Chapter 504: Shi Feng, The Number One Person in Zhejiang Province【First Update】
Little Qing had just left when a figure appeared in the sky above the Thunder Peak Pagoda.
Even without deliberately releasing it, a powerful aura slowly flowed from this person's body, distorting the space in front of him.
"So it's Yuan Xin, Yuan Li, and Yuan Wu, the three masters," said the man in a grey robe, his half-black, half-white long hair tied carelessly behind his head. His ordinary face wore a faint smile. But upon closer inspection, one would be surprised to find that they couldn't see his face clearly. It was as if a layer of thin mist veiled it, extremely mysterious.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shi Feng. Greetings to you," the three of them said in unison, bringing their hands together in a salute and responding briefly.
Shi Feng glanced around. The turbulent waters below had already calmed down, and the more than half a meter deep water was rapidly receding.
"Just now, I sensed an extremely powerful energy. What happened?" Shi Feng inquired.
Yuan Xin nodded slightly, a serious look on his face, "Fellow Daoist Shi Feng is not wrong. A few days ago, a demon beast tried to destroy the Thunder Peak Pagoda, and we stopped it, engaging in battle for several days. Just before your arrival, the demon beast must have sensed your aura and thus fled."
"What kind of demon beast was it?" Shi Feng's eyes brightened. Any demon beast capable of holding its ground in battle against the three like Yuan Xin must be incredibly powerful.
Yuan Xin said, "She has already transformed into human form, so she must be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm."
"She's already transformed?" Shi Feng's interest grew even stronger. He took out a jade token and handed it to Yuan Xin, "I was not in Lin City these past few days, hence missing out on lending a hand. If that demon beast dares to come again, Elder Yuan Xin may simply call for me. After all, I am the representative of Chachi Province, and I will not shirk responsibility in such a significant event."
...
Little Qing left Lin City and returned to Ling City.
This trip to Lin City wasn't entirely fruitless. At the very least, she knew that her sister was still alive and under that Thunder Peak Pagoda.
The next time she went there, she was determined to rescue her.
Little Qing's figure flickered and vanished from the spot. When she reappeared, she was back in Li Xiaoyao's home.
In the house, only Little Qing was sitting on the sofa watching television while the other women had all gone out.
Sensing something, Little Qing turned her head to look, and two women with identical faces met each other's gaze, creating an eerie feeling as if looking in a mirror.
Little Qing put down the snacks and took out a jade bottle that Li Xiaoyao had left for her, saying, "He gave this to you."
"Hmm? What is this?" Little Qing beckoned with her palm and the jade bottle flew into her hand.
As she removed the stopper, a fragrance that made her soul tremble assailed her nostrils, causing surprise to blossom in her eyes.
"This is... a Soul Fusion Pill!" Little Qing couldn't wait to take out the pill medicine, a creamy white pill that floated above the palm of her hand.
"Indeed, it is a Soul Fusion Pill." Little Qing rejoiced inwardly. Although she had given Li Xiaoyao a year's deadline, she held no hope for him. She had thought he would need several years to find a Seventh Grade Alchemist, yet to her surprise, upon her return, he had already presented her with such a delightful shock.
Little Qing raised her hand to toss the pill into her mouth but suddenly stopped.
"I need to find a quiet place." Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Little Qing carefully stored the Soul Fusion Pill and, taking Little Qing with her, left the house.
...
The entrance to the Human Realm is invisible to the naked eye.
This is a secret realm separately established, to which ordinary people, if they wish to enter, must tear through the fabric of space.
But how could those without great magical power easily rend the void?
Thus, every year, when the Human Realm opens, it is only with the combined efforts of the Guardians from the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country that they can tear open a two-meter-high rift in the void, allowing brief access for entry.
In the camp of the Li Family from Xuan Country, the Third Elder Li Yiming personally led the team, and at this moment, the sixteen members of the Li Family occupied an area of over a hundred meters.
"Big brother Peng Cheng, I've gathered information about the Xuan Sect," a clansman approached Li Pengcheng and whispered.
Li Pengcheng opened his eyes, "Speak."
The clansman recounted in detail the recent friction between the Wuzong and the Xuan Sect without omitting a single detail.
Upon learning that Li Xiaoyao had killed Wu Ba of Wuzong without a word of dissent, Li Pengcheng sneered with disdain, "This brute, knowing only to fight and kill, lacks any semblance of intellect. He only got lucky against a trashy sect like Wuzong. Had he faced a slightly more powerful sect, he would be the one slain. I can't fathom how father could sire such a son."
The clansman flattered, "Hehe, big brother Peng Cheng is right, that guy is nothing but a brute, incomparable to you."
"Hmm." Li Pengcheng was quite pleased with the sycophantic flattery, nodding slightly as his gaze swept around the vicinity. It suddenly landed on a particular sect, "I remember, Second Elder Jian Wuji of the Shenjian Sect was killed by Li Xiaoyao."
The clansman's eyes lit up upon hearing this, instantly grasping the implication.
"Those from the Shenjian Sect probably don't know yet that the leader of the Xuan Sect is Li Xiaoyao. I'm on good terms with one of the disciples of the Shenjian Sect and haven't had a chance to chat with him since arriving in the Human Realm. Big brother Peng Cheng, I'll go over now."
"Go ahead," said Li Pengcheng with a slight smile, radiating smug confidence.
If they could get rid of Li Xiaoyao before entering the Human Realm, that would be ideal. However, he also understood that this was virtually impossible. After all, Li Yiming was still here; he would not stand idly by and watch Li Xiaoyao get surrounded and killed.
The clansman quickly made his way to the Shenjian Sect and casually chatted with a disciple. After about fifteen minutes, the disciple's expression changed, he looked in the direction of the Xuan Sect a few times, then hurried towards the lead figure of the Shenjian Sect.
"Great Elder, the leader of the Xuan Sect is Li Xiaoyao!" said the disciple approaching an old man, his voice lowered.
"Li Xiaoyao?" The Great Elder was taken aback, frowning, "That name sounds familiar."
The disciple reminded, "The one who killed the Second Elder was also called Li Xiaoyao."
"It's him!" The Great Elder was almost certain that this Li Xiaoyao was the same one.
In the vast world, there indeed many people with the same name, but within the community of cultivators, such coincidences were exceedingly rare.
The Great Elder rose to his feet with a grim expression, asking, "Where is that Li Xiaoyao?"
The disciple pointed towards the direction of the Xuan Sect, "Over there."
"To have killed the second brother, this person's cultivation level must surely be not weak," said the Great Elder, refraining from rushing forward impulsively.
The disciple continued, "Indeed not weak, Wu Ba of the Wuzong just had a dispute with him and was slain by a single sword stroke."
"Wu Ba from the Wuzong?" The Great Elder was slightly surprised, saying, "Wu Ba reached the Third Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, and to be killed by a single sword stroke, it seems this person does indeed possess some skills."
After a few seconds of musing, the Great Elder turned and walked towards the Hehuan Sect's location.
