On the southern peak of Cat Ear Mountain, Luo Changzhu stood respectfully to the side. Not far in front of him was a monk dressed in a silver robe.
The Silver Robed Monk looked at the sword light emanating from Cat Ear Mountain, his brow slightly furrowed as he murmured, "To control thirteen Supreme Flying Swords simultaneously with such formidable attack power, when did Zheguo produce such a person? Killing Qianlongzi in one strike, this individual must be at least at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. Wuwei Academy has lost its way and finally brought disaster upon itself this time."
Luo Changzhu asked, "Yan Elder, how should we operate Jingcheng Auction from now on?"
The Silver Robed Monk replied, "The Lord of Fragrance has not shown himself for a long time; I fear he will not return. Once this matter is settled, Jingcheng Auction will fully open, and all items from Liuxiang Kingdom can be auctioned here without any reservations."
Luo Changzhu responded, "Understood."
To the north of Cat Ear Mountain, Xu Feng hid behind a tree, observing the movements of Cat Ear Mountain through the dense foliage. He couldn't hear clearly but could see quite well.
Xu Feng's original plan was to rely on the speed of Wings of the Strange Dragon to ambush Fang Wenshan's people and intimidate them from advancing.
Upon entering Cat Ear Mountain, he suddenly discovered that Ye Qiongyao had arrived first and was engaged in a fierce conflict with Fang Wenshan's men.
Xu Feng then withdrew to wait for an opportunity. He had witnessed Ye Qiongyao's character and strength; indeed, she acted ruthlessly, killing several Divine Separation Practitioners from Azure Cloud Pavilion before openly challenging Fang Wenshan.
Unexpectedly, a Qianlongzi at the Great Perfection Stage suddenly appeared, and unfortunate Ye Qiongyao was heavily injured right after emerging from her retreat.
With Xu Feng's current strength being only able to match Divine Separation Late Stage practitioners, he immediately fled when Qianlongzi showed up, retreating over a hundred miles away. Using his exceptional eyesight, he observed the situation at Cat Ear Mountain.
Then he witnessed the tragic scene of Qianlongzi's death.
To kill Qianlongzi in one strike, could there really be such a powerful expert in Liuxiang Kingdom? Xu Feng felt both astonished and delighted; astonished that this person also used Sword Formation—though controlling fewer swords than Xu Feng, their power was hundreds of times stronger. Delighted that finally there was an expert who openly opposed Wuwei Academy alongside him; he was no longer alone in this fight against such a giant.
The Sword Formation is Xu Feng's trump card. Based on the power of the Sword Formation at Cat Ear Mountain, the sword master should be a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator on par with Qianlongzi. It would not be difficult to kill an opponent of the same level with the Sword Formation.
However, since Xu Feng debuted, he has only seen Xiang Ge use it once and has not seen anyone else practice the Sword Formation. This is because the Sword Formation is extremely difficult to cultivate. When Xiang Ge activated it once, he ended up spitting out half a pound of blood and was ridiculed by his peers for "wounding others with his own blood."
Xu Feng combined the Wan Jian Sect's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation to improve his sword control techniques, along with his powerful Soul Power, which allows him to easily manipulate thirty-six Flying Swords. How did that person manage to do it?
From the trajectory of the Flying Swords, it resembles the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation, following a curve rather than a straight line. This makes it much harder to evade the swords, naturally increasing their lethality.
Someone has actually mastered the Sword Formation again!
Seeing Qianlongzi meet a tragic end, Xu Feng felt pleased but couldn't help but think of another question: What would I do if I were Qianlongzi?
Since mastering the Gale Sword Formation, Xu Feng has only focused on offense; no one at his level could withstand him, and he has never failed in challenging opponents above his level. However, he had never considered how to defend himself. Now that another expert who can use the Sword Formation has emerged, he must take this into account.
Studying counter-Sword Formation combat techniques is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two; he can only think about it when he has time.
Seeing that Qianlongzi had fallen, Xu Feng estimated that there would no longer be any Great Perfection Stage experts on Fang Wenshan's side. He then released his Wings of the Strange Dragon and shot into the sky, flying towards Cat Ear Mountain.
From a high vantage point, Xu Feng could see everything happening at Cat Ear Mountain. He stopped when he reached a distance of thirty miles.
In a thirty-mile radius centered around Cat Ear Mountain, hundreds or even thousands of "lanterns" suddenly appeared, rapidly approaching Cat Ear Mountain. These lanterns were not only on the ground but also in the sky, although there were significantly fewer in the sky.
A horde of demon beasts! A Qi has finally made a move.
A Flying Beast spotted Xu Feng at a higher altitude and climbed to within ten zhang of him.
"Yoohoo!" The creature joyfully called out, revealing itself to be the familiar White Eagle.
White Eagle had been guarding Jin Liaoyuan's remains at the Cliff alongside Pangolin. After being promoted to a Seventh-Level Monster, A Qi recalled White Eagle to his side, allowing another beast to take over its duties at the Cliff.
"A Qi?" Xu Feng asked in the Sky.
Having learned quite a bit of "Chinese" from A Qi over the past eighty years, White Eagle replied, "Follow me; I'll take you to see Cave Master."
Xu Feng followed White Eagle into a dense forest and soon found A Qi.
A Qi was fiercely discussing battle plans with several Transformed Beasts.
"A Qi!" Xu Feng said with a stern expression as he approached. Nearby beasts that recognized Xu Feng called out "Deputy Cave Master," and several Transformation Period monsters greeted him warmly. These leaders had met during their trip to the Arctic Snowfield and were somewhat familiar with each other.
Seeing Xu Feng's displeased face, A Qi said, "Junior brother, come on, I'm your senior brother. Even if you don't want to call me that, at least call me Cave Master. They all call me Qi Da Sheng; can't you give me a little face?"
Xu Feng retorted angrily, "You’re supposed to protect Liuxiang Kingdom! Look at the situation now; they’ve already reached our doorstep. What are you doing?" If it weren't for A Qi's status as Cave Master, Xu Feng would have kicked him a couple of times.
A Qi replied, "Don't be impulsive. Look, I'm already taking action; the problem will be resolved soon. I’m strategizing for victory..."
Xu Feng interrupted, "Enough! Tell me why you only started acting so late and how they managed to get in."
A Qi spoke a few words in a strange language to his subordinates, and those beasts took their orders and left.
A Qi said, "I am not taking action because they have brought a master at the Great Perfection Stage this time. I cannot handle him with my current strength, so I can only wait for an opportunity. This master came through a separate path from the Beast Wasteland and then built a Teleportation Array at Cat Ear Mountain. Those people entered through the Teleportation Array."
This situation is reminiscent of the Nine Dragon Pool from years ago, where a powerful master arrived, then heavy investments were made to construct a Teleportation Array, followed by troops being sent to seize control of Liuxiang Kingdom. Without the deterrent of the Lord of Fragrance, masters at the Great Perfection Stage could rampage through Liuxiang Kingdom without restraint.
A Qi had been observing in secret. Seeing that the Great Perfection Stage master Qianlongzi was dead and no other powerful figures remained, he mobilized his army of beasts to surround Cat Ear Mountain.
With A Qi's strength, no one below the Great Perfection Stage could match him. Xu Feng saw A Qi's arrangements and ceased further inquiries.
That night was destined to be disastrous for Yue Ren Mountain Villa. First, several Separation of Spirit masters were killed by Ye Qiongyao, and then their trump card, the Great Perfection Stage master Qianlongzi, was also slain without anyone even seeing who the killer was.
While Fang Wenshan and others were still reeling from the shock of Qianlongzi's demise, A Qi's army of beasts had already surrounded them completely.
Without Qianlongzi as their backbone, Fang Wenshan could no longer maintain control over the situation.
"Run! We are surrounded by beasts! Beasts at the Transformation Period!"
Fang Wenshan shouted, "Whoever dares to disrupt our morale will be killed!"
Chaos erupted on Cat Ear Mountain; no one knew who was shouting. Seeing that defeat was imminent, Fang Wenshan could only say, "Nine Dragon Pool and Mu Jianlin will confront them; Yue Ren Mountain Villa and Azure Cloud Pavilion should return to Zheguo first."
A voice shouted back angrily, "Shut your mouth! You want us Nine Dragon Pool to die for you? If you want to fight, go ahead; I'm leaving." The speaker was from Nine Dragon Pool's Second Floor. Having lost Xiang Qi and feeling marginalized everywhere, they had long harbored discontent.
The people from Yue Ren Mountain Villa started to panic, shouting, "We need to escape first; let them die! Hurry to the Teleportation Array!"
Chaos erupted on Cat Ear Mountain as everyone rushed toward the Teleportation Array, eager to be the first to leave.
The people from Yue Ren Mountain Villa arrived first, but there were too many of them. They ignored commands and crowded the Teleportation Array, fearing that if they didn't get in, they would die outside.
"Everyone get out! Follow my orders!" Fang Wenshan shouted angrily, but his voice was drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
Monsters charged in, and the outermost cultivators had already engaged in battle with them.
These monsters were carefully selected by A Qi, each one above level seven and in overwhelming numbers, controlling the airspace. The physical bodies of human cultivators were inherently weaker than those of monsters, and with such a significant numerical disadvantage and no will to fight, they stood no chance against the beasts.
Screams echoed as cultivators fell one after another; within a minute, those on the outskirts were completely slaughtered.
A few exhausted monsters feasted on the fallen human cultivators, devouring them greedily. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, creating a horrifying scene.
Suddenly, several yellow spiritual arrows flew in, shattering the already crowded Teleportation Array. The cultivators inside were severely injured by the barrage.
The only chance for escape—the Teleportation Array—was destroyed.
"Run! The Teleportation Array is destroyed! We're going to die! Hurry!"
With no strength left to fight back, the cultivators took to the air and scattered in all directions.
The demon beasts surged forward, and the cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage were instantly killed. Only those at the Divine Separation Stage managed to escape from Cat Ear Mountain, but each of them was followed by a dozen Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts. If they weren't careful, they would be surrounded—ten against one; even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured.
A Qi and several Transformation Period demon beasts were incredibly powerful. In one-on-one combat, no Divine Separation Stage cultivator could escape; all would perish within ten moves.
Fang Wenshan watched as his subordinates fell one by one, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. Damn it, was he really going to die here today? Even if he survived, there would be no way to return. Yue Ren Mountain Villa had always been a lackey of Wuwei Academy. With Qianlongzi dead, he would have to bear some responsibility for this; his life might very well be over.
Just as he was contemplating how to escape, he suddenly saw an arrow of light in the sky—Xu Feng was attacking the fleeing Zheguo cultivators.
Fang Wenshan sneered. Those Transformation Period demon beasts were helpless; could they not deal with this Early Stage of Spirit Separation human? Among the demon beasts, only Xu Feng was human. It seemed Xu Feng had some connection with the demon beasts. As long as he captured Xu Feng, his life would be secured.
He rushed in front of Xu Feng and shouted angrily, “Xu Feng, you traitorous human! How dare you collude with demon beasts to kill my Zheguo cultivators? I represent…”
“Represent your mother!” Xu Feng shot an arrow at him.
Fang Wenshan quickly dodged and didn’t linger; he turned and ran. Xu Feng pursued him relentlessly, and soon both disappeared into the night.
