The outskirts of Mist City are where Xu Feng is in seclusion, and it is also here that Xu Feng killed Guo Xiangqian from the New Moon Sect and Gong Duan from Wuhua Island.
I must find a Flying Mount as soon as possible; otherwise, it will be difficult to escape the encirclement of the Six Sects. Even if I take out that broken map now, no one would believe it leads to the treasures of the third layer of It Mountain Temple. It's like trying to wash away a stain by jumping into the Yellow River. A fragment of a map that is currently useless is just a nuisance.
I wonder if Lin Fangxin has returned. He took a straight path, and if he didn’t delay, he should have arrived at Mist City by now. Mist City is his territory; perhaps he can use his connections to find a way to leave Mist City for Xian City.
The closer I get to the city, the thinner the mist becomes, and visibility increases.
Today, Mist City seems somewhat different; there’s a faint hint of killing intent hidden within the White Mist. Before Xu Feng even enters the city, chaos erupts at the city gate as several people in white rush in and replace the original guards.
Wuhua Island! Damn, that was fast!
As soon as Xu Feng peeks out from the forest, he quickly retracts. He can wear Wuhua Island's clothing now, but stepping out would definitely expose him. Xu Feng opens his ring space and rummages around until he finally finds a black long robe from Skinny High Monk's storage bag in Nine Dragon Pool.
After changing into black clothes, Xu Feng strides toward the city gate. At the entrance, a disciple from Wuhua Island is posting a bounty notice.
Xu Feng nearly spits blood upon seeing it; the notice features a drawing of him in his altered form, with Yan Da's name and relevant details listed alongside a bounty of one hundred thousand spirit stones. This amount is quite substantial for an average loose cultivator, and it’s only for providing accurate information.
As for the price for capturing or killing him, it isn’t listed; perhaps Wuhua Island believes that an average loose cultivator could never catch Xu Feng, or maybe they simply don’t want anyone to catch him.
Having valuable assets can be a crime; Xu Feng doesn’t blame Wuhua Island since he has killed their people before. What frustrates him is that the drawing is so poorly done—it bears no resemblance to the handsome Xu Feng at all. He wonders who drew it; did they not have eyes? This handsome guy was drawn looking like Takeshi Kaneshiro—it's just terrible.
Entering the city is free for cultivators, and the disciples from Wuhua Island do not obstruct him; they merely glance at Xu Feng a few more times.
Xu Feng now looks nothing like the figure in the drawing; the only ones who might resemble him are those at Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage.
Once inside the city, Xu Feng wanders around aimlessly until he finally finds a tavern. After casually strolling around to ensure no one is following him, he confidently walks inside. The servers are unfamiliar faces; no one recognizes anyone else.
In the lobby, three to five cultivators were seated, all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, enjoying their dinner.
A host greeted Xu Feng and handed him a menu for ordering.
"Do you have Tiger Meat?"
"Yes, what kind of tiger does the senior want?"
"What types of tigers do you have?"
"Saber-toothed Tiger, Long-Haired Tiger, Northeast Tiger, Bengal Tiger..."
"I'll take Zhao Hu."
"…"
Xu Feng was invited to a VIP Room. After a while, Zhao Hu hurried in. Upon seeing Xu Feng, he asked, "May I know who this senior is?" Zhao Hu indeed did not recognize the current Xu Feng.
"Has Lin Fangxin returned?" Xu Feng asked directly.
Zhao Hu paused for a moment, finding the voice somewhat familiar. He replied, "The Six Young Master hasn't returned yet, but we've already received news that Ming Yi can come back anytime."
Xu Feng took out a piece of spirit stone, drew several hand seals on it, and handed it to Zhao Hu. "Give this to Lin Fangxin. He should crush it when he returns. Wait for me here." This was a simple sensing spirit stone; as soon as the formation on the stone was activated, Xu Feng would be able to sense it immediately.
Seeing Xu Feng turn to leave, Zhao Hu suddenly realized something. "S-Senior, this afternoon many people suddenly arrived in Mist City, and more are coming. People from the Six Major Sects are all here. The Spirit Beast Manor's branch in Mist City has already been taken over by Wuhua Island."
Zhao Hu had already figured out Xu Feng's identity.
The action is so fast; Wuhua Island is determined to get me this time.
"Hurry, hurry!" A series of urgent calls came from downstairs.
"It's Six Young Master who has returned," Zhao Hu said happily. "Six Young Master must have a way, don't worry, senior." Zhao Hu hurriedly ran downstairs.
Soon, Lin Fangxin quickly caught up. Upon seeing Xu Feng, she let out a surprised sound and then seemed to be in a daze, pulling Xu Feng into a secret room and turning back to let Zhao Hu guard the staircase, not allowing anyone to come up.
Inside the secret room, the two sat down separately.
"Isn't Ming Cai coming?" Xu Feng asked.
Lin Fangxin poured two cups of tea, drank one herself, and said, "Half-Dead Bao only has four or five people with him. I bought his other White Eagle. I traveled alone this time, so I arrived quickly."
Then Lin Fangxin roughly explained the situation of the various factions regarding Xu Feng's departure.
"It seems Wuhua Island has been paying attention to me for a long time."
"Wuhua Island just acted first; in fact, all factions are eyeing Yan Daoyou."
"Oh?"
"When I was on the way, I found that there were people from Six Sects following Wuhua Island, waiting for an opportunity to act, especially from New Moon Sect. Even their Grand Elder Qiu Wuling came."
"Qiu Wuling! So it's her." Xu Feng immediately recalled the elegant female cultivator he had brushed past from New Moon Sect when he was in Sky, who was in front of Cai Shujun. It turned out she was actually Grand Elder Qiu Wuling from New Moon Sect.
"Yan Daoyou, I received news when I entered the city that you are already in Mist City. Now all factions are looking for you. There are people from Wuhua Island following the White Eagle at Spirit Beast Manor," Lin Fangxin said, tapping her forehead with frustration as veins popped out.
"I'll hide outside the city for a while. My appearance has changed a lot, and as long as I don't rush out, they might not recognize me."
"Why hide? Just stay here with me. Enjoy good food and drinks. I don't believe the Six Major Sects can find us here." Lin Fangxin was a bit agitated; it was quite embarrassing that he couldn't protect someone on his own turf.
"I appreciate it." Xu Feng understood that Lin Fangxin didn't want him to take risks alone, but if they stayed here and were discovered, not only would he be trapped, but the Lin family would also be implicated. It could lead to their decline.
"Then you take care," Lin Fangxin conceded his stance. "Our Lin family often goes out to procure medicinal herbs. I'll contact Spirit Beast Manor. If all goes well, I can confirm things soon. You wait for me outside the city, and I'll take you to Xian City." Lin Fangxin intended for Xu Feng to take a detour to avoid the scrutiny of Wuhua Island.
Xu Feng thought about it and found this method feasible, but he was unsure about Wuhua Island's control over White Eagle. If every eagle had someone personally following it, then taking an eagle midway would also carry risks.
"When the time comes, I'll arrange for another cultivator outside the city. You two will go together and claim to be my hired guards. If any disciples from Wuhua Island question you, just kill them and leave first." Lin Fangxin gritted his teeth.
Xu Feng would naturally do his best to avoid such a situation.
The two agreed on a time and place to meet outside the city. Xu Feng braved the night and left A Restaurant.
