again.


    In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Lu Feng had been exchanging blows with the black robed martial artist. There were no tricks nor were there any changes.


    "Hahaha!" "Awesome!"


    When the fight was over, Lu Feng couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    The confrontation between Lu Feng and the black robed warrior lasted for more than an hour.


    During this period of time, Lu Feng''s understanding towards the absolute tyrant body had gone up a level. His cultivation had not increased, but his utilization of his true essence and strength had clearly been strengthened.


    "It''s time to go to the next floor!"


    Lu Feng smirked. With a wave of his right hand, the long sword on the ground suddenly appeared in Lu Feng''s hand. With a wave of his wrist, a large head flew up into the air.


    As the black robed warrior disappeared, one white and one gold, two rings of light appeared in front of Lu Feng. Above the white circle of light, the word "exit" could be seen, while on the golden circle of light, the word "lower" could be seen.


    Lu Feng understood. This was a choice to make, to stop here or to continue the next level of the trial.


    Without any hesitation, Lu Feng stood on the golden circle of light.


    The next moment, the land wind appeared in another space. It was the same vast, same desolate, same pitch black sky.


    Not far away, two similar figures were rapidly materializing.

 C89 A Different Kind of Challenge

    Seeing two silhouettes congealing, two black clad martial artists appeared before them. Lu Feng once again threw away his longsword, both of his fists striking out towards the two.


    This time, the two black clad warriors still chose to throw away their long swords to clash with Lu Feng.


    Another hour passed, and Lu Feng laughed out loud again. He drew out his sword, wanting to use the same method to kill the two black clad warriors and continue on to the next level.


    Unfortunately, the two warriors seemed to have suddenly become clever. They both drew their swords and blocked Lu Feng''s sword.


    "Interesting!"


    Lu Feng was overjoyed. If he were to fight with the two black robed warriors again, it would be good to practice his swordsmanship.


    In his'' past life '', Lu Feng had almost never used any other weapons except the Chaos Bell above his head. However, this did not mean that Lu Feng was unfamiliar with other weapons.


    In fact, as the number one person under the Saint level, how could the Eastern Emperor not know how to use conventional weapons?


    However, at his level, everything could be used as a weapon.


    As one of the best in terms of strength, Taiyi''s almost invincible body was the best weapon. Normal Protocosmic spirit-treasures were simply unable to break through his physical defense.


    However, after reincarnating and rebirth, although Lu Feng possessed the absolute body of one in a thousand, he was no longer the body he was before. He was still unable to ignore the sword and blade.


    One could tell this point from the wounds that the Whirlwind Wolves below the middle stage of the Innate realm could easily leave on Lu Feng''s body back in the Spirit Vein Valley.


    In addition, Lu Feng had also refined a flying sword to be used as a tool for him to go against his enemies in the future. It was necessary for him to practice his swordsmanship.


    What surprised Lu Feng was that the two black robed warriors had inherited Lu Feng''s original sword skills. When he used that sword technique, it was almost to the point where he could not bear to look at it directly.


    Seeing this situation, Lu Feng could no longer hold any interest in practicing his sword techniques. He found an opening, and with one sword stroke, he cut off two heads, successfully passing through the second floor.


    After entering the third floor, Lu Feng only had two hands left. He could only fight with the two men in black, but the other one had no way of dealing with him.


    Lu Feng thought for a moment and decided that training his endurance ability would be a form of training for the Tyrant body. He wanted to see if the Heavenly Tyrant body trained by the Demon Emperor''s Shuntian Art would be able to reach the desired level of strength.


    After making up his mind, Lu Feng once again threw away his long sword and rushed up. He let the first black-clothed warrior fight against the second and the third, and let the first iron fist continuously hit his back.


    For a time, a rare spectacle appeared on the third floor of the tower of trials. Three black clad martial artists stood in a line, surrounding Lu Feng in the middle and repeatedly punching him heavily.


    As for Lu Feng, he firmly stood there, waving his fist to meet the two black robed warriors in front. He ignored the one behind him and let him hit him however he liked.


    If a sect elder saw this scene, he would definitely shake his head. How was this still just passing the trial? This was simply a fight between hooligans on the street.


    On the third floor, Lu Feng spent nearly two hours before he satisfactorily finished this trial. He eliminated three black-clothed martial artists and went to the next floor.


    At this time, outside of the tower of trials, Murong Feng had already left. He still couldn''t pass the fourth floor and had to stop before the fifth floor.


    However, compared to before, his grades had improved quite a bit.


    Relying on how long he had persevered, Mu Rong Feng was finally able to reach the 95th place. He was finally ranked in the top 100.


    After leaving the tower, Murong Feng took a look at his ranking and walked towards the corner of the plaza. He stood there silently without any intention of leaving, as if he was waiting for something.


    Not long after Murong Feng left the tower, Jiang Xin and Lu Lului walked out one after the other. Their first time participating in the tower''s trials, both of them had relatively decent results. Jiang Xin was in the 500th place, while Lu Lulong had just entered the top 600.


    The two girls were quite satisfied with their own results. They had both rushed to the third level, and were unable to make it out of the encirclement of three black clad warriors who were of similar strength to them.


    Scanning the crowd, the two girls did not find Lu Feng. They knew he was probably still in the trial, so they did not pay much attention to him. They gathered together and chatted.


    Who knew that the two girls would wait for one or two hours?


    This was also Lu Feng''s joy when he saw this. He could not help but take those black robed warriors as training partners, constantly tempering his absolute tyrant body.


    Seeing that the number of people in the square was decreasing, the two girls couldn''t help but become anxious.


    At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look, another person has entered the fourth floor!"


    The two girls looked up and indeed, the fourth layer''s outer wall lit up again. A large "1" word appeared on it.


    The two girls were somewhat puzzled. With Lu Feng''s strength, he shouldn''t be so slow. Could something have happened?


    Unlike others who were guessing who had entered the fourth floor, the two girls didn''t even think before placing this glory onto Lu Feng.


    "Little sister Lili, don''t worry. Your brother will be fine!"


    Jiang Xin saw that Lu Lushui''s face had turned pale, so she grabbed her little hand and comforted her.


    "Sister Jiang Xin, why is Brother so slow this time?"


    Lu Lushui said, still a little worried.


    "Ha ha-ha, so far no one has been to the fifth floor. It seems like this year''s new disciples'' strength isn''t very high!"


    A burst of arrogant laughter suddenly rang out.


    Everyone looked towards the source of the laughter. The person laughing was the second brother of the three Jiang brothers, Jiang Shen.


    Seeing that everyone''s gaze was focused on him, Jiang Shen smiled and said, "Big brother, third brother, it''s almost time for us brothers. How about it? Bring out some strength so these rookies can experience the might of our three brothers?"


    "Second brother, I don''t understand. What''s so good about that new disciple, Lu Feng?


    He hadn''t come out after entering the tower for such a long time. It couldn''t be that he was slowly wasting time inside?


    "Hahaha!"


    The third brother, Jiang Chang, was even more arrogant and loudly ridiculed Lu Feng.


    "You!"


    Hearing that they were slandering Lu Feng, Lu Lulong was unable to contain her anger. In her eyes, Lu Feng was an omnipotent existence. How could she allow others to insult him?


    At that moment, Lu Liru wanted to go up and argue with the three Jiang brothers.


    Just as Lu Lushui was about to move, she was stopped by Jiang Xin, who was standing beside her. She looked at Jiang Xin with a puzzled expression, only to see Jiang Xin shake his head at her, indicating that it was better to not cause trouble.


    "Humph!" "Wait for brother to come out, I will definitely teach them a good lesson!"


    Lu Lushui gave a soft humph, but stopped in her tracks as well. This really wasn''t the time to be so fussy.


    "Number two, number three, it''s our turn. Come on, let''s enter the tower!"


    Eldest Brother Jiang Kai shouted as he walked into the tower.

 C90 Jiang Xins Heart

    As the three Jiang brothers entered the tower, the small square outside once again quieted down.


    "Look, the three Jiang brothers are so fast. They passed the 1st level so quickly!"


    Suddenly, someone exclaimed.


    Everyone looked up and sure enough, the number of people in the first level had decreased by three. The number of people in the second level had increased by three. It had only been a few breaths of time.


    It was obvious that the ones with such quick movements were the three Jiang brothers who had just entered the tower. Only those who ranked in the 60th place would have such fast movements.


    "The strength of the Jiang Clan''s three brothers is truly amazing!"


    "Yes, he is indeed worthy of being in the top 100 rankings. He is truly formidable!"


    "Tell me, why do you think that newly initiated Lu Feng has such confidence to accept the challenge from the three Jiang brothers at the same time?"


    "Who knows? It''s normal for someone from a small place like Qingyun City to not know their place!"


    "You can''t put it that way. Murong Feng won''t be able to fight back against Lu Feng!"


    "Lu Feng hasn''t come out of the tower for so long. It looks like his strength isn''t that great!"


    "Otherwise, he would have long since rushed to a higher level, and wouldn''t be like now where there''s only one person on the fourth floor."


    "Do you think the person on the fourth floor could be that Lu Feng?"


    "I think there''s a 80 to 90% chance it''s true. That kid is quite skilled."


    "Nonsense? Without any strength, he dared to accept the challenge from the three Jiang brothers? "


    "What do you guys think? Lu Feng doesn''t seem to have any connections with the three Jiang brothers, right? "Why would the three Jiang brothers suddenly issue a challenge to him?"


    "In my opinion, there must be a reason behind this. Maybe he was ordered by someone."


    "Yes."


    While everyone was speaking, the numbers outside the tower had changed twice. If nothing unexpected happened, the three Jiang brothers should have entered the fourth floor.


    Seeing the big "4" on the fourth floor of the outer sect, Lu Lului became even more anxious, "What is big brother doing?" Why does each level take so long? "


    "Lush, since Lu Feng is doing this, there must be a reason for him. We just need to wait patiently."


    Jiang Xin continued to console Lu Yueru.


    However, while comforting her, Jiang Xin also felt a feeling of inferiority deep down in her heart, which was slowly growing.


    She, Jiang Xin, was known as the number one genius in the Greencloud City. She had been known as the number one genius in the city.


    However, after encountering the wind, she began to experience the ups and downs of her life.


    First, he was spied on by Lu Feng, and now he was met with the rejection of the marriage by the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Even though, from the looks of it, the peeping of Lu Feng had been a conspiracy, it was an indisputable fact that Jiang Xin''s reputation had been tarnished.


    Afterwards, Lu Feng''s performance ¡ª whether it was defeating countless young talents in Greencloud City, killing the City Lord''s Mansion''s Elders and reverends, rescuing his father, etc. ¡ª all of these made Jiang Xin feel like he was at a disadvantage.


    When they arrived at Heavenly Star City, the feeling became even stronger.


    Unknowingly, there were four more Yellow Rank Demonic Beasts added onto Lu Feng''s team. He was a true Yellow Rank expert. In the history of Greencloud City, there had never been one that could be found locally.


    In other words, as long as Lu Feng wanted to, he could easily wipe out any force in the city. Be it the City Lord''s Mansion or the three noble families, he would have no chance against any demon beast.


    It was one thing for Lu Feng to have this kind of power. However, Lu Feng''s personal strength was quite impressive as well.


    Li Li, who was able to follow the evil side of the rich family like Li Yunzhi and be a follower for a long time, had his outstanding abilities. But even so, Lu Feng still crippled his arm in one move.


    Mu Rong Feng was just like a child of heaven. He was ranked within the top 100 in the outer sect. Even if he used his full strength, he still wouldn''t be a match for Lu Feng. Jiang Xin couldn''t accept this.


    Jiang Xin had finally broken through to the Xiantian realm. Originally, at her age, this was already quite a feat, but facing Lu Feng, she couldn''t even feel a tinge of pride. What she felt was only a deep sense of distance.


    Even Jiang Xin himself didn''t know when exactly this happened, but Lu Feng''s figure had already been deeply embedded in her heart.


    Perhaps, when Jiang Tianlei had brought up the matter of how he wanted Jiang Xin to marry Lu Feng, the shadow of Lu Feng had begun to form in Jiang Xin''s heart.


    At this point, Jiang Xin realized with some fear that she had fallen in love with the feeling of being by Lu Feng''s side and being protected by him.


    However, the rapid growth of Lu Feng had forced Jiang Xin to conceal her thoughts.


    Yes, inferiority!


    This feeling of never having been experienced by Jiang Xin was unavoidable when she was up against the wind.


    In Jiang Xin''s eyes, Lu Feng was so outstanding, so extraordinary.


    As for him, other than his natural beauty, what else could possibly catch Lu Feng''s eyes?


    Could it be that I, Jiang Xin, will eventually be reduced to the shape of a vase?


    Jiang Xin often asked herself this.


    No, I will not allow myself to become like that!


    In the face of such a delicate and innocent Lu Ruorui, Jiang Xin often felt sorry for herself, as if she were even inferior to Lu Yueru, the maid of Lu Feng.


    Compared to Lu Liru, who lived a simple life, Jiang Xin didn''t want that kind of life.


    As long as she could stay by Lu Feng''s side, she would be completely satisfied. She would not think about anything else.


    As for Loulan Slash, all of her problems were handled by Lu Feng, including food, lodging, training, guards, and so on.


    Lu Feng, looks like it''s time to find a chance to temporarily leave you. Otherwise, how will I be able to follow your footsteps in the future?


    Jiang Xin made up her mind.


    Speaking of which, Jiang Xin could totally give up on Lu Feng and look for her own life.


    However, human feelings were just that strange. Once they were given, they would be unable to extricate themselves. It was like a moth flying into a flame, their bodies crushed into pieces without any complaints or regrets.


    After making up his mind, Jiang Xin calmed down and accompanied Lu Yueru. She patiently waited for the wind to blow out of the tower.


    "Look, someone has entered the fifth floor!"


    Some disciples, who had been paying attention to the changes in the tower, shouted.


    It turned out that when Lu Feng reached the fourth floor, he switched to a different fighting style and it was still a simple exchange of blows. However, Lu Feng was using his own movement techniques and constantly moving between the four black clad warriors.


    However, Lu Feng soon became embarrassed.


    He realized that he was running out of time.


    The opening of the tower of trials only took one day.


    And with Lu Feng''s current progress, not to mention challenging him to clear the level, he might not even be able to clear the fifth level.


    Therefore, Lu Feng took care of the four opponents on the fourth floor as fast as he could, and was the first one to reach the fifth floor.

 C91 Clearance?

    "Look, someone has reached the fifth floor!"


    Suddenly, someone pointed at the tower of trials and shouted.


    Everyone looked up and saw the fifth outer wall of the tower light up for the first time today. A huge "1" word was flashing on the outer wall.


    There was a moment of silence during the time it took to boil a kettle of tea.


    Suddenly, as if a whirlwind had suddenly appeared, everyone began to discuss amongst themselves.


    "Do you guys think that the eldest son of the Jiang family has broken through to the fifth floor?"


    "That''s unlikely, right? The three of them just went up to the fourth floor, so they shouldn''t be that fast, right? "


    "That may not be the case. What if one of them suddenly breaks out?"


    "That''s right, could it be that Lu Feng, who had been lingering on the fourth floor for a long time, suddenly had luck and managed to defeat an opponent on the fourth floor and rush to the fifth floor?"


    "It''s not impossible!"


    "Have you guys noticed that Lu Feng is in the first few levels, and every level seems to have dragged on for a long time?"


    "Yeah, with so many disciples coming to train, he probably spent the longest time there. I wonder what he''s doing inside?"


    "Looking at Lu Feng''s previous actions, he is indeed an eccentric person!"


    "Hey hey, have you guys noticed that there''s only one person on the fifth floor after such a long time?"


    "That''s right, the Jiang Clan''s three brothers'' strengths are about the same. The time to pass the test shouldn''t be too far off. It seems like the one on the fifth floor right now is really that Lu Feng."


    "He''s really a talent for dawdling around in the tower for so long!"


    "Yes."


    Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were filled with disdain.


    Amongst the crowd, Jiang Xin and Lu Yueru were looking at the tower with faces full of anticipation. In their hearts, the one who was fighting on the fifth floor was, without a doubt, Lu Feng.


    "Look, another person has reached the fifth floor!"


    Amidst everyone''s attention, the outer wall of the fifth floor flashed again, and the number changed to a large "2".


    Before the crowd could speak, the number suddenly changed back to "1". At the same time, the wall on the sixth floor flashed with a sparkling blue light. Immediately after, it started to rapidly flicker, and a large "1" started to condense on the outside of the sixth floor.


    "Someone has reached the sixth floor!"


    "So powerful!"


    "The last time I saw someone going up to the sixth floor was a few years ago. I didn''t expect to see such a magnificent sight again!"


    "Starting from the fifth floor to the top, this person seems to have broken through the fifth floor in no time at all. He''s really amazing!"


    At this time, everyone''s attention was completely focused on the sixth floor. No one had noticed that the number on the fifth floor had quietly changed from three to three.


    Obviously, whether it was the Jiang Clan''s three brothers or Lu Feng, they were all on the fifth floor''s upper floor.


    Also, at this time, the tower below the fifth floor had all darkened. This also meant that besides the four people inside the tower, the other disciples had all completed their trials and gained their rankings.


    Now, everyone''s eyes were focused on the four people who were still in the tower, namely Lu Feng and the three Jiang brothers.


    Everyone had experienced the difficulty of the tower of trials before. Indeed, it was just as the old man had told them in the first class after entering. The opponents they faced were all black clad warriors who were exactly the same as their own strength and martial skills.


    In other words, the passing of the trial was actually just a continuous battle with him.


    In addition, the same amount of him would constantly increase.


    Take the third floor for example. Facing three people who were the same as him, there was no doubt about the pressure. What he knew was also what his opponent knew.


    It could even be said that at times, the black-clothed warrior was clearly a copy of himself. When it came to the use of certain martial skills, his skills were a lot more consistent, and he was much more outstanding.


    The only advantage that a disciple had in passing the trial was their flexibility. This was because a person''s mind was something that the tower couldn''t copy. Once there was a flash of inspiration, it would become the key to success or failure in passing the trial.


    This kind of trial method was an original technique of the Heavenly Star Academy.


    The so-called trial ranking was completely different from the true strength ranking. It was almost the same as the potential ranking.


    To be able to defeat several of himself, he seemed to be able to completely display the upper limit of a single disciple.


    Moreover, after battling with himself, it was very easy for him to discover the problem in his daily training. After a period of improvement, he could challenge himself again, and thus achieve the goal of continuously progressing.


    Roughly half an hour later, the Jiang Clan''s three brothers came out of the tower one after the other. On the outside of the sixth floor, the huge "1" character was still floating in the air and hadn''t changed since it had appeared.


    When the Jiang Clan''s three brothers left the tower, they all thought that this time they were able to last much longer than before. As long as they left the tower, they would definitely receive cheers from the crowd.


    The three brothers came out of the pagoda one after the other as they imagined everyone''s gazes of worship.


    To their disappointment, the cheers and praises that they had imagined did not appear.


    In fact, their appearance did not attract any attention at all.


    Doubtful, they followed everyone''s gaze and looked over. The three brothers were shocked. Someone had reached the sixth floor!


    Currently, the highest record for outer sect disciples was only at the sixth floor. Moreover, there was only one person, which was the current number one outer sect disciple ranking, Bei Zhiyuan. He was a very mysterious man.


    At that time, after going through dozens of challenges, Bei Zhiyuan had reached the sixth floor in one go. He had lasted for an incense stick of time before being defeated, but that was enough to establish his position as the number one disciple in the outer court.


    After so many years, he hadn''t thought that he would be able to see someone breaking through to the sixth level again today.


    Just as the three brothers were racking their brains to figure out who was so formidable, the crowd suddenly exclaimed in unison.


    The three brothers were shocked. They looked up and saw that the light on the sixth floor had disappeared, while the purple light on the seventh floor was slowly flashing.


    "What?" The seventh floor? "


    The three Jiang brothers were in a state of confusion. Just which supreme elder was this? He was simply a heaven-defying existence!


    The three Jiang brothers had the same thought as their gazes constantly swept across the crowd, seeing if they could find any clues about the people in the tower. At that time, they could try to get close with them.


    Suddenly, the three brothers simultaneously noticed that the two girls beside Lu Feng were still standing in the square, looking at the tower with anticipation and joy.


    An ominous premonition appeared in the hearts of the three brothers at the same time. Could it be that the one who had made it to the seventh level was that Lu Feng?

 C92 Clearance!

    Unlike the Jiang Clan''s three brothers who were conflicted, most of the people present looked at the matter of Lu Feng breaking into the seventh floor with a kind of wonder in their hearts.


    In their opinion, Lu Feng had nothing to do with them. Being able to enter the seventh floor was a representation of his strength.


    Moreover, from the looks of it, if Lu Feng could pass the test in one go, then he would be a witness to a miracle and that would be a great honor.


    To Jiang Xin and Lu Yueru, this was an absolute surprise. No one could have imagined that Lu Feng would perform so well.


    Of course, the mixed feelings in Jiang Xin''s heart could not be expressed through words.


    However, this seemed to confirm Jiang Xin''s thoughts.


    Regardless of the myriad of living creatures at the foot of the tower, Lu Feng, who was currently on the seventh floor, was still facing his seven duplicate black clad Knights.


    Realizing that there was not enough time left, Lu Feng purposely increased his speed from the fourth layer onwards.


    On the fifth and sixth floor, Lu Feng quickly finished off his opponents after adapting to the attacks of the black robed warrior, and then proceeded to the next floor.


    Now that they had reached the seventh floor, Lu Feng was no longer in a hurry.


    Before, Lu Feng was afraid that when the time came, he would be cleared out by the elders outside the tower.


    It didn''t matter now. Since he had reached the seventh level, his ranking should be very high.


    Moreover, this was the difficulty. Facing a black-clothed warrior whose strength was several times the same as his own, those who could enter the seventh level were all elites of the sect. Even if they were cleared out now, Lu Feng would still be proud of himself.


    Since that was the case, he might as well take this opportunity to have a good taste of the seven attacks. What kind of experience would it be to face them all at the same time?


    Moreover, from the sixth level, Lu Feng discovered a problem. Those copied black clad warriors seemed to be slightly different from the ones below, they weren''t the same moves after Lu Feng abandoned his sword. It was because when Lu Feng met with them, they didn''t even have a sword in their hands.


    In other words, the black clad warrior seemed to have made some progress in his intelligence. He knew how to display his strengths and was no longer a rigid imitator.


    After entering the seventh level, what he saw confirmed Lu Feng''s guess.


    Seven black clad warriors, four in the front and three in the back, slowly congealed around Lu Feng. Without saying a word, they attacked him.


    What surprised Lu Feng was that this time, the seven opponents seemed to be using a type of joint attack technique. Each of their moves were aimed at the place where Lu Feng had to be saved.


    Lu Feng was overjoyed. This was the sign of a battle!


    At this moment, Lu Feng was quickly circulating his movement technique and moving between the seven opponents. The effects of the Heaven''s End Tyrant Body was also being utilized to the fullest. After continuously dodging the vital points, he forcefully resisted the opponent''s attack.


    At the same time, Lu Feng''s hands also continued to shoot out, clashing head-on with the two opponents in front of him.


    As time passed, everyone in the plaza felt that what they saw was surreal.


    When Lu Feng entered the tower, he was still in the morning. However, the sun had already set and the sky was about to turn dark. Lu Feng, on the other hand, had yet to leave the tower.


    The crowd that had been looking up at the seventh floor all this time couldn''t hold out any longer. They looked forward to the miracle Lu Feng had created and gradually lost their patience. They gathered in groups of twos and threes and began to passionately discuss it.


    "What do you guys think Lu Feng''s body is made of? How can he have such a strong, durable battle power? "


    "That''s right. It''s been more than half a day since I entered the tower this morning. This guy can really hold on. He''s been fighting all this time!"


    "Do you guys think it''s possible that he would choose to recover for a long period of time after each pass before entering the next stage?"


    "I think that''s not right. We have all entered the tower, and after we pass a trial, if we don''t make a choice within the set time, the tower will automatically send them out.


    Previously, it was that person, Lee Gou Dan. Wasn''t it because he didn''t believe in evil and wanted to dawdle there, then he wasted this opportunity for nothing! "


    "Come to think of it, this Lu Feng is really scary. Even if he only ran around in the tower for such a long time, he would still be tired. How could he persist until now?"


    "Yeah, geniuses are indeed different from us mortals!"


    "Lu Feng has already been on the seventh floor for such a long time. It looks like there''s a high chance of a miracle happening today!"


    "For him to reach the seventh level is already a miracle in itself."


    Don''t forget, right now the top ranker on the rankings, Bei Zhiyuan, has only been on the sixth floor for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.


    As for the others, they weren''t even able to pass the fifth floor.


    This is sufficient to show that Lu Feng is extraordinary now! "


    "Right, I remember that the tower of trials will automatically close after the sun sets. Looks like Lu Feng won''t necessarily be able to clear it today?"


    "Pass?" How could it be so simple?


    Ever since the establishment of the Skystar Academy, only one person had managed to complete the trial.


    "From this, you can see how difficult it is to clear the level."


    "Without mentioning anything else, with Lu Feng''s current achievement of breaking through to the seventh level, he can be considered as the number one person in the outer sect."


    Moreover, for a very long time, he will not be challenged by anyone, unless Lu Feng enters the inner sect in advance! "


    "Yeah, a thousand contribution points. It''s really enviable!"


    "It seems that we need to train harder. Otherwise, we will be left behind by them."


    "That''s right. After the results are out, we''ll go back and cultivate!"


    "Yes."


    Just as the sun was about to set, a bright, colorful pillar of light suddenly appeared on top of the tower. A figure slowly appeared in the light and slowly ascended to the top of the tower. It was Lu Feng or someone else?


    At the same time, the hologram floating in the sky above the tower began to shine brilliantly. The name of the first place winner, Bei Zhiyuan, was replaced by the word "Lu Feng", which was emitting a seven-colored glow.


    Bei Zhiyuan''s name went down, but it was not as eye-catching as Lu Feng''s name.


    Soon after, a half-man-sized, pointy stone monument appeared on top of the tower. There were only four big words written on the stone monument, "Shangguan Mingde".


    Everyone in the Heavenly Star Academy had an impression of this name. It was the name of the senior who had first succeeded in clearing the trial tower several hundred years ago.


    After the stone monument appeared, the beam of light at the top of the tower suddenly shrank and arrived in front of the stone monument. It kept shaking up and down, as if it was carving something.


    A moment later, the beam of light exploded, transforming into a rainbow of light and dissipating into the air.


    On the stone monument, below Shangguan Mingde''s name, Lu Feng''s name had already appeared. It was the same rainbow of colors, the same colorful name.


    This also signified that the second genius in the history of Heavenly Star Academy had successfully cleared the trial tower.

 C93 Gambling

    As Lu Feng slowly descended from the light pillar, the entire tower of trials''s light gradually dimmed, once again returning to its previous calm state.


    After withdrawing the rainbow colored light from his body, Lu Feng returned to his normal appearance.


    Walking up to Jiang Xin and Lu Yueru, Lu Feng said, "Let''s go back."


    To be honest, Lu Feng did not feel much about his feat. It was just a pity that if he had enough time, or if he were to spend less time on the lower levels, then his gains on the seventh level would be much greater than this.


    However, this matter had already come to this. Lu Feng had nothing else to say. Since he had already done it, there was no need to regret it.


    Lu Feng seemed to have forgotten what had happened earlier. Lu Lulong hadn''t forgotten that even though the little girl seemed to be scheming on the surface, she was actually very smart and quick on the outside.


    Seeing that Lu Feng was about to leave, Lu Yueru intentionally furrowed her brows and said, "Big brother, I remember that you told me that I must fulfill my promise. Is this what you mean by saying I will do as you say?"


    Lu Feng curiously asked, "Did I say that?"


    But why do you mention this? "


    "Big brother, you''re right," she said, "or you''re wrong. This is good enough."


    Lu Feng looked dotingly at the little girl and said, "Of course you''re right. As a man, you need to stand at the top of the world. You cannot go back on your word if you say it."


    "Ha, that''s right!"


    Lu Lushui let go of Lu Feng''s arm and said excitedly, "Big brother, I remember that before the survival training began, you promised to compete with him.


    You didn''t forget about that, did you?


    I remember very clearly that you told me at that time that after the exam ends, you would determine the time and place of the match.


    "Therefore, big brother, I must remind you very seriously that you almost broke your promise."


    Seeing the little girl''s serious look and the crafty look in her eyes, Lu Feng suddenly realized that the little girl must have been annoyed by the three Jiang brothers. She was trying to drug him.


    "You, ah, it''s really hard for you to think so thoroughly for your brother."


    "Alright, I''ll follow your wishes and fight someone else."


    Lu Feng shook his head helplessly. Then, he brought the two girls and headed in the direction of the three Jiang brothers.


    With regards to Lu Feng''s feat of clearing the level in one go, the three Jiang brothers were a little stunned. They also felt a little regretful that they rashly went to challenge Lu Feng.


    With the talent that Lu Feng had displayed, he would definitely be the focus of the sect''s nurturing. Although the three brothers knew that their talents were not bad, they weren''t arrogant enough to be the focus of the sect''s attention.


    If they were to fight Lu Feng in this situation, they would not dare to injure him even without the interference of the sect elders. That would only infuriate the higher ups of the sect.


    Thus, when they saw that Lu Feng was about to leave the training field, the three brothers were secretly delighted. They thought that Lu Feng had forgotten the best choice.


    Unfortunately, the three brothers'' plan was in vain. Lu Lului, that little girl, hated them for not saying anything to Lu Feng just now, and had made up her mind to let Lu Feng teach them a lesson. That was why she purposely stirred up trouble at Lu Feng''s place.


    Seeing Lu Feng walk over, the three Jiang brothers were a bit confused. They believed that if the three brothers teamed up, they would definitely be able to defeat Lu Feng, but they did not dare to do so heavily.


    Simply put, the three brothers had no enmity with Lu Feng in the past, so there was no need to cause trouble for him.


    But since they had jumped out now, it must be because of something behind their backs. To put it bluntly, they must have been ordered to do so!


    Since they couldn''t injure Lu Feng now, then the fight had already lost its meaning.


    However, Lu Feng was already right in front of him. This meaningless battle seemed to be unavoidable.


    Very soon, Lu Feng arrived in front of the three Jiang brothers and calmly said: "The three of you, choosing the day is better than the day of collision. Why don''t we go to the arena right now and apply for a fight?"


    "Lu Feng, don''t be arrogant. Don''t forget, right now you are holding the title of number one outer disciple. Aren''t you afraid of losing to us three brothers? When that time comes, won''t you look good?"


    The eldest brother, Jiang Kai, had yet to figure out how to deal with Lu Feng when the third brother, Jiang Chang, jumped out from behind and shouted loudly.


    Jiang Kai''s heart skipped a beat. That''s right, although they were unable to severely injure Lu Feng and had met the requirements of the mastermind behind the scenes, if they were able to smoothly defeat Lu Feng, then the three brothers would become extremely powerful.


    Right, Lu Feng, don''t be so shameless!


    "At that time, if you lose to us three brothers, where will you put your face?"


    Lu Feng smiled faintly and said: "Where can I put my face? It seems like you three brothers don''t need to worry about it."


    What I''m curious about is, where did you guys get so much confidence from that I wouldn''t be a match for you? "


    Jiang Kai fiercely said, "Lu Feng, don''t think that just because you''ve cleared the tower of trials is that amazing!


    Let me tell you, this only means that your talent is extraordinary. It doesn''t mean that your strength is the best in the outer sect.


    Tianxing Academy is truly vast, and its talents are hidden far and wide. It''s like a crucian carp that has crossed the river. You think you''re so formidable just because of that?


    Let me tell you, in the eyes of true experts, you are not even fart! "


    Lu Feng laughed for real this time: "This young master has never said that he is the number one in the outer sect.


    On the other hand, if the three of you, together, are unable to defeat this Young Master, what do you say? "


    Jiang Kai paused for a second, then burst out laughing, "Lu Feng, I said you''re fat and you''re breathing too much?


    Do you really think that you are invincible in this world? "


    Lu Feng said, "Tell me who is the mastermind behind all of this. Or, give me some primeval stones or contribution points. Otherwise, this young master will not have the time to play a childish game!"


    Jiang Kai was stunned. Although the three brothers were all disciples of the outer sect''s hundred disciples, the contribution points they received each month was simply not enough for their cultivation.


    The reason why he came to deal with Lu Feng this time was because he had received great benefits from him. Thus, he was prepared to make an unexpected fortune.


    Right now, Lu Feng was clearly trying to gamble with them. This was a bit of a slap in the face. Who didn''t know that Lu Feng had won over Li Yunzhi and Zhao Fengnian by ten thousand contribution points a few days ago?


    "Lu Feng, since you want to bet, we can''t do it today. We need time to raise the stakes to be on par with you.


    I think you will agree to this request? "


    Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang had yet to come to a conclusion when Second Bro Jiang Shen suddenly spoke up.


    "Oh? "Then how long do you need?" Lu Feng asked.


    "Tomorrow.


    Tomorrow afternoon, at a quarter to eight, we will officially fight. What do you think? "


    Jiang Shen thought for a moment before raising his head to speak to Lu Feng.


    "Alright, then it''s a deal.


    Three minutes before tomorrow, this young master will be waiting for you in the arena! "


    Lufeng laughed heartily, turned around and left with the two ladies.

 C94 Peripheral

    "Wait!"


    Seeing that Lu Feng was about to leave, Jiang Kai hurriedly shouted and stopped him.


    Lu Feng stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked calmly, "What else do you guys have to say?"


    Jiang Kai said, "Lufeng, we still have one more problem that we need to solve right now.


    That is the question of bets on both sides.


    I wonder how much you, the number one person in the outer sect, want to bet? "


    Without waiting for Lu Feng to say anything, Lu Lulong said, "Since the three of you challenged my brother at the same time, it''s naturally impossible for the three of you to take only one bet.


    I think this way, my brother will give you 3,000 contribution points, and each of you will pay 2000 contribution points, allowing you to take advantage of him.


    "How is it? Is it enough to take care of you?"


    The expressions of the three Jiang brothers darkened. "You actually want me to do this?"


    Before the three of them could react, Lu Lulong waved her hands and said in a domineering manner, "Enough, you three poor bastards don''t have to worry about that. Hurry up and go collect the betting stakes.


    We''ll be leaving first. I don''t have time to waste with you three poor bastards. "


    Saying that, he turned around and dragged Lu Feng away, murmuring, "I hope you won''t lose your pants!"


    Looking at the departing figures of a man and two women, the three Jiang brothers'' faces lit up with excitement.


    Being called a pauper in front of others was the first time a girl had been called a pauper in the history of the Jiang Clan''s three brothers'' lives.


    No matter what, their Jiang Clan could not be considered a small clan in Heavenly Star City. Even though they couldn''t compare to Li Yunzhi''s Song Family and Zhao Fengnian''s Zhao Family, they were still much stronger than the Murong Clan.


    However, that little girl had already dragged Lu Feng far away. Even if they had something to say, they could only hold it in.


    In the end, the three brothers had no choice but to dejectedly find the mastermind and discuss how to deal with it.


    Who knows, this total of six thousand contribution points might really fall to the instigator behind the scenes. The three of them really couldn''t afford it.


    That night, Lu Feng displayed his might. The news of him successfully passing the first trial and seizing first place in the outer sect was spread throughout the entire Heavenly Star Academy.


    At the same time, another piece of news was also spreading: The top disciple of the outer sect, Lu Feng, was about to accept the challenge from the three brothers of the Jiang Clan, who were ranked 60-odd out of the outer sect.


    Moreover, this time''s fight was going to be a draw. In other words, both sides were actually gambling.


    As soon as the news got out, many people began to make their bets and accept their bets on both sides.


    As for this gambling match, most people didn''t think highly of Lu Feng. They believed that although he had ascended to the top with great strength, it didn''t mean that his strength had reached that level. Taking the initiative to accept the joint challenge of three famous experts, there was basically no chance of victory.


    As for the group of people who opened the betting booths, they did not seem to favor Lu Feng. From the start, they arranged a 1: 3 odds for Lu Feng. Correspondingly, the three Jiang brothers'' odds were 2: 1.5.


    The Skystar Institution didn''t prohibit this sort of external gambling house. Instead, they allowed it to go as it pleased. They even provided a notary service to the gambling house, presumably to enrich the entertainment life of the sect''s disciples, right?


    Moreover, this was not the first time for Lu Feng.


    In the history of the Heavenly Star Academy, such situations had occurred many times, but most of them happened during major events such as the sect competition. The reason why it caused such a sensation was mainly because of Lu Feng''s reputation as the new number one outer sect disciple.


    The next morning, Lu Feng still chose not to go to class. From his point of view, it was a complete waste of time.


    Lu Lushui and Jiang Xin, on the other hand, went to listen to the lecture as usual. For the current them, the knowledge taught by their teachers was quite enlightening. It could also be considered as helping to solidify their foundation for cultivation.


    On the way to the Martial Arts Lecture Hall, Lu Lului had heard a few words about the outlying gambling stalls and was very curious.


    Thus, after the class ended, Lu Yueru intentionally found a classmate who was familiar with her and inquired about the specific situation.


    After listening to the disciple recount the details, Lu Yueru''s interest was piqued. She pulled Jiang Xin along and rushed towards Lu Feng''s small courtyard.


    "Big brother, big brother."


    As soon as they entered the courtyard, Lu Lului shouted out loud.


    "What''s wrong? "Why are you in such a hurry?"


    Lu Feng came out of his room and asked nervously.


    Lu Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that both Liu Rui and Jiang Xin were still standing there.


    Loulan Slash didn''t notice the change in Lu Feng''s expression. She quickly walked up to him and said, "Big brother, I just heard a piece of news."


    Regarding your match with the three Jiang brothers, someone has already spoken out.


    Lu Feng asked in amusement: "That''s it?"


    Seeing you in such a hurry, I thought something big had happened!


    Gambling was a common disease in the world.


    It''s normal for people to open up betting booths. "


    "No, brother, that''s not what I meant.


    I mean, don''t you have any other ideas about how they look down on you? "


    She seemed to be afraid that Lu Feng would misunderstand her.


    "Should I?"


    Lu Feng asked.


    "Big brother, look, since they look down on you like that, your odds of redemption must be really high."


    Do you think we should go for the next bet? It''s also good to get some windfall money! "


    Lu Hua Rui was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Feng''s indifferent performance. She pouted as she looked at Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng laughed, "Little girl, you don''t seem to be that big of a person, but you actually have a lot of ulterior motives!


    "Are you that confident that I can beat the three Jiang brothers?"


    Lu Lili held onto Lu Feng''s arm and shook it continuously. She said in a spoiled manner, "Of course, whose brother are you?


    Yeah.


    Oh yeah, big brother, don''t interrupt.


    I just found out, your odds are now 1: 6.


    That is to say, as long as I bet a single contribution point on you, I will earn a total of six contribution points in return for a net profit of five contribution points.


    "Big brother, what a great business!"


    Lu Feng laughed even more happily, "You''re still a little money grubber?"


    "Brother, just tell me, do you agree or not?


    You have all the contribution points I need! "


    Lulu continued to grind the wind.


    "Suit yourself.


    Right, how much do you want to bet? "


    Lu Feng had an indifferent attitude towards this little game.


    "Let me calculate. We won a total of 7000 contribution points that time, so we basically didn''t use them during this period of time."


    That is to say, we still have more than 6,000 points.


    And if you were to fight the three Jiang brothers, the wager would be 3,000 contribution points.


    If that''s the case, we still have over 3,000 contribution points to use.


    Brother, how about I go and bet 3,000 points? "


    Lu Lushui adorably counted with her fingers.


    "Alright, it''s up to you!"


    Lu Feng said lovingly.


    In any case, this was a win-win gamble. It was also a pleasant surprise to earn contribution points and spend as much as possible.

 C95

    Receiving Lu Feng''s consent, Lu Weirui immediately smiled happily: "Big Brother, you''re really great!"


    With that, the little girl let go of Lu Feng''s arm, ran to her side, and said: "Big Sister Jiang Xin, since we will definitely win, do you want to bet?"


    "What, you don''t want to win by yourself, but you want to drag me along?"


    "You little girl, your gambling nature is not small!"


    Jiang Xin looked at Lu Weirui with a bit of amusement.


    Lu Weirui carried Lu Feng, quietly stuck out her tongue, and said to Jiang Xin in a low voice: "Big Sister Jiang Xin, don''t you have confidence in my brother?


    Let me tell you, this is your best chance to show off. "


    "What are you talking about?"


    Jiang Xin lightly patted Lu Weirui in embarrassment, but she couldn''t hide the joy in the corner of her eyes.


    "Forget it, I still haven''t touched those three thousand Contribution Points. Why don''t you take them out and go crazy with your little girl?"


    In the end, Jiang Xin was still unable to endure Lu Weirui''s training, and obediently surrendered.


    Seeing that he had finally convinced Jiang Xin, Lu Weirui ran over to Lu Feng and asked him for the three thousand Contribution Points, then pulled Jiang Xin along and ran.


    The two girls came to a gambling den set up at the entrance of the square.


    Although it was called a gambling house, it was actually just a table, with Lu Feng''s and Jiang''s Three Brothers''s real time betting rates on it respectively.


    To the surprise of the two girls, Zhao Fengnian was the one who presided over the gambling house.


    "Big Sister Jiang Xin, how could it be this bastard?


    "Could it be that this guy opened this gambling den?"


    Seeing Zhao Fengnian busy himself and accepting someone''s wager, Lu Weirui anxiously pulled Jiang Xin and said softly.


    Although Lu Weirui did not have a deep impression of Zhao Fengnian, it seemed to be even more unpleasant.


    The key point was that Zhao Fengnian had performed too poorly that day, pretending to be a good person, suddenly turning hostile, faking it, going back on his word, etc.


    "What is it? Are you scared? "


    Jiang Xin deliberately teased Lu Weirui, and said very quietly.


    "Humph!"


    Lu Weirui snorted, and unhappily stuck out his chest, and said: "Are you afraid of that tramp Three?


    If he dares to lose and not pay, I''ll let my big brother take care of him! "


    "Enough, I know you have a number one brother!" Hurry and stop presenting treasures here! "


    Jiang Xin joked to Lu Weirui.


    However, Lu Weirui still refused to accept it and said: "Let''s go, Big Sister Jiang Xin, let''s go bet, we should use all our strength to win against these kind of people''s Contribution Points."


    Saying that, she pulled Jiang Xin and walked forward.


    The two girls looked at the crowded crowd, and saw that they were all betting on the Jiang''s Three Brothers, but Lu Feng was not favored by anyone.


    Not long later, Lu Feng''s odds had already risen to a ratio of one to nine. What was even more outrageous was that Jiang''s Three Brothers''s odds were actually one to one, which was completely set as humiliating.


    The disciples who had come to place their bets, were still unrestrainedly mocking Lu Feng for overestimating her capabilities.


    As Lu Weirui listened on, writing obscenities, he almost bit his teeth to pieces.


    Finally, it was the two''s turn to place the bet. Lu Weirui handed over the identity card in his hand, and said with hatred: "Three thousand Contribution Points, bet on Lu Feng winning!"


    Hearing that someone was going to bet on Lu Feng, or rather, on such a large sum like the three thousand Contribution Points, the surrounding disciples, including Zhao Fengnian, all raised their heads in shock.


    "Hahaha, and here I was wondering who could be so powerful.


    It was Lu Feng''s sister, Miss Lu Weirui!


    Little girl, you sure have confidence in that brother of yours, who''s obviously just a misfortunate one! "


    Seeing that it was Lu Weirui, Zhao Fengnian immediately burst out laughing.


    "Who are you?"


    Lu Weirui asked in annoyance.


    Zhao Fengnian, on the other hand, did not have any self-awareness at all, and directly abandoned Lu Weirui, saying to Jiang Xin who was behind Lu Weirui with a fawning face: "Miss Jiang, are you here to place your bet as well?


    Let me tell you, betting on the Jiang''s Three Brothers means winning or losing.


    How about it? How much do you want to bet? "


    These few days, Zhao Fengnian had asked all around, and had already found out the background of Lu Feng and the others, and knew that they were young masters and young ladies from a small clan that came from Greencloud City, and also found out the names of the three people.


    However, Zhao Fengnian had never forgotten about it. Now that he had seen Jiang Xin''s pretty face, he immediately moved closer to her in a bewitching manner.


    However, Jiang Xin completely ignored Zhao Fengnian''s advances, directly stepped forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, held his own identity card, and said loudly: "Three thousand Contribution Points, bet on Lu Feng winning!"


    Just as Jiang Xin finished speaking, mocking voices came from all directions.


    "Are these two girls brain-damaged?"


    Such an obvious comparison of strength, they actually still want to bet on that Lu Feng fellow? "


    "Exactly! It''s such a beautiful face, so it''s made of gold and jade! "


    "What a pity, the two beauties are actually two idiots!"


    "Who doesn''t know that all of Jiang''s Three Brothers''s cultivation are at Peak of Innate Stage. If the three brothers join hands, even an expert at Yellow Stage would have to retreat.


    But now, a boy who had just entered the sect dared to accept all three of their challenges at the same time. This was simply courting death.


    There''s really someone betting on that kid to win? "


    "Zhao Fengnian can finally be considered to have struck gold this time, to suddenly earn six thousand Contribution Points, this is truly fortunate!"


    "We''re betting on the Jiang''s Three Brothers, are you guys letting them off just like that?


    Do you know? They live by slaughtering this kind of sheep. "


    "Yes."


    Amidst the crowd''s discussion, Lu Weirui''s face was flushed red and he asked loudly: You guys with the surname Zhao, are you going to accept it or not?


    Zhao Fengnian glanced at the two women gloomily and said: "Accept, of course I''ll accept. If I don''t accept the Contribution Points that has been delivered to my doorstep, wouldn''t I become an idiot?"


    "Humph, I''m afraid you won''t be able to pay that much!"


    Jiang Xin said to Zhao Fengnian, without showing any signs of backing down.


    Zhao Fengnian was so angry he almost vomited blood. Being completely ignored by the goddess that he had his eyes on, Zhao Fengnian was already sad enough.


    Now, however, the goddess had turned against him. Was there anything more tragic in this world?


    "Alright, since you two don''t know what''s good for you, and insist on giving me the money, then if I don''t take it, won''t that show that I, Zhao Fengnian, am lacking grace?


    Someone, help Miss Jiang Xin and Miss Lu Weirui to complete the betting procedures. "


    Immediately, Zhao Fengnian completed the betting procedures for his son and daughter, and officially accepted a huge sum of six thousand Contribution Points.


    After handing over the credentials representing the two girls to the two girls, Zhao Fengnian said sinisterly: "I''m afraid you two will be the ones to be disappointed in the end."


    Receiving the certificate, the two girls didn''t even bother to look at Zhao Fengnian, and turned to leave.


    It was late in the afternoon, and the square where the ring was located was already filled with a sea of people.


    And Lu Feng, accompanied by the two girls, very punctually appeared in the plaza.


    Almost at the same time, the figure of the Jiang''s Three Brothers appeared on the plaza.


    The competition was about to begin.

 C96

    Surrounding Jiang''s Three Brothers was a group of hedonistic sons led by Zhao Fengnian, many of whom had evil reputations.


    It looks like the reason why the Jiang''s Three Brothers was instigated to cause trouble for Lu Feng was definitely related to him. It might even be Zhao Fengnian himself.


    Seeing Zhao Fengnian''s appearance, Lu Feng''s expression did not change at all. She was still maintaining her cold and aloof attitude like before.


    Of course, Lu Feng was already on her guard against Zhao Fengnian.


    Speaking of which, the hatred between Zhao Fengnian and Lu Feng, was entirely due to Zhao Fengnian''s passion. In the end, he failed to do anything, and his plan was not successful, but he lost a large amount of Contribution Points s.


    Afterwards, Lee Yunzhi, who was originally the main organizer, seemed to have stopped working and never came back to cause trouble for Lu Feng again.


    From the looks of it, Zhao Fengnian had been jubilant lately.


    If Lu Feng guessed correctly, this Jiang''s Three Brothers should be the same as when Murong Feng was hired by Lee Yunzhi, they were secretly invited by Zhao Fengnian to attack him.


    Judging by the results of the Jiang''s Three Brothers s who were ranked around sixty in the entire Heavenly Star Academy, these three brothers were quite impressive.


    Adding on the fact that they were from the same mother and sister, as well as being proficient in joint attacks, they were indeed the most suitable person to deal with Lu Feng.


    Just that, he did not know how much of a price Zhao Fengnian had to pay to invite the Jiang''s Three Brothers.


    Furthermore, last night, Jiang''s Three Brothers said that he wanted to go back and collect the Contribution Points, so he should be asking Zhao Fengnian for it.


    The truth of the matter was actually just as Lu Feng had guessed.


    As one of the renowned evil youths of the Heavenly Star Academy, when he was passing by that day, he happened to see Lu Feng and the others who were being surrounded by Lee Yunzhi.


    According to Zhao Fengnian''s original plan, he wanted to pretend to be a brave passerby to help Jiang Xin and resist the villain, the Great Demon King Lee Yunzhi.


    Unfortunately, things did not go according to Zhao Fengnian''s plan. As a silkpants, he unconsciously revealed his seductive face when the pair went up against Jiang Xin. With Lee Yunzhi''s merciless exposure, his true appearance was completely exposed in front of Jiang Xin and Lu Feng.


    Zhao Fengnian''s plan did not work, he simply stood on Lee Yunzhi''s side and shamelessly requested to participate in it so that he could obtain a great beauty like Jiang Xin.


    In the end, Murong Feng was no match for Lu Feng in the competition. Not only did Zhao Fengnian fail to reach the goal of returning with a beauty, he even lost five thousand Contribution Points s and left dejectedly.


    After the incident, Zhao Fengnian had come to find Lee Yunzhi several times in order to, on one hand, bring back the five thousand Contribution Points with slim hope, and on the other hand, continue to deal with Lu Feng.


    But Lee Yunzhi didn''t know what was going on. Regarding the matter of dealing with Lu Feng, he didn''t mention anything at all, and everything else he said was fine. If he mentioned Lu Feng, he would immediately change the topic.


    He was so angry that Zhao Fengnian scolded him behind his back countless of times, calling him a coward.


    In the end, Zhao Fengnian, who was unforgettable to Jiang Xin, came to the Jiang''s Three Brothers alone and made a deal with him. The three brothers came forward to challenge Lu Feng and took the chance to seriously wound him.


    If he achieved this goal, then Zhao Fengnian naturally had countless of methods to deal with the Jiang Xin who had lost control.


    However, to the surprise of Zhao Fengnian and the Jiang''s Three Brothers, when Lu Feng reappeared after disappearing for half a month, it was already the time for the Outer Sect disciple trial to be ranked.


    Deep in his heart, Zhao Fengnian could not be missed. When he saw Lu Feng in the training grounds, he immediately sent someone to inform the Jiang''s Three Brothers, asking them to pretend to be here to participate in the trial as well as to challenge Lu Feng.


    In the end, Jiang''s Three Brothers did it, but it turned out that Lu Feng had won first place in the trial bravely.


    Under these circumstances, being able to heavily injure or kill Lu Feng had already become impossible.


    So, after knowing Lu Feng had requested for a bet, Zhao Fengnian just pushed the boat on the water. On one hand, he made up a lot of wager for the Jiang''s Three Brothers to bet with Lu Feng, and on the other hand, he planned for the night to set up a bet.


    Because of this, Zhao Fengnian had even specially invited a few inner disciples, as well as some guy with relatively rich Outer Sect, to join hands and take charge.


    In front of their group, although Lu Feng was a novice who had just entered the sect with great potential, her absolute strength was definitely not as good as the Jiang''s Three Brothers''s.


    However, Lu Feng was carrying a new record that stated she was Outer Sect''s number one. This was a very good gimmick, enough to tempt many people to place heavy bets on Lu Feng.


    This group of people were afraid that they would not be able to handle the situation well, so they set up a high betting rate for Lu Feng. They wanted to use this chance to earn a lot of money from Lu Feng.


    Speaking of which, this kind of bet that would only appear once every so often in a long time was very popular in the Heavenly Star Academy.


    When everyone was in the middle of training, they would occasionally encounter an opportunity to switch between their ingredients, which naturally made them very excited.


    Especially those who were short on money. This was a great opportunity for them to reap the rewards.


    As for losing, in the eyes of the gamblers, he was invincible. How could he lose?


    Of course, the gamblers were not idiots. When Zhao Fengnian and the others opened their mouths, someone immediately took out all of the information on Lu Feng.


    Thus, everything that Lu Feng did after she entered the sect was known to everyone.


    Actually, it wasn''t much. How long had Lu Feng been in the sect for?


    However, even the two matters of crippling and defeating Murong Feng were enough to cause quite a sensation, let alone clearing Tower of Trials in one fell swoop, becoming the second person in the history of Heavenly Star Academy.


    Of course, although Lu Feng was very strong, it was still not enough for those experienced gamblers to invest too much into him. On the contrary, everyone still looked favorably upon Jiang''s Three Brothers.


    As a result, a large part of the wager was completely invested in the Jiang''s Three Brothers. Although Lu Feng had also received a portion of the bet, the amount of people that had bet on him was much less.


    In the face of the surging one-sided bet, Zhao Fengnian and the others had no choice but to continuously change the odds. When the time for the final bet came, it was already one in ten for Lu Feng and one in one out of five for Jiang''s Three Brothers.


    Now, Zhao Fengnian actually had hopes that Lu Feng would win, because the number of people betting on Lu Feng was too small.


    If Lu Feng really lost, then they would really lose everything.


    Zhao Fengnian even discussed this with Jiang''s Three Brothers, wanting them to give the water to Lu Feng.


    But Zhao Fengnian was disappointed once again, the Jiang''s Three Brothers was also a figure with a lot of reputation in the Heavenly Star Academy, how could he let him toy around with them so casually? Without hesitation, he rejected Zhao Fengnian''s suggestion.


    This led to Zhao Fengnian looking at both sides of the arena plaza being a little displeasing to the eye. Since he wanted to lose to Lu Feng, why not lose to Lu Feng?

 C97

    After Lu Feng met the Jiang''s Three Brothers, the two groups of people went to the registration office together, and asked the elder in charge of registration to use the stage.


    Just like the last time when they fought with Murong Feng, the two of them quickly signed the two documents and placed their bets on the elder.


    In the next moment, both parties appeared on the arena at the same time.


    On one side, Lu Feng was alone, standing there as if she was all alone; on the other side, Jiang''s Three Brothers was standing there as if finished, looking in Lu Feng''s direction with unfriendly eyes.


    "Lu Feng, you really have the courage to stand here?"


    Seeing Lu Feng standing there confidently and unrestrainedly, the eldest of the three brothers, Jiang Kai, said somewhat gloomily.


    "Hehe, against you three pieces of trash, why wouldn''t I dare?"


    Since she was already standing on the opposite side, Lu Feng would naturally not be merciful with her words. Furthermore, this sort of ant was not even in her eyes.


    "Lu Feng, you have a sharp mouth!


    I''m afraid you''ll cry and beg for mercy later!


    "Hahaha!"


    Third brother Jiang Chang laughed out loud.


    At this time, a Outer Sect Elder, who was the judge of this match, walked onto the stage, and announced in a clear voice: "Disciples of the sect, today, the one who will be competing here, is Lu Feng, who is ranked first on the Outer Sect Assessment Ranking.


    Next, we would like to invite the two sides to participate in this competition. Prepare yourself, the competition will officially begin in an incense''s time. "


    With that, the referee retreated to a corner of the arena and closed his eyes to rest his mind.


    As for the audience, especially those who had placed heavy bets on both sides, they began to clamor loudly. There were those who cheered for their support, and there were those who insulted the other.


    Under this noisy atmosphere, time passed minute by minute.


    As for Lu Feng and Jiang''s Three Brothers, ever since the judge announced the start of the competition, no communication existed between them, only staring at each other from afar.


    Lu Feng was as relaxed as ever. This level of competition really did not pique his interest.


    Not to mention that he had already successfully formed his Jindan and his strength was equivalent to that of a Yellow Stage Ranker, just his own understanding of strength far surpassed that of the Jiang''s Three Brothers itself. To him, surpassing levels to challenge someone might be a little difficult, but it was not impossible.


    On the other hand, Jiang''s Three Brothers was just an ordinary cultivator. Although he had just stepped into the Peak of Innate Stage and grasped a set of combined attack techniques, against Lu Feng who had a strong physique and was proficient in martial arts, he would be at a disadvantage.


    The most important thing was that the Jiang''s Three Brothers did not know Lu Feng''s true strength, and only assumed that Lu Feng was weaker than them.


    Unfortunately, the Jiang''s Three Brothers made such a big mistake and even acted as if he was proud of himself.


    The time it took for an incense stick to burn passed quickly.


    With the command of the referee elder, the two sides were about to begin the match.


    At the first moment, Jiang''s Three Brothers took out the formation of three people and encircled Lu Feng from three different directions.


    Lu Feng, on the other hand, continued to wave her hands in the air, completely disregarding the encirclement of the Jiang''s Three Brothers s.


    "Lu Feng, die!"


    Amongst the three brothers, the one with the most violent temper, Third Elder Jiang Chang, roared loudly and threw a punch towards Lu Feng.


    At the same time, Jiang Kai and his attacks also started.


    Facing the three punches that were flying towards him in quick succession, and sensing the power from them, Lu Feng shook her head in disappointment.


    To be honest, Jiang''s Three Brothers''s joint attack was far worse than those black-clothed warriors at the third level of Tower of Trials.


    Ignoring the punch from Jiang Shen behind, Lu Feng lightly waved his arms, raised both fists, and sent the same punch towards Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang. Boom!


    Originally, Jiang''s Three Brothers thought that when facing the combined attack of three of them, Lu Feng would not choose to clash head on with them. In that case, they would naturally be able to gain the upper hand the moment the battle started, and smoothly unleash their combined attack to suppress Lu Feng.


    As long as Lu Feng was suppressed at the beginning, the person at the back would definitely fall into a defensive position to receive the three brothers'' continuous attacks.


    As long as it was for a long period of time, even if Lu Feng''s defense was tight, there would definitely be times where she would reveal an opening.


    At that time, as long as the three brothers took advantage of the moment Lu Feng revealed a flaw, they would naturally be able to defeat him without a hitch. They would also be able to earn a lot of money at the same time.


    Now, seeing that Lu Feng actually did not dodge nor care about Jiang Shen''s attacks from behind, and instead chose to clash head on with Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang, although the three brothers were surprised, they were secretly happy in their hearts.


    In their opinion, for a newbie like Lu Feng, who had just joined the sect, her strength would definitely be inferior to theirs by quite a bit. Now, she actually dared to clash head on with them.


    Immediately, Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang who were at the front, activated their True Yuan s even faster and rushed into their thunder-like fists. Jiang Shen, who was at the back, also quietly increased his strength.


    The three brothers were indeed one and the same mother. At the same time, they chose to increase their strength. This tacit understanding was worthy of praise.


    As for the spectators below, when they saw that Lu Feng actually chose to fight head on with him, they immediately went crazy.


    In the eyes of those who supported the Jiang''s Three Brothers, Lu Feng was simply courting death, and she himself was soon to harvest a large amount of Contribution Points or Primeval Stone.


    In the eyes of those people who supported Lu Feng, this kind of action was equivalent to courting death, as they all regretted betting on Lu Feng.


    Amongst the thousands of people below the stage, maybe only Lu Weirui and Jiang Xin, the two girls, still had confidence in Lu Feng.


    Just at that moment, Lu Feng''s pair of iron fists quickly collided with the full force of both Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang.


    "Bam!"


    With a muffled sound, four fists tightly pressed together, and a shapeless gust of wind blew out, rushing out in all directions from where the three fists collided.


    At the same time, Jiang Shen''s fist from behind also ruthlessly smashed the center of Lu Feng''s back, producing a huge sound.


    In a moment, Lu Feng raised her head and looked at Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang in shock as she spat out the power in her fists.


    "Ah!"


    Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang cried out in pain, their gigantic bodies flew up into the air, accompanied by a gust of wind, they flew out of the stage, while still in the air, they spat out mouthfuls of blood.


    By the time he landed, the boss and number three of the Jiang''s Three Brothers had already fainted.


    Seeing his big brother and Third Brother lose in just one move, Jiang Shen, who was behind Lu Feng, looked in a daze at the direction in which the two of them had landed. He even seemed to have forgotten what his next move was.

 C98

    The sudden change in the stage not only stunned Jiang Shen who was in the midst of fighting, but even the spectators below the stage were all shocked to the point that their mouths were agape. They looked up in disbelief at the awe-inspiring Lu Feng on the stage.


    However, Lu Feng did not stop there. After sending Jiang Kai and Jiang Chang flying, he moved and appeared beside Jiang Shen.


    Seeing that Jiang Shen was still maintaining his movement of punching, Lu Feng laughed and patted his shoulder, and said with a face full of ridicule: "Brother, it''s time to wake up!"


    "Ah?"


    Lu Feng, I want you dead! "


    Jiang Shen finally realised that his two brothers had been blasted off the stage with just one move from this guy. Even now, they did not make a sound, and did not even know if they were dead or alive.


    Now, this fellow had come to his side. This was a great opportunity for him to take revenge.


    After that, Jiang Shen roared in rage. Suddenly, he swept his gaze across Lu Feng''s neck.


    Lifting up one of her arms in a casual manner, Lu Feng easily blocked Jiang Shen''s hateful attack, and teased: "That punch just now was very satisfying, wasn''t it?"


    Jiang Shen''s eyes were completely red as she stared at Lu Feng fiercely, and said with hatred: "Lu Feng, don''t be complacent.


    Hand over your life! "


    After saying that, Jiang Shen''s fists moved consecutively as she attacked Lu Feng like a storm.


    In an instant, under the effect of his full strength, Jiang Shen was afraid that he would not be able to receive more than a hundred punches from the other party.


    However, Jiang Shen realized with some despair that no matter how fast his fists were, he could not catch up to Lu Feng''s figures.


    After a while, Jiang Shen came to a dejected stop. If he could not hit Lu Feng, then no matter how much effort he put in, it would just be a waste of his energy.


    However, Jiang Shen was not willing to accept this. If his three brothers were to lose so easily to Lu Feng, then they would not be able to raise their heads up in the future. After all, his previous big words had all been said by his three brothers.


    "Lu Feng, what ability do you have to rely solely on your movement?"


    Panting, Jiang Shen roared out while waiting for his reply with his scarlet eyes.


    "Oh? If I defeat you with my movement technique, then isn''t that called victory? "


    Lu Feng looked at Jiang Shen with a bit of amusement. To be able to say such stupid words, was this still the Jiang''s Three Brothers who was crazily clamoring before?


    "Die!"


    However, Jiang Shen took the chance when Lu Feng stopped in her tracks to suddenly launch an attack, and directly punched at Lu Feng''s face.


    At this moment, the audience could not stand to watch anymore. They had never seen such a shameless person!


    He said that the other person had defeated him with his movement technique, and that this was a victory without a fight. Yet, he took advantage of the moment the other person had stopped to suddenly launch a sneak attack.


    In an instant, boos rose up from below the stage. No matter which party was betting on, they would mercilessly boos Jiang Shen.


    It could be said that in this battle, Jiang''s Three Brothers had lost both at the same time, and his lofty image in the eyes of the Outer Sect disciples fell with a loud bang.


    "How reckless!"


    Facing Jiang Shen''s sudden attack, Lu Feng''s eyes turned cold. With a low roar, he faced Jiang Shen with the same fist.


    "Bam!"


    Ah!


    Accompanied by a loud noise, Jiang Shen let out a miserable cry as his body flew down the stage, following the footsteps of his big brother and Third Brother.


    "Swish!" I thought the top sixty Jiang''s Three Brothers s in Outer Sect were awesome. So they were all despicable people!


    To think I even bet a few hundred Contribution Points on the three of you!


    It really is f * cking blind! "


    Looking at the fallen Jiang''s Three Brothers, someone finally could not hold it in anymore. Struggling to the front, they spat out a mouthful of phlegm at the three brothers who were unconscious on the ground, then turned around and left while cursing. They even threw the betting tickets that they had been holding in their hands into the air.


    Looking at that piece of paper fluttering in the wind, the audience all around them reacted. That''s right, they had placed their bets on Jiang''s Three Brothers.


    The most important thing was that Jiang Shen''s sneak attack at the last moment had already made the three brothers completely public enemies.


    A small piece of paper completely ignited the anger in the crowd. Everyone squeezed forward and gulped at the three brothers lying on the ground. They then confidently threw away the gambling tickets in their hands, split the crowd, and left.


    In the end, the people below the stage had actually consciously lined up in long queues. Everyone arrived in front of the Jiang''s Three Brothers in turn, expressed their disdain towards him, and then confidently left.


    They only pitied the Jiang''s Three Brothers who was still unconscious on the ground. His entire body was covered in filth, and he looked really miserable. Especially the last person who had fainted, Jiang Shen, he received even more attention from everyone.


    And the mastermind behind this, the mastermind behind Jiang''s Three Brothers, young master Zhao Fengnian, had long since brought his subordinates to the side and laughed out loud.


    To Young Master Zhao, although he did not manage to take care of Lu Feng this time, and did not achieve his goal, it was not like he did not gain anything.


    One must know that the majority of the participating disciples in the gambling house had placed heavy bets on Jiang''s Three Brothers. Of course, this was also because of the low payout rate.


    With so many Contribution Points and Primeval Stone, other than the small number of people who were betting on Lu Feng, Young Master Zhao had made a substantial sum.


    In comparison, the five thousand Contribution Points that Young Master Zhao lost to Lu Feng previously, and the six thousand Contribution Points that he paid for Jiang''s Three Brothers was nothing.


    With regards to this unexpected loss, Young Master Zhao was quite satisfied. The hatred in his heart for Lu Feng seemed to have become even more intense than before.


    As for Lu Feng, after everyone offstage had left, she took the six thousand Contribution Points she won from the registration office, gathered with the little girl Lu Weirui and Jiang Xin, and happily walked back together.


    Just as they were about to reach the gate, the little girl, Lu Weirui, suddenly screamed.


    The two of them, along with Jiang Xin, looked at the little girl strangely.


    The little girl covered her mouth embarrassedly, and said with a stutter: "Big brother, Big Sister Jiang Xin, we seem to have forgotten to exchange for the wager. The odds of 1: 9, the six thousand Contribution Points, has become more than fifty thousand!"


    As she spoke, her eyes seemed to be flashing with a hazy light.


    Lu Feng knocked on the little girl''s head speechlessly, and said: "Lush, how do I find out that you''re not only a little gambler, but also a money grubber?"


    Lu Weirui held his own head and stared at Lu Feng unhappily: "Big Brother, how can you hit someone else''s head?


    What if he lost his mind?


    Furthermore, this is my first time seeing so many Contribution Points, isn''t this a little exciting! "


    Lu Feng laughed and said: "Enough, stop pretending to be pitiful.


    Don''t forget, there''s still half of your Big Sister Jiang Xin inside.


    Alright, the two of you go exchange for the stakes, don''t forget to bring the Xiao Jin. "


    With that, Lu Feng started to walk towards the small courtyard. Right now, he was an influential figure, it would be better for him to not show her face.


    And Lu Weirui, naturally, happily pulled Jiang Xin along to get their spoils of war.

 C99

    On the second day after the competition, Lu Feng suddenly remembered that when she came back from the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he had forgotten to hand in those few quests.


    Taking the chance while Jiang Xin and Lu Weirui were in class, Lu Feng went to the sect''s mission distribution area alone, and handed over the few missions she had taken previously, in exchange for over a hundred Contribution Points.


    After calculating it, Lu Feng already had nearly forty thousand Contribution Points, which could be considered as the little rich person in Outer Sect.


    Of course, there was still half that belonged to Lu Weirui, but Lu Feng had taken care of the little girl''s cultivation, so she didn''t need to use up his Contribution Points.


    Furthermore, although the little girl''s performance yesterday was a little miserly, after returning home, she still consciously transferred all the twenty-seven thousand Contribution Points she won to Lu Feng''s identity card. She only left a few dozen points for her normal expenses.


    After handing in the mission, Lu Feng suddenly realized that she seemed to have nothing to do.


    Her realm had just broken through, and she had just undergone a unique training within the Tower of Trials. For the time being, Lu Feng only needed to digest and absorb everything.


    As for the increase in strength and the breakthrough of his cultivation realm, it was better that everything went according to the plan.


    After thinking about it for a while, Lu Feng decided to go to the library to have a look. At the very least, she needed a clear understanding of the situation of Tian Yuan Continent.


    Furthermore, Lu Feng also wanted to see what kind of position a sect like the Heavenly Star Academy occupied.


    After making up her mind, Lu Feng went straight to the sect''s library. Relying on the identification of her identity card, she smoothly entered the library.


    The Heavenly Star Academy Library took up a large amount of space. It was a four-story building, decorated with paintings and flying roof. It was very ancient-styled.


    Entering the first floor of the library, he saw rows upon rows of bookshelves, as well as sect disciples shuttling back and forth between the bookshelves.


    Opposite the door, there was a corner door. On it hung a small sign with the words "Reading Room" written in small characters. It was probably for the sect disciples to read books inside. The overall environment gave people a very tranquil feeling.


    Lu Feng strolled over to the area labeled "Historical Document" and started to browse through the rows of books.


    Very quickly, Lu Feng selected a few books, such as < The Chronicle of the Continent >, < The History of the Sect''s Development >, < The Land''s Power Ranking >, and so on.


    Holding onto a dozen or so books, Lu Feng entered the reading room and started to read them one by one.


    Lu Feng was also different from ordinary people when she was reading books.


    Others were all reading the book word by word, but he was simply flipping a book while using his own Spiritual Sense''s strong characteristics.


    As Lu Feng flipped through each book, her mind also gradually formed an understanding of the entire Tian Yuan Continent.


    Although Heavenly Star City was a lot more flourishing compared to Greencloud City, its essence was still a border region. Relatively speaking, it was considered a relatively backward existence within Azure Dragon Empire.


    Although Heavenly Star Academy was the largest sect in the Heavenly Star Palace, the position and nature of his academy decided that his strength was not very outstanding.


    In terms of overall strength, his Heavenly Star Academy was only at the third place in the Heavenly Star Palace.


    In front of the Heavenly Star Academy were the nearby Profound Heaven Sect and the Divine Sword Sect.


    Speaking of which, in the entire Tian Yuan Continent, these three sects all belonged to the second tier. Compared to those first-rate powers, whether it was in terms of scale or strength, they were far inferior.


    After about an hour, Lu Feng finished flipping through all the books in her hands.


    Lu Feng who was unsatisfied, directly hugged all the books and placed them back in their original positions. She then looked for a dozen more books and brought them to the reading room to read.


    Seemingly throughout the entire morning, Lu Feng continuously wandered between the bookshelves and the reading room, as if she was hungry and thirsty for food as she continued to flip through the history-type books.


    Seeing that it was almost noon, Lu Feng picked up the dozens of books she had picked up for the last time and started to walk towards the bookshelves.


    Lu Weirui and Jiang Xin''s class was about to end, and he had to go back and wait for them.


    Lu Feng anxiously returned home, and the speed of her footsteps could not help but increase.


    However, just as Lu Feng was about to step out of the reading room, an accident occurred.


    Lu Feng''s speed was extremely fast, and she did not use her Spiritual Sense to scout ahead of time. After all, this was the sect''s library, so it was impossible for any enemies to sneak in an attack on him.


    And just as Lu Feng was about to leave, a person with his head lowered, reading a book, walked over to the reading room.


    Neither side noticed the other''s presence.


    At this moment, the two of them crashed into each other.


    Amidst a young girl''s tender cry, the dozen or so books in Lu Feng''s arms all fell to the ground.


    As for the young lady opposite him, who was wearing a moon-white gown and dressed as a boy, she also quickly floated backwards and raised her head to look at Lu Feng.


    Seeing that coquettish face, Lu Feng was shocked, wasn''t this Xu Yeyue, the number one beauty in Heavenly Star Academy, the Miss Xu?


    After thinking about it, Lu Feng looked at the spiritual eyes that had left a deep impression on her.


    "Pervert, what are you looking at?


    Do you believe that I won''t dig out your eyes? "


    Xu Yeyue came to the library to look up some information today, but who knew that when she found the book she was looking for, and was walking towards the reading room while reading, he was suddenly hit by Lu Feng.


    The defenseless Miss Xu had coincidentally been struck on her soft chest by the large heads in Lu Feng''s embrace. Even though her cultivation was high and she hadn''t received any injuries, she was still unavoidably shocked in that instant.


    Furthermore, as she was in the library, Xu Yeyue and Lu Feng did not try to protect him.


    That strike just now shook Miss Xu''s heart, and a strange feeling spread from her soft bosom to her limbs and bones.


    One must know that for a proud daughter of heaven like Xu Yeyue, forget about her soft breasts, even her small hands had never been tugged by other men ever since she was born.


    This time, Lu Feng was great, it could be considered as taking the top spot in Miss Xu.


    Miss Xu, who was currently embarrassed and angry, looked up and saw Lu Feng staring straight at her.


    Seeing those eyes, Lu Feng realized that she had indeed met Xu Yeyue again.


    Seeing that Lu Feng was even ignoring her, and was still staring at her naked eyes, Xu Yeyue became even more furious.


    "Scoundrel, look at this!"


    Xu Yeyue was angered, but she still showed no mercy. Raising her hand, she gave him a nod of the phoenix head, and her two pinky fingers curved slightly as she rushed towards Lu Feng''s eyes to peck at them.


    The moment Xu Yeyue took action, the shock in Lu Feng''s heart became even more intense, she did not expect this weak and slender girl to actually have a cultivation of Late Yellow Stage.


    Immediately, Lu Feng became furious, she had merely bumped into her by accident, why did she want to cripple both of her eyes?

 C100

    Facing Xu Yeyue''s vicious move, Lu Feng threw away the few remaining books in her hands and retreated a step, avoiding Xu Yeyue''s flustered and exasperated move.


    "Miss, we bumped into each other unintentionally. This isn''t the fault of anyone.


    It seems a bit inappropriate for you to act so ruthlessly right from the start, doesn''t it? "


    Lu Feng said to Xu Yeyue in a low voice.


    Of course, Lu Feng wouldn''t know that the historical records that she had been carrying earlier had already helped him infringe upon that young lady''s forbidden area, which was why she was so angry.


    A red cloud floated up on Xu Yeyue''s beautiful face. She had clearly thought about the scene from before, and ignored what Lu Feng had said. Her delicate body swayed, as she once again launched an attack at Lu Feng.


    Facing Xu Yeyue''s attack, Lu Feng did not dare to be careless, and immediately used her movement technique, dodging every attack.


    "Stop!"


    As the two of them were exchanging blows, the librarian finally rushed over and shouted loudly.


    Seeing that the deacon had appeared, Lu Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like they wouldn''t be able to fight today.


    As for Xu Yeyue, she had obviously recalled that private duels were not allowed inside Heavenly Star Academy, let alone in a relatively solemn and solemn place like the library.


    She was also furious just now, so she attacked Lu Feng without a care.


    "What''s the matter with you two? Don''t you know this is a library?


    "Look at the good things you''ve done!"


    The deacon came up and loudly berated.


    When he saw the dozens of books scattered on the ground, the deacon''s heart ached even more. He quickly bent down to pick up the books on the ground, his mouth not forgetting to say a few words: "I say, you guys also want to compete in the arena, why are you fighting here?


    Don''t you know that private duels are not allowed within the sect? Not to mention a place like the library.


    Now, I ask you very seriously, immediately stop your acts of sabotage and put these books back where they were.


    Otherwise, I will report your actions to the Elders Guild and have them make a decision to punish you. "


    Lu Feng thought that she was indeed in the wrong for this matter. She was carrying a huge pile of books and not seeing the person, so she walked even faster, causing a misunderstanding.


    "Deacon, it''s all my fault. I didn''t see anyone outside the door. I left a bit faster, so I ended up bumping into this brother here."


    Lu Feng glanced at Xu Yeyue''s male attire and paused for a moment before saying the word "brother".


    Putting away the books on the floor, Lu Feng once again took the few books picked up by the administrator and walked towards the area of bookshelves.


    Very quickly, Lu Feng returned the books to their original positions, and then turned back to the Enforcer''s side. She said sincerely: "Enforcer, I have already put the books back.


    Seeing Lu Feng following her instructions, the deacon''s originally cold face revealed a smile, and said: "That''s right.


    Remember, this is a library, a place for you to learn.


    For these books, you must love, you must be grateful, and you should not break the silence here.


    "Alright, since you are the first offenders, I will not punish you. If there is nothing else, you can leave. If you want to continue reading, then so be it."


    Saying that, the deacon confidently turned around and left.


    However, the look the deacon gave Lu Feng right before she left had a lot of meaning to it.


    If Lu Feng had cultivated a supernatural ability that allowed him to communicate with others, she would have definitely heard the deacon''s silent criticism: Heavenly Star Academy and even call Xu Yeyue Miss Xu brother? This person was also a wondrous flower!


    Seeing that the deacon had left, Lu Feng walked out of the library, and towards Xu Yeyue beside him, she did not even glance at him.


    The first time she saw Xu Yeyue half a month ago, even though it was just a glance, Lu Feng had a good impression of her.


    But in this accident, Lu Feng''s impression of him had greatly improved. Disregarding her male attire, just the fact that she was about to injure someone was something that Lu Feng was not happy about.


    Even though Lu Feng''s actions were sometimes very ruthless and heartless, it was always the others who provoked him in front of him, and not someone who would act as she pleased and kill innocents.


    However, even now, Lu Feng did not know how she had angered this young miss.


    "Halt!"


    The moment Lu Feng walked out of the library, she heard Xu Yeyue''s delicate shout from behind him.


    Lu Feng frowned, was it still not over?


    Turning around to look at Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng faintly said: "Miss, may I know what instructions you have for calling me here?"


    Xu Yeyue, with a cold face, walked straight in front of Lu Feng and said: "Miss? You''re the girl!


    "You bumped into this young master just now, but you still haven''t apologized to this young master!"


    Listening to Xu Yeyue''s somewhat unruly tone, Lu Feng felt even more unhappy in her heart, and said in a neither humble nor haughty manner: "Brother, the collision just now was only an accident, and moreover, the fault does not seem to be with me alone.


    In addition, after the event, he would not hesitate to use force against Lu Sheng.


    From what I see, the one who should apologize seems to be you, brother! "


    Xu Yeyue''s expression became even colder as she thought in her heart: Good kid, this is a restricted area that no one has touched for more than ten years, yet this book in your hands knocked you over. You''re not going to apologize, and you''re still saying that it''s your grandaunt''s fault?


    "Kid, what''s your name?


    Looking at your attire, you must be a sect''s Outer Sect disciple, right? "


    Although Xu Yeyue was furious in his heart, she did not immediately let it out. Instead, she changed the topic and started talking about Lu Feng''s background.


    Lu Feng maintained her expression as she said indifferently: "I am Lu Feng, and have just entered the sect this year.


    May I ask who you are? "


    "How dare you!"


    Xu Yeyue''s face changed, and suddenly shouted at Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, since you are a Outer Sect disciple, do you not know the sect''s rules?"


    As she said that, Xu Yeyue raised his sleeves and waved it in front of Lu Feng''s eyes, as if she was displaying the exclusive symbol of a Successor Disciple.


    Only now did Lu Feng remember that there was a rule in the sect: The ranks of the sect''s disciples should be arranged according to the order of true legacy disciples, core disciples, inner sect disciples, and Outer Sect disciples, from the highest to the lowest. The first rank, upon seeing a disciple with a higher rank than himself, should take the initiative to bow and call them "Senior Brother" or "Senior Sister".


    But with Xu Yeyue''s vile attitude, Lu Feng was not in the mood to pay respects to her.


    "Oh? Is that so?


    Then, should I call you senior? Or was it senior sister? Miss Xu! "


    Lu Feng said with a ridiculing tone.


    Listening to Lu Feng''s somewhat mocking tone, Xu Yeyue felt stifled anger, and said: "Lu Feng, if you don''t greet me today, I will report your actions to the sect, and let the elders treat you for a crime of disrespect. At that time, it is even possible for me to drive you out of the sect."


    "Hahaha!" I''ll wait! "


    Lu Feng laughed loudly as she turned around and walked away, leaving behind a frosty faced Xu Yeyue who stood in her original spot.

 C101

    Seeing Lu Feng walk far, Xu Yeyue, however, did not stop him this time. Instead, she looked at Lu Feng''s departing back with a playful expression.


    Brat, do you think that you can wash away all the evil deeds you''ve done to me?


    Dream on!


    Oh right, Lu Feng, why does this name sound so familiar? It seems someone mentioned it to me?


    Forget it, let''s not bother about it for now, we just need to find someone to ask about it. Thinking about it, with this brat''s temperament, he should not be some unknown nobody within the Outer Sect disciples.


    Xu Yeyue made up her mind. With a sway of her body, she had already disappeared from where she stood.


    If Lu Feng had seen this scene, she would definitely be very surprised. What Xu Yeyue had just displayed was clearly a technique similar to the Spatial Compression Technique.


    In the afternoon, Lu Feng accompanied Lu Weirui and Jiang Xin to eat a rather warm lunch before returning back to her room alone to digest the insights she gained in her previous life.


    As for Jiang Xin, after watching Lu Feng leave, her red lips opened and closed a few times, as if she had something to say to Lu Feng. But in the end, she did not open her mouth.


    In the afternoon, Lu Weirui and Jiang Xin went out for unknown reasons.


    When Lu Feng came out of the house, other than Lu Feng herself, there was no one else in the small courtyard. Even the Golden Quill Eagle s were all taken away by Lu Weirui.


    Lu Feng did not mind this at all. Instead, she walked out of the small courtyard and walked towards the Contribution Points s exchange area of the sect.


    Just when she was in the room, Lu Feng suddenly remembered that when she went to Green Cloud Mountain Range this time, she seemed to have forgotten to look for the traces of Soul Infant Grass. Recalling that the deacon disciple at the mission distribution center had once mentioned that the sect''s exchange office seemed to provide the exchange location for Soul Infant Grass, Lu Feng decided to go and take a look at the exchange location.


    Arriving at the Contribution Points exchange area, Lu Feng discovered that it was very lively here, with sect disciples coming and going everywhere. Forget about inner sect disciples, Lu Feng had even seen quite a few legendary, elusive core disciples.


    Arriving at the exchange window, Lu Feng told the deacon disciple who was in charge of receiving him the reason for her visit.


    The deacon disciple looked at the book in his hand and said to Lu Feng: "Junior brother, the Soul Infant Grass that you are looking for, even though the sect does have a portion of it, there aren''t many of it, and its price is relatively high.


    "Junior is sure that you want to exchange for this kind of spiritual medicine?"


    Lu Feng said: "Senior brother, how much is the Soul Infant Grass being exchanged for? How much stock does the sect have right now? "


    The deacon disciple looked at Lu Feng and said: "Junior Brother, because the production of this Soul Infant Grass is relatively low, and because most of them are in dangerous areas, the exchange price reached two thousand Contribution Points for one.


    As for the sect''s inventory, I cannot tell you the exact number, but you can still produce thirty to fifty stalks. "


    "Two thousand Contribution Points? It''s really quite expensive! "


    Lu Feng said somewhat sorrowfully.


    It was true that the disciples who were ranked number one outside of Outer Sect were given out only a little more than a thousand Contribution Points each month, which meant that they could be exchanged for half a stalk of Soul Infant Grass. As for Lu Feng''s total wealth, it was currently not even worth thirty-seven thousand Contribution Points, and all of it was spent.


    "Junior brother, this Soul Infant Grass is only useful to cultivators'' souls, but the serious damage to their soul, is rarely seen in our Tian Yuan Continent.


    Therefore, the sect would not store too many Soul Infant Grass.


    Even so, it was only because some Elders were able to use them when conducting certain experiments that they had more or less made some preparations.


    I can see that junior brother is in high spirits and does not seem to have been traumatized by a soul. I wonder what use is there in exchanging for this Soul Infant Grass? "


    The honorary disciple said enthusiastically to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng laughed and said: "Senior Brother, I heard that this Soul Infant Grass has great benefits in increasing the strength of one''s soul, and was unable to find anything within the Green Cloud Mountain Range. That''s why I came to the sect to try my luck.


    Senior Brother, how about this, help me exchange for two stalks first. "


    With that, Lu Feng took out his identity card and indicated to the disciple with it.


    Seeing that Lu Feng had truly decided to exchange for a Soul Infant Grass, the deacon disciple happily turned around and went back inside the room.


    Not long after, the deacon disciple returned with two small cold jade boxes, which he handed over to Lu Feng, and conveniently took away four thousand Contribution Points s from his identity card.


    "Junior brother, do you know how to use this Soul Infant Grass?"


    After completing the exchange procedures, the disciple who looked like a deacon spoke to Lu Feng enthusiastically.


    Lu Feng was startled, she really did not know how to use it.


    "Senior Brother, please enlighten me!"


    Lu Feng sincerely said to the disciple deacon.


    "Junior brother, the usage of the Soul Infant Grass is actually relatively simple.


    When he could condense the liquid form into the size of a pigeon egg, that would be enough.


    After that, you just take that drop of liquid and use your martial arts to refine it.


    "Oh right, I have a small booklet here that introduces the refining methods of various spirit medicines, so I''ll give it to you as a gift."


    The honorary disciple took out a thin booklet and handed it over to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng had some doubts, the deacon disciple was being too passionate, and after the first meeting, she had patiently explained it to him and kindly advised him, and now she had even taken out the secret manual and gifted it to him.


    Looking at the slightly yellowed booklet, Lu Feng shook her head and said: "Senior Brother, this is the first time we have met.


    The deacon disciple seemed to have seen through Lu Feng''s doubt and smiled slightly, saying: "Junior brother Lu, from your identity card, I already know your identity.


    You may not know this, but the disciples in charge of our sect are usually the inner disciples.


    With your talent, you''ll have to enter the inner sect sooner or later, so, I''m just building a good relationship with you in advance.


    "Oh right, Junior Brother, my name is Wang Zhilin. If you have anything you don''t understand, just come and find me."


    Wang Zhi Lin said warmly to Lu Feng.


    Seeing that Wang Zhi Lin''s words made sense, Lu Feng accepted the booklet despite being full of suspicions, and then left.


    After Lu Feng left, Wang Zhilin handed the things he had on hand to the other disciples, then went to the back. He respectfully bowed to an old man with white hair and a beard, and said: "Reporting to Great Clan Elder, I have already passed the book to Lu Feng."


    The Head Elder slightly opened his eyes and said to Wang Zhilin, "I understand. You may leave."


    As he spoke, he threw a small porcelain bottle in front of Wang Zhilin.


    After Wang Zhilin had left, the white-haired old man sighed and said to himself, "Girl, I''ve done what you told me to do. You decide whether it''s a blessing or a curse."


    "Thank you, Grandpa Bai!"


    A charming voice sounded, but no one appeared.

 C102

    After returning to her own courtyard, Lu Feng flipped open the booklet and started to study it.


    Sure enough, Wang Zhi Lin did not lie to Lu Feng. This booklet did indeed contain the external characteristics, effects, refining method and even some ingredients needed.


    Furthermore, although the booklet appeared to be thin on the outside, there was actually quite a bit of content inside.


    The most important thing was that even Lu Feng could not recognize the materials used to create the booklet. It was as thin as a cicada''s wing, but unusually flexible.


    After reading the method to refine the Soul Infant Grass recorded in the booklet, Lu Feng put down the doubts in her heart. She reached out and took out a cold jade box.


    Opening the cold jade box, Lu Feng saw a strange snow-white grass that was quietly lying inside the box. It was the Soul Infant Grass that was always on Lu Feng''s side.


    Reaching out with her hand, Lu Feng took out the Soul Infant Grass and carefully examined it.


    The entire plant of the Soul Infant Grass was around half a foot tall, its entire body was snow-white like jade, and traces of cold energy emitted from its surface. The strangest thing was that the pair of leaves were like an infant''s palm, hugging the stem from within.


    Seeing this strange plant, and smelling the faint cold Qi from it, Lu Feng felt her spirit shake.


    "It really is miraculous!"


    Lu Feng exclaimed.


    Lu Feng waved his hand, and the Trinity Cauldron that was initially on the ring finger of his left hand quickly appeared in the air.


    After striking out one of the Sanmo True Fire, Lu Feng carefully placed it into the Trinity Cauldron and controlling the size of the Sanmo True Fire as she began to refine this unusual grass.


    According to the records in the booklet, when Lu Feng activated the Sanmo True Fire, with the cooperation of the Trinity Cauldron, she spent close to four hours before barely refining the entire Soul Infant Grass.


    Seeing that the plant that was originally sparkling and translucent like jade had now turned into an almost transparent ball of liquid, Lu Feng''s mood improved greatly.


    Only when the moon reached its zenith did Lu Feng finally refine that Soul Infant Grass into a drop of transparent liquid the size of a pigeon''s egg.


    After extinguishing the Sanmo True Fire, Lu Feng raised her hand and sucked the drop of liquid over, causing it to float above her palm.


    Sensing the surging life energy inside the liquid, Lu Feng seemed to be deeply captivated by it.


    After a long while, Lu Feng''s eyes recovered its clarity, and she raised her hand to put the drop of liquid into her mouth.


    Following that, Lu Feng assumed the position of "Wu Xin Xiang", and started to refine the drop of liquid.


    Just as Lu Feng was refining the Soul Infant Grass, he did not know that Lu Weirui was anxiously hovering at the door of his room, and had not been able to let him in at all.


    This was also a habit that Lu Feng had always had.


    Every time she was training, Lu Feng would set up a small maze around his room''s entrance, and in the room, she set up a hidden Spell Formation, ensuring that no one would interrupt him during the process of breaking in, and that no one would leak out.


    After approximately half an hour, Lu Feng refined the drop of the Soul Infant Grass''s liquid into nothingness, and it was completely absorbed by Lu Feng''s body.


    Feeling a cool and refreshing feeling sweeping across his own sea of consciousness, Lu Feng felt her soul becoming more stable and his sea of consciousness also expanded on a small scale.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng''s mind moved, his Spiritual Sense sensed that Lu Weirui was anxiously waiting at the door.


    Waving her hands to remove a few Spell Formation s, Lu Feng opened the door and walked out.


    Seeing Lu Feng coming out, the previously absent-minded Lu Weirui, as if she had found a backbone, quickly ran over and looked at him with a wronged expression.


    "Lush, what''s wrong? Did someone bully you? "


    Seeing Lu Weirui''s attitude, Lu Feng''s heart tensed up, and anxiously asked.


    However, Lu Weirui didn''t say anything, he only shook his head and continued to look at Lu Feng pitifully.


    This made Lu Feng curious, since the little girl was not being bullied, then how could she display such a pitiful appearance?


    "Lush, what is going on? "Tell Big Brother that I will help you settle everything!"


    Lu Feng said to Lu Weirui in a low voice.


    Lu Weirui suddenly jumped into Lu Feng''s embrace and used all his strength to hug Lu Feng. His voice was choked with sobs as he said: "Big brother, Big Sister Jiang Xin has left!"


    Jiang Xin left?


    Lu Feng''s heart trembled, but she quickly understood.


    "Lush, everyone has their own life, their own ideals and pursuits.


    So we can''t force anything.


    Do you understand that? "


    Holding Lu Weirui''s shoulders, Lu Feng said in a gentle and comforting voice as she looked at that beautiful, teary face.


    Lu Weirui panicked and quickly said: "Big Brother, it''s not what you think.


    I know that Big Sister Jiang Xin likes you.


    The reason she left this time, was because she felt that she wasn''t worthy of you, which was why she went out to find her own fate! "


    "Lush, don''t spout nonsense, otherwise your Big Sister Jiang Xin''s reputation will be tainted!"


    Lu Feng did not expect the little girl to suddenly say these words, and immediately stopped her.


    "Brother, are you not worried about the departure of the Big Sister Jiang Xin at all?"


    Lu Weirui looked at Lu Feng with disappointment.


    However, Lu Feng said, "Lush, you must first understand that we are only friends with your Big Sister Jiang Xin, and we cannot help her make any decisions.


    Moreover, Jiang Xin was already an adult. Everything she did, had its own considerations and intentions.


    Or maybe it''s really as you said, Jiang Xin fell in love with me, but felt that she wasn''t worthy of me, and thus chose to leave by herself.


    But what did it mean?


    I remember telling you before that if we were fated to meet, we would naturally get together.


    Of course, you might ask, what kind of attitude do I have towards your Big Sister Jiang Xin?


    Lush, let me tell you this: I don''t think about men and women at all at the moment.


    You understand that right? "


    After saying that, Lu Feng looked at the little girl''s blushing face, and pulled the little girl to sit on a chair to the side, she continued to speak: "Lush, it''s precisely because of this that I can''t let Jiang Xin leave this matter, and do anything.


    Think about it, your Big Sister Jiang Xin and I do not have any sort of engagement. The relationship between the two is just a relatively hazy one, and there is no explanation for it either.


    In this case, whatever I do is inappropriate.


    Furthermore, none of us can guarantee that the departure of your Big Sister Jiang Xin will be the beginning of her rapid growth.


    Therefore, I don''t want you to be too sad about this matter.


    You need to believe that there are always a few days of time. If fate wills it, when the time comes, we will naturally reunite with your Big Sister Jiang Xin. "


    Lu Feng''s earnest and earnest words finally managed to persuade the little girl over here.


    "Well, brother, I won''t dwell on this.


    However, I will work hard to cultivate so that I won''t be a burden to you in the future! "


    Lu Weirui looked at Lu Feng and said resolutely.

 C103

    After comforting Lu Weirui, Lu Feng returned to the house alone.


    With regards to Jiang Xin''s departure, although Lu Feng looked as if she was speaking to Lu Weirui, on the surface, she looked very open-minded, but deep down in her heart, she was still a little reluctant.


    To be honest, after coming to the Heavenly Star Academy for so many days, he had already gotten used to Lu Weirui and Jiang Xin being by his side.


    Now that Jiang Xin had left, he was still a little not used to it.


    However, upon thinking that Jiang Xin had gone to pursue her dream, Lu Feng understood once more.


    Putting down this matter, Lu Feng took out the small book once again and started to read it carefully.


    After about two hours, Lu Feng finally finished reading the half read manual.


    Putting down the booklet, Lu Feng started to ponder.


    Judging from Wang Zhi Lin''s expression, he was indeed a little overzealous. For Lu Feng, who he had just met, to be so passionate, Lu Feng could not help but be suspicious of him.


    Furthermore, the excuse Wang Zhilin found was that Lu Feng would definitely enter the inner sect quickly. Right now, he had to take care of Lu Feng so that he could get help from Lu Feng.


    In this regard, Lu Feng did not believe it. There was no one in the world who would give their treasures to another without even knowing each other.


    Because of that booklet, no matter how Lu Feng looked at it, she could feel that it was extraordinary.


    After thinking for a long time, Lu Feng still couldn''t think of a reason.


    If Lu Feng had heard the few words that appeared after he left, he would have definitely guessed who it was that was preparing to deal with him.


    It was a pity that Lu Feng did not have the habit of releasing his Spiritual Sense at any time, nor did she have the habit of doubting everything. Furthermore, maintaining the release of his Spiritual Sense for a long time was also a form of disrespect to others, and could be attacked by other people''s Spiritual Sense at any time.


    In her boredom, Lu Feng picked up the booklet and prepared to put it into the Trinity Cauldron.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng''s expression changed, the sensation on her finger, told him that the back cover of the booklet, seemed to be strange.


    Using her own Spiritual Sense s, Lu Feng began to carefully inspect the thin back cover.


    As the Spiritual Sense moved across the paper inch by inch, Lu Feng finally found a clue.


    On the back cover of the booklet was impressively carved a miniature formation, similar to a mustard seed space.


    It seemed like this was the secret.


    Although Lu Feng was not as proficient and obsessed with formations as the cloud neutron, she still had a certain level of understanding.


    After that, Lu Feng started to analyze the array carefully, searching for the location of the array core.


    "Haha, it''s here!"


    Suddenly, Lu Feng laughed, with a point of her finger, a thin strand of True Yuan shot out, straight into the center of the piece of paper.


    Following an indiscernible wave of spirit energy, Lu Feng picked up the booklet, reached out a hand, and gently touched it, a thin piece of yellow silk appeared in his hands.


    From afar, that array was only a small hidden Spell Formation with a mustard seed space. The true secret was this piece of yellow silk in Lu Feng''s hands.


    After sensing it for a bit, Lu Feng realized that there shouldn''t be anything else, so she kept the booklet and opened the yellow silk in her hands to read.


    On the yellow silk, a black brush and ink outlined the mountains and rivers. Surprisingly, it was a map.


    Lu Feng concentrated her cultivation on her eyes and started staring at the map.


    After a long while, a red line of light appeared in Lu Feng''s line of sight. It meandered and twisted on the map before finally pointing towards a small black dot.


    After memorizing the route, Lu Feng dispersed the True Yuan that was in her eyes and started to carefully examine the map.


    Very quickly, Lu Feng found the existence of Heavenly Star City on the map. Although it was not marked with any words, Lu Feng was very sure that it was Heavenly Star City.


    Following the instructions on the route in her mind, Lu Feng realized that the black dot was exactly in the depths of her Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    When she thought about the two words "underground palace" that faintly appeared on the black dot, Lu Feng understood that this should be an existence that was similar to a treasure map.


    Wang Zhilin was a little strange. It seemed that he was planning to bring the map to him.


    Lu Feng communicated back and forth with Wang Zhi Lin and was able to confirm that she did not even know Wang Zhi Lin before, so there was no way that they would have any conflicts.


    In that case, this Wang Zhilin must have been ordered by someone to deal with him.


    If that was the case, this so-called underground palace should be a dangerous place.


    However, judging from the material and age of the map, it did not seem fake.


    Lu Feng was a bit conflicted. The possible treasure trove was right in front of him, should she go and check it out?


    After a while, Lu Feng was also a little uncertain.


    Since she could not make up her mind at the moment, Lu Feng simply opened the door and entered the courtyard.


    Because Lu Weirui was sad to see him leave, Lu Weirui did not cultivate tonight, but went to bed early.


    Furthermore, Lu Feng did not plan to discuss this with Lu Weirui, the little girl''s thoughts were simple, like a piece of white paper, it was impossible for his to know what was going on.


    Seeing the loyal Golden Quill Eagle guarding outside Lu Weirui''s house, Lu Feng suddenly had an epiphany. She could ask the Golden Quill Eagle where the location of the underground palace was, where the Green Cloud Mountain Range was, to judge the degree of danger along the way.


    Reaching out her hand to beckon the Golden Quill Eagle, Lu Feng quietly sent a sound transmission to her: "Xiao Jin, follow me."


    After returning back inside the house, Lu Feng took out the map, and asked the Golden Quill Eagle that had followed him in: "Xiao Jin, take a look. With your understanding of Green Cloud Mountain Range, what region do you think this place should be? What are the strength of the Devilish Beast or Demonic Beast that are surrounding us? "


    The Golden Quill Eagle looked at the map carefully, and said in shock: "Master, why would you ask about this place?


    That was a famous dangerous place deep within the Green Cloud Mountain Range!


    Back then, when I had just entered the Late Innate Stage, I relied on my identity as a flying Devilish Beast, my speed was fast, and my body was metal attributed. No matter if it was defense or attack, I had a natural advantage and wandered around the various regions in the Green Cloud Mountain Range for a while.


    However, I felt my heart palpitate as I hurriedly retreated before I could even get close to the place.


    Later on, I asked the Demonic Beast nearby about it. It was a valley, and it was filled with clouds and mist all year round. No one knew how deep it was.


    Furthermore, even the Demonic Beast of the Late Yellow Stage would be inexplicably suppressed if they got near there, not daring to get too close.


    The other point was that from the Heavenly Star City to the depths of the valley, one had to pass through the territories of countless Demonic Beast, and there was even no lack of existences that surpassed the Profound Stage.


    Master, where did you get this map?


    Could it be that you want to go to this place? "


    In the end, the Golden Quill Eagle asked in surprise. In regards to that deep valley, it still had lingering fears in its heart.


    "Alright, Xiao Jin, I roughly know what the situation is now.


    "About that, I might be out for a while, you have to be careful to protect the little miss'' safety."


    After Lu Feng finished speaking, she sent the Golden Quill Eagle to continue protecting Lu Weirui.

 C104

    In the morning of the second day, Lu Feng told Lu Weirui her decision to temporarily leave the sect for a period of time, and instructed him to cultivate properly in the sect, and to pay attention to her own safety.


    To Lu Weirui, his beloved Big Sister Jiang Xin had just left and now, his brother Lu Feng was going to leave for the time being again.


    But Lu Weirui also knew, Lu Feng was clearly different from when she left, he must have something important to take care of. On this point, it was impossible for him to intentionally drag away.


    Therefore, in the end, Lu Weirui still pretended to be happy and sent Lu Feng off.


    However, just as Lu Feng left, the corners of the little girl''s eyes unconsciously formed into two streams of clear tears.


    With Lu Feng''s strength and shrewdness, how could she not know about the little girl''s forced smile?


    However, Lu Feng wholeheartedly wanted to obtain strength and recover her former glory. On this trip to the underground palace, Lu Feng felt that it was very possible that there was a great opportunity contained within.


    As a result, Lu Feng could no longer care about the love between a girl and herself, thus she hardened her heart, and left without looking back.


    After leaving the Heavenly Star Academy''s range, Lu Feng found a place with no people, released his Flying Sword, and steadily stood on top of it as she quickly flew towards the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    It had to be said that with the Flying Sword, Lu Feng''s speed could be said to be top-notch.


    Before long, Lu Feng had already entered the range of her Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    However, Lu Feng did not go to the Lao Hei s'' territory. Instead, she followed the direction of the red line in her mind and flew deeper into the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    However, Lu Feng quickly gave up on using the Imperial Sword Technique to fly.


    This was because after entering the middle region, Lu Feng had been constantly attacked.


    First, an Iron Winged Eagle suddenly appeared in front of Lu Feng. It quickly flapped its wings and attacked Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng didn''t want to cause too much trouble so she controlled the Flying Sword and avoided the Demonic Beast that had the strength of Early Yellow Stage.


    However, the Iron Winged Eagle was chasing closely behind Lu Feng, with the attitude that it would not rest until it killed Lu Feng.


    Because of this, Lu Feng intentionally lowered her altitude in order to avoid the Iron Winged Eagle''s entanglement.


    Unexpectedly, Lu Feng''s altitude had dropped, and not only did she not avoid the Iron Winged Eagle, she had instead brought about new trouble.


    Just as Lu Feng was running past a bunch of dense trees, a thick snake tail suddenly rose from the forest, sweeping towards Lu Feng. It was a Flower Spot Forest Boa, and when Lu Feng flew past it in the sky, it suddenly launched an attack.


    This time, Lu Feng''s anger also rose. I had originally wanted to travel quickly and not provoke you guys, but since you guys are suffering, then let''s not blame this young master for acting viciously.


    In the air, Lu Feng''s body suddenly rose upwards, avoiding the Giant Serpent Tail of the Patterned Forest Boa, yet the Flying Sword beneath his feet was kicked towards the Iron Winged Eagle who was chasing closely behind him.


    In front of the Steel Winged Eagle, when he saw Lu Feng riding on her sword, but her aura was not out of the ordinary, thus chasing closely after Lu Feng, she did not expect Lu Feng to suddenly attack.


    Under the urging of Lu Feng''s True Yuan, the fiery red Flying Sword, who was named as the Crimson Nimbus Sword, borrowed the momentum of that kick to quickly cut through the air and pierced towards the Iron Winged Eagle''s chest.


    At the same time, Lu Feng unfurled her figure in the air, and pounced towards the mottled Forest Boa.


    While still in the air, Lu Feng formed a hand seal, and released a golden blade technique towards the Forest Boa. A huge golden blade over a meter long suddenly appeared in the air, slashing towards the tail of the Forest Boa that was outside the forest.


    At the same time, Lu Feng''s left hand suddenly enlarged and formed a hand seal that covered the sky, aimed towards the forest below.


    This was the first time Lu Feng had used her own technique since arriving at the Tian Yuan Continent, so the power was naturally not small.


    With a loud bang, the dense forest looked as if it had been crushed by a giant rock. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and leaves flew everywhere.


    After everything calmed down, they saw a giant palm print in the middle of the forest. All the trees in the range of the palm print were pressed into the ground, and a giant floral pattern was floating in the middle of the huge pit formed by the palm print.


    At this time, the Crimson Nimbus Sword in the air, with the speed of a lightning bolt, cut off one of the Iron Winged Eagle''s wings and returned to Lu Feng''s side.


    Having lost a wing, the Iron Winged Eagle could no longer maintain its flying posture and was spinning downwards. No matter how desperately it flapped its remaining wing, it was of no use.


    Lu Feng hated the Iron Winged Eagle for not stopping. She extended a finger to control the Crimson Nimbus Sword and stabbed it towards the Iron Winged Eagle again.


    A red light flashed in the air.


    The Iron Winged Hawk''s flapping wings suddenly stopped.


    Lu Feng''s Spiritual Sense turned into a big hand, quickly fished out the Iron Winged Eagle''s corpse and stuffed it into the Trinity Cauldron.


    With regards to the Flowered Forest Boa below, Lu Feng looked down on its strength, but was also very dissatisfied with its sneak attack. At the same time, she instinctively loathed those long haired beasts that were often food and accessories.


    Immediately after, taking advantage of the Blossom Spot Forest Boa being knocked unconscious by a huge palm, Lu Feng controlled her Crimson Nimbus Sword and pierced seven inches into the Blossom Spot Forest Boa. She spat out her True Yuan and completely annihilated the forest overlord''s life force.


    The pitiful Iron Winged Hawks and Flower Spotted Forest Boas had originally wanted to sacrifice their teeth, but in the end, they had all become Lu Feng''s spoils of war.


    After putting away the Flower Spot Forest Boa''s corpse, Lu Feng''s Spiritual Sense quickly scanned the surroundings. Not bad, Lu Feng had found a small piece of spirit medicine called the Purple Rhododendron Flower, which appeared to be around a hundred or so stalks.


    This was one of the necessary ingredients to refine a Purple Jade Pill, and that was a Pills that was a grade higher than the Qi Replenishing Pill. Even at Lu Feng''s level, it would still be of great use to the growth of a True Yuan.


    Lu Feng thought that she could go back and refine more Purple Jade Pills to help Lu Weirui improve his cultivation.


    With the sneak attack of the two Demonic Beast from before, Lu Feng also understood that if she was in the air, her target was too obvious, and she would be easily attacked by the Demonic Beast.


    As for the normal Demonic Beast territories, they more or less had some spirit medicines or ores. Even though they had to hurry on their way, harvesting some materials along the way seemed to be a good choice.


    Therefore, Lu Feng gave up trying to fly with the Imperial Sword Technique and turned to travel further through the forest.


    Along the way, Lu Feng had brought out his Spiritual Sense to its maximum. Not only did she feel that there was no danger, she also searched for the figures of those treasures of heaven and earth. Since she had already entered the middle level area of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, then Lu Feng naturally had to maximize her gains.


    At the same time, Lu Feng also knew that she would not be able to calm down about the rest of the trip, especially those Demonic Beast s with higher strength. They would definitely not have any friendly attitude towards Lu Feng who passed by.

 C105

    After approximately ten days, Lu Feng finally passed through the middle level area of the Green Cloud Mountain Range and officially stepped into the depths of the mountain range.


    At this point, Lu Feng did not dare to be careless.


    Previously, Lu Feng had already met with a Demonic Beast with peak Yellow Stage and there was more than one of them. Although she was defeated by Lu Feng in the end, Lu Feng herself was also not so relaxed.


    Now that they had entered the depths of the mountain, they would encounter Demonic Beast of a higher level at any time.


    Furthermore, when the Demonic Beast reached the Profound Stage, its mind was already opened, so it could at least speak human language.


    With regards to this kind of Demonic Beast, Lu Feng was still quite careful. That was equivalent to Lu Feng''s strength entering the Nascent Soul Stage, which was a whole level higher than the current Lu Feng.


    On this day, as he was passing by a single-horned, blue-eyed rhino''s territory, he happened to see a strange flower. On the stem of a three-inch tall flower, there was a giant flower.


    This was the Seven-coloured Free and Unrestrained Lotus, which had a small reputation even in the desolate world. The young plant was a necessary ingredient to refine the Face Preserving Pill, and it''s matured body could be used to refine healing panacea which would even be of great use to Golden Immortals.


    In addition, if this flower was fully grown, each petal would have a seven-colored aura coiling around it.


    Why would the Seven Colored Free and Unrestrained Lotus appear here? Or was it an immature young plant?


    Lu Feng was very suspicious.


    Right at this moment, Lu Feng suddenly heard a roar from behind him, accompanied by a gust of wind that charged towards Lu Feng''s back with a rumbling sound.


    Lu Feng was shocked. This kind of momentum, it was clearly because that damned single-horned Turquoise-Eyed Rhino had discovered him and thought that he was eyeing the flower, then rushed to attack him.


    Lu Feng did not dare to be negligent, she immediately turned and flew up, dodging the attack of the horned green eyed rhinoceros.


    Without even turning around, he suddenly stopped his charge forward. A gigantic tail swept towards Lu Feng.


    At this time, Lu Feng who had received the buffer had already summoned his Crimson Nimbus Sword. Controlling the Crimson Nimbus Sword, she swept it towards the single-horned azure-eyed rhinoceros''s tail.


    "Clang!"


    The sound of metal clashing rang, Lu Feng''s Crimson Nimbus Sword successfully slashed the single-horned jade eye rhinoceros''s tail, but it did not harm it at all. Instead, it was struck by a huge force and flew up into the sky.


    Not good, this damned beast is a Profound Stage Demonic Beast.


    It was precisely the Profound Stage Demonic Beast that Lu Feng was so afraid of, and judging from its aura, it was obvious that it had reached the level of Mid Profound Stage. It was a full five levels above Lu Feng''s realm.


    After the two hits, the horned blue eyed Rhinoceros was a little angry. It turned its head and with its bell-like eyes wide open, it stared at Lu Feng.


    Immediately after, four small whirlwinds appeared under the four huge hooves of the single-horned azure-eyed rhinoceros. They lifted the single-horned azure-eyed rhinoceros up into the air and charged towards Lu Feng with the speed of thunder.


    And the single-horned, blue-eyed rhino''s eyes clearly revealed a gaze of ridicule.


    Lu Feng was furious, she did not violate any of the benefits of this Demonic Beast, but it still refused to forgive him.


    "Evil creature, you''re courting death!"


    Lu Feng bellowed, she summoned back the Crimson Nimbus Sword and stepped on it, both hands forming a seal, she pointed her right hand forward, and a heavenly lightning that was as thick as a bucket suddenly appeared soundlessly on the head of the Single Horned Turquoise-Eyed Rhino, and fiercely cleaved down.


    This was a new Tao technique that Lu Feng had learned after entering the Golden Core Stage. It was called the Five Thunder Righteous Technique and was able to summon out pure thunder to attack a designated target.


    However, with Lu Feng''s current strength, she could only release a dozen or so heavenly thunders at most when she squeezed the True Yuan in her body.


    ''Bang! ''a thunderous sound was heard as the lightning struck the head of the single-horned Turquoise-Eyed Rhino, producing a loud sound.


    "Plop!"


    The horned, azure-eyed rhino could no longer hold its ground after being struck by this strike. It fell face first onto the ground, creating a huge crater.


    Without waiting for the Rhinoceros to stand up, Lu Feng shouted once again, "Great Heaven Shrouding Palm!"


    A huge palm suddenly appeared above the single-horned azure-eyed rhino, bringing an endless amount of power as it rapidly struck down.


    Faced with the giant hand that almost covered the sky, the horned, blue-eyed rhinoceros'' huge body seemed to have become tiny.


    After using two killing moves in a row, Lu Feng was slightly out of breath.


    However, Lu Feng knew that such an attack would not take the life of the Rhinoceros.


    Lu Feng also did not have any treasures on him, and the only Flying Sword seemed to be unable to break through the single-horned jade rhinoceros''s defense.


    In her rage, Lu Feng summoned out the Chaotic Clock from the depths of her sea of consciousness.


    After taking two of Lu Feng''s ultimate moves consecutively, the horned blue eyed rhinoceros was a little dazed. The heavenly thunder in particular made it feel even more dizzy.


    Just as the horned, azure-eyed rhinoceros struggled to get up from the ground, the huge dark yellow bronze bell smashed down.


    Although the Chaotic Clock did not recover its full strength, the material it was made from was not something that the body of a single-horned azure-eyed rhinoceros could stop.


    Adding on the fact that under Lu Feng''s rage, she had completely poured all of her remaining True Yuan into the Chaotic Clock, under this heavy and heavy smash, the single-horned, azure-eyed rhinoceros could no longer hold on. The horn on its head snapped, and it cried out miserably in pain.


    Effective!


    Lu Feng was so happy that she swung the Chaotic Clock and smashed it down again.


    After smashing it four or five times consecutively, the single-horned, azure-eyed rhino no longer made a sound. Only then did Lu Feng stop, and looked down while holding onto the Chaotic Clock that had returned to the size of a fist.


    The Single Horned Turquoise-Eyed Rhinoceros, this famed top tier Demonic Beast, had already been smashed by Lu Feng, slapping it to the point where its brain burst open, and it died.


    The Chaotic Clock flashed with a dark yellow light, and with the mini version of the single-horned, azure-eyed rhinoceros image, it retreated back into the bell, sending an excited thought to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng smiled slightly, happily accepting the spirit energy that the Chaotic Clock had returned back to him. At the same time, she took out a few Cyan Spirit Pills and quickly threw them into her mouth, trying to recover the exhausted True Yuan.


    After receiving the soul power from the Chaotic Clock, Lu Feng''s True Yuan had also recovered about fifty to sixty percent.


    After collecting the Chaotic Clock back into her own sea of consciousness, Lu Feng walked over to the body of the single-horned azure-eyed rhino and stored its huge body into the Trinity Cauldron on her hands. Even the broken horn was also retrieved by Lu Feng.


    After finishing all of this, Lu Feng went to the side of the Seven Colored Carefree Lotus, and was prepared to transplant it into the Chaotic Clock''s space so that it could be slowly nurtured to maturity. At that time, Lu Feng would be able to refine the healing medicine that almost everyone in the Great Wasteland was dreaming for.


    "Stop!"


    Just as Lu Feng''s hand was about to touch the Seven Colored Free and Unrestrained Lotus, an explosive shout suddenly sounded out, and at the same time, a gust of wind assaulted Lu Feng.

 C106

    Lu Feng was shocked, and immediately dodged to the side, only to see a Flying Sword flying past the tip of her nose. It shot into a big tree in front of him and exploded, smashing the tree into pieces.


    Lu Feng''s face turned cold, this was definitely harboring malicious intentions!


    "Which member of the younger generation dares to launch a sneak attack from behind?"


    Lu Feng shouted coldly.


    "Woosh woosh woosh." A series of scurrying sounds could be heard as several cultivators appeared in front of Lu Feng. One of them raised his hand to recall the Flying Sword.


    The one in the lead, who was dressed in a long white robe, had one hand behind his back and the other holding the sword hilt on his waist. His face was filled with arrogance as he spoke to Lu Feng arrogantly: "Kid, this prince has taken a fancy to this strange flower.


    "Now, take your things and get lost!"


    Lu Feng''s pupils constricted. In total, seven people appeared in front of him, five men and two women. The True Qi around their bodies swirled, and none of these seven people were weak.


    Most importantly, these seven people were not very old. Other than the two girls and the young master who were around twenty years old, the oldest among the other four people was at least thirty years old.


    Furthermore, looking at their similar expressions, Lu Feng knew that if she wanted to take away this Seven Colored Free and Unrestrained Lotus today, she would have to fight to the end.


    "Who are you? Why did you sneak attack this young master? "


    Lu Feng asked, even though she already knew the answer.


    "Heh heh, kid, you''ve got guts. You actually dare to call yourself this young master in front of me?"


    The expression on the face of the young master in the lead slightly changed, and immediately returned to normal, as he spoke to Lu Feng with a look of disdain.


    "That''s right. Kid, if you know what''s good for you, then hurry up and get lost. Otherwise, we won''t mind sending you back to your maternal grandma''s home!"


    Without waiting for Lu Feng to speak, a scoundrel behind the Young Master jumped out and pointed at Lu Feng as he spoke.


    Lu Feng said in a deep voice: "Everyone, are you planning on bullying the weak?"


    "Brat, why are you blabbering so much?


    To tell you the truth, we are core disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect.


    Now, our third young master has taken a fancy to that flower.


    "If you know what''s good for you, then hurry up and get the hell out of here. Otherwise, the person in our hands will not be someone easy to deal with!"


    Taking the chance to be in front of Lu Feng, the scoundrel scolded Lu Feng arrogantly.


    "Impudent!"


    Your master hasn''t spoken, so how can he have the right to speak like a lackey?


    Look at your age, you''re really getting better and better at living. You don''t even like being a dog! "


    Lu Feng was also enraged, and unrestrainedly scolded.


    "Brat, you''re courting death!"


    After being scolded by Lu Feng, that weasel-eyed guy was immediately enraged. She no longer cared about her master behind him, as she pulled her Longsword out and pounced towards Lu Feng.


    "Kid, hand over your life!"


    Seeing the incoming sword force, Lu Feng''s eyes became colder and colder, and boundless killing intent filled her heart.


    "Go!"


    Pointing her finger at the weasel, Lu Feng let out a loud shout.


    Following Lu Feng''s words, the Crimson Nimbus Sword suddenly shot out from Lu Feng''s fingertips, quickly enlarged its body, and with a ray of scarlet sword light, it slashed towards the guy.


    Previously, he didn''t feel any strong fluctuations of a True Yuan from Lu Feng''s body. He thought that Lu Feng was just some lucky bastard who somehow got to the deepest part of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    As a result, he had complete confidence in slashing Lu Feng under the sword.


    He did not expect Lu Feng to suddenly raise her hand and release the Flying Sword. That fellow was shocked, and thought things were not good, and immediately thought of changing her body and dodging Lu Feng''s sword.


    Unfortunately, he overestimated his agility and also underestimated the power of the Crimson Nimbus Sword.


    A sword light flashed across the air. The group of warriors let out an earth-shaking scream. Their bodies weakly fell on the ground. They had already let out too much breath.


    Lu Feng hated this fellow for speaking nonsense, the sword was unleashed with hatred, with incredible speed, it pierced through that fellow''s Dantian.


    Now, this fellow could only lie on the floor and wait for death. Even if a Supreme Elder were to save his life, he would have already lost the possibility of continuing to cultivate, and would only be reduced to trash.


    The sudden turn of events gave the six people behind him a fright.


    They were the sects that were ranked first near Heavenly Star City, disciples of Profound Heaven Sect, and the young master in the lead, the youngest son of Profound Heaven Sect Great Elder Hu Buwei. His name was Hu Zhongtian, and he was ranked third in the family.


    This time, Hu Zhongtian brought the two beautiful disciples and four core disciples from the sect to train in Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    Just now, when they happened to pass by the area, they sensed that someone was fighting, so they ran over to check out their surroundings out of curiosity.


    By the time they reached near, Lu Feng had already finished gathering the Single Horned Blue-eyed Rhinoceros and was about to pick the Seven Colored Free and Unrestrained Lotus.


    Although Hu Zhongtian and the rest did not know what kind of spirit medicine the Seven-coloured Carefree Lotus was, that did not stop them from harboring malicious intent.


    Coincidentally, one of the two female disciples was attracted by the Seven Colored Lotus Flower at a glance, revealing an expression of infatuation.


    This Hu Zhongtian brat, although he looked like a talent, and was even one of the noble heirs to the Profound Heaven Sect, he was normally the most lustful and lecherous of flowers. Many of the female disciples in the sect had been harmed by him, but due to his identity and the power behind him, they had ultimately decided to swallow their anger down.


    Speaking of which, the reason why Hu Zhongtian came to the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range to train this time, was not because of a whim or impulse, but because the two female disciples that came with him, Su Yumei and Yang Liu, wanted to come to the Green Cloud Mountain Range to find some spirit medicine.


    Out of the four people who came with him, three of them were core disciples of Profound Heaven Sect.


    At that time, it was Su Yumei who had taken a fancy to the Seven Colored Free and Unrestrained Lotus.


    In order to win the beauty''s smile, Hu Zhongtian had instructed his personal bodyguard to attack Lu Feng. At the same time, he had shouted out loudly so that Lu Feng could pick the spirit medicine.


    Hu Zhongtian usually thought highly of himself. He looked down upon a lone guest like Lu Feng, and in his eyes, it was fine to just kill him, it was not a big deal. In the vicinity of the Heavenly Star City, who dared to offend their Profound Heaven Sect?


    So what if he was a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect or Heavenly Star Academy?


    Don''t forget, he, Hu Zhongtian, is the direct descendant of the Profound Heaven Sect Great Clan Elder, and the Profound Heaven Sect Sect Leader, is even more so his own uncle.


    However, Lu Feng had killed his personal bodyguard the moment she attacked, which immediately made Hu Zhongtian more vigilant. The person in front of him was not someone that was easy to provoke.


    However, Hu San gongzi was used to running amuck, so how could he tolerate others killing his guards right in front of his eyes?


    "Three senior brothers, I suspect that this person appeared inside the Green Cloud Mountain Range in order to secretly plot something that would be detrimental to my Profound Heaven Sect.


    Now, let''s join hands and capture him, bring him back to the sect for further investigation. If there is any resistance, we can kill him on the spot! "


    Hu Zhongtian said as he pointed sinisterly at Lu Feng.

 C107

    Although they knew that Hu Zhongtian was speaking nonsense, the three Profound Heaven Sect Core Disciples behind him still revealed their weapons one after the other.


    The oldest was a man with a single blade, who looked to be around thirty years of age. He looked at Lu Feng and said softly: "Brat, if you want to blame something, blame it on meeting our third young master at the wrong time. Remember, after death, when you come to the underworld, do not cause trouble for us brothers!"


    Behind Lu Feng was a fair white face with a Longsword in her hand. Her face was soft and she said impatiently: "Fifth senior brother, why are you wasting words with him.


    The last word came out in a muffled voice, "Ninth Junior Brother, you can''t underestimate your opponent. This kid can kill Fourteenth Brother in one move. Although Fourteenth Brother underestimates his opponent, this kid''s strength is not to be underestimated!"


    "Ok, Ol ''Eight, Ol'' Nine, there''s no need to say anymore. Let''s send this kid on his way as soon as possible!"


    The Fifth Senior Brother interrupted the Eighth and Ninth Brother, and continued to look at Lu Feng with a gloomy expression.


    Lu Feng now understood that these three should be the Profound Heaven Sect''s core disciples. It seemed that the two young girls behind them were undoubtedly Profound Heaven Sect''s disciples as well.


    A few days ago, Lu Feng had even seen the information regarding Profound Heaven Sect in the sect. Originally, she thought it was a more righteous sect, but today, she was greatly disappointed.


    From this, it could be seen that there weren''t many good birds in the entire Profound Heaven Sect.


    Thinking of this, Lu Feng''s killing intent rose.


    Seeing Lu Feng standing there coldly with a crimson red Flying Sword floating in front of him, the three brothers were somewhat unable to stay still.


    "Kill!"


    The fifth brother suddenly roared, he raised his blade and used Snowflake Cover to slash at Lu Feng.


    At practically the same time, eighth brother and ninth brother''s Longsword also pierced towards Lu Feng at lightning speed.


    Facing the onslaught of the three people, Lu Feng did not panic at all. Her body flickered, and she had already escaped from the three people''s encirclement.


    At the same time, Lu Feng opened her right hand, and a bolt of heavenly lightning silently appeared above Ol ''Nine''s head, and fiercely crashed down.


    As for Lu Feng''s left hand, it brushed away the Longsword that Old Eighth had attacked him, and pointed towards his throat.


    In the time it takes for a hawk to fly, Lu Feng released three killing moves at the same time, attacking the three Profound Heaven Sect disciples.


    Facing Lu Feng''s Crimson Nimbus Sword, the fifth brother''s single blade danced, easily blocking the attack that seemed to have every opening.


    As for Ol ''Eight, he dodged Lu Feng''s finger attack quickly and attacked Lu Feng while waving her Longsword.


    Only Ol ''Nine was a little sad. He didn''t expect that the attack would come from the top and Lu Feng''s heavenly lightning had appeared silently. By the time he felt the pressure of the heavenly thunder, it was already too late.


    "Crack!"


    That bolt of heavenly lightning suddenly exploded above Ol ''Nine''s head.


    Caught off guard, the electric snakes covering Ol ''Nine''s body scurried wildly, and uncontrollably, they started dancing like a stink dance on the spot.


    After the electric snakes dissipated, Ol ''Nine stood there dumbly, maintaining the posture of a Longsword raising its head. His hair was all standing up, and his feminine white face had turned pitch black.


    A gust of wind blew, and with a "plop", Ol ''Nine fell face up to the sky, having lost his breath.


    Lu Feng never thought that her Thunder of the Heaven would be able to achieve such a good result, killing an expert with a strength similar to herself in an instant.


    In fact, what Lu Feng did not know was that Ol ''Nine was a different type of Profound Heaven Sect, she cultivated a cultivation technique that was of the Evil Yin attribute, and heavenly thunder, represented the nature''s righteous energy, and was the nemesis of all evil and yin beings. When it came across Ol'' Nine''s Qi, of course it would ruthlessly kill him, which was why it was such an outstanding battle result.


    On the other hand, Lu Feng, who was controlling her Crimson Nimbus Sword from afar, launched wave after wave of attacks at the lone blade fifth brother, causing him to become flustered.


    As for Ol ''Eight, although it had launched a quick and violent attack at Lu Feng, it had all been dodged by him.


    The more he fought, the more shocked he became. Just where did this kid come from? He could actually kill Ol ''Nine in a single move and even suppress him and Fifth Senior Brother to fight.


    The reason why Lu Feng did not attack Ol ''Eight heavily was because she was wary of Hu Zhongtian and the two girls beside him, preventing them from suddenly attacking him.


    Seeing that Lu Feng did not retaliate, she raised the speed of her sword even more and continued to attack Lu Feng. Boom!


    Gradually, Lu Feng became impatient. She still had to hurry on her way, but she could not afford to waste time with these people.


    "Ardent Flame Palm!"


    While dodging, Lu Feng suddenly used a martial skill, a single palm condensed out a large palm shaped flame, and rushed towards Eighth Brother.


    Ol ''Eight was surprised, and immediately changed his attack into a defensive stance, and started dancing with all his might with the Longsword s, preventing the flame palm from getting any closer.


    However, what made the eighth brother feel despair was that the flaming palm was not affected by his Longsword and was quickly approaching him.


    "Gale Three Sword, first move, Whirlwind!"


    The eighth brother was also worried and quickly used his own Martial Skill.


    Unfortunately, he made a mistake while he was busy with his work, the eighth brother had actually used a wind martial skill, the so called Fire Borrowing Wind Force, the wind helped the Fire Force, and in that moment, the flame palm imperceptibly increased its power by a few degrees, and directly patted Old Eighth''s chest, and like a maggot, it started to burn up.


    No matter how much Old Eighth howled, before long, the raging flames had turned him into a human torch and he was no longer going to live.


    Seeing that Lu Feng had killed Ol ''Eight, the fifth brother became even more flustered.


    Normally, the attacks of Crimson Nimbus Sword s were already crafty enough, they would attack from an unexpected angle. But now, they had to add on Lu Feng, the great enemy.


    Just as the fifth brother was hesitating, Hu Zhongtian, Su Yumei and Yang Liu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly moved at the same time.


    Hu Zhongtian''s Longsword was unsheathed, Su Yumei waved two pink folding fans, and while Yang Liu waved a ribbon, they both rushed towards Lu Feng.


    "I''ve been waiting for you!"


    Lu Feng laughed out loud, then suddenly turned around to face the three people attacking him. She stood up straight and raised her hand.


    "Great Heaven Shrouding Palm!"


    Lu Feng had liked this move from the moment she dealt with the single-horned green eyed rhinoceros.


    Lu Feng felt that when the big hand covered the sky, its power was still quite strong.


    Seeing the huge palm come down, Hu Zhongtian gave up on attacking Lu Feng. He straightened the Longsword in his hand and quickly stabbed upwards, hoping to rely on his own martial skill to smash a piece of sky above his head.


    As for Su Yu Mei and Yang Liu, the two seductive girls, they disregarded everything and rushed towards Lu Feng.


    When she got close, Su Yu Mei''s fan suddenly waved and silently sprinkled a blue silver needle at Lu Feng.


    Hearing that, the Willow''s ribbon suddenly released a cloud of pink colored smoke, covering towards Lu Feng.


    "You dare!"


    Lu Feng suddenly roared loudly.

 C108

    Facing the oncoming poisonous needles and colorful smoke, Lu Feng stretched out his hand and the Crimson Nimbus Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.


    At the same time, Lu Feng quickly turned, avoiding the ball of colorful smoke. With a wave of her big sleeve, a tornado appeared, sweeping away the colorful smoke and shot up into the sky, quickly disappearing into the sky.


    At this time, the sky-covering palm finally descended.


    With a loud bang, a strong gale blew past. Sand and rocks flew about, and smoke filled the air.


    After the dust settled, the figures of five people appeared in the arena.


    Lu Feng stood at the side without a speck of dust, holding the wide Crimson Nimbus Sword, and pointed at the four from afar.


    As for the originally relaxed Hu Zhongtian and the two charming beauties, they now looked like beggars. They were dressed in tattered clothes and their faces were covered in dirt.


    Evidently, at the last moment, the three of them had activated their True Yuan Cover, hoping that they would be able to withstand the attack of the Sky Shrouding Palm.


    But in the end, all of their True Yuan s had been destroyed and, under the cover of dust and dirt, they had finally managed to survive under the Heaven Shrouding Palm.


    Only that fifth brother, who was slightly further away and didn''t get affected by the shockwaves, wasn''t able to affect him in the slightest with his level of Middle Yellow Stage and the hand seal''s shockwave.


    "Brat, you''re finished!"


    I am the direct son of the Great Clan Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, when I return to the sect, I will definitely report your evil deeds to my father.


    Kid, facing the fury of my Profound Heaven Sect, I do not believe that you can escape! "


    Hu Zhongtian said to Lu Feng fiercely.


    "Profound Heaven Sect? Is it that great? "


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    "Good boy, you dare to spout such arrogant words even in the face of death?"


    Just based on your slandering of Profound Heaven Sect, even at the ends of the earth, from top to bottom, my Profound Heaven Sect will take your life! "


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Hu Zhongtian was overjoyed, this was Lu Feng taking the initiative to deliver this information to his doorstep.


    Lu Feng''s tone remained indifferent: "Really? Unfortunately, you all will be disappointed!


    As long as this young master slays all four of you under his sword, how would you know what kind of bullshit Profound Heaven Sect it is?


    And how can you chase after this young master from all corners of the world? "


    "How dare you!"


    Brat, you have to understand.


    Our third young master''s father is the Great Elder of my Profound Heaven Sect, and his very own uncle is the Secr Master.


    Do you think you can silence us just by killing us?


    Let me tell you, around this Heavenly Star City, who would dare to provoke us?


    Kid, are you sure you want to face the wrath of the entire sect? "


    Fifth brother finally reacted, he anxiously rushed to Hu Zhongtian''s side and shouted at him.


    "This young master has already said that as long as I kill all of you, no one will know that it was this young master who did it.


    This Green Cloud Mountain Range is so vast and there are countless Devilish Beast and Demonic Beast, who knows which corner you all died in?


    Alright, cut the crap, just hand over your life! "


    Lu Feng ridiculed and said a few words, waving the wide Crimson Nimbus Sword, she attacked the four people in front of him.


    Originally, Hu Zhongtian had thought that by bringing out the name of the Profound Heaven Sect, he would be able to scare Lu Feng off so they could calmly leave.


    He did not expect that Lu Feng would be so stubborn as to not take advantage of them, and instead have the urge to kill them all, wanting to leave all of them in the depths of this Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    This time, Hu Zhongtian was somewhat afraid.


    To put it bluntly, this Hu Zhongtian was simply a beautiful young master who lived like a prince.


    However, facing Lu Feng''s powerful and majestic attack, the four of them did not dare not resist. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to giving their necks to Lu Feng, allowing him to kill them.


    Immediately, the fifth brother brandished his blade wildly. Hu Zhongtian straightened his Longsword, Su Yu Mei''s fan flew, and Yang Liu Cai danced. The four of them used all their ultimate moves to resist Lu Feng''s attack.


    The Crimson Nimbus Sword in Lu Feng''s hands, like a door board, continuously swung at the four people with a fierce sound of wind. It suppressed the four people and became a ball.


    After a few moves, Hu Zhongtian became even more anxious, the situation was obviously not good for them, and if the fight continued, the final result would definitely be the four of them being exhausted and killed by Lu Feng''s sword.


    "Brat, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will all die together and this will not do you any good!"


    While resisting Lu Feng''s attack, Hu Zhongtian shouted loudly.


    "Good little brother, please let our third young master go. At worst, big sister will stay behind to accompany you. You can do whatever you want!"


    Su Yumei was even more shameless, she immediately used luring, but in Lu Feng''s eyes, her dirty look, could only cause him to lose her appetite.


    "That''s right, handsome brother. If worst comes to worst, we sisters will accompany you together!"


    Yang Liu also charmingly said, even deliberately pulling down her collar a bit.


    "Witch, shameless!"


    Lu Feng cursed angrily, she raised her hand and used the Five Thunder Righteous Technique, and smashed towards the two demon women.


    Facing the lightning descending from the sky, the two girls turned pale with fright, hurriedly dodging to both sides.


    The bolt of lightning struck right in the middle of the four people, bursting out with countless electric snakes that shot out in all directions.


    With this, the four were so scared that their souls almost left their bodies as they simultaneously prepared to dodge.


    Unfortunately, with the speed of lightning, how could their movement techniques dodge it?


    The four of them felt their entire bodies go numb as they could not control their own bodies. The movements in their hands could not help but slow down.


    Taking the chance, Lu Feng thrusted the gigantic sword in her hand again and again and killed the two demoness Su Yu Mei and Yang Liu.


    Before he even had the chance to snort, the two beautiful girls from before had already died under Lu Feng''s sword.


    With regards to this scum, who looked like a slut to him, when Lu Feng fought, she did not feel like she was ruthlessly destroying a flower.


    Besides, even if it could be considered a flower, it would still be a ruined flower. It was so disgusting to look at.


    With the death of Su Yumei and Yang Liu, the pressure on Hu Zhongtian and Ol ''Five became even greater.


    Although they had managed to dispel the chaotic electric currents in their bodies and regained their flexibility, just now, the four of them were not Lu Feng''s match. Now, they were two less helpers, and the situation had become precarious immediately.


    Seeing that he was about to lose to Lu Feng, Hu Zhongtian suddenly shook his hand, revealing a snow white jade talisman, he raised his hand and shot towards Lu Feng.


    As the jade talisman left Hu Zhongtian''s palm, it suddenly transformed into a lively fire dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, it pounced towards Lu Feng.


    "Haha, you''ve finally used your trump card?"


    Lu Feng laughed out loud. Without the slightest fear, she slashed her sword towards the fire dragon.


    Under Lu Feng''s one strike, the fire dragon resisted for a bit, and then slowly dissipated.


    However, Lu Feng lost sight of Hu Zhongtian and the fifth brother''s figures in front of him.


    "Want to run?" Is it that easy? "


    Lu Feng''s expression became solemn, and the Spiritual Sense began to spread out in all directions.


    "Here!"


    Not long later, Lu Feng''s Spiritual Sense found the figures of Hu Zhongtian and Ol ''Five, who were currently running out of the mountain in a sorry state.


    With a sway of her body, Lu Feng chased after him. For a hidden danger like this, it was better to eliminate it while it was still in its infancy.


    Lu Feng knew that after this battle, the two sides had become mortal enemies, and there was no possibility of resolving this issue. Thus, he would definitely not let the two of them leave.

 C109

    After catching up to the two, Lu Feng ignored their pleas, and killed both of them under the sword.


    After that, Lu Feng packed up the items on the two of them and kept them in his Trinity Cauldron. Only then did she burn off the two bodies, and went back to look for the Seven Colored Unfettered Lotus.


    Arriving at the battlefield before, Lu Feng first carefully planted the Seven Colored Carefree Lotus inside the Chaotic Clock, right beside the Five Elements Spirit Root.


    After that, Lu Feng searched the bodies of the five people he killed in succession, and finally burned the corpses. Only then did she leisurely leave the scene, and continued to rush deeper into the Green Cloud Mountain Range.


    What Lu Feng did not know was that, in the very instant he killed Hu Zhongtian, a disciple rushed into the core area of the Profound Heaven Sect, and knocked on the door of the Great Elder''s room, located far away on a tall mountain in the northwest of Heavenly Star City.


    Hu Buwei, Great Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, his cultivation had already reached the Mid Profound Stage, and he was not far from reaching the late stage of the Profound Heaven Sect.


    When the door was knocked, Hu Buwei was sipping a cup of spirit tea, looking very carefree and satisfied.


    After hearing the anxious knocking sound, Hu Buwei''s smile disappeared, and he unhappily said in a low voice: "Come in."


    When the door opened, the disciple walked in with a flustered expression. He hurriedly said: "Great Elder, this is bad!"


    "What are you panicking for? The sky is falling? "


    Hu Buwei snapped in displeasure.


    "Yes, Great Elder. Just now, I received a report from a disciple of the Spirit Jade Hall. Including the third young master, there are seven core disciples and a Successor Disciple. All the soul jade tablets have been shattered. The Sect Leader requests Great Elder to come over immediately."


    The disciple apologized but still said with a panicked expression.


    "What?" Say it again, what happened to Zhongtian? "


    Hu Buwei was shocked, the teacup in his hand did not even reach his hands, allowing the precious Spirit Tea to be poured on his clothes, he asked anxiously.


    "Grand Elder, the third young master''s soul jade tablet has shattered!"


    Seeing Hu Buwei''s gloomy expression, the disciple hurriedly repeated his words.


    "Who did it?"


    Hu Buwei did his best to suppress his anger, but he couldn''t control his own energy from leaking out. It seemed as if the temperature in the room had dropped by a few degrees.


    "For the time being, I don''t know. That is why the Sect Leader invited you over to discuss things."


    The disciple quickly replied.


    "Humph!"


    Hu Buwei snorted coldly, stood up, and disappeared without a trace with a wave of his sleeve.


    The disciple glanced at the door with lingering fear, wiped off his cold sweat, and then carefully exited Hu Buwei''s room. He closed the door, and returned to report.


    Hu Buwei suddenly heard that his son had died. Using a movement technique, he quickly rushed to the great hall of the sect.


    After seeing his own blood brother Hu Buqiang, Hu Buwei barely managed to control his anger. He bowed slightly and said: "Greetings, Sect Leader."


    Hu Buqiang waved his hand, and said: "Big Brother, what the hell are you doing?


    Let me ask you, where did ZhongTian go? "


    Hu Buwei was the only male under Hu Buqiang''s knee, the others were all girls, and they treasured this one child very much.


    And the reason why Hu Zhongtian, the third son, was called third in the sect''s Successor Disciples, and because he had two elder sisters in the sect, he himself found the name pleasant, hence calling it that.


    Hearing Hu Buqiang''s question about Hu Zhongtian''s whereabouts, Hu Buwei hurriedly said: "Second Brother, a few days ago, Zhong Tian found me, and said that he wanted to accompany the two core disciples to the Green Cloud Mountain Range to look for something. I didn''t think too much about it, and let him bring his personal guard Hu Peng over.


    I never expected that this trip would result in the separation of heaven and earth! "


    After saying that, Hu Buwei could not help but shed a few tears.


    "Since he has gone to the Green Cloud Mountain Range, there must be traces to find.


    How about this, you personally make a trip to the sect''s mission assignment office to find out what those disciples are looking for.


    Thus, we can also have an approximate location.


    Afterwards, send out the sect''s four great protectors, have them look for clues in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, and see exactly which reckless dog actually dares to kill my Profound Heaven Sect''s Young Sect Master! "


    Hu Buqiang said fiercely.


    Wiping away his tears, Hu Buwei cupped his hands towards Hu Buqiang and without saying a word, he went to look for clues.


    Deep within the Green Cloud Mountain Range, Lu Feng found a place that she did not care about, and while meditating, she began to inspect her harvest this time.


    Don''t say it, Hu Zhongtian is still quite wealthy.


    The seven of them provided eight weapons, the lowest being Earth Stage Treasures, to Lu Feng.


    In addition, there were a varying number of Primeval Stone among the seven people''s Storage Bag, as well as various spirit medicines, ores and finished Pills.


    After making a small calculation, Lu Feng realised that just those Low Grade Yuan Stone s alone amounted to over ten thousand pieces, which could be considered a considerable amount of wealth.


    And Lu Feng also took out two of the jade talismans that she used earlier on out of his Storage Bag.


    After a careful inspection, Lu Feng discovered that this kind of jade talisman was made from fine white jade. It used a special method to refine a mini offensive formation, and when used, it would use its own True Yuan s to activate the formation and release an offensive technique.


    "That''s a good idea!"


    Lu Feng said to herself somewhat happily.


    This was the first time Lu Feng had come into contact with this kind of talisman type item, and she felt a new and strange sensation.


    When the True Yuan in her body had fully recovered, Lu Feng once again set off on her journey. She carefully avoided the territory marked by the Demonic Beast along the red line, and headed towards her final destination.


    After about three or four days of effort, Lu Feng finally arrived at a mystical place.


    It was a seemingly ordinary valley. According to the markings on the map, the so-called mysterious underground palace was at the end of the valley.


    But when Lu Feng wanted to enter the ravine, she realized that the ravine actually had another universe behind it, and it wasn''t as simple as it looked on the surface.


    After observing for a long time, Lu Feng finally discovered that there was someone using the natural terrain of the valley. Within a large radius of the valley''s entrance, they had set up an anti-Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation.


    With Lu Feng''s attainments in formations, this Spell Formation would not be difficult for him.


    After careful observation, Lu Feng finally found the right path to the valley.


    When Lu Feng went along a hidden path and passed through the Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation''s blockade, the scene that appeared before her eyes made even Lu Feng, who had a firm will and determination, unable to restrain herself from inhaling a breath of cold air.


    What appeared in front of Lu Feng was a pitch black valley. From the moment they left the big array, the valley had fallen down and formed a cliff.


    At the entrance of the valley, it was just as the Golden Quill Eagle said, it was enveloped in a thick fog that seemed to never disperse. Furthermore, Lu Feng was supposed to be able to detect Spiritual Sense s that were over five kilometers away, but she had suffered an inexplicable suppression here. She could only detect Spiritual Sense s that were dozens of meters away, and no matter how far away they began to rapidly exhaust themselves.

 C110

    Looking at the unfathomable pitch black valley, Lu Feng was moved. Since she was already here, then she might as well not go in and take a look.


    However, Lu Feng was not in a hurry to start entering the dense fog. Instead, she just sat down on the spot and started to channel her Circulating Star Fighting Spell to quickly recover her True Yuan.


    Lu Feng had to guarantee that she would be able to enter this place where luck was at its peak.


    After the True Yuan had fully recovered, Lu Feng considered it for a moment. This way, it would not be very safe, and coming to the Tian Yuan Continent, she only needed around a month, she had a lot of things that were missing.


    Take the essentials of a cultivator ¡ª Pills. Other than the Qi Replenishing Pills, Cyan Spirit Pills, Small Revitalizing Pills, and Barrier Breaking Pills that Lu Feng refined, she had also found a portion of Pills that she had obtained from killing Hu Zhongtian and the others. Compared to the dangers that they might face, this kind of Pills was truly not enough.


    As the saying goes, if there''s something to prepare, it won''t cause trouble. Lu Feng took out her Trinity Cauldron s and took out most of the spirit herbs she had, preparing to start concocting pills.


    After laying down a small scale defensive Spell Formation s and a essence gathering array around her body, Lu Feng began to look through all of her materials, including the Demonic Beast''s essence, blood and pellet.


    With regards to the Demonic Beast''s Inner Core, although it could be used to refine Pills s that could greatly enhance cultivation using Spirit medicine, Lu Feng did not plan to eat the Pills herself.


    This was mainly because Lu Feng''s current cultivation progress was already fast enough. In just a short month, she had gone from a standard waste with almost no power at all, to consecutively crossing several levels, and had now reached the equivalent of the Early Yellow Stage''s Aurous Core stage. This kind of rocket like rise in cultivation level was already shocking enough.


    Therefore, regarding the few inner pellets that she had, Lu Feng decided to stay. After she recovered her Heavenly Star City, he would find some spirit medicines to complement with, and help Lu Weirui raise her strength level a little.


    After taking out all of the spirit herbs, Lu Feng herself was a little shocked. After continuously going through several experiences during this period of time, she had unknowingly stored a lot of ingredients and the mountainous amount of spirit herbs in front of him were the best proof.


    It was fortunate that the Trinity Cauldron s that Lu Feng had refined had powerful storage abilities. If it were another person, even if they had the best Storage Bag, they might not be able to contain it.


    After she sighed with emotion for a while, Lu Feng calmed her heart and started to refine all kinds of Pills s, one by one.


    For three days and three nights straight, Lu Feng kept refining pills without stopping, until she had almost used up all of the materials.


    Looking at the hundreds of bottles of Pills s piled up in front of him, Lu Feng finally revealed a rare smile.


    After keeping all the remaining spirit herbs and Trinity Cauldron s, Lu Feng started to circulate her energy to regulate her body. After concocting pills for three days and three nights in a row, although she did not exhaust Lu Feng''s True Yuan s, she did not have much left.


    After cultivating for thirty-six cycles, Lu Feng stopped and stood up.


    After she removed the array, Lu Feng felt the situation around him and felt that the True Yuan seemed to have become more solid than before. She was elated.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng''s expression changed, and shouted: "Who?"


    "Brother, you''re really sharp!"


    A hoarse voice sounded.


    Lu Feng looked towards the source of the voice and saw a black figure walking out from the Eight Trigrams Formation of the Nine Palaces.


    Seeing the person that entered, Lu Feng''s eyes focused, his intuition told him that this person was not simple.


    The man was of medium height, and wore a large black robe covering him from head to toe. A pointed hat covered his face, which made people wonder if he was just a pile of moving black cloth.


    Calmly walking out of the Eight Trigrams Formation, the black clothed man said to Lu Feng: "Brother, I only made a small noise, and it''s still inside the formation. I didn''t expect you to notice it, seems like your cultivation is very high!"


    Towards this guy who hid her head and showed her tail, Lu Feng instinctively felt displeased.


    Therefore, to the black clothed man''s words, Lu Feng did not reply, but instead said coldly: "Could it be that this brother is here for the deep valley?"


    "Tsk tsk!"


    The black-clothed man let out a strange laugh. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Brother, are you not interested in this deep valley?"


    That is why I say, brother, don''t worry about where I come from or what my goal is.


    Since everyone is interested in this deep valley, why not travel together? "


    With regards to the black clothed man''s suggestion, Lu Feng was a little doubtful. Seeing how he was hiding her head and showing her tail, she should be the type that did not like to get close to others.


    "Brother, you and I have never known each other before, yet you chose to be companions instead? I''m afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to do that, right?"


    After pondering for a moment, Lu Feng said to the black clothed man.


    Lu Feng''s tactful rejection was already clear, but the black-clothed man did not seem to realize it at all, and went on to say: "Brother, what you just said is not right.


    Besides, you''re a man. "


    At this point, the man in black realized that he had misspoken and stopped.


    Lu Feng''s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the other party was a girl?


    Her hoarse voice and the large black robe on her body seemed to be trying to conceal her true appearance, right?


    Thinking about that, Lu Feng suddenly used her Spiritual Sense to secretly look for the face under the cape of the black clothed man, he really wanted to see, who exactly was this black clothed man?


    However, to Lu Feng''s surprise, just as his Spiritual Sense was about to come into contact with the black clothed man''s hat, it was suddenly blocked.


    "Brother, it doesn''t seem right to pry into the background of others."


    The black clothed person had obviously noticed Lu Feng''s actions, as he coldly spoke in a rather displeased manner.


    Lu Feng never thought that the black clothed man''s ugly cloak was actually a treasure that could block other people''s Spiritual Sense.


    Although she was a little embarrassed, Lu Feng was certain that this man in black was not simple.


    Moreover, if this black-clothed person was really a woman, then who was she trying to confuse by concealing herself like this?


    After all, you only have Lu Feng and her here.


    "Brother, I''m truly sorry for what I did just now. Please forgive me!"


    Lu Feng thought for a while, but on the surface she remained calm and collected, and cupped her fists to the black clothed man, and said apologetically.


    "Never mind, I won''t bother with you this time. Just remember, curiosity can kill cats!"


    The man in black said lightly.

 C111

    Following that, the scene fell into an awkward atmosphere.


    Lu Feng thought, if this was a coincidence, then she wouldn''t care why the other party was dressed up like this, who wouldn''t have a few secrets?


    However, if it wasn''t a coincidence, then what was this woman planning?


    When Lu Feng remembered that her map had been obtained from the booklet that Wang Zhi Lin had gifted him, she started to suspect the whole thing.


    In the beginning, Lu Feng had her doubts about Wang Zhi Lin''s enthusiasm, but now, she suddenly met a black-clothed man who could be a woman, making Lu Feng a little confused.


    Ever since she had arrived at the Tian Yuan Continent, there were only a few women that she had interacted with before. Since Jiang Xin had already left, Lu Weirui would never make such a joke with him, furthermore, the two of them did not have the ability to pass through the layers of Demonic Beast''s seals without suffering any injuries. They could enter the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, let alone pass through the valley''s Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Grand Formation.


    And after entering the Heavenly Star City, the conflicts that Lu Feng had experienced before, were only with Lee Yunzhi, Zhao Fengnian and the others.


    The two spirit demon women who were with Hu Zhongtian earlier, were already dead in his hands.


    After thinking about it, Lu Feng felt that, with just Xu Yeyue, that proud daughter of the heavens, she wouldn''t be in a conflict with her at all. She probably wouldn''t arrange such a huge mess for him just for such a small matter.


    Moreover, if this trap was really set by Xu Yeyue, then she had no reason to be here.


    The more she thought about it, the more confused Lu Feng became.


    "How about it, brother?


    Have you made up your mind?


    Do you want to come with me?


    "You better think it through carefully. I look at the deep valley in front of me and think it''s very mysterious. There might not be any dangers there. If there''s one more person by my side, when I encounter an unexpected situation, wouldn''t I be able to find another helper?"


    The black clothed man saw that Lu Feng had not moved for a long time, and couldn''t help but urge him. He even specifically added a few words of persuasion, as if he was determined to follow Lu Feng into the valley.


    ''Forget it. Since I''m already here, I might as well take care of it. Who cares who she is, I should first investigate this strange place thoroughly before me. ''


    Lu Feng comforted herself.


    "Brother, from the looks of it, this isn''t the first time you''ve been here, is it?"


    Lu Feng did not answer the black clothed man''s question. Instead, she asked.


    "Indeed, this reputed one has been here no less than five times since this deep valley was discovered over a hundred years ago.


    It took a lot of groping and groping before I found the right path for the maze at the entrance of the valley.


    However, the valley was covered from top to bottom with fog, and this fog had the ability to swallow Spiritual Sense.


    In the fog, this reputed one''s Spiritual Sense could barely extend out to a distance of sixty meters before being unable to support itself any longer.


    As such, I haven''t even reached the bottom yet. I really don''t know what is down there.


    The last time I came here was thirty years ago, when I had just broken through the Middle Yellow Stage.


    This time, I coincidentally bumped into your brother, so I invited you to join me.


    What I was thinking was, one person is short, while two people are long.


    There was a person who was advancing and retreating together. Perhaps, this problem that had troubled this Seat for over a hundred years would be easily solved this time.


    So, brother, do you understand my original intention? "


    After hearing Lu Feng''s question, the black clothed man spoke a lot more. Along with her hoarse voice and the strange atmosphere, it gave people a creepy feeling.


    With regards to the black clothed man''s description, Lu Feng was skeptical, but she knew that if one person planned for less than two, Lu Feng would agree with her very much.


    Indeed, no one knew of the auspicious fate ahead of them. It was acceptable to have someone to help them along the way.


    "Senior, since you have been here so many times and are now throwing punches in the face, if this young master still does not agree, then this young master will become petty.


    That''s good, then. This young master will agree to follow Senior, and I hope that Senior will take care of me. "


    Since this black-clothed man said that she was several hundred years old, Lu Feng took the opportunity to address him as senior.


    The man in black nodded, and continued saying with a hoarse voice, "Brother, it is fate that we meet, there is no need to be too polite. Oh right, how should I address you?"


    Lu Feng said: "Senior is too courteous, I am Lu Feng, and have yet to ask, senior''s name?"


    The black clothed man faintly sighed and said, "I have long forgotten my mortal name. You can just call me Qing Jing Idle Man."


    Since Lu Feng had already been suspicious about it, she still harbored a lot of doubts towards the title of Qing Jing Idle Man.


    However, Lu Feng also knew that now was not the time to continue wasting time with Qing Jing Idle Man. It was best to quickly enter the valley, and when she found the underground palace, she would definitely know the real purpose of Qing Jing Idle Man.


    "Since senior has entered the valley many times, please inform me of any details."


    After making up her mind, Lu Feng told the Qing Jing Idle Man about the details of entering the valley.


    The Qing Jing Idle Man said in a straightforward manner: "I have already told you, this fog has the ability to devour Spiritual Sense. So, after entering the fog, remember that Flying Sword and other treasures are not allowed to leave your side.


    Qing Jing Idle Man told Lu Feng about her previous experiences when she had entered the valley, and at the end, she said: "Brother Lu, we have become temporary teammates, so let''s talk about the other unsightly things first."


    Under Lu Feng''s repeated requests, Qing Jing Idle Man had already changed his address to call Lu Feng Brother Lu, but Lu Feng still addressed him as senior.


    "Senior, please speak!"


    With regards to the words of the Qing Jing Idle Man, Lu Feng still agreed to it.


    Even now, Qing Jing Idle Man had not removed all of his equipment, and still kept his face hidden under his hat.


    "Brother Lu, as your teammates, the most important thing is that we cannot attack each other. Furthermore, when the other side is in danger, we must rescue them in time.


    Is this okay? "


    Lu Feng nodded her head and continued: "Secondly, it''s about the harvests.


    If we enter the valley this time and discover anything or gain, we must split it equally.


    That shouldn''t be a problem, right? "


    Seeing Lu Feng nod her head again, Qing Jing Idle Man stood up and said: "Since you agree, then let''s go now, what do you think?"


    "Senior, after you!"


    Lu Feng said very politely as she followed Qing Jing Idle Man to the edge of the cliff. Each of them summoned their own Flying Sword and flew into the valley.

 C112

    The two of them, one in front and one behind, carefully controlled the Flying Sword and descended into the bottomless valley.


    Due to the presence of Flying Sword and the fact that the two of them were experts in controlling the sword, their descending speed was actually very slow.


    Lu Feng enlarged her Spiritual Sense to around thirty meters from beginning to end as she used her mind to sense the situation around him.


    Lu Feng realized that since they had descended about a hundred meters, the cliff walls that were previously as sharp as knives had gradually started to tilt slightly, forcing them to move a little bit further in.


    If one were to look at it from the side of the valley, the descent trajectory of Lu Feng and the others started from a straight line downwards, then started to tilt slightly, with a distinct line breaking on them.


    Moreover, that cliff seemed very special. Lu Feng''s Spiritual Sense was simply unable to enter it, as if there was a natural protective array around it.


    The strangest thing was that no matter whether it was going straight up or down, even if it was sloping slightly, there was nothing on top of the cliff. Not to mention the fact that there were a few flowers and plants on top of the cliff every now and then, without even a small protrusion, they were as smooth as a mirror from top to bottom.


    This was truly a mysterious place!


    Lu Feng couldn''t help but mutter in her heart.


    After descending for more than three kilometers, Lu Feng started to get anxious, Why was it not the end yet?


    "Senior, how deep were you before?"


    Standing on top of the Flying Sword, Lu Feng asked Qing Jing Idle Man via sound transmission.


    Not long later, Lu Feng received a reply from the Qing Jing Idle Man, "Brother Lu, before this reigns at fifteen hundred meters, I no longer dared to go any deeper.


    "Why, are you in a hurry?"


    Hearing this, Lu Feng''s brows relaxed a little, and she continued to ask via sound transmission: "Senior, in the process of descending, did you encounter any attacks?"


    "Attack?" Not really.


    "Did you think of anything?"


    Qing Jing Idle Man asked.


    "Senior, I feel that this place is a bit strange, and a bit lifeless.


    The other thing was that this rock wall was as smooth as a mirror. It was a bit illogical.


    Senior, do you think that it is possible for us to enter into another formation? Subconsciously, I think that we are falling, but in reality, we might not have moved at all? "


    Lu Feng said with uncertainty.


    "Stop!"


    Qing Jing Idle Man suddenly shouted, and stopped the Flying Sword under his feet, hovering in the air.


    "Brother Lu, your words have actually reminded me that we might really fall into a trap and not know of it.


    "Let''s wait here for a while and see if we can find any clues."


    Qing Jing Idle Man said to Lu Feng.


    The two of them carefully searched around, but found nothing.


    Suddenly, Lu Feng stared at the cliff that was as smooth as a mirror.


    "Senior, when you came here before, did you fly straight up and down every time?"


    Lu Feng suddenly asked Qing Jing Idle Man.


    "Yeah, what''s so strange about that?"


    Qing Jing Idle Man looked in Lu Feng''s direction with a puzzled expression.


    "Senior, tell me, what would happen if we followed this cliff face and flew horizontally instead of downwards?"


    Lu Feng asked.


    "Brother Lu, you aren''t thinking of searching along the cliff face are you?"


    Qing Jing Idle Man asked suspiciously.


    "Senior, since we can''t go down, why don''t we go the other way and try a different direction?"


    Lu Feng said.


    "Brother Lu, what you said is not without reason. This valley is more than one thousand meters deep, and we have not reached the bottom yet, so there is indeed something fishy about it.


    "Alright, let''s follow your instructions and try our luck on the left and right."


    Qing Jing Idle Man muttered to himself for a long time before finally saying to Lu Feng helplessly.


    Immediately, the two of them changed their route and flew towards the left.


    Why to the left?


    According to Lu Feng, before they came down, there was a cliff on the left side. If they could quickly discover the existence of the mountain wall, then it would prove that Lu Feng was wrong. And if they could not see the mountain wall, then it would mean that they had indeed entered the array and had to carefully search for a way to break it.


    It was unknown whether it was because of the blessing of the heavens, or because Lu Feng''s luck truly surpassed others.


    The two of them flew to the left for no more than the time it took for an incense stick to burn.


    Lu Feng looked ahead with some surprise and realized that she was currently in the middle of a ten meter high valley, and beneath her feet were lush and verdant trees.


    When he turned around and looked again, he saw that the road he had come from was still misty and he couldn''t see anything.


    The most surprising thing was that there seemed to be a natural barrier about three feet behind Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man.


    However, Lu Feng realized that even here, his Spiritual Sense was still being suppressed. It could still only spread to a distance of more than sixty meters away, similar to when she was in the fog just now.


    "Senior, we should have broken through the boundaries of the mist formation and entered the true valley.


    Do you think we should land on the ground, recover our energy, and then make our plans for the next step? "


    Lu Feng said to the Qing Jing Idle Man beside him.


    "Brother Lu, it looks like your guess is correct. If it was according to my original method, then it might have continued to spin in that mist.


    This is also my first time here. Like you, I do not understand anything about this place, so I raise both my hands in support of your suggestion. "


    The Qing Jing Idle Man said as he controlled the Flying Sword and descended.


    "Senior, be careful!"


    Just as Lu Feng shouted, Qing Jing Idle Man had already landed on the ground. She turned her head and said to Lu Feng: "Brother Lu, what do you want me to be careful of?"


    Lu Feng saw that there was no danger below so she controlled the Flying Sword and landed beside the Qing Jing Idle Man. She held the Crimson Nimbus Sword in her hand and said: "Senior, since this place is so quiet, we should be careful!"


    The Qing Jing Idle Man, however, spoke in a disapproving manner: "Brother Lu, I think you are overthinking things. This place is filled with flowers, plants and trees, what danger could it possibly be?"


    Right at this moment, a change occurred. Two tree vines as thick as thumb popped out of the ground below them. One on the left and one on the right, they came at them from all directions. At the same time, a few thin tree vines silently appeared from the ground and started to wrap around the two of them.


    "This is bad!"


    The sudden turn of events caused Lu Feng to be greatly alarmed, she immediately waved the Crimson Nimbus Sword in her hand and slashed towards the tree trunk.


    But Lu Feng had no time to deal with the ones beneath her feet.


    Compared to Lu Feng, the Qing Jing Idle Man at the side was in a much worse state. Because of her, the Flying Sword was put away right away, and he stood there empty-handed.

 C113

    What was even worse was that Qing Jing Idle Man''s feet were also wrapped tightly by the tree vines that had silently sprinted out. This greatly restricted Qing Jing Idle Man''s movement.


    Qing Jing Idle Man seemed to be infuriated, with a wave of his hand, he struck the tree vines in front of him. With a wave of his hand, he took out a three foot long soft whip and actually attacked the tree vines.


    At the same time, the Flying Sword just now appeared in Qing Jing Idle Man''s left hand once again and swept towards the tree vines beneath his feet.


    After cutting off the totem on his leg, Qing Jing Idle Man''s figure flashed, stepping on the Flying Sword, he arrived in the air, waving his whip and clashing with the long tree vines.


    After Lu Feng cut the tree branch on top of it in half, a flame suddenly emerged from beneath his feet and burned the tree branch beneath his feet into ash. Only then did she look at Qing Jing Idle Man, who was in the air, with great interest.


    The Flying Sword below Qing Jing Idle Man was just a normal weapon. Looking at the splendor on it, it was only at the level of a Mysterious rank treasure. Other than flying as a carrier, it basically did not have any other uses.


    However, just because this sword was ordinary, it had instead aroused Lu Feng''s interest and she looked at it absentmindedly.


    There was no other reason. Qing Jing Idle Man was in the air and from Lu Feng''s angle, he could easily see Qing Jing Idle Man''s pair of small feet stepping on top of the Flying Sword.


    As the Flying Sword was not more than an inch wide, Lu Feng could clearly see the true appearance of that pair of small feet.


    This was not to say that Lu Feng had some strange fetishism, but rather that she was wearing a pair of white warrior boots. Although it was a male style, it was much smaller and was very small.


    Seeing all these, Lu Feng felt that it was strange. Looking at her attire, this Qing Jing Idle Man was really interesting.


    Just then, the Qing Jing Idle Man at the top suddenly spoke out: "Brother Lu, it''s better if you hurry up and use the Imperial Sword Technique, I feel that there are dangers everywhere."


    Lu Feng was shocked, her eyes quickly regained back to normal. Now was not the time to investigate just who the Qing Jing Idle Man was.


    Thinking about it, Lu Feng threw the Crimson Nimbus Sword in her hands away, and flew into the air, standing steadily on top of the Crimson Nimbus Sword.


    Seeing the Qing Jing Idle Man carelessly brandishing the long whip to block the incoming tree vines while constantly turning his head to look around, Lu Feng could not help but ask: "Senior, did you discover something?"


    The Qing Jing Idle Man did not reply Lu Feng. Instead, he urged the Flying Sword to fly towards the direction of the vine, and the whip in his hand suddenly changed, as if it was a nimble and flexible sword, constantly slicing at the tree vines in front of him.


    After walking forward for about thirty meters, without even turning back, Qing Jing Idle Man suddenly shouted at Lu Feng: "Follow me!"


    Lu Feng focused her gaze. Up till now, he did not discover the crux of the array, nor did she find any trace of the array working in the Spiritual Sense''s senses.


    But looking at Qing Jing Idle Man''s way of doing things, he seemed to have discovered something.


    Lu Feng didn''t think much about it and urged the Crimson Nimbus Sword under her feet to slowly follow behind Qing Jing Idle Man, flying forward.


    The two of them, one in front and one behind, flew for more than a hundred zhang.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, that tree branch suddenly disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had suddenly appeared.


    Lu Feng looked around and discovered that they had arrived above a clearing in the forest. Below them was a smooth and flat piece of land, like the surface of a huge boulder.


    After putting away the Flying Sword, Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man landed on the giant boulder that had a radius of fifty meters and were a bit speechless.


    "Senior, what happened just now?" How did the tree vines suddenly disappear? "


    Lu Feng asked somewhat curiously.


    Qing Jing Idle Man said rather impatiently, "How would I know? However, this place is truly strange! "


    Suddenly, Lu Feng heard a rustling sound.


    "Senior, did you hear something as well?"


    Lu Feng frowned, and asked the Qing Jing Idle Man for confirmation.


    "Yes, this sound is really strange!"


    Qing Jing Idle Man also said.


    However, her face was hidden under the cape so Lu Feng couldn''t see his expression.


    As he spoke, the voice became louder and clearer.


    "Prepare for battle, I''m afraid they are not friendly!"


    Qing Jing Idle Man sighed and said to Lu Feng.


    As for Lu Feng, she had long ago brought the Crimson Nimbus Sword into the air, and was circling around the two of them as they flew up and down. In her hand was also the Longsword, the one that Hu Zhongtian had hung on his waist earlier.


    Following the disappearance of Hu Zhongtian''s dead body, this Flying Sword that had reached the level of Yellow Rank spirit artifacts became ownerless. At this time, Lu Feng took it out and prepared to deal with any possible future dangers.


    On the other hand, Qing Jing Idle Man threw his long whip into the air, forming a circle after circle of whip shadows surrounding the two of them.


    A light green scimitar appeared in her hand. The blade was as wide as a baby''s palm and looked very small. There was a faint green glow on it, like the glow of spring water.


    Just as the two of them finished their preparations, the source of the voice finally appeared in their line of sight.


    Countless black flying insects appeared around the two of them. The rustling sound came from the small six legs of the flying insects as they quickly crawled on the ground.


    "Dammit, it''s this kind of hateful fellow!"


    Seeing the Armored Insect appear, Qing Jing Idle Man angrily muttered.


    "Senior, do you recognize this thing?"


    Lu Feng asked curiously.


    "This thing is called a Sickle Armoured Beetle, it lives in a group. Other than the six legs, there is also a pair of sickle-shaped legs in front, which is their weapon of attack.


    This kind of Devilish Beast is not very strong, only in the middle and late stages of the Houtian realm. However, there are too many of them, and they usually appear in a large group, covering the sky and the earth.


    What was worse was that these fellows had the ability to fly for a short period of time. When they attacked, there would be no blind spots from all directions. It was truly annoying.


    Furthermore, this kind of social Devilish Beast would usually have a very powerful queen bug that would hide in the dark. This was also the reason why their actions were organized.


    To say the least, it''s just a bunch of bugs. It''s very possible that they could destroy a small city. "


    From the looks of it, Qing Jing Idle Man really hated these kinds of worms. His body unconsciously shrank towards Lu Feng, and explained the specific situation to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng looked around with a serious expression. The Sickle Armoured Beetle that had already appeared seemed like it was worth more than a hundred and eighty thousand.


    In other words, Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man would have to face the attacks of over a hundred thousand Innate Experts.

 C114

    At that moment, the sea of insects had already arrived before the two of them.


    Amidst the astonishment in the eyes of the two, they attacked without the slightest hesitation.


    The Sickle Armoured Beetle at the front suddenly spread its two wings and flew into the air, attacking towards the two of them.


    Looking at the Sickle Armoured Beetle''s sickle-like legs that continuously opened and closed, Lu Feng was a little shocked. If the insects accidentally flew onto her body with this kind of power, wouldn''t that mean she would immediately tear off a few pieces of her flesh?


    "Senior, be careful!"


    Lu Feng changed from her original standing to standing with her back to Qing Jing Idle Man, facing the flying bugs on each side of him and on her left and right respectively.


    At the same time, Lu Feng used her left hand to control the Crimson Nimbus Sword in the air. In front of him and to her left and right, a net of sword energy continuously interweaved, blocking the Sickle Armoured Beetle''s advance.


    On the other side, Qing Jing Idle Man was also commanding her long whip. Like a snake, it quickly swam to the left and right, killing the Sickle Armoured Beetle that was right in front of them.


    When she fought with the Sickle Armoured Beetle, Lu Feng felt slightly more at ease.


    The strength of these flying insects were not high. After colliding with the light of the Crimson Nimbus Sword, they were easily minced into pieces.


    Since there was no danger on her side right now, Lu Feng started to pay attention to the Qing Jing Idle Man behind him.


    As the two stood with their backs facing each other, Lu Feng had been wholeheartedly defending and did not pay attention to anything else.


    Now that they were distracted, they realized that their shoulders were almost touching.


    Moreover, the faint fragrance that Lu Feng was smelling, was coming from Qing Jing Idle Man''s body.


    Combined with the small delicate boots she had seen just now and the green scimitar in Qing Jing Idle Man''s hand, Lu Feng was 100% sure that this Qing Jing Idle Man was definitely a woman. And it was even a young woman, simply not what she had said, he was already a few hundred years old.


    Qing Jing Idle Man once said that she himself found this deep valley more than a hundred years ago, and there were many times before that. Now, it seems that he was the one who made all these up.


    If that was the case, the sudden appearance of the Qing Jing Idle Man must have been due to some other ulterior motive.


    Until now, Lu Feng had already made a rough guess as to the true identity of the Qing Jing Idle Man, but she just could not fathom her intentions.


    As Lu Feng was indulging in her fantasies, minutes and seconds passed by. The enormous boulder that the two of them were standing on, as well as the surroundings of the huge boulder, were already filled with countless insect corpses.


    "Senior, I don''t have many questions, may I ask if senior can help to answer them?" Lu Feng suddenly turned and said to Qing Jing Idle Man.


    The fight with the Qing Jing Idle Man was relatively easy. None of the flying insects could break through the defensive barrier formed by the long whip.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s sudden question, the Qing Jing Idle Man used her unchanging hoarse voice to speak: "Brother Lu, please speak. I will definitely speak whatever I know."


    Lu Feng said: "Senior, since the highest level of strength these bugs have is at the middle and late stages of the Postliminary Realm, then why didn''t we notice their existence before?


    Although this place has a certain amount of suppression towards our Spiritual Sense, but it doesn''t mean that we are unable to sense the existence of this kind of strength, right?


    Moreover, I don''t feel any formation around here. "


    "Tsk tsk!"


    The Qing Jing Idle Man laughed strangely and said: "Brother Lu, I forgot to tell you this before, but the two pieces of armor from the Sickle Armoured Beetle are not only their defensive weapons, but they also have a special ability, and that is to conceal their Qi, to prevent us human cultivators from sensing them.


    "So, do you understand?"


    Lu Feng then had a sudden realization.


    The time he had come to the Tian Yuan Continent was simply too short, and even though he had inherited a portion of Lu Feng''s memories, that good-for-nothing kid''s knowledge was truly unable to provide him much help.


    In the past few days, although Lu Feng had read a lot of books in the Heavenly Star Academy''s library, most of them were about the history of the continent, and her understanding of the various Devilish Beast s, Demonic Beast s, spirit medicines, and ores were truly limited.


    Although some of the creatures in the Tian Yuan Continent were similar to the Primordial World of Lu Feng''s previous life, there were even more differences. After all, this was a lower level space.


    As a result, Lu Feng''s current knowledge was a little lacking.


    "Brother Lu, the first few Sickle Armoured Beetle we killed were all of the lowest level.


    From now on, the Sickle Armoured Beetle s will definitely get stronger. We must think of a way to escape quickly, otherwise, we will both die of exhaustion here. "


    Qing Jing Idle Man said to Lu Feng while he killed the Sickle Armoured Beetle that was constantly pouncing towards him. The meaning behind his words was very obvious, and he wanted Lu Feng to quickly think of a way.


    Lu Feng had also realized that relying only on Crimson Nimbus Sword s for both offense and defense was indeed somewhat lacking. If the two people''s True Yuan s were to be exhausted, wouldn''t they lose their lives in a sea of insects?


    Lu Feng thought for a while and said to the Qing Jing Idle Man, "Senior, I do not have many methods, after I finish, I should be able to take all attacks below the Innate rank head on.


    However, this formation needs a bit of time to be set up. This young master might not be able to take care of his defenses.


    Therefore, I hope senior can help this young master! "


    "Then hurry up!"


    Qing Jing Idle Man had long been impatient, especially when facing these disgusting little bugs, this was probably her nature as a woman.


    Immediately, the Qing Jing Idle Man expanded the defensive area of the long whip to completely cover the two of them.


    Lu Feng did not put away the Crimson Nimbus Sword. Instead, she allowed it to wander around the outside of the long whip and continued to kill those Sickle Armoured Beetle s.


    When Qing Jing Idle Man''s long whip wrapped around them, Lu Feng took out twelve small Formation Flag s and swung them at their surroundings.


    Following Lu Feng''s continuous chants, the twelve small flags, according to their position, were arranged around the man.


    "Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, rise!"


    Following Lu Feng''s loud shout, the 12 little flags suddenly disappeared into thin air.


    At the same time, the Chaotic Clock that had been staying deep within Lu Feng''s sea of consciousness also flew above the formation and hid.


    After the formation was set up, the pressure around the two of them loosened. No more bugs flew over.


    Several feet away from the two of them, there was a faint layer of black light. It was the endless sea of insects. They had all rushed into the outside of the great formation and were firmly attached to it.


    Although she told the Qing Jing Idle Man that this was a defensive formation, Lu Feng knew that this was definitely the strongest killing formation in the entire history. It was just that the Formation Flag had only just finished refining it, and it still needed the nourishment of killing intent and fiendish aura.

 C115

    The reason why Lu Feng took out the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation s right now, was because she suddenly remembered that this set of Formation Flag had never used it ever since they were refined, let alone provide it with nourishment for growth.


    And there are so many Sickle Armoured Beetle here, isn''t that the best nourishment?


    Not only could it solve the problem that the two of them were facing, it could also help them train their Formation Flag s and kill two birds with one stone.


    As for the Chaotic Clock, that was something that Lu Feng had intentionally brought out. On the surface, it was used as the eye of the array, but in reality, it was at the top of the array, absorbing the scattered soul force, strengthening the Chaotic Clock''s own strength.


    After doing all of this, Lu Feng called back her Crimson Nimbus Sword, and said to Qing Jing Idle Man: "Senior, the great array is complete, we are not in any danger anymore, you should retract your whip, and rest for a while."


    Qing Jing Idle Man took back his whip and without placing it on the Storage Bag, he wrapped it around his arm and sat down on the boulder. He took out a few Pills s that were used to replenish the True Yuan and put them into his hat.


    Lu Feng also took out a few of her Cyan Spirit Pills, in order to recover the True Yuan that she had consumed a lot of them.


    "Brother Lu, didn''t you say that you are using a defensive formation?


    Why do I feel like the Sickle Armoured Beetle that are stuck on the light barrier is quickly depleting their vitality? "


    After recovering the True Yuan, Qing Jing Idle Man stared at the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation that Lu Feng had arranged for a while before asking curiously.


    "Senior, it''s like this. Although this young master''s formation possesses a certain amount of attack power, it is far inferior to its defensive power.


    Moreover, its attack power could also be considered passive. Only when it was attacked would it passively absorb the energy or vitality of the attacker, replenishing the energy consumed by the formation.


    So, this young master has always used it as a defensive array. "


    Although he had roughly confirmed Qing Jing Idle Man''s true identity, it was not to the extent of handing over all of his background to others.


    "Brother Lu, if I''m not wrong, your formation seems to be one that can grow, right?"


    Qing Jing Idle Man''s eyes were also sharp, and with a single glance, he could see that this Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation was not ordinary.


    "Is that so? Senior.


    This formation was something that this young master had obtained by chance, so he didn''t know that it had this sort of effect.


    However, Senior, since you said that it is capable of growth, then I have used it several times.


    Lu Feng asked pretentiously.


    "Tsk tsk!" This is your own fault! "


    Qing Jing Idle Man replied to the question with no response and no longer spoke.


    However, Qing Jing Idle Man was silently cursing in his heart. What a crafty kid, to actually play around with me! Just you wait, if I don''t dig out all of your secrets, I''ll just use your surname!


    Lu Feng did not know that Qing Jing Idle Man had already known that he had refined the array himself.


    After a while, the Qing Jing Idle Man suddenly said: "Brother Lu, when you were setting up the array just now, I saw a small yellow thing quickly disappearing in the sky above the array, what is that thing?"


    Lu Feng continued to trick him and said, "Senior, that was obtained together with this formation. At that time, the twelve Formation Flag s were placed together with the small dark yellow bell, and beside them was a jade slip that recorded the method of laying down this formation. It especially stated that the small dark yellow bell was the core of the formation, and it had to be laid out together with the formation to achieve the greatest effect of the formation.


    However, that jade slip did not mention that this is a formation that can grow. "


    After Lu Feng said this, the Qing Jing Idle Man nodded his head in understanding, and said: "Brother Lu, how about this, since we have your array formation to provide defense, then we might as well do as we want and kill for a while, when we are exhausted, we can retrieve the treasures and restore the True Yuan in the array, and then we can speed up the insect killing.


    I wonder what Brother Lu thinks? "


    Lu Feng thought that this was indeed a good idea. What the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation absorbed was actually the ferocious energy of the Sickle Armoured Beetle. If she could control the Crimson Nimbus Sword to go out and kill a few more bugs, not only would she be able to let it absorb a little more fierce energy and increase its growth speed.


    Moreover, with the endless sea of insects, who knew how long they''d be stuck here? It was best to get out as soon as possible.


    "What Senior said is true, this young master has his own intentions."


    Saying that, Lu Feng stood up, took out his own Crimson Nimbus Sword, and commanded it to rush out of the area enveloped by the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, rushing into the endless sea of bugs.


    As for the Qing Jing Idle Man, he took out his long whip and the light green scimitar, and charged into the sea of insects, continuously killing the Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    As time passed, the number of Sickle Armoured Beetle outside who were at the early Houtian realm became fewer and fewer. In their place was a large group of bigger bugs that were at the middle Houtian realm. They continued to attack around the large array, not caring about their own casualties.


    This situation continued for three days.


    During these three days, Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man attacked the sea of insects non-stop. If they were tired, they would retrieve their treasures and under the protection of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, they would rest for a while.


    As the number of Sickle Armoured Beetle killed increased, the twelve Formation Flag seemed to faintly show signs of leveling up.


    In this period of time, Lu Feng found out that the real strength of the Qing Jing Idle Man was actually at the peak of the Late Yellow Stage, and was even three stages higher than Lu Feng''s strength.


    Of course, in regards to Lu Feng''s strength, which was equivalent to the level of her Early Yellow Stage, the degree of shock she received was not one bit inferior to Lu Feng''s.


    After such a long battle, had a feeling that he was about to break through to the middle stage of the Jindan Stage.


    As for Qing Jing Idle Man, who had displayed his divine might, he seemed to show signs of advancing as well.


    Lu Feng was also a little curious. She really didn''t know what kind of performance cultivators with Yellow Stage would have, would they become like him, having their own Nascent Soul in their dantian.


    "Brother Lu, the bugs outside are now all at the peak of the late stage of the Postliminary Realm. This should be the last elites of the Insect Sea.


    If I am not wrong, there is a high chance that the queen bug will reveal itself after killing all the bugs.


    I feel that the mother insect must be a very powerful Demonic Beast, and its strength is even a level higher than the two of us. "


    Qing Jing Idle Man suddenly said to Lu Feng worriedly.

 C116

    After hearing Qing Jing Idle Man''s words, Lu Feng''s eyes narrowed as he said in a rather heavy tone, "Senior, why don''t we not attack at the same time and leave one person in peak condition? This way, if the mother insect appears, it would give the other person enough time to recover.


    Moreover, every time we attack the sea of insects outside, when half of the True Yuan is used up, we will immediately stop and switch to another person to ensure our continued fighting strength.


    I wonder what senior thinks? "


    Lu Feng said to the Qing Jing Idle Man in a slightly exhausted manner.


    To be honest, for such a long period of time, he was constantly killing flying bugs. Even a person with a strong determination like Lu Feng felt a sense of exhaustion.


    Of course, the condition of the Qing Jing Idle Man was not as good as Lu Feng''s. She had a natural aversion towards these flying insects, and these past few days, they had surrounded her in all aspects. What he could see were all the disgusting figures of the flying bugs.


    With regards to Lu Feng''s suggestion, Qing Jing Idle Man naturally would not oppose it. This was indeed a good way to maintain their endurance.


    Brother Lu, you should recover first.


    The Qing Jing Idle Man said.


    "Senior, since this Sickle Armoured Beetle is unable to break through my formation, why don''t we all stop for now? Once we completely recover, we can split them up and kill them. What does senior think?"


    Lu Feng made another suggestion.


    Qing Jing Idle Man thought about it, that made sense, since he had already wasted so many days here, even if he had to face these repulsive worms for a while longer, he would still be able to endure it.


    "Alright!"


    Qing Jing Idle Man happily took back her long whip and curved blade, and started to meditate.


    This time, Lu Feng finally noticed that Qing Jing Idle Man''s hand that was wrapped around her right arm, finally revealing his hand.


    Looking at her jade-like skin, Lu Feng once again confirmed her guess. The black-clothed man who called himself Qing Jing Idle Man should be that person.


    But why would she do that?


    This point, was something that Lu Feng couldn''t wrap her head around no matter how much she thought about it.


    However, facing the pressure of the sea of insects and the queen bug that was about to appear, Lu Feng had no time to think about all this nonsense.


    Once the True Yuan was fully recovered, Lu Feng took out her own Crimson Nimbus Sword, rushed out of the array and started to kill the other Sickle Armoured Beetle s.


    Just like that, another day passed, and the Sickle Armoured Beetle outside the formation finally stopped surging over.


    In other words, under Lu Feng''s and Qing Jing Idle Man''s combined efforts, the endless sea of insects had finally been killed clean after four days and four nights.


    As for the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, under Lu Feng''s expectation, it finally levelled up from the previous Profound Stage array, to the point where it had reached the Earth Stage. One of the Formation Flag among them was already able to condense a three meter tall Devilish God.


    However, Lu Feng did not have the intention to summon his Devilish God right now. Facing these low level Sickle Armoured Beetle, using a killing tool like his Devilish God was a little overkill.


    After killing the last Sickle Armoured Beetle, Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man sat cross legged on the ground, and began to quickly recover their energy, waiting for the mother insect to appear.


    But, more than two hours had passed since Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man expected it to be, and the mother insect had not appeared.


    "Senior, will this queen bug not appear?"


    Lu Feng asked somewhat suspiciously.


    "This is also my first time seeing such a disgusting thing. However, I''ve read about them in ancient books, so I really don''t know how to explain the current situation."


    Qing Jing Idle Man said in a depressed tone.


    "Since that''s the case, then we might as well leave immediately. Senior, what do you think?"


    Lu Feng enlarged his own Spiritual Sense and carefully sensed the situation outside the great array. After finding nothing, she retrieved his Spiritual Sense and said to Qing Jing Idle Man.


    "Alright!


    It''s not a good place to stay for long! "


    The Qing Jing Idle Man nodded and said.


    After that, Lu Feng activated a spell and retrieved the twelve Formation Flag and the Chaotic Clock in the air, preparing to leave with Qing Jing Idle Man.


    However, just as the two were about to leave, an old woman''s voice rang out, "These two brats have vicious hearts!


    After killing so many of my descendants, are you prepared to leave? "


    "Who?"


    Lu Feng was shocked, she immediately took out her Crimson Nimbus Sword and stood with her back facing Qing Jing Idle Man, looking around vigilantly.


    As for the Qing Jing Idle Man behind Lu Feng, he also took out his own long whip and scimitar, concentrating fully on being vigilant.


    "How laughable!


    You two brats can''t even find the location of this old body, yet you want to resist?


    I advise you all to obediently put down your weapons and return with this old one! "


    That old voice appeared again and said to the two of them in disdain.


    "Why do you not dare to show your face, you hiding your head and showing your tail?"


    Qing Jing Idle Man suddenly roared.


    "Little girl, don''t think that I don''t know your true appearance just because you made a black leather bag.


    This old one has long been in front of your eyes, but you just haven''t discovered me yet! "


    The old voice continued with disdain.


    "This is bad!"


    Lu Feng suddenly bellowed, she turned around and wrapped her arms around Qing Jing Idle Man''s slender waist and shouted: "Rise!"


    He brought along Qing Jing Idle Man''s body and fled upwards.


    At the same time, the red figure of the Crimson Nimbus Sword flashed and became the size of a door board, appearing at Lu Feng''s feet, and carried the two of them flying upwards.


    "Haha, boy, you have good experience!"


    What a pity, do you think you can leave just like that?


    Get down here! "


    The old voice laughed out loud, but in the end, its voice suddenly turned stern as it shouted out explosively.


    At the same time, Lu Feng''s rising momentum slowed down, as if she was trapped by something, and could no longer continue to rise.


    Lu Feng''s lips formed into a clap of spring thunder as she shouted, "Open!"


    A sky-covering palm shot out and slapped towards the top.


    The owner of that aged voice, who was also the mother worm of the Sickle Armoured Beetle, seemed to have not expected Lu Feng to have this kind of ability. In a slight moment of blankness, the obstruction in the air had already been broken by Lu Feng, and she was successfully sent flying.


    After escaping the bindings, Lu Feng did not dare to be negligent, riding on the Crimson Nimbus Sword beneath her feet, she suddenly changed her direction and quickly dodged to the side.


    "Kid, you do have some skills!"


    The old voice gasped in admiration, then went silent.


    "Let me go!"


    A gentle and tender voice suddenly came out from Lu Feng''s embrace, at the same time, his arm felt a pushing force.


    Lu Feng was startled, then reacted, a moment ago, when she was in a rush, she directly carried Qing Jing Idle Man in her arms, and now, was just about to struggle and break out of his embrace.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from below, Lu Feng who had stopped in mid air, and Qing Jing Idle Man who was still in Lu Feng''s embrace, struggling, both of them looked down in shock.

 C117

    As the rumbling below became louder and louder, the boulder that Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man were standing on started to shake.


    As they watched the boulder sway more and more and continuously towards the ground, the expressions of Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man in Lu Feng''s embrace became somewhat indecisive. At the same time, they thought of one possibility: There was definitely something wrong with that boulder.


    "Bam!"


    With a loud bang, the huge rock suddenly shot out from the ground like a cannonball, smashing towards the two people in the sky.


    Lu Feng immediately controlled the Crimson Nimbus Sword and quickly dodged to the side to avoid the giant boulder. But even so, the two people''s sleeves were still blown by the huge rock, making sounds of wind.


    After stabilizing themselves with great difficulty, the two of them looked down.


    What had originally been a huge rock had now turned into a large black hole. An endless amount of fiendish aura was being emitted from the hole.


    "Let me go quickly!"


    The Qing Jing Idle Man in Lu Feng''s arms suddenly struggled, her voice also returning to its original hoarseness, no longer the sweet and crispy female voice that was revealed a moment ago.


    Lu Feng finally realised at this time that she had indeed held him for a little too long.


    Moreover, at this time, the Qing Jing Idle Man was constantly struggling, causing their bodies to rub against each other, and both of them felt a strange feeling flowing through their bodies.


    Lu Feng was shocked. This was definitely not the time to think about such things.


    Therefore, Lu Feng hurriedly loosened her arm, and said in a deep voice: "Senior, please release the Flying Sword first, in case you fall down after this young master lets go."


    Hearing that, the Qing Jing Idle Man stopped struggling, he raised his hand and released the Flying Sword, and without turning his head, he said to Lu Feng: "Alright, you can let go now."


    Lu Feng let go of her arm as instructed. She pushed off the ground with her feet and returned to her own Flying Sword.


    At that moment, Lu Feng felt a sense of loss and disappointment, and her heart constantly thought back to Qing Jing Idle Man''s curvy body and the faint fragrance on his body.


    "Brother Lu, what are you thinking about?


    Aren''t you going to hurry up?


    That guy is about to appear! "


    Seeing Lu Feng standing there in a daze, as if she was reminiscing about the feeling she had felt earlier, Qing Jing Idle Man fiercely glared at Lu Feng and reminded him unhappily.


    It was just that Qing Jing Idle Man had forgotten, she was always wearing a wide cape and Lu Feng could not even see her face, let alone these white eyes.


    Receiving the Qing Jing Idle Man''s reminder, Lu Feng immediately retracted her charming thoughts, calmed her mind and looked down into the big hole.


    Following the appearance of the fiendish aura, the huge hole had already been covered by the black fog. From within the black fog, rustling sounds could be heard continuously, as if something was struggling to climb out of the hole.


    Lu Feng wanted to call upon the Qing Jing Idle Man to escape before the mother insect appeared, but she suddenly moved his body. She was stunned to find that his spirit was already locked onto him, unless he gave up on her next exploration and left the valley right now, she would be trapped within the sensing range of the spirit, and would have nowhere to run.


    Furthermore, Lu Feng did not know what dangers she would encounter once she entered the valley, so she could only send a sound transmission to the Qing Jing Idle Man. The two of them stealthily moved away from the large hole, moving several hundred meters away.


    "Little kids, are you two ready? This old one will be coming out soon. "


    The old voice of the mother insect came from the black fog again.


    At the same time, an overwhelming pressure spread out in all directions.


    The black mist below suddenly started to churn, continuously decreasing in number. In the end, an enormous figure appeared within the gradually fading black mist.


    That figure was a enlarged version of the Sickle Armoured Beetle. However, the size of the Sickle Armoured Beetle had reached a diameter of almost ten meters, which was far beyond what those fist-sized ordinary Sickle Armoured Beetle could compare with.


    In addition, the queen bug''s color was no longer the dark color of the larva, but a myriad of colors that constantly changed between each other.


    The queen bug opened its mouth wide, like a whale absorbing water, and it kept devouring the black fog. As it devoured the black fog, its aura kept increasing.


    Sensing the mother insect''s aura, Lu Feng transmitted her voice to the Qing Jing Idle Man beside him: "Senior, the strength of this mother insect should have already far surpassed the Late Profound Stage.


    Senior, from my point of view, even if the two of us were to combine our powers, I''m afraid we would still not be a match for this Demonic Beast.


    I wonder if Senior has a way to break through your enemy? "


    Before Qing Jing Idle Man could reply, the queen bug that finished its last mouthful of black mist suddenly said: "This child has good experience! This old one is indeed at the peak of the Late Profound Stage, I just have to wait for a good opportunity to come, then I can truly enter the ranks of the Earth Stage.


    However, you two little fellows from Yellow Stage, don''t even think of escaping from this old one''s hands! "


    Lu Feng was shocked. Her sound transmission was actually being heard by the Demonic Beast.


    "Lu Feng, don''t listen to that old granny''s nonsense!


    The reason it was able to hear the sound transmission you sent me was definitely because of their innate skills. This is because I told you before, when the two pieces of armor on their back reach a certain realm, not only would they be able to avoid being probed by the Spiritual Sense, they would also be able to follow the fluctuations of the Spiritual Sense and detect the content of the Spiritual Sense''s sound transmission.


    Old demoness, I advise you to obediently let us go. Otherwise, there are some people that you cannot afford to offend. "


    Seeing the surprise on Lu Feng''s face, Qing Jing Idle Man immediately explained to Lu Feng and then spoke to the queen bug below, his words threatening.


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle completely ignored the Qing Jing Idle Man''s threat and started to laugh maniacally instead, "Hahaha, Purple Sun Old Bastard, you trapped this old one here and gave you the protection of the underground palace. For over a thousand years, you have lived this life for over a thousand years now.


    Don''t you think, this old body still has a day to escape!


    "Hahaha!"


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle roared for a while.


    However, from its shouts, Lu Feng obtained two pieces of information. There was indeed an underground palace here, and it should have been established by the Spiritual Master Ziyang the mother insect had mentioned.


    Lu Feng''s mind raced as she continued to think of a good way to escape.


    "Hahaha, old fart Ziyang, you haven''t thought of this, have you?


    As the queen bug of the Sickle Armoured Beetle, although I am trapped by your Demon Sealing Formation, you are unable to stop me from reproducing.


    After a thousand years of preparation, this old one has finally gathered enough energy to break open your Demon Sealing Stone in one go and see the light of day again.


    Old fart, these two people who helped this old one escape should have followed the map you left behind in the human world, right?


    Hahaha!


    Old fart, you don''t think that they would actually become this old one''s assistants! "


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle continued to clamor as it vented the frustration of being trapped for a thousand years.

 C118

    From the intermittent words the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle spoke, Lu Feng understood that the underground palace really did belong to Spiritual Master Ziyang.


    A thousand years ago, Adept Ziyang sensed that his end was near, and so he decided to leave this underground palace to fate.


    In order to not let his dao be completely lost, Spiritual Master Ziyang had especially left behind a map, which was the map he had given to Lu Feng.


    In order to protect the secrets of the underground palace as well as to test the heart of the person who obtained the map, Spiritual Master Ziyang specially set up a few barriers in the valley, each of which had a different arrangement.


    And Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, they were precisely caught by Spiritual Master Ziyang at that time, as the first guardian Demonic Beast.


    However, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was wild and untamed, and could not bear to stay here and protect. Thus, Spiritual Master Ziyang could not do anything, so he set up a Demon Sealing Array, trapping it inside, and then used the True Yuan s in its body to maintain the fog outside. At the same time, he also stimulated the talent of the Sickle Armoured Beetle race to avoid being scouted by the Spiritual Sense s.


    As for the Sickle Armoured Beetle, it had been trapped underground for a thousand years. It had used its own ability to secretly reproduce countless of its descendants and placed them all in the valley to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was prepared to help the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle escape at that time.


    A few days ago, when Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man entered the dense fog, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had already discovered their existence.


    When Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man broke through the barrier of the Misty Illusion Formation and appeared in the valley, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle used its own Spiritual Sense and controlled a few vines to attack Lu Feng and Yue Yang, and successfully lured them to its side.


    The giant boulder that Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man were standing on was actually the eye of the Demon Sealing Array.


    To lure Lu Feng and the others here, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had planned to use their martial skills to kill off all of its descendents. This way, it could use the True Yuan s inside the corpses of the dead Sickle Armoured Beetle to gather together and attack the Demon Sealing Array.


    As for the ignorant Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man, after being attacked by the Sickle Armoured Beetle, they started a massacre and fell into the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s trap.


    When Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man finished off all the Sickle Armoured Beetle, not only did the gathered True Yuan help it break through the Demon Sealing Array, it also allowed its strength to increase by a level. It had reached the peak of its current Late Profound Stage, which was equivalent to stepping into the ranks of Earth Stage.


    After figuring out the cause and effect, Lu Feng''s heart sank even more. This Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was indeed ruthless, not only did it plan for a thousand years, it even sacrificed all of the children and descendants that she had personally created in exchange for its own chance of seeing the light of day.


    "Senior, wait for me to stall the old Demonic Beast for a while. You should take the chance to escape as far as possible. It''s best if you leave the valley immediately!"


    Lu Feng rode his Crimson Nimbus Sword, came to Qing Jing Idle Man''s side and said softly.


    The Qing Jing Idle Man didn''t care about Lu Feng at all. Instead, he snorted coldly and said unhappily: "If you want to escape, escape by yourself. I don''t have the habit of escaping without fighting!"


    Lu Feng was panicking in her heart, how could this young miss act like a little miss?


    "Xu Yeyue, you can''t be thinking of dying here with me, right?"


    Lu Feng didn''t care anymore and directly revealed the true identity of the Qing Jing Idle Man.


    "How did you know it was me?"


    Qing Jing Idle Man, or in other words, Xu Yeyue, asked in surprise.


    With that, Xu Yeyue took off the cape on her head, revealing her coquettish face and her pair of deep eyes that Lu Feng had never forgotten about. It was just that Xu Yeyue still dressed like a man, with her hair tied into a warrior''s bun.


    "Miss Xu, is there even a need to guess?


    When you first met her, you said, "You''re a man, what are you afraid of?"


    At that time, I was certain that you were a woman.


    The only woman who had a conflict after I arrived at the Heavenly Star City was also only you, Miss Xu, although I don''t know why we started a conflict.


    Thus, I had my suspicions at that time.


    Later on, from your occasional disguise, I also roughly confirmed your identity.


    Furthermore, you forgot to use a fake voice to say something just now.


    If I can''t figure out your identity, then I, Lu Feng, am no longer an idiot.


    However, what I find strange is that between the two of us, what kind of deep hatred exists for you to set up such a huge trap to trap me within?


    The strangest thing is, if I''m already in, why did you still come? "


    Since she had already revealed Xu Yeyue''s identity, Lu Feng took the opportunity to speak.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Xu Yeyue seemed to recall the scene in the library once again. Her cheeks were dyed with blood, and she said a little unnaturally: "You also said, if the book in your arms didn''t crash into me, I wouldn''t have looked for an opportunity to take revenge on you."


    Although Xu Yeyue''s voice was soft, Lu Feng was still able to clearly hear it. It turned out that the large historical books that she was carrying at that time had touched upon the forbidden zone of the Miss Xu, which was why she was remembered.


    After figuring out the whole story, Lu Feng could not help but feel wronged.


    "Then why did you come?"


    Lu Feng asked somewhat curiously.


    Under Lu Feng''s attentive gaze, Xu Yeyue muttered to herself somewhat guiltily: "Isn''t it all because of that book!


    If I had known that a fool like you would have discovered the secret of that book so soon, I wouldn''t have given it to you. "


    Lu Feng asked: "What''s with that booklet?"


    Xu Yeyue said: "I stole that booklet from my father''s study.


    The map inside, I knew it was there.


    Also, I''ve been here once with my father, and the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation outside is the method my father taught me to enter and exit.


    However, my father and I were unable to discover the secret of the mist that time, so we were unable to reach the bottom before returning empty-handed.


    This time, in order to take revenge on you, I intentionally stole that booklet. I begged the Great Elder of the inner court, Grandpa Bai, to let that Wang Zhilin pretend to be careless and give it to you.


    Originally, I had thought that if you found out about the secret of that small booklet, I would ambush you halfway into Green Cloud Mountain Range and give you a good lesson.


    Who knew that you, a fool, would enter the Green Cloud Mountain Range the next day. By the time I received the news, several days had already passed.


    I only wanted to teach you a lesson, not kill you. Thus, I hurriedly rushed over.


    Who would have thought that I was still a step too late? You idiot, you''ve already entered the Eight Trigrams Grand Formation of the Nine Palaces.


    There was no other way. I wanted to explore the secret of this ravine with you.


    In the end, that''s all. "


    Hearing Xu Yeyue''s words, Lu Feng was also a bit speechless. It was originally just a misunderstanding, yet it ended up like this.

 C119

    "Miss Xu, I apologize for the misunderstanding. You should know that I did not mean it!"


    Lu Feng said to Xu Yeyue with sincerity.


    However, Xu Yeyue didn''t seem to appreciate it. She looked at Lu Feng cutely, and coldly snorted: "Brother Lu, don''t think that I will forgive you just because you made an apology.


    I''m telling you, this is just revenge for the rudeness you showed me last time!


    As for the evil deeds that you just did to me, I have yet to settle it with you! "


    Lu Feng was startled, what did she do to her just now?


    "Miss Xu, where did this come from?"


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Xu Yeyue raised her eyebrows and said: "What, I was hugging and hugging earlier, does Young Master Lu want to not admit it now?"


    It was true that he had hugged her back then, but that had been in order to avoid the Demon Sealing Stone''s attack. Now that he thought about it, it could be considered as saving Xu Yeyue''s life, but now, it had actually become evidence that he had offended her.


    "Miss Xu, this matter can''t be settled like this, right?"


    Once she said that, Lu Feng could feel her own powerlessness. Talking with a woman, wasn''t this wasting my effort?


    Sure enough, Xu Yeyue immediately shouted: "I don''t care, anyway, since this matter was done by you, Young Master Lu, you must take responsibility for your actions!"


    "Tsk tsk tsk, the two little kids are chatting quite happily!"


    Just as Lu Feng was at a loss for words, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s aged voice suddenly sounded beside their ears.


    Shortly after, that huge bug suddenly appeared in the air and faced the two of them.


    "Kid, your surname is Lu right?


    I said that you were also a piece of wood, but you didn''t realize that this little girl had taken an interest in you and wanted to take responsibility for your actions?


    I should have advised you to take responsibility for the girl and marry her home.


    It''s a pity that I''m missing two puppets, but your potential is quite good.


    Therefore, none of you can leave, stay by this old one''s side and be a pair of lovebirds! "


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle said to Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue with interest.


    "Old witch, do you think you alone can turn us into puppets?" Aren''t you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue! "


    Upon hearing the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s words, Xu Yeyue was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and started cursing shrilly.


    "Little girl, you are not obedient like this!


    Do you really think that you would be able to escape in front of this old one''s absolute strength?


    Therefore, this old one only needs to capture you two, and I can naturally slowly teach you a lesson.


    When that time comes, wouldn''t rubbing a round and flat matter be the final decision of this old man?


    What can you do to me? "


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle said as if it was natural.


    "Miss Xu, stop wasting your breath on it. This kind of Demonic Beast cannot be dismissed with just a few words."


    Seeing that Xu Yeyue still wanted to argue with the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, Lu Feng quickly reached out to stop her.


    In the current situation, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue wanted to leave, but the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle wanted to keep the two of them and refine them into their own puppets.


    In other words, no matter what was said, the two sides couldn''t avoid a battle in the end.


    When the time came, it would be like a battle. The victor would take everything, and the loser would lose everything, including his own freedom and even his life.


    "Tsk tsk!"


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle gave a weird laugh, and said: "Little girl, you should still accept your fate if I ask you!"


    Without any warning, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle suddenly took action, a large net of True Yuan suddenly appeared above Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue''s heads, enveloping them.


    The two who had been on full alert did not panic in the face of such a surprise attack. Instead, they moved to the left and right, quickly separating to the sides and creating an empty net.


    At the same time, Lu Feng took out the Flying Sword that replaced the Crimson Nimbus Sword that was at her feet, and the Crimson Nimbus Sword brought a red light that suddenly flew towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    With a "Ding" sound, although the Crimson Nimbus Sword successfully pierced the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s hard armor, Lu Feng was disappointed to find that not even a white dot had left anything on it.


    In other words, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s defense was already comparable to a Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact.


    "Great Heaven Shrouding Palm!"


    Lu Feng roared out, a sky-covering palm quickly condensed into a seal, bringing along the sound of wind and thunder, it smashed towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    At the same time, Xu Yeyue was not idle either. The light green scimitar that she had used previously was being wielded by Xu Yeyue in the air, surrounding the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle and chopping it down chaotically.


    "An insignificant skill!"


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle gave a cold snort and the large net of True Yuan appeared once again, wrapping Lu Feng''s big hand within it.


    Furthermore, as the huge net continued to shrink, Lu Feng''s large handprint was actually constantly collapsing and shrinking.


    During this period, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle completely ignored Lu Feng''s Crimson Nimbus Sword s and Xu Yeyue''s curved blade.


    At this time, Xu Yeyue rode her Flying Sword and had already arrived beside Lu Feng. With a heavy tone, she said to Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, this old demoness isn''t afraid of our swords at all. Do you still have a weapon of a higher level?"


    Lu Feng spread out her hands and said: "You saw it too, how could I have any other weapons or treasures?


    Furthermore, my Crimson Nimbus Sword is a Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact, and I can''t do anything about it.


    Xu Yeyue stomped her foot in anger and said: "Then what do we do?


    My jade blade is the same grade as your Crimson Nimbus Sword, they are all Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact, looks like I can''t do anything about it!


    "No, I have to try again!"


    Xu Yeyue suddenly rode her Flying Sword and rushed to its side, at the same time recalling her jade blade.


    Xu Yeyue held onto the blade with one hand, while quickly rushing forward, she continuously gathered the True Yuan in her body.


    "Broken Saber Universe!" Just as she was about to reach the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s side, Xu Yeyue raised the jade blade in her hand high up, shouted, and slashed downwards.


    Under the control of Xu Yeyue and the True Yuan, the Jade Blade shone with a bright green light as it flew towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle to attack it.


    Facing this attack, which seemed to have the ability to topple mountains and overturn seas, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was shocked. It immediately gathered its two wings together and blocked Xu Yeyue''s attack at the critical moment.


    Since the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was in the air and had now folded its wings, it had lost the possibility of staying in the air. Receiving Xu Yeyue''s slash, it shot down like a cannonball.


    With a "hong" sound, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s body heavily smashed into the ground, producing a sound that shook the heavens.


    Then, looking at Xu Yeyue, who released such a powerful move, she obviously had a sense of fatigue, her body swayed a few times on the Flying Sword before she managed to stabilize herself with great difficulty.

 C120

    Seeing that, Lu Feng immediately flew to Xu Yeyue''s side, bringing her to her back, and said: "Miss Xu, you should rest on my Flying Sword for a while to recover, as soon as possible."


    Xu Yeyue did not reject Lu Feng''s good intentions this time. She knew, with her current strength, that blade technique could only be used once.


    "Lu Feng, you must be careful!"


    Taking out a Pills s to replenish her True Yuan, Xu Yeyue said to Lu Feng before eating it. Then she closed her eyes and started to recuperate behind Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng recalled his Crimson Nimbus Sword and carefully steered the Flying Sword by her feet. She lowered herself a little, wanting to see the condition of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    "Little girl, what a ruthless method!"


    Suddenly, the old Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s voice came out, and a huge black shadow ran out from the pit in the ground, crouching on the ground, staring at Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue who were in the air.


    Lu Feng was shocked, he quite understood the power of Xu Yeyue''s blade just now. Even so, it was still unable to injure the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle severely.


    However, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle seemed to have discovered its weakness of not being able to fly for a long time. It did not fly up again this time, but instead landed on the ground and started to attack Lu Feng from all directions.


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle opened its mouth wide, like a machine gun, it spat out countless pitch black balls with a poof and smashed towards Lu Feng who was in the air.


    Sensing the destructive aura coming out from the ball, Lu Feng was shocked, this was simply moving the cannon.


    Lu Feng could only control the Flying Sword with all her might and continuously dodge the black balls in the air to avoid getting smashed.


    However, when those balls approached Lu Feng, they actually began to explode violently. Although the range of the explosion from a single ball was not very far, there were too many balls.


    In a short while, Lu Feng was constantly flying in the air, and behind him were the small balls that were constantly exploding, looking very miserable.


    Furthermore, after those balls exploded, the black smoke that dispersed out did not dissipate. Instead, it continuously gathered in the air, as if it was compressing Lu Feng''s space to move around.


    Towards the black smoke, Lu Feng instinctively felt a sense of disgust. Moreover, there seemed to be a strong corrosive force inside the black smoke.


    Although Lu Feng had the ability to refine his body, and had a strong physical body like the Celestial Tyrant Body, which could possibly block the corrosive effects of the smoke, the Xu Yeyue behind him would definitely not be able to block it, let alone the current Xu Yeyue who was weak.


    After escaping in the air for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Lu Feng realised that this was definitely not going to work. Those balls seemed to be endless, sooner or later, all of his space would be sealed and he would have nowhere to run to.


    F * ck! Let''s go all out!


    It was rare for Lu Feng to utter such vulgarities!


    Taking out the twelve small flags, Lu Feng shook her wrist, and quickly placed the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation s around the body.


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had seen these twelve Formation Flag before and knew that the defensive power of this formation was very good.


    Now that Lu Feng had started to set up the array again, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle laughed in disdain: "Child, are you crazy? Are you using a defensive array to deal with this old one?


    Moreover, you actually didn''t place a formation around yourselves, but instead placed a formation around me.


    What, you want to use this formation to trap this old one? "


    Lu Feng did not reply. Instead, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was saying, not shooting the balls anymore, she quickly formed a hand sign and started to run.


    "Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, rise!"


    After Lu Feng unleashed her last technique, the twelve Formation Flag s suddenly enlarged. Around the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s body, was cultivated into a sealed space, and within it was an endless primal energy.


    "Child, what formation is this?" Why does it feel completely different from before? "


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle asked in surprise.


    Lu Feng did not answer, but started to practice the technique again.


    "The Devilish God has appeared! Kill! "


    Following Lu Feng''s explosive shout, a ten foot tall Devilish God Phantom Shadow suddenly appeared in the array, with its huge fists, it attacked towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle in the array.


    "This is bad!"


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle cried out in alarm, and began to recycle the black mist it emitted before.


    Seeing the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s actions, Lu Feng''s mind moved. She secretly made a hand seal and allowed the black mist to flow back into the large array.


    At the same time, under Lu Feng''s instructions, the Devilish God started to absorb the mist incessantly.


    As the mist continued to return, very soon, the area covered by the formation became covered by a black mist. It was impossible to see the situation within the formation with the naked eye.


    But in Lu Feng''s perception, a Demonic Beast, a Devilish God within the array, was not fighting, but was desperately absorbing the mist.


    As the amount of mist absorbed increased, the originally dim color of the Devilish God deepened, and its figure became more and more corporeal.


    "That was close!" This Devilish God can indeed swallow this black mist and increase its strength! "


    Stopping the Flying Sword, Lu Feng thought as she looked down at the great formation in the air, with a lingering fear in her heart.


    Just now, when she was being chased by the ball, Lu Feng had thought that the ball spat out by the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle very likely used its own True Yuan s to condense into a ball and shoot it out at a high speed.


    Since that was the case, then could his Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation use this kind of obviously cold attribute to advance his cultivation?


    Furthermore, the most important part of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation was its offense, not the defense it created for Xu Yeyue just like before. It was the most famous killing formation in the entire Great Desolate World!


    Therefore, Lu Feng decided to take the risk and see if she could rely on the power of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation to destroy the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    Even if he could not, he would at most lose a set of Formation Flag that he had recently cultivated.


    Once Lu Feng''s guesses became true, then she would have struck gold.


    Not only would they be able to kill their biggest enemy, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s twelve Formation Flag, would also benefit greatly during the battle. They might even be able to condense a second Devilish God soon.


    As a result, Lu Feng did not hesitate to set up a great array.


    Because the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had seen Lu Feng use this array completely upside down, due to a series of circumstances, it did not stop Lu Feng from setting up the array, but rather watched him play with a mocking expression, which resulted in the current situation.


    If the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had obstructed Lu Feng in her attempt to set up the array, it would have been extremely difficult for him.

 C121

    Under the joint devouring of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle and the Devilish God, the black mist within the formation quickly disappeared.


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle realized, to its horror, that it had not consumed as much as the Devilish God.


    It had to be known that these True Yuan s were all launched by it, they belonged to it in the first place.


    In fact, spitting this black ball could also be considered a Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s innate skill. It could use the unique structure of the body, to condense its own True Yuan, and with its own corrosive properties, shoot it out to kill its target.


    In addition, even if the attack fails, the ball can explode, form a black mist, and wrap around the opponent to kill them.


    As the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s strength continued to increase, its skill became more and more fluid. In the end, it became something like a moving cannon.


    What was even more cruel was that the black mist formed by the True Yuan after it was shot out, after defeating the enemy, could still be absorbed by the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, and did not cause any loss to the True Yuan in its body.


    Just now, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was also enraged by Xu Yeyue''s earth-shattering blade. Although that blade did not cause it any substantial injury, just that face alone was enough to make it feel somewhat angry.


    As a result, in order to preserve the dignity of the Demonic Beast, it regained its senses and started to go berserk towards Lu Feng and Yue Yang who were in the air.


    Now it was great, more than half of the True Yuan balls that he had shot out had been devoured by the Devilish God in front of him. This made the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle feel like it was on fire.


    After the fog in the array completely disappeared, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle brandished a pair of sickle-like legs, and quickly rushed to the front of the Devilish God, attacking it with a speed as fast as a blade.


    After obtaining the mist from the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, the figure of the Devilish God had already become much more corporeal, and was no longer as illusory as before.


    Seeing that the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was attacking, the Devilish God did not show any signs of weakness and welcomed it head on.


    However, good times do not last long. In just a few breaths of time, the Devilish God s'' heads were chopped off with a sickle, and their bodies were chopped into several pieces, dissipating within the formation.


    "Hahaha!"


    With this kind of strength, you still dare to fight against me? "


    After killing the Devilish God, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle began to laugh maniacally.


    Lu Feng, however, continued to practice her technique with an expressionless face.


    In a moment, a black mist rose from the array, and the huge figure of the Devilish God appeared once again in the array, throwing out a punch at the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    But Lu Feng''s hand still did not stop chanting and continued releasing one incantation after another.


    A moment later, a tremendous change happened within the formation.


    From the outside, the Demonic Beast in the array was like a street hoodlum, punching and kicking each other, but in the eyes of the Sickle Armoured Beetle in the array, the black mist that appeared together with the Devilish God did not decrease at all. Instead, it quickly spread to every corner of the array, causing the Devilish God to disappear from its senses.


    As for the black mist, it was different from the True Yuan balls it had previously sent out.


    However, what made the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle happy was that the Devilish God seemed to be stubborn. It didn''t have any other methods except charging in front of it and attacking crazily with punches and kicks.


    Towards the fists and feet of the Devilish God, the famous high defense Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, although it could take it head on, it still angrily brandished its two scythes and hacked the Devilish God into pieces once again.


    But, something that shocked the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle happened. In just a few breaths of time, the Devilish God condensed itself again, and rushed forward fearlessly, striking out with its fist, clashing head on with its body.


    "What the hell is this?"


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was panicking slightly. It could clearly feel that the strength of the Devilish God that had been reformed twice was slightly stronger than before.


    It meant that the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle knew very well that an opponent that could not be killed, whose strength was still constantly increasing, would only have one result at the end of the fight. It was a Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, a dignified Peak of Profound Stage Demonic Beast, an existence that could immediately enter the Earth Stage, a person who would be dragged down in the end.


    "Human brat, I know you are watching us from the outside, how about we discuss it?"


    Taking advantage of the opportunity to hack the Devilish God into pieces, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle shouted loudly.


    Although Lu Feng heard it, she did not say anything.


    Regarding the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s strength, Lu Feng still had a lingering fear in her heart. If she had listened to its enticement and released it from the formation, then only death awaited him and Xu Yeyue.


    Seeing that Lu Feng did not answer, the Devilish God congealed once again, and ruthlessly attacked.


    "Kid, you forced me to do this!"


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle roared, and ignored the punches and kicks from the Devilish God, instead, it quickly mobilized the True Yuan in its body.


    "Human brat, this old one will give you one last chance.


    If you take down the formation right now, this old one will let you two go, otherwise, once this old one breaks out of the formation, the two of you will die without a burial! "


    Lu Feng did not care about the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s coercion and enticement. He was not a fool to believe in a Demonic Beast with no reputation at all!


    Seeing that Lu Feng still did not answer, the Sickle Armoured Beetle completely went berserk.


    "Great True Yuan Slash!"


    "Chaotic dance of demon essence!"


    "True Yuan ball!"


    The Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle released a few big moves consecutively, launching them towards the surrounding Formation Flag. In the end, it even used the same method to once again release a large number of True Yuan balls, and bombarded the surrounding area.


    As for the Devilish God that was standing in front of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, it had once again been blown into nothingness.


    Under the Sickle Armoured Beetle''s storm-like attacks, the twelve Formation Flag were faintly discernable, like a small boat in a storm. However, in the end, they were still able to maintain their formation and were not blasted away.


    After blocking the attacks of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, Lu Feng could clearly feel that all the Formation Flag were hungry and thirsty to absorb the energy released by the array, especially the tyrannical Qi on the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s body, which was quickly being absorbed by the Formation Flag.


    A moment later, the Devilish God formed again, his appearance had changed greatly, not only was his body more solid, his hand was even holding onto a pitch black halberd.


    It looked like the Devilish God had absorbed a lot of energy and ruthless energy after receiving so many blows. It had evolved once again, to the point where it had even condensed a weapon.


    With large steps, he arrived in front of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle. The Devilish God waved its halberd with both of its hands and started to attack the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle crazily.

 C122

    Although the Devilish God had evolved and produced a weapon, the truth was, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s strength was too high and their defense was also very abnormal. Furthermore, the Devilish God''s means were limited, so it was not possible to see any hope of winning in a short period of time.


    As for the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, it was still in a berserk state. Although it did not care much about the fleas beside it, the various big tricks it used could still easily kill the Devilish God.


    When Lu Feng saw that the formation had entered a stalked state, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle could not break through the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, and the Devilish God formed by the formation could not harm the queen bug, so the two sides could only continue to exhaust themselves.


    Not long after, Xu Yeyue woke up from her meditation. After a period of recuperation, most of her True Yuan had recovered.


    Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Yeyue said to Lu Feng in shock, "Lu Feng, how did you do that?


    Also, why do I feel like the formation you set up is so familiar? "


    Lu Feng laughed and said: "Of course you''re familiar with it. We didn''t stay in that array for four days and four nights!"


    Xu Yeyue was shocked, "Lu Feng, isn''t that a defensive array? How could it be used as a trap array?


    "Also, the black humanoid being with the halberd in his hand, what in the world is that thing?"


    Although Lu Feng had almost solved the misunderstanding with her, Lu Feng still did not want to reveal too many secrets in front of her.


    As for that Devilish God, it''s an attack method of the formation, I''m not too sure about the specifics. "


    With Xu Yeyue''s intelligence, how could she not hear the intricacies of Lu Feng''s words?


    She pouted and glanced at Lu Feng, who said: "You''re making it up, continue making it up!


    Do you think I can''t tell that you forged that formation yourself?


    Lu Feng brat, let me tell you, my father is a famous formation master who is proficient in equipment forging. As his only daughter, don''t you think that I also know a little something in that aspect?


    Humph!


    Last time, you told me that your dark yellow copper bell is a part of the formation, so why aren''t you using it this time?


    Did he think that I did not know that it was a broken magic treasure?


    I think you were using the corpses of those Sickle Armoured Beetle to repair your treasure right? "


    After talking about it for a long time, Xu Yeyue finally stopped and looked at Lu Feng provokingly.


    Lu Feng did not expect this Miss Xu to have a family background, to be able to see through the loopholes in her words with a glance, and even pointed it out right in front of him.


    With that, Lu Feng became embarrassed, and her face became slightly red.


    Seeing Lu Feng''s embarrassed look, Xu Yeyue smiled as she stretched out a finger that was like spring onion. She lifted Lu Feng''s chin and said while chuckling: "What, you still know how to be embarrassed? Let''s see if you still dare to lie to me in the future! "


    Lu Feng dodged backwards for a while and did not say a word.


    However, the atmosphere between the two of them, caused this commotion among Xu Yeyue, was no longer as awkward as before.


    "Miss Xu."


    The moment Lu Feng opened her mouth, she was immediately interrupted.


    "Hey Lu Feng brat, do you think we can still play?


    I''m going to call you Lu Feng, but you, you keep on calling me Miss Xu, afraid that others won''t know that I''m a girl? "


    Xu Yeyue said to Lu Feng in a slightly angry manner.


    Lu Feng was startled, she thought to herself, from your actions, other than wearing men''s clothes, how could you tell that you were a man? As long as that person isn''t blind, she definitely knows that you are a woman.


    "What are you standing there for?


    Remember, call me Yeyue from now on, or maybe, if you want to be more intimate with me, call me Yue''er, I won''t oppose it either! "


    Xu Yeyue said loudly, but there was a hint of bashfulness on her face, it was just that Lu Feng did not notice it.


    "Miss Xu, I''m afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right?"


    Hearing that Xu Yeyue had even said that, Lu Feng immediately said.


    Xu Yeyue''s expression changed again as she pointed at Lu Feng and said: "Lu Feng, do you think I''m a frivolous person?


    Go to the Heavenly Star Academy or the Heavenly Star City and inquire about it. See what my, Xu Yeyue''s, reputation is like.


    Didn''t I already apologize for luring you here? What else do you want? "


    At the end, Xu Yeyue''s voice actually carried a hint of a crying tone.


    Lu Feng was shocked, what kind of situation was this, in a short period of time, this Xu Yeyue actually changed his personality several times, which was the real her?


    "Void, no, um, Yeyue, that''s not what I meant.


    "I just think, didn''t our relationship change a little too quickly?"


    For the first time, Lu Feng realized that she was actually a clumsy mouthed person. In the face of Xu Yeyue''s tears, she actually didn''t know what to say.


    "Go, who has anything to do with you?"


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Xu Yeyue immediately snorted, and turned red.


    Lu Feng had a feeling that her brain was suffering from hypoxia. This Xu Yeyue was simply a temperamental Hundred Transformations Demon Girl, no one knew what she was thinking.


    Seeing Lu Feng''s blank look, Xu Yeyue did not tease him anymore. Instead, she pointed to the array and asked: "Lu Feng, what is the name of this array?


    How could I have felt that there was a boundless and tyrannical aura within the formation?


    Furthermore, I have a feeling that if your twelve Formation Flag were to fully mature, your formation would be rather powerful! "


    Lu Feng thought, this was the number one killing array in all of history, how could it not be powerful?


    However, Lu Feng did not dare say these words directly. Instead, she thought for a moment and said to Xu Yeyue: "Yeyue, the name of this formation is Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation."


    "Twelve Tiger Divinities?


    Lu Feng, are you talking about the Primordial Witch Race? "


    When she just heard the name, Xu Yeyue asked in shock.


    Lu Feng was shocked. Was there a legend of Witch Race here?


    "Yeyue, what Witch Race are you talking about?"


    Lu Feng restrained the anxiousness in her heart and asked calmly.


    However, Xu Yeyue said: "I heard my father say that before this, he had read about it in an ancient book. On it was written a clan called Witch Race, which was said to be the masters of the great earth at that time.


    That Witch Race has 12 Ancestral Mages, they are proficient in one type of formation, and seem to be called Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation s.


    When you mentioned this name earlier, I suddenly remembered. "


    "So that''s how it is!"


    Lu Feng pretended to be deep in thought, nodded, and said: "I accidentally came across this set of methods to refine Formation Flag.


    However, there was no introduction on the origins of this formation.


    So, I don''t know if it''s the same thing I''m telling you. "


    Following that, the two of them discussed a few other matters. The atmosphere was different from what it was before. Instead, there was a sense of harmony. Unknowingly, the two of them were getting closer and closer to each other.


    As time passed, the two people outside the formation were in a heated discussion. However, within the formation, a change occurred once again.

 C123

    It turned out that under the continuous berserk of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, the twelve Formation Flag had never stopped absorbing the ruthless aura and the abundant True Yuan within the formation. Until now, there was finally a new change.


    In the middle of the air, a second Formation Flag appeared. The flag surface grew dramatically stronger, churning out a large amount of mist formed by the black balls of True Yuan and the tyrannical aura emitted by the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, continuously pouring into the flag surface.


    Following the influx of the mist, the image of a Devilish God gradually appeared on top of the flag surface and continued to solidify.


    In the end, when the image of the Devilish God was clearly visible, the Devilish God suddenly jumped out of the flag surface.


    The second Formation Flag had leveled up!


    With that, the two demons were like a lantern that was being driven away, they were constantly being torn to shreds by the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle and reappearing once again, surrounding the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle and starting to fight.


    "Lu Feng, why did another devil appear?


    Also, what happened to the Formation Flag that suddenly appeared just now? "


    Xu Yeyue and Lu Feng stood shoulder to shoulder in the air, and asked curiously.


    Lu Feng turned her head to look at Xu Yeyue, and realised that there was something wrong with the two of them.


    It turned out that just now, in order to allow Xu Yeyue to recover her profound strength, Lu Feng had changed the Flying Sword beneath her feet into a Crimson Nimbus Sword and placed it in its largest form. It was two feet wide and nearly three feet long.


    After Xu Yeyue had meditated and meditated for a while, the True Yuan in her body had more or less recovered. However, she did not leave Lu Feng''s Flying Sword.


    After making such a ruckus just now, Xu Yeyue and Lu Feng stood shoulder to shoulder, paying close attention to the battle below.


    Lu Feng turned her head and realized that there was only a distance of one punch between the shoulders of the two of them, and they could clash at any time.


    And Xu Yeyue''s figure, was very tall and slender. Standing together with Lu Feng, they were like a golden couple, if not for the huge black robe on her body.


    Lu Feng turned her head over, and Xu Yeyue also looked at him from the side. Their four eyes met, and Lu Feng felt like she was about to sink into that deep pool of water.


    Seeing Lu Feng not saying a word and only staring at him, Xu Yeyue became impatient. She did not know how alluring her pair of beautiful eyes were.


    "Hey, Lu Feng, wake up!"


    Stretching out a small hand, Xu Yeyue waved it in front of Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng suddenly woke up, what''s wrong with him, how could she be continuously attracted by Xu Yeyue''s eyes?


    "Yeyue, what did you say?"


    After a long while, Lu Feng finally recovered her clarity of mind and asked Xu Yeyue.


    Xu Yeyue rolled her eyes at Lu Feng, and said: "I want to ask you, what happened to that Formation Flag? And why is there another Devilish God?


    Did the entire formation advance? "


    Lu Feng smiled and said: "Yeyue, you''re thinking too much.


    How could it be so easy to advance a complete formation?


    Just now was only the second Formation Flag''s advancement.


    Only after the twelve Formation Flag have all condensed into Devilish God and then the twelve gathered into one big new Devilish God will the formation be able to advance to the next stage. "


    Xu Yeyue thoughtfully nodded and no longer spoke.


    Lu Feng suddenly asked: "Yeyue, I have heard you mention your father several times, but I have yet to ask, who is this elder?"


    Hearing that, Xu Yeyue looked at Lu Feng with a bit of amusement, and said: "What, you want to ask about my father, is it because you have some bad intentions?"


    Lu Feng immediately said: "How could that be? "I''ve only heard you mention it a few times, saying that this old man is a formation master. That''s why I wanted to ask you for guidance."


    Listening to Lu Feng''s explanation, no one knew what kind of explanation Xu Yeyue had reached, but she still revealed a sweet smile on her face, and said: "Listen carefully, my father''s name is Xu Ruo Wu, he gave his nickname as Ghost King.


    "Well, did you think of something?"


    "Ghost King? You are the young miss of City Lord''s Mansion? "


    Lu Feng was surprised.


    According to Lu Feng''s understanding of the various large powers in the Heavenly Star City, other than the few great sects and families, there was still the largest power hiding in them, and that was the City Lord''s Mansion.


    It could be said that City Lord''s Mansion was the absolute ruler of Heavenly Star City.


    Xu Yeyue nodded his head, and said: "You''ve also heard of my father''s reputation?"


    Lu Feng rolled her eyes speechlessly, and said: "You''re not thinking that I don''t even know who''s the true boss here at Heavenly Star City, right?"


    However, Xu Yeyue pouted and said unhappily: "My father isn''t the boss. This Heavenly Star City is for the empire, my father is only in charge."


    "Oh right, Yeyue, I remember that your father''s true title should be the Mighty King. How did he obtain the title of Ghost King?"


    Lu Feng asked.


    Xu Yeyue said unhappily: "What else can it be because of? Wasn''t it because that old man was not only a grandmaster array master, but also a refining expert? She was also an astrologer, and was able to deduce auspicious fates. This was why she was given such an unpleasant nickname by those good people.


    Ghost King, you can''t even save your own wife! "


    At the end of his speech, Xu Yeyue''s voice dropped to a whisper.


    Hearing that, Lu Feng immediately shut up, and did not ask anymore, as there seemed to be some secrets of the City Lord''s Mansion involved, it was better to not continue asking about it.


    And after Xu Yeyue finished answering Lu Feng''s question, her mood suddenly dropped, and she stood there, not saying another word.


    The scene fell silent for a moment.


    Lu Feng also calmed herself down and looked towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle that was still in the midst of raging.


    Time passed minute by minute.


    Three days later.


    The current array was a completely different scene. There were a total of seven Devilish God s, wielding all sorts of weapons, constantly rushing towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle. After a few rounds, they were once again torn apart by the two huge scythes, and started to gather at the Formation Flag''s location.


    Although Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle s could constantly tear apart the bodies of Devilish God s, their auras were no longer as strong as before, and it looked like they were about to run out of energy.


    In such a long period of time, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue had long since climbed up from the Flying Sword s in the air to the ground.


    Xu Yeyue, the young miss, had even taken out a small tent from the Storage Bag s, and set it up not far away. She had also agreed to let the two of them monitor the situation in the array separately, while she found a place to rest herself.


    However, Xu Yeyue did not invite Lu Feng into her own tent, nor did Lu Feng have the cheek to make such a request.


    "Lu Feng, quickly come out and take a look. This Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle doesn''t seem to be in a good state!"


    Lu Feng was meditating and resting, when she suddenly heard Xu Yeyue shouting.

 C124

    Hearing Xu Yeyue''s shouts, Lu Feng immediately ended the circulation of the True Yuan in her body, waved her hand to remove the concealment array, and appeared in front of Xu Yeyue.


    "Yeyue, what''s wrong?"


    Lu Feng asked while looking at the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation.


    Seeing that, Xu Yeyue did not even need to say anything else as the scene before him had already told him the answer.


    In the array, the seven Devilish God s were surrounding the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle and hacking away at it randomly. The eighth Formation Flag was rolling up and down in the array, the shadow of the Devilish God above was becoming more and more solid, looking like it was about to condense into a real Devilish God.


    The previously ferocious Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, on the other hand, had now stopped its indiscriminate bombing. It stood there somewhat dispiritedly, and didn''t even bother to retaliate against the Devilish God''s attacks anymore.


    Seeing this, Lu Feng understood that the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle s were obviously weak. She believed that before long, the Devilish God s would be able to take care of this top grade Profound Stage Demonic Beast.


    "Yeyue, calm down, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle is almost at its limit. If this continues, maybe in a day, we will be able to grind it to death."


    Lu Feng explained to Xu Yeyue by the side and continued to closely watch the array''s changes.


    Very quickly, the eighth Devilish God officially took shape, holding a gigantic hammer, it rushed towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle and killed it.


    "Lu Feng, your array is truly mystical, such a powerful Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, was forcefully consumed to the point that its oil was burnt out!


    I really wonder what will happen after this formation advances? "


    Xu Yeyue said to Lu Feng as she sighed.


    At this time, Xu Yeyue had already found out her true identity, so she changed out of the huge black robe on her body and reverted back to her male attire.


    Just that, although Xu Yeyue was dressed in men''s attire, she did not have a bit of heroic spirit, and instead had a kind of gentleness and beauty.


    Hearing that, Lu Feng smiled faintly, but did not reply.


    He couldn''t possibly tell Xu Yeyue that when the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation had truly mastered itself, it would condense into a shadow of the Twelve Ancestral Mages, and show the true glory of being the number one killing array in the world.


    The eight Devilish God in the formation were attacking the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle with all their might, and were also constantly absorbing the ruthless aura and the origin energy that was being emitted from the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s body.


    "It should be about time!"


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    Before Xu Yeyue could figure out what was going on, Lu Feng had already summoned his Chaotic Clock. Raising her hand, she pointed forward and the Chaotic Clock turned into a ray of dark yellow light, flying into the formation and smashing towards the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s head.


    Perhaps it was because he felt the threat of death, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle that was just resisting the various attacks suddenly raised its head, and released a gigantic True Yuan Slash, flying towards the Chaotic Clock.


    "Freeze!"


    Lu Feng said as she pointed at the True Yuan.


    The Chaotic Clock in the formation suddenly let out a clear bell chime, and a ray of dark yellow light fell down, causing the True Yuan that was flying at high speeds to freeze in midair.


    Immediately after, the Chaotic Clock turned in another direction in the air, and the mouth of the bell released a strong suction force that sucked the True Yuan into the bell, and it disappeared.


    Immediately after, the Chaotic Clock continued its assault on the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s head without slowing down at all.


    After the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle forced herself to release that True Yuan Slash, she was truly at the end of her tether. Facing the pressure of the Chaotic Clock, she actually had a short period of absent-mindedness.


    It was that moment of absent-mindedness that led to the death of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    Boom!


    Bang! With a loud noise, the fist-sized Chaotic Clock suddenly smashed onto the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s head. Like a broken watermelon, it smashed its huge head into pieces.


    After smashing the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s head into pieces, the Chaotic Clock bounced back into the air. The bell quickly spun and a dark yellow light fell down, bringing with it a worm-like image, as it retreated back into the Chaotic Clock.


    After doing all this, the Chaotic Clock transformed into light and flew out, burrowing into Lu Feng''s forehead and disappearing.


    "Lu Feng, what treasure is that?"


    Seeing the Chaotic Clock, Xu Yeyue was curious like a baby. She grabbed Lu Feng''s sleeves and asked.


    "It''s only a copper bell. It''s no big deal."


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    Xu Yeyue pouted her lips and looked at Lu Feng with her white eyes, only to see the back of her head.


    She was so angry that Xu Yeyue bared her fangs and brandished her claws at Lu Feng''s back.


    Amongst the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, following the death of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, the eight Devilish God stopped their attacks and started to divide up the enormous insect corpse.


    As for the twelve Formation Flag, after the large formation stopped functioning, they also revealed themselves. The flag surface fluttered in the air and rolled towards the insect corpse, and began to absorb the True Yuan s and essences that had yet to dissipate.


    After about two incense sticks of time, the originally huge insect corpse had completely shriveled up, and the ninth Devilish God had also successfully formed.


    As for the twelve Formation Flag, after absorbing all of the energy, they carried their respective Devilish God back to the flagpole.


    Immediately after, the twelve Formation Flag quickly shrank, transforming into a black ray of light and flew into Lu Feng''s hands.


    Xu Yeyue stuck her head out from Lu Feng''s back and stared at the twelve small flags.


    Nine of the flag surface had a vivid and lifelike seal on them, and the top of the tenth was a ball of dense black fog. It was like a big ink stick, and there were only two Formation Flag left, but the flag surface was as clean and clean as ever.


    "Lu Feng, now that you have formed the nine headed Devilish God, does that mean that the formation is about to evolve?"


    Xu Yeyue asked curiously.


    "Mn, as long as all twelve Devilish God are gathered and refined once, they can truly advance to the next stage."


    Lu Feng kept the Formation Flag well, and said to Xu Yeyue in a good mood.


    "So what do we do now?


    Should we continue to move forward, or should we stop here and leave this deep valley? "


    Xu Yeyue also didn''t know what was wrong with him, to actually feel that she was following Lu Feng''s lead.


    "Yeyue, I think we should go through the whole forest first to see if there are any heavenly and earthly treasures.


    When we''re done, let''s move on. How about you? "


    Lu Feng did not want to leave the valley right now. That mysterious underground palace, she hadn''t even taken a glance at it.


    However, Lu Feng also had her own worries. If Xu Yeyue suggested that she should leave, Lu Feng would not say anything.


    "Alright, I''ll listen to you!"


    What made Lu Feng almost doubt her ears was, Xu Yeyue actually agreed to it without any hesitation.

 C125

    Since they had reached an agreement, Lu Feng didn''t hesitate anymore. Together with Xu Yeyue, they carefully searched through the forest where the Sickle Armoured Beetle were, but they didn''t find anything.


    When the two of them were on the road again, Xu Yeyue suddenly spoke without thinking: "Idiot, wherever the Sickle Armoured Beetle goes, there is not even a blade of grass. How can I leave treasures of heaven and earth for you to find?"


    Hearing that, Lu Feng was speechless, it made sense, since there were so many Sickle Armoured Beetle and their strengths weren''t that low, then naturally, she would need to use up a large amount of cultivation resources. It was already quite good to have that forest to stay in, and thinking about what she should discover there, it was truly a bit whimsical.


    However, even Lu Feng was a little unhappy with Xu Yeyue''s plan. Why didn''t you say so earlier, causing me to waste half a day''s worth of effort.


    At this time, Xu Yeyue, who was skipping and walking in front, seemed to have sensed something. She suddenly turned her head and saw the expression on Lu Feng''s face.


    Miss Xu was immediately enraged, "Lu Feng, what kind of expression is that? "Is this lady unhappy?"


    Seeing Xu Yeyue''s fierce expression, Lu Feng could only raise her hand and surrender, and said: "Yeyue, I don''t have any.


    However, can we discuss about it? In the future when we encounter situations like this, can your Miss Xu remind us first so that we don''t have to waste our time. "


    "Puchi!"


    Xu Yeyue suddenly laughed, her charming face blossoming like a flower right in front of Lu Feng.


    "Lu Feng, I like to see your stupid and stupid look. You are simply too cute!"


    Before she could attack Lu Feng enough, Xu Yeyue made a godly complement.


    Lu Feng was extremely annoyed, what kind of person was this? To make fun of others?


    Lu Feng''s face darkened, she moved around Xu Yeyue and walked forward.


    When Xu Yeyue saw that Lu Feng was truly angry, she secretly stuck out her cute little tongue and followed behind Lu Feng, step by step.


    "Hey, Lu Feng, did you lead me the wrong way?"


    Seeing Lu Feng not saying a word, Xu Yeyue rolled her eyes and suddenly asked loudly.


    Lu Feng stopped in her tracks and looked around him.


    The valley outside could be clearly seen. Just as Lu Feng was about to turn around and ask Xu Yeyue how she was mistaken, she realized that this girl had already taken the opportunity to take a step forward and walk shoulder to shoulder with him.


    Lu Feng frowned, and said unhappily: "Xu Yeyue, is there any point in playing like this?"


    Xu Yeyue showed no weakness as she said, "Who told you to keep ignoring me?


    There''s only the two of us here, if you ignore me, then won''t that mean I''ll suffocate to death here?


    Besides, walking like this all the time, the atmosphere was very depressing and scary.


    So, I''m a magnanimous person. I decided not to argue with a fool like you who has never seen the world and came to talk to you on my own accord.


    What is it? Can''t I find an excuse? "


    Lu Feng almost fainted because of it, this little girl''s words were spoken without restraint, what words had come into her mouth, they had already become her reason, how could anyone accept it?


    Speaking of which, although the two of them looked rather similar on the outside, their personalities were completely different.


    At a glance, Xu Yeyue seemed to have a lively and outgoing personality, but Lu Feng was somewhat dull and arrogant, giving people a feeling of taciturn.


    However, Lu Feng was a little puzzled. The last two times she saw Xu Yeyue, even though she was dressed in men''s clothes, but her bearing was definitely that of a lady from a noble family.


    This included when Xu Yeyue was disguised as the Qing Jing Idle Man, and she was arrogant to the point that it didn''t manifest any longer.


    Why did Xu Yeyue suddenly transform into a little demon after the two of them got familiar with each other and started to play tricks on each other?


    It was very strange, not at all like the little fairy from before.


    Shaking her head speechlessly, Lu Feng continued her journey.


    Xu Yeyue hurriedly caught up. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, a change suddenly occurred!


    "Ugh!"


    With a sonic boom, an object with immense power shot towards the two of them.


    "Be careful!"


    Lu Feng cried out in alarm, casually grabbed onto Xu Yeyue''s body, and leapt to the side. At the same time, she summoned her own Crimson Nimbus Sword and carried the two of them into the air.


    When she stopped in midair, Lu Feng looked down and saw a rotten tree trunk that was a foot thick, directly hitting the place where the two had landed, and deeply embedded into the ground.


    "Who is it?"


    Lu Feng bellowed, and looked towards the direction where the tree trunk came from.


    "Little brother, you''re so smart!"


    A rough voice sounded. A figure suddenly appeared thousands of feet in front of them. It was moving as fast as lightning.


    When the figure approached, it suddenly stopped and stood there leisurely.


    Only then did Lu Feng realize that it was not a human figure, but clearly an ape. It was just that with its two feet standing upright, it looked human from a distance.


    The ape stopped in the air in front of the two of them. It said with a bit of a smile, "Little brother, you two seem to love each other quite a bit!"


    Lu Feng was startled, and immediately remembered that when she was in a hurry, she had hugged Xu Yeyue''s waist again.


    Thinking of this, Lu Feng hurriedly looked into her arms.


    Xu Yeyue''s little face was flushed red, sticking to Lu Feng''s chest, her two hands grabbing onto Lu Feng''s clothes, blinking her large eyes, and continuously staring at Lu Feng''s face, as though she was enjoying the show.


    Seeing Lu Feng looking down at him, Xu Yeyue unwillingly pouted her lips. She stood up from Lu Feng''s embrace and released her hands. With a slight twist of her body, she had already crawled behind Lu Feng and stood on the same Crimson Nimbus Sword.


    "Iron Arms Senior, your sudden appearance is really scary!"


    Before Lu Feng could say anything, Xu Yeyue suddenly popped out her small face from Lu Feng''s shoulder, and said to the Devilish Ape in front of her.


    "Hahaha, little girl, you know me?"


    Devilish Ape laughed, and asked Xu Yeyue somewhat curiously.


    Xu Yeyue slightly curled her lips and said, "That''s not true.


    It''s just that I''ve heard someone say before that there''s a clan called the Devilish Ape deep within the Green Cloud Mountain Range. Among them, those with extraordinary talent would slowly evolve into Iron-armed Devilish Ape.


    From the looks of Senior''s current form, he should be a Iron-armed Devilish Ape. Furthermore, you''re going to take human form soon, right? "


    "Haha, little girl, you are quite knowledgeable, you have even heard of the great name of my Iron-armed Devilish Ape!


    My clan of Devilish Ape, only the clan leader who has mastered a secret technique is qualified to evolve into a Iron-armed Devilish Ape, and that is in my current form. "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape became even happier and said to Xu Yeyue with interest.


    "So you''re saying, Senior is the Patriarch of the Devilish Ape Clan?"


    Xu Yeyue asked curiously, looking like a baby.


    "Sigh, I am only the former Clan Chief. I wonder how my clan of Devilish Ape is doing now?"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape sighed, and said a little despondently.

 C126

    "Senior, then how did you end up here? Was it also forced by Adept Ziyang? " Xu Yeyue continued to ask with even greater curiosity.


    "Well, that''s a long story.


    My two little friends, you two are on good terms with me.


    How about this, let''s not stay in the air any longer, you guys come with me to my place of residence, let''s sit down, I''ll properly tell you these old events!


    What do you think, my friends? "


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape seemed to be very interested in talking to someone for a long time, hence he sent the invitation.


    However, Xu Yeyue didn''t immediately agree. Instead, she patted Lu Feng''s back and said with a sound transmission, "Lu Feng, what do you think?"


    Lu Feng''s heart stirred as she sent a sound transmission: "Why don''t you agree to it first, and then we''ll have a random response."


    What Xu Yeyue said just now, was that the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was already at the edge of manifesting. That meant that the Iron-armed Devilish Ape had already entered the Earth Stage, it was just that it was not for a long time, and had not completely stabilised his cultivation.


    Even so, the strength of a Earth Stage Demonic Beast was not something that he and Xu Yeyue could handle.


    Therefore, Lu Feng decided to follow the Iron-armed Devilish Ape and see what tricks it could come up with.


    Seeing the two of them discussing, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was not anxious and waited quietly.


    But Xu Yeyue, who received Lu Feng''s response, excitedly said to the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, "Iron Arms Senior, we won''t disturb the peace and quiet of your cave, will we?"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape smiled and said: "How can that be? I welcome you!


    Please come this way! "


    With that, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape turned around in the air and flew to the side of the valley.


    Lu Feng activated the Crimson Nimbus Sword beneath her feet and followed closely behind Iron-armed Devilish Ape. Together with Xu Yeyue who was behind him, they flew forward.


    In a moment, the two of them and the Demonic Beast arrived at the side of the valley.


    The scenery here was not bad. Among the tall trees, there were many fruit trees and many elixirs that grew within them.


    As for Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s cave dwelling, it was directly opened on the mountain wall. The mountain wall was as smooth as a mirror and a cave was smashed open by it with brute force, it was around five zhang deep. Presumably, this was where Iron-armed Devilish Ape would normally rest.


    To the left of the entrance of the cave, there was a crude pavilion with a huge boulder placed inside. Surrounding the boulder were a few smaller stones. It seemed like these were tables and stools.


    After leading the two to their seats in the pavilion, Iron-armed Devilish Ape entered the cave and after a short while, brought out a plate of spirit fruits and a simple teapot.


    Arriving at the pavilion, Iron-armed Devilish Ape placed the Spirit Fruits in front of the two and said: "I don''t have much good stuff here, just these Spirit Fruits are barely edible. Little friends, please do not be courteous."


    As it spoke, it took out two stone bowls from nowhere, poured a bowl of water each, and placed it in front of the two.


    After finishing all these, Iron-armed Devilish Ape sat down on his seat and looked at the two of them eagerly.


    Lu Feng picked up the water bowl in front of him, took a sip, and said with praise: "What a sweet spring water, with faint spirit energy inside, Iron Arms Senior has troubled you!"


    "Hahaha!" As long as little friend likes it! "


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape laughed.


    Xu Yeyue who was at the side also drank a mouthful of spring water, she picked up a spirit fruit, and started to eat it.


    Seeing the two eating and drinking, Iron-armed Devilish Ape watched on happily from the side.


    Maybe it was because he had been lonely for too long, but at this moment, Iron-armed Devilish Ape seemed very kind and peaceful.


    After approximately an incense''s time, without waiting for Lu Feng to speak, Iron-armed Devilish Ape took the initiative to speak: "Little friends, the reason why I''m here today, is something that I have to start from a thousand years ago.


    At that time, I had already successfully become the group leader of the Devilish Ape Clan, and was currently cultivating the skill to convert Iron-armed Devilish Ape.


    At that time, my Devilish Ape clan was also deep within the Green Cloud Mountain Range, and could be considered to be a very large power. Just based on the number of clan members that had reached the Profound Stage, there were already more than ten of them.


    Until one day, a human cultivator came to our Devilish Ape Clan''s territory.


    As you all know, as Demonic Beast, we have very strong concept of territory.


    As a human cultivator, my tribesmen immediately started attacking the foreign invaders.


    But that person is too powerful, even I am unable to see through his cultivation level.


    In the end, my Devilish Ape family was defeated.


    However, that person did not completely exterminate our Devilish Ape and clan, even during the process of exchanging blows, he would very rarely harm the lives of our clan members.


    Finally, the man made a request for me to go with him and help him guard a place for a thousand years.


    When the time is up, let me go.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t mind slaughtering our entire clan of Devilish Ape.


    As you all know, the biggest characteristic of us Demonic Beast s compared to human cultivators is the strength of our physical bodies, as well as the generally long lifespan. Living for a few thousand years, to us who have reached the Profound Stage realm, is a very normal thing.


    So, in order to protect my clan, I followed him here.


    Speaking to here, you can probably guess, the one who defeated my Devilish Ape Clan and brought me here, is Spiritual Master Ziyang.


    This Spiritual Master Ziyang was already an existence that surpassed the Heaven Stage back then.


    Of course, this was something that I only found out afterwards.


    After entering this valley, Spiritual Master Ziyang told me to wait here peacefully, not to think about escaping.


    Soon after, he left the valley.


    After that, he brought back another Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle and another Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, placing them in the front and back of the valley respectively.


    Perhaps you guys know that the three of us are the three obstacles in this valley.


    Since you two have already appeared here, this proves that you two have already passed the trial of the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle.


    Of course, I also got a general idea of the situation from the previous fluctuation of the True Yuan as well as the sounds you all made.


    The three of us, although we guard this valley together, our personalities are not the same.


    After entering the valley, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had once wanted to ambush Dao Master Ziyang and take the opportunity to flee. That was why Dao Master Ziyang had sealed it underground and extracted a portion of its innate ability, turning it into a dense fog that prevented people from spying on the valley.


    The Heaven Defying Python behind me belongs to their species and has two heads.


    But I hate that species, so I don''t have much to do with it.


    For the past thousand years, you are the first outsiders that I have ever seen.


    Saying that, Iron-armed Devilish Ape paused, a look of sorrow flashed past his eyes.

 C127

    Seeing the sadness in the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s eyes, Lu Feng felt the same way. She also knew that, as an ape and an ape, being lively and active, having it live alone for a thousand years, was indeed a type of suffering for it.


    "Senior, who exactly is Spiritual Master Ziyang?" Is this where his cave is located? "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was immersed in reminiscing about the past, when the scene quieted down, Lu Feng suddenly asked.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s spirit was shaken as he glanced at Lu Feng with a complicated expression before continuing, "Who exactly is Spiritual Master Ziyang? This is something that I only found out after I entered the valley.


    As I said earlier, his strength is definitely above the Heaven Stage. He shouldn''t have appeared in this mortal world. "


    "Senior, I''m interrupting you, aren''t cultivators only able to cultivate Heaven Stage? Could it be that there are higher levels above? "


    Lu Feng could not help but interrupt the Iron-armed Devilish Ape and asked anxiously.


    Even Xu Yeyue who was at the side, was no longer chewing on the spirit fruit in her hands, but staring at Iron-armed Devilish Ape curiously with her big eyes.


    From what he knew before, the cultivation system of this world would stop at the Heaven Stage level. According to his own cultivation system, he would only be able to comprehend the void stage, and after that, the cultivation system corresponding to the three stages of Body Fusion, Grand Completion, and tribulation would be gone.


    This point had always troubled Lu Feng.


    Judging from Xu Yeyue''s expression, it seemed like she knew nothing about this at all.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said: "All of this was originally something that you two should not know at your level, but since you have already reached this stage, there is no need for me to hide anything anymore.


    You should all know that our Tian Yuan Continent, the four empires, and the Wildlands in the middle do not belong to any faction.


    Everyone thought that the Wilderness was a barren land with countless dangers within. This was a huge mistake.


    The reason why the Wilderness was like this was intentional.


    You may not know that in the heart of the Wilderness, there is an area with a radius of ten thousand miles that is blocked off by a natural formation.


    According to Spiritual Master Ziyang, the secret realm was the true core of the Tian Yuan Continent, and there were countless treasures of heaven and earth inside.


    As for all the cultivators on the continent, as long as they reached the peak of Late Heaven Stage, they would be secretly lured in and isolated from the world.


    This is also the reason why you all are not aware of the levels above Heaven Stage.


    According to Spiritual Master Ziyang, after breaking through the Heaven Stage, one would enter the Primordius Realm. The continent''s cultivation resources could not satisfy the needs of the Primordius Realm cultivators, and that was why the supreme elders of countless tens of thousands of years ago were forced to set up such a place in the center of the continent.


    It could be said that within the formation, it was equivalent to another world.


    The Primordius Realm is divided into nine stages, and each stage is further divided into the front, middle, back, and peak stages. This is the true essence of our cultivation.


    However, because of the existence of this great formation, for millions of years, it was very difficult for the cultivators of the continent to reach the level of Heaven Stage, let alone reach the peak of the Late Heaven Stage.


    As a result, over time, the Transmutation Unity Stage has gradually been forgotten by the people. Everyone only knows that once one reaches the Heaven Stage, they will reach the end point in their cultivation. "


    Speaking to here, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was a little sad.


    Looking at Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue who were listening intently, Iron-armed Devilish Ape said: "Alright, let''s continue talking about Spiritual Master Ziyang.


    In truth, this Spiritual Master Ziyang was a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Primordius Stage. He was only one step away from rising into the sky.


    The reason he''d appeared in the mortal world was because he''d been plotted against by his enemies. His strength had been greatly reduced, and he''d coincidentally managed to escape the secret realm and come to the mortal world by chance.


    But Spiritual Master Ziyang''s injuries were too severe and he was no longer able to return to the secret realm to seek revenge.


    This was why he had found such a place to bury his bones.


    But Spiritual Master Ziyang isn''t willing to lose his own dao, so he left a clue in the outside world and brought the three of us here as his guard to help him test the talent and temperament of outsiders.


    This place wasn''t actually the first place that Adept Ziyang discovered it.


    At the end of the valley, there was the final burial ground of Adept Ziyang.


    However, that was actually an entrance to an underground palace.


    As for what is inside the underground palace, Spiritual Master Ziyang didn''t personally go down, so I naturally don''t know.


    Alright, now that I''ve told you the general situation, let''s talk about how you plan to pass this stage. "


    After recounting everything that he knew, Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s expression suddenly became solemn, and he said very formally.


    Lu Feng came back to her senses after hearing about the secret message earlier. She said to the Iron-armed Devilish Ape in surprise, "Senior, what you mean is that we still need to pass through you before we can continue onward?"


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape replied sternly, "That''s right.


    Since I agreed to Spiritual Master Ziyang''s request, I naturally have to guard this trial well.


    I just don''t know what kind of method you plan to use to get past me. "


    Lu Feng''s heart stirred as she said respectfully, "Senior, you should know that our strength is not worth mentioning when compared to senior''s.


    I think it''s better this way. The way to pass the trial is up to senior to decide.


    If we cannot do it, we will retreat on the spot and not take another step into this valley. If we are lucky enough to pass, please do not make things difficult for us, Senior. "


    "Hahaha!"


    Little friend, you''re really smart!


    How about this, I won''t make things difficult for you guys. I''ll give you guys a stick of incense''s time, as long as you force me half a step back, I''ll immediately let you guys pass.


    If you can give me an unexpected surprise, I might even give you another surprise! "


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue looked at each other as a bitter smile flashed across their faces.


    The strength of this Iron-armed Devilish Ape was above the Earth Stage realm, and was even higher than a large level Xu Yeyue by, above that by two large levels. With just the strength of the two of them, not to mention forcing the Iron-armed Devilish Ape half a step back, they might not even be able to get close to him.


    "Senior, how about we discuss it?"


    Xu Yeyue suddenly said to Iron-armed Devilish Ape while grinning.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was startled, and asked puzzledly: "Little girl, what do you have to say?"


    Xu Yeyue, however, was still grinning as she asked: "Senior, how did you make the agreement with Senior Ziyang back then?"


    "Back then, Spiritual Master Ziyang had only told me to stay here and protect for a thousand years, just to wait for a fated person to come. He didn''t say anything else."


    Xu Yeyue suddenly slammed the table heavily, and said: "This is it!


    Senior, look, Senior Ziyang didn''t say he must stop us either.


    And you said just now that we''re the only ones who''ve been here for a thousand years.


    Then can I understand that this Sir Lu Feng and I are the people you mentioned to be fated? "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was startled, can you still think like this?

 C128

    Ignoring the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s daze, Xu Yeyue continued to speak, "Senior, look, not only is it a thousand years, we are the first ones to arrive here, and we even have a huge advantage."


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape interrupted Xu Yeyue and asked: "What advantage do you have?"


    Xu Yeyue replied without the slightest hesitation: "Young!


    Senior, look, I am twenty years old this year, and my strength has already reached the peak of the Late Yellow Stage. Before long, I should be able to enter the Profound Stage.


    This Sir Lu Feng by my side is even younger.


    Oh right, Lu Feng, how old are you this year? "


    As Xu Yeyue was speaking, she suddenly realised that she did not know Lu Feng''s true age, and anxiously turned to ask.


    Lu Feng said, "Senior, Yeyue, I''m seventeen this year."


    Xu Yeyue immediately continued: "Senior, look, he''s only seventeen years old, and his strength has already reached the Early Yellow Stage. It can be said that his talent is even above mine."


    However, Iron-armed Devilish Ape glared at him and said, "So what?"


    Xu Yeyue continued to speak, "Senior, we are so young and already have this kind of cultivation, which proves that our talent is top-notch.


    It should satisfy a little bit of what Senior Ziyang has requested of the latter, right? "


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape nodded his head and said, "Indeed, you two brats are both talented youths."


    "Exactly!"


    Xu Yeyue hurriedly accepted it, and continued: "That''s why, Senior''s mission, is actually a test of our nature.


    As for as far as I know, there is currently no formation that specifically tests a person''s temperament.


    Therefore, looking at a person''s personality, that was a very long time. Otherwise, it would be very easy to be fooled by the surface phenomenon.


    Senior should agree with this, right? "


    "Not bad, that makes sense!"


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape nodded.


    Seeing Iron-armed Devilish Ape nod, Xu Yeyue immediately replied, "That''s why Senior, in order to test our strength again, you have already lost all meaning.


    And we meet Senior Ziyang''s standards.


    Senior, you should just let us pass. "


    The one in front of the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was still nodding his head, but after hearing Xu Yeyue''s words, he immediately shook his head and said, "That won''t do, I still haven''t completed my mission.


    Before I fulfill my promise to Spiritual Master Ziyang, I cannot leave this valley. You little girl, do you want me to stay here in this valley until I die? "


    "No, no, no. Senior, please do not misunderstand, I did not mean to do that."


    Seeing that the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was showing signs of breaking out, Xu Yeyue anxiously said.


    "Then how do you explain why I directly let you pass?"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was not so easy to fool as to not forgive and forget.


    Xu Yeyue immediately stopped smiling and said seriously: "Senior, the suggestion I made just now, was actually for senior to consider.


    However, I was interrupted by you before I could even finish speaking. "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was startled, why is it my fault?


    However, Xu Yeyue did not care about Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s expression and continued: "Senior, the reason why I proposed for us to go over was actually to give senior a true opportunity to complete the mission.


    As we said earlier, testing a person''s nature is a task that lasts for a long time.


    As for me and this Young Master Lu, we can''t stay here for too long.


    In this way, senior won''t be able to complete the mission, and we will also lose the opportunity to continue forward.


    Thus, I think that Senior should first let us continue moving forward.


    As for you, senior, you will temporarily stay by our side.


    After we obtain Senior Zi Yang''s cultivation technique and treasures, we''ll temporarily leave them in Senior''s custody.


    After that, we will leave the valley. As for you, Senior, in order to continue your mission, you will have to follow by our side and inspect our minds at all times.


    We''ll wait until senior thinks that we''ve passed the exam before handing over senior Ziyang''s legacy to us.


    This way, we can not only not waste too much time, but also allow our senior to complete his mission and leave the valley ahead of time.


    What do you think, Senior? "


    This time, Iron-armed Devilish Ape was completely stunned. Why is it that listening to this little girl''s suggestion has such a tempting effect?


    Lu Feng on the other hand, almost broke out laughing, as if holding back her laughter was extremely tiring.


    This Xu Yeyue was too evil, not only did sshe want to pass this trial effortlessly, he also wanted to lure the Iron-armed Devilish Ape away, and this was the same as tricking a free gold medal fighter to stay by her side.


    "Little girl, do you really have that much confidence in passing the test of personality?"


    After being tempted for a long time, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape finally asked a question that he himself knew was very far-fetched.


    "Of course!


    Senior, look at a good lady like me, who has a kind nature. She is definitely the only one in the world, so how can she not understand the test of her character? "


    Xu Yeyue blinked her eyes, pretended to be naive and said shamelessly.


    "But, if I leave, won''t there be no one watching over this second stage?"


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape said hesitantly.


    It could be seen that Iron-armed Devilish Ape was very interested in Xu Yeyue''s suggestion.


    Xu Yeyue heard that it worked, then how was she far from success?


    "Senior, all the legacies that Senior Ziyang left behind have been taken away by us. Is there any meaning for you to still guard the second trial?"


    "Besides, Senior will continue with your promised mission, and will not leave the valley without permission. I believe Senior Zi Yang''s spirit in heaven will not blame you for this."


    Xu Yeyue said very sincerely.


    "That''s not right!"


    "Little girl, I nearly fooled you!"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s face suddenly changed as he pointed at Xu Yeyue and shouted.


    "Senior, what''s wrong?"


    Xu Yeyue asked in confusion. The expression on her face was definitely not an act this time.


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape said angrily, "After the two of you receive the inheritance, you can naturally return to your human society.


    I am just a Demonic Beast, how will I evaluate you?


    Although I have a bit of power, the number of Supreme Elders in your human race is simply uncountable. When the time comes, you can just find any expert to annihilate me with ease. "


    Xu Yeyue said, "Senior, are you worried about this?


    Look, I heard that there''s a way to make a Demonic Beast recognize a human as its master, but it''s not the kind of forced ownership. The Demonic Beast still continues to preserve its consciousness and freedom.


    Senior, look at the two of us, why don''t you choose one of us and acknowledge us as your master? Once you''ve completed the test on us, we can break this master-servant relationship and let senior go.


    What do you think, Senior? "


    Xu Yeyue finally revealed her ultimate goal as she looked at Iron-armed Devilish Ape with a bit of anticipation, waiting for the answer from this top-notch Demonic Beast.


    At this moment, Lu Feng could clearly see a furry fox tail fluttering behind Xu Yeyue''s back.

 C129

    When Xu Yeyue said till here, if Iron-armed Devilish Ape still did not react, then its Earth Stage and Demonic Beast would really become a fool.


    Laughing, Iron-armed Devilish Ape said to Xu Yeyue in a thought-provoking manner: "Little girl, not bad, you are quite bold, to actually have ideas on me!"


    However, Xu Yeyue didn''t have the slightest bit of self-consciousness or awkwardness from being exposed, and said very naturally: "Senior, the so called ''good bird chooses the tree''.


    I think that my aptitude is considered outstanding. Even if I were to advance to the Heaven Stage within a hundred years, that wouldn''t be impossible.


    Moreover, a genius beautiful girl like me will absolutely not disgrace your name.


    How about it, Senior? Should we consider it? "


    Hearing Xu Yeyue''s boastful words, Lu Feng''s heart tightened. Just how proud was Iron-armed Devilish Ape? Wasn''t Xu Yeyue saying this to provoke its anger?


    If the Iron-armed Devilish Ape erupted with such ferocity and acted up on the spot, wouldn''t those two be killed on the spot?


    The scene became silent for a moment.


    In a moment, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape looked at Xu Yeyue with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Little girl, where did your confidence come from?


    Could it be that this is your current cultivation at the peak of the Yellow Stage? "


    However, Xu Yeyue did not show any weakness as she said, "That''s right, I have already reached the level of Yellow Stage. How can I be weak in the future then?


    Besides, since we are able to arrive here, it means that we are lucky enough to be able to protect ourselves. At the same time, it also means that fate has befallen us.


    Senior, do you agree with this? "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape maintained his smile that was not a smile, and looked at Xu Yeyue quietly, without saying a word.


    When Xu Yeyue still wanted to say something, Lu Feng reached out to stop her, and said to the Iron-armed Devilish Ape: "Senior, what Yeyue has said is already very clear, and now, the choice is in Senior''s own hands, where should we go from, I hope senior can give me a word."


    "Hahaha!"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape laughed loudly, his face filled with ridicule: "You two little brats, truly wishful thinking, with your insignificant strength, you still want to be my master?


    Didn''t you want me to give you a message?


    "Then I''ll tell you now."


    Saying that, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape suddenly stopped.


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue both looked at Iron-armed Devilish Ape somewhat nervously, and Xu Yeyue in particular, had an expression of anticipation and anxiety.


    The expression on Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s face suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Fine, I agree!"


    Originally, Lu Feng was already somewhat prepared to give up. Although Xu Yeyue was still looking forward to it, Lu Feng actually no longer held much hope.


    Who would''ve thought that at this moment, such a miraculous twist would come?


    Xu Yeyue was also very excited, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape actually agreed to it. This was simply too great, she did not waste her previous words.


    A huge happiness suddenly came about, causing Xu Yeyue to be stunned.


    On the other hand, Lu Feng didn''t really care about the Iron-armed Devilish Ape to begin with. Now that she heard that the Iron-armed Devilish Ape had agreed to it, he did not have much of a change in heart.


    "Lu Feng, pinch me to see if I''m dreaming. I think I heard that senior agreed to leave with us."


    After a while, Xu Yeyue suddenly raised her head, and said to Lu Feng nervously.


    Lu Feng was a little mute. When she saw that Xu Yeyue was just trying to tempt the Iron-armed Devilish Ape with all her heart, he could not believe her own eyes.


    "Enough, Yeyue, stop messing around. Senior has agreed to be your Magic Pet."


    Lu Feng did not display much towards Xu Yeyue''s performance, and continued to speak calmly.


    "Is that so?"


    Xu Yeyue glanced at Lu Feng somewhat blankly.


    Lu Feng nodded speechlessly.


    Who knew, in the next moment, Xu Yeyue suddenly jumped up from the stone chair and rushed into Lu Feng''s embrace, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, Lu Feng, I succeeded, Iron Arms Senior has agreed to be my pet."


    Perhaps she felt that this was not enough to express the joy in her heart, Xu Yeyue suddenly raised her head, and with a "Ba Ji", he kissed Lu Feng''s face.


    After the kiss, perhaps Xu Yeyue had also reacted, as she let go of the arms that were wrapped around Lu Feng''s neck in embarrassment, and still reluctantly left Lu Feng''s embrace.


    He looked at Iron-armed Devilish Ape solemnly and said: "Iron Arms Senior, thank you for being my new disciple. Don''t worry, I, Xu Yeyue, will definitely keep my word, and once you have completed the test for us, I will definitely let you go."


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape waved his hand and said, "Little girl, you don''t have to be that useless either. Since I have decided to follow you, I will no longer have the heart to betray you.


    Perhaps you all do not know, that even if I leave this valley now, I will no longer be able to return to our Devilish Ape Clan.


    A thousand years, was simply too long. Who knew what kind of situation the current Devilish Ape would have?


    Besides, my return would also leave the current clan leader in the dust.


    Could it be that I''m going to have another fight with my juniors for the clan chief?


    Forget it, since I''ve left that year, what''s the point in going back?


    "It would be better if I did as you say. I''ll follow you, a person with great fortune and great fortune, to see the outside world."


    The Iron-armed Devilish Ape revealed his original intention, and Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue immediately understood its meaning. What had passed was finally gone, there was no need to pursue it anymore, it was better to start a new life.


    At this moment, Lu Feng suddenly had a revelation, for a long time. She had never been able to let go of the hatred she had towards Jade Emperor Haotian in her previous life. She never stopped thinking about returning to the Heavenly Court, reclaiming the glory that belonged to him, and restoring the glory of the former Heavenly Court to the Demon Clan.


    This kind of thinking could be said to be extremely wrong.


    The so called cycle of heaven, there was always a number of days. Wasn''t the number of days when Witch Race and his own demon clan fell?


    If he really had to go against the heavens, then in this life, he probably would not be able to achieve the highest achievement.


    Forget it, from today onwards, I, Lu Feng, will let go of all my past hatred. From today onwards, I will live for myself, and only fight for the people I am worried about.


    After thinking through all of these, Lu Feng suddenly felt her entire body relaxed, the bottleneck that was initially stuck at the peak of the early stage of the Aurous Core Stage, seemed to have loosened.


    After that, Lu Feng naturally sat cross legged, channeled her Circulating Star Fighting Spell, and began to absorb the surrounding nature spirit energy.


    As for Xu Yeyue and the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, they were going through their master recognition procedures. Furthermore, under the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s request, it was not a temporary recognition of a master, but a true recognition of a master. In other words, from today onwards, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape would become Xu Yeyue''s true magical pet.

 C130

    After recognizing Lu Feng as her master, Xu Yeyue finally remembered him, and immediately looked towards Lu Feng with a blissful expression.


    "Lu Feng, are you cultivating? Why did you choose this time to enter a state of cultivation? "


    When she looked over, Miss Xu was somewhat shocked to discover that Lu Feng was actually sitting cross-legged there. She had gathered a lot of nature''s spirit energy around him and had already entered a state of forgetfulness.


    Xu Yeyue said as she walked towards Lu Feng. She reached out her hand to push Lu Feng''s shoulder.


    "Master, you can''t!"


    Just as Xu Yeyue''s pain was about to reach Lu Feng''s shoulder, Iron-armed Devilish Ape behind him suddenly shouted.


    Withdrawing her jade hand with some suspicion, Xu Yeyue asked Iron-armed Devilish Ape: "Iron Arms Senior, what''s wrong?"


    Even though she had accepted Iron-armed Devilish Ape as her own companion, Xu Yeyue still maintained her respect for the Iron-armed Devilish Ape and still called it the Iron Arms Senior. Despite the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s repeated requests and claims that this was disrespectful to him, Xu Yeyue still insisted on doing as she pleased.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape came to Xu Yeyue''s side, looked at him seriously, and said to Xu Yeyue: "Master, this Brother Lu has quite the great fortune, to have actually entered the state of enlightenment.


    Let''s not disturb him for now. After he finishes his comprehension, he will naturally wake up. "


    With that, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape indicated for Xu Yeyue to retreat and leave Lu Feng''s side.


    After exiting the pavilion, Iron-armed Devilish Ape brought Xu Yeyue to the other side of the cave.


    Seeing Xu Yeyue constantly looking back at Lu Feng, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was secretly amused.


    "Master, you seem to be interested in this Brother Lu?"


    After finding a place to sit with Xu Yeyue, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape asked carelessly.


    Xu Yeyue was startled, was she interested in Lu Feng?


    Thinking back to everything that happened since she met Lu Feng, Xu Yeyue was a little confused.


    In Xu Yeyue''s memories, he had only met Lu Feng once. It was also the time when they had bumped into each other in the library.


    That memory, for Xu Yeyue, was not something beautiful. Her restricted region had even been unintentionally violated by Lu Feng once.


    This was also the reason why Xu Yeyue planned to lure Lu Feng to this underground palace valley.


    It was just that Xu Yeyue herself did not understand why a pampered young miss would choose to follow Lu Feng into the valley after putting on makeup.


    Was it to explore the underground palace? Not really.


    Was it to find a chance to teach Lu Feng a lesson? Not all.


    As she thought about it, Xu Yeyue also became confused.


    Seeing the confusion in Xu Yeyue''s eyes, Iron-armed Devilish Ape secretly sighed, he was a fool.


    Forget it, I am just a Demonic Beast, and am Xu Yeyue''s magic pet. I better not worry about these things and let them develop on their own.


    Thinking up to here, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape changed his tone and said to Xu Yeyue: "Master, this Brother Lu''s luck is deep. It looks like the two of you really have a good chance of seeing the light of day in this underground palace that has been dormant for a thousand years!"


    Hearing Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s words, Xu Yeyue suddenly woke up from her stupor. She looked at Iron-armed Devilish Ape and said, "Iron Arms Senior, since he has such a great opportunity, we only need to give him the necessary help.


    "I believe that after opening the underground palace, we will be able to get our share of the benefits there."


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape laughed and said, "Master, do you two still need to be so clear about each other?"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape did not continue his words.


    Just a moment ago, when Xu Yeyue was carefully thinking back to what happened after she entered the valley, she herself had discovered that after the incident at the forbidden area, she herself had unwittingly been attracted by Lu Feng.


    From the looks of it, the so-called revenge plan was more like a prank.


    What happened after they entered the valley, especially after they met the Sickle Armoured Beetle, Xu Yeyue''s performance had already entered Xu Yeyue''s eyes.


    Furthermore, from Xu Yeyue''s point of view, Lu Feng had a natural temperament and an extraordinary aura, which seemed to be constantly attracting her.


    After being teased by Iron-armed Devilish Ape, Xu Yeyue instead, truly understood her inner heart. Yes, she, Xu Yeyue, Miss Xu, had already unknowingly fallen for Lu Feng.


    When he thought about how the two of them had only known each other from a misunderstanding and a fight, even Xu Yeyue himself found it funny.


    But, thinking about it, if it wasn''t for the misunderstanding they had that day, it would be difficult for Xu Yeyue and Lu Feng to meet again.


    Xu Yeyue was the daughter of one of the City Lord''s Mansion, one of the true inheritors of the sect, and was shining like the bright moon in the sky while Lu Feng, who came from a small city in a remote area, was just an ordinary Outer Sect disciple in the sect.


    Speaking of which, the two of them belonged to the same type of category. It was a miracle that they were able to reach such a stage.


    "Yue''er, father is watching your Red Luan Star Movement. It seems that just this year, you will meet the benefactor of your life!"


    The Ghost King''s words suddenly appeared beside Xu Yeyue''s ears.


    It seemed like the Red Luan Star Movement that father mentioned that day should be on Lu Feng.


    Thinking up to here, Xu Yeyue''s face became hot, then she unconsciously thought about how she took the initiative to throw herself into Lu Feng''s embrace. It was as if she was agitated, she even hugged her neck and fiercely kissed him.


    Looking at Xu Yeyue''s blurry eyes which dyed his cheeks, Iron-armed Devilish Ape thought to himself, it seems that his master has really thought things through.


    Right at that moment, a huge change suddenly occurred in the pavilion that Lu Feng was in.


    Lu Feng who was in a meditative state, suddenly felt a huge suction force from her body, attracting the Heaven and Earth aura in the valley to gather around Lu Feng.


    Very soon, a large ball of spirit energy, that seemed to be almost solid formed beside Lu Feng. With Lu Feng''s position as the center, it slowly rotated.


    Lu Feng''s body had already left the stone bench she was sitting on previously and floated in the air, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.


    Looking at Lu Feng''s expression, Xu Yeyue asked somewhat anxiously: "Iron Arms Senior, what kind of cultivation technique is Lu Feng training in, why is there such a big commotion?"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape had the urge to roll his eyes. I''m only acquainted with you guys today and I''m not familiar with your human training system, so how would I know what kind of cultivation technique he cultivates? It was really chaotic when it came to caring!


    "Senior, nothing will happen to him, right?"


    Looking at the spiritual energy ball that was gradually increasing in size, Xu Yeyue asked worriedly.


    "Master, I just said that this Brother Lu is someone with great fortune. From the looks of it, he doesn''t seem like a person who died prematurely, so naturally nothing will happen to his.


    Master, if you believe in me, Old Tie, then why don''t we retreat a bit further and wait and see what happens.


    I believe that with this sudden insight, Brother Lu will definitely reap a great harvest. "

 C131

    Lu Feng who was inside the tornado ball did not know that her breakthrough this time would cause such a commotion. Furthermore, she had suddenly entered a state of enlightenment and did not even have the time to arrange a small concealment array for herself.


    Speaking of which, after coming to the Tian Yuan Continent for so long, this was the first time Lu Feng entered a state of cultivation under the watch of someone else.


    Before this, when even Lu Weirui was so close to him, it was impossible for him to see it with his own eyes while he was cultivating, much less others.


    Of course, that time in the Spiritual Vein Valley, it couldn''t be counted as one. At that time, the person present was only a Azure Python Bull, and was even Lu Feng''s magic pet.


    The current Lu Feng, had already smoothly broken through the bottleneck that she had been stuck at all times, and entered the middle stages of the Aurous Core stage.


    However, Lu Feng was not in a hurry to wake up from her meditative state. Instead, she continued to circulate the Circulating Star Fighting Spell, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to stabilize her cultivation.


    At the same time, Lu Feng felt that as the Heaven and Earth aura continued to surge in, she had already stabilized herself at the middle stage of the Aurous Core stage.


    As for the circulation of the Circulating Star Fighting Spell, it seemed to have become smoother due to him opening the knot in his heart.


    Until the morning of the second day, only then did the surrounding spiritual energy ball slowly shrink, and in the end, all entered Lu Feng''s body, transforming into Lu Feng''s cultivation.


    Slowly opening her eyes, Lu Feng saw Xu Yeyue in front of him the first time.


    Even though he hadn''t slept for the entire night, the current Xu Yeyue had a pair of beautiful eyes that were as deep as a lake, and a gaze brimming with boundless joy. Along with the smile on her face, she stood not too far away from Lu Feng.


    Looking at Xu Yeyue who was still dressed as a man, Lu Feng suddenly felt warm in her heart.


    Behind the stone bench, Lu Feng stood up and said to Xu Yeyue in front of him: "Yue''er, it''s been hard on you to protect me!"


    Very naturally, Lu Feng called her "Yue''er" out.


    As for Xu Yeyue, she seemed to not feel anything amiss, and happily pounced over and grabbed onto one of Lu Feng''s arms, and said: "Lu Feng, you sure are lucky to be able to enter enlightenment, and even smoothly absorb that much spirit energy.


    Right, what is your current level of cultivation? "Why can''t I sense the Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from your body?"


    Looking at the pair of jade hands on her arm, Lu Feng laughed: "Perhaps the cultivation technique I cultivate is a bit special, that''s why you feel that you''re able to comprehend my specific strength.


    Actually, I only have the strength of Middle Yellow Stage now, and will soon reach the Late Yellow Stage.


    While the two of them were talking and laughing, a sound of breaking wind came out. A figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, it was Xu Yeyue''s new pet, Iron-armed Devilish Ape.


    Looking at the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s huge body, Lu Feng''s heart moved. She asked the Iron-armed Devilish Ape: "Iron Arms Senior, are you interested in concealing your own cultivation and changing the size of your body''s cultivation methods?


    Of course, once you completely stabilize your Earth Stage and stabilize your cultivation, you will be able to successfully transform yourself.


    However, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape said happily: "Brother Lu, do you know that method?"


    Lu Feng smiled slightly and said: "Senior, to be honest, I have a few Demonic Beast s as well. Of course, their strength is only in their Yellow Stage, so they are definitely not as strong as senior by a hair''s breadth. However, they have already grasped that method.


    Xu Yeyue suddenly said: "Lu Feng, I heard that when your sister Lu Weirui is outside, he will always have a parrot that looks weak on his shoulders, but someone has heard that parrot speaking human language, is that one of your pets?"


    Lu Feng never thought that Xu Yeyue''s ability to gather information was so strong that she even noticed this.


    "Yue''er, the parrot you speak of is actually a Golden Quill Eagle. It''s just that it normally hides its strength."


    Lu Feng also understood how Xu Yeyue felt about herself. From the moment she woke up, she had been hugging her arm the entire time.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was surprised: "Yellow Stage? ~ Isn''t the Yellow Stage Demonic Beast unable to speak human words? This is an ability that only Demonic Beast with Profound Stage s and above can possess. "


    Lu Feng laughed faintly, and said: "Actually, when the Demonic Beast arrived at the Yellow Stage, it had already awakened its intelligence. Being able to speak human language is only a matter of time, I can only use a secret technique to speed up this stage a little.


    Of course, although it can make the Demonic Beast speak up in advance, it will not affect their strength in the slightest. "


    This time, Iron-armed Devilish Ape and Xu Yeyue were completely shocked, just who was this Lu Feng, to actually have such a heaven opposing art?


    At this moment, Xu Yeyue had steeled her heart and heart, and her feelings towards Lu Feng, had become even more pleasing to the eye.


    But Iron-armed Devilish Ape was rejoicing over his previous choice. Now it seemed that the reason it recognized Xu Yeyue as its master was not because it gave him too much face, but because it had thoroughly benefited from Xu Yeyue''s efforts.


    An existence like Lu Feng was definitely not someone at the top of the pool. Sooner or later, when there was an opportunity, he would become someone at the peak.


    As for Xu Yeyue, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was attached to Lu Feng. Lu Feng''s performance didn''t seem to reject her at all.


    This meant that this was the kind of couple that would eventually have a good marriage.


    To be able to become a Magic Pet before they had a chance to shine, this was definitely the good fortune of its Iron-armed Devilish Ape.


    "Brother Lu, I, Old Tie, am willing to learn the two techniques you have mentioned, I hope that Brother Lu will be willing to teach me."


    As he spoke, he bowed deeply towards Lu Feng.


    "Senior, there is no need to be so courteous. I will pass down the techniques to you right now."


    Lu Feng smiled slightly, and did not dodge, but calmly accepted the greeting from the Iron-armed Devilish Ape. Of course, it was necessary to be courteous with him, even if it meant speaking politely to him.


    Although it was obvious that the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was powerful, Lu Feng had seen a lot of demon clan experts in her previous life, so she did not really fancy it.


    Of course, now that Iron-armed Devilish Ape had become Xu Yeyue''s Magic Pet, it was equivalent to indirectly forming a subordinate relationship with Lu Feng.


    With regards to this situation, Lu Feng still did not mind increasing their abilities a little.


    At that moment, Lu Feng arrived in front of Iron-armed Devilish Ape and used the enlightened method to pass on all the concealment techniques and the body transformation technique to him.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was also an intelligent person, it didn''t take long for him to completely master the usage of the two arts.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape, who was very happy, immediately used his transformation technique and turned himself into a foot tall monkey. He then leapt onto Xu Yeyue''s shoulder and sat on the ground.


    With regards to Iron-armed Devilish Ape, who had shrunk in size, Xu Yeyue, as her master, liked him immensely.

 C132

    In the underground palace valley.


    Xu Yeyue took the little monkey like Iron-armed Devilish Ape and held Lu Feng''s arm. Like a true immortal couple, they leisurely strolled in the valley.


    Just as they were about to leave the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s territory, Lu Feng quietly warned Xu Yeyue: "Yue''er, be careful!"


    Hearing that, Xu Yeyue released Lu Feng''s arm, took out her own jade blade and whip, and wrapped the whip around her arm, in her other hand she held the light green jade blade.


    As for Lu Feng, this was the first time she had summoned his Chaotic Clock before fighting an enemy. It was floating above him and she was holding her Crimson Nimbus Sword while holding twelve pitch black Formation Flag in her other hand.


    From Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s mouth, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue found out that the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python guarding the last stage of the valley was slightly stronger than the Iron-armed Devilish Ape. It was just that because it had two heads, it could only be considered a mutated species.


    However, the two heads of Double-headed Heaven Defying Python were respectively grasped water and wood type abilities, and when facing enemies, they could truly communicate through their hearts, making them difficult to deal with.


    Given Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s current strength, against Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, it was practically an inevitable defeat.


    As a result, before leaving the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s cave, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue had discussed with each other that in this battle, they must once again borrow the strength of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation and trap the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python inside.


    At that time, he would think of how to use the shortest amount of time to kill this Demonic Beast.


    To Lu Feng, even the dragon race''s ancestor, the Flying Dragon, was nothing, let alone this kind of low level organism.


    However, Lu Feng knew that her strength was limited.


    Therefore, Lu Feng''s plan was to use the Chaotic Clock''s word seal technique to seal the space inside the formation so that the Devilish God could take the opportunity to kill the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    At the same time, whether it was Lu Feng''s Crimson Nimbus Sword or Xu Yeyue''s jade blade, both could take the chance to enter the array and attack the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, speeding up the process of killing it.


    As for the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, when the two of them killed the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, he gave them a formation to prevent any accidents from happening.


    After all, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape and the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python were both Guardian Demonic Beast arranged by Spiritual Master Ziyang. It did not seem appropriate for the newly surrendered Iron-armed Devilish Ape to attack the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, who was also a Guardian Beast.


    Now, just as she was about to enter the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s territory, Lu Feng naturally had to focus all of her attention on preventing herself from being ambushed by the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    Snake-type creatures were the most insidious and cunning creatures. Double-headed Heaven Defying Python were even more so one of the best.


    Although Lu Feng had the Celestial Tyrant Body in her hands, had been cultivating the Shuntian Monarch Technique and constantly tempering her own body, he still had not reached the true Unbreakable Diamond Physique. There was a possibility of being injured by the attacks of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    There was even less of a need to talk about Xu Yeyue. To her, body tempering cultivation technique seemed to be something like a fantasy to her.


    After finishing all preparations, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue looked at each other and smiled, then walked forward shoulder to shoulder.


    "Halt!"


    Right after entering the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s territory, Xu Yeyue was still sighing about the scenery and atmosphere here. Compared to the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s territory, it was inferior by several levels, when a cold and sinister shout suddenly sounded.


    "Who is it?" Sneaking around? "


    Lu Feng purposely pretended to be at a loss, looking around and even shouted out loud.


    "That''s right. You are a person with your head in the shadows. Hurry up and come out to face death!"


    Xu Yeyue also looked around and shouted along with him.


    The two of them had a clear goal, which was to use this kind of ignorant act to confuse the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s perception. At the same time, they wanted to use the more insolent words to stimulate the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s family and make that guy show himself earlier.


    As expected, just as the two of them finished talking, a gust of cold wind blew from the front, bringing with it a fishy smell.


    "Crash!"


    Following the sound of the leaves swaying, a long black figure suddenly flew out from the forest, and quickly landed on the ground, colliding with Lu Feng.


    "Yue Er, be careful!"


    Lu Feng shouted loudly. She tossed the Crimson Nimbus Sword in her hands into the air and quickly wrapped her arms around Xu Yeyue''s slender waist.


    After missing out on the incoming black shadow, Lu Feng controlled the Crimson Nimbus Sword, and quickly turned around in the air. She conveniently placed Xu Yeyue behind him, and went to face the floating beast in front of him.


    The black shadow that had emerged from the forest was indeed a Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    The Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was covered with black and green mixed scales from head to toe, and its body was approximately as thick as a bucket. It was about fifteen to thirty meters long, and at a location that should have been seven inches, a fork suddenly appeared. A long neck and a flat triangular head extended out from each of them, spitting out cores as they coldly stared at Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue who were atop the Crimson Nimbus Sword.


    "Which junior?" How dare you barge into my, the Heaven Defying Python''s territory? "


    Seeing Lu Feng turning around, the python on the left shouted without restraint, its tone extremely dark and cold.


    "Lu Feng, is this the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python?


    "He doesn''t look that good either!"


    Xu Yeyue stuck half her face out from Lu Feng''s shoulder, sized up the fifteen to thirty-six feet long Double-headed Heaven Defying Python in front of him, and said disdainfully.


    "Junior, you are courting death!"


    The python on the right side seemed to be infuriated by Xu Yeyue''s words, and roared at him.


    At the same time, Lu Feng felt a sudden movement from the True Yuan below him. Lowering her head to look, she saw that a jade green net made from countless tree vines was quickly but soundlessly enveloping the two of them, seemingly wanting to take them down in one fell swoop.


    Lu Feng quickly urged her Crimson Nimbus Sword to fly downwards at a great speed, barely dodging the power of the big net.


    Lu Feng did not stop and quickly arrived near the ground. Lu Feng took back his Crimson Nimbus Sword and held it in her hand, then together with Xu Yeyue, they both landed on the ground.


    "Junior, you are quite nimble!


    However, do you think that my Heaven Defying Python King can''t do anything to you when you land on the ground? "


    As they spoke, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python brought along a burst of cold wind as it pounced towards the two of them.


    Xu Yeyue immediately brandished her jade blade and released a wave of blade beams at the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    At the same time, Xu Yeyue waved his right hand, controlled the long whip in his hand and fiercely lashed it towards the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python in the air.


    Taking the chance when the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was in the air, Lu Feng raised her hand and swung down twelve Formation Flag, quickly landing beside the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    "Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, rise!"


    Lu Feng roared out, and with a wave of her hands, countless of techniques flew towards the twelve Formation Flag s.


    At the same time, the Chaotic Clock that was always floating above Lu Feng''s head suddenly appeared above the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, releasing a ray of dark yellow light, locking the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python in place temporarily.

 C133

    Although the Chaotic Clock had temporarily pinned the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python in the air, it was still severely injured and had yet to recover. It could only stay still for a short period of time.


    However, this short period of time had already determined the tragic end of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    Taking advantage of the short period of time that the Chaotic Clock had held onto her, Lu Feng''s hands flew out, continuously forming hand seals. Finally, before the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was free from its bindings, the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation stood up.


    "Formation completed. Rise!"


    Following Lu Feng''s order, the Chaotic Clock suddenly retracted the dark yellow light that had trapped its Double-headed Heaven Defying Python and flew up. Floating above the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, it gradually hid itself and disappeared from Xu Yeyue''s and Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s line of sight.


    As for the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation below, rolling black fog came out from the twelve sides of the Formation Flag, covering all the space within the large formation. Nine three meter tall Devilish God came out from the flag surface''s body.


    The Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was somewhat aggrieved. Just as it was preparing to kill him in one strike, the small bronze bell, which had been floating above his head all this time, suddenly flew out and tied itself up in the air.


    At that moment, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was enveloped by a great power, causing the depths of its soul to involuntarily tremble.


    However, Double-headed Heaven Defying Python were, after all, top-notch Demonic Beast at the early stage of Earth Stage.


    He was naturally unwilling to submit to such an existence.


    After knowing that he had fallen into someone else''s trap, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python activated the True Yuan within its body and began to struggle with all its might, hoping to break that binding force and regain its freedom.


    Just as the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was about to go all out, the dark yellow light enveloping its body suddenly disappeared, and the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python realized that it had come to a place where it could not even see its own fingers, and its body was surrounded by a thick black fog.


    What is this place?


    The Double-headed Heaven Defying Python did not dare to move recklessly, and carefully released its own Spiritual Sense, wanting to find out exactly where it was.


    Right at that moment, a few strong winds cut through the silence in the array and blew towards the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s body.


    The Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was shocked. The enemy had hidden himself in the black mist and launched a sneak attack on it. This truly gave the snake a headache.


    With the cover of the black fog, the nine Devilish God s, with their huge bodies, were not afraid of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s detection at all.


    Furthermore, they had come from the black fog in the first place, so they could not be separated from each other. The Double-headed Heaven Defying Python s would have a tough time finding them if they wanted to borrow the Spiritual Sense''s help.


    At this moment, if the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python still did not understand that it was trapped by someone''s array, then its reputation as a top tier Demonic Beast would have been for nothing.


    However, the snake was cunning and suspicious. Before the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python understood the situation, it would not dare to move recklessly.


    The nine gusts of wind smashed onto the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s body in succession, causing a loud sound.


    But the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was actually more at ease.


    Judging from the strength of the previous attack, the enemy was unable to break through its defense. Looking at the powerful attack was equivalent to scratching its head.


    As a result, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python wrapped its thick and long body up quickly. Its two large heads, one in the front and one in the back, vigilantly watched its surroundings for any movement.


    Another round of air-piercing sounds came. This time, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python seemed to be able to clearly see a little, and there seemed to be eight or nine different attacks coming from different directions of its body.


    The Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s large head suddenly shot forward and a dark green water arrow shot towards one of the Devilish God.


    As expected, an arrow pierced the heart of the Devilish God and it immediately dissipated into the black mist.


    However, the Devilish God quickly reassembled itself on top of the flag surface and once again joined the battle.


    Lu Feng who was outside the formation, for the sake of making it easier for her Crimson Nimbus Sword s and Xu Yeyue''s jade blade to enter the formation, had to speed up the process of killing the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    Seeing the Devilish God s being chopped and killed in the large array, Xu Yeyue had already seen them before, but she was not surprised at all. The Iron-armed Devilish Ape was completely shocked, especially those Devilish God s, under the large array''s support, they were completely undead. After being torn apart by the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, they would agglomerate their bodies at the Formation Flag s location within the span of a few breaths, and once again join the encirclement.


    Looking at this, Iron-armed Devilish Ape was deeply glad for his choice. His master was truly blessed with great luck, although his strength was weak at the moment, with such a powerful array at his side that could kill enemies one or two levels higher, it was simply unfavorable.


    "Iron Arms Senior, Yue''er and I are going to join the battle for the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python. We''ll leave our safety to you!"


    Lu Feng turned around and said to the Iron-armed Devilish Ape who was completely dumbstruck.


    The monkey like Iron-armed Devilish Ape immediately nodded his head, and said: "Brother Lu, don''t worry, I, Old Tie will definitely protect you."


    With that, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape did not enlarge his size and immediately stood in mid air, vigilantly observing his surroundings to prevent accidents from happening.


    Seeing that the Iron-armed Devilish Ape had followed his plan and started to protect the two of them, Lu Feng smiled at Xu Yeyue and said: "Yue''er, release your jade blade, we will enter the formation and kill the enemy together!"


    Xu Yeyue also gave Lu Feng a sweet smile. Her beauty was similar to a hundred flowers blooming, and caused Lu Feng''s heart to uncontrollably tremble.


    Lu Feng immediately suppressed the restlessness in her heart, took out his Crimson Nimbus Sword, and shot it towards the group of Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation.


    Xu Yeyue naturally saw Lu Feng''s previous performance, and at the same time, she secretly rejoiced. She took out her own jade blade and closely followed Lu Feng''s Crimson Nimbus Sword, flying into the midst of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation and launching an attack at it.


    With the addition of the two Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact, the pressure on the array started to increase. Its body defense was not as perverted as the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle''s, although it had the scales on its body to help defend, it was still unable to stop the Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact''s constant attacks.


    Gradually, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python realized that with its passive defense, it was at a disadvantage. The Qi attacks that kept appearing in the array seemed to be tireless and endless, even if it destroyed the source of the Qi, in a few breaths, the Qi would join the siege once again.


    Now, it was even more powerful, the two Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact actually joined in as well.


    At this moment, there was no need to mention the grievance in the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s heart.

 C134

    However, everything was in the opposite direction. There were advantages and disadvantages.


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue had two Spirit Treasures under their command, and they had joined the ranks of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python that were trying to kill them. Although the effect was indeed good, the tightness of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation had been reduced by a small discount, and it was no longer possible to perfectly conceal the auras of the nine Devilish God anymore.


    Taking this opportunity, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python finally understood the situation around her. Within the black mist, there were nine tall figures, holding various types of weapons, constantly greeting her.


    After clarifying the locations of the Devilish God, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python felt a hidden hatred in its heart. Suddenly, it let go of the thick body that was coiled around it, and with a snake tail, it swept towards the Devilish God with a whistling sound.


    At the same time, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python spat out its snake core. One spell after another was cast, continuously attacking the two Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact s flying in the air.


    When the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was unleashed, it immediately suppressed Lu Feng and the others'' attacks. There were even four Devilish God s that were directly smashed into nothingness by the snake tail. They returned to the flag surface and continued condensing their bodies.


    Despite facing the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s might, Lu Feng did not panic. Instead, she and Xu Yeyue continued to control their respective weapons and continued to attack the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    Inadvertently, Lu Feng''s gaze turned towards the tenth Formation Flag, and the illusion of the Devilish God above, began to congeal and take shape.


    Seeing this scene, Lu Feng''s heart was at ease. As the tenth Devilish God took shape, she only needed to continue condensing the remaining two demons, and the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation would truly be able to evolve for the first time.


    Looks like I need to speed up the process of taking care of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python. With the essence of its body and the abundant vitality, it should be enough for the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation to finish this evolution.


    Thinking about it, the technique in Lu Feng''s hands became even faster.


    At the same time, Lu Feng secretly sent out an order to the Chaotic Clock that had been hiding in the sky all this time.


    This kind of harassment, was mainly just to make use of the effect of the "Subduing Character Formula" of the Chaotic Clock, stopping the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python from time to time, would naturally give Lu Feng and the other Devilish God more opportunities.


    Following the flash of a dark yellow light in the sky, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python in the formation sensed the great power from before once again.


    Taking this chance, Lu Feng commanded the Crimson Nimbus Sword to come in front of a large head of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python. Using a pair of snake eyes, she pricked the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python rapidly, almost blinding one of its eyes.


    At this time, the Chaotic Clock released its bindings once again, giving the Demonic Beast a chance to act as a buffer.


    Feeling the pain on his body, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python went crazy. These Devilish God with low strength and those two detestable humans, all wanted to die.


    "Water arrows filled the sky!"


    The Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s big head, that was made of water, suddenly roared.


    Within the formation, water arrows that were several feet long suddenly appeared and shot out from all directions.


    The enraged Double-headed Heaven Defying Python completely revealed the strength of its Earth Stage. After one strike, not only did it kill all of the Devilish God, it also caused the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation to sway for a while.


    Seeing that, Lu Feng immediately relaxed her control over the Crimson Nimbus Sword, and focused most of her energy on controlling the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation.


    After a few breaths of time, the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation once again regained its calm, and the tenth Devilish God had also successfully condensed.


    At this time, the ten Devilish God started attacking like they were on horseback. They surrounded the long snake body and started to kill.


    The Chaotic Clock in the air also began to harass them.


    Xu Yeyue then controlled the jade blade and consecutively unleashed several martial skills towards the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, interrupting its rampage.


    "Brother, are we going to die here today?"


    One of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python heads suddenly said to the other one.


    "Bullshit!" I am the elder brother, and you are the younger brother! "


    The most surprising thing was that another big head had snatched up the older brother''s position.


    While the two snake heads were dodging all kinds of attacks, they started arguing about who was the elder brother. It was as if life and death crisis was not as important as this issue.


    Seeing that, Lu Feng suddenly understood. No wonder the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python could not transform, it was originally two heads, both of them were trying to steal the boss''s position, and they could not give up, thus resulting in this ending.


    It seemed that the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s mutation was not perfect. Although there was an extra head, it did not seem to have a clear mind. Usually, it would not be able to be seen that, at such a critical time, it had caused an internal strife.


    Lu Feng naturally knew that an opportunity could not be lost, and immediately said to Xu Yeyue: "Yue''er, increase the attack power, this Double-headed Heaven Defying Python seems to have mental problems!"


    Furthermore, when Lu Feng said this, both of her hands were like butterflies piercing through flowers, continuously releasing one technique after another, controlling the jade-green blade in the array. She enlarged her body, and like an avalanche, she continued to slash at the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    As the number of wounds on the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s body increased, its counterattack force naturally decreased. As for the eleventh and twelfth Devilish God, they also condensed out one after another.


    At this point, killing the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was just a matter of time for Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue.


    In the morning of the second day, after a day and night of hard wear and tear, the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python had finally reached the point of death where it was unable to organize a proper defense and attack.


    Seeing that, Lu Feng waved her hand and retracted her Crimson Nimbus Sword, transforming into a large True Yuan hand, grabbing towards the sky above the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation.


    As Lu Feng''s large hand neared the Chaotic Clock, its body appeared in the air and quickly enlarged, before being grabbed by Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng lifted her hand and formed a seal, the 12 Devilish God s suddenly disappeared into the array soundlessly, and returned to their respective Formation Flag s.


    As for Lu Feng, she swung his True Yuan and smashed it down onto the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s face.


    "Clang!"


    A huge sound echoed. Under Lu Feng''s control, the might of the Chaotic Clock for one hour directly smashed apart a large head of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    However, Lu Feng continued to control the big hand of the True Yuan once again, and swung it towards the other snake head.


    Another loud noise resounded, and the remaining snake head of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python was smashed into a pile of meat paste.


    Following the disappearance of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python, Lu Feng''s big hands quickly faded away, disappearing into the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation.


    The Chaotic Clock also rapidly shrank, bringing a snake-like shadow with it, it quickly entered between Lu Feng''s eyebrows and disappeared.

 C135

    The Chaotic Clock took the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s soul and returned to the depths of Lu Feng''s sea of consciousness to automatically absorb the soul force.


    However, Lu Feng did not immediately withdraw the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation. Instead, she controlled the twelve Formation Flag s to extend onto the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s corpse and began to absorb their nourishment, continuously strengthening the Formation Flag itself.


    In less than half an incense''s time, the huge corpse of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python had been completely sucked dry by the Formation Flag, and its essence was completely sucked dry.


    "Yue Er, clean up the snake skin and snake bones. They are also good refining materials.


    I want to upgrade the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation. "


    After raising her hand and withdrawing the twelve Formation Flag, Lu Feng sat cross legged. She did not forget to instruct Xu Yeyue who was beside him.


    The Trinity Cauldron fell off from the ring finger of Lu Feng''s left hand, and quickly became a huge cauldron in front of Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng pointed with her finger, and a bunch of Sanmo True Fire s appeared from beneath the Trinity Cauldron, quietly burning.


    Raising his hand, he threw the twelve Formation Flag s into the center of the group of Trinity Cauldron.


    Xu Yeyue, who was at the side, saw Lu Feng''s movements, her eyes almost flying out of the stars, filled with love.


    Immediately after, Xu Yeyue thought of the arrangements Lu Feng had made for him just now. She also wanted to clean up the skin, scales, and bones of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python.


    "Smelly Lu Feng, don''t you know that I''m a girl? Are you afraid of this animal the most?"


    Xu Yeyue muttered as she walked towards the place where the array was set up.


    When the words left her mouth, Xu Yeyue was surprised, why did she say that out of the blue? Is this still the Miss Xu?


    Furthermore, as a cultivator, and a genius with some achievements, even as a woman, there was no possibility of Xu Yeyue being afraid of the withered corpse of the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python. What she said, was just a subconscious attempt to express two meanings, one was because she was disgusted by the stench of the snake, and the other was because she was slightly spoiled by Lu Feng.


    Unfortunately, Lu Feng was currently focusing all of her attention on refining the twelve Formation Flag, so she would not be able to hear what Xu Yeyue was mumbling about.


    When she arrived at the place where the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python''s corpse was, Xu Yeyue discovered that under the absorption of the twelve Formation Flag s, all that was left was a complete snake bone and a piece of snake skin with scales on it. All of the flesh, blood, True Yuan, and even the inner pellet had been completely absorbed by the Formation Flag, not even a single trace of odour was left.


    "Lu Feng, this Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation is really magical!"


    After lamenting for a bit, Xu Yeyue waved his hand and placed the snake skin and snake bone into a separate Qiankun bag. Carrying it in his hand, she walked towards Lu Feng''s position.


    At this time, Lu Feng was still maintaining her position of urging the flames under the Trinity Cauldron and constantly refining the twelve Formation Flag in the cauldron, not caring about anything else.


    After Xu Yeyue arrived at Lu Feng''s side, she found a place to sit down quietly, bent his knees, and rested her chin on his knees.


    The scene was very quiet, very peaceful, and filled with an odd sense of warmth.


    Lu Feng carefully controlled the strength of the Sanmo True Fire, sensing the changes made by the twelve Formation Flag. From time to time, she would add in some of the collected ingredients to increase the strength of the Formation Flag.


    Lu Feng had a very clear feeling that after this evolution, the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation would become his big help in the future. It was even more useful than the current Chaotic Clock.


    When she thought about the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation''s usage, Lu Feng couldn''t help but think back to the primitive world and the twelve Ancestral Mages.


    If this Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation evolved to its final form, would the 12 Ancestral Shaman Shadows contain a trace of the source energy of the 12 Ancestral Shamans?


    Lu Feng knew, although all twelve Ancestral Mages had already died, there was definitely still a trace of their origin energy between heaven and earth. This was also the origin of so many talented Body Refinement Cultivators.


    Thinking about it, Lu Feng''s heart couldn''t help but move, her Celestial Tyrant Body was the body tempering talent that Body Refinement Cultivators yearned for even in their dreams, does that also contain a trace of the origin power of Witch Race?


    It seemed that if there was a chance in the future, he could take a good look at his own body.


    Of course, Lu Feng believed that with her own cultivation of the Shuntian Arts, even if his body contained the origin of the Witch Race, it would not evolve into a Witch Race. At most, she would just learn some abilities unique to the Witch Race.


    One must know, the biggest difference between Witch Race and other clans, is that Witch Race naturally has no primordial spirit, and is unable to cultivate the Sea of Consciousness, and can only continuously increase the strength of one''s own body.


    Suppressing the fantasies in her heart, Lu Feng once again returned to her calm state as she earnestly refined the Formation Flag within the well.


    After about four hours, Lu Feng finally felt a change in the twelve Formation Flag.


    When the transformation was complete, Lu Feng then extinguished the Sanmo True Fire beneath the Trinity Cauldron, lifting her hand to pick up the twelve Formation Flag that were already floating at the mouth of the Trinity Cauldron.


    Seeing that Lu Feng had completed the refinement, Xu Yeyue also stood up and ran over to Lu Feng''s side, looking at the new Formation Flag with Lu Feng.


    Twelve inch long Formation Flag s neatly fell into Lu Feng''s hands. They were even rounder than before, and the aura they emitted, was also vaster and more vast.


    The biggest difference from before was that the twelve Devilish God that were originally formed had already disappeared. Replacing them was an even more solid and stronger Devilish God from the first Formation Flag.


    "Lu Feng, has the Formation Flag finished evolving?"


    Xu Yeyue looked around, although she had basically confirmed the result of the Formation Flag''s successful levelling, but she still could not help but ask.


    "En!"


    Lu Feng nodded her head, and said: "Yue''er, the current Formation Flag, has successfully risen from the previous Profound Stage artifact to a Yellow Stage spirit artifact.


    When they set up the formation in the future, the Devilish God would no longer be as weak as before.


    Although Devilish God will still die, no matter if it''s attack or defense, these Devilish God can no longer be compared with those from before. "


    "That''s great!


    Lu Feng, in the future, with this Formation Flag, you can definitely go beyond a few levels and kill your enemies.


    In my opinion, even if Earth Stage Expert were to face you now, as long as you have time to set up the formation, you can easily win. "


    Xu Yeyue was genuinely happy for Lu Feng.


    "Otherwise!"


    Lu Feng waved her hand, and said to Xu Yeyue with sincerity: "Yue''er, no matter how strong the formation is, it''s still an external object.


    The most important thing for us cultivators is to increase our own strength.


    Just like you said, others wouldn''t give me enough time to set up the formation. Unless they don''t even know of the existence of this formation.


    Thus, from today onwards, it would be best for us not to use this formation. "

 C136

    Regarding Lu Feng''s words, Xu Yeyue was not unhappy at all. She knew that when Lu Feng said this, it was for her sake.


    "Lu Feng, thank you!"


    Xu Yeyue''s thanks, was definitely from the bottom of her heart.


    However, Lu Feng held onto Xu Yeyue''s jade hands and said: "Yue''er, do you still need to say thanks between you and me?"


    Seeing Lu Feng''s rare performance, Xu Yeyue was moved. Idiot, I thought you were really an unromantic fool.


    But, who was Xu Yeyue? That was an existence that Lu Feng thought was a little demon.


    It was rare for Lu Feng to say something that was not considered a love story, but her face suddenly twitched, and she took out her jade hands from Lu Feng''s. With a twist of her face, she asked: "Who has anything to do with you?"


    After which, he turned around and walked away.


    What Lu Feng did not realize was that a crafty smile hung on Xu Yeyue''s face, especially that pair of starry eyes, which was brimming with smiles.


    Unable to figure out what Xu Yeyue was thinking, Lu Feng shook her head in amusement. He also knew that it was most likely because of her pride that Xu Yeyue was not really angry.


    Therefore, Lu Feng casually kept the twelve brand-new Formation Flag, and followed behind Xu Yeyue as they walked forward.


    As for Iron-armed Devilish Ape, who had always been in the air, he turned into a streak of light and quickly flashed across the sky. When he reappeared, he was already on Xu Yeyue''s shoulder.


    However, this old monkey, who was squatting on Xu Yeyue''s shoulder, turned her head and looked at Lu Feng, grimacing in pain, as if she was ridiculing Lu Feng for not understanding the situation.


    "You shameless old monkey!"


    Lu Feng scolded as she quickened her pace and walked shoulder to shoulder with Xu Yeyue.


    Under the guidance of the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, the two of them and the Demonic Beast soon arrived at the end of the valley.


    Jumping off Xu Yeyue''s shoulder, Iron-armed Devilish Ape returned to his original form. He pointed to a small mountain at the end of the mountain and said: "Master, Brother Lu, Spiritual Master Ziyang''s burial grounds is located at the bottom of this small mountain.


    Would you like to come with me and offer your sacrifices to me? "


    Lu Feng nodded her head and said: "Iron Arms Senior, Senior Zi Yang is a genuine senior expert. As someone who has yet to learn, Yue''er and I will go over to pay our respects.


    No matter what, the dead are big. Furthermore, Yue''er and I will have to inherit the great benefits that our senior left behind.


    So, Iron Arms Senior, please point the way. "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape led the way and brought the two of them to the small hill.


    On the south side of the small mountain, there was a square, pure white stone tablet with the words "Daoist Master Ziyang''s burial place" written in large characters. Each character was carved with a golden hook and metal, exuding a majestic aura.


    "What a strong aura!"


    Looking at the few big words, Lu Feng''s face changed, and praised.


    Pointing to the stone tablet, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape said, "Master, Brother Lu, this stone tablet was made while Spiritual Master Ziyang was still alive. The eight words on it were personally carved by Spiritual Master Ziyang himself."


    Lu Feng focused and nodded her head, then said to Xu Yeyue: "Yue''er, since we are going to inherit Senior Zi Yang''s teachings, we should go and kneel."


    Xu Yeyue also nodded, and said: "That''s how it should be!"


    Immediately, the two of them walked to the front of the stone tablet and knelt down on both knees. They respectfully kowtowed three times to the stone tablet.


    After that, Lu Feng brought Xu Yeyue and stood up, then said in a clear voice: "Senior Zi Yang, junior Lu Feng, and your companion Xu Yeyue have come here to inherit Senior''s teachings.


    Just as Lu Feng finished speaking, the white monument suddenly released a ray of light, slowly congealing into a human figure in front of the two.


    Xu Yeyue looked at this sudden turn of events in surprise. In her heart, she did not bother to think about it after hearing Lu Feng say that she was Lu Feng''s dao companion.


    The figure formed by the light gradually became solid as a benevolent looking old man appeared in front of the two of them.


    However, Lu Feng could tell with a single glance that this old man was clearly a remnant of a soul. Presumably, it was left behind by Spiritual Master Ziyang to provide guidance to those who came after him.


    "Little friends, this old man is Spiritual Master Ziyang. He is only a remnant of a soul. The real Dao Master Ziyang has already been dead for a thousand years."


    Since you''ve come by destiny and sincerely kowtowed to this old man''s burial ground, you have already qualified to inherit this old man''s teachings.


    Now, come with me! "


    With that, the old man turned around and walked to the back of the stone monument. It was unknown when, but a dark hole had appeared there.


    At this time, Iron-armed Devilish Ape had already transformed back into the appearance of a little monkey, squatting on Xu Yeyue''s shoulder, she looked at the old man in front of him with some shock, namely Spiritual Master Ziyang.


    With regards to the treasure left behind by Spiritual Master Ziyang, it was not that the Iron-armed Devilish Ape and the Double-headed Heaven Defying Python did not have any plans, but no matter how hard they searched, they could not find the entrance to the cave in the valley.


    When he just heard Spiritual Master Ziyang''s words, Iron-armed Devilish Ape finally understood why the mission that Spiritual Master Ziyang had left him was to test the talent and personality of the newcomers.


    So it turned out that people who were born with bad mental skills and were naturally arrogant were absolutely not allowed to kneel and kowtow to the Adept Ziyang who had died many years ago. And this was one of the traps which Adept Ziyang had left behind.


    Maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue got lucky and got lucky. In any case, the two of them had sincerely kowtowed to Spiritual Master Ziyang''s burial ground, and only then did they trigger the remnant soul that Spiritual Master Ziyang had left behind, to provide them with guidance.


    Two people and one Demonic Beast followed behind the remnant soul of Spiritual Master Ziyang and entered the pitch-black hole, entering the small mountain.


    There was another world within this small mountain.


    A vast plain filled with green grass appeared in front of Lu Feng.


    In the distance, there were orderly herb fields that were filled with countless strange flowers and spirit medicines.


    In the center of the plains was a simple and crude thatched cottage that was hidden between several green trees. In front of the house, there was also a small stream that meandered through.


    "Little friends, my body has already returned to the world, there''s no need for you two to take it seriously.


    This is a foreign space that I brought out of the secret realm. Everything I have learned in my life is in that hut, so you can go and receive it.


    However, before that, I want to hand over this alternate dimension to one of you. As for this candidate, you can decide for yourselves. "


    Spiritual Master Ziyang stopped at the end of the plain and turned to speak to Lu Feng.


    He had already passed on the path of death, leaving only this place with another space and the things he had learnt in the hut. Now, it was up to Lu Feng and Lu Feng to decide who was going to inherit this place.

 C137

    Lu Feng thought for a bit, she already had the number one treasure in the world, the Chaotic Clock, and there was a separate space inside. The Five Elements Spirit Root she had obtained from the Lu Family Treasury was planted inside, along with the Seven Colored Free and Unrestrained Lotus she had previously obtained and some other relatively precious spirit herbs.


    It could be said that with the Chaotic Clock as a treasure, Lu Feng no longer needed any other dimensions.


    On the other hand, he could use for reference the spirit medicines and cultivation techniques that Spiritual Master Ziyang had left behind.


    "Yue Er, I don''t have much interest in this alternate dimension. It''s better if you accept it."


    After thinking it through, Lu Feng said to Xu Yeyue indifferently.


    As for Xu Yeyue, even though she was extremely interested in this alternate dimension, she did not reveal the thumping excitement on her face when facing such a treasure. Instead, she shot a glance at Lu Feng with a gaze filled with friendship and said: "Lu Feng, it''s still better if you come and receive it.


    These words were said frankly, it did not seem like the pretentiousness of the other daughters at all. It clearly expressed her feelings for Lu Feng, and also displayed her temptation towards the new treasure, which was not fooled by her greed.


    Lu Feng couldn''t help but clench Xu Yeyue''s jade hand even more tightly when she felt Xu Yeyue''s sincerity.


    It was unknown when it had begun, but the two of them had already become entangled with each other.


    "Yue Er, this alternate dimension isn''t of much use to me. You should take it."


    Just as you said just now, yours is mine. "


    Lu Feng said to Xu Yeyue with sincerity.


    Seeing that Xu Yeyue was about to be modest once again, Lu Feng squeezed Xu Yeyue''s hand with a little more force, signalling her not to reject.


    How smart was Xu Yeyue?


    immediately felt Lu Feng''s little movements, and quickly understood Lu Feng''s intentions. It seemed that Lu Feng already had a close-fitting space to carry around, so she naturally would not go and eat more. It was just that Lu Feng seemed to have some sort of difficulties that were inconvenient to mention.


    "Very well. Senior, we have decided. I will inherit this alternate space."


    After understanding what Lu Feng meant, Xu Yeyue very straightforwardly said to Spiritual Master Ziyang.


    After giving the two of them a praising look, Spiritual Master Ziyang said, "Since that''s the case, you two go check out the hut first and distribute the things inside. When you''re finished, this old man will teach you the method to take back the alternate space.


    I will be waiting for you here before you come out.


    Tie Bi, wait here with this old man. "


    As he finished speaking, Spiritual Master Zi Yang suddenly said to Iron-armed Devilish Ape who was still seated on Xu Yeyue''s shoulder.


    So it turned out that as Spiritual Master Ziyang''s old dao, even though it was only a strand of residual soul, he had long seen through the true strength of the Iron-armed Devilish Ape. It was only because of this that he invited the Iron-armed Devilish Ape to stay behind and accompany him to wait for Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue to collect those things.


    "Thank you for your consent!"


    Lu Feng slightly bowed to Spiritual Master Ziyang, then pulled Xu Yeyue''s small hand and walked towards the hut in the middle of the plain.


    "Lu Feng, your copper bell should be of a high grade, right?"


    As Xu Yeyue thought about it, the only thing that was suspicious about Lu Feng was that small dark yellow copper bell that had a tattered appearance. This was why she couldn''t help but ask Lu Feng via sound transmission.


    After pinching Xu Yeyue''s small hands once more, Lu Feng did not say anything and continued walking toward the thatched cottage.


    Pushing open a half-opened door, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue entered the hut.


    Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Feng laughed involuntarily.


    It seems this Adept Ziyang does have a bit of a bad taste after all.


    This dilapidated thatched cottage actually had a different world inside. It could be said to be luxurious.


    The two of them were at the entrance of a large hall. The hall was over 100 feet tall and had a majestic atmosphere. It was around 10,000 square meters.


    Directly across the hall, on top of a high platform, was a tall chair. Sitting on it, one could overlook the entire hall''s scenery.


    From the dais where the seats were located to the entrance of the hall, there were two rows on the left and right, each holding up a coiling dragon column.


    On both sides of the hall, several corner doors could be seen, which obviously led to other rooms.


    The furnishings in the hall were all of the highest quality, displaying the wealth and grandeur of their masters.


    With regards to these things, Lu Feng only glanced at them once, and then pulled Xu Yeyue along as she walked towards the stage.


    When they arrived at the stage, Lu Feng''s and Xu Yeyue''s eyes were immediately attracted by the table in front of the throne.


    It was an ordinary-looking table with three items on it: a fist-sized cauldron, a jade scroll, and a even sheathed Longsword.


    "Yue''er, it seems this is the true inheritance of Senior Ziyang."


    Lu Feng said sorrowfully to Xu Yeyue as she looked at the three items.


    "Lu Feng, let''s pack up and go back. It will save Senior Zi Yang a lot of time to wait."


    Xu Yeyue said.


    "That''s fine too. After we go out and see who can use those things, then I''ll let who use them." Lu Feng said.


    "Yes, I think so too.


    "You should keep your things, we''ll talk after we get out."


    Xu Yeyue let go of Lu Feng''s pain and pushed him forward to collect the items.


    As for Xu Yeyue who would occasionally reveal a cute and innocent side of her, Lu Feng realized that she liked her more and more.


    Scratching Xu Yeyue''s nose affectionately, Lu Feng waved his hand and put all three items into the Trinity Cauldron. She turned around and grabbed Xu Yeyue''s little hand, and said: "Alright, Yue''er, let''s go!"


    After she finished speaking, Lu Feng extended her body and flew to the entrance of the hall with Xu Yeyue. She pushed open the door in front of him and walked out without hesitation.


    Arriving at the edge of the plains, Lu Feng released Xu Yeyue''s hands and cupped her fists towards Spiritual Master Ziyang, saying, "Senior, we have already finished collecting those items. Thank you for your generous bestowment!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Spiritual Master Ziyang laughed loudly and said, "My two little friends are people with deep blessings. In the future, you will definitely be able to accomplish something big.


    I also believe that the items I left behind will not be cast in the dark.


    "Come, little girl, come over here and listen to me. This old man will teach you how to take this space."


    With that, Spiritual Master Ziyang waved to Xu Yeyue, gesturing for him to go forward.


    When Xu Yeyue was near enough, Spiritual Master Ziyang pointed with his finger and hit right between Xu Yeyue''s eyebrows.


    Obviously, Spiritual Master Ziyang was enlightened as he taught Xu Yeyue how to retrieve alternate dimensions.


    In a flash, Spiritual Master Ziyang retracted his finger and laughed, "My two little friends, that hut is also a masterpiece of mine that I am proud of. You can take it back and use it as a temporary residence for exploration.


    Alright, this old man''s mission has been completed, let''s part ways here. "


    Saying up to here, Spiritual Master Ziyang''s figure slowly became fainter and fainter, gradually disappearing before the two of them.

 C138

    Looking at the remnant soul of Spiritual Master Ziyang dissipating into Heaven and Earth, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue both had a kind of lament.


    Especially Lu Feng, due to the disappearance of her death in her previous life, he had the deepest impression.


    A thousand words. It was still the same: "If you can''t be saintly, then everything is empty."


    "Yue Er, Senior Zi Yang has already left. Let''s go out first!"


    Seeing Xu Yeyue''s sad look, Lu Feng comforted her so much that she held her thin shoulder tightly and let go of her shoulders, as she consoled her.


    Xu Yeyue''s large eyes were shrouded by a layer of mist, giving her a tragic and beautiful feeling.


    "Lu Feng, since the heavens are so, are we unable to escape our fate of dissipating in the end as well?"


    Xu Yeyue stared at Lu Feng and suddenly asked.


    Lu Feng hurriedly said: "Yue''er, don''t think like that. We are still young right now, and our future path is still very long.


    You have to believe in yourself.


    Remember, our cultivation is to fight with others, fight with the heavens, and finally achieve the goal of changing fate.


    Moreover, I will always be by your side! "


    "Lu Feng!"


    With a shout, Xu Yeyue jumped into Lu Feng''s embrace, and forcefully hugged onto Lu Feng''s neck, burying her entire body in Lu Feng''s embrace.


    When Iron-armed Devilish Ape saw this situation, he quietly exited this alternate space, leaving this place to this young couple.


    After a long while, Xu Yeyue who had finished venting her emotions finally revealed her head in Lu Feng''s arms. She looked at Lu Feng''s gentle eyes, and looked a little cute.


    "Alright, let''s go!"


    Seeing Xu Yeyue replying, Lu Feng suddenly felt a little awkward. Her love life seemed to be quite rich.


    Therefore, in order to avoid such awkwardness, Lu Feng hurriedly suggested to talk about it outside.


    Unexpectedly, Xu Yeyue did not care about Lu Feng''s words at all, and stayed in Lu Feng''s embrace for a while, before suddenly releasing Lu Feng and taking a step back.


    Lu Feng looked closer and saw that Xu Yeyue had two jade hands behind her back, causing the pride on her chest to grow even taller. She stood there looking at Lu Feng with a smile.


    Looking at the beautiful woman dressed in men''s clothes, even though Lu Feng had thousands of years of memories of an old monster, she felt her heart palpitate.


    "Yue Er, you are so beautiful!"


    Lu Feng couldn''t help but exclaim.


    Xu Yeyue suddenly said: "Lu Feng, I have remembered everything you said today.


    In the future, if you dare to be inferior to me, I will die in front of you! "


    Looking at the smiling Xu Yeyue who said such decisive words, Lu Feng scratched her head.


    "Yue Er, there''s something I need to tell you."


    After pondering for a long time, Lu Feng finally decided to tell Lu Weirui about his relationship with him as well as his entanglements with him. This way, he would no longer have to bear the psychological pressure.


    Unexpectedly, the moment Lu Feng opened her mouth, Xu Yeyue immediately said, "Lu Feng, I know what you want to say. Isn''t it just the little servant girl and your little sister Jiang Xin who are by your side?


    To tell you the truth, I don''t care.


    All I want is for you to focus all your heart and mind when facing me. The rest of the time will be up to you. "


    Lu Feng was startled, Xu Yeyue''s thoughts were truly different from others, this was simply opening the door for him.


    Of course, Lu Feng wasn''t that kind of young master Hua Hua, either.


    On the contrary, Lu Feng was actually a little depressed. In terms of relationship, she almost never took the initiative to attack, and always had the thought of reaching the canal by himself.


    For example, regarding Jiang Xin''s departure, Lu Feng had told Lu Weirui before: When fate has come, the two of them would naturally walk together. If they did not come, then there would be no need to mention anymore.


    And most of the time, Xu Yeyue was the one who took the initiative to approach him.


    If that was the case, then it was not because Xu Yeyue did not know her place, but it was a clear indication of her unwillingness to take the initiative to act in such a manner.


    "Alright, don''t think too much into it. Let''s hurry up and leave, I believe the Iron Arms Senior must be getting impatient."


    After saying that, Xu Yeyue turned around. With both hands behind her back, she happily walked towards the exit like a proud white swan.


    Looking at Xu Yeyue''s arrogant figure with a little helplessness and amusement, Lu Feng began to walk outside.


    When they arrived outside the alternate dimension and gathered the Iron-armed Devilish Ape that came out first, Lu Feng said: "Yue''er, you should hurry up and put away this alternate dimension and we will proceed to the next step.


    Oh right, Iron Arms Senior, where is the entrance to that underground palace? "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape spread his hands out like a human, and said: "Brother Lu, you''re making things difficult for me, Old Tie.


    On that day, I only heard from Dao Master Ziyang that there is an underground palace here. He didn''t have enough time to explore it and would set up his own burial ground at the entrance of the underground palace, waiting for fate!


    Now that we''ve found this place, Sage Ziyang''s remnant soul didn''t explain anything just now.


    So, I really don''t know! "


    As the two of them spoke, Xu Yeyue had already formed hand seals, and started collecting the different spaces.


    With a rumbling sound, the hill behind the stone monument started to shrink rapidly. A lot of dirt and rocks flew out, turning the whole place into a cloud of smoke.


    After a while, Xu Yeyue released the last technique. With one hand, she swept the smoke and dust away.


    When Xu Yeyue retracted her hand, a green round ball appeared in his palm, and it was about an inch in size. In Xu Yeyue''s jade white palm, it was extremely beautiful.


    "Yue Er, is this the host body for the alternate dimension?"


    Lu Feng asked curiously.


    Xu Yeyue nodded her head, and said: "That''s right, Senior Zi Yang had said before that this thing was called a Wood Spirit Pearl, it was formed from a place where the wood elements of heaven and earth converged after millions of years of accumulation.


    It was a self-contained space, and could even transplant flowers, plants, and trees inside.


    However, there is no living being in it other than the owner. "


    This time, Lu Feng felt that it was a little strange, she still had the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, and had obviously entered inside. Furthermore, at that time, Xu Yeyue was not the owner of the Wood Spirit Pearl, but she had entered as well.


    Perhaps because she had seen through Lu Feng''s doubt, Xu Yeyue explained: "Lu Feng, one of the reasons why we were able to enter inside was because this Wood Spirit Pearl was ownerless at the time; the other reason was because Senior Zi Yang''s residual soul used his Spiritual Sense to wrap us inside it.


    Do you understand now? "


    As she spoke, Xu Yeyue forced a drop of her blood essence onto the Wood Spirit Pearl.


    With a flash of emerald green light, the Wood Spirit Pearl disappeared.


    Xu Yeyue continued to explain: "Just now, I used a secret technique to collect this Wood Spirit Pearl, and then used a method of binding it by blood, and completely became the owner of the Wood Spirit Pearl.


    Now, the Wood Spirit Pearl has entered my sea of consciousness and has become my own personal space. "


    Lu Feng nodded suddenly.

 C139

    Immediately after, Xu Yeyue''s small hand suddenly grabbed towards Lu Feng, and when she opened it again, in her palm was a small and exquisite white jade palace.


    Seeing the shocked look in Lu Feng''s and Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s eyes, Xu Yeyue threw the palace into the open space in front of them and casually formed a few hand signs.


    The originally small and exquisite white jade palace was suddenly enlarged in the air, accompanied by a bright flash of light.


    After they landed on the ground, the light dimmed, and the hut where the two of them had seen the Wood Spirit Pearl previously, suddenly appeared.


    "Yue Er, this is?"


    Lu Feng was surprised again.


    Xu Yeyue smiled sweetly and said: "Lu Feng, this is the hut we saw earlier.


    It is called the Exquisite Hundred Transformations Room, and was a treasure that Senior Ziyang created specifically for the convenience of going out. It can change its appearance at will. "


    Saying that, Xu Yeyue once again chanted a technique, releasing a ray of light from the hut, which surrounded the hut.


    By the time the brilliance dissipated, the original hut had transformed into three large brick houses.


    Xu Yeyue continued: "The level of this Hundred Transformations Room is Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact, only, other than being convenient to stay in, it does not have any other special uses, nor can it be used as a defensive or offensive treasure."


    Lu Feng suddenly asked: "Yue''er, I have read books on refining in the continent before. Weren''t the refining in the continent done with weapons or armor, with some Devilish Beast materials embedded?


    Why would such an exquisite magical equipment appear now? "


    Xu Yeyue laughed: "Senior Zi Yang had just told me that the refining methods passed down in the continent are actually relatively primitive and backward. The true high level methods are all spread within the secret realms.


    Even some of the more famous masterwork weapons on the continent had long since been spread out from the secret realm.


    Maybe you don''t know, but that kind of method used to embed Devilish Beast s, the most you can do is to forge a Heaven Stage Artifact, it is very difficult for a spirit artifact to appear.


    This is also the reason why there are so few Spirit Treasures on the continent. "


    With Xu Yeyue''s explanation, Lu Feng roughly understood the situation.


    "Oh right, Yue Er, these are the three items that you took out from the Exquisite Hundred Transformations'' room. I don''t need this Longsword, you should keep it first.


    I''ll check this jade slip first and give it to you later.


    As for this cauldron, it''s still yours. "


    Lu Feng took out the three things that she had collected just now. Other than the jade strips that were used to store information, the remaining two were all handed over to Xu Yeyue.


    Towards Lu Feng''s generous personality, Xu Yeyue was still very happy. From her point of view, this was one of the expressions of concern that Lu Feng had for her. As a result, Xu Yeyue happily received the Longsword and the fist-sized cauldron.


    After Lu Feng put away the jade slip, she started to pay attention to the smoke and dust that still filled her eyes.


    Letting out her Spiritual Sense, Lu Feng carefully searched through the smoke and dust area, trying to find any clues.


    Very quickly, Lu Feng found the problem.


    At the center of the originally small mountain, within a radius of about three meters, Lu Feng''s Spiritual Sense encountered an inexplicable obstruction, as if it had encountered a barrier. The Spiritual Sense slid towards both sides.


    "Formation!"


    Lu Feng gasped.


    "Lu Feng, what formation is this?"


    Xu Yeyue was currently immersed in happiness and joy, and did not investigate the place which was shrouded in smoke.


    Hearing Lu Feng''s low exclamation, Xu Yeyue finally raised her head and asked.


    When Lu Feng looked at Xu Yeyue''s appearance, she knew that the little girl had not put her heart on finding the entrance to the underground palace.


    "Yue''er, in front of us is the small hill that was originally formed by the Wood Spirit Pearl. There is an area of about three meters. My Spiritual Sense is unable to detect it, there should be an array formation over there."


    Lu Feng pointed at the smoke and dust, explaining in detail to Xu Yeyue.


    Hearing that, Xu Yeyue''s interest was immediately piqued.


    "Looks like there should be a concealment array at that place that can avoid the Spiritual Sense''s detection.


    Lu Feng, wait a moment, I will disperse the smoke. "


    Xu Yeyue said as she controlled the True Yuan to form a big hand and swept towards the smoke and dust region.


    Xu Yeyue''s True Yuan waved her hand, bringing a strong gust of wind, sweeping away the smoke and dust and flew up into the sky.


    In an instant, the area that had originally been filled with smoke had been swept clean. Even the rocks and trees that had fallen down from the small mountain had been swept clean by Xu Yeyue''s palm.


    "You really want to cause such a ruckus!"


    Lu Feng looked at Xu Yeyue lovingly, shook her head, and walked towards the center.


    Xu Yeyue stuck out her cute little tongue, made a face, and followed behind Lu Feng, walking forward.


    Just as expected, just now, the place where Lu Feng''s Spiritual Sense were blocked at was a concealment array, it was just a simple array.


    Xu Yeyue walked up and waved her hand. A True Yuan was released and the formation was broken.


    But, strangely, it was just a flat area with nothing out of the ordinary about it.


    "Ya, why is there nothing?"


    Xu Yeyue exclaimed.


    Lu Feng reached out and pulled Xu Yeyue, mobilised her Spiritual Sense, and began to carefully inspect the area within a few meters around him.


    Very quickly, Lu Feng found some clues about it tens of meters below the ground.


    There was a green black stone tablet there, which covered the things below. On the stone tablet, there was once again a Concealment Formation, if not for Lu Feng''s powerful Spiritual Sense, they would not have been able to discover it.


    "Yue Er, about 150 meters below you, there is a bluestone slab. That should be the entrance to the underground palace.


    Now it seems that the concealment array was actually used to guide us. "


    After Lu Feng said these words to Xu Yeyue with regret, she pulled Xu Yeyue and retreated backwards.


    After retreating to the rough range of the stone slab, Lu Feng took out her own Crimson Nimbus Sword, and released a ray of sword light, drawing a circle around the area.


    After taking back the Crimson Nimbus Sword, Lu Feng took out her True Yuan hands and covered the ground. She shouted: "Rise!"


    In the silence, Lu Feng had already lifted up the huge circular earth stone, revealing the stone floor below and the Spell Formation above.


    "It should be here!"


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue floated down to the bottom of the pit, and as they stood at the edge of the stone floor, they started to study the Spell Formation above.


    Xu Yeyue was also a master of array formations. Towards the Spell Formation on the stone slab, she quickly recognized it and started to break it.


    After approximately half an incense worth of time, following Xu Yeyue''s chant, all the Spell Formation s on the stone floor were broken, while the originally smooth and even stone floor suddenly split apart from the middle, and slid down to both sides without a sound, revealing a pitch black hole below.


    The entrance to the underground palace formally appeared in front of Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue.

 C140

    Seeing the pitch-black entrance, Lu Feng ordered the Spiritual Sense to extend downwards. She wanted to first investigate the specific situation inside, but discovered that there seemed to be a layer of obstruction, making it impossible for the Spiritual Sense to enter.


    "Yue''er, it seems that the exploration of the cave is prohibited for Spiritual Sense. Looks like you need to personally enter to see what''s inside.


    How about this, you wait with Iron Arms Senior for a while, I''ll go in to take a look, and when there''s no more danger, you guys can come down.


    Since Lu Feng had said this, it was for Xu Yeyue''s safety''s sake from the bottom of her heart. She did not want her to take the risk so easily.


    Xu Yeyue grabbed Lu Feng''s arm, and firmly shook her head, she did not say a word, but his meaning was clear, whether she was dead or alive, they would face it together.


    Seeing Xu Yeyue''s stubborn but firm expression, as well as the deep love within, Lu Feng''s heart softened, "Alright, Yue''er, let''s attack and retreat together!"


    With that, Lu Feng grabbed Xu Yeyue and jumped into the pitch black hole.


    and Xu Yeyue felt as if their bodies had passed through a thin layer of film as they quickly descended.


    Feeling the whistling wind, Lu Feng pointed out, "Illumination technique!"


    A ball of light appeared at Lu Feng''s feet. Maintaining the same speed as Lu Feng and the others, it quickly fell.


    Under the light ball''s illumination, Lu Feng and the others spent about half an incense''s time to vaguely see the bottom of the hole.


    Lu Feng''s arms tightened around Xu Yeyue''s shoulders as she gathered the True Yuan. Slowly, she started descending at a lower speed.


    When Lu Feng landed on the ground again, the ball formed by the Illumination Technique had already landed on Lu Feng''s shoulder, illuminating the bottom of the hole.


    Releasing her arms around Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng looked around.


    Based on the speed at which they were traveling and the time of their descent, Lu Feng roughly estimated that they were several tens of kilometers deep underground.


    This was an enormous space. Under the illumination from the illumination spell, the two of them were unable to discover the existence of the ceiling, and could only vaguely see a few hundred feet away.


    Lu Feng tried to move the Spiritual Sense and discovered that although the Spiritual Sense could still extend outwards, it was a lot more strenuous than before. Its distance was also only three hundred meters, which was far from what it could normally be compared to.


    "Aiya! I forgot to ask Iron Arms Senior to come down with me. "


    Xu Yeyue suddenly exclaimed.


    "Master, you''re only thinking of me now, Old Tie. I''m really sad!"


    A voice filled with hidden bitterness came from behind the two of them.


    "Ah, Iron Arms Senior, you came down with me?"


    Xu Yeyue turned around, and looked at Iron-armed Devilish Ape with a bit of pleasant surprise. Because she had been careless just now, she was also a bit embarrassed as she reached out her hand to cover her small mouth.


    Looking at Xu Yeyue''s cute appearance, Iron-armed Devilish Ape shook his head speechlessly, and said: "Master, since I, Old Tie, have followed you, then naturally I will follow you wherever you go. How can I watch you enter this unforeseen and auspicious place, while I myself am up there waiting to watch the show?"


    That''s right, Master, that Wood Spirit Pearl of yours can hold living things right?


    Why don''t you put me in there for now and call me out when you''re in danger, and help you face the enemy.


    Master, what do you think? "


    Xu Yeyue thought that this was true. After all, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was his magic pet and not restricted by the Wood Spirit Pearl.


    As for Iron-armed Devilish Ape, the two of them were young, so when they saw it as a light bulb, they couldn''t help but feel annoyed themselves. That was why they suggested to avoid it.


    At that moment, Xu Yeyue used her own Spiritual Sense s to wrap around Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s entire body, and sent him into the space within the Wood Spirit Pearl, telling him to take care of the spirit medicines and the various fruit trees if she had nothing better to do.


    With regards to Xu Yeyue''s orders, Iron-armed Devilish Ape was still very willing to accept them. Of course, as a monkey, it was hard to avoid sneaking a bite to eat something good.


    After settling down the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, Lu Feng took out the Crimson Nimbus Sword. Xu Yeyue then carried her two Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact s and continued to walk forward.


    Due to the Spiritual Sense being suppressed, the two of them did not dare to move too quickly. No one knew how much danger was hidden in such a large space.


    It was almost the time for a cup of tea. As the light from the illumination technique reached the end of the tunnel, they could vaguely see a tall black figure standing there.


    Both of them were secretly delighted. They could not help but quicken their steps and quickly walked forward.


    As the distance between them shortened, a nine-level pagoda gradually appeared before them.


    Arriving in front of the pagoda and standing above the door, the two black words "General''s Tomb" appeared before them.


    "Lu Feng, this seems to be a general''s burial ground!"


    Seeing those three words, Xu Yeyue couldn''t help but ask Lu Feng in a low voice.


    Lu Feng nodded and turned her gaze to the stone monument beside the tower''s door.


    Xu Yeyue looked at the stone tablet and saw that it was filled with the heads of small birds.


    Before arriving at the stone tablet, Xu Yeyue earnestly looked at the contents recorded on it.


    A moment later, Xu Yeyue turned around and said to Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, this is indeed the burial ground of an ancient general.


    According to the records on the stone tablet, this general was named Sikong Caizhi, and was approximately a Supreme Elder from three thousand years ago.


    That day, General Sikong led a team to fight off the invasion of a neighbouring nation, which was also known as Vermillion Bird Empire. However, he was ambushed by the enemy.


    At that time, General Sikong was severely injured. He knew that he would be here soon, so he took out his treasure, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, and turned it into the nine-floor pagoda in front of him.


    After his death, his subordinates had never left him. They had always been there to protect him, and it was also them who moved this pagoda to the depths of the earth.


    In the end, after his subordinates finished arranging this place, they used a secret technique to turn themselves into something similar to zombies. They were spread out within the tower, protecting General Sikong''s Heroic Spirit.


    Lu Feng, do we need to explore such a tomb? "


    With regards to the General Sikong Caizhi that Xu Yeyue mentioned, when Lu Feng had previously flipped through a large amount of historical books in the library, she had indeed seen him. She said that he led her troops to meet the Vermillion Bird Empire armies, and in the end, they were defeated in battle, and even their armies were completely annihilated.


    "Yue Er, what do you mean?"


    Hearing Xu Yeyue''s question, Lu Feng directly handed the decision over to her.


    One had to know that Xu Yeyue was the daughter of the current Master of Heavenly Star City, she could be considered an official army of the empire.

 C141

    Hearing Xu Yeyue''s words, it seemed like she wanted to give up her exploration of the tower, towards this point, Lu Feng did not care, the treasures that could possibly exist inside were not of much use to him, and the cultivation techniques were useless.


    As a result, Lu Feng straightforwardly handed the decision over to Xu Yeyue. As long as Xu Yeyue was happy, giving up an ancient tomb was not impossible.


    After Lu Feng saw the map of the underground palace, she had ran into the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range with great interest. That was only because he wanted to use this sort of trial like operation to find the opportunity to breakthrough.


    Now that Xu Yeyue had the intention to give up, Lu Feng would not feel such a pity.


    However, what surprised Lu Feng was that Xu Yeyue said: "Lu Feng, as far as I know, this General Sikong Caizhi was once a rather brutal general. He killed countless people in his life, not only did he kill valiant enemies, he even killed his own people.


    He had once been a master of the Heavenly Star City, and on his appointment, nearly half of all the ordinary cultivators within the boundaries of the Heavenly Star City had been killed by him.


    Moreover, because of Sikong Caizhi''s brutality, it was said that the various wealth that he had plundered could form several small mountains.


    Just like what was said on the stone tablet, his subordinates never left him. After his death, they willingly turned into zombies to protect him.


    I have a deep suspicion of this.


    In my opinion, Sikong Caizhi has a few trusted aides, that''s for sure.


    However, I don''t believe that his subordinates would be grateful to Sikong Caizhi after returning to their own hearts.


    It could be said that Sikong Caizhi and his trusted aides used some kind of method to control the surviving soldiers and turned them into zombies. They were protecting his coffin, so it was somewhat believable.


    Therefore, I have decided to enter this Exquisite Tower to see what exactly Sikong Caizhi is doing. "


    Looking at the craftiness in Xu Yeyue''s eyes, Lu Feng finally understood that after messing around for half a day, this little girl had tricked him, wanting to test her position in her heart.


    "Alright, let''s enter the tower!"


    Lu Feng said happily.


    Seeing that Lu Feng listened to everything she said, Xu Yeyue immediately grabbed onto Lu Feng''s arm and said with a smile: "Lu Feng, since we can''t run away with this tower, how about we first rest for a while, when we are fully recovered, then enter the tower to explore, what do you think?"


    Lu Feng smiled and said: "Alright, I''ll listen to you."


    Xu Yeyue released Lu Feng''s arm and took out the Exquisite Hundred Transformations Room that she had just recognized as her master. It seemed that she wanted to rest inside again.


    Following a flash of light, a small and exquisite house appeared in front of Lu Feng.


    Xu Yeyue smiled and said: "Please, Young Master Lu!"


    Lu Feng said in all seriousness: "I am Xing Er, please address me as Second Young Master Lu!"


    "You even kicked your nose in the face?


    "Let''s go, my second young master Lu!"


    Xu Yeyue protested coquettishly as she grabbed Lu Feng''s arm and walked towards the small hut.


    After entering the Linglong Hundred Transformations Room, Lu Feng did not enter the same house as Xu Yeyue. He actually wanted to, but unfortunately, the lady did not agree and did not give him the chance.


    After recuperating for a while, Lu Feng completely filled up his True Yuan and recovered to its peak condition.


    As for Xu Yeyue, she seized the opportunity to refine the Longsword sacrifice that Spiritual Master Ziyang had left behind into her own treasure. She astonishingly discovered that the Longsword named Violet Lightning was actually a rare half immortal artifact, and its grade was even higher than the jade blade and long whip in her hands.


    Feeling that it was about time, Lu Feng knocked on Xu Yeyue''s door as the two of them walked out of the Exquisite Hundred Transformations Room.


    Xu Yeyue waved her hand and retracted the small house, and together with Lu Feng, they arrived at the entrance of the tower.


    Lu Feng took a step forward, reached out, pushed open the heavy tower door, and followed Xu Yeyue into the tower.


    "Clang!"


    The door to the tower automatically shut after the two people entered. It emitted a loud sound.


    Inside the tower, it was dark. There was a rustling sound not far away, followed by heavy footsteps.


    "Illumination technique!"


    Lu Feng raised her hand and released the small ball, then looked in front of him.


    The first floor of this tower, with the tower''s door as the center, radiated outwards and left, forming ring after ring of areas. Between the two adjacent circles, there was a narrow but seemingly bottomless ravine, separating the two sides.


    Lu Feng counted carefully. There were exactly nine loops and nine gaps, and at the end of the outermost level, she could vaguely see a door to the tower. It should be the entrance to the next level.


    As for the countless zombies, they were dressed in all sorts of clothes, and they were wandering aimlessly.


    When she looked down again, Lu Feng shockingly discovered that the two of them were actually at the center of the first floor.


    "This Exquisite Tower is quite interesting."


    When the Spiritual Sense sensed the strength of the zombies, Lu Feng realized that they were only at the peak of the Pre-Sky Realm. To them, it was pretty easy, so she just smiled and said this to Xu Yeyue.


    "Lu Feng, have you noticed that the clothes worn by the zombies are not the uniform of the army, but the clothes of ordinary civilians?


    Looks like these should be the people who were viciously harmed by Sikong Caizhi back then. They were turned into zombies by the vicious Sikong Caizhi, and used to protect his coffin.


    Lu Feng, let''s kill these zombies and let them die as soon as possible. "


    Xu Yeyue looked at the zombies, and said while gnashing her teeth.


    "Hm, let''s go and kill the zombies."


    However, Yue''er, these zombies are extremely powerful, and they also have corpse poison on them, so you have to be careful of your own safety. "


    Of course, Lu Feng would not oppose Xu Yeyue''s suggestion, but she still warned him in a concerned tone.


    "Calm down, Second Young Master Lu. My strength is two levels higher than yours!"


    "Let''s go!"


    Xu Yeyue took out her own jade blade and whip, and immediately walked towards the gap, Lu Feng quickly followed.


    As Xu Yeyue and Lu Feng walked out of the area of the pagoda gate, the nine circles of light on the first floor lit up with countless dark green light pillars. The light shone on the zombies that came and went at the edges of the rings, giving them a rather terrifying atmosphere.


    "Lu Feng, stand aside and watch, see who kills faster!"


    Xu Yeyue raised his own long whip, and said provocatively as she cracked it.


    "As you wish!


    "Great Heaven Shrouding Palm!"


    Lu Feng laughed out loud, and then released a Heaven Shrouding Palm, knocking all the zombies that were gathering over, down to the ground. When the hand seals disappeared, they were already corpses.


    "Lu Feng, you cheated!


    The shadows of the whip were everywhere!


    "Chaotic Blade Slash!"


    Xu Yeyue let out a tender cry, but released two consecutive martial skills, beginning to strangle the approaching zombies.

 C142

    Although Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue used their ultimate moves, the lower levelled zombies still rushed forward fearlessly, staggering to their feet and moving forward.


    Not long after, all the zombies on the first ring had gathered in front of the two of them.


    Lu Feng''s Crimson Nimbus Sword had already been used, and continued to kill those zombies. As for the grand Heaven Shrouding Palm, it continued to slap down, and continued to kill those zombies.


    On Xu Yeyue''s side, there were long whips and jade sabers, constantly slashing and slashing. Even the half immortal Longsword Purple Lightning Sword that just recognized Xu Yeyue as its master was summoned by Xu Yeyue, like a purple dragon, swimming in the sky. Every time it swooped down, it would take countless of zombies'' lives.


    Glancing at the purple lightning sword that looked like a swimming dragon, Lu Feng praised. This sword, was indeed worthy of the name purple lightning.


    It took more than an incense''s time for Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue to finish off all the zombies at the first circle.


    Afterwards, Lu Feng took out twelve Formation Flag s and inserted them into the pile of zombies, allowing the Formation Flag to absorb the fiendish aura and the essence of the flesh and blood respectively. Then, she followed Xu Yeyue to the opposite gap.


    Following the arrival of the two, the zombies in the second ring also started to gather at the gap.


    Compared to the first ring, the strength of the zombies in the second ring didn''t change much. They were still at the peak of Houtian realm, just that there were a lot more zombies than the first ring.


    Seeing the swarm of zombies, Lu Feng slightly frowned. This Sikong Caizhi was really a bloodthirsty person, from the looks of the many corpses he collected, he was definitely not a good person.


    However, what made Lu Feng suspicious was that the Exquisite Tower was indeed mystical enough. Not only could it trap all of the zombies here, it could also trap them in accordance to their respective areas through the various circles.


    From the looks of it, these zombies wouldn''t take the initiative to enter the first ring.


    Following the arrival of a large group of zombies, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue once again entered a state of berserk killing intent. As for Lu Feng, she had also verified her thoughts.


    However, if the two of them retreated to the gap, the zombies would immediately quieten down and not take even a step closer to the gap.


    After understanding all of this, Lu Feng no longer hesitated. She carried Xu Yeyue and continued to take charge of each person''s direction, unceasingly killing the zombies in front of them.


    Very quickly, the zombies in the second ring were also killed by them.


    Lu Feng glanced at them and then took out the twelve Formation Flag s that had finished absorbing the ferocious aura and flesh essence from the first ring of zombies. She then casually inserted them into the pile of zombies and followed Xu Yeyue towards the gap on the other side.


    Just like this, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue arrived at a gap in the array and started killing the zombies in it. Lu Feng only stopped to rest after she had killed all the zombies in the ring.


    Lu Feng would also place the twelve Formation Flag into the pile of zombies and absorb the fiendish aura and flesh essence after each ring.


    After continuously killing nine rings, Lu Feng threw down the Formation Flag and said to Xu Yeyue: "Yue''er, rest for a while. After the Formation Flag has finished absorbing the fiendish aura, let''s go look around.


    If my guess is correct, there should be a subordinate of Sikong Caizhi''s. It''s just that I don''t know where he''s hiding. "


    After circling around the first floor for nine and a half times, Lu Feng wanted to check the doors to the next floor a few times.


    But Lu Feng also knew that it was impossible to kill a bunch of zombies of the same strength in a place like this barrier. At the end of each floor, there would inevitably be a guy with relatively high strength who could be considered a general.


    Xu Yeyue had killed zombies for such a long time. Although the True Yuan did not consume much energy, facing these ugly zombies and the terrible stench from the zombies made her, a girl who loved beauty, mentally feel rather tired.


    Thus, Lu Feng''s suggestion was naturally exchanged for Xu Yeyue''s warm response.


    After releasing a stream of clear water technique, Lu Feng washed the blood off the ground and sat down cross legged.


    When Xu Yeyue saw this, she slyly smiled and directly went in front of Lu Feng, smiling as she said to him: "Lu Feng, this ground is really dirty, can you help me out with something?"


    Lu Feng looked at Xu Yeyue with some curiosity. She didn''t know which of her tendons was wrong, or if she had come up with some trick to tease him.


    "Miss Xu has given her orders, how could I dare disobey?"


    Lu Feng laughed and said as she dropped her schoolbag. She looked at Xu Yeyue, wanting to understand what her intentions were.


    "That''s what you said!"


    Xu Yeyue gave a brilliant smile, bent over, and sat on Lu Feng''s leg.


    Xu Yeyue''s sudden attack had really scared her out of her wits, and she looked at Xu Yeyue''s delicate face in a bit of a daze.


    "Aiya, this isn''t comfortable!"


    Xu Yeyue did not care about the look in Lu Feng''s eyes, and started to look for the most comfortable place.


    In the end, Xu Yeyue leaned forward, half lying and half sitting in Lu Feng''s embrace, her two jade hands still resting on Lu Feng''s neck, perfectly showing her charming face in front of Lu Feng.


    At this moment, as long as Lu Feng wanted to, she could definitely hold onto those two tender lips of Xu Yeyue with a single look.


    However, Lu Feng, who had never experienced such a battle array, did not have any thoughts in this regard. She only calmly hugged Xu Yeyue''s body, and did not make any other movements.


    Blinking her large eyes, Xu Yeyue looked at Lu Feng with an alluring gaze, as if waiting for her next move.


    After a long while, Xu Yeyue said dejectedly, "Lu Feng, could it be that I''m not good-looking enough?"


    Lu Feng said in all seriousness, "Yue''er, among all the women I have seen in the Tian Yuan Continent, you are the most beautiful.


    Yeyue in the air, is no different! "


    "He doesn''t want to throw himself into my arms, why aren''t you expressing anything?"


    Xu Yeyue said somewhat gloomily.


    Only the heavens knew why Miss Xu would feel this depressed.


    Originally, Xu Yeyue had wanted to use this method to play with Lu Feng. First, she wanted to give it a hug, and then, when Lu Feng wanted to take action, she would directly refuse.


    In Xu Yeyue''s opinion, such a small matter was quite interesting.


    Unfortunately, Lu Feng was like a piece of real wood, with no intention of moving on to the next one.


    For some reason, when Lu Feng did not make a move, Xu Yeyue became gloomy.


    Maybe, when she first had this idea, Miss Xu wanted to reject him but instead welcomed him?

 C143

    Hearing Xu Yeyue''s question, Lu Feng said: "Yue''er, I feel that hugging you like this is already a kind of great happiness; I really can''t help but feel that I''m being too profane towards you."


    Looking at the warm face of Lu Feng, Xu Yeyue was slightly angered. If she could not bring herself to profane and profane her heart, then wouldn''t she just say that her seduction skills were lacking and that she had no charisma?


    The Miss Xu wanted to be friends with Lu Feng, if Lu Feng had this kind of respectful attitude, then it would not be fun.


    Hmph, well said, let me try you again!


    Xu Yeyue suddenly had a new idea.


    The jade hand that was wrapped around Lu Feng''s neck suddenly exerted force, pulling Lu Feng''s head down. However, Xu Yeyue took the opportunity to lift her head up, and took the initiative to kiss Lu Feng''s lips.


    At that moment, Lu Feng felt a kind of lack of oxygen in her brain. That soft, cool touch made Lu Feng very intoxicated.


    Slowly, Lu Feng found his own way. Her two large hands climbed onto Xu Yeyue''s back and tightly embraced Xu Yeyue''s body. Her tongue also uncontrollably slipped through the gap between Xu Yeyue''s lips and into a warm place.


    Sucking in the sweet and fragrance from it, Lu Feng became intoxicated.


    And Xu Yeyue''s performance was even worse.


    Originally, he wanted to tease Lu Feng a little bit, but now, he was completely immersed in it. His previous thought of refusing had long since run off to who knows where.


    After a long time, their lips parted.


    Xu Yeyue''s face was flushed red. She looked at Lu Feng with a blurry gaze and muttered: "Is this the feeling of kissing? Not bad at all!


    Lu Feng, I want more! "


    Xu Yeyue pouted and said to Lu Feng.


    This time, Lu Feng was not slow. Since there was a need for beauties, then she would naturally give her light and heat right away.


    Lu Feng lowered her head without hesitation, held onto Xu Yeyue''s lips once again, and started to kiss him again.


    This kiss did not stop until both of them were out of breath.


    Xu Yeyue ran out of Lu Feng''s embrace as she stood up and panted.


    As for Lu Feng, she too felt a little lost, and even her body had changed a little.


    "Lu Feng, I will get addicted, what do we do?"


    After a long while, Xu Yeyue who had calmed down suddenly said this.


    Lu Feng, who had already restrained the changes in her body, laughed heartily. She stood up, walked to Xu Yeyue''s side and put her arm around Xu Yeyue''s shoulders and said: "In the future, if Yue''er needs anything, I can naturally find a husband!"


    "So thick-skinned!" Whose husband are you? "


    While Xu Yeyue said that, she actually rested her head on Lu Feng''s shoulder, quietly feeling the warmth.


    "Lu Feng, is this considered a private marriage between the two of us?"


    Xu Yeyue suddenly asked faintly.


    Lu Feng was startled. Before this, she had really not thought of this question and had only told her that it was the orders of her parents. His own father, Lu Xiong, was still far away in the Greencloud City, so he did not know about this.


    However, Lu Feng also knew, although she still respected Lu Xiong as his father on the surface, in reality, she was only replacing the original Lu Feng, trying to be filial. Lu Xiong''s opinion, was basically not affecting his own decision.


    Furthermore, looking at the degree of authority Lu Xiong had towards him, he would definitely not obstruct him on this matter.


    It was just that he did not know if there would be any other problems with Xu Yeyue''s family.


    "Littlemoon, it''s good to have a marriage privately, it''s good to have a father and mother''s lives.


    What I want to know now is: Father-in-law hasn''t arranged a marriage or anything like that, right? "


    Lu Feng earnestly nodded and said as she looked at Xu Yeyue''s side profile.


    "No!"


    The empire''s third prince actually mentioned it to my father once, but when my father said that the boy had shallow roots and was not my good companion, he didn''t agree.


    "My dad also said that I seem to have a seductive body. I can''t even take a normal man like you."


    After she finished speaking, Xu Yeyue shyly lowered her head.


    "Body of Sweetheart?"


    No wonder!


    I wonder why you like to dress up as a man?


    So there''s actually such a reason behind it. "


    Lu Feng nodded in understanding.


    "I just don''t want those prodigal disciples to surround me. Just looking at them makes me feel annoyed!"


    Xu Yeyue pouted.


    Lu Feng laughed: "Yue''er, tell me, when you''re wearing men''s clothing, the temptation seems to be even greater!"


    Hearing Lu Feng''s teasing, Xu Yeyue unwillingly hit Lu Feng on the shoulder a few times, and said in a displeased tone: "That is when you have never seen me in female attire before.


    "Next time, when you come to my house, I''ll show you my female attire. I''ll let you have a good look at my charm!"


    "Go to your house?


    See your father-in-law?


    "Then, I''ll have to prepare a good gift in case Father-in-law is unhappy and hides my lovely wife!"


    Lu Feng realized that it was a good feeling to tease Xu Yeyue occasionally.


    Moreover, Lu Feng had also heard of the name of the Heavenly Star City Master Ghost King.


    It was rumored that the Ghost King was the best in the world, even in the entire empire.


    It was said that the Ghost King had an old relationship with the Emperor and was the first meritorious general of the Emperor''s reign. However, after the Emperor ascended the throne, he insisted on resigning his position and returning home in the name of having no political influence and only wanting to get drunk.


    In the end, the emperor who had no other choice could only bestow upon him the title of a mighty king. He divided his homeland, Heavenly Star City, into his own territory and made him the city lord himself.


    The Ghost King didn''t have much of a reaction towards his title as the mighty King. On the contrary, he liked the title of Ghost King more.


    Normally when it came to the management of Heavenly Star City, Ghost King basically did not show himself. He gave it to the few disciples under him, and let them take turns to exercise the authority of the City Lord and manage the vast Heavenly Star Prefecture.


    Towards such an existence that was like an expert from the outside world, Lu Feng was still very interested in meeting him.


    Not to mention that now that Lu Feng was bathing in someone''s daughter, she would naturally have to pay a visit to her in all seriousness.


    "Meet your ass?


    Let''s go, the Zombie General is waiting for us! "


    Xu Yeyue was embarrassed, she immediately left Lu Feng''s embrace and pulled Lu Feng''s sleeves as she walked to the opposite side. There, they were still waiting for the entrance to the second floor.


    Sure enough, at the opposite side of the ninth ring''s gap, at the unlatched door, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue unsurprisingly met with obstruction.


    Before the two people who had just arrived at the entrance of the tower had the time to move, a strong wind suddenly shot toward the two of them.


    "Who dares to disturb my long slumber?"


    Following a low and hoarse voice, a soldier dressed in armor appeared in front of Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng casually released a set of True Yuan fingers and scattered the incoming gale, then looked at the zombie.


    They saw that although the zombie had already been dead for a while, it was still dressed as it was before. It wore a fairly mighty set of armor and carried a dazzling Yellow Stage spirit artifact, coldly staring at the two of them.

 C144

    "Who are you?


    "After death, why did you not reincarnate and instead turn into a zombie, causing disaster to the world?"


    Letting go of the hand that was wrapped around Xu Yeyue''s shoulder, Lu Feng took out his Crimson Nimbus Sword and unrestrainedly shouted at it.


    "Hoho, where did this young person come from? He actually dares to make a ruckus here?"


    Don''t you know what this place is?


    Who would it be?


    It scares you to death.


    Listen up, I am the empire''s great general, Sikong Caizhi, a right-hand general, and so is Wang Meng!


    To tell you the truth, we, General Sikong Caizhi, created this place because we want to rely on the zombie power inside it to nourish our souls.


    One day, the General will lead us back to the mainland.


    At that time, this Azure Dragon Empire will probably have the surname of our general.


    "Kid, since you''re still young, why don''t you join our general as soon as possible? Becoming the founder of the country is your fortune after a few lifetimes of cultivation."


    A red light flashed past the eyes of the Zombie General, as it spoke arrogantly.


    However, the information in his words reminded Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue. Sikong Caizhi had set up such a place, could it be that he was really cultivating some kind of evil technique, and was preparing to make a comeback one day?


    Furthermore, from what Xu Yeyue said, based on what she had seen and heard after entering the tower, it was clear that Sikong Caizhi was not a righteous man.


    Now, according to the words of Zombie General Wang Meng, it seemed like Sikong Caizhi''s plan was not small.


    "How about you two?


    From what I see, you guys are still young, but your strength is quite decent.


    For example, this little girl, it''s also not bad to make a side room for our adults!


    "Brat, you''re going to be rich!"


    Zombie General Wang Meng said arrogantly.


    This time, Lu Feng was even more curious, especially this Zombie General, Wang Meng. Since it had already become a zombie, how could it still keep its human thoughts, it was a little inconceivable.


    Lu Feng was thinking about the strangeness of Zombie General, but Xu Yeyue, who was at the side, was unwilling to do so. Seeing that Lu Feng had no reaction, Xu Yeyue immediately pulled on Lu Feng''s sleeves with a wronged expression.


    Lu Feng was startled and looked towards Xu Yeyue.


    Xu Yeyue''s face was bitter as she said in a pitiful tone: "Lu Feng, this smelly zombie wants to steal your wife, do you not care?"


    "Puchi!"


    Lu Feng really couldn''t hold back and started laughing.


    This Xu Yeyue was too good at messing things up, against so many enemies, she actually kept it in her heart for the sake of the enemy''s words, and even pretended to be a bullied little daughter-in-law.


    Gritting her teeth fiercely at Lu Feng, Xu Yeyue continued to speak pitifully: "Lu Feng, I don''t want to leave you ah, what do you think we should do?"


    Lu Feng immediately put on a gentle appearance and said softly: "Yue''er won''t cry, your husband will make the decision for you.


    Whoever dares to snatch you, your husband will definitely pay the price! "


    After she finished speaking, Lu Feng actually bent her arm as if she was flaunting her own muscles. Combined with his originally divine and handsome appearance, it was extremely funny.


    "Puchi!"


    This time, it was Xu Yeyue''s turn to burst out laughing, she did not expect that Lu Feng could actually do something so serious.


    Seeing the two of them teasing each other, completely ignoring himself, Zombie General Wang Meng was angered: "Two juniors, you don''t have no idea what''s good for you, the moment my master revives, it will be too late for you to regret it!"


    Looking at Zombie General Wang Meng who was flustered and exasperated, Lu Feng laughed: "I say, didn''t you already become a zombie? Why are human emotions and thoughts still retained?


    How did you do it? "


    Hearing Lu Feng''s question, Zombie General Wang Meng said proudly: "You don''t know about this, right?


    Let me tell you, all of this is thanks to my lord.


    My master has mastered a secret technique that after turning people into zombies, they can still retain their memories and cultivation techniques. They can also be like ordinary people, talking, thinking, and having normal emotions.


    However, his strength was one level lower than before, so it couldn''t increase any further.


    However, once the Lord has revived, we can return to our true forms. That will be the time when we can truly unleash our abilities. "


    The Zombie General Wang Meng seemed to have been lonely for too long, after hearing the two questions, he began to chatter non-stop.


    "Then what''s your current level of strength?"


    Xu Yeyue suddenly asked.


    "Of course I am Yellow Stage.


    Little girl, why are you asking this? "


    Zombie General Wang Meng casually said half a sentence before quickly realizing that something was amiss. He immediately swallowed the latter half of his words and asked in alarm.


    "Of course I''m going to kill you!


    "Go to hell!"


    Xu Yeyue shouted daintily, waving the long whip in her hand, transforming into layers upon layers of whip images that covered the sky and earth, lashing towards Zombie General Wang Meng.


    "Junior, you dare!"


    Zombie General s Wang Meng shouted out, waving the Longsword in his hand to counter Xu Yeyue''s wave after wave of attacks.


    Xu Yeyue was also bad enough. As she fought, she muttered to herself, "Stupid trash.


    And even a Yellow Stage?


    You are at the peak of Yellow Stage.


    You dare to spout nonsense here with your aunt''s strength?


    Today, I will definitely beat you until your face bloomed like peach blossoms! "


    Lu Feng could not help but say: "Yue''er, he is a zombie. His blood is black, and it seems like it will be difficult to beat him up!"


    "Stupid Lu Feng, do you need to care?"


    Xu Yeyue had enough time to turn back and make a face at Lu Feng. She turned around and continued to strengthen her attacks on Wang Meng.


    Facing Xu Yeyue''s pervasive long whip, Zombie General Wang Meng was gradually finding it difficult to resist.


    After all, he was a zombie, and his movements were no longer as nimble as those of a living person.


    Not long after they had exchanged blows, Xu Yeyue''s long whip fiercely lashed onto the shoulder of the Zombie General.


    What surprised Xu Yeyue the most was that after receiving such a heavy blow, Zombie General Wang Meng did not seem to feel anything. He continued to wave his Longsword, meeting Xu Yeyue''s whip head on.


    "Yue''er, he has a zombie body, so he doesn''t feel any pain. Your whip only deals a small amount of damage to him."


    Lu Feng reminded from the side.


    "Moon Splitting Slash!"


    Receiving Lu Feng''s reminder, Xu Yeyue immediately changed her move. She took out her own jade blade, and with a martial skill, she chopped towards the neck of the Zombie General.


    At the same time, Xu Yeyue''s whip suddenly shrank in size, trapping Zombie General Wang Meng within a circumference of three meters, causing him to not even have a place to hide.


    "Clang!"


    A loud sound echoed out.


    Seeing that the situation was not good, the Zombie General immediately gave up on fighting with Xu Yeyue''s whip, and moved the Longsword to the side, blocking Xu Yeyue''s killing blow.


    "Little girl, your methods are so mediocre!


    It''s better to put down your weapons, and submit to our masters as early as possible! "


    After blocking Xu Yeyue''s attack, the Zombie General Wang Meng said to Xu Yeyue proudly.


    "Is that so?


    Goodbye!


    Oh, no!


    It''s time to leave! "


    Xu Yeyue suddenly sneered, she extended her hand and shook the whip, wrapping Zombie General s from head to toe.


    "Little girl, your whip is useless against me. Hurry up."


    Zombie General still wanted to persuade Xu Yeyue to surrender, but she suddenly stopped as her decayed head slid down from her shoulders. She stared blankly at the top of the tower with her empty eyes.

 C145

    It turned out that after Xu Yeyue''s long whip wrapped around the Zombie General, she had secretly sent her True Yuan to attack while Wang Meng was speaking.


    Under the influence of Xu Yeyue''s True Yuan, the tip of the whip suddenly became as tough as steel, and smoothly broke through the defense of the Zombie General''s body, and decayed its head.


    "Yue Er, your long whip is quite magical. What kind of material is it made from?"


    Looking at the long whip that was wrapped back around Xu Yeyue''s arm, Lu Feng asked curiously.


    Xu Yeyue looked at Lu Feng coquettishly and said: "This is a Ghost King Whip that is a copy of my father. It doesn''t have a name, its grade is a Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact, just like my jade blade, do you understand now?"


    Seeing Xu Yeyue''s unkind eyes, Lu Feng nodded and did not say anything.


    "Heh heh!"


    Lu Feng, are we going to settle the score now? "


    Seeing Lu Feng not replying, Xu Yeyue laughed coldly, and said huffily.


    "Yue Er, what account do we have for each other?"


    Lu Feng asked, pretending not to know.


    But Xu Yeyue didn''t reply, she only coldly looked at Lu Feng.


    Seeing Xu Yeyue''s expression, Lu Feng chuckled as she took a step forward, and said: "Yue''er, are you blaming yourself for not helping you kill that Zombie General just now?


    It''s not that I''m talking about you, that Zombie General only had the strength of its peak Yellow Stage, compared to you, it''s still far inferior. How could it possibly be a match for your Miss Xu?


    Right?


    Besides, didn''t you want to beat him to a pulp?


    Your husband will naturally help you fulfill your wish and allow you to accomplish this feat with your own hands.


    By the way, have you achieved it yet?


    Why did I only see the Zombie General''s head fall down? I really didn''t notice if there were peach blossoms on its face. "


    "Puchi!"


    As if thawing ice, Xu Yeyue started laughing loudly due to Lu Feng.


    "Lu Feng, why didn''t I notice earlier, that you were actually such a funny person?


    The feeling you gave me before was that you were no different than a log. You were a rigid and inflexible person, so why have you become so mischievous now? Is there any secret method? "


    Xu Yeyue pounded on Lu Feng''s chest a few times, and said while looking at Lu Feng with a smile.


    "Is there?"


    Lu Feng also noticed that she seemed to have become more cheerful recently, no longer appearing like the depressed guy from before.


    Thinking about it carefully, Lu Feng probably had something to do with undoing the knot in her heart.


    However, Lu Feng would never say such words to Xu Yeyue, so she had no way of saying them.


    Could it be that Lu Feng had to tell Xu Yeyue that she was an old monster from tens of thousands of years ago, who had passed through her possession onto Lu Feng''s body to achieve her current appearance?


    Therefore, Lu Feng could only pretend to be stupid.


    "Yes!"


    Xu Yeyue did not care whether Lu Feng was pretending or not, staring at Lu Feng''s eyes, she said seriously.


    A thought suddenly popped up in Lu Feng''s mind. She went close to Xu Yeyue''s ear and whispered: "Did my tongue also become a lot more nimble after eating our Miss Xu''s saliva?"


    "Lu Feng, you''re so bad!"


    Xu Yeyue was greatly embarrassed, she immediately retreated a few steps and pulled away from Lu Feng, looking at him blushing, and even stepped on the ground adorably.


    Lu Feng didn''t have the awareness of being a scoundrel like her. Instead, she felt that it was quite fun to tease Xu Yeyue and make him feel awkward.


    Therefore, when Lu Feng took a few steps back, Lu Feng immediately went over and wrapped her arm around Xu Yeyue''s slender waist and said slyly: "Is it bad? Then do you still want it? "


    After he finished speaking, Lu Feng''s large face slowly moved towards Xu Yeyue.


    "Yes!"


    Facing Lu Feng''s face which was getting closer and closer, Xu Yeyue suddenly said this firmly. She reached out her arms to hug Lu Feng''s neck and took the initiative to kiss him.


    After a while, their lips parted.


    Xu Yeyue pushed Lu Feng away again and said: "The intimacy is over, let''s continue settling our debts!"


    Lu Feng''s expression turned bitter, "Yue''er, why do we still have accounts to settle?"


    "Of course, you owe a lot. You can''t do that if you don''t calculate everything properly!"


    Xu Yeyue said proudly with her hands behind her back.


    "Fine, your husband will listen to your story and see how many mistakes your husband has committed."


    Lu Feng acted as if she was the meat of a fish, allowing others to take advantage of him, coordinating with Xu Yeyue''s tone, and said that, but in terms of words, she still had to take advantage of them first.


    "You still dare to call yourself a husband?


    Then let me ask you, when that Zombie General wanted me to become Sikong Caizhi''s side room, why didn''t you say anything?


    You still dare to be my husband with this kind of attitude? "


    Lu Feng wanted to take advantage of the situation, but she ended up provoking a barrage of cannons from Xu Yeyue.


    Seeing Xu Yeyue drawing with one hand on his waist, Lu Feng could not help but fall in love with him. She could not help but hold onto Xu Yeyue''s waist again, not giving her any chance to resist, and sealed her mouth.


    After the kiss, Xu Yeyue seemed to be completely powerless as she laid on Lu Feng''s chest. She did not have the intention to leave Lu Feng''s embrace for the moment.


    Lu Feng hugged Xu Yeyue''s delicate body, and said seriously: "Yue''er, your husband was considering a problem at that time.


    I wonder if you noticed? The Zombie General Wang Meng had said before, that it was possible for Sikong Caizhi to revive.


    So, I am thinking, what is Sikong Caizhi''s intention for setting up this General''s Tomb?


    Could it be that he just wanted to borrow the evil qi from those zombies to practice some kind of evil martial art?


    It was hard to say if he had a bigger agenda.


    Furthermore, according to what you have said before, in that era, Sikong Caizhi had already become the bane of the world.


    Therefore, we can''t guarantee that Sikong Caizhi won''t use the opportunity to transform into a zombie to escape the possibility of retaliation.


    This could be seen from the fact that the General''s Tomb was built thousands of feet underground.


    Therefore, I did not care much about what the Zombie General said about using you as a side room.


    Do you understand?


    Besides, how could I be willing to let someone as beautiful as you take my wife away? Don''t you think so? "


    "I''ll count it as you!"


    However, the possibility you mentioned might actually be true.


    According to the records in the history books, this Sikong Caizhi was definitely not a kind person.


    So, I think we should increase the speed of cleaning up these zombies, and let your Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation absorb all the Evil Qi and completely destroy Sikong Caizhi''s plan.


    That''s the only way we can make this trip underground worthwhile. "


    Hearing Lu Feng''s explanation, Xu Yeyue pouted, and then said very seriously.


    Lu Feng said: "Yue''er, your husband happens to have this intention.


    "Now, do you have an account to settle with your husband?"


    Xu Yeyue left Lu Feng''s embrace and said in a tender voice: "There''s nothing else for now, I still need to see your performance in the future."

 C146

    After ending her flirting with Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng took out the twelve Formation Flag s and absorbed all of their fiendish aura and flesh essence. Then, she kept the Formation Flag and with Xu Yeyue, they entered the second level of the pagoda.


    After going up to the second floor, Lu Feng realized that she and Xu Yeyue were still in the middle of the ring.


    The only difference was that all the zombies on this level were already at the early Xiantian realm.


    "Yue Er, have you noticed that the strength of those zombies has increased by a whole stage.


    If your husband didn''t guess wrong, the strength of the zombies in these nine levels should increase by one level each.


    In other words, when we reach the ninth floor, the ordinary zombies we face will likely all be at the peak of the Yellow Stage.


    As for the strength of Zombie General, the previous first layer was two levels higher than that of normal zombies.


    If we push things down, we might encounter people with peak Earth Stage in the ninth floor.


    It looks like this Exquisite Tower is not that easy to pass! "


    Lu Feng told Xu Yeyue her own guess.


    "What is there to be afraid of?


    As we go through layer after layer, our strength will slowly increase as well.


    Furthermore, that precious formation of yours can help us a lot! "


    Xu Yeyue said in an unconcerned tone.


    Lu Feng thought about it, what Xu Yeyue had said was not logical, after she cleaned out all the zombies on the first level, as her True Yuan s continued to deplete and replenish themselves, her cultivation level truly started to increase.


    "Let''s go and clean up the zombies on this level first."


    Lu Feng walked towards the first circle, and Xu Yeyue followed closely behind. The two once again immersed themselves into the battle with the seemingly endless zombies.


    The zombies on the second floor were a level higher than the first floor, reaching the strength of an early stage Innate. However, in the hands of Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue, they could not resist at all. After half a day, the two of them had already cleared this floor clean, and once again arrived at the entrance to the third floor where the Zombie General was.


    Following the cleaning of those zombies, Lu Feng''s Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation had made significant progress. The second Devilish God had already been formed, and the third had already been formed.


    Even though the strength of Zombie General on this level had reached the early stage of the Profound Stage, they were still not Lu Feng''s match. Under the combination of Lu Feng''s Heaven Shrouding Hand Seal and the Crimson Nimbus Sword, they were almost killed without any effort whatsoever. This also caused Xu Yeyue to be very shocked by Lu Feng''s true combat strength.


    After the Formation Flag finished absorbing the Zombie General''s fiendish aura and essence, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue rested for a while before they once again ascended to the third floor.


    Indeed, just as Lu Feng had guessed, all the zombies on this level were at the middle stage of the Innate Realm. It was a small upgrade from the second level.


    After killing all the zombies once again, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue both felt a little tired.


    Facing the surging sea of zombies, the two of them had fought non-stop for a day and a night. It was normal for them to be a little tired since they had to face Zombie General s with a higher level of strength.


    Glancing at the entrance to the fourth floor, Xu Yeyue simply summoned out a Iron-armed Devilish Ape that was staying inside the Wood Spirit Pearl and had it deal with the Zombie General with its Mid Profound Stage.


    With the strength of the early stage of Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s Earth Stage, it was very easy to capture a small Mid Profound Stage zombie.


    After taking back the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, Xu Yeyue took the initiative to suggest the two enter the Linglong Hundred Transformations Room to rest, as well as to study the results of the day and night.


    After some rest, Xu Yeyue had already infinitely neared the bottleneck to the early stage of Earth Stage, and Lu Feng, at the middle stage of the Aurous Core stage, had already taken a big step forward.


    Afterwards, the two of them entered the fourth floor.


    The fourth floor was different from the three floors up ahead. The density of the zombies inside the circle had been reduced to six, but the zombies inside were denser than the zombies on the third floor by quite a bit. Their strengths were all Late Innate Stage, and correspondingly, the Zombie General guarding this floor ought to also have the strength of Late Profound Stage.


    This time, Xu Yeyue did not continue to use her jade blade and imitation Ghost King Whip, but took out the Purple Lightning Sword that she obtained from Spiritual Master Ziyang, and together, she took up two sides of the gap, continuing to kill the zombies.


    Therefore, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness, and always maintained a focused state. Even when the True Yuan was overused, they would only eat a Pills like the Cyan Spirit Pellet, which would replenish their energy and after a bit of replenishment, they would continue to be immersed in the massacre.


    This time, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue''s speed was a bit slower. After killing all the zombies this time, it took a full six hours, practically an entire day.


    After controlling the Formation Flag to absorb the fiendish aura and the essence of the flesh and blood, Lu Feng made Xu Yeyue retreat temporarily. He went over to the Zombie General and fought it alone.


    This time, Lu Feng''s Sky Shrouding Palm was not so easy to use. Combined with the Crimson Nimbus Sword, it was not that easy to obtain the Late Profound Stage''s strength.


    When the battle was on the line, Lu Feng suddenly thought of the zombie type beasts. Although these zombies were created by humans, most zombies were afraid of lightning type techniques, because it represented the nature''s righteous energy, the most selfless, and the nemesis of all zombies.


    Immediately after, Lu Feng used the Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal Technique that she had been practicing long ago, unleashing bolt after bolt of thunder from her palm, hitting the Zombie General and causing it to scream continuously in pain.


    In the end, Lu Feng managed to get rid of the Zombie General, whose strength was a level higher than his, and officially opened the door to the fifth floor.


    However, Lu Feng was not in a rush to enter the fifth floor. Instead, she called Xu Yeyue and asked him if she had cultivated thunder-type techniques, and after receiving a negative answer, Lu Feng taught him the Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal so that she could start training with the simplest Thunder Palm. This way, she could be able to deal with the zombies on the next floor at a faster speed.


    Lu Feng herself, on the other hand, had started to cultivate the more difficult types of the Desolate Heaven Thunder Art and the Thunder Sky Prison, two similar kinds of martial skills, in order to properly entertain the zombies on the fifth floor.

 C147

    Xu Yeyue''s talent was outstanding indeed. Under Lu Feng''s meticulous guidance, she very quickly grasped the main points of the Five Thunder Righteous Technique''s cultivation and successfully mastered it to the Thunder Palm.


    When Lu Feng finished training the style of the Wild Thunder Heavenly Prison, she forgot about everything else. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that Miss Xu was quite interested in using the Palm Lightning to bombard him, causing the floor of the fourth floor to almost be sliced clean.


    "Yue Er, aren''t you tired?"


    Seeing Xu Yeyue, who seemed to have obtained some sort of plaything, Lu Feng shouted somewhat speechlessly. Her body floated over to Xu Yeyue''s side, stopping her from continuing to bombard him.


    "Lu Feng, you''re awake?"


    Hearing Lu Feng''s voice, Xu Yeyue threw out a lightning ball that she had stored in her palm. She turned around and smiled sweetly at Lu Feng.


    "Yue Er, how did you end up like this?"


    Looking at the potholes on the ground, Lu Feng rubbed her forehead and said helplessly.


    Xu Yeyue seemed to not have noticed Lu Feng''s slightly green complexion, and said excitedly: "Lu Feng, what you taught me, the Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal, is simply too much fun, especially when I saw the lightning ball slowly form in my palm, and then throw it out, I really felt a sense of accomplishment!"


    Lu Feng finally realised, this Miss Xu, although she was normally dressed in men''s clothes and looked cold and cool, in truth, she was essentially just a child that had not grown up.


    "Alright, it''s good as long as you like Yue Er!"


    Oh right, it''s been so long. How''s your proficiency? Have you completely grasped Thunder Palm? "


    Although she felt a headache coming on for Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng still asked lovingly.


    "Of course!


    Do you think my reputation as the number one genius of Heavenly Star City is for nothing?


    Just now, I was here experimenting in order to quickly master the Thunder Palm! "


    Xu Yeyue continued her pride. She placed her hands on her back, propped up the mountain range in front of her chest and said with pride.


    "Then do you want to continue practicing the next few moves?"


    Lu Feng asked.


    "How many moves?" "Is it powerful?"


    Xu Yeyue asked anxiously.


    "Desolate Thunder!"


    Lu Feng suddenly roared out, her hand forming a seal and pointing forward.


    Following Lu Feng''s finger attack, a lightning pillar the size of a bucket suddenly appeared in the air, directly smashing down.


    Boom!


    With a loud noise, a huge pit appeared on the hard ground from Lu Feng''s attack, as though the ground was about to be penetrated.


    "That powerful?"


    Xu Yeyue looked at the big pit in shock. She herself had crazily exploded for a long time, but had only made fist-sized holes in the ground. Lu Feng was so great now.


    After recovering from her shock, Xu Yeyue seriously said to Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, this move is very powerful, you should wait for me to learn it.


    I feel that my Palm Lightning is only at the Initial Stage and is far from the level of being able to reach the Perfection Stage. For the time being, I do not have the qualifications to continue cultivating it.


    Besides, since you do, when will I be different? "Right?"


    Xu Yeyue said, and gave herself a very strong reason.


    "You! When did I surpass you in cultivation? Let''s see what you''ll say now!"


    Lu Feng lovingly glanced at Xu Yeyue and said.


    "Don''t worry, you''re my husband. It''s normal for you to be stronger than me!"


    Xu Yeyue giggled, went up and grabbed Lu Feng''s arm, and shook it around like a spoiled child, causing Lu Feng''s heart to shake. The key point was that when her arm was stuck between the mountain ranges, the soft touch was way too intoxicating.


    "Alright, alright, let''s go to the next floor!"


    Lu Feng hurriedly retracted his arm. If she let Xu Yeyue keep shaking it, what would she do if she got angry?


    Xu Yeyue laughed and made a face at Lu Feng''s back, then followed along.


    After walking out of the central tower gate''s area, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue continued to guard the gap on one side, while ordering the Flying Sword to kill the zombies on the other side.


    None of those zombies with the strength of Peak of Innate Stage could last for more than a few breaths under the hands of the two, and all of them unwillingly fell on the path of the charge.


    After killing the first ring, Lu Feng threw down the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation s, allowing them to absorb the fiendish aura and the essence from the flesh and blood. Then, together with Xu Yeyue, they walked towards the gap in the second ring.


    At the location of the second circle, the two of them were still on the left and right, quickly killing the zombies on the left and right.


    Furthermore, in the midst of the constant slaughtering, Lu Feng and Lu Feng were constantly experiencing the true might of the Five Thunder Technique, especially Xu Yeyue. After going through real combat, her mastery of the Thunder Palm Technique had increased extremely fast, and she was about to reach the large success stage.


    After killing all the zombies in the second ring, Lu Feng raised her hand to recall the Formation Flag s at the opening of the first ring. She then threw them into the pile of zombies, she and Xu Yeyue continued to kill their way to the opening of the third ring.


    In the end, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue only used half a day to clean up all the zombies on the fifth floor.


    Arriving at the place where the Zombie General was, Lu Feng said to Xu Yeyue in a deep voice, "Yue''er, you have to retreat first. The strength of this Zombie General has reached its Peak of Profound Stage.


    Didn''t you just say that you wanted to see the power of the next move of the Five Thunder Righteous Technique?


    I''ll let you have a good look at this. "


    Lu Feng pulled Xu Yeyue''s arm, exhorted him a little, and then walked towards the Zombie General''s location.


    "Disturbing someone meant that this general would be resting here forever?"


    With a cold shout, a tall and sturdy figure carrying a Longsword on his shoulder suddenly appeared in front of Lu Feng. Its long cape was rustling behind it, and it looked extremely mighty and handsome, if one did not look at its face.


    "Mad Thunder Heavenly Prison!"


    Lu Feng did not waste any words, and immediately activated the third form of the Five Thunder Technique.


    In the air, a ray of lightning suddenly appeared, quickly enlarging to form a huge ball of lightning, enveloping the Zombie General within.


    Ah!


    "Junior, you dare to secretly harm someone!"


    The Zombie General cried out in pain, its voice filled with endless fear.


    "Desolate Thunder!"


    Lu Feng did not stop at all, she immediately formed a few hand seals and used another move, Desolate Thunder, the thick lightning pillar directly went through the ball of lightning and struck onto the Zombie General''s head.


    Ah!


    The Zombie General screamed yet again, its voice sounding even more shrill!

 C148

    The Zombie General wanted to break through the restraints of the thunder ball, but was sucked into the ball, unable to break free.


    As for Lu Feng, taking advantage of the Zombie General''s inability to move, she was constantly struck by lightning. Xu Yeyue, who was behind them, also ran over and placed his palm lightning one after another. Although it could not cause too much damage to the Zombie General, it was still a type of supplement that was better than nothing.


    In less than an hour, the arrogant Peak of Profound Stage Zombie General had died miserably under the effects of the Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal Spell.


    After entering the sixth floor, Lu Feng realized that this time, the ordinary zombies had already changed to having the strength of Early Yellow Stage.


    "Yue Er, from now on, the strength of the zombies will increase by a huge margin, it is a bit of a loss. You should summon the Iron Arms Senior and let him help you deal with the zombies in one direction while I defend myself in the other."


    Feeling the strength of the zombies, Lu Feng thought for a while before speaking to Xu Yeyue.


    "Lu Feng, aren''t you feeling too much pressure?"


    Compared to zombies with Peak of Innate Stage, zombies with Early Yellow Stage, strength had increased by more than just a little, it was a qualitative leap, and Lu Feng was currently only at the middle Jindan Stage, corresponding to her Middle Yellow Stage which was only a small level higher than normal zombies. Facing the endless army of zombies, Xu Yeyue was still very worried.


    However, Xu Yeyue herself also knew that it would be very difficult for her to guard one direction by herself with her current strength. She also knew that Lu Feng''s true combat strength could not be measured by level on the outside, but she was still a bit worried deep down in her heart.


    "Don''t worry, if I really can''t block it, I will lay down the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation and surround those zombies."


    Lu Feng waved her hand and said calmly to Xu Yeyue.


    The Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation had absorbed all the zombies below the fifth floor, including the Zombie General''s fiendish aura and flesh essence, and had successfully formed four Devilish God. The fifth one was also about to take shape, so it was a good opportunity to test its might.


    Moreover, Lu Feng still had not used the killing machine, the Chaotic Clock.


    If he were to activate the Chaotic Clock''s word control, it would naturally be more convenient to kill those zombies.


    Of course, Lu Feng also knew that it was not the time to dispatch her Chaotic Clock in the face of these zombies.


    Thinking about Lu Feng''s mysterious Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, Xu Yeyue''s expression finally became a little better, and said: "Lu Feng, you must be careful. If there''s no other way, you must set up a formation to stop those zombies, and wait for Iron Arms Senior and I to free our hands before coming over to support you."


    "Yue Er, don''t worry. Your husband is waiting to see you wear female clothing. How could you be hurt by such a small zombie?"


    In order to alleviate Xu Yeyue''s worry, Lu Feng casually joked.


    Xu Yeyue, however, nodded very seriously, and said: "Lu Feng, as long as we don''t die this time and successfully pass through these nine levels of Exquisite Tower, I will change back into my female attire in the future and show you every single day!"


    "Really?"


    Lu Feng asked as her appetite increased and she even intentionally wiped the saliva that didn''t exist on her chin.


    "Puchi!" "Look at your silly look!"


    Lu Feng purposely pretended to be a pig in front of her eyes, finally making Xu Yeyue laugh. She couldn''t help but pout coquettishly.


    After pacifying Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng resolutely nodded towards Xu Yeyue and walked towards the gap in the first circle.


    As for Xu Yeyue, she also summoned her Iron-armed Devilish Ape and went to the other side of the gap, one master and one servant.


    Although the sixth floor still had six circles, the amount of zombies becoming smaller as they increased in strength compared to the fifth floor. It was no longer as densely packed as before, which made the pressure on Lu Feng and the others lessen by quite a bit.


    After fighting for half a day, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue finally killed the last zombie.


    During this process, Lu Feng forcefully held on. She did not use the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, she only relied on her Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal and the Crimson Nimbus Sword to deal with half of the zombies.


    With the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s assistance, Xu Yeyue managed to easily kill the other half of the zombie''s body.


    Just as Lu Feng was about to go and wake up the Zombie General, she was stopped by a sudden call from Xu Yeyue.


    "Lu Feng, wait a moment, I feel that my bottleneck has loosened, and there are signs of me levelling up."


    Xu Yeyue said to Lu Feng somewhat anxiously.


    Once she heard that Xu Yeyue wanted to level up, Lu Feng immediately became anxious. She pulled Xu Yeyue and started to retreat, all the way until they reached the entrance of the tower in the center, before she stopped.


    Lu Feng took out the remaining two Barrier Breaking Pills and the Cyan Spirit Pill that could quickly replenish True Yuan and handed it over to Xu Yeyue, saying: "Yue''er, this tower seems to have its own space, the spirit energy inside is not very abundant.


    Therefore, you can only rely on Pills to make up for the large amount of spirit energy you need to break through.


    This is the Barrier Breaking Pill I refined for cultivators. It contains a large amount of spiritual energy that can help you break through successfully. After breaking through, you can quickly stabilize your current cultivation.


    However, when I refined these two Pills, my cultivation was still low, and the grade of the spirit medicine I used was not high, causing the medicinal effects to be incomplete, so you will have to consume these two together.


    Consuming one will replenish roughly one-fourth of the True Yuan s that are at the peak of the Yellow Stage. You keep it first, just in case you feel that the True Yuan s in your body are insufficient, then immediately eat one. "


    After passing the two bottles of Pills to Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng took out a few small Formation Flag s and started to lay down the hidden Spell Formation s, as well as the enhanced Energy Concentration Formation. Although the inside of the tower was not rich in Spirit Qi, it was still a little bit.


    Seeing Lu Feng busying herself, Xu Yeyue''s heart was filled with sweetness. She stared blankly at the side of Lu Feng''s face and in her heart, there were only Lu Feng''s figures that she could not erase.


    After arranging the two array formations, Lu Feng told Xu Yeyue to quickly enter the array and make the best use of her time to break through. She herself, along with the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, stayed outside the array to help protect Xu Yeyue.


    After Xu Yeyue entered the array, after approximately an incense''s time, a strong True Yuan fluctuation suddenly erupted from inside the array. Even the concealment array that Lu Feng hastily set up was unable to conceal the powerful Qi, and was easily broken through.


    After that, the wave of True Yuan quickly swept across all six circles on the sixth floor. Even the gullies between the rings were unable to stop the aura from spreading.


    "This is bad!"


    Iron Arms Senior, you come here to protect us while I go and stop the Zombie General! "


    Lu Feng let out a low shout, opened her figure, and quickly rushed to the entrance of the seventh floor.


    Indeed, the commotion caused by Xu Yeyue''s breakthrough had successfully attracted the attention of the Zombie General hiding in the shadows. That fellow with the early stage of Earth Stage was staring in Xu Yeyue''s direction like a tiger eyeing its prey.

 C149

    "Go!"


    Lu Feng came to the front of the Zombie General, extended a finger, controlled the Crimson Nimbus Sword in the air, turned into a red light and attacked the Zombie General.


    At the same time, Lu Feng formed a seal and quickly retrieved the twelve Formation Flag s that were absorbing the Evil Qi and the flesh essence from the corpses of the zombies.


    Without even giving it a chance to look, Lu Feng flung the twelve Formation Flag towards the Zombie General. Her hands continuously formed hand seals.


    "Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, rise!"


    Following Lu Feng''s explosive shout, the twelve Formation Flag''s bodies were finally surrounded by twelve banners, forming twelve banners, which then disappeared into the air. As for the five tall Devilish God, each of them held a weapon in their hands, and appeared in the large formation.


    Under the interference of the black mist within the formation, within the eyes of the Zombie General, although red light was flashing wildly, it was ultimately unable to see through the fog.


    At this time, the five Devilish God were no longer the weak existences like the twelve Devilish God from before. Their bodies were shrouded in a baleful aura, and their auras were actually not weaker than Middle Yellow Stage.


    With the support of the large array, these five Devilish God continued to circle the Zombie General as if they were walking on horseback. All kinds of attacks also continuously landed on the Zombie General''s body.


    Although the Zombie General fought back with all its might, its perception was severely affected by the mist. It would usually take four or five hits before being able to successfully counterattack once.


    In the black fog, they were like fishes in water. Even if they were injured by the Zombie General, they would quickly heal their wounds within an extremely short period of time, without affecting their fighting capabilities in the slightest.


    Zombie General itself was known for its slow and stiff movements. Although its strength was at the early stage of Earth Stage, it still felt overwhelmed and overwhelmed in this kind of environment where it was restricted everywhere.


    Following the activation of the large array, Lu Feng''s anxious expression finally relaxed. As long as the Zombie General was trapped, that was good enough.


    It had to be known, Xu Yeyue was at the critical moment of her breakthrough, so she absolutely could not be alarmed. Otherwise, it would be very easy for her cultivation to go berserk, leaving behind a lifelong regret.


    After calming herself down, Lu Feng started to use his Five Thunder Righteous Technique to continuously assist the Devilish God and attack them.


    Upon reaching the Zombie General''s level, Lu Feng''s Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal Technique, no matter if it was the most basic Thunder Palms or the highest grade Thunder Calamity and Thunder God Prison, they were already unable to cause any substantial harm to it. After all, the difference in strength between the two parties was still there.


    However, the lightning magic had a very good effect. It had an unexpected effect on the attacks of the Devilish God.


    As time passed, the fluctuations of the True Yuan over at Xu Yeyue''s side became more and more violent. This also signified that Xu Yeyue was about to enter the most critical moment of her breakthrough.


    Now, other than the Zombie General trapped by the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, there were no other enemies on the sixth floor of the Exquisite Tower. This ensured that Xu Yeyue was not disturbed.


    "Yue Er, you can do it!"


    After taking the time to turn around and look at Xu Yeyue''s location, Lu Feng said these words in her heart, and unconsciously sped up her movements.


    The Zombie General in the array, after taking so many blows and being constantly suppressed, almost did not have any chance to retaliate. Finally, it was enraged.


    "Human boy, I advise you to quickly take this bird-spell of yours and surrender to my general. I can even save your life. Otherwise, the moment you break through your spell will be the time of your death!"


    After the Zombie General forced back its wave of attacks, it suddenly shouted loudly, the threat in its voice was very strong!


    Towards this kind of threat, Lu Feng couldn''t help but scoff, wanting me to surrender? That was a dream!


    "Wa, wa, wa. Human boy, you''ve successfully aroused the fury of this general!


    Next, bear with it! "


    The Zombie General inside the array, upon seeing Lu Feng not understanding its problem, became even angrier. It cried out a few times, and then roared: "Life Combustion!"


    F * ck!


    Lu Feng was shocked, wasn''t Zombie General considered dead?


    Why would it burn with life?


    While Lu Feng was still in shock, the body of the Zombie General suddenly shone with a bright red light.


    As for those Devilish God, although they brandished their respective weapons and ruthlessly smashed towards the Zombie General, they did not achieve the same results as before.


    At this moment, the Zombie General rippled and blocked all the attacks.


    Suddenly, the red light surrounding the Zombie General retracted back into his body, as if it was wearing a fiery red armor. Even the long cloak behind him had turned a fiery red color, and stood there majestically, holding onto the big sword''s hilt with both hands.


    Ah!


    The Zombie General raised its head and roared, it raised the big sword in its hand, opened up its big mouth and rushed towards one of the Devilish God.


    The Devilish God that was unable to be captured by the Zombie General all of a sudden lost its ability to remain invisible, and was completely exposed to the Zombie General.


    With the wave of the greatsword, the Zombie General was cut into three pieces, turned into a cloud of black smoke, and returned to the flag surface.


    "Mad Thunder Heavenly Prison!"


    When Lu Feng saw the might of the Zombie General, she immediately used Mad Thunder Heavenly Prison to restrain the Zombie General.


    But, to Lu Feng''s disappointment, the Zombie General suddenly raised its head, and slashed towards the electric ball that had just formed, successfully breaking Lu Feng''s attack.


    Although the explosion of the electric ball made the Zombie General''s body pause for a moment, it quickly got rid of the paralyzing effect and continued to attack the Devilish God.


    "Mad Thunder from the Sky!"


    "Mad Thunder Heavenly Prison!"


    Lu Feng''s eyes congealed, and in the next moment she released two major moves, one in front and the other behind, as she attacked the Zombie General.


    "Break for me!"


    The Zombie General slashed twice, successfully breaking Lu Feng''s chain of moves.


    At this time, the Devilish God that had returned to the flag surface finally condensed anew. The sixth Devilish God also condensed and jumped down from the flag surface. Using a giant meteor drill, it smashed towards the Zombie General''s waist.


    Taking this chance, the remaining five Devilish God once again surrounded the Zombie General, continuously compressing its movement space.


    The Zombie General had broken through a few of Lu Feng''s big moves, and the red color on her body had already begun to dim, allowing Lu Feng to finally see hope ¡ª ¡ª The effect of the Zombie General''s life burning, was about to happen.


    As the red light gradually faded, the Zombie General''s aura fell. It was no longer able to disperse the attacks from the six Devilish Beast, and could only passively defend.


    At this point, killing the Zombie General was only a matter of time.


    On the other hand, Xu Yeyue had also successfully broken through her bottleneck and officially became a Early Profound Stage expert.


    At this point, the outcome of the sixth level had been decided.

 C150

    With the help of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, Lu Feng smoothly annihilated the sixth floor''s Zombie General inside the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation and smoothly formed the seventh floor.


    After putting away the twelve Formation Flag, Xu Yeyue''s True Yuan also stopped moving. Walking out of the source energy gathering and concealment array, Xu Yeyue''s strength had already completely stabilized at the Early Profound Stage realm. Compared to Iron-armed Devilish Ape, she was just one whole level lower.


    Of course, if it was in actual combat, Xu Yeyue, who had just advanced to the Profound Stage, would definitely not be Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s match. Although she had taken advantage of the treasures, Iron-armed Devilish Ape had not only entered the Earth Stage realm, his skin and bones were all tougher than steel.


    Looking at the big sword the Zombie General was holding, Lu Feng realized that it was actually a Earth Stage Artifact, its quality was not bad.


    Casually holding up the big sword, Lu Feng walked towards Iron-armed Devilish Ape.


    "Yue Er, have you stabilized your cultivation?"


    Looking at the glowing Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng asked concernedly.


    Xu Yeyue giggled and said: "Little Lu Feng, I''m a dignified Profound Stage expert, you have to be a little courteous to me!"


    Seeing that Xu Yeyue had started to play tricks again, Lu Feng smiled in her heart and said, "Miss Xu is being too serious, this one is terrified.


    In the future, if there is anything that can be of use to Miss Xu, please do not hesitate to tell me.


    Xu Yeyue walked in front of Lu Feng, and said with her charming voice: "Lu Feng, you sure have a glib tongue, you aren''t as aloof as you seem on the surface."


    Lu Feng shook her head and said: "Not at all! Miss Xu is too kind.


    As the saying goes, the near one who is close to the close, the dark one who is close to the close.


    After interacting with the Miss Xu for a long time, she would naturally learn a few things.


    "We''ll talk about it later."


    Lu Feng suddenly stopped, went close to Xu Yeyue''s ear and whispered: "Besides, with Miss Xu''s saliva moisturizing, it will be hard for this one to not have a glib tongue!


    "Hahaha!"


    After she finished speaking, Lu Feng let out a long laugh, and before Xu Yeyue could get angry, she retreated quickly.


    Seeing Lu Feng''s pleased expression, Xu Yeyue waved her fist at Lu Feng, showing that if you dare say more, I will make you look good.


    After teasing each other for a while, Xu Yeyue suddenly spoke in a serious tone: "Lu Feng, I have already made a breakthrough. Let''s go and clean up the Zombie General in this floor, then go to the next floor?"


    "How can you work for such a small thing like this Miss Xu?


    I have already taken care of that lowly Zombie General, the evidence is here. "


    As Lu Feng said that, she took out the big sword that she obtained from the Zombie General, and waved it proudly in front of Xu Yeyue.


    Seeing the big sword, Xu Yeyue immediately understood. Lu Feng had indeed taken care of all the Zombie General on the first floor.


    "Lu Feng, was it because I made too much of a noise when I made my breakthrough and alarmed the Zombie General, that you were able to handle the Zombie General alone?"


    The intelligent Xu Yeyue, who immediately understood the crux of the matter, said to Lu Feng while feeling very moved.


    Lu Feng did not linger over this matter for too long. Instead, she held onto her greatsword and said to Iron-armed Devilish Ape: "Iron Arms Senior, I have never seen you use a weapon, and do not know if this greatsword is compatible with yours, you can use it for now.


    Once we get out of this Exquisite Tower, just tell me what kind of weapon you want. "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was also touched. It had never thought that it would actually split the spoils of war between them, it seemed like following such a master would have quite a bright future.


    "Brother Lu, thank you for still thinking about me, Old Tie.


    Honestly speaking, I relied on a pair of iron fists to deal with my previous opponents. I know a bit about using weapons, but I''m sure I''m not as proficient as you guys.


    As for the weapon''s design, I think this sword is pretty good. I''ll just use it this way for now. "


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape said to Lu Feng as if she was very moved.


    "Iron Arms Senior is too polite, we are on the same side now, so if you have any spoils of war, you can take it out for us to share. Since you like this big sword, take it and use it."


    Lu Feng said humbly.


    Following that, Lu Feng regained her strength, then two people and one ape pushed open the door to the seventh floor, going up to the seventh floor of the Exquisite Tower.


    After reaching the seventh floor, Lu Feng realized that the seventh floor was different from the previous floors. The number of zombies on the hoops had been reduced to three, but the number of zombies on top of each hoop had once again increased.


    With so many Yellow Stage experts gathered together, crammed into each other and distributed around the ring, the scene was still quite shocking.


    "Yue''er, as usual, you and the Iron Arms Senior should be in charge of the same direction. I will be in charge of a separate direction.


    However, this time the zombies are a little tricky. They are at the same level as me, so I can only block their attacks.


    Therefore, you and the Iron Arms Senior must move a little faster. After killing the zombies on your side, come and help me quickly. "


    Seeing so many zombies that were at the same level as him, Lu Feng was still a little worried. He did not want to use the Chaotic Clock right now, it was what he had prepared to use against the final BOSS, Sikong Caizhi.


    Therefore, this time, Lu Feng was prepared to use the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation''s effect to form an external attack pattern to kill those zombies.


    After agreeing on a strategy, Lu Feng went to the gap in the first circle by herself and started to lay down Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation s while the zombies still had yet to arrive.


    Xu Yeyue and Iron-armed Devilish Ape went to the other side, waiting for the zombies to attack them.


    Soon, the zombies in the first ring discovered the three of them, and began to gather towards the two sides of the gap.


    Lu Feng formed a seal and activated the art, summoning all the seven Devilish God s out. She lined them up in a row at the gap, swung the weapons in her hands, and threw them at the zombies.


    Seven heads and eight feet tall Devilish God, nearly blocked the entire first circle. Like a hard dam, it welcomed the repeated impacts of the zombie sea, but still stood there.


    Lu Feng realized that there was something strange about this phenomenon. This included the Devilish God that was formed before he advanced, they all liked to use long weapons, such as Meteor Boring, Mountain Splitting Axe, halberd drawing, big blade, and hooked sickle. The only one who used short weapons was holding two large hammers which were much heavier than the ones held by the other Devilish God s.


    As for the zombies on the other side, they were also a group of Hu Chong''s group. Their fighting style was very similar to the Devilish God''s, they were all clashing head on.

 C151

    The Devilish God s blocked the path the zombies were taking, preventing the zombies from reaching Lu Feng. However, Lu Feng didn''t stay idle either.


    Compared to Xu Yeyue, the progress on Lu Feng''s side was even smoother.


    Especially the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation''s twelve Formation Flag. In the process of the Devilish God fighting, they crazily absorbed the fiendish aura that dispersed in the air, continuously condensing their next Devilish God.


    As for Xu Yeyue, she was an expert in Early Profound Stage and the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was an expert in the early stages of Earth Stage.


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape waved the big sword he had just obtained, opening and closing both sides, continuously killing the approaching zombies.


    As for Xu Yeyue, she controlled the Jade Saber and Violet Electricity Sword at the same time and charged into the group of zombies. From time to time, she would release a few palm lightning strikes, killing zombies that dared to get close to him.


    The second version of the Ghost King Whip circled around Xu Yeyue''s body, forming an expanded protective shield, preventing Xu Yeyue from being ambushed by zombies, an absolute offensive and defensive strategy.


    In comparison, Lu Feng''s side had gained the advantage of having more people forming the array. Her progress in killing the zombies was actually even faster than Xu Yeyue''s side.


    After killing all the zombies in her direction, Lu Feng went over to Xu Yeyue''s side and casually took care of the remaining zombies. She threw down the twelve Formation Flag s and let them absorb the fiendish aura and flesh essence, then turned to Xu Yeyue and said: "Yue''er, let''s retreat to the entrance for now, I have something to say to you."


    Xu Yeyue let Iron-armed Devilish Ape return back to the Wood Spirit Pearl to rest for the time being so that he could recuperate from his injuries. He went over to Lu Feng''s side and held onto Lu Feng''s arm as he went to the entrance to find a place to sit.


    "Lu Feng, once this zombie reaches the Middle Yellow Stage, it will be very hard to deal with. I really wonder how we are going to deal with the Zombie General at the end of the line?


    "Also, for the two floors below, won''t it be even more difficult for us to fight them?"


    Nestling against Lu Feng, Xu Yeyue said somewhat tiredly.


    Facing the continuous attacks from hundreds and thousands of Middle Yellow Stage experts, even Xu Yeyue who was an expert in Early Profound Stage had a deep sense of fatigue.


    "Yue''er, when we kill the zombies in the second hoop, you and Iron Arms Senior must protect your own safety. If it really comes down to it, you must return to the first hoop and rest for a while so that my Devilish God can take care of those zombies. Although killing them is a bit slow, it''s better for them to be alive than being injured by our own family."


    Lu Feng looked at Xu Yeyue''s exhausted appearance, and felt a bit of heartache.


    Xu Yeyue thought for a moment, then obediently nodded at Lu Feng, as if she was an obedient child.


    "Alright, you should rest here for a while. I''ll go and take down the first circle zombies and see if the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation can face the attacks from both sides at the same time."


    After rubbing Xu Yeyue''s hair, Lu Feng stood up and retrieved the twelve Formation Flag back, she walked towards the gap in the second circle.


    But Xu Yeyue did not rest, and stubbornly followed behind Lu Feng.


    Glancing at Xu Yeyue, who had followed along, Lu Feng did not say much.


    When she arrived at the gap on the second ring, Lu Feng immediately began setting up the formation.


    This time, the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation that Lu Feng had laid down occupied the entire gap and completely divided the second circle into two. He and Xu Yeyue stood shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the big array.


    Looking at this scene, Xu Yeyue couldn''t help but think back to the time when the two had just entered the valley. At that time, they had to face the endless amount of Sickle Armoured Beetle s, and only by relying on the defensive capabilities of this great formation was they able to endure.


    Of course, at that time, the level of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation was still low and Lu Feng was still concealing her true strength.


    Now that she looked at the seven mighty Devilish God s, Xu Yeyue also felt a sense of security.


    After the big array was set up, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue still faced in opposite directions and began to help the Devilish God kill the approaching zombies.


    After killing the zombies in the second circle, the two of them did not stop and went to the third circle. They laid down their Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation and started a new round of slaughter.


    After resting for a while, the two waited until all the True Yuan in their bodies had recovered before they stood up and arrived at the entrance to the eighth floor. They wanted to discuss how to deal with the Zombie General, whose strength was at the middle stage of the Earth Stage.


    "Die!"


    Just as the two of them approached the area where the eighth floor''s entrance was, a ray of light suddenly shot towards them.


    "Be careful!"


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue were both shocked, and immediately dodged to the side to avoid the ray of light.


    Without waiting for Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue to react, a figure that was much smaller than the Zombie General before, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. Raising the two daggers in her hands, she rushed towards them like a gust of wind.


    "Be careful Yue''er, this is a rare wind zombie. Its speed is extremely fast, and it isn''t as clumsy as the other zombies."


    When Lu Feng saw the zombie''s appearance, she was shocked. This kind of Wind Zombie was extremely difficult to deal with, not only was its body extremely nimble and fast, it was also very good at hiding its tracks. It was one of the best assassins.


    Against this kind of zombie, Lu Feng didn''t even have time to set up the array, nor was she able to catch the figure of the Zombie General.


    Ah!


    Xu Yeyue suddenly cried out in pain, the purple lightning sword in her hand quickly swept behind him, but did not harm even a hair of the Zombie General.


    Lu Feng looked towards Xu Yeyue, only to see that on Xu Yeyue''s left shoulder, there was a wound that was an inch long.


    "Yue Er, come to my side!"


    Lu Feng roared out, she had already captured the figure of the Zombie General at the corner of her eyes.


    The Zombie General''s figure flashed, avoiding Lu Feng''s Palm Lightning, and headed in another direction.


    Taking the chance, Xu Yeyue came to Lu Feng''s back and stood back to back with Lu Feng, vigilantly looking around for any movements.


    However, the Zombie General seemed to be quite afraid of Lu Feng''s thunder-attribute technique, and hid itself after dodging Lu Feng''s attack.


    "Yue''er, summon the Iron-armed Devilish Ape!"


    Lu Feng said in a serious tone.


    Against such an opponent who was good at concealment, he was even stronger than him. This gave Lu Feng a headache, and made him worry about Xu Yeyue''s safety once again.


    After thinking about it for a while, Lu Feng decided to let Xu Yeyue summon the Iron-armed Devilish Ape. The three of them would fight together, and she could take the opportunity to set up the array.


    Otherwise, it would be easy to die here today.

 C152

    Hearing Lu Feng''s shout, Xu Yeyue summoned the Iron-armed Devilish Ape.


    But the moment Iron-armed Devilish Ape appeared, the Zombie General suddenly appeared behind him, and kicked at Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s back, causing him to be kicked far away from where Lu Feng and the others were.


    "Iron Arms Senior, be careful!"


    Seeing the Zombie General waving its two daggers and launching attacks at Iron-armed Devilish Ape, Lu Feng bellowed. He did not stay idle either, continuously sending out a few Thunder-Palms.


    As Xu Yeyue saw this, she also quickly used Thunder Palm to chase after the figure of the Zombie General, continuously using it.


    After receiving help from Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue, Iron-armed Devilish Ape finally understood the situation. After stabilizing himself, he raised the greatsword in his hand and slashed towards the Zombie General.


    However, the Zombie General''s movement was too fluid and erratic. Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s powerful and heavy strikes basically did not harm the Zombie General in the slightest, and all landed on empty space.


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue''s Thunder Palm also missed.


    In the current situation, with Lu Feng and Lu Feng together, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was separated very far away from them by the Zombie General, making it impossible for them to form effective support.


    Fortunately, the Zombie General seemed to have felt the threat from Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s body and did not take action against Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue at the moment.


    Although the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was only one small level lower than the Zombie General, it was still one of the hard fighting techniques. Facing this kind of extremely fast opponent, it suffered quite a bit.


    If not for the fact that Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue''s Palm Lightning continued to harass the Zombie General, then the current Iron-armed Devilish Ape might already be injured by the Zombie General.


    Lu Feng wanted to bring Xu Yeyue to meet with the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, but just as her body moved, the Zombie General seemed to have sensed his presence and quickly appeared in front of him.


    "Come at me!"


    Lu Feng growled, raising the Crimson Nimbus Sword in her hands, she struck towards the Zombie General''s dagger.


    "Clang!"


    In a flash of sparks, Lu Feng had already clashed with the Zombie General.


    Although Lu Feng successfully blocked one of the Zombie General''s attacks, she suffered from a cultivation level that was far too inferior. It was two full levels, and no matter how many True Yuan there were, or how strong they were, they were still far inferior to the Zombie General.


    As a result, under this strike, Lu Feng felt a sweetness in his throat, she immediately channeled her energy and forcefully suppressed the blood that was in his throat.


    After disdainfully glancing at Lu Feng, the Zombie General did not stop at all as it turned around and charged towards Iron-armed Devilish Ape.


    Sensing that Lu Feng had just barely hit him, Xu Yeyue immediately asked: "Lu Feng, are you injured?"


    Lu Feng took out a Small Revitalizing Pellet and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "Yue''er, don''t worry, I just exchanged a blow with that Zombie General, it''s not as strong as you think.


    Oh right, Yue''er, you have already recognized a Wood Spirit Pearl. Can you hide inside it yourself? "


    Lu Feng consoled Xu Yeyue with a few words, suddenly thinking of the Wood Spirit Pearl''s miraculous effects, and immediately told Xu Yeyue.


    Xu Yeyue was startled, she had never considered this question before.


    "Lu Feng, I''ll try."


    Saying that, Xu Yeyue''s figure suddenly disappeared.


    In the next moment, Lu Feng sensed that about three meters in front of him, there was a Spiritual Sense s that were vaguely exploring. Immediately after, Xu Yeyue''s figure suddenly appeared there.


    "Lu Feng, I really can enter the Wood Spirit Pearl, and, when I think of it, as long as I release a sliver of the Spiritual Sense, I can easily appear anywhere within the reach of the Spiritual Sense."


    Xu Yeyue said in high spirits.


    "Alright, Yue Er, hurry up and hide inside the Wood Spirit Pearl, I''m going to support the Iron Arms Senior."


    Lu Feng knew that the situation was urgent, so she did not want to talk too much with Xu Yeyue.


    Xu Yeyue looked at it. Because the current Iron-armed Devilish Ape had lost the support of Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue, under the all-pervasive attacks of the Zombie General, he was already struggling on his left and right side, and quite a few wounds had appeared on his body.


    Xu Yeyue knew that she was no match for the Zombie General. She couldn''t even catch the figure of the Zombie General.


    "Lu Feng, take care!"


    Muttering to himself, Xu Yeyue''s figure disappeared at the end of the seventh floor.


    There was no need to worry about Xu Yeyue''s safety anymore, Lu Feng unleashed all of her speed, waving her own Crimson Nimbus Sword, Lu Feng followed behind the Zombie General and continuously harassed its attacks. From time to time, she also released a few lightning type techniques, delaying the attacks of the Zombie General.


    Although it was beneath Lu Feng''s strength, the Zombie General still feared Lu Feng''s Thunder Palm. That thing had a numbing effect on it, which allowed it to win with speed, although the effect was minuscule, it would still cause serious consequences if it were to slow down for a moment.


    As a result, when the Zombie General attacked the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, it would have to allocate a portion of its energy to watch Lu Feng''s movements.


    There were several times when the Zombie General wanted to suddenly attack, and tried to deal a heavy blow to Lu Feng.


    Lu Feng herself also knew that she was far from being a match for the Zombie General. Other than lightning magic which could cause the Zombie General to be paralyzed, the effect of the Crimson Nimbus Sword in his hands was almost negligible.


    Therefore, Lu Feng''s fighting technique, was to leave as soon as she touched her. After launching one attack, she would immediately move, and would not slow down her movements at all.


    In that moment, both sides fell into a stalemate. Zombie General s were unable to quickly kill the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, and Lu Feng and the Iron-armed Devilish Ape were also unable to repel the Zombie General.


    After the time it took for an incense to burn, Lu Feng suddenly thought of a plan, and sound transmitted to Iron-armed Devilish Ape: "Iron Arms Senior, how good are your resistance to thunder and lightning?"


    Iron-armed Devilish Ape was startled for a moment and then sent a sound transmission to Lu Feng: "I didn''t specially cultivate this kind of technique, but if it''s the lightning techniques that you have right now, I basically won''t be able to create any effect."


    Lu Feng''s heart was set, "Iron Arms Senior, wait for me to find a chance. With you as the center, release a Mad Thunder Heavenly Prison and you can seize the chance to catch the Zombie General. I want to set up the formation. "


    With regards to the long battle with the Zombie General, Iron-armed Devilish Ape was also a little anxious. He agreed to Lu Feng''s suggestion without hesitation.


    Immediately, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape threw away the big sword in his hand, reached out with his two large hands, and started entangling with the Zombie General s.


    After dozens of moves, taking advantage of the opportunity the Iron-armed Devilish Ape had taken to grab a dagger from the Zombie General, Lu Feng bellowed: "Mad Thunder Heavenly Prison!"

 C153

    Following Lu Feng''s loud shout, a ball of lightning suddenly appeared where Iron-armed Devilish Ape was grabbing onto the Zombie General''s dagger. It quickly enlarged and completely enveloped the region, including the Iron-armed Devilish Ape and the Zombie General.


    Even though the Zombie General had reached the middle stage of the Earth Stage, it still could not help but be paralyzed by the sudden attack of the lightning ball. One must know, lightning was basically the natural nemesis of zombie creatures.


    Taking the chance, Lu Feng released 12 Formation Flag s, both of her hands quickly formed hand seals, preparing to set up the array before the Zombie General broke out of its predicament.


    "Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, rise!"


    Following Lu Feng''s explosive shout, the twelve Formation Flag quickly grew in size, and then disappeared into the sky. Seven Devilish God with powerful auras had already appeared within the large formation.


    "Break!"


    Just as Lu Feng''s voice fell, a sudden explosive shout came from the electric ball in the array, following that, with a loud ''bang'', the electric ball was smashed into pieces, revealing the figure of the Zombie General, who was holding onto a dagger with both hands, while Iron-armed Devilish Ape retreated weakly to the side.


    Lu Feng''s heart moved, she released a technique, causing a Formation Flag to suddenly appear behind Iron-armed Devilish Ape. The flag surface extended out and wrapped around the Iron-armed Devilish Ape''s waist, and brought it out of the array, following that, the Formation Flag once again entered the void.


    At this time, the black smoke from the array completely covered the figures of the Devilish God and Zombie General. From the sound from inside, the Zombie General must have already started fighting with the Devilish God.


    However, Devilish God s were originally one with the formation, and the black smoke was released from the formation to trap and disturb the enemy. It naturally did not affect the Devilish God in any way, and instead made them feel like fish in water.


    On the contrary, when the Zombie General entered the array, its every move was completely perceived by Lu Feng and the Devilish God, leaving no place for it to hide.


    At this moment, the situation had reversed, and Lu Feng held the absolute advantage.


    The Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation stood up, and Xu Yeyue''s figure appeared beside Lu Feng.


    Just now, even though Xu Yeyue was forced to hide within the Wood Spirit Pearl, how could she not be worried about the situation outside?


    Thus, Xu Yeyue''s wisp of Spiritual Sense continued to float outside, constantly paying attention to the scene''s movements.


    Seeing that Lu Feng had finally finished arranging the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, Xu Yeyue knew that the extremely fast Zombie General had already entered the countdown to death. Her side was now completely safe.


    Therefore, Xu Yeyue immediately appeared beside Lu Feng.


    Seeing Xu Yeyue''s appearance, Lu Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Yue''er, watch the changes in the formation. I''ll deal with my injuries with Iron Arms Senior."


    With that, Lu Feng formed a hand sign, allowing the scene in the array to become clear, leaving Xu Yeyue to take care of things, while she sat down with the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, and started to tend to her injuries.


    This battle, to Lu Feng and the others, could be said to be extremely dangerous. There was even the slightest mistake, and the two of them would die here today.


    Now that she had trapped the Zombie General, Xu Yeyue was unscathed, but her Iron-armed Devilish Ape s were covered in injuries.


    As for Lu Feng, after clashing with the Zombie General for so long, she had almost vomited blood. Although she had eaten a Small Revitalizing Pellet, she didn''t have enough time to digest the medicinal power.


    Therefore, Lu Feng had to quickly heal his injuries, otherwise, his injuries would get worse.


    After looking at Lu Feng with concern for him, Xu Yeyue forcefully suppressed her worry and started to concentrate on observing the changes in the array.


    At this time, the seven Devilish God had already formed a circle, blocking the Zombie General inside. They did not give the Zombie General any chance to display their advantage in speed, and waved the heavy weapons in their hands, continuing to attack the Zombie General.


    As for the Zombie General, after losing the advantage of concealing its presence, its speed was also restricted. However, its strength was still much higher than the Devilish God s, and the attacks of the Devilish God s did not cause it much damage. Instead, its counterattack, for the Devilish God s, was still somewhat unstoppable.


    However, the Devilish God were formed from the evil energy of the array, they did not have any feelings, nor did they have any feelings, they were immortal and indestructible existences.


    As a result, the fighting style of the Devilish God were always the more outspoken ones, and they did not care about their own casualties at all. Even if they were torn to pieces by the enemy, it would only take a few breaths of time before they could agglomerate once again at the Formation Flag''s place.


    As time passed, the Zombie General''s aura became weaker and weaker. It had also killed all of the Devilish God more than once.


    "It''s still too slow!"


    A sigh suddenly sounded out in Xu Yeyue''s ears.


    Hearing the voice, Xu Yeyue looked over, to see that Lu Feng had already recovered from her injuries, and once again walked back to her side in high spirits.


    Xu Yeyue smiled sweetly at Lu Feng, who said: "Lu Feng, what do we do now?"


    Lu Feng said: "Yue''er, I will control the array and quietly open a small crack. You use your purple lightning sword, I will use my Crimson Nimbus Sword, and enter the array together to launch an attack against the Zombie General.


    What do you think? "


    Xu Yeyue nodded without hesitation.


    Immediately, Lu Feng brandished her Crimson Nimbus Sword, bringing Xu Yeyue''s purple electric sword, transformed into a red and purple light, quickly reaching the top of the array, quickly entering into the array and attacking towards the Zombie General.


    After controlling the array to close the gap, Lu Feng once again used the Five Thunder Righteous Technique to harass the Zombie General.


    With the addition of Lu Feng and Lu Feng, the Zombie General''s situation became even worse.


    After Iron-armed Devilish Ape finished taking care of his injuries, he walked behind Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue and consciously acted as their protector.


    Within the large array, as the Zombie General had lost the advantage of concealing its presence, its perception was also being disturbed by the black smoke in the array.


    Although the Zombie General relied on its own powerful strength to easily break apart Lu Feng''s lightning ball or lightning pillar, it still suffered greatly in less than a second of time due to the paralysis.


    Every time the Zombie General was paralyzed, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue''s Longsword would fly to the side of the Zombie General and quickly stab it a few times.


    As for those Devilish God, they even brandished their weapons, taking the opportunity to smash at the Zombie General.


    The Zombie General wanted to get out of this predicament, but since it was inside the array, it couldn''t even find the direction, so how could it be so easy to get out?


    In the end, even after more than two hours, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue, with the help of the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, forcibly exhausted all of the Zombie General that were at the middle stage of the Earth Stage to death in the great formation.


    After absorbing the Zombie General''s fiendish aura and essence, the eighth Devilish God was about to be formed. As for the ninth Devilish God, it was also clearly visible.

 C154

    Looking at the twelve Formation Flag in Lu Feng''s hands, Xu Yeyue asked curiously: "Lu Feng, you already have eight of them, is the ninth one about to be formed as well?"


    Lu Feng smiled slightly and said: "Yeah, Yue''er, I believe that as long as we can take care of those zombies on the first circle in the eighth floor, this ninth Devilish God should be condensed out.


    However, the zombies on the eighth floor, your strength is as high as Late Yellow Stage, you''re a notch higher than me, and two small levels lower than you.


    "Lu Feng, it''s a good thing you have this formation this time. Otherwise, both of us would have died in this ninth floor''s Exquisite Tower."


    Xu Yeyue said somewhat sorrowfully.


    Lu Feng laughed, "Yue''er, since we have come here together, this will be our opportunity.


    The so-called Great Dao 50, Sky Spill 49.


    It''s impossible to put us in dire straits.


    It''s just as you said just now. The appearance of this array formation is perhaps our lucky chance. "


    With Lu Feng''s consoling, Xu Yeyue''s mood became a little better, and wasn''t as downcast as before.


    "En, Lu Feng, you should hurry up and recover. Let''s go up to the eighth floor to take a look."


    Xu Yeyue nodded strongly and said to Lu Feng.


    When Lu Feng had recovered all of her strength, the two of them snuggled up against each other and stepped into the entrance to the eighth floor together.


    Before this, Xu Yeyue had already consulted the Iron-armed Devilish Ape and once again accepted it as a Wood Spirit Pearl.


    After going up to the eighth floor, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue didn''t waste any more words, and directly arrived at the gap of the first ring. Lu Feng placed down the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation s, and started to unceasingly kill the zombies that were approaching them.


    Indeed, it was just as Lu Feng had said. Before the zombies at the first round ring could be killed, the ninth Devilish God had already been formed. The tenth Devilish God had also started to gather.


    After continuously cleaning out the zombies at the second and third circle, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue arrived at the end of the eighth level and saw the Zombie General that was already waiting there.


    The Zombie General at the end of this floor was the same as the previous layers. It was not like the seventh floor, where a wind element weirdo suddenly appeared and there was also this innate instinct to hide one''s presence.


    However, this Zombie General was no longer hiding in the shadows. It had been standing straight and upright in front of the gate to the ninth floor all this time. It held a huge sword in its hands, like a spear, and its long cloak fluttered behind it.


    But this Zombie General did not move at all, and just allowed Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue to kill all the zombies as they pleased.


    Facing such a zombie, although its strength was at the late stage of Earth Stage, under Lu Feng''s and Xu Yeyue''s joint effort, it was beheaded within the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation, and its body also became the nourishment of the Formation Flag.


    From beginning to end, the Zombie General never said a single word, and was completely beheaded.


    Following the disappearance of the Zombie General, the twelfth Devilish God officially appeared within the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation and reached the highest level currently.


    Especially those twelve Devilish God, when they were all gathered, their auras all surged up, directly reaching the Peak of Profound Stage stage. They jumped by a total of six small levels, which could be considered an unexpected surprise for them when they gathered.


    At this point, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue had already killed all the zombies in the ninth layer and below.


    But Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue were not in a rush to enter the ninth floor, and instead, entered their cultivation state at the end of the eighth floor.


    There was no other reason but that Lu Feng had reached the threshold of breaking through.


    Previously, he had already stayed at the middle stage of the Aurous Core Stage for a period of time. This time, he had killed such a large number of zombies, and after using up all of the True Yuan, he was able to reform and reform them again. This went on for a few times, and after completely refining the True Yuan, he would naturally advance to the next stage.


    After more than two hours of cultivation, with the help of the Pills, Lu Feng broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Aurous Core stage, completely stepping into the late stage of the Aurous Core stage, and was one step closer to the Nascent Soul stage.


    After breaking through, Lu Feng had completely mastered the fourth form of the Five Thunder Righteous Technique, the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique. She had also helped Xu Yeyue to cultivate the second and third form of the Five Thunder Righteous Technique.


    After making all her preparations, Lu Feng brought Xu Yeyue to the entrance of the ninth floor with a resolute expression.


    This time, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue did not appear at the center of the ninth floor. Instead, like the ordinary pagodas, they walked up the stairs from the eighth to ninth floors, step by step.


    Pushing open the door of the tower that was slightly ajar to the ninth floor, what entered into Lu Feng''s and her eyes was an empty hall. It wasn''t like the eighth floor below, where it was separated into circles.


    In the middle of the hall, there were two rows of burning lanterns. Dark green lights shone on a huge coffin placed in the middle of the hall.


    It was hard to tell what the coffin was made of, but even from such a distance, Lu Feng and the others could feel a ghastly cold aura coming from the coffin.


    However, other than the huge coffin that was illuminated by the lamp, there was not even a single zombie on the ninth floor. It was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying.


    "Lu Feng, why is this place so gloomy?"


    Xu Yeyue couldn''t help but shiver, and unconsciously moved closer to Lu Feng.


    "Yue''er, this should be where Sikong Caizhi''s bones are buried.


    If my guess is right, the thing placed inside the huge coffin should be Sikong Caizhi''s corpse, or perhaps the zombie body could be more accurate. "


    Lu Feng looked at the scenery of the hall and said to Xu Yeyue.


    "Lu Feng, why is there not a single person inside?


    Shouldn''t there be a group of zombies at the peak of the Yellow Stage here? "


    Xu Yeyue grabbed Lu Feng''s arm, and asked with some suspicions.


    This question was also what Lu Feng was curious about. According to what she had seen before, this Sikong Caizhi was definitely an evil looking executioner who had both of his hands stained with blood.


    From the fact that he had refined so many corpses and some of his subordinates into indestructible zombies, it could be seen that he had an evil nature.


    According to common sense, beside Sikong Caizhi''s coffin, there should at least be a group of his personal bodyguards.


    However, the ninth floor was now empty and devoid of even the shadow of a zombie. This was truly a bit unimaginable.


    "Yue Er, I also feel that there are many things I don''t understand.


    In this way, we''ll be on full alert. We''ll enter the ninth floor first before we act rashly.


    Remember, when the time comes, you can hide inside the Wood Spirit Pearl. I have my own ways of protecting my life. "


    Since she had already reached this step, Lu Feng would definitely not cower, but she was still very concerned about Xu Yeyue''s safety.


    "En!"


    Xu Yeyue nodded her head, let go of Lu Feng''s arm, and took out her three weapons, carefully entering the ninth floor of Exquisite Tower along with Lu Feng who was carrying the Crimson Nimbus Sword.

 C155

    "Clang!"


    Just as Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue stepped onto the ground of the ninth floor, a loud noise came from behind.


    The two of them turned around and saw that the pagoda''s door had closed behind them. The loud noise that they had heard just now was from the pagoda''s door.


    "Yue Er, be careful!"


    In the face of an unknown danger, Lu Feng''s heart tightened. She had a bad premonition and promptly warned Xu Yeyue.


    Xu Yeyue brandished her left blade and right whip, placing the half immortal purple electric sword above his head, she placed the Spiritual Sense at its largest, vigilantly looking around to prevent any sudden changes in her surroundings. In response to Lu Feng''s warning, she did not even have time to reply, she only nodded his head.


    As he got closer and closer to the huge coffin, Lu Feng''s heart felt even more depressed.


    "This is bad!" Yue''er, quickly retreat! "


    A possibility suddenly flashed through Lu Feng''s mind, she immediately pulled Xu Yeyue back and retreated.


    However, the situation suddenly changed.


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue had just retreated for a short distance, when continuous sounds came out, and more than ten white figures suddenly rushed out from the two sides of the coffin, surrounding Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue.


    "Little brother, since you''ve come, don''t be in such a hurry to leave!"


    A cold, yet incomparably flirtatious voice rang out.


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue stopped in their tracks and looked around.


    He saw that twelve white clothed women had already surrounded the two of them.


    These women were all dressed in white, and in their hands they carried Longsword s which radiated light. Judging from their bodies, their figures were not bad, the larger areas were bigger, the smaller areas were smaller, and the larger ones were smaller.


    When he looked at his face again, besides his face being ghastly pale and without a trace of blood, he had a picturesque appearance, as if he was still alive, only that there was a slight lack of liveliness.


    Seeing this, Lu Feng understood that those who could appear here were definitely Sikong Caizhi''s trusted aides.


    However, from the looks of it, this Sikong Caizhi was also a suspicious person. Beside his coffin, the guardians were not any of his guards or subordinates, but twelve exquisite women.


    There was no doubt that these women were all Sikong Caizhi''s personal bodyguards, or even the people sitting on the pillow.


    He never thought that after Sikong Caizhi died, these beauties would all become zombies, protecting him for a long time.


    Combined with the Zombie General from the first level, Wang Meng, they had once said that they would capture Xu Yeyue as Sikong Caizhi''s side room. From this, it wasn''t hard to see that Sikong Caizhi should also be a lecherous fellow.


    "Everyone, you have always been protecting Sikong Caizhi, and also the most powerful group of zombies. I believe that when you were alive, you still had some memories, right?


    I just want to ask, with your peerless beauty, are you willing to be the accomplice of a tiger and help your enemy, Sikong Caizhi, to deal with us? "


    These twelve Beautiful Zombie were all at the peak of Yellow Stage. They should be the guardian zombies of the ninth floor, just that their numbers were a little less.


    However, when she saw the positions of the twelve Beautiful Zombie standing and how they faintly formed a formation, Lu Feng could not help but start to worry.


    "Hehe, little brother, we do indeed have a portion of our memories from when we were alive, and we also know about Sikong Caizhi''s evil deeds that you spoke of.


    As for you all, according to Master''s instructions, you must be completely annihilated.


    However, we will not destroy your body, because your body is still needed to revive your master.


    As for the girl beside you, she might become one of us.


    Now, do you have any last words? If there is one, please tell it as soon as possible. "


    The leading Beautiful Zombie laughed twice and said to Lu Feng.


    However, no matter how beautiful the zombie was, it was still a zombie. That laughter, even though it was called a lovable laughter, in reality, sounded very frightening.


    Hearing the Beautiful Zombie say that, Lu Feng''s face turned cold. Indeed, in the end, she still had to fight a round before victory could be determined.


    "Everyone, from what I see, you are not the kind of people who do not differentiate between good and evil, who help the evil and oppress others, why not change your mind and turn back into a different person, and even reincarnate into a new life, why do you need to be imprisoned inside this zombie''s body, accompanying Sikong Caizhi''s corpse day and night?"


    Lu Feng still did not give up. She was still making her last bit of effort, hoping that these Beautiful Zombie would change their minds and repent.


    However, whether Lu Feng''s efforts were effective or not was another story entirely.


    "Yes, my sisters, my husband''s words are very reasonable."


    You all belong to the victims that were always oppressed by Sikong Caizhi. After death, you were even refined into zombies by Sikong Caizhi, so you are unable to reincarnate.


    In my opinion, it would be better for you to withdraw from the formation and let us go to annihilate the evil origin of Sikong Caizhi.


    Seeing Lu Feng''s efforts, although Xu Yeyue did not know what he was trying to do, but she still helped to persuade the Beautiful Zombie.


    "Little girl, from our heart, we really want to do as you say, but when we were turned into zombies, we were already injected with absolute loyalty.


    Therefore, the current us cannot control ourselves. We can only follow orders and attack you.


    Little sister, in the end, no matter if you kill us, or if we kill you here, we will have no complaints. I also hope that after your death, your souls will not hate us poor people.


    Perhaps, this is the fate of us all. "


    The leading Beautiful Zombie also helplessly said to Xu Yeyue.


    "Elder sister, is it possible that Sikong Caizhi''s secret technique does not have a solution?"


    Xu Yeyue said anxiously.


    The Beautiful Zombie laughed mournfully and said: "Little girl, do you think that Sikong Caizhi will tell us the secret method?


    Even if we know of the existence of a secret technique, there''s no way we can find it! "


    "Humph, it''s just a tiny zombie soul art, if you want to break it, what difficulties will you face?"


    Lu Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, she could not help but snort and spoke in a low voice.


    "Young master can break this zombie''s soul binding technique?"


    Lu Feng''s words stunned all the Beautiful Zombie present. The one leading them asked in disbelief.


    "Of course it can be broken!


    Only it might take a little longer.


    But I guarantee that I will be able to completely separate your souls from this current body and let you reincarnate.


    I just don''t know what you think. "


    Lu Feng said indifferently.


    Just now, Lu Feng suddenly recalled that she had seen this kind of evil art in her previous life, and roughly knew the way to break it, which was why she said it out loud without any hesitation.


    "Young master, we are willing!"


    The twelve Beautiful Zombie impatiently said.


    "Humph!" Don''t you think it''s a little late to betray us now? "


    Just as the Beautiful Zombie were getting excited, an ice-cold voice suddenly came out.

 C156

    "Gongzi, hurry up and trap us first!"


    Hearing that ice-cold voice, the twelve Beautiful Zombie started to panic, and the one in the lead started to scream.


    Of course, as zombies, no matter how panicked they were, their expressions were still stiff, unable to make any changes.


    "Don''t panic, you two gather together first!"


    Lu Feng also knew that the owner of the ice-cold voice should be without a doubt Sikong Caizhi''s devil. She promptly shouted loudly, allowing the Beautiful Zombie to gather together.


    Since this group of Beautiful Zombie wanted to show kindness, Lu Feng felt that it was necessary to give them a chance.


    Besides, he had also told the Beautiful Zombie that he would help them decipher the Soul Restraining Law and release their souls so that they could reincarnate.


    Regarding this, Lu Feng did not want to break her promise.


    Receiving Lu Feng''s reminder, those flustered and flustered Beautiful Zombie immediately ran over to the side of the Beautiful Zombie that was leading the group. Their bodies were trembling a little as they gathered into a ball.


    From this, it could also be seen how much of a trauma Sikong Caizhi had caused in the depths of their hearts.


    Seeing that the Beautiful Zombie s had gathered, Lu Feng threw out the twelve Formation Flag s that she had been holding in her hands.


    This time, the twelve Formation Flag did not once again enter into the void. Instead, they directly revealed themselves.


    Pulling Xu Yeyue''s hand, Lu Feng threw herself into the great formation, and then looked towards the huge coffin.


    Under the dark green light, the lid of the huge coffin silently slid to the side and a rustling sound came out from the coffin.


    And a monstrous infernal energy began to fill the entire ninth floor. Even the temperature seemed to drop several degrees, causing people to feel a chill run down their spines.


    A shriveled hand, which was wrapped under an armor, suddenly grabbed the side of the coffin. The sound inside also became even more violent.


    It was very obvious that what was inside this huge coffin was definitely Sikong Caizhi, the final BOSS. Right now, the situation was that Sikong Caizhi was about to appear, and the only thing he did not know was why his speed was so slow.


    "That damned binding!


    "Break for me!"


    Sikong Caizhi who was inside the coffin seemed to be impatient, and he suddenly bellowed.


    Following Sikong Caizhi''s explosive shout, the huge coffin suddenly exploded, and the shattered pieces swept across the entire ninth floor of the Exquisite Tower.


    and Xu Yeyue who were inside the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation saw countless pieces of wood flying around, smashing into the big array, causing ripples in the big array space.


    After the dust settled, a tall figure appeared in the place where the coffin had been.


    He was nearly three meters tall, and his build was tall and sturdy. On his head was a phoenix morning sun and night light helmet, and he wore a large purplish-gold leaf armor, a large, dark cloak fluttering behind him.


    Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue both knew in their hearts that this mighty general should be that beast''s heart with a human face like Sikong Caizhi.


    But what made the two of them curious was that Sikong Caizhi had nothing in his hands, and did not take any weapons. This did not match with his status as a general in the army.


    It was probably because there was some sort of restriction inside the original coffin. Although Sikong Caizhi had broken out from his confinement, he stood at his original position without moving, and his head was lowered as well.


    Ah!


    After a long while, Sikong Caizhi finally slowly raised his head, and a low and hoarse roar came from his throat.


    Inside the large array, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue could only wait quietly, and see if there were any movements in Sikong Caizhi''s next step. This was because Lu Feng could clearly feel that the aura on Sikong Caizhi''s body was extremely obscure and hard to determine the exact level of his strength.


    However, Lu Feng also knew that on the eighth floor, the Zombie General had already reached the strength of late stage Earth Stage. As the ultimate existence, Sikong Caizhi''s strength was definitely not weaker than those Zombie General.


    Sikong Caizhi slowly raised his head, and it was only now that Lu Feng could clearly see this fellow''s appearance.


    Although he had already become a zombie, Sikong Caizhi''s face still retained the grace of a living corpse, and was not as sinister and terrifying as that of a low ranked zombie.


    Honestly speaking, this Sikong Caizhi was also considered a handsome man. Combined with his tall and sturdy body, it was very easy to capture a beautiful woman''s heart. However, his pair of eyes was a little too narrow and long, giving him a feminine air.


    Ah!


    After letting out a long sigh, Sikong Caizhi no longer paid any attention to the Twelve Celestial Immortals Fiends Formation in front of him and continued to sigh to himself, "Is this the feeling of freedom?


    How long has it been?


    It seems to be a thousand years, right?


    I, Sikong Caizhi, have once again stood on this piece of land.


    Unfortunately, the zombie transformation was interrupted before he could reach the highest level.


    "What a pity."


    In the end, Sikong Caizhi''s voice was so low it could not be heard. It was unknown what he was reminiscing about.


    After lamenting for a long time, Sikong Caizhi finally turned his gaze towards Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue who were inside the big array.


    "Are you two youngsters the ones that have come to disturb this general''s long slumber?"


    Sikong Caizhi''s low and cold voice sounded out again, but the target was Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue.


    "Looking at the clothes on Senior''s body, it should be the general''s attire before Azure Dragon Empire.


    Could it be that Senior is a general of my Azure Dragon Empire who buried his bones here after his death? "


    Without waiting for Lu Feng to speak, Xu Yeyue spoke first.


    "Heh heh, little girl, you are ridiculous enough!


    To be able to reach the ninth floor of the Exquisite Tower, this general doesn''t believe that you don''t know this general''s true identity.


    That was not what the brat said when he tried to persuade the twelve female guards of this general to rebel! "


    Sikong Caizhi said condescendingly to Xu Yeyue as if the big picture was in her hands.


    But Xu Yeyue didn''t feel like she had been exposed, she waved her hand and said: "Alright, alright, I admit, I know you are Sikong Caizhi and I also know that you are training in the zombie secret technique.


    I just wonder, what are you going to do after you''ve completed your training?


    Is it really as your subordinate said, that you are preparing to return to the continent and fight for the imperial power?


    Don''t you think that as a zombie, no one will obey you? "


    "Someone told you that Ben will return to the continent?


    Ben General knew, it must be Wang Meng.


    That guy used to be a long-tongued woman and was extremely annoying. However, this general had always been loyal to him, which was why he arranged for his weak strength to be placed in the first level of Exquisite Tower as this general''s first guard.


    From the looks of it now, that fellow should have already died in your hands, right?


    At least you have shown your loyalty to this general! "


    Sikong Caizhi faintly described a great deal of things, but it seemed that the death of his opponent did not cause him the slightest bit of grief.

 C157

    "That''s right, that Wang Meng had indeed died in our hands, and completely turned into ashes.


    Not only him, even your other generals of the seventh floor have all been killed by us. "


    Lu Feng said to Sikong Caizhi fearlessly.


    "Hehe, young man, you have quite the courage. In front of this general, you directly killed several generals of this general. Aren''t you afraid of bearing this general''s anger?"


    Lu Feng laughed indifferently, and said: "What is there to be afraid of? In any case, she had already done it since she didn''t want to do it. It was only right for him to bear the consequences of her actions.


    I just wonder if you, General Sikong Caizhi, can take revenge for those trash of yours? "


    "Hahaha!"


    Hearing Lu Feng''s words, Sikong Caizhi laughed out loud. It was just that the voice was too hoarse, like a broken gong, it was extremely unpleasant to listen to.


    "Brat, the ignorant is fearless. You have the elegance of a general back then.


    Alright, let''s not talk about those useless things anymore. If those trash died, so be it.


    "Now, I wonder if you would be interested to hear what Ben has to say. How did he go from a general that everyone loves to an undying zombie?"


    Sikong Caizhi looked at Lu Feng with great interest, and then said something that caused Lu Feng and the others to be shocked. This fellow actually wanted to tell them about his past.


    "Since General Sikong is interested, we naturally have to listen attentively."


    Lu Feng replied as she pulled Xu Yeyue and sat down cross-legged inside the formation, quietly waiting for Sikong Caizhi to finish.


    Sikong Caizhi maintained his lofty posture, only raising his head to look at the endless space, as though thinking of where to begin.


    "I, Sikong Caizhi, had the title of being a genius when I was young. My talent was excellent, and before the age of twenty, I had already reached the cultivation of Late Yellow Stage.


    "Later on, I would have joined the army and started fighting for my country."


    Hearing Sikong Caizhi''s hoarse voice, Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue roughly understood some of the things that Sikong Caizhi had done in the past.


    When Sikong Caizhi was thirty-five years old, he had already reached the position of the great general of Azure Dragon Empire.


    The change happened while Sikong Caizhi was leading his troops out to battle.


    At that time, Sikong Caizhi led the army to resist the invasion of the neighboring countries, which also happened to be the Vermillion Bird Empire.


    During the march, by chance, Sikong Caizhi found a hidden treasure land.


    It was said that when Sikong Caizhi was leading his troops to attack, he saw a golden light shining in the sky late one evening. Under his curiosity, he went to check it out.


    After finding the source of the golden light, Sikong Caizhi did not rush in. Instead, he made a mark and personally drew a map.


    However, after defeating the enemy and calming down the chaos at the border, Sikong Caizhi''s heart started to stir. That was clearly the secret realm, and it kept appearing in his heart like a cat scratching its heart, causing him to be unable to restrain his desire any longer.


    Finally, after Sikong Caizhi had settled down the army, he left the camp by himself and once again went to the place that was emitting golden light.


    But when Sikong Caizhi arrived at the place, no matter what, he could not find the entrance to the secret grounds, and there was no longer any golden light projecting out of that place.


    After searching repeatedly for more than half a month, just as Sikong Caizhi was about to lose his patience, the night of the fifteenth moon had arrived.


    Sikong Caizhi was a little cautious by nature, but to put it bluntly, it was because he was a little suspicious.


    Seeing such a strange sight, Sikong Caizhi did not rush out to investigate, but waited quietly instead.


    After a while, the silver glow suddenly disappeared.


    Sikong Caizhi was not in a hurry either, calmly waiting. He firmly believed that the golden and silver splendor would appear once again.


    Indeed, on the evening of the second day, which was the sixteenth, Sikong Caizhi once again saw the scattering golden light that filled the sky.


    By this point, Sikong Caizhi was sure that there was a treasure buried underground. This golden light and silver radiance were all caused by the treasure absorbing the sun and moon essences.


    Sikong Caizhi decided not to wait anymore. While the treasure was absorbing the sunlight, he would enter the secret grounds to check out the situation.


    Immediately, Sikong Caizhi carefully arrived at the origin of the golden light. He entered a mystical place through a narrow cave that had appeared out of nowhere.


    Inside, Sikong Caizhi''s cultivation had increased by a lot, and in one fell swoop, he broke through the Heaven Stage, becoming one of the few Heaven Stage Expert s with such a high level of cultivation.


    Most importantly, Sikong Caizhi obtained two items inside, all of which were treasures that had a profound impact on him in the future.


    One of them was the Nine Layer Linglong Treasure Pagoda. However, according to Sikong Caizhi, at that time the Exquisite Tower was not in the shape of a pagoda, but more like a hammer.


    Hearing that, Lu Feng''s heart skipped a beat, but her expression did not change at all, and she continued to maintain her listening posture, listening to what Sikong Caizhi was saying.


    The other one was a jade slip, which recorded a cultivation technique, the Zombie Transformation that Sikong Caizhi was currently training in.


    Through that jade slip, Sikong Caizhi found out that the person who left this technique was an ancient almighty being.


    The almighty being himself cultivated in the evil way, and by chance, he obtained the hammer-like treasure. Through his refinement, the small hammer was refined into a strange treasure that complemented his training in the zombie form, which was also the next nine levels of Exquisite Tower.


    However, the ancient elder had mentioned it in the jade slip. Although he knew that the small hammer had a great origin, it was limited to individual abilities, so he was unable to figure out its use. That was why he spent so much effort and refined the small hammer into a set of Exquisite Tower, which was extremely useful to him with countless heaven and earth treasures.


    Afterwards, under the pursuit of his enemies, that almighty being escaped to this place, and knowing that he was going to die, he found a place to leave the cultivation methods he learned from his Exquisite Tower, hoping that some fated person would inherit his dao and expand his zombie transformation.


    After obtaining these two things, Sikong Caizhi was curious and attempted to cultivate the zombie transformation cultivation technique for a while, but to his surprise, he discovered that the technique was extremely wondrous, and the effects were even more miraculous. It could actually allow a person, when dying, to transform themselves into a zombie, and with the help of the formation inside the Exquisite Tower, they would be able to hibernate for a period of time.


    Zombie transformation, this'' change ''referred to the changes between these states.


    Moreover, this kind of transformation could be maintained nine times. After nine times, one''s strength would reach the level of a peerless Supreme Elder at the ninth level of the Primordius, ready to break through the void at any time and enter a higher level of existence.

 C158

    Seeing this, Sikong Caizhi was overjoyed. He immediately started to practice the zombie transformation technique without hesitation.


    One of the problems that must be mentioned here was the longevity of a cultivator, which was also known as longevity.


    According to what Sikong Caizhi said, and Lu Feng''s own understanding, the lifespan of the cultivators in Tian Yuan Continent was directly proportional to her own strength.


    Body refining stage cultivator only has a lifespan of a hundred years, upon reaching the Peak of Innate Stage, he would be only two hundred years old, with the Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow stages respectively corresponding to four hundred years, three hundred years, three hundred years, and two hundred and fifty years. After entering the Primordius, the situation would be slightly better, and every step could basically increase the lifespan of a hundred years, but a mixed element ninth stage expert''s lifespan would only be one thousand and three hundred years.


    Therefore, this sort of immortal cultivation technique, to many cultivators, had a huge temptation.


    When Sikong Caizhi first started cultivating this technique, there was a large part to it.


    When Sikong Caizhi cultivated to a certain realm, then began to refine the blackish-yellow small hammer, the small hammer''s outer appearance had completely changed, becoming a small, exquisite nine-level pagoda, which was also the current Exquisite Tower.


    Only now did Sikong Caizhi remember that he had been out for a long time already, and he had to rush back to the army as soon as possible. Otherwise, if an army did not have a general for a long time, it would cause a huge commotion.


    Immediately, Sikong Caizhi brought his harvest and left the secret grounds, returning to the army.


    However, Sikong Caizhi had left the army far too long ago, and it had been three whole months before and after that.


    When this matter reached the Emperor of Azure Dragon Empire, the Emperor was furious and wanted to punish Sikong Caizhi for it.


    It was fortunate that Sikong Caizhi had joined the army for so many years, that his contacts within the army could still be used. Under the protection of several forces, he was eventually reduced to the level of the City Lord of Heavenly Star City, guarding the Heavenly Star City and assisting in the defense of the Vermillion Bird Empire in the southeast direction.


    At that time, Sikong Caizhi was no longer thinking about leading his troops to war, but rather, the king had downgraded him to a local official, which happened to fulfill his wish.


    After the Heavenly Star City took over, Sikong Caizhi''s personality greatly changed. He changed from a righteous and strict great general to a corrupt and overbearing official.


    In the past few years, the City Master, Sikong Caizhi had plundered a large amount of wealth, and also caused the entire region of Heavenly Star City to become desolate, and filled with grievances.


    In reality, amassing money was not Sikong Caizhi''s final goal. His true goal was to make use of this wealth to force the commoners under his rule to rebel. This way, he could use this opportunity to eliminate the traitors and gather a large amount of corpses to prepare for his future zombies.


    As the saying goes, when an official forces the people to rebel, the people have no choice but to rebel.


    Under Sikong Caizhi''s forcible appearance, the citizens of Heavenly Star City who were about to die, finally had people who stood up to resist.


    With someone taking the lead, naturally there would be some who responded. In an instant, many people within the boundaries of the Heavenly Star City rose up, especially those cultivators with cultivation bases, who were the main force in this wave of rebellion.


    This time, Sikong Caizhi was extremely happy, he started to lead the City Guard, and in all directions, the judge took the chance to collect all the large number of corpses, and stored them all in the Exquisite Tower.


    The Heavenly Star City was in complete chaos, and it shook the entire field. Sikong Caizhi''s actions also gradually had the tendency to leak out.


    But right at this time, the Vermillion Bird Empire unintentionally did a huge favor for Sikong Caizhi.


    The Azure Dragon Empire region was in chaos, so naturally, they obtained the corresponding information. In their opinion, this was a good opportunity to send out troops and Azure Dragon Empire.


    Therefore, Vermillion Bird Empire had gathered several hundred thousand troops and dispatched Heavenly Star City, preparing to completely acquire the ownership of this area.


    In the face of the enemy nation''s thirst for territory, the Azure Dragon Empire Emperor would naturally not send them off with cupped hands. Instead, he quickly gathered an army to retaliate against the invasion of the Vermillion Bird Empire.


    At the same time, the emperor also deeply felt that his treatment of Sikong Caizhi before was a bit too hasty. This fellow was simply not suited for governing areas, and the disaster caused by the invasion of Vermillion Bird Empire this time was even more directly caused by him.


    Initially, the Emperor had wanted to get rid of Sikong Caizhi directly, but after thinking about his many years of achievements, he wanted to give him another chance to achieve merits.


    Thus, the Emperor gave an order for Sikong Caizhi to join the border guards to defend against the invasion of the Vermillion Bird Empire.


    Speaking of Sikong Caizhi, he was indeed a fighting genius.


    On the battlefield, it was also a great opportunity for him to retract his corpse. Whether it was the soldiers on his side or on his opponent''s side, they were all cultivators with cultivation bases. This would be of greater use to his zombie transformation.


    Therefore, Sikong Caizhi fought valiantly on the battlefield, always charging in front and leading his soldiers to victory after victory, until the army that had invaded by the Vermillion Bird Empire was chased out of the country.


    However, Sikong Caizhi did not stop there. At that time, he had once again become the general of an army, and under his suggestion, the commander at the front line agreed to let him lead his troops to pursue the Vermillion Bird Empire, and to seize the opportunity to take over the Vermillion Bird Empire''s territory.


    But the marshal did not expect that Sikong Caizhi had actually wanted to chase after the remnants of the Vermillion Bird Empire.


    He made this suggestion with the intention to kidnap all the troops.


    Sure enough, during the chase, as the main general, Sikong Caizhi smoothly brought nearly ten thousand soldiers to the place he had prepared beforehand, which was the secret place where he had obtained the Exquisite Tower and the transformed zombie cultivation technique.


    Here, Sikong Caizhi released his zombie army, taking advantage of the night, he sneakily attacked his subordinates and killed them all in their sleep, leaving a few of his trusted aides behind.


    By the time those trusted aides noticed Sikong Caizhi''s actions, it was already too late. Nearly ten thousand of their great army had been wiped out, and the few of them were being heavily surrounded by the numerous zombies.


    At this time, Sikong Caizhi appeared and told his trusted aides of his intentions, tempting them to become his Zombie General in order to live forever. This was also where the eight Zombie General in the first to eighth levels of the Exquisite Tower came from.


    After that, Sikong Caizhi enlarged the Exquisite Tower and directly erected it underground. He himself, on the other hand, refined all of the corpses he had collected into zombies, and distributed them among the different levels of Exquisite Tower according to their strength.


    In the end, Sikong Caizhi entered the coffin on the ninth floor and started to cultivate the first form of the Zombie Transformation.


    When Lu Feng and the others had entered the Exquisite Tower, Sikong Caizhi had actually known about it since long ago, but he had only become the first transformation of his zombie. He had only cultivated it to half of the way, and was still a thousand and a thousand miles away from being able to successfully revive from the first transformation.


    But Sikong Caizhi had never thought that Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue would actually fight their way to the ninth floor, and even succeeded in instigating his twelve female guards.


    With this, even if Sikong Caizhi did not want to interrupt his cultivation, he had no choice but to stop for the moment. This was also the reason why the aura on Sikong Caizhi''s body was a little obscure and hard to understand.
