243: I'll make a breakthrough first, and then I'll settle the score with them.

Night fell.

On Netherworld Soul Hall's main peak, Yanluo Peak, the grand hall was brightly lit.

Han Tiezhu, Chen Bingxue, White Little Fly, Granny Wen, and all other core members of the Netherworld Soul Hall were present.

Besides them, a girl in purple robes sat on a nearby chair; she was Purple Linger, who had just arrived from Iron Mountain Market after receiving the news.

Hearing that the Netherworld Soul Hall intended to deal with the forces from Lingzhou, Purple Linger's face was taut, and a faint anxiety flowed through her brows.

It was precisely because she understood and was familiar with the various major forces in Lingzhou that Purple Linger was even more aware of the seriousness of this matter.

If the Netherworld Soul Hall made a move, it would likely not only be useless but would instead thoroughly infuriate the Divine Sword Sect and the Jiang Family.

They could easily dispatch some Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to destroy the Netherworld Soul Hall. After a moment of contemplation, Purple Linger said, "The Divine Sword Sect and the Jiang Family from Lingzhou are not to be trifled with. It's just an Immortal Cave; I think it's better to just let it go."

Han Tiezhu was unwilling and immediately said, "Miss Zi, you probably know the current foundation of our Netherworld Soul Hall. We have all kinds of Medicinal Pills and Spirit Medicine available at any time. We are willing to overdraw ten years of production to ask you to find someone to help us deal with those little bastards. Whether this matter succeeds or fails, I, Han Tiezhu, will never go back on my word!"

As his voice fell, Granny Wen and Chen Bingxue's expressions changed, but they ultimately said nothing.

"Ten years of production? Can your Netherworld Soul Hall stably produce Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pills for ten years?"

Just then, a powerful voice suddenly came from the entrance of the grand hall.

Looking towards the sound, they saw a thin, scholarly-looking young man with a small wooden box on his back standing at the entrance of the grand hall.

"Who is this person?"

Blood Blade Old Man, Chen Bingxue, and others immediately frowned. They had never seen this young man, but Han Tiezhu's eyes showed joy.

"You're finally back! If you didn't come back, the sky would have fallen!"

Han Tiezhu excitedly rushed towards the entrance, first hugging Qin Feng tightly, then looking around here and there.

"Deputy Hall Master, who is this person?"

"This is your Hall Master."

"We greet the Hall Master!"

When they confirmed that this person was Wang Teng, the Hall Master of the Netherworld Soul Hall, everyone present stood up and bowed, except for Han Tiezhu. To this day, they still didn't know that Wang Teng's identity was also fake...

Purple Linger also stood up, but she did not bow, merely curiously sizing up the person in front of her.

Now she was even more certain that this Hall Master of the Netherworld Soul Hall bore some resemblance to that interesting young man from Qinghe Ward, though she had no proof.

Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand at everyone, then said, "Everyone has worked hard. It's so late, and you're still worrying about the Netherworld Soul Hall's affairs?"

"..."

Everyone discussed animatedly, while Han Tiezhu awkwardly said, "Hall Master, your home is about to be gone!"

"Your home is about to be gone."

Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Han Tiezhu, feigning nonchalance as he walked towards the inner part of the grand hall, a purple light flashing in his pupils when no one was paying attention.

In a brief moment, Qin Feng's Divine Sense spread out for hundreds of miles, clearly seeing the current situation of Wo Niu Mountain.

At this moment.

A surge of Evil Qi suddenly erupted from Qin Feng!

Leaving aside other matters, there was still the Beast King Tree that he helped the West Sea Dragon Palace cultivate on Wo Niu Mountain. If those people were now causing trouble on Wo Niu Mountain and something happened to the items, wouldn't that be taking his life?

Qin Feng sat on a chair and asked Han Tiezhu, "What's the background of those people?"

"Those Formations were set up by the Divine Sword Sect from Lingzhou, and there's also a group of people from the Jiang Family in Lingzhou. I sent people to investigate, and the Jiang Family also holds a significant position in Lingzhou.

However, if you hadn't come back, I was planning to ask Miss Zi to help us find people to deal with them."

Han Tiezhu's tone carried a hint of rebelliousness, while Qin Feng rolled his eyes at him.

If he hadn't returned, Purple Linger would probably have been tricked by him. Without his Spiritual Plant Liquid synthesis, the Netherworld Soul Hall would simply be unable to rapidly cultivate so much Spirit Medicine to repay the debt.

However, now he was back.

Whether it was the Jiang Family or the Divine Sword Sect, they would have to pay the price!

The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive.

Most of the people present were at the Core Formation Stage cultivation, and they could all sense that Qin Feng's strength had broken through to the Core Formation Stage Great Perfection Realm.

Although he was very strong, he was still far inferior compared to the Divine Sword Sect and the Jiang Family. Chen Bingxue couldn't help but ask, "Hall Master, what should we do now?"

"Don't rush for now. I can handle this matter."

Qin Feng said lightly, then began to inquire about the recent situation of the Netherworld Soul Hall.

The various mountain peaks were still cultivating Spirit Medicine, but the amount of Human Rank Spiritual Plant Liquid was not much. Besides that, the earth-grade spirit feeding powder for raising Seven-Colored Brocade Fish was almost gone, and those Spirit Fish's appetite was constantly increasing as their size grew.

The Medicinal Pills produced by the Alchemists were barely enough, and overall, everything was balanced in terms of income and expenditure. Only Spiritual Plant Liquid and spirit feeding powder were in short supply, as the Alchemists and spiritual plant masters of the Netherworld Soul Hall were not yet able to refine such high-grade items.

After understanding the situation of the Netherworld Soul Hall, Qin Feng then led Han Tiezhu leisurely out.

Seeing that the Netherworld Soul Hall was fine, Purple Linger bid farewell to Qin Feng and returned directly to Iron Mountain Market.

Under the night sky.

Qin Feng and Han Tiezhu walked side by side, each recounting their experiences and what they had seen and heard during this period.

Since the establishment of the Netherworld Soul Hall, Han Tiezhu's cultivation had stagnated significantly, clearly because managing the Sect consumed a great deal of his energy, and Qin Feng saw all of this.

When he learned that Qin Feng had joined the Li Huo Immortal Sect, Han Tiezhu's eyes immediately showed a shocked expression:

"Feng Ge, you're too awesome! Lingzhou is already luxurious enough for us country bumpkins, but I never thought you'd even manage to get the identity of an Immortal Sect Disciple!"

Although Han Tiezhu had always stayed in this area, he had still heard of the Five Great Immortal Sects in Lingzhou and knew the difference between the Five Great Immortal Sects and third-rate Sects like the Divine Sword Sect.

After his excitement, Han Tiezhu said with an excited face, "Feng Ge, since we're so awesome now, what are we hesitating for? Let's just go deal with them!"

"I'll have a Breakthrough first, and then I'll settle accounts with them."

"Breakthrough?"

"Yes, you be my Protector. Find a place with good Feng Shui."

As his voice fell, Qin Feng had already taken out the Thousand Mile Shuttle and stood on it. Han Tiezhu was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to react, then he followed and stood on it.

At this moment, Han Tiezhu felt his mind was in a mess.

How long had it been since Feng Ge had a Core Formation Breakthrough, and he was going to have another Breakthrough? Was the Nascent Soul Stage that easy to Breakthrough?

While Han Tiezhu was still in a daze, Qin Feng had already driven the Thousand Mile Shuttle to a large mountain several thousand miles away.

Walking south from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect's location was the Jin Kingdom. The further south one went, the more remote it became. This kind of place made it difficult for other Cultivators to disturb a Breakthrough.

This time, Qin Feng chose a low but massive mountain peak. This kind of place had a wide terrain, where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi easily gathered, and most importantly, it was suitable for dodging Lightning Tribulation!

Having the Nether Yellow Springs Body allowed him to find the flaws in all things in Heaven and Earth. Qin Feng intended to try and see if he could find the flaws in the Lightning Tribulation, so he didn't waste time buying a lightning shield.

Even if he couldn't find the flaws, it didn't matter. At worst, he would just endure the Lightning Tribulation...

Qin Feng stood on the mountain peak, surveying the surrounding terrain. Han Tiezhu still felt a warmth in his head and couldn't help but ask Qin Feng,

"Feng Ge, are you serious?"
