A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World-Chapter 318: Doubt.

Li Feng and Shui Ruo appeared above the crack where the Divine Brick had been resting.

Almost immediately, both of them tilted their heads in confusion as they felt the strange stir and turmoil in the surrounding spiritual qi.

Just then, Shui Ruo noticed the falling light in the distance and shouted excitedly.

"Look, Li Feng! There’s something over there!"

Li Feng also noticed it.

And he couldn’t help but be impressed by how extraordinary the phenomenon was.... especially the massive phoenix that flew gracefully around the descending light.

"Oh? Is that related to the Divine Ice Phoenix?"

Li Feng still remembered that there was indeed a phoenix inside this secret realm, at least according to the system’s description tied to the Apostle.

From the information he knew, it seemed that Lord Azure Heaven and the Divine Ice Phoenix had joined hands to destroy that calamity.

Later, the phoenix must have fallen, which led to the current known history of this secret realm.

"But... why now?" he murmured as he look at that great opportunity.

...Li Feng still felt something was off, as if he were still missing an important piece of the puzzle.

What felt strange was that no such extraordinary opportunity had ever been mentioned, let alone recorded, in the long history of explorations by the major sects inside this secret realm

In fact, they didn’t even know the true history of Lord Azure Heaven or the calamity.

All they had were fragmented pieces of information about the phoenix.

And now that he had arrived, more unknown things were suddenly surfacing.

It was as if he had jumped into a calm, stagnant swamp and violently stirred it, causing the long-hidden depths to surge upward and reveal their secrets.

Before he could ponder further, Shui Ruo grabbed his arm and shook it.

"Come on, what are we waiting for? Let’s go check it out! Others might already be heading there too."

At her words, Li Feng nodded.

After all, such an extraordinary sight appearing in the sky would definitely draw everyone’s attention.

...and from the countless repeated histories of secret realms, whenever a great opportunity emerged, conflict inevitably followed.

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He still remembered that there were demonic disciples inside this secret realm... including a powerful one who had managed to defeat Jian Ruyi and was still roaming freely.

But then a faint, cold smile appeared on his face.

After all, this might be the perfect opportunity... to take care of all the demonic disciples in one swoop.

With those demonic disciples eliminated, he would have one less thing to worry about.

"Let’s go. We can’t be too late for the party."

Soon, after storing the Divine Brick back into his soul, both Li Feng and Shui Ruo rushed toward the direction of the falling light.

However, after traveling only a short distance, they both stopped in their tracks upon noticing a devastated area nearby.

"There seems to have been a battle over there," Shui Ruo said softly, gazing at the destruction.

Li Feng frowned slightly as he felt a familiar sword intent lingering in the air, so he decided to investigate.

"Let’s check that place out first."

Shui Ruo nodded and followed him.

Soon, they arrived at the scene.

Their gazes immediately landed on a massive man bound tightly with chains.

And Li Feng recognized him right away as this was the man Wang Chen had introduced as Tie Shan, the strongest outer sect disciple from the Earth Dragon Sect.

Even though he looked severely injured, Tie Shan was still alive.

Frowning, Li Feng walked over.

Once he got closer, his frown deepened as he examined the familiar-looking chains.

But then a soft, rough voice echoed out from Tie Shan.

"...Who..."

His head remained slumped forward, his hair loosely covering his face.

"Who did this!?" Shui Ruo exclaimed, her heart boiling with anger at the sight of another righteous sect disciple being injured so badly.

Li Feng remained silent.

He casually waved his hand, and a precise, sharp pressure rolled out, instantly shattering the chains into countless fragments.

Ting!

Ting!

Ting!

Tie Shan’s massive body fell forward without support, but Li Feng quickly stepped in and caught him.

He then took out a flawless-grade rank 2 recovery pill and pushed it into Tie Shan’s mouth.

With a soft swallow, the pill dissolved instantly.

A gentle yet potent wave of medicinal energy spread through Tie Shan’s battered body, seeping into his meridians and nourishing his injuries.

The torn flesh along his arms began to knit together at a visible pace, while his chaotic breathing gradually stabilized.

"...Ugh"

A low groan escaped Tie Shan’s lips.

His fingers twitched slightly.

Then, slowly, his eyes cracked open.

For a brief moment, confusion clouded his gaze until it gradually sharpened as he look up.

And as Li Feng looked at the man’s face up close, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

It looked almost unfitting for such a delicate, handsome face to paired with that massive body full of bulging muscles.

"Oh... thank you, fellow Daoists."

Tie Shan offered a gentle smile as he thanked the two who had saved him.

But the moment his gaze fell on Li Feng, he froze.

As a disciple of the Earth Dragon Sect who specialized in body tempering cultivation, he had exceptionally sharp eyes when it came to physiques.

Almost immediately, his handsome face twisted into an expression of utter disbelief.

His mouth fell open wide as he stared at Li Feng in shock.

"... Spirit Body Realm?" he murmured, looking at Li Feng as if he were staring at a monster.

Li Feng tilted his head slightly at Tie Shan’s shocked expression.

He turned to Shui Ruo beside him.

"What’s wrong with him—"

But he paused mid-sentence as he saw Shui Ruo also staring at him with similar disbelief.

She swallowed nervously and asked,

"Li Feng... your body is at the Spirit Body Realm?"

"??"

At the same time, at the place where the falling light had descended.

A large crowd of disciples had already gathered.

The atmosphere was tense, with two distinct sides formed at a distance from each other.

One side consisted of disciples from the righteous sects, while the other side was made up of demonic path disciples.

Both groups were warily watching one another, neither daring to make the first move.

Strangely, no one stepped forward to claim the glowing ball of light floating quietly at the center.

It was as if everyone feared being attacked the moment they tried.

The situation had fallen into a complete deadlock.

Yue Lan and the others had just arrived when they noticed the scene.

And the moment Liu Yanyue and Jian Ruyi appeared, the righteous sect disciples let out a collective sigh of relief.

With the strongest disciples from the Azure Moon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect now present, they felt significantly more secure.

Ning Jianli, Jing Lu, and Ling Lin quickly ran over to the group, their eyes brightening with relief.

"Oh, you’re finally here, Senior Sister Jian!" Jing Lu smiled happily, then looked around. "Eh? Where is Li Feng?"

Jian Ruyi nodded at her before turning her gaze toward the demonic disciples in the distance, her brows furrowed deeply.

Just as she was about to answer, a loud, familiar cold voice rang out from the other side.

"Found you!!"

In the next instant, a sharp sword intent swept through the area as the terrifying hum of an invisible sword shot forward at frightening speed.

Jian Ruyi recognized that invisible sword almost immediately and prepared to intercept it, but her expression suddenly changed.

"?!"

The invisible sword was not flying toward her... it was heading straight for Liu Yanyue.
