"what!"

Sun Lei was so frightened that he turned and ran away as fast as he could, shouting all the while.

"Brother Ba! Brother Ba! Something's happened!!"

Not far away, in a separate dormitory.

Wang Ba, who was meditating, was interrupted by the scream. His spiritual energy became chaotic, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stormed out of the dormitory in a fit of rage and leaped up the mountainside in a few bounds.

When he saw that the Ironscale Tiger he had spent so much effort to acquire had turned into a charred corpse emitting black smoke, his eyes instantly turned blood red.

"It's you!"

Wang Ba stared intently at Chu Feng, "You dared to kill my beast! I'll kill you!"

Before he finished speaking, he unleashed his full power at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and slammed his palm down hard towards Chu Feng's crown!

However, he was facing a true Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Chu Feng simply raised his hand and caught Wang Ba's determined palm strike with ease.

Wang Ba felt as if his palm had struck a piece of ancient black iron, and an unparalleled force rebounded, making the bones in his entire arm feel somewhat overwhelmed.

"Is that all you've got?"

Chu Feng snorted coldly and punched Wang Ba in the chest with his backhand.

"Bang!"

Wang Ba was sent flying backward, crashing into the iron beast shed behind him, bending and deforming the sturdy iron pillars.

He then slid to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

He stared at Chu Feng in disbelief, his eyes filled with horror.

"No...it's impossible...you...you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Chu Feng walked towards him step by step, his face devoid of any extra expression.

"I...I'm from the Wang family! My brother is an inner disciple! If you kill me, the Wang family will never let you get away with it!"

Wang Ba roared, his voice filled with bravado but his heart was filled with fear.

Chu Feng's steps did not falter in the slightest.

"When you set up your plot to kill me, why didn't you think of these things?"

He raised his hand, and a blade of spiritual energy condensed in his palm.

With a casual wave of his hand.

Wang Ba's pleas for mercy came to an abrupt end.

Just then, Wang Teng and another henchman, also dragged by Sun Lei, arrived at the scene, panting heavily.

What they witnessed was Wang Ba being cut in half at the waist.

The three reacted quickly, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

A foul stench emanated from their crotches, and they were so terrified they wet themselves.

"Spare me...spare me! Senior Brother Chu Feng! No! Grandpa Chu Feng!"

Sun Lei was the first to react, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, "It's all Wang Teng's fault! He forced me to do this! It has nothing to do with me!"

"No! It was your idea!" Wang Teng also pointed at Sun Lei and screamed.

Chu Feng looked at the three clowns making a fool of themselves, his gaze as cold as frost.

He raised his hand, and three blades of spiritual energy shot out, landing between the three people's eyebrows.

The screams completely disappeared.

A mountain wind blew by, and all around was deathly silent.

Chu Feng stood in the center of the battlefield and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

This was his first time killing someone.

However, the powerful sense of strength brought by the Foundation Establishment stage did not stir much emotion in his heart.

In this world of cultivation where human life is as worthless as grass, if you don't eradicate the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a white streak of light streaked across the sky.

The person who came was still as beautiful and refined as ever; it was none other than Yuexi, who had returned.

But at this moment, a hint of anxiety appeared on her pretty face.

Are you alright?

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"How did you find your way here?"

Yuexi's gaze swept quickly over the corpses on the ground, her brows furrowing slightly.

"I was just about to go back to my dorm when I heard a fighting going on, so I came over to check it out."

In fact, she had felt uneasy ever since she learned that Chu Feng had been taken away by Sun Lei.

It is common for outer disciples to fight to the death over resources and personal feelings.

Upon receiving the news, she rushed over as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, they arrived too late; those guys are probably out of danger of being resurrected.

Chu Feng looked at her, and he knew what was going on.

This woman has probably been secretly observing me all along.

However, he didn't point it out, he just shrugged.

Yuexi knew that things had escalated to this point, and it couldn't be resolved by simply walking away.

Although the Wang brothers were only outer disciples, this mountain peak eventually had an owner.

With so many people dead, there must be an official statement to settle the matter, otherwise the consequences will be dire.

She glanced at Chu Feng and whispered.

"You wait here and don't move. I'll go find someone to handle this."

"Who should I look for?"

Before Chu Feng could even ask, Yue Xi's figure had already transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

It took no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Yuexi's figure reappeared.

Beside her was a middle-aged man dressed in elder's robes with a dignified face.

This person is none other than Elder Zhou, the peak master of this mountain, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

As soon as Peak Master Zhou landed, his face darkened upon seeing the chaotic scene.

After Yuexi briefly explained the whole story, his expression changed repeatedly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

The Wang brothers were some of his more promising disciples, and he was naturally heartbroken to see them die like this.

But what he feared even more was the mysterious woman beside him who called herself Yueying.

Just as he was pondering, Yuexi suddenly spoke.

"Elder Zhou, this Junior Brother Chu Feng is someone I have some acquaintance with. I hope you can handle this matter impartially."

Her tone was gentle and calm, revealing no emotion.

But Zhou Fengzhu knew what was going on.

Although he didn't know who Yueying was, what she had just shown him was a jade pendant that represented her status as Feng Jiuyou's personal disciple.

For someone close to the patriarch to personally protect a disciple who came from humble beginnings, he didn't want to inadvertently intrude into the inner circle of the imperial family behind him.

Zhou Fengzhu coughed lightly, pretended to inspect the scene, and then made an announcement with a righteous expression.

"Upon my investigation, this matter was a treacherous scheme devised by Wang Ba, Wang Teng, and others, who premeditatedly plotted to harm their fellow disciples!"

"Chu Feng's disciple was forced to retaliate in self-defense, which is entirely legitimate!"

"The deaths of Wang Ba and the others were entirely their own fault; they have no one to blame but themselves!"

While Zhou Fengzhu was instructing his subordinates to handle the aftermath, Yuexi pulled Chu Feng aside.

"When...when did you achieve Foundation Establishment?"

Just a few days ago in Black Wind Forest, this man was clearly only at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining. How many days have passed?

Three or four days!

Even the most outstanding geniuses in a sect need a month or two of arduous training and preparation to progress from the peak of Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

How could he be so fast?

"Oh, this."

Seeing her horrified expression, Chu Feng chuckled inwardly and casually made up a story.

"I was walking the other day and accidentally fell off a cliff. I found a manual written by an old man, and that's how I broke through my limits. It was all luck, pure luck."

Moonlight: ...

Forget it, this man never tells the truth.

She stared intently at Chu Feng, deeply shocked.

The secrets and speed of this man's growth have far exceeded her imagination.

Feng Jiuyou is right. He is definitely the variable that can change his fate.

Soon, Master Zhou resolved everything and announced that the matter was over and would not be pursued further.

Chu Feng cupped his hands in thanks to him, then turned to prepare to descend the mountain.

Yuexi watched his slightly tired figure and silently followed him.
