It was "he" again.
Xu Feng knew that the "he" referred to by Zhu Wanda and the "he" referred to by A Qi were likely the same person, a powerful existence that made Xu Feng look up in awe. Perhaps only someone at the Nascent Soul Stage could receive information about him.
The carriage ride from Mist City to Bailu Mountain took four days, leaving only five days until reaching Wuhua Island. After leaving the forbidden area of Bailu Mountain, Xu Feng called the three Vice Leaders together to assign them tasks.
Gao Jingsong would continue to stay at Bailu Mountain, perfecting the management systems of Koukou Group while also working on the sect's infrastructure. The disciples would temporarily use Wan Jian Sect's Cultivation Method as their foundational cultivation method.
Yi Jiuzhou, aside from being responsible for the security of Koukou Group, focused solely on his cultivation and would later accompany Xu Feng to Wuhua Island.
Lin Fangxin would leverage her connections to vigorously promote the misdeeds of Wuhua Island, creating momentum for Xu Feng's actions later on.
After assigning their respective tasks, Xu Feng was the first to leave Bailu Mountain, flying towards the nearest New Moon Sect.
After Hua Qian Zhi emerged from Wuhua Island, everyone from the four sects felt uneasy. Eight Directions Cave had already harbored intentions of replacing Wan Jian Sect as the leader of the Six Major Sects, and now they actively participated, forming an alliance with the other four sects to create the Five Faction Alliance to jointly confront Wuhua Island.
The center of this Five Faction Alliance was established at Wangyue Peak of New Moon Sect. Since the battle at Nine Dragon Pool, New Moon Sect had once again become the command center for the allied forces, but this time it was not against foreign enemies; it was aimed at their former ally, Wuhua Island.
The Modern Clerk had little difference from the mundane world; outsiders united against a common enemy, and when there were no external threats, they turned against each other. Just moments ago, they were comrades in the Great War at Nine Dragon Pool, but now they became deadly rivals.
With a common enemy, New Moon Sect was revitalized, filled with fighting spirit and ready for a great battle against Wuhua Island's experts at any moment.
Hua Qian Zhi had previously come alone to New Moon Sect and abducted Cai Shujun. After forming the Five Faction Alliance, Wuhua Island no longer dared to approach New Moon Sect. With numerous experts gathering here, Hua Qian Zhi could not hope to take on hundreds alone.
The Five Faction Alliance faced difficulties because they lacked someone capable of restraining Hua Qian Zhi. Whenever Hua Qian Zhi took action, he forced out all the elites from the Five Sects, leading to vulnerabilities elsewhere and making it impossible to manage everything effectively.
Today, Chu Wushang discussed this topic with the leaders of the four sects: who would hold back Hua Qian Zhi?
Chu Wushang said, "I believe you have all heard the news. Recently, Xu Feng defeated Hua Wanduo in two moves in Mist City while simultaneously using two Medium-Grade Magical Artifacts. His cultivation has soared to the Late Stage of Golden Core. If such a person can confront Hua Qian Zhi, even if he does not win, he can still escape calmly."
Qian Tuo Dao: "That's right, and Xu Feng has a ten-day agreement with Wuhua Island. At that time, Hua Qian Zhi will definitely have a showdown with Xu Feng. If we take the opportunity to strike, as long as Xu Feng can hold on for a while, it won't be difficult for us, the Five Sects, to surround and attack Wuhua Island."
Chai Longbo said: "Xu Feng is ruthless and merciless. Years ago, due to a misunderstanding, he killed dozens of our Foundation Disciples. He might not be willing to face Hua Qian Zhi in a one-on-one fight."
Lü Xinghe said: "The exchange of personnel with Wuhua Island after ten days was proposed by him; we didn't force him. Hua Qian Zhi is arrogant and would never let Xu Feng go. It would be best for us to profit from this situation."
Chu Wushang, grateful for Xu Feng's assistance, had long since lost any prejudice against him. He only hoped that Xu Feng would formally return to the New Moon Sect for the sake of Qiu Wuling. He then said: "Xu Feng is a remarkable talent. Back then, he slaughtered various sects because they pushed him too hard, leaving him no choice. Elder Qiu is trapped in Wuhua Island, and he resolutely came to rescue him, which shows he is someone who repays kindness and is not a mere killer."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Chu Wushang continued: "Xu Feng faced Hua Qian Zhi with his strength at the mid-stage of the Golden Core just half a month ago and was only slightly at a disadvantage. Now that he has refined the Azure Dragon Mine, his strength has advanced to the late stage of the Golden Core. I dare say that Hua Qian Zhi will definitely not be able to defeat Xu Feng. What we lack in the Five Faction Alliance is an expert who can contend with Hua Qian Zhi. If we join forces with Xu Feng, then Wuhua Island will not be a concern."
Everyone found this reasoning sound, and the elders and experts from various sects present at the meeting expressed that this plan was feasible. One person said: "Xu Feng has a deep friendship with Elder Qiu. Why not have Chu Zhangmen reach out to talk with Xu Feng? After all, he is originally from your New Moon Sect, and this matter would benefit him greatly without any harm..."
Chu Wushang had already thought of this and was about to express his intention when a disciple reported from outside: "Outer Sect Brother Xu Feng is waiting outside and wishes to see the Sect Leader regarding an important matter."
Xu Feng, indeed! His lightness skill is impressive!
Chu Wushang was overjoyed and said: "Please invite him in." The use of the word "please" by Chu Wushang in front of the other sect cultivators undoubtedly indicated that while Xu Feng was a disciple of the New Moon Sect, he was not under his command; their relationship was one of cooperation.
The conference hall was equipped with soundproofing formations, so Xu Feng did not hear what Chu Wushang and the others were discussing. As he entered the hall, dozens of eyes fell upon him—these were all cultivators at or above the mid-stage of the Golden Core. Two months ago, when Xu Feng had last been here, he had felt somewhat overwhelmed by their presence. However, now none of these Golden Core cultivators were his match; their gazes towards him were no longer condescending but filled with admiration.
"Xu Feng, greetings to the Sect Leader." In front of everyone, Xu Feng showed respect to Chu Wushang. He was no longer just an outer disciple of the New Moon Sect, but also the deputy master of the Pharmacy.
"Be seated." Chu Wushang was very pleased with how Xu Feng presented himself. A disciple brought over a cushion, which Xu Feng accepted and sat down in a position towards the back.
"Xu Feng, currently the Liuxiang Kingdom Five Faction Alliance is jointly opposing Wuhua Island. You must be aware of this matter?"
"Xu Feng: I am aware."
He did not refer to himself as a disciple and maintained a certain distance from Chu Wushang. This relationship was subtle, and naturally, Chu Wushang did not bring it up. The only one who could save Qiu Wuling was Xu Feng, who also had Hua Du from Wuhua Island in his hands. If he did not take action, Qiu Wuling's life would be in danger, and even the New Moon Sect and the Five Faction Alliance could be devoured by Wuhua Island.
Chu Wushang said, "I heard that you have made an agreement with Wuhua Island to exchange for Elder Qiu within ten days?"
Xu Feng replied, "Yes. I came here to discuss this matter with the Sect Leader." Xu Feng had learned about the situation of the Five Faction Alliance from Lin Fangxin and could guess a bit about the current circumstances now that the Five Sects had gathered.
Although the New Moon Sect had been severely damaged by Hua Qian Zhi, it still retained some strength, and the Five Faction Alliance looked to the New Moon Sect for guidance.
Chu Wushang continued, "Wuhua Island is ambitious and aims to unify Liuxiang Kingdom. If we do not act, our respective foundations will be reduced to ashes. That is why we established the Five Faction Alliance to resist the dominance of Wuhua Island. Xu Feng, since you are here for Wuhua Island, there is no need to avoid suspicion. Everyone present is an opponent of Wuhua Island. If you have any strategies, feel free to share them. Your matters are also those of the New Moon Sect, and the Five Faction Alliance will not ignore them."
Chu Wushang's meaning was clear: saving Qiu Wuling was a matter for the New Moon Sect, and since you are helping, I will naturally do my utmost to assist you.
Xu Feng said, "To be honest, I have coincidentally advanced to the Late Stage of Golden Core and believe I have the strength to fight Hua Qian Zhi. However, there are many experts from Wuhua Island, so rescuing Elder Qiu will not be easy. Therefore, I hope for the cooperation of the Five Sects. If we fail in exchanging people, everyone should have the ability to pressure Wuhua Island into handing him over."
Everything was developing in a direction favorable to both parties—mutually beneficial. Xu Feng wanted to use the power of the Five Sects to suppress Wuhua Island's conventional forces while the Five Sects aimed to use Xu Feng to hold back Hua Qian Zhi. As a party involved, the New Moon Sect hoped for both sides to unite. Unbeknownst to him, Xu Feng had become a decisive factor in determining the course of battle.
After hearing this, Lin Wushang immediately expressed support: "The New Moon Sect is willing to advance and retreat with Xu Feng and will fully support his actions against Wuhua Island."
The other sects were not foolish either; with Xu Feng as a shield, attacking Wuhua Island became much easier. They quickly expressed their support for Xu Feng's actions.
With everyone's intentions aligned, it was time to formulate an action plan. The Five Sects showcased their abilities with countless strategies that Xu Feng had never even considered. Listening made Xu Feng feel uneasy; he thought that these righteous sects were more cunning than he had imagined. In the future, when Koukou Group made public appearances, he would have to be cautious not to fall into their traps.
In truth, Xu Feng understood that all these schemes were based on his ability to hold back Hua Qian Zhi; if he were to fail, all these tactics would be rendered useless.
In the face of absolute strength, schemes were nothing but a joke.
After discussing throughout the morning, they finally finalized their combat plan. Xu Feng bid farewell to Chu Wushang and hurried back to Beast Wasteland.
It was already deep into the night at Cliff, and Hua Du had been asleep for over ten hours. There was nothing unusual about it; cultivators have robust physiques that allow them to go months without food or water without issue. For a Golden Core Stage cultivator like Hua Du, as long as they were not sealed with heavy techniques, they could absorb Earthly Spirit Qi even while asleep, converting it into energy to sustain their lives.
Xu Feng let Hua Du sleep, not wanting to face this former ally. Ten years ago, they had fought together against the Nine Dragon Pool in the Otherworldly Secret Realm, and later entered It Mountain Temple, where only Xu Feng, Cai Shujun, and Hua Du remained.
Hua Du was proud but not inherently bad. His strength far surpassed Guo Manman’s by a hundredfold, yet their personalities were quite similar. Guo Manman had an uncle, Guo Xiangqian, who misled her for life, while Hua Du had an ambitious uncle, Hua Guinian. In Hua Guinian's mind, nothing was more tempting than power. If Hua Du did not rise to prominence quickly, he would inevitably become a victim of Hua Guinian's ambitions.
The Pangolin obediently guarded outside while several Sixth-Level Monsters roamed nearby, protecting Hua Du inside Cliff from being taken away.
There were only four hours left until the shift change. Xu Feng did not seek out A Qi and instead focused on cultivating in the stone cave.
The sudden refining of the Spiritual Vein caused Xu Feng's strength to surge instantly. With Golden Core Mid-Stage mastery of Five Elements Grand Mastery, he could easily defeat most Late Stage of Golden Core opponents.
Xu Feng spent two hours consolidating his cultivation and used the third hour to let Ultraman wield the Crack Sword against the beasts in the wilderness to further understand Ultraman's capabilities.
After spending over ten High-Quality Spirit Stones, Xu Feng thoroughly assessed Ultraman's strength. Ultraman's single attack power was comparable to Hua Qian Zhi’s; both were at the Nascent Soul Early Stage level. However, Ultraman excelled in physical resilience and felt no pain or injury. As long as there were spirit stones available, it could fight endlessly.
Holding the Medium-Grade Magical Artifact Crack Sword, Ultraman would face off against Hua Qian Zhi, who also possessed a Medium-Grade Magical Artifact known as the Purple Lightning Sword. What kind of spectacle would that create?
