Jin Futu's face darkened, and he said, "If you don't reveal the cause of the illness, I can't treat it."

With that, he abruptly stood up and said to Fengyun Tian, "I'm sorry, I'm powerless!"

Before Fengyun Tian could speak, Fengyun Zhengxiong already shouted, "Tian-er, do you wish for your father's illness to be cured?"

Upon hearing this, Fengyun Tian turned his gaze to Fengyun Zhengxiong and said, "Of course I wish for it."

"As long as this girl accompanies me for a night, my illness can be cured," Fengyun Zhengxiong said, his frail body suddenly straightened as if he had taken a stimulant or an aphrodisiac. His eyes fixated intensely on Jin Qiaoqiao, radiating an incomparable gleam.

"Father, what... what nonsense are you talking about...? You're being too absurd," Fengyun Tian retorted, his face flushed with anger.

"Absurd!" Jin Futu tossed out the word, without giving anyone another glance, and started to leave with his daughter.

"Why are you standing idle? Block them! If my wish is not fulfilled today, I'll immediately commit suicide," Fengyun Zhengxiong flipped his hand, and with a flash of light, a knife appeared in his hand, held against his throat, his attitude firm.

Fengyun Tian, seeing this, had his face darken and shouted, "Stop them!"

The prominent figures of the Fengyun Family, all possessing profound cultivation, immediately moved into action, their figures flashing as they blocked Jin Futu and his daughter, cutting off their escape.

Jin Qiaoqiao, with an expression of deep anger, swiftly drew her Immortal Sword, while Jin Futu also flushed with anger, furiously shouting, "The Fengyun Family, the foremost family of the Rogue Cultivator World, is actually committing such an absurd act. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the outside world?!"

Hearing this, Fengyun Tian showed a look of shame and said to Fengyun Zhengxiong, "Father, for the family's honor, let them go."

Fengyun Zhengxiong said pathetically, "Child, just consider this fulfilling your father's last luxury in life. Your father really likes this girl, and getting her would be worth dying for."

Touched by filial piety, Fengyun Tian immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Seize them and take Miss Jin to the old man's bedchamber."

Upon hearing this, the experts of the Fengyun Family moved with a boom, preparing to act, but Jin Qiaoqiao sent out her willpower, and the Patterned Beast flew off her back, roaring in anger and blocking the way in front of the father and daughter.

Although the Patterned Beast was made with the blood of Shadow Flying Tiger cubs, Jin Qiaoqiao's Patterned Beast wasn't as large as Wang Xiaoqiang's, and her cultivation base had just reached the Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, so her Patterned Beast wasn't as powerful as Wang Xiaoqiang's. But such a mighty beast suddenly appearing indoors created a considerable deterrent, immediately shocking the experts of the Fengyun Family.

"A mere Pet Beast dares to cause trouble in my Fengyun Family? Miss Jin, you don't need to waste your effort," Fengyun Tian released his Divine Sense, tightly enveloping the Patterned Beast. Under the aura of his Immortal Emperor Stage cultivation base, the Patterned Beast couldn't even move half a step.

Fengyun Tian, at the level of an Immortal Emperor, far outmatched the Jin family father and daughter, their faces paling instantly, their eyes filled with despair. Jin Qiaoqiao set her Immortal Sword firmly against her chest, its tip pressed against her jade neck, ready to commit suicide at any moment.

At this moment, a cry was heard from outside, "Not good, the enemy is attacking!"

Following that, a beast's roar came from outside, like a thunderclap, shaking the heavens.

The Patterned Beast beside Jin Qiaoqiao heard the beast's roar from outside and roared in response toward the direction of that beast sound.

Outside.

Wang Xiaoqiang's army of millions surrounded Fengyun City, and the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, along with Wang Xiaoqiang, had already fought their way into the City Lord's Mansion of the Fengyun Family.

While the Patterned Beast followed Wang Xiaoqiang in a massacre, it suddenly heard a similar roar from a grand hall, and responded with an even louder roar in the direction of that sound. The Patterned Beast next to Jin Qiaoqiao then issued an even louder roar in response.

After confirming the familiar sound, Wang Xiaoqiang's Patterned Beast flew towards its source, more accurately towards Fengyun Zhengxiong's palace.

The unprecedented reaction of the Patterned Beast caught Wang Xiaoqiang's attention. Seeing his Patterned Beast fly away without cause during the battle, Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat puzzled and flew up to follow. The beast and master headed straight towards Fengyun Zhengxiong's palace.

Inside the palace, Fengyun Tian heard that the battle had already started outside and his face changed drastically, yet he still methodically said, "I'll go out and check, leave it to you here. Remember, you must satisfy the old man."

Seeing Fengyun Tian still so muddle-headed at this time, Jin Futu became furious and shouted, "I'll fight to the death with you all!"

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and two medicine pellets flew out toward the Fengyun clansmen.

Boom boom boom boom boom…

The medicine pellets were Jin Futu's exclusive Ultimate Technique, extremely powerful with great lethality, exploding with a roar. The Fengyun family's experts had no choice but to dodge.

Having evaded the medicine pellets, the experts of the Fengyun Family were filled with shame and anger, their faces twisted and terrifying, brimming with killing intent, about to act against the father and daughter when suddenly the window shattered, and a majestic Great Beast burst in, followed by a young man.

The young man held a hammer in his hand, exuding overwhelming authority.

It was none other than Wang Xiaoqiang and his Patterned Beast.

The Patterned Beast beside Jin Qiaoqiao, upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's Patterned Beast, let out an excited roar, and Jin Qiaoqiao, upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, was stunned, as if dreaming. The young man who had stirred her heart years ago, the person she had longed for, appeared before her in her moment of peril. After a moment's daze, she cried out excitedly, "Wang Xiaoqiang!"

Upon hearing his daughter call out Wang Xiaoqiang, Jin Futu felt reassured and turned his gaze to the newcomer.

Sure enough, it was Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing it was Jin Qiaoqiao, Wang Xiaoqiang was also surprised, recalling the familiar figures he saw in Fengyun City, knowing without a doubt it was the father and daughter duo. At the same time, he realized the strange behavior of his Patterned Beast was due to encountering its kind. After a burst of excitement, he asked, "Jin Qiaoqiao? What's going on? Why are you here?"

"Little Qiang, save us! The Fengyun Family wants to hold us hostage!" Jin Qiaoqiao shouted with agitation.

Originally thinking that the Jin family father and daughter were on good terms with the Fengyun Family and thus feeling hindered, upon hearing Jin Qiaoqiao's shout, Wang Xiaoqiang felt relieved. His figure flashed, and he arrived at Jin Qiaoqiao's side. With a swing of the War God Hammer towards the Fengyun family's experts, a boom erupted, forming a fan-shaped shockwave, violently dispersing, sending the approaching Fengyun family's experts flying backward.

Only one person was unaffected.

This person was none other than Fengyun Tian.

Fengyun Tian stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, eyes narrowing, bursting with a light that radiated immense killing intent, and demanded, "Are you Wang Xiaoqiang?..."

"That's right." Wang Xiaoqiang said, scanning his Divine Sense and noting that this person's cultivation level was at the Immortal Emperor Stage, prompting him to ask, "Are you Fengyun Tian?"

"I am exactly that," Fengyun Tian said proudly.

"Why are you holding the Jin elders and his daughter, though they are also loose cultivators?" Wang Xiaoqiang questioned.

Jin Futu said angrily, "I came in good faith to treat Fengyun Zhengxiong's illness, only to discover that he was lustful, wanting to defile Qiaoqiao. Unexpectedly, Fengyun Tian was confused too, wishing to compel us to satisfy his father's selfish desires..."

Wang Xiaoqiang, hearing this, became exceptionally furious and pointed at Fengyun Tian, saying, "I never thought the Fengyun Family to be so despicable. Fine, today we settle both public and private grievances at once!!"

"Settle at once? On what grounds? You're just a little Immortal King; what do you have to challenge me, an Immortal Emperor?" Fengyun Tian stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, sneering coldly.

...

Aside: (The storyline involving Jin Qiaoqiao has resurfaced; I wonder if everyone has forgotten about her. In any case, she's a girl with a Patterned Beast just like Wang Xiaoqiang and shouldn't just be sidelined. Speaking of this reunion, it wasn't arranged in an abrupt way, right?) (To be continued.
