Li Futu, who was millions of miles away, still looked back from time to time with lingering fear, terrified that Gu Qingfeng would catch up.
However, after running a long distance further, there was still no movement.
Li Futu could not help but relax a bit and slowed down his pace.
He cursed inwardly, all traces of his previous fawning demeanor completely vanishing from his face.
"Damn it, come to think of it, with that little beauty Leng Shiqing in his arms, how could he possibly be in the mood to chase after me? Sigh, what a pity for my icy beauty!"
Li Futu consumed healing pills as he cursed out loud. Compared to being injured by Gu Qingfeng's sneak attack, he cared far more about Leng Shiqing being taken captive.
The thought of Leng Shiqing, whom he had painstakingly pursued for years, now being wantonly toyed with and molded to another man's whims made him feel extremely disgruntled.
His original plan was perfect: stage a hero-saving-the-beauty act, deliberately pretend to be willing to die for her, move Leng Shiqing to tears, capture her heart, and finally win the beauty over to live a blissful life of daily dual cultivation.
One must know that Leng Shiqing was not only beautiful but also an Immortal King. Having such a dual cultivation Dao Companion would bring immense satisfaction, both in terms of cultivation and personal pleasure.
It was just a pity that he had never expected Gu Qingfeng, this devil, to be as cunning as a ghost and actually use his own scheme against him with a sneak attack.
Seeing that the situation was unsalvageable, he had no choice but to flee. As for Leng Shiqing?
No matter how good a beauty was, one needed a life to enjoy her.
However, he could not swallow this anger. He planned to return to the Immortal King Palace to call for reinforcements and issue a wanted poster.
.......
Inside the main hall of the Xuanming Immortal City.
Leng Shiqing was ruthlessly thrown onto a bed.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with panic, yet carried a trace of stubbornness.
"If you dare to do anything untoward to me, the Immortal King Palace will absolutely not let you off!"
Leng Shiqing issued a threat that carried absolutely no weight.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "To be honest, This Emperor prefers your previous arrogant look. Can you revert back to that? Otherwise, it ruins the mood."
"You devil! Kill me if you have the guts!"
"Come out, beauty Liuyun." Gu Qingfeng clapped his hands, calling out Immortal King Liuyun.
He felt that since both were Immortal Kings, Liuyun could act as a senior and properly enlighten Leng Shiqing.
Soon, a woman with a breathtakingly beautiful face and an ethereal temperament emerged from the void. It was none other than Immortal King Liuyun.
Unexpectedly, after Immortal King Liuyun appeared, the two women simultaneously exclaimed.
"It is you!"
"It is you!"
The two stunning beauties stared at each other with wide eyes, seemingly having known each other for a long time.
"What? You two know each other?" Gu Qingfeng asked curiously.
Immortal King Liuyun snapped out of her daze and explained, "My previous severe injuries were caused by this bitch!"
She gritted her teeth, clearly harboring a deep hatred for Leng Shiqing.
It was truly a case of enemies seeing red the moment they met.
Hearing herself being cursed, Leng Shiqing immediately shot back, "Fine! So it is you, you bitch! I truly regret not killing you back then. To think you were so unwilling to accept defeat that you actually brought your paramour to seek revenge!"
The moment Leng Shiqing saw Immortal King Liuyun, she instantly figured out the cause and effect. This was clearly a trap set by Immortal King Liuyun. This adulterous couple had colluded to deliberately set a snare for her.
"Shut up, you bitch! If I had not been without my Immortal King Weapon back then, how could I have possibly been injured by you!" Immortal King Liuyun cursed back.
"Enough, both of you shut up!" Gu Qingfeng shouted.
Immortal King Liuyun, who had been educated for many days, immediately fell silent, but Leng Shiqing, who had yet to receive such education, continued to curse relentlessly.
"Make her quiet down," Gu Qingfeng instructed Immortal King Liuyun.
Immortal King Liuyun immediately understood. A dangerous, yet breathtakingly beautiful smile bloomed on her gorgeous face.
Having suffered endless bullying recently, she had long been bottling up a belly full of anger. Now that she saw her enemy, how could she not vent it?
Slap!
Immortal King Liuyun did not coddle Leng Shiqing at all and directly slapped her across the face.
This slap was truly merciless, leaving bright red finger marks on Leng Shiqing's face and even causing her neatly pinned hair to scatter.
"You dare hit me! You defeated loser, you..."
Slap!
Leng Shiqing was struck with another slap, leaving both of her cheeks bright red.
Their conditions were quite different. Immortal King Liuyun had no magical power, but her physical strength was still present. Leng Shiqing, on the other hand, was unable to mobilize her magical power and her limbs were weak and limp. Therefore, facing Immortal King Liuyun, she was completely unable to resist.
"Bitch! Just you wait! When the people from the Immortal King Palace arrive, you adulterous dogs will both die!!" Leng Shiqing was driven mad with anger. She had an arrogant nature to begin with, and women were especially prone to clashing with one another, let alone the fact that she was facing someone she had previously defeated.
"Bitch, you still dare to bark, huh!" Immortal King Liuyun actually mounted Leng Shiqing directly and began to get physical, using every humiliating method she had learned from the Little Corpse Charm on Leng Shiqing.
She knew very well that even though Leng Shiqing could not use a shred of power right now, her physical foundation was still there. It was the body of an Immortal King after all, so these superficial wounds would not cause any real harm.
To thoroughly destroy Leng Shiqing, she had to use other methods, ruthlessly shattering her self-esteem and trampling her innate arrogance underfoot.
Gu Qingfeng watched from the sidelines with great relish. When it came to women dealing with women, they definitely had their own set of tricks.
Two hours later.
Leng Shiqing was crying, and Immortal King Liuyun was smiling with satisfaction.
Without Leng Shiqing's clamoring, Gu Qingfeng finally had the chance to ask the questions he wanted to ask.
"Why did the people from the Immortal King Palace attack you?" Gu Qingfeng asked.
Immortal King Liuyun said with hatred, "Because they wanted to snatch the Transcendent Substance! The Immortal King Palace is the most notorious organization in the Immortal Fall Battlefield. Their members come from various major Star Ruins, mostly consisting of vagrant cultivators who are being hunted by enemies in their home Star Ruins or those with no background. They band together for warmth and safety. Not daring to venture into the depths of the Immortal Fall Battlefield, they only dare to play the tyrant in its first half.
They targeted the Immortal Kings of our Sixth Star Ruin in order to snatch Transcendent Substances, because the Sixth Star Ruin has the weakest overall strength.
Moreover, unlike the Immortal Kings from the major Star Ruins who all have families and relatives, these vagrant cultivators have no fixed residence. They hide within the River of Laws, act unscrupulously, and are not afraid of retaliation from the Sixth Star Ruin."
Gu Qingfeng nodded. "So, Immortal King Chongming very likely died at their hands, or was captured by them?"
"Exactly! We were besieged by the Immortal King Palace earlier. I have a secret technique that allows me to condense and disperse into clouds, which is why I was able to escape ahead of time. I do not know what happened after that."
"I really did not expect that you Immortal Kings, who usually act all high and mighty and throw your weight around in the Sixth Star Ruin, would actually be beaten into stray dogs once you reached the River of Laws. With just this level of skill, you still try to suppress your own people internally," Gu Qingfeng said, shaking his head.
Immortal King Liuyun immediately retorted indignantly, "If you had not snatched away our Immortal King Weapons, how could we have possibly lost to that bunch of scum from the Immortal King Palace!"
"Oh?" Gu Qingfeng looked calmly at Immortal King Liuyun and said indifferently, "Are you blaming This Emperor?"

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.

Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
