Xu Feng cremated the two bodies and gently walked into Power King's room.
Outside a secret chamber, Xu Feng imitated Fang Shu's voice, saying, "Lord City Master, Wind King asked me to deliver something."
Inside, Power King's voice responded, "I am currently in meditation. Just leave it at the door; I will check it later."
Xu Feng replied, "Lord City Master, Wind King had to leave urgently. He insisted that Subordinate deliver this item to you immediately."
After a moment, the door of the secret chamber slowly opened, and Xu Feng entered, with the door closing behind him.
"Wind King left without even saying a word? Bring it here. What is so urgent?" Power King sat on a Jade Bed. After three hundred years, his cultivation had slightly increased, but he had just forcefully retracted his energy, leaving his complexion somewhat pale.
Xu Feng took out the Butcher's Blade and changed his tone, saying, "Lord City Master, Wind King asked me to deliver this Dao Artifact to you. It will remind you of someone you are very familiar with—someone you met thousands of years ago. You came into this world waiting for his appearance; you live for him and will die for him..."
Power King was a master at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. Xu Feng's Outsider's Demonic Melody only caused him a momentary daze before he suddenly awakened and shouted, "Who are you!"
Power King was too familiar with Fang Shu and immediately recognized Xu Feng's trick.
Xu Feng coldly said, "Look at me; I am who I am. Who is who?"
As Power King looked closely, their eyes met. Xu Feng's soul attack surged directly into Power King's heart.
Power King's eyes flickered with light as two flames ignited within him, desperately resisting Xu Feng's soul attack. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"You are Xu... you didn't... die." Power King was filled with shock and anger as the sweat on his forehead turned into blood droplets.
Xu Feng said, "Do not touch my Koukou Group or my friends. You chose not to listen; if you don't listen, you will face punishment."
With a swing of the Butcher's Blade, forty Flying Swords appeared in the secret chamber. The chamber was only ten meters wide, and with forty Supreme Treasure Swords summoned, the space became densely packed.
Power King figured out Xu Feng's identity. While resisting the Sorrowful Technique, he summoned the Thunder Hammer, but he was already too weak to wield it.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
The massive Thunder Hammer blocked more than a dozen Flying Swords. At least twenty Flying Swords surrounded Power King from all sides.
Puff, puff! Power King didn't even let out a scream before being pierced like a honeycomb, his Yuan Ying flying out of his body, extremely weakened.
Xu Feng unceremoniously captured Power King's Yuan Ying into a bottle and took off his Spatial Ring along with the Thunder Hammer.
Poor Power King, who had attempted to ambush the Koukou Group, ended up capturing Lin Fangxin, which laid the groundwork for his own downfall.
With Xu Feng's Five Elements Mastery, even the Serpent King was no match. Under the combined assault of the Sorrowful Technique and the Sword Formation, Power King had no strength left to fight back and was swiftly slain by Xu Feng.
The door to the secret chamber opened again, and Xu Feng stepped out. He found a disciple outside and said, "The City Lord has urgent business with Wind King. Please bring him to the City Lord's training chamber; he is waiting for him."
The disciple, only at the Divine Separation Stage, naturally couldn't see that Xu Feng was disguised. He hurriedly replied, "Yes, Fang Zongguan."
Wanderer Spring Breeze, feeling proud after advancing to the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, had also changed to a new city. His income had doubled compared to before, and he was recognized by the academy as the Wind King, significantly elevating his status.
This time he came to Redwood City to discuss a matter with Power King. After seven discussions, they finally reached an agreement. He was about to leave and start preparing for that matter.
“Wind King, the City Lord requests your presence,” a disciple called from outside.
“What’s going on so late?” Walker asked.
“It’s a message from Fang Zongguan. The City Lord is very urgent and wants you to go directly to the secret chamber to find him.”
Without further ado, Walker followed instructions and arrived at Power King's residence. From a distance, he saw Fang Shu waving at him at the entrance of the secret chamber before entering first.
Walker followed into the secret chamber.
“Fang Shu, where is Power King?” Walker asked Xu Feng upon not seeing Power King. After being crowned, he felt a moment of superiority as he addressed Power King as an equal.
“The city lord has gone out and asked me to deliver something to you.” The door to the secret chamber slowly closed.
Walker noticed traces left by Sword Formation, and an ominous feeling surged within him.
“Does this feel familiar? Doesn’t it resemble Sword Formation a bit?” Xu Feng reminded him, “Take another look at who I am, look into my eyes. My eyes won’t deceive you. Look carefully, yes, really pay attention…”
Having just advanced, Walker was still weaker than Power King, and he couldn’t escape Xu Feng’s Sorrowful Technique. Soon, his spirit was locked down. However, Walker was no pushover; having narrowly escaped from Xu Feng in the Chaotic Sea, he had a latent sensitivity towards Sword Formation. No matter how hard Xu Feng tried, he couldn’t quickly destroy Walker’s soul.
“This is troublesome!” Xu Feng struck down with his blade, and before Walker even had a chance to draw his sword, he was killed in one blow.
Just crowned as Wind King, Walker didn’t even have the opportunity to showcase his strength for Wuwei Academy before meeting his end.
Calmly, Xu Feng collected Walker’s belongings. Walker’s Yuan Ying bitterly remarked, “Xu Feng, did you just kill Power King? You’re ruthless!”
Closing the bottle, Xu Feng couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Pushing open the door, the grim reaper-like figure of Xu Feng appeared again. He found the previous disciple from the Divine Separation Stage and said, “Have the two Deputy City Lords come over; the city lord and Wind King need to discuss something with them.”
The disciple obediently ran off to relay the message.
In the dungeon at the west corner, two Deputy City Lords, one named Hong Yang and the other named Tian Guanchao, were conversing.
“Brother Tian, I really don’t understand what the city lord is thinking. Why have us two at the Great Perfection Stage watch over this child from the Divine Separation Stage? The dungeon is so secure, and he’s sealed off from using his spiritual power. I can’t believe he could still fly up.”
“We can’t speak like that. The city lord has his reasons for doing this. Since Xu Feng can even kill a Demon Hunter, his strength is formidable. As long as we haven’t seen his head, we cannot let our guard down.”
"Get up, Xu Feng is quite talented; why does the academy need to offend him?"
"Not only have we offended him, but our academy has also made enemies on all sides. It's not like it used to be. If I had known this would happen, I might as well have gone to Light Rain Tower to become a disciple. With my aptitude, I could still reach the Great Perfection Stage."
As the two were talking, a messenger disciple arrived. "The City Lord and Wind King want both of you Deputy City Lords to come over; it's urgent."
The two exchanged glances, and Hong Yang said, "We can't leave at the same time. Brother Tian, you go alone; I'll stay here and keep watch."
The disciple replied, "The City Lord wants both of you to go together."
"Alright then, you go and bring in ten people."
Hong Yang and Tian Guanzhong left the dungeon and arranged for ten Divine Separation Stage Cultivators to guard inside before heading to Power King's residence.
Xu Feng employed his old trick again and greeted them from a distance.
Once they entered the secret chamber, they immediately noticed the scratches left by forty Flying Swords, which made them alert.
Xu Feng scanned the room, and both of them were instantly captivated; their strength at the Early Stage of Great Achievement was no match for Xu Feng.
"Where is Lin Fangxin?" Xu Feng's ghostly voice left no room for evasion.
"In the dungeon."
"What is his condition?"
"His spiritual power is just sealed; there are no other issues."
The two cooperated very well. After asking a few more related questions, Xu Feng unleashed a Purple Hand Seal, knocking them unconscious while simultaneously using the Sorrowful Technique to erase their memories.
These two had no direct conflict with him, and Xu Feng was not a person who would kill unnecessarily, so he spared their lives.
Having easily dealt with four Great Perfection Stage experts, Xu Feng confidently walked into the dungeon.
"Fang Zongguan!"
"Fang Zongguan!"
None of the Divine Transformation Disciples recognized him. Xu Feng went straight to the third level of the dungeon, where he found Lin Fangxin imprisoned.
Lin Fangxin sat calmly on the floor of the dungeon, solving a math problem. This arithmetic was something he used in business, and now that his spiritual power was sealed and he could not cultivate, he could only engage in such games.
"Open the door; I need to take him to see the City Lord."
A disciple opened the cell door and brought Lin Fangxin out. Lin Fangxin, unable to use his spiritual power, was no different from an ordinary person. He merely cast a cold glance at Xu Feng and said nothing more.
Xu Feng led Lin Fangxin out of the dungeon under everyone's watchful eyes and returned to Power King's secret chamber.
"This..." Lin Fangxin looked at the two Deputy City Lords lying on the ground and regarded Xu Feng with suspicion.
Xu Feng transformed back to his previous appearance and said, "Lin Fangxin, you have suffered for so many years. Now, we are going home."
"Group Leader." Lin Fangxin was overwhelmed with joy and couldn't help but shed tears of happiness.
For nearly three hundred years, Lin Fangxin had been captured by Power King, enduring cold stares and ridicule. Power King had also intended to use his life to lure Xu Feng into a trap, but he had overestimated his own strength. Yes, Xu Feng had come, but it would cost him his life.
"Let's go."
Xu Feng changed back into Fang Shu's appearance, dismissed the patrolling team, and led Lin Fangxin to a secluded area in the backyard. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they quietly took off into the sky. After reaching a certain height, Xu Feng unleashed the Wings of the Strange Dragon and flew far away.
Redwood City remained brightly lit, oblivious to the events unfolding in the night. The disciples were still patrolling, unaware that their lord and the newly arrived Wind King would never appear again.
Who would have thought that Xu Feng, who had disappeared for three hundred years, would make a strong comeback? Who would have imagined that both the Power King and the Wind King would meet their demise simultaneously?
The secret chamber of the Power King had been locked for a long time, and no one dared to disturb it. By the seventh hour, the patrolling disciples finally sensed something was wrong, as the Deputy City Lord, the overseer, and the Wind King had not been seen for quite some time.
The disciples called out for a long while outside the chamber before finally mustering the courage to open the door.
Inside, there were signs of a struggle, but no one was present.
Five years prior, Hong Yang and Tian Guanchao learned that Lin Fangxin had escaped and that the city lord was dead. Knowing they would face severe punishment upon returning, the two Great Achievement Stage Cultivators, who had no intention of staying long, resolutely left Redwood City and parted ways with Wuwei Academy.
With their departure, the blame for the city lord's death fell upon them. Eventually, it was Gun King from Wuwei Academy's Four Great Kings who intervened, stating that they did not possess the strength to kill the Power King, which led to the cancellation of the manhunt. However, the charge of treason still remained.
Thus, after ten thousand years, Wuwei Academy's first pair of traitors emerged in Redwood City.
