Qin Feng looked at Old Man Zhang with great displeasure.
The carefree True Lord felt a little uneasy under his gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Qin Feng spat in annoyance, "No, he seemed all high and mighty when he first came to Yin'an City, like some kind of expert, but it turns out he's not all that great after all."
Old Zhang was somewhat embarrassed and bitter. "Well, it depends on who you're talking to. Against Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators, they're definitely experts. Against those at the same level, they're not experts at all. Isn't that how the path of cultivation works?"
"By the way, could you introduce yourself? Calling yourself 'Xiaoyao Zhenjun' is too awkward."
"My real name is Zhang Kaicheng. You can call me Old Zhang. Don't be so resentful, kid."
Although Yun Kai was implicated by me this time, the path of cultivation is highly competitive, and these things are something he would have to face sooner or later once he embarked on this path. This may not be a bad thing for him.
His kind heart is both a good thing and a bad thing; many things are beyond his control.
Qin Feng knew in his heart that he was right. Xiao Shitou's indifferent attitude towards the world was indeed easy to suffer, but if he focused on cultivation, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort. It was a double-edged sword with both advantages and disadvantages.
But Qin Feng wouldn't let him off the hook, saying, "Old Zhang, it's easy for you to say that when you're not the one being targeted."
Zhang Kaicheng looked somewhat embarrassed.
Qin Feng then asked, "They agreed on a time limit, right? How much time is left before Little Stone comes back?"
If it takes too long, he first met with Little Stone's parents, Uncle Guo and Aunt Li, and then planned to visit Tianjiao City.
Anyway, it's not far from Tianjiao City, so it's better than waiting here aimlessly.
Zhang Kaicheng said, "They agreed on a ten-day period, and today is the last day. Whether it will work out or not depends on today. You will be able to see him again soon."
Qin Feng nodded, "That's good, a little extra time won't make a difference."
Then Zhang Kaicheng seemed to remember something and asked Qin Feng curiously:
"I'm telling you, kid, what level are you at now? I can't see through you at all. Was your destruction of the Blade Overlord Sect last time your true strength?"
Qin Feng looked at him meaningfully, "Realm level isn't important, I'm just a little bit stronger than you. As for whether that was my true strength that time, guess?"
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Zhang Kaicheng did not press him, after all, it was someone else's secret, and changed the subject.
He said, "You don't still remember that ridiculous agreement to compete with Yun Kai, do you?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng chuckled, "A man's word is his bond. What I say must be kept. I must have a good match with Little Stone."
Zhang Kaicheng was speechless. What was the point of fighting? He should just beat them up.
They're good brothers, he should be fine after a few days of rest.
Just as Qin Feng was thinking of visiting Xiao Shitou's parents, he saw Xiaoyao Zhenjun suddenly stand up.
His previously cheerful expression suddenly turned serious, and he shouted angrily, "Oh no, Yun Kai is in danger!"
Qin Feng's brows furrowed instantly, and a murderous aura emanated from him.
He guessed right. Things weren't as simple as Zhang Kai had thought. There were more tricks waiting for Xiao Shitou. Sending him on a mission was just the first step.
Without waiting for Qin Feng's reminder, Zhang Kaicheng stepped into the air and flew away.
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
Qin Feng certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to stay here and wait. With a flick of his wrist, he led Leng Yuexi, Xiao Fan, and Ying Tiantian after Zhang Kaicheng.
What Qin Feng didn't expect was that Zhang Kaicheng was stopped and greeted by an old man.
This person wore a fiery red Taoist robe, as beautiful as the blazing sun. On the left chest was a small sun, burning fiercely, and on the right was the symbol of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a small sword piercing the sky.
The person who heard this chuckled and said:
"Elder Zhang, how have you been lately? You seem to be in a hurry. Is there something important that you need to tell me? Perhaps I can help you."
Behind this person were two disciples, who were also looking at Zhang Yunkai with smiles on their faces.
One of them was Zhu Denghua, who was guarding the mountain gate, and he glared at Qin Feng and his group.
Zhang Kaicheng angrily cursed at the man, "Zhao Mingzhen, get out of the way! I don't have time to chat with you now. If anything happens to Yun Kaizhen, I'll never forgive you."
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. Zhao Mingzhen, wasn't he Zhang Kaicheng's mortal enemy? Why was he causing trouble at this time? Qin Feng simply didn't believe it had anything to do with him.
Zhao Mingzhen, dressed in a bright red Taoist robe, chuckled.
"Never mind, never mind. I was feeling really bad for accidentally injuring Elder Zhang a few days ago, so I came here to offer my condolences, but I didn't expect Elder Zhang to be so ungrateful."
Since you seem so averse to me, and are saying things I don't understand at all, then I won't interfere with Elder Zhang's actions. I'll take my leave.
After saying this, Zhao Mingzhen put on a sigh of regret, as if his good intentions had been wasted, and angrily flicked his sleeves before storming off.
His acting was so bad that anyone with eyes could see it was wrong.
His two disciples behind him wore gloating smiles.
This caused Zhang Kaiming to frown deeply, his anger burning.
Zhao Ming must have known something, and he came here specifically to humiliate Zhang Kaicheng, to annoy him, and to make Zhang Kaicheng look foolish.
Zhang Kaicheng knew, of course, that Zhao Mingzhen had ill intentions. He suspected that Guo Yunkai's troubles were probably related to Zhao Mingzhen, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence.
However, he knew that now was not the time to worry about such things; saving lives was the priority.
So he sped up and headed towards Guo Yunkai's direction.
The situation was urgent, and Qin Feng's speed was definitely far ahead of Zhang Kaicheng's. This was not the time to hide his abilities. He quickly caught up with Zhang Kaicheng and said to him, "You give me directions, and I'll take you on your way."
Zhang Kaicheng was stunned at first, then realized he was stupid and cursed himself for being foolish, before obediently giving directions.
The difference between the Nascent Soul and the Divine Transformation stage may seem small, but it is actually quite significant. Qin Feng's speed is even greater than that of an average Nascent Soul cultivator.
Qin Feng's speed astonished Zhang Kaiyun, who suddenly realized that Qin Feng was unfathomable. He secretly felt lucky that he hadn't offended this kid.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Feng led them to a desolate forest.
What made Qin Feng frown was that he saw a huge Nascent Soul demon beast.
This is a colossal python, hundreds of feet long, coiling its body around a small stone, its eyes filled with a playful gaze, as if looking at its own toy.
To Qin Feng's surprise, the giant python didn't seem to have any murderous intent; it was more like it was teasing the little stone. Are monsters these days so boring?
Little Stone looked panicked and fearful as he stared at the giant python.
It would be strange if he wasn't nervous and afraid. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator facing a giant python in the Nascent Soul stage would be a brave man to not wet his pants.
Fortunately, the little stone was currently enveloped in a light shield and was not in any immediate danger.
Qin Feng and Zhang Kaicheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Kaicheng roared at the giant python, "You dare to bully my disciple? You're tired of living!"
As he spoke, he charged toward the giant python that devoured the sky.
The giant python naturally noticed the newcomer. Its enormous body was very agile, and its tail moved nimbly like a whip, spreading out in a wide arc.
