Jiang Wang felt a chill run down his spine, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes. "Who... exactly are you?"

He vaguely sensed that this person's background must be quite extraordinary.

"My name is Zifeng, and I come from Zifu Academy in Canglan County!"

Zi Feng remained calm, but her words were like a bomb exploding, causing a huge uproar in Jiang Wang's mind, from which he could not calm down for a long time.

Canglan County Zifu Academy?

Canglan County was located on the outskirts of the Western Zhou capital!

Jiang Wang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He looked up at Zi Feng and said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? How could the Zi Fu Academy in Canglan County possibly have produced such a prodigy as you?"

Although Zifu Academy is not considered top-tier in the Western Zhou capital, it can still be considered a first-tier academy.

How could such a heaven-defying being as Zi Feng be born here?

Upon hearing this, Zi Feng laughed and teased, "The Zi Fu Academy you mentioned is just a branch of mine in the Western Zhou Dynasty, while I am a core disciple of the Canglan Academy."

Zi Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it contained a hint of arrogance.

"What? A core disciple?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? Canglan Academy is just a border branch, how could it possess a prodigy like you?"

Canglan Academy was merely a small border state of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was only a second-level cultivation academy.

Students from such a school are not qualified to enter any sect of the Canglan Dynasty.

After all, those sects value talent, potential, and comprehension when accepting disciples.

For small, remote countries like Canglan Academy, finding suitable candidates is extremely difficult.

Therefore, Canglan Academy admits very few students each year.

Moreover, as far as Jiang Wang knew, Canglan Academy would eliminate a batch of freshmen every once in a while, and these freshmen would usually become servants or guards of certain families.

How could such a prestigious academy produce such a prodigy?

"What, you don't believe me?" Zi Feng smiled calmly, then waved his sleeve.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a spirit-grade longsword appeared out of thin air, hovering in the air and emitting a cold, sharp aura.

"A magical artifact?" Upon seeing this, Jiang Wang's face turned even paler, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Above physical weapons are spiritual weapons, and the higher the grade of a spiritual weapon, the more precious it is.

Spirit weapons can be considered the pinnacle of spiritual artifacts.

Aside from the royal family, only the Canglan Dynasty's palace possesses a spiritual weapon.

Unfortunately, this is a damaged spiritual weapon, and even if it were taken to an auction house, it would only fetch 30,000 to 50,000 spirit stones.

This shows how valuable a magical weapon is.

"What? Do you believe me now?" Zi Feng glanced at Jiang Wang indifferently and asked.

"Yes, I believe you." Jiang Wang swallowed, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

What he had just witnessed terrified him.

He never expected that the young man in the blue robe in front of him would actually possess a spiritual weapon.

If he had known the other party possessed a spiritual weapon, he wouldn't have dared to make a move even if he were beaten to death!

"Since you believe me, then tell me why you are hunting down my sister?"

Zi Feng's expression hardened slightly as he continued to ask, his tone somewhat sinister.

Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and finally confessed the truth: "Your sister is stunningly beautiful and has now reached the Innate Realm. If she is allowed to grow up, she may pose a threat to me in the future. Therefore, I specially asked my brother to go to Nanshan Ridge to capture her."

"I see," Zi Feng said, suddenly understanding.

Jiang Wang's elder brother is named Jiang Zheng. He is a genuine Qi Gathering Level 8 martial artist and ranks ninth among the many direct descendants of the Jiang family. He is quite authoritative.

Last night, Jiang Wang's brother, Jiang Zheng, suddenly arrived in Canglan County and captured Jiang Rou with lightning speed.

Jiang Wang came to Canglan County City entirely on orders.

What surprised him was that Jiang Wang was clearly a good-for-nothing, so why was he valued by the Jiang family, the number one family in the Canglan Dynasty?

Jiang Wang is just a girl.

However, he can't care about that now.

He was willing to pay any price to escape danger.

"Since that's the case, then I won't make things difficult for you." Zi Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Don't worry, I will help you recover from your injuries."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang's eyes widened, staring at Zi Feng with a bewildered expression.

Shouldn't this kid be killing him? Why is he helping him?

Before Jiang Wang could think it through, he suddenly felt a warm liquid welling up inside him, making him feel extremely comfortable.

And nourished by these warm currents, his injuries are recovering rapidly.

In just a few breaths, most of the wounds on his chest disappeared, and even his bones were remodeled. His injuries were almost 70-80% healed.

"This..." Jiang Wang was dumbfounded upon experiencing this change.

Is this situation even better than the effect of elixirs?

"Hehe!" Looking at the stunned Jiang Wang, Zi Feng shook his head. "You should be glad you met me, otherwise, you would have been annihilated long ago."

After saying that, Zi Feng ignored Jiang Wang and left the room.

Under Jiang Wang's shocked gaze, Zi Feng strode away from the side hall.

Jiang Wang stood there blankly for a long time before a deep look of regret appeared on his face.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have dared to assassinate Jiang Rou even if he had a hundred times the courage!

Now, things have turned out badly; his attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he ended up losing his own life.

Boom!

Just as Jiang Wang was filled with regret, a violent whooshing sound suddenly came from the distant void.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming aura pressed down, causing Jiang Wang to involuntarily prostrate himself on the ground, trembling.

Pfft!

In a mere instant, Jiang Wang's flesh and blood shattered, his entire torso turned into a puddle of mud, and he perished completely.

At the same time, a house several dozen feet away suddenly exploded and shattered into pieces.

call out!

The next moment, a figure slowly walked in.

This man was none other than Jiang Zheng, the son of the Prefect of Canglan!

Jiang was dressed in magnificent attire, with an imposing presence and an exceptional aura.

He glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, raised an eyebrow, and then walked towards Jiang Wang. "You guys are pretty quick!"

"He's really dead?"

"Hiss! This... Jiang Wang was a martial artist at the peak of the sixth level of Body Tempering, and he was killed just like that?"

"Who exactly is that boy in black? How could he defeat a martial artist at the seventh level of Body Tempering? Could he be a martial apprentice at the Innate Realm? Or perhaps a martial artist at the Spirit Martial Realm?"

"No matter which one it is, this time Canglan County will be engulfed in a raging storm."

"Yes! Although Jiang Wang is only a seventh-level Body Tempering Martial Master, his background is extremely profound. His death will surely cause a huge uproar."

……………

One after another, murmurs rose up, and the martial artists looked at Zi Feng with awe.

"Huh?" However, when everyone's eyes fell on the knife in Zi Feng's hand, they all trembled.
