The fleeing monk turned out to be Hua Qian Zhi, a talent from the Liuxiang Kingdom, now being chased like a dog.
Hua Qian Zhi left home at a young age and followed Huo Jinxing to Zheguo, becoming a disciple of Sinking Sand Valley. With excellent aptitude, Hua Qian Zhi quickly advanced to Yuan Ying. After returning to Liuxiang Kingdom, he unexpectedly lost to Xu Feng and subsequently went into seclusion. Over two hundred years passed, and he managed to reach the Early Stage of Spirit Separation, but he was still two levels behind his sister, Hua Wanduo.
At the Early Stage of Spirit Separation, such strength was only considered above average in Liuxiang Kingdom and not top-tier.
Seeing that Hua Qian Zhi was about to be killed, Xu Feng lightly coughed and flew down between the three, separating them from Hua Qian Zhi. Xu Feng's cough contained a hint of Sorrowful Technique, which momentarily eased the spirits of the two attackers, causing them to halt at Xu Feng's command.
"Is it you?" Hua Qian Zhi recognized Xu Feng at a glance, his blood-red eyes filled with doubt, which quickly turned into resignation.
Two hundred years ago, he had been defeated by Xu Feng. Now, two hundred years later, Xu Feng had already challenged the Great Perfection Stage while Hua Qian Zhi was still at the Early Stage of Spirit Separation. For Xu Feng to kill him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
The other two did not recognize Xu Feng and saw that he was only at the Mid Stage of Spirit Separation. They said, "This is our private matter in Sinking Sand Valley. I advise you to be sensible; cultivation is not easy, and preserving your life is crucial. If you leave now, we won't make things difficult for you."
Xu Feng had come to Zheguo to kill the first batch of people from Sinking Sand Valley's Golden Core Disciples and had also killed Huo Jinxing and Huo Yin Yue siblings. He had no intention of caring about these two insignificant figures.
Xu Feng replied, "You can leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened."
"Arrogant!" The two stopped talking and launched an attack together.
Xu Feng's body shook with power... cough, he raised his right hand and lightly threw a punch.
A fist imprint several meters wide appeared out of nowhere. Bang! Bang! The two attackers had no power to resist and were sent flying backward—one rolled ten times on the ground while the other rolled eight times. After rolling ten and eight times respectively, they felt as if their heads were spinning.
Two Mid Stage of Spirit Separation opponents were dealt with in one punch. Hua Qian Zhi's mouth could fit an egg; was this still the Xu Feng from Liuxiang Kingdom? Was this still the Xu Feng who had been knocked unconscious by Huo Jinxing with a single palm strike?
Xu Feng looked at Hua Qian Zhi and asked, "Where are you going?" He did not inquire why he was being chased; the reason was no longer important. Now that the entire Sinking Sand Valley had mobilized, they were no match for Xu Feng—there was nothing more to ask.
Hua Qian Zhi lowered his head under Xu Feng's gaze. In front of this former rival, he once again felt his own weakness and softly said, "I want to return to Wuhua Island."
Xu Feng looked at his injuries; they were just superficial wounds and exhaustion, nothing serious. He asked, "Where do you plan to go back from?"
Hua Qian Zhi replied, "I am familiar with Sinking Sand Valley and Jingcheng Auction. I used the Teleportation Array of Jingcheng Auction to come and go in the past."
"Alright," Xu Feng guessed they would use that route, "let's go back together."
Xu Feng stood up and walked towards Xibai City, while Hua Qian Zhi silently followed behind like a child who had done something wrong. The two Divine Separation Practitioners from Sinking Sand Valley lay on the ground pretending to be dead, not daring to move an inch.
After passing through the Teleportation Array of Xibai City, Xu Feng and Hua Qian Zhi appeared at Jingcheng Auction.
As expected, Hong Guang was not at Jingcheng Auction. Fortunately, since Xu Feng had been there before, everyone recognized him after the battle at Cat Ear Mountain. Xu Feng was the leader of Liuxiang Kingdom, and Luo Changzhu from Jingcheng Auction had specifically instructed not to offend Xu Feng.
Xu Feng took Hua Qian Zhi on a tour around Jingcheng Auction and found that the items here had changed dramatically compared to ten years ago. Many high-quality magical treasures, Cultivation Methods, and elixirs could be purchased here; it was no longer the same Spirit Root Plate as before.
With the exit of Gathering of the Immortals, Jingcheng Auction became the only "foreign enterprise" in Liuxiang Kingdom. Prices were higher than those in Zheguo but not excessively so.
After leaving Jingcheng Auction, they walked through the streets of Mist City. Hua Qian Zhi looked dejected; he had been away for so long and returned only to seek revenge on Xu Feng, causing chaos in Liuxiang Kingdom.
After the battle at Cat Ear Mountain, Liuxiang Kingdom showcased its strength. Although it was far from being as powerful as Zheguo, it was significantly stronger than sects like Sinking Sand Valley.
It was only after launching that battle at Yue Ren Mountain Villa that Hua Qian Zhi finally had a change of heart. He decided to return to Wuhua Island to contribute to Liuxiang Kingdom in any way he could.
After Huo Jinxing was eliminated by Xu Feng, Hua Qian Zhi found himself without protection in Sinking Sand Valley. He faced ostracism from several senior brothers and lived a difficult life. When Sinking Sand Valley discovered his intention to return to Liuxiang Kingdom, they intensified their persecution. Ultimately, when Hua Qian Zhi attempted to escape, they attacked him with lethal intent. If it weren't for Xu Feng's intervention, he would not have survived.
Xu Feng naturally wouldn't dwell on past grievances; Hua Qian Zhi's desire to return was a good thing for Liuxiang Kingdom.
Xu Feng's reputation in Liuxiang Kingdom was immense; familiar cultivators greeted him as they passed by, and Xu Feng responded courteously each time. Hua Qian Zhi had been away for so long that far fewer people recognized him; occasionally, he would encounter those he had fought against in the past, which made him feel quite embarrassed.
Before leaving Mist City, Hua Qian Zhi decided to return to Wuhua Island alone.
Xu Feng returned alone to Bailu Mountain and threw all the items he had bought, including the Cultivation Method, to Gao Jingsong before retreating into the forbidden area of the back mountain for another closed-door meditation.
In the secret chamber, Xu Feng dug out the rings of Not Returning Child and Silverbeard.
He had only glanced at these two rings while searching for Fire Sand; there were too many items inside, and he had no time to sort them out. Now, he finally had some space.
The inventory in these two rings could easily surpass the total wealth of a medium-sized sect. Both Not Returning Child and Silverbeard held the status of city lords, and their annual offerings could rival the ten-year income of Sinking Sand Valley.
In the space, a massive pile of spirit stones accumulated like a mountain, all high-quality spirit stones, almost exceeding the entire Spiritual Ore Vein that Xu Feng had collected. The elixirs were all Ninth-Level Pills used by those at the Great Perfection Stage, with over a dozen bottles, each one extremely precious.
The magical treasures belonging to both were few; aside from a few Supreme Treasure Swords, there was only that Fire Sand. Fire Sand was a consumable item, similar to a Treasure Talisman; once used, it could not be reused. Not Returning Child's Fire Sand had already been consumed, leaving only Silverbeard's still stored in the space.
Fire Sand was contained in a specially made storage bag; when needed, one could simply open the bag and use spiritual power to activate it.
According to Nongyi's method, this Fire Sand had already been exposed. Wuwei Academy would definitely have remade the poison, and Xu Feng did not dare to use it. If he did, he would be discovered, which would lead to trouble.
After organizing the items in his space, Xu Feng twisted Silverbeard out.
"Silverbeard, today we are going to settle old scores."
Silverbeard was startled and quickly said, "I don't want to settle accounts with you! I was wrong; please spare me! I will definitely hide my identity and start anew."
At this point, he couldn't help but plead for mercy. Silverbeard finally realized that while Chen Erhuo was indeed terrifying, he seemed gentle compared to Xu Feng's Gale Sword Formation. Chen Erhuo could kill one person with a single sword strike at most, while Xu Feng had killed both Not Returning Child and Silverbeard with one sword strike simultaneously.
"Silverbeard, we have five years until our duel; how can you let me down?"
Silverbeard pleaded, "Please spare me! I was blind and offended someone as talented as you. You are truly gifted; talented people do not hold grudges. Please let it go..." In his desperation, Silverbeard learned to change his words.
"No, no, no! We still need to compete; I must give you this opportunity." With this statement from Xu Feng, the mental energy of the second layer of Sorrowful Technique's Sadness Realm attacked Silverbeard's exposed Yuan Ying directly.
Silverbeard felt his mind go blank, no longer knowing what day it was.
The Water Elemental Energy from the Great Achievement Stage Cultivator continuously surged into Xu Feng's body, causing Xu Feng's Water Element power to soar uncontrollably, unstoppable like a force of nature.
At the same time, a large amount of Great Perfection Stage laws were extracted, allowing Xu Feng to glimpse the profound mysteries of the Great Perfection Stage ahead of time.
Poor Silverbeard; throughout his life, he never once looked Xu Feng in the eye. When he finally had to, he was already dead beneath Xu Feng's sword. Now, all his life essence flowed into Xu Feng's pocket, serving as the final price for Xu Ruchu's palm strike.
Silverbeard's Yuan Ying burned fiercely for a month before it finally extinguished.
Xu Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes. A faint layer of water mist flashed across his gaze. After a month of absorption, fueled by Silverbeard's fearless spirit of "if I don't go to hell, who will," Xu Feng lived up to Silverbeard's expectations and finally achieved Water Element Great Achievement, advancing to the Divine Separation Late Stage.
Thanks to Wuwei Academy, thanks to Silverbeard.
Having advanced to the Divine Separation Late Stage, Xu Feng's physical body became even more formidable, and his spiritual power grew denser. Although he only advanced in Water Element, it was still more useful than being at mid-stage in Wood Element. Once entering the Divine Separation Late Stage, Xu Feng gained a powerful weapon: the Superior Dao Instrument Ice Fire Blade!
The Ice Fire Blade is a dual-attribute Dao Artifact that can be activated by Fire. With the power of a Superior Dao Instrument, one swing from Xu Feng could severely injure even those at Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. Now that he had crossed into Divine Separation Late Stage and with the help of Exotic Eye, it was as if he could stride forward; below Late Stage of Great Achievement, he could walk unimpeded.
Provided that one was willing to risk their life...
With the strength of Divine Separation Late Stage, there was indeed a change within him. Exotic Eye eagerly absorbed Xu Feng's Water Elemental Energy, its red-black face filled with excitement.
Sensing the agitation of Ice Fire Blade, Xu Feng stood up and shouted, "Exotic Eye, come out!"
With a flick of his wrist, Ice Fire Blade flew out and into his hand.
As he urged the Water Elemental Energy, the seemingly ordinary Ice Fire Blade suddenly radiated cold light like a sun breaking through encirclement, emitting dazzling brilliance. This light was intermingled with red and white hues, causing the Spiritual Energy in the chamber to become frenzied.
"Who is it? What is happening?"
"Group Leader is inside; something might have happened. Quickly call Master Gao Qunzh over."
"Group Leader Yi has arrived; everyone, step aside!"
The back mountain was in chaos, with a strong light flashing in the forbidden area, the outcome uncertain.
Yi Jiuzhou looked in the direction of the strong light and shouted, "Group Leader, how are you? I'm coming in." Without waiting for Xu Feng to respond, Yi Jiuzhou leaped into the forbidden area, while the other disciples hesitated to enter without permission.
The strong light suddenly vanished, and Xu Feng walked out with a slightly flushed face.
"It's fine, it's fine. Everyone go back; just pretend nothing happened. This is the result of my training with the Great Strength King Fist. I apologize for startling everyone."
Xu Feng tried hard to downplay the situation, but inwardly he was astonished. Damn it, the Superior Dao Instrument caused such a commotion upon its emergence. In the future, unless it’s a life-or-death moment, I must never use it. If an old ghost from the Transcendence Period finds out, it would be too late to regret.
