Eighty years apart, the fog in Mist City is not as thick as it used to be, possibly due to the awakening of the dragon vein in Liuxiang Kingdom. The spiritual energy in this area has long surpassed that of Zheguo, and it may even exceed it.
Today, Mist City feels unusually cold. A few mortals are selling baked cakes in the city. Due to the closure of Jingcheng Auction, there are few cultivators visible on the streets. Another auction house, Gathering of the Immortals, has already withdrawn from Liuxiang Kingdom due to poor business.
The situation is not as dire as imagined; various cultivation factions in Mist City still exist, but for some unknown reason, they are less active than usual.
In contrast, Xian City is much livelier. The number of shops has increased significantly, and like Zheguo, it has divided into Mortal Zone and Cultivator Zone.
Xu Feng bought his first spirit bow here; the Moonchaser Bow was sold by the Zhou family from Xian City. Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Ba, who was once a young man, has now become the boss of the Zhou family, leading dozens of people under him.
Today, Zhou Ba seems to be in trouble. He hasn't personally attended to customers in many years. The customers he has now are somewhat different—seven or eight people crowded in the shop, all Late Stage of Nascent Soul cultivators. Among them, one silent figure has even reached the Divine Separation Stage.
This group of nine represents a formidable force that would be a dominant power in Liuxiang Kingdom. If it weren't for the rapid development of Liuxiang Kingdom over the past century, these nine alone could easily destroy it.
These individuals are dressed differently and come from four distinct sects, including Yue Ren Mountain Villa and Nine Dragon Pool—two factions Xu Feng is not particularly eager to encounter.
So many forces from Zheguo have entered Liuxiang Kingdom! Xu Feng activated his Concealment Technique to control his strength at the Nascent Soul Stage and blended into the crowd of Xian City to see what these people were up to.
As soon as Xu Feng landed, a Divine Separation Stage cultivator from Nine Dragon Pool glanced over in his direction, seemingly noticing something.
A Yuan Ying cultivator from Yue Ren Mountain Villa pointed at Zhou Ba and shouted angrily, "What kind of worthless treasure is this? This bow can't even kill a bird; how can it be used for combat? And you want me to pay twenty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones? Have you lost your mind?"
Zhou Ba's assistant had already been frightened into retreating to the side. Zhou Ba gritted his teeth and replied, "Esteemed senior, our Liuxiang Kingdom is not as strong as your Zheguo. This bow's price is based on the general market value for Inferior Magical Artifacts. The Zhou family does not dare to overprice it; we still have a good reputation in Liuxiang Kingdom. Xu Feng once bought a spirit bow from me."
The cultivator laughed heartily, "Xu Feng? Isn't he just that little follower next to Xu Ruchu? Hahaha! He can't even protect his own master but has quite a reputation in Liuxiang Kingdom."
Zhou Ba said, "Senior, Xu Feng is the pride of our Liuxiang Kingdom. Please do not harm him. If you do not want this magical artifact, you may leave; my Zhou family will not engage in this business." Zhou Ba only had the strength of the Late Stage of Golden Core, and after saying this, he began to sweat.
"I'll take this magical artifact for ten thousand spirit stones, so stop with the nonsense." The group of Zheguo cultivators were all equipped with Superior Magical Artifacts; they had no interest in the low-grade bow from Liuxiang Kingdom and were clearly looking for trouble.
Suddenly, a delicate voice echoed from the sky, "Who is causing a ruckus in Xian City? Step forward and speak."
Upon hearing the shout, the nine Zheguo individuals stepped out of Zhou Ba's shop, each wearing an unfriendly expression. "Daoist, I came to Liuxiang Kingdom for a visit and got tricked by you. How can you say I am causing a ruckus?"
The crowd dispersed as the nine stood in the center of the street, their arrogance palpable.
Five cultivators descended from the sky, all dressed in white robes and strikingly beautiful female cultivators. The leading woman had captivating eyes and an icy demeanor.
Xian City was under the jurisdiction of the New Moon Sect, and those stationed here were undoubtedly experts from that sect. These five women were clearly disciples of the New Moon Sect's Mistaken Sword Hall.
All five possessed considerable strength, each at the Nascent Soul Stage, with the Beautiful-eyed Woman being at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul.
Liuxiang had indeed made remarkable progress over these eighty years; just guarding Xian City alone had five Nascent Soul Period Cultivators. However, compared to the nine ragtag soldiers from Zheguo, these five were still quite weak.
One lewd man from Zheguo had already begun to lecherously laugh, "Friend, Liuxiang Kingdom is but a small place. Why not come back to Zheguo with me? At our Azure Cloud Pavilion, you can enjoy a life far better than here by hundreds of times. What do you say? Consider it, ha ha ha."
Azure Cloud Pavilion ranked ninth in Zheguo; who would have thought they would come to Liuxiang Kingdom?
The Beautiful-eyed Woman replied, "This is Xian City, not Zheguo. Since you are here, you must abide by our rules. If you cause trouble recklessly, do not blame me for taking action according to the law."
"Why are you laughing? Come here and show me, come over here, hahaha."
The Beautiful-eyed Woman's expression turned cold as she said, "Since you sincerely want to fight, I will oblige."
With a flash, a sword light shot out. The Azure Cloud Pavilion cultivator, still laughing, was struck and immediately spat blood, flying backward.
The other eight were shocked; they hadn't expected the Beautiful-eyed Woman to strike so decisively and with such strength, sending a fellow cultivator of the same level, a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, flying with a single sword strike.
The fallen cultivator pointed at the Beautiful-eyed Woman, blood spilling from his mouth but unable to speak. A fellow cultivator dressed in the same attire rushed over to help him up and began healing his wounds.
This astonishing sword strike also caught Xu Feng's attention. From the trajectory of the sword, he could faintly see Qiu Wuling's shadow; it was one of the improved techniques from the Yi Seven Swords.
During the simultaneous development of Liuxiang Kingdom, their swordsmanship remained ahead, and most cultivators of the same level were no match for disciples of Mistaken Sword Hall.
The other eight were stunned by this sword strike. Ultimately, their numbers gave them confidence. The Yue Ren Mountain Villa cultivator who had previously haggled stepped forward and shouted, "Alright! You from Liuxiang Kingdom are bullying outsiders. Today we will teach you a lesson to make you remember!" A group of them pretended to prepare for a fight, while only the Divine Separation Practitioner from Nine Dragon Pool stood silently aside.
The Beautiful-eyed Woman did not respond. With a swift movement, she drew her sword before they could act. Her figure flashed as she charged into the crowd, scattering the Seven People.
The four women behind her also joined the fray. Although they were only Mid Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, their combat power was not inferior to that of Zheguo's Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
The onlookers quickly retreated, secretly sweating for the five members of New Moon Sect.
Zhou Ba pulled a companion aside and whispered a few words. The companion quickly ran off.
The battle quickly determined a victor, as the Beautiful-eyed Woman single-handedly faced three opponents, while the other four were engaged in one-on-one duels, completely gaining the upper hand. The defeat of Zheguo and the Seven People was merely a matter of time.
"Hmph! Arrogant."
The previously silent Divine Separation Stage Cultivator suddenly made a move, unleashing five waves of energy. The five members of Mistaken Sword Hall were pushed back by a single strike, their faces pale and clearly injured.
The remaining members of Zheguo's Seven People were left in disarray until the Divine Separation Stage Cultivator from Nine Dragon Pool intervened, allowing them to regain their composure.
A cultivator from Yue Ren Mountain Villa said, "Xiang Qi, what are you waiting for? You should have acted earlier; I almost got hurt." This person was only at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul but dared to shout at Xiang Qi, a Divine Separation Stage cultivator, who surprisingly did not retaliate in anger.
Yue Ren Mountain Villa ranked seventh in the Xian Dao, while Nine Dragon Pool was insignificant, not even making it into the top ten. Thus, a low-ranking disciple from Yue Ren Mountain Villa felt bold enough to act so arrogantly.
Suppressing his anger, Xiang Qi said, "We have not yet accomplished our goal; everyone should refrain from causing trouble."
Seeing the disheveled state of the Seven People, one of whom was severely injured, Xiang Qi added, "Since it has come to this, I will take matters into my own hands." He understood that if he did not regain some dignity here, these useless individuals would have something to say when they returned.
Dealing with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators was far too easy for someone at the Divine Separation Stage. Xiang Qi only needed one strike to injure New Moon Five Swords.
Xiang Qi looked coldly at the five Female Cultivators who had gathered together with serious expressions. He stated, "You initiated the attack first; don't blame me for using overwhelming force."
With white light gathering in his hand, an immense power surged instantly before he swung fiercely. The white blade shot out, resembling Huo Jinxing's Half-Moon Blade but with a wider surface area.
If this strike hit, New Moon Five Swords would either die or be severely injured.
Xiang Qi's lips curled into a disdainful yet somewhat regretful smile. To crush the flower with a heavy hand was not my wish, yet it had to be done.
His mocking smile suddenly froze as a fist mark abruptly appeared in the air, three to four meters wide, shimmering with a light yellow, crystal-like glow. It grew larger before his eyes, and then Xiang Qi felt his body begin to lighten and ache...
A punch flew in, sending Xiang Qi and several disciples of Zheguo behind him flying away.
Bang, bang, bang—a series of crashing sounds echoed as several severely injured bodies lay sprawled on the ground, unconscious.
Xiang Qi remained suspended in the sky, not descending for a long time.
That fist had knocked eight people away, yet Xiang Qi was still outside; his strength was formidable, and this punch did not immediately take his life. He continued to spew blood in the sky.
The fist that had sent him flying suddenly transformed into a palm, grabbing the airborne Xiang Qi back.
On the streets of Xian City, Xu Feng held Xiang Qi by the neck with one hand, lifting him into the sky like wringing a chicken. Xiang Qi's legs kicked weakly a few times before going limp, leaving only intermittent gasps for breath.
"Do you want to die?"
Xiang Qi replied, "Mmm, mmm, mmm..."
"If you dare to come here, you must be prepared to seek death! Get lost!" Xu Feng raised his hand, and Xiang Qi fell to the ground like a broken sack.
At that moment, the entire Xian City froze.
"Good! Alright!" After a long silence, a voice broke through, and immediately, the surroundings began to tremble with cheers, even the walls of Xian City were shaking.
"The Liuxiang Kingdom is not to be underestimated; we vow to fight to the end!"
"Kill those bastards from Zheguo!"
"Yes, let's squeeze them out completely!"
Amidst the shouts, Xiang Qi flew away in a wobbly manner. After this punch, only eight of the nine dragons in Nine Dragon Pool remained; one had been recuperating for years and no longer jumped into Xian Dao.
The Beautiful-eyed Woman approached Xu Feng. Just as she was about to bow and express her gratitude, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she joyfully exclaimed, "Xu Shishu, it's Xu Shishu who has returned!" She grabbed Xu Feng's hand, jumping and shouting like a madwoman, completely shedding her earlier cold demeanor.
Xu Feng struggled to remember which disciple of Mistaken Sword Hall she was and asked, "Do you know me?"
The Beautiful-eyed Woman replied sweetly, "Shishu, I am Jiang Ying!"
