Chapter 3130: Timely Arrival

The Peak of Qinglian

Night descended upon Xuanli Market. The market was ablaze with lights, and a continuous stream of people filled its streets.

A plain-looking young man in a green shirt strolled along the street, observing his surroundings.

As he turned a corner, the young man in the green shirt frowned and stopped.

Following his gaze, a public notice was visible. It featured a portrait and a line of text.

Dozens of cultivators stood in front of the notice, talking animatedly.

The notice read: "Evil cultivator Long Qingfeng has harmed the innocent. He possesses a dragon bloodline. A reward of one hundred million spirit stones is offered for his capture. Anyone withholding information will be treated as an accomplice."

"Evil cultivators deserve to be exterminated by all! He should be killed. If I ever find him, I'll extract his soul and refine his essence!"

"Oh, please! With your initial Void Refinement cultivation, you're no match for him. Didn't you read the notice? He has mid Void Refinement cultivation; you're utterly out of his league!"

The young man in the green shirt glanced at the notice a few times, then paid it no further attention and strode forward.

He walked around the streets for a while, and more than an hour later, he entered a quiet courtyard with red tiles.

The young man in the green shirt was, in fact, Long Qingfeng. He had used a treasure to alter his appearance, making it difficult for outsiders to discern his true face.

For years, he had been on the run, never knowing a moment of peace, constantly fearing that his enemies would track him down.

"Even the Cold Flame Sect has gotten involved," Long Qingfeng muttered. "It seems I can't stay here anymore." He doubted that the Nine Dragons Palace could bribe all human forces on Xuanling Continent.

Long Qingfeng changed his appearance again and left his residence. A short while later, he appeared at the entrance of a white palace with the golden characters "Xuanli Hall" inscribed on its plaque.

He strode inside. Within the hall were over a dozen teleportation arrays. He walked onto one of them, paid the spirit stones, and stepped on.

Qin Hao passed by the entrance, and his gaze seemingly casually swept over the interior of the hall.

A guard cast a spell, and the teleportation array immediately began to shake. Countless array patterns lit up brilliantly, and after a dazzling spiritual light flared, it enveloped Long Qingfeng's figure.

A moment later, Deng Tianqi and Bai Yao arrived and teleported away in pursuit of Long Qingfeng. Wang Mengshan and the other three would follow by teleportation later.

Over an endless expanse of green grassland, a green-glowing flying boat rapidly streaked across the sky. Wang Yuanjiang and Long Yufei stood upon it, their expressions solemn.

They didn't know which large market Long Qingfeng was in, so they could only cast a wide net. Over a dozen Void Refinement cultivators headed to multiple large markets, simultaneously mobilizing Void Refinement cultivators from allied forces to assist.

Setting aside the possibility of Long Qingfeng possessing valuable treasures, Deng Tianqi was a significant threat, and the Wang family had to eliminate him.

Wang Yuanjiang made a hand seal, and the green flying boat's escape light greatly intensified, accelerating its speed.

Not long after, the green flying boat vanished into the horizon.

Over an endless expanse of emerald-green mountains, a deafening roar emanated from deep within, faintly mixed with dragon roars. It seemed that someone was engaged in a battle.

After a thunderous boom, a massive golden mushroom cloud rose into the sky, extremely conspicuous.

Deep within the mountains, dozens of peaks had been razed to the ground. Wang Mengshan, Deng Tianqi, and Bai Yao stood high in the air, their faces pale and their eyes filled with terror.

Six against one, the advantage was theirs. However, once they engaged in battle, they truly understood Long Qingfeng's formidable power. Qin Hao and two others had been killed by Long Qingfeng, and they had only managed to injure him.

A deafening dragon roar resounded, and a green flood dragon flew out from within the golden mushroom cloud at an exceptionally high speed, soaring towards the sky.

"Chase!"

Deng Tianqi's expression turned cold. He was utterly unwilling to let Long Qingfeng escape just like that.

"Fellow Daoist Deng," Wang Mengshan suggested, "Let's not chase too closely! Since he has already been poisoned by Seven-Star Begonia, one of the Ten Great Strange Poisons, he can't run far. We just need to follow behind."

Seven-Star Begonia is one of the Ten Great Strange Poisons; ordinary detoxification pills are ineffective against it. The poisoned person's vital energy will slowly deteriorate. However, this poison is only truly effective against Void Refinement cultivators; Body Integration cultivators can remove it with a little more time.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has a point," Bai Yao agreed. "We still shouldn't chase too closely. Even Fellow Daoist Qin, a body cultivator, was killed by him, let alone us."

Deng Tianqi pondered for a moment and then agreed.

He took out a Dragon Positioning Disk, cast a spell into it, and a flashing spiritual light mark became visible.

They used the Dragon Positioning Disk to lock onto Long Qingfeng's location and pursued him.

Not long after, the three of them vanished into the horizon.

More than two months later, they appeared above a continuous mountain range. The spiritual energy here was sparse, and the area looked somewhat desolate.

Long Qingfeng rapidly swept across the sky, his face pale, breathing heavily, and his back covered in blood. With his powerful physical body, he wouldn't have feared his opponents in a direct confrontation, but he had been poisoned by Seven-Star Begonia, which had significantly weakened his strength.

A white light flashed, and a small white-glowing seal appeared out of thin air above his head. The white seal instantly expanded, releasing a bone-chilling white cold air, and crashed down towards him.

Before the massive white seal even landed, a large amount of white ice fragments appeared in the void, as if the void itself was about to freeze.

Long Qingfeng's hands grew numerous green scales, transforming into two massive green dragon claws that met the attack.

With a dull thud, the massive white seal flew backward, while a huge golden fire cloud, carrying astonishing high temperatures, smashed onto Long Qingfeng's body.

With a thunderous roar, Long Qingfeng was engulfed by a sheet of golden flames. A large golden hand appeared out of thin air and slapped towards the golden flames.

Long Qingfeng was sent flying backward and plummeted towards the ground, his body scorched black and his aura weak.

His body heavily crashed onto the ground, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face growing even paler. If not for being poisoned by Seven-Star Begonia, he would not have feared his opponents at all.

The massive white seal's spiritual light greatly intensified and smashed towards Long Qingfeng.

"Mother, I'm coming to join you," Long Qingfeng muttered, a look of madness on his face. Even if he died, he would not fall into enemy hands.

Just then, a woman's loud shout rang out, spreading across a thousand-li radius.

Long Qingfeng frowned, and Deng Tianqi and the other two also frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

A streak of red light appeared on the distant horizon, moving very fast.

A red lotus platform appeared in their sight. Wang Ruyi stood upon it, her gaze icy cold.

Learning that her benefactor was being hunted by Deng Tianqi, Wang Ruyi also joined the search for Long Qingfeng.

The Wang family dispatched over a dozen Void Refinement cultivators and asked their in-laws and allies for assistance, mobilizing over sixty Void Refinement cultivators to search for Long Qingfeng. Of course, the Wang family publicly stated they were searching for a Void Refinement stage half-demon.

Wang Ruyi had passed by this area, heard the sounds of battle, and specifically rushed over. She didn't expect it to truly be Long Qingfeng.

"The Qinglian Wang family!"

Deng Tianqi frowned, and his expression darkened.

Bai Yao's face was filled with confusion. She seemed to realize something and sent a telepathic message to Deng Tianqi: "Fellow Daoist Deng, don't tell me this person is a member of the Wang family."
