Xu Feng's quick escape proved to be wise. As soon as Xu Feng left, a cultivator with two exceptionally long legs suddenly appeared. Upon seeing the situation on the ground, his expression changed drastically, and he thought to himself, "I didn't expect there to be more than one black-clad person using Sword Formation. I've arrived too late."
In just one night, Wuwei Academy lost two major experts. The Wuwei Six Sons were now down to only three, and with Qing Yuzi's strength having regressed, that left just two. This was a significant blow to Wuwei Academy and a thorough provocation.
On the ground lay the Supreme Treasure Sword of Not Returning Child and Silverbeard, while Chen Erhuo's thirteen swords were scattered all around. The long-legged cultivator collected all the swords and examined the traces on the ground before chasing after Xu Feng's direction of disappearance, moving at an astonishing speed.
Taking advantage of the night, Xu Feng flew northward, quickly escaping the region of Yuan Lake and entering Daming Lake.
Shuangfeng City was the last city of Yuan Lake, adjacent to Luofu City by Daming Lake. Luofu City also had a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator stationed there, but it was now a cultivator from Pingdao Sect.
Xu Feng had some connections with Pingdao Sect but knew that seeking them out at this time would only cause them trouble. Having killed Silverbeard and Not Returning Child, someone would definitely come after him. Although Pingdao Sect had fallen out with Wuwei Academy and no longer interacted with them, it had not yet reached the point of open conflict.
As Xu Feng flew, he checked Chen Erhuo's injuries. Chen Erhuo's complexion was a ghastly green; the Fire Sand that had seeped into his body was already suppressed, but it carried a potent poison. Now that the poison was attacking his heart, Chen Erhuo's life hung by a thread.
Xu Feng did not know what poison was mixed with the Fire Sand. He gave Chen Erhuo several eighth-grade Antidote Pills, but there was no reaction at all. Did he really have to go to Shennong Valley to find a master for treatment?
Daming Lake faced Red Lake to the north and south, separated by Wuwei Academy in between. If he did not use a Teleportation Array, it would take at least three months for travel. Even if Wuwei Academy did not come after him in that time, Chen Erhuo would have long succumbed to the poison.
Xu Feng did not know Chen Erhuo well but shared a common enemy: Wuwei Academy. The saying goes that an enemy's enemy is a friend; moreover, this person had killed Qianlongzi in Liuxiang Kingdom, doing them a great service. Xu Feng was determined to save him.
Xu Feng bypassed Luofu City and flew over it, landing on a mountain that also fell under Luofu City's jurisdiction but was less strict than within the city itself.
After flying for three hours, if there were any pursuers behind him, Xu Feng's speed would likely have allowed him to shake them off.
Xu Feng slipped into a cave and concealed his presence with an array before forcefully extracting Not Returning Child's Yuan Ying. He delivered dozens of slaps without hesitation and shouted, "Not Returning Child, answer my questions immediately! For every half-word you withhold, I'll give you ten more slaps."
Not Returning Child's Yuan Ying was already injured and became dizzy from Xu Feng's relentless slapping. His mind became muddled as Xu Feng's Sorrowful Technique took advantage of this opening and seized control of Not Returning Child's consciousness.
"Do you still have any reinforcements?"
"Yes."
"Who is it, and how are they responding?"
"It's Walker. We set up a series of Teleportation Arrays to deal with the black-clad individuals. As soon as there's any suspicious activity, two people will surround them. Walker and I are those two mobile responders, but unfortunately, Walker arrived a step too late."
"Is it Walker, one of the Five Masters?"
"Yes."
Xu Feng felt a headache coming on; there was actually a Walker tracking him. It was rumored that the Five Masters were also practitioners at the Early Stage of Great Achievement, but their true combat power was significantly stronger than that of the "Six Sons." The black-clad individuals had repeatedly attacked the Six Sons without daring to touch the Five Masters, considering that the success rate of killing them was lower, which made them hesitant to act recklessly.
Xu Feng didn't know how strong this Walker was. If the Gale Sword Formation couldn't handle him, he would be in big trouble.
Xu Feng opened the ring of Not Returning Child and pulled out a bunch of pills. "Which bottle contains the Antidote for Fire Sand?"
"The red one."
Inside the red bottle were three pills. Xu Feng took one pill and forced it into Chen Erhuo's mouth. After a while, the green color on Chen Erhuo's face indeed faded, but he still showed no signs of waking up.
Xu Feng grabbed Not Returning Child. "Are you messing with me? Do you want to die?"
Not Returning Child replied aggrievedly, "This is indeed the Antidote for Fire Sand. There are two types of Antidotes: one controls the onset of the poison, and the other eliminates the toxin. I only have the first type; the other is managed personally by the dean."
Xu Feng then took out Silverbeard's Yuan Ying, asking about his results as well. They could only control the onset of the poison but could not completely eliminate it. It seemed that Wuwei Academy had intentionally left a way out.
Not Returning Child said, "This type of Antidote can delay the onset of the poison for two months. During these two months, you can go to Shennong Valley. As long as the experts in Shennong Valley are willing, this kind of poison won't be a problem for them."
If they could reach Shennong Valley in two months, otherwise, Chen Erhuo would be finished. However, taking Chen Erhuo there was impossible under any circumstances. Now everyone was searching for Chen Erhuo, and a reward for a Low-Grade Dao Artifact was enough to make many people risk their lives.
If news spread that Silverbeard and Not Returning Child had been killed, then their options would become even more limited.
The Teleportation Array of the Shenxing Sect was crowded, making it a trap to go there. Walking would mean a journey of nearly ten million miles, and even if Xu Feng traveled empty-handed, it would take him a month to fly.
What should he do?
After a long while, Xu Feng raised an eyebrow and flew out of the mountain with the unconscious Chen Erhuo.
Xu Feng circled around the wilderness and flew back to the entrance of Luofu City. Outside the city, he found a merchant caravan and hid Chen Erhuo in one of the carts before entering Luofu City.
That night, Xu Feng took Chen Erhuo to stay at an inn for mortals.
The next day, Xu Feng stayed in the inn, afraid to go out. The mortals also didn’t dare to ask him anything. By midnight, Xu Feng gave Chen Erhuo an Antidote, but there were still no signs of improvement; only his breathing had stabilized somewhat, indicating that the poison was under control.
Xu Feng found a Daoist robe for Chen Erhuo to change into and did some makeup to completely alter Chen Ermei's appearance. Then he poured a bottle of spirit liquor over Chen Ermei.
Xu Feng held onto Chen Ermei and went to a large inn on West Street in Luofu City, a place frequented by cultivators and specially attended to by the city lord.
The innkeeper saw Xu Feng swaying with someone in his arms who reeked of alcohol, clearly drunk. Frowning, he quickly arranged a room for Xu Feng and led the two drunks inside.
After settling into the inn, Xu Feng came down alone and instructed the innkeeper not to disturb his friend before leaving the inn.
The city lord's mansion was located outside on Luofu Peak, and Xu Feng quickly made his way there.
“What business do you have, senior?” a guard from the city lord's mansion stopped Xu Feng.
Seeing the guard's attire, which indicated he was from Pingdao Sect, Xu Feng replied, “I am Xu Feng, seeking an audience with the city lord.”
The guard was taken aback and exclaimed, “You are the Xu Feng from the Xu family? I heard you are challenging Silverbeard! You’re amazing! Our Fourth Young Master often mentions you.”
Not many people recognized Xu Feng, but thanks to intentional promotion by the Xu family's Pingdao Sect, his name had become well-known. Among mortals and cultivators in Zheguo, everyone knew about Xu Feng's challenge to Silverbeard.
Xu Feng said, "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Young Master. I wish for you and Sister Xu to become a couple."
Upon hearing this, the guard became even more convinced of Xu Feng's identity and said, "Please wait, Senior. I will report to the City Lord immediately." He hurried off.
Luo Fu Peak was not large, and there were no more than ten disciples in the City Lord's residence, all of whom were Nascent Soul Disciples sent by the Pingdao Sect. With Xu Feng's cultivation at the Divine Separation Stage, he was considered a senior here.
Before long, the guard returned and said, "The City Lord requests your presence, Senior. Please follow me."
Xu Feng followed the guard into the City Lord's residence. Once inside, he stayed for a full two hours before coming out. No one knew what Xu Feng discussed with the City Lord or even if he met with him.
All that was known was that two hours later, Xu Feng left Luo Fu Peak and directly exited Luo Fu City, his destination unknown.
During this time, a strange incident occurred in Luo Fu City: a spirit beast raised by City Lord Shen Weifeng was stolen. To find this spirit beast, all ten disciples of the City Lord's residence were mobilized to turn Luo Fu City upside down. These guards, all at the Nascent Soul Stage, acted under the authority of the City Lord, and no one dared to provoke them.
In the end, the guards actually found the spirit beast in an inn on West Street and brought it back to the City Lord's residence. For this, the ten guards received rewards from the City Lord.
After leaving Luo Fu City, Xu Feng appeared three hours later in Xinghe City by Daming Lake. Xinghe City was located on the eastern side of Daming Lake, close to Qingdao Lake.
Xinghe City was a commercial city by Daming Lake where many cultivators traded. Various cultivators with different personalities often had some friction; unfortunately, today Xu Feng encountered such an issue.
The situation unfolded like this: Xu Feng wanted to sell a magical artifact when a female cultivator who looked just like Feng Jie also wanted to buy it. The two refused to back down and began to argue. After a few exchanges, they decided to resolve their dispute through combat.
They agreed to duel outside the city. Feng Jie only had Mid Stage Spirit Separation strength and did not take Xu Feng seriously; as a result, she was beaten badly by Xu Feng.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jie's boyfriend at Divine Separation Late Stage was also present—actually not just one but three cultivators claiming to be Feng Jie's boyfriends confronted Xu Feng. A great battle ensued between them, resulting in both sides suffering injuries.
Xu Feng limped into the Divine Movement Teleportation Array with his battered body.
"Senior, you look seriously injured. Where are you planning to go?"
“Shennong Valley.”
“Oh, you should go to Shennong Valley to buy some medicine, seeing that you are injured. I will give you a full proof of travel. As long as you pay me, you can teleport continuously all the way to Medicine City, without needing to pay again in between.”
“Alright, how much is it?”
“One hundred thousand.”
The disciple of Divine Movement quoted a price, and Xu Feng feigned surprise, countering with half the price. In the end, they settled at ninety-nine thousand.
After Xu Feng was teleported away, the disciple, holding ninety thousand spirit stones, couldn't stop smiling. The journey from Xinghe City to Shennong Valley's Medicine City required passing through more than ten teleportation points, each costing one thousand spirit stones. Even with a return trip costing only twenty or thirty thousand, he had charged Xu Feng ninety-nine thousand. In his words, this was still a charitable act of saving lives with a generous discount.
Xu Feng naturally wouldn't mind such a small amount of spirit stones; he just wanted a seemingly reasonable excuse to go to Shennong Valley.
Chen Erhuo was handed over to Lord of Luofu, Shen Weifeng. It would be extremely difficult for Walker to find Chen Erhuo under Shen Weifeng at the Great Perfection Stage. Meanwhile, Xu Feng, taking advantage of these two months, traveled light and hurried to Shennong Valley, hoping to obtain the Antidote, and then return to save Chen Ermei. This way, time would barely be enough.
Whether Xu Feng could successfully obtain the Antidote, and whether Chen Ermei lived or died, depended on their fates.
