Li Chengfeng's divine sense warned her: "Do not be impulsive. Acting now will only endanger the outer sect disciples, and we two will hardly escape unscathed.
The two of us are at the fourth level of cultivation. Even with those three disciples, we would be hard-pressed to contend with Tang Yuecheng at the eighth level."
Li Chengfeng waved the memory orb in his hand and suggested, "I will record all of this and hand it over to Senior Sister for her to handle.
Senior Sister's influence in the sect is enough to ensure that these three disciples receive their due punishment, while also not implicating us."
Although Mu Xi was indignant, she gradually calmed down under Li Chengfeng's persuasion.
She knew that acting impulsively at this moment would be futile and might even harm others and herself.
Li Chengfeng comforted her, "It's not too late to settle accounts with Tang Yuecheng after we advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining. After all, with our cultivation speed, we will soon catch up with him.
By then, dealing with Tang Yuecheng will be as easy as crushing a bug."
After hearing this, Mu Xi's eyes sparkled with admiration, feeling that Li Chengfeng's words made a lot of sense.
Mu Xi was a clever person. She agreed with Li Chengfeng's method and nodded in agreement, no longer struggling.
Li Chengfeng's power was unfathomable, having already achieved complete mastery, and its strength was astonishing.
Under Tang Yuecheng's threat, Liu Yuan and the others ultimately gave up all their gains—four demon beasts and five spiritual herbs, which together were worth thousands of spirit stones.
Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to leave in the face of such a powerful opponent with both strength and background.
They knew that once they left the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, the other party could completely deny the matter, and such incidents of fellow disciples killing each other were common here, leaving them helpless.
They could only grit their teeth and leave, hoping that their strength would increase in the future so they could get revenge.
However, in Tang Yuecheng's eyes, they were just a bunch of trash.
He confidently believed that by the time they grew up, he would already be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and they would be insignificant in his presence.
After they left, the three of them burst into laughter.
The horse-faced cultivator said smugly, "Senior Brother, you're still the most capable. You got so many benefits without lifting a finger. It's much easier than us painstakingly searching for spiritual herbs and fighting demon beasts."
Tang Yuecheng even more proudly said, "You should still learn from me in the future. I still have many things to teach you."
Another long-faced cultivator echoed their sentiments, and the three of them happily walked into the nearby dense forest together.
Li Chengfeng watched their backs and smiled wryly.
He thought that if it weren't for his junior sister being present and his senior sister monitoring him, he would have used a substitute puppet to get rid of these three long ago.
But now, he had to maintain his persona and not expose his identity. He knew that doing so was the result of careful consideration and felt that it could fool others.
Little Junior Sister Mu Xi nodded, looking in the direction they left.
She said, "Senior Brother, let's go quickly. Completing the mission is the most important thing."
She also didn't want to stay in this place that made her uncomfortable. Although the scenery was pleasant, there were always things here that she couldn't accept.
So, the two quickly left this dense forest and continued their mission journey.
This encounter did have a profound impact on the little girl, making her deeply realize the cruelty and danger of the cultivation world.
She understood that in this world, everyone was fighting for resources, even at the cost of killing fellow disciples. This phenomenon of the strong bullying the weak and prioritizing利益利益 made her extremely uncomfortable.
However, Li Chengfeng saw her discomfort and tried to guide her to adapt to this cultivation world.
He knew that in this world, only the strong could stand firm, so he hoped that she could gradually become strong and brave.
The following things were relatively simple. Li Chengfeng used his powerful divine sense to discover a demon beast not far away and lured it over.
The two of them worked together to kill it. Although the process was conventional, it was considered a smooth completion of the mission.
However, just as they were moving forward, a mist suddenly rose ahead.
Even Li Chengfeng didn't notice this mist in time. He instantly came to Mu Xi's side and told her that there was a formation here.
As an outstanding disciple of the Wind Cloud Sect, Su Qiushui had taught Li Chengfeng many formations and talismans. Although they didn't specialize in this path, they had also cultivated and learned a lot.
And Li Chengfeng was even more of a formation expert. He immediately understood that they had entered the other party's formation.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from ahead. A young man was standing on a big tree. He had delicate features, but his eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Judging from his strength, he should be a Foundation Establishment early stage existence, and he had the aura of the Demonic Path. Li Chengfeng felt the surging demonic power in his body and realized that this was a powerful opponent.
In order to resolve the crisis, Li Chengfeng smiled and said to the young man, "Senior, we are just ordinary disciples here to gather herbs. Why does Senior need to make such a fuss?
Setting up a formation... we will leave the spiritual herbs and give Senior enough spirit stones. Please let us live."
Mu Xi was also frightened and sweating profusely. She could see that this person's strength was so great that he could easily kill them.
"Li Xu, you are very smart, but in front of me, all of this is in vain.
Someone paid to buy your lives. I'm just an executor."
The killer's voice was cold and ruthless. He came from the Heavenly Demon Hall, a killer organization famous throughout the entire Nine Domains Continent.
Li Chengfeng smiled miserably, trying to delay with words: "We two are just unknown small fries. Why do you want to hurt us?"
Mu Xi also hurriedly smoothed things over, saying, "We are just siblings here to train. Senior, have you mistaken us for someone else?"
However, the killer was unmoved: "The information obtained by my Heavenly Demon Hall will not be wrong. Your qualifications are too good. Someone paid a high price to eliminate you. You are the future rising stars of the Wind Cloud Sect. Isn't that reason enough?"
Li Chengfeng's face changed, realizing that the matter was far more serious than he had imagined.
The Wind Cloud Sect seemed peaceful, but in reality, undercurrents were surging. Their enemies had finally made a move, and it was a fatal blow.
He took a deep breath, trying to once again threaten the killer with words: "Do you know who I am? If you kill us, you won't be able to get out of here either. You will die miserably."
But the killer just sneered: "Little guy, don't fantasize that your senior sister will come to save you. Since I was sent to kill you, she will naturally be held back by others. Now, no one can save you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the killer moved.
His figure flashed, and a dark black flying sword slashed towards Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng quickly shot out three wind blades to block it, but the flying sword's momentum did not diminish and attacked again.
At the critical moment, Li Chengfeng grabbed Mu Xi's hand and threw her towards the edge of the formation.
Then, a talisman seal suddenly appeared in his hand, aiming at the black-clothed killer.
The black-clothed killer disappeared instantly. He was like a fish in water in the formation. This was his home field, and the talisman seal couldn't capture his position at all, let alone kill him.
But he appeared strangely next to Mu Xi, reaching out towards the whirlwind to grab Mu Xi and use her to threaten Li Chengfeng, achieving a diversionary tactic.
When the killer wanted to capture Mu Xi alive, he was met with the real talisman seal hidden in the whirlwind.
It turned out that the talisman seal in Li Chengfeng's hand was fake. When he threw the little junior sister out, he hid the talisman seal in the whirlwind. If the killer went to grab the little junior sister, he would fall into Li Chengfeng's trap.
The killer's face changed drastically, obviously not expecting Li Chengfeng's move.
