After drinking a large mouthful of essence, Jiang Feng's complexion regained some color.
Without delay, he circulated his Cultivation Technique to recover rapidly.
In truth, after killing Shangguan Jie, Jiang Feng showed signs of fatigue.
After all, Shangguan Jie was a Divine Sea Realm Eighth Heaven sword expert.
The final Shadow-Extinction Sword Formula killing move Jiang Feng used
drained eighty percent of his profound energy and a large amount of blood.
Without this, he could not have killed Shangguan Jie so decisively.
Afterward, he finished off Shangguan Jie's three followers.
At that time, Jiang Feng was utterly spent, nearly without strength left.
That's why he hastily drove away the four Flowing Breeze Sect women.
After all, Ning Yuxin was no pushover.
Though kind-hearted, her strength was not weak, not much inferior to Shangguan Jie.
Jiang Feng's main task now was to recover quickly and then leave.
The four women fleeing the cave had no other thoughts.
Their only concern was escape!
This youth was terrifying.
Single-handedly wiping out Shangguan Jie and his group, leaving no survivors.
A true young demon king!
Even after escaping the cave, they still felt the edge of a sharp sword pressing on their backs, life and death completely out of their control.
The four women ran hard!
They didn't know how long until finally breaking out of Monster Beast Mountain Range and gasping for breath.
"Senior Sister Ning, did... did that person chase after us?"
"My heart is racing! This is the first time I've been so close to death."
"In the cave, I thought I was doomed. Luckily, that youth wasn't aware Flowing Breeze Sect excels at movement and we lost him."
The three green-clothed women shivered recalling the youth's slaughter.
"You're wrong. It's not that he lost us, but he never chased us."
Ning Yuxin frowned and said softly.
"What? Senior Sister Ning, what do you mean?"
The three women were stunned.
He didn't chase them?
Impossible.
They had all witnessed him kill to silence witnesses.
If he didn't kill them, The matter about Shangguan Jie might be exposed.
"Well... I can't explain, just a feeling."
"If he wanted to kill the four of us, he would have done so in the cave."
Ning Yuxin said.
The women looked at each other and pondered but still had no clue.
After calming down, they urged their movement techniques again, quickly returning to Flowing Breeze Sect.
...
The next day, Jiang Feng finally stood up in the cave.
"Crackling..."
His bones made crisp sounds.
He had cultivated a whole day with the aid of the essence.
Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal broke through again, reaching the Fourth Layer.
His physical strength and defense greatly improved.
If he fought Shangguan Jie again now, it would be much easier.
Not only did Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal advance, but Sword Intent also increased notably from the battle.
"This stone essence really is amazing!"
Looking at an empty bottle in his hand, Jiang Feng marveled.
He had thought his prior weakness would take three days to recover.
But after drinking one bottle of essence, half a day of cultivation restored him completely.
Unfortunately, only ten bottles of this divine item remained.
Each bottle consumed was one less left.
Jiang Feng wondered what effect the three natural stones in his Storage Ring might have.
He was curious but did not try them immediately.
His intuition told him to save those for when he reached Divine Sea Realm.
With only a few days until Heaven-Xuan Ancient Realm, he decided to head to Flowing Breeze Sect first.
Jiang Feng moved his figure and sped toward Flowing Breeze Sect.
He had purposely let the four Flowing Breeze Sect women go the previous day.
He was not a bloodthirsty killer.
Those four, especially senior sister Ning Yuxin, meant no harm to him.
Moreover, Ning Yuxin had even spoken up to protect him when Shangguan Jie tried to kill him.
Also, these four were disciples of Flowing Breeze Sect.
So Jiang Feng did not want to kill them.
Those from Yin You Demon Sect, however, he saw as truly deserving death.
Even if he spared them now, they would return to cause trouble.
So he decisively eliminated them.
Another day passed.
Jiang Feng finally arrived at Flowing Breeze Sect.
At that time, Flowing Breeze Sect was holding its annual Xuanzhong Tower challenge.
Those ranked within the top one hundred of the Inner Sect could participate.
Xuanzhong Tower was a trial tower built by Flowing Breeze Sect.
It had a hundred floors and was about one thousand meters tall.
At the top was a mysterious profound iron stele.
It was said to be forged from extraterrestrial profound iron.
This iron stele emitted great pressure in the surroundings.
The closer challengers got to it, the stronger the pressure and resistance they endured.
Even Profound Gang Realm experts found it hard to approach within then meters of the stele.
This item was said to be a rare artifact accidentally obtained by the previous sect leader.
After years of fruitless study, it was placed here, creating this trial place.
Though pressure increased with tower height, training body movement under such pressure could achieve twice the effect with half the effort.
Because of this, Flowing Breeze Sect had maintained its body movement advantage for over a century.
Currently, nearly a hundred Flowing Breeze Sect disciples were attempting to climb the Xuanzhong Tower.
Enduring the immense pressure, they stepped up the floors one by one.
"Huh? What's wrong with Senior Sister Ning today? She seems off."
"Yeah, she usually leads the way, but now she looks distracted."
"Right? Nearly an hour had passed and she'd only reached the twenty-seventh floor."
"Look at Brother Zhao; he's already beyond the thirtieth floor."
"Do you think Brother Zhao can take first place this year?"
The watching Flowing Breeze Sect disciples discussed eagerly.
On the stone steps near Xuanzhong Tower sat many Flowing Breeze Sect elders.
"Hahaha... Sect Master Ning, your precious daughter isn't in form this time..."
A senior elder teased timely.
"Something unexpected happened; just participating is good enough."
Sect Master Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Oh? What happened?"
"I heard she rushed back from outside just yesterday."
Another elder asked.
"Everyone calm down. After the challenge, I will discuss something important with you all."
Sect Master Ning said seriously.
Hearing this, the elders' expressions changed slightly.
This was serious.
Quickly, the topic changed, and no one said more.
At that moment, an Inner Sect disciple hurried to the viewing platform.
"Disciple pays respects to Sect Master and elders."
The disciple bowed respectfully.
"What is it?"
Sect Master Ning asked.
Usually, if there was nothing important, disciples would not interrupt the elders on the viewing platform.
"Reporting, outside the gate is a young man seeking an audience, saying he has something for Sect Master Ning."
The disciple said loudly.
"Someone seeking the sect master...? Does the sect master meet with anyone?"
"Moreover, the sect master is busy. How can he have time for so many visitors?"
A senior elder scolded immediately.
Sect Master Ning did not reply.
Clearly, as sect master, not just anyone could meet him.
"This rule I know, but the youth claims he comes from Demon Sky Sword Sect, sent by Elder Yun with a message."
"I hesitated but came immediately to report to the sect master."
The disciple explained.
"From Demon Sky Sword Sect?"
Upon hearing those words, previously indifferent elders perked up.
Sect Master Ning's expression grew strange...
"What?"
"You say... the youth really said he was sent by an Elder Yun?"
Sect Master Ning suddenly became alert, eyes flashing with surprise.
"Yes, sect master, that is correct!"
The disciple responded.
"Quickly bring the youth here to meet me!"
Without hesitation, Sect Master Ning ordered.
