Strongest Medical Saint

After a good while had passed.

Gao Huiying and the others exhaled heavily from their throats, the more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed—otherwise, how could Shen Feng possibly have the method to control the Sound Explosion Heavenly Clock? And there was now an explanation for reaching the top of the Confusion Tower before.

When they first heard the name "Shen Feng," they never connected it to the Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Now, in their view, it was highly probable that Shen Feng was a descendant of the Carefree Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor Miaoyin, possibly named exactly after the Carefree Immortal Emperor as a tribute.

If Shen Feng knew what Gao Huiying and the others were speculating, he would surely have a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears—he had become his own descendant in the eyes of these people!

Several more minutes went by.

Jiang Zhuyu, with seriousness in her beautiful eyes, addressed the elders and disciples present, "Regarding tonight's events, no one is allowed to speak of it, or they will face severe punishment from the Hundred Flower Sect!"

Upon hearing this.

All the elders and disciples nodded repeatedly, as they would never do something so ungrateful.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuyu's face showed a satisfied expression, looking in the direction where Shen Feng had left and muttered in her heart, "Whether or not you are a descendant of Immortal Emperor Miaoyin, don't assume you can take liberties with my body without consequences, even if you travel to the Middle Realm on the day of the Dragon Leap Gate a year from now, don't think you can shake me off."

After snapping out of her thoughts, Jiang Zhuyu then spoke again, "Alright, everyone should return to their rooms and rest!"

Having said that.

She and Gao Huiying, along with others, entered the Hundred Flower Sect to discuss how to face the inquiries from the Star Sea Sword Sect and the Holy Heaven Sect; they must quickly spread the evidence they held.

Meanwhile.

At a certain lakeside, some distance from the Hundred Flower Sect.

Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan of the Holy Heaven Sect had just completed the task assigned by Ke Zhishan.

They had separated from Ke Zhishan because they received a distress signal from a disciple of the Holy Heaven Sect.

The disciple who sent the distress signal should be nearby, which is why Ke Zhishan asked Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan to check it out while he was more concerned about his grandson's affairs.

Upon arriving at the location from where the distress signal was sent, Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan indeed encountered several Foundation Establishment stage disciples of the Holy Heaven Sect. Ironically, the disciples on training were surrounded by a number of Golden Core stage Monster Beasts and were forced to send a distress signal, hoping to find nearby elders from the Holy Heaven Sect!

It was merely a few Golden Core stage Monster Beasts; with Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan's current cultivation, they naturally resolved the issue with ease.

They initially intended to return to Ke Zhishan's side, but unexpectedly they discovered an almost mature Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. If Ke Zhishan learned of this treasure, there certainly wouldn't be a share for them. After pondering, they decided to wait for the treasure to mature, harvest it, and then return to Ke Zhishan.

Just a short while ago.

The Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure had fully matured, and they had already harvested it; they were merely washing their hands by the lake.

While they were indulging in the joy of obtaining the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

"Bang! Bang!" two sounds.

The green jade pendants they wore at their waists suddenly burst into powder.

This sudden turn of events.

Made Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan instantly furrow their brows, the joy in their hearts vanished in an instant as they stared blankly at their waists.

The green jade pendants they wore were gifts from Ke Zhishan, containing his powerful aura and some defensive measures he had arranged.

One could say.

These two jade pendants had an inseparable connection with Ke Zhishan.

By now, Ke Zhishan had already been dead for quite some time.

The two Jade Pendants slowly began to show signs of exploding.

Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan knew what the shattering of the Jade Pendants meant! They found it somewhat difficult to accept the fact that within the Holy Heaven Sect, Ke Zhishan had always been their support, and now that Ke Zhishan was dead, it was indeed troubling for them.

They were aware that an Outer Gate Elder of the Star Sea Sword Sect, who was at the Middle Stage of Sea Transformation, was also headed to the Hundred Flower Sect. In light of such a situation, it should have been impossible for the Hundred Flower Sect to kill Ke Zhishan!

After thinking for a good while.

Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan knew they couldn't stay here much longer. They didn't plan to go to the Hundred Flower Sect to investigate and immediately began to fly towards the Holy Heaven Sect.

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

It takes roughly two days to travel from the Hundred Flower Sect to Spirit Water City.

The trip to Spirit Water City was naturally to wake Lu Xiangfu, with whom he had some connections, from his endless slumber.

At the moment.

Within a mountain range not far from Spirit Water City.

Shen Feng was sitting in front of a campfire, it being nighttime, with an old man and a young boy sitting cross-legged beside him.

The gaunt old man was named Cui Qingyan, and the somewhat carefree youth was called Cui Hengyu; they shared a grandfather-grandson relationship.

When Shen Feng just happened to pass by this mountain range.

Cui Hengyu was in a bitter struggle against a Monster Beast at the Late Stage of the Golden Core, while his own cultivation was only at the Late Stage of the Golden Core.

Monster Beasts were physically stronger than cultivators, and despite Cui Hengyu using all his methods, he was left heavily injured and unable to rise from the ground.

The thick-skinned Monster Beast also significantly weakened due to its injuries. Even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage could have killed it, but at this point, Cui Hengyu had no fighting power left.

As for his grandfather Cui Qingyan, he was entangled by a Monster Beast at the Late Stage of Swallowing Spirit, unable to break free to save him.

Fortunately.

Shen Feng just happened to pass by and casually killed the weakened Monster Beast.

Subsequently.

Cui Qingyan, with his cultivation at the Peak of Swallowing Spirit, spared no effort to use various methods and finally killed the Monster Beast at the Late Stage of Swallowing Spirit. The Monster Beast's combat power was too strong, causing Cui Qingyan to be at a disadvantage.

Originally, Shen Feng intended to leave after that.

But the injured Cui Hengyu and Cui Qingyan were extremely hospitable, insisting on expressing their gratitude properly.

Upon learning that Shen Feng was also headed to Spirit Water City.

They became even more insistent on not letting Shen Feng leave, since they were traveling to the same destination, and they informed him that in recent days, the gates to Spirit Water City were closed tight every night, with strong individuals patrolling the entrance, making it difficult to enter the city at night without being thoroughly checked by those guarding the gates.

Shen Feng knew that as long as he notified the City Lord's Mansion, it would be very simple for him to enter Spirit Water City, but he didn't want to disturb them with a big fuss late at night.

Especially since the Supreme Elder of the City Lord's Mansion was now aware that he was the Carefree Immortal Emperor, they would certainly make a great display of welcoming him. It made more sense to just wait until the next morning to enter Spirit Water City and then go directly to the City Lord's Mansion!

That was why he ultimately decided to stay here overnight.

Cui Qingyan and Cui Hengyu, the grandfather-grandson duo, were in the process of recovering from their internal injuries. Although Shen Feng had healing Holy Water, Immortal Spirit Water, in his ring space, he wouldn't take out such a precious healing Holy Water since it was their first encounter.
