As Xu Feng was about to break through, a cold snort suddenly came from Sky: "You think you can come and go as you please? Do you really think Wuhua Island can't keep you here?"
A beam of sword light shot through the air, striking towards Xu Feng like a thunderbolt.
Hua Wanduo was alarmed and urgently called out, "Second Brother, jealousy is in his hands. Heartbroken to jealousy."
With Hua Wanduo's exclamation, a tall White Shadow appeared in Sky, the sword cold as water and eyes sharp as stars; it was none other than Hua Qian Zhi, the Second Elder of Wuhua Island, who had not been seen for a long time.
Hua Qian Zhi stood in mid-air, his powerful aura spreading out. The cultivators from various sects were all astonished; he could fly without using any magical artifacts, a feat only achievable by a Nascent Soul Period Cultivator.
Indeed, Wuhua Island had gained another Yuan Ying Cultivator.
Chu Wushang's expression darkened as he contemplated how to respond. Qiu Wuling, having crossed paths with Hua Qian Zhi, was not surprised but looked worriedly at the retreating Xu Feng, unsure how this lone individual would cope.
Sky, the incredibly stern Hua Qian Zhi ignored Hua Wanduo, his sword intent unwavering as it shot forth. This was a Medium Quality Sword, on par with Xiang Ge's Crack Sword, named “Purple Lightning.” The dazzling sword energy surged towards Xu Feng without restraint.
Xu Feng had long sensed the movement behind him. Seeing that Hua Qian Zhi disregarded Hua Du's life and brazenly attacked him, he was also taken aback. If Wuhua Island abandoned Hua Du, escaping would be extremely difficult for Xu Feng.
Without further thought, Xu Feng flicked his wrist, and the Fire Dragon Whip transformed into a fire dragon, meeting the attack of Hua Qian Zhi's Purple Lightning Sword. With a loud bang, both the Fire Dragon Whip and the Purple Lightning Sword collided in Sky, dissipating into nothingness. Under the immense shockwave, Xu Feng was sent flying back a hundred steps.
“Medium-Grade Magical Artifact Fire Dragon Whip! That artifact from the Nine Dragon Pool! I didn't expect it to fall into Xu Feng's hands.”
“I heard that cultivator was being hunted by Lan Xiao from the Eight Directions Cave, yet how did he end up dead at his hands? It seems that Xu Feng is not as simple as imagined.”
“No matter how strong he is, how can he surpass Hua Qian Zhi? Can't you see? Hua Qian Zhi is already a Yuan Ying Cultivator. It's simply wishful thinking for Xu Feng to escape from him.”
Several sect cultivators watched as Xu Feng was repelled, unable to help but feel anxious for him.
Hua Guinian felt a surge of unease. What kind of luck had this person stumbled upon to obtain a treasure and, in such a short time, advance to the Golden Core Mid-Stage? Even more terrifying was the fact that he could withstand Hua Qian Zhi's sword strike without dying; truly a prodigy.
One of the cultivators behind Hua Guinian did not care about others' opinions and jumped up, pointing at Hua Qian Zhi and cursing, "Qian Zhi, you bastard! Are you trying to get Du killed? Du is your junior; how can you let him go to his death? You scoundrel, come down here and see if I don't beat you to death!" This person was Hua Du's father, Hua Guichen, making him Hua Qian Zhi's uncle. He certainly had the audacity to threaten Hua Qian Zhi.
Hua Guinian's expression darkened. Hua Qian Zhi's reckless attack on Xu Feng could lead to dire consequences; if Xu Feng were to lose, that sword strike would undoubtedly mean death for Hua Du.
Hua Guinian shouted, "Qian Zhi, do not act rashly!" He unleashed his Flying Sword and rushed over.
Xu Feng was surrounded by cultivators from Wuhua Island, with Hua Qian Zhi and Hua Wanduo guarding the outside. Xu Feng had nowhere to escape. After Hua Qian Zhi struck with his sword and was reprimanded by Hua Guichen, he dared not make another move.
Hua Guinian flew into the encirclement and called out, "Xu Feng, I know you have some connections with New Moon Sect. I won't blame you for intervening to save someone. Right now, just let the person go, and I will allow you to leave. Let’s pretend nothing has happened."
Xu Feng coldly smiled and replied, "I won't release anyone; I want to leave as well."
Hua Guinian said, "You came here only to take Cai Shujun away; I can grant your wish." Hua Guinian took a step back and offered Xu Feng a deal.
"What about Elder Qiu?"
"First release Hua Du, then we can talk."
"Then there's nothing to discuss." Xu Feng turned and flew away.
Hua Qian Zhi was itching to act but was held back by Hua Guinian. They watched helplessly as Xu Feng flew further away. Hua Guinian sighed and said, "Let him go. This person is ruthless; during his Foundation Establishment Stage, he killed dozens of disciples from the Six Major Sects in Mist City. If we pursue him now, it would only be detrimental to Du."
Hua Wanduo said, "But Du..."
"Don't worry," Hua Guinian replied slyly with a snort. "Qiu Wuling has helped him; he won't abandon Qiu Wuling. As long as Qiu Wuling and Cai Shujun are safe, Du will not be in danger."
Hua Wanduo said, "Are we just going to wait here for his response?"
Hua Guinian replied, "Right now he has the initiative, and we can only watch the situation unfold. Hua Du is a rare talent; we cannot afford to lose him. Once we get Hua Du back, everything will become easier."
Hua Du, a disciple of Hua Wanduo, was already the designated next Island Master of Wuhua Island. After pondering for a moment, Hua Wanduo said, "Father, I will go follow Xu Feng. If I have the chance, I might be able to rescue Hua Du." Xu Feng had just demonstrated his strength at the Golden Core Mid-Stage, but Hua Wanduo was confident he had enough power to defeat him.
Hua Qian Zhi interjected, "Wanduo, do not underestimate Xu Feng. He was able to take one of my strikes without injury; he is far from an ordinary Golden Core Mid-Stage Cultivator. You need to be cautious." Hua Qian Zhi had already gained a rough understanding of Xu Feng's abilities after a hasty strike.
"I understand, Second Brother." Hua Wanduo activated his Flying Sword and pursued Xu Feng.
Hua Guinian returned to the training ground and saw Chu Wushang and Qiu Wuling watching him with amusement. He smiled and said, "I apologize for the misunderstanding; we can discuss our matters slowly..." Feeling displeased after being outmaneuvered by Xu Feng, Hua Guinian was reluctant to offend Chu Wushang too much, especially with other sects watching.
In front of everyone, Xu Feng had stolen the groom away from Wuhua Island, causing them significant embarrassment.
Xu Feng flew swiftly, and each time Hua Du began to regain consciousness, Xu Feng knocked him out again. Eventually, Xu Feng simply used a Mesmerizing Pill to keep Hua Du asleep for an extended period.
Wuhua Island was too powerful; once they released Hua Du, Xu Feng would have no place to hide and would surely be killed by Hua Qian Zhi. Today, with just a casual strike, Hua Qian Zhi had already pushed Xu Feng back. Although he wasn't injured, the gap in their strengths was evident. Moreover, knowing that Hua Du was in Xu Feng's hands, Hua Qian Zhi still attacked; this showed how strong his killing intent was and how ruthless he could be.
After considering his options, Xu Feng concluded that the safest place would be the Beast Wasteland. He flew straight for two nights before finally reaching the Beast Wasteland from Wuhua Island. It took him several more hours to arrive at the Cliff by dusk.
Pangolin had received several Super Spirit Pills from Xu Feng and had made progress in strength over the past few months. Upon seeing Xu Feng return, he eagerly approached him to show goodwill. However, since Xu Feng had run out of "beast medicine," there was nothing left to give Pangolin. Eventually annoyed by Pangolin's persistence, Xu Feng lost his temper and gave him a good beating until Pangolin cried out for help.
White Eagle watched from a distance with amusement. This White Eagle didn't know what A Qi had been feeding it; its strength had rapidly increased and was nearing Sixth-Level Monster status. After laughing for a while and realizing that Xu Feng wanted to see A Qi, White Eagle took off to deliver the message.
A Qi threw Hua Du onto the ground while contemplating their next move. With Wuhua Island having lost so much face, they would surely find a way to regain it. It was uncertain how they would treat Chu Wushang; at least Qiu Wuling and Cai Shujun would continue to be detained but would not face life-threatening danger.
Hua Qian Zhi had a cold personality and would not allow things to drag on like this. If Wuhua Island decided to abandon Hua Du, things would become dire. For the sake of unifying Liuxiang Kingdom, sacrificing one Hua Du was something that someone as ambitious as Hua Guinian would certainly consider doing.
After the battle at Nine Dragon Pool, Hua Fengxiao had already lost his combat ability, making him no different from Zhu Wanda. This was evident from the moment he passed the Azure Dragon Whip to Hua Qian Zhi, indicating that this Grand Elder of Wuhua Island had reached a point of severe injury that was difficult to recover from.
Now, the only trump card for Wuhua Island was Hua Qian Zhi, the sole remaining Yuan Ying Cultivator with combat capability in Liuxiang Kingdom. Xu Feng had received a sword strike from him while using the Fire Dragon Whip, revealing a gap in their strengths. If he used the Moonchaser Bow for a long-range shot, it might compensate for this disparity; however, Hua Qian Zhi's Azure Dragon Whip posed a significant threat—one misstep could lead to capture.
Avoiding the Azure Dragon Whip became Xu Feng's most pressing concern. To annihilate Hua Qian Zhi using the Gale Sword Formation would require strength at the Late Stage of Golden Core. Given Xu Feng's current state, it would take at least five to eight years to advance to that level, which was still the fastest and most ideal scenario.
But where was there that much time? Xu Feng estimated that at most within a month, Wuhua Island would lose patience and decide to abandon Hua Du. By then, both Qiu Wuling and Cai Shujun would meet a tragic end.
What to do? Xu Feng buried himself in thought.
After a while, A Qi returned. A Qi was now busier than ever, seemingly overwhelmed with tasks.
Xu Feng took out the exotic fruit seedling that he had entrusted A Qi to cultivate and said, "This is for you; I forgot it last time."
Upon seeing the seedling, A Qi exclaimed joyfully, "Is this real? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"I made a mistake," Xu Feng pretended to snatch it back, but A Qi quickly protected it and said, "I can tell; this is definitely a seedling of the Manniuguo."
"Manniuguo?"
"Yes," A Qi replied. "This type of fruit has incredibly potent medicinal properties and is a Spirit Fruit that one would have to fight tooth and nail for in the Exotic Wilderness."
Xu Feng chuckled and said, "Your head didn't get broken; how did you manage to get one?"
A Qi explained, "What I got was the seed. The flesh was eaten by other beasts long ago." A Qi held the seedling with great affection; with this seedling, it could bear Manniuguo fruit in a hundred years. The potency of one Manniuguo fruit far surpassed that of a Seventh-Level Healing Pill. For a beast like A Qi, a hundred years was not a long time.
Xu Feng wasn't in the mood to discuss the Manniuguo seedling any further. He pointed at Hua Du and said, "This is Hua Du from Wuhua Island. Stay here for now; people from Wuhua Island may come looking for him. Arrange for some stronger subordinates to guard this place while I go into seclusion for a while." He then recounted everything that had happened on Wuhua Island to A Qi.
A Qi nodded and said, "The problem is, as long as they dare to come, they shouldn't think about going back. You can rest assured."
Xu Feng suddenly asked, "A Qi, how confident are you in facing Hua Qian Zhi?"
"Ten out of ten!" A Qi replied decisively. "His Azure Dragon Whip can't block my Purple Fire, but I can't go out; I can't leave the Beast Wasteland."
"Why?"
A Qi said seriously, "Since the moment I stepped into the Seventh-Level Monster realm, I received a Spiritual Breath warning me not to leave the Beast Wasteland. This restriction remains until I ascend to the Immortal Realm." Both human and demon cultivators share the same goal: to enter the Immortal Realm and attain immortality.
Xu Feng did not ask further. A Qi had previously mentioned that a super strong being controlled everything in Liuxiang Kingdom. If A Qi were to leave, it would undoubtedly disrupt the balance of power in Liuxiang Kingdom and cause chaos.
After chatting for a while, A Qi took the Manniu Fruit Seedling and went out. He no longer lived here; he had his own new Cave in the Seventh-Level Monster area, while Xu Feng still preferred to cultivate here.
Before long, three powerful Sixth-Level Monsters spread out around the Cliff, along with a Pangolin, surrounding the Cliff from all sides. Even if Hua Qian Zhi from the Nascent Soul Stage came over, it would take considerable effort to defeat the four Sixth-Level Monsters. This time would be enough for A Qi to arrive.
