The next day, early morning.
Xiao Feng was still resting upstairs when a scream came from downstairs, making him think something had happened at the tavern. He leaped down from the building.
He glanced around and saw only a woman staring angrily at Xiao Feng, as if she regarded him as an enemy.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng had a vague sense of foreboding, and his spiritual energy quietly began to circulate within him.
Since he had examined the woman's body yesterday and knew that she was not particularly powerful, he dared not unleash the Mountain and River Sword.
Once the Mountain and River Sword appears around him, his strength will inevitably be fully revealed.
Sure enough, when the woman saw Xiao Feng appear in front of her, she immediately rushed towards him, as if she wanted to kill him.
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance. He swiftly moved to the side, glaring at her with anger: "I healed your injuries, and you want to kill me?"
The woman held a long sword and pointed it at Xiao Feng: "You actually took off my clothes! I will definitely kill you, you lecherous scoundrel."
He hadn't known why the woman wanted to kill him, but now he finally understood and quickly said to her, "It's all a misunderstanding."
Before he could explain, the woman's longsword was already beside his head, as if she wanted to chop it off.
Xiao Feng channeled all his spiritual energy into his feet, and his body vanished into thin air, reappearing on the second floor with an indifferent expression.
“I had someone change your clothes. If you still don’t believe me, I can let that person in to explain things to you.”
When the woman heard that Xiao Feng had found other people to help her change her clothes, she was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
In just ten breaths, she took a money pouch from her clothes and placed it on the table: "What happened just now was my fault, I apologize to you."
Xiao Feng glanced at the money pouch on the table, then suddenly stepped in front of her, saying, "It took me a lot of effort to save you, and you're only giving me this little bit of money? It's not worth it, is it?"
The woman thought she had enough money in her purse, but no one expected that Xiao Feng didn't care about the money at all.
The woman glanced at him and said, "This money is enough to buy all the wine in your shop, yet it's not enough for the treatment?"
Xiao Feng noticed the woman's gaze fixed on him and pointed to the smashed tables and chairs beside him: "That would have been enough, but look at these tables and chairs."
Only then did she understand why Xiao Feng was unwilling to let her leave. Her face was full of embarrassment as she said, "I'll have someone bring you the money later. You won't be shortchanged."
Just from her tone, you could tell that she must be the daughter of a wealthy family in the city.
Otherwise, she would have no reason to keep asking someone to deliver it; ordinary people don't have that right.
Xiao Feng was about to continue the argument when the spirit stone inside his clothes suddenly trembled, causing him to turn his gaze outside.
Only now does the woman realize that Xiao Feng has been hiding his true strength from her.
Given the spiritual power Xiao Feng is currently unleashing, she might not even be able to withstand a single move from him, so how could the two possibly clash?
Xiao Feng glanced at the woman and said, "If you have time, could you watch the tavern for me? I need to leave."
As his voice fell, the Mountain and River Sword was summoned.
In just ten breaths, Xiao Feng stood on the Mountain and River Sword and arrived at the nearest mountain forest.
He took out the spirit stone and glanced around: "The spirit stone has detected the aura of the demons. Let's see where you can hide now."
Soon, he infused spiritual energy into the spirit stone.
The fluctuations of the spirit stone spread throughout the entire mountain forest, revealing everything inside, which entered Xiao Feng's eyes completely.
Before long, Xiao Feng looked towards a certain spot in the mountains and a smile appeared on his face: "Did you think you could hide there and be safe?"
He then channeled his spiritual energy into the Mountain and River Sword, which carried him deep into the mountains and forests.
At this moment, two dark figures were hiding behind a large tree, not daring to even breathe.
Xiao Feng glanced at the two dark figures and snorted coldly, "With your combined strength, it seems you're no match for me."
As his voice fell, the blade in his hand slashed down from thin air, cutting the large tree next to them in two.
Knowing their location had been exposed, the shadowy figures exchanged a glance and decided to split up and run in opposite directions.
Regardless, Xiao Feng was only one person, so it was still quite unlikely that he could capture both of them at the same time.
However, they did not expect that Xiao Feng possessed a magical artifact.
Xiao Feng took out the magic flute and chuckled, "Little sapling, if you don't come out, don't blame me for playing the magic flute."
When the sapling heard Xiao Feng's threatening voice, it walked out speechlessly.
Xiao Feng pointed at the two dark figures: "Please take care of those two dark figures, I beg you."
The sapling gripped the surrounding trees tightly, and many tree trunks blocked the two dark figures, as if trying to pull them in.
As the tree trunk had already sealed the two of them, no one expected that the two dark figures were merely energy entities, and the materialized tree trunk had no way to capture them.
As the shadow dispersed and regrouped, it immediately broke free from the encirclement of the tree trunks and disappeared from Xiao Feng's sight.
Watching them leave, the sapling hurriedly came to Xiao Feng and said, "It's not my fault. I've already done it according to your method."
Xiao Feng understood that the sapling was worried about his safety, and laughed loudly: "This is my fault, I will take responsibility, and I will not put the blame on you."
Xiao Feng took a step forward, placed the spirit stone in his hand, and wanted to use its power again to find the whereabouts of the shadowy figure.
However, the shadowy figure had already disappeared into the forest, making it impossible for him to pinpoint its location.
Xiao Feng gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Those two dark figures ran very fast. Now we've alerted them, and it'll be a bit more troublesome to find the demons later."
Originally, the enemy was in the open, while he was in the shadows.
Now that the shadowy figures know someone is coming to capture them, they will be less reckless in their actions and will most likely be more cautious.
Xiao Feng placed the magic flute inside his clothes, glanced at the sapling, and said, "Let's go back to the city and lie low."
Now, only that woman knows his location; no one else knows that he is hiding in a tavern inside the city.
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, the sapling turned around and landed in front of him. The two of them returned to the city at top speed without attracting anyone's attention.
