Loyal Doggy on Duty

"Woof woof woof!"

Ao Qing lay in the front hall, arching its body and baring its teeth at any stranger who approached the door.

It had completely immersed itself in the role.

Sometimes, it even forgot that it was the Heaven Devouring Demonic Wolf, truly dedicated to its duty.

Having followed Yi Feng for so long, the eighteen paintings in the front hall no longer evoked any hostility.

It was even a little proud of this fact.

This must be the Senior's recognition of me!

Just then, a gust of wind swept in. Ao Qing raised its head and saw a man in a cloak appear in front of the Martial Arts Hall.

Ao Qing's pupils constricted, and it sat up.

It could feel a palpable sense of hostility and pressure emanating from this person.

Jing Wufeng's sharp gaze scanned the surroundings. With a movement of his hand, Origin Energy spread out, causing him to frown. Why do I sense my junior brother Wuchen's aura here, yet I don't see him? And this Martial Arts Hall hasn't been razed...

It seems my junior brother is likely here!

His gaze narrowed slightly, his pupils locking onto the small Martial Arts Hall before him.

"Move aside, move aside, don't block the way."

Just then, a vendor pushing a cart passed by. Seeing Jing Wufeng blocking the road, he quickly shouted.

A fierce glint flashed in Jing Wufeng's eyes. He flicked his cloak, and the vendor let out a scream before disappearing entirely, leaving only an overturned cart on the ground.

"Hiss!"

Ao Qing was startled and, knowing it was no match for this person, quickly hid itself away.

"Ignorant mortal."

Jing Wufeng muttered disdainfully before walking towards the Martial Arts Hall. He didn't notice that he stepped on the Sky Shaking Stone and entered.

"Hm?"

"An anomaly?"

As soon as he entered, he felt a trace of strangeness emanating from the front hall. However, his expression didn't change. Instead, he moved his cloak to block in front of him.

"Hmph, just a petty Illusionary Technique. Nothing more."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed drastically. The eighteen weapon paintings suddenly emitted a golden light and surged towards him with world-destroying force.

"What?"

Sensing the destructive aura, his face turned ashen. He waved his cloak, transforming into a stream of light and charging towards the door.

Even though he was fast and escaped outside, he couldn't escape his fate. In an instant, he was obliterated, leaving nothing but his cloak fluttering in the air and a single bone falling to the ground.

Even this bone was a mutation resulting from Jing Wufeng practicing some peculiar cultivation technique; otherwise, not even ashes would have remained.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Ao Qing witnessed the entire scene, its eyes nearly popping out of its head, its heart leaping into its throat.

Truly terrifying!

Meanwhile, at the Baofeng Merchant Association, Yi Feng was still drinking with Yin Xiong and the others.

Yi Feng was happy.

He hadn't expected the Baofeng Merchant Association to give him another hundred thousand Gold Coins today.

Luolan Xue and the other woman, who had dealt with Peng Ying and Yu Wujie, stayed by Yi Feng's side throughout. Seeing that Yi Feng hadn't taken Yu Wujie's matter to heart, they sighed in their hearts that the Senior was indeed broad-minded, and felt a sense of relief.

Finally, after eating and drinking their fill, Yi Feng took his young disciple Zhong Qing home.

He didn't have them escort him. Instead, he took Zhong Qing to wander through the bustling market. After all, he had money now; why not spend it?

"Niece, are you sure everything is alright with today's events?" Yin Xiong asked Luolan Xue worriedly after Yi Feng had left.

"This Senior has always been broad-minded. Don't worry, even if something happens, our Qingshan Sect will handle it," Luolan Xue said softly, trying to comfort him.

Yin Xiong nodded. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "By the way, niece, Mr. Yi's books are incredibly popular lately. Many people are secretly inquiring about him. What do you think?"

Luolan Xue's pupils contracted slightly.

After a moment of thought, she said, "The Senior publishing books was just an experience, not for fame or fortune. He prefers peace and quiet, so you absolutely must not leak any information about him. If the Senior is disturbed, we would be unforgivable!"

Yin Xiong gasped.

He felt a chill of fear.

Indeed, many people were inquiring about Yi Feng's whereabouts, mostly out of admiration. He hadn't thought much of it before, but hearing Luolan Xue say it now, it was true.

Fortunately, I didn't leak the Senior's information.
