Xu Feng used the Ten Refinements of Ice and Fire Blade and the Xuan Guang Jing, but he was unable to use one due to lack of ability and the other due to lack of time.
The Yue Ren Mountain Villa sent people to demand that the Liuxiang Kingdom hand over individuals. Chu Wushang's tactical philosophy was defensive, which Xu Feng could not accept, so he had no choice but to flee.
He ran to Cat Ear Mountain!
It was absolutely unacceptable for Xu Feng to be passively beaten without retaliating. He decided to scout the situation alone. With the unique power of the Exotic Dragon within him, even if he couldn't win, cultivators at the Divine Separation Late Stage would not be able to catch up with him.
As night fell, Xu Feng flew out from Bailu Mountain and disappeared into the dense forest of the Beast Wasteland.
At Cat Ear Mountain, in a temporarily constructed pavilion, Fang Wenshan was comforting the seven Deputy Pond Masters of Nine Dragon Pool.
This time, Nine Dragon Pool sent eight Deputy Pond Masters on their trip to Liuxiang Kingdom, which was quite a significant mobilization, missing only one main pond master. Now, apart from the severely injured Xiang Qi, all seven pond masters were present.
The representative of the Seven People was from the Second Floor, who was currently negotiating with Fang Wenshan. "Leader Fang, we at Nine Dragon Pool are just an unnamed sect and cannot compare to your Yue Ren Mountain Villa. However, our people cannot die in vain. Excluding other disciples, my seventh brother is now severely injured, all thanks to Xu Feng. I hope Leader Fang can seek justice for Nine Dragon Pool."
Fang Wenshan reassured him, "Xu Feng is just a minor threat; we can deal with him anytime. The problem is that this is not just about Xu Feng; we are facing a greater enemy. If we do not find out who killed Chen Hong, who was Mu Jianlin's Mid Stage of Spirit Separation cultivator, the next one to die could be you or me. Remember, we are not facing just one enemy."
Chen Hong was a powerful Mid Stage of Spirit Separation cultivator who had been brutally killed by someone unknown.
The Second Floor replied angrily, "With so many sects involved, why must we take on this investigation? Who cares about our seventh brother's situation?" Nine Dragon Pool had the weakest strength in this operation and played a role akin to errand runners; even other Nascent Soul Disciples from the Three Factions could look down on them.
Fang Wenshan said, "Deputy Master Two, we are a whole; we cannot let emotions dictate our actions. We must follow organizational arrangements. There is a reason I asked you to investigate; do not let momentary impulses put all Zheguo cultivators in danger." Fang Wenshan spoke with an air of authority he seemed to have learned from somewhere.
In the battle at Sealing Magic Gorge, Fang Wenshan was tasked by Wuwei Academy to organize a group of strong individuals against Pingdao Sect and Li Hua Palace but suffered heavy losses at the hands of Ye Qiongyao. However, he also inflicted damage on Pingdao Sect and Li Hua Palace; Xu Ruchu died tragically in that conflict, and ultimately the Sorrowful Technique was seized by Silverbeard. Fang Wenshan received rewards from Wuwei Academy for this.
In this operation against Liuxiang Kingdom, Fang Wenshan took charge again and brought experts from Azure Cloud Pavilion and Mu Jianlin along while also incorporating Nine Dragon Pool midway. As Yue Ren Mountain Villa ranked seventh in Xian Dao and had slightly stronger capabilities, it was natural for him to lead. Unfortunately for Nine Dragon Pool, they thought they could gain benefits by following Yue Ren Mountain Villa but ended up being the first ones to suffer losses.
Two hundred years ago, Nine Dragon Pool, led by Xiang Ge, was the first to arrive at Liuxiang Kingdom, but they never returned and ended up giving many magical artifacts to Liuxiang Kingdom for free. The Gale Sword Formation, which was looked down upon by others, was brought to prominence in Xu Feng's hands.
"Alright, let's investigate," said Second Floor, while thinking about how to demand people from Liuxiang Kingdom. He was determined to capture Xu Feng; as for Mu Jianlin's Chen Hong, he could die for all he cared.
Seeing Second Floor back down, Fang Wenshan felt pleased. "You Nine Dragon Pool still want to throw a tantrum with me? You're too naive."
Suddenly, a disciple from Azure Cloud Pavilion flew in. The disciple hurriedly said, "Leader Fang, I, Zhang Shishu, have found the murderer of Ahong."
Fang Wenshan immediately stood up and asked, "Where is he?"
"At our Azure Cloud Pavilion's base. Zhang Shishu even fought him."
"Oh? Did you win?"
"No, Zhang Shishu died..."
Another Divine Separation Practitioner had fallen. Fang Wenshan felt dizzy with anger and shouted, "Who is this person? It's impossible for anyone from Liuxiang Kingdom to kill a Mid Stage of Spirit Separation practitioner. Xu Feng has just advanced; at most he could tie with a Mid Stage of Spirit Separation. Who is that person?"
"It's Ye Qiongyao from Li Hua Palace."
"Ah!" Fang Wenshan was taken aback. He had suffered greatly under Ye Qiongyao last time. Although he himself was at the Divine Separation Late Stage, he was far from being Ye Qiongyao's opponent.
"Let's go take a look." Fang Wenshan didn't know why Ye Qiongyao would come here. Out of respect, he had no choice but to force himself to act as if he wanted to kill someone.
Cat Ear Mountain spanned over twenty miles wide. Originally filled with third and fourth level beasts, now those beasts had fled without a trace.
Fang Wenshan, along with the Nine Dragon Pool and Seven People, quickly flew to the camp of the Azure Cloud Pavilion.
The night was not dark; the moonlight flowed like water.
Ye Qiongyao stood alone with her sword, the moonlight casting a silvery sheen upon her.
Beneath her sword lay three bodies, all of whom were experts at the Divine Separation Stage from the Azure Cloud Pavilion. Now, they lay motionless, having become souls under Ye Qiongyao's blade.
Dozens of disciples from the Azure Cloud Pavilion surrounded Ye Qiongyao, yet no one dared to take a step forward.
Eighty years ago, Ye Qiongyao had been injured by Silverbeard. After her recovery, her strength had increased significantly, and she showed faint signs of advancing to the Great Perfection Stage. Fang Wenshan felt an involuntary sense of helplessness upon seeing Ye Qiongyao.
The Yue Ren Mountain Villa, Azure Cloud Pavilion, and Mu Jianlin's Three Factions combined had nine experts at the Divine Separation Late Stage, which would easily secure their dominance over Liuxiang Kingdom. If they joined forces against Ye Qiongyao, they would have a good chance of victory. However, Ye Qiongyao's reputation was formidable, and as a favored disciple of Li Hua Palace, Fang Wenshan did not dare to make a move.
Ye Qiongyao coldly snorted, "Fang Wenshan, we meet again."
Fang Wenshan replied, "It's been a long time, Daoist friend Ye."
Ye Qiongyao said, "I didn't wish to see you. So hurry up and take your people away, or you might end up dead under my sword." With that, she kicked one person away.
Fang Wenshan, being the leader, could no longer maintain his composure after such treatment from Ye Qiongyao. Angrily he said, "Ye Qiongyao, you have killed many of my people. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being rude!" The experts beside him all became vigilant and prepared to act.
Ye Qiongyao responded, "The New Moon Sect in Liuxiang Kingdom is where Cai Shujun was born and raised. Cai Shujun is our saintess in Li Hua Palace. Do you think Li Hua Palace will stand by idly?"
Cai Shujun had not forgotten the New Moon Sect; although she had not yet arrived, her heart was already there.
"Wherever you listen," Fang Wenshan said, "we of the Three Factions will not give up because of a single saintess from Li Hua Palace. As long as the New Moon Sect does not interfere, I will give him a place to stand. If they choose to meddle, they will only bring about their own destruction." Fang Wenshan was already aware that the New Moon Sect was one of the three major powers in the Liuxiang Kingdom.
Ye Qiongyao replied, "Then there's nothing good about it."
Fang Wenshan knew Ye Qiongyao's temperament and quickly said, "Attack!"
Nine Divine Separation Late Stage cultivators all lunged at Ye Qiongyao, while cultivators of other realms cheered from the sidelines. Sword lights flashed, casting vibrant neon colors across Cat Ear Mountain.
With nine Divine Separation Late Stage cultivators attacking simultaneously, they were capable of battling against someone at the Great Perfection Stage. Ye Qiongyao found herself at a disadvantage as she faced them alone.
Ye Qiongyao flew out of the fray and shouted, "Fang Wenshan, I may not be able to defeat your nine men, but I can kill all your subordinates. Just wait." With that, Ye Qiongyao turned and flew away, and no one could stop her.
No one could match her in a one-on-one fight; anyone who tried to chase her would only bring misfortune upon themselves.
Fang Wenshan did not truly wish to kill Ye Qiongyao and provoke Li Hua Palace; he only wanted to incapacitate her like at Sealing Magic Gorge so she would retreat willingly. He echoed back, "Ye Qiongyao, you'd better not come back. Blades have no eyes; next time you might not be so lucky."
Fang Wenshan's heart raced with anxiety. What if Ye Qiongyao really ambushed them from the shadows?
Suddenly, a powerful force pressed down from above in the moonlight, and Ye Qiongyao hurriedly swung her sword to block it.
Boom! Ye Qiongyao was knocked down along with her sword. Although she wasn't injured, she looked extremely disheveled, and her eyes narrowed in alarm.
"You think you can come and go as you please? Do you think Li Hua Palace is just any ordinary faction?"
From the shadows of the trees emerged an unassuming cultivator. As soon as he appeared, Fang Wenshan and the others immediately bowed in respect. "Senior Qianlongzi, we are incompetent juniors."
Qianlongzi, one of the six disciples of Wuwei Academy, is renowned alongside Silverbeard, both being practitioners at the Great Perfection Stage. It's no wonder he was able to knock Ye Qiongyao down with a single strike.
Ye Qiongyao felt a surge of determination. After being injured by Silverbeard, she had spent many years in seclusion at Li Hua Palace, believing she could take revenge on Silverbeard for that past blow. However, despite her prowess at the Divine Separation Stage, there was still a gap compared to the Great Perfection Stage. The might of Qianlongzi's strike left her feeling overwhelmed.
Qianlongzi looked at Ye Qiongyao and said, "To be able to withstand my strike without injury, your strength must be the best below Great Achievement."
Ye Qiongyao raised her sword and replied, "I may not only be able to take your strike."
Fang Wenshan secretly scoffed; this was a death wish she had brought upon herself.
As expected, Qianlongzi said, "Then let's see if you can take another strike."
Qianlongzi extended his arm and gathered spiritual energy in his hand, forming a fist-sized sphere of light. The sphere wasn't dazzling but was filled with potent spiritual power. With a flick of his finger, the sphere shot towards Ye Qiongyao.
The sphere moved slowly but unpredictably, making it difficult to evade.
Ye Qiongyao's brows furrowed as she drew her sword, its cold gleam intensifying as she slashed at the sphere.
Bang! Ye Qiongyao was sent flying far away, just like years ago when she was struck down by a single blow, losing consciousness on the spot.
Having faced the Great Perfection Stage twice and being knocked down both times, this girl truly had a hard fate.
Qianlongzi stood proudly at the scene and coldly declared, "You overestimate yourself!"
Just as Fang Wenshan was about to restrain Ye Qiongyao, the space suddenly turned icy. Qianlongzi shouted, "Who goes there? Step forward and show yourself!"
No one responded around, yet a chilling killing intent spread throughout the area.
"Heart!" Qianlongzi suddenly moved, his robe billowing open as he soared into the air like a great bird.
Before Fang Wenshan and the others could react, they saw Sky shoot out thirteen Flying Swords, each one a Supreme Treasure Sword. The Flying Swords surrounded Qianlongzi, and then one pierced through his body.
"Ah!" Qianlongzi let out a terrible cry, managing to block only five of the Flying Swords, while the remaining eight completely pierced through his body. Qianlongzi flew up like a great bird, only to fall back down moments later.
In just one move, Qianlongzi, one of the six disciples of Wuwei Academy, was killed on the spot!
A shadow darted out, grabbing Ye Qiongyao from the ground and disappearing deep into the Beast Wasteland.
Fang Wenshan and the others stood frozen in shock, watching as Qianlongzi met his tragic end. They hadn’t even seen their opponent's face clearly; even if they had, they pretended not to have seen it, fearing that the Flying Swords would turn on them next.
The moonlight remained bright, but the air was thick with the stench of blood and the sight of Qianlongzi's lifeless body, eyes wide open in death.
