"Could it not be in the cave?"
Hu Meiyu called out repeatedly, but her "prey" never opened the door.
Finally, she couldn't resist any longer and opened the cave's array restrictions. As expected, Han Feng was not inside the cave.
Inside the alchemy room, Han Feng noticed that the array restrictions of his cave dwelling had been compromised.
He knew that the person who caused the destruction was Hu Meiyu.
Not long after, Hu Meiyu sent a telepathic message.
"Feng'er, your master's wife needs to see you. Where are you now?"
"Master's wife, I'm refining pills in the alchemy hall. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Your master has left the sect on business and has entrusted me with something that I need to personally tell you."
Hu Meiyu's words not only employed illusions but also blatantly carried a seductive tone.
"I'm afraid I can't come. I'm at a crucial stage in refining the pills. Master's wife, you should go back first. I'll come over when Master returns," Han Feng said perfunctorily.
He possessed the Heavenly Secrets Divine Technique and Puppetry, which enhanced his divine sense. Unless Hu Meiyu tempted him in person, her voice had no effect on him.
"That despicable little thief! I should have known better than to let you go earlier."
Hu Meiyu stamped her fair, beautiful feet and left Han Feng's cave with no other choice.
"It wasn't easy!"
Han Feng breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Through the array restrictions beside the cave, it was learned that Hu Meiyu had left the cave.
But he wasn't in a hurry to go back, as the underground fire in the alchemy room was more conducive to the formation of the puppet.
After more than ten days, a maid puppet and two eagle puppets appeared in front of Han Feng.
The maid puppets are beautiful and graceful, while the two eagle puppets are lifelike and seem ready to take flight.
If Han Feng hadn't personally crafted them, one would have truly believed these three puppets were real.
The maid puppet's power was demonstrated in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
The two eagle puppets displayed power at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.
However, these two eagles can combine, and their combined power is at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, much stronger than the maid puppet.
Han Feng had already received Li Changsheng's telepathic message, and the competition among the four sects would begin immediately.
He put the three puppets into his storage bag and exchanged all the high-grade spirit-restoring pills he had refined for spirit stones.
Han Feng now possesses 300 spirit stones, which, while not a large number, are enough for two life simulations.
When Han Feng arrived at the place Li Changsheng had arranged, fifty Foundation Establishment stage disciples of Huangfeng Valley were already waiting there.
Most of these Foundation Establishment disciples are relatively young and are still hoping to compete to see if they can break through to the Core Formation stage.
Those older Foundation Establishment cultivators, such as Zhang Bitian who had no hope of reaching the Core Formation stage, naturally would not participate in such a dangerous competition between the four sects.
The four sects chose to hold their competition at the Purple Moon Sect.
The Purple Moon Sect ranks first among the four sects and has always maintained a neutral stance.
Only then did the Star Moon Sect and Yellow Maple Valley agree to hold the competition at the Purple Moon Sect.
Li Changsheng, as the team leader, summoned a small cyan boat and led everyone to the Purple Moon Sect.
...
As the largest sect in Tiannan, the Purple Moon Sect naturally occupies the best geographical environment and spiritual veins.
Han Feng moved into the accommodations arranged by the Purple Moon Sect. Although it was just an ordinary place, the concentration of spiritual energy was no less than that of the most spiritually rich places in Yellow Maple Valley.
The competition among the four sects has already begun, and Han Feng's first opponent is a disciple of the Star Moon Sect.
The competition took place in a square, and before the competition, everyone had signed a waiver of life and death.
Unless one side voluntarily concedes defeat, the winner is determined by life or death.
If one side voluntarily concedes defeat, the other side must cease hostilities.
This competition has obvious exploitable flaws.
You can kill your opponent as long as you kill them before they surrender.
The Star Moon Sect and the Yellow Maple Valley are sworn enemies, and Han Feng showed no mercy as soon as he took the stage.
His true cultivation level had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so facing the Star Moon Sect disciples who were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment was naturally quite easy for him.
Han Feng wielded his silver sword, severing the head of the Star Moon Sect disciple and not even sparing his soul.
Since he is aiming for first place, there is no need for him to hide his strength.
Because once you win first place, all your previous low-key behavior will become high-profile.
It would have been better to be high-profile from the start, then winning first place would have been a natural outcome.
With Han Feng killing the Star Moon Sect disciple in his first battle, the elders, including Li Changsheng, all wore satisfied smiles.
Han Feng killed the Star Moon Sect disciples with ease, but the other Yellow Maple Valley disciples were not so lucky.
The Star Moon Sect ranks second among the four sects, and its strength is far greater than that of the third-ranked Yellow Maple Valley.
Besides Han Feng, ten other people encountered disciples of the Star Moon Sect.
All ten were defeated; except for one who promptly surrendered, none of the others managed to escape.
This caused the faces of the elders of Huangfeng Valley to darken instantly.
On the contrary, the elders of the Star Moon Sect smiled and commented on the prowess of their disciples.
Han Feng didn't care too much; he was just happy to get first place.
He returned to his lodgings to rest for a while before continuing the competition.
The next one I encountered was a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect, who controlled a lion covered in red flames.
Han Feng only needed to unleash one sword strike, and the Spirit Beast Sect was so frightened that they immediately admitted defeat.
Next up is a disciple of the Purple Moon Sect. This young girl is lively and cute, with a supple figure.
The girl's cultivation level has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and she is also skilled in swordsmanship.
Han Feng showed no mercy, knocking the sword from the girl's hand and placing it against her neck.
"Senior brother, please have mercy!" The girl from the Purple Robe Sect quickly admitted defeat.
Han Feng showed no intention of taking the sword down, which made Ling'er, the girl from the Purple Moon Sect, tremble with fear.
"Senior brother, please don't kill me, I'm still very young."
"You haven't admitted defeat yet."
"Ah!" Ling'er, the girl from the Purple Moon Sect, was surprised and quickly said, "I...I admit defeat."
Han Feng had just removed his sword from the neck of the Ziyue Sect girl, Ling'er, who was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
She had thought Han Feng was going to kill her, but it turned out she had forgotten to admit defeat.
Han Feng put away his magical artifact and left the competition venue.
After winning this match, the next step is the semi-finals.
The events unfolded exactly like a life simulation; he was competing against a fake Core Formation stage disciple of the Star Moon Sect.
Han Feng needs to recover to his best condition to welcome this pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.
Unbeknownst to him, a woman in a palace dress wearing a purple veil was staring at him with her beautiful purple eyes.
When Nangong Xian saw Han Feng again, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
“Grandmaster, I have already inquired about this. This person is named Han Feng and is a disciple of Huangfeng Valley. He just defeated Ling'er and will now challenge Zhang Yan of Xingyue Sect.”
“This Zhang Yan is a well-known expert among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Star Moon Sect. He has been in the Pseudo Core stage for a long time. This person is probably no match for him.”
A beautiful female disciple from the Purple Moon Sect came forward to report.
"Xue'er, you may leave. I understand."
Nangong Xian sighed helplessly.
She didn't want the first man in her life to die right under her nose.
