Feeling the significant change in Xu Feng's aura, Lin Fangxin immediately realized and exclaimed, "Group Leader, you..."
Xu Feng replied, "That's right, I have advanced to the Golden Core Mid-Stage."
Xu Feng's body was quite unique; he had only advanced to Fire Element One Star. If he drew on powers from other elements, he would only emit the aura of Early Stage of Golden Core. Xu Feng was like a chameleon with five different versions, able to switch the elemental attributes of his spiritual energy at will.
Xu Feng silently operated the Earth Element Cultivation Method, and instantly returned to the Early Stage of Golden Core realm. Lin Fangxin knew that Xu Feng practiced both Fire and Earth dual cultivation. It was already impressive for him to advance to Fire Element One Star in just a month; it was understandable that he hadn't yet advanced in Earth Element.
She blamed herself for disturbing him; otherwise, given more time, the Group Leader might have also elevated the Earth Element Cultivation Method to Golden Core Mid-Stage. Lin Fangxin quietly reproached herself.
"What about Gao Jingsong?"
"He went to Wan Jian Sect. He doesn't know about this yet, but this matter is too significant; he will likely hear about it soon."
"Is Yi Jiuzhou still in seclusion?"
"No, according to the accompanying elder, Yi Jiuzhou's Golden Core is unlike others; he can't gauge how much longer it will take for him to successfully advance."
"I understand. I'll handle this matter; you all just focus on your own tasks." Xu Feng stepped out of the Elder Council. "Where is Hua Qian Zhi now?"
"At Wuhua Island." Lin Fangxin worried that Xu Feng might be outnumbered and said, "Group Leader, why don't we gather some forces first..."
Xu Feng understood Lin Fangxin's concern for him and reassured her, "Don't worry, I know what to do. I'm not going to Wuhua Island; I'm heading back to New Moon Sect. If I need you, I'll call for you." With that, he unleashed the Wings of the Strange Dragon and flew towards New Moon Sect.
Advancing from Early Stage of Golden Core to Mid-Stage represented a substantial increase in power. Unlike the transition from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, there was no issue of stabilizing cultivation levels; it was immediate and direct. As Xu Feng flew, he adjusted the newly formed Fire Elemental Power within him to quickly adapt to the changes brought by his spiritual energy.
Although he had only advanced one rank, the power gained was sufficient to significantly enhance Xu Feng's strength. He flew swiftly while taking out the Moonchaser Bow and Fire Dragon Whip, using his Golden Core Mid-Stage Fire Elemental Power to propel them in the sky, further mastering the attack power after his advancement.
The Golden Core Mid-Stage Fire Element One Star Chasing Moon Arrow, under double enhancement, approached Late Stage of Golden Core levels. The power of the Fire Dragon Whip also increased significantly and was no weaker than its original master Xu Ye.
At this moment, Xu Feng could summon either the Fire Dragon Whip or Moonchaser Bow and defeat someone at Late Stage of Golden Core. Even if he encountered Hua Wanduo, he would not be at a disadvantage at all.
The upcoming event may very well be a Great War, and one must be fully prepared, with a comprehensive understanding of one's own strength. If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, Xu Feng would really want to summon Ultraman to practice a few moves.
Hua Qian Zhi, what kind of extraordinary encounter has he had to be able to defeat Qiu Wuling in just three moves? Could it be that he is truly a Nascent Soul Period Cultivator?
With Xu Feng's current strength, just surviving in front of a Yuan Ying would be considered good enough. How should this battle be fought? In three days, Cai Shujun will be forced into marriage, and Hua Qian Zhi seems even more anxious than Hua Du.
After flying at full speed for quite some time, he finally arrived at New Moon Sect.
Just last month, the New Moon Sect was thriving, but now it had suddenly become eerily silent. Wangyue Peak was shrouded in a faint aura of death. The patrolling disciples looked listless and had to tread carefully. When they saw Xu Feng approaching, they treated him as an enemy; only after recognizing him did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Feng greeted the leader of the patrol and directly entered the Outer Sect's assembly hall.
Chu Wushang sat in the hall with a grim expression, flanked by several newly promoted elders.
Xu Feng was officially a disciple of New Moon Sect and held the position of Deputy Master of Pharmacy, which made his movements within the sect much easier. The disciples in the assembly hall did not stop him upon seeing Xu Feng and allowed him to enter.
"Chu Zhangmen," Xu Feng saluted.
Chu Wushang had already seen Xu Feng and revealed a bitter smile as he said, "Xu Feng, you’re here. You’ve heard about the situation at Qinglong Mountain, right?"
Seeing Chu Wushang's expression, Xu Feng knew that Lin Fangxin's words were indeed true. "I have heard about it, but I do not know what countermeasures the sect leader has."
"Now that Elder Chen is dead, Elder Qiu has been captured, and Grand Elder is severely injured, there is no one in New Moon Sect who can fight Hua Qian Zhi. We can only wait and see how things unfold," Chu Wushang said helplessly.
"How did Hua Qian Zhi defeat Elder Qiu?"
"You don’t know?" Chu Wushang assumed Xu Feng was already aware of the details. "Hua Qian Zhi has advanced to Yuan Ying and has mastered a swift sword technique. His weapon is a Medium Quality Sword, and Hua Fengxiao even gave him the Azure Dragon Whip. Although Elder Qiu is powerful, he was simply no match for him."
Indeed, he is a Yuan Ying Cultivator and possesses a Superior Magical Artifact—the Azure Dragon Whip. The Azure Dragon Whip uses binding as its attack method; under the restriction of the Golden Snake Cone, it is entirely normal for Elder Qiu to lose in three moves against the Azure Dragon Whip.
With a Medium Quality Sword, an Azure Dragon Whip, and the strength of an Early Stage Nascent Soul cultivator—these three factors combined mean that even if Qiu Shisan were at his peak power, he would still not be Hua Qian Zhi's opponent, let alone Qiu Wuling.
As for Xu Feng, given the current situation, it is impossible to defeat Hua Qian Zhi head-on; one misstep could lead to being captured by the Azure Dragon Whip. With Hua Qian Zhi appearing unexpectedly, the New Moon Sect is likely facing dire straits this time.
"Master, since we cannot contend with Hua Qian Zhi, perhaps Cai Daoyou should take refuge for now," Xu Feng said, most concerned about Cai Shujun. "I may not be talented, but I know a place where Cai Daoyou can remain safe." Xu Feng decided to take Cai Shujun to the Beast Wasteland, where A Qi, the mountain king, would deter Hua Qian Zhi from entering.
"Xu Feng, you are too late," Chu Wushang said with a grim smile. "Hua Qian Zhi is ruthless and acts swiftly. He gave us three hours, but in fact, during the night, Hua Qian Zhi personally came to the New Moon Sect and took Cai Shujun away."
Xu Feng felt as if he had been struck in the heart. "Taken away?"
Knowing it was a rhetorical question, Chu Wushang shook his head and continued, "Hua Qian Zhi's Thunderous Means aims to unify the Liuxiang Kingdom. Cai Shujun and the New Moon Sect are merely sacrifices he uses to intimidate other sects. Without the battle at Nine Dragon Pool, other sects would still have some fighting power. Now that Hua Qian Zhi has the upper hand, he can no longer be coerced."
"Hmph!" Xu Feng knew Chu Wushang spoke the truth but could no longer listen. He leaped out of the hall and unleashed the Wings of the Strange Dragon, rushing toward Wuhua Island.
Watching Xu Feng depart, Chu Wushang sighed, "He only cares about Cai Shujun and Elder Qiu; he has no regard for the life or death of our New Moon Sect."
Fang Gong, standing nearby, moved slightly and said, "Master, while the New Moon Sect has wronged him, I am fortunate to stand alongside Xu Feng against our enemies. I believe Xu Feng is loyal and has received care from Elder Qiu; he will not abandon the New Moon Sect."
Huayuan Qiao echoed his sentiment.
"Let’s hope so," Chu Wushang thought painfully. As the sect leader facing imminent danger, he had to rely on outsiders for rescue; what was more humiliating was that this outsider was originally his disciple. "Since Cai Shujun is set to marry Hua Du soon, I must also go to Wuhua Island. As for sect matters, I leave them to all of you." The New Moon Sect is like family; it is impossible not to send someone to attend the wedding.
Shi Gongfang and Huayuan Qiao both trusted Xu Feng's character; he was straightforward and certainly not someone who would prioritize romantic interests over friendship.
However, in reality, at this moment, Xu Feng was indeed someone who prioritized romance over friendship.
Flying out of the New Moon Sect, Xu Feng cursed as he hurried toward Wuhua Island. The wedding was approaching; today was already the second day, leaving him with only a limited amount of time.
Day and night passed as Xu Feng exhausted himself until his tongue felt like it would fall out. Finally, on the morning of the third day, he arrived at the shores of Wuhua Island; just one more leap would take him onto the island.
At the dock for landing on Wuhua Island stood a shop specializing in cultivating immortals. This shop sold all sorts of miscellaneous items and usually catered exclusively to Wuhua Island's business. Today, however, business was booming due to Hua Du's wedding; all notable sects from Liuxiang Kingdom had been invited to witness the ceremony.
The attending cultivators looked as if they had lost their parents; there was no sign of wedding festivities among them as they crowded at the dock unwilling to board the island. They wandered around the only shop available, buying various items. The shop owner paid no mind to their gloomy expressions; as long as there was money to be made, he cared little for anything else.
Xu Feng was hiding on a nearby mountain, recovering his strength.
The wedding organized by Wuhua Island aimed to undermine the morale of various factions. The New Moon Sect was struck hard, serving as a warning to others. With the elders of the New Moon Sect being killed or captured and disciples taken as dual cultivation partners, their faces were filled with despair. Other factions dared not defy Wuhua Island's orders, as this served as a clear example.
By noon, disciples from Wuhua Island began arriving on giant fish to escort the cultivators from various factions. Among the crowd, Chu Wushang also made an appearance, drawing strange looks from the other cultivators that made him feel so embarrassed he almost wanted to jump into the river.
Xu Fengling had fully recovered and was contemplating how to blend in with Wuhua Island. Finally, he took out a robe from Guo Shan Sword Sect that he had obtained ten years ago and changed into it. At the same time, he consumed a Shape-Shifting Pill, transforming into an ordinary Middle-Aged Cultivator.
Once all the cultivators had entered Wuhua Island, Xu Feng jumped out and waved at the dock.
Soon, a disciple from Wuhua Island came over to greet him. Upon seeing Xu Feng's attire, he questioned, "Isn't Guo Shan Sword Sect already inside?"
"Yes, but I arrived a bit late," Xu Feng replied.
"What were you doing?"
"On a date with my girlfriend."
"Oh, that makes sense. Come aboard. Next time, remember to introduce me to someone."
"Definitely."
Xu Feng successfully entered Wuhua Island. There weren't many attendees for this event; each faction sent no more than five people and no fewer than three. The New Moon Sect had only Chu Wushang present.
Who would want to attend such a humiliating event?
The cultivators were led to the square where the Competition had taken place years ago and sat according to their respective sects. Xu Feng arrived last, and the guiding disciple pointed towards Guo Shan Sword Sect's area, saying, "You all sit over there and don't wander off."
Xu Feng quickly replied, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work. I'll go over myself."
Fearing recognition, Xu Feng avoided heading directly to Guo Shan Sword Sect's area and instead slipped into the crowd of Guiyi Sect further away.
A disciple of the Guiyi Sect saw Xu Feng sneaking in and asked, "Friend, you are a disciple of the Guo Shan Sword Sect. What brings you here?"
"Our location over there is not ideal; it's inconvenient."
"Inconvenient? How so?"
"From Cai Shujun's perspective, it's inconvenient."
"Ah... I understand now. Well, let's squeeze in here; the angle is better this way."
"Thank you."
Xu Feng hid sneakily at the back of the Guiyi Sect, and no one paid him any attention.
