Xu Feng did not know whether Xu Ruchu was still alive; he only wanted to ensure Shen Qian survived.
In her final moments, Xu Ruchu sacrificed herself to save Shen Qian, making him realize many things between life and death. The person who loved him the most was right beside him, yet he had never cherished her. Now, separated by life and death, Shen Qian could only feel regret too late. With Xu Ruchu gone, he lost the will to live.
"What do you mean, Chuchu isn't dead?" Shen Qian was pulled back to reality.
Xu Feng forcefully pried his hand away, angrily saying, "Of course she's not dead! My sister is blessed and has a strong fate; how could she die so easily? If you died, she wouldn't have! Get away from me!"
Shen Qian's hand was released, and Xu Ruchu was taken away by Xu Feng. Shen Qian cried out hoarsely, "What do you mean? Chuchu really isn't dead? You must have a way, right? She trusts you so much; you must have a way, right..." Shen Qian shouted anxiously as he gradually regained his vitality.
Shen Gong watched from the side and couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Xu Feng. As long as there was still a heartbeat, there was hope for survival. After being scolded by Xu Feng, Shen Qian finally stepped back from the brink of death.
The cultivators behind Shen Qian saw this and gently pressed him down; he collapsed onto the ground. A few of them gathered around to check his injuries and began urgent treatment.
Xu Feng carried Xu Ruchu aside, and the last remaining Divine Separation Practitioner from the Xu family, Xu Huiwu, came over to help.
Xu Ruchu lay flat on the ground while Xu Feng held her wrist pulse, transferring his Wood Element Spiritual Power to her. He was a Five Elements Body and a member of the Primary Dan Sect with considerable medical knowledge. As a thread of spiritual energy flowed through Xu Ruchu's body, he understood her injuries.
Xu Ruchu's exterior appeared intact, but her internal organs were shattered; broken flesh blocked her throat, preventing her from spitting out blood. Her body could not die any further.
Her Yuan Ying had suffered severe damage and was in a dying state, lost and unaware, ready to dissipate at any moment.
Xu Feng made a small cut on Xu Ruchu's fingertip; the blood inside had already coagulated. He squeezed out a drop and bottled it. Years ago, the Lord of Fragrance had used a single drop of essence blood to create a pearl that successfully revived the Immortal Lord. He hoped that Xu Ruchu would be fortunate enough to help him find a way to save her.
Xu Feng quickly performed over ten hand seals to seal Xu Ruchu's nearly extinguished Yuan Ying within her body to prevent further loss. Although Xu Huiwu was one realm higher than Xu Feng in strength, he found himself unable to assist at this moment. As a direct descendant of the Xu family, he didn't know how to explain his elder sister's death to Xu Mo.
On the other side, several members of Li Hua Palace surrounded Ye Qiongyao, who was severely injured but not in life-threatening danger. Her four Swordmasters were furious, their faces pale, and they drew their swords, ready to fight.
Suddenly, a light whistle echoed from the Sky, and a White Shadow appeared out of nowhere, followed by a gray figure. The people from Li Hua Palace and Peace Blade Sect all bowed in respect.
"Elder Sun."
"Nan Elder."
The newcomers were Sun Lan from Li Hua Palace and Shen Lan from Peace Blade Sect. Both were Grand Elders of their respective sects, venerable figures with a long lifespan and core strengths as Great Achievement Stage Cultivators.
Both noticed their severely injured disciple but did not rush to help. Instead, Sun Lan turned to Silverbeard and said, "Silverbeard, you injured my sect's disciple and stole the Sorrowful Technique. Do you really think Li Hua Palace dares not to act against you?"
Lan Shen also wore an angry expression and said, "A hundred years ago, your Wuwei Academy still secretly engaged in such acts. I never expected that now, in broad daylight, you would shamelessly do it again. Good, very good." Though he spoke kindly, his eyes were chilling.
Silverbeard knew he was in the wrong but refused to admit it. "You two friends are mistaken. The Sorrowful Technique is an item of the demon clan; it is harmful to Xian Dao. My actions are for the sake of Zheguo's cultivators."
Sun Lan coldly replied, "Silverbeard's noble intentions for the country are indeed admirable; however, I will not consider Zheguo; I only care for Li Hua Palace." After finishing this sentence, he suddenly launched an attack. A fine sword appeared in the Sky, its shadow scattering like pear blossoms falling towards Silverbeard.
Silverbeard was taken aback; he had just made a sudden move and did not expect Sun Lan to use the same tactic. He hurriedly dodged as if disappearing into thin air. However, the next moment, Silverbeard reappeared at his original spot, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood, his face pale as paper.
Shen Nan stood proudly in mid-air. As Sun Lan attacked, he also threw a punch. Silverbeard managed to evade Sun Lan's sword strike but could not escape Shen Nan's punch and was struck down, coughing up blood.
Shen Nan reached out his hand and caught the three mouthfuls of blood that Silverbeard had spat out. With a flick of his fingers, the blood transformed into three blood beads. Shen Nan flicked his fingers again, sending the three blood beads flying towards Shen Gong, Xu Feng, and Li Hua Palace's Swordmaster.
The essence blood of a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator is incredibly potent; even a single drop can be used to refine mid-grade Earth Immortal Essence and powerful Treasure Talismans.
Silverbeard clutched his chest, speechless with anger.
All three parties had collected the blood beads, but Xu Feng leaped forward and said to Silverbeard sternly, "I don't care who you are or what power you hold, I Xu Feng swear here that within a hundred years, I will take your life. Anyone who dares to protect you will be dealt with as well."
This declaration shocked everyone.
A child of the Late Stage of Nascent Soul actually dared to boast about taking the life of a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator within a hundred years—was he insane or just an Idiot?
Silverbeard was so furious that his vision blurred, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. This time he did not waste it, reaching out to collect the blood. If it weren't for the two Great Perfection Stage cultivators watching him closely, Silverbeard would have already slapped Xu Feng to death.
Seeing Xu Feng offend Silverbeard so gravely for the sake of Xu Ruchu, Xu Huiwu couldn't help but feel deeply moved. If an outsider like Xu Feng could stand up for the Xu family like this, how could he, as a direct descendant of the Xu family, not show his support? He immediately stepped forward and said, "I am Xu Huiwu, and I too will fight with my life to seek justice for my elder sister."
With Xu Feng leading the charge, the Shen Family also became fervent. Shen Gong glanced at Shen Nan and stepped forward as well, addressing Silverbeard: "My Fourth Brother's life is uncertain because of you; one day I will repay you tenfold."
Shen Gong was the Second Young Master of the Pingdao Sect, and his words could not be taken lightly. The Pingdao Sect, ranked fifth in the realm of Xian Dao, was exceptionally powerful.
The situation alarmed those from Yue Ren Mountain Villa and several loose cultivators. With the entire Pingdao Sect mobilizing, it would be easy for them to wipe out Yue Ren Mountain Villa. With a single strike from Silverbeard, both Li Hua Palace and Peace Blade Sect were pushed aside as opponents. The Wuwei Academy was likely facing a storm; whether they could withstand it was truly unpredictable. This time serving as lackeys for the Wuwei Academy, it was hard to tell if it would be a blessing or a curse.
When Xu Feng issued his hundred-year vow and made Silverbeard spit blood in anger, the other two Great Achievement Stage Cultivators secretly nodded in approval.
Sun Lan said, "Though your words may be bold, Xu Feng, your courage is commendable. The Li Hua Palace can lend you a helping hand; if you need anything, feel free to come to me at the palace."
Shen Nan added, "I hear you are a friend of Qian'er. The door of the Shen Family is always open for you."
With both major powers expressing their support, Xu Feng quickly expressed his gratitude.
Thanking the two, Xu Feng walked in front of the disciples of Li Hua Palace and suddenly said, "The Liuxiang Kingdom is no longer safe. If you have time, you should go back and take a look, it’s good to be prepared."
The people of Li Hua Palace were puzzled by what Xu Feng meant. Following his gaze, they saw the five Veiled Female Cultivators who had been hunting the Qilin Beast.
In the end, four of them tactfully dispersed, revealing the one who was struggling and exhausted, a Veiled Woman at the Early Stage of Spirit Separation.
The Veiled Woman trembled slightly all over, as if suppressing some emotion. Xu Feng's words were directed at her.
Sun Lan, observing from the side, noticed something and said, "Xu Feng, Cai Shujun cannot return to Liuxiang Kingdom; she is now the Saintess of Li Hua Palace. If there’s anything, you can talk to me."
Cai Shujun! The Veiled Female Cultivator at the Early Stage of Spirit Separation turned out to be Cai Shujun!
After not seeing her for a hundred years, she had actually advanced to the Divine Separation Stage, even faster than Xu Feng who possessed the Golden Finger. How did she achieve that?
Xu Feng had long suspected this Female Cultivator's identity. Every time their eyes met, she intentionally avoided him. When they were in the stone chamber during the Great War against the Qilin Beast, all five were exceptionally strong in Wood Element Technique. Combining that with previous encounters, Xu Feng finally confirmed that this person was indeed Cai Shujun.
Cai Shujun had a Wood Heart body, a rare find like Li Hongxiu, who directly sent her to Li Hua Palace. After a hundred years apart, Cai Shujun's New Moon Sect movement technique was still vaguely recognizable; thus, as soon as she made a move, Xu Feng immediately recognized her.
Thinking about how Cai Shujun had always been veiled and deliberately avoided him, Xu Feng chose not to acknowledge her. Now that Xu Ruchu was gravely injured and on the brink of death, he felt compelled to inform Cai Shujun about the situation regarding Liuxiang Kingdom.
"Mm." Cai Shujun replied softly, hesitating to say more before finally turning her head away without saying anything further.
Xu Feng understood that she must have some unspoken difficulties and did not press further. He turned back to Xu Ruchu's side, bent down to pick her up, shot a cold glance at Silverbeard, and said to Xu Huiwu, "Let's go."
Silverbeard found himself stuck in the sky; he couldn't leave or stay. Under Xu Feng's glare, he was so furious that he nearly spat blood.
Shen Nan said coldly, "Silverbeard, I won't pursue you for that Sorrowful Technique, but remember today’s events. For the sake of a Sorrowful Technique, Wuwei Academy severely injured the core disciples of Pingdao Sect and Li Hua Palace. I will make sure all sects in Zhenguo know about this."
With just a few words, Shen Nan elevated the nature of the incident to another level, implying that Wuwei Academy was bullying others and robbing them, no different from bandits, and was unworthy of being the supreme authority in Zhenguo Xian Dao.
Silverbeard was injured by the two and felt a surge of anger inside, but he could only swallow his pride as he was outnumbered. After wiping away a mouthful of blood, he quickly left.
Once Silverbeard departed, the people from Yue Ren Mountain Villa dared not stay any longer and scattered like birds and beasts.
Shen Nan did not hold it against them. He checked Shen Qian's injuries and then led the members of Pingdao Sect away.
Sun Lan approached Cai Shujun and asked, "Who is Xu Feng to you?"
Cai Shujun replied softly, "He is my junior brother from Liuxiang Kingdom."
