One night, they flew over a thousand mountains.
By the morning of the second day, Xu Feng had already taken Lin Fangxin far away.
After their transformation, the two used the Teleportation Array to arrive at Xibai City and entered the Beast Wasteland that night.
Deep within the Red Flower Forest, the beasts looked around, strong and imposing. Lin Fangxin gazed at the surrounding beasts, feeling as if he had entered a beast empire.
"This is my senior brother, A Qi. From now on, you will follow him. Don't return to Liuxiang Kingdom until you reach the Great Perfection Stage. A Qi, this is Lin Fangxin, the Vice Leader of my Koukou Group. You need to treat him well."
Lin Fangxin had known that Xu Feng had a beast master senior brother but was surprised to find out that it was a Royal Beast. He hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. Being a businessman by nature, he flattered A Qi with a few compliments, making him laugh heartily.
A Qi immediately chose a mountain peak rich in Spiritual Energy for Lin Fangxin to cultivate and assigned three Transformation Stage Beasts to protect him. Xu Feng gave Lin Fangxin Walker's Spatial Ring, which contained numerous high-grade pills and spirit stones, as well as a Low-Grade Dao Artifact of Wood Element that was perfect for Lin Fangxin's use.
If Lin Fangxin could advance to the Great Perfection Stage in the Beast Wasteland and equipped with the Low-Grade Dao Artifact, the strength of Koukou Group would increase significantly. Xu Feng's unique Control Technique had special requirements for talent and could not be practiced by Lin Fangxin. Therefore, he copied the first two layers of the Wuwei Heart Sutra, made slight modifications, and allowed Lin Fangxin to learn it.
The Wuwei Heart Sutra was an exclusive Cultivation Method of Wuwei Academy, renowned as one of the best in Xian Dao Cultivation Methods. It lacked offensive features but allowed for rapid advancement, overpowering opponents with its realm advantage. After Xu Feng modified the Cultivation Method, outsiders would not be able to tell.
Lin Fangxin understood that their current opponent was the giant of Xian Dao, Wuwei Academy. Without strength, going out would mean death. Thus, he cultivated with peace of mind under A Qi's protection, striving for an early breakthrough.
Xu Feng also found a cave to refine Power King and Walker's Yuan Ying.
Power King practiced an Earth Element Cultivation Method and was a seasoned Mid-Stage of Great Achievement powerhouse. In terms of strength, even Gun King was no match for him. After refining Power King, Xu Feng’s Earth Elemental Energy surged to its peak early stage, just one step away from advancing. Although Power King possessed powerful spiritual energy, he lacked any notable Combat Techniques. If Great Strength King Fist were in his hands, its power would undoubtedly increase significantly.
After refining Power King, Xu Feng maximized the power of Great Strength King Fist.
Walker practiced Wood Element Technique and excelled in speed; hence he was called Walker. After advancing to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, his speed increased further and he was dubbed "Wind King," showcasing his incredible agility. If Xu Feng hadn't closed the secret chamber door beforehand, once Walker ran out, even his Wings of the Strange Dragon might not be able to catch up with him.
Walker’s overall strength is not as great as Power King, but his speed is significantly superior. After reaching the mid-stage of advancement, he is even faster than Gun King. After refining Walker, Xu Feng understood the reason: Wind Catching Steps.
This set of footwork focuses solely on speed. The original creator was a powerful figure from the same era as Wuwei Xianzun, who was once an enemy of Wuwei Xianzun. Relying on this footwork, he managed to escape from desperate situations multiple times, and it was only after Wuwei Xianzun gathered over a dozen people that they finally surrounded and killed him.
This footwork has been passed down in Wuwei Academy, but only Walker has successfully cultivated it.
In addition to Wind Catching Steps, Walker also received an important piece of information in his Yuan Ying: one month later, the leader of the Four Great Kings, Gambling King He Xunji, plans to ambush Meng Hui from Golden Stone Workshop.
This operation was personally proposed by the dean Su Ji, with Gambling King He Xunji executing it, while Power King and Walker would cooperate.
Walker came to Redwood City to discuss with Power King who would assist in the financial king's actions. They ultimately decided that Walker would head to Death Marsh to lure Meng Hui out while He Xunji looked for an opportunity to kill him.
The excuse to attract Meng Hui is that a special ore has been discovered in Death Marsh, which is very helpful for refining Dao Artifact. This excuse is identical to the one used when they secretly plotted against Nong Ban years ago.
Wuwei Academy has two reasons for wanting to kill Meng Hui: first, Golden Stone Workshop provided Xu Feng with two Dao Artifacts, resulting in the deaths of Jueqingzi, Heibai Zi, Demon Hunter, Blade King, and a large number of disciples; second, Meng Hui personally taught Xu Feng Shadow Step, making him directly responsible for Xu Feng beheading Jueqingzi.
Wuwei Academy has conflicts with Shennong Valley, Li Hua Palace, Pingdao Sect, and Golden Stone Workshop. With the recent addition of the Xu family, half of the Xian Dao Ten Schools are at odds with Wuwei Academy. This time, Wuwei Academy aims to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and establish dominance over various factions before picking them off one by one.
One month—Xu Feng calculated the time and frowned slightly; it has already been ten days since he escaped from Beast Wasteland.
Death Marsh is located in the west of Zheguo. It is not as far as the Arctic Snowfield directly north but still stretches two million miles away. It is an uninhabited area in the west without a Teleportation Array; flying those two million miles will be a challenge.
Cultivators at Great Perfection Stage can fly at speeds up to ten thousand miles per hour; at least they can cover one hundred thousand miles. In a month, that amounts to three hundred thousand miles. Considering potential errors along the way, Meng Hui is likely already on his way.
Golden Stone Workshop does not treat him well; he cannot refuse this request for help.
That night after refining Walker, Xu Feng greeted A Qi and flew out of Beast Wasteland.
On the way, he changed into the guise of an ordinary cultivator and teleported to the western border. Various rumors filled the air, with the most prominent being the upheaval in Redwood City.
In Zheguo, the deaths of Power King and Walker caused a stir. This news was like a deep-water bomb, shaking the entire Zheguo.
The lord of Redwood City died in a secret chamber, and the newly advanced Wind King also met his end there. Experts from Wuwei Academy entered to investigate and quickly identified the suspect: Xu Feng, the leader of Koukou Group, who had disappeared after the battle on Jumping Fish Island three hundred years ago.
The secret chamber showed clear signs of a Sword Formation attack. According to the analysis by Gun King, only Xu Feng could wield such a powerful Sword Formation. Moreover, after Power King's death, Lin Fangxin was rescued.
Wuwei Academy immediately dispatched experts to Liuxiang Kingdom to eliminate Koukou Group. However, Koukou Group suddenly gained three Great Perfection Stage experts as reinforcements and brought witnesses from Li Hua Palace and Pingdao Sect to testify that no one from Koukou Group had been to Zheguo before or after the incident, and Lin Fangxin had not returned.
Koukou Group presented solid evidence, and Pingdao Sect confidently guaranteed their claims. A discreet investigation by Wuwei Academy confirmed this, forcing them to retreat and let Koukou Group go. They then issued a bounty for Xu Feng: one cultivation method and one Dao Artifact for his capture, along with a reward of ten million spirit stones for any information leading to him.
Xu Feng suppressed his cultivation using Sorrowful Technique, which kept him from raising any suspicions despite their vast difference in realms. He arrived at Qingdao Lake's border right under their noses.
After ten days of continuous travel, covering over a million miles, he still failed to catch up with anyone from Golden Stone Workshop.
There was only one route from Qingdao Lake to Death Marsh. Most cultivators flew themselves or rode spirit beasts; in the sky, they were easily visible. The ground below grew increasingly desolate and sparsely populated; if any cultivator passed through, they would stand out significantly.
Walker’s Yuan Ying did not reveal specific ambush locations; his task was merely to lure Meng Hui out so that Gambling King could eliminate him.
After flying for another five days, he reached the edge of Death Marsh but still found no trace of Meng Hui.
Death Marsh stretched for thousands of miles—a terrifying swamp where seemingly solid ground would collapse underfoot, plunging one into endless mire.
A tired sparrow landed on a stone in the swamp to rest. Suddenly, the stone moved—it was actually the eye of a crocodile. Just as the sparrow lifted its wings, it was caught in the crocodile's massive jaws. The ripples in the swamp quickly subsided as the crocodile returned to its guise as a "stone."
The crocodile's sudden movement startled a nearby wild rabbit. The rabbit stumbled and struggled for a moment before letting out a helpless cry, soon sinking into the mud below.
Two battling black eagles fought in the Sky, and the defeated one fled into the Death Marsh. When it flew over a barren area, it suddenly fell, as there was an almost imperceptible poisonous mist hovering above the barren land.
The Death Marsh consumed land and even Sky creatures with its shifting swamps and abundant toxic fog. Mortals could not survive in the Death Marsh, and low-level birds and beasts could only detour around it.
However, in this desolate Death Marsh, there were several incredible hills where a remarkable metal was discovered, which could be used in Dao Artifacts to enhance their attack power.
This metal indeed existed, just like deceiving Nong Ban into going to Beast Wasteland for medicinal herbs; the items were real, but the actions were false. A half-truth is easier to deceive people.
Wuwei Academy was the first to receive this news and then “accidentally” let Golden Stone Workshop know through some channels. What Walker needed to do was take a few people to the Death Marsh to mine the ore.
Xu Feng stood on the mountaintop at the edge of Death Marsh, gazing at the surroundings. Besides a few animals, he could see nothing else moving.
Suddenly, a powerful aura surged from below the mountain and rushed toward him in an instant.
A cultivator with a handlebar mustache seemed to emerge from the ground, appearing right before Xu Feng.
The mustached man said seriously, “Who are you waiting for? Waiting for Meng Hui? I bet he won’t come, at least not today.”
Seeing someone make a bet upon first meeting, Xu Feng dared not mock him because he recognized from Power King’s memories that this gambling enthusiast with a mustache was none other than He Xunji, the leader of Wuwei Academy's Four Great Kings!
Xu Feng maintained his Divine Separation Stage cultivation and said, “Senior, I am just passing by and taking a stroll through Death Marsh. May I ask how to address you? It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
He Xunji did not respond directly but instead smiled and asked, “Do you know why Meng Hui hasn’t come?”
Xu Feng’s expression darkened as he replied, “I don’t understand what you mean, Senior.”
“He Xunji revealed Xu Feng’s identity with one sentence: “You killed Walker and Power King. Did you not consider Walker’s purpose for this trip? With Walker dead, this plan has been leaked. Judging by the timing, you didn’t have time to notify Golden Stone Workshop and thought you could rush here to save Meng Hui. But you forgot that Walker was an important part of this operation. If you don’t show up, how would Meng Hui come?”
Xu Feng understood that because Walker was suddenly killed, Meng Hui might have judged that this mission was dangerous and decided to cancel it. Meanwhile, Gambling King, being cunning, could not find Xu Feng anywhere on the street, so he set a trap and indeed waited here for Xu Feng to come for rescue.
Although Xu Feng disguised his identity using Sorrowful Technique, appearing at an inappropriate time and place, who else could it be but him?
Seeing that he could no longer maintain the disguise, Xu Feng decided to drop it and revealed his true appearance.
"Since you know it's me, why didn't you bring more people? Do you think you can kill me?"
"I don't know if I can kill you or not. How about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
"You die, I live."
