Wind Shadow City

Seeing that Su Xueqing was already obsessed, Wu Hai's further persuasion was useless.

He could only sigh helplessly, leave Su Xueqing's courtyard, and immediately send a message to Xiao Feng.

Wu Hai told Xiao Feng about Su Xueqing's current situation, warning Xiao Feng to be careful, as Su Xueqing might go after Zhao Yuwei.

“She now has a tendency towards Qi Deviation; I really don't know how to persuade her. Since you two have left, don't come back for now.”

“Perhaps over time, the hatred in her heart can gradually resolve, and she will also understand that this is merely her own obsession at play.”

Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised after receiving the message from Wu Hai.

He indeed did not expect that merely killing Yuan Ruo would have such a significant impact on Su Xueqing.

But Xiao Feng did not regret it. If Su Xueqing felt that Yuan Ruo should not have been killed, it proved that Su Xueqing approved of Yuan Ruo's actions.

If that were the case, Xiao Feng would eventually part ways with Su Xueqing.

“Senior Sister, further ahead is a relatively large city named Fengying City. It’s also some distance from the Ming Cult, and the scenery here is excellent, with mountains and rivers nearby, and the town is large enough. How about we settle down here first?”

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei had been gone for some time.

Their speed was not slow; they had been continuously searching for a suitable city to live in.

Finally, Xiao Feng found a city that met Zhao Yuwei's requirements.

“Fengying City? That name sounds quite nice. Let's live here then.”

Ever since Xiao Feng accompanied Zhao Yuwei away, at first, Zhao Yuwei still felt guilty about the Su Xueqing matter.

But she didn't know where she went wrong.

Was it wrong to not hold Yuan Ruo accountable?

Or was it wrong for failing to stop Xiao Feng from killing Yuan Ruo for her revenge?

Or was it wrong that she shouldn't have used a barrier to block herself, leading to Yuan Ruo's death by backlash?

After much thought, Zhao Yuwei consistently felt that these wrongs were not her fault at all.

So, the smile on Zhao Yuwei's face gradually increased, and Xiao Feng was content to see Zhao Yuwei like this.

The two transformed into ordinary Mortals and entered Fengying City.

Since they intended to reside there for a long time, they would certainly need to buy a small courtyard.

“Let’s go to the brokerage. I heard it’s like some of those more obscure auction houses in our area. Let’s see if they have any small courtyards for sale.”

Xiao Feng led Zhao Yuwei into a nearby, seemingly large brokerage.

Places like this not only sell servants and guards but naturally also have some real estate resources.

At Xiao Feng's request, they indeed found him a well-located, quiet yet not isolated small courtyard.

The scent of fireworks drifting in from the street outside made Zhao Yuwei instantly fall in love with this small courtyard.

After Xiao Feng noticed Zhao Yuwei's fondness, the two decided to temporarily make their home there.

Perhaps in the future, when they've stayed long enough in this place, they might move to another location, leaving this small courtyard as a memento.

“We’ve already paid the money; this courtyard is ours now.”

Xiao Feng threw the silver in his hand to the other party.

The other party readily produced the deed.

After both parties completed the procedures, this small courtyard officially belonged to Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei thus began living the ordinary lives of common people.

The two completely concealed their Spirit Energy, becoming just like ordinary Mortals.

Xiao Feng could feel that the suppressed aura around Zhao Yuwei was slowly disappearing, replaced by genuine relaxation and happiness.

However, not long after their happy and smooth days began, Xiao Feng, during an occasional outing to buy things, discovered that their small city had many more Cultivators.

Zhao Yuwei also noticed this upon returning from the street.

She asked Xiao Feng with some worry if something major had happened nearby.

Were they unable to continue staying there?

“No, don't worry. I'll go out tomorrow and inquire about the news. Perhaps some treasure has appeared nearby?”

Xiao Feng didn't know that the reason he used to comfort Zhao Yuwei at that moment would turn out to be the truth behind the recent increase in Cultivators in Fengying City.

The next day, when Xiao Feng went to a pancake stall as usual to buy pancakes, he specifically asked the vendor if he felt there had been an unusual number of outsiders recently.

“Isn't that the truth? I hear them talking about treasure hunting and Secret Realms, but I don't understand what they're saying. But I see they're not ordinary people; they're those Immortal Cultivators, those Immortals!”

Xiao Feng frequently bought pancakes from this stall, and the vendor had long since become familiar with Xiao Feng, so he couldn't help but chat with him.

“A Secret Realm, huh? No wonder there are so many outsiders. They must all be here to hunt for treasure.” Xiao Feng feigned interest.

Seeing Xiao Feng's reaction, and coincidentally having had a few Cultivators visit his stall for pancakes that morning, praising his pancakes, the vendor had overheard them discussing the Secret Realm while serving them.

“I heard them say this Secret Realm has an entrance, and that entrance is just outside our Fengying City. This Secret Realm is the most recently discovered one, and I don't know who named it Fengying Secret Realm.”

“Can you believe it? It's even named after our city. But I heard that these Immortal Cultivators can flatten an entire city with a single sword strike. I just hope they don't start fighting outside our city.”

“How did a Fengying Secret Realm suddenly appear outside this peaceful city? I wonder if we can still live a quiet life.”

Hearing the pancake stall owner say this, Xiao Feng asked him for more specific details.

He learned that the owner had not lived in Fengying City before, but in another city nearby that also had a Secret Realm.

Their city had become a battlefield because a rare treasure appeared in the Secret Realm, causing a struggle among Cultivators.

Their city was naturally used as a battlefield.

The number of people who escaped the entire city was very few.

Their homes had been destroyed.

That's why the pancake stall owner, after learning that there was also a Secret Realm near their Fengying City, began to wonder whether he should quickly move out of Fengying City.

Xiao Feng remembered what the pancake stall owner had mentioned earlier.

That time, all the Cultivators involved were punished.

Moreover, because they harmed Mortals while snatching treasures, everyone suffered a tenfold or hundredfold backlash.

Most of them had already died; the one or two who survived were barely managing to resolve their sins by consuming various treasures from their Sects.

But whether they died or not, it was only a matter of time.

Xiao Feng comforted the pancake stall owner's anxious heart and then went out to other places to inquire about news.

This territory was, after all, the Ming Cult's territory.

Xiao Feng guessed that the Ming Cult would also send people to the Fengying Secret Realm this time.

He wondered if Wu Hai would specifically send someone to check on how they were living now?

Xiao Feng originally did not intend to enter the Fengying Secret Realm until he heard that the treasure appearing in the Fengying Secret Realm this time would be of great help to Zhao Yuwei's ice-attributed Physique.
