At this moment, a girl about the same size as Ruo Xi approached her and nudged her, helplessly saying, "Ruo Xi, have you lost your mind? Can you please just go out and have some fun with me? Ever since you came back from that awful place, all you've done is cultivate or daydream about that What Peak. You aren't dreaming about him every night, are you?"
Ruo Xi replied seriously this time, "It's true. Just now, I seemed to sense his presence for a moment. I wonder how he is doing? I hope he hasn't run into any trouble."
"Oh no, you're hopeless," the girl said as she adjusted her cute braid resting on her shoulder and continued casually, "Don't forget, you're the fiancée of the number one person in Sect, Shulun. You can't act like this. You better pray that that guy from What Peak doesn't come over; otherwise, if Shulun finds out, you'll be in big trouble."
Ruo Xi seemed not to hear her at all. She looked out the window and suddenly turned around to grab the girl's arm tightly, excitedly saying, "Li Yi, can you do me a favor?"
The girl named Li Yi grimaced as she tried to pry Ruo Xi's hand off her arm and said irritably, "Hey! Can you lighten up? I thought being your good friend meant I was here to help you relax, not to be your punching bag."
Ruo Xi quickly withdrew her hand and chuckled, "Li Yi, you really have to help me this time."
"What do you need help with? I believe whatever I can do, you can do too," Li Yi said while rubbing her sore shoulder that Ruo Xi had pinched. Suddenly, she looked up at Ruo Xi with wide eyes and exclaimed loudly, "You... you aren't planning to go find that jerk, are you?"
Ruo Xi hurriedly rushed over to cover Li Yi's mouth and whispered nervously, "Keep your voice down! What if someone hears us?"
Once Ruo Xi released Li Yi's mouth and looked around to ensure no one was listening, she let out a long sigh of relief. At that moment, Li Yi was covering her mouth with her hand and said softly, "You really are going to find him? No way! I can't help you; my dad will definitely kill me if he finds out."
Ruo Xi looked at Li Yi with a sly smile and said, "Are you really not going to help? Then my brother will..."
"Alright! Alright! I'll help you! But as soon as you leave, your mark will be discovered. Helping you won't do any good," Li Yi said. The mention of Ruo Xi's brother Qianxin immediately made her wilt; every time she visited Ruo Xi was partly because she wanted to see Qianxin.
Hearing Li Yi relent, Ruo Xi immediately cheered up and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I have my ways. Just tell my dad that I want to spend some time at your Li Huo Sect. As for how we communicate, that's up to you. And about my brother... I'll make sure to mention you more often."
"Great! It's settled then! You must talk more about me to Brother Qianxin; he only cares about cultivating and hardly pays attention to me. As for your dad... well, he cares about me more than you do! Hahaha..."
Li Yi dashed out of Ruo Xi's room while Ruo Xi gazed into space and murmured, "Brother Feng, how are you doing now? Have you already forgotten about Ruo Xi?"
...
Meanwhile, in the place where Huo Feng had just teleported to, he had completely transformed into the body of a Golden Wyvern. Transparent dragon wings nearly a meter long had sprouted from his back and were flapping behind him. However, these wings were not yet strong enough for Huo Feng to escape.
Watching Duan calmly admire his new form, Huo Feng realized that even though he had transformed, it was merely borrowing the wild aura of the Golden Wyvern to resist the pressure below him. The chance of defeating it was practically zero; his only hope was to escape.
With an idea in mind, Huo Feng immediately organized his thoughts. At that moment, Eight Orchids rose beside him, radiating a dazzling Silver Radiance. Following this, Huo Feng gathered the Eight Orchids from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and began to spin them rapidly. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood towards the Eight Orchids.
Despite Huo Feng's frantic preparations and the use of various Combat Techniques, Duan merely watched quietly with a smile on his lips, as if he were watching a show. Meanwhile, the Master hid nearby, afraid to speak. Although he did not understand why Duan was behaving this way, he did not want to provoke this seemingly unattainable expert.
What Huo Feng needed most was time, and Duan's confidence in not intervening provided him just that. After Huo Feng spat out blood, the Eight Orchids instantly turned red but shimmered with golden light.
"Silent Extinction Orchid"
"Orchid Explosion"
"Blood Orchid Wings"
Finally, it was time for the explosion. Huo Feng unleashed a series of skills from the Nameless South Palace. Four of the Eight Orchids shattered into fine fragments that scattered in the air. In an instant, these fragments floated behind Huo Feng and coalesced into a pair of blood-red wings with a hint of golden light. These wings were over two meters long and positioned slightly above Huo Feng's transparent wings, creating two sets of wings.
At the same time, the other four orchids gathered together, their brilliant and enchanting golden-red light flaring up so intensely that it obscured what was happening. In a brief moment, as the light faded, a golden-red orb no larger than a thumb shot towards Duan.
At that moment, Huo Feng quickly flapped both pairs of wings and flew in the opposite direction while simultaneously activating Meteoric Steps. The speed astonished even him as the surrounding rocks seemed to retreat like flowing light behind him.
The Master saw the orb flying toward him and was so terrified by its overwhelming energy that he fell to the ground. Meanwhile, Duan smiled and murmured to himself, "If I take this back and cultivate it, it will surely become a great asset along with these Combat Techniques and that Golden Wyvern's body."
Duan reached out and grasped Huo Feng's Orchid Explosion in his hand. The red light flowed around his hand as he compressed the Orchid Explosion into Origin Force particles that dissipated into the air.
Everything appeared so effortless and natural as he vanished from sight. Although Huo Feng had flown quite far away, he could still hear faint explosions from the Orchid Explosion, yet the outcome left him disappointed.
Huo Feng was flying at high speed and had already escaped several kilometers away. He thought to himself that Duan probably wouldn't chase after him now. Just then, a shadowy figure quietly stood directly in front of him. Huo Feng did not expect such an abrupt turn of events; he couldn't see who it was and tried to stop but found it too late.
Huo Feng braced for impact, expecting a loud crash, but instead felt his momentum come to an abrupt halt. He sensed a large hand pressing down on his head, rendering him immobile. If that hand exerted even a little force, his head would surely shatter like a fallen fruit on the ground; thinking about this made Huo Feng break out in cold sweat.
"Child, how old are you? Come back with me."
The owner of the hand spoke up. Huo Feng recognized that voice—it belonged to Duan. He was even more shocked now; he had not anticipated that this person's strength far exceeded his expectations, despite having already considered Duan to be incredibly powerful.
However, sensing that Duan did not intend to kill him from his words, Huo Feng replied, "Could you please remove your hand first? It makes me feel uneasy."
Duan withdrew his hand and looked at Huo Feng. "So? Have you made your decision? I will provide you with the best conditions for your cultivation—whether it's pills or anything else; I won't hold back."
Huo Feng knew that there was no escape; if he continued like this, he might provoke Duan and seal his own fate. Thus, Huo Feng turned his back to Duan, transformed back into human form, and immediately took out a white robe from the Narcissistic Ring and put it on.
Huo Feng turned to look at Duan and said, "Is yours for real? I just had a grudge with that Fellow."
"That's all in the past. I will ensure he won't harbor any ill intentions towards you in the future, or else I will kill him," Duan paused for a moment and added, "Aside from our distant blood relation, we have nothing else."
With no other choice but to agree, Huo Feng said, "Alright, I promise you. I'm unfamiliar with this place, so having someone willing to guide me is a blessing. My name is Huo Feng; may I ask how you are called?"
Seeing Huo Feng's agreement, Duan smiled and said, "Haha... Good. My name is Duan Huan, the Fortress Master of Xiaoyao Fortress. You can call me Duan Fortress Master like everyone else."
With a swift motion, he grabbed Huo Feng and flew back to where they were earlier. At that moment, Master Duan Chongyang was still sitting on the ground like a fool. When he saw Duan Huan approaching, he immediately got up and trembled as he said, "You... please take me home. After all, we still share some blood relation. The people here are too strong; I don't want to die yet."
Seeing Duan Chongyang like this, both Duan Huan and Huo Feng exchanged looks of disdain. Duan Huan then said, "Today I will take both of you back, but you must not cause trouble for Huo Feng again. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you. From now on, you will call me Duan Fortress Master; remember that."
"Okay, I will definitely do that. From now on, whatever you say, Duan Fortress Master," Duan Chongyang replied submissively like a dog before Duan Huan.
Duan Huan seemed to dislike Duan Chongyang very much and didn't bother to waste more words. He turned to Huo Feng and said, "You two stand behind me; I will take you to Xiaoyao Fortress."
