The courtyard.
Yi Feng sat at a stone table.
A small jug of wine, a plate of beef jerky, and a plate of peanuts—what a delightful time.
Below him, apart from Su Bai, there were over ten young attendants, all standing respectfully by the side, their faces filled with intense excitement and gratitude.
These attendants were roughly the same age as Su Bai.
Yi Feng had instructed Su Bai to carefully select them. They were simple in nature, had good moral character, and most importantly, were as obedient as Su Bai.
After using Su Bai to gather them, Yi Feng granted each of them a bit of cultivation.
“From today onward, aside from helping me with cleaning, your task will be to gather some wild game from the mountains!”
“Of course, it doesn’t have to be anything extraordinary. Since I might need a considerable amount, as long as it looks delicious, it will suffice.”
“However, if something rare comes along, try to get it if you can!”
Yi Feng took a sip of wine as he instructed the attendants.
After all, Yi Feng thought, Shi Qingwu had been in seclusion for so many days, and it was likely she would be coming out soon.
Once she emerged and paid him the final amount, he could leave smoothly to continue his quest to find his final disciple.
The process of searching for disciples was dull and uneventful.
Although he now had spirit crystals, wandering the martial world, one could never be sure of being trapped in places from which it would be difficult to escape in a short time.
Therefore, being prepared beforehand was crucial.
Keeping some food in his spatial ring to avoid starving to death in case of danger became paramount.
This was also why Yi Feng needed so many attendants.
Yi Feng had also planned.
He could store plenty of cured meats, sausages, and hams. If the worst came to pass, he could make them into braised dishes, put them in bags, remove the air, and create vacuum-packed meals.
The dozen or so attendants responded respectfully.
Under Su Bai’s leadership, the dozen attendants quickly headed into the rear mountains.
“Split up.”
Make sure to satisfy the boss!
Su Bai, as the group leader, ordered sternly.
The other attendants responded and, with a shift of their feet, darted off in all directions.
“Boom!”
“Boom-boom-boom!”
“Patter-patter-patter…”
“Oww-oww-oww…”
Soon, the rear mountains of Hundred Refinements Sect echoed with a series of explosions and the howls of terrified beasts.
The dozen attendants swept through like a swarm of locusts.
The commotion from the mountains soon reached Hundred Refinements Sect.
“What’s going on?”
“Is that mysterious expert back again?”
“Would he attack Hundred Refinements Sect?”
Countless patrol teams were mobilized, and many uninformed disciples were panicking.
Even Second Elder, Third Elder, and Wang Yue, hearing the commotion, quickly gathered.
“What’s happening?”
Second Elder asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
"It seems Su Bai elder is hunting beasts again in the rear mountains!" Third Elder, observing the commotion, couldn't help but say.
Why would Senior Su Bai hunt beasts for no reason?
Second Elder frowned deeply, remembering that several of Hundred Refinements Sect’s guardian beasts had gone missing recently, and a bad premonition crept into his heart.
What if Senior Su Bai decided to slaughter all the beasts belonging to the Hundred Refinements Sect?
After all, they were a rare and valuable source of combat power for the sect.
“Could we respectfully request Senior Su Bai not to harm our sect’s beasts?” Second Elder asked.
I think we should at least greet Senior Su Bai and bring it up!
Third Elder nodded beside him.
“I think so too. Actually, Senior Su Bai is quite approachable and doesn't put on airs!”
Wang Yue, having interacted with Su Bai before, had the most authority on the matter.
Hearing Wang Yue’s opinion, the seven or eight elders present reached an agreement, deciding to enter the mountains and discuss the matter with Su Bai.
Second, they wanted to use this opportunity to get close to Su Bai greatly.
The group quickly entered the rear mountains and ventured deep.
After an entire half-day of rushing forward, the elders finally felt the battle fluctuations more clearly.
“It should be just ahead.”
Second Elder said.
“Yes, let’s hurry up and catch up. But everyone should also watch their safety.” Third Elder added.
The group nodded solemnly.
After all, Hundred Refinements Sect’s rear mountains connected to an enormously large mountain range, which was renowned throughout the martial world.
By venturing this deep, the possibility of encountering true immortal-tier beasts was very high.
In the forested environment, plus with the stronger defense and attack of beasts compared to humans, it was disadvantageous for humans of the same level.
Not to mention, there were immortal beasts with ten layers of strength in this mountain range.
So normally, their elders definitely wouldn’t venture this deep.
This time, they came in relying on the advantage of numbers.
Of course, their greatest confidence stemmed from the presence of Senior Su Bai.
Following the battle fluctuations, the group advanced until they finally caught a glimpse through a dense forest.
They saw a massive beast attacking a small figure hovering in the sky.
The beast had a monstrous form and was half-dragon, with a pair of enormous flesh wings that stretched a hundred zhang wide.
At present, it looked extremely enraged.
It roared from time to time, shot out shockwaves, or spewed flames at the tiny human before it.
“Oof!”
“A true immortal-seventh-layer fire-winged dragon!”
Seeing the colossal creature in the sky, Wang Yue and the others broke out in cold sweat.
A beast of that level, even with several of them combined, wouldn’t stand a chance.
Nevertheless, the figure hovering in the sky faced it with ease, effortlessly dodging its attacks.
Look quickly, is that Senior Su Bai?
Second Elder squinted and called out, but couldn’t see clearly.
“Seems so.”
Third Elder narrowed his eyes and said, “Although this distance makes it hard to see his face, one can vaguely tell he’s wearing the attire of our Hundred Refinements Sect’s attendants.”
Since this is the clothing of an attendant, it must be Senior Su Bai.
“After all, there’s no one else who could be this strong and still wear attendant clothing.”
It seems that Senior Su Bai is truly terrifying!
Second Elder stroked his beard with a sigh.
Before, it was all speculation, but now, seeing it confirmed with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts was naturally intense.
While they were talking, the figure in attendant clothing in the sky seemed to have lost patience. After dodging the fire-winged dragon’s attack, he darted skyward and appeared on the dragon’s head, delivering a palm strike down.
That palm strike.
Made the fire-winged dragon roar with earth-shaking intensity.
“Boom!”
Then its colossal body, crashed to the ground with a deafening roar!
“Wow!”
Senior Su Bai is so mighty! The fire-winged dragon was killed by him effortlessly!
Second Elder’s gaze was filled with fervent admiration.
The others were also completely awed, resembling star-struck fans.
“No time to lose, let’s hurry up and greet Senior Su Bai, and kindly ask him, if he encounters beasts from the Hundred Refinements Sect, to show mercy.” Second Elder said, knowing that the sect’s few immortal-tier beasts often roamed this area.
Saying that, the group excitedly flew over.
The person noticed their arrival, collected the transformed corpse of the fire-winged dragon, and turned to look at them.
Greetings to Professor Su Bai from me and the others.
Still far away, the excited group began greeting.
As their voices fell, they just arrived before him, bowing respectfully with their heads lowered.
But no response came for a long time.
“Umm…”
Why isn't Senior Su Bai responding?
The group looked at each other with their heads lowered, filled with trepidation. After hesitating for a long while, they cautiously lifted their heads.
This lift of their heads.
Left the seven or eight of them stunned, as if turned into ice sculptures standing there.
Huh, isn't that Senior Su Bai?

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
