Only Wuhua Island remains.
Along with Hua Guinian, there are now only six people on Wuhua Island, but five White Eagles.
“Zhu Xiao, you ride one eagle back to the island and gather ten Purple Flower Disciples to come and await orders.” One disciple immediately mounted a White Eagle and flew away.
“Liu Qi, Ma An Shan, Duwei, the three of you each take an eagle and search in the northeast, south, and other directions for Yan Da. If you find him, do not capture him unless absolutely necessary; just keep close and notify your companions with a message talisman.” The three disciples accepted their orders and flew out.
Aside from one eagle and one person from Spirit Beast Manor, only Hua Du and Hua Guinian remained at the scene.
“Jealousy,” Hua Guinian looked at the grim-faced Hua Du and said, “You are meant for great things; you cannot let emotions cloud your judgment.”
“He saved my life.” Hua Du replied coldly; even if he were foolish, he would understand what Hua Guinian was trying to imply. “How can I repay kindness with enmity?”
“Do you really think he has no grievances against us from Wuhua Island?”
“Does he?”
“Do you know how Gong Duan died? I’m not afraid to tell you that Gong Duan followed Yan Da all the way to Mist City after realizing he was extremely wealthy, intending to kill him and seize his wealth, but unexpectedly died in Mist City.”
“Who killed Gong Duan?”
“I initially had no suspicions about him. Gong Duan was stronger than you. From his performance at the Immortal Path Conference, it was clear that Yan Da was far from his match. However, this time in the secret realm, he managed to kill three disciples from Nine Dragon Pool, indicating that he already had the capability to kill Gong Duan.”
“…”
“Time, location, strength, motive. Everything points to Yan Da. Who else could it be?”
“…”
“This time, Nine Dragon Pool is merely testing the waters; in ten years, they will flatten the Liuxiang Kingdom. What do we have to counter them? Jealousy, even if Yan Da has done you a favor, if killing him can save all of Wuhua Island, what’s wrong with that?”
“…”
Behind a cliff, three eagles from the New Moon Sect came to a stop. Chu Wushang said, “Huang Chang, you stay here. Wuhua Island will definitely search for Yan Da. Keep an eye on them; if you notice any significant movements from Wuhua Island, do not engage—just observe. I will return to gather more people.”
Huang Chang also noticed some clues from the behavior on Wuhua Island, but he didn't think too deeply about it. He said, "Searching for Yan Da? Oh, I see."
Chu Wushang looked at Huang Chang's expression and suddenly realized he had made a wrong decision. He turned to a disciple of the New Moon Sect beside him and said, "Andong, you go with Huang Chang. It’s good to have each other’s support."
When the disciple named Andong heard this, his face showed fear, and he timidly said, "Yes, please take care of me, Senior Sister."
Seeing his cowardly demeanor, Huang Chang couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "What? You don't want to? Are you afraid of being at a disadvantage with me? I haven't complained about you yet, and you're already complaining about me. Do you want to die?" He raised his hand as if to slap him, but Cai Shujun quickly intervened.
Chu Wushang shook his head and didn't care about Andong's fate anymore. He instructed the disciples of Spirit Beast Manor to quickly take flight on their eagle.
On another riverbank, Qian Tuo from the Guo Shan Sword Sect had one foot submerged in the river. A few fish, curious about the smell from his foot, swam around it a few times before flipping over and dying.
Jindalai stood beside him, holding his breath and not daring to exhale.
"Hua Guinian and Chu Wushang, those two old foxes really think I'm transparent. I can see through their little actions."
"Mm." Jindalai nodded in agreement.
"That Yan Da must have a problem; he ran away last night. Let Hua Guinian chase after him while we watch from behind and strike when the time is right."
"Mm." Jindalai nodded again.
The beast training disciples of Spirit Beast Manor waited nearby with furrowed brows. One said, "Qian Zongzhu, we've been waiting here for half an hour. Shouldn't we set off?"
"No," Qian Tuo said, turning his wise eyes thoughtfully. "The timing isn't right; I need to do one more thing before we can leave."
"What is it?"
Qian Tuo shamelessly untied his right foot and comfortably dipped it into the river...
Jindalai finally couldn't hold back any longer and ran away while covering his nose.
After a night of frantic running, Xu Feng had to leave the Otherworldly Secret Realm as quickly as possible and then find a way to reach Mist City. Only by returning to Beast Wasteland could he completely shake off the entanglement of the Six Major Sects under A Qi's protection.
Traveling east from the Otherworldly Secret Realm, it would take nearly five thousand miles to reach Mist City. Xu Feng ran swiftly through the night, combining running and flying, and managed to escape the mountainous area of the Otherworldly Secret Realm by dawn, arriving at a civilian town. Roughly estimating, he had covered at least eight hundred miles in that night, comparable to a thousand-mile horse.
With visibility hindered during the night, it was easier for him to escape. The Six Sects had just been provoked by the Nine Dragon Pool and the Silver-Haired Cultivator, so they wouldn't chase after Xu Feng in the middle of the night. Even if they had suspicions, they ultimately lacked evidence and could only resort to underhanded tactics.
Since entering this world, Xu Feng had been on the run, and now he was fleeing once again.
After dawn, Xu Feng dared not continue on his way. The White Eagle from Spirit Beast Manor was extremely fast; if it were to deliberately search for him, it could reach this place in no more than two hours. If Xu Feng made a loud escape again, he would easily be discovered.
The town had just over a hundred households and a population of less than a thousand. Upon entering the town, Xu Feng felt no presence of cultivators; everyone around him was an ordinary person. However, his appearance as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner attracted much attention.
Xu Feng quickly moved away to avoid becoming the center of attention. Passing by a courtyard, he noticed a set of men's clothing drying outside. Without hesitation, he changed into those clothes, transforming into an ordinary person.
"Hey! You bad guy! Why did you steal my family's clothes?" A four-year-old girl peeked out from behind the door.
"Because I'm a bad guy," Xu Feng replied casually; he had already noticed her. "Bad guys steal things."
"You’re lying! You don’t look like a bad guy," the girl said smartly. "I’m not three years old; it’s not easy to fool me."
"Uh..."
"Do you want to be a good person?" she asked. "I like good people."
"I do want to."
"Forget it," she shook her head suddenly. "You should stick to being a bad guy for now. If you can't even be a bad guy properly, how can you be a good one?"
"Uh..." Xu Feng tossed down a silver note and fled as if he were flying. Who was this girl? How was she raised? Who taught her that? Was anyone going to let him live?
Now dressed as an ordinary person, Xu Feng walked through the streets again without attracting any attention; his spiritual energy was undetectable by mortals.
There was only one inn in the town, but Xu Feng dared not stay there; it would be too obvious and dangerous. If any cultivators came out in the same direction and checked here, they could easily find him.
It seemed he would have to wait until nightfall to leave again. However, he wondered how many people would pursue him then. If he left at night, they would surely think of that too and set up more ambushes for nighttime.
Unknowingly, they walked to a corner of the wall where a boy and a girl were playing house.
The boy said, "Tongtong, I've been to your house three times already, and each time you made me eat mud. This time, it's your turn to come to my house."
The girl replied, "You have no house and no car. I don't want to go with you, and besides, if I go with you, I'll have to eat mud. I'm so pretty; how can I eat mud?"
The boy said, "Alright, if you don't want to eat it, then we won't play this anymore. Your clothes are dirty; take them off and I'll help you wash them. After washing your clothes, you'll look even prettier, and Haoming won't even recognize you."
The girl responded eagerly, "Okay, okay." She started to take off her clothes.
Not recognized? Xu Feng suddenly realized, "My identity is fake anyway. Once I change back, how many people will still recognize me?"
In the corner, the boy was helping the girl take off her clothes when suddenly a plump woman rushed out and grabbed the boy's ear, scolding him, "You little rascal! All you know how to do is play. Aren't you going to eat? Come on, let's go home for dinner!"
As the boy was pulled away by his mother, the girl hugged her clothes and cried while calling out the boy's name: Guanxi! Guanxi!
