Wuhua Island is nearly ten thousand miles away from Mist City, and Xu Feng and Lin Fangxin are not in a hurry, taking their time to travel and resting at night. After flying for a while, Xu Feng already sensed that something was off.
Lin Fangxin also noticed it and directly asked the Spirit Beast Manor disciple controlling the White Eagle, "Is anyone else heading to Mist City like us? There’s a hawk following us; you must know about it."
The disciple replied nonchalantly, "At Spirit Beast Manor, we welcome guests and do business. If someone can pay, we will assist them. There is indeed someone following behind, but whether they have any ill intentions, I cannot say."
There are thieves on the bus; this is certainly not the driver's fault.
Lin Fangxin's expression turned cold as he said to Xu Feng, "Yan Daoyou need not worry; Mist City is my territory. As long as they dare to follow, they won't be going back." His tone suggested that he held some influence in Mist City.
Xu Feng replied, "In that case, let's see Lin Daoyou showcase his skills." He was contemplating how to deal with any potential threats.
After flying for a while longer, they finally arrived at Mist City before dark. The two of them paid for the "chartered flight," and Lin Fangxin led Xu Feng through various streets until they reached A Restaurant.
This restaurant had an ethereal ambiance, unlike an establishment run by mortals. The name of the restaurant seemed familiar to Xu Feng; looking up, he saw the words "A Restaurant" prominently displayed above the entrance.
As soon as they entered, two robust men at the eighth level of Qi Refining approached them. "Lin Liu Shao, you finally returned! The family head has been asking about you for half a month; if you don't come back soon, we won't be able to keep it a secret any longer." It seemed that Lin Fangxin had left to attend the Immortal Path Conference without his family's consent.
Lin Fangxin chuckled and said, "Zhang Long, go back to the family and tell the old man that I’m back." The man named Zhang Long quickly acknowledged and left.
"Zhao Hu," Lin Fangxin pulled another man aside and whispered a few words in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu became furious. "Is that true? Six Young Master can rest assured; I'll handle this matter personally and ensure he doesn't return." Zhao Hu pounded his chest as he left.
"Apologies for letting Yan Daoyou witness our sect's affairs," Lin Fangxin said as he ascended to a room on the third floor. This was Lin Fangxin's temporary residence. It was only then that Lin Fangxin began to explain his family's situation to Xu Feng.
It turned out that the Lin family was a well-known cultivation family in Mist City, operating various businesses related to cultivation such as elixirs, magical artifacts, and celestial food. However, their focus was primarily on Refining Qi Stage cultivation and could not compare to the massive establishment of Wanxian Tower in Mist City. No wonder Lin Fangxin had so many Martial Talismans during the Competition.
When Lin Fangxin inquired about Xu Feng's background, Xu Feng simply stated that he was a loose cultivator who had stumbled into the Xian Dao by chance. Seeing that Xu Feng was reluctant to elaborate further, Lin Fangxin did not press him for more details.
Not long after, Zhao Hu came to report the situation. He had already found the two pursuers who had come down with Xu Feng. Both were at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and their clothing made it difficult to determine their sect, suggesting they had disguised themselves before arriving. After entering the city, they stayed at an inn, and the Lin family was keeping an eye on them.
Xu Feng, having been chased multiple times, had some awareness of danger. He said, "Lin Daoyou, these two are likely here for me. Since this is my matter, I will handle it myself."
Lin Fangxin ignored him and said to Zhao Hu: "Have Luo Chuan and Roch bring a few people over. Also, inform Mi Er Shao and Qiao San Shao that I have returned and ask them for assistance." Zhao Hu complied and left.
Lin Fangxin turned to Xu Feng and said, "Yan Daoyou, in my territory, I can easily deal with two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. However, since this matter concerns you, you will need to put in some effort." She whispered a few words into Xu Feng's ear, and he nodded in agreement.
As night fell.
At the east gate of Mist City, there was an inn that catered to both immortals and mortals. Many cultivators frequently passed through Mist City; most were temporary visitors who didn't want to spend much money and chose to stay in such simple lodgings.
At this moment, two cultivators at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, one tall and one short, were whispering to each other.
"My Twin-Headed Ant has locked onto Yan Da's aura. After dark, as long as he dares to come out, we will make our move. If he doesn't come out, we can wait a few more days; he isn't from Mist City and won't stay here long."
"If the information is correct, his last deal must have been worth at least a million. Yan Da may not have much on him, but just capturing that million would be enough for us to live on for a while."
"Be careful; he is a cultivator from the Final Four. Although he is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he must have some extraordinary abilities."
"You and I working together can easily handle him. Even if Hua Du encounters us, he would only meet his end. Let's discuss how to divide the spirit stones."
As they were discussing how to split Xu Feng's belongings, the shorter cultivator suddenly stopped moving and said: "The Twin-Headed Ant has detected something; Yan Da has left the city. Let's hurry after him."
Xu Feng exited the city through the east gate and moved quickly into an uninhabited wilderness. The fog was thicker at night; even with a cultivator's eyesight, he could see no more than thirty meters ahead.
Beside a river, Xu Feng stopped. This river was the same one where Zhou Hai had been killed; this area was downstream. The river wasn't wide or fast-flowing but was still capable of taking lives.
"Come out; come out and kill me," Xu Feng called into the darkness shrouded in mist.
Two monks, one tall and one short, emerged from the mist, dressed entirely in black. The tall monk said, "It seems we underestimated you; you actually discovered us."
Xu Feng replied, "You started following me from Wuhua Island. If I didn't have something you wanted, you wouldn't be so persistent."
The short monk laughed and said, "Since you know that, let's not drag this out. One million will do. You wouldn't want us to make this long trip for nothing, would you?" It was as if Xu Feng owed them a million spirit stones.
"One hundred is a bit much; how about fifty?" Xu Feng said readily. "Give me fifty thousand, and I'll let you go. I'm not unreasonable; you've disturbed my life, so some compensation for mental distress is only fair."
The two monks exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. The tall monk gasped between laughs and said, "You want us to give you fifty thousand? Have you lost your mind? Gong Duan, how much should we give him?"
Gong Duan, the short monk, replied seriously, "Since he brought it up, I'll empty my pockets. Whatever I have is his. If that's still not enough, I'll kneel and call him 'grandfather' to beg for mercy."
The tall monk looked at Gong Duan as if he were an idiot, unable to believe his words.
Soon, the tall monk's expression changed as two groups of people emerged from the mist behind them, about ten in total, with seven of them being Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.
"We're in trouble," the tall monk sighed.
"You just realized that?" Now it was Gong Duan's turn to look at him like he was an idiot.
Seeing that all the ambushers had revealed themselves, Xu Feng said, "My words still stand: leave the money behind and take your lives."
Lin Fangxin interjected, "Yan Daoyou, you're too merciful. Money is just material wealth; I think leaving behind an arm or a leg would be more memorable."
Along with Lin Fangxin were her close friends Mi Er Shao and Qiao San Shao, along with several experts they had brought.
The tall monk realized there was no way out peacefully. He exchanged a glance with his companion and suddenly darted to the side to escape.
Xu Feng and the others had already taken their positions knowing they would try to flee. However, Gong Duan and his companion were not weak; they were even stronger than Chen Ming from Wuhua Island. With a combined effort, they managed to break through the encirclement.
In the dark and foggy night, the city was shrouded in mist. The heavy fog enveloped the city, and Lin Fangxin brought only ten people with him. In this open area, they were unable to encircle their targets. In the blink of an eye, Gong Duan and his companion escaped a hundred meters away, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight under the cover of the heavy fog.
"You got lucky this time. Don't let me see you again," Lin Fangxin cursed. Feeling embarrassed in front of Xu Feng after their confident ambush was easily thwarted, he couldn't help but feel a loss of face.
Xu Feng smiled slightly and said, "I'll handle my own matters." With that, he vanished into the heavy fog.
Worried that Xu Feng might be in danger, Lin Fangxin quickly led his men to follow. However, Xu Feng moved with incredible speed, seemingly intent on shaking off Lin Fangxin and the others. Before they had traveled a mile, Xu Feng's shadow completely disappeared, and no matter how much they called out, there was no response.
Mi Er Shao stopped and said, "There's no need to chase anymore. Your friend clearly doesn't want us to follow him. He must have his own reasons for acting this way; let's just wait for him here."
Lin Fangxin thought about it and agreed. This Yan Da had quietly entered the ranks of the Immortal Dao's Four Strongest and even withdrew from the final battle without a sound. He must have many secrets. The fact that he dared to pursue alone indicated he had some confidence.
The group immediately stopped where they were.
Seeing that Lin Fangxin and the others did not follow, Xu Feng shook his arms, and the Wings of the Strange Dragon burst forth from his body. He soared into the sky and flew away like lightning.
