Things did not go as Zhou Feng had imagined.
After Yan Chunsheng and the other two realized he was no pushover, they immediately chose to back down.
They had no intention of intercepting him outside the market.
"They didn't come?"
Zhou Feng immediately realized he had been taking things for granted. The Gu cultivation world seemed to be an exceedingly cautious place.
Perhaps because all manner of strange Gu insects emerged one after another, everyone was extremely wary.
No matter who they faced, they would not make a move right away.
In truth, Medicine King Valley had not necessarily intended to subdue Zhou Feng.
An alchemist capable of endlessly refining pills would certainly not lack cultivation resources.
Who knew how many hidden methods he possessed?
First, they would issue a warning. Then, they would gradually squeeze Ouyang Qian and Zhou Feng's room to survive.
Ideally, they would force Zhou Feng into negotiations. That was Medicine King Valley's plan.
Unfortunately, Zhou Feng only knew how to charge straight in, which had created the current situation.
Seeing that no one from Medicine King Valley had pursued him, Zhou Feng could only slowly return to Seven Colors Mountain.
At this time, Seven Colors Mountain had undergone another tremendous change. The foot of the mountain was covered in Blood-colored Ghost Face Flowers bristling with thorns.
These Ghost Face Flowers were highly aggressive and would attack every living creature that approached.
Screaming Vines grew alongside them. The Screaming Vines had no offensive power, but they were extremely sensitive. At the slightest disturbance, they would emit a piercing shriek.
With the two paired together, anyone approaching the people atop the mountain would be discovered immediately.
Ouyang Qian had cultivated all of this with the help of the Greenwood Gu.
