Medical Sage

In just this instant, the turbulent sky was swiftly swallowed by the terrifying flames... Scarlet flames spread across the clouds like crimson haze, followed by a terrifying pillar of fire that suddenly burst forth.

Bang!

The Seven-Layer Human Formation suffered a direct blow, breaking open a corner.

”Quick, go.” Chen Fei’s stern shout exploded in Cang Kun’s ear.

”I, I...” Cang Kun’s face changed several times, turning green then pale, but he finally turned into a streak of demon light and escaped through the gap. As fast as lightning, his speed was at its peak.

Seeing this, Yan Qingyun and everyone present were slightly stunned.

Then, Yan Qingyun sneered mockingly, saying, ”It seems you realize your inevitable death? Not bad, at least you know your limits.”

His target had always been just Chen Fei. So even if others escaped... let them escape, it didn’t matter.

His target was only Chen Fei, so if others escaped, so be it, it was of little importance.

”But since your companion has chosen to flee, you should obediently surrender next, right?” Yan Qingyun followed with a cold sneer, his aura surging as he attacked again.

Boom!

A muffled sound, and behind him, terrifying formation patterns condensed into substance, with a dim gray force that locked Chen Fei like a trapped turtle. There was no way to escape.

Spiritual energy soared, gray mist descended, connecting to the sky... Immediately, Chen Fei felt an immense pressure, his face becoming grim and unpleasant.

This is the prowess of a master at the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, indeed outrageous! Far beyond what he could contend with now.

”Looks like I’ll have to find a way to go down together.” Chen Fei’s eyes flickered intensely, stubbornly locking onto the opponent with a sinister glint emerging.

Though in terms of raw strength, he was indeed not a match for the opponent! But if he wanted to kill, it wasn’t impossible.

”Brother Chen, aren’t you going to ask for my help? I’ve said before, just ask, and I’ll immediately take you away.” Just then, that crystal-clear laugh sounded again. Indeed, he had been watching the show from the shadows all along.

”I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you, young lady. My mouth is just too clumsy to ask for help.” Chen Fei chuckled. Asking for help, sorry, it’s not his style to say such things.

”Ah, you’re really no fun. Alright, I’m ready to act, be careful...” The crystal-clear female voice drifted over, seemingly dissatisfied, pouting slightly.

Boom!

But then, the world covered by the formation seemed to be abruptly torn apart by some mysterious power. An immensely powerful mysterious force broke in, shattering a large section of the Seven-Layer Human Formation.

At the same time, the pitch-black flag mysteriously turned into an illusory gray short sword, uprooting the foundation of the formation... Almost instantly, the Seven-Layer Human Formation was indeed broken by someone!?

”What! That’s impossible!?” Yan Qingyun’s face changed dramatically, unable to believe his Seven-Layer Human Formation was instantly broken?

But immediately, he sensed a mysterious aura, his face changing again, looking extremely grim and unpleasant as he said, ”Formation Breaking Flag!?”

The Formation Breaking Flag, known as the bane of formations! Only a very few know how to make it, in the outside world, it has almost been completely lost, but unexpectedly, someone used a Formation Breaking Flag now!?

”It seems luck is on my side today, I won’t die. Everyone, goodbye.” At this moment, Chen Fei’s calm yet slightly teasing voice sounded again, a voice that had already appeared hundreds of meters away.

Clearly, the moment the formation was broken, he had already started escaping. Masters at the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm he couldn’t defeat yet, but if he wanted to escape, they definitely couldn’t stop him.

Whoosh!

Chen Fei used an extraordinary secret technique from his inherited memories, transforming into a streak of flowing light and lightning, flitting tens of meters in the blink of an eye, and repeating the process.

Until he thought he might have left that mischievous young lady behind as well, a breathless complaining voice suddenly sounded in his ear. A graceful silhouette blocked his path.

”Young Brother Chen is indeed heartless. I went through so much to save you, even using my most precious treasure, yet you fled without a word.”

It was a beautiful young woman in her prime. Graceful, with long hair draping over her shoulders, her skin white like jade, her eyes like bright sapphires. Her lovely figure was veiled by a dazzling lace gown, flickering in and out of view, elegance and allure unmatched...

As the lace fluttered gently, her long skirt seemed to dance with the wind, outlining her proud figure in undulating curves that would make any man’s heart race.

Of course, Chen Fei didn’t believe she was truly as young as she appeared, in her prime. Cultivating to a certain level brings a return to youthful form.

For example, the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm is roughly 200 to 300 years old, and the lifespan at the Primordial Core True Lord Realm extends over a thousand years.

Ascending to a higher cultivation level prolongs lifespan, so a powerful being who’s 200 years old can’t be compared to one in the Primordial Core True Lord Realm, right?

The former has already used up more than half of their lifespan, they’d naturally appear old! However, a 200-year-old in the Primordial Core True Lord Realm hasn’t even used up one-fifth of their lifespan, how could they not appear young?

Returning to youth, remaining young, immortality... All these are compelling reasons for many powerful entities to relentlessly pursue higher realms at all costs.

Who wouldn’t want to return to youth, who wouldn’t want immortality?

The more powerful they are, the younger they appear, and such individuals are all the more formidable and terrifying!

Just like the mysterious woman in front of him, although she seems just a young lady, in the prime of her youth, the aura she is emitting at this moment...

”Peak of Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm?” Chen Fei’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. Such talent was definitely of a genius level, and a very powerful one at that.

”Sister, didn’t you catch up? Anyway, thanks for helping me out.” Chen Fei chuckled and said, ”But for now, how about finding a place to hide? Those people probably won’t let it go so easily.”

”So, you’re saying I’ve been dragged into trouble because of you?” The sister looked at Chen Fei with ’grievance’ in her eyes, then suddenly changed her expression and said with a playful smile, ”Follow me, I know a very safe place.”

Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly. He knew she had ulterior motives, but since she did save him, it wasn’t right to turn hostile now.

”Alright then, Sister, lead the way.” He saw her shake her head and smile as she spoke.

Well, let’s take it one step at a time. Chen Fei thought to himself.

”You’re quite clever.” The sister smiled like a crescent moon in satisfaction, turning to lead the way, guiding Chen Fei into a very remote area of the mountains, teeming with venomous insects and rodents, scarcely populated by humans.

But there, he found a very inconspicuous, low valley, obscured by dense foliage, full of an ancient aura.

And most importantly, here, Chen Fei found his Divine Sense weakened by at least half compared to outside!

What’s happening? His expression changed instantly, uncertain and skeptical.

”I discovered this place accidentally, it’s very mysterious, Divine Sense is almost unusable... So if we stay here quietly, unless those people outside break in, they almost won’t be able to find it.” The sister said with a smile.

Divine Sense almost unusable?

Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, then realized this should be the magical effect of his main cultivation method, ”Scripture of Meditation.”

Others’ Divine Sense is almost unusable here, while his is only halved in effectiveness. The difference is quite clear.

Nonetheless, he remained vigilant against this mysterious woman, ready to flee at any moment.

”You don’t need to be so guarded against me. I saved you indeed with a purpose, but at least my goal is different from those people outside.”

The sister smoothed her hair and said casually, ”Let me introduce myself, I am Pei Wanning.”

Pei Wanning? Chen Fei was slightly startled, he hadn’t heard of her.

But if someone from Ghost Wolf City were here, they would be visibly shocked.

Pei Wanning, one of Ghost Wolf City’s four beauties, recognized as the number one beauty! A contemporary remarkable woman, and importantly, she’s from one of the top four powers, the Pei Family.

Her grandfather is the current Clan Leader of the Pei Family. Not only is her potential and strength remarkable, but her background and backing are also impressive.

Unfortunately, Chen Fei knew nothing of this.

”Pei Wanning... Are you from the Pei Family?” Although Chen Fei didn’t know her identity, once he heard the surname, he hesitated slightly.

”Yes.” Pei Wanning smiled elegantly and nodded, ”I come from the main branch of the Pei Family in Ghost Wolf City.”

”So you’re here to cause me trouble?” Chen Fei couldn’t help but scratch his head. Pei Family members remind him of that incident in Azure Dragon Ravine... Ah, trouble upon trouble indeed.

”If I really came to cause you trouble, I wouldn’t have saved you.”

Pei Wanning shook her head and said sweetly, ”I’m not interested in your treasures or the reward. I saved your life, in exchange, return my Pei Family’s treasure map to me?”

Chen Fei was slightly stunned, then smiled wryly.

He knew it would be like this, nothing good.

”You’re late. That item is no longer with me.” He shook his head and said.

”It’s not with you?”

Upon hearing this, Pei Wanning’s refined eyebrows immediately furrowed. She was determined to obtain Qingyue Pill King’s treasure map, yet now, Chen Fei says the map is not with him?

”Where did that one-third of the treasure map go?” She persisted, asking.

”I gave it to someone. A woman named Pei Qingshuang.” Chen Fei spread his hands.

”Pei Qingshuang?”

Pei Wanning’s refined eyebrows furrowed even deeper. She certainly knew who Pei Qingshuang was, but why did Chen Fei have any dealings with that woman?

”Did you risk turning against my Pei Family just to give her that treasure map? What is your relationship with her?” She asked again, her attitude noticeably colder.

She took such great risks earlier just to retrieve the treasure map from Chen Fei, their Pei Family ancestor—Qingyue Pill King’s treasure map! But now, Chen Fei says it’s gone, not with him, how could her expression remain good!?
