Reuniting with Xiao Yi Xian

As Lin Feng unleashed another Fighting Skill, a sharp crack rang out from He Meng's body.

Immediately after, He Meng's true body beneath his defenses collided head-on with the Crimson Fire Palm.

Bang.

The tremendous force caved in He Meng's chest, and his eyeballs bulged violently from their sockets.

The clothes on his back tore apart, and a handprint rapidly appeared there.

Pfft—

Lin Feng's powerful battle qi directly shattered He Meng's internal organs.

Then, fragments of his organs mixed with blood were forced into his mouth by the immense pressure before bursting out.

His body was sent flying backward at high speed, only coming to a stop after smashing through several tents.

"Third Group Leader!" Seeing this, the other mercenaries hurriedly took out Healing Pills and rushed over.

After all, if He Meng, an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner, was completely defeated, then mercenaries of lower ranks like them would certainly be unable to escape either.

As they drew closer and saw the depression in He Meng's chest, the mercenaries immediately panicked.

One slightly braver mercenary tremblingly reached a hand beneath He Meng's nose, then shouted in terror, "The Third Group Leader is dead! Run!"

"Heh, can you run?"

Seeing the mercenaries' movements, Lin Feng gave a soft, cold laugh before swiftly chasing after them.

Before long, he had killed all the remaining mercenaries as well.

After taking He Meng's Storage Ring and searching the other mercenaries' corpses, Lin Feng turned and headed toward Qingshan Town.

He had to reunite with Xiao Yi Xian as quickly as possible, then launch a surprise attack on the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's headquarters before Mu She learned that the two teams in the Monster Mountain Range had been wiped out.

Walking through the crowded town once more and listening to the clamor around him, Lin Feng, who had been cut off from civilization for two months, could not help but sigh. Humans truly were creatures who enjoyed living in groups.

If he were left alone in the wilderness for several decades, would he still know how to speak?

After turning through several streets, the noise gradually faded. Lin Feng slowly walked down a quiet path.

A moment later, a rather elegant little estate appeared before him.

Security at the estate entrance was quite tight, with more than ten fully armed guards stationed there.

Looking at those guards, Lin Feng frowned slightly and shifted his gaze.

He made his way to the side of the estate and, after carefully looking around, silently climbed inside.

After slipping into the estate, Lin Feng cautiously avoided several patrolling guards.

After observing for a while, he headed in the direction with the most guards.

After evading several more patrols, Lin Feng successfully arrived outside a rather secluded room.

As he quietly approached, he found four guards standing at the door.

Although the four appeared to be guarding the place, the occasional glances they cast toward the room looked more like surveillance.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was certain that this was Xiao Yi Xian's room.

"Looks like she hasn't had an easy time lately. Still, that works perfectly for my plan."

With a quiet laugh in his heart, Lin Feng circled around to the back of the room.

Behind the room was a lake. Lin Feng carefully stood at the edge of the wooden railing, then slowly moved toward the open window.

A moment later, he felt along the window frame with his hand and carefully bent down to slip inside.

His feet silently touched the floor. Lin Feng curiously looked around the room, which had been arranged with a tranquil elegance.

As he silently admired it, he noticed that the room seemed to be permeated with a medicinal fragrance.

Lin Feng quickly realized that it was poisonous and immediately held his breath.

Sweeping his gaze around, he could see a hazy, graceful figure behind the pink curtains.

He took a few steps forward, lifted the curtains, and looked inside.

At a small table, a woman in a white dress was lowering her head as she carefully prepared medicinal powder.

Every so often, she would use a small crystal rod to pick up a little powder and gently sniff it beneath her delicate nose.

After mixing in another bit of medicinal powder, the woman in white seemed to sense something and abruptly raised her head.

Yet when her gaze landed on the smiling face of the young man, the chill in her eyes slowly faded.

She glanced toward the door, then lightly beckoned to Lin Feng.

Smiling, Lin Feng walked to the small table and sat down cross-legged. He chuckled. "You didn't listen to my advice back then. Turns out I was right, didn't I?"

"Hmph." Remembering what he had said that day, Xiao Yi Xian gave a soft snort.

She wrinkled her delicate nose awkwardly and stubbornly replied, "I just didn't expect people's hearts to be so sinister. After the Mu Wolf Head Mercenary Group spread news of that cave, the mercenaries in Qingshan Town whom I had saved heard that I might possess a Mysterious Tier Cultivation Method and Fighting Skill. They actually ignored the debt they owed me for saving their lives and spent every day thinking about getting those illusory high-tier cultivation methods and Fighting Skills from me."

As she spoke, she shot Lin Feng a glare, seemingly blaming him for bringing it up.

Then, as though remembering something, she quickly stood up.

In a few quick steps, she came to Lin Feng's side, lightly waved a jade-like finger, and whispered, "Don't say anything yet."

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yi Xian took a small jade bottle from her robes.

She dripped out a drop of pale red liquid, then took Lin Feng's hand and gently applied it to his palm.

Watching Xiao Yi Xian intently rub the liquid onto his hand, Lin Feng chuckled. "Is this the antidote to the poisonous mist you've filled the room with?"

"Huh? You noticed?"

Xiao Yi Xian cried out in surprise. After finishing, she released Lin Feng's hand and looked at him with some astonishment.

Looking at the beauty before him, Lin Feng said confidently, "Did you forget? I'm an Alchemist. Though I haven't specifically studied poisons, I can still infer a little from the properties of the Medicinal Herbs you used."

"That's true." Remembering Lin Feng's identity as an Alchemist, Xiao Yi Xian immediately understood.

Then, staring at Lin Feng with both eyes, she smiled. "Did you come specifically to save me this time?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng took a small step forward and looked at Xiao Yi Xian, who stood prettily less than ten centimeters away.

Meeting her gaze and breathing in her fragrance, Lin Feng smiled teasingly. "Of course. How could I bear to let such a great beauty suffer here?"

Tilting her little head slightly, Xiao Yi Xian rubbed her faintly flushed cheeks, curled her lips, and said irritably, "You're never serious. You were going to use a knife to cut my face in the Monster Mountain Range before. I don't believe your nonsense. Tell me, what did you come looking for me for?"

"Hehe, that was because we weren't familiar with each other back then." Lin Feng scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

Then Lin Feng's expression became solemn as he continued, "This time, I want to settle the score with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group once and for all. I hope you can help me."
