On the distant spirit boat, four figures descended.
Among them, a pale-faced, tall, and frail-looking middle-aged man was unmistakably recognized by Lu Changsheng.
"Feiyu?"
Lu Changsheng’s expression turned to one of shock and bewilderment upon seeing this middle-aged man.
This trip to Azure Phoenix Immortal City was to clear ill-gotten gains, claim spoils of war, and purchase heavenly and earthly treasures. He had also hoped to drop by and check on Li Feiyu.
To see if Li had been affected by the recent upheaval in Azure Phoenix Immortal City.
Especially since there had been no word from him since the great upheaval and bloodshed in Azure Phoenix Immortal City.
Unexpectedly, Li Feiyu was here.
His current condition seemed very off, like a prisoner, his plexion and aura discordant with the other three.
"Hmm?"
The leader among the four who had just disembarked from the spirit boat was an elder in a yellow robe, with a child-like face, majestic looks, and a tall frame.
The moment he looked up at Lu Changsheng, who was surrounded by bright stars in the sky above, his gaze met Lu Changsheng’s.
"A Nascent Soul Cultivator!?"
White Peak Immortal, noticing Lu Changsheng looking in his direction, became alert and exuded an intangible aura of authority.
He had important business in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range this trip.
The appearance of Lu Changsheng at this time made him doubt the coincidence.
However, he did not take the initiative to attack.
This was the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
If the two were to clash, it could attract a Third Rank Demon King, or reveal the affairs of the Ancient Relic Site, leading to a host of troubles and plications.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng merely watched them without making a move, White Peak Immortal withdrew his gaze and said to the two behind him: "Be cautious."
"Yes."
The two nodded in agreement, while Li Feiyu beside them remained expressionless like a puppet.
The four cautiously headed in the direction of the Ancient Relic Site.
White Peak Immortal kept a vigilant eye on Lu Changsheng in the sky.
"What has happened to Feiyu?"
Lu Changsheng watched the four figures disappearing from view, with a slightly concentrated expression, not acting rashly.
The four veiled their Cultivation Base Aura.
But with his Awakening Taichi Soul Body and Divine Sense parable to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator at the peak, he could roughly discern their conditions.
The leader in the yellow robe was a Nascent Soul Immortal.
The two behind, one was a False Core Cultivator, the other at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Such a force was not to be underestimated anywhere.
Yet now, the three of them were here in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range with a listless Li Feiyu, which was quite bizarre.
"Could it be..."
Lu Changsheng looked in the direction of the four, thoughtfully, and took out the map of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range provided by Venerable Huxiao to pare.
After a long examination, Lu Changsheng lowered his gaze to Bing’er, who was holding onto him tightly, occasionally rubbing her little head against his chest, and gently asked, "Bing’er, are you sleepy?"
"Daddy, not sleepy!"
Bing’er immediately lifted her little head, her clear, unblemished eyes sparkling brightly as she spoke spiritedly.
"No, you are sleepy, you need to rest."
Lu Changsheng pinched her cold, delicate cheek and continued.
"Um, alright, Bing’er will go to sleep then."
Upon hearing this, Bing’er pouted slightly but obediently plied.
"Good girl."
Lu Changsheng descended, released the crystal coffin, let Bing’er lie down in it, then closed the lid and placed the coffin back into the Spiritual Pet Bag.
While it would be alright to place the coffin directly into the Storage Ring with the crystal coffin being present, the Spiritual Pet Bag was still a safer option.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng’s Fate-Defying Robe flowed with an invisible gloss;his entire being seemed to merge with the void as he stealthily pursued in the direction of the departing foursome.
Though the four were far from him,
with the acute perception of the Taichi Divine Soul, Lu Changsheng was still able to catch traces of lingering aura in the air and roughly discern the direction of the four.
However, considering the leader in the yellow robe was a Nascent Soul Immortal, Lu Changsheng remained very cautious and kept a safe distance.
As he continued to delve deeper into the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, days later, Lu Changsheng saw what seemed to be a towering cliff in front of the valley. His eyes narrowed as he murmured, "Indeed, it’s for this Ancient Relic Site."
Previously, Lu Changsheng had guessed that the three bringing Li Feiyu to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range might be related to the treasure map of the Ancient Relic Site he had obtained from a Robber Cultivator in his early years.
After all, Li Feiyu was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Other than this Ancient Relic Site, what place would warrant a true Nascent Soul Immortal’s personal visit to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
Now, seeing the terrain around him somewhat resembling that recorded on the treasure map, Lu Changsheng felt more certain about his guess.
"Feiyu has been working in Azure Phoenix Immortal City all this time;now that the Azure Phoenix Immortal has disappeared and the city is under the control of White Peak Immortal... Could this yellow-robed elder be White Peak Immortal?"
Lu Changsheng’s gaze sharpened as he pondered inwardly.
In the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, there are not many Nascent Soul Immortals, and most have well-known reputations.
Since the major purge in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, the Nascent Soul Immortal conspicuous in his public position is White Peak Immortal, who has challenged Azure Phoenix Immortal multiple times before.
There are rumors that this White Peak Immortal is associated with Yue Country’s Immortal Sects’ forces.
He is said to be the figure Yue Country put forward to publicly divide the spoils of the Immortal City. Even Azure Phoenix Immortal City was renamed to White Peak Immortal City.
Just that all the Cultivators had gotten used to the name ’Azure Phoenix Immortal City’, and it wasn’t easy to change the habit so quickly;it was still monly referred to as Azure Phoenix Immortal City.
"If this person is indeed White Peak Immortal, then it’s not simple."
Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.
Even though White Peak Immortal was once defeated by Azure Phoenix Immortal in three strikes,
as a veteran Core Formation, now openly controlling Azure Phoenix Immortal City, certainly is out of ordinary.
Trying to rescue Li Feiyu under such circumstances would not be simple.
But seeing the Ancient Relic Site right in front of him, Lu Changsheng also sped up.
