Chapter 125: Chapter 126: Seeing Feng Wuxie Again

Translator: 549690339

Li Xiaobai, looking baffled, only fueled Feng Wuxie’s anger, and he decided to lay his cards on the table.

“Junior Brother Li, I never intended to befriend you. I have always wanted to kill you, just never found the opportunity. Originally, killing you was merely for my selfish desire to seize the treasures you possess. But now, our sect has fallen into jeopardy because of you, and only your death would benefit everyone.”

Li Xiaobai was taken aback, not understanding what Feng Wuxie meant. The Senior Brother actually wanted to kill him.

“Senior Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand a word you’re saying. Why would the sect be in danger because of me?”

“You’ve caused trouble outside, taking the belongings of some powerful senior. Now, they’ve come knocking, and the entire Immortal Feather Sect is under their control. To resolve this issue, we need to bring you back to the sect.”

“Even if you’re at the Nascent Soul Stage, I still have ways to bring you back to the sect. Prepare to face punishment!”

Feng Wuxie didn’t even give Li Xiaobai a chance to speak. With a flick of his wrist, a glittering brass mace materialized in his hand.

With a surge of his cultivation technique, the two sea dragons engraved on the mace seemed to come to life, rushing towards Li Xiaobai in unison.

“Roar!”

The formidable sea dragon phantoms pressured Li Xiaobai, their might entwining around his body. Meanwhile, Feng Wuxie burned a talisman in his hand, and both of them vanished from the shop in an instant.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, without any cultivators noticing the scene.

[Attribute Points +1000…]

Outside the sect’s main gate, Li Xiaobai snapped out of it, realizing the situation. His impersonation of Zhang Rui had been discovered by the straw-cloaked man, who had now directly come for him.

But on second thought, it made sense. Since Zhang Rui possessed the Blood Spirit Bead, there was obviously some connection with evil cultivators. A simple investigation would reveal he was bluffing.

Only, he didn’t expect them to find him so swiftly. He hadn’t fully powered up yet and was still vulnerable to attacks from someone at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

According to Feng Wuxie, the Immortal Feather Sect had just been taken over by an evil cultivator. There shouldn’t be any major issues in the short term, and he certainly had to save the sect, but now was not the best time.

Muscle Flaccidity activated!

The two sea dragons entangling him instantly weakened, limply collapsing onto the ground.

“Not this move again! What kind of treasure are you hiding that can even affect the golden sea dragons?”

Feng Wuxie’s pupils contracted, filled with even greater rage. Why couldn’t such fortuitous encounters ever happen to him?

“Senior Brother Feng, I understand the situation now. Indeed, it arose because of me. I will definitely save Immortal Feather Sect. Please give me a bit more time, and I swear I will personally slay those evil cultivators!” Li Xiaobai said.

Although Feng Wuxie wanted to kill him, it was out of concern for the safety of the sect, and the problem really was Li Xiaobai’s own. Getting beaten as punishment seemed fair.

“Boastful words! With your cultivation level barely at the Nascent Soul Stage, do you really think you can kill those evil cultivators?”

“The future Sect Leader of Immortal Feather Sect will definitely be me. I will take you back to the sect now to dissolve this grudge!”

Feng Wuxie’s hands moved in a spell, and the sea dragons on the ground revived, eyeing Li Xiaobai with vigilance and bloodthirst.

“Senior Brother Feng, let me go back and discuss strategies with a few other brothers and sisters. Afterwards, we’ll accompany you to Immortal Feather Sect together. Can you give us that chance?” Li Xiaobai said. Feng Wuxie had good intentions for the sect, and Li didn’t want to resort to force.

“It seems you place great confidence in the treasure you possess, believing it can make you stronger in a short time?” Feng Wuxie stared at Li Xiaobai as he spoke.

“Correct,” nodded Li Xiaobai.

“Okay, I’ll give you three days. Don’t play any tricks; I’ll be following you the whole time!” Feng Wuxie said ominously.

“Rest assured, Senior Brother, there is no hurdle too high. Let’s have a Huazi first.”

…

Atop Misty Peak, Li Xiaobai returned to the summit, and Feng Wuxie true to his word, followed him everywhere he went. It was not just because of the sect’s affairs; he was more eager to find out what kind of treasure Li Xiaobai possessed.

Along the way, the so-called Huazi were so magical that, after a few Huazis, he almost touched the threshold of the Half-step Nascent Soul.

He launched several sneak attacks along the way, but sadly, he still lacked the ability to contend with Li Xiaobai. No matter what kind of Cultivation Technique or moves he used, they all seemed pale and powerless in the face of those strange methods.

This left him feeling somewhat dejected; he had thought his progress was fast, but it seemed that the gap between him and Li Xiaobai was still widening.

The atmosphere on Misty Peak was a bit strange. Yuan Fang seemed to have been waiting on the summit early on. Seeing Li Xiaobai, he hurriedly approached: “Peak Master, we have guests at Misty Peak.”

Yuan Fang looked somewhat uneasy. Li Xiaobai asked, “Who is it?”

“A True Disciple, Senior Brother Yue, and the brother of the disciple you chased away last time for collecting protection money, Inner Sect Disciple Xu Kun, has also come.”

As soon as Li Xiaobai heard this, he understood that those he had offended had all arranged to come and create trouble. It looked like they had seen him successfully tied to the menial disciple’s mountain and wanted to come over and oppress him first.

Within the sect, one could use their position to oppress others, and with Senior Brother Yue’s identity and status higher than his own, he was supposed to show servility.

However, today my mood is not good. I just heard that the Immortal Feather Sect had a problem, and now you come to cause trouble for me, there’s no discussion; today, no matter what your purpose is, walking down the mountain unscathed is unlikely!

Li Xiaobai’s eyes sparkled coldly as he headed straight for the reception hall.

In the reception hall, several senior brothers and sisters had already arrived. Xu Kun was diligently serving tea and water, with Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian standing behind him. Senior Brother Yue sat leisurely in the middle, savoring his tea.

He was only there for Li Xiaobai and didn’t care about the other senior brothers and sisters.

Su Yunbing and the others didn’t know his purpose and didn’t want to rashly drive him away.

“Senior Brother Yue, this junior has arrived late. May I ask what brings Senior Brother here today?”

“Heh, Junior Brother, I heard your former sect was called the Immortal Feather Sect. Have you been back lately?” Yue Fan asked with a faint smile.

“What do you mean by that, Senior Brother?” Li Xiaobai frowned, sensing an ominous premonition.

“It must not be pleasant to have your entire sect become hostages, is it, Junior Brother Li Xiaobai?”

With that statement, the atmosphere in the great hall suddenly became oppressive, and everyone fell silent.

The mere mention of ‘Li Xiaobai’ was enough to reveal everything; the people in front of him had some connection with the Evil Cultivators, and his identity was now completely exposed.

The senior brothers and sisters’ faces also changed, as Li Xiaobai’s exposure meant they too had been recognized: “What do you mean? What do you mean by the Immortal Feather Sect has become hostages?”

Feng Wuxie’s face was also grim, with killing intent flashing in his eyes: “Did you do this?”

“Right, your Immortal Feather Sect’s disciples offended that gentleman, so naturally, Yue has to contribute a hand…”
