Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Chen Feng calmly replied:

"I want to make my own choices in life. I don't want to live under your protection."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanran's expression stiffened, but her tone softened.

“I know you want to become stronger because of Wang Heng, but there’s no need to take on such a dangerous mission. You can take it one step at a time.”

Wang Yanran believed that Chen Feng went on such a dangerous mission because he heard that Wang Heng had advanced to the Void Refinement stage.

Although she was happy that Chen Feng could change, she did not want him to take any risks.

"I understand. Is there anything else?" Chen Feng asked Wang Yanran.

Wang Yanran said, "I'll take you back to your sect later. You should stay here and cultivate diligently. Don't go out during this time."

Chen Feng shook his head:

"I want to stay on the battlefield for a while to gain experience."

Wang Yanran thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but you have to promise me you won't take any risks."

Wang Yanran did not object to Chen Feng's desire to gain experience on the battlefield, after all, the battlefield is always the place where a person grows the fastest.

Without saying anything more to Wang Yanran, Chen Feng headed into the stronghold.

Watching Chen Feng's departing figure, Wang Yanran fell into deep thought.

Her younger brother has changed a lot recently. Now he speaks to her with neither arrogance nor servility, and he shows no fear whatsoever.

In the past, people would be extremely apprehensive when they saw her.

Such a drastic change made Wang Yanran somewhat suspicious.

She took out the jade talisman and began contacting the Wang family cultivators in the sect. She wanted to investigate Wang Ping's situation within the sect over the past ten years.

Even if a person changes, their personality wouldn't suddenly change so drastically; there must be something wrong with it.

Chen Feng was unaware that Wang Yanran had already become suspicious of him.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't think anything of it.

Although the identity of Wang Ping is very useful to him, it does not mean that he should completely pretend to be Wang Ping.

Chen Feng then found the place inside the stronghold where he could accept missions.

The missions on the battlefield are different from those within the Three Saints Sect; almost ninety percent of them involve fighting against cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect.

The remaining small group was involved in intelligence gathering.

Chen Feng received a mission without any trouble. The mission was to lead ten Nascent Soul cultivators to the northern border of Qingzhou to intercept the Blood Demon Palace cultivators who were supporting the battlefield.

The mission objective is to buy time and prevent the Blood Demon Palace cultivators from reaching the main battlefield as much as possible.

These ten Nascent Soul cultivators who accompanied Chen Feng were all from affiliated forces of the Three Saints Sect.

The Blood Demon Palace is the same; these top-tier forces only allow their own disciples to take command, leaving dangerous tasks to their vassal forces.

The cultivators of the vassal forces were well aware of this, but they still came to participate in this great battle.

There was no way around it; both the Three Saints Sect and the Blood Demon Palace gave them far too much.

They have no choice but to come here and take a gamble if they want to go further.

Inside the stronghold, Chen Feng successfully met the ten Nascent Soul cultivators who had been traveling with him. These ten people included men and women, and were of different ages.

When they saw that Chen Feng was a true disciple, all ten of them showed surprise.

"May I ask your esteemed name, young master? I am Liu Mei of the Hehuan Sect." A charming woman stepped forward and bowed to Chen Feng.

The woman possessed the cultivation level of a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator, yet she was exceptionally respectful towards Chen Feng.

The others did not find this strange.

This is a true disciple of the Three Saints Sect, a real future high-ranking member of the Three Saints Sect. If you cultivate a good relationship with him, there will be many benefits in the future.

"The Joyous Union Sect?" Chen Feng looked at the woman in front of him with a strange expression.

He encountered several members of the Hehuan Sect on Canglan Star.

I never expected that there would be a Hehuan Sect in this Xuanhuang Realm. This Hehuan Sect is truly an everlasting sect in the cultivation world.

"What's wrong, fellow Daoist?" Liu Mei asked, moving closer to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng shook his head:

"It's nothing. My name is Wang Ping. Now that everyone is here, let's set off."

After saying that, Chen Feng took the lead and headed out of the stronghold.

Upon seeing Chen Feng leave immediately, Liu Mei's smile froze.

A Nascent Soul cultivator nearby joked:
"Fairy Liu, you should save your breath. This man is a true disciple of the Three Saints Sect. How could he possibly be interested in you?"

"None of your business!" Liu Mei snorted coldly, then followed Chen Feng.

The others quickly followed suit.

After leaving the base, the group arrived at the edge of a mountain range on the border.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, according to the information, the people coming from our route are from the Xuanzhou branch of the Blood Demon Palace. Let's set up an array here."

A Nascent Soul cultivator made a suggestion to Chen Feng.

This mission is to intercept cultivators from other branches of the Blood Demon Palace who are coming to support the battlefield.

The Blood Demon Palace would naturally not allow all its support personnel to take the same route.

The route that Chen Feng and his men used to ambush them was only one of them.

"No need, we can just wait here for them to arrive," Chen Feng said calmly.

Everyone was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

An older Nascent Soul cultivator hesitated for a moment before saying:
“Well, Fellow Daoist Wang, although only a small number of Blood Demon Palace cultivators are passing through our route, there are at least twenty of them. If we don’t set up an array, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to stop them.”

The others also chimed in agreement:

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wang, to be on the safe side, let's set up an array."

"I have brought a sixth-order grand formation. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage would find it difficult to break in a short time. Let me set up the formation."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you can rest on the side. We'll take care of it."

Seeing everyone talking at once, Chen Feng didn't bother to care anymore: "Whatever."

After saying that, Chen Feng closed his eyes and rested by himself.

The others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

At this moment, Liu Mei leaned close to Chen Feng and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you will stay by my side from now on. With me here, no one can hurt you."

Chen Feng glanced at Liu Mei and suddenly asked:

"Who were the ancestors of your Hehuan Sect?"

Chen Feng always felt that the Hehuan Sect was very special. It was one thing for Canglan Star to have several Hehuan Sects, but now there was one in the Xuanhuang Realm as well.

He felt that these different Hehuan Sect members were likely connected.

When Chen Feng suddenly steered the conversation towards her ancestors, Liu Mei was almost caught off guard.

"Our sect's ancestors"

After thinking for a while, Liu Mei said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, I don't know much about our ancestor either. It's just that it's rumored in the sect that our ancestor was a being above the Dao Integration Realm. Back then, our Hehuan Sect was considered a major force in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"It's just a pity that the younger generation is incompetent. The current Hehuan Sect doesn't even have a single person at the fifth step of the Dao Integration stage."

Chen Feng wanted to ask more questions, but then he seemed to realize something and immediately looked into the distance.

Liu Mei followed Chen Feng's gaze and saw a Dharma ship appear in the distance.

"The Blood Demon Palace has arrived!"

"Quickly, activate the formation!"

Several Nascent Soul cultivators immediately entered the formation and took their positions. A formation with someone in charge will be much more powerful.

But as soon as the group sat down in the formation, Chen Feng transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the distant magic ship.

The people inside the formation were stunned by what they saw.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, what are you doing? Come back immediately!" The Nascent Soul elder who was in charge of the formation hurriedly called out.

But it was too late for him to speak, because Chen Feng had already blocked the Blood Demon Palace's magic ship. More than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators immediately flew out of the Blood Demon Palace's magic ship.

The twenty-odd people all looked at Chen Feng with wary expressions.

One of the leading cultivators, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, sized up Chen Feng and said:

"So you're a true disciple of the Three Saints Sect. No wonder you dared to stop us all by yourself. But aren't you being a little too confident?"

Chen Feng didn't speak, but instead transformed into a beam of light and rushed over.

Upon seeing Chen Feng charging directly towards him, the Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator from the Blood Demon Palace let out a cold snort.

He immediately made a hand seal, and a ten-meter-long blood blade composed of blood energy formed above his head.

The blood-red blade was about to strike Chen Feng.

But at that moment, Chen Feng stretched out his finger and pointed it at the blood-red blade from a distance:
"Break!"

An eerie aura began to permeate the area.

The blood blade spell that the Blood Demon Palace cultivators had just condensed vanished in an instant.

The spell was interrupted, and the Blood Demon Palace cultivator's face immediately turned pale.

Cultivators need to use incantations to cast spells. If a spell is interrupted, the cultivator will suffer a backlash.

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Blood Demon Palace stared at Chen Feng in utter shock:

"The Dao of Severance! You've actually mastered Daoist arts!"

As a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Blood Demon Palace, he naturally knew about the Dao of Severance.

But isn't this a Taoist technique that only a Taoist master can master?
Before he could recover from his shock, a sword aura formed from vital energy pierced through his brow.

Wang Ping cultivates the Three Saints Sect's inherited technique—the Three Saints Sword Art.

This technique can be practiced by any disciple of the Three Saints Sect.

With Chen Feng's current level of cultivation, learning the Nascent Soul stage of this technique is not difficult.

He just used the sword energy from the Three Saints Sword Technique.

After killing a Nascent Soul cultivator, Chen Feng did not pause at all. He once again condensed dozens of sword energies and slashed at the remaining Blood Demon Palace cultivators.

Faced with Chen Feng's attack, the Blood Demon Palace cultivators naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; they all used various methods to retaliate.

But they soon discovered that their spells were completely useless against Chen Feng.

Because as soon as they tried to unleash their abilities, Chen Feng immediately interrupted them with his Dao of Severance technique.

Moreover, even attacks from spiritual treasures and magical artifacts were interrupted by Chen Feng using the Dao of Severance.

Soon, a one-sided massacre ensued.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all twenty-odd Nascent Soul cultivators in the arena died under Chen Feng's sword energy.

Their primordial spirits were naturally taken away by Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's act of taking away the primordial spirit was very discreet, and Liu Mei and the others in the distance did not notice it.

After killing more than twenty people, Chen Feng flew back to Liu Mei and the others, and said to them:

"It's all taken care of, let's go back."

Liu Mei and the others were completely dumbfounded.

What did they see? More than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from the Blood Demon Palace were all killed by Chen Feng alone?
This is a Nascent Soul cultivator! Not some common cabbage.

The old man presiding over the formation swallowed hard and looked at Chen Feng:

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you truly a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

It's no wonder people have this suspicion; when Chen Feng killed those twenty-odd Nascent Soul cultivators, it was like killing chickens.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators didn't even retaliate the entire time.

This made them somewhat suspicious that Chen Feng might be hiding his cultivation level.

Liu Mei, who was standing next to him, said:
"Are you stupid? Can't you tell whether Fellow Daoist Wang is a Nascent Soul cultivator or not?"

Liu Mei's words brought the old man to his senses.

When Chen Feng made his move just now, he did indeed only use techniques at the Nascent Soul level.

They were not mistaken in their perception of either spiritual energy fluctuations or the manipulation of the world's primordial energy.

At this moment, a tremendous wave of emotion surged within everyone's hearts.

Although they knew that every true disciple of the Three Saints Sect was a prodigy among prodigies.

However, the fact that one person could kill more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators still shocked them.

Liu Mei's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Feng:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, was that the renowned Dao of Severance you just used?"

"Yes." Chen Feng didn't hide anything and nodded in acknowledgment.

To Chen Feng, the twenty-odd Nascent Soul cultivators were no different from ants.

If he wanted to, he could wipe them all out with a single glance.

But he didn't forget his purpose: to elevate Wang Ping's status within the Three Saints Sect, so it naturally had to be more reasonable.

The emergence of the Dao of Severance can explain why he was able to kill more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators.

Upon receiving Chen Feng's affirmative answer, the group of Nascent Soul cultivators looked at him with disbelief.

They had naturally heard of the Dao of Severance, which was the most prestigious inheritance of the three major sects!
Even within the Three Saints Sect, very few people can master it.

The fact that Wang Ping, who was in front of us, had mastered the Dao of Severance at the Nascent Soul stage, makes one imagine how sensational this matter would be if it were to spread.

"Any more questions? If not, go back and continue with your missions." Chen Feng looked at everyone.

"No problem... I'll do whatever Fellow Daoist Wang says!"

Everyone immediately chimed in agreement, and their attitudes changed. Before, they only respected Chen Feng's identity, but now they respected his strength even more.

After Chen Feng returned to the stronghold, news of his single-handedly killing more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from the Blood Demon Palace immediately spread.

At first, many cultivators of the Three Saints Sect did not believe the news.

Because the person who did this was Wang Ping.

Who is Wang Ping?

That's a very famous second-generation member of the Three Saints Sect.

Therefore, many people subconsciously believe that even if Wang Ping really killed more than twenty Blood Demon Palace Nascent Soul cultivators, it was because he used the trump card given to him by his family.

But as the news slowly spread, people learned the details.

Wang Ping did not use any of his family's treasures; he only managed to kill more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators by relying on the Dao of Severance.

This news is arguably even more shocking.

The Way of Severance!

There are very few cultivators in the entire Three Saints Sect who can master the Daoist arts; only those old monsters who have reached the Dao level can comprehend the Daoist arts.

Now, Wang Ping, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, has actually mastered the Dao!
It is easy to imagine how shocking this news was to the cultivators of the Three Saints Sect.

However, the majority of people still do not believe it.

After all, Wang Ping's reputation within the Three Saints Sect was truly terrible.

No one would believe that such a second-generation rich kid could be such a peerless genius who could comprehend the Dao at the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Feng did not respond to any of this.

In the following days, he took on several more dangerous missions.

He exceeded expectations in all of these tasks.

Almost every Blood Demon Palace cultivator who faced him survived.

As he used the Dao of Severance more and more often, the cultivators of the Three Saints Sect finally believed that Wang Ping had mastered the Dao of Severance.

Wang Ping's name gradually began to spread across the front lines.

Even the cultivators of the Blood Demon Palace had heard of it. (End of Chapter)
