36: Long Aotian's number one enemy

Facing Wu Xin’s question, Feng Keqiang fell silent.

How should he answer?

Should he directly say that he wanted to find The Long family and take The Long family with him?

No, no, no. Nine Heavens Immortal Palace had no relation to The Long family, so why would they help him take The Long family along?

The Feng Family only received this treatment because his daughter had established a connection with Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

Ultimately, it was all about connections!

As long as The Long family could establish a connection with Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, wouldn't they be able to leave together?

But then another problem arose.

How could The Long family establish a connection with Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?

Feng Keqiang thought of the un-dissolved marriage between his daughter and Long Aotian!

Long Aotian of The Long family was the Saintess of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace’s fiancé. That should be a connection, right?

However, while there was a connection, Feng Keqiang found it difficult to speak about it.

First, Long Aotian could not Cultivate.

At least, Feng Keqiang currently didn't know that Long Aotian could Cultivate.

Second, Nine Heavens Immortal Palace’s stance on the Saintess having a fiancé was unknown.

After all, some Sects required Disciples to sever all emotions and desires for Cultivation, while others demanded purity, forbidding Dao Companions or forbidding them when their Cultivation Realm was low, as it would affect their Cultivation speed.

Feng Keqiang hesitated.

Could he even mention this?

“A man acting so indecisive, just say what you need to say!”

“…”

Was he being scorned by a woman?!

Feng Keqiang couldn't help but feel angry. Anyway, the other party would know sooner or later, so he might as well speak. What was he afraid of?

“My daughter has a fiancé. I’m waiting for him, and I’m also taking his Family with us.”

“What? The Saintess is only eight, and she already has a man? Family Head Feng, what exactly are you plotting?”

Wu Xin’s eyes immediately widened in anger, and she bristled.

“…It’s a childhood engagement!”

Feng Keqiang couldn’t help but shrink his neck from the glare. He was genuinely a little worried that this woman, who would lash out at others without warning, might suddenly slap him.

If that really happened, he would reach the Western Paradise faster than a rocket, and Wu Xin’s slap would send him there even quicker.

“Hmph, what kind of ridiculous childhood engagement? Men only hinder our women’s Cultivation speed. Family Head Feng, I advise you to break off this engagement for the Saintess, otherwise, hmph…”

“…”

Feng Keqiang was dumbfounded.

What kind of words were these?

So forceful!

So ruthless!

So serious!

Had Senior Wu Xin’s Cultivation speed been affected by a man?

Feng Keqiang dared not ask this question.

Otherwise, he felt he might not live to see tomorrow’s sun.

“Otherwise what?”

Hearing Wu Xin not finish her sentence, Feng Keqiang’s heart sank, and countless possibilities of what “otherwise” could mean flashed through his mind.

“Otherwise, what else can be done? Of course, I’ll kill her fiancé for the Saintess.”

“…You…”

Feng Keqiang was once again stunned by this woman’s ruthlessness and decisiveness.

“Stop with the ‘you’s. Didn’t I advise you? It’s best to break off this ridiculous childhood engagement. No one can affect the Saintess’s Cultivation!”

“…No one can affect the Saintess’s Cultivation? Does that include me and Senior?”

“…”

Wu Xin frowned slightly, and said coldly with some displeasure: “I said no man can affect the Saintess’s Cultivation. You are a man, so of course it includes you! I am a woman, and I won’t affect the Saintess’s Cultivation. Hmph, I will only kill those men who affect the Saintess’s Cultivation.”

“…”

Feng Keqiang was once again dumbfounded.

How was Senior Wu Xin’s brain wired?

What kind of divine logic was this?

How could he, a father, affect his daughter’s Cultivation?

And women couldn’t affect women’s Cultivation?

How much hatred did she have for men?

“Don’t look at me like that. Hmph, men only hinder our women’s Cultivation speed. I’m going into secluded Cultivation. Get out of here and don’t disturb me!”

“…I, I’ll get out right away!”

Meeting Wu Xin’s cold gaze, which was like looking at a dead person, Feng Keqiang, one of Feng Town’s peerless talents, quickly scurried away.

This woman was too terrifying for men!

…Meanwhile, Long Aotian, who was still in secluded Cultivation in the third-level spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda, had no idea that he had unknowingly provoked a killing god.

Reason?

Sometimes, women were just that unreasonable, especially someone like Wu Xin, who was missing a screw and believed that men only hindered women’s Cultivation speed.

After his Cultivation rose to the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Purple Core Realm, his Void Formation broke through to Level Six, and his ordinary Formations broke through to Level Five, Long Aotian then switched to Cultivating the Concealment Cultivation Technique, Thousand Faces Technique, Shape Shifting Technique, and Mind Altering Technique. Only after mastering all four of these Cultivation Techniques, able to effectively hide, disguise, and protect himself, did Long Aotian leave the Treasure Pagoda and depart Immortal Severing Mountain.

He did not return to Long Village. Long Village was within the range of his Divine Sense. A quick scan revealed that Long Village was still empty.

“More than four months have passed. I wonder what the Family’s situation is like now after these four months?

Hmph, only The Lei and Shi families, from the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, could force The Long family into such a fragmented state.

I hope the Imperial Family of the Eternal Leaf Dynasty doesn’t get involved in this matter, otherwise, before I leave the Eastern Barrens, it will be the day of the Eternal Leaf Dynasty’s demise.”

What worried Long Aotian most was not The Lei and Shi families, but the Imperial Family’s intervention.

If the Imperial Family disapproved of The Long family causing trouble on the Eternal Leaf Dynasty’s territory and helped The Lei and Shi families, then The Long family would truly be in danger.

“Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm allows for Flying Sword travel, and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm allows for aerial flight. Now, at the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Purple Core Realm, I can already travel by Flying Sword.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a Flying Sword.

Even if I did, I couldn’t use it.”

The Out-of-Body Realm Family Guardian and Nascent Soul Realm Family Elder who perished from The Lei and Shi families, along with Lei Ao and Shi Jing of the Golden Core Realm, and the more than two dozen Transformation Sea Realm Disciples from the Three Great Cloud Sects killed by Lei Ao and Shi Jing—all of them had Flying Swords in their storage rings, but Long Aotian dared not use them.

These people’s Flying Swords belonged either to the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City or the Three Great Cloud Sects. Using them might attract unnecessary trouble, especially since Long Aotian felt he wasn’t very strong yet and couldn’t protect himself.

Hide if you can!

Even without Flying Sword travel or aerial flight, with Long Aotian’s current foot speed at the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Purple Core Realm, he could move with incredible swiftness.

Though described as moving with incredible swiftness, Long Aotian had essentially achieved the level of aerial flight.

Don’t forget, although he was currently at the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Purple Core Realm, the purity of his spiritual energy was in no way inferior to that of an Old Monster at the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Other Golden Core Realm powerhouses might not be able to achieve aerial flight, but for him, at the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Purple Core Realm, it was quite easy.

Flying Sword travel required, first, sufficiently powerful Divine Sense to easily stabilize the loaded Flying Sword, and second, sufficiently high spiritual energy purity to easily propel the loaded Flying Sword through the air.

Only powerhouses at the Golden Core Realm and above, who had gathered the sea into a core and refined a Golden Core, could achieve this.

Aerial flight was the result of further purification of spiritual energy.

Since it was related to the purity of spiritual energy, it was naturally no problem for Long Aotian, who could rival a Ninth Revolution Peak Stage Nascent Soul Realm, to achieve aerial flight…
