75: Get the news

The golden light seemed to contain many things, and the Earth Spirit Ape’s face immediately showed an excited expression.

He immediately said, “Revered Master, I will Cultivate, I will definitely Cultivate well!”

“Please, Revered Master, let me go down the mountain. If one day I become a demon king and have had my fill of freedom, I will definitely return to Revered Master’s side and sacrifice myself for Revered Master!”

After saying this, the Earth Spirit Ape immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Qin Feng with a sincere attitude.

At this moment, he was no longer the Earth Spirit Ape who only watered Spirit Medicine and weeded the medicine field. Now, his movements were very fluid and standard. Aside from his pointed mouth, monkey-like cheeks, and yellow fur, he was no different from a human, and he harbored great ambition in his heart.

Seeing how spiritual the Earth Spirit Ape was now, Tie Zhu immediately sent a message to remind Qin Feng, hinting that he should not easily let him go down the mountain.

If he was let go now, it would probably be difficult for him to return later.

Qin Feng kept pondering the Karma. He had encountered this little monkey when he first entered the Immortal Dao in Qinghe Ward. Later, the discarded Divine Pills he left behind allowed them to gain sentience and become Spirit Beasts.

After bringing him to Wo Niu Mountain, besides weeding and watering medicinal herbs daily, he was fed Advanced Spirit Beast Divine Pills every day and was never mistreated!

At this time, passing on a Cultivation Technique and letting him go down the mountain might not be a bad deed. Moreover, there was still a Revered Master-servant contract between the two…

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feng decided to fulfill his wish and said:

“I can let you go down the mountain with the Cultivation Technique, but you have to agree to one condition.”

The Earth Spirit Ape’s eyes showed excitement, and he clasped his hands together, bowing repeatedly, and said with utmost respect:

“Revered Master, please speak!”

“If you cause trouble in the future, just don’t mention your Revered Master.”

“Revered Master, rest assured, I will definitely not cause you any trouble!”

Hearing this, the Earth Spirit Ape trembled with excitement, knelt before Qin Feng, and kowtowed a few more times with loud thumps, then got up and walked down Wo Niu Mountain.

Qin Feng stood rooted to the spot, silently watching him leave, feeling a faint sense of excitement in his heart.

Just then, Tie Zhu walked over with a resentful expression.

“Feng Ge, this monkey is more spiritual than many third-tier Spirit Beasts. Are you really willing to let him go?”

“Do you understand the meaning of ‘meeting at the Peak’?”

“…”

Tie Zhu rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Meeting at the Peak simply meant meeting again at the Peak of one’s power, and letting him venture out on his own was better than painstakingly nurturing him.

The mountain top was lush with vegetation.

Qin Feng controlled his Flying Sword to cut all of it at the root, then cast several Fire Spells in succession to burn the gathered weeds clean before he was done.

Dispersing the mist within the Hiding from the Heavens Formation, the outside environment could be clearly seen from within.

It was spring now, the season of revival.

The vegetation on the surrounding mountain tops had sprouted tender buds, and the Dingxiang Mountain outside, after the mist array was removed, also revealed its original appearance.

The small courtyard and houses on the mountain had long been destroyed, now overgrown with weeds, showing a desolate scene.

“I wonder what the situation is like outside.”

Tie Zhu said with a melancholic expression as he looked at the situation outside, and Qin Feng also felt somewhat helpless.

During this period, the Chang Sheng Sword Sect’s Sect token had vibrated three times in total, all calling him back to the Sect. Besides that, there was no other movement.

He still hadn’t fulfilled his promise to Ge Goudan to bury his father and daughter together. Now, going out, he was worried about Chen Jiuyou, Li Qingyun, and others, making him hesitant either way.

The two of them just sat on the stone slab at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, aimlessly looking at the surrounding scenery.

It wasn’t until night fell that Tie Zhu spoke:

“Feng Ge, I plan to go back to Zhou Country to see my parents. They must be worried since I haven’t seen them for so long.”

“Be careful with everything. I also need to go out and wander around.”

Qin Feng patted Tie Zhu’s shoulder. The two looked at each other, and a bitter expression appeared in their eyes.

Although Cultivating while holed up here was very safe, sometimes they had no choice but to go out and handle some matters.

After reaching a consensus, both of them tacitly took out black robes from their storage rings and put them on, then each controlled their flying Magical Artifacts and left Wo Niu Mountain.

Qin Feng, dressed in a black robe and circulating the Dao One Art, controlled the Wood Spirit Boat and flew towards the Chang Sheng Sword Sect.

Wo Niu Mountain was about five hundred li from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect. Soon, Qin Feng arrived near the Chang Sheng Sword Sect.

In the dark night.

The buildings inside the Chang Sheng Sword Sect were still brightly lit, and within the Sect’s range, many Chang Sheng Sword Sect Disciples in white robes could be seen hurrying on their way.

It seemed that the Chang Sheng Sword Sect had recruited many new Disciples during this time, but he wondered if what happened before would repeat itself.

Qin Feng took a hasty glance, then put away the Wood Spirit Boat and quickly moved through the dense forest, heading towards Fifth Senior Sister’s grave.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, even without using a Shen Xing Talisman, one could travel a thousand li in a day. Qin Feng moved quickly along the mountain path. Just as he was about to reach Fifth Senior Sister’s grave, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting ahead.

Walking forward, he could see three people fighting in the open space ahead.

One of the young men was wearing the uniform of an Outer Sect Disciple of the Chang Sheng Sword Sect, and his strength was roughly at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Stage.

The two Loose Cultivators attacking him were also not weak; one was at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, and the other was at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

Qin Feng took out his Ben Lei Flying Sword and threw it into the air, then controlled the Flying Sword with his Divine Soul to join the battle, striking at one of the Loose Cultivators.

With fierce spiritual power and a surprise attack, the Ben Lei Flying Sword instantly pierced through the golden shield on one Loose Cultivator, directly creating a blood hole in his chest.

Seeing this scene.

The remaining Loose Cultivator’s face turned dark, and he became flustered, unable to even control his Flying Sword steadily. He could only hastily take out a Talisman and throw it at Qin Feng, then turned and fled.

Without powerful Magic Treasures and Talismans, how could a fifth-level Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator be an opponent for a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator?

Moreover, it was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator as powerful as Qin Feng. The moment he turned, he was pierced through by the Ben Lei Flying Sword.

Less than three breaths from the start of the attack, the battle was completely over!

The young Chang Sheng Sword Sect Cultivator who survived showed great joy and immediately cupped his hands to Qin Feng in thanks:

“Many thanks, Senior, for your assistance!”

Qin Feng changed his voice to Wang Teng’s voice, then asked:

“Which Peak are you from?”

“Replying to Senior, this Junior is from Shen Dan Peak of the Chang Sheng Sword Sect. Today, I came out to gather medicine and didn’t expect to be targeted by villains. Fortunately, I received Senior’s help!”

“Who is the current Peak Revered Master of Shen Dan Peak?”

“The Peak Revered Master is my Revered Master, Chen Kun.”

“Besides that, are there any other Elders?”

“Shen Dan Peak was just established not long ago and does not yet have suitable Elder candidates.”

Just established not long ago?

No suitable candidates yet?

Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly felt a surge of lingering fear.

Although the entire Sect was sacrificed in the battle with the Ghost King Sect that day, Shen Dan Peak was an exception!

Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother were both left in the Sect, but now there was no news of them. Clearly, they were dealt with by Chen Jiuyou, Li Qingyun, and others, to the extent that Shen Dan Peak now had to rely on Grand Elder Chen Kun himself to hold the fort…

Seeing the black-robed person in front of him not speaking, the young Cultivator asked again:

“Does Senior know my Revered Master? Then this Junior is truly delighted!

If Senior doesn’t mind, I will take you to Shen Dan Peak right now. My Revered Master’s sixtieth birthday is approaching, and he is hosting guests from all directions these two days. He will be very happy if you can go!”

“You are happy too soon.”
