Chapter Summaries

Chen Feng revealed himself as an immortal cultivator and subdued Yue Yao, a princess of the Yue Kingdom, after she entered the Xingfeng Sect to rescue Jiang Hong.

• Yue Qianshan asked Chen Feng to spare Yue Yao and offered to apologize on her behalf.

Chen Feng negotiated with Yue Qianshan over Yue Yao’s release, then learned that immortal cultivators in Yingzhou refined living beings into Blood Food Spiritual Qi because the land’s Spirit Veins had withered. After discovering Yue Qianshan was at Qi Refining Eighth Layer, Chen Feng took Yue Yao’s jade pendant and left her imprisoned while he planned how to negotiate safely.

• After Yue Qianshan’s projection disappeared, Chen Feng bound Yue Yao and asked what Blood Food Spiritual Qi was.

• Lei Potian reached the Xingfeng Sect’s gate and deflected the defenders’ bullets with Gang Qi, then activated his flying sword with his blood.
• The defenders fired a rocket at Lei Potian’s flying sword, but it passed through the explosion and continued toward the watchtower.

Chen Feng negotiated with Yue Qianshan for a Law Technique, a storage Law Artifact, and 10,000 medicinal herbs or treasures at least 200 years old in exchange for Yue Yao. He sent Xingfeng Sect members to collect the goods and armed Wu Xing and other inner sect martial artists to protect the sect, then learned their ammunition supplies were low.

• Chen Feng failed to erase the Spiritual Sense on the Azure Secluded Sword and contacted Yue Qianshan through Yue Yao's jade pendant.
• Chen Feng rejected Blood Food Spiritual Qi and bargained with Yue Qianshan until they agreed on one Technique Method, one storage Law Artifact, and 10,000 old medicinal herbs or treasures for Yue Yao.

• Chen Feng summoned Wu Xing and other inner sect martial artists and gave them four light machine guns, three grenade launchers, and one Gatling gun to defend the Xingfeng Sect.
• Wu Xing reported that the sect had only 3,000 rifle rounds, 2,000 submachine gun rounds, twelve grenades, and seven rockets, so Chen Feng decided he needed to buy more ammunition.
