Chen Qingqing helps Su Changfeng select a location and name for his new sect. Later, Su Changfeng encounters You Meng again, who playfully deflects his questions about her purpose. Su Changfeng attempts to use a brothel visit as an excuse to shake her off but changes plans when he realizes she has left.

At the same time, a hundred miles away from Xinluo City, an old man was sitting at a tea stall by a post, drinking tea and eating. His ragged appearance drew scorn from the diners around him, made worse by his strange attire, which, although tattered, clearly wasn’t from Xingluo.

"Old man, your clothes don’t look like they come from Xingluo," a tall man with a sneer approached the old man and said.

"I don’t have much money at home, so I just stitched some rags together. That’s why it looks odd," the old man explained with a smile.

The man reached out and slapped the old man’s shoulder with great force.

The old man’s expression didn’t change as he calmly spoke, "Young man, even though I’m just an old guy, not just anyone can bully me. If you don’t want to die, you better leave now."

The man burst into laughter and said, "You’ve got quite the nerve, old fellow. Fine, I’ll leave, but hand over all the money you have, and I might spare you. How about it?"

The old man shook his head and murmured, "The world is in decline, even resorting to robbing an old man like me. It seems you don’t usually do good deeds. In that case, I’ll consider this as an act of charity. Remember to be a good person in your next life."

The man didn’t understand what the old man meant until he felt a chill in his throat and warm blood spurted out.

The remaining people, seeing this, paled and attempted to flee.

However, the old man merely raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Trying to run? Once you encounter me, how can you escape?"

Then, countless cold lights shot out, and everyone in the tea stall fell. The previously bustling tea stall suddenly had only the old man standing.

At this moment, a female voice called out from afar, "Yu Changfeng, coming all the way to Xingluo to kill people is quite reckless, isn’t it?"

The old man’s lips curved slightly upon hearing this, and he replied, "You Meng, I’m not mindlessly killing innocents here. These people are not exactly virtuous. What I’m doing is just helping you eliminate some cancerous elements. You should be thanking me."

"You expect me to thank you for coming to Xingluo and killing people? You’re getting shameless," said You Meng, appearing before Yu Changfeng, her face full of anger.

Yu Changfeng’s smile didn’t change, dismissive as he said to You Meng, "What, are you planning to fight me over these ants? If we fight, it might affect more innocent people."

You Meng clenched her fist. The old man wasn’t wrong. If they fought carelessly, the negative impact on Xingluo would be unimaginable. A battle between Primordial Masters could destroy a city, affecting more than just a few civilians.

"Why aren’t you staying in Dongling and instead running to Xingluo? From your appearance, having come out of the Sourceless Forest, you must’ve endured quite a bit," You Meng frowned and looked at him, puzzled.

"Sigh." Hearing this, Yu Changfeng sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Do you think I wanted this? Even a Primordial Master finds it no easy feat to traverse the Sourceless Forest."

"Cut the crap. What exactly do you want?" You Meng asked coldly.

"What if I said I plan to join Xingluo? Would you believe me?" Yu Changfeng said.

You Meng snorted and mocked, "Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? The benefits Dongling gives you are beyond what Xingluo can offer. Besides, the environment there is completely different from Xingluo’s. Can you adapt to living here?"

"You’ve got a point. This place is indeed not great compared to my riverside mansion in Dongling. But I have no choice," Yu Changfeng’s voice was filled with helplessness, and he didn’t seem to be lying.

This made You Meng even more curious. Why would Yu Changfeng leave Dongling and brave the Sourceless Forest to come to Xingluo?

"Could it be you’re here hiding from disaster?" A sudden flash of insight struck You Meng, albeit she found it far-fetched, besides that matter, she couldn’t fathom any other reason for Yu Changfeng’s sudden appearance in Xingluo.

"Do you know about the matter at Wangyun Mountain?" Yu Changfeng asked.

"A young woman set up a challenge there, saying she wanted to face the experts within Dongling. There’s also a little girl with her. Isn’t this something Dongling spread intentionally?" You Meng asked.

"It’s no act. That woman’s strength is unfathomable, even to me. I’ve been observing her lately. If I’m not mistaken, she might be close to the Holy Spirit Realm if not already there," Yu Changfeng said.

"How is that possible?" You Meng exclaimed in shock. The Holy Spirit Realm always existed in legends, and no one knew if it truly existed or could be surpassed. How could Dongling suddenly produce someone of the Holy Spirit Realm?

"I didn’t believe it either, but the facts are in front of us. Otherwise, why would I seek refuge in Xingluo? You can’t imagine how many in Dongling wish for me to confront her to curb her arrogance. But what can I do? Helpless, I came to Xingluo for refuge," Yu Changfeng sighed several times, showing how formidable the opponent was.

You Meng’s expression also grew more solemn. If Yu Changfeng was right, she’d like to see Dongling for herself.

But now that even Yu Changfeng had been forced to Xingluo, going there might serve no purpose.

"Did you find out anything about her?" You Meng inquired.

Yu Changfeng shook his head and said, "She came out of nowhere, no sign at all before."

Suddenly appearing?

For some reason, You Meng felt a familiar sensation, as if this Su Changfeng was also a master who appeared suddenly.

Could it be that the woman in Dongling has some connection with Su Changfeng?

"In fact, a master also appeared suddenly in Xingluo, whose strength is definitely no less than mine," You Meng suddenly said.

"Pfft..." Yu Changfeng spat out the tea he just sipped.

"What? Within Xingluo, there’s actually a master stronger than you?" Yu Changfeng looked incredulous.

"That person also appeared without any sign," You Meng said, taking out an album depicting Su Changfeng’s battle with thirty experts from the Situ Family and handing it to Yu Changfeng.

"What’s this?" Yu Changfeng frowned as he took it.

"This captures the scene of his sparring with thirty experts. Among them were nine late stage third rank experts, and one was a Ninth Rank Expert. Yet after sparring with him, without exception, they all lost," You Meng explained.
