Chapter 675: Unexpected Action

675. Chapter 673: Unexpected Action

Thank you!

Yunfei said excitedly, "I will definitely exert my greatest strength in this operation!"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Believe in yourself; you have enough potential and talent."

Su Liyan looked at the tacit communication between Yunfei and Lu Yuan, and a warm feeling spontaneously arose in her heart.

She had never seen Lu Yuan value and support others so highly.

We also want to participate in this operation.

Su Liyan turned her gaze to Yunfei, "I hope we can support each other in battle and achieve victory."

Yunfei looked at this beautiful and determined woman before him, nodded, "Of course! I believe we will become an invincible team!"

At the edge of the South Cloud Realm, disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect engaged in fierce clashes with heretical forces.

Fire sparks flew everywhere, immortal arts danced, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in chaos.

Yue Feichen and Hua Xiying leaned tightly against the cave wall inside, their gazes solemn as they looked at the battle outside.

This operation is truly unexpected.

Yue Feichen let out a sigh, "We thought we could win, but we never expected that Nascent Soul Stage expert would actually sacrifice himself."

Hua Xiying remained silent, her heart filled with guilt.

If she had timely discovered the enemy Nascent Soul Stage expert's scheme back then, perhaps the situation would have been completely different.

It's a pity everything came too late.

We can only wait for the injuries to heal.

Yue Feichen struggled to raise his body, "First we must leave this place."

The cave interior was dim and cold, the blood-stained ground giving a sense of fear.

Yue Feichen took out a pill from his pocket and carefully swallowed it.

Immediately he also took out a small vial, inside which orange light shimmered.

That was precisely the Earth-Travel Spirit Flame Pill Lu Yuan had given him, a miraculous pill that could grant flight speed.

We must quickly find a safe place to recover from our injuries.

Yue Feichen clenched his fists, "I cannot let the Profound Heaven Sect suffer greater losses."

After two days of treatment and recuperation, Yue Feichen barely regained the ability to walk.

Hua Xiying expressed her gratitude to him, and gradually felt her affection for Yue Feichen growing stronger.

In a warm and sweet moment, Hua Xiying couldn't help but draw near to Yue Feichen, she whispered softly, "Feichen, you must take good care of your health; I cannot lose you."

Tears glistened in her eyes.

Yue Feichen softly comforted, "Xiying, I will become strong; we will get through all of this."

He gently held Hua Xiying's hand.

When Yue Feichen had fully recovered, he and Hua Xiying decided to return to the Profound Heaven Sect's location—Azure Wave Peak.

Their hearts were filled with concern and care for the sect.

However, when they returned to Azure Wave Peak, they found the situation in the South Cloud Realm had become even more severe.

Inside the Profound Heaven Sect, changes also occurred: the usually low-key Hall of Hundred Herbs member Shen Qingfeng was transferred to manage market affairs.

The senior brother Ji Yang, who had once been close to Yue Feichen, also underwent a complete 180-degree shift in his attitude toward him.

Shen Qingfeng bade farewell to the Profound Heaven Sect and prepared to go to the market; in this process he began to reassess the importance of the market to the entire cultivation world.

As he departed, Shen Qingfeng gazed at Azure Wave Peak, and various thoughts welled up in his heart.

He realized that the Profound Heaven Sect and the market are not independent entities but are closely interconnected.

"The market is the place with the most frequent exchanges and richest resources in the entire cultivation world."

"If we can control the market, there will be broader development opportunities in cultivation."

Shen Qingfeng pondered in his heart.

He decided to contribute his talents and experience to the market, hoping to drive the development of more cultivators while also seeking better opportunities for himself.

Shen Qingfeng led a team composed of several Profound Heaven Sect disciples, embarking on the journey toward South Cloud Market.

To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, they changed into ordinary attire and proceeded discreetly.

Along the way, the mountains and forests were lush and verdant, and birdsong could be heard from time to time.

Shen Qingfeng walked at the front of the team, leading everyone across mountains and streams.

His heart was filled with doubts and contemplation about the complex and tangled situation of the cultivation world.

"The market is the place with the most frequent exchanges and richest resources in the entire cultivation world."

Shen Qingfeng murmured softly, "But it is also the focal point of contention among the major sects."

He recalled his time managing the Hall of Hundred Herbs within the Profound Heaven Sect, having personally witnessed the major powers constantly contending, engaging in wits and courage.

This made him understand even more clearly the importance of the market to the entire cultivation world.

The disciples who followed along, though young, were all among the most promising and talented of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Every morning, they would gather during the march's intervals to exchange cultivation insights and experiences, growing together.

On the morning of a rest day, Shen Qingfeng brought five disciples to sit atop a mountain ridge.

From here, overlooking the entire cultivation world, mountain ranges undulated, and beneath the blue sky clouds drifted by from time to time.

Shen Qingfeng took a deep breath and relaxed his gaze upon the magnificent scenery before him.

"The market is the place with the most frequent traffic and richest resources in the cultivation world."

He said lightly, "Although we are merely a small team, through our own efforts we will also have the opportunity to carve out a place for ourselves there."

As his words fell, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded from all around.

Everyone looked up and saw a black cloud swiftly flying from afar.

Shen Qingfeng immediately listened closely and gestured for the team members to hide behind nearby rocks.

The black cloud drew nearer, and suddenly a beam of blood-red light shot out from within it.

"Blood Moon Sect!" a disciple exclaimed in a low voice.

Everyone instantly grew tense; they knew the Blood Moon Sect was the most terrifying evil cult in the cultivation world.

Shen Qingfeng's heart sank, and he reminded everyone to stay vigilant.

Seeing the blood-red light drawing ever closer, a disciple couldn't help but shout, "Senior brother, what should we do?"

Shen Qingfeng's eyes were firm and calm as he said, "We must not reveal ourselves lightly; change into ordinary clothing and proceed discreetly."

"According to the plan, we will choose a secluded place to rest every three days; before then, we cannot afford the slightest relaxation."

Everyone followed Shen Qingfeng's instructions, hastily changed into ordinary clothes, and quickly hid deep in the valley.

Upon arriving at South Cloud Market, Shen Qingfeng and his party immediately sensed that the atmosphere here was markedly different from elsewhere.

They stood on high ground and gazed afar at the prosperous scene of South Cloud Market; they saw the streets bustling with carriages and horses, a constant flow of people, lively and crowded.

As one proof of the profound influence of the Profound Heaven Sect in this region, the market possesses strong defensive measures and resource allocation.

They saw many guards and patrol units marching back and forth on the city walls, ensuring the city's safety.

Shen Qingfeng led the group to the city gate and presented the Profound Heaven Sect's distinctive identification token. (End of chapter)
