Chapter 115: Formidable Enemy Incoming

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Formidable Enemy Incoming

The next day, Duan Henxi, already with injuries, rushed into Feng Wuchen’s room. He set down the meteoric iron and asked Feng Wuchen to help him refine a Spiritual Artifact, all the while inquiring about cultivating with a Supreme Physique!

Moreover, he was straightforward about it, even using the excuse that Feng Wuchen had injured him. His skin was thicker than city walls.

How was this any different from robbery?

When it came to Artifact Refining, Feng Wuchen had agreed under the circumstances of being “threatened,” and naturally, he would not refuse.

As for the matter of the Supreme Physique, even if Feng Wuchen wanted to refuse, it would be futile.

If worst came to worst, Duan Henxi could simply return to the Empire and ask the Great General for it, or easily acquire it from any Sky Shadow cavalry or a soldier from the Black Flag Army.

...

Duan Henxi truly didn’t believe that with his identity as the young prince, the Great General or the soldiers would dare to refuse him.

However, Feng Wuchen did not refuse.

A mere Spiritual Artifact, the first layer of the Supreme Physique was nothing to him; he didn’t take it seriously at all.

Allowing Duan Henxi to owe him a favor might not be so bad.

In less than two minutes, Duan Henxi was stunned in Feng Wuchen’s room, witnessing a miraculous scene he would never forget in his lifetime.

“No wonder the prince would take you as his master!” It wasn’t until after Feng Wuchen had left the room that Duan Henxi managed to utter these words.

Duan Henxi had long heard of the divine skill Thought-Forming Instrumentation but had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that he had finally witnessed it, his soul was about to fly away.

Duan Henxi finally understood why Situ Zhentian would take Feng Wuchen as his master. It would be foolish not to take such a terrifying Artifact Refiner as a master!

Feng Wuchen concealed his aura, and nobody in the academy knew that he had broken through to the Second Layer of the Yuandan Realm.

“Big brother Feng, the Blood Jade Bodhi isn’t bad, right?” As soon as he came out, Ling Xiaoxiao was the first to run over with a smile, affectionately taking Feng Wuchen’s arm as she asked.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen replied with a wry smile, “I can’t hide anything from you.”

Even though Feng Wuchen hid it well, he couldn’t keep it a secret from Ling Xiaoxiao; it was as if she possessed the divine skill to see through everything.

The two of them walked affectionately toward the great hall, while the eyes of many male students were filled with towering murderous intent, as if they wanted to kill Feng Wuchen and take Ling Xiaoxiao away for themselves.

If looks could kill, Feng Wuchen would have died countless times over.

After greeting Xing Tianfeng and Zhenyuntian, the four of them left the academy.

Being a nominal member meant Feng Wuchen could come and go as he pleased.

The status of a nominal member once again made the students of the academy extremely envious and jealous.

Feng Wuchen was in such a hurry to return because he was worried about the Huangfu family.

Even though the State Preceptor had given orders, it could at most hold off the Huangfu family on the surface. They wouldn’t strike openly, but what they did in the dark was unknown.

If the Huangfu family did make a move in secret, without evidence, even the Empire might be helpless against them, because the Tianyun Sect was not to be trifled with.

It’s better to be cautious.

“Sword Flight? A flying martial skill!” Atop a mountain peak, a man who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes with a sense of detection, looking toward the sky. But at that glance, his face immediately showed a look of shock.

“Feng Wuchen can actually emit True Yuan for Sword Flight! It’s something that only those in the Tianyuan Realm can achieve, yet he’s done it.” The man was horrified, and his eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent.

“A killing intent!” In the high skies, Feng Wuchen suddenly frowned, stopped flying, and directed his gaze toward the source of the killing intent.

“Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm!” Ling Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she saw through the cultivation level of the man on the mountain peak.

“Big brother Feng, do you know him?” Liu Qingyang asked.

“I don’t know him, I’ve never seen him before,” Feng Wuchen shook his head.

Looking solemnly at the man on the peak, Feng Wuchen could feel the intense killing intent in the man’s eyes, which was very cold and very terrifying.

“Who are you?” Feng Wuchen asked.

The man said coldly, “Your enemy!”

“I’m asking for your name!” Liu Qingyang rebuked, fiercely glaring at the man.

“Whoosh!”

But the man’s response was a terrifying green energy beam that shot into the sky, aiming directly at Feng Wuchen with a loud sonic boom.

“Tianyun Finger!” Feng Wuchen’s eyebrows knitted, he quickly dodged, and his eyes instantly turned cold, saying sternly, “You are a disciple of the Tianyun Sect!”

“The Tianyun Sect?” Miao Qingqing was slightly shocked, and said, “Big brother Feng, the Tianyun Sect has still intervened!”

Feng Wuchen’s expression darkened, and after giving the man a cold glance, he said, “Let’s go, back to the Feng family.”

The man was too strong, far surpassing the strength of an ordinary Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm; even if Feng Wuchen and his three companions joined hands, they could not defeat him.

If they hadn’t used Sword Flight, Feng Wuchen and his companions would have probably been slain by that man.

The appearance of the mysterious man made Feng Wuchen even more worried about the safety of the Feng family.

If the Tianyun Sect made a move, with the Feng family’s strength, it would undoubtedly be like throwing an egg against a rock.

“Feng Wuchen! I will come to find you,” the man coldly shouted, his fierce killing intent surging violently. He was extremely unwilling to just watch Feng Wuchen and the others escape.

After speaking, the man’s figure shook and disappeared, indicating he intended to pursue Feng Wuchen.

“Brother Feng, this person is very strong,” Ling Xiaoxiao frowned, able to feel it just from the man’s aura.

“Tianyun Sect has numerous talented disciples, and since he is a disciple of Tianyun Sect, his strength must be considerable,” Feng Wuchen nodded in agreement, but he just didn’t know who it was.

“Tianyun Sect, after all, you have intervened!” Feng Wuchen thought coldly, his eyes flashing with a brutal killing intent.

Glancing at Feng Wuchen, Ling Xiaoxiao could feel his murderous aura and her pretty face turned icy, silently thinking, “Tianyun Sect, you better not push people too far.”

Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing dared not speak, terror-stricken by Feng Wuchen’s lethal aura.

Feng Wuchen’s group of four hurried back to the Feng family and directly rushed into Unmatched City, descending from the sky.

Those unaware would have thought it was a Tianyuan Realm powerhouse!

“Third Young Master?” The guard was slightly startled, then hurriedly rushed over, anxiously saying, “Third Young Master, you’ve returned. Our Feng family has a strange person shouting to find the Third Young Master.”

“A strange person? Who?” Feng Wuchen asked, frowning.

“Could it be from Tianyun Sect?” Liu Qingyang worriedly said.

“We don’t know either, he arrived yesterday, named Zhang Junlan,” that guard reported.

“Zhang Junlan?” Feng Wuchen, Liu Qingyang, and Miao Qingqing were all taken aback at the same time, instantly thinking of that Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner they met in the valley—Zhang Junlan!

Liu Qingyang heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Phew! So it’s him. I thought it was Tianyun Sect.”

On the side, Miao Qingqing chuckled and said, “Big Brother Feng, it seems you can’t escape now, he probably knows about your identity too.”

Thinking of Zhang Junlan, Feng Wuchen felt a headache coming on, having thought he could send him away, only for him to find the Feng family some months later.

“Third Young Master, you know him?” The guard asked, astonished.

“Let’s go,” Feng Wuchen said, shaking his head helplessly.

“Family Head, the Third Young Master has returned!” Another guard had already run into the courtyard shouting.

“Third Young Master? Isn’t that Feng Wuchen? This stinking brat has finally come back!” In the hall, upon hearing this, Zhang Junlan immediately jumped up and rushed out.

“Feng Wuchen! You stinking brat, how dare you deceive me!” Zhang Junlan roared, his powerful True Yuan surging as he threw a punch directly at Feng Wuchen.

“Transformative Realm Ninth Level!” Liu Qingyang exclaimed in shock. In just a few months of not seeing him, Zhang Junlan had advanced by three layers of cultivation!

“Bang!”

Facing Zhang Junlan’s attack, Feng Wuchen’s palm shaped into a claw, and with a muffled bang, he caught it effortlessly.

“His strength surpasses mine! This is definitely the power of the Yuandan Realm!” Zhang Junlan frowned and secretly marveled at the astonishing increase in Feng Wuchen’s cultivation.

“Zhang Junlan, don’t get agitated,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently, slowly releasing his hand.

“Chen Er, why are you fighting?” At that moment, Feng Zhengxiong and Xiao Qingqing had already rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Zhang Junlan smiled and said, “Uncle Feng, I was just testing Feng Wuchen’s strength, it’s nothing serious.”

But when Zhang Junlan’s gaze fell on Feng Wuchen again, it suddenly turned ferocious, and he scolded, “Feng Wuchen! You’ve deceived me so badly. I’ve been searching for you in Yunzhou for months, cultivating and searching at the same time, wasting so much of my time, otherwise, I would have broken through to the Yuandan Realm by now! Hurry up and compete with me in artifact refining!”

“Artifact refining?” Feng Zhengxiong and others looked at Zhang Junlan in surprise.

They really couldn’t tell where Zhang Junlan looked like an Artifact Refiner, let alone see where he got the courage to challenge the famous Master Feng of Yunzhou!

“Of course! Uncle Feng, he deceived me by saying Master Feng was in Yunzhou’s Tiandu. I searched the whole Yunzhou and didn’t find him, then later found out that Master Feng had come to Tianzhou, and only upon arriving in Tianzhou did I understand that Master Feng is Feng Wuchen,” Zhang Junlan said in a tone of grievance.

Ling Xiaoxiao and Miao Qingqing on the side were all chuckling in secret.

“…” Feng Wuchen instantly had a headache, then helplessly said, “Brother Zhang, I was compelled to do that at the time.”

“Enough talk, compete with me in artifact refining right now! Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” Zhang Junlan scolded.

“Bang bang!”

“Ahh!”

Just then, two of the Feng family’s gatekeeping guards suddenly flew in, vomiting blood and crashing to the ground, severely wounded.

The Feng family’s people were immediately startled.

“Such cold killing intent! Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm!” Feng Zhengxiong frowned, his face looking very unpleasant.

A Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm powerhouse was an unbeatable foe for the Feng family.

“Trouble is coming,” Feng Qianyang said with concern.

“Feng Wuchen! I said I would come to find you,” a chilling voice came from outside, each word filled with icy murderous intent.

“That voice is… Big Brother Feng, it’s that disciple of Tianyun Sect we saw earlier!” Liu Qingyang’s face turned pale.

“What? Tianyun Sect?” The Feng family was terrified, the three words ‘Tianyun Sect’ frightening them out of their wits.

“Tianyun Sect? Are they strong?” Seeing the terror in Feng Zhengxiong and the others, Zhang Junlan asked in confusion.

“They came so quickly, worthy of being a Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm,” Feng Wuchen said coldly, turning to look towards the gate.

A man dressed in black silk robes walked in, the dreadful killing aura emanating from him, and he was indeed the disciple from Tianyun Sect they had seen before on the mountaintop.
