Seeing Peach Blossom Fairy looking upset, Ling Zhenfei said, "I'll leave Xiao Jin here to keep you company. Hopefully, Xiao Jin will thrive here."

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "If you have time, come by often."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Certainly, I will come by often."

The two exchanged glances as if there were many words to say, but ultimately neither spoke, and then Ling Zhenfei turned and left.

Ling Zhenfei flew down from the hillside, stepping onto the Spirit Qi Stairway, heading straight to the other side of the small river.

Mid-air, Ling Zhenfei already held his Dragon Tooth Dagger in hand.

The Dragon Tooth Dagger naturally restrained the aquatic creatures. Many monsters sensed the Dragon Tooth Dagger in Ling Zhenfei's hand, and their combat power was greatly reduced.

Ling Zhenfei had previously been curious why these monsters feared a dagger made from dragon teeth, but after yesterday's events, it seemed he understood something.

It's not the Dragon Tooth Dagger that the monsters feared, but the True Dragon that appeared in the sky.

The Dragon Tooth Dagger must carry Dragon Qi similar to that found on the True Dragon, so ever since Ling Zhenfei first brandished the dagger, these aquatic monsters became very afraid.

After yesterday's battle, these creatures now react to the Dragon Tooth Dagger like mice to a cat.

This time, Ling Zhenfei barely exerted any effort and easily reached the other side of the river.

One might say the True Dragon gave Ling Zhenfei a splendid assist.

Returning to the real world, Ling Zhenfei was surprised to find that dawn had yet to break; it was just after five in the morning.

Ling Zhenfei was astonished, having cultivated for many days in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, but in the real world, dawn had not yet arrived.

Ling Zhenfei could only sit on his seat and continue cultivation.

As he began this cultivation session, Ling Zhenfei habitually expanded his Divine Sense, but was shocked when it extended. He had never imagined such a coincidental encounter.

His Divine Sense detected uninvited guests arriving outside the door.

Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped a beat, temporarily unsure who these visitors were.

Even if someone came to seek him out, there were only two possibilities: Feng Zilong's people or Hahn's people.

But regardless of either, Ling Zhenfei wanted to avoid confrontation and escape.

If it were only Ling Zhenfei alone, he might consider fighting.

However, given the current circumstances, apart from him, there were two young women and an elderly man who had yet to recover.

Thus, Ling Zhenfei couldn't engage in battle; he needed a way to get these people to leave.

As he saw these people quietly approaching, Ling Zhenfei knew they were ready to act.

In this situation, rallying Xiao Yun and Emelin to take the old man and flee seemed unrealistic, as time was insufficient.

If these people rushed in, there would be no alternative but to fight, protecting the three and escaping quickly.

But then Ling Zhenfei thought of another method; with this in mind, he opened the window and jumped out.

This time, Ling Zhenfei intentionally made some noise to let them know he had jumped down.

Sure enough, the noise made by Ling Zhenfei after jumping attracted their attention, and a group gathered around.

Seeing the objective achieved, Ling Zhenfei turned and moved towards the leader of these people.

Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense had already identified these individuals; a few carried Ghostly Devices, likely the boss's bodyguards.

Hence, in this group, there was one whose Northern Spiritual Energy wasn't very strong, likely the leader.

Ling Zhenfei lunged at this person, but was blocked before reaching them.

Ling Zhenfei's intent wasn't an ambush, so he stopped and stood before that person.

Ling Zhenfei was quickly surrounded by at least ten or more people.

"Hello, leader, coming with men to break in during the night seems rather improper," Ling Zhenfei said.

The person chuckled and said, "It's quite interesting to argue with us."

Ling Zhenfei was slightly hesitant, unsure of these people's intents, but their spiritual energy wasn't overwhelming.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

The person replied, "Simple. We've come to take someone!"

Ling Zhenfei inquired, "Who do you want to take?"

The person sized up Ling Zhenfei and said, "We intend to take Mustafa."

Mustafa was Emily's father.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Sorry, he's my patient now. I'm treating him, so you cannot take him."

The person burst into laughter, saying, "Kid, we're not here to negotiate taking him away; there's no negotiation."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Who sent you and why take him?"

The person chuckled, saying, "Do you think I need to tell you this?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "If you explain everything, perhaps I'll let you take him, but without clarity, you won't take him."

The person showed a hint of anger and said, "Kid, who do you think you are? You say we can't take him, and so it is? Aren't you overestimating yourself?"

Ling Zhenfei sneered, "You don't believe me? Just try."

The verbal clash escalated, and the atmosphere quickly tensed.

Some began to gather their spiritual energy, seemingly ready to fight.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Fighting here will draw attention; if the police arrive, none will end well."

The person scoffed, "You think we fear the police?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "If you don't fear, neither do I."

With words exchanged this far, there was nothing more to say; Ling Zhenfei was surrounded by over ten individuals.

But they knew Ling Zhenfei was a cultivator, so they approached cautiously.

Ling Zhenfei remained unfazed, knowing those surrounding him weren't powerful enough to threaten him, with only a few strong individuals yet to act.

Someone suddenly shouted, "Attack!"

The group advanced towards Ling Zhenfei.

They wielded short swords and daggers.

These compact weapons could be carried easily; ancient texts say the shorter the Ice Blade, the more dangerous, thus giving daggers immense power in skilled hands.

Ling Zhenfei frequently used daggers and wielded them with ease.
