The distinction between humans and demons is clear. A Qi knows about Xu Feng's duel with Jueqingzi but cannot intervene. If a Land Beast appears on Jumping Fish Island and is not Xu Feng's mount or pet, it will surely be surrounded and killed.
If the duel takes place in the Beast Wasteland, that would be a different story.
"What do you want from me? Every time you come to me, it's never for anything good; I've gotten used to it."
Xu Feng took out the demon core of Serpent Beauty and handed it to A Qi, saying, "This is for you. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
A Qi's eyes widened as he touched the demon core and chuckled, "Junior Brother, your affairs are my affairs. If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to ask your Senior Brother. You are the chosen successor of Master, and I will take good care of you."
This chameleon changed its tune so quickly that even the way it addressed him changed.
The Serpent King is a Royal Beast. If Xu Feng refines this demon core, he will become immune to all poisons and greatly enhance his cultivation. If A Qi, who is also a demon beast, refines it, the benefits will be even greater. Xu Feng has already created the Control Technique and no longer relies on refining cultivators to improve his strength; when he obtained this demon core, he intended to give it to A Qi.
Xu Feng said, "In a few days, I will bring someone here. Please help take care of him and provide a place for him to cultivate; nothing else is needed."
"A human?" A Qi hesitated. "It's not very convenient here..."
Xu Feng felt like strangling A Qi and shot him a fierce glare. He took out the demon core of Sea Wolf and shoved it into A Qi's hand, gritting his teeth and saying, "Is it convenient now?"
"Convenient, convenient, convenient!" A Qi nearly called him 'Grandpa.' The Sea Wolf's demon core was even more powerful than that of the Serpent Demon; having this core would save a lot of cultivation time.
With two demon cores in hand, A Qi finally relented.
Once everything was settled, Xu Feng did not linger. As he left Red Flower Forest, he made sure to collect the unfinished bottle of Monkey Wine into his ring.
Two demon cores for one bottle of Monkey Wine—though he lost a bit on the deal, at least he broke even.
When leaving the Beast Wasteland, Xu Feng's appearance changed again, transforming into a burly man with a rough face, thick eyebrows, and fierce eyes that made people reluctant to look directly at him.
Xianxia City, Wujue Pavilion.
The rough-looking Xu Feng leaned against the counter, exuding a delinquent vibe as he pointed at Zhen Tao to vent his dissatisfaction. "How do you conduct business? You want to charge me two hundred thousand spirit stones for this piece of junk? Are you kidding me? Do I look like a fool to you? Take a good look, really look!"
Zhen Tao was infuriated by the insult and couldn't help but retort, "I think you look quite like one."
The onlookers nearby burst into laughter.
There are always delinquents like Xu Feng in the Modern Clerk, but none would dare to act recklessly in Wujue Pavilion. The pavilion had suddenly become formidable three hundred years ago, and the number of experts inside had doubled. This punk didn't know his place and dared to cause trouble here; he was either being manipulated by someone or was just inexperienced and newly emerged in the world.
Xu Feng angrily shouted, "What kind of attitude is that? I want to see your pavilion master!"
Zhen Tao smirked and replied, "Sure, please follow me."
Zhen Tao actually led Xu Feng into the pavilion master's room on the second floor.
The cultivators watching the scene in Colorless Pavilion sighed inwardly, thinking that Xu Feng would surely not return—he was doomed.
Sure enough, once Xu Feng entered, he did not come out again. At least, he hadn't come out yet; no one knew what happened inside. No one saw him leave, nor did anyone know what he did in there.
Two days later, Xu Feng reappeared in Redwood City, this time changing his appearance to that of an old man.
Redwood City is located east of Yuan Lake, near Li Hua Palace.
It is unclear whether someone brought seeds from A Qi's Red Flower Forest to plant in Redwood City, but everywhere there are red branches and leaves of red trees. Common folk cut down these trees for materials; most furniture is made from redwood. From a distance, it looks like a red city, hence the name Redwood City.
Power King is the lord of Redwood City.
Redwood City is at least ten times larger than Shuangfeng City of Silverbeard, and Power King is one of the Four Great Kings of Wuwei Academy, possessing resources that the "Six Sons" cannot compare to.
The Wuwei Six Sons have been completely wiped out, and in these Three Hundred Years, several junior disciples of Wuwei Academy have advanced to the Great Perfection Stage, while no one is willing to fill the title of "Six Sons" anymore.
According to the information provided by Lu Zhongxiang, Xu Feng checked into an inn in Redwood City, and in the middle of the night, he knocked on the door of room thirteen, where he met the hidden Zeng An.
"You are... ah, so it's you..."
With a thought, Xu Feng made Zeng An aware of his identity and asked, "What’s the situation in Redwood City?"
Zeng An replied, "Lin Fangxin is locked in the basement of the lord's mansion. Besides Power King, there are two cultivators at the Early Stage of Great Achievement guarding it. When Power King is not around, those two remain steadfastly outside, making it difficult to find an opportunity."
"I'll handle this. You should return to Liuxiang Kingdom and let them prepare for defense."
Seeing Xu Feng's determined expression, Zeng An understood he was planning to take action. He handed a map of the lord's mansion to Xu Feng, saying, "For some reason, Walker has been with Power King. Moreover, Walker has advanced to the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, his strength not inferior to that of Power King. If you want to rescue someone, you can wait until Walker leaves before taking action."
Years ago, Walker had spoken recklessly and was nearly killed by Blade King. However, upon returning, he unexpectedly gained strength and broke through to the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. Known for his speed, he was titled “Wind King" by Wuwei Academy.
"I understand," said Xu Feng solemnly.
Afterward, Zeng An swaggered out of Redwood City, heading back to Bailu Mountain.
Meanwhile, Xu Feng, looking like an old man, was surveying the area in Redwood City.
The lord's mansion is located at the northernmost part of Redwood City, covering over ten miles. The disciples stationed there number less than a hundred, all above the Divine Separation Stage. In addition to Power King, there are also two deputy city lords at the Early Stage of Great Achievement.
Lin Fangxin was imprisoned in the dungeon on the west side of the Lord's Mansion.
As night fell, an old man appeared at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion.
"Friend, I wish to meet with the Lord."
The disciple guarding the gate shouted, "What business do you have? Come back another time. It's late now, and if I let you in and something happens, who will take responsibility?"
Xu Feng replied, "I have a treasure to present to the Lord. I hope you can make an exception."
"Oh?" The two disciples moved closer. "What treasure? Let me verify it. If it's truly for the Lord, then it's real; if it's fake, it will be mine. Hmm, it must be fake."
Xu Feng took out a High-Quality Spirit Stone and suddenly changed his tone, saying, "Look at this beautiful gem. It's called He Shi Bi, worth its weight in gold. You couldn't buy it even if you sold everything in Redwood City. So tell me, is this a treasure? How can something fake be real, and how can something real be fake?"
The two Divine Separation Stage disciples were bewildered by Xu Feng's Sorrowful Technique and could only mutter, "It's... real."
Xu Feng easily controlled their minds. One of them escorted Xu Feng into the Lord's Mansion and explained to the patrolling guards that he was a treasure bearer with the priceless He Shi Bi.
Soon, they arrived at Power King's residence.
"Stop! Who goes there? What are you doing here so late?"
"Fang Zongguan, this is a treasure bearer named Zhang Shan. He has a gem called He Shi Bi that is very beneficial for cultivation."
Fang Shu, the steward of the Lord's Mansion and a peak Divine Separation expert known for his shrewdness and ruthlessness, glanced at Xu Feng and said, "The Lord is resting. Hand over the treasure to me; I'll make an offer."
Xu Feng replied, "I come to present this treasure without asking for anything in return; I only seek a position in the Lord's Mansion to serve under Power King."
Fang Shu glanced around and thought, "This kid seems quite clever. If he comes, my position as the chief manager might not last long." He then said, "If you want to work at the City Lord's Mansion, it's not enough to just bring some treasures. Our City Lord has some grievances with Koukou Group from Liuxiang Kingdom. If you really want to come here, you should first go to Liuxiang Kingdom and bring back a few heads from Koukou Group."
Xu Feng's expression turned cold. Damn it, he's bringing a death warrant right into my home.
Seeing the change in Xu Feng's eyes, Fang Shu said coldly, "What's wrong? Unwilling?"
Xu Feng forced a smile and replied, "Of course I'm willing. How could I pass up such a good opportunity? Chief Fang, please help me pass this He Shi Bi to the City Lord."
Xu Feng took out a spirit stone and presented it to Fang Shu.
"Hey? What kind of He Shi Bi is this? It's clearly a High-Quality Spirit Stone," Fang Shu recognized the spirit stone at a glance.
Xu Feng insisted, "No, this is a He Shi Bi. You're mistaken. Look closely again."
There was an irresistible charm in Xu Feng's voice. Fang Shu shook his head vigorously but suddenly realized something. He looked up at Xu Feng and angrily asked, "Who are you?"
As soon as Fang Shu's gaze met Xu Feng's, it was as if an ancient silver needle pierced his heart, penetrating his soul. Fang Shu opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound; his eyes turned void in that instant of connection with Xu Feng.
"You..." A disciple who had entered with them was about to call for help when he felt Xu Feng's gaze sweep over him. Before he could react, he was enveloped by the Sorrowful Technique's Soul Power. His eyes glazed over, leaving him in a daze.
Even the Serpent King of the Royal Beast dared not meet Xu Feng's eyes. How could these two cultivators at the Divine Separation Stage escape? Once the third layer of the Sorrowful Technique, known as the Shattered Realm, was unleashed, their souls were extinguished, leaving them as mere walking corpses.
The Shattered Realm: killing without leaving a trace.
Years ago, the Heartbroken Ancestor created the third layer of the Sorrowful Technique only in his later years. Aware that this cultivation method was difficult to accept, he only taught the first two layers to the Sad Young Master. The method for the Shattered Realm, however, remained with him until his death and unexpectedly fell into the hands of the Pingdao Sect, eventually being passed on to Xu Feng.
A Demon Hunter, who obtained a pirated version of it, ultimately failed to cultivate it and was killed by a single arrow from Xu Feng's Golden Law Bow.
Xu Feng silently killed Fang Shu and another disciple, dragging the two wooden-like bodies into a side room. He then changed into Fang Shu's clothes, silently reciting the incantation. His figure and appearance quickly transformed, becoming another Fang Shu.
The Sorrowful Technique replicated Fang Shu's aura, making it impossible for outsiders to tell the difference.
A few patrolling disciples heard Fang Shu's first call and came over to check. "Fang Zongguan, what's the matter?"
Xu Feng waved his hand, and the disciples left.
"Why isn't Fang Zongguan speaking?"
"Who cares? In his eyes, we’re nothing. He can't even be bothered to talk to us."
The disciples grumbled as they walked away.
