Lu Feng followed the man to a grove of Xiezi Trees. Xiezi Trees were unique to swamp environments and relatively common vegetation; once mature, their growth rings could easily reach a diameter of two or three meters.
Although there were quite a few broad trees in the grove before them, they had all been artificially cut down, leaving behind only thick stumps.
The ground was still a vast swamp. The felled trees were nowhere to be seen, which showed just how terrifyingly deep the swamp in this area was.
The man leaped through the air and landed atop a tree stump in the grove, confronting a team not far away.
The team consisted of five people, four women and one man. They all wore black leather armor that wrapped their slender, graceful figures, making them look capable and free-spirited, somewhat like Soul Hunters on an outdoor mission.
Yet, judging by the long and short blades hanging at each of their waists, they were clearly no ordinary Soul Hunter group.
They appeared to be from the Light Feather Sect, one of the Eight Blade Sects. The sect's Light Feather Blade Technique primarily used dual blades.
Moreover, the leader was a cold-faced woman, which suited the Light Feather Sect's style. As their blade techniques favored agility and nimbleness, they had far more women in their ranks than the other Blade Sects.
"Elder Nie, please uphold justice for your disciple!"
The man Lu Feng had saved immediately dropped to his knees atop the stump before the woman in the center of the group.
Lu Feng's gaze followed naturally to the woman, and he could not help but be briefly surprised.
She looked no older than thirty, clearly much younger than the women beside her, who appeared to be in their forties or fifties.
