Chapter 336 Seeing the Red Pheasant, Be My Woman

[Unnamed Master (18/3200)]

The moment the proficiency level on the panel jumped, Xu Feng felt as if countless profound techniques about the use of mental power and the control of throwing knives exploded in his mind, and he quickly mastered them.

His control over mental power instantly reached a whole new level!

Xu Feng had a sudden thought.

Fifty-four SSS-grade throwing knives were already hovering around him, slowly rotating along mysterious trajectories, like planets orbiting the sun.

Suddenly, Xu Feng's mind stirred slightly.

Eighteen more streaks of light flew out from his sleeves and joined the array of flying knives.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Inside the quiet room, the number of SSS-class throwing knives that were originally floating suddenly increased!

From 54 handles, to 60 handles, 66 handles, and 72 handles!

A total of 72 gleaming throwing knives, led by three brightly colored Star God-level throwing knives, moved nimbly around, intertwining and combining under Xu Feng's mental control.

They sometimes coalesce into bundles, bursting forth with a sharpness that pierces through everything.

Sometimes it spreads out like a net, covering all directions.

Sometimes they are arranged in formation, which can even trigger a resonance in the energy field, multiplying their power.

Soon, with a slight thought from Xu Feng...

The 72 throwing knives instantly split and combined, forming a group of 12, which transformed into six incredibly agile "Golden Scale Spirit Fish"!

Each "spirit fish" is perfectly integrated, as if it were a real life.

They navigate within the "momentum," capable of both independent attacks and coordinated formations.

This is not real life.

Rather, it is the advanced technique of "Telekinesis" that evolved from Xu Feng's own understanding of "momentum" and his immense mental power after the "Unnamed" secret technique reached the "Grandmaster" level!

As for Xu Feng, due to the fish tide formation, he naturally transformed it into a spirit fish.

"Buzz"

The spirit fish instantly shone brightly, and the surrounding air emitted a shrill cry that seemed unable to bear the weight.

"This power—"

Xu Feng sensed the terrifying power contained within the spirit fish and quickly assessed its strength.

His current basic telekinetic energy is 852 tons.

Each spirit fish can perfectly bear all his mental power, and through the unique vibration frequency and array structure of "Unnamed", it can unleash a mental power amplitude of up to 12 times!

852 tons × 12 = 10224 tons!

The instantaneous impact force of a single spirit fish is enough to break the 10,000-ton mark!

Although this is just the purest impact data.

There is still a gap between them and the comprehensive combat power of true Star Gods who control the laws and possess a wide range of supernatural abilities.

However, it is enough to pose a fatal threat to a first-tier Star God.

It can even cause considerable trouble and damage to a second-tier Star God!

"Six spirit fish are equivalent to six powerhouses at the first level of a Star God... If they were to unleash their power simultaneously, the force would be unimaginable!"

Xu Feng was filled with excitement.

This is undoubtedly one of his strongest trump cards, enough to turn the tide of battle!

However, once he reached this point, he realized just how monstrous the domain of a Star God Realm expert truly was.

Therefore, neither the Star God Realm Cloud Leopard he killed earlier, nor Brook, whom he later killed through various means, could make Xu Feng feel the pressure of the Star God Realm.

Therefore, these achievements cannot be counted.

Xu Feng secretly reminded himself to remain respectful, keep a low profile, and never underestimate his opponents.

He slowly calmed his breathing, and the 72 throwing knives, like swallows returning to their nests, silently disappeared into his sleeves.

The "Mountain Wind and Falling Stars" energy subsided quietly, and the still room returned to tranquility.

"After half a month of arduous training, my strength has greatly increased. Now, even without using external objects such as the Chaos Pearl and the Star Disc, I can still achieve great success."

Based on his own strength alone, he should be able to rank among the top peak masters of Xiaoqingqiong Mountain, right?

"Let's venture into the secret realm again! This time, those three alchemy apprentices won't be able to stop me!"

Xu Feng pushed open the stone door of the quiet room and walked out.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the campsite was in good order.

Upon seeing Xu Feng emerge from seclusion, Xiao Feng immediately came to greet him.

"Brother!"

As soon as he called out, Xiaofeng immediately sensed the profound aura emanating from Xu Feng that was different from before.

"You've emerged from seclusion?" Li Wen's voice rang out from a tree behind Xu Feng.

As he lightly leaped down to Xu Feng's side, he suddenly paused, "You've broken through?"

Especially the "momentum" emanating from Xu Feng, which seemed to resonate subtly with the surrounding world.

Even Li Wen, who was also a god of war, felt a pang of fear.

"Brother, you—" Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise.

"I've gained some insights," Xu Feng smiled slightly, without elaborating, and instead asked, "Has there been any activity outside these days?"

Xiaofeng's expression turned serious, and he quickly reported, "I was just about to report to my brother."

During your seclusion, Peak Master Hongzhi issued three more summons.

His words grew increasingly harsh, and the last time he even threatened to personally come and interrogate them.

Furthermore, the Peak Master of Qingxuan Peak also sent a message saying that Envoy Youquan was quite displeased with the matter of the Illusory Colors, and that you should take care of yourself.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng sneered: "Red Pheasant—just a clown jumping around. As for the Envoy of Youquan, I have my own plans. What else?"

Li Wen interjected, "There's been some activity from the Tianfeng Imperial Court."

Based on the information Xiaofeng gathered and the traces we found on the outskirts.

A elite squad from the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court was recently spotted in a valley about 300 miles northwest of Shixia Valley, seemingly searching for something.

In addition, the conflict between Xiaoqingqiong Mountain and Tianfeng Royal Court on the Blackstone Plains has escalated.

Both sides have one peak master/prince-level expert injured, and both sides are extremely angry.

Xu Feng narrowed his eyes: "The people from the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court have come over here?"

Interesting—it seems they're also interested in this secret realm, or what's inside.

He pondered for a moment, and quickly came up with a plan.

The Red Pheasant's relentless pressure, the Hidden Spring's growing discontent, and the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court's clandestine surveillance—the situation is developing in a more complex and dangerous direction.

But now that his strength has greatly increased, he needs a battle to "establish his authority" to solidify his position and deter those who dare to challenge him.

At the same time, they stirred up trouble to gain more space and benefits for themselves and their covert plans.

"The Heavenly Wind Imperial Court—you've come at the perfect time."

Xu Feng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Pass down the order to strengthen vigilance, especially in the northwest direction."

Li Wen, keep a close eye on the movements of that Tianfeng Royal Court team.

It would be best to find out their exact number, strength, and purpose.

"Xiaofeng, the camp defense is in your hands. As I instructed before, if there are any unfamiliar spies, keep an eye on them."

"Yes!" The two accepted the order.

"And what about you?" Li asked curiously.

Xiaofeng, who was standing to the side, glanced at him and frowned slightly.

Xu Feng looked up, gazing northwest, his eyes sharp as knives: "Since Hong Zhi wants to see me, then I'll go see her. But before that, I need to go to the ruins one more time."

Two days later.

Hongyun Peak, the second peak.

The majestic palace, built of crimson crystal, appears and disappears amidst the perpetual pale red mist.

From a distance, it truly resembles a flame burning in the sky, majestic and mysterious.

In front of the main hall at the summit is a vast platform polished from a single piece of crimson crystal.

Smooth as a mirror, reflecting the flowing clouds in the sky.

The atmosphere on the platform was tense at that moment.

Dozens of elite Red Cloud Peak warriors, clad in crimson armor and exuding a fierce aura, stood on either side, their eyes coldly fixed on the golden figure slowly approaching from the foot of the mountain.

Xu Feng did not fly away, but instead stepped one by one up the crimson crystal steps leading to the summit.

Walked with ease.

He was dressed in a light blue outfit, with a layer of golden feathers covering his exposed skin. A knife of unknown origin was casually slung at his waist. He was tall and had a cold and arrogant face.

But when he stepped onto the platform, the way his eyes scanned the surroundings made the battle-hardened elites of Red Cloud Peak on both sides inexplicably shudder, and they subconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons.

It was as if the approaching figure was not a person, but a moving, silent mountain.

"Peak Master Jinmu, please stop!"

A red-armored commander with a cold face and an aura that reached the peak of a high-level lord stepped forward.

They stood blocking the passage to the main hall, their voices harsh and unyielding.

"The Peak Master is waiting inside the hall, but—you must first disarm yourself."

Xu Feng didn't stop walking, but merely glanced at him indifferently: "What if I say no?"

The commander's face darkened, and a crimson aura emanated from his body: "Then don't blame me."

Before he could finish speaking...

An indescribable, overwhelming aura suddenly erupted, instantly enveloping the entire platform!

"Tap tap!!"

All the elites of Red Cloud Peak on the platform, including the high-ranking lord commander, felt their bodies suddenly sink and were forced back two steps!

It felt as if a massive mountain was pressing down on me, the air around me was thick and sticky, my blood and qi circulation suddenly became sluggish, and even my thoughts seemed to slow down!

A fierce and unparalleled will swept over, sending chills down one's spine and instantly extinguishing any fighting spirit.

The commander's face turned deathly pale instantly, veins bulged on his forehead, and he desperately tried to circulate his qi and blood to resist.

However, he discovered that his proud lord-level power was barely enough to stand in the face of this aura and pressure.

And the elite troops behind him were even more pathetic.

Many people groaned and staggered backward, some even kneeling on one knee, barely managing to stay upright by using their weapons for support.

Apart from Xu Feng, no one on the entire platform could stand up straight!

Xu Feng didn't even look at them, and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

He walked straight past the commander who stood frozen in place and stepped into the wide-open, crimson palace gate, which resembled the mouth of a giant beast.

Only after his figure disappeared inside the door did the terrifying aura that enveloped the platform recede like a tide.

"Thump," "Thump" —

A series of thuds rang out as everyone collapsed to the ground, including the commander; they were all drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

His eyes still held shock and disbelief.

How could the sheer force of his aura render dozens of Red Cloud Peak elites, including a high-ranking lord, instantly incapacitated?!

Just how powerful is this Golden Roc Peak Master?!

The heat inside the main hall was even greater than outside.

The air seemed to be slightly distorted, filled with a hot and rich exotic fragrance.

The ground was paved with dark red warm jade, and on both sides stood giant red crystal pillars carved with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.

The deepest part.

Above the nine steps of red jade, a wide throne shaped like a phoenix with outstretched wings stands majestically.

On the throne, a woman dressed in crimson feathers sat reclining, one hand supporting her chin.

She looked to be around thirty years old, with an exceptionally beautiful face, snow-white skin, and exquisitely beautiful features.

Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and her gaze carried an intimidating aura of power and charm.

A fiery red feathered robe enveloped her exquisite figure, its hem trailing on the ground, further accentuating her jade-like skin and unparalleled beauty.

It was none other than the Second Peak Master—"Red Pheasant"!

At this moment, she appears languid.

But deep within those slightly narrowed phoenix eyes, a cold light flashed as they stared at the golden figure slowly walking into the palace entrance.

Xu Feng stepped into the hall, his gaze calmly sweeping over the vast and magnificent space.

Ultimately, it landed on the red pheasant on the throne.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

A hint of surprise flashed in the red pheasant's eyes.

She naturally sensed the terrifying aura that burst forth and then subsided on the platform outside the hall. What alarmed her even more was that Xu Feng, who was standing in the hall at this moment, had a harmonious and restrained aura, which gave her a faint sense of pressure, as if she were facing a strong person of the same level!

This is definitely not the inexperienced newly promoted peak master who needed to establish his authority by killing Huan Cai just half a month ago!

However, this level of strength is no match for me.

"Kaneki, you finally dared to come?"

Red Pheasant slowly sat up straight, her voice charming yet carrying a chilling coldness that echoed throughout the hall.

"I thought you were going to hide in that rocky gorge for the rest of your life."

9

Xu Feng stood in the hall, more than ten feet away from the throne. Hearing this, he smiled slightly: "Since Peak Master Hongzhi has summoned me, how dare Jinmu not come?"

"I was simply in seclusion to consolidate my cultivation, which caused a delay of some time. I hope the Peak Master will not take offense."

"Don't be offended?"

The red pheasant sneered, its phoenix eyes flashing with a sudden, cold light.

"You killed my peak master, hung his body to humiliate him, repeatedly disobeyed orders, and now you've even insulted my Red Cloud Peak disciple—Jin Mu, how arrogant you are!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A terrifying "force" field, scorching hot and explosive, seemingly capable of incinerating everything, suddenly erupted from Akakiri's body!

Crimson light instantly filled the entire hall!

The air temperature rose sharply, and the warm jade on the ground made a slight "pop" sound.

The phoenix carvings on the two giant red crystal pillars seemed to come alive, emitting a silent cry!

This aura contains an extremely pure and domineering fire elemental essence.

It also carries an air of nobility and majesty as the king of all birds.

This is not "momentum," but rather the same kind of aura and spiritual pressure emanating from Xu Feng.

But his level is far superior to Xu Feng's!

The scorching heat surged towards Xu Feng like a raging torrent.

Wherever it passed, the air distorted and emitted a hissing, burning sound.

A cold smile played on the corners of the red pheasant's lips.

She wanted to teach this arrogant brat a lesson he wouldn't believe.

Let him understand that his strength is no match for that of a veteran peak master!

however.

Faced with this scorching "pressure" that would make even ordinary ultimate warriors turn pale and retreat.

Xu Feng merely raised an eyebrow, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

"The bloodline of the Fire Phoenix? It truly lives up to its reputation." He praised lightly, without showing the slightest sign of panic.

A thought subtly stirred within me.

The "Mountain Wind and Falling Stars" silently surrounded him, without spreading outwards.

Therefore, the scorching heat falling on Xu Feng was like a gentle breeze, no longer posing a real threat to him.

Xu Feng even took two steps forward leisurely and smiled slightly: "The Red Pheasant Peak Master's aura is fierce and domineering, which is admirable."

However, to subdue Kaneki with just this, I'm afraid—it's still a bit short.

The red pheasant's pupils suddenly contracted!

She has great confidence in her "fire phoenix bloodline".

Under the oppressive aura of his qi and blood, very few among those of the same level can withstand him head-on.

But this Jinmu not only withstood it, but also seemed so relaxed?!

After a brief moment of shock, Akane's anger intensified, mixed with a hint of humiliation at being provoked.

"Good! Well done, Kaneki! You do have some skill; no wonder you dare to be so arrogant!"

She suddenly stood up, her crimson feather robe fluttering without wind, her fiery blood and qi surging violently, and her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Since words are useless, then let me personally weigh you, this newly appointed peak master, and see just how capable you really are!"

Judging from their posture, they actually intend to fight Xu Feng right here in the main hall!

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became extremely tense, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, almost as if it were about to ignite.

From the shadows on both sides, several obscure yet powerful auras emanated, clearly the trump cards that the Red Pheasant had laid in ambush.

However, at this tense moment...

Xu Feng suddenly laughed.

He restrained his imposing manner, and the coldness and hardness on his face receded like the tide.

Instead, he wore a slightly playful, even somewhat frivolous smile.

Simultaneously.

With a flick of his wrist, a small red jade box, only two fingers wide and three inches long, appeared in his palm.

The small box is crystal clear, with naturally formed cloud-like patterns on its surface.

The box was tightly closed, yet a faint, unsettling fluctuation of energy and a burning sensation emanated from it.

"Okay, that's enough."

Xu Feng, carrying the jade box, took a few more steps forward.

Reaching the bottom of the steps, I tilted my head slightly and looked up at the woman above, her beauty as fiery and radiant as a flame.

"I have come not to argue, but to apologize, and also to—bring a gift."

"A gift?"

The red pheasant paused slightly as she was about to strike, her delicate brows furrowing as she looked suspiciously at the small red jade box in Xu Feng's hand.

"What do you mean by that?"

Her phoenix eyes narrowed as she stared warily at the jade box, and she sneered.

"You think you can get away with killing Huan Cai and then giving me a gift? Kaneki, do you take me for a three-year-old?"

Xu Feng didn't explain, but simply pressed his finger lightly on a hidden rune on the edge of the jade box.

"Click".

The lid popped open slightly.

An indescribable, rich, and vibrant medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.

The medicinal fragrance is not strong.

But even after inhaling just a trace, the red pheasant felt its blood and energy subtly stirring.

The bottleneck in her body refinement that had bound her for so long showed signs of loosening!

Her expression changed drastically, and she could no longer maintain her composure.

Stepping down from the throne, the crimson figure flashed and arrived in front of Xu Feng, its gaze fixed on the contents of the box.

Inside the jade box, there was a soft, dark red velvet cloth.

On the velvet cloth lay a pill the size of a longan, perfectly round, dark gold in color, and with natural cloud patterns on its surface.

The pills appear simple and unadorned.

But with the Red Pheasant's level of understanding and eyesight, it could clearly perceive the terrifying vitality and energy contained within, as vast as the sea yet as gentle as a spring!

Furthermore, a profound Daoist aura, directly pointing to the origin of life and tempering the body and bloodline, lingered and never dissipated.

"This—this is—"

Red Pheasant's voice trembled slightly, without her even realizing it.

With her knowledge and inherited memories, she instantly recognized the origin of this item!

"An ancient, lost secret medicine—the 'Hundred-Refined Golden Body Pill'?!"

Red Pheasant suddenly raised its head and stared intently at Xu Feng.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and extreme longing.

"This elixir has long been extinct, where—where did you get it?!"

Xu Feng closed the box, shutting out the enticing aroma of the medicine, before slowly saying, "I was lucky enough to find it in an ancient ruin."

I've heard that this pill has miraculous effects on tempering the physical body, purifying the bloodline, and breaking through the bottlenecks in body refinement. Its value—I doubt I need to elaborate further.

The red pheasant's breathing became slightly rapid.

More than that, it needs no further explanation!

For powerful alien races who follow the path of physical strength and bloodline.

This is a elixir that can directly enhance the essence of life and break through the limits of the physical body.

Its value is even no less than that of the "Star God Pill," which can help condense laws and ignite divine fire!

Especially for a veteran powerhouse like her who has reached a bottleneck and is struggling to break through, it is an invaluable treasure!

Xu Feng casually tossed the jade box forward, and seeing the red pheasant grab it, he said, "Regarding the matter of Huan Cai, I did indeed handle it improperly."

Red Pheasant looked at the box, her fingers twitching slightly.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her greed and excitement. Her phoenix eyes regained their icy coldness as she stared at Xu Feng: "What do you mean by this? You think you can get away with killing my people and then giving me a pill?"

"Do you think I'd let you go just for a single pill?"

"Let me go?"

Xu Feng suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with amusement and a hint of danger.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, getting within arm's reach of the red pheasant.

Their breaths almost clashed.

The red pheasant could even smell the faint, sharp aura emanating from him, a scent belonging to the Golden Roc clan.

At the same time, there is also a fiery masculine aura!

"When did I ever need the Crimson Pheasant Peak Master to 'let me go'?"

Xu Feng's voice was low, with a magnetic husky quality.

His gaze was fixed intently on the red pheasant's alluring yet majestic phoenix eyes.

"If Huan Cai can be your person, why can't I, Kaneki—?"

Red Pheasant was taken aback, then seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world, and sneered: "You? You think you can beat me?"

She sized Xu Feng up and down, her eyes filled with disdain: "A newcomer who doesn't know his place, dares to challenge me?"

"Why don't you deserve it?"

Xu Feng's smile widened, becoming increasingly dangerous.

Before the red pheasant could react, he suddenly made his move!

It wasn't an attack, but rather—

An arm shot out with lightning speed, domineering yet precise, and grabbed the slender, supple waist of the red pheasant!

Upon touching it, the feather coat was smooth, and the waist was warm and supple.

The red pheasant's delicate body suddenly stiffened!

She never expected that Xu Feng would dare to be so bold!

How outrageous!

In the main hall of Red Cloud Peak, surrounded by her elite troops, how dare they lay a hand on her?!

An overwhelming sense of shame and rage surged to the top of his head.

Her stunningly beautiful face flushed crimson, and her phoenix eyes seemed to spit fire!

"How dare you! You—"

Her crimson aura erupted from her body, ready to shake this audacious lecher away, or even kill him on the spot!

however.

However, the moment he succeeded, Xu Feng deliberately released his arm and his figure floated back three zhang like a ghost.

It was as if that flippant and domineering embrace from just now was merely an illusion.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

He stood at a safe distance, his face still bearing that cynical yet unfathomable smile.

He stared intently at the red pheasant, whose breath was unsteady and whose chest heaved with shame and anger.

"Knowing that you are dissatisfied with me because of the matter of the Illusionary Colors, this pill—is the compensation I specially found for you."

"To be honest, I've got my eye on you."

Xu Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in the silent hall with an unwavering certainty and confidence.

"And also, I always get what I want. I'll come see you next time."

After saying that, he stopped looking at the red pheasant's reaction and actually turned around and walked leisurely out of the hall.

His back was straight and his steps were unhurried, as if he had just teased the second peak master who was famous throughout Xiaoqingqiong Mountain.

It was just a trivial little thing.

The red pheasant stood there, trembling all over.

Half of it was anger, and the other half—was a kind of indescribable, long-lost thrill.

She stared intently at Xu Feng's departing figure, unconsciously clenching the box containing the "Hundred-Refined Golden Body Pill" in her hand.

The fingertips turned slightly white from the force applied.

In her phoenix eyes, anger, killing intent, shock, shame, and a trace of bewilderment and trembling that even she herself was unaware of intertwined and collided.

What exactly does this Kaneki want to do?

Sending such precious elixirs and engaging in such frivolous and presumptuous behavior—is this truly the height of arrogance and ignorance?

Or is there another motive?

Recalling Xu Feng's words, "If Huan Cai can be your person, why can't I?"

Until Xu Feng's figure disappeared down the mountain.

Inside the Crimson Crystal Hall, the raging crimson flames slowly subsided.

Red Pheasant slowly sat back on her throne, her beautiful face still flushed with anger, and her breathing quickly calmed down.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the table beside her.

Finally, she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing all her chaotic emotions, and her usual cold and arrogant sneer reappeared on her face.

"You ignorant fool—"

She muttered a curse under her breath, but her tone was no longer as menacing as it had been at the beginning.

He looked down at the jade box in his hand, his fingertips tracing the cool surface of the box, feeling the alluring energy emanating from the pills inside.

There was silence for a moment.

The red pheasant ultimately did not throw out or destroy the jade box.

She snorted coldly and turned around.

With a flutter of crimson feathers, her figure disappeared behind the screen behind the throne.

A cold, mocking laugh seemed to dispel the absurd thoughts in his mind.

"Arrogant fool, delusional!"

But that back view seemed to have lost some of its previous absolute majesty, and gained a more elusive complexity.

soon.

The crimson hall returned to silence.

Xu Feng walked out of the main hall of Red Cloud Peak and stepped down the crimson crystal steps.

The elite members of Hongyun Peak on the platform had already retreated, watching him from afar with complex expressions.

Awe mingled with apprehension, yet no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Xu Feng remained calm, but secretly he was making plans.

He found the "Hundred-Refined Golden Body Pill" in a more secluded pill chamber deep within the ruins of the Pill Pavilion; there were only two in total.

This elixir is also useful to him.

-

His physical body had already been tempered to an extremely high level by the "New Compilation of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique," and what he needed even more was an understanding of "momentum" and laws.

Compared to other races, humans are ultimately physically weaker.

"If we could obtain the body-refining secrets of a higher-level alien god and modify them to suit the human race," Xu Feng thought with a smirk.

For a veteran powerhouse like the Red Pheasant, who is trapped in a bottleneck of physical limitations, the allure of this elixir is fatal.

Today's trip has three purposes: first, to resolve the conflict; second, to win over the Red Pheasant; and third... of course, to prepare for entering the Scripture Pavilion in the future to find the body-refining secret method.

The fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion is not to be entered lightly. He had already used his last chance, and if he wanted to go in again, he would probably have to start by asking Ling Feng or You Quan for rewards from this garrison mission.

What secret techniques could they seek, and what kind of secret techniques would be suitable? Xu Feng had no idea, and Xiao Feng knew even less.

Before entering, he had to ask someone, and that person had to be a master from another race.

Who could be a more suitable person to ask than the leader of one of the top three peaks, Red Pheasant?

The death of Huan Cai was merely a catalyst.

Xu Feng knew very well that Red Pheasant might not really care that much about Illusionary Colors.

He was merely a subordinate and vassal.

If she hadn't been killed by Xu Feng, Hong Zhi might have been willing to exchange a Body Refining Pill for her.

In the eyes of the peak masters of the first three peaks, the peak masters of the tenth peak and beyond are probably no different from tools.

The red pheasant was angry only because its dignity had been challenged.

But today, Xu Feng launched an attack on him from a different angle.

Then, he extended an olive branch with lavish gifts, and his final flippant and domineering act was deliberate, meant to stir up emotions.

Sometimes, starting with emotions is more effective at breaking down strong defenses than simply using force or exchanging benefits.

As for how the red pheasant will react—

Xu Feng looked northwest, towards the area where the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court squad was active, his gaze growing cold.

"The seeds have been planted; now it's time to meet the 'guests.'"

With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of pale golden light and raced towards the entrance of Shixia Valley.

As I pondered this, the mountain ahead became increasingly treacherous, and we were nearing the outer edge of the Shixia Valley entrance.

Upon returning to camp, Xu Feng immediately took Li Wen, leaving the others behind, and headed straight for the area where the Tianfeng Royal Court team had been spotted, as Xiao Feng had previously reported.

After traveling about ten miles, Xu Feng suddenly had a thought, and his figure suddenly stopped in the mountains, stopping on the top of a solitary peak.

Li Wen's gaze swept across the surroundings like lightning, finally stopping in a rugged valley shrouded in twilight to the northwest.

There's some noise.

Xu Feng nodded slightly: "Since you're here, why not show yourself?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly pierced through several miles and reached the valley with pinpoint accuracy.

The valley was deathly silent.

Only the mournful sound of the wind blowing through the jagged rocks could be heard.

However, Xu Feng only glanced down at the tactical watch that had quietly appeared in his hand, and he was able to take in all the changes in life energy within several miles around him.

As early as after Xiaofeng's report, Xu Feng contacted the Shadow Blade team to monitor the area around the valley.

The Shadow Blade squad even brought in an aerial surveillance platform specifically to support his operations.

At this moment, the surveillance system and detectors clearly sensed seven auras lurking among the shadows and rocks in that valley.

Three of them had actually reached the level of a supreme war god!

The other four are also at the peak of high-level war gods.

This lineup is no ordinary reconnaissance team.

Sure enough, a few breaths later.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A loud, boisterous laugh came from deep within the valley.

Three figures appeared first, slowly walking towards the mountain peak where Xu Feng was located in a triangular formation.

The leader was a "person" who was nearly three meters tall and had a robust, mountain-like build.

He was clad in dark gold heavy armor, carried a giant battle axe the size of a door panel on his shoulder, had a face full of scars, and eyes like copper bells.

His body emanated a powerful aura, as thick as the earth itself.

It was none other than Tuoba Lie, the "Rock King" of the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court!

On the left is a "person" with a thin build, wearing dark green leather armor, with two curved swords hanging at his waist, and a bronze mask on his face.

Although only a pair of cold eyes were visible, his aura was elusive, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

This is "Snake King" Mosang.

The "person" on the right is a female.

She was tall and voluptuous, wearing only simple leather armor, revealing large areas of bronze skin and dark brown feathers covering her body, with a large bow on her back.

The quiver contained seven bone arrows of different colors, and its eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

She is "Eagle King" Ulan.

A hundred feet behind the three, four other high-level war gods also quietly appeared, occupying positions in all four directions and forming a siege.

"Peak Master Jinpeng, what keen perception you have."

Tuoba Lie stopped a hundred meters in front of Xu Feng, his voice booming like a bell, causing the surrounding rocks to rustle.

He scrutinized Xu Feng intently, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

According to intelligence reports, this Kaneki is merely a newly promoted peak master.

But the person before him had a deep and unfathomable aura, which made even this "King-level Lord" feel a bit of pressure.
