Chapter 24: Reuniting with Xiao Yixian

As Lin Feng released his fighting technique again, only a 'Crack!' was heard from He Meng's body.

Immediately after, He Meng's true body beneath his protection collided with the Red Fire Palm with a boom.

'Peng!'

The tremendous force actually dented He Meng's chest inward, and his eyeballs also protruded sharply.

Moreover, the clothing on his back tore open, and a palm print quickly appeared on He Meng's back.

'Puff~'

He Meng's internal organs were directly shattered into powder by Lin Feng's strong battle qi.

Afterward, the internal organ fragments mixed with blood were forced into his mouth by the tremendous force, then gushed out.

Immediately after, his body flew backward at high speed until it smashed several tents, only then stopping.

'Third Regiment Leader!' the other mercenaries, seeing this, hurriedly took out healing medicine and gathered around.

After all, if the eight-star fighter He Meng were completely defeated, then these lower-ranked mercenaries would certainly not be able to escape either.

Approaching, the mercenaries saw the dent on He Meng's front chest, and their hearts immediately panicked.

A somewhat braver mercenary tremblingly reached his hand under He Meng's nose, then loudly shouted in panic, 'The Third Regiment Leader is dead—run fast!'

'Hehe, do you think you can get away?'

Seeing the mercenaries' actions, Lin Feng gave a soft cold laugh, then quickly chased after them...

Not long after, the remaining mercenaries were all killed by him.

He stripped He Meng's space ring, then after searching the other mercenaries' corpses, Lin Feng immediately turned and left, heading for Green Mountain Town.

He must hurry to meet up with Xiao Yixian, and then before Mu She learns that the two squads in the Magic Beast Mountain Range have been wiped out.

Launch a surprise attack on the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's main base, catching them off guard!

Once again walking through the bustling small town, he listened to the surrounding clamor.

Lin Feng, who had been isolated from human society for two months, couldn't help but sigh: humans are indeed a species that likes to live in groups.

If one were to let oneself stay alone in the wilderness for several decades, who knows if one would still be able to speak?

After turning a few streets, the clamor gradually faded, and Lin Feng slowly walked along this quiet little path.

Soon after, a rather distinctive little manor came into view.

At the manor's entrance, the defenses were quite strict, with more than ten fully armed guards standing guard.

Looking at those guards, Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow and subtly shifted his gaze.

Turning to the manor's side, after cautiously peeking, he silently climbed in.

Sneaking into the manor, Lin Feng carefully avoided some patrolling guards.

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

After evading several waves of patrols, Lin Feng successfully arrived at a rather quiet room.

Quietly approaching the front, he discovered that four guards were standing at the entrance.

Although these four appeared to be on guard duty, their occasional glances toward the room made it seem like they were monitoring it.

Seeing this situation, Lin Feng immediately concluded that this was Xiao Yixian's room.

'It seems her days haven't been easy, but this conveniently fits my plan.'

Lin Feng gave a light chuckle, then went around to the back of the room.

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

Soon after, his hand felt along the window frame, and he cautiously lowered himself to slip inside.

His feet silently touched the floor, and Lin Feng curiously gazed at this room, arranged to be quite tranquil and distinctive.

He felt a sense of admiration, and inside the room, a faint medicinal fragrance seemed to permeate the air.

Lin Feng quickly realized this was a poison, and hastily held his breath.

He swept his gaze, and behind the pink curtains, Lin Feng could see a blurry figure.

He stepped forward a few paces, lifted the curtain, and his gaze poured in.

On a small stand, a woman in white robes was carefully preparing medicinal powder with her head lowered.

Occasionally she would use a tiny crystal rod to pick up a bit of powder, then gently sniff it beneath her delicate nose.

After blending in a bit more powder, the woman in white seemed to notice something and suddenly lifted her head.

However, when her gaze swept over that smiling youthful face, the chill in her eyes gradually faded.

Her gaze swept past the doorway, and she lightly waved at Lin Feng.

Smiling, he walked to the small stand, sat cross-legged, and lightly laughed, saying, 'Back then you didn't heed my advice, and now I've been proven right?'

'Hmph.' Recalling what she had said that day, Xiao Yixian gave a soft hum.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she tugged at her jade nose and stubbornly said, 'I never imagined people's hearts could be so treacherous. After the Mu Wolf Head Mercenary Group spread the news of that cave, the mercenaries in Green Mountain Town whom I once saved, upon hearing that I might possess a Mysterious Tier battle technique in my hand, not only disregarded my life-saving kindness, but day after day dreamed of obtaining that illusory high-level battle technique from me.'

Saying this, she gave Lin Feng a sideways glance, seeming to blame him for bringing up the matter.

Immediately after, recalling something, she swiftly rose to her feet.

Taking a few quick steps to Lin Feng's side, she gently shook her jade-like finger and whispered, 'Don't speak first.'

Next, Xiao Yixian produced a small jade bottle from her bosom.

Then she dripped a drop of pale red liquid from it, and finally took Lin Feng's palm, gently smearing it on.

Watching Xiao Yixian attentively applying the substance to her own palm, Lin Feng lightly laughed and said, 'Is this the antidote for the poison mist permeating your room?'

'Eh, you noticed?'

Xiao Yixian exclaimed in surprise, and after finishing the application, she lowered Lin Feng's hand and looked at him somewhat astonished.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Lin Feng confidently said, 'Don't you remember? I am an alchemist; although I haven't specially studied poisons, I can still guess a bit from the properties of the medicinal ingredients you used.'

'That's right.' Xiao Yixian, upon recalling Lin Feng's identity as an alchemist, immediately understood.

Immediately, her eyes fixed on Lin Feng, she laughed and said: 'You came this time especially to save me?'

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng took a small step forward, gazing at Xiao Yixian, who stood gracefully just under ten centimeters away.

Lin Feng's eyes met hers, inhaling her fragrance, he smiled and teased: 'Of course, how could I bear to let a great beauty like you suffer here?'

Tilting her head slightly, Xiao Yixian rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks, pursed her lips, and said irritably: 'You're not serious; you even wanted to slash my face with a knife in the Magic Beast Mountain Range—I don't believe your nonsense. Speak, what business do you have coming to find me?'

"Hehe, that was just because we weren't acquainted yet," he said, a little embarrassed, scratching the back of his head.

Immediately after, Lin Feng's expression turned solemn as he continued: 'This time I came to settle the score with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and I hope you can help me.'
