The morning golden sunlight shone on Yang Wanyi, giving her a different kind of charm.

Luo Feng had already gotten used to Yang Wanyi's casual way of doing things. Sheathing his Fury Flame Knife, he nodded and replied, "Yes, I just finished practicing."

As she spoke, Yang Wanyi stepped away from the courtyard wall with an apparent weightlessness, walking step by step to Luo Feng's side.

Seeing this, Luo Feng's eyes twitched slightly.

This was the Void Step technique. Although he could also do it, it was never as effortless, unless he reached the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Yang Wanyi walked to Luo Feng's side and scanned the courtyard, her gaze landing on the dried-up pool—a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

She had just passed by and suddenly felt a sharp and chilling sensation, prompting her to come and see what had happened.

Draining the pool with one stroke, the power of this attack has increased at least threefold compared to when he faced Tang Qi!

Looking at the pool, Yang Wanyi felt a shock in her heart. Could the power of a person's Saber Technique improve this much in just three days?

Looking at Luo Feng, Yang Wanyi asked with a smile, "I heard from my father that you've been practicing the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique. How is it going? Any progress?"

Thinking of Yang Dingtian, Luo Feng slightly wrinkled his brows. Immediately smoothing them, he replied, "There hasn't been much progress; I just advanced the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique to the second level."

There was no need to hide such matters. Besides, anyone seeing the cut marks nearby would immediately understand what had happened, so there was no way to hide it.

"Your Shocking Thunder Saber Technique has broken through to the second level?"

Before Yang Wanyi could say anything, a sudden exclamation sounded at the entrance of the courtyard.

Yang Dingtian stood there at the entrance, his face full of shock.

"Father-in-law." Seeing Yang Dingtian, Luo Feng respectfully greeted him.

Seeing Yang Dingtian's expression, Yang Wanyi felt a little strange. "Father, is there something strange about Luo Feng's Shocking Thunder Saber Technique reaching the second level?"

Yang Dingtian walked into the courtyard, his gaze immediately drawn to the dried-up pool.

Seeing the terrible saber mark in the pool, he quietly drew in a cold breath.

Only the second level of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique could dry up a pool with one swing. That means Luo Feng really did reach the second level!

Thinking of this, Yang Dingtian was once again taken aback. Achieving the second level of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique in just three days showed an absurdly exceptional talent for cultivation! The Shocking Thunder Saber Technique was a mid-Profound Level martial art of the Puppet Sect, with each level harder to master than the last. It had already been shocking when Luo Feng reached the first level in twenty days, but this was even more exaggerated—he had broken through to the second level in just three days!

Yang Dingtian found it hard to believe. He looked at Luo Feng and asked, "Your Shocking Thunder Saber Technique, has it really broken through to the second level?"

Without an explanation, Luo Feng immediately drew the Fury Flame Knife and swung. A dazzling slash appeared, like a Thunderbolt tearing through the night sky.

Yang Wanyi and Yang Dingtian changed their expressions at the same time. At the instant the saber light appeared, they both felt a sharp aura rushing at them, causing their hairs to stand on end.

BOOM!

Another terrifying saber mark scarred the pool.

Yang Dingtian looked at the saber mark in the pool, sucking in a cold breath. Luo Feng's Shocking Thunder Saber Technique had improved massively in the past three days. This was undoubtedly the second level of the technique.

Yang Wanyi was also shocked. However, what shocked her was the power of Luo Feng's Saber Technique. The explosive power contained in that saber light made her feel a slight sense of danger.

Of course, this was just an illusion. With her cultivation at the Spiritual Rotation Realm, ten Luo Fengs would be no match for her. However, this indirectly proved that his Saber Technique was extraordinary. For someone at the mid-stage of the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Court Realm cultivation to make a Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist feel a subconscious sense of danger was already quite an accomplishment.

SHIING!

Luo Feng sheathed his knife, looked at Yang Dingtian and smiled, "Thanks to your guidance, Father-in-law, I have been able to improve so quickly."

Yang Dingtian shook his head, smiling bitterly in his heart. His words were only based on what he'd read, and he didn't understand it at all, let alone guide Luo Feng.

"Indeed, a once-in-a-lifetime genius who has grasped the Grand Momentum. I almost misjudged you. Now I can rest easy." Yang Dingtian patted Luo Feng's shoulder, feeling emotional. Luo Feng's progress had truly taken him by surprise.

Luo Feng looked up. "Father-in-law, I'm leaving Dayang City today."

"Leaving today? Can't you stay a few more days?" Yang Dingtian frowned slightly.

Luo Feng shook his head, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He declared, "I have important matters to attend to."

There was less than a month left until Duanmu Xiao's fortieth birthday, and he had many preparations to make. Time was not on his side.

Yang Wanyi noticed the killing intent emanating from Luo Feng, her Daimei furrowed slightly. "What important thing? Do you need my help?"

She understood his character—he wouldn't show this kind of expression unless something significant was happening!

"There is no need, I can handle it myself. Waner, you can stay here and accompany your father during this period." Luo Feng shook his head. This was a grudge between the Duanmu Family and the Luo Family, and he didn't want others to interfere. Besides, Yang Dingtian was afflicted with the Blood Yin Poison, and Luo Feng knew he would want Yang Wanyi by his side at such a time.

Yang Wanyi found Luo Feng's words peculiar. She gazed at Luo Feng with complex emotions, then lightly pouted her cherry lips and said, "I also want to stay with my father, but the Demon Sect is rampaging now. We disciples of the twelve Golden Palaces also have many tasks to complete, so I have to return to Linglong Hall in a few days."

Luo Feng creased his eyebrows. It seemed Yang Wanyi was completely unaware of Yang Dingtian's poisoning.

Worried that Luo Feng would inadvertently reveal something, Yang Dingtian quickly chimed in, "Luo Feng, if you need any help, feel free to speak up."

Luo Feng cupped his fists. "Thank you, Father-in-law!"

Yang Dingtian nodded. "Since you are in a hurry, I will not keep you. Don't forget to come to Dayang City once you're finished with your affairs. Then, we can have a good drink together."

Luo Feng nodded then tidied up his belongings and set off immediately.

Yang Wanyi and Yang Dingtian escorted Luo Feng to the gate of the City Lord Mansion.

"Father-in-law, Waner, I take my leave now!" Luo Feng said, walking out of the main gate of the City Lord Mansion. He then turned back, bowed, and cupped his fists.

"Luo Feng, be careful on the way," Yang Dingtian said. "After your affairs are settled, don't forget to come to Dayang City."

"Hey, the rtiad is full of danger; think twice before acting, and don't be reckless," Yang Wanyi's tone softened as she saw him off, reminding him softly.

Luo Feng looked at the pair, a warmth spreading through his heart. Although this was all a pretense, he could feel their genuine concern for him.

I hope I can find the antidote for the Blood Yin Poison...

Luo Feng took a deep breath, looked at the two of them one last time, then turned around to head in the direction of the city gate.

Yang Dingtian and Yang Wanyi watched Luo Feng's figure disappear at the end of the street before they turned and returned to the mansion.

...

In a tavern opposite the City Lord Mansion, two Martial Artists dressed in blue were on standby at a window-side table. They were two members of the Azure Blood Four Tigers from the Ye family of Dayang City.

Their eyes were bloodshot as they intently watched the City Lord Mansion's gate. The table before them was a mess of dishes, clearly indicating they had been waiting there for a long time.

"Third Brother, he came out!"

Suddenly, the thin Martial Artist's eyes flashed as he stared intently out of the window.

The square-faced Martial Artist in blue clothes beside him immediately stood up. Peering through a crack in the window, his tiger-like eyes looked towards the City Lord Mansion, just in time to see Luo Feng saying goodbye to Yang Dingtian and Yang Wanyi.

"Damn, after waiting for three days, this little bastard finally came out! From the looks of it, he's about to leave Dayang City. Fourth Brother, go inform Big Brother quickly, I will follow him!"

The square-faced Martial Artist in blue watched Luo Feng's departing figure, a cold light flickering in his eyes as he spoke to the thin Martial Artist in a chilling voice.

Both were cultivators at the late stage of the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Court Realm. Their killing intent was blatant and utterly terrifying, causing all the nearby customers to shiver and break into a cold sweat.

"I...I'll go and inform Big Brother and the rest immediately. This kid is not weak. Be careful, and wait for us before you make a move," the thin Martial Artist urged. His figure flashed as he jumped straight out of the window, disappearing at the end of the street in a few flickers.

The square-faced Martial Artist picked up the wine bowl from the table and drained it in one gulp, murder lingering in his eyes. His gaze, sharp as a knife, fixed on the direction where Luo Feng had disappeared. He grinned wickedly, "Just a kid at the mid-stage of the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Court Realm! There's no need for Big Brother and the others to lift a finger; I can handle you myself!"

After chuckling coldly a few times, the square-faced Martial Artist smashed the wine bowl with a CRACK! He then leaped through the window and chased in the direction Luo Feng had disappeared.

The tavern's waiter saw the two leave and immediately chased after them, shouting, "You haven't paid your silver! Are you trying to dine and dash? Be careful, or I'll report you to the City Lord Mansion, and you'll regret it!"

The street was bustling, filled with people coming and going. There was no sign of the two Martial Artists.

A nearby rtiad veteran chuckled, "Waiter, you might as well give up. Those two were Third and Fourth Brother of the Azure Blood Four Tigers from the Ye family. Trying to get silver from them? Isn't that like trying to pluck a tooth from a tiger's mouth?"

Upon hearing that the two were members of the Azure Blood Four Tigers of the Ye family, the waiter's expression changed, and his body shivered.

The Azure Blood Four Tigers were infamous in Dayang City. If they had heard what he'd just shouted, even if he wasn't killed, he'd be skinned alive!

However, since they had dined and dashed, his wages would surely be docked this month. Hatred welled up in his heart. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "I hope you get killed and your bodies are left to rot in the wilderness!"

The moment the square-faced Martial Artist stepped out of the tavern, he immediately concealed his aura and, quick as the wind, pursued Luo Feng.

A short while later, the square-faced Martial Artist spotted Luo Feng in front of the city's eastern gate.

Seeing Luo Feng about to leave the city, the square-faced Martial Artist's eyes gleamed, a wicked smile spreading across his face. Kid, it seems your luck has run out. Don't blame me for being ruthless! You crippled our young master. Bringing your head back to the Family Head will surely earn me a hefty reward!

The Martial Artist stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, maintaining a certain distance as he trailed Luo Feng.

This is Dayang City. If I make a move here and I'm discovered, the City Lord Mansion's people will definitely intervene to save him. Therefore, I'll wait until he's out of the city to strike.
