“Ziren!” Lingfeng exclaimed in surprise.
Emerging from the crowd was indeed Ziren, cradling the Soul-Devouring Cat in his arms.
“You, you didn’t leave?” Lingfeng asked in astonishment.
Ziren smirked lazily, saying, “How could I leave without reclaiming the Phoenix Pearl?”
Lingfeng felt a wave of despair; without the help of the sect leader, escaping from him would be quite difficult. However, Lingfeng maintained a calm demeanor and replied, “You want to catch me? Go ahead. The fact that I dared to come here means I’m prepared!”
Ziren raised an eyebrow, squinting at Lingfeng, then gently placed the Soul-Devouring Cat on the ground. “Feel free to use any techniques you have. If you don’t suffer a bit, you probably won’t hand over the Phoenix Pearl and the Falling Leaf Technique!”
The Soul-Devouring Cat stretched lazily, showing no fear of Lingfeng, and with a flick of its body, transformed into its Cat Transformation form.
A shiver ran down Lingfeng’s spine; after all, the last time the Soul-Devouring Cat had faced trouble, it had likely learned some precautions.
Indeed, the Soul-Devouring Cat charged at Lingfeng, arms wide open as if to give him a hug.
Lingfeng grinned nervously and quickly summoned Mei’s Plum Blossom Dart into his hand. He took a few steps back and immediately executed Gold Manipulation. The Plum Blossom Dart transformed into a streak of black light and shot out from Lingfeng’s sleeve.
The Soul-Devouring Cat paused momentarily but showed no fear as it continued its charge toward Lingfeng.
Then came a loud thud as the Plum Blossom Dart struck the cat’s arm but immediately fell to the ground.
Startled, Lingfeng watched as the spiritual energy on the Plum Blossom Dart dissipated, unsure of what had happened.
The Soul-Devouring Cat let out a triumphant cry, shaking its arms to reveal iron rings hidden within.
"Turns out you were prepared!" Lingfeng finally understood what was going on.
The Plum Blossom Dart was originally a Common Item that could not store spiritual power for long. Now, encountering the Soul-Devouring Cat and the iron ring on its arm, the spiritual power would naturally be dispersed.
Lingfeng's eyes darted around as he pretended to be scared and fled towards the garden, but his speed was not fast.
The Soul-Devouring Cat revealed its playful nature, excitedly calling out and immediately following him. In just a flash, it appeared in front of Lingfeng.
Lingfeng made a face at the Soul-Devouring Cat and with a swift motion, a white light flashed, causing the iron ring on the Soul-Devouring Cat's arm to clatter to the ground.
It turned out that Lingfeng was holding a low-grade Celestial Weapon, the Ivory Bone Knife! The iron ring on the Soul-Devouring Cat's arm was at most a high-grade item; how could it withstand the sharpness of the Ivory Bone Knife?
The Soul-Devouring Cat was momentarily stunned, blinking at the iron ring on the ground and then looking at Lingfeng in surprise, only to see Lingfeng's wicked grin. Suddenly, its arm fell off again.
Lingfeng laughed heartily as he watched the Soul-Devouring Cat revert to its original form, shouting, "You think you can compete with me, you broken cat?"
Ziren's face turned pale with anger as he looked at the Soul-Devouring Cat lying on the ground, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. Suddenly, he erupted with a burst of light, transforming into a purple afterimage and charging at Lingfeng.
Knowing he was no match for Ziren, Lingfeng casually threw the Plum Blossom Dart at him. However, Ziren not only did not slow down but effortlessly caught the Plum Blossom Dart and threw it back.
Lingfeng inwardly lamented that he had angered Ziren and feared he would suffer for it. He then took out the Connecting Rod, preparing to fight back.
"Ha!" Ziren shouted explosively as one arm swung towards him.
Lingfeng quickly raised the Connecting Rod to block it, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. Seizing the opportunity, he extended his right leg to kick at Ziren's groin.
Ziren snorted coldly and suddenly leaped into the air, effortlessly trapping Lingfeng's right leg between his feet.
Lingfeng let out a cry of pain, feeling as if his right foot had been twisted off. He quickly recited the Gold Manipulation incantation, only to see the stone slabs on the ground suddenly fly up like flying knives, heading towards Ziren.
Ziren did not take it seriously; he rolled to the side and then lightly waved his hands. Dozens of domineering purple beams shot out from his sleeves, shattering all the stone slabs.
"Gold Manipulation?" Ziren was somewhat surprised. He had thought Lingfeng was just a mediocre cultivator, but he did not expect Lingfeng to know the Five Elements Technique. He sneered coldly, as if he had found a worthy opponent, and transformed his hands into claws, lunging at Lingfeng.
At this moment, Lingfeng still held a Plum Blossom Dart in his hand. Ziren's reckless charge exposed many openings, which made Lingfeng delighted. He recited the Gold Manipulation again, and the Plum Blossom Dart shimmered, slicing through the air towards Ziren's face.
"Hehe!" Ziren seemed to have no intention of dodging. Instead, he randomly grabbed at the air with both hands, and a mass of air balloons appeared in his grasp. He then pushed forward, and that mass of air suddenly transformed into a transparent sword.
"Ha!"
The mass of air collided directly with the Plum Blossom Dart, accompanied by a muffled sound as both the air and the Plum Blossom Dart shattered and disappeared.
"What terrifying power!"
Lingfeng was astonished and felt utterly helpless. However, Ziren had already charged forward. Lingfeng dared not resist and quickly leaped onto the roof.
At that moment, flames surged up from within the dungeon.
Lingfeng grinned; it seemed he had another weapon. Seizing the opportunity, he used the Fire Control Technique, gathering Spiritual Energy in his hands and shooting it towards the flames.
When the flames met the Spiritual Energy, they transformed into a fire dragon that roared towards Ziren.
Ziren was in mid-air and did not expect Lingfeng to also know the Fire Control Technique. Seeing the fire dragon rushing towards him, he soared upward like a swallow.
"Haha, now you see my power!" Lingfeng was quite pleased and waved his hand. The fire dragon received its command and transformed into a Fire Phoenix, spewing flames as it flew towards Ziren.
"Hmph!"
Ziren squinted, no longer dodging, but stood firmly on the ground.
"Ah, you want to surrender? I'm not that easy to deal with!" Lingfeng thought Ziren was out of tricks.
Suddenly, Ziren's clothes exploded, and a large amount of purple light burst forth from his body, forming a layer of purple protective shield.
The Fire Phoenix breathed flames but could not harm Ziren in the slightest.
Lingfeng's eyes lit up as he increased his power.
The Fire Phoenix transformed into a fire spear, rapidly stabbing at Ziren's protective shield.
Ziren frowned, quickly reciting a few lines of Incantation, and his body began to rise as the purple protective shield started to fade away.
Taking advantage of this moment, the Fire Phoenix charged forward suddenly.
However, Ziren's body floated lightly, like a falling leaf. Under the influence of the Fire Phoenix's heat waves, he flipped and soared several times without a scratch!
"Falling Leaf Technique!"
Lingfeng realized that Ziren was using the Falling Leaf Technique and felt a surge of fear. He hurriedly transformed the Fire Phoenix into a fireball and escaped just as the fireball exploded.
As Lingfeng vanished from the courtyard of the White Jade Escort Agency, the fireball suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
Ziren naturally remained unharmed, but the poor servants of the White Jade Escort Agency were engulfed in flames amidst their screams.
Lingfeng had consumed a large amount of spiritual energy and gradually felt his body becoming weak. However, to avoid Ziren's detection, he quietly restrained his spiritual energy.
At that moment, Ziren was trapped by Lingfeng's fireballs inside the White Jade Escort Agency. The flames surged around him, and the servants nearby had already turned to ashes.
Finally, as the fireballs began to dissipate, Ziren suddenly took off in pursuit of Lingfeng's escape direction.
However, strangely, despite releasing all the sensing abilities within his body, Ziren could not detect even the slightest trace of Lingfeng's presence. After chasing for several miles without sight of Lingfeng, he had no choice but to return to the White Jade Escort Agency.
In fact, Lingfeng was hiding in a patch of grass by the roadside.
Seeing Ziren leave, Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief and took out the charm given to him by Enchanting. It was this charm that helped Lingfeng evade Ziren's pursuit.
Lingfeng did not dare to stay long and stumbled toward Herb Hall. However, he had barely walked a short distance when he saw Mei.
“Lingfeng! Lingfeng!” Mei's anxious voice reached Lingfeng before he lost consciousness.
In a daze, Lingfeng felt as if he had arrived somewhere unfamiliar. He felt lost and helpless. The place was shrouded in darkness; he could see neither land nor light, not even himself. All he could feel was his own existence, surviving alone in this lightless world.
“Is anyone there?” Lingfeng called out tentatively.
But in the vast dark world, no one answered; there wasn't even an echo.
After a long while, laughter came from not far away, and gradually light appeared around him. Two children emerged ahead.
“Ling Xueer?” Lingfeng seemed to see hope; it turned out that playing there were Ling Xueer and his younger self. However, despite calling out repeatedly, neither his younger self nor Ling Xueer seemed to hear his cries.
Suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness, Lingfeng found himself on a street.
On the street, Ling Xueer was running ahead while Lingfeng was chasing after her. At the end of the street, Azure Vine looked at the two children with a face full of fear.
"Is this a dream? Why am I having such a terrifying dream?" Lingfeng said, on the verge of tears, wondering why events from many years ago were so vivid in his mind.
"Because you have forgotten your goal!" Suddenly, a man's voice echoed in the emptiness.
"Who are you?" Lingfeng shuddered and quickly looked up.
In the distance, Lingfeng saw a black figure. The figure was blurry all over, about the same height as him, but he could not see any facial features.
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Lingfeng asked again.
"I am you, and you are me!" the man replied slowly, seemingly without any malice.
"Am I dreaming?" Lingfeng asked once more.
The man sighed and said, "Dreams arise from the heart; therefore, dreams are also a kind of reality!"
