Chapter 265 - 191: Capital City Divine Catcher

After finishing his business with Tian Yun, Zou Feng knew he couldn’t stay in the camp for long. He wasted no time in performing the "Wise Triple" on the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group.

After a short rest, he immediately set up a Poison Domain around the camp.

Of course, he had to leave a hidden entrance and exit.

Although the Poison Domain wouldn’t last long without his continuous application of poison, the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group in the camp weren’t just for show.

These young Poison Cultivators could all be considered to have received the legacy of his Poison Skill.

Even though it was only a small part of his legacy and they lacked refinement, what they lacked in quality, they could make up for in quantity.

With over forty people casting their Poison Skills together, it wouldn’t be a problem to at least maintain the Poison Domain’s basic operation.

And as the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group took responsibility for maintaining the Poison Domain each day, it was as if they had gained access to an exceptionally effective, special Practice Room.

For these Poison Cultivators who had received his legacy, cultivating within the Poison Domain personally established by Zou Feng was like a fish taking to water.

With the Poison Domain, plus the two Gang Qi Realm experts, Bian Yixia and Tian Yun, holding down the fort, the camp’s safety was basically guaranteed, as long as no High Grade experts showed up.

Once he contacted Teng County of Biyou Palace and opened up the path from Qifeng Mountain to the Southern Border, the entire Hongxing Gang would be able to escape.

That’s right. After much consideration, Zou Feng had decided to go meet with Teng County in person again.

He was extremely interested in the three of the Five Poison Creatures raised by Biyou Palace on Qifeng Mountain that he had yet to encounter.

Collecting all Five Poison Creatures concocted by Biyou Palace was definitely the most convenient way to advance his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill to the realm of Extraordinary to Saint in a short time.

After all, the Five Poison Palm he had obtained back then originated from Biyou Palace’s Five Poison Skill.

Zou Feng already had a faint premonition. ’Advancing to the Fourth Grade and so on... that should be in the bag within a short time.’

’But getting the Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill to the realm of Extraordinary to Saint is far more difficult than advancing to the Fourth Grade.’

’Just look at Yuwen Boxi. Although that guy wasn’t among the top tier of Fourth Grade experts, he was at least in the upper-middle ranks.’

’Yet even an upper-middle rank expert like him only had one Cultivation Skill at the Peak of Perfection...’

’So one could only imagine how difficult it is to get a Cultivation Skill to the realm of Extraordinary to Saint while still at the Fourth Grade.’

Before leaving, Zou Feng didn’t forget to let Bian Yixia also experience the wondrous effects of the "Wise Triple."

After experiencing this miraculous move, Bian Yixia finally understood why Tian Yun had managed to break through to the Fifth Grade before she did.

It was simply too miraculous, almost like the poetic blessing of an immortal’s touch granting eternal life.

’If Zou Feng reaches a High Grade, or even the legendary Realm of Shattered Void, how exaggerated would the effects be then?’

’Right now, I wish I could be just like Tian Yun and stay by his side every day. Proximity breeds opportunity, after all. I could get a dose of this every day.’

However, the moment this thought arose, Bian Yixia’s expression changed drastically, and she shook her head forcefully.

"Zou Feng, thank you, but from now on, you don’t need to help me with this method anymore!" Bian Yixia’s eyes were extremely resolute as she spoke.

’After all, this isn’t the path I should be walking...’

’After I seized Deng Guangxin’s plans, my Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill is nearing perfection. My path to a High Grade should already be smooth, so why do something so superfluous?’p>

’On the contrary, developing this kind of dependency would only hold me back.’

Just by looking into Bian Yixia’s eyes, Zou Feng could roughly guess her thoughts.

Everyone has their own "path," and he certainly wouldn’t object to hers.

With that, Zou Feng finished arranging all the affairs in the camp and departed without further delay.

Although he had decided to go see Teng County again, Zou Feng wouldn’t be idle along the way.

His promotion to the Fourth Grade was imminent, and that was certainly his top priority.

At the same time, he had to guard against assassins who could appear at any moment.

After all, even if the prodigies and experts within those Major Sects couldn’t pinpoint his exact location, they surely had ways to deduce his general whereabouts. He absolutely could not be careless.

’Still, I’ll be cultivating like a madman during this time, pushing the intensity to the max.’

’Quite a few of those big shots on the list trying to hunt me down should contract a "strange illness" on their way here.’

’Forcing them to turn tail and head home in disgrace...’

「Two days later.」

On the edge of a swamp in Qifeng Mountain, Kang Shixiang, an Elder of the Xuanhuang Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, stood proudly atop a boulder with his hands clasped behind his back. He gazed at the poison-filled swamp not far away, his expression slightly vexed.

The reason he had returned to Qifeng Mountain was, naturally, that Kang Shixiang still wanted to personally avenge the Yuwen Father and Son for this blood feud.

Of course, while his eagerness for revenge was genuine, he also coveted the handsome rewards of the Demon Slaying Order.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to return to the Xuanhuang Sect first and persuade the Sect Leader to issue a Demon Slaying Order for Zou Feng.

It was worth mentioning that the major sects of the Central Plains Region had formed what was essentially a Righteous Alliance.

The Sect Leader of any member sect had the right to issue a Demon Slaying Order, and as long as the order was justified, the other sects had to acknowledge and enforce it.

In other words, all sects within this Righteous Alliance were required to contribute a portion of the reward.

Once someone completed the task on the Demon Slaying Order, every sect had to offer up a substantial reward.

All the sects kept an eye on one another, so trying to be perfunctory with the rewards was not only against the rules, but it would also be a great loss of face.
