Hua Baili is the eldest son of Hua Guinian, exceptionally intelligent and one in a hundred.
Two hundred years ago, Hua Baili intercepted Qiu Wuling in Beast City to prevent a marriage between Guiyi Sect and New Moon Sect. Unexpectedly, Jin Liaoyuan appeared out of nowhere and rescued Qiu Wuling. Before leaving, Hua Baili poisoned Qiu Wuling with "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
In order to obtain Square Leaf Grass to save Qiu Wuling, Jin Liaoyuan bravely led the Top Ten Bandits to Wuhua Island, ultimately suffering fatal injuries. In that battle, Hua Baili lost a hand to Jin Liaoyuan, and since then his cultivation stagnated, no longer involving himself in the grievances of the Six Sects. Wuhua Island, recognizing his service to the Sect and being the eldest son of Hua Guinian, appointed him as the Grand Elder.
Over the years, Hua Baili has lived a secluded life while Hua Qian Zhi ventured far away. The only one truly opposing various factions on Wuhua Island was the Three Elders' Hua Wanduo.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Hua Baili reemerged. Although he only possesses Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivation, making him relatively insignificant in strength, his high status commands respect; Hua Qian Zhi listens to him without question.
Hua Baili appears detached but cannot escape the emotions from that past affair. He has repeatedly expressed goodwill towards Qiu Wuling but has been rejected each time. Ultimately, under the arrangement of the Sect, he was set to marry Chai Qingniu. However, he discovered that Qiu Wuling had developed feelings for Jin Liaoyuan, who had even attacked Wuhua Island for her sake, severing Hua Baili's hand.
After his cultivation stagnated, Hua Baili realized he could no longer win Qiu Wuling's heart and began to wander through mountains and rivers, passively avoiding the world. Yet in his heart, he always held onto Qiu Wuling's shadow; love turned to hate made him seek opportunities for revenge.
Xu Feng had seen Hua Baili long ago—his hand. He had also heard Qiu Wuling mention him. Little did he expect that this man who dressed like a pastoral poet would be the mastermind controlling Cai Shujun.
Hua Baili stepped into the arena and looked at Qiu Wuling with interest.
Qiu Wuling said, "You harbor hatred; why not kill me?"
Hua Baili coldly laughed and replied, "Kill you? If I wanted you dead, I would have acted long ago; why wait until today?" His face was grim, devoid of any scholarly demeanor.
Hua Baili continued, "Xu Feng has traveled back and forth to Beast Wasteland multiple times; you have taken good care of him. If I am not mistaken, Xu Feng must have a significant connection with Jin Liaoyuan."
Qiu Wuling did not respond. However, Hua Guinian's expression changed; Jin Liaoyuan had killed dozens of disciples from Wuhua Island, and all the Top Ten Bandits perished there as well. There was an irreconcilable enmity between Jin Liaoyuan and Wuhua Island. If Hua Baili acted against Cai Shujun because of Jin Liaoyuan, it could be justified.
Far away at Shore, the Five Faction Cultivators heard clearly and were greatly shocked. The battle with Jin Liaoyuan was participated in by several present, and it was Lu Xianhe who ultimately struck Jin Liaoyuan with a palm.
Thinking that Xu Feng might be Jin Liaoyuan's successor, Lu Xianhe felt a chill run down his spine. Chu Wushang finally understood why Xu Feng had been reluctant to return to New Moon Sect for so long. Qiu Wuling had shown him kindness, but Jin Liaoyuan's death was also closely related to New Moon Sect.
Hua Baili then said, "It is rumored that Xu Feng and Cai Shujun are in love, exchanging glances. Jin Liaoyuan broke my palm; I will take it back from his disciple. What is wrong with that? Qiu Wuling, you did not obtain him while Jin Liaoyuan was alive; now that your juniors have fate, I will not allow them to be together." Hua Baili's face twisted in extreme ferocity.
Qiu Wuling was completely stunned, not expecting his misfortune to repeat itself in the next generation.
Xu Feng suddenly turned to Hua Guinian and calmly said, "Let them go first; allow the people from New Moon Sect to leave. I will return Hua Du to you."
Seeing Xu Feng's calm demeanor, Hua Guinian guessed that things would not end well. Fortunately, this was Wuhua Island's territory; as long as he could first exchange for Hua Du, without any concerns, other matters would be easier to handle.
Hua Guinian replied, "You are not wrong. Fine, I will let them go first." With a wave of his hand, the Golden Core Cultivator beside Qiu Wuling stepped back.
Xu Feng signaled for Qiu Wuling to bring the New Moon Sect disciples over to him first and then made a gesture towards the combatants. Chu Wushang saw clearly as three Dapeng soared up from behind and quickly reached above Wuhua Island.
Qiu Wuling called down the Dapeng, and over twenty New Moon Sect disciples boarded the Dapeng one by one. Qiu Wuling glanced at Xu Feng, hesitated to speak, but ultimately turned around and led his disciples into the sky, returning to the Five Faction Alliance's camp.
Seeing Qiu Wuling safely escape, Xu Feng turned to Hua Du and said, "Go ahead; you are free now." However, Hua Du did not move at all, his gaze blank and lost in thought.
Hua Wanduo stepped forward and took Hua Du back.
Xu Feng then said to Yi Jiuzhou, "You should return as well; wait for me at Bailu Mountain. Other matters can be discussed later."
Yi Jiuzhou did not think twice and released the Flying Sword, which flew away into the distance. With so many experts on Wuhua Island, he felt that staying would not help and would only burden Xu Feng.
Hua Wanduo suddenly said, "Xu Feng, you should leave as well. I will find a way to handle Cai Shujun's matter." Xu Feng had let her go in Mist City, and Hua Wanduo felt guilty and did not want to conflict with Xu Feng any further.
Hua Baili shot a fierce glare at Hua Wanduo and shouted, "Wanduo, what are you doing!" Hua Wanduo's statement not only angered Hua Baili but also puzzled Hua Guinian and Hua Qian Zhi.
Unmoved, Hua Wanduo said, "Elder Brother Second Brother, since Xu Feng has let go of jealousy, we should keep our promise and release Cai Shujun. You shouldn't make things difficult for them regarding your issues with Qiu Wuling."
Hua Qian Zhi snorted repeatedly, completely ignoring Hua Wanduo's words.
Hua Guinian said, "Xu Feng, the matter with Cai Shujun was just an accident. I will give you a solution for this. Right now, the Five Faction Alliance is besieging Wuhua Island; we should resolve this matter first."
Xu Feng replied, "The Five Faction Alliance besieging Wuhua Island is your concern; it has nothing to do with me. I just want to take Cai Shujun away." Xu Feng insisted on this point.
Hua Qian Zhi said, "I captured her; if you want to take her away, why don't you come and ask me?"
Xu Feng responded, "I actually hope you will hand her over yourself; that way, it would be easier for both of us. If you insist on being stubborn, it won't just be you who suffers." Xu Feng's words became increasingly impolite.
Seeing the situation between the two becoming more tense, Hua Guinian was about to mediate when suddenly a long howl came from the shore as the Five Faction Alliance unexpectedly surged forward. Over two hundred Golden Core Cultivators released their Flying Swords and charged ahead, while other Foundation Disciples followed behind on various flying devices.
Xu Feng unexpectedly entered Wuhua Island alone, and the Five Faction Alliance did not play by the rules; before Xu Feng could initiate battle, they charged forward first.
The Great War broke out, leaving no possibility for reversal.
Hua Guinian soared into the air, and all the Golden Core Cultivators of Wuhua Island quickly spread out, forming a line to confront the enemy. Only Hua Qian Zhi and Xu Feng remained in the training ground.
Hua Qian Zhi's eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, "I've been waiting for them to come at me; that way, I have a reason to strike. Once I eliminate this bunch of ugly ones, Wuhua Island will have no more worries. After I deal with them, I'll take care of you." With that, he lunged toward the Five Faction Alliance.
Xu Feng shook his head. He had to admit that Hua Qian Zhi was a reckless man. Although he had exceptional talent, he lacked a sense of the bigger picture. By rushing off like this, he left the powerful Xu Feng behind him. If Xu Feng were to suddenly attack Hua Guinian, who could stop him?
"Your opponent is me!" Xu Feng called out as he saw Hua Qian Zhi's murderous intent rising and had no choice but to act.
With a thud, two arrows flew toward Hua Qian Zhi's back. Hua Qian Zhi swept his sleeve back, dispersing the two Fire Elemental Power arrows.
Looking at his scorched sleeve, Hua Qian Zhi broke out in a cold sweat. Xu Feng's doubled Spiritual Arrows were not easy to handle. As Hua Qian Zhi swept away the Spiritual Arrows, not only was his sleeve burned to shreds, but his left arm also suffered immense pain. If it weren't for the sleeve absorbing some of the force, those two arrows alone would have injured his left hand.
"You've caught my attention," Hua Qian Zhi said as he abandoned the Five Faction Alliance and turned to attack Xu Feng first.
Xu Feng unleashed the Wings of the Strange Dragon and soared high into the air, accelerating away from Wuhua Island by two miles. Hua Qian Zhi closely followed; without a Flying Sword, he was still faster than Xu Feng. In front of a Yuan Ying Cultivator, Xu Feng's speed was hardly impressive.
Xu Feng said, "Hua Qian Zhi, don't mislead yourself or others. I'll say it again: hand over Cai Shujun and go back from where you came."
Hua Qian Zhi wouldn't listen and shouted back, "How ridiculous! I could take you down in just a few breaths, yet you overestimate yourself by trying to teach me a lesson. Once I take your head, let's see what you have left."
Hua Qian Zhi closed in with a sword strike aimed directly downwards. Xu Feng couldn't create enough distance; his Moonchaser Bow was practically useless against Hua Qian Zhi at this range, so he quickly swung out his Fire Dragon Whip.
The Purple Lightning Sword clashed with the Fire Dragon Whip once more. Thunder roared over the sea as splashes of seawater formed white light curtains. Hua Qian Zhi and Xu Feng darted back and forth within those light curtains.
As the battle commenced, the Five Faction Alliance encountered Wuhua Island, and the sound of clashing swords echoed instantly. Golden Core Disciples fought in the sky while Foundation Disciples seized the opportunity to land. Hundreds surged onto Wuhua Island, where the defending Foundation Disciples were well-prepared, forming a formation that quickly divided the Five Faction Alliance's disciples for segmented combat.
The disciples of Wuhua Island fought on their home turf, with a significant number of Refining Qi disciples alongside the Foundation Disciples. The Five Sects were entirely composed of Foundation Disciples, but their sheer numbers made up for it. One side had the advantage of terrain, while the other had numerical superiority, leading to a fierce and indecisive battle.
Cries and screams filled the air, and soon the waters around the island were stained red. Injured Golden Core Cultivators occasionally fell into the sea, attracting a swarm of sharks that tore them apart as soon as they hit the water.
Xu Feng's absolute strength was inferior to Hua Qian Zhi's. Relying on the Fire Element One Star and Fire Dragon Whip's elemental advantage against Jinxi's Purple Lightning Sword, Xu Feng fought while retreating, making it difficult for Hua Qian Zhi to gain the upper hand.
Seeing Wuhua Island under siege and the situation growing dire, Hua Qian Zhi intensified his assault, aiming to capture Xu Feng quickly. The moment Xu Feng showed signs of depleting spiritual energy, he would unleash the Azure Dragon Whip to secure his victory.
Xu Feng remained vigilant against Hua Qian Zhi's Azure Dragon Whip. Each time Hua Qian Zhi struck with his sword, Xu Feng would retreat far away. If Hua Qian Zhi did not pursue him, Xu Feng would retaliate with his Moonchaser Bow, infuriating Hua Qian Zhi and forcing him to follow Xu Feng further away until they were ten miles apart within ten exchanges.
"It’s time to end this!" Hua Qian Zhi finally recognized Xu Feng's intentions and decided not to wait any longer. He unleashed a beam of white light.
The Azure Dragon Whip transformed into a three-meter-long White Dragon that lunged toward Xu Feng.
