Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Seeing this, Lin Feng felt a trace of helplessness and regret rise in his heart.

He saw that Niu Dage spoke straightforwardly and did things reliably, and originally thought he could become a friend.

But unexpectedly, the other party was a villain who specialized in robbing in remote places.

This Southern Region Ice Plains truly hides danger everywhere.

The man on the left waved his cleaver and said viciously: "Kid, be sensible and hand over all the valuable things on you!

This Lie Feng Valley is our territory; daring to come here seeking treasure, you must leave a toll!"

The man on the right also chimed in, his tone even more fierce: "That's right!

Looking at your fine clothes, you must be hiding quite a few good things on you!

Hurry up and hand them over, otherwise don't blame us three brothers for being rude, throwing you to feed the snow wolves on the ice plains!"

Niu Hongxi walked to the two men's side, his face no longer bearing the previous friendliness, replaced by greed and ferocity: "Little Brother Lin, don't blame me for not being righteous.

On these ice plains, the weak are prey to the strong — that's the rule.

You're an outsider carrying so many valuable things; if I don't rob you, who would I rob?

Hurry up and hand everything over, and perhaps you'll still have a way to live!"

Lin Feng looked at the three men's ferocious appearances, his face showing not the slightest fear, but instead he lightly shook his head: "Why bother?"

Hearing this, the man on the left grinned hideously, raised his pig-killing knife and charged at Lin Feng: "Kid, looks like you're not afraid of death!"

Lin Feng's eyes turned cold, his figure unmoving, merely waving his hand casually.

An invisible wind blade formed, slashing across the man's neck like lightning.

Pfft!

With a light sound, the man's head fell directly to the ground, fresh blood spurting from the severed neck, splashing all over the companion beside him.

The two men froze instantly, the ferocious expressions on their faces solidifying, replaced by unbelievable horror.

They didn't see clearly what Lin Feng did, and their companion was already decapitated.

The man on the right was scared into trembling all over, his hand holding the cleaver trembling non-stop, unable to even stand steady: "You... you..."

Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to waste words with him, waving his hand casually once more.

Another wind blade swept past, and this man's head also fell.

Fresh blood dyed the ice and snow on the ground red, red and white reflecting each other, exceptionally glaring.

In just an instant, two companions were slain, leaving only Niu Hongxi alone. He looked at the rolling heads on the ground, then at the fresh blood splashed on his own body, his legs went soft, "thud" he knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling violently: "You... you're an Immortal!"

Originally thought the person before him was a wealthy young master who liked expeditions.

Never expected his background was extraordinary, unexpectedly a cultivator.

Lin Feng said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, would I dare come here alone?"

Niu Hongxi's face turned pale, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, wailing and begging for mercy: "Immortal spare my life!

Immortal spare my life!

This lowly one has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, shouldn't have been greedy for the Immortal's things!

This lowly one knows his wrong, begs the Immortal to spare this lowly one's dog life!"

Lin Feng looked down at him from above, his gaze gradually turning cold: "You don't know you're wrong, you know you're going to die!"

One sentence instantly pierced through Niu Hongxi's fluke mentality.

The kowtowing motion paused, the blood color on his face thoroughly drained, his eyes leaving only despair.

Lin Feng's voice carried not a shred of emotion: "The ice plains are treacherous; excessive injustice inevitably brings self-destruction.

However many travelers you've robbed, however many lives you've harmed, today you'll repay with your life."

Finished speaking, he waved his hand again, a wind blade flew out, directly ending Niu Hongxi's life.

After dealing with the three, Lin Feng's mind moved, controlling the cold wind to roll the three corpses out of the valley; before long they were buried by ice and snow.

Immediately after, his gaze turned toward the depths of Lie Feng Valley.

The wind spiritual energy inside the valley was dense, the wind vortex slowly rotating.

Lin Feng found a position with the densest spiritual energy and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.

The cultivation method he cultivated was the "Sorrowful Wind Technique" of the Qiu Family of Sorrowful Wind Cliff.

This was something his master spent no small resources to obtain, belonging to an Earth-grade cultivation method.

With a slight circulation, the wind spiritual energy inside Lie Feng Valley seemed to have found a vent, crazily pouring into his Qi Sea, beginning to temper his Earth-grade Golden Core.

The innate wind intent inside the valley also slowly fused into his spiritual root, making his understanding of the Wind Law become even more thorough.

Outside the valley wind and snow continued as before, while inside the valley Lin Feng was completely immersed in cultivation, utterly unaware of everything in the outside world.

……

……

Dongting Immortal Sect.

Spirit Field Core Management Office.

Xu Zhangqing, Zhao Ziyue, Li Sancai and others gathered together.

Hu Bugui wore a plain robe, beside him stood his Dao Companion Lin Xiaoyan, on the other side was their daughter Hu Ning, nickname Huo Huo.

In Huo Huo's arms she held a fluffy snow-white spirit rabbit; this was a companion spirit pet Hu Bugui specially sought out for her.

The flying ship hovered in the air, ready to set off at any moment.

Xu Zhangqing took out a bottle of spirit wine and handed it to Hu Bugui: "Lao Hu, the journey to Yanguang Sect is long; take this jar of Qinglan Drunk with you."

Once you arrive at Yanguang Sect, if you encounter any difficulties, just send word back."

Hu Bugui accepted the spirit wine, his eyes full of reluctance: "Lao Xu, Lao Zhao, San Cai Senior Brother, these years I have been cared for by you all; I will always keep this friendship in my heart."

Zhao Ziyue picked up his wine cup, filled it, and raised it toward Hu Bugui: "Lao Hu, no need for too many polite words."

I drink to you, may your journey be smooth!"

"Drink it!"

Hu Bugui also filled his cup, clinked it with Zhao Ziyue's, tilted his head back, and drained it in one gulp.

The pungent spirit wine went down his throat, turning into a warm current that spread, but could not wash away the feeling of parting.

Li Sancai, not good with words, said lightly: "Take care!"

Hu Bugui smiled and nodded: "Mm!"

Lin Xiaoyan rubbed her daughter's head: "Huo Huo, quickly say goodbye to the uncles."

Hu Ning looked up, blinked her round eyes, then shouted to Xu Zhangqing and the others: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Li, goodbye!"

After speaking, she also waved her hand.

The spirit rabbit in her arms also seemed to half-understand and twitched its ears.

Xu Zhangqing took a jade talisman from his storage bag and handed it over: "Huo Huo, this is a protective jade talisman; when you encounter danger, crush it, and it can block an attack from a Golden Core Cultivator."

Be good and follow your parents; don't be mischievous anymore."

Huo Huo took the jade talisman and gripped it tightly in her hand: "Thank you, Uncle Xu!"

Lin Xiaoyan made a curtsy to everyone: "These years, thank you all for your care!"

Hu Bugui glanced at the sky, took a deep breath: "Lao Xu, Lao Zhao, San Cai Senior Brother, it's getting late; we should set off."

Upon hearing this, the reluctance on everyone's faces grew stronger.

Hu Bugui cupped his hands to everyone: "Until we meet again!"

Xu Zhangqing and the others also cupped their hands: "Until we meet again!"

Immediately, Hu Bugui took Huo Huo's hand, and together with Lin Xiaoyan leaped onto the flying ship; before parting, he turned back and waved to everyone.

With a flash of spirit light, the flying ship flew toward the distance.

Xu Zhangqing, Zhao Ziyue, and Li Sancai remained silent for a long time.

The spirit wine still gave off its fragrance, but Hu Bugui's figure had already vanished.

For a moment, a sense of loss surged in the hearts of Xu Zhangqing and Zhao Ziyue.

Previously, although everyone belonged to different districts, in their leisure time they could always gather to drink tea, chat, or discuss cultivation insights, meeting anytime and anywhere.

But now that Hu Bugui has left, meeting again in the future will not be so convenient.

Xu Zhangqing turned to look at Zhao Ziyue beside him and asked: "Lao Zhao, what are your plans next?"

Zhao Ziyue's tone carried a hint of melancholy: "My mother doesn't have much time left, so I'm preparing to return to my hometown to keep her company."

Xu Zhangqing comforted him: "In the mortal world, people who live to a hundred years are not many."

Zhao Ziyue smiled: "After I accompany my mother through her final stretch, I will go out for experience training."

The world is so vast; there are always rivers, lakes, and seas I have not visited!
