Xu Feng completely refined the entire Spiritual Ore Vein of Qinglong Mountain in one breath, significantly increasing his power. Not only did he replenish his Gold, Water, and Wood attributes, but he also pushed his Fire Element One Star realm to the Late Stage of Golden Core. The earlier Early Stage of Golden Core cultivator was shot dead with one arrow, and it was indeed a deserved fate.
The mortals mining in the cave were driven into a corner, while a group of Wuhua Island disciples shouted and searched inside. There were dozens of mining branches in the cave, and more than thirty disciples quickly found Xu Feng's location upon hearing the calls. They left two people at the cave entrance while the rest rushed in.
This time, Xu Feng showed no mercy. The news had surely spread, and Hua Qian Zhi might arrive soon; he had to evacuate immediately.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Three people fell in response, and Xu Feng dashed straight toward the cave entrance, shooting arrows as he ran, like a super Amazon warrior. His Late Stage of Golden Core Spiritual Arrows swept away anyone who stood in his way.
In just half a minute, only three Golden Core Mid-Stage Cultivators remained among those surrounding him.
"Retreat! Quickly retreat! We can't stop him!" The three scrambled to escape, with Xu Feng's arrows closely pursuing them, turning their roles from hunters to prey in an instant.
"Ah!" Two more Golden Core Cultivators were shot down. The last one finally reached the cave entrance but was too late to warn the disciples guarding it. He unleashed his Flying Sword and fled in a flash.
The two disciples guarding the entrance were not foolish; they had heard the commotion inside but hesitated to flee without understanding the situation. Seeing their fellow disciples run away faster than rabbits made them realize something was wrong. They each ran as far as they could in opposite directions.
Xu Feng burst out of the cave, and there were no Wuhua Island disciples left. Dozens of mortals who had just finished their deliveries huddled together in fear, their eyes filled with terror.
A mortal man who had just spoken with Xu Feng inside the cave mustered his courage and said, "Xian Ge... Immortal Master, we are just mortals and pose no threat to you. Please spare us."
Xu Feng naturally had no intention of bothering with these mortals. With only three Wuhua Island disciples having escaped without a trace, he had no desire to pursue them. Calculating the time, Qiu Wuling had been detained for nearly a month now. Although they created a false impression of Hua Du's escape during this time, it was unlikely that Hua Guinian would be fooled for long. He needed to hurry to Wuhua Island to rescue someone before things got complicated.
Having refined the Azure Dragon Spiritual Vein, Xu Feng's strength greatly increased. Based on his previous encounter with Hua Qian Zhi, he assessed that as a Late Stage of Golden Core cultivator, he could contend with Hua Qian Zhi. Even if he couldn't win, self-preservation would not be an issue. With this thought in mind, Xu Feng unleashed his Wings of the Strange Dragon and sped toward Mist City at maximum speed.
After reaching Golden Core Mid-Stage and mastering Five Elements Grand Mastery, Xu Feng's power escalated further. His flying speed doubled compared to before; if propelled by his Late Stage of Golden Core Fire Elemental Power, his speed would increase even more.
Qinglong Mountain was over ten thousand miles from Wuhua Island but only a few thousand miles from Mist City. Xu Feng flew urgently through the night and arrived at Mist City by early morning.
Xu Feng hurriedly found Lin Fangxin, gave a few instructions, and then flew straight to Wuhua Island.
This time, Xu Feng boldly entered Mist City. Any attentive cultivator would have noticed that less than a moment after Xu Feng left, various rumors began to spread.
"Hey, did you see? Xu Feng just came to Mist City!"
"I saw him too, and he brought someone with him. That person is Hua Du from Wuhua Island. I heard that Hua Du escaped from Xu Feng not long ago, but it seems he was captured again."
"Isn't he afraid of Hua Qian Zhi coming after him for so openly capturing Hua Du?"
"What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve heard that Xu Feng's strength has skyrocketed recently; even Hua Qian Zhi can't do anything about him. Sigh, if I had half of his strength, Cuihua wouldn't have run off with another cultivator..."
By noon, another piece of news spread through Mist City: a newly established sect called Koukou Group was actively recruiting disciples. The requirements were that applicants must be at least at the eighth level of Refining Qi, with no restrictions on background or age—anyone who wasn't extremely wicked could apply. Those selected would receive a Foundation Pill on the spot.
A Foundation Pill! This was an irresistible temptation for disciples at the Refining Qi stage. In no time, low-level cultivators in Mist City flocked to sign up for interviews. Some Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators also caught wind of the opportunity and inquired about it.
Upon inquiry, they discovered even better news: under the same conditions, any Foundation Establishment Practitioner selected to join Koukou Group would receive a Fifth-Level Concentration Pill on the spot. This was a Fifth-Rank Pill worth several tens of thousands; it was being handed out as a greeting gift.
This news spread like wildfire. Not only did scattered cultivators from Mist City rush over, but some well-informed outsiders also hurried to join in.
The recruitment was hosted by the Lin family, which had recently risen in prominence in Mist City. It was said that the Lin family had just promoted two Golden Core Cultivators and had made a powerful friend.
Upon investigation, it turned out that the Lin family was not recruiting disciples for themselves; they were merely acting on behalf of an organization called Koukou Group.
No matter what group it is, as long as it treats me well, it doesn’t matter where I cultivate. The recruitment conditions were much better than those of the six Major Sects. Cultivators scrambled to join Koukou Group. After layers of selection, the first batch of thirty disciples was quickly confirmed: twenty at the eighth level of Refining Qi and ten at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
These thirty individuals were arranged by the Lin family to stay at a temporary residence in Mist City, with all daily expenses covered by the Lin family.
The events unfolding in Mist City were naturally part of Xu Feng's instructions to Lin Fangxin. With Cai Shujun detained on Wuhua Island and Xu Feng lacking manpower to exert pressure on Wuhua Island, he needed help urgently. Gao Jingsong was in seclusion at Wan Jian Sect, and Yi Jiuzhou was at a critical moment in his advancement; thus, Lin Fangxin was the only person available to Xu Feng.
The Lin family had become a notable force in Mist City; Wuhua Island was unaware of their intentions and had to spend time dealing with the Five Faction Alliance, leaving them little opportunity to trouble the Lin family.
Xu Feng moved incredibly fast, reaching Wuhua Island in no time.
Xu Feng's actions were so bold that as soon as he arrived, Wuhua Island received news and mobilized over thirty Golden Core Disciples to surround him. Xu Feng flew straight to the spacious martial arts arena of Wuhua Island. A patrolling disciple was about to shout a warning when Xu Feng raised his hand and shot an arrow, sending him flying far away, dead beyond recovery.
Hua Guinian's face turned pale with anger; having someone kill their way to the island was a huge loss of face. This kind of incident had only happened once before at Wuhua Island, during the battle with Jin Liaoyuan two hundred years ago. After that, Wuhua Island sent many experts to hunt him down, severely injuring Jin Liaoyuan, who ultimately died from his wounds.
Now this young hothead had come to challenge Wuhua Island again. Had he lost his mind or was he always this unstable?
"Xu Feng, I was just about to find you, and here you are delivering yourself right to my doorstep," Hua Guinian said, gritting his teeth in anger. He already knew about the situation at Qinglong Mountain; this brat had single-handedly destroyed the Spirit Mine that could have supported Wuhua Island for hundreds of years.
Xu Feng smiled coldly and replied, "Flower Island Master, I must be frank; you are no longer my opponent. With Hua Qian Zhi absent, I won't take advantage of your misfortune. I'm here to inform you that if Elder Qiu and Cai Shujun encounter any mishaps, not only will Hua Du not return, but your Wuhua Island will also face dire consequences."
Xu Feng did not attack directly; first, he lacked absolute confidence in victory, and second, Qiu Wuling was in their hands—there was no way to rescue him through brute force.
"You speak arrogantly!" Hua Guinian was no fool. Xu Feng dared to come alone and provoke them clearly meant he was prepared. However, he wasn't easily intimidated; there were still a dozen or so Late Stage Golden Core experts on the island. No matter how strong Xu Feng was, it was impossible for him to defeat all of Wuhua Island with his Mid-Stage Golden Core strength.
A cultivator adorned with the Five Flowers of the Mistaken Sword Hall insignia jumped out and reported to Hua Guinian, "Xu Feng, ten years ago you participated in the Otherworldly Secret Realm Competition here. I was one of the judges back then; my name is Heathward. Although you've made progress since then, in my eyes, you're just a wild monkey jumping around. I'll give you a chance: surrender immediately or..."
"Enough with the nonsense," Xu Feng glanced at Heathward and vaguely recognized him. "If you want to fight, then fight; stop chattering."
Heathward was a Golden Robe Disciple of Wuhua Island with Late Stage Golden Core strength and was on the verge of being promoted to elder. By taking down Xu Feng today, he aimed to gain Hua Guinian's approval for an early promotion.
Heathward indeed stopped talking; his aura suddenly changed as he drew out a Superior Spirit Sword. His figure flickered as he rushed forward; the sword shadow darkened against the sky, emitting waves of deadly energy as he unleashed Wuhua Island's signature sword technique—Falling Petals Nine Swords: Azure Sky and Yellow Springs.
Xu Feng had seen Hua Du use this sword technique before; it could reach both heaven and hell, leaving no escape for its target. The execution of this sword by Heathward was many times stronger than when used by Hua Du.
With a dull thud that echoed throughout the martial arts arena of Wuhua Island, Heathward's Superior Spirit Sword struck Xu Feng accurately.
The exquisite Falling Petals Nine Swords indeed proved formidable; with one swing of the sword, Xu Feng had no chance to resist and was hit directly. The grand entrance that Xu Feng had made seemed futile as he couldn't even withstand one strike from Heathward? Even Heathward himself found it hard to believe, but the undeniable feeling of impact confirmed that he had indeed struck Xu Feng.
Seeing Xu Feng hit by a single blow left Hua Guinian astonished as well; suddenly he felt something click in his mind and thought that things might not be going well.
"Bang!" At the same time that Xu Feng struck with the Wind Spirit Sword, he also swung his fist. A glowing red fist heavily hit Heathward's chest, sending him flying like a kite with its string cut. Heathward's Superior Spirit Sword slipped from his hand and arced through the sky, landing at an angle on the ground, where it wobbled slightly.
Heathward's chest caved in, and a mouthful of fresh blood was spewed from his mouth as he curled up on the ground, resembling a dead dog. Xu Feng, who had been struck by the spirit sword, stood there as if nothing had happened, even playfully bouncing the spot that had been hit, like dust falling in space.
The entire arena fell silent.
Even breathing seemed to have stopped, with only Heathward's half-dead gasps breaking the stillness.
A single punch sent a Late Stage of Golden Core cultivator flying!
He had single-handedly taken on a full-force strike from a Late Golden Core Cultivator and remained unscathed!
Hua Guinian felt that one head was not enough; no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how Xu Feng managed to do this.
"Who else is there?" It was as if Feng Gang's voice from Kung Fu echoed across the empty training ground.
