Qin Feng and his companions arrive at the edge of the wilderness. They find the town he once saved now in ruins. Meanwhile, Huangfu Hengjing confronts Long Hengtian about a past indiscretion, revealing a complex conspiracy involving the Huangfu clan and a plan to use Long God against the Star Heaven Sect.

The Soul Flower on the other side exists only in a very special environment within the Huangfu Territory. It blooms only once every hundred years and wilts just a quarter of an hour after blooming. When its petals are open, the nectar inside must be extracted. Once dried and refined, it becomes the most terrifying poison in the world. Unfortunately, the flowers across the river are rare, and only a small amount of poison can be extracted from each one. Even if the Huangfu Ancient People used all their national strength, they wouldn’t be able to obtain much. Otherwise, with their toxic weaponry, the Huangfu Ancient People’s army would have ruled this vast land for a long time!

Huangfu Hao’s plan was to send all the poisonous flowers from across the river to the Dragon God, to rid themselves of the Xing Tian Sect’s Holy Land. As long as there was no Holy Land, the Xing Tian Sect wouldn’t be feared.

When Huangfu Hao devised a new sinister plan, the great mountains and national map hanging over the Tuoba Territory quietly folded up and disappeared, and the Sky Shattering Conference was moved to the Divine Land Imperial City. -- No one knew what the Star Heaven Sect’s leader would do.

Under the clear skies, the Wind, carrying Tiantian, Baili Yue, Dan Taixue, the Void Beast, among others, flew swiftly into the wilderness.

The few were most intimate. They were in high spirits, laughter unceasing. Qin Feng no longer needed to hide his identity. He was Qin Feng, the Broken Sword Young Hero, the sect leader of the Star Heaven Sect. Today, on the boundless land, there was probably no one who dared to compete with him.

Time flew by,

More than a month later, Qin Feng finally reached the edge of the wilderness.

"Brother Qin, where are we going now?" Tiantian asked curiously on the road.

Qin Feng laughed and said, "A small human town, since we’ve come to the wilderness, let’s take a look along the way."

"What human town?" Tiantian asked again. She was always the most curious.

Qin Feng said, "People I saved in the wilderness. If it weren’t for saving them, I wouldn’t have had the chance to see that tree on the alley, and the village map wouldn’t have awakened."

"Oh," Tiantian stopped asking. She knew she could learn more once they soon reached that place.

However, when some reached a human city, it had become ruins. Among the ruins, only ten thousand people were rebuilding it.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but frown, then walked to the ruins.

"I ask you, what happened here?" Qin Feng directly faced a middle-aged man carrying a wood-chopping knife.

This man was just an ordinary mortal. Among the entire ruins, more than ten thousand were mortals.

"Who killed all the people in this city?" Qin Feng’s voice was a bit cold.

He intended to save the people of Fox God City, but now they were all dead, which made Qin Feng very uncomfortable.

"This young one doesn’t know." The man seemed somewhat frightened.

Qin Feng also realized he hadn’t thought it through. How would an ordinary mortal know about a practitioner? Although the people of Fusen City were extremely weak and advanced too far, there were still experts in the most extreme realms, which ordinary people couldn’t destroy at will.

The middle-aged man felt the mysterious youth vanish instantly. He realized he had encountered a cultivator, a very powerful one, given that most he had met couldn’t fly through the sky, yet he’d occasionally at least spot this figure.

"Youdu," Qin Feng called Prince Youdu out of the map. Simultaneously, he summoned the White Fox Demon.

"Brother Qin," Prince Youdu also looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng said, "You’ve wandered this boundless place for years, but do you know which force controls this area?"

Prince Youmu gazed at the wilderness not far away, and asked, "Are we now at the junction between the Eastern Splendor Realm and the Wilderness Realm?"

Qin Feng nodded.

Prince Youdu immediately said, "That’s easy. The controlling force here is called Qinghu Island, which is also a local force. Island Master Gongsun Miao has been breaking through the Holy Land for years. However, because it’s remote, Qinghu Island doesn’t belong to the Five Armies. It’s independent. I have a bit of a connection with Gongsun Miao."

"Bring him to see me."

"Yes," Prince Youdu said, then immediately left.

"White Fox," Qin Feng suddenly said.

"Master," said White Fox.

Qin Feng quietly said, "The people of Fusen City were previously ’food rations,’ used by you to exchange for credit."

The White Fox Demon could only smile awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. She wasn’t sure if Qin Feng was displeased with her or indifferent. Initially, she indeed had many interactions or hostility with Qin Feng. She hadn’t expected it. Now she was Qin Feng’s beast. Her ’food rations’ were also being noticed by Qin Feng. Surprisingly, this relationship had changed.

Qin Feng also said, "Fighting the Golden and Black Bird isn’t a matter of a moment. Before that, how about avenging the people of Fusen City?"

The White Fox breathed a sigh of relief, repeatedly saying, "Completely at the master’s orders." She felt the master didn’t blame her.

Half a day later, Prince Youdu led a bald man in red robes at high speed over. In the distance, the bald man in red saw there were several people with Qin Feng, led by a young man in white with a giant broken sword, very noticeable. The four women by his side each had unparalleled beauty, beauty that was irresistible.

One of them had a pointy ear.

"Hiss..." The bald man in red was immediately shocked. He felt a terrifying threat in the dark. He also realized this lovely woman wasn’t human but a terrifying beast. The beast’s power made him easily killed.

However, the bald man knew that the most terrifying was not the beast, but the seemingly non-threatening young man in white before him.

"Gongsun Miao, meeting King Qin." Gongsun Miao respectfully bowed, polite yet dared not be careless.

This was the Grandmaster of the Sky Shattering Sect. He breached Dan Tai Imperial City, destroyed the Tuoba Clan, defeated Huangfu Gu, and accepted the super-leader of Zhuangzi Valley. How could he dare to be disrespectful in front of such a giant?

"Are you the master of Qinghu Island?" Qin Feng quietly asked.

"Yes!" Gongsun Miao said.

Qin Feng pointed at the city that had already turned into ruins and said, "This city, and the people in it, do you know who destroyed it?"

Miao Gongsun said, "I know they were all killed by the ’Barbarian Alliance.’ The first one is called the Blood Sage."

"Blood Sage?" Qin Feng frowned, "There aren’t many forces in this boundless territory, but it seems I haven’t heard of the Blood Sage."

Gongsun Miao said, "Duke Qin isn’t familiar with the Blood Sage, but the Blood Sage might not be familiar with you."

"Oh?" When Gongsun Miao said this, not only Qin Feng, but also Prince Youdu, Tiantian, and others were surprised. Nowadays, with endless territory, regardless of the type of forces, hermits or recluses, they hadn’t heard of how many swordsmen Qin Feng had. It was probably rare.

Gongsun Miao explained, "This bloody sage isn’t from our mortal world, because he only cultivates deep in the wilderness, never emerging or making known what he’s doing. Moreover," Gongsun Miao said, "as far as I’m concerned, indeed there are human settlements in the wilderness. There are two kinds of humans. One kind is those who’ve offended great enemies and can’t survive in the mortal world, having to escape into the wilderness, relying on the vast wilderness and the world of beasts to avoid slaughter. However, wild beasts most love to attack invaders. Therefore, if they want to survive in the wilderness, they have to pay a price. The price is not seeing themselves as possessing the best spirit within humans but as a beast, occupying territory like other beasts, obeying the commands of powerful beasts like the Golden Bird and Black Bird."

Qin Feng couldn’t help but say, "Birds are different animals, animals are different animals, and humans are different animals. From this perspective, seeing themselves as a different animal in the wild is correct. Humans are one of the animals."
